Summary: A second chance, it's something a man like Itachi Uchiha would never think about. Reborn into a new world and earns a new life, will he learn to forgive himself, or once again he sacrifices his own life to shoulder the entire world on his shoulder, for the sake of peace? [Devil born Itachi].

[(Mostly)One-side] Itachi x Harem.

This story is inspirited by The Sharingan of the Crimson Princess made by Arcreed which he took down many months ago. I tried to contact him to get his permission for adoption, but after all this time, he still hasn't replied so I guess I will have to make my own version with what I can remember.

There'll be many similarities, but I will add my own touches in this as well.

Forewarning before starting the chapter: This chapter is based solely on Arcreed's The Sharingan of the Crimson Princess' chapter, because in my opinion, it's the best way for Itachi and Rias to approach Akeno.

I have found the original story on a site called with the help of a reader. If you want to read the original story, go there and find the story, but you can also visit my profile because I put the link to the story there.

I added my own changes in this chapter, so hopefully it won't be considered as an act of plagiarism (However, my flamers will probably accuse me doing just that). Like I said above, I tried to contact Arcreed before in hope of adopting his story. However, after sending so many messages and yet I received none, I think I should do it myself.

Now, in my own opinion, Itachi of the Sharingan of the Crimson Princess are a bit… heartless and cold. He seems like someone who has a lot of problems with life and always talks to other in a very sarcasm way. I don't think Itachi is someone like that. He's the Uchiha with the most 'love', and he 'loves' more than anyone else. He's also extremely wise, and incredibly patient with the situation, as well as others.

That's why I make the changes Itachi acts, the way he talks, the way he views things and most of all, the ways he shows his supports to others.

I hope you deeply consider my ideas for Itachi and come to like it.

Enough with that, let's start with the story shall we.

Chapter 5

[Time skip]

[1 years later]

"So, this is how the human world looks like…" Itachi said as he cast his sight upon a city in a country called Japan. He was honestly impressed with how large this city was compared to his own village or any other village at Elemental Nations. He could see huge billboards with language that was exactly the same as the one in Elemental Nations, stadium on the distance, where apparently a concert was being held, and a tall, red tower decorated with lamps standing at the center of the city.

At the same time, however, he wasn't really impressed with the architecture of the city overall, as he looked at the traffic jam on the road. "They should've given it a bit more thought about the roads design," Itachi mused, shaking his head in disappointment.

His complaint fell on deaf ears as his companion was busy marveling at the sight before her eyes.

"Look! Itachi! That tall tower looks like a Christmas tree!" said companion cheerfully shouted while pointing to a red tower in a distance.

"…It really does." Itachi nodded his head at his companion with a smile, who was none other than Rias Gremory herself "You have a great imagination, Rias-sama."

Much to his amazement, Rias had grown so much in the past two years, so much that Itachi believed she always had a grow spurt at least twice per month. Thirteen years old and she had already surpassed young women her age in every aspect, especially her beauty and… of course, her breast size. Itachi once thought it was a female devil thing to become that attractive even at a young age, but after observing Sona, and the girls at his school… Itachi believed it must have something to do with her diet or something to do with her mother, who was very attractive as well.

It was a just simple curiosity of the differences between human anatomy and devil anatomy.

Currently, the two of them were visiting a town in Japan. It was Itachi first time visiting the human world, and he couldn't help but feel really anxious about it. He was very grateful that Rias decided to take him with her on the trip, and her parents, who let her under his care without a doubt.

He was Serafall Leviathan's servant, after all.

"You're making fun of me, aren't you?" she threateningly asked with a pout.

"I'm not," Itachi answered without any hesitation.

"Kuh! I don't know if you're being honest with me anymore." Rias huffed, though she was smiling at him.

Itachi then looked around "By the way, didn't you say you want to see the whole city, Rias-sama? We only have a few more hours left to wander before Enku-san comes to retrieve us."

"Ah! You're right. How about we go there, then? It looks like we can see the whole city from there," Rias said, pointing at a shrine on the mountain. She then grabbed Itachi's hand and started guiding him to where she wanted to go.

Line Break

"Waaaah~, we can see the whole city from here!" Rias excitedly chirped. They were staring at the full view of the city from the top of the staircase that led to the shrine. Itachi had to admit, the city truly looked impressive from far away. The multi-colored lights, the decorations, and the overall design of it truly screamed Christmas.

"Itachi, look, over there is Kuoh academy," said Rias while pointing at a building in the distance.

"Kuoh… If I'm not mistaken, it's the school that's managed by both Lord Gremory and Lord Sitri, isn't it?" asked Itachi curiously and Rias nodded, answering his question.

"Yes, Otou-sama and Sona's father built that school so that young devils like me could experience the life and educations in the human world. But currently it's still an all-girls school, so male devils and students are not allowed to be there," explained Rias. Itachi raised an eyebrow due to curiosity.

"Currently?" Itachi asked.

Immediately after, his sight turned towards the shrine, or rather towards the presence that he felt from the shrine.

"Otou-sama and Lord Sitri are planning to turn the school into a co-ed sometime soon," explained Rias. She then whispered with a light blush on her face, "That way… You could attend school with me, and we won't be separated."

Rias didn't realize that Itachi had already left his spot and was currently staring at the empty shrine. Imagined her surprise when she turned her head and found out the young man had already gone. She frantically looking around and spotted him standing in front of the shrine.

Before she could scold him for ignoring her, Itachi started saying loudly.

"I know you're in there, and I know you've been watching us. It's useless to hide any longer. Come out."

Rias stared curiously at him and then she turned her attention to the shrine. She wondered whom Itachi was talking to, but then the shrine door slowly slid open.

"…."

The one who came out to greet them was a young girl about Rias' age. She had a long black hair tied into a ponytail, a beautiful face for a girl and wore a white one-piece dress. However, there was stains and dirt all over that dress, and the worn out condition the girl who wore it made Rias wince.

The girl looked like she had been through some unsavory experiences. Bruises on her body, cuts on her hands and feet, and some swellings as well, it was no wonder that Rias started to panic a bit and looked at him with eyes that practically screamed 'quick! Heal her!'.

Itachi planned to do just that, but he didn't want to scare the girl if he suddenly moved towards her.

The black haired girl continued to stare at them, and then she tried to speak, but Rias beat her to it.

"Are you alright? What are you doing here all alone?" asked Rias with concerns thick in her voice. The girl was baffled at the sudden questions. She cast her gaze downward, unsure what she had to say to these strangers. Fortunately for her, Rias decided to introduce themselves to ease the tension "Let me introduce myself. My name is Rias Gremory and that person over there is Itachi Uchida." Said Rias while putting up a gentle expression and pointing at Itachi.

The girl slowly backed away, glaring at them with suspicion.

"Eh? It's alright, I…"

"Please, just let me handle this, Rias-sama." Itachi interrupted her before she could say anything more. Itachi knew she only wanted to show her concern for the girl, but her method wasn't right at all. It backfired and scared the unfamiliar girl instead.

The girl stared at the young black haired man with a bit of curiosity.

However, when their eyes met, she instantly started sweating and fearfully took a few steps back, and prepared to run.

The moment she turned around was the moment Itachi took action. He got behind the girl with speed that Rias' eyes could not even follow, and wrapped his left arm around the girl's neck and the other around the back of her head. "This will hurt a little," said Itachi gently while tightening his grip and slowly lowering himself and the girl down to the old, wooden floor.

"A…" The girl was planning to scream for help, but Itachi stopped her from doing so by putting a little bit more strength into his headlock, and soon, she fell unconscious.

He then turned to look at Rias, who was comically staring at him with dead fish expression.

"W-WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"

Rias' scream echoed throughout the mountain, causing wild animals to scramble to safety in haste.

Line Break

"Ugh…" the girl painfully groaned as her eyes slowly opened. Sunlight entered her eyes as she blinked several times to clear her vision. She sat up a little looked down and realized she was lying down on a futon in one of the shrine's rooms. Grimacing, she lied down once again. "I'm alive, huh?" she disappointedly asked while staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Of course you're alive, I wasn't planning to kill you." a male voice calmly replied.

She was instantly alarmed by his presence and looked to the source of the voice. The young woman shot up from her position on the mattress and turned her head to the side to look at him.

"Ah…" She stared at the man with fear. It was the man who had attacked her.

Itachi said nothing and only raised his hand.

"Ah…stay away…" she tearfully begged. Itachi decided to ignore her plea. The girl then closed her eyes and waited for her death to come. To her surprise, however, she felt the sensation of cold wet cloth on her face. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that the young black haired man was using a wet cloth to wipe her face.

"And just a moment ago you were saying you're alive is adisappointment" Itachi said softly "Don't move, I haven't finished tending to your injuries."

Although she was totally bewildered by his attitude, the girl managed to calm herself down."You're… not going to harm me, aren't you?"

Itachi sweat dropped while placing the cloth in a large bowl of hot water.

"Weren't you listening to me?"

"You just said you're not going to kill me."

Itachi shook his head with a smile "Of course, I have no intention to harm you."

"Even though you try to suffocate me earlier?"

"You were trying to run away. It's the least painless way to stop you from trying to resist." Itachi pointed out, flicking her forehead with his middle finger, hard enough for her to feel it "Quick lesson, don't try to run away from someone who is trying to help you."

"Ah," the girl put a hand on her head. Then, she noticed her arm had already been bandaged, and it was pretty well done. She was still unsure what to think of him, but slowly the fear and anxiety that she had for Itachi were disappearing.

"Now raise your arms, I need to wipe them." Itachi turned to the first aid kit and took out a couple bandage rolls. While tending the girl, he had to wonder what, or who could possibly cause her such injures all across her body like that.

Hearing that order, the girl glared at him suspiciously again. "Will it escalate?"

"Huh?" Itachi turned his head around to look at her and made a sound of surprise.

"I have a feeling you would ask me to strip naked next," the girl accused.

Betraying her expectations, Itachi stated calmly with a shrug of his shoulders "Well, I've already done that."

"Eh?" The girl had finally noticed that she wasn't wearing her dress, but the jacket the young man wore earlier. He was only slightly taller than her, so the black jacket could only reach just slightly above her mid-thighs.

"Those are some nasty injures you have there." Itachi said casually, turning back to twist the white towel hard to extract most of the hot water from it "but don't worry, I cleaned them very carefully before bandaging you up. However, you still need a proper treatment to…"

The girl's hand instantly aimed for the man's face.

She was surprised, however, when Itachi caught it without looking at her.

"Stop fighting." Itachi said, turning around to look at her "You're condition won't improve if you don't rest. Just be calm and let me help you." Itachi said as he caught her other hand "Sigh… you're one very stubborn girl, aren't you?"

"Ugh...I...I don't need help," the girl said as she started to sob with a very deep red face.

At that moment, Rias hastily came in while carrying paper bags "Sorry, I'm late. It was hard to convince them to let me buy the items you asked me." Rias then saw the tears in their new friend's eyes and asked Itachi sternly "Itachi, what did you do?"

"I…" before he could answer her question, Rias abruptly stormed toward him and kneeled down beside Itachi, looking at the young Uchida with half-lifted eyes.

"It's only been two hours since I left you alone, and already you tried to hurt this helpless girl again." Rias scolded slightly. Then, she pouted and muttered under her breath "Even though you have me with you..."

"Ah, Rias-sama, I think you're misunderstanding." Itachi could only sigh and stared at her then at the girl who was looking at them with a gaping mouth "I think it's better if we explain things to her first," Itachi pointed out.

Rias turned around, and she went pale in that instant. During that last statement, she had completely forgot forgotten about the third party in the shrine they were currently staying at "A..."

"You two..." the girl muttered as she looked at the damage caused by Rias, and then her eyes fell to the two strangers again.

"T-there's an explanation for this! The truth is-!" Before Rias could make up a lie, the girl glared at them with eyes full of hatred. Then, surprising them, she said "Are you two fallen angels?" with a voice that carried nothing but contempt.

Itachi and Rias stared at her, and then they stared at each other.

Line Break

"I see...so both of you are devils."

After finishing tending her up, Itachi and Rias managed to convince the girl to calm down, and sat down to have a chat with them to give them the opportunity to explain themselves. But of course, they had also managed to convince her to change Itachi's jacket with the clothes Rias bought for her.

They told her that they were devils, and Rias was the daughter of Gremory Household, while Itachi was the son of her servants, tasked with the job of playing with her as a friend, and watching over her as a bodyguard whenever she decided to go somewhere far from home. They even told her that Rias was the little sister of one of the Maou, Sirzechs Lucifer.

Despite their explanations, however, Rias and Itachi had to show their wings to fully proven to the girl that they were not fallen angels, which only then did the girl finally drop the hatred, anger, hostility and many other negative emotions that she directed at them. She had also taken the liberty to explain that Itachi was not trying to hurt her feeling in anyway, but instead he was trying to tend to her injuries.

Rias instantly looked away, feeling completely embarrassed for reaching the wrong conclusion.

"Ahem, now you've finally understood that we're not your enemies, right?" Rias beamingly asked.

For the first time since they met, the girl finally had a smile on her face.

"Yes, and..." The girl suddenly bowed her head. "Thank you very much. You've treated my injuries and looked after me even though we've never met before. Unfortunately, I have nothing to repay this kindness, except expressing my deepest gratitude," the girl admitted shamefully.

"Can I ask you a question?" Itachi spoke up with a question.

"Please, go on then?"

"Since you know about fallen angels, I take it you have some sort of connections with them?" Itachi asked. The girl sat still, her lips sealed tight, while Rias slowly turned to look at the girl.

She continued to stay silent for awhile, and when she didn't seem to want to say anything, Itachi started speaking again.

"If you don't want to share it with us, it's fine. I'm sorry if I have intruded on your personal li-."

"My father is a fallen angel." The simple sentence that came out from the girl's mouth plunged the room temperature several degree "And my mother was a human," the girl finished as a pair of black, feathery wings sprouted from her back. Rias gasped slightly, though she didn't say anything because Itachi had signaled her to keep her lips tight.

Itachi nodded his head, and carefully constructed his next question.

"A half-human, half-fallen angel… So, that's your reason for hating the fallen angels, because you were shunned by them?" Itachi asked.

To his surprise, the girl shook her head.

"I don't care about something like that, I spent my life amongst humans and they could be worse than even fallen angels," the girl admitted truthfully. Then, with a voice covered in venom called hatred, she added, "However, I can't forgive that man who has abandoned mother and me, including myself who has his blood running in his vein." Tears started to roll down from her eyes. Rias walked closer and wrapped her arms around the black haired girl, letting her cried in her arms.

"Why? Why didn't he protect us? Why didn't he come and protect mother?" the girl asked, sobbing as Rias gently patted her back.

Itachi, however, had a different reaction to this.

"You know, it is not my place to say this, but… you must be a real fool to think that your father abandoned you while you're in danger, aren't you?"

"Wha-, Itachi!" Rias gasped in shock and then angrily shouted at him, while the girl could only stare at him, dumbstruck by his cold-heartedness. Rias let the girl go, and angrily stood up to him. "Itachi, you've gone too far. Try taking her feeling into consideration before you throw your insults."

"Let me handle this, Rias-sama." Itachi said simply to the crimson haired girl before turning to the black one "Now, young lady…" Itachi addressed the girl "You said your father didn't come to protect you and your mother, didn't you. But was that truly the case, did you see him and learn the truth, or did you come up with that theory yourself?"

That snapped the girl back to reality, as she stated glaring at him with venomous eyes. Rias turned to her, and wanted to say something, but then she bit her lips and sat down heavily.

"What do you know about it? I've told you, he-."

"Didn't come…or couldn't come?" Itachi asked, cutting her words. "I don't know the details of what happened, but do not let your emotions clouded the truth from your eyes. The result of that won't be pretty, I can guarantee you that much," Itachi pointed out.

The girl said nothing. She merely strolled closer to him and looked at him in the eyes.

"What?" Itachi asked.

"Are you…" the girl hesitantly began "Are you the same as me?" she asked, making Rias widen her eyes in surprise.

"No, but I do understand your pain." Itachi said. His mind thought about his brother, who he forced to live half of his life in lie "I have seen it before, the pain of not knowing the truth. It tears you apart from the inside and turns you into something else, something really bad."

The girl widened her eyes for a second before smiling bitterly "If you truly understand, tell me…what should I do? How do I get rid of this hatred?"

"Go meet your father, then." Itachi began. "You have to be sure of what happened that day. You don't want to make mistakes that you'd regret for the rest of your life because of fragmented truths. And…if it is as you have suspected, do what you want, I can't do anything further than that. The decision is up to you."

"I see…" the girl muttered with a slightly downed look on her face. When she looked up, however, she was greeted with the sight of Itachi's hands, which then gave her yet another flick to the forehead.

"Ahn!" she said in surprise, holding her forehead with both hands.

"One more lesson for you, young lady… Do not hate the blood in you, because it has the blood of your mother as well. You love your mother, don't you?"

With teary eyes, and red forehead, she answered, "Yes."

"Well,…that's all I wanted to say." Itachi smiled and turned to the crimson haired girl "Rias-sama, I will leave everything to you now."

"Huh? Ah, yeah, of course" Rias nodded and looked at the girl. At that moment, it came to her that they had yet to know the girl's name. "Uh…first of all, what's your name?"

"…Himejima…Himejima Akeno," the girl, whose name Akeno, introduced herself slowly.

"Akeno…well, you see, that is…" Rias inhaled deeply, calming her nerve "This guy, Itachi." she began, pointing at Itachi, "I'm sorry for what he said to you. I didn't know what came over him, but he's actually a really nice person… I mean devil. He only means well so…"

"I must admit I'm lacking in some aspects, but those words I spoke, Rias-sama, I considered them very carefully." Itachi said to her.

Ignoring his comment, Rias proceeded to hold Akeno's hands. "Anyway, I know we've just met today, but…I want you to know that we're here for you. We'll support you until you've met your father, and even after that, we'll still be there for you," Rias declared, earning a blank, surprised look from Akeno.

"Not trying to imply anything, Rias-sama." Itachi raised a hand "But I don't think you can come to the human world to visit her every day. How will you accomplish that exactly?" Itachi asked.

With a prideful grin, and puffing her chest, Rias declared, "Easy. We'll take her home with us."

"Well, of course you can but… what about…" For the first time ever, Itachi was lost for words. Rias' innocence and optimism truly amazed him sometime.

"Excuse me…Rias-san, wasn't it?" Akeno called out the Gremory's heiress, with doubtfulness in her tone.

"Just call me Rias."

"Okay, Rias, won't it cause a problem if I'm going with you?" Akeno asked.

"Of course not, you can come to live with me at my house if you want." Rias shook her head, smiling brightly "We have a lot of spare rooms, so you can take one for yourself when you're there."

"But I'm half fallen angel." Akeno replied sadly "Even if you wanted to make friend with me, the fact that I'm a fallen angel, your enemies in a way, would never change. We can't live together…"

"He-he~, then I just need to turn you into a devil." Rias jovially explained.

"Ah." Akeno gasped in surprise "You can really do that?" she asked hopefully.

"Of course I can." Rias nodded her head with a smug grin, putting her hand on her chest "I'm a devil after all. I will grant all the sinful wishes you want."

"Actually, we have special items called Evil Pieces." Itachi interrupted, making Rias pout "Rias-sama will probably explain it to you later, but all you have to know right now, that she can turn you into her servant, a devil." He then stood up "I will leave the two of you alone to discuss about this. It's a very important matter for both of you after all." Before he walked away, he turned back to say something to Akeno. "Akeno…"

"Hm?"

"Make your decision carefully, if you choose to become devil, there's no turning back." Itachi warmly said "But if you do, then welcome to the family" he smiled and walked out of the shrine, disappeared from the girls' sight.

"Ah…" Akeno could not say anything.

Rias, however, took her hands again and shook it up and down strongly.

"That's right, you'll be a part of our family now. We'll be together every day," Rias happily said. A small smile made its way to Akeno's face as she repeated the word that Rias and Itachi had said.

Akeno then looked at Rias with a slightly red face "Umm…is it going to be painful?" Akeno asked when Rias reached her hand into her skirt's pocket to pull out something.

"Don't worry, it won't. And if you're worry about it, living as a devil isn't that bad."

"No, I meant the transformation…"

"Oh, that? From what I know, it will only feel a bit numb for a second or two." Rias put the set of Evil Pieces she received a year ago down to the spot between them. All of them were crimson in color and one of the Bishop pieces had gold liners around it. After a few tests, the crimson haired young women picked up the Queen piece and groaned loudly in disappointment "EHHH!?"

"I-is there anything wrong?" Akeno asked worriedly, afraid that something might happen.

"Ah… it's nothing." Rias shook her head "It just… I want to save this one for Itachi." She said.

"Itachi is not your servant?" Akeno asked in surprise.

"He is… but he's not a part of my peerage." Rias explained "He's the son of my servants. His mother is my mother's maid, while his father is the head chief of my house, so he usually comes to play with me. We are best friends since then. Also, he has already joined a peerage." She said in disappointment "But his master, Serafall-sama is very powerful. My goal is to become really, really strong so that one day, I might surpass his master in power and trade him to my peerage."

"So, you can trade servants to each other?"

"Yes, but I make a promise to myself that I will never trade my servants to anyone. You're all going to be very important to me." Rias firmly said, hitting her chest "So I save up this one for Itachi… but I guess… it can't be help then…" Rias raised her hand, but Akeno quickly caught it, stopping her "What's wrong?"

"You don't have to if you don't, Rias." Akeno said slowly "Save that piece for him."

"It's alright." Rias smiled "I made a promise with you, didn't I? That I would take you to my home so we could live together. There's no way I'm going to go against that." She said "Plus, if Itachi were me, he would probably do the same thing. It's too bad, yes, but I think I will get over it, somehow…"

"I see…" Akeno nodded her head slowly "So, how are we going to do this?"

"Just lie down and hold this piece close to your chest, I will take care of the rest."

After Akeno had been turned into a devil, as Rias' Queen and the first member of her peerage, they took her to the Underworld and introduced the girl to the Gremory Family. Everyone was happy for Rias and decided to celebrate it with a huge party that night. The party had the presences of many high-class devils and important figures of the Underworld, including Sirzechs Lucifer and his peerage themselves.

Of course, Raiser Phenex was there, with his Queen at his side and came to congratulated Rias for having such a beautiful servant like Akeno. He left shortly after that but not before promising to marry Rias soon in the future and giving Itachi some status insults and a cold glare. To say Rias was pissed was a huge understatement, but Itachi, on the other hand, ignored them and went to talk to his mother.

Later that night, Itachi returned to his home with his parent after spending a couple of hours there helping them and the Gremory's servants clean up the party's leftovers, much to Rias' objection.

As soon as the door of his room was close behind him, Itachi reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out an object, which he then put onto the table and left to change his clothes.

It was an Evil Piece, a Queen piece.

End of Chapter 5

Yagami's note: DANG! That's a new chapter for you. Like I said on the note at the beginning of this chapter, it was based solely on the chapter Arcreed wrote in his story, because I believe it's the best way for Itachi to approach Akeno. It also helped me deliver the new chapter as soon as possible.

Now, there're not many things to say in this chapter, but I hope you like the changes in Itachi's characters I put into this story. I have always tried to keep the characters in characters as much as possible.

I hope the end of this chapter gave you the basic idea of what had happened a year ago when Serafall asked Itachi to become her servant. I will leave the flashback for future chapter, though.

Quick reminder, the King will need to perform a ceremory and the servant HAS to absorb the EVIL PIECE into their body so they can become the King's servant.

Anyway, that's all I want to say. Tomorrow is Monday and I will be back to my weekly routine at University and its laboratory, so I don't think I will be able to deliver the new chapter in a couple of days.

I will introduce not just Koneko, but also Kuroka in the next chapter.

READ and REVIEW! (I hope you keep the reviews coming, because I really love it when it reach the number of 100+ in the latest chapter!)

Ja ne!

P/S: And Arcreed, if you're reading this, I hope you don't mind me borrowing some ideas from your chapters from now on!
