"Ughhhhhh! I feel fucking exhausted…." Were the first words out of Kaito's mouth, still half-asleep and not even realizing the difference to how he usually slept.
"That happens when you nearly die Kaito-kun" A seductive, feminine voice, mumbled tiredly from his chest.
"Stupid Church fucke-eerrrrrrrr?!" His voice picked up in pitch as he woke up more and looked down, seeing the sleepy face of Akeno as she looked up at him.
Giving him a tired but seductive smile she shifted her body to press her sizable "assets" further against him and rested her chin on his right pectoral. His blanket resting on top of her head and giving her half-lidded eyes a small exaggeration in the slight shadows. Her entire aura screaming 'tired-but-still-drop-dead-sexy' as she gave him a sleepy smile.
"The church on your first mission?..." She gave a cute little yawn "What a bad…boy~"
"Guh.." His slight flinch and gulp was immediately noticed by Akeno "Not like I went looking for the fucker…"
"Why don't you.." She took a moment to stretch her legs, rubbing them along him as she did so "Tell me what happened?"
Kaito was entirely too tired for this shit.

Five minutes later
"-Then I passed out. No idea what happened to him" Kaito shrugged, now sitting on the edge of the bed in his underwear as Akeno looked over his body, a blanket wrapped around her voluptuous form.
"I outdid myself. No scars…..A shame we couldn't have any 'fun' last night" She teased him, hugging his arm.
Unfortunately said teasing led to him immediately slipping his arm out of her grasp.
"There it is…" It was muttered under his breath but Akeno still heard it, frowning as he put some pants on and walked out of his room, left to ponder over his behaviour.
Meanwhile Kaito walked into the bathroom and turned the tap on, letting it run for a few moments before cupping his hands to collect some and splashing his face before rubbing it with his hands. Hearing someone walking up to him he dragged his hands down his face prepared to possibly deal with Akeno again, only to see the tired looking face of Issei.
"You look like shit.." He muttered as he grabbed his own toothbrush.
"I had to deal with a buff ass dude that wanted me to turn him into a magical girl, fuck off" Issei groaned as he grabbed his own toothbrush, both of them beginning to brush their teeth.
The both of them stood in silence for a moment before simultaneously spitting the toothpaste out and beginning to wash their mouths out.
"Sho why do wou-" Issei spat out the water he had in his mouth "-Look like hell?"
"Nearly died. Again. Had to have Himejima heal me"
"Akeno-senpai? You mean you had her big melons rubbing up against-" His perverted spiel was cut off by Kaito slapping a hand over his mouth.
"Nearly. Died." Issei seemed to wilt after those words.
"Yeah. Priorities. But man, I've felt Buchou's tits but I wanna feel Akeno's too" Issei whined while his brother groaned and let his forehead crack against the mirror "Holy crap! Are you ok?"
"Physically or mentally?"
"…Yeah you're fine"
"Get fucked pervert"
"At least I show my appreciation, you just hide it like a prude" his older brother teased him.
"Cause I'm the 'scourge' remember? Speaking of. If your friends frame me today I'm breaking bones"
"Ah….hah..haha. P-Please don't do that?" All he got was a side-eyed glare "L-Look I'll talk to them ok? Just please don't hospitalize my friends?"
"My threat still stands" Kaito said ominously while walking back to his room, getting a gulp from Issei as he watched the door close.

"Hmm. Himejima?"
"Ohhh, don't be so cold Kaito-kun~ I thought we were closer after sleeping together" Akeno purred, holding her elbow with one hand and her cheek with the other.
"Either quit the act or be quieter before you cause more problems for me" Kaito said stoically, not looking at the girl that his brother was ogling quite openly.
"So worried Kaito-kun. Don't tell me the younger Hyoudou needs me to protect him?~" Despite his ogling, Issei couldn't help but fuck with his little brother.
"He does! Please protect him all the ti- GRRK!" Issei was suddenly being choked by his brother as Kaito had an arm around his neck.
Akeno couldn't help but blush slightly at the sight, shifting her weight from foot to foot as she watched Kaito choke Issei for a few seconds before letting him go, the eldest Hyoudou child thankfully taking deep breaths.
"Damn, vindictive bastard. Alright I get it….But what's that hanging from your hip? Looks like some demented lightsaber?" Issei asked, dragging Akeno's rapidly devolving thought process along with it.
"Your corrupted Light Sword?" She questioned, getting Kaito to click his fingers and point at her again.
"That's right. What I was going to say. Can you teach me how to use Magic?"
"….I can't believe you'd flaunt that right in front of me" Issei muttered dejectedly, remembering why he couldn't teleport last night.
"Git gud scrub"
"Teach you Magic? And you think I'm a good teacher?" Akeno asked, clasping her hands behind her back and taking a step closer to Kaito as they began to walk again.
"Well it's not like I exactly know any others. And you explained things pretty well yesterday. I just….need to get stronger" He murmured at the end, staring at his fist as he clenched and unclenched it.
"Hmmm" Akeno's purple eyes seemed to roam over his form for a few moments "Of course Kaito-kun. What sort of upperclassman would I be if I didn't help my cute Kouhai?~"
"Lucky bastard!" Issei yelled, practically crying as the school gates came into view, and Kaito disappeared once again.
'You think you can just run away from me whenever you please Kaito? Ok then, I can play too' Akeno thought to herself, swearing up, down and sideways that her Fallen Angel half had nothing to do with the pang of annoyance she felt.
It did, she was hot and practically royalty within the school. She didn't just get ditched twice in a row.

During lunch, Kuoh Academy
"Where's The Scourge?!"
"I'm gonna murder him!"
"I dunno guys he was talking to Matsuda and Motohama about framing him this mor-" One girl tried to helpfully point out, only to get overshadowed by the yelling from the other girls.
"TO THE ROOF!"
If nothing else, Akeno thought as she followed the group from a distance, they were good at finding her prey. Coming up the stairs about a half-minute after the Kendo club she saw them surrounding Kaito in a circle as he stood, glaring at the club leader.
"Why do you keep sending them after us you disgusting per-"
"Shut up!" He roared in anger, making the girls mouth click closed on instinct "Fuck! So many of you are supposed to be fucking smart but two perverts trying to avoid a beating tell you something and you believe it without even stopping to think!? I'm done! I'm fucking done!" He growled, his eyes seeming to glow for the briefest of moments.
'Here we fucking go! Take them all out!' The voice spoke to Kaito again, a demonic whisper in his ear that he wasn't exactly willing to disobey at the moment.
"If you take a step towards me I'm gonna snap those sticks you're so proud of over your damn heads and then I'm breaking those perverts legs!" A few of the girls actually stepped back at the sheer fury in his voice.
However not all of them were so easily frightened…or as smart.
"Stop lying Scourge!" The girl, a cute brunette with her hair done up in a ponytail, charged at Kaito with her Shinai raised above her head.
Akeno knew she should put a stop to this. She knew that Rias would probably get annoyed with her if it went too far. But the sheer thought of seeing Kaito going against the Kendo club was far too enticing to give up.
To Kaito, the swing was slow and sloppy compared to his opponent from the night before. But he also couldn't use obvious magic against this girl so he supposed it evened out as he dodged the overhead swipe and grabbed the 'blade' of the Shinai before ripping it out of the girl's hand. Keeping true to his promise to the club he gripped the handle and swung the bamboo blade around, cracking it over the girl's head. Said girl being forced to follow through with the momentum and stumble into one of her friends as the world spun for a couple moments and her ears rang from the force of the blow. But nothing serious.
Kaito meanwhile was left standing in the middle of the circle with only his newly acquired Shinai, glaring back up at the club.
"Fucking try me you gullible assholes" He snarled, soon having to deal with a lot more than one girl at a time.
'That almost looks like…Well what do you know. He's learning as he fights' Akeno thought with a satisfied grin, however a pulse of magic let her know that this fight was about to go to the point of more than bruises and sprains.
"Oh Kaito-Kun?" She called out as she pretended to have just gotten to the top of the stairs, making everyone stop fighting.
With a huff Kaito let go of the arm of the girl he had grabbed so that he could pull her in, letting her slip and hit the ground with a yelp as the other girls began to speak up.
"Akeno-sama! Stay back! He's gone insa-"
"Kaito-kun. Why were you fighting?" Akeno said, giving him a cutesy pout as she hugged his arm to his chest.
Despite his anger, Kaito couldn't help but internally cackle at the complete look of shock and confusion that froze the entire Kendo club in their places.
"Let go of me Himejima. I'm sick of being fucking accused and attacked" He growled and glared at the girls who tensed up in preparation.
"Now now Kaito-kun. I know they've been mean to you but I made a special lunch just for you and it's going to waste" Kaito actually did a double-take, finally looking down at her.
"What the fuck are you talking about you-"
"Please Kaito-kun?"
"I would appreciate you stop toying with me Himejima and let me bash these girls' skulls in!" He snapped, making many of them flinch once again.
"Akeno-sama get away! The Scourge will hurt you too!" One girl cried out, and all hell broke loose.
In seconds Akeno was doing all she could to hold Kaito back while still pretending to be a regular human as he tugged and pulled and swiped at anything nearby. Practically frothing at the mouth for blood and injuries.
"Fuck you! You stupid fucking whores! You wouldn't know a real criminal if he fucking stabbed you in the gut because you'd be too busy blaming the guy across the street you retarded, brain-dead, two-faced pieces oF SHI-MFGGHGHGH" Akeno managed to cover his mouth with one of her hands while holding him back, but not very well considering his thrashing.
And for the first time, the majority of the kendo club stopped. They stopped talking, stopped glaring, and they listened. They watched. They took in the sight of a teen, a schoolmate, who had snapped. Who had been pushed so far to the edge that he had given up and willingly thrown himself over the edge just for the opportunity to give them a taste of their own medicine.
"Kaito-kun I think these girls have learned their lesson. Haven't you girls?" Akeno asked sweetly, getting mute, limp nods from the majority of them "Maybe you should apologise Kaito-kun? These poor girls were tricked by those perverts after all" She cooed, moving her hand from his mouth and hugging his arm tighter, going all in with the 'concerned friend/girlfriend' routine.
However the widening of his eyes and the gleam that went through them sent a shiver through her body that left her knees ever so slightly weak.
"The perverts…" He whispered, his voice soft but carrying an undercurrent of malice so thick that it nearly made some of the non-supernatural girls faint.
Holding the Shinai limply, the tip of it dragging against the roof he began to stalk towards the door, dragging Akeno for a few steps before managing to wrench his spare arm free.
"H-he's going to kill them…" Murayama, the captain of the club, mumbled.
"Oh dear…..Excuse me girls but I really must calm him down before-"
"Get back here you rat bastards!" The scream echoed from the courtyard.
"That happens. Pleasant day to you all" Akeno commented, still playing up her princess act before power walking down the stairs, beginning to get a bit worried about both the perverts physical health.
And Kaito's mental health.

Occult Research Clubhouse, ten minutes later
"Despite knowing you were lying. I feel annoyed that there's no lunch" Kaito grumbled, having been convinced by Akeno to abandon his crusade through the school.
"I'll be sure to remember that next time Kaito-kun" Akeno giggled, getting a scoff that instantly miffed her.
"Uh huh. Next time. I'm thrilled." He rolled his eyes as he said this, leaning his head over the back of the couch as he heard the doors to the clubroom open.
Walking into the club, with his regular poise and elegance was Kiba. The smaller form of Koneko following behind him and sitting on the couch opposite of Kaito. As Kiba walked past the couch Kaito felt the metaphorical lightbulb in his head go off. Snapping his head upright and bolting off the couch.
"Hey, Prince. You're good with blades right?" He asked suddenly, catching everyone's attention as they looked over at him.
"I am a swordsman, yes. It's the reason Buchou made me a Knight after all" Kiba replied with a closed eye smile and a nod.
"Cool. I was wondering if you could teach me to use a sword?" Kaito asked, suddenly plunging the room into a tense atmosphere as Kiba opened his eyes in surprise.
"Why? So you can attack people randomly like a Stray again?" Koneko snarked at him, getting a side-eyed glare from the younger Hyoudou.
"Don't speak of issues you know nothing about"
Quick to move between them, Kiba shook his arms slightly and smiled disarmingly.
"Of course I would teach you to use a blade Kaito. But what brought this on?" He asked, getting a narrow eyed look up and down his form.
"It can't hurt to answer his question right Kaito-kun?" Akeno tried to placate him, getting a slightly less intense side-glare from him before he let out a slightly aggravated sigh and from inside his school blazer he pulled out the handle of his new Shadow Blade and ignited it.
Instantly Kiba and Koneko flinched upon seeing the handle. Koneko, already preparing to launch herself at Kaito should it be needed, only to falter as the blade ignited and instead of poisonous light came the darkest of shadows. The blade seeming to drag in all surrounding light, yet amongst the black of the blade was swirling purple that gave it just the slightest bit of depth to the naked eye.
"Priest Blade." Koneko growled, her fists tightening.
"A corrupted one? Where did you find such a thing?" Kiba asked, his initial tensing and rising anger upon seeing the handle merely a fleeting moment upon seeing what had become of the Church's prized mass-produced weapon.
"Around." Kaito answered vaguely, turning it off and slipping it back into his blazer.
"Oh surely you can tell them Kaito-kun? Or are you nervous how they'll react once they hear the story? I can tell them in your stead?" Akeno suggested, licking her lips sadistically at the end.
His gaze was levelled on her once again. Not an ounce of magic power circulating through his body at the moment yet the feeling of his eyes piercing into her created a feeling of a heavy blanket covering her. Something impossible to ignore but not so heavy or oppressive that it garnered a physical, visceral reaction from the Queen. But apart from the strange pressure, the part that hit her the hardest was the swirling disappointment and anger held within his brown orbs.
The tense atmosphere was suddenly cut off by a knock and the door to the clubroom slowly opening to show the head of a male peeking into the room. With grey eyes and short, ever so slightly curly blonde hair that tipped towards the ground slightly due to gravity. A member of the Student Council, Kaito recognised, but what his name was the newly reincarnated Devil had no idea.
"Uhhh, Kaito Hyoudou? The Student Council President wants to speak to you. I'll be escorting you!" He said, stepping further into the room and his voice getting more confident as he spoke.
With one final glance at Kiba and Koneko, Kaito's eyes rested back on Akeno for a moment "Whatever. Tell them, I don't care" He scoffed, walking past everyone and completely brushing past the blonde teen by the door, grabbing him by the back of his shirt and yanking him out of the room with him.

Hey guyssss!

Probably not, but oh well. I was bored and decided to write this, for those of you complaining about no changes to canon. Don't worry that comes next chapter. When that chapter will be released? Who knows.
