-DRAGON AND FAMILIAR-
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
*GAP*
"What could have happened?" Sona asked worriedly as she paced around the student council room, her peerage could do and say nothing to alleviate that worry.
"Sona, are you still saying that even after Gremory-san said that they had already solved the problem?" Her vice president noted.
"I wouldn't if that was the case. But I can tell she's lying." The Student Council President said with certainty. "Not only is her poker face familiar to me. But we've been together long enough to know if one is lying to the other. But at the same time I can understand why she's hiding whatever could have happened to me. However, not reporting to her brother is a telltale sign of something wrong and/or big."
"I see. But Gremory-san may have her reasons." Her vice president noted and Sona nodded at this.
"True. But just then we get this elegant woman enrolling two students, one Kotiya, Sanae and one Reisen Udongein Inaba... who I must admit sounds very familiar." She shook her head. "In fact the woman, Yasaka, Kanako is also familiar to me."
*note: Rias had also infected Sona with her love of Touhou. A fact that slipped out of Rias' worried mind.*
"Isn't it coincidence?" Her vice president guessed but Sona disagreed.
"Tsubaki, just a day ago we saw a large powerful beam pierce through the heavens. Then Rias' group went ahead and investigated. She goes back both relieved, tense and panicked. Worse since the last one she showed when I appeared to ask what happened. Then after that we get two transfer students. Whatever happened, Rias is a part of it." Sona concurred making the Student Council members nod at realization.
"So what is our plan Kaichou?" Tsubaki asked her president.
"For now. We watch, and prepare."
*GAP*
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
I'm not very fond of school honestly. Not because I have bad grades or anything... Then again with the dime a dozen gorgeous females in my school, it's worth it. And today... today adds two more of them!
"Hello! I'm Kotiya, Sanae! Nice to meet you!" "I'm... Reisen Udongein Inaba... It's nice to be here I guess."
Hmmm... Sanae's introduction is very enthusiastic. Perhaps she's just happy that she's finally back at school again? Or maybe even back to civilization? Not that Gensokyo is uncivilized, I meant the modern world. On the other hand Reisen is kinda... well she's not very enthusiastic about this. Also I just noticed that nobody recognizes them, not even by name.
Touhou might not be for everyone but it's very popular. Spanning lots of fan works starting from fan doujins, games, toys and even animes... the last one is never official though. And oh music, probably the most prolific thing for the series. But I'm getting off topic.
The fact is, like I said no one in class reacted to their names and their looks. And believe me their pics are everywhere in the internet so a lot of people knows what they look like. No even a look, batting an eye, scratching heads... nothing... Wait... Did Reisen...?
"I didn't do anything." She said as she passed me onto her seat which is coincidentally beside me... wait Sanae is at my front too! Ummm... I don't remember those seats vacant...
"Hihi!" Sanae giggled. "Well I know it was unfortunate. But I have to thank you Issei! I finally got back to school!"
Ah! I remember. At one point during a time when I was with Sanae, she told me that one of her regrets was being unable to finish school. But thanks to my circumstances, she now has the power to erase that regret.
"Good for you Kotiya-san." Reisen said wearily.
"What's wrong Reisen?" I asked, and at that point I caught her heaving a great yawn.
"Nothing it's just..." She patted her head. Ah... She must be distracted since her normal bunny ears are not there. In fact, seeing her like that is kinda weird.
Ummm... Now that I'm paying attention it seems I've attracted unwarranted attention to myself.
"Damn it! When did Hyoudou hook up with those babes!" "How is he able to talk to those cuties!" "Hyoudou is casually talking to the two transferees, how odd!"
This is going to bite my ass I swear. In fact I feel as it's the meteor investigation all over again! I mean we get to a lead, fight, another lead, fight... and so on and so forth. In fact I get attacked, I go get info from the Scarlet Devil Mansion, then I get attacked again... and then there was last night's... I kami! I'm gonna get attacked again!
"Something wrong Issei?" The ever sexy moon rabbit asked me and... Now that I say that looking at the two of them in their Kuoh uniforms... What a treat!
"Issei?" Sanae repeated Reisen's call for me, bringing me out of my happy place.
"Ah... I'm just worried this incident of mine would blow up like the meteor incident." I admitted, and both nodded, worry etched in their faces. All three of us then sighed.
"Ehem!" The voice of the teacher brought us out of our stupor. "You three can catch up later, we now have class." Only my two friends had the decency to blush... me... this is normal I guess.
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
After the first class, Sanae and Reisen got the usual transfer student treatment which meant lost and lots of questions directed at them. Sanae answered all of those with polite cheerfulness supplying answers to question she can answer and stomping down on those that were either private or she can't truly answer.
Reisen answered hers as she was just dealing with one of her usual costumers. Something that gave some of the class odd vibes, while others were impressed with her business like behavior and actually easily guessed that she worked as a sales clerk...
Also some of the guys including my two... ummm forgotten pervert friends are surrounding me demanding an explanation.
Uhhh... What should I do in this situation?
"Excuse me." It's Sanae. "Please leave my friend alone." She said with a chilling smile. Whoa... Wow that's some hostility there Sanae... Maybe the Sadist thing is true in a way.
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
In any case after that incident everything went all smoothly. Though some of the guys are rather scared of Sanae now. The girls on the other hand looks like they found a new hero. Oh boy.
Well, now that schools over I get to hang out with Sanae and Reisen!
"Come on Issei! It's been a while since I been to a mall!" Looks like Sanae is happy. Reisen is kinda indifferent about the whole thing.
"Ah!" Oh. It's Koneko. Wait I think don't she was expecting us.
"What's wrong Koneko?" Oh! It's Gremory-sempai. Ummm... This is weird meeting up in this school hallway. "Ah! Hyoudou-kun and-" She stopped, wait... I know I'm not that smart... but was that recognition from her eyes.
"Sanae." "Reisen." My two companions introduced themselves. Rather gruff introduction girls.
"This is awkward." Well Gremory-sempai, it can't be anything else. "This a good opportunity still. I know I'm kinda intruding but can I at least take a minute of your time?" All three of us there looked at each other, or more like Sanae and Reisen looked at me for confirmation and I could nothing but shrug.
Sorry girls I'm not the leader type.
"Alright. We'll hear you out." Thank you Sanae for taking charge.
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
"Thank you for indulging me, and sorry bothering you but..." Gremory-sempai looked away. We were currently at the Occult Research Clubroom and was offered tea by our host who seemed to be hesitating. Finally she sighed and slumped. "Sorry... But I messed up."
"You... messed up?" Sanae asked slowly, confused at what my- errr... our red headed sempai said.
"Well... ummm.. We're you informed of what was talked about in that meeting." She addressed Sanae and
Reisen who nodded. "Well I was worried about what to report considering... ah... er..."
Gremory-sempai was tongue-tied... no she was more than tongue-tied. In fact she absoultely did not know what to say. I realized in her hesitation why this was so.
"Gremory-sempai... are you a-" She nodded before I finished.
"Yeah. I'm a fan." Those words cleared everything up for Sanae and Reisen who actually looked at me and giggled. Considering I'm the first fan they met... well... In any case, I can see where this was going. In fact the Wind Priestess beat me to the punch.
"Ah! It's hard to report something nearly impossible... no considering how we're viewed here telling about what you encountered would be incredulous." Sanae stated with all sympathy. It must because of... well some stories say that Sanae met her patron/guardian goddesses while she was still in school and that it was hard for other people to understand her because she spouted some incredible nonsense...
"Yeah." Gremory-sempai admitted as she rubbed her arms. "I became a fan of the series ever since the first windows game where a character that would be later depicted as someone bearing the similarities... no in fact she was all too identical to my favorite cousin appeared." She shook her head. "I loved her like a sister you know. And then she disappears one day without explanation. It broke my heart. So that little sprite that reminded me of her was a big thing."
Ah... Well I did hear that she wanted her cousin but... Patchouli needed Koakuma. In fact I don't think she could go without her.
"In any case my hesitation along with the stress because indecision caused me not to tell my brother who I have told you is the current Satan of what truly transpired, that along with the growing suspicion Sona had with what happened. Things would become complicated... and real soon too." She said with a sigh.
"Wait... Sona... as in Sona the School Council President?" I asked. Don't tell me she's part of this too...
"Yes Hyoudou-kun. Like me she is also a devil and has a peerage too." Wait...
"The Student Council is..." The redhead nodded. Oh boy... when she said back at the shrine that this is their territory they weren't kidding!
"So they are a lot more devils than we thought there would be." The moon rabbit was clutching her head. I think she's having a migraine from all of this.
"Moreover the other group is suspicious too... Not to mention they're the Student Council!" Sanae was rather worried. For good reason. In fact I am too! In fact my prediction of getting attack may come true!
And to think about it's going to be three days in a row! I swear it's the meteor investigation all over again!
"Do not worry. Despite connecting the dots considering how smart she is, I doubt Sona would actively move against you." Oh good. "But you guys will be under intense scrutiny. Especially when she's a fan too." Wait the president is also a fan?! Then we're doomed! "In fact I'm quite surprised nobody has recognized the too of you. Well... I think nobody would recognize Reisen without her signature ears..." Sanae patted the back of the suddenly depressed Reisen. Ummm... maybe I shouldn't told her about what people think of her ears...
"In any case nobody would actively recognize us because of the blessing of Kanako and Suwako-sama. Not to mention we have some stuff Nitori and Eirin-sensei gave us." Sanae informed sempai who nodded at relief at the precautions they had. In fact that answers why nobody bats an eye at their names nor with their appearance. "The only reason you and Hyoudou-kun recognize us is because the blessing does not affect those we had met previously before going here."
Ah, so that's why. Well it's nice to know. Now I don't need to fret about the whole thing.
"That's good. Still... I need to tell you some things." Now that all those questions were answered Gremory-sempai told us the incoming problems. One of those were several more devils that would come to investigate the beam since she and her... ummm... peerage if I remembered correctly, failed to truly report what happened. Secondly the fallen angels would be much more active and in the know of what truly happened and it was possible that they would either call for reinforcements or increase their ferocity in trying to kill me. Last it was confirmed that the Heavenly Faction would send some people as well, making for a tense stare down of the three Biblical Factions in one place. Which means that it was possible for a small war to erupt and the three way war between them would resume which would be...
All three of us outsiders gulped. This was very bad... Very very bad!
*CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!*
