Black Dragon and White Kitten

Chapter 2

New Devil and Hell Begins

Two weeks, two weeks is how long it had been since their first meeting, and every day they would meet in the park and play a wordless game of chess, okay, not a game, several games. The results all varied, Koneko won some days, Hiei won others, sometimes it was a draw, but the most important thing, they never talked except two times. At the beginning of the day, each day, Koneko would greet Hiei with a 'Hi', plain and simple, he would just say 'Hn' as his greeting. At the end of the day after the outcome, whatever the outcome, Koneko would say 'Bye' and Hiei would go 'Hn' as always, this didn't change for two weeks.

Every day that Koneko went to school, she would come around four o'clock, and stay until eight at night, then she would go and fulfill her contracts and go home. One stray devil was a call away, but that happened at seven thirty, Hiei either didn't noticed or didn't say anything about it, and that was the school days. The weekends were slightly different, Rias doesn't force them to work on the weekends so they have those days off from devil work. Koneko arrived at noon and stayed until six on both of those days, unless she was called in for a stray devil, but that hasn't happened yet.

While Koneko was at school or not at the park, Hiei explored the city, stole some food when needed, slept in the trees, took baths in the river as to not stink, and basically, stayed secluded. When it rained and Hiei didn't feel like getting wet he put himself under a bridge and waited out the weather, after that he returned to the trees. When that wasn't being done, and he wasn't playing chess with Koneko, he practiced his katas with his sword, maybe a low-level energy blast here and there, not enough to draw the other demons though.

Neither was complaining to this arrangement, in fact, if you asked the other old chess players in the park that noticed the two, they would say that it's nice seeing two young people so in tuned with each other that they don't need words. Others would say that the dates they were going on were great and all, but they wondered if the two of them thought about going out on a real date. Regardless of who you asked, you would get one of those two answers, and it felt like that wasn't going to change at all until they saw something new.

They did see something new, after two weeks of Koneko coming by after school every day and staying until she had a contract or if a stray devil came into town, she didn't show up one day.

Hiei stayed there and waited, occasionally he glanced at the clock in the park to check the time, then he went back to waiting in the same position as always, head bowed, arms crossed, eyes closed. Hiei waited until it was usually time for her to go and got up and left with a stoic look as always, but there was a twitch of annoyance if you looked close enough.

The old timers that were still there really felt for him, he got stood up that day, maybe she was seeing someone else behind his back and lost track of time with the other guy.

The next day Koneko showed up on time and set down with the usual, "Hi," with a little annoyance at being forced to work the day before, in truth, she had to tail Issei Hyoudou. Rias is scouting him because of his sacred gear and Koneko was sent to track him that day, which is why she couldn't make it, not that she'll tell Hiei that, but at least she knew she had a good reason. She was able to convince Rias that one person could always be spotted if they were following Issei all day long day after day, which is how she got Akeno to be able to follow the boy as well. So, when she said her usual greeting and didn't get a grunt in return, she looked and saw that the usual stoic face of Hiei held a twinge of annoyance to it.

He was obviously waiting for an explanation as to why she didn't show up yesterday, and if she bothered to turn her head, she would see a few old timers glaring at her. "After school club had me do some stuff," that was her excuse, it was an excuse that he excepted and he gave his usual grunt in response while the old timers lightened on the glares. Koneko figured she should inform him now that she would only be here every other day for a little while, so she did and he took it with his usual, "Hn."

Thus, began another day of playing chess like usual, the next day she wasn't there and left Hiei to his own devices, the next day she was and the next day she wasn't. This continued until one particular night, this night in question was a Sunday night, it was just getting to be sunset when Koneko was called away, she left with her usual and he gave his farewell as well. She knew what it was and knew that Hiei would be alright, the tree he usually sleeps in is far enough away from everything that she didn't need to worry, she knew because she checked.

Hiei decided that it was better to just find a tree somewhere to get some sleep, he'd been staying awake a little more than usual to finalize his plans to get home, and thus, needed some sleep. He knew that by now, most, if not all, of the old timers would be gone on Sunday by this time, probably gone to church or somewhere, he didn't know or care.

So, when he got into a tree and was about to go to sleep, he was actually quite annoyed when a couple came by the park, one was a brown-haired boy that was rather plain looking, the girl was a busty raven-haired beauty. It didn't take a genius to realize that she was using the boy for some sick enjoyment, and he could smell the evil that she radiated, but something did whisper danger about her. 'Maybe I should have a closer look,' Hiei thought before he seemingly teleported to behind a tree as he observed the two.

"Can I ask you a question, in honor of our first date, there's something I'd like you to do, to commemorate this special moment," the girl sweetly said as she moved from the fountain to stand in front of the boy.

"Sure, you can ask me for anything at all," the boy said almost automatically with a perverted blush, oh great, Hiei was dealing with a pervert about to get killed because of his perverseness.

"Would you die for me," the girl said not as sweetly, the voice was huskier and more seductive, typical cliché assassination, gain trust and kill, easier to do with perverted idiots.

"Huh, uh, what did you say, sorry, something must be wrong with my ears, I don't think I heard you correctly, could you say that one more time please," the boy idiotically said, humans and their idiot tendencies.

'Fool, this is where you run before you die, if you get killed from poison or a knife to the gut because of your failures, I'm not going to help you,' Hiei thought.

The girl stepped all the way in and leaned in close to the boy, "I want you to die for me," her voice was now full on seductive mixed with sadistic bitch. The girl backed off and exploded her clothes in a grand fashion that showed a healthy and busty figure before black ooze crept through her figure and formed a black leather bikini around her private areas with black feathery wings.

The boy was in shock with a perverted grin on his face before realization dawned on him and he fell to the ground with a face of fright, 'now this is a new one, never fought a crow before,' Hiei thought.

"Well I have to admit, I did have some fun today, considering how naïve and childish you are, things could have been much worse, thanks a lot for the gift too, very sweet, but even so," the crow stated before a light formed in her left hand. The light lengthened out and took the shape of a deformed javelin made of a red light, she switched to holding it in her right hand.

"Yuma wait, please," the boy begged as he started to stand up from on his butt, 'don't you know when to use your head,' Hiei thought as he was about to step in.

"It's time to die," the crow launched her javelin made of light at the boy, but Hiei was faster and caught the object with one hand from in front of the boy.

What he didn't expect was for the object to start burning him and force him to throw the thing to the side as to not burn him to badly, "quite the power you have there," he commented as he looked at his burning left hand.

"What's a devil doing here, nobody was supposed to know about this or even be here," the crow asked back as she saw that a devil just took a light spear out of midair, not to mention was able to hold one.

"Not important, you were disturbing my sleep, that's important," Hiei casually mentions before taking out his sword, the crow formed two more light spears and throws them. Hiei blocked them with ease, well, the first one was blocked with ease and knocked away, the other one was more complicated because he pit metal versus light and that broke his sword. He was still able to use the hilt though, so he knocked the second one away with the hilt of his sword in an instant judgment call. After that he sped straight for her, but she was able to spread her wings and fly into the sky above the fountain.

"Hurry and spread your wings and fight up here, little devil," the crow said in a mocking tone, Hiei put energy into his legs subconsciously and jumped with a burst of speed. The crow was so surprised that she failed to react in time and got a fist to her cheek for not paying attention, and she went rocketing to the ground for the trouble.

"Fight like a warrior, not a coward, troubling crow," Hiei mocked back as he landed on the water fountain tip with grace, he charged up his fists with flames and was about to attack.

So, when he felt a burning sensation in his gut and looked down, he was annoyed to find one of those light spears in it and an entry point in the back, "it was quite impressive that you could hold one of my light spears. Even more impressive that you could adapt on the fly with an instantly broken sword, but not fast enough to see the third, goodbye stranger," the crow commented. It was obvious what happened to him now, he got careless with her week energy, she controlled a spear separately the entire time just in case it was needed, it was and got him in a surprise attack.

Now she ignored him as he plummeted to the ground and focused more on the boy who was still frozen in fear, 'are you kidding me, I'm going to die a disgrace as a warrior and that little human is still frozen in fear, damn,' Hiei thought.

Hiei heard a flesh piercing sound and he could tell that he'd been stabbed by the crow, it was confirmed when she started to talk, "I'm sorry, but the fact is you were far too great a risk to us, I had no choice but to dispose of you. If you're looking for someone to blame, why not blame HIM, he gave you the sacred gear," there was a pause as the boy coughed up some blood. "Oh, thanks again for the lovely date, it was fun, even if it was messy at the end," she said, obviously gesturing to how her plan had an interference.

"Damn, I refuse to die here, stabbed in the back like a pathetic fool, I let my guard down, I will not die here," Hiei said determined as he released his demon energy as much as he could. It didn't take long for the energy to die out as he was fading out fast, luckily, he didn't have to wait too long before two red circles appeared, one revealed a red haired busty girl. The other one was quite familiar to him, "Koneko," he grunted out as he saw the girl, he reached out to the girl who he saw running to him before blacking out.

Koneko didn't know what to make of what she was seeing, for that matter, neither did Rias, "Koneko, what are you doing here, the plan was only meant for me to come, and who is that other boy," Rias asked the girl.

"Sorry, Rias," Koneko said hastily as the red-haired girl was ignored after that and Koneko rushed to Hiei's side, "idiot," she said in monotone as she rolled him on his back and looked at his wound. When she looked back over at Rias, she was done with Issei and was walking over to her looking rather aggravated at the unexpected outcome.

"He's not dead yet, which is surprising since he took a light spear to the back, and I think that was after he caught another one," Rias mentioned despite having an aura of aggravation about her.

"Can you help him," Koneko asked as she looked up to her master with wide eyes on the verge of tears, she made a new friend and didn't want to lose him. Sure, they only ever said four words to one another on a daily basis, but he had a calming aura about him, no one else out of her friends or the other peerage members had his aura.

"He did go toe to toe with a fallen angel, even held onto a light spear, fine, stand back," Rias relented to the pout face and pulled out her remaining pieces, she brought out the knight first. There was an immediate reaction from it, she began the ceremony and soon the knight piece had been integrated into his being and they had a knew member. "Koneko, since he's your friend, that you didn't tell me about by the way, you can take him home, or you can heal him at your place, which ever works for you."

Koneko blushed a little but nodded, she picked up the boy that wasn't all that taller than her, maybe a few inches instead of a usual foot, and teleported home.

Koneko's home that morning

Hiei awoke to a pounding in his head, again, his body felt lighter and ached all over from being stabbed in the back, that was when last night hit him like ton of bricks and bolted upright from on his back. He scowled as he looked around, and noticed the room he was in, it was obviously a woman's room going by the clothes that were in the half open closet. Judging by the size and the last thing he remembered from last night, he was in Koneko's house, he moved to remove the covers and noticed he was only in pants. He looked around and found his cloths folded by a chair in front of a desk, odd thing was, when he moved to grab it, he moved faster than he normally does. "Must be because of whatever they used to heal me," he muttered to himself as he slipped on his shirt and then cloak before putting on his boots and walking out of the room.

He walked into a hallway and walked to the kitchen, he was hungry, and if she healed him, she wouldn't mind him getting some food, that was his thinking anyways. He walked in and noticed a note on the refrigerator, he pulled it off to read it, "left for school, explain when I get back or at our chess spot."

"Hn, so, she'll finally reveal herself to me today, that's fine, this means I'll have to reveal myself and it was time to do so anyway," Hiei commented before grabbing a bottle of water and downing it in one gulp. He opted to stay and wait for her to return here, this would give him a chance to get some rest, his rest earlier was to heal, but now he needed to rest for real.

He rested on the couch in what the humans called an apartment for a few hours, that was when he heard the door open to reveal Koneko with the same look on her face that she usually has, stoic. He set up and watched as she set on a chair that was opposite to the couch while she placed her bag beside the chair, she set with her back straight and attention on him. "You're a devil, whether or not you were before doesn't matter now, you are now a devil," Koneko said that as a statement, not one up for debate.

'Just another name for demon as far as I'm concerned, the energies are the same, same with the term mazoku, just another type of demon,' Hiei thought to himself.

"You're also now in the service of the house of Gremory, my master's house, we're to act as her servants until we gain in power and prestige to be promoted in ranks," she informed him again, not up for debate.

"I know what it is that you do and everything," Hiei stated and watched as her eyes stayed the same, well, they grew slightly before going back to normal. "I read your mind and learned a great deal about the rest of you devils, I was already a devil, commoner obviously, but I had quite a bit of strength if you could believe it. The only problem was that I'm not from this plain of existence, where I come from, devils are known as demons, plain and simple, no lesser demons known as devils either."

"You talk as if you are from some other form of reality, I guess that makes sense seeing as how I've never known any other devil in existence to have a third eye," Koneko mentioned.

"Well, that's new, there are dozens of demons with three eyes in demon world, closest thing you have to it is the underworld. My reality is made up of three worlds, living, demon, and spirit, living being the human world, demon being the underworld, and spirit being heaven. I'm here because I was supposed to be going back home to demon world to serve under an S-class, you'd call it an ultimate-class devil. I was going to go there, but a special group within the ranks of spirit world known as the spirit defense force thought it would be a good idea to get rid of me as to not deal with me in the future. In truth, they created a vacuum seal because there is a three-way deadlock between the three rulers of demon world, the other two will gain new second in commands while the third will not. Not much different from the three-way deadlock between the three factions, is it," he asked after informing her of what she needed to know.

"So, how long until you felt you could trust me enough to tell me you probed my mind, which I'm not ready to forgive by the way," she mentioned casually.

"I'm not here to make friends, I'm here because I need to get home, the fastest way to do that is for me to get help from you devils, and I was about to be made an underling anyway so I'll play along, for now," Hiei stated.

"Fine, then let's go see Rias, she'll want to know all of this, and this is a good opportunity for you to meet your new master," Koneko said with an actually small smirk as she got up and walked to the door.

"I'll refer to her as anything other than that, or king, or majesty, or whatever else she wishes, if I refer to her as anything, it will be what I choose upon meeting her," he said as he also got up and walked to the door.

ORC room

"So, let me get this straight, that disturbance a couple weeks ago was him, he came through because his world's equivalent of angels decided it would be best to get rid of him, not send him to this demon world to keep balance. In this other reality, there are only demons, no subspecies known as devils, no classes known as devils, and the only thing they are classified as are demons. These demons are ranked from F-class to S-class, with S-class being comparable to an ultimate-class devil. Heaven is known as the spirit world, the underworld is known as demon world, and the human world is known as living world, with Hiei being from demon world. He was supposed to be sent to ensure a three-way deadlock was kept between the three demon kings, each one equivalent to a satan in strength, did I miss anything," Rias asked from behind her desk. Akeno was beside her, Kiba was to the back and leaning against the wall, and the twin stoics were standing in front of the coffee table with it and the desk between them and Rias.

"No," Koneko and Hiei both said having the same face on, Koneko answered in a monotone voice, Hiei answered in a stoic voice, and the others in the room just looked on in fascination.

"Good, I would like to know how you can read minds, Koneko wouldn't tell me and thought it would be better if you showed me, and how long have you been reading her mind," Rias asked.

"I can read minds because I have a jagan eye, it can do many things, include read minds, I don't use it mid battle because it takes time and most fighters have mental blocks that take more time to get through. I've only read her mind on the third day we played each other at the park, after that I decided I didn't need to read her mind anymore," Hiei answered honestly.

"I'll have to take your word for that, now, since you know about our culture and race, I take it you have a guess as to which evil piece I used to turn you into my servant," Rias asked again.

"The knight, the only one that can adapt to my speed, I was known for my speed along with my pyrokinesis back in my reality, all my power is intact along with my new devil wings," Hiei said and showed off his devil wings.

"Good, we can probably use that when fighting, I'll call Sona to get you a uniform for the academy," Rias made to grab her phone until she sensed a rise in his devil aura.

"I refuse to go to some pathetic human school, I'll just wander around town instead, not waste my time at some school," he stated with fire in his eyes.

"All of my peerage is to go to this school as long as I go to it as well, and it's only right for someone of your age to go to school," Rias said back as she stared him down.

"My age is not as low as what yours is, I'm ninety-nine, wait, forgot I had a birthday last week, one hundred years old, that is far older than you," Hiei informed them.

"Well, you don't have any basic knowledge such as what someone your age is supposed to have, so, you're still going to school, besides, the girls here outnumber the boys, if that helps," Akeno offered, thinking he was like Issei.

"It doesn't, I'm a warrior, we strive on battle and bloodshed, not on the attention of women," he shot back before thinking, 'even if I have entered into that phase of my life, now battle, bloodshed, and women.'

"Fine, I'll throw in a little extra, I wasn't planning on telling you this until later, but, how about I get the satan Ajuka Beelzebub involved with your situation the first chance I get," Rias offered.

Hiei thought about it, getting that satan he knew, from Koneko's memories, would be a huge leap forward in not having to stay here as long, plus, if worse comes to worse, he could always sleep in his classes. "Fine, but no fuss is to be made about how I spend my time in those classes, which will be nothing but sleep as I wait to go home."

"Fine, I'll call Sona and get you the uniform, I just need to know where you live so that I can spell it to your house. I assume you probably used an ability to gain you a house or something, just the address will do, and a last name, can't have you go by just Hiei," Rias requested.

"I don't have one, but you can call me Jaganshi, and I've been living in the woods near the park where I first entered this reality, you can spell it there," Hiei made to leave before he found the door blocked by the other knight, Kiba Yuto.

"Unacceptable, I will not have one of my servants living in the woods like some mountain man, I'll get you a place to stay, should only take a day or two, this is not negotiable," now Rias had a fire in her eyes.

"Fine, spell it to Koneko's in the meantime, and Koneko, I know what I'm going to call each one," Hiei said over his shoulder with an edge of annoyance.

"I'm not going to like this, am I," Koneko asked herself, as she looked at his annoyed face, but his eyes held mischief in them, and she was right when he turned his body to face the rest of them.

"Crow," pointing at Akeno, he could tell some of the energy she was giving off had a bit of the same kind as the fallen angel he fought. "Goldilocks," pointing at Kiba who moved to his previous spot in the back and leaning against the wall. "Brat," pointing at Rias, she was obviously looking at him incredulously when he said that, one of her servants just called her a brat, like it was nothing.

"What did you just call me," Rias, Akeno, and Kiba all yelled at him at the same time, each for various reasons he was sure, but it's not like he cared about them.

"Crow, Goldilocks, and Brat, each one because of either your personality, feel of your energy, or your hair, I refuse to call anyone by master or king," Hiei said as he was about to walk out, but was stopped when he sensed something.

"That's a barrier, Issei's under attack, we'll finish this tomorrow, just be sure to come to school when your uniform gets to Koneko's," Rias said before they did an instant teleportation to where the barrier was, except Kiba.

Park

They arrived just in time for Rias to send a wave of magic to destroy a spear of light headed for Issei, who was the boy he saw yesterday getting attacked by that fallen angel. "What did you just do you little shit," the fallen angel said before he saw a red light, "and what the hell is that."

Rias went in and put on a little show instead of just getting it over with, she made a glowing magic circle under her, "keep your hands off of him," she warned before closing the magic circle.

"That red hair, did Rias come to save me," Issei asked before he passed out from blood loss, again, and it looked like he didn't even bother to try and stay awake.

"I'll teach you to metal where you don't belong," the fallen angel said while making a light spear before throwing it to head straight for Rias, but Koneko was able to come down and knock it away. The fallen angel caught it, "hm, I'm done with you," he made a charge for them both before he got a shot of lightning to block his path and blow him back from them by Akeno. "That hair, you're from the house of Gremory," the fallen angel realized as he was on his knees, struggling to get up.

"My name's Rias Gremory, and who are you, other than a fallen angel," Rias asked, she tried to make it sound polite, but it didn't work.

"Hugh, well, well, who knew, this town is currently under the control of the next head of the great Gremory family, so he's a part of your household I take it," the fallen angel asked.

"If you bring any harm to him, you'll get no mercy from me," Rias informed the fallen angel, although, it looked like he was already harmed.

"I apologize for the misunderstanding, though, it's unwise to let your servants run loose like this, next time he's out for a stroll he might run into someone less cordial than myself," the fallen angel advised.

"I appreciate the friendly advice, bear in mind, if anything like this happens again, I'll make you regret the day you crossed lines with the house of Gremory my friend," Rias said with an evil smile and glaring eyes.

"No offense to your noble household, but you should bear in mind that the same thing could be said to you," the fallen said before he spread his wings and flew away, "my name is Dohnaseek, I pray you and I never again cross paths," the barrier went with him.

The others walked to Issei, who was losing blood fast, "that was a close call, I can't believe he actually ran into a fallen one," Akeno commented.

"If we don't do something, he'll die," Koneko mentioned in monotone, as she saw the blood and saw that he was losing a lot fast.

"That won't happen," Rias said before she knelt down before him, "he'll live, I'll see to that myself," she began to pick him up before turning to the others. "You said that you'll stay with Koneko tonight, don't do anything to her, now that you're a devil, you'll get needs like any other creature," she sent him a glare for good measure.

"Hn," he grunted out before he turned and began to walk to Koneko's home, he heard footsteps beside him and noticed that Koneko fell into step beside him as he walked.

"Not going to assign me a name," she asked while they walked, it was quite dark out, but the light from the moon shone brightly in the night sky.

"Don't need to, you've shown to have more sense than any of the others and have reason that puts the others to shame, no need to insult that," he sounded out plainly and didn't see the her eyes widen a bit before going back to normal as they walked.

When they got to the apartment, Koneko went and wordlessly got in her bed while Hiei went and slept on the windowsill in the living room, without her knowing it of course.

Next morning

The next morning, we find Koneko rising to the sound of an alarm clock, a normal alarm clock with a buzzing sound, she gets up and prepares for school by showering, putting on her uniform, then eating breakfast. Before she leaves though, she sees if Hiei's uniform has arrived yet, it has, so she was forced to wake him and make sure he got ready before Rias got mad.

"Hey, get up," was all she said before he cracked an eye open to look at her before getting up fully as if he hadn't been asleep. "Uniform's over there, you can use the shower, then eat breakfast if you wish, we have time," she made sure to plan accordingly in case he needed any help, not that he'd ask for it. Wordlessly, he took off his cloak in a swift motion before moving to untie the bandage that covered his arm to reveal his black dragon tattoo. He removed his headband as well to reveal his third eye, grabbed his uniform and headed for the bathroom to shower and get dressed, took him about fifteen minutes in total.

When he came out of the bathroom, Koneko got a look at him and saw that he had on the full Kuoh academy male uniform, it closely resembled an American coat-and-tie with a blazer that had white accents. This was worn over a long-sleeved button-down shirt with vertical linings, a collar ribbon same as the girl's matched the black pants and brown dress shoes. Hiei decided to forgo the ribbon with the top button unbuttoned and kept his blazer closed with his hand covered in the wrappings and headband on, "I hate this," is what he said.

"Too bad," Koneko replied before discussing with Hiei what he was to do and where to go first, she handed him the papers that arrived with the uniform and told him who to hand them to, she knew she didn't have to tell him not to use his powers. She also told him that Rias wanted him to bring Issei by the clubroom when their school day was over, he'll be in the same class.

"Very well, let's leave so I can get this day over with," Hiei said as they got up and left the apartment for devils and made their way to school.

Kuoh academy

The academy size was impressive, but still too flashy for Hiei, he liked the simpler things and having so much was going to get boring really quick, especially with having to be around a pervert, he always avoided those. He and Koneko walked along the sidewalk together and into the school building and everyone turned to look at them, the comments were varied.

"Who's that new kid with Koneko, are they going out," one girl asked that had brown hair and hugging a girl with peach colored hair.

"No, this can't be, first Rias comes in with one of the perverted trio and now Koneko comes in with some guy nobody's ever seen before," the peach one stated.

"How dare some no name newcomer trash think he can get with Koneko, sweet and innocent little Koneko," a boy shouted with a glare.

"Lucky bastard, we all hate you," another boy shouted as well, soon all the boys were shouting out how they hated him and the girls were thinking about who the stranger is.

Hiei and Koneko just remained stoic and kept walking without any thought to them, and when they reached the main hallway, they wordlessly split up so Hiei could go to the office and Koneko could get to class. Hiei got to the office and only said what was needed and given what was needed, after that he went to class 2-A. He opened the door and stepped in, much to the teacher's annoyance, and handed him a letter he was told to hand to him, and wordlessly went to an empty seat as everyone else just stared at him.

"Class, this is a new student, Hiei Jaganshi, please make him feel at home since it seems he won't be talking to anyone, let's move on," the teacher commented before going about the lesson.

After that, the only thing of note was that all the boys who heard he was seen walking in with Koneko kept glaring at him and between classes the girls kept coming up to him. They asked things such as, 'where are you from,' and, 'what school did you go to before this one,' and, 'what's with the bandages on your hand and forehead,' each time he said the same thing, "it's none of your business," and ended the questions with a glare.

Pretty soon, not soon enough for Hiei, the school day ended and it was time to take Issei to see Rias, he moved when the final bell rung and walked up to the boy. "Brat needs to see you," was all he said before he turned and started to walk away, only, the boy wasn't following him.

It was when he heard the stupid question, "who's the brat that needs to see me, I'm supposed to wait for someone to come and lead me to Rias."

"That's who I was referring to, now move," Hiei barked and the boy did something that was agreed with by the rest of the class that was still there.

"Don't say that about Rias, she isn't a brat, she's a good-hearted person and one of the two great ladies of Kuoh," Issei passionately defended.

"Like I care what you think, now get moving," he said again with a glare, and as he left he heard the rest of the room scream out, 'never insult Rias again, shrimp,' now is when he missed Kuwabara, as foolish as he was. The two walked to the old school building and then inside without a word before getting to a room that Issei was clearly impressed with judging by his face.

Koneko was sitting on a couch eating a lollipop while Hiei just walked in and set on the windowsill, as good a spot as any to watch how this fool is going to react to all this. Kiba was sitting at the opposite couch and reading a book while Akeno was in the shower with Rias's clothes, laying them out for when she was through.

"What's happening, where are we," Issei asked before he noticed that Hiei already left his side and then he noticed Koneko, "wait, I think I know her," he commented before eyeing her perversely, going about it obviously. Then he noticed a shower running in the club and moved to being a pervert about the fact a shower is in the club.

"Your clothes are laid out when you're ready miss president," Akeno said, her voice echoing through the room.

"Thank you Akeno," Rias called from within the shower, and Hiei knew what was going to happen now, the boy will freak out.

"I just heard Rias take a shower, I love this club," Issei exclaimed with joy from getting to hear just a woman in a shower, pathetic.

"It's not polite to spy," Koneko mentioned in monotone while Issei gained a blank look at the thought that he just said that out loud.

"Who is that, I didn't see you," Akeno voiced out as she came out of the showering area and began to walk over and Issei flinched a little, "it's okay, I won't bite, you're the new guy huh, it's nice to meet you," she said with a bow. "There's nothing to be nervous about, everyone here is super nice, I'm Akeno, I'm the vice president," she said with a small girlish giggle, as if she forgot all about their other new guy.

"Uh, I'm Issei Hyoudou and I promise I'm not always this awkward," Issei said with a blush at thinking about the girl in purvey ways, don't need to be a mind reader to know that, the he realized something, "isn't that guy new too."

That shut her up and made her step over to the side, obviously she didn't like the new guy, "she doesn't like him very much because of what he called her last night," Kiba stated.

"What did he call her, wait, now that you mention it, he called Rias a brat in front of the entire class," Issei exclaimed while pointing to said offender.

"He called Rias a brat, Akeno a crow, and me goldilocks, he's not their biggest fan right now, or anytime soon," Kiba informed as the mentioned man had an impassive look on his face.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I know it's terribly rude but I didn't have a chance to wash before leaving your place," Rias said as she walked out of the shower area drying her hair while in full uniform.

"No, you're hot, uh, fine, I mean all good," Issei stuttered out and embarrassed himself more than he already had.

"Well, now that you and Hiei have arrived I think everyone is here," Rias stated as she motioned for everyone to sit. Everyone turned to Hiei and waited on him before they started, he looked at them and said, "no," before they all sighed and just went about their business without him. "We'd like to officially welcome you two into the occult research club," she welcomed them both, Issei set beside Koneko to her right, to her left was Akeno and Kiba. "You should know the name of the club is just a front, it's supposed to look like this is some sort of hobby."

"Okay, so what is it really," Issei had to be the stupid one and ask the stupid question, either that, or Rias never mentioned anything about devils to him, in which case the stupid part was justified.

"Well, since you asked I'll be frank with you, I'm not the only devil here Issei," Rias stated, scratch the stupid being justified off the list.

"Wait, are you saying that's what all of you are," he asked the stupid things again, it's obvious that once she said 'not the only devil' that they were all devils, nobody could be this Kuwabara level of stupid.

"And the winged man from yesterday was something else, a fallen angel, some think we're the same which isn't true, they want to serve God but it's too late for them. Their dark emotions have forced them into the underworld, the confusion is understandable because they too walk the earth misguiding humans. But they wish to please God so their goal is to wipe us devils out and gain supremacy over our realm, you call it Hell, and then there are the more recognizable angels sent by God to annihilate us as well. So, we're constantly defending ourselves from both sides," Rias stopped here in her explanation because he looked overwhelmed, "something the matter, you look a bit overwhelmed."

"Well, probably because I am, you're talking about some freaky deaky stuff here," Issei commented.

"Remember Yuma Amano," she asked and he was clearly surprised at the mention of the name, "of course you do, how could you forget, you two dated for a little while didn't you."

"Where did you hear that name, never mind, I don't want to know, I don't know how you know so much about my life but I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable here so maybe we should." He said before he started to get up and Rias put a picture in front of him on the coffee table, Hiei couldn't see the picture from where he sat but he meant something to the perv.

"That wasn't a dream Issei, she's real, I actually love that picture of you two, you remember it don't you," Rias stated before she asked a question.

"Of course I do, but how is this possible," Issei was seriously asking for it if he kept asking stupid things and didn't use his brain and process the information.

"The girl you went out with it also a fallen angel, she is made up of the same elements of the being that attacked you last night," she informed him.

"But that's the thing, did I meet her, Matsuda and Motohama don't remember anything about her, and why isn't her number in my phone anymore," he asked.

"We can erase human memory, it's usually ends up being the best thing for everyone, including your parents, after a fallen angel accomplishes her goals, she erases all memories and records from herself from everyone around the target," Rias stated.

"Wait, what goal," that question is where Hiei drew the line at him being just too stupid to be of any use and would only be a hindrance in the long run, on top of that, his stupidity got Hiei nearly killed as well.

"Can't you think for yourself and stop asking the questions that should be obvious, she just got through explaining that the supernatural world exists, magic exists, therefore a world you cannot comprehend. Your death was her goal, her endgame that night, she succeeded and you died and was brought back using magic, get over it. I don't have time to just stay and listen to questions from some fool who doesn't know how to think, I'm going out to train," Hiei snapped before opening the window and jumping threw it.

"What's up with him," the perv asked once he was gone, and nobody even tried to stop him, so either they were also surprised, or this happens often.

"He's mad because you won't get over your simple shock and start thinking instead of asking questions, didn't you hear him," Koneko asked in monotone as she sat there and was thinking the same thing.

"Not you too, listen, I'm sorry that I'm in shock that I was killed by a fallen angel that was my girlfriend at the time, or that I just died and was brought back to life, apparently, not something somebody just gets over," he pointed out.

"True, but that one gets impatient when people act stupid and don't think, he's known for his speed, which applies to his speed of thought as well, I've never actually met anyone like him before. He's not actually from this world, nor plain of existence, he comes from one similar yet different in many ways to our own. In his world, devils are known as demons and his home world known as demon world is on the brink of war thanks to people who didn't think a plan through to the end. Now that he's stuck here until he can get home, he's either going to have to learn to adapt at being this world's devils, or be known as a social pariah among us. Until then, he's too valuable of a piece to give up and it'll take time until a portal is made where he can leave, so he's stuck here," Rias explained.

"That blows, can't imagine what he must be feeling right now, to be separated from everyone you ever cared about in one swoop," Issei mentioned.

"Let's get back on track before we were sidetracked by Hiei stating his hate for people that can't think while in shock," Rias suggested before the rest of the knight went just like how it was supposed to go.

Next morning

Hiei woke up on his own, same time as Koneko, and he let her get take a shower first while he chose to meditate, he found the evil piece inside of him with his jagan, he could feel the power that it gave him. He could feel his upper limits and knew exactly what it was, he was high A-class now, possibly low S-class, he was stronger than Rias. He'll keep it a secret for now, no point in revealing that he is more powerful than them until needed, and with so many unknowns, he could use an edge. One thing that he's hating about that piece inside of him though, when it turned him into a devil, it boosted his power but took the limiter he placed on emotions. That outburst last night was not planned, he needed to keep his emotions in check, it would help if the fool would think, but he learned long ago not to count on anyone.

Koneko came out of the bathroom at that time and he wordlessly got in, she went to work on making a light breakfast since he didn't, probably was meditating, he seemed like the type. She made eggs and toast, simple meal for a simple guy, would be more helpful if he gave her a clue as to what he liked though, but then again, what did she care for? She knew he was just here until he found a way home or died from battle, he mentioned he was a warrior so he might try to challenge a powerful devil. She just hoped it wasn't the wrong one or the rest of the peerage would suffer because of his warrior spirit. Now that she thought about it, she was thinking about him automatically for some time now, maybe she should hide her emotions better, or spend time with him, see where it leads.

Hiei came out of the bathroom in time for breakfast to be done for them both, they both sat and ate in silence before going to school the same way, they both had a feeling it was going to be an interesting couple of days. Hiei was more hope, though he'll never admit it, because he might get to meet some interesting and strong people to test his upper limits and more time to control his emotions before he got home. Koneko because she just knew that idiot pervert was going to be up to something that got them into trouble with either Rias or the fallen angles. Either way, it was going to be one interesting ride for them, and both was feeling excited for change of pace, peace was good and all, but something different and new was good as well.
