Chapter 2: Boy Meets Devil

Blood.

It was everywhere.

On the furniture.

The walls.

The decorations.

Pictures of a little boy and a middle-aged man next to him.

Everywhere.

Even on the boy. On the ground, next to a body that was disemboweled and barely recognizable.

"What's your name little one?" the stranger asked.

The child looked up to see the man wearing black that asked him. He was also covered in blood, but he was not dead liked the other man laying there cut open. He couldn't see his face because something white was covering it.

"…" the little boy didn't say anything, his attention focused on the dead man lying next to him, nudging him as if to wake him up from his sleep.

"He's not going to wake up" the stranger simply said.

The little boy acted as if he didn't listen to him, still nudging the man to wake up.

"I'm sorry but your dad's gone" said the stranger, this time kneeling down to his level to face him.

The little boy kept nudging even harder, tears pouring down from his eyes and into the dead man's blood.

The stranger stood beside the little boy, who kept trying to wake his dad, till he finally fell asleep after finally giving up.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ahhhhh!" screamed Issei as he shot up from his bed.

He would soon regret that decision as he then winced from sudden pain.

"God...damit" grunted Issei as he held his stomach.

"I wouldn't move too much if I were you."

Issei listened and stopped any further movement in order to ease the pain from where it was coming from. After that was done, he then turned his attention to the person who spoke.

Sitting nearby his desk, was Ichigo, wearing only black sweatpants and a white tank top.

"Morning sensei" greeted Issei as he carefully got out of bed, revealing that his stomach was entirely bandaged.

Ichigo in returned just groaned.

"What do I keep telling you about calling me that?" said Ichigo.

"Calling you what?" asked Issei.

"Sensei! I don't like it when you call me that!" Ichigo exclaimed.

"But you're my sensei" countered Issei.

"Only when I'm training you!" responded Ichigo.

"But it sounds cool" replied Issei.

"Really?"

"Really"

Ichigo just the rubbed the bridge of his nose before continuing. "Listen, I saw you sweating and mumbling while your sleeping. Did you have a bad dream?"

"Yeah" sighed Issei.

"Was it the same one as last time?" asked Ichigo

Issei didn't reply but nodded instead.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Issei shook his in response.

"Alright then" understood Ichigo.

Both of them just stared at each other for what seemed to be hours at each other. The stare down between them ended when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in" said Ichigo as the door then opened.

Standing at the entrance was an extremely tall, muscular, dark-skinned man with brown wavy hair. He wore a green shirt and black pants with a pink apron wrapped around him.

"Sorry for interrupting but breakfast is ready for you guys downstairs." said the giant man.

"Thanks Chad, we'll be downstairs shortly." said Ichigo.

Chad gave a nod and headed downstairs to get everything ready and headed downstairs to get everything ready.

Afterwards, Ichigo then stood up and proceeded to leave the room.

"Get dressed for school and head down to eat." Ichigo said as he left and headed downstairs to help Chad to prepare.

"~Oh come on~" whined Issei. He really thought he wasn't going to school today and just have the day to rest.

"No excuses!" shouted Ichigo from downstairs.

Issei just grumbled and got off of his bed to get dress for school, unaware of something small and plushy lurking within his room.

Meanwhile

"I told you he wasn't going to let him stay Sado." Ūryu said, seated down at the living room's couch, reading a book.

"I thought he would be a bit more easygoing with him because of yesterday." Chad thought as he settled everything in the table for breakfast.

"Well you thought wrong Chad" said Ichigo as he came down the stairs and into the kitchen to help Chad.

"Don't you think it's a bit much sending him to school in his condition." Ūryu asked while still reading his book.

"I agree with Ūryu." Chad added.

Ichigo just rolled his eyes in response to their worries over Issei's well being.

"Issei is strong. The only reason he got injured was because he got careless and didn't notice the other Fallen Angel that stabbed him from behind." Ichigo explained.

"And if he was killed?" Ūryu asked, causing everyone to be silent and Ichigo to scowl at Ūryu disapprovingly.

"But he wasn't. That all that really matters." Ichigo replied.

Ūryu thought about his before giving him an approving nod.

"Alright, just don't let it happen again." Ūryu concluded.

"Don't worry, I won't." Ichigo replied.

"Guys if your done talking breakfast is ready" called out Chad from the kitchen.

Both Ichigo and Ūryu headed towards the kitchen and sat down at the table where all the food was laid out, pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, orange juice, etc., ready for them to eat.

"This all looks good Chad!" commented Ichigo as he got ready to eat.

"I agree with him. You've outdone yourself today Chad." Ūryu praised as he took a bite.

In return, Chad gave them a thumbs up, appreciating the thanks given to him.

"It wasn't much really. Kornelius helped with the cooking." said Chad.

"Where is that stuffed doll anyway" wondered Ichigo as he took a sip of his orange juice.

"~AHHHHH~" screamed Issei comically as he fell down the stairs.

"I'm guessing that he's with Issei at the moment." Ūryu stated as if it was obvious.

Issei landed painfully into the living room, struggling to get rid of a stuffed animal attached to his face.

"GET OFF ME!" screamed Issei as he finally got the plushie off his face and threw him against the wall hard.

"Ouch" mumbled Chad, feeling sorry the little guy that just got thrown at the wall.

Ignoring what just happened, Ichigo turned his attention to Issei. "So are you going to join the rest of us for breakfast or are you busy at the moment?" asked Ichigo.

"No, I'm coming." said Issei as he sat down at the table, dressed in his school uniform.

Ichigo then turned his attention to the other occupant in the room. "Kon are you going to join us or are you going to lay there?"

Immediately, the stuffed lion got back up and dashed towards the kitchen and landed on Ichigo's shoulder.

"Ichigo! Do you know what that little fire-breathing punk did to me!?" Kon exclaimed to Ichigo.

"He threw you at the wall." Ichigo stated nonchalantly while taking a bite of pancakes.

"EXACTLY! All that because I said good morning to him!" cried Kon, much to Ichigo's annoyance.

A tick mark grew on Issei's forehead as he listened to the stuffed lion's accusations. "He's full of crap! There was no greeting from that stupid teddy bear! He attacked me out of nowhere right when I was about to leave my room!" exclaimed Issei.

"How dare you call me a liar!" shouted the stuffed lion before jumping onto him and punching him. "And I'm a lion! Not some stupid teddy bear!"

"No one cares what you are!" countered Issei as he begun to fight the stuffed animal once again.

Both Chad and Ūryu just sweat dropped at the ridiculous scene happening before them while Ichigo just ate his meal in peace.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Later

"Can you remind me why you decided to walk me to school today?" asked Issei as he walked down the streets with his sensei at the side, who was wearing black jeans, shoes, and jacket with a plain, white shirt underneath his jacket.

"Since those Fallen Angels can come back at any moment and to attack you, that means that one of us will have to be with you at all time till the threat is over." explained Ichigo as he took out two strawberry-flavored lollipops from his jacket and handed one of them to Issei.

"Are you going to kill them?" asked Issei as he received the lollipop and begun to unwrap it.

Ichigo just sighed in response to his question. "I'm hoping it doesn't come to that." he answered as he put the lollipop in his mouth to enjoy.

"Okay, so you have Fallen Angels checked out of our list of problems, but what about the other one?" asked Issei.

"The other one?" said Ichigo confusingly.

"The Devil." replied Issei.

"Hmmm" hummed Ichigo as he rubbed his chin and thought about the Devil that came to 'help' Issei last night.

He knew of her true intentions of coming to 'help' him and he made sure to have Issei avoid her and all other Devils he mentioned. But he was a bit worried. If she was aware of him possessing a Sacred Gear, then that would mean that the other Devils that resided in this town would know of him as well. He wasn't worried so much about the other Devils that resided in this town at all but of two particular Devils that lived here.

Both who have older siblings that he didn't want to meet anytime in the near future.

"Sensei!"

"What" said Ichigo, bringing out of his train of thought.

"We're here" said Issei as pointed at the school in front of them which was a block away.

"Alright then" said Ichigo as he proceeded to take out a piece of paper with writing on it and handed it to Issei, much to his confusion.

"What's this?" Issei asked.

"A note saying you can't do any physical activities for a week, due to injuries." Ichigo answered as Issei received the note.

"Thanks, Motohama and Matsuda are going to be jealous." Issei said amusingly as he put away the note in his bag.

"Tell them I said hello alright" said Ichigo.

"Don't worry I will" replied Issei as he walked towards the entrance of the school.

"Remember what I told you back at the house!" called out Ichigo.

"I will!" Issei yelled back as he then entered the school.

Ichigo watched from a distance as two of Issei's friends noticed Issei and dashed towards him to catch up with him. This made Ichigo smile for some reason as he then proceeded to leave the area.

With Issei

"~No fair!~" screamed Matsuda and Motohama.

"How is it not fair?" questioned Issei with a deadpan expression.

"Because you get to sit around and do nothing while we have to run our asses off in fitness class." Motohama explained, tears running down his face.

"It's not fair at all" added Matsuda.

Issei just took a deep breath for a moment and then looked at both his friends.

"The only reason I'm not participating in any activities this entire week is because of medical reasons okay." explained Issei as he lifted up his shirt to showed them his stomach bandaged up.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!?" Both Matsuda and Motohama yelled in unison.

"I got mugged in the weekend and I was immediately taken to the hospital" lied Issei, obviously not telling his friends the truth.

"And how come your at school and not at home?" Motohama asked.

"Brother doesn't want me at home slacking off." Issei simply stated.

"Damn bro that's cold" said Matsuda.

"Yeah whatever." said Issei, rolling his eyes.

"Well I guess we better get to class or we'll be late." stated Motohama.

"Yeah you're right come on" said Issei as he begun to walk towards the school building with his two friends at his side.

Once they entered the school building, they noticed some of their classmates looking up with an awe expression from the girls and perverted looks from the guys. He turned to look at both of his friends who also had the same expression as the rest guys. Curious on what caused them to have those looks, he looked in the same direction as everyone else and at that moment he realized why they had those look.

Coming down the stairs was Rias Gremory, the most popular and prettiest girl in the entire school. Following by her side was Akeno Himejima, the second most popular girl at school. Both of them were just talking, completely ignorant of the attention they were getting.

"She's so beautiful!"

"I want to be like her!"

"Biggest boobs in the school!"

"They're so hot!"

"I think I just got a boner from looking at them!"

Issei just rolled his eyes from the many praises that the two most popular girls were getting. At one point, he would've been ogling at them until his watered from not blinking. But things change. He wasn't the same little boy he was seven years ago.

It wasn't until when the bell rung that everyone was back to their senses.

Well mostly the girls. The guys were still checking the two girls out.

Issei looked at both Matsuda and Motohama, who were practically daydreaming about the things they could do to Kuoh's "Big Sisters".

Deciding to leave them to their daydreaming, he went ahead to class and passed by the two girls to headed towards his class.

And like yesterday, he walked ahead to class, completely unaware that Rias, and Akeno, were watching him walk to class with interest.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Later that day

*THING*THING*THING*THING*THING

"Finally!" groaned Issei, happy that school finally ended for the day.

As he begun to collect his stuff and got ready to go home, he suddenly heard several girlish screams.

"OH MY GOD!"

"HE'S HERE! HE'S REALLY HERE!"

He looked towards the door entrance and saw the reason for girls screaming. Standing at the entrance was a handsome young man with short blonde hair, grey eyes, and a mole under his left eye.

Standing before them was the school's "Prince Charming", Yuuto Kiba.

All the girls loved him and all the guys hate him. It was that simple.

He didn't pay much attention to him as all girls got close to him and asked him if he could join them for karaoke.

"I'm sorry ladies but I can't right now. I have to pick up a friend and then head back to my club." Kiba replied apologetically.

"~Awwwww really~" whined one of the girls near him.

Issei just rolled his eyes at what was happening. Practically, anyone with a pretty face in this school is basically the most important person in this world. He was so into his thoughts that he didn't notice the person that stood right next to him.

"Ah there you are!"

He looked to his side, and then up from his desk, and was a bit surprised to Kuoh's "Prince Charming" standing before him.

"Ummm...are you talking to me?" asked Issei confusingly.

"Yes, you are Issei Hyoudou correct?" Kiba asked.

"Uhhh yeah" responded Issei unsurely.

"My name is Yuuto Kiba, I'm here on behalf of the Occult Research Club, and our President would love to have you come over for today's club meeting." explained Kiba with his charming smile never leaving his face.

Issei had a confused expression on his face. He never cared about joining any club in this school, especially the Occult Research Club, and he was sure enough that he wasn't interested enough to find out.

"Look, I think you might have the wrong person here because I'm not interested in joining your club alright" Issei rejected.

His smile never leaving his face, he proceeded to take out a piece of folded paper from his pocket and handed it over to Issei.

"I'm sure you'll reconsider if you just read what's inside." Kiba said like the gentleman he was.

Issei took the paper and unfolded it, proceeding to read the contents inside.

-It seems that we didn't have time to talk to each other because you were taken away from me. I would love for us to meet again properly and talk about your date. I'm very eager to get to know you as well as Yuuma has.

-Sincerely, Rias.

He finished reading the note and looked at Kiba, standing there like the gentleman he was. He was annoyed. Annoyed that the same girl who tried to "save" him now wanted talk to him about the events that transpired yesterday.

And sadly, there was only one thing he could do in his predicament.

"Alright let's go." Issei said without a care as he got up and followed Kiba to his club.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the Old School Building

"Never thought I would see this place again" thought Issei aloud as he reached the old school building he came across the other time.

"You've been here before?" Kiba asked curiously.

"Ummm yeah but under different circumstances." Issei said vaguely.

Kiba didn't ask anything further as both of them reached the entrance and entered the old school building.

As Issei followed Kiba from behind, he turned his attention to the interior decoration of this building. It was nice, he had to admit, and so would Ūryu if he saw it. It was very dark, despite the lights present and on, and decorations in this building seem kind of old-fashioned, gothic-style if he guessed.

"We're here" announced Kiba as both him and Issei entered the club room, with Rias sitting at the edge of her desk in the room, Akeno by her side, and one other occupant that was present in the room that was familiar to him.

"Is that the school mascot?" Issei wondered aloud as he stared at the petite, white-haired girl sitting down in the couch eating some kind of chocolate dessert.

"Oh yes that's Koneko Toujou. She's a first year student and a valued member of the Occult Research Club" Rias explained about the girl sitting in the couch.

"Hey" said Issei as he waved at Koneko.

Koneko just gave him side glance and went right back to eating her chocolate dessert.

"I would like to thank you for coming here today." Rias said elegantly, getting Issei attention.

"Yeah I'm happy that I'm here" replied Issei with heavy sarcasm.

"I'm glad to here that" Rias responded, not caring for the sarcasm giving to her.

"Before we begin our meeting, let me introduce myself" Rias said before continuing "My name is Rias Gremory, President of the Occult Research Club." concluded Rias as she gestured Akeno to do the same as her.

"Hello my name is Akeno Himejima, Vice President of the Occult Research Club and best friend of Rias." Akeno introduced herself.

Rias thanked Akeno for introducing herself before turning her attention to Issei.

"If you can be so kind to introduce yourself" Rias asked Issei.

Sighing in annoyance, Issei proceeded to listen to her for the time being.

"Hello my name is Issei Hyoudou. Nice to meet you." Issei introduced himself to the members of Occult Research Club.

"Thank you for coming to our club meeting. It's a pleasure to have you." Akeno thanked warmingly.

"Now that everyone has introduced themselves, we can begin our meeting" said Rias as she made her way behind her desk to sit down.

"Let's start with getting to know our newest member of our club" Rias suggested, much to Issei's displeasure.

"Hang on a minute, I never said I was joining your club!" Issei said immediately.

"Really, why is that?" Rias questioned with a curious look on her face.

"I only came here because you wanted answers." Issei explained, much to Rias's amusement.

"I don't think I'm the one in need of answers." Rias answered confidently, much to Issei's annoyance.

"So you believe I need answers?" Issei asked.

"Possibly" Rias replied cryptically.

"Like..."

"The reason why those Fallen Angels came after you?"

In response Issei narrowed his eyes, remembering the fight he had with his "girlfriend" and the backstabbing from the other guy.

"Why?" asked Issei.

Rias leaned forward and rested her elbow on the desk and her chin on her hand.

"The reason those Fallen Angel came after you was because of your Sacred Gear." Rias answered as she continued to observe Issei intently, who remained silent.

"Judging by how well you manage to fight on par with a Fallen Angel, I'm going to assume you've had experience in dealing with their kind." Rias continued.

"I've also had experience in dealing with your kind." Issei added.

"My kind?" Rias questioned, her eyes narrowing just a bit and the other members of the club to tense up a bit.

"Devils…you know the ones that live in the Underworld…archenemy of both Fallen Angels and Angels." Issei listed off the things he knew out of the top of his head.

Then there was sudden flapping heard in the room. He looked straight at Rias, who was standing up, and the bat-shaped wings that appeared behind her. Several flapping sounds followed up and as he looked around and saw the rest of the club members with bat-like wings.

They were all Devils.

Every single last one of them.

"Can I ask you to show me your Sacred Gear for us please?" Rias asked politely.

Issei looked at the Devils in front of him carefully, seeing if any of them had any malice intent in their eyes.

'Should I show them Ddraig?' thought Issei.

[They are no threat to us. Show them if you must.] replied Ddraig within his head.

And with that, he lifted up his left arm and said only two words.

"Boosted Gear."

Everyone that was in the room was blinded by a green light for an instant. After the green light vanished, everyone then stared at Issei, now wielding his Boosted Gear.

'Amazing.' thought Rias as she stared at him, wielding such power in front of her.

"Mhmm, such an amazing feel of power." Akeno said seductively.

'This is getting awkward.' Issei thought as he felt uncomfortable from the look he was getting from Rias's best friend.

"I have to agree with my friend, this is an impressive display of power. The fact that you posses a Longinus Sacred Gear, you are force to be reckoned with." Rias praised.

"Thank you" Issei said unsurely as reverted his left arm back to normal.

"But despite the power you posses, your only human." said Rias "But we can help you."

"You? Help me?" questioned Issei with a quizzical look.

Rias in turn just nodded before explaining herself how she can help.

"As you can already tell, we're no normal club." Rias explained "the Occult Research Club's true purpose is to protect this town from those that threaten its citizens from Fallen Angels and others who threaten the lives of this small town."

She looked to see if Issei was paying attention, to which he was, before continuing on with her explanation.

"We keep a close eye on everyone in this town" said Rias as she pulled out a picture and threw at the table in front of her.

".… including you."

Issei took the picture that was right in front of him and looked at it. He was surprised to see him and Yuuma going on their "date" from yesterday.

"She was tasked to eliminate you because of the Sacred Gear you posses. Unfortunately for her, she must've assumed that your Sacred Gear was dormant because she was surprised that you were able to activate your Sacred Gear, let alone fight back." she explained.

"But since your still here, she will most likely come back and try to take your life again until she succeeds, which now means your in danger." added Akeno.

"And that's where we come in." Rias added as all attention was now focused on her.

"Issei, we want you to become a Devil." Rias stated as she pulled out a glowing red chess piece, which was a pawn, from her jacket and held it for Issei to see.

"…"

Rias frowned just a bit from his lack of his response, but nonetheless, she decided to explain herself on her attempt to help him.

"By taking this chess piece known as an Evil Piece, you will turn into a Devil, and by doing so we can offer you protection from Fallen Angels and others who will come after your Sacred Gear. You'll be under my care and I can promise you that you won't be in safer hands than with mine." Rias said as she finished her explanation.

"So Issei, I ask you, would you join us, the Occult Research Club?" Rias offered as she held out the glowing red piece for Issei to take.

Issei stared at the chess piece that was in Rias's hand as if it was begging to be taken by him.

Then, the oddest thing happens.

Or better yet, shocking.

Issei just turns around and walks out the room without turning back or saying a word.

Everyone was just shocked at what he just did, especially Rias.

For someone to just leave her like that in the middle of something important was shocking, especially coming from a guy.

Every guy she has ever come across or seen her has been putty in her hands, and to meet someone who was immune to her charms was strange.

She didn't like that at all.

"Uh President?"

Rias turned to her side to look at Akeno, who had a shocked expression as her.

"Did he just leave?" Kiba asked, just as surprised as the rest.

Koneko just stood their seated in the couch with a surprised expression as the rest.

Without saying anything, Rias left quickly to go after the boy that just left.

Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko were just left alone in the club room with no idea of what to do.

Deciding to break the silence, Akeno spoke up.

"I'll go check on her." Akeno offered as she left to go follow her best friend.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

With Issei

[That was interesting.] Ddraig said with an amused tone in his head.

'Oh yeah, it was wonderful to hear the princess offer me help.' Issei responded sarcastically as he walked backed to the front of the school.

[I found her offer to be 'cute'.] Ddraig said.

'And annoying.' Issei added.

Ddraig just responded with a dry chuckle, causing Issei to chuckle as well.

After a few more minutes of walking, he finally reached the front of the school and saw that his sensei, Ichigo, was waiting for him.

"What took you so long?" Ichigo asked.

Issei just grunted at his question. He knew exactly the answer to his own question but asked him anyway just to make sure.

"They came to me and offered me a place in their club." Issei answered.

"...and?"

"I just left. Wasn't interested." Issei responded.

Ichigo just stared at him, seeing if he was telling the truth or not.

"Alright, I believe you." Ichigo concluded as both he and Issei began to make their way home.

"Hey wait!"

Both Issei and Ichigo turned around and saw the who called them, much to Issei's dismay.

Rias Gremory finally caught up to person that she wanted to join her club. As she finally caught up to him, she noticed that he wasn't alone.

Next to him was a tall, lean-built young man with brown eyes, dressed in black jeans, shoes, and jacket, wearing a, and jacket, with a white shirt underneath. The oddest thing she found about him was his spiky, orange hair.

Ignoring him, she turned her attention to Issei.

"You left before giving me an answer." Rias said as Akeno finally caught up to her.

"I thought me leaving your club was the answer." Issei responded.

"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider my offer?" said Rias.

"No, I'm pretty sure." Issei said before turning his attention to Ichigo "Can we go now? It's getting late and I'm hungry."

Ichigo just nodded in response as both of them turned their backs on the two ladies present as they headed home.

"Wait hold on." Rias said as she made her way to grab him, only for her hand to be grabbed by someone else.

She looked up to see it was Ichigo that grabbed her hand that tried to Issei from leaving her sight.

The sight of this cause Akeno to narrow her eyes at him and was prepared to conjure a spell at her President's command while Issei was smirking, enjoying the scene that was happening before him.

Ichigo looked at her with narrowed eyes, the same with Rias who was giving him the same look.

"I think my little brother already made himself clear about not wanting to join your little devil club." Ichigo strictly stated, surprising both Rias and Akeno.

'He can't possibly know, can he?' Akeno thought with a worried expression on her face.

"I can assure that my club has no ill intentions prepared for him." Rias assured, thinking that the remark made on her club was just a mere coincidence.

Ichigo just sighed in response.

"I don't think I made myself clear when we last saw each other but I'll say it again..." said Ichigo, much to both Rias and Akeno's confusion.

"When we last saw each other?" Rias said confusingly.

"Oh right! When we last saw each other I was wearing a mask like this?" said Ichigo as he pulled out the white mask he wore yesterday from his jacket, shocking Rias but confusing Akeno.

"That was you!" Rias exclaimed, further confusing Akeno of what was going on.

"Uhm Rias, do you know this person?" Akeno asked.

Before Rias had the chance to answer, Ichigo decided to answer for her instead.

"We don't know each other. Never have. Never will." answered Ichigo before motioning Issei to leave ahead.

As Issei left, Ichigo followed right behind but stopped for a moment.

"I can't guarantee your livelihood if you come near Issei or any of us again." Ichigo warned as he left to go catch up with his little brother.

Both Rias and Akeno just stood there, processing what had just happened.

It was until Rias motioned Akeno to head back to the club building. Akeno was hesitant at first but Rias firmly tells her to head back, to which Akeno does in the end.

All alone now, Rias is left thinking with everything that just happened. With all the thoughts going through her head, only one thing kept coming up in her thoughts.

"Who was he?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Author's Note: So that's Chapter 2 everyone! Sorry it took so long in making this chapter but I hope this chapter made up for it. Before I go, I'm going to address some things that have been probably on your mind from last chapter and/or in this chapter.

-Issei Hyoudou: For those that might be wondering if he's going to be a Devil or not, the answer so far is going to be no. I prefer him to be a human. I think it's better in my opinion.

-Why Kon?: There might be some of you who might have a problem with him being here but he's actually going to matter in the story. And also because I think he should replace Issei as him being the "extreme pervert" because I don't want Issei to be the extreme pervert in the story.

-Bleach characters(?): I just want to remind you guys and gals that if you want a certain Bleach character to appear in the story, just leave a comment/review or you can PM me if you like. Some of the Bleach characters, like Kisuke Urahara appearing in this story for those wondering, are already decided upon so you may or may not need to request a character, your choice.

-What is Ichigo?: I'm positive that this has been on everyone's mind the entire time since you read the last chapter. What is Ichigo going to be? Is he human, a yokai, an angel, devil, nephilim, fallen angel, what is he? Well the answer is simple really.

I haven't really decided. I'm between two options and both of them are extremely tempting. One option involves that he's part of supernatural species that are known, like I mentioned. The other involves him being none of them, which might confuse most of you on what I mean by "none". I won't go into detail on what I meant by the second one but know that which ever one I pick, your going to still love the story.

-The harem(s): As far as I'm concern, only Ichigo and Issei are going to have harems. I won't reveal who's going to be in who's harem, especially Rias and Akeno.

I think addressed all the things that needed to be addressed. If you have any questions regarding the story, leave a comment/review or you can PM if you like. I'll see you guys later in the next update for this story or the other one I have.

Before I go, I want to say Happy (late)Birthday to Nelliel Tu Odelschwank and Tekking101! In my opinion, Tekking101 has the best Bleach reviews ever and I'm also a huge fan of Nelliel, so I felt the need to say it.
