Shorter than the last chapter but it was a good place to stop.
It gets weird in the middle.

Today starts off on two fronts. One for me and the other for Issei…I mean Asia. I only found out yesterday but Diodora appeared before Issei and the others once they got off the train and he proposed to Asia. He was also the reason why she got kicked out of the church so I understand the trouble they are going through and I have already told Issei that I'll pitch in to keep her safe. My problem was more directed to others than me, it was something that I was the centre of but the trouble would be on others. It's the first day back and I'm standing in my male form next to the teacher as he addresses our class. I could see Kiba and Saji in their seats waiting in anticipation.

"Ahem! Class … There is something new that Okami-san has to tell you. Please don't freak out."

Freak out?! You kinda make it feel like they will, especially when you said 'Ahem!' it's like you are afraid yourself or maybe you don't believe me …. I mean I showed all the teachers before so maybe he is still trying to understand it.

"Everyone! Not only am I a boy but I am also a girl."

My statement … rather abrupt but it stated what they needed to know. The black light enveloped my whole boy in front of the class and my clothes changed along with my body. As the light faded, I was standing in front of the class as a female in the girl's uniform of Kuoh Academy. The boys in the class just stared at me with open mouths and the girls took sides in their reaction. Some were jealous and I swear that some even clicked their tongues. Others though that I was really pretty and that I could beat Akeno or Rias depending on my attitude, and with how my attitude changes then I might be above them. Damn being a friendly woman. And on instinct I did what girls do best … unconsciously play with a boy's heart. I gave everyone a large smile and tilted my head to the side.

"Please look after me!"

If I remember correctly, then if this was an anime or manga then there should be a pink background behind my head with flowers spinning around. As I looked at the guys, I knew that I may cause a problem in the future. I looked towards our teacher who was holding a light blush like all the boys in the room, even Kiba which surprised me. I left the front of the room and went to my seat next to Kiba. As I sat down I undid one of my buttons due to the heat and sat in my chair confused as I saw the boys around me covering their noses.

The first few lessons passed quickly and as the first break came I left the room to go talk to Asia and Issei. When I get to the room I see Issei in the corner of the room with Asia, Xenovia and Irina. I didn't expect Irina to be here, let alone being in our uniform. I knocked on the door as I entered the room, the people I came here for turned around and Issei shouted out my name in surprise.

"Sora!"

"Hai! That's me Issei-kun, how is Asia doing?"

As I walked into the room all eyes were on me. The girls were complaining about Issei and were saying that he may infect me so I took my stand there and then.

"Girls! Don't worry about me if he does anything perverted then I'll make sure he can't use his dick … anyway you all here know me anyway."

The girls look pleased but turn to a confused expression at the end. Issei answers their questions for me.

"This girl is Okami Sora. The Wolf Prince."

I turn back into a male for a few seconds before reverting back. Shocked faces filled the room but I didn't have time for it so I turned my attention back to my fellow peerage and Irina.

"So what's up guys?"

The three devils in front of me just pointed at Irina as the bell rung to start lessons again. As I was leaving they said that all the information will be given in the ORC after school.

So once school had finished I made my way to the ORC to find out what the whole deal was. As I walked down the corridors with Kiba, I heard over and over a new nickname I had been given 'The Silver Goddess'. It became silver beauty at times but Goddess was the more popular one and it seems that I have definitely become the most popular girl in the school which got on the nerves of Issei. When it came round to lunch, Kiba and I met up with him and the others to eat our food in the cafeteria and I was stared at the whole time. Issei was unhappy that I was the top male in the school and that I was also a 'bishoujo' … though I think the reason behind that is a perverted one, actually I know the reason is a perverted one.

Upon arrival in the ORC, we all said our greetings to each other and waited for Azazel to get here before we started. We didn't have to wait long as he arrived a few minutes later; he never stays long so I can guess he is just a teacher so he can be our adviser. I was surprised to see Sona with him and also that she decided to place herself on my lap as Irina addressed everyone. It was a Yuri wet dream … for me anyway. I may be a happy pervert but hopefully it can be controlled.

"Yes! Everyone! Well, there are people I'm meeting for the first time but most of you I have met before. My name is Shidou Irina! Church…. No, I came here to Kuoh academy as a messenger of the angels!"

'Zirnitra … take me away from here.'

{Alrighty!}

On Zirnitra's word I find myself falling asleep.
I now find myself standing on a cloud next to Zirnitra as he is lying down next to me.

"So you brought me here."

{I sure did Wolfy. Wanna play?}

Zirnitra turned over his front left claw and a rainbow coloured ball appeared in his hand. My attention focused onto it completely and I kept eye contact with it not blinking. What felt like an hour passed by before Zirnitra threw the ball and I immediately chased after it. Once I picked up the ball I woke up, not a minute had passed by and Irina was still addressing everyone about why she was here. I opened my eyes to see the ball in my hand, I don't know how he did it but Zirnitra has a strange knack for what should be considered impossible. I heard him start to snicker as Irina started to talk to everyone again.

{You know that nothing that she is going to say will interest you.}

Zirnitra's voice fills my ears and I can't hear what Irina said. Zirnitra then continues to speak at the same time as Irina which breaks my concentration so I can't try to read her lips.

{It's nothing special. She was sent here by Michael as the angel representative.}

'Is that all?'

{You bet'cha Wolfy. A dragon doesn't lie to his master or mistress.}

Zirnitra's voice was filled with sarcasm. Why does he even bother if he plans to give it away from the off? This dragon is more of a pain than an atomic bomb.

'You ever gonna be normal?'

{You don't consider me normal? That hurts, Ojou-sama.}

I hate this dragon; I should shut him up somehow. Shame I can't seal him, his magic power is probably stronger than anyone we know. Is there a way to get rid of his existence but keep the power and the sacred gear? I'll have to speak to Azazel about this sometime. As Irina stops talking, everyone's attention turns to Rias as she brings in a cart that is holding cake and other snacks. Akeno then leaves the room with Asia, probably to make some tea. I feel tired … a black light falls onto me and I transform back into my male form. I'm the same person but the feeling changes, I feel completely different with Sona sitting on my lap when I'm a boy compared to being a girl. As a girl it feels like something normal but as a boy, it feels like paradise.

{If you like it so much then have sex with her.}

At first I thought he said it internally but I notice that everyone was looking at me. Sona looked at me with flushed cheeks and Azazel wore a look like he was proud of his son. I hope he doesn't treat me like his son, I wouldn't be able to live … although I could get rid of Zirnitra easier.

*Yawn*

Before anyone could say anything I yawn and break the atmosphere. I could feel my conscious slipping as I feel my head fall forwards upon closing my eyes. I held a small feeling of comfort before I left this world.

The next world or should I say Zirnitra's playground. The clouds once again, why clouds? He is a dragon so he can fly so there isn't that problem so why?

"Yo cretin. Why are we in the clouds?"

{Because it is really fluffy.}

"…Are you a little girl?"

Zirnitra was shocked by my statement … or playing along.

{No way. I would rather be gay than a little girl.}

I don't think I will ever be able to understand this dragon, I don't think I want to understand this dragon. He has gone from picking on me and others to have gone crazy. His craziness seems to be coordinated with my training, the more training I do the crazier he becomes. I don't think it's safe to continue training without a way to shut him up, I wonder if there is a sleeping pill for dragons.

"I will kill you."

{Already dead.}

"Exorcise you."

{You're a devil. You'll probably kill yourself.}

"Resistance due to Claiomh Solais."

{I am a part of you. Exorcising me will cause you considerable pain and possibly kill you.}

"Right now, I am willing to take that risk."

{…Well then. You are boring.}

"When haven't I been?"

{…I guess you are right.}

Silence. Clouds passed us by as there was no sound occupying the place until snorts appeared at random. Zirnitra had fallen asleep; he really does find me boring. I find him overbearing, he is just a pain and nothing else.

I sat down next to the dragon and started to wonder about everything that happened to me. This dragon has brought a lot of weird things into my life; I became a devil and got married at the age of 17. It's strange, dragons bring strange occurrences to those around them. There have been times where the world was at stake and our own lives were in the balance. I have also been brought out of my shell somewhat, I'm still antisocial but more lax with it especially with the ability to turn into a girl. One thing that is always in my mind is Abe Kiyomi, a monster hunter, both Sona and Rias have told me to be careful of her because I was a dragon and there was the chance that she could know I was a shape shifter. I have been at this school for a few months now and I don't think I have seen her once. All monster hunters would want to tame a dragon so why hasn't she approached me yet. Could it be my personality or has she not noticed me yet? That's highly doubtful, if she knows the presence of other animals and devils then she definitely knows I am here … with that why hasn't she approached Issei or Saji, they both have dragons in them.

This whole thought occupied me for the next day as well and became slightly troublesome. I was lost in thought and the class representatives were dealing with placements for the sports festival, when they called me name my reply was yes and what I found out later on would be that I said yes to volunteering to participate in certain events. Not just the male ones but also the female ones. I had to do each track race for both male and females, but I would be doing more female events that males. I would be participating in the Javelin, Shot put and all the jumps. The reason was that I didn't say no to it and the others though it would be best for me to do it even if I wasn't fully there. It's not like it matters, my only real opponent would be Issei and Xenovia but I am both a knight and a rook so I can easily win the running races and I should have more power than Xenovia because I use my fists rather than a sword … more often than not.

The rest of the week was constant training for everyone, a lot of our lessons became free and most people spent it doing training. Mine was seen as more severe than anyone else, I was wearing a full black tracksuit with a large rucksack that was filled with stones and I held 5kg dumbbells in each hand though I halved t-he bag when I was a girl. My days were uninterrupted; I was also allowed to spend all day on the track even when lessons were there mainly because I went straight to the track and had earphones in so none of the teachers or students got through to me. I would run for an hour before stopping for a short break and continuing again. The students called me insane for doing so much but it's really nothing, it's the only way to train myself now. I did this until Friday when I decided to take a break for a few days so I came to the ORC early and saw Rias and the others with serious faces, even Sona was here wearing a serious face.

"What's up?"

"Our next match has been decided."

Rias was the one who answered me but as I looked around the room I could tell who it was. Issei was looking rather angry and Xenovia looked like she was consoling Asia but that seemed like a weird thing to do for this situation.

"When do we get to beat his ass to the ground?"

"We don't know yet."

That's a bit of a pain, hopefully we won't have to wait long to find it out.

"Sona, do we have one soon?"

"No, our opponent isn't participating anymore so we have a rest. You'll be fighting for Rias right?"

"Definitely. It's a fight I can participate in; I won't miss something like that."

That's right. A fight is a fight no matter the opponent; I wouldn't miss one I could participate. Let's just hope it's sooner rather than later. The others didn't seem to hold the same opinion as me; they looked like they didn't want to go through it at all. It was a stupid thought process, you will always have to deal with it so cut it off at the head before it gets too far or becomes dangerous. With what I have heard of this I want to get it out of the way now and feel like contemplating assassinating him so there is no more danger from him.

The days pass by slowly as everyone concentrates on the sports festival but I choose to stay away from it for now. I have trained to the point where I can't be bothered anymore. The same goes for my peerages, I don't know how long it's been since I've gone there. The last time was when I found out that our next opponent was Astaroth, I even went to the student council room that day where I got nothing done. I ruined one document and got scolded by Sona, I think, the days hold no interest to me. I can now understand a ghost's life and why they would go around occupying objects or people, it's the only joy they can have until they pass on.

{It's been a week and a half Sora. You haven't been back there for a while and today you should go, even if you don't interact with them.}

"Fine."

So I go back, I don't really have the strength or would it be better to say ability to say no. I don't think I have answered no once since the start of all this training. Once I entered, I was met with worry and complaints. They didn't bother to say much after Rias looked into my eyes, the others were going to rant at me after Rias had finished her piece but as she was shouting at me for not coming she looked straight into my eyes and stopped. My eyes were a blank slate of brown, the black had gone leaving the brown to expand and fill what was left behind. I sat myself down as they started to talk about whatever we were here for. They brought a screen forward which had graphs on it.

It was graphs on the strength of the young devils and according to Azazel it had an anomaly, Sona's peerage. Sona was said to be in the middle of everyone in terms of strength and that she had no chance of beating Rias and her peerage even with me siding with Sona. There reason was that they were all heavy hitters with a healer, my presence was something that was underestimated. Azazel called me an 'Unknown', the fact that Claiomh Solais gave me the ability to control Holy energy despite being a devil has caused controversy above the nobles and other higher ups in the devils society. They want to use me as a lab rat so they can run tests and see if they can house Claiomh Solais and funnel out its energy to allow others to use holy energy and build up resistances to it. Luckily enough for me, both Sirzechs and Leviathan along with Lord Gremory and Sitri were holding them back but I was going to have to give a statement to the nobles as a part of the Sitri clan.

Back to the graph, the expected graph was meant to be Bael, Gremory, Agares, Sitri, Astaroth and then Glasya-Labolas but the graph was like this. Bael-Sitri, Astaroth, Gremory, Astaroth and then Glasya-Labolas. We were joint first with Bael due to what happened in our matches, both were due to fear. Bael was first because his fight completely crushed Glasya-Labolas, the new heir was said to be emotionally wrecked after that fight, Sitri was second because they were scared of me and the possibility that I could master Holy energy making me guess that they think I would revolt and try to either massacre the devils or make a new government. The old devils sure are imaginative, it's rather hurtful … it could be the presence of Zirnitra though I don't see why as he said he had been a part of the devil society a few times before and made good relationships with some of them but he was still seen as the head of the evil dragons. A whole load of bull really, he is only a conscious and has been for many a year so why would he start something now plus they should know that he is just a joker and likes to play pranks. A large scale civil war is not something that can be labelled as a joke in any way.

It went from bad to terrible for me soon after we finished watching the matches. Diodora Astaroth appeared in the clubroom.

"How are you doing? It is I, Diodora Astaroth. I have come to see Asia."

He appeared in the room with a fake smile that just oozed with lies. It instantly made me know that what he was going to say would be the rotten truth or a lie. The tension in the room rose on his entrance, the main offender being Issei but he was soon dwarfed as my aura started to leak out. My emotionless eyes were locked on Diodora as my body was covered in a black light, everything in the room become black. The walls and the furniture became black, you couldn't tell that the walls were made out of wood or the stitching on the chairs as the black light took over everything and looked like it created a film over the entire room. A grey square appeared next to me as Brutal Fang rose out of it and the square disappeared once I took it in my hand. My aura then started to put pressure on everyone as the room stayed silent pissing me off. Everyone bar Azazel, Rias and Diodora dropped to the floor but once I stood up my aura exploded and slammed Rias to floor while Azazel was made to drop to his knees like he was begging. My aura was different around Diodora, it was there to frighten him and freeze him in place and it was successful.

"What do you want?"

My voice was loud and easy to hear but it held no emotion at all. They only knew I was angry was because of my aura flowing throughout the room and soon to be the entire of the old school building as Sona came into the room with her peerage closely behind. They stood in the doorway as the black light started to flow out of the room and coated the walls. My aura didn't pass further than this room and when Sona took a step in to try and calm me her legs gave way and she dropped to the floor. Tsubaki then started to send icicles and bolts of lightning towards me as the others in the student council started to do the same but it had no effect on me, I had brought out Triumphant wall and was stopping their attacks easily. My gauntlets had also changed after performing 'Divine Conqueror' before they were a sleek pair of gauntlets with smooth claws but now the claws looked ferocious. Spikes jutted out of my forearm and were tinted silver, my hand also turned spikier as the claws became larger and sharper, each phalange was separated and was layered, the layer which covered the distal phalange was the largest despite being the smallest. They looked like real dragon claws as they were a murky white colour that looked like Ivory, this form also allowed me to use a non-physical wall. All I needed to do was hold my hand out and nothing would hit me, one of the balance breaker effects broke through probably due to my anger. I approached Diodora with my sword out raised above his left shoulder, I didn't feel angry but I wouldn't be like this if I was.

{Are you going to kill him or wound him? The others are asking you to stop.}

I turned my head to see the others staring at me in fear. Both Rias and Sona were saying something but no sound was coming out, they were too scared to make a sound. A feeling of self-hatred rose inside me and I started to feel sick.

'Zirnitra. Tell him to leave before I kill him, I don't feel good.'

The dragon doesn't say anything back to me but he does address everyone in the group.

{Astaroth, leave now before you lose an arm. I am having a hard time keeping him from killing you right now.}

Diodora just continues to stare at me in fear, now moving an inch.

{If you are going to stay here then I should start to describe how he wanted to kill you. There is mutilation, drowning, burning you with a cross and holy water or my personal favourite – hung, drawn and quartered. That was a good way to kill someone, weird use for a horse though.}

Without a word, Diodora quickly left the room through a circle and the black light started to die down. My gauntlet stayed on my left hand but brought the other one onto my right hand forcing Brutal Fang to disappear.

{Now Sora, you better get some rest. I don't want you throwing up anywhere.}

I felt a tug at my heart as my vision darkened and I fell to the floor in pain.

Next chapter will be a side story to explain what happens next.
I want the next story chapter to continue on in the storyline so a side story will deal with the problem and i think another side story will be done.
Possibly on one that's already done, i was thinking of the one with Abe Kiyomi because of the reference but i am somewhat against it.
It's a weird chapter and a few different things happen, i hope the direction doesn't confuse anyone.

Ciao.
