Fatigue, his throat dry. It was the only thing he could feel. As his eyes slowly opened, he immediately had to reclose them due to the brightness. He held his hand over his eye's as he opened them again, slowly sitting up. He looked around, noticing his blue painted walls. He gave out a low groan, as he rubbed his stomach. He looked down, and saw nothing.
'A dream...' He thought to himself. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a low meow. He looked to see at the edge of his bed was Kuro, looking at him with a tilted head. She gave out one more meow, before walking out of the room. With a loud yawn, Takeda got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. He rubbed both eyes tiredly, before he felt something around his right eye.
As he stood before the mirror, he suddenly jumped back, bumping his head against the wall.
"G-Gah!" He rubbed the back of his head as he stood back up. The sight made his eyes widen. His right eye, it was weird. It was no longer with gold in color, now blood red, pupil slit as his hair was now pure black as well. Surrounding the entire eye were black veins. He got closer to the mirror, placing his hand on the veins. When he touched them, they seemed to pulsate a bit. They freaked him out greatly, as his breathing began to grow rapid.
"Takeda, honey! Is everything alright?" He heard his mother call from downstairs.
"Y-Yeah, I'm alright. Just slipped, I'll be fine though." He answered back, as he witnessed the black veins slowly disappear into his skin, as the eye turned back to it's original golden color.
"Well, alright then. Hurry before your breakfast gets cold." Mizo called back, before she walked back into the kitchen.
'Just what the hell...the hell was that? This isn't just some imaginary thing...last night could not have been a dream...' Flashes of Ayumi appeared in front of him, along with the moments of last night. 'Ayumi...Kalawarner...there's no way that wasn't real.' Takeda thought to himself.
Breakfast went by rather quickly for the family of three, the only weird part being that he had to explain his hair now being black. Takeda gave his mother a kiss on the cheek and a fist bump with his father, before leaving for school. The occurances within the bathroom were still on his mind, as they only further made him believe that his supposed 'dream' was no dream.
~~~ Lunch ~~~
Usually Takeda would eat in his usual spot under one of the many tree's on the school grounds. This time, he stood in the stairway of the main building. He was deep in his thoughts, as just across from him stood the Perverted Trio, also standing in the stairway.
Even though he was deep in his thoughts, he heard some of what they said.
"I'm telling you man, you never introduced us to this Yuuma girl. Not like you could get a girl either way, but still." One of them stated, as Issei Hyoudou pulled out his phone.
"But that makes no sense, her contact info is right her- that's wierd. Yuuma's contact info isn't in my phone anymore." Issei stated.
Takeda listened closely, as he remembered what he had heard the previous night. Whoever this Lady Amelie had said something about her little sister. Maybe this Yuuma was the little sister she was referring to.
'Just what he hell is going on?' He thought to himself, before the cries of joy from the other students brought him back to reality.
"Aaah! Rias-senpai! Akeno-senpai!"
"They're so pretty!"
He looked up to see none other than Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima at the top of the stairs. Crimson and Raven black flowing. As she passed him, Akeno had looked him dead in the eyes, and gave him a smile. The sight truly made him blush and gulp down the saliva that had built up in his mouth. She seemed to give off a small laugh as well, before she continued down the stairs, following after Rias.
With a shake of his head, he returned to his own thoughts.
As he walked home, the sun had already set, as Takeda had decided to take one of the longer routes home.
As he had seen the night sky come, his eyesight had still been bright. As if it were still daylight. But he knew for sure it had become dark out. As he walked by, he saw a pair of people far ahead of him.
"So, you and your girl finally gonna tie the knot, huh?"
"That's right. Man, it still feels unreal to me."
'Just how the hell can I hear them from this far away?' Takeda thought, as his speed picked up, before he found himself within the central park, the same park he and Ayumi ended their date. He placed his hand on the fountain, as the feeling of betrayel set into him. No, he couldn't point the blame on her, she tried to protect him, to make sure he wasn't harm. She even shed tears for him. Ayumi, or Kalawarner as she said her actual name was, he would find her again.
"So, you still live." Takeda looked up, and noticed the sky had turned purple. He looked to one of the entrances of the park, and saw the same man from the previous night standing there. "So, it would seem you've been reincarnated? But seeing as your master is not here, nor are you making an attempt to run away via magic circle, I must assume you've already strayed. That just makes my job easier."
'What the hell is he on about?' Takeda thought, as he suddenly jumped high into the air, before landing a few feet away. 'Wha- I only meant to take a few steps back.'
"You plan on running now? Well, it's quite too late for that!" The man spread his black feathered wings, taking to the air.
Takeda took to running, as few feathers fell to the ground. His senses suddenly kicked in, as he took to jumping forward, performing a roll to dodge the spear. He continued running, before he had to dodge another spear, but the man took to notice his quick reflexes. So he created two at the same time, immediately throwing the second after the first.
Though Takeda dodged the first, the second one hit him straight in the chest, forcing him to fall face first onto the ground.
"You dodged some, which I can commend, but you only delayed the inevitable." Takeda went to touch the spear, but immediately pulled away. "Hurts, doesn't it? Light is a deadly toxic to your kind, at least your kind now." The man stated, as he summoned that same spear back in his hand. "Now then, it's time to die, for the second time at least."
The man went to throw the spear, but felt himself get hit by a demonic blast.
"Was that you, you little brat!?"
"I'm sorry, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't touch this boy again." A female voice spoke from behind Takeda.
"Damn you!" The man threw his spear at her, but another body kicked it away, landing next to the first young woman. "I've had enough of this!" The man went for a lunge, but was blasted back by thunder. A third figure walked closer, thunder crackling in her hand as she gave of a soft giggle.
The man got back to his feet, dusting off his hat before placing it back onto his head.
"Judging from the red hair, it's safe to assume you are of the Gremory clan?" He asked, as Rias looked at him with a calm gaze in her eyes.
"How do you do, Fallen Angel? My name is Rias Gremory, yes. This boy is under my protection, so I'd appreciate it if you did not try to bring harm to him ever again." She stated.
"I see. Then allow me to give some advice of my own. It would be best to keep those under your protection close. If it were another of my own, they may not be as nice." The man stated, before his wings spread. "My name is Dohnaseek, I pray we never cross paths again." He stated, disappearing from sight as the sky lost it's purple color.
Rias walked over to the prone Takeda, kneeling down next to him. She took notice to just how large the hole in his chest was.
"He's going to die if you don't do something..." The smaller of the three stated, but Rias shook her head.
"No he won't. Not as long as I'm here." Rias said with a small smile, turning to the two. "Akeno, I'm trusting you to get him home safe and healed." Rias spoke, as Akeno nodded with a small smile.
"Of course. He'll be good as new, ufufu~"
~~~ The Next Morning ~~~
Takeda woke with a groan, as he slammed his hand on the alarm clock.
"Guuuh...why do I feel so heavy. Another weird dream...no, that's not it." Takeda muttered, as he sat up. "What the..." It didn't take long for his eyes to trail to the giant lump next to him on the bed. His eyebrow raised, as he slowly lifted the covers, only to fall back and off the bed.
Laying asleep right next to him, naked mind you. Akeno Himejima, an upperclassmen of Takeda. Her hair was out of its usual style Imitheos would see it in, spread across the bed sheet.
He blushed at the sight, as her naked form layed there for him to see. While he was flustered of course, he was also a bit confused. The two had never fully interacted with one another before, and he would surely remember having some sort of relationship with her.
Just what was going on? Takeda planned on getting answers.
Gulping down his nerves, he gently shook her. Slowly, her eyes opened as she saw him looking down at her. She sat up as well, yawning and stretching, which only served to make her chest look bigger.
"Good morning." She spoke, smiling at the sight of the blushing Takeda.
"Yeah, um, good morning. Quick question."
"Yes, what is it?" She smiled sweetly at him, cupping his cheek with her hand.
"Just what are you doing in my bed? And why are you sleeping..." He took a quick glance down at her body. "...naked?" His questions made her give off a small giggle.
"Ah...I healed you, silly. It's done through body contact, so we both were required to be naked for it to work." Akeno explained. Takeda blinked a few times.
"Repeat that for me please."
"Yes, body contact was needed for me to heal your wounds. If you don't believe me, just look down." Takeda did just that, seeing he was in fact nude. "Nothing to be ashamed about. Besides, it's quite a nice size."
She teased, causing Takeda to blush brighter as he instantly pulled the covers over his lower half.
"Healed me?" He questioned.
"Sorry, but you'll have to wait a bit longer if you want things explained." Akeno stated. Takeda didn't like that answer all too much. The last few days had been nothing but a blur, and if someone had answers, he was going to get them.
"Fine, just...put some clothes on please." He insisted, as she gave a mock pout.
"Oh? Why, you don't like me as I am?" Akeno questioned, pushing her chest together.
"Wha- no, that's not it. I mean-!" Takeda just sighed in defeat as she laughed in victory. She stood up from the bed, picking up her panties from the neatly folded pile of clothes laying against the bed.
Takeda did have a glace, but immediately looked away.
'Just what kind of girl openly shows herself to someone like that!?' He thought, as he quickly got on a pair of underwear and shorts.
"Mind giving me a hand with this?" Takeda looked back, seeing her holding her bra to her chest.
"U-Umm, sure I guess." He walked over, as she flipped her hair over her shoulder, as Takeda slowly clipped the bra together. "So, what did you mean by healing? How did you even get in here without my parents seeing you?"
"Didn't I already tell you? You'll have to wait if you want an explanation, at least until after school. I'll tell it to you briefly, I used something to heal you, and I used that same thing to get us to your room instantly. Will that hold you off for now?"
"I'm probably not going to get any other kind of answer...so, I guess so." Takeda shook his head, before he felt Akeno's hand grasp onto his chin, making him look her dead in the eyes.
"Takeda's quite a cute name, I'm sure we'll get along well." She said with a closed eye smile.
~~~ School Grounds ~~~
"Woah, who is that?"
"Isn't he that quiet kid?"
"I think so. What's a guy like him doing with Akeno?"
Takeda growled at the words he heard coming from other students, as Akeno walked just ahead of him with a smile on her face.
'And this just proves why I dislike almost every other guy who goes to this school...bunch of braindead idiots...' He thought to himself, as the two entered the main building. She turned to him with a small smile.
"Someone will be sent to get you after school. You'll have to wait until then for answers, I'm afraid." She said. Takeda only nodded, now going back to his usual quiet self. It would usually be at home where he would allow himself to talk, but at school, it was back to the silent.
As she walked off, Takeda immediately dodged the punches coming from the Perverted Trio. The two who punched immediately felt pain in their fists, as they had punched one of the pillars in the building.
"G-Gah!" The bald one held his hand in pain, before glaring at Takeda. "Tell me! Just what did some nobody like you do to get with Akeno Himejima!"
Takeda didn't answer, just stared down at the three with a passive gaze.
Akeno caught up with Rias, who was walking up the stairs, before they turned to the sound of a recognizable voice.
"So, those are the two?" She turned to see a young woman standing nearby. She held black hair in a bobcut style, with purple eye's. She is also wearing pink colored glasses. "Good day, Rias, Akeno."
"Good day, Sona." Rias returned the gesture with a smile and closed eyes. Sona walked closer, as the three watched the spectacle happening below. They watched as Takeda stared at the three of the Perverted Trio with visible annoyance, before shaking his head and walking past the three.
Unfortunately they followed after him, which only made it worse since they were all in the same class.
"It's not like you to impulsively bring someone into your household." Sona stated, as Rias shook her head.
"I was hoping to do this under difference circumstances, but I had no choice. Either way, it would seem I got myself two silly little brothers." She said with a smile.
~~~ After School ~~~
School had ended, as Takeda awaited for the one that was to pick him up. He sat in the back with closed eyes, his hood over his head. Suddenly, the cries of joy from the female students made him open them. There, he saw Yuuto Kiba walking in.
"Excuse me." He said with a smile, as he walked past all the girls that had surrounded him. "Would both Hyoudou Issei and Nakamura Takeda come with me please." He said, shocking the females of the room.
"Wah! Why is he asking for the pervert!"
"Kiba no! You'll catch a disease!"
Takeda shook his head at their protests, finding them all quite annoying. To him, they were nothing more than hypocrites. Though they didn't take it to the level Issei and his friends did, they still held near perverted tendencies.
Takeda stood up, slinging his bag over his back as he walked closer. Issei seemed to also understand the situation, standing and following them.
The group found themselves in the Old School Building, as Kiba allowed the two to walk into the room first, closing it behind himself. The two took notice of the girl sat on one of the couches. She held short silver white hair, with hazel colored eyes. She is also holding a piece of chocolate, taking occasional bites out of it.
"This is Toujou Koneko, a 1st year student and valued member of the Occult Research Club." Kiba said, as Koneko turned to them. "Koneko, this is Hyoudou Issei and Nakamura Takeda."
"O-Oh, nice to meet you." Issei said, as Takeda simply raised his hand as a greeting.
The two suddenly heard the sound of running water.
"President, I've brought your clothes." Another female voice said.
"Thank you, Akeno." The voice of Rias said. Issei also grew a perverted expression on his face, as Takeda simply shook his head with a sigh.
"What a creepy face." Koneko simply spoke, as Takeda whacked him over the head. Issei glared at him, but the straight look on Takeda's face seemed to make him uncomfortable.
"Oh my, you're the other new member, right?" Issei turned to the sound of Akeno's voice.
She gave a bow of her head.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm the club's Vice-President, Himejima Akeno." She introduced herself.
"I-I'm Hyoudou Issei. Nice to meet you too." Akeno then turned to Takeda, winking his way, as a means to remind him of the morning, which served to have a small red blush grow on Takeda's face.
"Thank you for waiting." Both turned to see Rias stepping out from behind the curtain, now fully dressed and drying her hair. "I apologize for making you wait, but I stayed at your home and didn't have time to shower."
"It's alright." Issei simply said.
"Well everyone's here now. Please, have a seat." Takeda and Issei both took a seat, Takeda sat next to Koneko as Issei sat next to him. Both Kiba and Akeno took the other couch, as Rias sat at the head desk. "We officially welcome you both to the Occult Research Club. But, the club is a mere facade. Nothing more than a hobby."
"What do you mean?" Issei asked.
"I'll be frank. Us here are all Devils." Rias answered with arms crossed under her chest.
"T-That was very frank." Rias nodded, turning to Takeda.
"The black winged man you saw yesterday, was a Fallen Angel. Once Angels serving God, they have been cast down to the Underworld due to their wicked nature. They're trying to manipulate humans and destroy us Devils. Since primeval times, there's been a constant struggle for domination in the Underworld, or Hell as humans call it. Then, there are also normal Angels, coming here on God's orders to hunt Devils. In other words, we have a three way standoff. Do you follow me so far?"
Takeda processed the information, putting the piece's together.
"Well, considering I believed it was real since Sunday, yeah. I follow." Takeda stated, all eyes turned to him. "I never believed it to be a dream, no matter how easy that would have been to believe. Seeing it all now, how can I not believe it?"
"Um, this is getting kinda too complicated for a stupid high school student like me." Issei spoke up as he scratched the back of his head.
"Amano Yuuma." Rias suddenly stated, making Issei's eyes widen at hearing that name. "I'm sure you remember her, you two had a date after all. And Otsuki Ayumi, you also had a date with her as well, Takeda."
"I-I don't know where you heard such name, but don't treat it as some occult phenomenon." Issei said, as his hands began to clench into fists. "Frankly speaking, I find it unpleasant."
Before he could say anymore, Rias threw a photo onto the table. He looked at it, and his eyes widened at the sight. It waas a photo of him and Yuuma during their date.
"That is Yuuma Amano, isn't it?" Rias asked. "This girl- no, this Fallen Angel. She's from the same faction that assaulted you last night. Just as Otsuki Ayumi was. Once they completed their missions, they erased memories and records of it from you and the other people around you."
"Mission?" Issei asked.
"Killing you." Rias simply said.
"No." Takeda immediately stated, his own hands clenching. Every turned to him, and swore they saw black veins beginning to crawl onto his face. "Ayumi...Kalawarner, she didn't want me dead. You weren't there to see it, she tried to protect me from them. Fallen Angel or not, she's innocent in what ever this is."
"Either way, you were both killed once their suspicions were confirmed."
"Y-Yeah, She did state about a Sacred something." Issei remembered.
"Sacred Gear." Rias finished the phrase.
"An unusual power that resides in certain humans. It is said most of the great people in history possessed one." Akeno explained.
"Sometimes they have power formidable enough to threaten Devils and Fallen Angels. We'll start with you. Issei, raise your left hand." Rias said, as Issei did as asked. "Close your eyes and imagine the strongest being that comes to mind."
"Th-This is all too sudden..." He muttered.
"Just focus." He listening, closing his eyes and muttering to himself.
"Focus, focus." Takeda watched as his eyes slowly opened, a certain gaze in his eyes. Takeda followed his line of sight, and saw that he could see Rias' panties. He sighed, shaking his head as Issei gave up. "I can't do it..."
"That's alright, we'll take things slow." She then turned to Takeda. "I'm sure I know what your Sacred Gear is, but please stand Takeda."
Takeda slowly got off the couch.
"Now then, close your eye's and do as Issei, think of the strongest being that comes to mind."
Takeda thought about it, and when it came to who he saw as the strongest being, to him that would be his previous Kung Fu Sensei. As the thought of him came to mind, a bright light filled the room.
Once it was gone, they all looked towards Takeda, specifically his right eye. It had turned blood red, with his pupil a beautiful gold and slitted. Around the entire eye were the black veins once again, which seemed to slowly crawl down towards his neck.
Takeda placed his hand on the eye, as in his own sight, the vision in his right eye seemed to be better now.
"Just as I thought." Rias suddenly stated, as she walked closer. She stood in front of Takeda, placing a hand near the eye. "I did have to do some research on it, but I'm sure of it."
"What is it?"
"The Goddess's Eye. One of the few Japanese Sacred Gears, normally refered to as the Sacred Treasures of Japan, and one of the more stronger ones. It's said to be on par with the 13 Longinus'. If I remember correctly, it holds the soul of one of the Elder Dragons of Japan, Erebus. When it comes to its abilities, I'm not quite sure, but I believe you'll be able to figure it out." Rias stated with a smile.
Takeda took in the information given. Now knowing there is another being living within him, he had to mentally calm himself down.
"Issei, Takeda, you've both been reborn into the family of Rias Gremory. Daughter of the Duke Gremory, a High-Class Devil." Her Devil wings suddenly sprouted from her back, as did the wings of the other members.
Suddenly the same happened to Issei and Takeda, but they all seemed to be staring at Takeda's in shock.
"What?" He decided to look at his own wings, and his own eyes widened at the sight. One of them looked just like theirs, but the other...it wasn't the same. It held the same as the man from the previous night, black feathers.
"It would seem you were never fully human, Takeda. No, a half-breed between a human and a Fallen Angel."
For a good portion of the chapters seen in the original, most will be the same with subtle and also a few obvious changes, but eventually things will start to change. I'm thinking some time around the end of the Kokabiel arc, specifically the fight against Kokabiel. By that time as well, I should have introduced all of the harem members, so there's that as well. Some characters may not even be here anymore, and others will be shown for a bit, but will eventually die out. Takeda's lovers aren't the only ones that will be changed, but I don't want to give anything away yet.
Quick explanation of the Sacred Gear. When first summoned, the eye appears red with a slitted golden pupil. When it matures, the pupil turns black and kanji text spins around it. It's like Issei's boosted gear, which starts as a small gauntlet, and when matured, turns into a larger gauntlet that covers the entire forearm and clawed fingers.
I'm also hoping to have more emotion shown during certain parts of arcs, as a way to have you readers more invested in the story and the characters within it. Also, if there are any grammatical mistakes or any other kind of mistakes you guys find in the chapters, let me know and I'll fix them as soon as possible. That's all I have to say. Until next chapter...
Stay Safe...
Stay Healthy...
Have a good one!
