When Desmond woke up he could feel something soft under his head along with the smell of strawberries. He could also feel something that was caressing his hair.
"Ara, ara his hair is so soft" he heard a voice say
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling.
"Ara Desmond-kun you're awake"
Desmond blinked his eyes a couple of times because his vision was still blurry.
When his vision started to become clear Akeno's face came to view.
"Desmond-kun are you okay?" she asked with a concerned look on her face
"Uh I guess so… How long was I out?" he asked
"About twenty minutes or so" she answered
"Oh is that so…" he muttered and closed his eyes again
"Umm… Desmond-kun how long are you going to stay like this?" Akeno asked him
He opened his eyes again wondering what she meant. Then he realized what she meant.
His head was resting on Akeno's lap. He immediately blushed and he quickly went to a sitting position.
"Ahh! Sorry Himejima-senpai." He apologized while still blushing
"Ara, it's okay Desmond. It was quite enjoyable seeing you sleep. You really looked cute" she said while putting her right hand on her cheek.
Desmond's blush darkened. He may be an assassin but he was still a bit clueless when it comes to dealing with girls.
Then he noticed both of them were alone in the clubroom
"Himejima-senpai where are the others?" Desmond asked
"Ara, Koneko-chan and Kiba-kun went home already and Buchou went to Issei-kun's house to make sure that he won't get into another trouble." She answered
"Oh that's good"
"So Desmond-kun what happened to you? Why did you suddenly faint?" she asked
Desmond brought his hand up to his face and he examined it. His skin seemed paler than normal.
"I think it's because I haven't drank blood in three weeks." He answered while bringing his hand down
He put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a vial with a fang shaped cap attached to a small chain. The vial also had red liquid inside.
"What's that Desmond-kun?" Akeno asked
"Oh this is a special vial that is designed specifically for me. The red liquid is blood and the vial keeps the blood fresh for me. And the vial doesn't break no matter how many times I drop it" he explained
He removed the cap of the vial.
The scent of the blood immediately activated his vampire side. His eyes turned blood red and his fangs grew a bit longer.
He put the vial near his lips and drank it eagerly as if it were fresh spring water.
Akeno just watched quietly. She already knows how a vampire feeds themselves so this wasn't something new to her.
When Desmond was finished he put the cap of the vial back to its place. He didn't notice but some blood escaped his lips and was trickling down his jaw.
"Desmond-kun you have a little something on your face" Akeno informed him
"Huh? Where?" he asked
"Here let me get it for you" Akeno said as she pulled out her handkerchief out of her pocket.
She scooted closer to Desmond and started to wipe the blood that was on Desmond's face.
It was dangerous for Akeno to be this close to Desmond while his fangs where out because even though that he just drank blood he could still suck her blood if she is not careful.
Desmond won't admit this to her but Desmond likes the smell of Akeno's blood. Akeno's blood really smelled sweet and delicious for Desmond but luckily he controlled himself.
"Desmond-kun next time you drink blood please be careful not to let any drop on you uniform. I just fixed your uniform earlier with magic and it would be a shame if it got stained… There done" she said
"Uumm… Thank you Himejima-senpai and I'll remember to be careful in drinking blood" he said while blushing lightly
"So Desmond-kun how do you hide your vampire side so well? I almost didn't notice that you were a vampire the first time I met you" she asked
Desmond returned his fangs to its normal size and closed his eyes for a bit before opening it again. When he opened his eyes it was back to its normal blue color.
"I keep a relic with me all the time. The relic that I bring with me has the power to hide my vampire side. Only a few people finds out that I'm a vampire" he answered
"How about you? How did you find out that was a vampire?" he asked
"I already met someone like you before and you give off an aura similar to his" Akeno answered
"Ohhh is that so… Anyway it's getting late and I still need to move my things to my new apartment so I best be going" he said while standing up
"Oh okay. Have a pleasant night Desmond-kun" Akeno said "See you tomorrow
"Yeah. Have a pleasant night too Himejima-senpai" Desmond says while giving her one last smile before leaving the clubroom.
+ + + + + BREAK + + + + +
"Sigh finally I'm done" Desmond exclaimed to himself
He just finished placing his stuff in his new apartment which was quite big for a single person to live on.
There were 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom with a bathtub and shower, 1 kitchen complete with cooking utensils, and a living room with a large flat screen TV with home theatre sound system, gaming consoles, two black couches and a brown coffee table.
Desmond went to the bathroom first to shower before sleeping.
+ + + + + BREAK+ + + + +
RING! RING! RING!
CLICK
"Ugh… Maybe I should consider being a devil so I won't have to deal with this sun anymore" Desmond, who was still half awake, muttered to himself.
He dragged himself out of his bed and went to the bathroom that was inside his room.
After taking a bath he wore his uniform and went out of his room.
When he went out of his room, he immediately smelled food being cooked which was weird because it was only him inside the apartment.
He slowly approached the kitchen and peaked inside.
He was surprised at what he saw. Inside was Himejima Akeno wearing a cute pink apron over her uniform, and she was cooking breakfast.
She noticed Desmond peaking. She smiled at him "Ara, Desmond-kun good morning. Did you sleep well?"
"Uh… Yeah I did but most importantly what are you doing here Himejima-senpai?" Desmond asked
"Oh, I followed you after you left the clubroom because I was worried that you might pass out again in the middle of the road. I followed you all the way here then I waited for you to fall asleep before entering your apartment" she answered as if it were nothing
Desmond was shocked. How could he not have detected Akeno… He should've detected something when she entered the apartment. No one in the House of Hunter can sneak up behind him, even his step-father. But Akeno was able to sneak in his apartment without getting detected?! Did he underestimate her prowess as a devil?
"Desmond-kun is something wrong" Akeno asked
'Everything is wrong' He thought but held back on saying that to her
"No-nothing is wrong… I'm just surprised that I wasn't able to detect you when you started following me" he answered
"Ara then I guess my stealth is better than your detecting skills Ufufu… Oh take a seat I'm almost done cooking breakfast"
Desmond took a seat and waited for her to finish up cooking breakfast
+ + + + +BREAK+ + + + +
""ITADAKIMASU!""
Akeno just finished cooking and was now sitting across Desmond
"It's delicious" Desmond muttered and started eating a bit faster with a contented smile on his face.
"Ara, thank you but Desmond-kun please eat a bit slower there's still plenty and no one is going to take the food away from you" Akeno said worried that Desmond might choke but nevertheless she was happy that Desmond likes her cooking.
She never thought that Desmond can have a cute side despite him being a bit cold most of the time.
+ + + + +BREAK+ + + + +
After eating breakfast they were now walking towards school.
This time Desmond was wearing a black and blue cap, with a saber tooth tiger head design, to keep the sunlight out of his eyes.
"Ano, Himejima-senpai are you going to cling to my arm until we arrive at school?" Desmond asked Akeno who was happily walking beside him while clinging to Desmond's right arm.
Akeno just hummed in response
Desmond just sighed and let Akeno do as she pleases… He knows all too well that one's a girl decided to do something they will do it no matter how much you plead to them and Desmond learned that the hard way.
+ + + + +BREAK+ + + + +
As soon as Desmond and Akeno arrived in the school ground the first thing they heard was
"Impossible!"
"Why is the world so cruel?!"
"Nooo Akeno-onee-sama!"
"He probably blackmailed her into doing that… He probably does a lot of ecchi things to her:"
"Hey how dare you say that to Desmond-sama you perverted monkey!"
"Awww… I was thinking of having Desmond-kun as my boyfriend"
"But they really look good together"
"Man the people here get weird ideas… I'm not even dating her and they say those kinds of things" Desmond muttered.
"Don't mind them Desmond-kun. Rumors will always be rumors" Akeno said while still having a smile on her face
"I know" Desmond says.
They continued walking in silence until they reached the stairs on the main school building.
"I'll see you later Desmond-kun… Buchou wants you to come to the clubroom later. She said that she was going to explain to Issei what happened yesterday and she wants you to be there" Akeno informed Desmond
"Is that so… Then I'll go to the clubroom later" Desmond said "Bye Himejima-senpai"
"See you later Desmond-kun"
Akeno gave Desmond one last smile before heading back to her classroom.
When Akeno was out of sight Desmond turned towards the way his classroom was
"Now to figure out how to avoid my classmates… Man this is going to be another exhausting day for me" Desmond said to himself while walking towards his classroom.
And that was chapter 5 of Fangs of a Devil
Tell me what you think about it but no Fire magic okay…
And I was thinking of adding Desmond to Rias' peerage but I'm still thinking about it.
If you think that Desmond should join Rias' peerage tell me and give two elements that Desmond will train on once he becomes a devil.
If you have any suggestions for the story PM me and leave a review so if you have any trouble understanding the story I will try my best to make the story understandable.
That's all for now
Peace out…
