Disclaimer: I don't own DMC or Senran Kagura.

Both Shinobi and Devil Hunter clashed as blades and metal gauntlets are pushed against each other with the sounds of scraping metal filling the air. Homura gritted her teeth as she tries to force her opponent back with her strength but was getting nowhere as Shin didn't budge but gave a serious face at her. He soon broke the clash as he pushed her back with full force, sending her into the air before backflipping and landing on the ground gracefully. She smirked as she was getting a challenge in strength at the Devil hunter as she lunged forward to swing her arms wildly at him, hoping to overwhelm with an relentless offense and finish him off quickly. Shin stood his ground as he formed an X-cross shape with his arms as he braced for Homura's swords.

The sound of metal hitting on a hard surface was heard as Homura with a crazed grin slashed at Shin which only resulted in his trench coat's arms being cut awfully and revealing his skin from beneath the cloth. Breaking the Shinobi's offense, Shin went for a sucker punch to her face but Homura reacted quickly by ducking under his over reaching arm and slicing him at his lower body as the sound of a grunt was heard.

She then went for a sweeping kick while below his arm but was met with Shin jumping backwards, landing on his head, and spun around while his legs swung in the air and landed a solid kick to the side of her face as she was sent skidding away on the dirt a couple of inches away from him. Homura panted a little as she felt the stinging pain on the side of her face from the kick which she hissed but at the same time smirked.

She was beginning to enjoy this fight as she was facing someone who's very different and unique in which the Devil Hunter represented a challenge that she would train her life on to beat. The other girls took in on what they were seeing with some amazed, impressed, and surprising reactions. They watched as Homura went at it again at Shin as she darted at him with her katanas while the Devil hunter prepared to land a fury of boxing blows.

Haruka was enjoying the fight as she was very impressed that someone who isn't a shinobi is able to take on Homura with a calming and serious face. Hikage seemed interested in Shin's fighting style and how he acts in battle as if he's faced worst. Yomi looked concerned but at the same time was enjoying the fight while Mirai was dumbstruck as what she was seeing.

" How the hell is he not dead, it's like he's just toying her!" Mirai shouted in annoyance.

" Don't be very upset Mirai, he seems very skilled and trained in even his looks~." Haruka said to her little comrade as she began to daydream of making Shin her personal doll.

" He's so amazing, I just hope that Homura doesn't kill him." Yomi spoke up.

" Hmmm, it doesn't matter of whether he dies or not. I do admire his skills." Hikage commented blantly while watching closely at Shin.

" Well then, who wants to bet that the Devil hunter will beat Homura?" Haruka asked daringly as she turned to the others. So far Yomi and Hikage raised their hands while Mirai didn't.

Back with the fight, Homura sliced into the sleeves of Shin's trench coat as blood started to leak from it, she became satisfied that she's able to wound his arm in which plans on finishing him with a few good strikes and ending the fight with his head cut off. Unfortunately for Homura, Shin wasn't affected by the single wound on his left arm as he shaked it off as if it was only a scratch as he rammed his elbow into her her stomach followed with an uppercut to her chin as she gagged out saliva from her mouth as flew in the air a little and landing on the ground on her back as she groaned from the pain.

Suddenly a current of air appeared and surrounded Shin's left gauntlet as a dome but started to form in the shape of a large drill that seemed to be as big as him. Homura's eyes went wide open at the Devil Arm's ability as she felt very weak from the strong blow that she received a couple of seconds ago.

She winced hardly at the pain as she held her stomach as remembering the feeling of it as if the Devil Hunter's bone is made of steel. " What the... hell are you..." she asked weakly.

" Like what the flyer said, I'm the Devil Hunter, a guy who kills demons for a living." Shin replied coolly as he aimed his air shaped drill at the weak shinobi.

" CYCLONE DRILL BREAK!" he launched forward with the drill spinning rapidly as the other shinobi girls were surprised and terrified of what was about to happen next.

Homura stood in shock as she came faced to what will be the end of her life as a shinobi. Closing her eyes, she welcomed her death as the force of the drill sent her flying back into a tree as she felt her spine crackle and screamed in pain. The chaos died down as Homura weakly opened her eyes and noticed that she wasn't dead as she see's that Shin's left gauntlet was a centimeters to the right of her. Looking back at her opponent, she noticed that the Devil Hunter smiled warmly at her as he made his way to her.

" You wouldn't think that I would kill a girl like you huh." he remarked as he brushed off dust and dirt off of Homura who in return blushed at his action. She was confused but smiled at him.

The Devil Hunter is an entirely different being that Homura has ever faced, even though Asuka is her rival and would give her a challenge, Shin was on an entire different level that she would want to reach. Mirai was in disbelief at what she saw, a guy who looked like as if he can airbend or some kind of magic bullshit. " This can't even be happening!" she yelled while Shin gave her an annoyed look.

The other three looked at the damage that Shin's attack caused which missed Homura, there was a very large destructive path with trees torn down and dirt scattered in which the path can be seen from miles in which it reached to the side of a mountain. Whatever they just witnessed, they realized that Shin is something else than just a devil hunter.

" Well a good spar we had, you were lucky to get a good scratch on me." Shin commented Homura.

" A scratch but that cut should be lethal, how are you not in pain?" Homura asked curiously.

" Let's just say that I've dealt with worse." Shin replied coolly as he pulled out a piece of paper with some writing on it.

" Here's a little bill since there's no demons for me to rid." as he gave the paper to her.

Homura's eyes went wide open at the amount that they're expected to pay since it's not easy trying to make money as rogue shinobi. The amount read 1500 yen as she realized that they're low on yen and are still waiting for any job requests. As Shin was about to walk away he suddenly dodged to the side as a bullet flew past him and hit the dirt. He turned his gazed to the small girl with an eye patch holding an umbrella with the tip smoking from firing. The girl threw a tantrum while Shin chuckled at her for her little attempt.

He was then surrounded as the other shinobi girls jumped from the trees and landed on the ground. Hikage readied her knife, Yomi with a large sword at hand, and Haruka giggling to herself with the sound of small glass vials clinking together in her hands. This was becoming interesting as he thought that dealing with the leader of this mysterious squad would be the end but apparently not.

" So you girls don't want me to leave huh?' he asked sarcastically.

" Oh we wouldn't want you to leave yet, not when you still have us to deal with." Haruka said as the others readied themselves.

" I guess it can't be helped then." Shin said as he readied himself into a boxing stance.

" Enough!" Homura declare from behind as was walking slowly with her hand to her stomach as she was able to hold on to Shin's trench coat to support herself.

The others were confused of why their leader stopped them from trying to avenge her. " Let him go, this is all I need from him." she spoked as turned to Shin with a grin.

" You gave me a good fight handsome. Never would I thought of being defeated by a stranger who's not a shinobi." she said.

" Sounds like as if you want a rematch."

" I do but I'm letting you go, considerate as a reward. The next time we meet, I'll definitely defeat you." she said with a determined look and grin as Shin chuckled to himself.

" Alright then but the next time you call me, it better be demons." he said as he walked away from the five to the shadows of the dark forest as the moon is still out.

The girls watched as he suddenly vanished from sight in the shadows as they were impressed. " We should've asked for his name." Haruka said with a bit disappointment of the opportunity.

" That guy is something else and I want to have a shot at him." Hikage spoke with interest in her mind of a fight in the future between her and the devil hunter.

" He's an interesting guy, I hope we get to meet him again." Yomi said cheeringly.

" You guys look as if he's cool but he's not! I'll kill him since we didn't rob him!" Mirai shouted with cute murder in her voice as the other laughed and giggled at her.

Homura for some reason has a feeling toward him after fighting him as if they have something in common. Both can get along as she sees the Devil Hunter as a chill guy who likes to have fun and even during the fight she underestimated her opponent in which she'll train harder. The five girls looked up at the moon to appreciate it's beauty as they only have one person in mind.

The next morning...

Shin having woken up a bit more early at 6 in the morning decided to tend to his little wounds that he received from his late night fight against Homura in which he was impressed that a girl around his age was able to land a cut on him. Sometimes he can drop his focus a bit if he finds the opponent to be weak. As he made his way to the bathroom, he notices a small piece of paper lying in front of his door as he picked it up.

It reads: Meet me in my office at 12 pm. -Hanzo.

Kind of interesting of what the old man wants him later in the evening but Shin had nothing better to do since he has to wait until the school day ends to do his cleaning routines. He crumbles up the paper and throws it away as he enters the bathroom and examines his arm that has a medium cut across. The pain was already gone as he concentrated his demonic power into his cut. Suddenly his skin started to come together and completely stitch itself as the blood disappeared and his arm was back to normal. The only thing that needed fixing is his trench coat's sleeve as it was lying on the floor beside his bed.

Shin decided to deal with it later as he got dressed in his dirty, ragged school uniform that he casually wears and started dialing on his cell phone once again. He waited for Dante to pick up the phone again but heard a different voice answer it as it sound from a young male.

" Devil May Cry." the person said as Shin smirked at the familiar voice.

" Well well well Nero, it's been awhile." Shin spoke.

" Shin is that you, what the hell are you doing over in Japan?" Nero asked confusingly.

" Well long story short but I'm broke when I got here and Dante couldn't help me out so now I'm having to make money by being a janitor." Shin explained as he heard a chuckle.

" Oh wow Shin, a janitor. You chose a shitty job." Nero commented while Shin had an annoyed look.

" Fuck you. How are the others doing?" Shin asked with curiosity.

" Well Lady is annoyed that she doesn't have you to lend her a hand in many of her jobs that she's having to do. Trish is doing fine but wishes that you be back since you amuse her a lot. And you know how Dante is." Nero stated as Shin was satisfied.

" You lonely there bud?" Nero taunting Shin.

" No, I've actually made some friends in this school that I'm working at and they're an interesting lot." Shin said with a smile to his face as Nero was a bit surprised.

" Oh really huh, how are they interesting?"

" Well, one is very pervy to her friends and me, another is a bit shy but likes to talk, there's one that likes to glare at me a lot for some reason, and finally there's one that's very cute and happy." Shin said.

" Quite interesting heh. So when do you want to settle our draw?" Nero asked with a smirk.

" Really, your still on about our rivalry, we fought 26 times and agreed that we would stop fighting for the sake of being better than the other." Shin said with an annoyed look while Nero laughed.

" Guess what, our draw is getting under my skin and I want to settle it Shin! Once you get back here then will determine who's the best second strongest Devil hunter!" Nero said with determination and excitement

" Yeah Yeah Yeah, alright but it better be the last!" Shin yelled into his cellphone.

" It will now talk to you soon again if were able to and take care." Nero said with his last words and hanged up as Shin took a deep breath.

Even though it's almost been a week since he was stuck in Japan he's starting to become home sick but at the same time stay here for a little more longer. The only thing that he found interesting was being ambushed by busty girls who seemed to be ninjas or something but that could be prostitutes wanting to rape a handsome fellow like him. Putting the cellphone in his pocket, Shin hopped on his bed, turned on his Xbox one, and relaxed as he waited until it was time to meet the principal.

6 hours later...

It's now 12pm as Shin made his way to the principal's office with less interest. Opening the door, Shin entered as he sees the old man now smoking a pipe while having two tea cups filled with tea sitting on his desk. The principal motioned him to take a seat in front of him as Shin obeyed and sat in a chair. Both were silent for a moment until the old man finished smoking and took a deep breath of satisfaction.

" How's the job?" Hanzo asked.

" It's alright." Shin simply replied while taking a sip of the tea in front of him.

Hanzo nodded to the answer while observing Shin for any suspicious behaviors. So far the old man has seen how the boy doesn't care about his conditions and education which makes him believe that he's some foreigner who's wanting to experience life in Japan but in an odd way.

" Are you from here?" Hanzo asked with curiosity.

" Nope, I'm from America." Shin answered.

" America huh, why are you here in Japan?" Hanzo asked him some more while trying to understand Shin's motives.

" I was here because of some business that I had to take care of." Shin said while remaining relaxed.

" Then may I ask of what business it is that you were doing?"

" It's classified old man. You don't get to barge on other people's business since it's none of your business." Shin replied with a sassy tone which made Hanzo annoyed at his attitude.

" Oh how the young are ignorant." Hanzo remarked as he smoked his pipe a little more while Shin's eyes rolled.

" Anything else old man before I take my leave." Shin said while Hanzo shaked his head sideways.

" Oh no, just checking on my young janitor and seeing if he's doing alright. So lets talk about girls." Hanzo said suddenly which made Shin confused.

" Say what now?"

" You see Shin, since your young, you'll get to experience a world filled with beautiful and sexy women. Oh how you must be blessed with such youth. If only I was a teenager then I'll get to meet girls with sexy bodies that a man would want." Hanzo said while having a pervy face while Shin was at a lost of words. He's never met an old guy who acts as if he's missing the good old days of admiring women and all. At least Dante isn't like this guy but would sometimes attract some girls either for a drink or just be rejected.

" Back in my good ol young days as a boy, women with large breasts that I've seen are like a gift sent by the heavens which i'm truly grateful for!" Hanzo went on while Shin quietly exited the room, leaving the old man to his fantasies of women.

" strange but pervy old man."

A couple of days later...

Shin is right now raking leaves outside on school grounds as the Fall season is going to be over and the winter season taking it's place. It's week two of his stay at Hanzo Academy and feels bored that there still hasn't been any clients lately. But so far he's been getting along with the five girls that he made friends with. Surviving Katsuragi's pervy assaults, chatting with Ikaruga and Asuka, still receiving death glares from Yagyu, and having fun with Hibari.

Even though Shin misses the guys back at Devil May Cry, he seemed be enjoying the five girls presence as he doesn't feel lonely. He continues raking more leaves into piles until the sound of footsteps was heard behind him as he turned around to face Asuka and Hibari walking over to him.

" Shin!" Hibari yelled with excitement as she ran and hugged him. Shin smiled as he hugged her back while giving patting her head, she's very cute and innocent in his eyes.

" Shin would you like to go have fun with me and Asuka?" Hibari asked hoping that her new male friend would say yes.

" Sure, I'm bored with nothing to do anyways." he replied with a warm smile while Hibari cheered.

" We plan on going to a local amusement park so we got three tickets but don't tell Katsuragi that I bought three just for the three of us." Asuka said while blushing a little but at the same time smiling at another chance of hanging out with him.

" Oh I won't, that crazy blondie won't find out." Shin snickered.

" Then let's go!" Hibari shouted as she dragged both Asuka and Shin's arms with her.

Meanwhile...

At an abandoned warehouse, a powerful demonic presence can be felt as within are five demons who seemed to be waiting on someone. These demons left Mundus's rule for their own personal interests in the human world. Either for blood, power, or to create a new faction that would rule the human world.

" I'm tired of waiting!" one said that looked very slim with razor sharp blades poking out from it's wrists, it's tongue slithering at times.

" Patient Naberius, she called us here for a reason, we must not disobey." another said to his comrade who looked to be taller than the slim lizard demon with a broad chest, it's back protruding spikes while emitting a red glow, and the head being that of a minotaur.

" Indeed, I rather not be decimated by her after what she did to Villius." another one said as it looked to be demonic silver wolf with crimson eyes and gold v shape crest protruding it's neck.

" She's here." a fourth announced who looks to be a humanoid covered in a ragged cloak.

Footsteps were heard as the five demons faced their attention to two shadowy figures emerging from the darkness. One is a teenage girl with light green hair, magenta colored eyes, wearing an orange coat over a black dress with a lollipop in her mouth. Beside her is another girl but a bit more younger with short black hair, her outfit being a white dress. She smiled a little to the five demons but they know that behind the smile is something more dangerous and scary.

" I brought you all here because I sense a presence of a being who's power is interesting and similar to yours. I demand you seek this person and bring him to me. Whoever brings him to me alive or dead will be granted power beyond." the black haired girls said which made some of the demons interested.

" Will that power that you'll reward one of us surpass that of our former master." the wolf demon asked while the girl smirked at him.

" Of course but time is ticking. If I don't have this person by midnight then your reward won't be given." she says.

" That power and the underworld is mine!" Naberius declared as he vanished in thin air.

" I cannot let Naberius take the power for himself." the mintaur-like demon said as he vanished as well while the other three did the same.

The building was quiet for a moment with the five demons gone and the black haired girl chuckling. The other girl looked at her curious as she spat out her lollipop. " So they were easy to fool huh." she commented.

" Indeed but I needed them to track this person down because I've been feeling the presence for a while and sensing the power to as great as mine. Whoever it is, I'll see if this person can withstand a deity like me." the black haired girl said as she and her comrade disappeared.

A group of rogue demons led by a mysterious figure are now after our young devil hunter. Will he survive the onslaught and protect his new friends?
