Chapter 2: Devil's Tango?
Have you ever had anyone just, up and out of the blue ask you to follow them? Someone you've never once talked to in your entire life? Yeah, that's kinda how I'm feeling right now, oh wait where are my manners, (And if you didn't read the last chapter.) my name is Issei. Welp, anywho.
Yeah this blonde boy, Kiba I think his name was, just up and asked me to follow him while I, Issei Hyoudou, Diablo, Lord of Terror and Fear, Devil of the Underworld, sat in my tree, relaxing. Now please note, I have never, ever, EVER! Talked to this person once. Not a single time. Not a "Hey" in the hallway or a "Hi" out and about or even a fucking nod passing by one another.
You can guess the questions going on in my mind, and of course I can tell he's one of those, and I use this term lightly. "Devils" but really his power isn't even enough to make anyone of my original family worry.
As for my response, I sat in silence for a moment before sighing and just agreeing with it and going with him. Not like they could really do anything to me.
Issei jumped up and out of the tree he was resting in and nodded to the blonde. Following him on a whim of boredom and slight interest.
Upon their little, three minute walk of silence, they made it to the old school building and went in. Opening it up and entering the old decrypted palace. Well, maybe that's a bit too strong a word for this place but still.
Upon entering the place the two found themselves facing a staircase, following Kiba further. Issei's thought trail abruptly stopped as they made it to what looked to be a office door. Kiba took a step to the side to allow Issei to both open the door and enter first.
Simply nodding to it, Issei did as he was expected for now. Playing along with their little game, he entered and found himself staring at 3 other people before Kiba re-entered the picture. The room itself wasn't bad either. Couple of couches, a desk in the back, a couple of windows. But they seem to have a love for the color red.
A red head, obviously the strongest so the leader by his guess, then a dark haired woman, she looked the oldest out of them admittedly, then finally the youngest and by the smell feline. So some sort of tiefling of a feline creature, devil, and human? A possibility but for now he'll keep quiet.
"Ah, you must be Issei." The red haired girl's voice rang out from behind a desk. "Please take a seat." With a silent nod, he decided to sit on the couch that was empty. Sitting opposite of Kiba and the white haired youngin'.
"So, Issei Hyoudou," her voice started. "Seventeen, blood type O negative, brown hair, hazel eyes." Seems they have their hands on some sort of record of his. This gave him a slight smirk as there was a LOT that was not on there.
"And someone who is obviously not a normal human." Her voice found a quite cocky tone. That made his smirk grow even further. Almost showing his bad case of anime shark teeth. His eyes snapped to her, staring into her sapphire colored eyes. He decided to fuck with her. His eyes suddenly slit as he stared at her, leaned back arms out and completely relaxed. "Is that so?" He asked in a simple tone of a uncaring voice.
She continued speaking. "Obviously. After all, not many people speak with the fallen, get attacked, then go on a date with their attacker, then scare four of them into such submission that they dare not leave that decrepit church of theirs."
"Mmm, it seems someone is paying attention to my personal life. So why is that?"
"Not every day we someone like you. A devil, with no alignment with the factions." That made him chuckle.
"Of course not. I could careless who's what." He said with a shrug. Closing his eyes and looking away showing his 'give no fucks' look to them all.
This made them share a look for a moment. "So then that makes you a stray doesn't it?" She said smirking slightly. This made him quirk his brow at her. A stray devil? That's what they thought he was. How...unimaginative… Then again, this group is a bunch of children running around acting like they have power.
"And if it did?" He asked curiously. His brow was quirked at that, as he leaned back into a more, relaxed pose. As if showing. 'So what? I'm obviously stronger than you, we both know that.' with the amount of, for lack of a better term to describe it, arrogance radiating off of him to them.
Obviously agitated the redhead if the slight sudden frown upon her face said anything, not that it stayed there for long. Arrogance obviously being a two way street for devils.
Hey, he wasn't above it. He at least admits it. He's prideful about his power. It actually was one of the few things he actually had left anyways.
Anyways, she nodded towards him, or at least, that's what it looked like to any outsider, in reality she was nodding to the person behind him. Which suddenly a sword appeared to pierce his chest. Blood coating the blade as the blond swordsmen was standing behind the brown haired male. His eyes traveled down to the blade and made a questioning look.
"While I applaud your attempt, I must say, if this it, you have no wear near the power it takes to even make me slightly interested. Furthermore, if you thought this would kill me you are sadly mistaken. It only ruined both my favorite shirt, and jacket." His tone of voice was completely void of any sort of emotion, showing complete and utter boredom to the situation.
This was not something any of them expected. Now, if we are completely honest here. This would kill, well anyone. Human, devil, gods (ha, gods.) Anyone! But, this one didn't seem to even mind that he had a blade protruding from his chest, to which he slowly stood up while the blade itself was pulled out of his body.
Blood dropping to both the floor, his pants and splashing are large amount of other things before he was finally free of it.
Then, something that freaked them all out, was the hole that was there for not even a second ago. Was almost instantly gone, to which their king's instant reaction was to use her powers to try and disintegrate him. Note, keyword in that was. Try….Did not work out for her.
He stood there almost completely unaffected, well, almost. His torso was now barren for all to look at, the girls blushed, and even Kiba found himself staring at the strange amount of tightness in the muscles.
"Yeah...that won't work either. Like I said, none of you in this room, even combined, have the collective power to get anywhere near defeating me." He stated simply before sighing. "Damnit...one second." He stated before stomping his foot and he was engulfed in flames before they also quickly dissipated. His casual clothes of a leather jacket, boots, and a red shirt with the natural pilot blue flame design on it under it, plus his darkened jeans.
"Anyways….was that it? I got stuff to get to." He said looking her dead in the eyes. And her reaction, couldn't be anymore comical. Her jaw was almost literally, on the ground, then again he say that for most everyone who figure out that they can't really scratch him.
He then shrugged and began walking to the door, but stopping dead in realization, and snapping around. "You owe me a new phone!" He shouted pointing at Rias, also catching her off guard. He kept his phone in his jacket pocket on the right side of his chest. Opposite of the side that was stabbed.
"Whenever you get me a new one, come find me. I'll either be in school or out and about." He stated simply waving his hand back and forth before quickly walking out the door. A voice came out of the room but he wasn't paying attention. He disappeared quickly in almost a flash and reappeared in the park that he took that Raynare girl to.
'Mmm, now she had an ass….' His perverted side came to rear it's head as he grinned slightly, before simply shrugging at the thought. He then began mindlessly wandering the park, helping people who either asked for it, or he seen in actual need of it. He even got a cat out of a tree for a couple of kids. He ended up walking back towards the fountain out of boredom after being helpful. Believe it or not Issei had a bit of a reputation for helping people at random times. He also had a bit of a reputation for being able to talk the devil out of some souls so that was also a factor to take into effect.
Anyways, there he was standing, staring into the water before taking out a 100 Yen coin and tossing it in. Staying silently as he watched it for a moment before turning around, and wouldn't you know it? He was, 'starstruck!' Bad pun I know. Sitting on his ass now, he was confused as he looked around and looked for the source of the sudden feminine moan of pain.
"Oooowwww" A slight whine came from his right as, a young nun looking girl was there trying to stand up. To which he got up and then began to help her up. "Thank you sir!" She said giving a bow. She was speaking Japanese, but it was obvious that she wasn't used to it and did not understand it all that well.
"You don't need to do that." He said in English, which made her gasp. His English was so fluent it kinda shocked her.
"Oh um, thank you sir."
"Anytime kid….you okay?" He asked curiously. To which she nodded.
"I am, but I'm still lost. You wouldn't happen to know where the local church is." To which, he was staring at it. It was on the hill...behind her. That made him look at it, then her, then back to it and point. "You mean that one?" He asked curiously.
She looked and suddenly gained an excited look upon her face. "Yeah! Thank you sir." She said quickly looking back to him and bowing.
He tilted his head and put his hand out, giving her the sign of no need for that. "Don't worry 'bout it. If you want I can take you there. About to head that way anyways." He said with a shrug. Saying high to Raynare wouldn't hurt much.
The younger female quickly nodded with an excitement he hadn't seen from people in a long bloody time.
She suddenly, almost quicker than him grabbed up the luggage bag that had feel to the ground and then his hand and began quickly leading the way towards the church. He was almost literally and comically being dragged away by a blond English nun…
There is a sex joke in here somewhere, but for the love of diablo neither He nor I for that fact can put one or the other's finger on it. Literally even I can't figure it out but I know it's there somewhere.
Well, he was right about one thing. This turned into an interesting week in his eyes.
Very interesting….
Anyways, after a few minutes of being dragged through the streets they found themselves in front of the big chapel doors. She let go of his hands and smiled at him. To which he smiled back. "By the way...the name is Issei." He said simply enough.
She then blushed and put her hand to her cheek. "Oh my, I'm so sorry where are my manners! I am Asia Argento, it is nice to meet you Issei." To which he nodded to. "You too Asia, shall we?" He asked as he went to open the door for her. The devil he may be, but a gentleman he can be. He held it open for her as she dragged her stuff in. As he walked in behind her, he noticed two of the four fallen angels. The two other girls conversing in the corner. The man nowhere to be seen, and Raynare...well...the sudden weight on his back was a strong indicator of where she was. Like a love-struck teen she had wrapped herself almost completely around him. "Issei!" She said in an almost gleeful voice.
Yep...interesting week indeed...
HEY ALL! I'M ALIVE! So what's new everyone?
Anywho. Yep. I'm back, I was kinda in a funk, but then again fanfiction is just a hobby and I can only post as fast as I can get the inspiration to write. Which sadly has recently been lacking. I don't know but my mojo disappeared for a bit. Sorry for the short chapter, but hey! It is what it is.
So, read, review if you wish, follow. It seems this story is also gaining a lot of traction like my Naruto one. Which I will be continuing. I just need to gain a little more scifi inspiration, I need to get into the mood for that one.
Anyways! Peace yo! OH and before anyone complains cause I haven't gotten it yet. But I know it's coming. I'm writing this disclaimer only once, and then I'm putting one on my profile so everyone knows. I DO NOT OWN THIS ANIME, or anything else to do with these things. I do not own diablo in any shape way or form. If I did I'd have a large amount of money in my pocket.
Finally, later all. Hope you all have a good time and enjoyed reading this. I also would like for anyone who enjoys my writings, of this or otherwise who has stuck with me through out my very erratic update system, I would like to give all of you for that. Ya'll great people. Anyways. Later!
