Sorry for the short first chapter. I wanted to get the beginning done before we go into serious detail. I am also new so I had no idea it was going to actually be this short, but I promise the next chapters will be longer. Also if there is something you would like to see let me know and I may add it.
Issei had just made it to school and walked into the front gates when he heard murmuring around him.
"Is that the same perverted Issei as before?' A random girl asked
"I don't know but he looks hotter and way different now." Another girl replied.
"Look at those eyes they are red, his pitch black hair too, and his pale skin almost looks like he is a demon of sorts." One guy added.
Issei was able to hear all of this perfectly well but just continued to ignore them all with no expression on his face and made his way to class.
[Dang people can be so judgmental. I mean I guess you do look different from the rest of the humans.] Thanatos mentioned.
Issei just kept going without responding and still with no expression on his face.
Once he got to class everyone just stared at him with surprise and confusion as he made his way to his desk once again emotionless.
"Issei!" Both Motohama and Matsuda shouted.
Issei just turned and looked at them then looked back at his book without saying anything or changing his expression.
"Wow you look very different Issei. Must be a new phase you are going through. I wonder if you are depressed." Matsuda says.
"I know what will cheer him up." Motohama added "Why don't we have another peeping session in the girls locker room?"
All the girls started staring at all three of them in disgust as they said those those things without a care in the world.
"I'll pass I'm not into that anymore since that is very disgusting." Issei stated while squinting and moving his desk away from them towards the back of the classroom.
This surprised the rest of the girls and the guys even as they all have known Issei to be a huge pervert in the past.
"Wow! I'm surprised he said no." One girl said.
"Yeah he really changed a lot not just physically but maturity and personality wise." Katase added.
"Yeah he is kind of hot now, I would love to ask him out." Murayama replied.
"No. I want to." Katase responded angrily.
"No he is mine." Another girl added.
They all started looking at each other intensely like they were about to have a cat fight over Issei. Issei just rolled his eyes and sighed as he went back to working in his book not wanting anything to do with anyone.
After class both Murayama and Katase went up to Issei looking like they had a question to ask him. This did annoy him but he didn't show it.
"Uhhh Issei?" Katase asked. "We were wondering if you would be interested in joining the Kendo Club ?"
"Yes come on Issei it will be really fun and you seem like you would know how to fight with that body of yours." Murayama added while winking at Issei.
Issei just sat there with a blank expression on his face and finally gave his response, "Fine. I will check It out after school today, but no promises about whether I will join or not."
"YAY!" Both Murayama and Katase squealed at the same time before proceeding to leave the classroom.
{Well sounds like you can start working on your harem by adding those 2 girls first.} Ddraig exclaimed.
[Oh a harem, I've never heard about that before. But just remember it may be hard with the deal you and me made.] Thanatos said to him.
Issei just ignored them both and continued on with his day.
Line Break | Cafeteria
As Issei walked into the classroom he heard two people yelling his name.
"Issei! Over here!" Motohama and Matsuda yelled while waving at him.
Issei shook it off and then proceeded to go a different direction sitting at a table all by his lonesome.
After a few minutes pass girls started coming over and sitting next to Issei, some of them he recognized other ones he didn't. But he just kept eating and stayed silent. Then Murayama and Katase walked over and sat right beside him both hugging each of his arms.
This annoyed Issei a tad as he coldly asked "What do you all want?"
Everyone looked at him in shock for a few seconds and then proceeded to giggle.
"Issei it seems you are very poplar among the ladies." Katase said with a slight blush on her face.
"As long as you have time for me Dear." Murayama said while uncontrollably blushing.
"Murayama!" Katase shouted angrily. "You aren't allowed to call him dear because he is mine so he will be called honey."
Murayama and Katase stared at each other angrily and started growling. This irritated Issei.
"Excuse me." Issei said as he left the table, threw away his trash from his lunch, then proceeded to head to the roof.
Issei went to the roof and started asking questions to both of the voices in his head.
"What should I do with this life of mine? When should I start training to work on my powers? Where is everything going?" Issei asked.
{Partner everything is up to you. But ever since you died you have gotten stronger which is why I am able to speak you now.} Ddraig responded.
[If I were you I would just wait a bit longer, something unexpected is coming up and I would love to see how you handle everything.] Thanatos Replied.
Line Break | After school at the kendo club
Issei arrives at the door to the club and knocks however no one seems to respond to him so he tries again except this time harder.
Knock Knock
KNOCK KNOCK
Issei starts getting annoyed so he decides to just walk in and what happens next will make his blood boil.
"AHHHHHHHHHH" A group of girls scream as they see the old pervert walking in on them changing.
"What are you doing in here pervert?!" One girl yelled at him.
"Wow I thought you changed and were different." Katase angrily said to him.
"Yeah I guess you just stayed the same old pervert as you were before even tho you look different." Murayama added.
"What do you mean pervert?! It's your guys fault for not responding to me when I knocked all those times! I didn't want to see you guys changing, I have better things to do but only came to this club to see if it could help my sword skills! But I guess not so I will just leave." Issei replied to them all with his face turning red out of anger.
"Wait we are sorry Issei please stay." Katase stated.
"Yeah you just scared us and we don't know what to expect with this new you." Murayama added.
Issei's face just went back to being emotionless and responded by saying "Fine."
As the Club started they were about to hold duels and had to decide partners.
"I think Murayama should be put up against the newcomer since she is the strongest and most talented one here." Katase gave her idea.
"I think that's a great idea." One girl said.
"I second that." Another girl said.
"Alright then. Is that fine by you Issei?" Murayama asked him.
"Sure. It doesn't matter to me." Issei said giving a slight smirk with a lot of confidence.
The two took their place standing across from one another as everyone else watched from the sidelines.
"Alright let me explain the rules." Katase started. "One, First to three points is the winner. Second, The challengers may not leave the boundary otherwise they will forfeit a point. Third, Anywhere is acceptable to hit but please be respectful after all this is just warm up. Lastly, if the other person gets knocked out or surrenders before the other reached three points the match is over and no further conflict shall take place."
They both nodded in agreement to these rules.
"Ready you two?" Katase asked Issei and Murayama.
"Ready." Murayama replied.
Issei just shook his head.
"Alright, Begin!" Katase said hyped up.
The two just stood there for a moment staring at each other trying to come up with a plan of attack.
Murayama then rushes full speed at Issei holding up her sword getting ready to strike down. Issei somehow is able to read this and dodges with barely any effort. He tries to return a counter attack but it just gets blocked by Murayama. Issei is surprised with himself right now because he doesn't have any sword skills as he has never used one in the past. While in the middle of him being in his thoughts he gets a kick right to his gut. This sends him back a few feet but he easily recovers from it and gets back in a fighting stance. As the battle goes on they just keep trading blows back and forth no one seeming to land a hit. Issei notices that he could fight better but for some reason something is holding him back.
[Young one] Thanatos starts, [You may have gotten my melee skills but the issue is I never used a sword, I would always use a scythe which is two handed and not a sword. Try to see if you can get your hands on a staff and I promise this fight will go in your direction.]
Issei takes a moment to think about what was just said to him.
"Wait." Issei says.
Everyone just looks at him in confusion.
"May I ask for a weapon change? Such as a staff?" Issei adds curiously.
Katase responds with a confused look "Uh sure I mean staffs are slower and bigger, are you sure?"
Issei just nods his head.
Katase then walks over and grabs a staff from the rack then hands it to Issei.
"Alright, are we ready now?" Katase asks them both.
They both just nod their heads and begin.
Issei smirks as the battle starts because only he knows whats about to happen. Murayama once again moves as fast as she can however this time she changes it up by going for a leg sweep. Issei of course sees this coming and jumps over her leg. Murayama notices his disadvantage in the air and goes for a slash, however Issei blocks it and then at unnatural speed spins the staff so the other end hits her in her chin. This surprises everyone especially Murayama who just smiles it off as she prepares her next attack. Before Murayama could begin Issei runs forward and goes for a smack on the top of her head. Murayama surprisingly blocks it with great strength and does a spin to switch hands which causes her to be able to get a strike on Issei right in the waist. This causes Issei to jump back to put some space between them.
{Partner what are you doing? Stop messing around, I know you have more strength and much more speed than her how are you losing?} Ddraig asks him with a hint of anger.
"I'm trying she is really good though." Issei said with a monotone voice and straight face.
[Boy let me take over and I promise I can beat this child with with ease. I can show her our true strength, I can make her pay. I can..] Thanatos was in the middle of saying before Issei cut him off.
"No I am not interested in hurting her I just want enough power to beat her without causing too much damage." He told Thanatos with seriousness in his voice.
[Hm… Fine but you only have 10 seconds. Usually I would make you pay something since you haven't mastered this power yet or even used any of it, however I am feeling generous. So I will lend you some but like I said, only 10 seconds.] Thanatos responded with some sass.
"That's plenty of time." Issei retorted with a smirk.
All of a sudden Issei's eyes start glowing a bright red and his hair grows longer and more spiky. His face starts turning closer to white but not quite there yet. Everyone was shocked, even Murayama stopped and hesitated for a second before she noticed Issei making a move. Issei moved so fast it seemed like he was using some sort of teleportation power.
[10] Thanatos started.
Issei went for a quick strike to her side but she blocked it and went for a counter attack, however her attack went right through him.
"Wha-What?" Murayama asks with fear.
[9] Thanatos continued.
She was quickly interrupted with another attack from Issei, however this time the attack landed right on her hip. The score was now two-two. And both sides were pushing hard.
[8] Thanatos voice boomed in Issei's head.
Strike after strike was thrown all of them kept either getting blocked or dodged, none landing any contact.
[7] Thanatos continued.
This time Issei lunged at her with his staff above his head and once again it was blocked. Murayama and Issei had their blades locked together.
[6 seconds left boy] Thanatos mentioned
Issei then pushed her blade with extreme force and power. Her sword flew out of her hands and landed five feet away from her.
"Just give up you are unarmed." Issei said confidently with a smirk.
[5} Thanatos continued on.
"Hahaha I'm not giving up which means you will have to strike me down." Murayama said amused.
"Be careful what you wish for." Issei said while laughing.
[4 seconds remaining, you better hurry up boy.] Thanatos chuckled.
Issei started spamming attack after attack on Murayama. She was dodging everything, doing flips, cartwheels, rolls, whatever was easiest that she could do.
[3] Thanatos said with his voice getting louder.
Issei and Murayama continued moving around the mat circling each other. That is when Issei decided to try another move. Once he got close to Murayama he stuck the tipped of his staff on the mat and decided to go for a kick using the staff as support.
[2] Thanatos continued.
Murayama saw this and decided to roll under Issei's legs to avoid getting kicked. Issei also noticed this and once she was about to get up Issei used his staff to trip her on the ground. But since it wasn't a strike it didn't count as a point.
[1] Thanatos yelled more loudly than the rest of the numbers.
"You're finished!" Issei stated with a smile as his staff starts making his way down to Murayama's head.
"Oh am I?" She quickly responded back as she blocked the attack with her sword. This surprised Issei since he didn't realize that this was her plan to get her sword back. Issei then started to use another strike, this time with max power.
[0] Thanatos laughed.
"No…" Issei thought to himself as he started feeling week.
Murayama noticing this and the fact that he was starting to return to normal, well not normal but his basic Death form. She parried the attack and shoved him out of bounds concluding the match.
"And the winner is Murayama!" Katase cheered excitedly as both Issei and Murayama started catching their breaths.
"I need you guys to do me a favor." he started as soon as he finished catching his breath. "I need everyone to keep what happened a secret. No one can know this power I have at least not yet."
Everyone started pondering what Issei said before Katase and Murayama responded.
"Only on two conditions." They replied staring at each other while blushing.
"What are these conditions?" Issei asked while raising an eyebrow.
"1…" Murayama started "You have to tell us what that scary power you had for a time was. And 2.."
"You have to take us on a date." Katase finished while smiling with a light pink blush.
"Fine. However I don't feel like explaining the powers right now so I will tell you guys tomorrow at the next kendo club meeting. And for that date how about this Sunday and I will pick you both up."
Katase and Murayama agreed with a huge smile on their face and with their faces turning as a red a a tomato.
Line Break | Nighttime at the gate of Kuoh Academy
It's now time for Issei to go home but right before he is about to leave the school both Katase and Murayama give Issei a hug on each of his arms with both of his arms going between each of their breasts. Issei didn't even react, he didn't blush or even smile, he just stood there with an emotionless face.
"Bye Issei!" Katase and Murayama said to him as they waved bye.
Issei just waved back at them and continued walking home. On his way home he started noticing that it was getting foggier and foggier as he continued. This surprised Issei since it never in his life got this foggy. Not only that but his instincts are boosted into overdrive, because not only does he have Ddraig he also has Thanatos.
"Do you guys sense that as well." Issei asked the two being in his body.
[Yes but no matter what we could easily take them.] Thanatos laughed.
{I do. If I were you I would be careful partner you don't know what it could be.} Ddraig said with some worries for his partner.
Issei kept marching forward being cautious when all of a sudden the fog cleared and he was at a place he could clearly recognize.
"This fountain." Issei thought to himself while his power and aura started to flare out of anger.
He was interrupted when he felt a similar presence to that of his psycho ex Yuuma.
"Ah well I see that fallen angel didn't finish her job. However, because you are a devil with clearly no master with you I must kill you and punish you." The unknown man said with a smirk.
Issei recognized those wings and that made him enraged. He knew whatever that strange man was, is the same thing that Yuuma was. The mysterious man summoned a light spear and threw it right at Issei's heart, however this time it went right through him and disappeared after hitting the ground behind him.
"What?" The mysterious man asked in confusion.
Issei didn't say anything, while he continued to get closer to the man a pitch black cloud surrounded him. Issei's hair started disappearing while a black hood took its place, his clothes replaced by a dark robe, his face and hands started to disintegrate until all that was left was bones and his skull, lastly a black halo formed over his head.
"Wha- what are you?" The unknown man asked cowardly.
[I am Death itself. I control who dies and who lives. And right now I want you to die!] A deep voice replied to the man.
All of a sudden a giant 6 foot scythe that was pitch black and had a silver blade appeared in Issei's right hand. The man flew down at him with very fast speeds trying to slash off the devil's head. Instead it just went right through him without leaving a mark. That's when Issei stabbed him in the back with his scythe. The man instantly fell to the floor with black flames spreading across his body from the hole where he was stabbed.
"No I can't be defeated." The man said while coughing out blood. "You bastard. I am Dohnaseek. I will not fall victim to such a weakling."
[It's no use. Those black flames eat away at your cells, your skin, your bones, everything. The only way you can be saved is if my vessel decides to save you. However since he is unconscious right now I don't think that will happen. Also send Hades my regard.] Thanatos says with pride in his voice.
With the man completely getting completely swallowed up by the black flames and there being nothing left Issei starts returning back to his ghoul form (I call it his ghoul form when he has his black hair, red eyes, and pale skin since he isn't a full human and he is not in his grim reaper form). Just as he turns around to head home he senses a different presence, not one of a fallen angel but one more evil. That is when he sees a red crest forming on the ground and out comes a red hair girl.
Here is the harem list for right now. Characters are bound to change. Yes is most likely 100% so they probably wont be changing unless something happens. No, however is more prone to change. Maybe means it can go either way depending on what everyone wants and how the series goes.
Yes – Katase, Murayama, Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Raynare, Asia, Xenovia
No – Riser's peerage (-Ravel and Mira), Rossweisse, Grayfia, Serafell
Maybe – Irina, Ravel, Mira, Karawarner, Tiamat, Ophis, Fem-Vali
