Stardust DxD
Stars… they are a wonderful sight to see…
They illuminate the dark sky… Glitter in the dark sky…
Many formed a different constellation… and making up new ones with imagination…
And when a shooting star passed by, people who saw it would make a wish…
Endless stars…
I wonder… are there things far beyond the stars…?
Star 1. Fight! The Star Soldier is Born.
It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shining, the streets were bustling, and children leaving for school. One such example is this young man that just came out of the house.
He is a boy who has short spiky brown hair, with two short locks of hair behind his head, and light brown eyes. He wears a black school uniform which consisted of a white buttoned up shirt with black trims, white trimmed black blazer and black pants with silver-buckled black leather belt and he wears a red shirt underneath. This boy is Issei Hyoudou.
Issei is quite infamous for his perverse thoughts and actions toward women. He was part of Kuoh Academy's 'Pervert Trio', and was considered an enemy to all women. Girls kept their distance, and boys taunted and teased him for still being without a girlfriend. Despite his perverted behaviour, he is also, by the very definition, an honest individual. He wears his heart on his sleeve almost like a badge of honor. He would never tell a lie and is always straightforward in his answers. He always hones up to his mistakes and takes full responsibility for his actions. A select individual knows about it.
And one of them knows Issei better than anyone else will ever claim to.
Issei turns his head back at the door and called out. "Sachi, are you coming?"
"Yes! I'm coming, I'm coming!" Called out a young girl inside.
What came out of the house was an 11 year old girl, with brown eyes and mid length maroon brown hair tied in pigtails with white ribbons. She wears a blue sky long-sleeve shirt with yellow stripes on the sleeves and an orange skirt, she also has a school bag on her back.
This young girl is Sachi Hyoudou, Issei's little sister.
The two siblings walk on the road to their respectful schools, as they often did, ever since Sachi has first started elementary. Issei seemed quite glum, making the little sister raises a brow in question, before she starts asking.
"What's the matter, onii-chan?"
Issei signed miserably. "Is just that, I'm in my 2nd year of high school and I still don't have a girlfriend."
"Oh. Is that all?" Sachi casually asked but also with a hint of worry. "Well, that's true. I mean, I'm already in the 5th grade and got one more grade left next year, and I still don't have a boyfriend." She slumped after that.
Then Issei's mood quickly change to an overprotective. "Hey come on now! Your still too young to date!" He exclaimed.
Sachi frowned and pouted, turning back to Issei. "I have you know that there are girls of my age, even younger, had dating boys. And there is no age limit when it comes to love."
"Eh…?!" Issei gasped. "Kids these days sure are mature..." He muttered.
"But anyway, back on topic." Sachi proclaimed. "You said you still don't have a girlfriend?"
Issei slumped again. "Yeah. Here I am, on my 2nd year and I still don't have a girlfriend." He signed hardly. "Jeez, this isn't what I planned when I enroll in Kuoh Academy."
It has been nearly a week since Issei has started his 2nd year of high school, and unfortunately he hasn't gain a girlfriend yet, due to his perverted actions he has become unpopular with the girls.
Then it was Sachi's turn to signed hardly. "And I understand the reason why you enroll there. Your school used to be an all-girls school a couple of years until it became a co-ed, so the majority of girls still beats the number of boys. In other words… you wanted to take advantage in order to find a girlfriend."
She then looks at her brother. "Or I am wrong?"
"Well… no, you're not wrong. But you're half-right." Issei answered, before he lowered his head. "True, I wanted a girlfriend, but..."
"I also wanted to obtain a harem!" He proclaimed loudly, causing Sachi signed. "That was the main reason why I enrolled a former all-girls school!"
"Oh course, that's the main reason any guy joins Kuoh Academy." Sachi muttered with an eye roll.
"Well, who wouldn't? Is every guy's dream to have a harem!" Issei proclaimed again.
"By every 'guy' you mean; you and your friends?" Sachi asked.
Issei flinched by his sister's words. "Come on, t-there are other g-guys, too!" He exclaimed defendly.
"Regardless, if you ever wanted the chance to find a girlfriend, then you better start by stop being a pervert." Sachi said turning her head, her words were like an arrow pierce Issei. "Like stop staring at girls with a perverted expression, talking about perverted things and peeping."
Issei flinched at the last part. "W-w-where did you hear that?!" He asked nervously, panicking.
"I've heard from the girls from both your former middle school and last year." Sachi responded looking at her brother with a disapproval look.
It is no surprise that Sachi is well aware of her brother's pervertness. And just because she's a child, doesn't mean she is not aware of different perverted ways, a selection of boys in her grade are kind of perverted themselves, and other girls are aware as well. She knew that her brother is a pervert due to a variety of things in his room, and stories she was told by her parents and from others as well. She often hears what her brother did in school while walking back home. And she's even aware of his goal of having his own harem, his dream of becoming this so called 'Harem King'.
"If you really want to find a girlfriend, then you need to let go of that perverted attitude. Not just that, also the idea of a harem, onii-chan." Sachi scolded.
"EH?! I-I can't do that! I'm a guy, is my nature and I possibly couldn't let it go!" Issei exclaimed defending himself. "There are so many that I must see! And I must see them with my own eyes, that's what I live for!"
Sachi sweatdropped. 'How can you be so proud...?'
"And also…" Issei clutched his hand, before proudly declare. "I won't abandon my dream of becoming the Harem King!" As soon as he came to his senses, he quickly realized that he loudly proclaim about his goals beside his sister. He slowly turns his head until he looks at her, his sister wore an annoyance look before closing her eyes.
"I've said it before, and said it many times before, I'll say it again." Sachi said in an annoyed voice before opened her eyes looking at him. "Idiot."
That one word made Issei flinched.
"This is exactly why you don't have a girlfriend, onii-chan!" Sachi snapped. "You shamelessly proud of your perverted nature, having silly goals that you made it sound like life important, lastly… you want a harem even though it is clearly impossible!"
Issei flinched even further, his sister's words were like arrows piercing him, before he asks. "W-w-why is it i-impossible?" He will soon realized that asking is a mistake.
Sachi composed herself before turning her attention to the road. "There are three reasons for that. One; Polygamy is illegal in various of countries, even here, you be lucky to move into one where is legal. There used to be polygamy in the past, but not anymore. Two; The idea of getting a harem sounded more like from anime and novels. And finally, three…" She stops her advance before turning to her brother and point at him. "No girls in their right mind would share their boyfriends with others!"
Issei was speechless, sure he understands the first two and they have many reasons, but the last one has stroked him hard.
"Heck, even I won't share my future boyfriend with others, that includes my closest friends." Sachi declared, she then close her eyes and put both of her hands together on her chest. "I want a boyfriend, who's truly faithful to me without looking at other girls, and accepted me for who I am."
Issei can understand her desire and should have known. He knows that his sister is a romance fan, so she firmly believes in faithfulness, where a man can truly love only one woman. Also, she is kinda boy crazy and hopelessly searching for a boyfriend.
She then reopens her eyes before turning back to Issei. "And besides, even if you managed, it be like dating those girls behind their backs, two-timing… no, three-timing… actually group-timing them! And you'll be labeled as play boy, and that's WAY worse than being a pervert!" She exclaimed, that one completely made Issei flinched even further.
Before Sachi knew, she realized something important. "Oh shoot! I wasted enough time." She then start to jog not before telling her brother one last thing. "See you at home, onii-chan!"
"Y-Yeah… See you at home." Issei said, but couldn't say it loudly, he was too depressing at the moment although he quickly composed himself. "Hmph! Sachi can't possibly be right! A man's dreams can't be crushed by facts like that!" Issei determines declared, fire in his eyes. But his little sister hasn't gone away yet.
Hearing that Sachi pipes in. "Ah. So if it is like that I think you wouldn't mind if your girlfriend had other boyfriends...like your friends?" Issei stops and blinks. "She would kiss you but Matsuda and Motohama would be her boyfriends."
The boy trembles. "I-I-I-I would be the first in her heart!"
"How would you know you are?" He widens his eyes. That felt like a harsh slap. "I mean. Why would it even be bad if she has a harem? Like, she would certainly love having more boys, or a pretty boy like one in your school to ple-?!"
"OKAY! OKAY! I GOT IT!" Issei shakes his head, the fateful realization about relationships gleaming on his head.
"Now..." Sachi turns back to her direction. "See you at home!" She waves at him.
"Y-yeah..." Issei waved back.
Sachi jogs for a few meters before she slow down then walks for little moment before stopping, she turns her head to look back at where she was with her brother before. She turns back before signed. "Baka no onii-chan…"
Is not that she doesn't love her brother, she does love him, and caring for him. She merely wanted to help her brother by pointing out several of his flaws and need to work on, mainly his perverted ways and the harem idea. She's one of the few individuals who knows Issei well, despite his pervertness he is kind, courageous, and unwaveringly determined to help out others, she and her parents knows that well.
'I'm sure, one of these days, somewhere out there, there is a girl who will see onii-chan for who he is.' Sachi thought, hopefully. Before she goes back to jog.
"Ouch, talk about tough love." Said the black hair tied in buns.
Sachi finally managed to get to school in time before the bell rings. The school she attained is called Kyoiseiza Elementary School, in which takes 35 minutes of walking and 15 minutes of bicycling from home to there, and 23 minutes from Kuoh Academy. This was also the school that her brother used to attend when he was a grade student.
At the moment, Sachi is in her class, 5-1, sitting on her chair with her friends gathered around. She just finished told them about her way to school.
"Well, I think it is best if he abandon his perverted ways." A girl with navy blue hair in a hime cut, Hanabi, said.
Another girl with short length blond, Sakuya, waved off. "Naw, I doubt it. Her brother is a guy, and like every guy they all have perverted interests."
"On top of that, they each have a fetish, and even to the point of obsession." One girl with light brown hair tied in a ponytail, Kanon, added.
"Oh yeah, you said that your brother is all about boobs before." The girl with buns, Miyabi, said.
"Yes, he's all boobs." Sachi signed. "And I will never understand why he's obsessed."
Is quite unbecoming for a group of elementary students, especially girls, to talk about these kind of things, but Sachi has been telling her friends all about her brother and his daily basics some time ago. In addition, they are all in the fifth grade, the kind of subjects, such as what they are talking about, were common, but mostly for the boys.
"You know what you should do." Miyabi exclaimed, before doing a few karate chop motions. "You should give him a 45-degree angle chop on the head to knock some sense into him."
Sachi waved her hand. "That won't work."
"Come on! You're the most skillful in class when it comes to karate and judo!" Miyabi proclaimed. "Your chop would definitely knock some sense."
"I'm only blue belt." Sachi replied, reminding her friend.
It is well known to her family and to the class, that Sachi practice both karate and judo, training for two years and blue belt at the moment.
"And besides, even if I do give him a beating, he'll still be the same." She explained. Even though she is Issei's little sister, there were times when she would pound her brother to either make him behave himself or freak out when he walks at the wrong time.
Sakuya sign. "At this rate, your brother won't find himself a girlfriend. He'll grow old."
"I do pity him for his lack of luck." Hanabi added.
"Hey, come on now! Sure onii-chan is a perv, but he's also a kind person." Sachi exclaimed, getting off her chair.
"Sorry, sorry." Sakuya and Hanabi apologized.
"But is going to be hard for him, though." Kanon replied.
Sachi signed before sitting back at her seat. "Yeah… it is." Sachi looks at the window in wonder.
"ACHOO!" Issei sneezed out of the blue.
"Damn Issei, that's like the umpteenth time you sneeze."
"Must be hay fever."
"No… somehow I got a feeling that a group of people are talking about me…" Issei said whipped his nose. "And somehow, I get the feeling that they are talking about my love life…"
At the moment, Issei has arrived at Kuoh Academy. The private school used to be an all-girls school until the new dean changed the student admission policy which now allowed boys to enroll here. This was where the problem started. For some kind of odd and unexplainable reason, the girls who schooled in Kuoh were all attractive and beautiful even drop dead gorgeous. The boys used this as a chance to get themselves a girlfriend, but unfortunately they chose to listen to their hormones instead of their logic. As a result, the girls branded most of their male counterpart as perverts save for select few that didn't act like the rest of their peers.
Issei is in class before the bell rings, and right now he was talking with his two friends, Matsuda and Motohama, two of the Pervert Trio.
"So… what we were talking about again?" Issei asked.
The void of space was a truly wondrous thing. It gave off the sense of infinity and calm. The infinite darkness was something that could intimidate someone, if not for the stars twinkling, adding a sense of sanctuary.
FWOSH-!
A mysterious multi-color shooting star passed by faster than the speed of light. The shooting star flies as it passed planets of the solar system, passing by Mars the star continues to fly as it gets closer and closer to the blue planet, Earth.
Closer beside the moon, the shooting star came to a stop. It was completely unnatural for a shooting star to suddenly stop, many would say it was unscientifically or a new discovery. But what lies on the mystery twinkling star was the center of it, a shadowy figure surrounded by the light.
The figure made small movements, depicted that it wonders if the planet in front was the destination it has been searching for. Then, it turns its head around, meaning it must have heard something, what it saw made it backend mostly likely shocked.
A strange vortex is beginning to form with dark energy swirling around and electricity running around. The figure in the star's body movement shows that it was being stiff, dedicated that it looks nervous. The figure turns back to the blue planet, before its movements show that it was determined. It goes back to flying, turning back into a shooting star, heading towards Earth.
"Tadaima!" Sachi called out after entered her house.
"Welcome home sweetie!" Called out her mother from the living room.
Sachi walks in the living room as she saw her mother in the kitchen, no doubt preparing diner in advance. She went to the kitchen, once there she opens the refrigerator and took the jus box, then her mother spoke to her. "How was your day?"
"Pretty good, so far." Sachi responded, pouring the jus in a cup.
"What do you mean 'so far?'" Ms. Hyoudou asked confused.
"I'm in the fifth grade, mom. So I expected things to be harder." Sachi replied.
"Oh, you're exaggerated, Sachi." Ms. Hyoudou waved off, giggle. "Try to enjoy your new school year before the next."
"I know, mom." Sachi said, drinking the jus.
"Tadaima…!"
The mother and daughter heard Issei's voice from the entrance, and somehow it sounded like he had a rough day. Curious, Sachi walks out of the living room and when she saw her brother… he has a black eye on right eye and a bruise on the left cheek. Yup, rough day.
Sachi has a mixture of annoyance and worry. Annoyed because she knew well what he did, worried because he got hurt. Regardless, she had to hide her worries and maintain her compose.
Issei noticed his sister's gaze. "W-What…?" He asked.
"You did it again, didn't you, onii-chan?" Sachi asked with a stoic look.
Issei stiff, nervously sweatdropped. "I-I don't know w-what you talking a-about..."
Sachi sign. "You know full well what I mean-"
"A-Anyway! I have a ton of homework to do!" Issei quickly went upstairs, to avoid scoldings from his little sister.
Signing again, Sachi decide to go to her room to do her homework. Once entering it, her room is what you were expecting from a girl of her age, and she seems to be a western fairy tale fan with a select few items themed after them; a butler rabbit clock, a rose lamp, an apple shaped frame, even a duckling plush. So she likes fairy tale at her age (10) with a few books in the bookshelf, got a problem?
"Oooooh~! Please accept his confession, Mika!" Sachi exclaimed excitedly. At the moment, she's reading a shoujo manga (just because she's a fairy tale fan doesn't mean she can't liked shoujo manga) and she was reading the part where the male character confessed to the female protagonist.
After finishing the volume, she embraced the manga close to her chest. "Confession scenes are always the best…" She said dreamily, although she's a fan of fairy tale she's also a fan of romance. "How I long for a confession from a boy… or having courage to confess to a boy…"
Another thing about Sachi, she is kind of a boy crazy. Whenever she sees a handsome boy, she goes all awed and love struck, of course she also becomes nervous that she couldn't speak properly. She would like to have a boyfriend, but couldn't find one due to her nervousness and lack of courage to confess.
Heck, she even dreams of becoming a good wife.
Getting off her chair, she fist bumped in determination. "Yosh! I'll see if there are any shooting stars tonight!"
She went to her window and stares at the night sky, looking for any shooting stars to past. Now people might say she looks desperate, but she's not, like her brother, she has the same bad luck. So she hopes to see a shooting star passed and makes a wish. What wish she wants to make?
"I'll wish for the courage to confess to a boy I like!"
Again, she's not desperate.
So this is a sneak peak of the story on the previous chapter. So I've decided to give this idea a shot, I was in the mood to write this.
Aaaaand sorry if this is cut short. The full version of this chapter will appeared in the official story once it's published.
Ja Ne!
