Hello and welcome back to another chapter. Before we begin I would like to give my thanks to all the dedicated readers for their continued support. Not much else to say other than I should mention that if I feel unsatisfied with a characters canon personality, (which is almost never), I will modify it to my liking. That said, this is my story and I can do what I want. Once more I do not own anything related to Fairy Tail or Highschool DxD. Without much else to say right now, Let's get started.

Natsu opened his eyes to find himself face to face with that girl who wore the dark gray kimono. Sitting up, he noticed that the two were sitting on a hill overlooking a vast forest watching the sunrise. Suddenly the girl spoke up. "Hey Natsu, can I ask you something?" he heard himself answer. "Sure." Giving him a small smile, Natsu felt himself blush hard. "When we get older, will you promise to marry me?" feeling himself blush even harder as he stuttered out his answer. "W-w-what?!" giggling at the pinkette's behavior, the girl decided to spare him of his misery. "Just promise me you won't forget me and we'll call it even."

As she got up to leave, Natsu quickly got up and called out to her. "Yes. What is it?" she asked. "W-Well since this is the last time we'll see each other for a while I got a gift for you." He replied. Reaching into his pocket, he took out a simple, orange ribbon. "What's this for?" she asked. "It's something to remember me by." Taking the ribbon he went and tied it into a bow in the back of her hair. "Thanks I promise that I'll cherish it for the rest of my life." Giving him a small grin as thanks, Natsu couldn't help but blush some more, letting the girl get in a few more giggles at how cute he looked. "So I suppose this is where we part ways?" she asked. "Yeah. See ya later." He replied. With that Natsu started to run down the hill to where Tannin was waiting. Upon reaching the bottom, Natsu turned around to look up at the top of the hill, only to watch in horror as a large explosion decimate the hill. Stunned in sheer shock, Natsu could only stand there as the dirt and rocks were thrown about in every direction.

Underworld Present day

At the same time, Natsu woke up with a fright. Sweat dripping down from his forehead, Natsu could only remember the terrible event that happened that day. Getting himself up and out of bed Natsu went through his daily morning routine, though with much less enthusiasm. Around an hour later, we rejoin Natsu in the dining room eating a quick breakfast.

Walking into the room, Sirzechs made his presence known to the pinkette. "Hey, Natsu. One more thing before you go, as you recall Rias and her peerage have already migrated to the human world." Seeing Natsu's acknowledgment, he continued. "Since you are leaving later today, and have yet to start your own peerage, Grayfia will be going with you for your protection. Once you have your 1st peerage member, Grayfia's job will be completed, and she will be return to my side." He finished. Quickly thinking it over Natsu complied wholeheartedly. "Great, well once you're finished eating, we shall see you off to the human world." Sirzechs said.

A few hours later

We rejoin Natsu accompanied by Grayfia as the two are outside the Gremory Mansion. Seeing the two off are Sirzechs, and the Gremory siblings' parents. (Don't forget that Natsu was adopted into the Gremory Family) "Farewell Natsu, hope you have fun and remember to keep yourself and Rias, safe." Sirzechs said. "You bet, don't worry about nee-san, I'll keep her safe." Natsu responded. After some more good-byes, Grayfia summoned a portal that would take the two to their new house in the human world. Stepping into the portal, the two allowed it to take them to their destination, disappearing from the underworld in a red flash.

Dragneel Residence, Human World

In another flash of red, we find Natsu and Grayfia in Natsu's new house. Taking a look outside, Natsu noticed the sky was light blue in color compared to the faded green color he was used to. If he was honest, it reminded him of the time he lived with Igneel. Remembering the father figure brought some tears to his eyes. Turning away from the window, he went back over to Grayfia to help with the unpacking process. Once they were done Natsu asked Grayfia for a tour around the nearby town. So for the rest of the day, the two spent that time exploring Natsu's new hometown.

The next day

Today signaled the start of a new semester at Kuoh Academy. We join Natsu who was currently wearing the Academy's uniform as he is walking towards the main building. As he passed by some of the students he overheard some of their conversations. Most of the conversations were related to him seeing as how he was a transfer student. Practically all of the girl's conversations about him were related to how attractive he looked, while pretty much all of the guys' conversations about him consisted of envy and jealousy, not to mention the occasional curse thrown his way.

Not too long after, Natsu arrived in front of his classroom. Choosing to be polite, Natsu knocked on the door and patiently waited for the teacher. Said wait didn't take too long as the Teacher almost immediately answered the door. "Oh that's right, you must be the new transfer student. Come on in and introduce yourself." He finished before heading back to his desk. Stepping into the room, Natsu took a good look at his fellow students. Recognizing a certain red-haired princess, as he liked to call her, he let out a small smirk, and then proceeded to introduce himself. "Yo, my name's Natsu Dragneel Gremory, nice to meet you." He finished ending with a short bow. Hearing a few gasps, he looked up and saw the other students looking back and forth between himself and Rias. Seeing her slight embarrassment, he gave her another smirk before he proceeded to his seat, which just so happened to be right next to a girl with a familiar looking orange ribbon fashioned into a bow in her hair.

Once he sat down, the girl with the orange ribbon, got his attention. "So your first name is Natsu, huh?" thinking nothing of it, Natsu answered honestly. "Yup, that's me." Laughing at his honesty, she continued. "Well, Natsu I have a feeling that I remember that name from somewhere." Hearing this got Natsu curious. After all, it's not every day that you hear about someone who bears the same name as yourself. "Really? What were they like?" he asked. She got into a thinking pose, that if Natsu found rather cute. After a few minutes, it seemed like she couldn't think of anything. Slightly disappointed, she turned to face Natsu and answered. "Sorry, I can't seem to remember where I heard your name before. It's as if I remember some parts but most of it is just fragments." Sighing in disappointment, Natsu chose to change the subject. "So may I have the honor of knowing the name of this fine lady?" he asked charmingly. Giggling at his tone, the girl happily replied. "Why but of course, since you so kindly asked, my name is Akeno Himejima." The now known Akeno answered, matching his tone. As the two continued to laugh and trade jokes, Rias couldn't help but watch the two interact in jealousy.

That's all for this chapter, I hope you enjoyed. Now for Natsu's peerage, I have come to the decision of making it into a poll for you readers to vote on. Within a week of this chapter's upload, I will post said poll up on my profile so keep an eye out for it. Hope you enjoyed, and I will see you when I see you.
