My Newly Cursed Life Chapter 2, a high school dxd/ハイスクールd×d fanfic

I don't own High School DxD. I'm just doing this for the heck of it.

Chapter 2-The Existence of the Supernatural!

Upon waking up from my apparent nap, I felt a killer headache that has me a little nauseous. Not to mention the fact that I'm really tired, and that my vision is somewhat blurred at the moment.

I feel myself laying on something really soft, which is actually soothing my headache because of the overwhelming sensation. Putting that aside, I can't seem to recall what happened for some reason. The only memories I can recall are being at home watching TV, and going out to run a few errands. Although for some reason, I felt that I did something else but somehow I knew it wasn't important.

"My, my, he's waking up." I heard a feminine voice that sounded amused for some reason. Huh…? I think I might've heard that voice somewhere before. Just can't remember who it belongs to, though.

Oh well. I'm bound to find out soon enough, since my vision is starting to clear up a little. Although, I wish the same could be said for my headache.

"Taoki-san…!" I felt a pair of hands grab my shoulders followed by someone frantically shaking me uncontrollably. "Are you okay!?" No. I am not okay.

In fact, you're actually worsening my headache and nausea.

Now could you please stop shaking me? I don't want to create a mess for someone and then have to help clean it afterwards.

So I lightly pushed-who I know it to be Hyoudou-off of me as I rubbed both my eyes only to have my vision cleared again.

I began to observe my surroundings. From what I can see, I'm inside an old fashion-like office. There isn't much lighting in here, making it very dim as only a few lamps were on. Also, for reasons I don't want to know, there's a shower room in here. I can tell because of the floor board design and somewhat transparent curtain. The walls had nice portraits on them, too. And as I figured, there are plush sofas that are out together nicely with some tables. Overall, this place could some renovation work…

Afterward, I immediately took note of the other people inside this room with me. Obviously, as I heard earlier, Hyoudou is here as well. He sat next to me on my left side, as he looked at me with a concerned look. I'll ask him about that later, along with the others that are here.

Sitting across from me is a small, petite girl with silver hair that has two strands that slightly goes past her shoulders, two black cat hairpins on both sides of her head, and hazel eyes. She was eating a bunch of sweet while simply ignoring everything around her.

Next to her is a guy around my age with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a mole underneath his left eye. I get this odd feeling that I know him from somewhere. That's strange. Well, it could be nothing for all I know. So I'm not gonna pry on it.

Also, Himejima and Gremory are here too.

…

I have nothing to comment at the moment.

"Are you feeling okay, Nova-kun?" Gremory asked. She was sitting behind a large desk with papers, pens, and some other knick knacks on it.

I shortly felt my headache act up as I pinched my own forehead.

"Are you okay? Do you have a headache…?" the blonde asked, seeing my discomfort.

I nodded in response.

"Hold on. Let me see if I can get something for you." he said before walking off to another room.

I leaned back against the couch and sighed while trying to remember what happened. Unfortunately, the more I would try to do so, the more my headache would act up. Honestly, though, why do I have a headache? My health is perfectly okay. Not to mention both my physical and mental fortitude is alright. Speaking of my physical status, why do I feel like I endured a two hour work out session with my sisters?

What a disaster.

I really want to go to bed.

"It'll be fine." At this point, I felt soft fingers rub against my temples. Looking up, I see Himejima who sweetly smiled at me. To be honest, it sent chills down my spine. Even my ahoge is starting to act up.

*Wiggle*

"Strange." the white haired girl spoke, looking at me as if she were studying something.

"I'm so jealous, Taoki-san!" Oh, boy. What is this idiot complaining about this time? "To get a massage by one of the Great Onee-samas…!"

I'd rather massage my own head but she beat me to the punch.

"Alright, I'm back." the blonde haired guy announced, walking back into the room with a bottle of pills in his left hand and a glass of water in the right. Thankfully, Himejima stopped as he walked over and handed me both objects. "Here you go. I also got the water in case you couldn't swallow it yourself."

That's very considerate.

After opening and taking out a pill from the bottle, I put it in my mouth before drinking some water to help bring it down. Now, I need to wait for it to take effect.

"Do you feel okay now, Nova-kun?" asked Gremory as she apparently had been patiently waiting for me to get comfortable. Well, at least for my headache to ease.

I gave a nod.

"Okay, well, first off…I would like to welcome both of you to the Occult Research Club." she began, causing Hyoudou to gape for some reason while I simply blinked.

So I'm at the school, then. Okay, that's good to know. At least I'm not too terribly far away from home.

"Whoa! We're actually inside the old school building!?" Hyoudou excitedly said in awe.

The old school building, huh…? That would actually explain why the inside of this place needs renovation work. Not to mention this room awfully looks like the inside of a principal's office. And the outside does look like a Sunday school as well. Can't believe I never noticed that till now.

Anyway, due to all of the gossiping everyone in this school does, I inevitably learned about the Occult Research Club. As the name states, it's about learning about the supernatural and whatnot. However, according to the students, the club is supposed to be this…sacred place where all of the popular kids hang out or something. So, almost every desperate student with no hobbies tried to join this…"club", but no one is able to get in for some reason.

Even I have to admit, it is odd that someone would start a club and not have people join. Regardless if most of those people were to be fans, perverts, or both. Although, I suppose it'd be fine since the club does already have members.

"Well, anyway…" Gremory spoke. "I'm sure you two have a lot of questions as to what you encountered earlier. And I promise to answer every one of them, along with the information I am about to tell you."

Encountered? Did we encounter someone or something earlier…?

Noticing my confusion, Hyoudou was the first to speak, "Don't tell me you forgot already, Taoki-san? Remember, Yuuma-chan was suddenly a sexy adult-like babe, had these black wings, and tried to kill us with some weird looking spears…!"

Did you really have to include that "sexy babe" part?

Honestly, that wouldn't be a good description of anyone at all. No matter whom they are or what they look like.

Anyway, now that he mentions it, I sort of do remember something like that happening…

That's right!

I was on my way back home by walking through the park, until I saw that Yumma girl transform and sprouted raven wings. Most of it is still a bit unclear, but I certainly do remember that happening.

"I see you're starting to remember a little." Gremory remarked. "Don't worry, considering what you did earlier, the toll on your body is still fresh."

…What I did? Just what exactly happened when I was asleep?

"Anyway, 'Yuuma' wasn't her real name. It was just an alias to fool you." she said as I carefully listened. "Obviously, as you've both seen, she isn't a human being. She's a Fallen Angel."

…

Excuse me?

"Umm, can you run that by me again…Rias-sempai?" Hyoudou asked in an awkward, yet confused tone. I hate to admit it, but I'm on the same boat with him. "What do you mean by 'Fallen Angel'?"

"Listen, what I'm about to tell you is going to be hard to believe. However, for the sake of time, and the fact that your families must be worried about you both…I'll try to minimize the story as much as I can."

As much as I want to get a full detailed explanation, I have to agree with her on this one. I'm sure my sisters will come back home anytime now. So I have to watch my own time as well.

"First, we'll go back to the beginning." she began, causing me to raise a brow. "Before humans came into existence there were Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels. And because Fallen Angels were exiled from Heaven, all of them had taken refuge into the Devil's homeland...the Underworld."

Okay, where is she going with this…?

"However, due to many conflicted odds between these races, a war had begun. This was known as the Great War." Is she trying to be dramatic? "The reason we call this the "Great War" is simply because this one lasted longer than any other in history." Yeah, I'm going with dramatic. "As the casualties continued, a treaty was called in for, so every leader in the Three Factions agreed to never cross each other."

Basically, this "history lesson" is to teach us that God, Angles, and Devils exist. If so, then this is just a waste of time. No offense to any believers out there, but I'm the type of person who needs to see A LOT of proof and evidence to admit that something is real. Plus, I don't believe in this stuff. So there's no way I'm going to believe all of this Christianity stuff is real, just because someone, who hasn't given me a reason to believe, is telling a story that sounds like it should be in the bible or whatever.

"So, in short, we're all Devils and the supernatural is actually real. Plus, both the school and this town is my territory, though I do share it with someone else who's also devil here."

Alright, I'm just going to forget this ever happened and go home. Honestly, I should've known this would have been a bunch of nonsense.

I stood up from my seat as everyone's gazes were on me. Prompting to ignore them, I walked over to the door and was about to reach for the knob.

"Leaving us so soon? We're still in the middle of a conversation." Himejima said in a fake sweet tone. Seriously, that's only prompting me to leave even more.

My hand touched the knob and I pulled down the handle, slightly opening the door, until the blonde haired guy came rushing over to my side.

"Hold on a second, Nova." What the heck is with that redhead and this guy calling me by my first name? I am not that close to any of you, you know? We literally just met, and I want nothing to do with this. "By the look on your face, it's obvious you still don't believe us. So how about we show you proof?"

Then you probably should have done that in first place.

Even though I know it would be farfetched, I turned back to face all of them as they suddenly began to sprout bat-like wings from their backs.

…

Wait, what?

Thinking I might have been drugged thanks to that pill I swallowed earlier, I rubbed my eyes only to see them with their wings still.

"AH!" screamed Hyoudou, his eyes widen in pure shock. Again, I hate to say this, but I'm on the same boat with him.

Sigh. Alright, I'm convinced.

I simply went back to my seat and sat back down. Now that they've showed me their evidence as to being Devils, which is them sprouting wings, I have to properly listen to what they have to say.

They dispelled their wings as the blonde haired guy took a seat in another sofa. It was the one next to where Hyoudou and I are sitting.

I look back at Gremory seeing that she was about to speak again.

"Oh!" Before she could get a word out, the blonde haired guy suddenly spoke up, making her stop as we all looked at him. "I'm sorry, Buchou. There's actually I want to ask Nova real quick."

Now that's a surprise. What would he want to ask me?

"Sorry, I'll make this quick." he said before looking at me. "Do you, by any chance, know who I am? The only reason I ask is because I couldn't help but notice you looked as though you didn't recognize me."

Should I? Really can't say whether that's true or not because I just met you and everything. Also, even if I did know you from somewhere, I probably wouldn't remember you either way.

"That's quite a surprise." the white haired girl said, looking at me.

"My, to think there would actually be someone who doesn't know who Yuuto is. That's certainly interesting." Himejia said.

Just what are they getting at? Is he someone famous or something?

"Ha! That's Taoki-san for ya! Of course he wouldn't bother to know who pretty boy is!" laughed Hyoudou.

"To think I'd ever see the day."

I'm going to lose it if someone doesn't tell me anything. Is he supposed to be someone I should know?

"I see you're getting a bit agitated." the blonde said. Yes. Yes I am. "Sigh. Oh well. My name is Yuuto Kiba. We're actually in the same class together…" Are we? "You didn't know that, did you?"

Not really. Anyway, nice to meet you, I guess...

Kiba simply laughed.

Great…So now I know who he is, a classmate of mine who I never had any interest of knowing. Can we move on now?

"Koneko Toujo." spoke the silver haired girl.

I blinked in confusion as I looked at her.

"My name." she simply answered.

Ah. Well that's good to know I suppose.

"Taoki-san…!? How could you possibly not know who the school mascot is?" Hyoudou yelled, literally blowing off one of my eardrums. Geez, I better not have problems because of you. And when did this school have a mascot? Did the board decide to make a symbol for the sports team…?

Wait. Now, I'm the one getting off topic.

"Wow, you sure are rare one Nova-kun." Gremory said with a hint of amusement in her tone. Seriously, can we just get back on topic? The sooner you explain all this, the sooner I get to go home. "Anyway, we're off topic so I should get to back to explaining everything."

…Finally.

"So, as you have just seen, we're all devils. And the girl you encountered was a Fallen Angel, who was after Issei-kun because of the powerful item inside of him."

I slightly tilted my head. Does this guy carry something that relates to the supernatural?

"I'm carrying something…?" he questioned.

"We're positive Issei-kun wields a Scared Gear." she said, only making us ask more questions than getting answers.

"What's a Scared Gear?" Hyoudou asked.

"Powerful items that have been given to humans by the Biblical God." she continued. "Each one is different and posses unique abilities individually. Humans that may have possessed one were said to be powerful and influential. It's also said to enact miracles, too. Additionally, it's highly possible that some famous historical figures may have possessed one."

…Seriously? Wow, I wonder if some of the famous astronomers possessed one of these Scared Gears. It would be interesting to learn if they did. Although, I suppose it doesn't matter. These gears are just tools to us, so it's basically the user. Moreover, it's about human potential.

However, I am skeptical about these things enacting miracles, since that would mainly be plain luck. Not to mention that some of those historical figures weren't good people in life.

Aside from that, if Gremory knew Hyoudou possessed a Scared Gear from the start, then why didn't she go to him and only inform him about all of this stuff? Moreover, a little while ago, she did say that both this school and town is her shared territory. If that's true, and if she also knew "Yuuma" was a Fallen Angel, why didn't she warn him or at least tell him about the supernatural? Something's not right here.

But…I suppose the question I'm more concerned about: Is why I'm here? It's obvious that no ordinary person would be having this kind of discussion with people, who are Devils, and get to walk away scot free. That is, if they have one of these Scared Gears like Hyoudou…does that mean I have one?

…

Oh crap…!

God, now that I know you actually exist up there, please let it be that you didn't knowingly give me one of these Scared Gear items! If so, please take it away, because I don't want to be a target for this Supernatural World! I just want to go on with my average life…!

Please let it be that I do!

"If that's true…!" Hyoudou began. "That must mean Taoki-san has one, too! Isn't that right!?" I hope not. "He has to, because…of that weird thing he did not too long ago."

…Weird thing? What are you talking about? Now that he mentions it, I seem recall Gremory saying something about me doing something.

"That enormous power did come from Nova, didn't it?" Yuuto asked.

Seriously, what are they talking about? It's obvious something happened when I was unconscious.

Taking notice of my confusion, Gremory spoke, "You still don't remember, do you?"

Will someone just tell me before I decide to leave?

"You seriously don't remember, Taoki-san?" Hyoudou said, making me look at him. "Well then, I'll tell you everything that happened!"

Oh joy.

(Flashback)

"Now die!" Mittelt yelled, throwing a spear of light at the black haired boy.

Meanwhile, Issei looked at the scene in horror knowing he couldn't save his friend or fight these strange angle winged girls. How could he? All he has is a freakin' stick for crying out loud! Hell, even though Nova didn't say anything, that was most likely the thought that ran through his mind. Worse of all, it's going to be because of him that his friend is going to die! But…after hearing Nova's plan about him becoming the bait while he ran away, that wasn't something he couldn't do!

Nova managed to convince him of running, though it didn't last very long due to a guilty conscious and the fact that he knew it was wrong to leave a friend behind. So instead of getting help or running away, Issei foolishly went back to try and help. Once he was back into the park, he instantly noticed the black haired teen doing some type of…what's it called…acrobatics? Yeah, that. He was him doing that while dodging those weird light beams.

At first he thought his friend looked cool being able to do things like that, but instantly shoved that thought to the side knowing he had to help him. So, he picked up a nearby stick and stupidly broke his friend out of concentration by calling out his name.

And that's how they ended up in this hellish situation.

To Issei, it was as if time had slowed down, giving him enough time to watch his friend's death right before his eyes. He didn't want that, far from it…After all, Nova was willing to risk his life to save his! He may be a pervert, but he certainly knows good people when he sees them!

So…!

Please! Someone! Anyone…! He doesn't want to die, and he certainly doesn't want Nova to die either! So, please…! Save them!

Just then, inside his pocket, the flyer that he received earlier with a strange circle on it began to glow. Soon a glowing red magic circle appeared before him. Then, a feminine figure began to materialize from it only to reveal a certain red haired famous school idol.

Rias Gremory.

Issei could only gape at the arrival of the red haired beauty. However, before either of them could say anything, something happened…

An enormous surge of power suddenly overwhelmed everyone, making them look to see it coming from Nova. His body had gone through a dramatic change. At first glance, one would think that he was nothing but a silhouette because most of him is darkened out. Oddly enough, there were many colorful specs on his body that seem to resemble stars from the night sky in outer space, along with a multi colored aura surrounding him. His eyes were pure white as they intensively glowed

This caught everyone by surprise as they could only stare at him in both awe and fear.

A moment of silence passed until Mittelt broke it.

"W-W-What the hell…?" That was everyone's thoughts as they stared at the boy, who simply stood there doing nothing. They soon noticed the spear of light floating in the air, until it was somehow absorbed into his body.

"Did…he just absorb it!?" cried Raynare, her eyes widen. "No! More importantly, just what the hell is he!? This power…! It's so…overwhelming! I can hardly breathe!" Her overall instincts were screaming, begging for her to get out of there knowing something bad would happen if she provokes him. But her pride as a Fallen Angel, and the fact she has a duty, wouldn't allow her. "Screw this! I refuse to retreat!"

"Are you stupid!?" Mittelt yelled.

"Shut up! We shouldn't be thrown off by something like this! He's still just some human, nothing more…!" Raynare argued.

"T-Taoki-san..?" Issei uttered, staring at his friend in awe.

Rias gulped seeing the black mass and colorful aura beginning to take shape and form. And it took the form of a familiar creature…

ROAR!

…A dragon!

Thankfully, from what she could tell, the dragon wasn't in a physical form. But the immense power it emitted, however, still felt as if the real thing was actually here with them.

"O-Okay, I'm outta here!" Mittelt immediately flew away not wanting to know or see what this guy is capable of.

"Fine…! Be that way!" Raynare scowled before conjuring two spears of light in her hands. "As for me, I'll handle this human first, and then get rid of that pervert!" With that said, she propelled to the motionless boy, preparing to jab both her spears through his body.

Suddenly, Raynare became suspended in midair as she was covered in the same multi color aura as him. Her body felt extremely heavy as if weights had been put on her. Then, she crashed into the ground as crevasses formed underneath her. The Fallen Angel coughed blood and then felt herself slowly lift back into the air before crashing into a tree, breaking the bark with tremendous force.

"D-Dammit!" she cringed before getting propelled further into the air, until she was out of sight.

"Afterwards, you went back to normal and passed out." Gremory said.

…Is that really what happened?

"I have to admit, that power of yours is really something. I doubt there isn't anyone in the Three Factions who hasn't felt it."

So does that mean I'm going to get roped into this crap? 'Cause I'd prefer not to.

"We certainly felt it from all the way over here." Himejima giggled before looking at me. "You certainly are holding a lot of power in you."

You stay away from me. Being around you would be like having the plague around…

"But…it's strange." Kiba spoke, making me look at him. "We all felt that power ourselves, however, now…I can't feel anything."

"Odd." Toujo spoke, continuing to look at me with an analytical eye. Seriously, am I science project to you or something?

Anyway, I should be considering myself lucky these guys can't sense my "power" or whatever anymore. Besides, I'm an ordinary guy living a simple life and that's how it should be. No need to be involved in this stuff.

I should get back home now. I got all the answers I wanted. So there's no need to stay here anymore. Of course, I won't tell anyone what happened or about how the supernatural is real. No one would believe me if I did so. Forgetting about this and going back to my regular life is for the best.

"It was scary and awesome!" Hyoudou exclaimed. "Though for some reason, my right arm was acting up when that large dragon thing appeared…"

"That's probably where your Scared Gear resides." Yuuto told him.

"Not to mention the high possibility that it could contain a dragon as well." Gremory said before pulling a red pawn piece from her pocket. "Tell me, are you two familiar with chess?"

Hyoudou shook his head.

I nodded.

I used to play the game as a hobby.

"Well the one in my hand is called an Evil Piece. If I put this on your person, the piece will absorb itself onto you and reincarnate you into a Devil." she explained.

…

I'm out of here.

Getting up from my seat, I walked over to the door again.

"Wait, Nova-kun!" she pleaded as I simply ignored her.

I instantly knew what she was going to say and try to do after she explained how these Evil Chess Pieces things work. She wants to turn Hyoudou and I into Devils, join her little group, and more likely bribe us with some ridiculous promise for riches or something. Overall, this is supposed to be for our protection now that these Fallen Angels know that we have something.

In all honesty, I really don't want this "power" or whatever's inside me. I'm better off fading into the crowd and being a background character. Nothing more…

So I turned the knob, with nobody stopping me this time, and walked out.

(Third P.O.V)

"T-Taoki-san, wait…!" Issei exclaimed as he chased after him.

"Oh my, Nova-kun is such a mystery." Akeno giggled in amusement.

"I'd say he's sharp." Koneko spoke as they looked at her. "I can see that for most part he was rather annoyed by this than anything else. After learning we were all Devils, he simply admitted to it and continued to listen. However, as we reached the end point, he knew everything that he wanted before deciding to leave. When you presented the Evil Pieces, he instantly had about enough right there."

The other Peerage members were surprised that their friend was talking so much, and that she somehow figured out someone's personality by looking at him most of the time.

"…Did you learn all that by observing him?" asked Yuuto.

"Pretty much." she replied.

"Ah, I see." Rias said. "In any case, I'm worried if those Fallen Angles will go after Nova-kun. That power he emitted was extremely immense and heavily dense...Like I said in my story earlier, it was just so hard to breathe and it felt like I was getting drained for some reason."

"Should we keep an eye on him?" Yuuto asked. "It'll probably be easier for me, since I do share a class with him."

"I guess that should be alright…for now." she said. "I'm worried what the other Factions will do after they track him down, if they can…"

"I suppose you're right."

This day has been nothing but a drag for me. I had to save a pervert, almost get killed by a myth, wake up with a headache and nausea, learn most of the religious stuff is real, Devils exits, and there really is a Heaven and Hell. Not to mention these mystical objects that God has give humans for some reason.

Sigh.

Hopefully, a good night's sleep will get rid of some of this stress. This is not what I need in my life.

"Taoki-san, wait up!"

Are you kidding me? I'm not gonna stop. I've had more than enough of seeing you for today, thank you.

"Don't tell me you're just going to go back home after hearing about this?"

He really is stupid.

"I mean…you heard what Senpai said, right? We're already targets for those Fallen Angel guys. So what's the harm in turning to them for help?"

For starters, I don't care about this whole supernatural thing nor do I want to change my species. Especially changing my species…It'd be disrespectful to the one I was born as, not to mention my very own parents who gave me life. As for being a target, well…I'm sure I can figure something out.

Oh, great. I just realized that I'll have to start talking to my not so schizophrenia voice inside my head. Geez, I'm practically leading a cursed life.

"Aren't you scared?" Hyoudou asked, making me stop and look at him.

Usually, I never talk much nor do any of you see me utter a word from my own mouth, but this long sullen silence is really starting to get to me. The atmosphere is tense and I felt something weighing on my chest. Knowing I had to give an honest answer, I directly look at Hyoudou in the eye before nodding.

I can openly admit to being scared, that much is guaranteed. And of course, becoming a target is risky; however letting fear run my life or running away from it won't solve anything. Even finding the easy way out isn't the answer either. So I'd rather deal with my problems, and find whatever solution I can.

That's just how I am.

"I see." Hyoudou said. "I never noticed how amazing you are till now."

…

Am I actually sharing a moment with this guy of all people?

"Maybe I'll just go home and think about Rias-sempai's offer. Who knows? Maybe I might enjoy being a devil. If so, then I can fulfill my dream of being Harem King!"

I don't really care what he does. But if he decides to change his species and live for a long time, that's his deal. Besides, I'll be happy knowing I'll go into my afterlife and not see him there. If God can make that happen, growing old might be the happiest years of my life.

"Anyway, I should head home now. I bet my folks are starting to worry. I'll see you tomorrow, Taoki-san!" he waved before running off.

I should hurry back home, too. Now that I know God exist, maybe I can pray to him about making my sisters normal, functioning people.

I know I've said (or implied) this a lot but I really love my peace and quiet. And the only way to achieve such a miraculous way of life is to be completely left alone. Now, I have nothing against people or anything, it's just that I like keeping to myself. I've just been that way as far back as I can remember.

So when I dream, I dream of being in a small comfy home that I would someday like to buy or possibly build, and just be out in the middle of nowhere. Okay, well, at least in a rural area where I can enjoy said peace. Hopefully by the time I turn 18 and graduate from school, the first thing I'm going to do is look for a new place to live in said rural area and then move out of the house.

Until then, all I can do is enjoy my wonderful…

RUMBLE!

Oh come on…! Are you serious!?

If you don't understand what's going on, my peaceful landscape is undergoing an earthquake while the beautiful sunny sky is turning into night. Usually, I love the night hour because I can star gaze and look for the constellations. But no….Not this time I can't!

"FINALLY!" beamed a voice that I knew all too well. "I HAVE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AT LONG LAST!"

Does it really have to yell?

I sighed before noticing more stuff had changed.

I watched as everything from within my own psyche had evolved into something that was quite pleasing to look at. The night sky had literally become the universe itself with all of the known planets in the solar system, meteorites, comets, shooting stars, etc.

No doubt this is the most beautiful, breathtaking sight I had ever seen in my life.

"Why thank you. I do aim to do my absolute best." Feeling a presence behind me, I turn to see a large creature. Looking up, I see a dragon.

Unlike the dragons that I've seen in movies and children books (my mother used to get me that for some reason) this dragon was very different from all of them. Its body was pure black but it was mainly made up of the cosmos itself as I can see many colorful stars from within its body. I stare into its eye seeing that they're silver. Lastly, its body was enveloped in pure silver aura that just gleamed and sparkled.

I could only stare in awe admiring how majestic it looked.

"Aw! You're making me blush!"

I immediately deflated. Thanks a lot of for running the moment, guy.

"Wait, what…?" he exclaimed, looking at me as if I had did something wrong. "Come on, we were just starting to get this partnership rolling!"

I really need to wake up.

"Hey!"

Shooting my eyes open I stare up at my ceiling.

…Well whaddya know. I got something I actually wanted.

[And that was to get away from me!?]

You ruined my wonderful dream.

[Oh come on! I made it super interesting…!]

Only for two minutes until you spoke those haunting words.

[Hey! I saved our asses last night…! You should be acknowledging me by now! Come on! Don't I deserve at least that much? Just give me some acknowledgement, man. That's all I ask.]

Sigh. Alright, alright, I'll finally acknowledge you. Just don't go around complaining all day in my head. It's going to become real hassle.

[Yes! Thank you! Thank you…! I was this close to going insane in here. Oh, what a relief…]

Just be quiet already. I'd like my head to retain its natural peace.

[But I am peaceful.]

Anyway, if we're going to be stuck together, I should at least know your name. So what is it?

[I, uh…don't know what my name is.]

…Huh?

[No, I'm telling you the truth. I really have no idea who I am. Or where I came from…]

Are you serious? You honestly have amnesia?

[Yes.]

What a drag. Okay, I suppose I'll have to call you something.

How about Vulcan?

[Vulcan…?]

It's the name of a hypothetical planet that scientist have questioned about since the early 19th century. Plus, the name has been really popular. So I figured it'd be a good name for you.

[Ohh…! That sounds really cool! Alright! From here on out, my name shall be Vulcan!]

You're a cheery one, aren't you? Oh well, I should get ready for school.

After I finished eating, I take a hold of my door knob ready to head out.

*WIGGLE*

Immediately, I felt my heart and my expression deflate in irritation. If my hair strand is wiggling, then something is going to go very, very wrong today. And something tells me if I open this door, there will be danger lurking on the other side just waiting for me to arrive.

[It can't be that bad.]

Quiet you.

[Aww…]

Preparing myself to open my front door, I slowly twist the door knob. And, with much reluctance, I flung the door open.

Note: Hey, guys. I know it's been a while since anybody has seen this story. Honestly, I was thinking of not continuing it, but I decided to keep it rolling. You know, to see how far this can get.

Anyway, I know some may be a little iffy about Nova's partner, Vulcan, having memory loss. But believe me, it's an important part of the story especially when it comes to the expense of Nova's misery when he reluctantly becomes further involved in the supernatural world. And if you're wondering what Nova's powers are going to be, well...you'll see when he finally uses them on his own free will.
