Edited January 14, 2019.

Did I really have to spell it out for you guys that Issei's mom was pregnant? I thought I left enough hints in the second chapter for at least some of you to figure it out.

Kind of surprised how everyone is commenting more on the whole sex tape scandal rather than the fact that Issei made half a million dollars selling his collection. Not to mention the obvious fact that he has black mail material on buyers such as Gates and Trump, especially with the upcoming election. FYI, I had this idea long before the 2016 election race got started so no I am not being political…yet.

Let's just get to the reviews.

bloodyredrose1994: I think the reason some people try to bring Gabriel in is because of what it would mean. Think about it, Issei being with the strongest and most beautiful woman of heaven, that idea is definitely going to get fanfics going. As for me, I am not immediately adding her to the harem. I am simply saying that she and Issei will have a stronger relationship than in cannon DxD storyline. Don't worry; Grayfia is taboo for me too. The opening theme will change as the story progresses. In fact, as I get closer to my own "movie special" chapters, I might try to throw in teasers of what is to come through the opening like they do in the actual show.

IdeaPerson1097: Thanks for your support. I definitely agree that the higher level Phantoms could use this method of powering up as a way to gain control over others. Regarding American drivers, I was not actually thinking about the Mach Driver. I was actually thinking about how while Issei and Haruto are in New York investigating all those kidnapping, both the US and Japanese government will send their own help and let's be honest here, we know that there are Americans who are aware of Kamen Riders. I even plan to involve the American helicopter pilot form the Eternal movie. Do you really think that America would not see them as a potential threat to the country and thus attempt counter measures among which is creating their own Rider system? That's part of the reason why I chose ABC's Castle since it is a show where conspiracy and secrets are its bread and butter. Not to mention there actually was an episode involving agents from an unknown group who seem to know certain classified secrets. Want more details? Just wait until I post more in DxD Extra.

dragon rider: Regarding my jokes, I won't be filling my chapters with them on purpose. Just here and there where Issei or others make sarcastic remarks like say, "sure, do it the American way", and I do plan for there to be a joke eventually about how devils who have territory in America have an easier time of making contracts. As for lawyers, it'll just be your standard Family Guy style jokes about lawyers being devils or stuff like that. Though I will go ahead and tell you that there will be a high ranking Phantom who will be posing as a lawyer and using that position to further their goals and place Gates in locations that are out of sight. In fact, he will manipulate events so that the Chief Prosecutor/Defense Attorney (haven't really decided where to make this guy stand) gets arrested on a case that Issei is helping the cops with allowing the Phantom to take his spot. Also, that guy will be the one who deals with Foundation X. I understand where you are coming from. I myself am a naturalized citizen of America who has been living in Texas since I was 2.5 years old and I have a few cousins who are going into law, not to mention my brother's goal of becoming a diplomat. I'm just taking into account that the characters are Japanese and one of them has actually travelled through the states. Issei's mom being pregnant will play a more prominent role later in my series. Sorry about the kendo club. Frankly, I was focusing so much on his interaction with M&M. While the idea with Ogre is similar, it's quite different. Ogre actually absorbed the abilities of his meals. In my idea, the Phantoms just gains major power up in a short amount of time. All new powers gained from using this method will just be a result of evolution. Not to mention it will be hard and risky for ringed wizards to enter the Underworlds of the sacrificial Gates. I'm sure you can figure out why. As for Murayama and Issei being childhood friends, not necessarily. Issei's mom, Keiko Tanaka (look her up on the Amagami SS character list), was friends with Murayama's dad, Junichi Tachibana, through a mutual friend and they were also classmates. So, they weren't necessarily close enough that their kids would know each other as children. Also, the locale of DxD is different from Amagami SS (at least I think so), so it's more of a case of classmates running into each other after some time. By the time this happens, Issei is already a pervert so I'm going to say middle school is where they first meet. So no, Murayama and Issei are not childhood friends. I don't think I'm going to do interaction with Tomari before he becomes Drive, the time line is complicated enough for me without involving riders after Gaim. I will definitely bring in the Den-0 crew in a hilarious chapter, and I'm considering doing a cameo with a young Miharu and his trauma that causes him to be afraid of water in the first place, just a possibility. The Kiva crew will definitely show up in Kyoto but that's a long way to go.

I was going to introduce Kirishima Yuzuki, the heroine of A Town Where You Live, as one of Issei's old teachers and the one who was actually worried about him. However, due to my dad screwing up my laptop, I have decided to put that off for later.

I do not own the Kamen Rider franchise or High School DXD.

Things such as chants and data on the magic rings were obtained through Kamen Rider wiki, High school DXD wiki, and English translations of High School DxD volumes 1-18. I do however claim ownership to original spell and transformation rings as well as original techniques.

Chapter 7: First Days are always the Hardest

In a secret room in Heaven's Wheel…

It was late into the night when most people would be off work and be with their families. However, for one Gabriel of Heaven's Wheel, her family was her work. Not the work of running a restaurant mind you, but the work of running Heaven and other duties associated with being one of the last supreme Archangels of the Lord. Gabriel had no qualms about her work; it was what she was created for after all. However, there were days, like today, where she wished for the simple days where she was a messenger between God and Prophet Muhammad peace-be-upon-him. Back then things were simple and, she had to admit, she had fewer emotional attachments to humans. Now with the current status of Heaven, she had no choice but to be onsite, in one of the most successful polytheistic nations despite the rise of the three Abrahamic religions, to personally complete her two duties.

"I have scoured the entire country. There are no remains of the Helheim plants, not even in Zawame city, the original focal point." Gabriel, still wearing her owner outfit, said to a 3-D projection of a handsome young-looking man with shoulder-length blonde hair. If it weren't for the fact that the projection was in full color and coming from a magic circle, one would think that this was a scene straight from the Star Wars franchise. Where do you think George Lucas got the idea?

"Thank you Gabriel." spoke the blonde figure. "Once again, I apologize for making you go through this. I know it can be quite exhausting to erase memories and evidence on such a large scale."

"It's all right brother Michael. This is the original reason I was placed here in Japan." Gabriel responded. "Frankly, it's a good thing we have been doing this for years. If certain details about this latest incident had reached the masses, there would be much unrest especially within our own faction."

"Indeed," Michael nodded as his expression became somber. "To think there was a snake going from world to world bringing with it a Fruit of Knowledge more powerful than the one that was grown by our Father. It makes me wonder if perhaps the other deities were aware of this being. It's especially disturbing how he knew about our cursed brother when I confronted him. He's just as dangerous as that Narutaki fellow who claims he's a prophet."

"At the very least," Gabriel interjected, "we must be grateful of the outcome. Though I must ask, why do we not establish proper contact with the Riders? It would make it easier to cover their actions and we would benefit from having allies as powerful as them."

"Gabriel." Michael said sternly, silencing his sister. "I understand what you are saying, but having as little contact with the Riders is what Ichigou and I agreed to years ago. Besides, many of the organizations they have fought took the form of some church or cult, so it would be natural for them to be distrustful of us. Especially considering the fact that none of them can truly be called human anymore. If word were to get out that we were siding with 'monsters', the results would be catastrophic. Then there is the recent incident."

"Do you mean Kouta Kazuraba ascending to godhood?"

"There is that, but actually I was referring to something that happened in England about six months ago."

"And it concerned the Kamen Riders?"

"We're still investigating, but we think that an angel may have attacked Wizard."

"The one with the Philosopher's stone?!" Gabriel cried with a hint of panic in her voice. "Anyone who possesses it can easily go toe to toe with our most skilled exorcists, but for a Rider to have one, that would make him equal to us Seraphim, at least! Who would dare challenge him knowing that?"

"That's just the thing, we don't really know." Seeing Gabriel's confused look, Michael elaborated. "Our system briefly detected the signature of an angel in combat in the Stone Hedge area. By the time we made it to the site, the fight was over and there was no one there. Based on the readings we picked up and the damage that was actually done, whoever Wizard was fighting was hiding their angelic energy. It was only when they received a major amount of damage that messed with whatever was hiding the energy were we able to detect it. Most likely, that's when the battle ended with the attacker retreating. Whoever they were, they did not want Heaven to notice them."

"Could it have been one our Fallen brethren?"

"Doubtful. The system no longer responds to Fallen Angels. As such, we are looking into all Angels who are either out on missions or not busy at all. There are also those who have not been seen since the Great War who we cannot account for."

"This is definitely troublesome." Gabriel sighed as she rubbed her temples.

"For now, just continue to monitor the situation where you are." Michael said. "After erasing the memories of the Global Freeze and the Helheim fruits from the rest of the world, Japan is the only place you should be concerned with." With that the magic circle disappeared and with it the hologram.

"Looks like my requests won't be going through any time soon." Gabriel said as she leaned back in her chair. "I wonder what Issei is up to."

Speaking of Issei.

Back at the Hyoudou household…

Dinner was once again a quiet affair for Issei and Raynare. However, the cause of the silence was different. When Issei walked inside his house, imagine his surprise to see Raynare watching the sex tapes he had accidentally discovered; and based on what she said, she had watched more than one of them. The horror! Then she started talking about how she, a Fallen Angel, was actually impressed by some of the things she saw. Even more Horror! Issei promptly took all the tapes and DVDs that Raynare watched, threw them back into the box, taped it up, and shoved it into the attic. Afterwards, he locked himself in his room. For all his bravado when confronting Sona on the issue of light resistance, he needed to recharge after being out in the sun for so long. Combining that with the mental stress brought on by just thinking about the tapes made him extremely exhausted. By the time he woke back up he could smell food coming from the kitchen. Without a word, he came down to the table and started eating, with Raynare starting only after he had.

Which now brings us to present time where the two have finished eating and taking care of the dishes and are now sitting on opposite sides of the couch. Throughout the entire meal, not a word was spoken. Every time Issei looked up, he saw Raynare's eyes go back to her plate. As the silence continued, Issei decided that enough was enough.

"Can we agree to not speak a word about what happened earlier?" Raynare, who seemed to perk up from just hearing Issei speak, nodded her head eagerly. Smiling at the sight, Issei started talking about what happened today. Without even realizing it, he started talking like his dad did whenever he did the same, with Raynare holding on to every word like it was her new scripture while slowly scooting closer and closer to Issei. Right after he finished talking about the events at Kuoh, which made Raynare giggle as she imagined how he saved devil heiresses, the doorbell rang. Not expecting anyone, Issei got up to check who it was, making Raynare pout in disappointment, and was surprised to see Koneko and Kiba standing there with bags full of what looked like flyers. After blinking to make sure his eyesight was working, he realized there was a third person that he did not recognize, a blue haired girl who was a bit small in the bust department wearing the school uniform.

"Whaddya want?" Issei sighed as he made room for the visitors to come in.

"Don't be like that Hyoudou-kun." Kiba replied with his trademark smile as he stepped in with the two girls following him. Even though he had suppressed his perverted self, Issei still found that smile to be annoying, making him want to smack the pretty boy for acting too familiar with him. With that, he decided to shift his attention to the new comer.

"And you are…"

"Tsubasa Yura, reincarnated devil in the service of Sona Sitri and a member of the Student Council."

"Seriously?"

"Is there a problem?" Tsubasa questioned as she narrowed her eyes.

"Well when she explained it to me the other day I did not really have time to think about it. But now that I do…" Issei began as he turned and walked towards the living room. "If all the members of the Student Council are members of Sona's peerage, doesn't that mean she's undermining the purpose of voting for Student Council representatives? Isn't that similar to what other dictators have done in the past. Heck, I think that's what Putin is doing with his control over Russia."

"I'll ignore the insult seeing as you have a semi-valid point." Tsubaki said through grit teeth. When Issei looked back at her, he noticed she was carrying a stack of papers. Arriving back in the living room, Issei was mildly amused by the glaring contest between Kiba and Raynare, who clearly refused to move from her spot on the couch, though he had no idea as to why Koneko was looking around his kitchen. He was going to ignore her, but then she walked right up to him and pulled on his sleeve.

"Sempai, where are the donuts?" That one sentence got everyone giving her a weird look.

"Koneko…" Kiba began, "Did you, by chance, agree to come with me for the sole purpose of getting more of those donuts?" When she nodded her head, there were various reactions. Kiba sighed, Raynare started giggling, and Tsubasa face-palmed herself. As for Issei, he just simply grabbed the nearest notepad and wrote on the top sheet before tearing it off and handing it to Koneko.

"This is the number and the twitter account for Hungry Donuts 2. They're at a different spot every day, but they're still pretty easy to find."

"Thank you very much." Koneko said before snatching the paper, setting her bag on the table, and pulling out her phone and quickly entering in the information.

"So, why don't we get down to business?" Issei asked as he sat back down in his original spot, making Raynare blush with happiness. "Who wants to go first?"

"I will." Tsubasa responded, sitting in one of the opposite chairs and sliding her stack of papers over to Issei. "Since you plan to return to school, these are the forms you need to fill out." As Issei flipped through the forms, she continued speaking. "Kaichou would like you to fill these out now so I can take them back and hopefully get you back in school by the day after tomorrow, Thursday." Taking the stack, Issei began flipping through while grabbing the pen he used earlier.

"While you're taking care of that, I'll explain why we're here." Kiba began as he pulled out the stacks of fliers from the bags he and Koneko brought. Taking a brief look at them, Issei realized they were the same as the one he was handed two days ago by that girl in the cosplay outfit. By the time Kiba finished explaining how the flyers were distributed and how they worked, Issei had signed all the forms and handed them back to Tsubasa.

"Normally this work is reserved for newbie devils that don't have a familiar yet." Kiba continued, setting the other bags on the table along with the locator device. "Although you do have familiars, Buchou decided that you should do it anyway, just so that if anyone asks you can say you did it. She also mentioned that it's a good way to get devil work done while you're driving around."

"Right." Issei lazily answered as he grabbed a pamphlet and examined it. "So how long am I going to have to do this?"

"Just a couple of days. In fact depending on how well you do, you might not have to do it after starting school."

"Better get to it then." Issei said tossing the flyer in his hand back onto the stack. Then, as his guests got ready to leave, he directed his attention to Raynare and said, "You might want to change into something more comfortable."

"Wait what?" Raynare stuttered, surprised to hear Issei talking to her again and not sure she had heard correctly.

"You're coming with me." was his casual reply, ignoring the mixed looks of confusion, amusement, and boredom coming from the other devils in the room. "Since you're going to help me out in the future, we might as well get used to working together. Besides, I'm pretty sure the side effects have worn off by now." Hearing this, Raynare nearly squealed like a fangirl before running to her room. As Issei gathered his personal effects, Kiba noticed that he had not touched the stack of papers.

"Aren't you forgetting something Issei?" he asked with an edge teasing in his voice. Instead of saying anything, Issei simply scanned a ring on his belt, Connect; Please!. Kiba was barely able to block the hand that appeared in front of him and tried to poke his eyes out. Retracting his hand from the portal, Issei gave Kiba a smug look as if he had won something. The blonde was about to respond when Raynare, in her Yuma disguise, practically jumped down the stairs wearing a casual outfit.

"I'm ready Issei!" she chirped, completely unaware of the testosterone that was starting to buildup in the room.

"Good." Issei said as he smiled at Yuma. Then he turned back to his guests. "Once these guys leave we can get going." Taking the hint, the other three students began to leave, though Koneko had to tug on Kiba's sleeve to get him moving. Once they had left and the door was locked, Issei and Raynare went to the garage, got on the Machinwinger and drove off into the night.

This time, Issei was more prepared for the sensation of breasts on his back, so it was not as distracting though it did cause his perverted side to stir. Raynare, meanwhile, was basking in the warmth of Issei's back and the romance behind their late night drive. Driving around, Issei pointed out areas that usually had a lot of people such as parks and shopping areas, stopping only to drop of a stack of flyers, (Connect; Please!) at the locations indicated by the demonic tool he had been given. By the time they had gotten home, he had already delivered nearly half the flyers he had been given. When going to bed, Raynare went to the room that Issei had prepared for her, leaving him alone in his bed. Though he would not admit it, he felt kind of lonely that night.

The following day was pretty tame. After breakfast, Issei and Raynare drove back out and took care of the rest of the flyers while on patrol. At the same time, Issei introduced Raynare to his other familiars. It seemed like Garuda warmed up to her immediately, but Issei dismissed it as him seeing things. The only highlight was when they had lunch at a family restaurant called Wagnaria, the very same place where they shared a dessert during their date a few days back.

After the waitress, who for some reason was carrying around a katana, delivered their food, Issei brought up something that had been bothering him for a while.

"What do you plan on doing?" he asked Raynare as he started eating his steak.

"What do you mean?" she responded before taking a bite out her pasta dish.

"While I'm at school. I mean, it's not like you need to be on patrol 24/7. With the four of you, we can actually set up rotate patrols. Plus, I think you'd be more useful for actual fights instead of just flying around."

"Really?"

"Yeah. With your help, it will be easier to get bystanders out of the way and take care of the Ghouls, allowing me to focus more on the Phantom. Plus, if we need to, you could grab the Gate and get them away from the fight."

"Huh, never thought of it that way."

"But like I said, what are you going to do when you don't have patrol or fights? It's not like you can just stay cooped up in the house for the rest of the time."

"I don't really know." Raynare said with a complicated expression on her face as she sipped her drink. "Back at the Grigori, the most we could do while on standby was mess around with some humans, but it doesn't look I can do that now."

"Depends of the person." Issei said with a smirk.

"Seriously?"

"That and so long as you don't do anything too bad. Besides, it might come in handy when dealing with Phantoms."

"Riight." Raynare replied with skepticism. "Anyway, other than that, there wasn't really anything else to do out on the field. Kind of hard to do much while trying to remain hidden, especially in territories belonging to devils or other factions."

"True, but I don't think you need to worry about that here." Issei replied casually as he drained his glass. "You're my familiar so you should be fine from the devils' side of things. As for the Gods of Japan, I doubt they'll mind what the ally of a Kamen Rider does."

"How can you be so sure? You didn't even know they existed till recently."

"That's exactly why I think so." Seeing her confusion, Issei elaborated. "As far as I know, the Shinto deities have not bothered my sempai despite some of the crazy stuff that has happened. Seriously, Tokyo almost became monster city yet they did not step in, and that just him. I think that's pretty telling. Just don't do anything in a shrine or temple; that might actually get a rise out of them."

"Give me some time to think about it, okay."

"Take all the time you need. For now, let's get back to work."

Nothing happened during the rest of the drive. They got home and had a normal dinner and ended the night by watching TV together; Issei had a lot of catching up to do. As they went to bed, Issei felt a bit of excitement knowing he was going back to school the next day. In fact, he almost forgot to set his alarm.

'Good thing I got rid of that old one with the various wake up calls.' were his last thoughts before he drifted off into dream world.

Next morning…

Turns out that setting up the alarm did not really help Issei. By the time Raynare managed to wake him up, he had only 10 minutes to get to school. Realizing this, he rushed to get his uniform on and had a brief moment to see himself in the mirror. Though a normal person would see the same Issei from six months ago going to school, he saw something else. He saw a kid trying to reclaim a life that would never be the same. Then he realized he was still running late so the self-reflection crap would have wait. He barely had time to swallow a bowl of cereal and say goodbye to Raynare.

Issei was originally going to just walk to school but now that he was running late he had no choice but to take the Machinwinger.

'I know this is going to cause me headaches later, but I don't really care right now!'

Fortunately for Issei, traffic was rather easy so he was able to make it before the gates closed. Unfortunately, there were still quite a few students at the gate and courtyard who saw him on his bike. Many of them recognized him as the mysterious figure who had given their revered Rias a ride 3 days ago. As such, they took chase after him to learn his identity and possible harass him.

Now, if Issei had planned on going to school on his motorcycle, he would have made plans to park in the woods and store it with the Connect spell. But Issei wasn't thinking like a fighter trying to stay unnoticed and not cause a scene. He was thinking like your everyday high school student trying to avoid being late for class. Parking at the bike rack was a habit from before, definitely not the best for this instance. Though he did not realize this until after he took off his helmet, looked around, and saw the crowd that had gathered staring at him.

'Well shit.' Issei thought to himself as he saw the gears turning in everyone else's heads. Deciding that silence was the best course of action, Issei walked right past all the gawkers. Amongst them was a member of the kendo club who recognized him and squeaked out, "It's Issei Hyoudou!" Hearing this, all the other bystanders, at least those who were second and third years, finally realized why he looked so familiar and why the sight of him looking awesome on a motorcycle seemed so wrong. Then they realized that Issei was the one who Rias flirted with right (at least that's how they saw it) in front of the school. By the time they could rally their anger, the mage was already in the building, far away from the potential mob.

Later…

"Alright class we have a student joining us today." spoke the generic looking homeroom teacher to the class. Frankly, they weren't actually listening. It was more like they were waiting for him to stop talking so they could assault the target of their attention with questions. "He's been out of school for a while due to personal problems, so it would be appreciated if you gave him space as he readjusts to the environment. Go on Issei-kun."

"Sup." Issei casually said as he gave the class a small wave. "I'll keep this brief. Some of you know me from before, some of you don't. Either way, don't expect me to act the same as I did 6 months ago. I have more pressing priorities and being a pervert can wait till I'm an old man with nothing better to do." Before the teacher could even say anything, the class erupted in to a frenzy of yelled statements and questions such as.

"Like hell we can believe that!"

"This has got to be a trap!"

"What the hell is your relationship with Gremory-onee-sama?!"

"Who do you think you are driving a bike like that?!"

"I bet you killed your parents and made it look like an accident!"

"WHO FUCKIN SAID THAT!" Issei yelled at that last one, his voice silencing everyone, even people in the neighboring classrooms. There was a moment of silence, not even the crickets were chirping, during which curious onlookers had gathered at the doors of the classroom, one Yuuto Kiba among them.

"Maybe you didn't get the message the first time." Issei growled. "Who! Fuckin! Said! That!" With the last word, he scratched his nails along the chalkboard behind him making everyone cringe in pain as the god-awful noise hit their ears. Instantly, everyone in the classroom pointed towards Matsuda and Motohama who were huddling in the corner and shaking like crazy.

"Well well." Issei said with a mad grin on his face, taking slow steps towards the frightened duo. "It seems like you didn't learn you lesson last time." Stopping a few feet in front of them, he crouched down to look them dead in the face. "Now then, how should I punish you this time?" he asked with a mad cackle. It was at this moment that Kiba thought that Issei looked like a true devil.

Meanwhile…

The abandoned church was so out of the way no one ever took notice of it unless it was pointed out to them or they were actually looking for it. Because of this, no one noticed when a figure with blue hair and crow like wings came bursting through the roof, dodging spears before heading away from the building. Certainly, no one noticed the blood and feathers that fell as the mysterious figure flew away.

Okay.

I'll let you fans decide the punishment of the perverted duo. You have three options:

They're forced to watch the video of Issei going Office Space repeatedly for a whole hour.

They try to attack Issei, he kicks them both in the nuts at the same time, then tosses them out the window like Mr. Popo in DBZA.

You give me a custom punishment for them.

I was partly lazy so I decided to skip writing out the explanation on what the fliers do. Seriously, who doesn't know it already?

It might have been redundant to have Tsubasa say Thursday, but I did it to remind myself where in the week this is happening. Just to keep track things. Do you guys think I'm rushing it by having all this crap happen in just one week?

Also, it kind of annoys me from time to time how characters can just instantly be transferred into a school without filling out any forms, so I figured that maybe that happens behind the scenes. With that in mind, I decided to use that as a way to have Issei meet Tsubasa, a potential harem member. Not to mention, I wanted to highlight how this Issei is more aware of world events than cannon Issei. No offense, but he seems like the kind of guy who would not even know who the current president of the U.S. is. Basically I wanted to make a point that Issei is more sarcastic now and has no qualms about making insults or references, even if he gets his facts wrong every now and then. Besides, I don't want anyone to think that he's acting out of character when he verbally destroys Raiser.

Hope you like what I did with Koneko. You can definitely expect her to be a regular of Hungry Donuts 2, even more than Issei and Haruto. Yes, she will eat the daily specials; there's no way Koneko would turn down any treat.

I know little about clothes. All I care about is what is a shirt, pant, etc. and for what season/weather I need them. I know even less when it comes to women's clothes. The only reason I gave that description of Yuma's clothes back in chapter 2 was to add effect for what Issei. Plus, I'd read so many others using their own descriptions so I had a general idea. Unless the clothes are for a specific occasion, I'm not going to bother trying to describe them.

The class introduction was supposed to be tame. But after deciding to put off writing Kirishima Yuzuki into the story, I ended up giving that part a life of its own. That, and I wanted to shit-stomp the perverted duo again.

This chapter was going to be longer. I started writing it about a week after posting the last one so I guess that means I am making some serious progress. I ended up making multiple changes to the plan about the events before Issei's first day of school, so that ate up a lot of time. I was going to include a small battle just for those who have been asking for more action. But after the technical difficulties created by my father, I decided to put that off for the Christmas chapter. I mean, that makes more sense for an actually Christmas gift to you guys, right?

Hope you like what I did here by making Heaven (note, specifically the angels, not the Church) have a more active yet secretive role regarding Kamen Riders. I will reveal why Michael is so concerned about Kamen Riders during the peace treaty. Also, I realize that Gabriel seems OOC compared to cannon DxD, but for the purposes of my Fanfic I prefer this more serious Gabriel over the always smiling and composed version that shows up in the light novels.

I'm getting started on the next chapter day after tomorrow, Friday the 13th, my favorite day lol.

A while back I made a request to "manajiwinp" to do some fanart for this Fanfic. She drew and posted them. Go look her up on deviant art dot com and go to her gallery. If that does not work, go to my account at arabianbladesofglory dot deviantart dot com and go to the favorites. If you still cannot find them, let me know.

Now this is going to sound weird, but have any of you guys seen the Amagami SS doujin entitled Harem Route (or something like that)? I am seriously considering applying that later on when Junichi gets targeted and injured by a Phantom. My idea is to show how the harem ending would actually unfold once everyone is grown up. Crazy? Also, I plan to create the love story of Issei's parents using elements of the manga Koisome Momiji. I highly recommend you read it.

That's it for now. Please Favorite, Follow, and Review. But most of all, thank you for reading!
