Chapter 2: Welcome to Kuoh

"Excuse me, sir, but would you like anything?" A flight attendant asked a lone passenger who was sitting in a First Class section seat. She was pushing a cart that had a variety of different snacks and drinks.

The passenger looked at the stewardess and answered with a charming smile, "Just a soda and one of those little packs of peanuts."

The woman blushed but gave the passenger his request, "I hope you don't mind Cola. The other passengers took most of it."

"It's alright. I'm fine with whatever." The man shrugged as he accepted a can of Cola and the little package of peanuts. "Thank you and keep up the good work."

"T-Thank you, sir." The stewardess stuttered with a blush and quickly moved on before she embarrassed herself.

The passenger looked out the window as he took a sip from his soda. From down below, he could make out the countryside of Japan and even a few small towns.

"Nearly there…" He said to himself before crimson eyes narrowed, "...and I can get started on my job."

[Hyoudou Residence]

In a regular two-story home, we find ourselves in the bedroom lined with different pictures of boy bands, magical girls, and even several novelties of notable anime characters. However, our attention is focused on a singular lump that slept upon a single person bed.

A few knocks echoed on the doorframe and a faint female voice could be heard, "Miyuki, time to get up. Come on, you don't wanna be late for school."

A feminine groan erupted from the mass of blankets and sheets beneath before the lump started to move. The blankets were pushed aside to reveal a teenage girl with long, messy light brown hair, amber eyes, well-proportioned breasts, fair skin, and a lithe figure. Dressed in only a simple loose white t-shirt and a pair of pink panties as a form of sleepwear.

This is Miyuki Hyoudou, the sole child of the Hyoudou family.

"Ugh, another day, another life-wrenching time at Kuoh Academy…" Miyuki groaned.

The Hyoudou girl got out of bed, much to her chagrin, and collected her school uniform before making her way to the bathroom to take a hot shower and clean herself up a bit for school.

A few minutes later, Miyuki stepped out of the bathroom dressed in the Kuoh Academy girl's school uniform. Her long hair was still a bit damp with water but it would eventually dry considering it was a rather sunny day. She made her way downstairs and entered the kitchen/dining room, finding her parents already there.

Mr. Hyoudou was a salary man with messy light brown hair and brown eyes with tan skin. He wore a pair of half-rimmed glasses and was in his mid-forties. Mrs. Hyoudou was a full time housewife with dark brown smooth hair that she kept tied up in a ponytail that traveled down her back. She had the same amber eyes that Miyoko had and a slightly lighter skin tone then her husband.

"About time you got up, Miyuki." Mrs. Hyoudou said with a pout on her face. "Your breakfast is gonna go cold if you slept in any longer."

"I get it, mom." Miyuki said while yawning as she sat on the opposite side of the dining table across from her parents. She clapped her hands together, "Itadakimasu…" With that said, she took her chopsticks and began to eat her breakfast.

"We have news for you." Mr. Hyoudou said with a grin. "Your cousin Hakuno is coming over next week to stay for the school year. Isn't that exciting?"

"Haaaa? Again?" Miyuki groaned.

"What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy to see her again." Mrs. Hyoudou said in confusion.

"I am but Kuoh Academy is co-ed. There's a lot of horny guys there." Miyuki told her mother. "Plus, there's the worst of the bunch, the Perverted Duo."

"Oh don't be like that. I'm sure she can take care of herself."

"You don't know Matsuda and Motohama like I do…" Miyuki deadpanned with a sweat drop.

"Well, enough of that. Finish up your breakfast or you'll be late for school."

"Hai hai…" Miyuki pouted before going on to finish up eating.

After finishing up breakfast, bidding her parents goodbye, and leaving her home, Miyuki started walking the usual path to Kuoh Academy. She passed a few citizens that were going about their business or heading to work.

"And just what kind of day will this be, I wonder?" Miyuki pondered as she looked up at the sky.

Unfortunately, her daydreaming caused her to bump into someone, causing her to fall on her butt… and accidentally exposed her panties. "Itai!"

"Whoa now, you alright there, little lady?" A masculine voice asked in accented Japanese. "Oooh, nice choice in underwear."

Realizing what the voice said, Miyuki released a cute 'eep' and quickly covered her legs, "Don't just stare at a girl's…" She paused when her amber eyes took notice of who she had bumped into.

Neck-length raven black hair. Crimson red eyes that gleamed with mischief and kindness. Skin pale like freshly fallen snow. A face that was sculpted to be both bewitching yet enticing. Overall, Miyuki could honestly say that he was the most beautiful man she'd ever met.

"Uh, you alright?" He asked, waving a hand over her face. "You're just staring at me like I've got something on my face. Wait, I don't have a booger hanging out of my nose, do I?!"

"H-Huh?" Miyuki snapped out of it. "N-No, I uh…" She trailed off. But she was too enamored by how handsome he was. 'Oh my god, he's so beautiful!'

"Well, do you… wanna get off the ground?" He pondered, holding out his hand. "A cute girl shouldn't be wallowing in the dirt."

"M-Me? C-C-Cute?" Miyuki squeaked with a blush. But then she quickly picked herself up, dusting herself off. "I-I'm fine, really! J-Just don't stare at my panties again!"

"Kinda hard not to when you're wearing a skirt that barely hides them." The young man pointed out.

"S-So? It's not my fault the school dictates what the uniform looks like!" Miyuki huffed.

"Hm? Which school is that?"

"What's it to you? You're not from around here."

Now she got a good look at him, his features reminded her of an American. Maybe a foreigner touring Japan?

"Yeah, you're right about that. I'm actually here transferring to a new school." He admitted with a cheeky grin.

"Huh? You're… a transfer?" Miyuki blinked.

"Yeah, Kuoh Academy."

"Wait, that's where I go!"

"Huh, what a coincidence." The young man smiled. "Well, mind showing me the way, ojou-chan?"

"Excuse me, my name is not ojou-chan!" She huffed, leaning over with her hands on her hips. "It's Miyuki Hyoudou! Mi-yu-ki! Got it?"

"Hai, hai, no need to get all fussy." The foreigner said with a sheepish chuckle before he placed his hands on his hips. "Well, in any case, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miyuki-chan."

"Don't get all familiar with me either! And no first name basis yet!"

"Alright, don't get so mad about it. You'll give that pretty face wrinkles sooner than later." He teased.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!" Miyuki's face was totally red and blowing steam off her ears. He wasn't beautiful at all! He was a jerk!

Kuoh Academy… The school was a prestigious one which was also the only one in the small town of Kuoh. Rumor has it that the school had an abundant number of beautiful females and also a lack of proper sense of decency. Several of the more capable teachers and students who could think properly often wondered why the faculty made the girls' uniform so short, or why the cheerleaders of the school enjoyed flashing their underwear to anyone willing to look because of their poor excuse for a skirt.

Of course the percentage that thought about these things were miniscule, it was considered unimportant. This was mostly because most of the male (and some of the female) staff and students were more than overjoyed to get their lust and perverted urges satisfied from the free and enjoyable eye-candy.

It is during this time that we find our two protagonists entering the gates of the school.

"This is a school? It looks like a mansion." The foreigner commented beside Miyuki.

"You'd be surprised when you look inside."

The young man nodded in response, "Well, care to give me the tour?" He asked his guide.

"Sure, I suppose." Miyuki said, before the two of them started walking towards the school. But as they did, they were getting all kinds of stares. Especially from the girls, some were fawning over the new guy while others were jealous or wondering how Miyuki was walking with such a handsome guy to begin with?

"You realize that people are looking at us, right?" The young man pointed out with a grin. "It almost seems like we're a couple."

"I just met you! How the hell does that qualify?!"

"Well… you were kinda lovestruck by me, so~ love at first sight?"

"In your dreams!"

"Man, you're just so easy to tease. You kinda remind me of a childhood friend of mine." He said with a wistful smile.

"I- what?" Miyuki blinked.

Crimson eyes blinked a few times before he rubbed the back of his head, "Uh, forget I said anything. Just some stuff from my past is all." He said. "There should be a faculty office, right? I kinda need to report to them to get my school uniform and all that."

"Yeah, actually." Miyuki said, as she pointed to the staircase. "Just go up and take a right, and go down the end of the hallway before turning left and it's the second door on your left. Can't miss it."

The young man smiled, "Thanks, you've been really helpful, Miyuki-san. Who knows? You might see me as a classmate." He gave the girl a two-fingered salute and marched off towards the staircase.

"Geez, what's with that guy?"

"Oho~? What do we have here?"

Miyuki felt the urge to groan and facepalm. This was the last person she wanted to see. "Aika…" She grumbled.

Approaching Miyuki is a teenage girl around her age. She wears spectacles, has gold colored eyes and lightly messy brunette hair tied into braids on each side. Like Miyuki, she also wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform.

"So, Miyuki-chan, care to tell me who that cute guy was?" Aika asked.

"He never told me his name…" Miyuki grumbled. "And why do you care?"

"Well, is it so wrong for me to scout out a new potential piece of eye candy?" Aika remarked. "Plus, I managed to get a read of his size, if you're curious."

"Geez, you're such a pervert!" Miyuki blanched. "I at least have some class!"

"That's not what you said when you were fawning over the Prince of Kuoh." Aika pointed out with a sly grin. "Still got that picture of him in his swim trunks stuck in your locker?"

"S-Shut up!" Miyuki stammered before stomping off to her homeroom.

"Ah, such an easy girl to tease." Aika said with a grin before following after the obviously blushing Hyoudou girl.

Homeroom had slowly started to get underway. Various students were either chatting or preparing their school supplies for their lessons of the day. Miyuki was no different but she found herself staring idly at the window, her thoughts drifting to that mysteriously handsome foreigner.

"Geez, what is up with me today…?" She muttered to herself. It was just a normal day until she ran into the new guy and since then, her life suddenly felt out of whack.

"Is something the matter, Hyoudou-san?" A feminine voice inquired, breaking Miyuki out of her thoughts before she noticed that the owner of the voice was one of the Two Great Onee-samas of Kuoh.

She was a beautiful young woman with white skin, blue-green eyes and has a buxom figure. Her most distinctive feature is her long beautiful crimson hair that reached down to her thighs with a single hair strand sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. And to finish off she wore the girl's uniform for the school. This woman was Rias Gremory.

"Ah, Rias-senpai." Miyuki smiled. "Sorry, I've been… sort of out of it today."

"Oh? Care to tell me why?" Rias asked with a sly grin. "Could it be a boy~?"

"Mmm…" Miyuki pouted.

"It is, isn't it."

"Mou~ Rias-senpai," Miyuki whined.

The redhead giggled, "Don't be so pouty. It's alright to be a maiden in love. Ah, if only I could meet the man of my dreams." She said with a wistful look in her eyes.

"The guy I met was a total jerk." Miyuki huffed. "He kept teasing me, he looked at my panties, and worst of all, he talks to me on a first name basis!"

"Wow, so fast in the relationship already, huh~?" Rias said with another giggle. "What's his name?"

"…I never got it…"

"Shame, I might wanna ask him myself."

A while later, the door slid open and stepping in was the class's homeroom teacher. The students returned to their seats and remained quiet.

"Good morning, class. Today is a new day and to start it off, we have a new student joining us for the school year." The teacher said. This caused murmurs amongst the classmates, wondering who it could be. Miyuki however, gawked at the announcement. There was no way! It had to be a mistake! The teacher looked to the door and called out, "You can come in now."

The door slid open and entering the room was the same foreigner who had been on her mind since she met him. He was dressed in the boys' school uniform, which strangely looked good on him. He took a piece of chalk and started writing his name in both English and Japanese before he greeted the class with a charming smile.

"Good morning, everyone. My name is Aaron Jaeger. I hope we can all become good friends during my time here." He said before bowing.

"Ahhhhhh! You!" Miyuki stood up and pointed at him accusingly. "Why are you here?!"

Aaron blinked in confusion before he pointed at the brunette in surprise, "Ahh! Miyuki-san! Wow, I was not expecting to be in your classroom."

The teacher quickly intervened, "Jaeger-san is a transfer student from America, I want all of you to make him feel welcomed." She turned to face him. "Jaeger-san, why don't you take a seat beside Gremory-san."

"Hai, sensei." Aaron nodded with a grin, which brought a spot of color to the woman's cheeks. He strolled past a few desks before sitting in the empty seat beside Rias.

"Now then… let's begin class, shall we?" The teacher said, before turning towards the chalkboard and writing.

However, while the class was focused on their lesson, Rias was staring at Aaron… a look of confusion and remembrance present on her face.

A few hours of class later, lunch period had begun and talk around the school of the new student had already begun.

The majority of the female students were questioning whether or not the American transfer was single. Some girls couldn't even speak to him without stuttering like fools or would just faint when those bewitching eyes of his struck their hearts. Overall, the new boy was shaping up to be possibly the Second Prince of Kuoh.

Speaking of Aaron, the young man was sitting up on the roof while eating a yakisoba bread that he had purchased.

"Geez, high school life sure is weird." He commented to himself. "I thought all those TV shows and movies about it were exaggerations."

"There you are!" A familiar voice caught his attention.

"Oh, Miyuki-chan, we gotta stop meeting like this. People are gonna talk." Aaron said with a smile.

"I thought I said no first name basis!"

"Hai, hai, wakatta, Hyoudou-sa~n," Aaron drew out.

"Now you're just mocking me…" Miyuki pouted.

"Sorry, it's a habit. Still, care to join me for lunch?" He patted the seat next to him. "I could use the company."

"Well…" Miyuki trailed off as she pouted. "I guess so…"

"Awesome, I got extra yakisoba bread too if you want?" Aaron reached into his bag and pulled out said treat, offering it to the brunette.

"Sure…" She mumbled as she took the bread before sitting down next to him and quietly ate her food.

"So, how's your day been?" Aaron asked, making small talk while he ate.

"Other than you, annoying me for almost half the day, fine." Miyuki said.

"Well, that's pretty cool." He said with a chuckle. "So, anything you can tell me about anything notable that goes on here?"

"Well… this school used to be an all-girls school but now it became co-ed." Miyuki said. "Plus, there are these two guys that are the most perverted out of everyone. You'd best stay away from them."

"Really? Who are they?" He asked out of curiosity.

"EEEEK!" A loud girlish shriek echoed in the air.

"God dammit…" Miyuki cursed before standing up. "I'll be back…" She said, before running off.

"H-Hey! Wait, what about… your yakisoba bread?" Aaron trailed off. However, the girl had already left, causing the crimson-eyed teen to sigh before he stood up and dusted his clothes off. "Alright, better go see what's happening."

"Matsuda! Motohama! I'm so kicking both of your asses!" Miyuki shouted as she ran towards the source of the girlish scream.

As she stopped at the source, her amber orbs took notice that it was the girl's locker room and if she remembered correctly, the Kendo Club had just finished with their practice sessions. "I knew it… MATSUDA! MOTOHAMA! YOU'RE SO DEAD!"

Miyuki wasted no time and immediately kicked the door open… and was greeted with the sight of the entire Kendo Club wearing nothing but towels while the Perverted Duo were on the ground covered in bruises.

Matsuda had a shaved head and his eyes seemed to be squinted shut. Motohama had messy dark brown hair and glasses that seemed to shine so much that his eyes were completely covered.

"Mattaku… one day… all we want is just one day without you two peeping!" Miyuki groaned with a facepalm.

"You could never understand the lengths and efforts that we have to go through in order to experience the joys of breasts!" Matsuda declared quite passionately.

"We thought you of all people would understand, Bisexual Princess!" Motohama added.

"Don't call me that!" Miyuki exclaimed with a cherry red blush on her cheeks.

*WHACK! BAM! POW! GONG! CRACK!*

And just like that, the Perverted Duo were on the receiving end of an angry Miyuki Hyoudou until they were left as nothing more than beaten up bags of meat. "Baka hentai!" She huffed, before storming off. However, when she left the locker room, she was met with the amused face of Aaron Jaeger.

"Well, that was certainly interesting." He commented. "What was all that business about 'Bisexual Princess' or whatever?"

"S-Shut up! You heard nothing!" Miyuki stammered before storming off, looking genuinely upset.

Rubbing his chin, he peeked inside the girl's locker room, "Excuse me, ladies? You don't mind if I step inside to take out the perverted trash, yes?"

*DING DONG DING DONG! DING DONG DING DONG!*

It was now the end of the school day and when after-school activities were done, everyone had started going back home. Well, all save for Miyuki, who was taking a shower by herself in the girl's locker room. It was merely a way for her to clean off the sweat from the heat but in reality, it was just so she could try and wash away that accursed name she was given. She was still visibly upset as she sat down in the fetal position sniffing every now and then. How did she get the name one might ask?

It happened during middle school after a period of gym. Miyuki was still learning much about relationships and such but when she was in the showers with several other girls, she couldn't help but be fascinated by how perky or beautiful they looked. She got so curious that she asked to kiss a girl to see how it felt then the rumors started going around. Ever since then, Miyuki was always teased about being a bisexual bimbo, which upset her so she tried to distance herself from relationships and people in general.

"*sniff* Stupid jerks… they don't know how to treat a girl…" Miyuki choked up.

"Miyuki-chan?" A familiar voice called out to her. "Are you okay in there?"

"H-Huh?" Miyuki looked up to see Rias coming in, with a towel wrapped around her body. "Rias… senpai?"

"What's wrong?" Rias asked, concerned. "How long have you been sitting there?"

Miyuki didn't say anything as she sat there in silence.

"Do you mind if I join you? You look like you could use the company." Rias offered.

Miyuki nodded in silence.

Rias removed her towel, allowing her bodacious nude body to be revealed for Miyuki to see if she wanted to. Her breasts and buttocks were slightly bigger than Miyuki's and her skin was practically perfect with no form of blemishes. She stepped under the shower head and sat beside Miyuki.

"If I had to guess, it's those two boys again with that name they gave you." Rias began.

"…yes…" Miyuki finally answered.

The redhead sighed, "Honestly, can those two be any more idiotic? Using such a debase name like that to a girl."

"They're idiots… they don't know how to treat a girl…" Miyuki sniffled.

"Hm," Rias nodded in agreement while placing a comforting hand on Miyuki's head, "Boys always have been incapable of saying the right thing. Speaking of boys, that transfer student… what do you think of him?"

"I don't want to think about him right now…" Miyuki mumbled.

Rias could only stare at the girl sadly. The Perverted Duo really upset her this time. It truly breaks her heart. But maybe… she could give the brunette the comfort she needed? "Miyuki-chan…" She spoke softly into her kouhai's ear.

"Huh? Wha- mmmph?!" Miyuki blanched in shock as she was suddenly kissed by her senpai. She could feel and taste the soft lips upon her own, a sweet tange of strawberries filled her tongue.

'Uso da… my first highschool kiss… Rias-senpai is taking it….' Miyuki thought to herself.

While the two girls shared a kiss, Rias had her hands grope one of Miyuki's breasts, playing with the perky mound. The brunette moaned softly into the kiss as she experienced a feeling she hadn't felt unless it was in her own room.

After what seemed like forever, the two gently broke the kiss. "Rias-senpai… why…?"

"Shhh, let me be a good senpai and help my kouhai forget all about those bad memories." Rias hushed the girl before claiming her lips once more in a heated kiss while her fingers trailed down Miyuki's stomach and hovered over her womanhood.

"Mhmmm!" Miyuki gasped, feeling her senior's fingers gingerly rubbing her lower entrance. "W-Wait, someone might hear us…"

"Don't worry. We'll be extra quiet." The redhead teased before she slowly pushed one finger into Miyuki's flower.

"Mmmm!" Miyuki mumbled. "Wait, senpai…" She breathed. "I… want to…"

"Hm?"

"Your pussy with mine… together…"

"Hm, I've never done that before…" Rias contemplated this then nodded. "Alright, I'll give it a try."

The next thing that happened was that Miyuki was straddled by Rias, the former draping both of her legs over the redhead's and angling her hips so that her pussy was brushing against Rias's. Both girls moaned softly at feeling their sensitive lips pressing against each other then they started to move.

The redhead and brunette girls grinned their lower lips together, moaning a little two loudly as they grabbed each other's breasts to further their own pleasure.

"Senpai… Rias-senpai…" Miyuki moaned. "Your pussy feels so good…"

"Yours too… Miyuki-chan…" Rias moaned.

They passionately kiss as they both continue to thrust their hips. Their hot, slippery pussies rubbing fiercely against each other. Rias took this chance to move Miyuki to the floor as she laid on top of her, humping her hips like a beast in heat, while Miyuki locked her legs around Rias's waist so that she wouldn't escape.

"Oh God… I feel… so hot…" Miyuki moaned, feeling her nethers moisten with need while her breasts were squished against her senpai's slightly bigger bust.

"Me too…" Rias moaned too. "Miyuki-chan… ahhh… you don't need to be ashamed…"

"Wh… ahhh, what…?"

"It's okay to like boys and girls… there's nothing wrong with that…" The redhead said as she grinded herself deeper into Miyuki's groin.

"I know, but… ahhh… ahhhh…"

"Wanna know a secret?" She leaned close to the brunette's ear and whispered, "I'm bisexual too."

"R-Really?" Miyuki asked in surprise as her voice suddenly hitched.

"Yes, so you don't have to feel like you're all alone. It's something an old friend of mine taught me." The redhead said as she planted kisses along the brunette's collar.

"Ahhhh, Rias… ahhh, Rias…" Miyuki moaned as Rias humped her faster. "Oh God, Rias… I'm gonna… I'm gonna…"

"Me too… do you want it inside?"

"W-What? Is that even-"

"They'll mix and flow. Don't worry, it'll feel like a little trickle, that's all." Rias promised.

"Please… give it to me… cum inside me!"

Rias nodded as she grinded away faster and faster before finally…

*SPLAAAASH!*

"Ikuuuuuuu!" Rias cried out in bliss as she pressed her pussy against Miyuki's as close as she could as her juices came streaming out and going into the younger girl's lower lips.

"I-It's going in! It's going in! Rias-senpai's cumming inside me!" Miyuki cried out in ecstasy.

After their orgasm passes, the two stare into each other's eyes as they panted heavily.

"Feel better?" Rias asked.

"Yeah…" Miyuki nodded slowly. "Rias… I…"

"Shhhhhhh… it's okay." Rias hushed again. "You don't have to say a word. Let's just get ourselves cleaned up and hurry on home before someone comes in here, okay?"

"R-Right…" Miyuki answered with a blush.

Aaron waited outside of the Kuoh Academy gates, keeping himself busy by looking through his cellphone. Why was he waiting, you ask? Well, because he had nothing better to do.

"Huh? You're still here?"

The American glanced back and noticed Miyuki leaving the school but he noticed that her hair was a little wet. There also seemed to be a sweet scent coming from her body.

"I had nothing better to do. Decided to just wait around before I head on home." He answered.

Miyuki rolled her eyes, "You are the weirdest American that I've ever met."

"Aren't I the only American you've ever met?" Aaron pointed out.

"Shut up…" She pouted.

"Alright, alright, look I'm sorry, okay?" Aaron placated. "And I won't pry about that… thing."

"You better not if you know what's good for you." Miyuki warned.

Rolling his eyes, Aaron stuffed his phone back into his pants and said, "Well? Shall I walk you home?"

"You don't have to…"

"I insist. Think of it as an apology for messing with ya all day. And I'll treat ya to some food while we're at it."

"Didn't you already give me yakisoba bread for free?"

"I did, but I'm a nice guy."

Miyuki looked at the boy in surprise. Honestly, she didn't know if he was playing her or not but just by looking into those crimson orbs, he seemed genuine. Plus, she didn't mind having a cute guy escorting her home. It almost made her feel like a princess. So with a tinge of pink on her cheeks, she shyly answered, "Alright… but you better be upfront with the food."

The American smiled, "Well, as long as you don't mind sweets."

"…I like sweets." she mumbled.

"Good. This way then."

"Umai~!" Miyuki squealed with joy after taking a bite from possibly the most delicious chocolate cake she had ever tasted in her life.

The quiet walk between her and Aaron took only ten minutes before they stopped at a bakery she had never heard about. Stepping in, she was immediately assailed with delectable smells ranging from pastries to cookies and even candy. It was a child's paradise for sweets!

"You like it?" Aaron asked as he sipped a cup filled with tea.

"I'm in Heaven~!" Miyuki sighed in content.

"Ahhhh, it's wonderful to hear from such a cute, sweet girl that she loves my famous sweets!" A feminine yet masculine voice said with a French accent before in steps an older man… wearing women's makeup and wearing a pink apron. Despite his distinctive Japanese features, his short hair was groomed to perfection, his brown eyes sparkling with nothing but love and joy for all, and he had one of those small, comical French mustaches.

"Philip-san, no need to embarrass the girl." Aaron told the obviously feminine man. "We all know how good your sweets can be."

"But Aaron-chan, it's always nice to hear when I've ensnared a new potential client in My Sweeties Paradise~!" Philip gestured to both himself while performing a strange pose that made it seem like he was hugging himself then looked at the sign of his bakery, which was written not only in Japanese but also in French and English.

"Okay~ we're gonna get going soon." Aaron said.

"Non! You still need to pay your tab!"

"I thought you said it was on the house!" The boy exclaimed.

"Only today! Because of her!" Philip said, pointing to Miyuki. "But the other days, nuh-uh-uh. You're paying in full."

"Oh, come on! I already work part-time here! Isn't that enough?!" Aaron whined.

"Hehehe~ someone whi~pped."

"I am not!" Aaron denied.

"Aaron-chan, working for me will not excuse the amount of sweets you've eaten in my store. So as payment… I'm docking your pay for six months." Philip said with a smile.

"WHAAAAAT!" The crimson-eyed boy comically shouted while tears trailed down his cheeks as he collapsed on his knees. "Why? Why does my life have to be so difficult…?"

"Is he always like this?" Miyuki asked quietly to the chef/owner of Sweeties Paradise.

"Quite so, yes," Philip answered with a giggle.

"Haaaaaaaa… my day just got better." Miyuki sighed in content as she and Aaron were walking, after stopping by at Sweeties Paradise.

"Glad to know you enjoy having karma biting me in the butt…" Aaron deadpanned.

"Oh, I most certainly did." Miyuki snickered.

"Uh huh… so wanna explain why you smelled like lavender before?" Aaron questioned. "You didn't smell like that when you bumped into me."

"That's none of your business…" Miyuki huffed.

Aaron looked at her for what seemed like forever before shrugging, "Alright, fine." However, his peaceful walk with the brunette came to an abrupt end when he sensed something close by. His crimson eyes narrowed as he glanced at the source, realizing that it must be supernaturally related.

"What's wrong?" Miyuki asked when she noticed the glare the boy beside her had. Honestly, it felt quite frightening to see.

His smile returning, Aaron looked back at the girl, "Ah, I just realized that I forgot to ask Philip-san something back at the bakery. Really sorry to leave you all alone but I'll see you in class tomorrow. Bye-bye!" He quickly sprinted off.

"H-Hey! You can't just leave a girl all alone!" Miyuki shouted but to no viable success. With an angry pout, she stomped her foot, "Ah mou! I knew that guy was a jerk! Bakayaro!"

While sprinting, Aaron felt guilty for leaving the girl by herself, "Sorry, Miyuki-chan… but this is more important right now." He reached into his carrying case… and pulled out a Glock. "Hopefully, I can get there in time before an unfortunate victim becomes its snack."

After a minute of running, Aaron stopped outside of an abandoned warehouse that looked just about ready to break down.

"So this is where it led me to…" Aaron said to himself. "Perfect hideout for a monster." He then cocked the gun as he slowly went inside. The place was definitely abandoned. The walls lost its colors, the air was musty and the infrastructure could possibly collapse at any moment.

"Come out, come out wherever you are~" Aaron murmured. His gun out and ready to fire at the slightest hint of movement.

What he failed to notice was that overhead, a large mass was watching him intently with an undying hunger for human flesh.

The hunter checked a corner but found nothing there. At least, nothing alive when he came across the bones of dead animals and even the half-eaten body of an unrecognizable civilian.

Checking the body, he searched for a wallet to help identify the victim but so far, nothing. The victim must have been homeless judging by the dirt on their clothing. Not only that but judging by the necrosis, they had been dead for three days.

"Fuck…" He cursed. "Sorry, I couldn't save you… but I'll take care of the beast that did this to you."

*WOOSH!*

Aaron suddenly dodge rolled to the side as something huge came swooping in. "There you are, ya fucker…"

"Mmm, you're different from my usual prey…" A seductive yet vindictive voice said, revealing the assailant to be an older woman dressed in a torn evening gown with her feet bare, her long dark blonde hair flowing in the nonexistent wind, and her forest green eyes gleaming with hunger. "But that makes me want to eat you all the most."

"Great, so what are you supposed to be? A vampire? Werewolf? One of those Japanese yokai I've been hearing about?" Aaron questioned as he kept his gun pointed at the woman. "Ah well, it doesn't matter. My job is to kill freaks like you."

"Really… well then…" The woman chuckled before her mouth suddenly opened up beyond what a human is capable of and showed rows upon rows of sharp teeth. "Show me a good time, Sugah!" Her body then contorted and cracked in so many places as it started to change form and reconstruct itself.

Aaron watched with growing unease as a massive shadow started to block out the moonlight due to the size. Then when it stopped growing, he found himself facing a massive abomination that looked like the love child between a tarantula, a cobra, and trout. "Well… that is the ugliest and scariest fucking thing I have ever seen in my entire life." He admitted loudly.

"By the time I'm done with you, I'll be picking off my teeth with your bones!" The monster shrieked before lunging at him.

"Shit!" Aaron quickly rolled out of the way, avoiding the large mouth that threatened to swallow him whole. He quickly took aim and fired the silver bullets at the creature but they only seemed to bounce off its hide. "Oh… I'm in trouble now."

"Well, well, an exorcist I see. This will be a treat for me after all."

"Bitch, do I look like a priest?!" He countered before yelping a bit as he jumped away from another attempt at trying to eat him.

"Regardless of what you are, you'll end up in the same place as the others!"

"Back home and sipping a soda?" Aaron pondered.

"IN MY STOMACH!" She shrieked before lunging at him and this time she managed to get a decent chunk of his flesh.

"Gahhh! You bitch!" He snarled in pain after losing part of his hip. He took aim at the only viable weak point he could see and…

*BANG! BANG! BANG!*

"AAAAHHHHHH! MY EYE!" The monster shrieked in pain when the silver bullets destroyed the fleshy exterior of her left eye.

"Choke on that, ugly! No one bites me without getting bitten back!"

"RAAAAAAAGH! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!"

"Like I give a shit about what you think!" Aaron snapped as he fired more bullets as he tried to move away as quickly as possible. However, the strain of moving mixed with the blood loss he had streaming down his wound was beginning to hamper his movements. 'Dammit… losing too much blood. That bite took more out of me then I thought. I gotta retreat or blow this bitch to smithereens.'

Before his senses caught up to him, a thrashing tail smacked right into his back, sending the boy flying and slamming into a wall with an audible crack as a small pool of blood began to form. "Okay… I definitely broke something… or everything…" Aaron groaned in silent agony.

"Hehehehehe… now I got you…" The she-monster growled with gnawing hunger as she stalked over to the injured hunter.

"Gotta get up… can't… can't die here…" Aaron gritted his teeth as he tried to force his body to move but only succeeded in collapsing on his front while the contents of his bag spilled out, including the sealed case he carried with him.

"It was fun while it lasted, boy. But playtime is over." The monster taunted Aaron as her massive jaws hovered over his form. "Itadakimasu~"

"I won't…" Crimson eyes stared at impending death with unrelenting anger while a golden glow began to shine within the cracks of the sealed case. "I won't die like this!"

Just then a magic circle glowed beneath him, causing the she-monster to back off.

"What?! What is this?!" She demanded.

Like a puppet on strings, Aaron's body began to rise of its own accord as the wounds he received started to rapidly heal while the seal on the case shattered to reveal its contents, an intricate silver and dark blue high-tech hand cannon with golden accents and a deck of cards that shimmered with a golden light. The gun and one of the cards flew towards the boy, which he caught in both hands. The barrel of the gun suddenly flipped down, revealing a hidden slot that Aaron placed the card in then swung up to flip the barrel back into place.

"Card Set and Loaded…" He muttered before aiming the gun at the she-monster. "Guardian of the Holy Balance, I evoke you. Slash my enemies to ribbons." Red markings appeared on Aaron's cheeks, which glowed with an unnatural light. With a pull of the trigger, the circle beneath his feet moved to the barrel of the gun and from out of it, a figure emerged. "Come forth, Servant Saber!"

The light surrounding the figure faded to nothing, revealing their form to the world as they stood proud and strong. The Servant was a young woman with white skin with silver-like eyes, silver hair that has a long bang on her right side while her back hair was tied up with a special hairpin. She was wearing a custom-made kimono that exposed a bit of cleavage with the main colors being red and blue. Strapped to her waist were four sheaths, each of which held a katana that seemed to radiate an aura of its own color; green, blue, yellow, and red.

The woman had a bright grin on her face, "Shinmen Musashi-no-Kami Fujiwara-no-Harunob…!? Sorry, let me start over! Servant Saber, Shinmen Musashi at your service! Make my stay a fun one, Master!"

Aaron blinked once. Then twice. Was he seeing things? "Musashi? Musashi Miyamato?"

"That's my name, nice to meet ya, Master!" Saber said with a toothy grin.

The young man could feel his brain shutdown and try to restart but it failed. "Yep, it's official, I've gone crazy."

"Oh c'mon, I'm the real deal!"

"Musashi was a man, not a drop dead gorgeous woman with a Kansai dialect." Aaron deadpanned.

"D-Don't say such an embarrassing thing, Master!" Saber said with a blushing face after being referred to as 'gorgeous'.

"Eh? Why not? It's the truth, isn't it?" The American rubbed the back of his head. He then felt a burning sensation on the back of his left hand, making him wince in pain before noticing a red mark on it. "My… Command Seals…" He had read up about these during his brief time in the Clock Tower. Absolute Order sigils that can be used to bind a Heroic Spirit to perform any task that the Master orders them to do. It can even be used to empower a Servant but it would use up all three of the markings. "Alright then… Saber, ready to put this beast in the ground?" He asked his Servant while aiming the hand cannon in his grip at the monster.

"You got it, Master!" Musashi grinned predatorily, readying her two katanas. "Just say the word, and I'll get to slicing and dicing."

Aaron grinned, "Let's go, Saber!" He shouted, pulling the trigger as the gun fired what could only be described as energy bullets. The bullets struck the monster's skin and actually caused damage as evident by the scorched flesh and the splashes of blood that sprayed out from the injuries. The monster shrieked in pain and started thrashing its abominable body.

"That weapon! It's not a normal gun! What Sacred Gear do you possess, you bastard!"

"Looks like you're catching on." Aaron smirked. "But you're only half right."

"What?!"

"This gun is a Sacred Gear yet not a Sacred Gear at the same time. It's a man-made Gear. This is Artificial Gear… Grail." Aaron explained as he fired more mana bullets at the monster. "Saber, start slicing."

"Hai, Master!" Musashi exclaimed as she leaped at the monster and started slashing with her swords. Normally, a regular sword wielded by a human would be unable to pierce the monster's hide. But Musashi was no regular human. She is a Heroic Spirit, a being that transcended the limits of humanity to become a powerful figurehead in history. So when she swung her katana, her spiritual nature carved deep into the beast's abnormal flesh.

"EYAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGH!"

Aaron's smirk turned particularly bloodthirsty as he watched his Servant tear the creature a new one. He wasn't a sadist at heart or in general but he always found it enjoyable to kill monsters that believed themselves superior to those weaker than them. However, he noticed a particular detail in the way Musashi was attacking…

"Saber, stop playing around. I kinda want this to end so I can go home and get some sleep." He told the samurai girl.

Landing on the ground, Musashi gave her Master a cute pout, "Mou, can't I have another minute?"

"No." He said. "Well, Saber, care to show this freak a Heroic Spirit's true worth as humanity's finest?"

A rush of magical energy filled Musashi's Spirit Core. Despite her brief disappointment, the samurai would acknowledge her Master's order.

"Understood." Her silvery eyes glared coldly at the monster as it stumbled around with its bleeding body. She sheathed her swords as a rainbow aura surrounded her figure. "Amen. I place my trust in Tenjin of the Tenman Shrine, deity of absolute freedom."

Appearing above her was a large living statue of a Nioh guardian that wielded four swords in its four-armed hands.

When she opened her eyes, she spoke, "Nioh Kurikara, Shotenshou!" The guardian sped towards the monster then it slashed with all four swords, causing pieces of flesh to flail off. However, Musashi was far from finished as she drew her katana and brought it to bear, the blade engulfed in a brilliant pink light. "Let's go, master's blade draw… Ishana Daitenshou!" She called out as she swung down her blade so fast that the beast could not dodge or counter in time. Another detail to know about Musashi's Noble Phantasm… was that it removed any form of enhancements that a supernatural body could have. So the moment that the Servant's sword struck, the abomination could not withstand it and was immediately cut in half.

"This… can't…"

The she-monster's flesh started to slowly split itself apart. The flesh connecting the two halves tried to keep it together, but even they couldn't hold it in and eventually had to let go, causing the two halves to fall apart.

With the creature apparently dead, Aaron approached Musashi, who had swung her sword to rid it of any excess blood that clung to its surface and returned the blade to its resting place. "Gotta say, I heard Servants were strong but you've practically blown my mind." He complimented the Saber.

"Hehe, thanks Master. Although, I wished I could've had more fun." Musashi pouted.

"Ah, don't worry," He said nonchalantly while patting the samurai's shoulder, "There's always another monster around the corner. Come on, time to go home." Recovering his bag and collecting the deck of cards that spilled out of the unlocked case, Aaron pockets Grail and starts to leave the warehouse with Musashi dutifully following after her Master.

However, what the duo failed to realize was that their entire fight was being watched. The observer taking a particular interest in the boy before they left the scene…

...and leaving a trail of black feathers.

A/N: And that shall be the end of the chapter! I was planning on releasing this the day before the poll ended but it's a good thing I managed to finish.

Special thanks to KR Duelist for proof-reading and editing this chapter.

And in case you're wondering as to how Aaron acquired Artificial Gear: Grail, that will be revealed in time. But here's just a few basics about it, it can be used just like any firearm but it fires mana bullets, which are directly fed from a user's own reserves of magic. It can also summon a Heroic Spirit as long as the user has a Servant Card (ie: Class Card), which helps channel Grail's power. There's also a secret to this Gear as well as Aaron's ability to summon Servants thanks to it but like I said, that will be revealed in time.
