Never thought I was going to write in this Fandom. At all. So, to quickly explain. Kasane Randall is from the game Scarlet Nexus—developer Bandai Namco—and Hiroki Kuno is the OC I've made for said fandom.
I was debating to make this an X-Over with Scarlet Nexus but I decided not to. So, to those that played SN, how will the powers work? That is, they are considered Sacred Gears. I know that it doesn't sound plausible but it made sense.
AS for their backstories, they are going to be far different than in another story.
Why am I making this? DxD is like my guilty pleasure fandom. I love the stories, I liked the anime—haven't read the LNs, inb4 people bashing me saying 'rEaD lNs NeRd!'—but I just like reading other peoples' stories. In the middle of like three of them.
Point being, This is about ~66% of the document I've made. No joke, just above 10k words, posting ~6.6k. More of a, I can continue if people seemed interested, otherwise, I'll write this in my spare time of my spare time.
Both Hiroki and Kasane are going to be in a relationship. Answers about a harem at the bottom.
If you have questions, I will gladly answer them without spoiling too much.
...
Two students stared at the building before them, well, multiple buildings. One male and one female, in their respective uniforms. The male wore a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes. He held his briefcase over his shoulder nonchalantly while peering at the girl next to him. He carried a second one, as a courtesy to the one next to him. Plus, he knew she appreciated it, even if she never verbally said it.
The girl looked uninterested in everything around her. Some might call her stoic but the term that the male used was apathetic. The female to the male, giving him another expressionless stare but they have known each other for seven years. They understood each other on levels people dream to obtain. The female 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 corset, and a magenta skirt with white accents. The female also had thigh-high socks to cover her skin to just below the skirt—a preference and a habit. She felt too exposed otherwise.
In the springtime, the shoulder cape would be unnecessary, the blazer also unnecessary, and the button-down shirt would be short-sleeved. Adjusting for the weather, how considerate. The female glanced at the male before they both nodded to one another. "Why did she have to send us?"
"After what she's done for us, you could at least act like a normal school girl."
"Who says I'm not?" the female retorted. The male shot her a deadpan. "...fair point."
The male took the first steps inside the school that he and his friend would be attending for the foreseeable future. Kuoh Academy is located in Kuoh, Japan. The male took the first steps in and had to suppress a shiver. The female noticed and her posture expressed nothing but knew that this place was a hotspot.
"Are you alright?"
"Ara, Kasane-chan, don't tell me you're actually worried about me?" the male said. His navy-colored hair and matching eyes, coupled with his looks that clearly stated he was a foreigner—or at least a half-blood—made him an immediate hot topic amongst the girls. The slight firmness of his jawline and physique, while not a bulging male, was noteworthy in comparison to the other males around him. The shirt clearly did a terrible job at hiding it. The males easily found a new target for bad-mouthing, which the male in question ignored. He also ignored the gossip amongst the crowd, focusing only on the one next to him.
Kasane was a pretty girl with white hair that extended down to her mid-back, a handmade hair clip that parted the left side of her hair, calculating blood-red eyes, her face an impassive mask. The girl was known as Kasane, who had an 'ice queen' vibe that would rival a certain Student Council President and Vice-President.
Kuoh Academy was once an all-girls school. This year, it happened to be co-ed, with a selection of sixty male students—in each grade level—being allowed admission. The school uses what is known as an "Escalator" system. This means that rather than being a school for one certain level of education, it instead houses all grades from 1st-University separated by Elementary, Junior High, Senior High, and College divisions. The two arriving students would be under the Senior High division of the Academy.
"Hiroki-kun, go die."
The return of the tsundere but she's more of a kuudere. Kutsudere…nope, that's terrible. "Only if you join me," the now-named Hiroki called out with a grin. The navy boy glanced at the girl.
"Not on your life," Kasane replied, clearly enjoying the banter if the small twitch of her lips meant anything.
Seeing that, Hiroki smiled, "So, what's the first thing on our list?"
Kasane scoffed, "You seriously didn't pay attention? Baka, we have to report to the Student Council for our class assignments."
"Oh, so, we shouldn't be concerned by the fact that two people are heading this way on your seven?" Hiroki asked with a vague gesture in that direction, not at all concerned by being called an idiot.
Kasane turned around, flicking her hair, making the boys—and some girls—swoon. Hiroki withheld a chuckle, knowing Kasane did not intend for that. "Hello," Kasane greeted.
"Greetings, my name is Souna Shitori, Student Council President," said the girl who had violet eyes, black hair, and glasses that cupped under her eyes, giving in Hiroki's opinion, a strict librarian vibe. Next to her was… "and this is Tsubaki Shinra, Vice-President."
Kasane noted that the bespectacled woman with long straight black hair that extends all the way down to her knees, with split bangs and heterochromatic eyes, with a violet left eye and a light brown right eye, but she carried the same demeanor as the president and even herself, most of the time. Kasane had loosened up once she met Hiroki, compared to when they were children.
"Greetings, Kaichou, Fuka-Kaichou. We were just about to head over to the Student Council building to receive instructions on where our class is, apologies for making more work for you. You must be busy." Kasane left the speaking to Hiroki, as he was better with words than her, a fact she fully admits to.
"I appreciate the sentiment, Kuno-san. Tsubaki-san, the documents please?" Souna asked. They weren't surprised that she knew their names. She had to know who was coming into her territory after all.
Said documents were placed in her hand, "Hai, Kaichou."
"You and Randall-san will be in Class 2-B, and you will be excused for being tardy today. Please do your best to arrive on time in the future. With that being said, let me be the first to welcome you to Kuoh Academy." Accompanied with a small bow, returned by the duo, they left.
Once they were inside, Tsubaki spoke up, "You felt it too, Kaichou?"
The president of the Student Council hummed, "I did…it seems they both possess one of the same series…as they felt similar but they definitely are aware…especially when I can feel that they rival a High-Class."
"Are you-"
"No, I plan to inform Rias of this, as she will be needing the assistance far more than myself."
"Hai, Kaichou," Tsubaki said, agreeing with her before they both turned and headed back to the office.
Both Kasane and Hiroki arrived outside the class and knocked on the door. The teacher—sensei—opened the door by a small margin. "Ahh, you two must be the new transfer students. I assume Shitori-san gave you a pass for the tardy, good. One moment please."
They nodded as the door closed and the voice of the teacher spoke up, louder this time, "Class, attention, please! We have two new students joining us for today, please give them the respect they deserve as fellow students. Come on in, you two."
Hiroki opened the door, gesturing for Kasane first, "Ladies first." Kasane murmured a thank you before entering the room. Hiroki followed in after her. Hearing the praises of the opposite gender was amusing for the duo who wrote their names on the board in kanji.
Randall Kasane and Kuno Hiroki. The names were written perfectly, and the style of handwriting was different. Kasane's carried the elegance of her gender while Hiroki's carried the rigidness of his gender.
Hiroki went first, "My name is Kuno Hiroki, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me." A small bow to his class, he looked to his companion.
"Randall Kasane, I am in your care." She followed Hiroki's example.
"Woah, so cute!"
"Oh, that look! Ice Queen!"
"Another pretty girl!"
"A super hot guy!"
"Ara ara…hello there."
"Eww, another bishounen."
"Go die."
Not on my list of things to do, jackass.
Kasane subtly pinched his arm to refrain him from making that same gods-awful reference. She's heard it fifty-seven times in the last year alone.
"Woah! Bust 95, Waist 56, Hips 88!" Hiroki's gentle look disappeared, and glared at the voice, only focusing on it for a moment. Kasane felt suddenly violated at how that perverted glasses-wearing guy just accurately guessed her three sizes with a simple glance.
"I don't like you," She said, sending a metaphysical arrow to his heart. That wouldn't stop the guy from attempting to peek. Her hand grasped Hiroki's wrist as comfort, to him more than to her.
It worked as his gentle, carefree look returned. One classmate seemed to be staring very intently at his crotch, and to his amusement, her glasses suddenly cracked, not shattered but the spider-web effect looked pretty good up close. The girls looked between her and him, suddenly flushing and discreetly rubbing their thighs.
"So big…" the twin-tailed girl mumbled, seemingly in a daze. Hiroki tried to not take that ego boost heavily.
One of the perverts looked at the girl, "…that's never happened before."
"Randall-san, don't let this guy go," the girl said, pulling out another pair of glasses. Her flushed cheeks did not help her case. "He will definitely rock your world."
"Noted," Kasane said, her amusement only heard by Hiroki, which pleased him on an instinctual level.
"Okay class, please raise your hand to ask them a question."
Class 2-B's hands all shot in the air, save for one or two students. Hiroki pointed to one of them, "Are you two dating? Are you single?"
Kasane and Hiroki looked at the girl, then at each other. They seemed to have a mental conversation seconds before they acted. Hiroki dropped both of their bags before one hand snaked around Kasane's waist, one hand tangled in her hair. Her hand grabbed the open portion of his blazer, while the other went to his nape. Despite the few centimeter height difference between them, they made it work.
Their lips met with passion, and the hand in Kasane's hair found its way to her hip, tapping it once. Kasane complied as she kissed him, raising a leg and feeling his hand grasp her upper thigh, something she secretly never got tired of, and had it wrapped around his waist, making her shiver at feeling what met her. The teacher looked surprised and appalled at this and averted her eyes, mentally trying to calm herself before attempting to intervene.
The girl whose glasses broke was staring with a perverted smile, while three others were seething in jealousy. The girls in the room all screamed in pure shock. There were shouts of calling the manga club to make a Doujinshi of them.
Hiroki and Kasane broke the lip lock, their tongues retreating into their own mouths, a small string of saliva connecting them before it fell apart seconds later. "Does that answer your question?" They tried to not notice how their chests were panting with exertion and abject lust.
The girl who asked nodded dumbly, her thighs pressed together as she tried to process what she—along with her class—just witnessed. Even the teacher was still trying to recover. "Food for thought, fellow classmates of 2-B, don't tread on marked territory."
One brown-haired male shivered involuntarily at this, feeling something odd. For once, he was going to listen to that little tidbit of advice.
Kasane immediately punched his arm, and not lightly either. Hiroki thought it was worth it, seeing the blush coat Kasane's pale cheeks.
"That answers if we're single or not and in a relationship or not. Any other questions?" Hiroki asked, idly fixing Kasane's hair, her cheeks still coated in a blush, even as she felt his hands tangled in her hair before he started braiding it. She checked her wrist to see her hair tie no longer within her sight. The sight made the girls swoon and the guys swear death on him...again. The braid was completed in a few seconds, tieing off the last loose strands with the hair tie. To the guys, she looked beautiful, easily competing with the Two Great Onee-Samas of the school. The girls…well, some might just turn lesbian to try and date her.
Key word, try.
"Where are you from?"
"What are your hobbies?"
Kasane cleared her throat, trying to let the tingle from her lips fade. He's too good at kissing. "We both hail from Kyoto but our Guardian sent us here because this was the best Academy in the area. Hobbies include training and reading."
"A video game every now and again slips into the mix but our private lives aren't that interesting," Hiroki joined in. Yet both new students knew that statement was a lie. Especially since they were stretching their senses across the room. They felt a presence in the room that was…in a word, dominating. It almost made them cower and flinch away but they held strong. They would have to keep watch over the individual in question.
"What kind of training?"
"The kind that would make you wonder how we're still walking," Kasane said plainly, much to the horror and or perversion of the class.
"KYAA! They've done it!" "EEEEEEHHHHHH!"
They blinked in confusion before finally realizing what they meant. They awkwardly shifted in place.
One of the guys in the class spoke up, "I've always liked a woman who can kick my ass."
Hiroki chuckled, having recovered from his state, "One brownie point to you for bravery, my good sir."
Sensei quieted the class and told them to sit in the two spots available. The two did so, while Hiroki picked up their bags and set them down. He even acted like a perfect gentleman and moved her seat out. You're overdoing it, her eyes expressed.
Well, you know exactly why I'm doing this… Hiroki couldn't fight that instinct if he tried. The times he did, he regretted it the next day. Kasane got used to this and accepted his 'advance' only further fueling the fire between them.
As if making out in front of the class like exhibitionists didn't already stoke the forge enough.
Classes progressed as normal and the duo left the room holding hands. Hiroki secretly reveled in how soft Kasane's hands were while the reverse was true—she liked the coarseness of his fingers. While the two don't seem to be in a relationship, they very much are. They just show it differently, making them an abnormal couple, in more ways than one.
As they left the class, bags in hand, they passed by two people, one having hair as red as blood and the most curious blue-green eyes. Wearing the outfit that seemed to be just a size too small, she peered inquisitively at the two before passing them. The second girl could only be described as a Yamato Nadeshiko, the perfect woman with violet eyes, and an orange hairband, keeping her hair all neat and organized despite how it seemed to defy all natural physics.
The two pairs of students knew something about the other pair was afoot, and neither would like the confrontation.
Truthfully, the redhead was curious about her new kouhai and the fact they both have the aura…no only one does but that's because… "How interesting."
"Something wrong, Buchou?"
"It's nothing, Akeno-chan, I was just thinking of our new prospects."
The redhead, Rias Gremory, walked out the door to the old school building where her clubroom was. "Those two have something…different."
"Fufufu, is there anything you want me to do?" Akeno Himejima, a third-year at Kuoh Academy, asked her best friend.
Rias shook her head, "No. For now, we observe."
Meanwhile, with the original pair, "They are onto us."
"Nope, curious. We haven't done anything to them, so they have no reason to confront us. We do need to head home. I guarantee she will glomp us on how our day was."
That was Kasane's and Hiroki's conversation as they left the Academy for the day. "By the way…" she started.
He sighed, "It was the kiss wasn't it? I knew I shouldn't have but-"
"Will you ever shut up and let me explain before you go off on one of your triads?" Kasane irritably questioned.
Hiroki raised his hands in defense, "Sorry, but I know that you don't exactly like spontaneous acts of affection…but they were eyeing you and I had to lay claim to what's mine?" It was a sentence before he trailed off into a question.
Now, this was a rare expression that came onto Kasane's face, "Oh? And what exactly do you claim to be yours?"
Pure mischief.
Hiroki was caught off-guard as a blush came to his face, "...ou…" a mumble.
"What was that?"
He coughed once before looking her in the eyes, his own in slits, "You."
Kasane already knew of his heritage and what that single claim meant, "Oh." Then she saw the hurt in his posture and gaze, and she knew she just trampled his pride. "Wait, Hirochi!" She called out his name in a more affectionate manner, seeing how he was distancing himself. She grabbed his hand and he turned with a shimmer in his eyes.
That was when she made her move and before he knew it, she was kissing him. This one felt different from the one in class or even the previous ones they've shared. This one…
…was full of love. Acceptance. A plea.
Hiroki's instincts took over and pulled Kasane close, flush to him, and returned her affection with his own. He never took her presence for granted. Something with Hiroki wanted nothing more than to-
He broke off the kiss to pull back, panting, with flushed cheeks, and tightly closed eyes. Kasane, initially confused, saw the internal battle in his posture and body language. So, she conjured something that would snap him out of his instincts-addled state, and quite possibly bring harm to herself.
Hiroki felt this and snapped out of it, grabbing her wrist, ignoring the pain in his hand from doing so. "Thank you…but please…don't do that."
"It…" Kasane panted, still feeling the absolute rush of the kiss, as there were feelings that she long thought she discarded. "...was one way of getting you out of it."
Hiroki noticed her uniform was a little disheveled and her hair, which was kept in the braid all day, was coming undone. He lovingly caressed her head as he once more fixed her hair. "Let's go home…I'm sure Mother is waiting."
"She's going to smell us on each other."
"But we never did anything except very heavy petting," Hiroki said as he breathed from his mouth. If he did breathe from his nose, he won't be able to stop himself and they both know it. They arrived at an apartment complex, around a twenty-minute walk from the Academy and the walk home was silent but not awkward. The two held hands the entire way. Once Hiroki unlocked the door, letting Kasane in, he peered out beyond the complex, narrowing his navy eyes.
The navy boy closed the door with a sigh, "We have a tail."
"I noticed, not exactly subtle."
"Not as subtle as this," Hiroki said as he activated the magic circle within the room and the two disappeared without a trace, much to the confusion and alarm of that certain tail.
The pair then appeared in Kyoto, through a magic circle given to them by their Guardian. Said Guardian watched them appear, "Ara, how was your-" the Guardian sniffed the air. "It seems you've gotten busy~."
The pair turned around only to be met with the smirking face of their Guardian who was none other than Yasaka, the nine-tailed Fox Youkai, leader of the Western Youkai Faction, mother of three, and the overseer of Kyoto's ley lines. The circumstances of how she 'adopted' both Hiroki and Kasane came from hard times.
""We have not!"" they both exclaimed.
The woman's nine tails made her look extremely beautiful and seductive if both were being honest. Two tails each peppered the two blushing adolescents, "But your bodies have the imprints of each other…" she paused, her eyes going to slits. "You almost lost control."
Hiroki flinched, "It was either that or…" Kasane looked away with guilt written on her face.
Yasaka sighed, "You two honestly need to get hitched."
""Eh?!"" the two exclaimed again, looking at each other before blushing profusely.
"You two act like a couple already, you just haven't sealed the deal," the Youkai informed matter-of-factly. The mischief in her eyes was as clear as day. The elder Youkai saw the blooming love between them. Deny it all they want, the boy's heritage will draw her to him. It already has her in his clutches and he'll be damned if he lets go. To think she found these two wandering the streets only eight years ago.
"Okaa-sama, is that onee-san and onii-san?"
Another voice brought the three out of their own little world as a smaller version of Yasaka entered the room wearing a kimono that fit her. Behind her was a single tail that matched her fur color. This was Kunou, Yasaka's daughter. The two called brother and sister smiled at the young fox girl. Kasane had a small weakness to her because of how affectionate she was with her. As a small kit, Kunou would constantly seek out Kasane for comfort. Hiroki also received a similar level of affection from her.
"Imoto, how was your day?" Kasane asked, kneeling down, opening her arms slightly. Kunou, with her adorable fox ears and swishing tail, barreled full tilt at Kasane. "Onee-san!"
The girl collided with Kasane's delightful chest, something Hiroki was only slightly jealous of but let it slide as his heritage recognizes that she is his Imoto. It may not be by blood, but sometimes bonds forged are greater than bonds inherited. "My day was super cool! I got to start training my chakra!"
Hiroki brightened at this, looking to Yasaka, "You've finally started teaching her?"
The mother of the trio nodded, "She is reaching that age and I myself will need to prepare her for the day she ascends my throne but that won't be for a century or two."
Kasane picked up Kunou, resting her head into the crook of the former's neck. Her fox ears were tickling the white-haired girl and she had to refrain from laughing. "Well, you still look like a woman in her mid-twenties."
Yasaka's eyes narrowed playfully, and then took a few steps towards Hiroki, who caught the scent of a woman on a mission. That doesn't make sense. Her tails coiled around her form, accentuating certain areas. Hiroki kept his eyes directly on hers, those golden-yellow eyes. She smirked, seeing his defiance. Kasane sighed at this, taking Kunou out of the room. The white-haired girl said not to actually do anything to him.
"It seems like you're trying to resist," she purred, her tails ensnaring his arms and thighs, making sure he couldn't leave easily, the latter pair edging close to a certain area. "You always have, which is commendable. I seriously wonder why Kasane-chan has not mated with you yet."
Hiroki's voice came out much lower than he wanted but with the 'fuck me' eyes that Yasaka is giving him, he really couldn't help it. "I believe she's apprehensive as she knows what I am and I know what she is. We…just can't."
"Have you ever heard of the saying, 'Opposites attract', Hiroki-kun?" Yasaka asked as her hand stroked his chest, her lower half slowly pressing against his. Her larger-than-average breasts were just barely touching him. He nodded. "That's what you are. Both of your Sacred Gears also help out in that case."
"I see you already knew," he said, sighing in resignation.
"I have noticed your Ki and hers for a while now. It carried the feel of a Sacred Gear. Finding you how I did was part luck and part hope," she cupped his face.
Hiroki flared his nostrils, "Was that the reason you took us in? Taught us? Trained us?"
Yasaka's tails retreated from his form, "No. I wanted to make sure Kunou-chan had someone else to rely on in the event I couldn't. Also, I was not going to leave two orphans in the streets of my city." Spoken like a true leader.
Hiroki smiled at her, his previous mood gone. He grabbed her hand, kissing the back of it, "Thank you."
"Ara, what a flirt? You know, you could always help me get Kunou a sibling~? I could call you 'Da-'"
"And with that, I'm late for training, see you, Yasaka-san!"
The nine-tailed Youkai just giggled at his departing figure, "I told you I would watch out for him but you didn't tell me that he was going to grow up handsome~."
Kasane left Kunou's room, closing the door, where she went to go find Hiroki. It wasn't hard after feeling his power out on the training floor. She entered the room and saw him in his outfit. The outfit in question was something called [G. Attire: Endless Candor]. The outfit was primarily black with blue, white, and silver accents. It fit him pretty well, almost form-fitting but was slightly baggy in the pants and sleeve areas. If he added a trench coat, he could pass off as some important lieutenant in the Yakuza. The pattern on the jacket and pants almost looked like 3D diamonds. Kasane idly observed Hiroki in his zone, practicing flips, kicks, punches, and multiple other combos.
"Are you going to join me or are you going to stare at me?" Hiroki asked without turning around. There was a reason on how he knew she was there.
"Well, I got dressed for the occasion," Kasane responded plainly. "How was Yasaka-san?"
"The usual." Aka, she tried to seduce me but I declined because as stunning as she is, there is one person I need first… is what he wanted to say.
"Hiroki-kun, I'm honestly baffled on why you don't take her up on her offer," Kasane was blunt in her words as they have had this conversation before. Despite the feeling that Kasane doesn't want to bring up—jealousy—she continued, "Do you honestly know how sought after she is?"
Hiroki scoffed, "The word is lusted, Kasane-chan." The training room had a wide floor that was perfect for sparing, some weight-lifting sections, and some meditation chambers. Perfect for Youkai, and them. "I can't because I…"
"...well?"
Hiroki sighed, "I just can't…I'm not ready."
"Is that how you're going to confess to a girl in the future, Hiroki-kun?" With a flash, she changed out of her Kuoh Academy uniform and was now in [G. Attire: Eternal Sorrow] and rushed after Hiroki. The outfit was in the same series as [Endless Candor] and looked similar too, except for the red and white accents to his blue and silver-white accents. Also, two tassel-like strips extended off of her shoulder blades, making them flutter in the wind.
The uneasy look on Hiroki's face vanished and was replaced with a feral one, "Oh? Insulting my pride as a man? That has steep consequences, my dear Kasane-chan." Her attack was useless as he grappled her and tossed her aside. She hit the ground once before adjusting herself to a crouch.
The difference between them was how they fought. Hiroki was more in line with a solid fighter while Kasane was more of a speed fighter. Kasane then brought out her weapons. Surrounded by a purple glow, multiple war fan-like blades sprouted from her back. "Well? How are you ever going to confess to any girl? What if they confess to you?"
She was taunting him and he knew it but he won't rise to the bait, not ev-
"Maybe I should ask the guy who guessed my sizes-"
The air around Kasane shimmered before the white-haired girl jumped up, sending her blades at him. Hiroki moved from his position, dodging the first two fans, the third slipped by a mere margin. The fourth blade collided with a solid object…except there wasn't one.
This is where Kasane's personality shined, where she expressed herself more. Something that doesn't happen often. Hiroki took the blade in front of him and sent it back to her, just by blowing on it.
To explain, Yasaka mentioned Sacred Gears. Both Hiroki and Kasane possess one. This is their 'Second Liberation' form. The purple glow that surrounds Kasane's war fan blades is a power called Psychokinesis. She can throw objects and or people if they are able to be held—line of sight and other such constraints. This, however, drains Kasane's ability to use her Gear. There is a mental strain depending on what she is trying to affect with her power. For Hiroki, the power of his Sacred Gear allows him to control soundwaves, frequency, and density of them, making them a solid transparent object. That was how he stopped Kasane's blade. This was called Sonokinesis.
The two continued to exchange blows as Hiroki cupped his hands over his mouth and started firing sound bullets by amplifying his vocal cords. Kasane ducked behind a meditation chamber, hearing them hit before a force pushed her to the chamber, keeping her flush to it. "What was that, Kasane-chan? You were saying?" His teasing voice angered her. He was mocking her.
The white-haired girl glared at the navy-haired boy before she smirked, "You haven't answered my question." On her outfit, a hood formed over her face, and one eye glowed red while the other was covered by the hood.
"[Balance Breaker: Psycho Brain Drive!]"
Kasane easily broke out of her sound prison and used the chamber he was sitting on and sent him flying. Hiroki jumped off it and used his power to stop it from being destroyed. Kasane leaped at the opportunity and sent him back with a punch to his chest.
"First hit goes to me," she said with a smile under the hood.
"Finally getting serious, are we? Fine."
"[Balance Breaker: Sono Brain Drive!]"
A similar hood came over Hiroki's face, except for the fact a mask covered his mouth. His eyes also glowed a similar red to Kasane's but two were visible compared to one. In order to combat Kasane from range, he would have to get a little creative. He started creating what he called 'sound grenades' before sending them to her. Kasane used her blades to cut them but Hiroki was adept in his Brain Drive. This form allowed the two of them to process the area around them, making their fight faster.
To compare, one second to them is around three seconds. While three times the speed of time sounds unreal, the boost to their brains causes them to react faster. The Balance Breaker is simple: A bug in the Sacred Gear system that is managed by Heaven. How do they know this? Their Guardian is the leader of the Western Youkai Faction…she knows this, and told it to them once they had unlocked their respective Gears.
The male condensed the sound around her, forcing the girl to struggle in place. This move looks similar to what a gravity magic user could do but Hiroki was using the natural sound waves within the training room to make her struggle to move. With that being done, Hiroki used that sound and sent Kasane flying across the room into the wall.
Thankfully, the wall was reinforced by magic, courtesy of the Youkai who like to really let loose. This is nothing compared to what some of them can do.
The hooded girl groaned as she collided with the wall, thankfully her body was slightly stronger than a normal human so she could expect soreness come tomorrow. Pulling herself from the wall, she growled, "I'm so getting you back for this."
"I will be waiting."
Annoyed, Kasane used the extra equipment laying around and started throwing it at Hiroki. Quite literally, in fact. Nothing was spared. Dumbbells, deadlift bars, weights, and machines too. She was throwing anything and everything at Hiroki. Smaller objects he dodged but bigger objects he placed a sound barrier to absorb the impact. With that, he sent those back at her.
Kasane had the more challenging job of dodging because she couldn't see a majority of his attacks. However, his normal attacks are not that powerful at range. Sound dissipates at longer distances, causing echoes in large open areas. His best form is oscillation, as that can cause severe bodily harm at the right frequency. Diffraction, Reflection, and Refraction are much more situational.
Two sound grenades got past her guard just as multiple blades cut into Hiroki. The explosion made Kasane's ears ring while Hiroki was beginning to bleed. His instincts were saying multiple things but they all had the same undertone. Make her yours.
The two dispelled their Balance Breakers, panting from exertion. They have gotten used to them but it does tax their brains, Kasane more than Hiroki. Their Sacred Gears have been with them since birth but only awakened due to certain events. "Good fight."
The two sat in the center of the training area, seeing how much damage they caused, and to be fair, it wasn't as much as the first time they unlocked their Balance Breaker. There was still a dent in the wall from it, as the best restoration magic could never erase that mess.
Still panting, Kasane rubbed her head, "Same to you…but that was new."
Smirking, "I had to learn something new to counter your obvious range advantage as you have always held the advantage over me. It's like fighting you wielding a spear, great at a distance but up close, horrible."
"Yeah…you being able to use the literal world as your playground isn't fun to fight either…" Kasane then finally noticed red on the floor, "You're bleeding!"
Hiroki smiled at her concern, "Not to worry, my healing factor will cover me. I appreciate the worry, so…do you want to go out on a date this Saturday?"
Kasane blinked, getting utter whiplash at the change in the subject but in the end, she sighed and initiated another kiss, having grabbed him by his jacket. "Baka, I thought you would never ask."
Finally. Their secret observer squealed in their mind. You'd think they wouldn't be this dense and they've kissed plenty of times already!
With that out of the way, the couple cleaned themselves up, together. Despite having seen each other in their birthday suits, they do have respect for each other. Hiroki only looked into her eyes and above the chest, while she was keeping her gaze above the belt.
Despite their oddities, they are very much attracted to one another. They just have odd ways of showing it. So, even though Kasane was leaning on Hiroki, who was running a hand down her outer thighs, they were comfortable. His wounds from his favorite person were gone, just minor welts that will go away in less than two hours.
"So, Devils, hmm?" Hiroki could tell from their energy signatures that they were Devils. Multiple groups, in fact. Kasane also sensed it as soon as they entered the Academy. The barrier is invisible and undetectable to all; unless one was supernaturally aware.
Kasane sighed, "Yes. They will most likely try to recruit us into their peerages. I'm not joining."
"I didn't say anything Kasane. I'm not giving up myself either…but that person with that gear…"
"He's in danger."
Kasane got out of the shared tub, putting a towel around her chest, "So, should we observe him?"
Hiroko followed after her, towel around his waist. "I want to say no but I have a feeling as to what, rather who, his Sacred Gear is." Kasane rose an eyebrow at him, waiting for an explanation. "I'll let you guess. Gotta have fun somehow."
The psychokinetic user rolled her eyes, "I'm going to bed…you're welcome to join."
Hiroki paused in drying off, "...I'll see you in a few then…"
"...okay…"
The two fell asleep in each other's arms that night, wondering what was going to happen this year.
"Sona, are you going to attempt to recruit them?" Rias asked her best friend and rival, Sona Sitri.
The two were in the Student Council's room, the two playing a match of chess. "I've got my eye on them, and I felt the male would be better as my [Rook] and the female my [Knight]. I still have my eight [Pawn] pieces and I plan to use some of them on my first pick. Also, check."
The violet-eyed Kaichou explained her observation of the two newest transfer students. Kasane Randall and Hiroki Kuno. They both were…interesting to the Heiress of the Sitri Pillar Family. While she and her [Queen] noted that they were at least human or half-human, they were on guard. They were aware of the Supernatural.
Rias contemplated her friend's words, "They both could work for our Peerages…but they give off the feeling that separating them is a bad idea. Koneko reported back and she said that once they entered their apartment, there was a spike in magical energy within the premises. After it died down, she no longer could sense them within the property."
"Hmm…curious. It makes me wonder how long they have been here and where they went…" it clicked in her mind, having recalled where they hailed from. "They live in Kyoto…could they have ties with…no that's not proper…but it's not illogical to think otherwise."
"Uhm, Sona?" Rias waved a hand in front of her friend, "You're doing that thing again."
The Kaichou snapped out of her thoughts, "My apologies."
A giggle from Rias, "A Yen for your thoughts?"
The Sitri Heiress sighed, "They both came from Kyoto…meaning that they are in the territory of the Western Youkai Faction. They could be spies."
"If they are…" Rias said. "Then we deal with it, efficiently. No quarter, we could even enlist them into our respective peerages."
"That could potentially anger the Youkai faction if they are not spies. This seems unusually cruel for you. Are you sure that you haven't picked up your [Queen's] sadistic tendency?" Sona asked as Rias managed to get out of check…only to fall into Sona's trap.
"I won't take chances in our territory."
Sona once more moved Rias into check, "On the topic of our peerages, did you lose interest in Hyoudou?"
"Mmh, no," the redheaded Gremory said. "I have a plan."
Sona didn't like the way her friend's eyes glittered. Since she was of a different house, she could not pry into the affairs of another house as it was taboo. She couldn't ask her elder sister because even though the sister of Sitri was in a higher position, she would feel guilty for making her waste time on such simple matters as this. Even though she knew that the magical girl would always make time for her.
Plus, if they were a part of the Youkai faction in some capacity, it would provide insight. "Checkmate, Rias."
The redhead pouted with puffed cheeks, "Aww, thought I was getting close."
"I figured out your strategy seven moves in," Sona said with a hint of smugness, as the game took only twenty-six turns, which is fast for a chess game.
Rias stood, her bust bouncing in a way that would make a man erect in seconds. "See you tomorrow, Sona. We'll monitor them together, report any oddities we find, right?"
"That's agreeable. Good night, Rias," Sona nodded to her departing friend before the flash of the House of Gremory circle flared and the redhead disappeared.
Sona sighed, laying back in her chair, biting her lip in thought. A magic circle of the Sitri House appeared by her ear. "So-tan! It's not often you call. What can the magical girl Levi-tan do for you?"
"I need some information."
So, what do you think? I hope that people found this...somewhat intriguing. I apologize for the so-so fight scene but it was meant to show off their sacred gears, which their outfits are a part of the Brain Eater Pack. Hiroki is commandeering Shiden's. The accent colors were of my own choice.
Their powers are canon to them, both Kasane in-game and my OC in-story (titled Shrouds of White) I apologize if the canon characters are in any way OOC, I'm basing them off of other authors. Why the pair seems to avoid intimacy is because they know that if they do, it will affect their already 'friends with some benefits' relationship. Yasaka is not going to be in the harem but will act as a sex coach. a MILF sex coach so...there's that.
Okay, I've probably missed something along the way but...
Harem. Who's in it? Who's not? Well, my plan for this was to be small but it also plays into Hiroki's little fetish that started with Kasane. See if you can figure out what the defining trait is. Issei will have his harem but they will be more backgroundish...maybe...so try not to steal all of his girls.
Hiroki's Harem: Kasane (Main), Rossweisse, Grayfia...(so far)
Grayfia will not be married to Sirzechs, and Millicas will have a different mother. She will still be Zech's Queen piece.
Um, see you next time?
