Chapter 2

"And I'm a Devil."

Those words were spoken to Shiro by the crimson-haired beauty that was sat on his bed and was only in her birthday suit. Shiro sat on the floor, his mouth opening and closing like a suffocating fish, for a few minutes before he glanced down her body and gained a hefty blush. It was also at that moment that his mouth finally caught up with his brain.

"Y-You're a D-Devil? A-And you're also very naked." He managed to get out and he quickly stood up when he heard footsteps approach his door.

"SHIRO KATSURA! GET YOUR ASS UP AND OUT OF BED BEFORE I DRAG YOU OUT." He heard his mother yell which insighted much panic as he was naked, there was a gorgeous naked girl on his bed and his mother was swiftly approaching his room.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit." He repeated in panic before grabbing a blanket that was on his floor and tossed it at Rias. "Quick put this over you." He told her but as he threw it, he didn't realise that it was underneath his feet so when he did throw it, he also threw himself at Rias causing him to fall on top of her. He luckily managed to stop himself from headbutting her and also accidently kissing her.

However...it was at the same time his mother decided to open the door to his room and enter. "Dammit Shiro. How many times have I told you not...to...stay...up...late..." Lilith trailed off when she saw the comprimising postion that Shiro and Rias were in. She stood there, in silence, for a few seconds with a twitching eye before smiling and gained a menacing aura. "Shiro...get dressed and come down stairs." She said before closing the door.

After a few seconds of listening to Lilith's fleeting footsteps, Shiro slid off Rias and onto the floor where he began slamming his head on said floor while also saying, "Fuck. My. Life." He groaned before seeing a foot in front of him and then he heard Rias speak.

"Your mother is an iteresting person Shiro." She said with a sweet smile.

Shiro merly glared at her before his eyes went wide as he was also in direct view of her...everything. "Y-You're not covered up anymore." Rias simply closed her eyes and smiled. "And I can see your parts."

"Want me to stand up so you can get a better look?" She asked, not even waiting for an answer as she stood up anyways giving Shiro an even better look at her feminine beauty...and also a better view of her pink lips.

"This has to be a fucking dream." He muttered and sat up, trying to force his eyes away from her body but failing badly. "There's no way a girl would say that to me yet a girl, one who's the wet dream of every guy at Kuoh, just said that to me." After a few seconds of silence, Shiro began smiling like a loon. "Matsuda and Motohama are gonna be piiiiiiiiised~" He hummed out, swaying from side to side.

"You seem in good spirits." Rias giggled out as she walked over to a neatly folded pile of clothes. She bent over and picked up a pair of black panties before she slipped them over her slender legs and covered herself up. "Better?" She asked Shiro as she turned to face him. "How's your stomach?" She asked much to the confussion of Shiro. Seeing this, Rias decided to continue. "Where you were stabbed."

"Where I was-!" Shiro's eyes went wide as he remembered the winged man from last night. "I-I should be dead...I had a huge hole in my stomach." He said in a hushed voice and ran a hand over his toned stomach, not feeling any scaring or of said hole. 'How does she know about my dream? Did I talk in my sleep.' "H-How did you know about that? I-It was only a dream right?"

Rias smiled at him and walked over to him. "It wasn't a dream Shiro." She said, glancing down at Shiro's stomach. Shiro, finally realising he was still in the nude, quickly covered up his slowly hardening pride. "Your body is amazing. I didn't expect that from you."

Not sure if it was an insult or not, Shiro merely shrugged. "What can I say, I need to be in shape for my sport." He told her before glancing over his shoulder with a blush. "You know...from the time I almost hit you and the other girl you were with."

"Yes well." She started to say as she picked up a bra that matched her panties. "You took quite a leathal blow yet you've managed to recover so quickly." She told him as she sorted out her bra and her breasts.

"Errrrr recover from what exactly?" Shiro asked her, finally deciding to get dressed himself, not wanting to anger his mother further.

"It left you extremely weak." She told him before walking up behind him and wrapped her arms around his stomach making him jump at her smooth touch. "But all you need was a little magic touch to bring you back from your weakened state...and I need you." She said before realising him and turned around, moving her hair out of the way of her bra strap. "Do you mind?" She asked him.

Shiro was, once again, silent as he pondered over his options before shrugging. "Sure." He said and walked up behind her, taking her bra strap and began tying it together. "So uhhh, kinda late, but why were we naked?" Shiro asked, silently cursing the bra strap he was fiddling with. "Why do they make these things so difficult."

He stopped when he heard Rias giggle, rather cutely at that. "I just told you, your wound couldn't heal on it's own so I held you close and used my magic." She said to him, turning and hugging him. "Like this." She whispered in his ear before seperating and began putting on her school uniform. "Oh and it only works when we are naked."

Shiro's whole body twitched and froze before he gained a shakey grin. "We...We didn't do it...did we?" He asked her before walking over to his drawer and took out his uniform. "I assume we're both virgins?"

"Yes, we are still virgins."

Shiro sighed in relief at that but he did gain a little scowl. 'It's good that we didn't fuck but at the same time I'm kinda disappointed that I didn't manage to tap that.' He thought as he got dressed in his uniform and tied his usual necklace around his...well his neck but he then went wide eyed as he felt Rias place a slender finger on his chin and made him face her. He gained a hefty blush as he stared into Rias' eyes and he only had one thought on his mind, 'She's...super pretty.'

"What's with that look?" She asked him with a smile. "You should be smiling. This world is magical."

"I'm-I'm smiling on the inside." He told her as his blush grew before he frowned again as he remember a certain part of the recent conversation. "I just remembered something...didn't you say you were a Devil?"

"That's right." She told him with a sweet smile. "And I'm also your Master."

"No-No fucking way."

"This-This is impossible. He had to have done her homework or paid her or something."

"What is happening here? Are they dating now?"

"I can actually see them dating..."

Shiro sighed as he heard varying amount of gossip that went around from student to student as the watched him walk next to Rias. 'Let the gossip games begin...I think my favourite one is that I paid her to do this.' Shiro thought with a snicker. 'But I guess this it what happens when you walk with the hotest girl in school. Bet her fan club will do everything to take me out.' Shiro had to stop himself from bursting out in laughter when he felt many death glares sent his way. He also had to resist flipping the bird to those that were behind him.

He and Rias continued to walk down the school yard and they soon entered the school building where Rias stopped, which made Shiro stop, and turned to him. "I'll have someone come fetch you so I can talk to you later."

"Fetch me?"

"That's right. We'll talk after school." And with that exchange, Rias left Shiro standing alone in the main school building lobby.

"Errr wait. Who are you sending?" Shiro called out after Rias but before he could take a step forwards he quickly leaned back and dodged a haymaker from Motohama but couldn't dodge the one from Matsuda.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" He yelled as Shiro went flying into a pillar and slowly slid down it. "Is that how it is now? How are we supposed to trust you when you pimping the big red on the DL?"

Shiro had resisted many things this morning but his paitence was slowly wearing down thanks to all the comments from the other students but getting haymakered from Matsuda took broke the staw on the camels back. "Matsuda...give me one good reason why I should punch you right now." Shiro growled out as he turned to the duo, an aura of black rage covered his body.

"I can give you one." Motohama said, pushing his glasses up with one finger. Suddenly, all Shiro's anger and rage was directed at the glasses wearing pervert and, props to Motohama, he stayed firm for all but five seconds before he flinched under the immense pressure. "W-Where did you got and what did you do when you left?"

Shiro stared at the two before taking a deep breath, the aura dissipating. "You really wanna know?" He asked the two before turning, grabbing his bag and then began to walk away before stopping and looking over his shoulder with a sly smirk. "I was rolling in some double-D's and some red-hair poon." That last part was a lie but he didn't care as the faces Matsuda and Motohama were making made it all worth it. "Now come on or we'll be late to class." Shiro said before continuing to walk away but it quickly turned to a sprint when Matsuda and Motohama started chasing him.

""GET BACK HERE YOU SILVER-HAIRED BASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!""

It was now the end of the day and Shiro was left alone in the classroom since Matsuda and Motohama were still pissed at him for walking in with Rias but he didn't care about how angry they were or if they hated him. What he did care about, however, was that the person that Rias was sending to collect him was late.

'Jeez how long are they gonna make me wait.' Shiro thought as he lent back on his chair and kicked his feet up on the desk and stared out the window. He waited another five minutes before hearing the girls that were still in the room and were getting ready for their after school activities start to freak out. Shiro looked over and rolled his eyes as he saw the school's pretty boy, Kiba Yuuto walk in. 'Oh my god Prince Charming.' Shiro thought with an eye roll but soon strightened out when he walked over to his desk. Shiro took his feet of the desk and crossed his arms. "You been sent by Rias?" Shiro asked before standing up.

"That I am." He said with a smile.

"Oh cool." He said with a dull tone of voice before making a gun gesture with his right hand and placed it against Kiba's head causing the blonde haired to raise an eyebrow...and also made all the girls pissed at him. "Bang." He simply said.

Kiba raised an eyebrow at this and looked at Shiro's hand. "What was that for?"

After a few minutes of silence, Shiro gained a huge grin. "Just shooting the messenger." He stated before grabbing his bag and then turned to Kiba. "Lead on."

"Wait...is weasel boy about to walk out with Kiba-cake."

"Kiba don't do it."

"Calm your tits." Shiro growled out. "I promise not to drain his pimp juice...okay that sounded a lot less gay in my head." Shiro sighed out and shook his head. "Look can we move this along please?"

"Of course." Kiba smiled at him and began to lead Shiro out of the main school building.

"So...gonna take a shot in the dark here and say that you're a Devil like Rias?" Shiro asked with a board tone of voice. That question made Kiba trip in shock and look back at him with a very surprised face causing Shiro to shrug. "Look I'm just going off on the facts I've been given."

"W-Well I thinks it's best that Rias explains everything." Kiba shakily told him and continued walking to the Old School house.

"Well this is inconspicuous." Shiro said as Kiba lead him into the building. "No one would ever bother to look for Devils in an abandond building." The sarcasm practically dripped from Shiro's voice.

"Yes well...we haven't been found out yet." Kiba responded with a sly smile.

Shiro opened his mouth to respond but froze and clicked his tongue. "Touchè pretty boy. Touchè." Shiro was slient for the rest of the short trip as Kiba lead him up to the second floor, down the corridor for a few feet before stopping outside a door that had a satanic looking ritual circle etched into the wood. Shiro looked over to Kiba with a deadpan stare which prompted him to laugh a little before completely changing his demeanour to that of a serious one.

"We're coming in." He said, knocking on the door before pushing it open.

Shiro whistled in awe as he took in the interior of the room Kiba lead him into. The room itself was fairly spacious, the walls lined with book cases and each was filled with dingy and dusty books. In the centre of the room was a blackish/purple carpet and two couches, facing opposite each other, and in between them was an oaken table. Sat on the left couch was Koneko, the white haired loli who watched him from the bridge.

"Huh...didn't know she was with the ORC." Shiro hummed as he watched her eat a chocolate bar.

"Oh? You know who she is?" Kiba questioned, gaining Koneko's attention. "Koneko Toujou is a first year and a valued member of the Ocult Research Club."

"Who doesn't know who she is. Hell, my friends go on and on about her and it's fucking aggrivating." Shiro said with an eye roll before politely bowing to her. "Hello, the names Shiro Katsura." He said before standing up and raised an eyebrow as he heard the sound of running water. "The fuck?" He said and began looking around the room and his eyes landed on a doorway, without a door, and was also wafting up some steam. "Is that a shower?" Shiro question as he sat on the couch opposite Koneko. "Wonder who's using it at this time of day..." Shiro idly mused to himself.

"Your clothes are laid out for you when you are ready ." He heard a sultry female voice say to whoever was in the shower.

"Thank you Akeno." He then blushed when he heard Rias' voice reply back.

"Wait so Rias was in there?" Shiro questioned and turned around to look back but froze when he heard Koneko speak.

"It's not polite to stare."

Shiro turned back to face her with a dull glare. "Well it's not every day you hear someone take a shower in front of a bunch of people, knowing or not. Geez, you would think that Rias is an exhibitionist or something." Shiro sighed whilest rubbing the back of his head.

"Ara ara~" Shiro suddenly went rimrod stright when he felt a pair of slender arms wrap around his neck and chest while also hearing the same voice that spoke to Rias. "And who's this?" She asked and placed her chin on Shiro's neck. He turned his head and went wide eyed as he saw the same raven-haired girl that was walking with Rias. Shiro rememebered that Motohama called her Akeno Himejima. "It's okay, I don't bite." She said before leaning close to his ear and whispered. "Unless you want me to ufufufufu~"

"Akeno." Before Shiro could do anything, his saviour came in the from of Rias stepping out of the shower, fully dressed and drying her hair with a towel. "Stop picking on poor Shiro." She told her, even though she had a smile plastered across her face.

"Ufufufu~ But his reactions are too adorable." She said, still hugging a very furiously blushing Shiro. After a few seconds of silent staring, Akeno finally released Shiro and walked next to Rias.

"Oh thank christ on a pike staff." Shiro breathed a sigh of relief before sending a silent glare towards Akeno who merely smiled at him and licked her lips. "Alllright...now that I'm here can we please get this moving along." Shiro said, rolling his hand.

"Well everyone's here so why not." Rias said with a smile and placed the towel on her desk. "First off, I'd like to offically welcome you to the Ocult Research club but you should know that the club is just a facade we us to hide our true identity."

"And I'm guessing your true identity is that of the devilish kind?" Shiro asked with a sly smirk. This was rewarded with a light slap across his head via Koneko. "Ow..." He winced and rubbed his head.

"Bad joke." She told him in a monotone voice.

Rias coughed in her hand to get the attention back to her. "Moving past the bad joke. Shiro you are correct." Rias smiled sweetly at him. "Everyone here is a Devil and the winged man from the other day." She winced when Shiro's expression turned sour and he gained a murderous aura. "Please calm yourself Shiro. Anyway, the man is a Fallen Angel."

"Wait." Shiro quickly held up his hand to silence Rias. "I get that you guys are Devils and all but do Fallen Angels really exsist?" Shiro questioned with a raised eyebrow. "Wasn't Lucifer an Angel who was banished from Heaven because he had different opinions from God? So technically Lucifer is a-"

"I'm going to stop you there." Rias quickly said, hushing Shiro. He could tell that he was about to say something very stupid due to the heavy atmosphere. "Yes, Lucifer was banished from Heaven but that Lucifer is a different one then the one who rules over our realm, you call it hell, but back to Fallen Angels. Most people think that Fallen Angels are the same as us Devils but those people are mistaken. They want to serve God but It's too late for them." She shook her head. "Their dark emotions have forced them into the Underworld where they fight us to reign supreme. The confusion is understandable since they also want to misslead Humans but they wish to please God so they also hunt us down and, like I mentioned earlier, reign supreme over the Underworld."

"So the Devils are getting beaten on two fronts." Shiro said with a wince. "Angels on one side and Fallen on the other. Makes me wonder how you've managed to survive this long, no offense." Shiro said as he felt a glare sent his way via the loli next to him.

"None taken." Rias waved him off with a smile. "Well a few hundred years ago a truce was made which ended the three sided war between us." Rias then paused for a second before smiling. "Honestly I'm surprised you're taking this so well."

Shiro shruged before leaning back into the couch. "Eh. I'm taking everything you say with a grain of salt but considering what's happened in the past couple days." Shiro trailed of as he gained a pensive expression. "But...there is one thing I don't get."

"Oh? And what's that?" Rias asked him and sat down behind her desk.

"I'm guessing 'Yuuma' was a Fallen Angel?" He asked to which Rias nodded. "Then how come Matsuda or Motohama can't remember her? And on top of that her contact information is gone from my from my phone so...I'm starting to wonder if I did meet her." Shiro said as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. Rias smirked before she pulled a photograph out from her desk and tossed it at Shiro and made it land on the table in front of him. Shiro took one glance at the picture and he went from shock to sadness to anger and tried to immolate the picture with his eyes. "Yuuma." He growled out through clenched teeth.

"That's right." Rias spoke aloud making Shiro look at her firm expression. "It wasn't a dream. The Fallen Angel who called herself Yuuma Amano is real."

Shiro was eerily quite to the point that it made everyone, even the stoic Koneko, take on a nervous expression. He took a deep breath through his nose, picked up the photograph and stared at it with a emotionless expression before tearing it in half and then half again before letting the pieces fall from his hand. "I never want to see her or anything to do with her again." Shiro said in a hushed whisper and clenched his hands into fists. "She ruined my life and if I see her again...I will ruin hers." Shiro took another deep breath before sitting back down. "So moving on to how she was able to make people forget that she ever existed?"

Rias looked Shiro over before sighing to herself. "We can erase people's memories. It...It usually ends up being the best choice for both parties involved. Including your parents."

"My parents?" Shiro parroted with a tilted head before remembering this mornings...incedent. "So was that why my mother was acting so...loopy?"

Rias pondered on this before shrugging her shoulders. "Loopy isn't the word I would use but yes, that is why she would've acted differently."

"So she messed with people's memories...wouldn't there be side effects though?" Shiro asked her as he stared at the shredded photo.

"Not if it's done properly." Shiro turned to the raven-haired girl that was stood next to Rias. "If a memory spell is used to erase a persons existance or to alter a memory that is recent then there should be no perminent damge to the aflicted." Akeno explained with a smile on her face.

"Akeno is correct and it seemed like the Fallen Angel only erased her existance from those that met her." Rias told Shiro. "After a Fallen Angel acomplishes his or her goal, she erases all existance of his or herself."

Shiro sat on the couch, taking it all in, before breaking out in a cold sweat. "I-I'm scared to ask but...what was her goal?"

Rias stared at Shiro before sighing sadly and closing her eyes. "I'm sure you know what it was..." She then opened her eyes and it was almost she was staring directly into Shiro's soul. "Her goal was to kill you but that was only after she figured out if there was something within you that was a danger to her and the other Fallen ones. Once that was varified..." Rias trailed off uncomfortably and avoided making eye contact with Shiro.

"She stabbed both of my legs, made a giant hole in my stomach and then left me to bleed out on the ground." Shiro bluntly stated. "No need to pussyfoot around the subject Rias. I've come to terms with it." Shiro then thought on what Yuuma had told him before she killed him

"If you want someone to blame then blame him. He gave you the sacred gear."

"That explains the fucked up shit she was saying." He said, looking at his right arm. He didn't know why he did that but he felt drawn to it somehow. "About something sacred...and then there was that voice." He whispered.

Upon hearing this, Rias tilted her head to the side. "Voice? What voice?" She asked him.

Not taking his eyes of his hand, Shiro explained to her. "Well, when she first transformed into her Fallen Angel form...I was frozen in fear and...and I truly thought that that was the place I was going to die at but then there was this voice that told me to run...there was something else it said but everything is too hazy." He explained with a shake of his head. He then managed to pry his eyes away from his hand to ask Rias a question. "But the hell is a sacred gear anyways?"

"It's basically a very intense and unique power that only a few select individuals have." Akeno explained to Shiro as she sat down next to Kiba. "In fact, the only people I know of that posses a sacred gear are historical figures so you're kind of a big deal."

'Big enough to warrent murder...' Shiro thought with a side off glance.

"This power can be so uncontrollable that some who have it become a threat to the three sides." Rias then looked over to Shiro's right hand and then back to stare in his eyes. "Shiro, hold up your right hand please, the one you've been subconciously looking at." Shiro went wide eyed before slowly raising his right hand. "Good. Now, think of the part of you that is the strongest and then focus hard on that strength." Rias said as she moved from behind her desk and in front of it to sit on top of it.

"Okay but I don't see why I need to raise my hand." Shiro said with an eye roll before closing them. 'The part of me that's the strongest...well that would be my legs...no, my arms.' Shiro thought on his arms and hands and began focusing on the strength they hold. He wanted to see if anything was happening so he slowly opened his eyes before shooting them open as he caught sight of Rias' panties but that wasn't what made them shoot open. No, what made them shoot open was the fact that they were see-through. He swiftly closed them and forced them to stay closed. 'Focus on your hands, focus on your hands, focus on your hands.' He repeated in his mind like a mantra before collapsing to his knees. "I can't do it." He sighed as he leant against the couch. He then raised his right hand and held it in front of his face. "Hell, I can't even hear the voice."

"Well...I'm not sure what I can say other then continue trying to focus on the power you hold." Rias said with a sigh before clapping her hands and smiled. "Is that all?"

Shiro looked over to Rias and pondered for a few seconds before shrugging. "Kinda...how the hell am I still alive?" He asked her and stood up. "Sure some of the events of that day might be a bit hazy but I don't remember seeing you at the park."

Rias sighed before reaching behind her and held up a familiar brown sheet of paper. "Do you remember this?" Rias asked him.

Shiro walked up to Rias and took the piece of paper off her. "Of course I do but...how did you know I had one of these?"

"This is a special flyer we use to from contracts with humans. Just before your life ended you summoned me with your thoughts via this flyer."

Shiro thought on this for a few seconds before his eyes went wide. [There is another...one you have met before...she can give you another life...] "The voice told me to summon you...it said that you can give me another life." He breathed in realisation. "So you really did appear from the flyer to save me."

Rias stood up straight and nodded. "I did. That day, you were revived and reborn as an honored member of the house of Rias Gremory, daughter of the great and powerful marquis of Gremory." She said proudly and with an aura of confidence as two black and bat-like wings sprouted from her back. One by one, the other members of the ORC stood up and bat-like wings sprouted from their backs...and then it was Shiro's turn.

He lurched forwards when he felt the wings sprout from his back causing him to look back at them. "Woah...that's-that's something else." He breathed out as he gave his wings a flap, getting a feel for them. "So I really am your Devil servant..." He said, turning back to Rias and the others.

"Yes but don't think that just because you're a servant means that you have a leash on you." Rias smiled at him. "I treat my servants like they were my own family. Now, I'm going to explain the basics of being a Devil servant. How it works is we grant power to Humans for a price we both agree on, this is commonly know as a 'pact'."

"So alchemy rule of equivalent exchange?" Shiro asked Rias. "In order for something to be gained, something of equal or greater value must be given."

"In short yes, I guess you can think of it that way." Rias giggled out but quickly became serious again. "It used to be that Humans would draw magic circles to summon us but that became far too tedious. Now a days, we make housecalls and personal deliveries." She explained.

Rias then turned to the side and held her hand above the table, summoning a magic circle that was the same colour as her hair and after a few seconds of bright blinding light, the magic circle was gone and on the table were stacks upon stacks of the same flyer that Shiro was given. Rias then turned to Shiro with a smile making the silver-haired teen break out into a cold sweat. "What's with that look for?" Rias said nothing and handed Shiro a bag and at that point Shiro understand what Rias wanted him to do. "I see..." He sighed and began packing the flyers into his bag.

Rias sat down next to him and crossed her legs. "Normally, we would get a messenger Devil to do this but since you're a new servant it would benefit you to learn what all goes into this." Rias thought for a second before smiling and leant down to whisper in Shiro's ear. "If you do well, you might even got some servants of your own."

"Huh...neat." Shiro was reaction was...underwhelming to say the least. "So...how long do I have to hand out flyers to get some servants for myself?" Shiro asked as he finished packing the flyers and slung the bag over his shoulders. "So these servants of mine will do what ever I say?"

"That's right and the best thing is that you can use them for anything." She said with a sweet smile.

Shiro nodded in understanding before turning and walking to the window. "Well I'm going to hand these out then I'll be back. Shouldn't take me more then...half an hour or so." Shiro told her before opening the window and jumpped out.

Everyone watched this with varying degrees of emotion. No one said or did anything as they watched Shiro fly off into the distant night to pass out the flyers...that was until Koneko went pale and quickly ran to the window, shocking everyone as she had a look of fear in her eyes.

"Koneko?" Kiba quickly rushed to her side when he saw her freeze in place. When he saw her stare off into the distance he followed her gaze and gained a confused face as he saw what she was staring at. A single black cat with amber eyes and the cat was staring back at Koneko. The cat and Koneko continued to stare at each other until the cat swished it's tail and scampered off into the night. Kiba looked back at Koneko and was shocked to see that her pupils had become slitted and her hair had gained to white tufts that twitched a little.

Kiba made the choice to leave Koneko alone for now but as he did she whispered something under her breath. "Sis..."

The black cat watched Shiro from afar as he left the old school building, training it's gaze on him as he spread his wings and flew towards the first batch of houses, before turning back to look at the old school building to see Koneko stare at it. They stared at each other until Kiba appeared and at that point the cat had seen enough. She flicked her tail before hoping of the tree she was pertched on before walking into the surrounding forest. sparing one last glance before dashing away.

The black cat somehow managed to keep pace with Shiro for a few blocks before making a turn and began heading down a different street.

She continued this until until she reached a familair house with a large tree in the back garden. She hoped the fence and shook her self before walking up to a window that showed the kitchen. She hoped up on the windowsill and stared into the kitchen and at the women who was sat at the table, her back facing the window.

The cat walked along the windowsill until she saw what the woman was looking at, a picture with a woman with black hair laying in a hosptial bed and next to her was a man with silver-hair and looked exhausted. In the woman's arms was a baby who's hair was the same colour as the man's hair and the childs eyes were an ice-blue.

"Is it true?" The woman spoke aloud. "Is what I asked you to find true." She turned around to face the cat. "Has my child become a Devil?" She asked the cat.

The cat stared at the woman before sighing. "Yes...he's a Devil." The cat spoke into her mind. "But the good news is he's been reincarnated by-"

The woman held up her hand to silence the man, she sighed but couldn't help but smile. "I know...he's been reincarnated by Rias Gremory. It could be worse." She said with a smile. "He could've been renincarnated by that playboy infernal bird bastard." She laughed. "And if that happened, I would be classed as an SS-rank criminal."

"That wasn't funny Lilith..." The hissed at Lilith causing the older woman to wince.

"I know I know...sorry." She sighed and opened the window, allowing the cat to enter the house. "It's just that...I thought I would be able to keep him away from the Mythos world but it seems like my efforts haven't been enough." She sighed, sitting back down at the table and focused on the picture.

The black cat hoped up onto the table and sat down next to her, also focusing on the picture. After a long silence the cat spoke again with a blissfull sigh. "He really does resemble Artemis...doesn't he?" The cat asked Lilith making the woman smile.

"He really does and I couldn't be prouder." She said, standing up and taking the picture along before setting it back down on the kitchen top. Lilith turned back to the cat and smiled. "Thank you for watching over him Nanako." She said to Nanako. "Think you can watch over him for a little longer?" She asked.

Nanako swished her tail back and fourth before smiling herself. "Well it is my contract to watch over Shiro and protect him but...I couldn't protect him from death."

"I don't blame you Nanako." Lilith said as she walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the stairs, Nanako followed close behind. She stopped at a locked door. She then traced her hand over in a set pattern as a black rune with the symbol of a Dragon appeared on the door. After she was done, the rune disappeared which allowed Lilith to open said door. "I doesn't matter how powerful you are, there was nothing you could've done against a spear of light." Lilith told Nanako and lead her down the stairs.

Nanako jumped on Lilith's shoulder and sighed. "While that may be true...I still could've tried to save him."

"Well what's done is done." Lilith said as she waved her hand down the dark corridor and a set of torches that lined the walls light up in a blue flame. "For now...continue watching him from afar until the time is right." She said before walking to another door and traced another rune. "I'll also need to change the contract that Artemis set up so I can change the ownership to Shiro."

Nanako looked at her with a stern look. "So you really are serious about this...even the other condition?"

"Yes...even that condition." Lilith said as she walked through the door and into a dark room that was only lit up by a singular blue torch-flame. In the middle of the room was a table and chest. Lilith walked over to the chest and opened it, pulling out a scroll. "It's time for us to begin."

"I'm back!" Shiro called out into the clubroom as he entered. He looked around and saw Koneko sat on the couch but couldn't see Rias or the others. He turned to the white-haired loli with a questioning glance. "Where's Rias and the others?" He asked her as he walked over to the bookshelves and picked up a random book before reading it in his head.

'The practice known as 'magic' originated from Demonic powers generated by Devils. While most, if not all, creatures have the capacity to learn magical spells, only Humans can be called Magicians. Human magicans require incantations or special runes to use magic whereas Devil magic comes from their passion, desires and emotions. The stronger ones imagination is, and their resolve, the stronger the magic is.'

"Akeno and Kiba are out doing contracts." He heard Rias say from behind him, breaking him out of his readings. He turned his head to look at her before blushing as he saw that she was only wearing a wet towel.

"Pervert..."

He snapped his neck over to Koneko and glared at her. "So why is Koneko still here?" He growled out. "Doesn't she have a contract to go out to?"

"Well Koneko's been double booked."

"Lucky you."

"And I would like you to take one of them to get some practice." Rias said as she walked over to her desk and pulled out a flyer just in time as the others returned. "You'll use this magic circle to reach the client." She said, pointing to the large magic circle that was one the ground. "Akeno, do you mind?"

"Not at all Rias." Akeno bowed politely and walked over to the magic circle.

"Shiro come here please." She said, waving her hand gesturing for Shiro to walk over. She grabbed his hand and turned it so his palm was facing upwards and traced her finger over his palm. Shiro's eyes went wide as he saw a red sigil appear. "This is a special seal which proves that you are apart of my household." She told him before looking him in the eyes. "When you get to the clients house don't panic and just do what I told you."

"Listen to their request, complete it and then seal with a pact. Got it." Shiro nodded in confidence before walking over and stood in the centre of the magic circle. "Alright...let's do this thing." Shiro said, closing his eyes as the crimson light grew bighter and brighter, almost blindingly so. Everything was going well until

C-CRACK

The sound of glass being shattered echoed through the room making Shiro open his eyes. "The fuck?" He cursed before looking down and saw cracks in the magic circle. He then looked back up with a shaky grin. "Is-Is it supposed to be doing this?" He asked worriedly. The paniced looks he gained were not comforting.

C-CRACK CRACK

"Step out of the circle Shiro." Rias quckily said. "Now!" Shiro did as he was told and jumped out of the circle, causing the glow to stop and the cracking as well. Rias and Akeno walked over to the magic circle and stared at it in shock. "Well this is strange...that's never happened before." Rias breathed out, stunned.

"Uhhhh what does this mean?"

"It means you can't make the jump...but there is another way."

"What other way?"

"This is humiliating." Shiro growled out as he hoped from roof top to roof top. "What kind of Devil runs to their client? None of them, thats who." He yelled in frustration as he stood on the edge of a roof top.

Apparently, it seemed like something Shiro was putting out way too much power for the magic circle to handle. If Shiro had stayed in the circle for a second longer then it would've exploaded...according to Koneko that is but Shiro thought she was just trying to get under his skin. Rias had suggested riding a bike to the client but Shiro thought that it would've added more insult to injury plus he could run faster then a bike.

Which lead up to now. Shiro following a map that lead to the client. "So that's where this guy lives?" Shiro spoke to himself as he spotted an appartment building in the distance. 'Time to get this over and done with.' Shiro sighed to himself and jumped of the roof, landing in a crouched position. He took great joy in not feeling any pain from that fall.

He made his way over to the appartment complex, climbed the stairs before walking down the walkway and came to a stop outside room 2-1. Shiro checked the name on the door before nodding to himself and knocked. " ...Devil from the house of Gremory here." He stopped knocked after a few seconds and waited...and waited...and waited.

He contemplated on knocking again until the door became ajar, revealing a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a grayish white t-shirt and black slacks. Morisawa took one look at Shiro before scowling. "Who the hell are you?" He questioned.

Shiro's eyebrow twitched at the rude tone he was getting before forcing a smile. "Like I said, I'm a Devil sent by Rias Gremory and I'm here to-" Shiro was cut off when Morisawa slammed the door in his face.

"Yeah right."

"The fuck?"

"I know how this works." Morisawa shouted. "Koneko always appears through the flyer. She's the one I called for."

"Yeah well...someone else had the same idea as you so they sent me to fill in her place."

"And what makes you think I'll believe you?" He questioned. "And besides, what Devil knocks on someones door?"

"Look pal." Shiro growled. "I don't care if you believe me or not. Koneko was double booked and I'm a new Devil so either you open the door or I tell my Master why I can't complete the contract." After a loooooooooong silence, the door fully opened allowing Shiro entry. "Thank you." He nodded to Morisawa before stepping inside and taking a look around. "Wow...I have no words." Shiro said with a blank gaze. The place looked like an otaku's paradise.

Shiro liked a good anime everynow and then but what he saw was just borderline obsession. Morisawa seemed to take great pleasure in seeing Shiro's stunned expression. "Pretty cool huh."

"That's...one way of putting it." Shiro said before kneeling at the table. "So...what do you want me to do?"

Morisawa stared at Shiro before walking into the kitchen and grabbed two cups before pouring some tea in them. He walked over to Shiro, placing one in front of him and then sat down at a desk with a computer. "What Devil tricks can you do?" Morisawa asked him.

"Uhhh...what does Koneko normally do?" Shiro asked him, slightly fearing what this otaku would ask Koneko to do.

"Save the princess." Morisawa energetically said and pulled out a brown dress with a white under shirt. The silence that Shiro gave Morisawa said it all. "I tried looking everywhere for a pretty girl to sweep me off my feet.

"Wait a fucking second." Shiro held up his hand to silence Morisawa before he pinched the bridge of his nose. "She saves you?"

"Yeah...so what can you do?" Morisawa scowled at him as he put the dress away.

"Hmmmm." Shiro thought for a second before standing up and held his right wrist in his left hand. 'Come Shiro...focus on that power Rias said you have...hell, try and do some Devil magic if you can. The book said that Magic comes from a Devils imagination so anythings possible.' Shiro thought with his eyes closed for a few seconds before snapping them open with a glare. After a few seconds of silence the air began to smell of ozone and the air around his hand began to spark and crackle before erupting in blue-electricity.

Both Morisawa and Shiro were shocked at this development. "Holy shit that actually fucking worked." Shiro whooped ecstatically before the lightning vanished. "All I did was think about the chidori...wonder what else I can do." Shiro said as he stared at his hands in wonder.

"So...your a fan of that huh?" Morisawa suddenly spoke, his glasses glinted in a way that hid his eyes. "Of Naruto I mean."

Shiro looked at Morisawa with a confused glance before shrugging. "Eh, I watch it every now and then but I lost interest near the end of Shippuden...why you ask?"

Morisawa stood up, turned and walked over to a curtain before pulling it open revealling the complete series of Dragon Ball. "Observe, all first editions of Dragon Ball Z." Shiro just...stared at him in silence. "Normally I wouldn't show this to just anyone but since your a Devil." Morisawa then turned to Shiro and pointed his finger at him. "For this contract, we're going to have an anime marathon."

Shiro sighed in response before shrugging. "Well...I do have to complete this contract and get a pact so fuck it." He said and stood up. "I'll indulge you."

One hour later...

Shiro whistled in awe as the final episode of the first season finished. "Well colour me impressed...that was something." He said before standing up and cracking his back. "Ugggh well the hour's up so time for that pact Morisawa." Shiro said and turned to the man.

"Hmm well I normally give Koneko some money." Morisawa said as he began putting away the anime boxes. "But I'm kinda short on cash so...how about that?" He asked, pointing at an ornate sword that was on the wall. "It's got a dull blade but it should be enough right?"

Shiro looked at the sword before nodding his head and pulled out a flyer. "It should be fine. Use this to send it to my master." Shiro said, handing the flyer to Morisawa. "Normally we would take it with us but since I can't use a warp this is the next best thing." Shiro repeated the words that Rias said to him when she gave him said flyer. "Anyways, I need to get going. Later Morisawa." Shiro waved goodbye and walked out of the appartment and descended down the stairs.

As he walked, Shiro slipped his headphones over his, well his head, and began to listen to his music and started whistling along with it. 'For my first contract, I think it went pretty well...weird but well.' He thought as he continued along, blissfully unaware of the pair of light-blue eyes that were watching him. 'Although...It could've gone better if I managed to summon my sacred gear.' He thought and stared at his right hand. 'What will it take for you to appear?'

[Danger...]

Shiro froze when he heard the same voice from before, when he was killed by Yuuma, speak to him. "W-Wait! Hold on." He yelled at his hand. If anybody were to see him, they would think that he was crazy. "How do I summon you?" He pleaded the voice to tell him but no matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he yelled...the voice wouldn't come back which infuriated Shiro. "GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!"

"Here I was, looking to find someone to help with my cravings." He shuddered as he heard a high-pitched female voice come from behind him. He turned to see a young girl with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing some gothic lolita clothing stalk towards him. "But what do I find instead? A disgusting Devil...and one that isn't even cute. My names Mittelt and I'm supposed to kill you." She sneered at him once she stepped into the light. "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" She asked him just as a pair of wings sprouted from her back and a spear of light formed in her hand.

Shiro's face turned down right murderous. "A Fallen Angel." He growled out and spread his legs, not to run but to fight. 'Now would be a good time to summon sacred gear.' Shiro scowled at his hand but he quickly switched his glare to the Fallen Angel who glared back.

"Don't look at me with those disgusting Devil eyes." She said, flying high into the sky. "Your kind makes me sick." She then pulled her arm back and threw her spear towards Shiro.

He quickly dove out of the way of the spear and then rolled back onto his feet. "Funny...I can say the same thing about you." Shiro looked at his hand and saw the sigil Rias placed on him glow brightly.

"The Gremory family crest?" Mittelt questioned before bursting out laughing. "Oh my god. You've been reborn by her? That's hilarous. That mean's you're the one Dohnahseek mistake for a pathetic stray. Hahahahaha~" She stopped laughing before turning her demented smile back towards Shiro. "Killing you is going to be all the more sweeter." She said, this time summoning multiple spears of light. Two then four then eight and then ten, ten spears of light all of which were pointed at Shiro.

Shiro took a fearful step back and swallowed heavily. 'That's a lot of spears. There's no way I can dodge all of them. My best option is to either use Magic, even though I have no idea if I could even stop those, or figure out how to summon my sacred gear. Focus Shiro...' Shiro grit his teeth as Mittelt sent the spears flying towards him, laughing manicially as she did. Shiro pulled his right arm back before punching the air with a hearty yell. "SUMMON DAMMIT!" He yelled just as the first spear hit his fist. What happened next was shocking to say the least. There was a brilliant flash of green light that enveloped his hand, then there was a wave of energy that caused all the spears to shatter and sent Mittelt flying backwards. Finally, a red guantlet covered the back of his hand and left his fingers exposed, along with a green gem in the centre, that sent a blast of green energy towards the Fallen Angel, enveloping her and somehow shredding her down to her underwear.

Shiro looked at the gauntlet with wide eyes before grinning maniacally, he then turned his grin to Mittelt and made a 'come hither' gesture. "You want some more?" He asked. Mittelt sneered at him, while covering herself up with her hands, before turning tail and flew away. Shiro kept his cocky demenour for a few more seconds until Mittelt was fully out of his view before collapsing to the ground. "Holy fucking shit that was way too close." He breathed out and knocked his head against the wall. He then held up his right hand and stared into the gem. "So you're my sacred gear huh?" The longer Shiro stared, it almost felt like something or someone stared back at him.

"Congratulations on summoning your sacred gear." Rias congratulated him with a smile. When Shiro ran late on getting back, Rias started to get a little worried that something might've happened to him but that was soon alleviated when he stepped through the window and started to show off his new found power. "All you have to do is decide when you want it on or off." She said.

And just like that, the gauntlet vanished from his hand making Shiro breath a sigh of relief. "Thank Satan for that. If it was always there, it would most certainly turn some heads." He said before scowling. "I still can't believe a Fallen Angel found me again."

"It does put us in a...strange position." Rias said and held her head in her hand. "The Fallen Angels now know that not only are you still alive but are now apart of my household." Shiro scratched the back of his head sheepishly and opened his mouth to apologise but Rias held up her head to silence him. "While it wasn't your fault. There is one thing I want you to remember...even though you've managed to summon the sacred gear you mustn't try and fight them alone."

"Got that right." Shiro sighed. As much as he hated to admit it, if he didn't summon the sacred gear in time...there was no doubt in his mind that he would've died. "Even though she looked like a child...she was powerful." He kept his scowl for a few seconds before yawning heavily. "Man am I tired."

Rias stared at Shiro before smiling. "It has been a long day...why don't you head home and get some rest." Shiro stared at Rias before nodding.

"Will do. Later guys." He said, grabbing his bag as he left. "See you tomorrow." After that last parting, he closed the door and left the old school building.

The next day, Shiro was out of the house before his alarm even began to ring. He was currently walking to school, taking his old route before he started parkour, he took this time to think on last night. He sighed in annoyance when his mind went to the Fallen Angel Mittelt. "I can't believe I was so careless...should've known the Fallen Angels wouldn't leave even after killing me." He spoke to himself.

"Ow!" He stopped when he heard a feminine voice yelp in pain. He turned his head towards the sound before blushing as he saw a pair of white panties covering a firm derrie. "I can't believe I feel down."

'Seriously?'

"I'm such a klutz." The girl said as she sat up allowing Shiro to get a proper look at her. Blonde hair and green eyes along with a face that could melt hearts. All in all, Shiro thought she looked very cute and innocent.

And that's all for now. So...second chapter and there's already reviews on this fic...colour me impressed.

DireProphet and OberonHK96: I don't think you understood the harem list. That list wasn't me asking on who I should put in the harem, the people there are the ones in the harem (all of which are staying in said harem) and I also forgot to add Rosswisse to the Harem so let me do that now.

1) Kuroka
2) Akeno
3) Koneko
4) Grayfia
5) Xenovia
6) Rosswisse
7) Rias

ProjektEndsieg: I'm glad you like Shiro's personallity. Personally, I hate Issei...there's a fine line between peverted and just plan harrasment like his stupid dress break attack. He will still be a little peverted since he hangs out with Matsuda and Motohama but that's as far as I will go. No dress break, no bi-whatever it's called and no other attacks that involve stripping women. Second, I felt like Raynare wasn't portrayed as much of a sadist in the anime as she should've which is why I wrote her like that. Third, I haven't read many DxD fics because I can only seem to find God-Issei or some other BS like that. The only DxD fic I truly like is Devil Reborn Redux. Fourth, that was Ddraig's voice that spoke to Shiro as for the promise he was talking about...spoilers :3.

Anyways, I'm glad people are enjoying this. Personally, I thought it was going to be tacky and well shit since I'm a horrid writer and have zero original ideas. But apart from that...I have nothing else to say except I will upload when I finish a chapter and don't be surprised if I disappear for a month or so. It's just who I am.

Stay well, Stay true...BYE BYE~
