We see Rias Gremory, one of the two "Great Onee-samas", sitting in a chair near a window in her club dubbed "The Occult Research Club" on the east side of campus.
Right now, her "club members" indulged themselves in a game of chess at the center of the room at a table.
Yuuto Kiba. A Second Year that is quite popular among the female population. Yuuto is a seventeen-year old handsome young man with short blonde hair, grey eyes and a mole underneath his left eye. He wears the Kuoh Academy boys' school uniform.
Koneko Toujou. A First Year that is considered the school's mascot. At fifteen, she is a petite girl with white hair and hazel eyes with two cat-shaped hair clips on both sides of her hair. She wears the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform which consists of a white long-sleeved, button-down shirt with vertical linings, a black ribbon on the collar, a black shoulder cape and matching button-down corset, and a magenta skirt with white accents. Albeit, without the shoulder cape.
Akeno Himejima. A Third Year and the other half of "The Great Onee-samas". A beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure at the age of eighteen, with very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair is usually tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backwards, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place. She also wears the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform.
And finally, Rias Gremory. A Third Year also. At the age of eighteen, Rias is a beautiful young woman with white skin, blue-green eyes, and a buxom figure. Her most distinctive feature is her long beautiful crimson hair that reaches down to her thighs, with an ahoge. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face. She also wears the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform.
Lunch has started, and Rias sees a flood of students exit the side entrance for their break. One particular student caught her eye as he made his way out the entrance.
Dreyano.
Age seventeen. No surname. Very quiet and introverted in the sense of isolation. He prefers to not indulge in pointless conversations with others as it is a distraction to his education. But she can't help but feel as if there's something off with this boy. Like there is a power within him that she senses like no other. It is pulling at her that she immediately associates herself and the rest of her peerage with the mysterious boy. She then develops a small, enigmatic smile on her gorgeous face.
"Koneko. Would you please come here for a second?" Rias asks.
"Yes, Buchou."
"I have a job for you..."

After school...
As the sun sets, Dreyano quickened his pace to his home outside of Kuoh in hopes of getting to bed early, even though he doesn't need to sleep thanks to being an alien, but he likes the idea of this "sleep" that he hears about when he accidentally overhears a conversation. He almost crosses the bridge when...
"U-umm... excuse me!" A feminine voice calls from behind him.
He turns to find a girl his age wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform* with long black hair and violet eyes, panting slightly from catching up to him.
'Hmm. She puts up a good front. But it won't fool me. I sense a dark power in her. It smells like a Fallen One.'
Dreyano is no stranger when it comes to the supernatural in this world. It's the only other reason that he came to Kuoh. This small town is, apparently, a hotspot for this stuff. He wants to make sure that the humans do not get involved in any way with them. Of course he already knows about the "special humans". Sacred Gears. Artifacts handmade from God Himself in an attempt to help humanity out with unfortunate affairs between them and the supposed "other gods" from the four directions. It's a good thing that he wants to save the human race too.
But we're getting off track here.
"How can I help you, girl?" Dreyano besought the disguised Fallen with his blank expression. But she doesn't know that he knows, so it's fine.
"Oh, uh... y-you are the new kid at school... um... D-Dreyano, right?" The girl asks shyly.
"I am him. And you are?" The alien asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh forgive me, please! I'm Amano Yuuma, a Second Year. I-I've been thinking about you all day and I saw you about to cross the bridge here and so I decided to catch you." She explains while now sporting a dark blush.
'Ok, I know that she is playing games here, but when did she start catching a fever? She seemed perfectly fine when she started talking to me.' Dreyano says in his head, beyond confused.
"Alright. Do you have anything to ask of me, or are we just consuming time here?" Dreyano asks patiently with his blank expression, staring deep into "Yuuma" with his creepy black eyes.
She quivered underneath his unnerving gaze, but managed to contain herself, albeit still shaking. Even if she is a Fallen Angel, she can't help but be intimidated by him. He is dangerous to her race. He must die.
"Y-yes, I do. W-would you like to go out with me this S-Saturday?!" She blurted out with a flushed expression.
'There's that phrase again. Going out? I need an idea of what that is.' He resolves in his head before going into hers.
The disguised Fallen freezes in her place in a trance, with her eyes losing their life. She now looks like a puppet with her head down and arms dangling to her sides.
Inside "Yuuma's" head, Dreyano stumbles upon a bubble labeled "Human Relations" and sticks his hand in to absorb the information.
Going out/Dating: A stage of romantic or sexual relationships in humans whereby two or more people meet socially, possibly as friends or with the aim of each assessing the other's suitability as a prospective partner in a more committed intimate relationship or marriage.
'Sexual? Two or more people? Marriage? All of these human terms are so perplexing. This is going nowhere.' And with that, Dreyano exits her mind and into the real world.
"Yuuma" wakes up from a seemingly dazed plight.
'What WAS that?! What just happened?! Why did I suddenly fall asleep?! That was really scary... W-what's wrong with me?' She mentally panics.
"Excuse me, but I believe you asked me a question, and you suddenly blanked out. Should I be worried or no?" Dreyano inquires with a rather bored tone.
"I'm so, so sorry! I don't know what happened there, I swear! So, umm... w-what do you say? About this Saturday, I mean." She asks again but started to worry.
'So she wants to be my friend, a fake one. Yes, there's no doubt. She wants to kill me.' The extraterrestrial claims in his head. He might as well humor her,
"Alright. That is feasible. I'll see you at the local park, Amano." He dully states with his everlasting blank slate.
"KYAA! Ok! I'll see you there, Dreyano-kun!" She happily says before running off in the opposite direction. But before she left his line of sight, she stopped and turned to face him again and waved before continuing with her departure.
Dreyano blankly stares out into the distance, before taking his leave as well. But suddenly, he turns his head to a building and sees a white blur escaping into the dark alleyway. He blinks without a trace of concern and left.
Koneko is beyond shocked. Her senpai just agreed into meeting with the disgusting Fallen Angel. But she's also rather confused. He dealt with all of that with a blank expression, seemingly not caring what he was getting into. Like he's bored with his life or something. Just like her. She also doesn't care about almost anything as well. The stoic type. Seems like they have something in common. She blushed at the thought of her senpai and her with the same shtick. The white haired devil quickly disappears in a magic circle to the old school building to inform her [King] about what had transpired on the bridge.
~HSDxD~
"He did what?!"
"I was confused too, but unfortunately that's how it went down." Koneko explains to her master.
Rias couldn't wrap her head around what her cute little [Rook] had said to her. Her kouhai agreed to meet with the enemy this weekend at a park downtown. Surely he must've thought that a girl who he hasn't even meet prior to this day asking him out was a bit fishy. Perhaps he was too naïve to think that far.
Despite what everyone else thinks, she was rather infatuated with the sickly pale skinned boy. He was adorable to her, in a way. But now that a Fallen has gotten to him first, that will not stand with her. He was going to be hers and hers alone.
It's official...
She will save her kouhai.
"Everyone gather around. Here is what we're doing this weekend."

And scene.*I decided to have Raynare pose as a Kuoh Academy student because either way, it won't matter. She was dumb enough to not notice Koneko spying on Issei and her on the bridge, even though they might've been the same in strength and experience. So I deduced that it didn't matter if she was from a different school or not.And I might've rushed Rias' feelings for our alien protagonist a bit too fast. But I've noticed that in tge first five episodes of the show, she had a little something for Issei. Therefore, why not have her gain a small, tiny crush on Drey (that's my nickname for my alien buddy).And the reason why Koneko didn't question the fact that Raynare shut down was because Dreyano knew that she was there and manipulated space and time again so that that whole ordeal with jumping into her mind was skipped from her vision at that point.See you next time.
