Nothing much to say a filler chapter. Stay golden, and good read.
EDIT: Just kidding, I thought this chapter was wholly a filler when I first posted, but after everything... Yikes, so many things came back from this chapter alone. But for now, yeah, it's just some funny jokes... For now.
Highschool dxd does not belongs to me, thank you very much!
"All right, gentlemen! Since we are in three, I guess you can all say that we are now a group!"
"Yeah... Barely, But whatever."
"And since we're a group, a group of supernatural beings at that, I say we must do what every other group does while in a place like school!"
"Err... What, exactly, Gremory?"
"Isn't it obvious?! We must... CREATED COOL AND AWESOME NAMES FOR OURSELVES!"
I facepalmed at that. Of course it would be something stupid, or at least complicated and out of context. Here I am, with my little... Group? A pen in hand, with a notebook in my lap, waiting for further explanations and orders from my King. Akabane is snuggling in my arm, while Gremory was walking here and there, chanting her little mantra of 'awesomeness' and 'coolness'. Where we are, you ask?
In the janitor's locker room...
So, yeah, apparently, Gremory couldn't get the permition to start a club, since the requirements to make it were to have at least four members and an advisor teacher to take care of it. Without those, no deal, period. So, for the time being, we're gonna stay here, doing our little... Club things, next to some brooms, buckets and chemical products that will most likely burn our skin or choke us to death.
Yeah, for my second life~...
"Please elaborate, Gremory-san." I lifted a hand and asked her. She seemed excited to answer me.
"Good think you asked, Ichijou-kun! Well, as devils... And a ninetails, our duty is to give new and cool names for ourselves and our powers!" Yeah, like that. I actually don't mind not having any names to call myself. Ichijou is just fine by me. I call the redhead "Gremory" and the ninetails "Akabane", I guess we don't need nicknames and names for attacks for now.
"But why?"
"Because...! A name actually is what differs a thing from Nothingness. Since the beginning of times, sentient beings has the urge to give things names, even when they usually never adresses themselves as such. I guess is what we call consideration. After all, by privating a thing of something as basic as a name, we're practically denying that thing's existence, and nothing is more rude and inhuman that simply ignore the existence of thy neighbor..."
"..."
...
...
WHAT?! Did I just get lectured by Gremory?! BY GREMORY OF ALL PEOPLE?! Worst of all, this logic makes perfect sense! Now, I feel like a jerk. Geez, right in the pride. I gulped. She's smiling, like she's happy in lecturing me, and not in the 'I'm-smarter-than-you-and-you-just-got-owned!' Way. No hardfeelings, right?
"Okay... I get it." I mumbled miserably, putting the point of my pen on the paper of my notebook and starting to write everything I've learn watching anime and manga.
Some time passed, and I finally finish mine. It wasn't that hard, I just needed to write a cool name and an alternative reading for Gremory to be happy. And with that accomplished, I turned my notebook upside-down and waited for further instructions. Soon after, the girls also stopped.
"Uh-Huh! Everybody done? Good! So, as the resident King, I'll be the first!" Gremory said, opening her little red notebook and showing us the name. "Tcham-tcham! What do you guys think?"
.
[RED PRINCESS] (reading as "Crimson King of damnation")
.
"..." I was speechless. That name was pretty dumb. Akabane just laughed at that. "Well, Gremory, I think is kinda paradoxal calling yourself a King and a Princess in the same time. I mean, does this nickname means that you're a hunter of a sorts?"
"Huh~? What do you mean, Ichijou-kun?" Of course she wouldn't understand that reference. She can be just as naïve as smart, never the two at the same time.
"Nothing, nothing. That nickname is pretty cool, I guess."
"Hu, Huh! Yeah!" And she smiled. Somehow, I didn't grunt at that one. Gremory just turned around from her notebook to Akabane. "What about you, ninetails? Already finished your's?"
"Uh-Huh. Here it is." And she opened her own book and showed us what was written on it.
.
[WIFE] (reading as "Akabane Yoko")
.
"Wait, ninetails, you wrote your own name and read it as in 'wife'?" Gremory asked, reading the ideograms and the hiragana on them. I was also kinda confused by this, but when she turned around and licked her lips again to me, I had an idea what she meant by that.
"Almost, Gremory. What I meant is that my wife can be on top of me anytim-..."
*CHOP!*
"Denied!" I chopped her on head. She just shrugged it off and turned to a new page, a new name written on it.
"How about this one?"
.
[AKABANE] (reading as "Ichijou")
.
"My name?!"
"Yeah, or rather, cowgir-..."
*CHOP!*
"Also denied! Seriously, Akabane!"
"Okay. If that is not for the liking of my wife, then maybe I'll go with that one." She again turned to another page, with a new name.
.
[APPLE.] (Reading as "curry")
.
"A-Apple? As in the fruit? And on top of curry, for that?"
"Uh-Huh. I like apples on top of my curry. It makes them yummier."
"Akabane, you didn't understand the meaning of the reunion at all, did you?" And now it was Gremory time to be miserable, Falling on her knees and silently crying. After that, I'd also be devastated. So much nonsense, I wonder why I'm not creazy already. Well, with that, maybe my name can cheer her up, even if its just a little bit.
"Hey, Gremory, you didn't read mine yet." I said, passing my open notebook for her. She reached for it and took a quick glance at it.
.
[HELL STAR DRAGON.] (reading as "Red demon monarch that crosses the universe.")
.
BOOOOOOOOOOMM!
"WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAHHHH...!"
And before I knew it, Gremory screamed and blasted herself out of the janitor's locker room, my notebook apparently shooting fire out of its page at her out of pure adrenaline and power. She knocked herself out, and opened a crack on the wall. Two holes and a crack. We're gonna be so fine in fixing those...
"And~... You won." She had a quick recovery, and walked to me, putting a hand on my left shoulders and cryig tears of Joy. The only thing I could do was... Nothing. "You won. I can teach you no more. You already surpass me. Congratulations."
"Hah...?"
"Hey, ninetails, let's clap for him~. He deserves it. Weeeh~...!" And both of them start clapping at me. Gremory is freaking me out a little, while Akabane is happily joining her in the clapping session. I think I blushed at that one. Maybe It's because the only things my sisters ever say about is how 'unmanly', 'perverted' and 'useless' I am. They say I'm a great cook, though. It's a thing, I guess. "Wew~... Ichijou-kun~! Our red dragon hero~!"
"My wife is the best in the universe... Swing."
"Oh, c'mon, guys. Stop."
"Aw~... Isn't that cute? My future wife is blushing."
"No! I'm not!"
"Ahahahah~... Ichijou-kun is also a shy rabbit. How cute."
"S-Shut up~...!"
"Isn't that adorable? Since when the red dragon starts choosing cute and awkward boys as hosts?"
"I said...!"
And I froze the moment the fourth and unknown party member join the conversation. Somehow, the voice didn't came from either the exit, the window or even in between the cleaning material, but from the ceiling!
"Up there!" Akabane said, pointing right above our heads, and so we did. At first, we didn't see anything out of normal, just a blank colourless ceiling. However, under closer inspection, a thing, almost invisible outline forming a square turned itself visible to us. A side lifted from the up floor, and a head popped out of it.
"Yo." A girl with unkept and wild green hair and doll-like features spoke, grinning at us. Soon, she pushed one of the ends of her invisible cape(at least it looked like one to me.) and did a flip in plain air, landing in front of us, like a real ninja. "Hey there, new Gremory Group. How's it going?"
"Wow! A ninja!" Gremory said, beaming with excitment. My blonde... Husband only puffed her cheeks, while sharping her own eyes, turning them more rufian-like.
"Tch. She's also something else. To be left unnoticed even by my senjutsu..." Akabane spoke, gripping firmly to my arm. The new figure, who was with the sleeves of her Kuoh uniform wrapped up to her shoulders, smiled.
"Yes. Annabelle Hellsing is my name, and I'm a vampire-ninja hybrid. A thousands pleasures to meet you all." She said, smiling in a way a single, shiny and pointy teeth was showing to us. Wait, Hellsing?
"Uh~... Ms. Hellsing? I thought the Hellsing family was a family of vampire-hunters, not... Well, Vampires." I lifted a hand to pick her attention, and she giggle at that.
"Silly, silly red dragon. This was just a historical lie, a timeless falacy."
"The Carmilla faction created this lie to avoid being ridiculized when their past head was captured and made a slave by them. To think the said Queen of the Vampires was reduced to such disgraceful state for some long by them..." For the first time since I met her, Akabane was completely serious, gripping defensely in my arm, and pulling me closer. Is she fearing for me or herself? "My dear wife, don't get any closer to her. She's... Unsettling."
"Wow, wow... Calm ya' tiny boobs down, foxy. I mean no harm." The vampire... Ninja(?) spoke, opening her arms to sign she had no Weapons or intentions of hurting us, but Akabane was not convinced, in fact, she popped a vein of rage out of her head when the vampire said 'tiny boobs'. "As you might've guessed, since I'm a hybrid, the Hellsing family doesn't want anything with good ol'me."
"Wow~! So, you're really a vampire-human hybrid, right?" Gremory said.
"A vampire-NINJA hybrid, thank you very much!" And ms. Annabelle puffed her chest up, a tiny one at that to the point I don't know why she bothers with Akabane's. "Fifty-percent vampire, fifty-percent ninja, and a hundred-percent awesome!"
"But... Doesn't that mean the Hellsing family is doomed to oblivion, since there's no more pure bloods in them?" The blond ninetails fox said, hugging my arm even tighter. "Since I'm the daughter of one of the rulers of the japanese supernatural faction, I have some knowledge about what's happening around the world. And I know that there's no descendants of those anymore discounting a small single descendant."
"Ah, don't worry, mate. When I grow up, I'll take lead as the vampire King. I think papa Desmond won't have any problems in accepting me with that, and the Hellsing will be a healthy family of psychos again." The vampire-ninja said again. Crossing her arms and pointing her chin up. "Not to mention, Esther might be of his liking now."
"But, ninja, I thought dhampirs (vampires+human hybrids) were not allowed to be part of a faction, let alone lead one!" Gremory said, her expression showing a mix of surprise, concern and curiosity. I agree. From what they're saying, those Vampires seem uptight as hell. "Hell, I don't think they even consider you one of them."
"Oh, really? I didn't know that." The vampire ninja said.
"Really...?"
"Gyah, Hahahahah! I don't need to know how the world works! I just need to be awesome! As long as I'm still awesome, I don't need to know anything else!" Ms. Hellsing said, laughing it off. I dunno, from the description of what's going on, I don't see any laughing material. "Besides, I'm a vampire-ninja hybrid, not a dhampir! This means I'm just as awesome as a regular vampire, is not more!"
"Hyahahahah! You're totally right, Hell-chan!" The president of the student council Serena Sitri said...
...
...
WAIT! WHEN THE HELL DID SHE GET IN HERE?!
"Wow! Spooky!" Turning around and seeing the laughing president, Ms. Hellsing took a few steps back in our direction. Gremory, however, looked at the other raven-haired demon. They said they're childhood friends, if I recall correctly.
"Yo, Rina-chan, Tsukino-kun, Hellsing-chan and Idunnoyu-chan! I heard someone mentioning 'awesome', and I thought it was about me, so I bent time and space to get here. Well, what is it?" The president said, her arms crossed and chin up, in a pose similar to ms. Hellsing's. That lady... That lady does not know what common sense is either, right? "Nah, I'm just kidding. I was just overhearing you all and decided to check it out. I'm bored, anyway."
"Don't you have council stuff to do, prez?" I question her. She just laughed it off.
"Already did it, Tsukino-kun. Besides, if there's anything left, I'll just ask for one of my subordinates to do it for me. After all, I'm a King." And again with that sick stuff. Geez, devils are pretty possessive, aren't they? Prez dropped her usual cheerful persona and sharpened her eyes, looking at the ninja. "Boring stuff aside, I couldn't help but notice a certain black aura around this place. Not to mention, even with the chances to redeem yourself for being a hybrid by killing a high-class devil, you didn't do it. I ask why, ms. Annabelle Hellsing-chan."
"Well, I'm just here to ask a simple question to little miss Gremory." The vampire-ninja hybrid smiled slyly, turning her eyes to the Gremory girl beside me. She looked confused for a second, but then snapped her fingers in a possible realization.
"Oh! I think I know what you want, ninja." And then, out of nowhere, the redhead took off her jacket-cape-thing, and used both her hands to lift her skirt up, revealing that godawful piece of intimate underwear. "I'm wearing stripped panties today. They're cute."
*SMACK!*
"Owieee~! What was that for, Ichijou-kun?!"
"What... The FUCK, Gremory?! What kind of demented logic you used to end up with this?!" Seriously. After I smacked her head with my fist, I really want to know what kind of logic this girl follows to end up with that conclusion. No, serious, I want to know! It must be on such level of complexity my head might explode from Sheer enlightment. It's amazing!
"Well, as much as I love to see some panties myself, I'm not here for that... Yet, Gremory." The ninja said, smiling. "Actually, I'm more interested in asking you if you want ol'lil' me into your peerage."
"Huh. A vampire. Just like Lady Rias' peerage. I have to say, I'm impressed." Prez said, scratching her cheek. "I bet you want a ninja in your peerage, right, Rina-chan?"
"Woooow! This must be the best day of my life!" The redhead screamed at the top of her lungs, gripping me by the shirt and shaking me like I'm some kind of stress Raggety Ann. Actually, that'd be pretty cool. A ninetails and a ninja. I wonder if we're gonna have a rapper and a giant octopus in it. Releasing me from the neckbreaking shake, Berolina walked to the ninja and extended an arm for her. "Well, then, welcome to the family! What piece you want to be?! Rook?! Bishop?! A pawn? Do you like checkers? Do you swear complete loyalty to me?!"
*COMBO! DOUBLE•SMACK!*
"You're beIng rude again, Gremory!"
"Seriously, Rina-chan, we've already talk about this."
"Owie~...!" Was the only response me and ms. President got after our combo attack to Gremory's head. Huh, maybe there's some devils with a sense of ridiculous in the real world. I'm glad. Regaining her composture and now being more careful with her words, the redhead stood up and said: "but, yeah, I'll love to have you into my peerage."
"Huh~... Actually, I have an idea, dear Gremory."
"Huh...?" And before we knew it, the ninja took a step back and stood up in a nearby chair, sitting on it soon after. She crossed her legs and, smiling devilishly, spoke.
"Since I want to be the very best vampire, I must hang around strong people. However, from what I'm seeing, only ms. President and ms. Ninetails have a level of power I'd rather avoid to go against. You and the red dragon, on the other hand, have zero sense in demonic energy. I can't even smell a flake of power from you two."
"Huuuuh! Who are you calling zero-sense-of-demonic-energy?!" Gremory sharpened her eyes and start waving her arms up and down, pouting and whinning like a spoiled brat. For me? I'm kinda hurt. No joke. "I'm a Gremory! Descendant of Venelana Bael, Sirzechs and Milicas Gremory and wielder of the power of Destruction, making me also a Bael child!"
"So was Lord Sairaorg Bael, yet, he only reached glory after a long Road, and lived no much soon after." She snickered at that, while Gremory snapped, yelling... Things at the ninja, being held by prez, while screaming and struggling in between her arms. For some reason, that comment really pissed me off, but better not think too much of it. "However, being a Gremory, not to mention also a Bael, means you, maybe, inheirted the superior genes of your ancestors. The power of destruction. The fearsome unique ability of the Bael clan, passed down to the Gremory family after the marriage of Venelana Gremory, the ability Lord Sairaorg Bael... No, Lord Sairaorg Asmodeus lacked, maybe the only thing missing in a faster ascend to the highest demonic ranks for him."
"Uh-Huh! Uh-Huh! It's good that you know that! Don't mess with me if you know that, you poopy-head ninja!" And Gremory, like a real child, stuck her tongue out and blew a raspberry. Man, talking about immaturity. Ms. Hellsing laugh it off and turned to me.
"Now, about the red dragon lad." She began. "The sacred gear Boosted Gear, the gauntlet of the dragon emperor. A mid-tier Longinus, with enough power to kill a god, with the Spirit of the red Welsh dragon Ddraig sealed in it. It's previous user being the famous red booby dragon King, Hyoodou Issei, the only demon in history to reject the position of Lucifer in the underworld, and the hero of the three worlds. Too bad his Spirit was destroyed and his existence wipped during his fight with..."
"That's enough, Hellsing. We're not allowed to say that!" My... Husband said, stepping in front of the vampire lady and giving her a stern stare. Hellsing just shrugged it off and jumped to the door.
"Okay, fine. I'll shut up, however, please considerate the following: I'll join your peerage Gremory, however, only if you prove me It's worth hanging out with you guys." She winked at us. Gremory was the first to step in.
"What do you mean by that, ninja?!"
"If you want me in your peerage that bad, then meet me at the Gym in 10 minutes. Oh, and please, change to your cutiest panties, please."
And with that, a little tornado blew in our face, surrounding the ninja. When it was gone, she also vanished in thin air. Huh, maybe traditional ninjas are still popular. A mid-tier Longinus, my Boosted Gear is. This means there are others with as much potential as it, right? Even though mine has a dragon sealed on it. What kind of power those other ones have, I wonder.
More importantly, what kind of monster was strong enough to simply... Whipped out senpai? Not to mention this sairaorg guy, I dunno how things works in hell, but I'm pretty sure he was strong, and to be also whipped out like that is.. Just wrong. Hellsing-san said Gremory was related to him somehow, and also said he was a satan... A satan? There's more of them of them? I should really start asking gremory things, or else I'll be lost like a rainbow in the dark...
And since I'm OC MC of a DxD FF, I should really start monologuing more, ansgting about something something and finally take some level of badassness, but not now...
"Hey, Rina-chan. What are you going to do?" Snapping out of my own thoughts, prez reached a hand to Gremory and pat her on the head, in a sign of comfort. The redhead in response smiled back and shot a grin soon after. This can't be good.
"Isn't it obvious? I'll have that arrogant vampire to be my knight!"
Oh, brother...
...
...
*FLIP!*
"Honey, I'm wearing lacy panties today. I hope It's more of your liking."
*CHOP!*
"Too much information for today, thank you very much!"
And that's that for now. I dunno, this chapter was just to make jokes(?) and a small cliffhanger for an epic(?) battle in the next one. I liked how it ended up, but maybe it was kinda rushed at that. Regardless, I'm having such a good time writing this piece of DxD story. Maybe it's because of the MC, or berolina. well, nothing much to say about it, just wait for a clash in the next chapter.
EDIT: I said "Clash"... Hahahah.
stay golden, yo'all, and watch out for stalkers.
