Kaito Hyoudou was a lot of things. The younger twin brother of the Sekiryuutei, Issei Hyoudou; not that either of them knew that. The Scourge of Kuoh Academy, seen as the worst form a person can take by many students. And currently one of the things he was, was dying. Lying, gasping, on his back beside a fountain with a whole torn straight through his chest and leaking blood at an alarming rate. Numbly, he lifted an arm and reached out to his brother as the other teen fell to his knees and hit the ground with an injury almost identical to Kaito's.

The younger teen felt a wave of crushing guilt wash through him. Feeling so useless, lying on the ground and barely able to move as his brother died only a few meters away. He had thought that shoving his brother out of the way of that weird spear would save him…but, in the end, all it did was give Issei a few extra seconds.

And so it was with a falling spirit, lying in a puddle of his life-giving blood, and watching a similar fate befall his sibling as a few black feathers rained down on them that Kaito began to close his eyes. The last thing he registered was a bright red flash of light coming from his brother.

Things had been looking up until that point, at least for Issei. He had been asked out by a very attractive girl and had done pretty well on his recent Japanese test. Kaito himself had aced his test, though that was no surprise considering he always aced his tests, though his love life had seemed to go in nearly the opposite direction to his brothers.

The other day Issei and his two friends had been peeping and were found out. Luckily for them, none of the three were specifically seen, but they had booked it like they had been recognized anyways. Causing the Kendo club to chase after them, and in typical Kaito luck (Otherwise known as rolling a '1' on every encounter) the three had rushed past him, disappearing around a corner right before the kendo club rounded the corner and saw the school's resident "Super Pervert". With extreme efficiency, the club had him surrounded and was whacking him with hard wooden bokken while screaming profanities for peeping at them. Kaito, for his own safety, was trying to avoid as many of the painful strikes as possible. Dodging, weaving and stumbling around like a drunken bee while yelping in pain every time he got struck.

Eventually, they had left, leaving the teen a massive pile of bruises and scrapes, making every movement painful and arduous. Anger smoldered behind his brown eyes and his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned a pure white. Of course, by the time he had gotten home he had calmed down, mostly. Though, upon seeing the state that his brother was in Issei had freaked out.

"Holy crap! Was this from the Kendo club!? Shit, Kaito I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were in that direction! Oh crap, I can't believe it happened again!" Issei said quickly, flinging cupboard doors open and searching for their medical supplies.

"The second cupboard from the right" Kaito groaned while collapsing bonelessly onto one of the stools by the island in the middle of the kitchen.

"Thanks!" Issei had said while quickly grabbing it out and letting Kaito patch himself back up.

"You want me to follow Issei on his date and get photos?" Kaito asked his parents in surprise while holding his phone.

"Of course! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! You're a nice, sweet boy but Issei.." Their mother trailed off.

"He's hopeless!" His father butted in.

"Anyway!" Their mother said, slapping her husband over the head "As many photos as possible, please! We want enough to last a lifetime!"

Kaito sighed and slumped over while shuffling out of the house.

'Why me!?' He thought before going to where he heard Issei saying the meetup place was for his date.

He proceeded to follow them through their date pretty damn well in his own opinion. His general lack of 'presence' made such a task pretty easy to accomplish. His shy demeanor and his…..unpopular social status had taught him how to weave through a crowd with astonishing grace and subtly (for a non-supernatural human anyways). Regretfully taking as many photos as he could, eventually leading him to kneel in a bush with his camera poised for the 'end of date kiss' and his eyes not straying from the scene.

And it was for these exact reasons that Kaito caught and was able to react to the girl's startling transformation. Running to the side and shoulder-tackling his brother to the side right before a searing pain emanated from his chest. His brown eyes looking down and widened in horror as he saw the thick spear impaled in him. Only for it to disappear and suddenly take all his energy as well while a veritable waterfall of blood left his chest. Kaito stumbled backward and his legs buckled. Sending him crashing to the ground, unable to even speak thanks to the spear having taken out forty percent of his lungs. He turned his head with great difficulty and watched his brother get impaled, reaching an arm out.

The first thing Kaito noticed upon waking backup was the distinct wrongness that filled every inch of his body. He was almost determined to label the strange and horrifying memory as a nightmare but something deep, primal, within him said that there was something wrong. On instinct, he categorized everything he could sense.

He wasn't quite sure when he had begun this particular habit in the morning. Nor why he had begun this habit. But it did him no harm and he had managed to avoid quite a few pranks and nasty surprises over the years so he had never made any attempt to curb it. Though now it leads to warning alarms going off inside his head and his adrenal glands to kick into high gear.

'There's someone on me! Someone's in my bed!' He thought In a blind panic.

From his position on his stomach, he placed a hand down on his bed and used it to push himself sideways out of his bed. Except with strength, he didn't know he had and had never had before this moment, he sent himself launching into his wall. Luckily not hitting his desk or bookshelf but giving himself quite a shock as his ears rang from the sound and he slowly picked himself up from the floor.

"Ara ara~ Aren't you a lively one in the mornings?~" Kaito froze and took the time to notice who was lying in bed. A sinking feeling filling his core.

His brown eyes rolled up to look at his bed as he sat upright. Meeting the mischievous purple eyes of the one and only Akeno Himejima. Instantly he froze as several questions whizzed to the forefront of his mind with the speed of a bullet train.

"You- I- Why- Huh?" He stuttered in confusion. Suddenly very aware that both of them were naked and grabbing a spare blanket from under his bed in the blink of an eye.

Akeno herself was lying on his bed, having now positioned herself so both of her elbows were propping her upper body up, squeezing her very large breasts together and cupping her cheeks in her hands as her gaze rolled up and down his form. A hint of…something, flashing through her eyes. An emotion that was so foreign to Kaito that he couldn't even begin to place it.

He sat cross-legged on his floor, his blanket wrapped around him and covering every inch of him apart from his face. Even wrapped over his spiky brown hair in a makeshift hood, flattening a few of his curled spikes over and making them hang over his eyes which were quickly averted from her form in favor of staring at his lap.

"You were very gentle last night~ Don't worry~" She huskily whispered. Making him simultaneously pale and blush.

"W-why would you j-joke about that?" Now it was Akeno's turn, not having expected such a reaction.

"Pardon me?"

"It's not even believable…" His eyes flickered to her and she saw so much anger before they flickered away just as quickly, "I don't know how you got in ...Probably my brother. But all this just to tease me…make fun of me. Is what you do at school, not enough?" Akeno blinked in shock, her mind grinding through his words at rapid speeds and trying to throw together a response in the face of so much anger "I guess you're the benevolent princess to everyone except the school reject….I'm going for a shower" He growled, standing up, his blanket flowing down to his ankles and covering him as he stormed out of his room.

Akeno stared at the door for a few seconds before her brain finally rebooted, making her sit up while continuing to stare at the door. Her mind replaying his words over and over. She ground through their meanings and frowned slightly, looking over at his phone on his bedside table and seeing the time.

6:13 AM

Realizing how early it was she allowed herself to slowly go through her thoughts. Her frown becoming slightly more pronounced as a few conclusions reached her mind.

"So he's much more pessimistic than expected. apparently, his treatment at school is much worse than Buchou thought." She muttered to herself.

Eventually, he came back into his room, visibly much calmer than when he left. Still covered in his blanket but now with droplets in his hair. Both of them giving him an almost innocent, adorable aura that made Akeno want to coo.

"I'm sorry. I-I snapped at you without hearing your side of the story ...I apologize." She blinked in surprise once more and held her arms under her chest, pushing it up more.

"It's fine…I didn't think through my words fully either. I also apologize for making you think I was being cruel or mean with my words" She said sincerely, not playing to any sort of act or personality quirk for a moment.

"A-apology accepted." He nervously looked at the floor, trying to avoid looking at her.

"Though my little kohai looks socuteright now~" She finally cooed, making him turn blood red and retreat into his blanket shyly.

A muffled strangling sound left the blanket and made Akeno smile softly/lustfully as her cheeks momentarily heated up at his anguish.

"Could you come out for a moment, please? I do have something genuinely serious to discuss with you"

Kaito slowly poked his head back out of his blanket before nodding and looking at her face, his eyes unwavering. Quite an impressive feat in Akeno's books and already placed him quite high on her list of memorable people.

"Do you remember yesterday? The…incident, with your brother's little girlfriend" Kaito, raised an eyebrow at the venom in her words before slowly nodding.

"Yeah ...and then they went to the fountain and... blood"

"…Indeed. Would you like to know how you survived, and without a scar nonetheless?~" She proudly tittered.

"So it did happen?" He whispered, unhearable for a regular person but the purple-eyed beauty was easily able to hear it.

"It did. You were resurrected. Plain and simple~"

"R-resurrected? Like back from the dead?"

"Exactly~" She cheered with a quaint clap of the hands "Buchou resurrected you and your brother both. But unfortunately had to take your humanity to do so"

"Excuse me?"

"Buchou is from a supernatural race known as 'Devils'. I was also turned into a Devil. And now so are you~" Two black, leathery, wings popped out of her back and spread wide, his eyes widening at the sight of them.

"W-wings!?"

"Yep~ Along with enhanced abilities and magic~"

"Like actual, real, magic? Not like, rabbit from hat magic?" He asked skeptically.

"Of course" She hummed, holding a hand up and creating a small sparkle of electricity around her fingers.

His eyes widened and he leaned forward slightly, his attention fully caught on the sight before him, once again completely ignoring her body even as he leaned closer. Yet again another first for her. And suddenly the lightning disappeared, making him jolt back in surprise and whine slightly in disappointment.

"Do you mind if I use your shower?~"

"O-oh! Ummm. O-of course not. J-just the room across from mine." He shyly mumbled.

"Want to join me?~" She teased while accentuating her curves, not that he saw with his head turned to the floor.

"I-I'm good thanks!"

"A shame~ Thank you, though~" She got up and softly walked out of his room and into the bathroom.

Kaito felt a shuddering breath escaped his lips as he stood up and got dressed in casual clothes. Taking the moment to once again organize his thoughts and calm down. Looking over his eye caught his computer screen and looking back at his clock he figured he had enough time before school that he could play some games to help calm down. Akeno leaving his mind for the first moment since he woke up.
