Chapter - 3
Taking out the phone from his pocket, Kagami saw the name on the screen. He recently bought a new phone on suggesting by Ise for a way of contacting him. For him, this wasn't a hard task. So, he decided to buy one for himself from the money he earned on daily jobs.
Stopping in his tracks, looked down to read the message from Ise. He exhaled a heavy sigh before running the fingers through his hair. What could be so important? Kagami thought while kept staring on the screen. Ise had called him to Kuoh Academy for some urgent work as he mentioned in the text.
It had been a few days since the church event happened. For his surprise, Rias Gremory requested Ise's parents to allow Asia Argento to live in their house as he was away at that time. Kagami desperately wanted to meet the crimson-haired girl but the later avoiding him. And the black-haired boy knew very well about it. No one would want to meet the person who holds their dark secrets.
Pondering over the thought of going to Kuoh academy, he put back the phone in the pocket before turning back on his heels, Kagami started to walk in the direction of Kuoh academy eventually.
It didn't take him more than five minutes to reach the coed school. The black-haired boy gazed over the empty ground of the academy for a while before noticing someone.
A handsome short blond-haired boy with grey eyes stopped in front of Kagami with a gentle smile on his face. "Hello, My name is Kiba Yuuto. Are you Kagami-san?" getting a nod in response Kiba continued. "My master Rias Gremory sent me to fetch you. Please come with me."
Raising a brow on seeing the elegance of boy, Kagami followed Kiba without saying a word. He didn't understand what blond boy meant by a master. Do they have some sort of master-servant relationship? He could only think his after seeing the demeanour of a handsome boy. Throughout their way, the blond boy didn't speak a single word.
On reaching inside a small building behind Kuoh academy, they stopped in front of the door. Gesturing Kagami to stay there, Kiba went inside the room.
Hmm, he is there. Kagami thought as the blond-haired boy came back to take him inside.
The room was wood-panelled with victorian style couches and chairs along the walls, a large circle with strange runes it on floor. Turning his head to the right on hearing the sound water, Kagami saw a figure behind the curtains who was taking a shower. Shower? Inside the room. Shaking his head before acknowledging the presence of others in the room.
A petite a girl with white short hair with golden eyes sitting on one of the couches. The front of hair had two bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while back had a short bob cut. She also wearing black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair. She was wearing the usual girl's uniform.
"Hi Kagami-san, I didn't expect you to come so early." Ise waved his hand in the air as he stood up from the couch with a smile on his face.
"I was nearby. What did you call for me?"
On asking by Kagami, Ise let out a nervous chuckle. "Well, I don't know myself. Buchou asked me to call you."
Before the black haired boy could ask any further, the crimson-haired girl came out from the shower as she said. "Sorry to keep you waiting Senju-san. Please have a seat."
Glancing over a Rias who was now dressed in her school uniform before sitting across the white-haired girl. Kagami looked at the raven-haired girl he saw earlier in the forest behind the church. With a small smile on her face, she was standing behind the Rias. Catching his gaze on her, she winked at Kagami with a playful smile.
The black-haired boy abruptly averted his eyes as pink hue appeared on his face.
"Thank you for accepting my request to come here Senju-san. My name is Rias Gremory, a third-year student of Kuoh academy and president of occult research club." Introducing herself with a soothing voice, Rias moved across the desk before leaning slightly on it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you again Gremory-san."
"Whaat? You guys have both met each other before." Ise yelled out as he heard Kagami with a confused face.
"Here's your tea." The raven-haired girl put teacup in front of Kagami who thanked her.
"Yes, Ise." Taking a sip from his cup, Kagami said to his perverted friend.
"Why don't we skip these formalities and come to the point Gremory-san? Why did you call me here?" Giving her a sharp gaze who tried her best not to flinch. Rias straightened her back.
"Straight to the point, alright. I'm Rias Gremory, heiress of high-class devil clan Gremory and these are my peerage members."
Two black bat-like wings came out from Rias back. Kagami turned his head towards the other people inside the room who also had the same wings on their back. This didn't surprise him a bit. He was in a completely different world. So he was ready to experience these strange things. Putting a hand under his chin, Kagami spoke. "You are a devil and a high class one too. Are they your servants?"
Stepping forward with a puzzled expression, Ise said his thoughts. "Buchou why are we revealing our identity to Kagami-san. We will put him in danger, he is a just human."
Ise was in great confusion. His master had revealed their identity to a black haired boy who was a mere human. They might put him in danger since he didn't have any powers like them. Looking at his friends in the club, they seemed to know this beforehand.
Sorry, Ise but I had to do this. Kagami frowned on seeing the confused Ise. He altered his memory with the help of Sharingan, after a battle with Dohnaseek, a fallen angel.
All the members of the occult research club furrowed their eyebrows in confusion as well. Rias looked at Kagami before Ise as she decided to ask on behalf of everyone. "Why do you mean by that? Don't you remember anything about him saving you from Dohnaseek that night?"
"W-What are you saying buchou? No, it was you who saved me from him" Ise stuttered as he wasn't understanding anything.
Snapping her head, Rias asked Kagami with anger clearly shown in her eyes. "What did you do to him?"
Instead of answering her, the black-haired boy stood up before walked over to where Ise was standing. "It will give you pain for a second but please bear it." Activating his Sharingan, his black coloured eye turned into red colour with a black dot surrounded by three tomoe.
"AAAHHH!" Ise screamed in pain, falling on his knees as he saw the Sharingan. Everyone ran towards Ise with worried expressions. The blond-haired girl, Asia Argento placed her hand above Ise's head. A green glow formed around Asia's palm which intrigued Kagami.
Raising his head slowly, with small tears formed in corner of his eyes Ise picked himself up. "What was that?" as he was overcoming from the pain, his brain flooded with memories. All lost memories of fallen angel attacking him and got saved by the boy who was staying in his house.
"Sorry Ise for playing with your memories." With a nervous chuckle, Kagami scratches his head.
"Why did you do that? No one hurts my precious servants." A dangerously red and black aura surrounded Rias body as she said venomously. The club members stepped backwards, not wanted to get in contact with aura destruction.
"Hey! Buchou, I'm okay. Kagami-san didn't hurt me." Ise pleaded to Rias, giving her assured smile.
"Yes buchou, I'm sure Kagami-san didn't mean to hurt Ise-san." The blond-haired girl said in a soft tone with a worried face. She grabbed the hand of Ise as her whole body shivering.
Kagami with a bored expression kept starting at Rias' eyes. That girl didn't know what she was dealing with. If he was Sasuke, she would quiver in fear. She was lucky that he looked similar to Sasuke only.
Came to understand her situation, the red and black aura calm down as she moved to Ise's side. "Are you sure?" patting the head of a brown-haired boy, she asked with a worried tone.
But for the brown-haired pervert grinned perversely. Getting another chance to be adored by the beautiful woman.
Seeing that, Kagami facepalmed. I think, something never changes. With a thin smile on his face, he sat back on the couch before taking a sip of a tea.
Ise separated himself from Rias as he remembered something. "Buchou are you gonna turn him into a devil?"
Rias shook her head in response to Ise before glancing at the black-haired boy. "Even if I want, I can't."
"Eh!? What do you mean?" With a complicated face, Ise asked.
Kagami who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed till now looked at Rias as she crossed her arms under breasts. Doing everything to not look at those beautiful and large mounds of her as they jiggle a bit he abruptly looked outside the window.
He didn't want to be called a pervert and fall into the same category as Ise. It would be bad for an Uchiha to known by that. There was no Uchiha he knew who had a laid back personality, everyone seemed uptight.
"Why not ask Senju-san? I'm sure he'll give you an answer to it." Rias said with seriousness.
Coming back to her place where she was leaning on, she waited for an answer. "I'll give you an answer although if only you guys will answer my questions."
Kagami continued.
"Ise can you go outside for a minute. I want to discuss something with Rias-san in private."
Ise blinked his eyes for two-three times as he heard Kagami. "But why me only? I-I mean…"
Kagami raised his hand to stop Ise. "Please, it will be better for you."
Clenching his fist in frustration, Ise said out loudly. "What? Are you gonna hurt them?"
"if I want then I would have done it much earlier."
Not able to say it back against just what Kagami said it right now, Ise groaned. What handsome black-haired boy saying was correct. Not only he saved his life from fallen angel douchebag but didn't interfere with his devil life also. Swallowing anger before plastering a smile on his face, Ise turned backwards to exit the clubroom.
"Wait! Ise-san, I'm also coming." Asia ran off to follow Ise before giving a low bow to Kagami.
"Now that Ise has gone, can you care to tell me What are you exactly Senju-san?" Rias asked with a thin smile on her face.
Words came out from Kagami's mouth as he heard the heiress of the Gremory clan. "I'm human."
Every member of Rias' peerage looked at each other as they didn't trust his words. The raven-haired girl standing quietly till now spoke. "Even if you said that however, how are you going to justify having chakra in your body?"
Without changing the expression of his face, Kagami said in a monotone voice. "You can say I'm special."
Making every member of the club annoyed by his answer, the tension in the room began to rise. Rias pinched the bridge of her nose as she thought how to approach the conversation. The other person knew about her plan regarding Ise. Thanks to Satan, the black-haired boy hadn't told Ise about manipulating the situation of fallen angels in her territory to her desire. Now, the timeline of that drawing soon. She couldn't afford to lose Ise, not now. A single bad word might make things worse than before.
Suddenly the expression of Rias changed to surprise but hid it very well from others as she thought but the black-haired boy seemed to catch that.
What if I manage to convince him to help in a certain situation. That would be great since she and Akeno saw the strength of this human in the forest. But she has to take every step carefully to accomplish it. A faint smirk appeared on crimson-haired girl's face.
"Well since you were avoiding me these past days. Now it's time to explain your reason for doing that. I want the truth from you Gremory-san, please don't disappoint me otherwise I have to use its force." Leaning back on the couch, Kagami said in a serious tone.
He needed to know the truth before telling Ise about Rias' deeds. However, Rias seemed to care about her peerage as what she called that. The wordiness on Rias and others' faces were natural when he used his Sharingan on Ise. Though, he couldn't trust them easily. After all, they were devil, creature embodiment of evil and malicious as he came to know by their actions.
"Ara ara, a warning you say." Akeno licked her finger seductively as yellow lighting ran through her fingers. The blond-haired boy and a petite girl got in their stances if the fight breaks out.
However, the human they invited in their clubroom unfazed by their action as he was sitting comfortably.
Raising her hand in order to stop her peerage to do anything stupid. Releasing a heavy sigh from her mouth, she had no choice left but to reveal her secrets to the black-haired boy. So, Rias decided to explain eventually.
"My family has made a marriage contract with House of Pheonix before I was born. I have to marry the third child of the house of Pheonix after I finish my studies in the human world. However, that man is a womanizer and arrogant and I despise him. I don't like people who look down upon weak. After so many revolts by me, Both house of Pheonix and Gremory came to a solution where I have to win rating game against him in order to cancel the contract and free from this marriage"
"What's rating game?" Kagami listening to her story calmly. He was sure that heiress of the Gremory clan meant what she said.
Taking out a small white coloured piece from her pocket, Rias showed that to black haired boy who narrowed his eyes as he recognized the object. "This is a evil piece. Every high-class devil has set of 15 pieces just like in chess. 1 king, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rook and 8 pawns. By using them, we are able to incarnate every species into the devil except Gods."
Rias continued
"The rating game is a competition between two high-class devils with their peerage. The rating game used to measure a devil's strength which will reflect their social standing in the underworld."
Kagami was impressed by knowing the evil species. The person must be very intelligent to come up with something so trivial. Without sacrificing your life force to revive someone but there's a lot of things he was missing in order see the full picture.
"So this your peerage?" Kagami said to Rias before looking at the other people in the room.
Nodding at his words, Rias introduced them. " Akeno Himejima is my queen." The raven-haired girl gave a low bow with a small smile.
"My name is Koneko Toujou, Rias-sama' rook." The white-haired girl did the same thing, however, the girl seemed to be nervous for some reason.
"We have already met, I'm Kiba Yuuto, Rias-sama's knight." Giving a low bow towards Kagami, the blond-haired boy stood straight.
"Ise is my only pawn and Asia is a new bishop of mine."
Kagami wondered what she meant by the only pawn. Doesn't she have seven more pawns? Leaving that for later, the leaf shinobi asked further. "So, let me guess. Since you have fewer people in your peerage or not strong compare to your fiancée, you're recruiting new people for at least able to stand against him. Am I correct?"
Everyone present in the room were surprised when they listened to the black-haired boy. They need to careful around him otherwise they would be destroyed within a second if he somehow become their enemy which they didn't want. A person with high intelligence, no wonder he was able to found about fallen angels situation.
"My my, aren't you a smart one?" Akeno giggled with her eyes closed before saying.
"Six months ago when I was searching for new recruitment for my peerage. I encountered Ise and sensed a sacred gear within him but his magical energy was very low that we weren't able to recognize what type of sacred gear he has. I wanted to propose a place in my peerage but.."
Kagami saw the guiltiness in her eyes as she stopped speaking. Rias placed both of her hands on chest as her heart started to fast. Akeno moved towards her king before placing her hand on crimson-haired girl's shoulder to assure her.
Opening her eyes before Rias continued. "But I was afraid that he might deny my request. The thought of losing potential member for my peerage, I was afraid to ask him. Instead of going out and request him, I waited for an opportunity to reincarnate him without his will."
"Ah, you used that fallen angel woman as bait. Turning Ise into devil without his knowledge after she killed him in cold blood. Putting him under your obligation for saving his life even if he denies being your servant." Kagami said as annoyance clearly seen in his voice. He didn't know what to do now whether he should tell Ise or let Rias do. Rubbing his forehead as he was finding a solution for it.
"He is my family now. Every member of my peerage is like a family to me. I never treated or sees them as a servant." Expressing her emotion in a soft tone, Rias stood silently as others watched her.
"I'm giving you a chance to amend your deeds. Now you have to tell the truth to Ise, sooner or later it's your choice." Standing up from the couch, Kagami said in a commanding tone.
"N-No, I can't. What if leave us?" Snapping her head as she heard the black-haired boy, small tears formed in the corner of Rias' eyes as Rias yelled out.
Narrowing his eyes before Kagami spoke. "I'm giving you a chance. The longer you wait, You will hurt him more. Once the bond becomes strong, the person falls into despair and sadness if that bond breaks. Making him vulnerable in the end. I'm favoring to you by not telling him myself. "
Rias tried to open her mouth but shut it as she didn't know what to say.
"Rias, Kagami-san is right. We should tell Ise-kun and even if he decide to leave us, we will stop him by showing how much we love and care about him." The raven-haired devil girl said in a calm tone as her bestfriend, not a queen.
"Yes Buchou, even Ise-senpai is a pervert but he is a good person also. He deserves the truth." Munching the cookies, Koneko showed a small smile on her face which was unusual as the white-haired girl didn't show emotions much.
Agreeing with his friend, Kiba also nodded.
"See Gremory-san even your peerage wants that. And what if Ise comes to know your deeds accidentally, I don't think he would see your face again in his lifetime. Can you deal with that?" Kept staring into her eyes which were filled with nervousness, Kagami waited for a response.
"Okay, I-I will." Rias slowly nodded with determined eyes. A huge smile appeared on their faces as they heard the crimson-haired girl.
"Alright then, it's settled." A heavy sigh escaped from Kagami's mouth. He felt relaxed now as a burden on his shoulder to explain brown-haired pervert all these complicated things vanished. He thanked inwardly to whatever God listening to him. As the devil girl, Rias eventually agreed to come to his terms.
Turning his head towards the door, where Ise and Asia came back to the clubroom as Kiba brought them.
Glancing back and forth at the people in the clubroom as the leaf shinobi stuck in dilemma. His curiosity had increased as he came to know other stuff about the supernatural world. It would be very useful for him and he might know some way to get back to his world. But so far now, these devils were the only ones he encountered ever except those black wings angels.
Searching for a way to ask them to explain to him more about the supernatural world without blowing his cover. Kagami decided to ask something stupid he never thought of.
"By the way, I'm new to this world. I-I mean supernatural. So will you tell me more about it." The black-haired boy shuttered in mid-sentence before chuckling nervously as he scratched his head.
Rias and members of her peerage stared at the black-haired boy with dumbfound expression on their faces.
"Why not? However, I want to propose something." A sharp glint appeared in Rias' eyes as she grinned mischievously.
"W-What?" Ise looked back and forth at others on not understanding the motive behind Rias' words. The brown-haired boy widened his eyes in sudden realization. NOOOO! You can't Buchou. That handsome bastard will steal all girls in the club. His dream to become harem king won't come true. Anime tears started rolling down on his cheeks as he fell down on his knees.
"What happened Ise-san?" The blond-haired patted his shoulder with a worried look on her face as she didn't understand the sudden change in Ise's demeanour.
"Well, where shall I start?" Rias tilted her head cutely while winking at Ise as she said.
It had been a roller coaster ride for Kagami to warp a lot of information around his head. Rias and her peerage explained to him about every race in the supernatural world. From devils, angel to several mythologies. Compare to his world, this world was vast. All these beings hid from humans, who would have thought that these beings lived together with humans without even knowing them.
Whistling while walking down in the corridor as Kagami's both hands were behind his head. the sky had coloured into deep orange as the sun was setting. Ise and Asia decided to stay back in the clubroom as they still had jobs to do. The image of Ise' dancing around when he denied the request of Rias. The corner of his lips turned upwards.
Rias wanted him to become the devil in her peerage which he denied politely by saying 'I can't abandon my humanity'. The long lifespan, beautiful woman and world's wealth did not fascinate him. Regardless of her desire, he did not think she could reincarnate him as she told him that the evil piece holder needed to be strong enough or equal in power to the person he or she wants to reincarnate.
And Kagami was on whole another level compared to them. To him, they were on the level of ninja academy students back in his world.
Walking out of the old school building Kagami reached the school ground within a few minutes. As he was going to exit the school gates someone called him out.
"Hey, you! Stop there."
Stopping in his tracks, Kagami turned back to look at the person who stopped him. A young bespectacled woman with slim figure, black hair styled in a short bob cut and violet eyes. She wore a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, a black shoulder cape and matching button-down the corset, and a magenta skirt with white accents.
Raising an eyebrow on sensing the same energy as Rias and her peerage possessed. Hmm, a devil. She must be the other devil Rias talked about. Kagami turned himself towards the unknown girl to face the girl.
"Who are you? And what are you doing on the school premises? You don't seem to study here." The short-haired girl questioned the boy with a straight face.
"Uhmm, Hi there! I'm Kagami Senju. Gremory-san invited me to her club to discuss something. And I am going to enrol in your school so I decided to check it out." With a thin smile on his face, the black-haired boy extended his hand out.
As soon as the bob styled girl heard the name of the boy who was standing before her eyes, her eyes widened a little as she remembered the talk with Rias a few days ago.
Flashback
Inside the student council room, two girls were playing chess. However, their focus was on the discussion instead of on the chess. One of them was a crimson-haired girl, Rias Gremory, a third-year student. And the other girl was her childhood friend who also a third-year student, Sona Sitri.
"Congrats Rias on getting a Longinus user in your peerage." Sona smiled as she moved the pawn piece on the chessboard.
"Thank you, I just hope it would be enough to defeat him." With a concerned look on her, Rias moved her chess piece as well.
"That won't enough. You need to train your new peerage members as soon as possible if you want to even stand against him." Knocking off one of Rias' pieces, Sona said in a serious tone.
Looking outside the window of the room, drifting her mind away from the chess as she heard her best friend before speaking in a low voice. "I intend to do that."
Staring at the concerned face of Rias, the short black haired girl could not resist asking. "What's the matter Rias? Want to share it?"
Gazing for a while outside before turning back to look at her best friend. "We have an abnormal human in our territory and quite a powerful one too. His name is Kagami Senju."
Furrowing her eyebrows on hearing Rias, Sona Sitri didn't understand what's so unusual about him. There were many humans in the world who had sacred gears and awakened them early in their age and not involve themselves in the supernatural world as they didn't side with anyone.
This could be a good chance for Rias to reincarnate another person into devil hood and increase her chances of winning in the rating game against the certain immortal devil.
And if she won't then I'll approach him and offer a place in my peerage. With a glint in her eyes, Sona raised the spectacles from the bridge of her nose. She had four pawn pieces, one knight and one rook left in her disposal.
"What's the problem with it? You can add another person to your group." Sona spoke her thoughts out.
Rias shook her head in denial with her eyes closed. "He is currently living in the Ise's house. He has a mysterious aura around him when I and Akeno met him for the first time. And what's interesting about him is that his eye changed into red colour with three tomoe in a circle inside it."
"An ocular type sacred gear?"
Giving a small nod to her best friend, Rias spoke her suspicion. "It seems like that and he has chakra, something to doubt him even more."
Sona's eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't believe what Rias just said. It was impossible for a human to have chakra. It was something unheard of. Even if a human and yokai give birth to a child then he or she would have a trait of Yokai.
"Are you sure about it Rias. Maybe he has traits of Yokai which gone unnoticed by you guys." Putting both of her hands on the table before leaning slightly Sona said.
"No, we're sure about it. Akeno checked herself for that part too but he is completely human." With a frown on her face, Rias said the bitter truth. Her heart starting to beat faster in fear as she thought about the black-haired boy. The boy knows her secrets and may tell Ise, that's what she was fearing about not the man. "And he knows that I let Ise die."
"What?"
Flashback End
"Oh, you are the one Rias was talking about. I'm Sona Sitri, nice to meet you Senju-san." Sona smiled a little as she shook her hand with him. Rias must have discussed the matter with him if things were going bad for her.
"Likewise."
"I'm assuming Rias and you have talked about the thing she was worrying."
Kagami nodded in response to her. Not wanting to answer more question he made a lie with a nervous smile plastered on his face. "Sorry Sitri-san, I have to go somewhere else urgently."
The short black haired girl watched him running past the school gates before bidding farewell. Sona kept staring in the direction where Kagami ran into until he vanished from her sight.
The black-haired boy was very strong, she could tell without the doubt. The thought of adding him into her peerage was gone now.
