Hello and welcome to the next chapter!

Harem Master123; Thanks! Yeah, upon looking, seems like. Though there's a few differences, like that Takato wants to go to Heaven for more reasons than just reuniting with his family, as he hinted last chapter, and other things. Hehe, glad I could make you laugh~ Yeah, she's got her eyes, among other things, all over him. Someone does yeah, and it doesn't seem that hard to hide in that town, considering a number of people have and they didn't discover until later on. She was a little bit yeah, and she's gonna be going through her own problems, as of this chapter, as we'll see. Poor Serafall lol. Cool choices!

adislt; Well, I can say if I do, it wouldn't be a joke.

Son of Lupa and Hestia; Cool, thanks for the vote!

LoamyCoffee; Yeah, it just makes sense to be at least a little freaked out, no matter who you are. Yeah, he did seem to be okay with it, probably because most of the members were busty women, even then it always struck me as odd. Thanks for the vote!

BloodChamp; Thank you very much! It surely was huh. I like having some mixtures into it. Cool, thanks for the vote! And yup, here's the next chapter!

Squidlord; I did consider that one yeah, and I'll probably use that one in the future with another protagonist.

HolyKnightX; Thanks! Yeah, it would be a realistic reaction to be naturally freaked out. It would be pretty funny wouldn't it? I've got some funny scenes coming up as well. You're not wrong, I can say that Takato is going to be a Technique type of guy, where he doesn't fight with raw power, but still isn't going to be weak and if he needs too then he can bring the pain, but techniques are the way Takato is going to go. And thanks!

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks! Yeah, Takato is a pretty realistic person. He did yeah, even if Rias had a point about not believing it, it isn't like he had many choices. Hehe, it would be rather scary if Akeno did that. He did have it wrapped in a cloth so it didn't hurt him as much, but yeah, he wanted protection and he's got a will to survive as well. Yeah, at that point, he had enough of what was happening and just exploded at Raynare with some valid points. And yeah, Takato might not be as powerful as her, but he's quite intelligent and uses what he needs to to survive. Hehe, she did, lucky car troubles, and all~ She did yeah, Rias does care about what happens to him, clearly by what happened, she just went the wrong way about it. And yeah, that will be a good thing between them. Thanks for the suggestion!

BloodTyrant16; Cool, thanks for the vote! And yeah, I'll consider them, they're both good~

Warzone8x8; Thank you for the vote! And thanks, here's some more~

OechsnerC; No worries, I wont~ And thanks!

Tohka123; Thank you very much! He truly was in a shock, wasn't he? And yeah, he was quite close, how close they were, and what about his parents and all that shall be revealed in the future. Yeah, Rias and Takato had a sweet moment between them. And thanks!

hellspam; That would be pretty cool~ Hehe, those would be rather funny ideas~ Thanks for suggesting them~ Rias declared it, they kinda are in the sense that anime and manga are passions of theirs. Koneko is awesome, and we'll see a little more awesomeness in this chapter from Koneko as well. Hehe, Isane truly doesn't like Yumi being close to Takato, we'll see some funny scenes between them.

weslyschraepen; Thanks for the vote!

KobayashiSenpai; Thanks very much! Yeah, he was a little worried, then got over it, while Takato actually was adamant about not being a Devil. But, he isn't the type to hold such grudges forever, though if you piss him off then...he wont become the nicest of people. Hehe, Isane is a special kind of girl, who doesn't hold back, yet she truly is good when those lovely moments come. Ooh yeah, he's quite intelligent when it comes to diversions and fighting and such, he's going to be quite the strategist type of fighter, kind of like Sona. He's going to be powerful alright, he's never gonna be one of the weaker members of the group, I can say that for certain. And you're not wrong, who doesn't like that. It is going to be fun for when it happens, thanks for the vote! He will do yeah, he'll come around to the idea, after getting used to it for a bit. And thanks!

WS05; Thanks! Thanks for the vote! True, it hasn't.

Crenin; Cool, thanks for the vote! That would be pretty interesting yeah~ Indeed, he has one with Irina at least~ And thanks, glad that you are~

MAuthorian-WarriorOfBirthright; Thanks for the vote!

Lazymanjones96; Thanks! Here's some more~

Shu Ouma GC; He'll eventually have one yeah~ I wouldn't know what kind of powers to give it honestly.

WakeWalker; It does yeah, and thank you!

dxdlover231998; Thanks for the vote! Yeah that could be cool. Ooh I've got plans for the Phenex arc.

SenpaiMAN46; Well, that would probably be Takato's privates she would touch to get stronger, but yeah~ Hehe, she's gonna have that ability, for both. I could see that. Thanks for the vote. It would be yeah, but he'll awaken it before then.

Justin D; Thanks very much! That would make him rather powerful, huh. And that would be rather interesting.

Guest 1; Cool, thanks for the votes! And yeah, I shall eventually.

prism; Cool, thanks for the vote!

Silver crow; Hehe, yeah, thought I'd post it. He wont have them all straight away, because of a few reasons, one being that it is going to be something of a power up for later on, character development another, and a few other ideas I've got going on in my head. Thanks for the vote! Yeah, I don't see why not, that would be pretty cool actually. Yeah, that would be quite funny for some comedy as well. That would be awesome! It did look pretty cool from what little we saw. Yeah perhaps. Yeah, he's going through quite a lot as a Devil, and the storm doesn't stop here. She is yeah, they knew one another as children. Maybe she is, we'll see in the future~ He knows how to defend himself, and come up with ideas on the fly, we'll be seeing his more tactical side as we go through the fic. Hehe, it surely does, she can't escape the cars~ Yeah, that's pretty much how it went for Issei, Takato is different, even if Rias is beautiful, his life was turned on its head, so of course he'd be freaked out. Rias and Takato, are going to have quite the interesting relationship. It could be like that yeah, they could be interested in who would be able to have Vali act kindly like that. Hehe, maybe so. Yeah, perhaps they could join in, got some fun scenes for when that is going to come up. No worries at all~ He's not gonna get it right away, he'll be going through quite the emotional beat when he does attain it. Yeah, those sound awesome~ I like the idea of that~

Guest 2; Cool, thanks for the vote.

Guest 3; That would be cool, though I have to admit that I'm a little rusty on those games.

SomeDudeThatReads; Yeah, thanks for the vote, sounds good!

dragonslayerking48; Thanks for the vote! Hehe that would be funny~ It probably would yeah~ He'd get really pissed off huh~?

Guest 4; Thanks for the vote.

Neonlight01; He's surely not no. Yeah, I thought that it would be rather realistic if he did freak out a little bit about it. He did yeah, he wasn't going to be told what to do. He surely is, and she did yeah so he can defend himself. It's going to be a fun thing to explore when they meet again. He's going to be getting a few things here that might help for the future. He's quite the tactical fighter, and knows how to use his own surrounding's, and what not. And yeah, I thought it would be cool, thanks for the vote!

Lightwave; Surely has been, and I am glad you decided to do that~ He does yeah, he's lived on his own for a while now. Hehe, Takato better watch out yeah, Ise's gonna come for him. He is quite tough, why that is shall be revealed in the future~ Thanks for the vote! Ooh yeah, Ise is quite pervy, no matter the gender. Hehe, they became scared for Takato when Isane was on the prowl. Yeah, I always thought that it was weird that Ise wasn't more freaked out, so Takato is, not just for being a Devil either. I'm glad that you liked that part~ She was yeah, to show that she had a kind and caring side. They are yeah, one step at a time. I could see that happening, it would be cool. Cool suggestions~

Darkdragonslayerking; Cool, thanks for the vote!

whoisyoursenpai; It is going to be some rivalry for when they meet. Thanks for the vote!

Absolute Mirage; Thanks! Yeah, I thought that as well, so Takato showed a more real outlook on it. Yeah, Rias and Takato are gonna have a fun relationship to go down. Sorry, there are so many ideas so I thought why not just give everyone a chance. Thanks for the vote, and yeah, it is pretty cool~

Kreceir; Well, I am glad that you are, and yeah, he's going through a lot right now, so he's bound to change moods~

Guest 5; Hehe, that would be pretty funny, thanks for the suggestion!

Guest 6; Yup, that's my story.

Reviewer warrior; Yeah, that sounds rather interesting, I'll give it a think, and that sound does sound pretty fun~

tyson113; Aaah, thank you very much! Hehe, if it is, then I hope this helps your fix lol.

massone22; It does seem interesting huh. Thanks for the vote~

Well, with those lovely reviews out of the way, it's time to start the chapter!


The new Devils hard reality

"Waaaaaah!"

Raynare cried as she entered the Church. Her body, was covered in wounds. From head to toe, it seemed that the car that she was hit with...no, the cars that pinned her...no, all of the above, and beyond where against her dearly, and she felt the sting of each and everyone of them on her skin.

Inside of her mind, she cursed him.

Takato.

The one that had done this to her.

The one that had attacked her (in her warped mind anyway) and the one who had toyed around with her entire being. She couldn't work out the reasons why this had pissed her off so much, it wasn't something that she could instantly fix either.

She had to repay him for this.

For this injustice, she couldn't simply allow him to walk away with his life intact.

She had a vendetta against him, and that wasn't going to go away instantly either.

A blonde haired loli with a sharp face and dressed in gothic lolita, and a busty Onee-sama with blue hair that went down her back were there to greet her kindly.

"Raynare-sama, what happened?"

Mittelt, the loli girl, wondered towards the raven haired woman.

Said woman gave a small pant, and sat down onto the pew to the left of her.

"Fucking Takato."

Kalawarner, the busty blue haired woman, looked her up and down and saw the wounds that were on her form.

"Don't tell me that he did this...I thought he was dead."

"Well, he's not!" Raynare yelled. "He's very much alive, no thanks to Dohnaseek. He fucked up, and now I had to pay the price. And if he's alive, then that other girl might have been turned into a Devil, and my body is hurting me right now."

Raynare whined, feeling the wounds that had gathered across her body.

"Damn, a newbie Devil did this to you. Geez, what is this monster?"

Mittelt scoffed out, clearly an air of superiority within her eyes.

"He's a damn menace, that's what he is. But he didn't do all of this to me. The crafty shit led me into an oncoming assault of cars, and dangerous things, and I nearly died. Freaking scary bastard, he isn't just a Bishounen, he's a Bishounen with a brain! That's a deadly combo! I thought all pretty boys were idiots! But no, he was throwing home made bombs at me, using weird crosses, and his eyes like thunder were penetrating me. And I nearly died and the worst part is, he fucking got away! I mean like, seriously! He can't get away with something like that, can he!? He's a freaking human-sama that managed to do something like this to me! And I nearly died as a result! Come the freck on, I am terrified, and I wont allow him to overcome me!"

Kalawarner held a bemused expression on her face.

"I see, so a newbie Devil caused, all of this to happen to you, huh."

Raynare turned her murderous eyes on her form.

"You don't understand, he had weird powers..."

"Was it his Sacred Gear?"

Mittelt showed a scared face, but Raynare's eyes widened slightly.

"N-No! It was something else, much worse! It was his stupid mind that I hate! He hit me with a truck, or a car, I don't know! I couldn't see it! I got hit, skidded off a car, and then was pinned by two cars, and then he was like "Haha, bye bitches~" and did a fucking salute towards me, and I ended up becoming terrified as a result! I didn't even know whether I was coming or going honestly! I was scared for my life!"

Kalawarner began to laugh a little bit, she thought that it was rather funny.

"What a way to be defeated, being hit by cars, and possibly trucks as well. This Devil clearly has the advantage over you, doesn't he?"

"You don't know anything about it! He was a monster! A monster in Devils clothing! And he needs to be stopped! What if he gets wind of the plan to have Asia's Sacred Gear stolen!? Shit, I might actually have an aneurysm!"

Mittelt didn't quite believe Raynare was speaking such words.

She shouldn't be scared, that's what Mittelt thought anyway.

"For God's sake Raynare-sama, don't be frightened of a mere Devil scum! That's all he is! And I can prove that! Using your own brawn, why not just send an Exorcist to go and deal with him? He doesn't and isn't worth any Fallen Angel-sama's like us to go and deal with him."

"Who are you thinking of sending, Freed? He isn't the most sane, and he'd leave a trail back to all of us. What if the Devil of Gremory know about us? It could put a big fucking wrench into our plans. And I for one would not like to deal with the Gremory family, and I even heard another family lives here too from the Underworld. The, Sitri perhaps?"

"Hah!"

At that moment, Dohnaseek walked in.

His bemused face wasn't something that Raynare cared for.

"So, you got hit by a truck and cars, again?"

"It wasn't my fault! T-They tricked me! He tricked me! And it isn't my fault!"

Dohnaseek continued to laugh.

"That's cute, I find that rather funny. Yeah, lets just send an Exorcist. I'd say Freed, but he's out doing another assignment. I'll send another one to go and deal with the Devil scum. No need for us to be targeted now, right? Anyway, the idea I've got for the Exorcists in question shouldn't be much weaker than us Fallen Angels, they are good, they'll finish him off."

For some reason, Takato truly had gotten under their skins.

And they couldn't allow him to live because of it.

And this way, it wouldn't be on them for it either.

Well, that's what they thought, and hoped to believe. Either way, to them, Takato was on their hit list.


"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…."

Laying in the embrace of Rias after the night that he had just gone through, Rias watched as the younger boy slept on her breast. Compared to what he was like before, it seemed like he was quite relaxed at that moment.

Even in her head, Rias began thinking about what Isane said about him being shy, and it was a quality that he displayed well. She didn't understand that much about it, but when he slept peacefully, she couldn't deny that he had a certain, charm to him.

Rias was about to move when Takato's mouth parted in his sleep, and accidentally took in her nipple.

"Aaaaaaah~" Rias moaned out of necessity when he sucked on it during his sleep. "T-Takato, such a forward young man..." He snored, and she sweat dropped. "You're asleep huh...well, it can't be helped Takato."

Rias poked the young boy in the face, and caused his body to stir into awakened mode. Sleepily, his eyes looked over, and he saw a dazzling white skin before his eyes. Because he was too tired to care, he didn't even bother freaking out about being in the bed of a naked Rias.

Her eyes met his, and she smiled while he felt her breast in his mouth. Looking down, he in did fact see that her nipple had entered his mouth.

"Geez!" He pulled away, as Rias folded her arms. "S-Sorry! I didn't mean to do that! Ehehe, I don't know what came over my body when I'm asleep, and all, I wouldn't have done that while awake so don't become mad or anything..."

Rias looked on with bemusement, and let out a small chuckle.

"Do not be concerned, it was an accident, I understand. It is something you couldn't control. Fufu, you should be honoured, you're the first man to ever suck on my breast, however brief it was. And because you're my servant, I'll allow it to pass...this time."

Takato rolled his eyes, and looked over himself.

True to what she said, the bathing naked together in demonic power seemed to have healed his wounds.

If nothing else, it seemed like she did something to earn his trust, at least a little bit.

Even though he didn't like the idea of being anyone's servant, it still was something that he was going to have to deal with.

"W-Well, good, because I might let it pass that you turned me into a Devil one day."

Rias chuckled awkwardly.

"You'll have to give it a chance, being a Devil. There's no turning back now, so come to the clubroom tonight, after school, and I'll show you some perks to being a Devil and what not. There's many things that you could do as a Devil."

"Name some."

Rias cocks her head.

"Well, there's gathering a harem for one. Did you know that Devils, males and females, naturally gather harems? It's like a unspoken tradition, even my own Otou-sama has a harem, and is able to be with them. Maybe you could have one as well?"

"That's illegal in Japan, I think! And your Otou-sama has a harem…?"

Rias giggles "Fufu." and shows an adorable smile.

"In Japan perhaps, in the Underworld, it isn't. Think about it, the women around you could all grow to love you, and hug you like we just did in bed. And I'm sure they'd be okay with the nipple sucking thing you did."

"T-That wasn't my fault!"

He yelled back, but Rias shrugged her shoulders.

"Either way, think about it. I could help you gain a harem for yourself. I wouldn't mind if it appeased my cute servants. I like helping all of my servants have comfortable lives. Say, I know that Ise likes you, you could have her as one of your harem members~"

"Why are you trying to set me up with people? I could do that just fine on my own thanks."

"That's not what I hear." Rias blatantly says. "I heard you didn't go out with anyone before Ise, why is that? I'm genuinely curious."

"...That's not your business. No one interested me."

"But something about Ise did, didn't it?" Takato didn't say anything, and grabbed some underwear from the side. Rias continued to hold bemusement and made her way over to him. "What was it about Ise that drew you to her huh?" Again, Takato didn't say anything, and then she made it to him, wrapping her arms around him, pushing her large breasts against his back, causing his eyes to widen. "Don't worry, you can tell me. What was it about Ise that you liked?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, because I don't like Ise-san like that."

"You went out on a date with her."

"I went out with her as friends. That's all."

Takato denied it, and pulled away from Rias.

Pulling his underwear fully up, he turned to grab his school clothes, only to see Rias was sat on the bed, naked, and the covers weren't on, he could see everything that she had to offer, from her breasts, to her shapely hips, and even her vagina as well.

"PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!"

Takato yelled while his face resembled larva at this point, turning his head away from her.

Rias giggled.

"You're so cute. Ise was right, you are cute when shy."

"This isn't shyness! This is your lack of modesty! We hardly know one another, and you're freaking naked! Why do you insist that you are naked like this!? Seriously, there's something going on with you, isn't there!? Are you an exhibitionist or something!?"

Rias tossed a coy smile towards the young boy.

"You're my servant Takato, why would I need to be ashamed or anything? Obviously, if you weren't, then this would be awkward, but because we're family now, you don't have to feel embarrassed. I am sure if you asked anyone else in the peerage, I'm sure that they would be okay with you stripping and slipping inside of the water of a bath or something with them."

"...Peerage, that's what you call your group?"

Rias raised a hand to her face with bemusement.

"Yes, that's right. We're called a peerage, and you and Ise are very much apart of that."

"I think I understand. Still, I don't like the idea of being tied down like that."

"Why? Akeno was telling me that you didn't like being called a servant. Why is that exactly? What is it with that term-"

"Servant means no free will, and clearly, I have free will. Being someone's slave, does that sound like a life choice you'd make?" Rias didn't answer, so Takato sighed, and picked up his clothes. "I'm going to make breakfast now. As a thanks for healing me, I'll make you some as well."

"My, that's generous of you. I'd like-"

"We'll be having bacon and eggs."

"I was just going to suggest that."

Rias snickered out, as Takato rolled his eyes and walked out. Rias watched the young boy walk out, and checked him out from behind. She smiled in a slight happy expression on her face, and then picked up her own clothes.


By the time school rolled round, Takato had already at in his seat, and was fully prepared to take in the lesson for the day. But he didn't account for Ise to suddenly show up before him, and lean closer towards him.

"You totally missed it yesterday Takato!"

"Eeh, about what Ise-san?"

"About the fact that I got an answer...eeeh, Sacred Gear, maybe!"

Takato tilted his head, he was slightly amused by Ise's energy.

"Ooh? You did? What was it?"

"Ah well….I don't really know what it is yet, but I have it! And I can summon it as well! It is a cool thing that goes up my arm! And it is totally all mine as well! You know, things like this only happen to me sometimes, so I don't get to say it often but, I got lucky! Buchou also seemed pleased!"

"So, you call her Buchou now?"

Takato wondered, Ise nodding and sat beside him.

"She told me that's what I should aim for, and to call her that. Also, I am going to have my dream realized as well."

"What's your dream Ise-san?"

Ise developed a perverted look on her face, and Takato felt afraid at that moment.

"Kuku, wouldn't you like to know about that?"

Takato hesitated, he didn't know if he wanted to know or not now.

But, fighting down his worries, he decided to go for it, and see what it was about all of this.

"Actually, yes, I would."

"Well, if you really wanna know, then it is to do with you my Takato." Takato mouthed 'my' in reference to what Ise did, and she carried on, moving closer. "You see, Takato. I've had this dream for a while. And it has been decided that I am going to have you as well!"

"H-Have me?"

Takato drew a blank, so Ise filled in the missing pieces.

"Yes, I'm going to have you Takato! And you're going to have a harem!"

"What is it with everyone trying to have me obtain a harem!?"

He just didn't understand it.

But Isane drew a confused face.

"Who else is?"

"Ugh...Gremory-senpai."

Takato muttered, remembering their transactions in the morning and how she also offered the same thing.

"Well, even then! My idea is better! Because it is going to have me, as your harem Queen! And we'll have the harem to play with! Kuku, it would be fun to see Takato having foreplay with some other girls as well~ Maybe I could too and Takato could watch~"

"I-Ise-san." Takato blushed. "You never cease to amaze me with such things."

Ise tightens her hand, and raises it to the sky.

"Naturally! Because it is my dream! And I am going to achieve it! Takato, we'll be starting a harem together, isn't that lovely? We could see many things happening in the harem, threesome, foursome's and even fivesome's as well! It can be glorious! You and me, together, with everyone else! We'll make everyone happy!"

Takato had one thought when it came to Ise.

She never held back.

Even in a classroom full of students, she didn't hold back at all.

And even if the class heard it, she didn't care. Actually, that's one of the reasons he liked her, because she spoke her mind. She always said what was on her thoughts, and it always was something of a treat as well. Even if it did occasionally embarrass him that she would say something like that.

"Geez, she even shouts that..."

"She's such a pervert, that even she can't hold herself back..."

"Ewwwww, she even says things in earshot of everyone here..."

Takato heard the whispers of the others around and saw how it caused Ise to drop her face into a frown.

He had grown to care more about her, and he couldn't stand seeing her like that, so he spoke up.

"Fufufu, that's an interesting dream Ise-san, perhaps if we discover such things, it might happen. Who knows by now~"

Ise's face curled up, and he felt his hands being grasped.

"Yes! You understand me Takato! I am so happy! Eventually, we'll build the best kind of harem! Hahaha, this is going to be the best harem ever! Takato, you as the man of the hour, and I, as your Queen, shall dominate everyone! And we'll have the best kind of life!"

Takato chuckled at her enthusiasm, and couldn't deny that even when his life was odd, she made him smile.

"Yes, with your imagination Ise-san, it is quite entertaining."

Ise showed an even bigger smile.


When lunch rolled by, Takato inhaled a breath and was going to go and eat his meal, when Yumi walked through the door. Honestly, he didn't have a clue on how she got there so fast, because the bell literally run for all of the classes a few seconds ago.

However, she walked closer to Takato, and showed a small smile.

"Takato-kun, can I, eat lunch with you?"

Ise, in the background, made a Devils face (one that looked like normal ones from movies, red skinned, Devils horns and a grotesque appearance) and held it behind Yumi, an arrow pointing downwards.

Takato bit his lower lip, not sure if he should say something or laugh as he found it rather funny.

"A-A meal huh...oh, in all of the hectic morning of Gremory-senpai being there, I forgot to make a meal for myself."

Yumi scratched the back of her head sheepishly.

"Y-You could share one with me. I've made quite a bit today, so sharing would be good between us, yes?"

"A-Ah, I couldn't do that Kiba-san. It's yours and all, it wouldn't be right."

Yumi shook her head.

"No, please. It's the least I can do. So, how about it? Want to eat lunch with me?"

"Well, if you're going to offer, I don't see why not...sure, I'll eat lunch with you."

"Splendid! Please follow me to the roof! S-So, we can be alone, I have to talk to you, privately, okay?"

"Sure, Kiba-san."

Takato stood up, and walked out of the room with Yumi. Ise showed a jealous face as he walked away with the young woman.

Walking through the corridors, they heard the usual whispers about them, and because they're both blonde, and what not, they (the school) have decided that they are together, and what not. Takato didn't pay any heed to it however, and just walked like normal, and what not.

When making it to the roof, Takato looked around and saw that it was completely empty. Thankfully at that in Yumi's case, as she wanted to be alone with him. Not that he minded or anything, he wanted to make sure that they were alone as well.

"Please, sit down Takato-kun."

"Y-Yeah."

Takato sat down beside Yumi who sat down as well. She produced a lovely looking bento out of her bag, and presented it to him. With the sweltering heat that rained down from the sky, Takato felt it beating hard.

"The sun is quite the enemy, isn't it Takato-kun?"

"Y-Yeah…."

"Don't worry." She smiled, as she produced the bento towards him. "Have some, Takato-kun."

He picked up some chopsticks that she had given him, and took some.

As soon as the flavours entered his mouth, he was in new realms of pleasure. Sparkles surrounded his body and his eyes fluttered with renewed feelings.

"Aaaaaaah! Kiba-san, your meals are always delicious! Thank you for this!"

Yumi developed a shy looking face.

"D-Don't worry about it Takato-kun, it is all good. Besides, I have to say...about me being a Devil and all...I am sorry."

"Kiba-san..."

Yumi placed a hand over his own. The sensational touch caused him to feel good inside of him. Her eyes met his own, and she pulled closer. Her large breasts pushed against his arm, making his cheeks turn a little red.

"...If I had told you, maybe you could have been prepared...and now, you're a Devil...I am sorry Takato-kun. I should have done more to protect you..."

Takato adopted a kind smile and placed a hand under her tearing eye, and brushed it away. Yumi looked into his eyes, and only saw that he was giving her a soft gaze, the one that she had grown accustomed too by now.

"Hey, Kiba-san, you don't have to be so sad. I'd feel bad if I made a girl cry. Besides, I'm going to be fine eventually. I'll just have to learn how to not be attacked by Fallen Angels. Twice in two days, it isn't exactly amazing, is it?"

Yumi adopts a small smile on her face.

"N-No, it truly isn't. Takato-kun, I don't know what path of fighting you'll be going down, but I'll teach you how to use a weapon if you'd like? Perhaps, you could be able to make a new fighting style all your own. And to help you harness your Devil powers as well."

"...Hey, it would be cool if I could use some magical powers~"

Takato decided to look on the bright side and thought about what kind of powers he would have.

"Yes, now that you're talking about it~ You can use fire, ice, lightning or anything that you'd like. There's different things that can be done Takato-kun."

"What do you do?"

Yumi showed a smile, and put her hand outwards.

Intrigued, Takato watched as Yumi formed a sword in her hand.

"Whoa! Y-You can summon swords!?"

Like a kid in a candy shop, he looked at the sword, as Yumi continued to smile.

"Yes, I can summon different kind of demonic swords. Anything that I can imagine."

"Wow, that's kind like Unlimited Blade Works perhaps."

Yumi rolled her eyes playfully, and presented the sword.

"Would you like to hold it?"

"Yes!" Takato took the blade, and held it. Feeling the weight of it, it felt, as light as a feather. "The sword is good, Kiba-san. I like it. So, what's this bad boy, or girls, name?"

"I call it Holy Eraser. It's able to use darkness to combat light, and delete its existence. Of course, there's a limit to what I can do of course. But that's how it is, Takato-kun. I am sure that you yourself will have an interesting Sacred Gear."

Yumi finished off, as Takato gave her the blade back. She desummoned it, and it disappeared into nothingness. Takato, the anime nerd that he was, was fanboying about it. But he kept his composure the best that he could, and calmed himself down.

"Yes...I have one as well. But you get a cool one. And also, you can make any demonic blade huh. That's awesome, I bet I'll be stuck with a lame one. It would be funny if I was, then the Fallen Angels killed me for nothing."

Yumi had a pang of guilt run through her eyes.

"Takato-kun..."

"Kiba-san, I said before, it isn't your fault. Don't be worked up about it, you'll be alright now. And I will as well. To be honest, I'm kinda scared on what my future holds now..."

Yumi wrapped her arms around Takato's head, and brought it towards her bust. His cheeks turned red, as she stroked his hair gently. Her eyes fluttered when realizing that she did it, but she was also glad as well that he was going to be okay as well.

"Don't worry Takato-kun, I'll help ease your journey as well."

Takato would resist, but it felt, nice to be held like this by Yumi. Her womanly figure always was something he liked, and her breasts were perfect to lay on. He hadn't realized until now that her breasts were good, and he could take his time to enjoy them for as long as she allowed them too.

"Kiba-san, thank you for being here with me. Honestly, I would be too worried if you weren't here. My first days as a Devil haven't exactly gone the best. And I have a feeling that I am going to be going through a horrible experience even more now."

"Don't worry, we'll make it fun Takato-kun."

Takato looked up from her breast, and saw that she was smiling down at him.

"D-Don't say it like that Kiba-san..."

"But, I do want to have fun with you Takato-kun, and now that you're a Devil, I don't have to lie to you anymore. We can fully be honest with one another. Now, would you like to lie on my lap for a little while."

"N-No, I couldn't Kiba-san, it wouldn't be proper..."

"Nonsense." Yumi laughed it off, putting the boys head on her lap. "You can stay here with me Takato-kun, have a little sleep if you like. Or, just enjoy the gentle breeze that is between us right now."

Rather than fight it, he felt the soft thighs of Yumi on his face rather refreshing. Coolly, his face sank into the young woman's thighs and felt her fingers run through the young boys hair. He didn't mind, he trusted Yumi enough to be okay with anything she did as long as it wasn't too far out there.

This was enough for him, and he could appreciate the feelings that were between them as well.

Soon, Takato's eyes became heavy, and he drifted off to sleep.

Yumi could see he fell asleep and smiled to herself, bending down and gently laid a kiss on his forehead, making him smile in his sleep. Due to what she was feeling inside at that moment, Yumi was glad that even like this, they could still be as normal as they were before.


When Takato returned to class, the Sensei walked closer to the young boy.

"Miyamoto-kun, there's a call for you in the office."

Takato gave the Sensei a weird expression.

"Erm...who is it?"

He didn't even know who was going to ring him. He didn't have anyone. Not a mother, father, any extended family he was aware of. But someone was giving him a call as well. That didn't make sense to the young boy.

"They didn't give a name, but they said it was important. It is to do with a young girls condition, someone that you know."

"Okay..."

Even though he didn't understand what was happening, he decided that he would have to go and check this out.

Takato whisked himself away to the office.

Once getting there, the secretary was already on the phone, and upon seeing his face, she handed him the phone, and walked off to do something

"Hello? Who is this?"

[Hello, it's me.]

Takato couldn't tell who's voice it was. Yet, it sounded oddly familiar.

"Who is me?"

[You're Takato.]

Takato's eye twitched.

"No. I meant, who are you?"

[It's me, Raynare.]

"Raynare..."

Takato hadn't ever heard her real name before, so this was a complete mystery to him.

[Yuuma.]

She clarified, Takato's eyes widening.

"W-What do you want? Is this another way of torture? To ring me and threaten me?"

[No, but I reached an epiphany last night. And now, I need to talk about it!]

Takato's eyes blinked rapidly.

"E-Eh?"

[An epiphany, it is-]

"I know what an epiphany is! I don't get why you're telling me!"

[Because I need to tell someone and no one around here will listen to my problems! The reason why I am jealous of Kalawarner, is because of her larger breasts! It makes sense to me now, my anger for Kalawarner, is not because she's a bad person, it is because she has massive tits! Obviously, it must be weighing on my subconscious, don't you think so?]

Takato looked at the phone weirdly.

"I am not a counsellor or a therapist. If I was, I would have made a lot of money from you by now."

Takato chuckled awkwardly, but Raynare didn't care, and snapped.

[You're the best I've got so listen to me! I need this! It makes sense, don't you think? Also, that's maybe why I have a problem with women in general, because Azazel-sama is into women with large breasts. Yes, that makes total sense to me! And Mittelt is offensive because of her lack of breast! It is all making sense now! We need to speak about this!]

Takato didn't even know what the hell his life was coming too now.

But, he decided to play along, even if only for a little bit of fun.

"Yes, that sounds right. You have an insecurity because your breasts aren't as big as this Kalawarner's apparently and there's nothing wrong with small chested girls, that's just how they are. Now, it is time for inner reflection. What is it about yourself that you can make feel better? Is there a part of yourself that you wish to change?"

He didn't even know if this made sense.

Whatever was happening, he was just going to go with the flow, and hope that he would make it out of this alive, it would be something that he wouldn't be able to avoid.

Raynare thought about it as a long pause happened.

Then, after twenty or so seconds later, he heard her release a breath.

[...Well, I do become angry too often which clouds my better judgement, and that isn't good for your health, right?]

"That's right. I'm going to recommend some anger management, and a stress ball. When you feel stressed, squeeze the ball, and unleash your pent up anger onto the ball, you'll probably have to hold back on the light power thing though. And there are several places around Kuoh that offer anger management. Being around a group of people who also have their own problems could help your own. But don't attack the humans or that will be, wrong and will only add to your anger."

[Yes thank you doc...eeeh, Takato, it sounds good. So, when can I book a next appointment?]

"What is the fuck is going on…?" Takato thought to himself, then cleared his throat. "This time, in two days. Yes, get yourself booked to anger management, and then we'll continue."

[Thank you. Next time, I'd like to talk about my obsession with Azazel-sama, and where it could go.]

"Sure, gotta go, class, bye."

[Goodbye.]

Takato hung up the phone, and gave the phone a weird look.

Once again, he was perplexed on where his life was going.

"My life is so confusing..."

Murmuring, he dragged his body back to the classroom, and decided to keep this to himself, as he wouldn't even know how to describe this to someone else.


By the end of the day, Takato and Ise stretched their bodies, and stood up from their desks.

"It seems that Gremory-senpai, has summoned us again Ise-san."

"Haha, yeah~ Seems so~" Her hand went towards his, but he pulled away for some unknown reasons. "S-Something wrong?"

Seeing the hurt look on her face, and how he had pulled his hand away, he gently reassured her.

"Ooh, no not at all Ise-san, don't worry. I'm just not going to the clubroom right away. I have to get some thing's, I'll meet you there Ise-san."

"Sure, see you there!"

Becoming peppy, Ise walked out of the classroom, as Takato went towards his locker down the stairs.

Getting to it, he grabbed a few books that he would need, and then closed said locker.

Once he had grabbed his things, he made his way to the clubroom once more. Yesterday, he went there for answers, and today...he was going there for answers again.

He walked and walked, and waded through the students that were around and walked towards the old school building. However, when he got there...again, the same red eyes were looking from the window.

He felt like he was going crazy.

Each time he looked, no one was there.

But he felt it.

He knew that he did, yet why wasn't he ever quick enough to capture the sight of the person who would be spying on him. Even then, he didn't care and walked closer to the door. As his hand touched the door handle, he felt a beat of energy run through him.

"Devils...weirdness..."

He murmured to himself, pushing the door open.

As he walked into the room, he looked left, and right, down the dark empty corridors.

"They have the creepy look down. Well, they are Devils, so it would make sense. I am sure that she is obsessed with creeping me out though. Well, I'll just have to show my best kind of side, and not allow anything to stop us."

He calmly walked through the area, and went towards the room.

However, as he did, he could feel that like before, something was following him. Slipping in and out of shadows, he could hear the small "Munya." noises coming from behind him. But even with his enhanced Devil eyes, he couldn't see anything that could be following.

It was becoming creepy.

He hoped Rias wasn't doing this for a practical joke.

"R-Right, whoever is following me, better reveal themselves, now! O-Or I might have to become heavy handed with you! I know how to fight, and I also managed to get away from a Fallen Angel! S-So, don't even try and attack me! Because I can beat you down!"

He yelled, but to no avail.

Nothing came out, but he could hear heavy breathing.

What that was for, he didn't know.

But, he wasn't going to take chances, and he walked quicker than before.

His feet carried him over the area, and up the stairs.

Behind him, the footsteps could be heard, and were becoming louder and louder.

His heart nervously pounded against his chest.

He could feel it beating rather hard, and his body was shaking.

He didn't know what he was going to do.

"I-I'm armed! Don't come near me please!"

He yelled once more, running up the stairs.

And the footsteps were running as well.

He was being chased.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

CRASH!

He jumped through the door, and landed on top of something very soft.

His head was resting on very soft pillows.

"Fufufu."

Pillows that laughed apparently.

He blinked at the oddity of that, and looked upwards.

His eyes met the purple eyes of Akeno who smiled down.

"Ooh crap! Sorry!"

Takato got up, but Akeno clutched onto him, and held him to her bust, so she could play with him a little.

"Fufu, you came crashing into me. You looked so worried. Tell Onee-sama here what has you worried."

"Aah, I'll be fine thanks..."

Akeno petted the back of his head, while Ise looked on with a pout on her lips, Yumi chuckled awkwardly, Koneko ate her food normally, and then Rias smiled softly at the sight.

"Are you sure sweetie~?"

"Could you not say that in a voice that sounds like you're about to punish me?"

Akeno coolly placed a hand on the back of his blonde hair, stroking softly.

"Ufufufu, don't worry about it now sweetie." Takato thought that she truly was going to do something at that moment and he didn't know what that thing was. "Anyway, what scared you so much that you came running into the room? Trying to make a dramatic appearance?"

"N-No, this place is haunted!" A round of laughter came from Rias, and Akeno. But the others were curious as to why he thought that. "D-Don't laugh, I'm serious! There's something inside of this place, it was chasing me!"

Rias rolled her eyes, but decided to give it a chance.

"So, what was it that you saw?"

"Ooh no, they're too clever for that. But they are there, and real! I don't know what it was! But I heard heavy breathing, and it sounded like I was going to be assaulted! A ghost, V-Vampire, Demon from another dimension, I don't know what it was!"

"Hahahaha!" Rias gave off a nervous laughter. "D-Don't be so paranoid, there's no ghosts, Vampire's, or anything here."

"It was! I'm not making it up!" His eyes went towards Ise, and walked closer. He took her hands, making her smile very widely. "Y-You believe me, don't you Ise-san?"

Deciding to take this chance, Ise wrapped her arms around him, and brought him closer.

"Of course, if you say it happened, then it did~"

She didn't know if she did believe that.

But, this was a chance to be close, and she wouldn't give that up again. Yumi looked on and felt slightly jealous. She didn't say anything, she didn't even make it obvious, but she did feel slightly jealous about this happening.

"Fufufu, what affection between the two new members."

"...She better not corrupt Senpai, the pervert."

Koneko gave harsh eyes after Akeno's words, Ise turned to her, and stuck out her tongue.

"I will do what I want with Takato, loli-sama."

Koneko's eyebrows twitched, and she went to stand up, but Rias placed her hand out.

"Either way, I'm very glad to see you here Takato."

"Again, when did I say that..."

"Well, we've slept together before, I don't see what is wrong with that now, is there?"

"Then I should call you Rias-san or something?"

Rias put on a strained face.

"Actually, I would prefer Buchou."

Takato folded his arms as he sat down next to Ise.

"So, I can't call you by your first name then? Give and take, that's all I'm saying."

Rias inhaled a breath, and rubbed her forehead.

"During club hours, Buchou, take your pick outside of school. Though I would ask to show respect when all of us are in the company of other High Class Devils."

Rias compromised, so he consented.

"Sure, that sounds good Buchou~"

Rias nodded her head, seeing that he compromised and then continued.

"Alright, as I was saying, since you're both here now, it is time to get down to the work of the Devils. Today, and for a few days afterwards actually, you'll both be going out and doing something which I like to call, leaflets."

"And by leaflets you mean..." Rias produced a leaflet. "An actual leaflet. Of course."

Ise finished off, as Takato gave her a curious look.

"Eeeh, perhaps this is a dumb question, but why do we have to deal with the leaflets exactly?"

"Because it is apart of growing as a Devil." She inclined her head as she continued. "While you do this, and other things, you can progress as a Devil. And progressing is...actually, you also said what your prospects could be, Takato. Am I right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Well, if you so desire, you can work hard, and make a name for yourself."

At that...Takato's heart skipped a beat.

"Make a name….for myself?"

Rias saw a thought growing in his eyes, so she continued on with it.

"That's very correct. If you work very hard, deliver these leaflets, and become strong, I don't see why you couldn't make a name for yourself. To become famous, and other things that you might desire. If it is my servants, then they can achieve many dreams. That's also something to aspire too, right? For you, who said that you didn't have a direction, this could be a direction. And if not fame, then there are things to aspire too. You can aim for High, even Ultimate Class Devil."

"Which are you again?"

"High Class."

She stated with a small smile on her face.

That, made him all the more intrigued.

"S-So, if I become an Ultimate Class Devil, then that means I would be higher in status than you?"

Rias wasn't sure where he was going with this, but something seemed to be going on in his mind.

"Well, technically yes. do...you want to be in a higher status than me?"

"I just wanted to know, it doesn't really appease me that much because I don't know much about it. Heck, I've been a Devil for, just under two days now, so my new Devil life can go into various direction. I don't have to decide anything now, right?"

Rias nodded her head.

"Exactly, there's plenty of time for that later on. For now, it is time to deliver the leaflets. Each of you shall be given a set to deliver."

"Fufu, then I can go with Takato and..."

As Ise was about to suggest something pervy, Rias raised her hand.

"No, for the next while, you two shall be accompanied by Yumi and Koneko."

"Ugh, not Kiba!"

Ise made a sour face, while Takato cocked his head.

"This wouldn't have anything to do with the Fallen Angels, right?"

"You've already been targeted, and I can't take the chance that you'll be targeted again. And until you can both defend yourselves, then you shall be accompanied. Ise, you'll be going with Yumi, while Koneko, you'll be going with Takato."

"Yes ma'am."

"...As long as it isn't the pervert, I'm good."

Yumi and Koneko answered normally. Takato was okay with it, he didn't have any qualms with Koneko so that was fine. But Ise on the other hand, she wasn't exactly thrilled about going with Yumi and voiced her thoughts.

"N-No! It can't be! Can't I go with Takato instead!?"

Rias denied her immediately.

"Sorry Ise, but if you go with Takato, you wont be able to work that well. You'll be distracted."

"I'm fine with that!"

"Well, I'm not, so you'll be going with Yumi, have fun."

Ise grumbled a few things about how it was unfair, and how she wanted to go with Takato instead as she didn't like Yumi at all.

Takato, produced a lolly and held it for Koneko.

"A lolly for the loli….hehe, how about now? Is it any funnier?"

Koneko shook her head, accepting the lolly.

"...Still a bad joke, but it is fine. The lolly will make up for the joke."

"Ehehe, I see. Well, glad to be working with you Toujou-san."

"Call me Koneko-chan. Everyone does."

Koneko replied while licking the lolly, so Takato nodded.

"Sure, Koneko-chan. I can do...wait." His eyes went towards Rias. "What about my Sacred Gear thingy? When are we doing that?"

"Well, once you've done these leaflets, come back here, and we'll see what kind of Sacred Gear you possess. I think that would be for the best."

Takato thought that it would be reasonable enough. He had waited a day, a little longer wouldn't change anything. Besides, he would be with Koneko, and while he didn't know her power level, he was just going to assume that she was strong.

"Alright then."

"Not going to argue?"

"I don't like arguing with people, contrary to what I've been portrayed as for the past two days. But when I have my life turned upside down, I become quite, what's the word..."

"Confrontational?"

"Close enough." Takato agreed with Koneko. "Either way, I'll go along with it for now, partly because I truly don't have a choice, but eventually, there will be things I wanna know and I don't want anyone messing me around Buchou."

Rias bows her head.

"Of course. Then please go with Koneko for the moment and hand out the leaflets."

Takato nodded, grabbed the leaflets, and walked out with Koneko following after him.


A while later, Takato and Koneko watching him handing out the leaflets. Grunts work, that's what it was. He was sure that it was something like that. But to get answers, he would have to do a give and take. He'd have to give, and then he'd have to take some answers as well, that's how he hoped the world worked with the Devils.

"By the way, Koneko-chan?" Koneko looked up towards him. "How long have you been a Devil for?"

"Before I became a teenager."

Takato didn't exactly think that answer was one that he wanted to accept either.

"That's a pretty vague answer." Koneko shrugged. "Well, either way, you've been a Devil for a few years now, is that accurate?" The young girl inclined her head. "Do you like it?"

That question, caused Koneko to stop.

She had to think about that for a few moments.

Did she like being a Devil?

It didn't suck.

She just didn't ever have anyone ever question her about that.

"...I became a Devil of my own choice."

"...Really? You weren't forced into it?"

Koneko gave a shake of her head.

"No, I was brought to Buchou at a young age. I stayed with her, and decided to become her peerage member. ...Also, Senpai, it seems that you've had a difficult time since becoming a Devil, haven't you Senpai?"

Takato scratched the back of his head as he continued handing out leaflets.

"Yeah, it's made a mess of my head honestly. I always thought that I would get through this life, and go to the next, and see the people that loved me...I then had a shock to my system and that was being a Devil. I didn't know what to do...heck, I still don't know what to do. It's been two days, and my head is still spinning."

He confessed, Koneko could understand that to an extent.

"...Lost direction, it must be challenging."

"Exactly, my life is muddled right now and I don't know what to do."

"...I can understand, I also had a shock to my system once, and it caused me great pain."

Takato adopted an understanding face, and petted the young girls head, to her confusion.

"I'm sorry about that Koneko-chan."

"...How can you be sorry when you don't know my problem?"

"Because it hurt you. Even if I don't know the problem, it must have caused you great pain and no one should be great pain."

Koneko felt slightly close to him now. Neither understood the pain that they were in, but on some level, it seemed like they did have some sort of understanding with one another. If that was because of their pain or something else they didn't know.

But they knew that it would be a hard pill to swallow, whatever it was.


When they had finished, Takato stretched his arms.

"Be straight with me Koneko-chan, is this really necessary?"

"...Unfortunately, it can be rather boring sometimes."

"Heeeeeeh, I'm glad that it is done. So, I'm going to go and find out what my Sacred Gear is...say, Koneko-chan, do you..."

"No, I don't have one."

She replied earnestly, as they walked back to the clubroom.

Going through the streets, and taking a short cut towards the club, they went through a large thick area of trees. Because of the time of day, the sun was setting and the auburn sky was dazzling to Takato's eyes.

However, Koneko looked on, and then suddenly paused.

She looked around and took a sniff of the air.

"...Senpai, stop."

"What? What's wrong?"

Takato looked down at Koneko who held a serious expression on her face.

"...It isn't safe, Senpai. I can smell them."

"Smell..." Koneko tightened her hands, and she showed a strong face. "O-Okay, so, what is it that you smell?"

"The smell of Fallen Angel, and light as well."

At that moment, Takato became worried, and looked around. However, soon Mittelt came down from the sky, and with her, were two Exorcist type men as well. With guns on their hips, and bladeless swords in hand, the men gave threatening faces to Takato. Also, the loli Fallen Angel turned towards them, and became angry.

"You fucking what!?"

"...Whats wrong loli Fallen Angel?"

Takato said quickly, Mittelt's eyes focused on him and Koneko.

"The intel said that you'd be alone!"

"...He's not alone, so don't touch Senpai."

Koneko said it with a hard face, Mittelt turned towards her with annoyance.

"Hush you! I've been sent to take out that damn Devil right there! So don't mess with me either!"

"...Why do you want Senpai exactly?"

Koneko demanded, only for the Fallen Angel to snicker, and made a pink spear of light. Takato tightened his eyes upon the girl, and she merely grinned a dirty grin.

"Because it is my duty to kill off annoyances for us, and that's you sweet boy. Both Dohnaseek and Raynare said that you were an annoying person to deal with. I'll just have to prove that I can handle you easily, wouldn't that be good?"

Takato stepped forward.

"If you want to fight then-" Koneko pushed him backwards with her palm, but hit him right in the privates. "Ow...Koneko-chan..."

Koneko didn't pay any heed.

"Senpai, go and get Buchou, I'll deal with these."

"On your own? I couldn't leave you to deal with these on your own!"

Koneko tilted her head with a curious face.

"But, you can't fight Senpai."

"I can! I can take on humans at least! Fallen Angels might be out of my league, but humans, I can and will! Koneko-chan, I can't leave you, if something happened to you, then I wouldn't be able to forgive myself, so please let me help you."

Koneko thought about it for a moment.

She didn't know the girl Fallen Angels power, so she wasn't sure if she would be able to fight her quickly enough.

Even then, he looked determined, so she nodded.

"Don't die Senpai."

"You got it."

Koneko nodded, and the pair stepped forward.

Mittelt watched on, and put a hand to her mouth.

"Hohoho, so you two are going to fight? Well, this wont take long."

"We'll see about that."

Koneko jumped forward faster than the Fallen Angel could predict. Mittelt had a spear in her hand, and launched it at Koneko. Takato was worried, but Koneko didn't seem that bothered as she thrusted her hand to the side of the spear, and broke it apart.

"Whoa..."

Takato couldn't deny that she had amazing strength.

He couldn't even touch one, and she just broke it without even much effort it seemed.

"Heh! That's cute! Can you handle this!?"

Mittelt raised her hand to make a spear, but Koneko managed to get close, and land a direct blow against her person. The young girl let out an "Aaaaaaah!" and went flying down to the ground. Koneko gave chase, and had her own battle with the Fallen Angel.


Takato stood towards the two Exorcist's, and they showed fearless faces.

"So, you're standing against us, Devil?"

One of the people asked him directly. Takato didn't even hold back his own thoughts, and stepped forward.

"That's right. You two aren't Fallen Angels, right?"

"We don't need to be Devil scum."

"That's not nice." Takato called him out on it, and waved his fingers around weirdly. "So, which one of you is going to be facing me first then? You on the left, or you on the right?"

"Me!"

The one that yelled before did it again and came at Takato with his bladeless sword. Takato moved forward while running with his hands behind him. Then the Exorcist did something strange, and formed a light blade out of the sword that he had.

"Huh, a beam sabre….so, is this like a light sabre or something? That's copyrighted somewhere for Star Wars I think."

"Shut up!"

The man got closer, and swung his sword. He was good, Takato couldn't deny that, but the Fallen Angels were better, and he had managed to catch them off guard before. Takato dodged to the side, and got closer.

His fist went towards his face, but the man moved his sword to block the blade. However, Takato's other fist already embedded itself into the man's torso, causing his body to shake rather violently at the impact point, and was blown backwards.

"Shit! He knows how to fight!"

The other announced, and brought out the gun. Takato turned and saw him pull the trigger, but no sound could be heard. However, it was clear that a bullet was fired. Takato moved his body as fast as he could, but the bullet scraped his arm, and he felt the light affecting him.

"D-Damn..."

Takato didn't get a chance to stop, and he rushed around, as the man fired more bullets towards his body. Takato jumped high, the bullets followed. He grabbed a branch, and pulled himself onto it, only for the man to shoot there as well.

Thankfully, the branch managed to take the shot for him, so he retreated into the forest.

"Don't run away!"

"Catch me if you can!"

Takato yelled back, hopping through the trees. He was glad that he could now that he was a Devil. And he couldn't deny that even if he was a Devil, he could at least run away quickly, which was something that he personally enjoyed right now.

"Come on! Lets get him!"

The man on the ground lifted his body and took off running after Takato.

They ran into the forest, before it became eerie silent.

They looked around, both pulling out their swords.

"He could be anywhere, keep your eyes open."

One of them said to the other who inclined his head.

"Right, he's a crafty bastard according to Raynare-sama."

"Exactly, be careful."

The men nodded to one another, and looked around while keeping their eyes sharp, and open at the same time. Being concerned didn't even matter to them, they had to do something to find him. But he could be anywhere.

Was he in the trees?

Hiding behind bushes?

Or somewhere else?

They didn't understand at all, because neither could sense his presence. They weren't sure if he knew how to erase his presence or it was just luck that was on his side, they simply didn't know at all, but they weren't going to stop because he was in hiding.

"Come out, come out wherever you are Devil."

One of the men baited, as his friend laughed.

"He's probably run off scared shitless."

"Hahaha, yeah, you're right, he's too frightened."

"But we have to find him, or Mittelt-sama would be mad at us."

The men continued looking around. Skulking around trees, and stabbing bushes, and even shooting into the trees, but he wasn't there. He wasn't anywhere. He couldn't of gotten away, that's what they thought.

"Where could he have gone?"

"He's got to be around here somewhere. He couldn't have gotten away, we would have heard it. The noise stopped around here, so he's got to be around here. Find him."

"Yeah, yeah, I already know."

"Spread out a bit. He's a single Devil, as long as he doesn't get the drop on us, then we can get away from his field of influence."

They nodded, and split off.

One man went towards the more grassy area, while the other went toward a picnic type area with tables, and trashcans and other things as well.

He walked off with his sword, and stabbed it through a nearby trashcan.

"Come out young Devil. I've got you a nice light sword here to help you out."

He laughed out, finding it genuinely funny that Takato was being hunted like this.

As he looked around, he became a little frustrated, so he sat with his back towards a trash can.

"Fucking Devil scum, giving us the slip like that, how dare he? I'm going to fucking kill him when I get my hands on him."

He grumbled out angrily, and his rage couldn't be quelled either.

However, what he didn't know was the fact that from behind in the trash can, Takato's body slowly raised outwards. Tightening his fist as hard as he could, he took aim at the Exorcist's head, and punched with as much force as he could.

BANG!

A dull sound rang out from the area that he was hit, and he landed on the ground.

"Aaaagh..."

He cried out, as Takato got behind him, wrapped his arms around his neck from behind in a headlock, and his knee pressed against his back so he couldn't get up. He struggled, of course he did. But the man couldn't get away, he couldn't move from the boys knee in his back, and the fact that his arms were wrapped around his neck.

"Go to sleep..."

Takato muttered, the man's eyes became heavier than usual. He struggled some more, but he couldn't anymore. With the lack of oxygen, and the strangulation that was happening, he simply wasn't able to stay conscious anymore, and fell silent, his eyes closing and he was, unconscious.

Takato inhaled a breath of relief.

He didn't want to kill.

He didn't like the idea of it.

But, still, he wasn't out of the woods yet.

SNAP!

Takato's eyes flew open, just in time to see a blade of light heading for his neck.

"Damn!"

Takato avoids it to the side, but his face got cut deeply. Blood ran down his face, and his body shook from the new intrusion of light. But he didn't quit like that, and rolled onto the ground as the Exorcist hovered above him, and aimed his blade downwards.

"End your life you bastard!"

The man stabbed down once more, but Takato pushes off to the side, avoiding the blade all together. But the Exorcist wasn't done and he grabs his gun, taking aim towards Takato.

"No! I will not kill myself!"

Takato swiftly kicks the man's hand, knocking the gun out of it, it then rolled onto the ground, but Takato wasn't done, jumping upwards, and elbowing the man in the jaw, sending his body upwards.

"Aaaaaaaah!"

The man screams, only for Takato to see his chance, so he spins around, stopping after a few times, and uses the momentum to slam his foot deeply into the Exorcist's body that was suspended in the air for a brief few moments, forcing it away.

The force of the kick was so hard that he man was embedded into the ground, harshly. The ground shook with the body that was slammed downwards, and the man himself spat out blood from the intensity of the kick.

"Damn..."

The light in his system wasn't his friend, and even though the sun was setting, it still held itself in the sky, and beamed down on him, so he wasn't even at his best either. But he didn't have time to wait around, so he rushed the downed Exorcist.

"Fuck you kid!"

The Exorcist wasn't done however, and stabbed at him with the blade. Takato had the sense to dodge backwards, and rolled backwards when the Exorcist got to his feet, and swung for his body.

Takato landed near the unconscious Exorcist, seeing his bladeless sword, and how it operates, decided to take the chance, and took it, activated it in time, and used it to block the stab motion from the Exorcist.

"Heh, kid."

"What?"

Takato growled, pushing the Exorcist away.

The man swings his weapon right, and Takato heard the cutting of the air, something that he didn't like at all.

"Have you ever wielded a blade before?"

"That's my privacy that you're breaking there, I don't wanna hear it."

Takato growled out, but the Exorcist laughed.

"Otherwords, no."

"Hey, it is my own problem if I have or not. It isn't your problem. Either way, I wont allow you to defeat me and definitely, I wont be beaten by your blade either. Even if you stab me, I still wont allow you to win against me."

"We'll see about that!"

The Exorcist swung for Takato, who did a very basic block with the blade. Using what training he had in hand to hand, he pushed away the blade, and did a strike with his hand. The Exorcist blocked the attack, only for him to spin around with his blade, taking aim for Takato's body.

"Don't think so!"

Takato had the sense to avoid the attack, only for the man to swing again and again. Takato inhaled, using his sword to block the attacks. Thanks to his Devils new strength, he wasn't forced off his feet, and he definitely wouldn't back down.

However the Exorcist was good as well, he was better than average, though Takato didn't know that at this moment. His only goal was survival and that's what he was he was going to do, he was going to survive.

"Have this!"

The man stabbed left, so Takato avoided it, only for the man to twist his sword, and aimed it for Takato's body. He couldn't move his sword in time, and the blade pierced his shoulder. He managed to move just in time to receive a less fatal stab wound.

"Aaaah..."

Takato didn't cry out much, but the man did twist the blade inside of Takato's shoulder, then he kicked it out of him, by kicking Takato's body which fell down to the ground, blood bursting from his wound, and dyed the ground red in his blood.

"Haha, all you are in the end is a shitty bastard Devil. That's all you are, and you'll soon be dead. Because of this Sacred Gear inside of you, and the Fallen Angels were worried about you? Heh, what a fucking joke you are."

Takato's eyes narrowed upon him as he pushed backwards.

The light in his system wasn't helping either.

The sun wasn't helping either.

All of these factors, weren't helping.

Scenario after scenario ran through his mind, and he didn't know how he was going to get out of this.

But he then felt something touching his hand as he was pulling himself with his hands as the Exorcist approached.

It was a piece of metal.

Yes, it was metal, and he could feel the curves of the handle as well.

"Well, say goodnight bitch."

Takato took a chance and held up the gun close to the man's shoulder.

"Goodnight bitch."

A violent shot of the gun pierced the man's arm.

It was his own very good that he had kicked away before.

He was lucky it was there, or he could have died.

The man cried as blood erupted out of his wound. Takato, while winded, still managed to get to his feet, and pointed the gun towards the man's head. He was very close, so he wouldn't be able to miss, even if he tried.

Takato's hand was firm, and so was the voice he used.

"Stand down now, or I'll shoot you."

The Exorcist looked up towards him, and grinned wildly.

"You don't have the balls to shoot me."

"You wanna bet? Is it really worth betting your life?"

Takato said it with a cold voice.

He wasn't going to allow himself to be beaten now. He had the upper hand. He literally had the gun to the man's head. If he even tried it, Takato was willing to defend himself. He wasn't going to be the one who was on the side of the blade, not this time.

The Exorcist looked up towards Takato, and showed a sneer.

"As I said, you don't have the balls to shoot me. You shoot me, and you become a murderer, is that what you want?"

"I'll do it to defend myself."

"Hah! Killer, that's what you'll be! Unless I put you out of your misery!"

"Then try it, and you'll see my resolve, I promise you this."

The Exorcist could see that Takato was putting on a brave face.

Would he do it?

Would he shoot him to defend himself?

The Exorcist didn't think that he would, so he moved his sword.

BANG!

"Aaaaaaah!"

Takato shot the man in the leg, dropping him to the ground.

"Now you know how it feels like. Don't try anything with me again, or I really will kill you."

Takato threatened, the gun pointing at his head. The Exorcist breathed in and out through his nose, hard.

Takato inhaled a breath, and went to pull back, when he suddenly felt something hot on his skin.

Turning his head, he saw that from behind, a large fireball was coming for him.

"Shit!"

Takato jumped to the side, but his leg got caught in the flames, and dropped him down to the ground, causing immense pain to ripple through the boys body. The fireball continued going on, and hit the man behind him, charring his skin.

"Ouryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The screams of the Exorcist rang out, as Takato placed a hand on his burned leg. Even for a few seconds, the flames were hot. His eyes went towards the man again, seeing his skin was burnt, it was a sight that he didn't ever want to see. He could even see the flesh of the person which was hanging off, and it made him feel sick.

"My, it seems you dodged the flames. Well, sort of at least." A voice came out from behind a tree. "Don't worry about it though, you did well, Takato-sama."

"...Who's there? How do you know my name?"

"Shouldn't I know your name, Takato-sama?" Stepping out from behind a tree, was a young woman around the age of 20 or so, with many ribbons adorning her hair, and she was dressed in gothic lolita clothing, even having a parasol with her. "We haven't met in a while, but you couldn't have forgotten about me, right?"

Takato looked confused, but he held the gun up towards her.

The woman placed a hand by her face, and gave off a laugh.

"Don't point that thing at me Takato-sama."

"How do you know my name? I don't even know who you are."

The woman walked forward, spinning her parasol around.

"It seems that you haven't awakened them yet..."

"Awakened, what exactly?"

The woman chuckled once more.

"You truly are quite far gone huh. Well, don't worry, you'll eventually remember. For now..." Her hand waved towards the man on the ground who had been burnt. "To deal with scum..."

"Wait, he's injured, you can't just-"

Before he could finish, the woman activated some magical power, and sent out flames towards the man that made him oddly shiver.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

His screams rang out throughout the area, Takato grimaced and then pointed the gun at the girl, shooting off a bullet.

However, before it could touch her, a defensive barrier erected around her.

"Truly, a bullet of light, wont touch me. Haha, don't look so stunned."

Takato looked to the man, seeing that he had been burned to a crisp, there wasn't anything left of the man before.

"W-Why did you do that!? He was already defeated! There was no need for that!"

"Scum, that's why. Dirty creature, needed to die, that's all. He couldn't even do my bidding and kill you instantly." Her hand waved towards the man that was unconscious, and she activated some magic. Then, a few seconds later, the body rose up, taking out the sword of light, and aimed it at Takato. "See this? Even he is going to kill you."

"...What have you done?"

Takato didn't understand, but the woman giggled.

"Who knows. But, this one is going to kill you."

"Kill...Kill...Kill..."

Takato found that odd, and why he was acting like that.

"Why is he..."

"Magic, can do a lot of things. I thought this would be good. I set it up before, just in case some miracle happens...and it seems like it has."

The woman clicked her fingers, and the man rushed forward.

"S-Stop! I'll shoot you!"

Takato aimed the gun at him, but he didn't stop.

Takato fired a warning shot, which hit the ground nearby, but he didn't stop.

"Hey! I'll shoot you! Stop!"

Once more, he gave a threat.

But nothing came of it.

"He wants you to die. What are you going to do?"

Takato grit his teeth, and shot the man in the leg.

Nevertheless, he persisted.

"He should have been dropped! Why hasn't he!?"

"It's a magic that I picked up a while ago, he wont stop until you dies, or he dies. Your choice. It works on the weak, and this man, is very weak."

Takato inhaled a few breaths, shooting the man in places where he wouldn't die.

Even when the bullets hit him, he didn't even stop. Blood was pooling from him, even when he shot the man's legs, and he shouldn't be able to walk, that woman's magic was causing him to walk. To run. Right at him.

The woman laughed as the man hovered above Takato.

"He's going to kill you."

"He's being controlled by you!"

Takato argued, as the woman laughed evilly.

"Perhaps. But, he is the enemy, he would kill you regardless."

The man thrusted his sword at Takato who grimaced and moved out of the way, but because of his burned leg, it was tough, and he managed to get a cut on his arm. The light burned, and it caused his body to shake. But, the man didn't stop, stabbing down again and again. Takato couldn't move that well, and ended up getting slashed a few times.

Then, when the man brought his foot onto Takato's body, right on his chest, causing him to cough out blood from the hard impact, the woman showed a sinister smile.

"So, what are you going to do? Come on, show me."

The man looked down at Takato who looked up with the gun pointed at the Exorcists head. His hand shook slightly, the idea of killing someone, especially someone who was being controlled, it wasn't something he liked. Yes, this man had tried to kill him, but this wasn't his action, and now, he was in a death or kill scenario, he didn't want to become a killer, but he didn't want to die either.

His hand trembled at the idea of ending someone's life.

"Don't make me shoot you in the head...snap out of it."

"Sorry, his will is too weak. So, you're now going to die."

The man aimed the sword for Takato's heart, and went to plunge the sword down, and with a stray tear falling from his face, he muttered "Please forgive me." and ended the man's life.

He pulled the trigger, and it happened.

Blood splattered out of the man's head, entering the man's skull was the light bullet, and finally, it pierced his brain. It was a powerful gun as it even managed to come out of the other side from such a short distance, and because he was on top of Takato, blood dripped all over Takato's body from not just the wound in his skull but the others Takato gave him before, his face was covered in the man's blood, he didn't think there would be so much.

He fell down to the ground backwards, dead.

Takato felt the blood running across his face, his sweat was pooling off of him.

He, had just taken a life.

He actually killed someone.

In self defence or not, he did something that he vowed that he wouldn't ever do, and that was kill someone.

His eyes went towards the woman who smiled out.

"Good boy, you did well..."

"Who the fuck are you...to say that? You sick bitch..."

The woman played with her hair.

"Sick, perhaps. Bitch, perhaps not. Either way, you did well, I am pleased. But, I kind of want you to die. So, why don't you?" The woman put her hand outwards. Takato gasped, but suddenly he was surrounded by magical circles. "It is going to be, shocking."

The next moment, immense electricity ran through his body.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Yes, yes! Scream for me Takato-sama! You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear your cries! All the time, that bitch and her team drove me away, but now you're on your own, and alone, and you'll die, alone."

The electricity ran through him for a few more seconds, before it stopped.

He dropped to the ground, sparks going off his body.

His fresh wounds felt like they had been assaulted, and his insides felt hot.

The young woman though looked to be getting off on his pain, like she was a true sadist, with no kind qualities to her.

"Hohoho." She got close, and kicked the winded Takato in the ribs, the boy coughing up bile. "I wonder what your Obaa-chan would say if she saw you like this? She'd probably cry, to see her precious grandson like this."

"O-Obaa-chan..."

He croaked out, the young woman rose her foot. Takato used his hands to block, but she snapped her fingers, and electricity ran through his system again. He cried out "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" once more, the electricity was amped up to a whole new level, he felt like his eyeballs were on fire from the pain he felt.

"That's right, she'd be sad. Then again, she's not here anymore, so it doesn't matter what the dead think, does it?"

Takato remembered his grandmother's smiling face, and shed a tear.

He did wonder what she would be saying if she saw him like this.

She'd truly be pissed off.

His eyes went towards the woman who smirked down at him.

"I've had enough of people like you. Attacking me, constantly...I am not going down."

The woman cracked a smile, not seeing that his eyes were turning serious.

"Really? Well, once I kill you, I'll harvest those precious things from your corpse, they'll be useful."

The woman rose her foot again, and though he felt drained, he had enough strength for this.

The gun in his hand pushed itself against the woman's foot.

"Eh..."

"Bang."

He then pulled the trigger.

"Aaaaaaaaaaah! Y-You fucking-"

"Have this!"

Takato didn't give her time to recover, shooting up, and slammed his head and hers together. She was knocked for a daze, her eyes spinning around, only for Takato to grab the sword of the deceased man near him, and swung it for the girls neck. She didn't have time to raise a barrier, so she dodged out of the way, but the blade managed to cut into her face.

Blood ran from her foot, and her cheek from the shot, and slash of the sword. Her eyes went towards him angrily. Takato watched as magical circles lit up the sky, and aimed for the young boy.

"Even if you try and kill me, you Witch, I wont go down until I draw my last breath."

"Nice resolve, but it isn't going to be enough." The magical circles glowed, and Takato put his hands up as defense, knowing he wouldn't be able to run away. "By the way, wondering why your shit Master hasn't come?" Takato glared. "It's because I put a barrier up a while ago, so no one will even know of your death. And now you'll..." Her eyes shot to the side, as if she sensed something. "Shit, they've come already...?" Takato didn't get it, but she smirked. "You have some good friends, Takato-sama."

"W-What? The Gremory's..."

"Nah, not those bunch of weaklings, someone else. Well, you did capture that woman's heart, and she sent her allies to track me down to stop me from killing you, and I thought I had got past them as well...well, I suppose the more idiotic they are, the more determined they are, or something like that."

"Why are you doing this? I don't even know you-"

"You will soon, I promise you this. And then, you're dead. I'll be seeing you real soon Takato-sama."

"Not if I see your death first!"

Takato shot a bullet at her, but she blocked it with magic, and teleported away swiftly.


As she went, up above in the sky, a few figures floated by.

"Damn, seems like she got away, fucking Witch."

A woman with black hair growled out angrily.

"Don't become angry..." The smaller girl said, her eyes going downwards, and she clapped her hands together. "N-No way! That's Takato-sama! Eeep! He's so cool! B-But, he's injured as well..."

A young man in classes tapped the small girl on the head.

"No time for that now."

The young girl rubbed her head gently.

"B-But, that's Takato-sama, the one that-"

"Yes, and there's also other things we have to concern ourselves with, regarding that Witch." The man said, resting a hand on his sword. "She ended up getting so close to Miyamoto-sama that she almost killed him, our leader is not going to be pleased when hearing this."

The black haired woman waved her fingers.

"Don't worry, he's not dead, he'll be fine, and judging from what I can see, he got a few good hits out on her as well. Besides, I can only conceal us for so long before the Devils here get wind of us, we should be going~"

The young woman said, and the sword man agreed.

"Yes, we'll have to track down that Witch before Miyamoto-sama is targeted again. She seemed to have played with him this time, next time we wont be so lucky."

The smaller girl looked at the boy on the ground, seeing his injuries, and felt sorry for him.

She then went to fly down, but was stopped.

"We can't."

"But he's injured, we can't leave him..."

"He's not alone." The black haired woman said. "He's got his own cat looking out for him~"

The younger girl wasn't so sure, but they had something to do, so she apologized in her mind and left with her friends.


On the ground, Takato pushed his body as far away from the body as he could but stayed within vicinity.

His knees went to his chest, and his eyes scanned the body, as it laid there, lifeless.

He ran in his mind.

He could have shot him in the legs, or arms…

But, no Takato shot him in the head.

Did that make him a true Devil?

Did he become what he was worried about the whole time?

Was he becoming evil?

He certainly had many thoughts within his head, and he didn't have any solutions.

Even with the wounds on him, it seemed inconsequential to him now.

All that mattered was what happened just now.


More than ten minutes went by, and he stayed there, with the body.

However, Koneko finished her fight, and she came over towards him, having smelt for him.

"Senpai, I am happy that you are…" Koneko stopped when seeing his eyes, how unmoving and dull they were. "Senpai? What's wrong?"

Takato looked up to Koneko, seeing that she had a wound on her arm.

"Your arm, Koneko-chan. Did that Fallen Angel hurt you?"

"...Yes, but I'll be okay. But what happened?"

Takato looked to the side, and looked at the dead body.

"...I killed him."

Koneko looked to the side, and saw one dead body and one pile of ashes. Understanding what had happened, Takato saw Koneko sit down beside him, and placed her hand on his leg, seeing the burns on his leg along with some other wounds that looked to be different to cuts and bullets, and wondered how he got them. His eyes went towards her, and he saw that she held understanding within her eyes.

"...It's never easy, the first time you kill someone."

"...I should have stopped that Witch...she did this...and now I had to kill him..."

"...Because of the situation Senpai, you were probably thinking the best way to stop him...wait, Witch?"

Takato didn't believe it. He couldn't. He could see the dead body. Thinking back now, maybe he should have done something else. Perhaps, he should have turned the gun somewhere else, but he didn't. He didn't, and now he ended up killing someone, evil or not, he didn't feel good.

"Yeah, a Witch, she was such a bitch. Even then, Koneko-chan. If I kill a monster, am I any better than that monster? He and his buddy tried to off me, and I defended myself. I killed him, to defend myself. I managed to get the gun, and I aimed it for his head after he was being controlled. I threatened him, to not move, I fired warning shots even...but, he didn't pay any heed as he was...so I shot..him. I killed him."

Koneko rubbed Takato's leg, gaining his attention once more.

"Senpai did the right thing, defense is always better. The alternative would have been he killed you. You saved yourself."

Takato rubbed his face, trying to get his head around what happened.

"Maybe you're right Koneko-chan...but, I still feel…."

Koneko, understanding the pain that Takato was going through confessed a few things.

"...When I first killed a Stray Devil, I was feeling bad as well. Even though he was trying to kill Buchou...it made me think about a certain someone who also lost their mind to power...and I took them down. Afterwards, I felt disgusted with myself, because even if he was a stray, that was a life as well."

"Yeah...but, how did you get over it?"

"...I thought of them as evil." Takato needed clarity, so she gave him some. "I thought, I did the world a favour, because he was a bad person. I found out, he had raped and killed a bunch of human women. ...Because of that, I saved his next victim suffering. And, you have done the same thing Senpai. Your actions, saved the next victim of this person."

"...Thinking like that, it makes sense."

Koneko nodded her head strongly.

"It doesn't make things easier, not by a long shot. But, it also helps out with your thoughts and feelings. If you can separate the death and the person and then think like that, it helped me out, and Senpai?"

"Y-Yes?"

"...Senpai's a good person, don't ever think you aren't."

"Koneko-chan..."

Koneko laid her small hand on top of his own and showed a rare smile.

"Senpai is a very nice person, you sacrificed yourself for the perverted girl, and you said back there "I wont leave you!" to me. So, to me, you are a nice person Senpai, who has had some rotten luck as a Devil, and not a pervert which is a big plus for me, unlike that other perverted woman."

Takato chuckled lightly.

"...Yeah, very rotten. Two days in, and I've been nearly killed by a Fallen Angel, and killed an Exorcist to save myself, and some crazy Witch knows my name somehow, and is either crazy, or just plain evil, and is a sadist. What's on for tomorrow hey…."

Koneko pulled closer, and looked into his eyes and he did the same.

"Senpai is nice, don't forget that."

"Y-Yeah...I'll try, thanks Koneko-chan. You're right...I have to think like that, I saved the next victim of this person. But I need to be stronger, so I don't endanger anyone else around, including my new comrades. And I have to be able to stop that Witch, whoever she is."

"...Don't worry Senpai, we all will help you."

"Even you Koneko-chan?"

"Even me."

Koneko reiterated once more, and then Takato gave her a soft smile.

"Thank you, Koneko-chan. I'm tired of being on the defensive, I want to be the offensive one now."

"...Yes, you definitely will Senpai, I'll help you."

Something about how shitty his situation was, stirred something within Koneko, and his resolve...

She hadn't seen something like it before.

Others would have quit by now after all the crap he had been through.

But, not Takato, he didn't quit, and was determined to be stronger.

But, he wasn't power mad. She saw gentleness in his eyes, and she liked that.

And that stirred powerful emotions within Koneko.

Takato smiled down at her, and looked over her, seeing her arm once more, and couldn't stand to see Koneko in pain.

"Your arm is wounded, can I take a little look?"

"You're more injured than I am Senpai, don't worry about me."

"Even then, we're friends now, I'll help you."

Koneko blinked curiously.

"...Are you a doctor or something?"

"No, nothing like that. But I've had a fair few cuts and scraps before. Can I?" Koneko shrugged, so he proceeded. "From what I can tell, it doesn't appear to be all that deep. Damn girl, do you have steel skin?"

"...Because I am Super Girl, that's why I have such tough skin."

Takato gave a light hearted chuckle, finding it rather amusing.

"Either way, it isn't deep, it should be fine. Here, I'll wrap it for you Super Girl."

Koneko didn't like admitting it, but she found him amusing, and very kind as well. Even when he was going through this he still thought of her pain and was helping her.

Takato took some of his shirt, and ripped it. Koneko watched as the boy wrapped her arm with the shirt of his, and couldn't help but feel his fingers tenderly touching her arm. Somehow, it felt like a blast from the past when a certain someone did that as well.

When he finished, he petted the girls head.

"There, all better."

"...Senpai, you're a dork."

"Hehehe, I don't mind being a dork~"

Takato giggled out, and Koneko released a small giggle herself. She didn't even plan it, but something about his goofy face, and the way that he was okay with any insult she would give him, and the fact that he wasn't a massive pervert like Isane, that gave him points in her eyes.

"...Senpai is a kind dork though."

"Hehe, that's even better~"

Takato and Koneko released soft chuckles to one another one.

The pair sat there together, pondering many different things about their new lives. And what it meant to be a Devil, and what it meant to kill someone as well, as well as how to become stronger.

Truly, Takato wasn't having the easiest welcoming to his new life as a Devil.

Whatever the future held, it truly was going to be quite the weird feeling inside.

But, with this woman out there, that knew his name, and even talked like they were familiar, just what was happening...?

All he knew now was, he was going to have to train and become stronger, he was ready to embrace his life now. He couldn't shy away from it, because the enemies weren't going to shy away from killing him, this experience, especially with that Witch, told him that, and in a weird way, it helped him set his path to strength.


A few days later, in another part of Japan, a young blonde haired girl with green eyes, and an innocent face steps out into the setting sun. people walked by the girl who held her innocent expression and wondered why she was dressed in a nun's outfit.

And she looked so young.

She couldn't be older than 16-17 years old.

But she looked completely devoted to the Lord.

Looking at the sun before her that was slowly rising, her eyes were wide, and she couldn't help but smile a very large and innocent smile.

"I am ready to serve God now."

She beamed, and walked forward.

She was going to start her day soon.

But for now, she didn't have any idea of the fate she was going to encounter.

It would be a classic story of how a boy met a girl….


End chapter!

So, more on Takato's growing relationships with the Devils, and what not. He's going through the ride, huh. And now he's had to kill someone to defend himself. And he's only been a Devil for a few days. Also, a new player has arrived, a woman who's going to be important to the story, more on her later on. Though she's quite the sadist, who tortured Takato for a little bit, but his determination turned it around, and managed to wound her while some people came and gave a bit of foreshadowing, more on that later~ And thanks to that, he's going to become stronger, even Koneko was surprised by his determination and kindness.

Also, thanks to everyone who voted. It seemed quite close for a while there. However, in the end it came out to be the mix between Trick Vanish, Night Reflection and Incinerate Anthem, won by a few PM's in the end. Annihilation Maker came in at quite the close second literally only a few votes, so I thought about having that with the Angel Oc I'll do eventually, probably ironic, an Angel who can create demonic beasts. But either way, thanks for voting everyone! Takato's gonna have those Sacred Gear's! He's gonna have Incinerate Anthem later on, as I've got an arc planned out for how he's going to get it. Don't worry though, he's never gonna be one of the weaker members, and will use techniques with his intelligence, as he'll be that kind of fighter, though if he needs to bring the pain, then he will do as we'll see that soon.

So yeah, with nothing else to say, thanks for reading and until next time!

Takato; Ise (fem), Vali (fem), Rias, Akeno, Asia, Koneko, Yumi (fem), Gasper (fem), Xenovia, Irina, Rossweisse, Ravel, Kuroka, Kunou.
