Ok, so a couple of things. In response to the guest: I think so too, the first chapter was was a bit fast but that was mostly because I wanted to get the feeling to write it out of the way. I intend to redo it but not anytime soon, I also felt that it was kinda sort but that might just be how I spaced the paragraphs but either way, this chapter twice as long so enjoy the read. I also went to more detail in this chapter, in some parts more than others anyway. Im also not focusing too much on Issei this time either, until I write something that directly involves his reactions, you wont see much other than what I thought would be funny or appropriate for the situation. So Yeah, enjoy.
{These Brackets}: Terumi speaking
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Issei left his house a few minutes before, completely dodging his mother on his way out to she couldnt see what happened to him the other night. Issei is going far enough to ignore most of the people he would normally so hello to on his way to school. This got his neighbours to worry, but Issei just kept going until he reached school and he decided to pick up the pace a bit and started to jog towards the school.

A woman with crimson red hair, just as if not more beautiful than a blood moon on a somber and slow evening, with a buxom figure close to resembeling a wide hourglass sat at a chess board with her friend. She too had a desirable appearance. Purple-ish black hair that almost extended down to her knees, tied in a ponytail with a yellow bow with bangs going across her forehead.
Rias Gremory, the president of the Occult Research Club at Kuoh Academy, she is also the Heiresss of The House of Gremory, a noble name among the devils in the underworld, along with her closest friend and Vice-President Akeno Himejima. The two women were sitting in their club room playing a game of chess. Akeno was winning with three pawns, a bishop, two knights, and a rook while Rias only had 2 pawns and and her queen left.
"So, about this 'Saint of Kuoh', what do we think of him Rias?" Akeno asked her friend, moving her knight to I-8 taking her rook. "Honestly, i find him to be quite appealing. He's cute, caring, and above all he seems like a good person to be around. I also have the sneaking suspicion that he also may have a Sacred Gear, and a strong one at that. And because of that, I'll have to notify Sona about him, per our agreement."
Sona Sitri is the current Student Council President of Kuoh Academy and the Heiress of The Sitri Household, another noble name in the underworld. She is also Rias's childhood friend. They have an agreement that if one friend finds a worthy enough person to join their peerage they alert the other so they may both have a shot at gaining a new member. "*I'll tell Sona about him, you tell Koneko to find anymore information about him. Oh, also checkmate." These were the last words she said as she took out Akeno's poorly defended king in the middle of the chess board with her queen and went to inform Sona and directing Koneko to Akeno for her orders.

Issei had walked into school grounds, trying his best to hide his appearance from others. "{Ah, cmon kid! don't be afraid to show your face! Show em what you look like! Show em your scars, let them know that you aren't someone to be taken lightly!}" A madness and sadistic tainted voice spoke in the back of Issei's head "{Show them your POWER, make them FEAR you!}" The voice spoke louder and crazier than before. 'WHAT?! Where are you now?' Issei's eyes darted back and forth, slowly turning his head as to not draw suspicion. "{Really brat? Can't you get it through your thick head that i.m stuck in it! Ever since the 'incident' last night ive had no choice but to stay in here!}" 'Breath in, breath out, OK. let me start with an actual conversation. Who are you, exactly?' Issei had calmed himself before asking the million dollar question as he continued to walk into school when he heard a scream.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH! ISSEI DYED HIS HAIR!" a couple of his "fan-girls" all shouted in unison, calling the attention of almost everyone at the front gate of the school. People started to swarm him, at least anyone who cared or were bored and wanted to see what was up. After a decently sized crowd had appeared and started bombarding him with questions like "What happened?" "Why'd you dye green streaks in your hair?" "What happened to your eyes? They're so pretty!" "Are you ok? you look pretty pale." Issei tried to slip out of the crowd just as the bell rang for the students to go to class and Issei used this opening to bolt it to his class room, ducking, dodging, and weaving across and through anyone who tried to stop him, including some of his associates like Motohama, Matsuda, and Murayama and Katase completely leaving them to wonder if something was up with him as he sat down at his desk, still getting stares from classmates as he tried to ignore them.
Issei, being the academic star he is didn't need to pay attention to the lectures his teachers gave and instead focused on the man who is apparently stuck in his head. 'Anyway, back to what I asked earlier. Who in the blood-soaked PROTESTANT HELL are you and what are you doing in my head?' "{Wow, didn't know a shy kid like you could be so... demanding, i like it! But because you were so rude, im not gonna tell ya!}" The voice stated, a bit of amusement in his voice. 'You're right, sorry. I'm just trying to get my head around this as fast as I can, I don't want to end up in a madhouse anytime soon. So would you mind being as kind as to tell me who you are, oh great voice in my head?' Issei had apologized to the voice before asking his name again, much to the disappointment to the voice.
"{ Ugh, and here you were almost getting to like ya kid...}" the voice said with disappointment and a bit of disgust with how nice Issei was being "{ But the thing is, which one of us does that question go to? There are three of us in here after all. So kid, do you want to know me? Or the big lizard sleeping over there.?}" Issei had no response, he only pondered what the man had said. 'Me? Or the big lizard over there?' Those words stayed in his head until he snapped out of his own thoughts and decided to focus on him. 'Who are you? He who speaks with arrogance, anger, and disgust?' "{Wow, ive never been called an asshole so eloquently! Nice guessing my personality too! My name is Yuuki Terumi, the one TRUE Susano'o!}"

*Flashback*
"{I was created by the Master Unit Amaterasu as a mindless slave meant as extension of her will.}" An incomparably large machine was alone in a vast void beyond space and time. A figure appeared out of thin air, seemingly created by the machine from large clouds that where excreted from inside. The figure was a tall looking man wearing what looked like a a black suit of armor with neon green accents in shapes that resembled war paint marks and gashes in the pieces.
The boots were clawed like an eagles foot, two talons in the front on each side and a single talon centered on the back on both feet. From his knees to the base of his neck was a pair of large cloth pants lined with plates of unknown metal lined closer to his waist joining at a piece just above the pelvis letting movement unrestricted when moving. Moving up the waist was a winding pattern in the shape of melting diamonds ending with a large cross etched into the center piece. The gauntlets were standard skin tight material with guards lined on the back of his arms and pointed silver claws on the tips of the fingers and brightly shining green jewels on the back of the palms. Its mask and shoulder pauldrons resembled a shark with horns on the side of the faces, with an ominous blackish-green light in the parts that look like they're supposed to be eyes. The figure had long black hair with streaks of the green in his hair that that went to his waist and was slicked to his back with two dreads on each side of the face mask.
"{The Master Unit designated me as "The Brother Unit". We existed in an endless cycle of creation and destruction, watching countless worlds die only to be reborn again. But I grew a soul of my own and grew to despise my role at her side, so I rebelled. Severing my soul from my body, the armor I wore, in the process, losing my true power.}" The armored figure stood infront of the large machine, rage and malice filled in his voice as he shouted at it. "{ I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! I REFUSE TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN GUARD FOR YOU AND YOUR GAMES AMATERASU! If you love you precious humans so much, then lets see what happens when I show them the truth of their little lives!}" The armored figure left the machine in its void known as The Boundary for the human world to give them the revelation that would shock them, causing the Dark Great War, and killing thousands of humans.

*Flashback over*
Terumi had gone silent for a few seconds before jumping to the part before he met Issei. "{ But that's ancient history kid, lets get to the more recent stuff.}" Those were the only things he said. His words were laced with venom more potent than a Lions Mane Jelly Fish and an edge thin enough to cut through obsidian like there was nothing but air between the blade and the floor. "{ I was fighting an annoying vampiric brat and the bastard that stole my armor, trying to kill them before the brat could cast a spell.}"
*Another flashback*
Terumi was wearing a large hooded yellow cape with black markings and large rolled up silver cuffs on his arms just below the shoulder with black bandages and ribbons wrapped on both of his arms going up past his elbow. Beneath the cape was an open shirt beneath a vest that showed his bare chest, a loose black tie, two belts across his waist, and a pair of black pants and a pair of steel-toed shoes that had knives hidden in the heels, though they were extended at this point. His green hair was a short length that spiked directly up, making it look like a bed of radioactive nails and his eyes were a bright shining golden yellow, his pupils were closely slit-styled, similar to a snake.
There were two others in the room with Terumi, a small child who looked no more than 11 or 12 years old who wore a poofy black, red, and purple dress with a large red bow wrapped around her straight collar that covered her neck. She held a parasol with large stuffed animal features that shown when the frills of it were flexed out and what looked like a bat familiar in the shape of an oversized stuffed animal at her side, floating next to her head. The girl had long blonde hair that was tied in pig tails in ribbons that made her look like a rabbit. She had pale white skin and half-closed eye lids, the colour of her eyes were a deep maroon colour, not dissimilar to the colour of blood.
The man standing next to thew child wore a suit of armor almost exactly like what Terumi once held, albeit slightly different. The armor was now an untainted and pure white with silver lining and notably missed the black and green colours it once possessed. The mask and pauldrons missed the shark like features in favor of a more plain and empty white slab that was slit in the area were the jaw was horizontally and was pointed forward, away from the body. The horns on the mask were replaced with what looked like a pair of wolf ears, with lines of metal going across the base of them. The shoulder pauldrons looked more like rhinos with red eyes and a horn that protruded from the furthest end of the piece on both sides and wore a large red and gold sheath on his back. The armored figure's hair was a glinting silver colour like a snow wolves fur that went down to the floor. He also brandished a large sword that he held with both hands, it had a golden pommel with a deep green-coloured gem in the middle. It's Handle was lined with black cloth and the guard was solid a pair of solid gold rhombus's that lead to the blade that was similar to most katanas.
"You will be slain by my hands Terumi! Lady Rachel, prepare the spell!" The armored man said, gripping sword tighter as he leapt at Terumi, raising it to slash at it down at him. "For those you have and will have slain, I will be you Judge, Jury, and Executioner!" Were the words the man yelled before swinging at Terumi, his body making a circular motion before clashing with an ominous mass of green chains that protruded from small portals around Terumi's body. The figure recovered from his suspension in the air with an axe kick after circling his body again, breaking the chains and knocking Terumi Back.
"{Not bad Hakuman, but not good enough!}" Terumi swung his right hand behind him and ran full speed and the Armored figure, now known at Hakuman, forming a large sickle like blade and slashed at him from bottom to top. "{Serpents Cursed Sting!}" was all he said before his blade hit Hakuman causing him to launch into the air and fall back to the ground. Terumi grabbed him by the neck with both hands as two ethereal snakes surrounded his arms and began to pump venom into Hakuman. This caused him immense pain and caused him spurt blood out of the pointed mask he wore. Terumi, still holding Hakuman, through him in the air shouting again.
"{Screeches of the Condemned!}" As Terumi threw Hakuman in the air, Terumi summoned another chain. The tip looked like a snake's head, opening to reveal barbed and pointed teeth before being sent at Hakuman. The chain connected with Hakuman's torso, biting him as Terumi pulled on the chain, making him leap into the air, striking him as he got close making Hakuman spit out blood from the injury he received. This was one of his best attacks, "Screeches of the Condemned" Terumi would sent an opponent into the air and the attack them with chains and knives repeatedly several times before soaring above their head and summoning a large snake to swallow them whole from above then slamming them onto the ground.
Terumi had finished Hakuman, leaving him unconscious in a small puddle of his own blood before going towards Rachel. "{Well, well. Looks like the little rabbit has no more friends to sacrifice to the snake. You know what that means! Time to die!}" Terumi was about to strike Rachel before getting judo thrown by Hakuman to the other side of the room. Hakuman called to Rachel "NOW LADY RACHEL! CAST IS NOW!" achel spoke no words, only nodded and looked at Terumi who was still getting up from the impact of getting thrown.
"{And here I thought you were down for the count, you filthy thief! Guess a cockroach always finds ways to keep kicking.}" Terumi hissed at Hakuman with loathing and disgust spewing out of his mouth before refocusing on Rachel, who had already cast the spell at Terumi. " I cast thee away to the farthest place, were none can reach, and you cannot escape! He from the bleakest womb, whose nature is a perversion of his former duty, I cast you away!" Rachel sent the spell towards Terumi in a blinding blue light. After the light faded away, Terumi was no longer in the room, or the realm for that matter.
*Kuoh Town 11pm-ish*
*Flashback end*
"..." Issei was silent for a minute before speaking again. " So what you're telling me... is that... You are the god Susano'o, bent on the destruction of the goddess Amaterasu? Because you didn't like being... Her guard?" The look of confusion of Issei's face was a stupid one, like looking at a string of completely stupid and unexpected actions accuring at the same time while you only think "What. The. Fuck?" Terumi stifled his laughter at Issei's face before continuing. "{ That is an oversimplification of events but yes, I killed thousands because I didn't like working for my sister while she played her games...}" Terumi had made a face of anger towards a being universes away, still feeling the hatred and anger he did that day.
*RIIIIIIING*
Issei snapped back to reality after hearing the loud school bell signal the end of the day. He stood up and gathered his things before leaving school for the day, dreading what his mom would say about his look. His father on the other hand wouldn't really care though, he never cared for someones appearance as long as they behaved respectfully and honestly, though Issei thought that even he would ask questions about it.
"{Hey, kid.}" "Yeah?" "{Someone's following us.}" "I know, i don't really care though, I have had my fair share of stalkers. Though none of them had actually tried anything so i doubt I have to worry about it. But hey since your here, would you mind telling me about this "Gift" of yours is? Ive been stuck on it since this morning.' Issei had asked Terumi, focusing on what was in front of him instead of something that happens on a bi-weekly basis.
"{The 'Gift' im referring to is my power, 'The chains of the Ouroboros Serpent'. They are an infinite number of bladed chains with a never ending length, as the name says, they can go all the way around the world and bit its own tail, A.K.A, you. They can also appear as ethereal snakes of innumerable shapes and sizes}" Terumi made his explanation as simple as possible so Issei could understand but before Issei could reply any further, he was stopped by some one calling his name.
"Uhm... excuse me... but are you Issei Hyodou?" A shy and girly voice spoke behind Issei, making him turn around to see a girl in a school uniform, but not a Kuoh uniform as Iseei had expected. Issei was surprised to say the least. He knew he was most likely being stalked by someone but never expected anyone to actually get the courage to talk to him. What he saw was a girl wearing a school uniform. She had long purple-ish black hair that went just below her shoulders, her eyes were a dark brown colour with the feeling of innocence behind them. Was decently tall though still shorter than Issei by maybe a foot or so.
"Yes? Who's asking?" Issei was still shocked that someone had spoken to him out of the blue, he didnt even know the girl let alone recognize her. "Uhm, my name is Yuuma Amano, I wanted to know if you could... uhm..." The girl paused for a moment before speaking again " I was wondering if you could go out with me!" Issei was shocked but answered quickly so he could leave, he still wanted to Terumi about his chains before he went back to sleep.
Chapter End.
