Devils of the Void NEW

Ren, boy reincarnated into the world of Highschool DXD and a Servant to Rias Gremory. however, things are not what they appear to be as more worlds begin to converge and new mysteries unfold.

Hi everyone and welcome to a new chapter of Devils of the Void! you may not know this, but I made a few changes to the last chapter. not massive ones, just to the identity of the kids they saved. hope you enjoy!

Chapter 4

Silence filled the living room of the Tenno family home as I paced anxiously in front of the couch where my friends sat, there faces ranging from worried to suspicious.

"Right, I guess I don't need to tell you that the Gods of old exist, right?" I asked, earning head shakes, "Well that makes this a little easier I guess,"

I stopped pacing and sighed.

"Alright then, the short explanation is that my Moms a Half-blood daughter of Athena, the Greek goddess of Wisdom," I said, "That means that I have godly blood in my veins."

Rias blinked.

"Thats it?" she asked, "You were worried about telling us that?"

I shook my head.

"No, I was actually planning to tell you after we took out the Stray. I only learnt Grandmas true identity yesterday when she showed up and gave me this."

I held up my pendent.

"Then why are you so agitated?" asked Akeno in confusion.

"Cus I got three Hunters of Artemis upstairs," I deadpanned, "Immortal maidens forever sworn of men and who also have a burning hatred for them more often than not. I'm worried that they're going to wake up, jump to conclusions and try to castrate me."

there were explanations of understanding all round.

"You know, the fact you have godly blood could explain your resistance to Light," said Rais.

Koneko stood and walked up to me, stopping right in front of me.

"Koneko?"

suddenly, she shoved me, sending me stumbling back into the chair behind me and plonked herself firmly in my lap, curling up like an overlarge cat.

"I want my seat," she said, before laying her head on my chest and closing her eyes.

"Um, OK…" I said, confused.

"Jeeze, will you two please stop beating around the bush and date already?" grumbled Issei quietly, earning a book to the head.

"So what now?" I asked.

"We go on as we were," said Rias, "We all have quirks that make us unique and trust me, having a Goddess for a Grandma is the least of it."

Kiba got to his feet.

"If you'll excuse me, I should get going," said the Knight, an odd look on his face, before he left the room.

"Guess we'd best get going to," said Issei, getting to his feet with Asia and Rias, "See you guys tomorrow."

"And I'll leave you two lovebirds alone, ufufuf," said Akeno as she left, leaving me with a sleeping girl in my lap.

I glanced down at Koneko and smiled.

"Dating Koneko huh?" I muttered before removing my pendent and flicking it, turning it into a blanket that I draped over us before taking off my glasses and resting my head back.

the next morning I woke up to a flash and the sight of my grinning sister standing over me, spinning a camera around a finger on the strap. I groaned and tried to lift my arm to rub my eyes, only to find them trapped. I looked down and saw that during the night Koneko had grabbed my arm in a vice like grip and was hugging it for all she was worth.

"Hey sis, you got a crowbar?" I asked, "I think I'll need it to get my arm back."

Niko just snickered and walked out of the room. I sighed and looked down at the silver haired Rook on my lap before shaking her shoulder.

"Hey Koneko, its time to get up."

Koneko mumbled and hugged my arm tighter, burying her head in my chest. I sighed and shook her shoulder a little harder.

"Come on Koneko, wake up. I need my arm back."

Koneko mumbled again and stared, blearily opening her eyes and yawning cutely as she stretched.

"Good morning," I said, rubbing my newly freed arm to get the feeling back, "Sleep well?"

"Better than I have in a long time," said Koneko, settling back into my lap.

"You know, as comfortable as this is, I need to get up," I said, "I need to go check on the Hunters and probably get shot at."

Konekos response was to hug me tighter.

"You can sit on my lap later," I said.

Koneko pouted slightly, but got off me all the same, allowing the blanket to fall off her. I grabbed the corner and flicked it, causing it to turn into a scarf that I wrapped around my neck.

"What? scarves are cool.," I said in response to the look I was getting from Koneko and Niko who was standing in the doorway, "By the way sis, could you prepare three extra breakfasts today? I need to feed our guests."

I had informed my sister the previous night of the presence of the three injured Hunters. Niko nodded and lead the way into the kitchen where we enjoyed a quick breakfast before I grabbed three plates of food and headed for the spare room with them on a tray. I opened the door and immediately stepped to the side, dodging the hail of arrows that would have hit me otherwise.

"Is that how you girls thank the guy who saved your lives?" I asked with some amusement as I stepped into the room and placed the tray on the table in the room, ignoring the three bows that were trained on me, "Breakfast is served."

"Who ist thou?" demanded the oldest, making me turn to face them with a raised eyebrow.

"Thou? bit out of date aren't you?" I asked, earning a growl of annoyance, "And it's considered polite to introduce yourself first Hunter-san."

"Ignorant boy!" yelled one of the girls, the one who looked to be related to Apollo, "Where are we?"

I sighed and walked over to the desk, pulling out the chair and sitting down on it in reverse, resting my arms on the back and my chin on my forearms, regarding the three girls who had not relaxed in the slightest.

"You know you three can relax right?" I asked, "I don't intend to hurt any of you."

"Ha, like you could!" scoffed the loud girl.

I sighed and rubbed my head.

"Good gods, you're even more annoying than Mom said," I grumbled, "Fine, my names Ren Tenno and last night I saved you guys from being eaten by three Cyclops who have read way too much Tolkien and am now offering you breakfast. your at my place and are welcome to leave whenever you like as soon as you've eaten breakfast."

The loud girl scoffed loudly, but the eldest and clear leader of the bunch relaxed and eased of the tension on her bowstring, although she didn't put it away.

"Zoe?" asked the other girl.

"The boy is telling being honest," she said, "He is not hiding anything."

she turned back to me and glared at me.

"This does not mean we trust thee."

I nodded.

"Thats fine, but could you please tell me your names?"

the leader seemed to consider it for a moment before nodding.

"Tis fair, we know yours after all," she said, "I am Zoe Nightshade, Lieutenant of Artemis, and this is Rachel, a daughter of Apollo and Maria, Daughter of Athena."

I nodded at both, my eyes lingering for a second on my apparent aunt before jerking my thumb at the food by the door.

"You should eat that before it goes cold."

Zoe nodded and grabbed a plate. That seemed to be enough for the Maria and she relaxed as well, grabbing one of the other plates. Rachel however apparently wasn't willing to trust me in the slightest.

"Of course he's hiding something!" she yelled, "he's a boy! there always hiding something!"

"Well, I've got a mars bar in my pocket I was saving for later," I said, pulling the chocolat bar out, "But other than that, I got nothing."

The loud girl snarled at me and loosed her arrow, only for me to catch it in mid air, and drew her knives before charging me. I kicked off and spun on the chair, kicking her legs out from under her, sending her crashing to the floor, before slamming a foot into her chest, keeping her in place as one end of Orpheda turned into a knife that was quickly pressed against her jugular, ignoring the other two Hunters as they grabbed their bows again.

"I don't know what your problem is, but don't drag me into it," I said mildly.

the Hunter froze under my foot at the touch of cold bronze, but glared at me none the less.

"My problem is that you damn males always lie cheat and steal!" she spat, "You've probably drugged that food so you can have your way with us!"

I raised an eyebrow before a slight chuckle emerged from my throat. I took my foot of Rachel's chest and allowed the knife in my hand to turn back to fabric, before kicking the floor and rolling over to the table where I stole a rasher of bacon of each plate and ate them.

"There, safe," I said, "And they would be. not only do I hate all who would try and force themselves on anyone, I regularly hang out with girls who would kick my ass yo Hell and back if I even thought of it."

I glanced at the clock and got to my feet.

"Well, this has been fun, but I need to be heading off to school. Your wounds should be all healed and you can go when you want. leave your plates in the sink when you leave."

I waved and left the room.

Rachal glared at the shut door and sat down with a harumph. as she did, she felt something press into her side from her pocket. she pulled the thing out and saw it was a mars bar.

END! hope you like this one. its more of a filler before the story starts back up. This is the last of PJ we'll see for a while, but I do plan to have an arc later with it in.

Orpheda's default form will be a scarf from now on, like how Irina keeps her Excalibur in the form of some string. why? cus, like Ren said, scarves are cool!
