Dam well last night's views just shot through the roof, chapter one's views doubled and chapter two went broke one hundred, nice to see so many people are reading my fiction and from all over the world thirty one countries on my visitor chart dam I've got readers all over. And my favs and followers grew also that's awesome, let's see if it can happen again. Here's a few replies to the comments on chapter two:
ThProjectShadow: my exact thoughts I think after this chapter I'll throw up a poll to see what people think, so be sure to vote =)
blueXredXDemonicAngle: glad I've got someone looking forward to my future postings, also I was considering that, but there is still much more backstory to Kenta that I have yet to reveal, bonding over how she's afraid to use her powers was one of the two things I had an idea that those two could bond over (more info in later chapters)
Ryujomaru15: thanks and nice suggestions, as for Grayfia, while she may be married to Sirzechs, I can't even count the number of fanfictions I've read with there being a twist, where their marriage is just a political front, but I'm still deciding, I've got time till she make her appearance.
Guests 1&2: my thoughts exactly, but I'll be putting up a poll to let people vote, I've got plans ether way =)
BANKAIZEN: thanks =)
I've actually written a head to give myself some breathing room between postings, but I just saw how my views sky rocketed and I wanted to post something straight away, so don't be expecting three posts every week, I'll try to post at least once a week, Wednesday or Thursday, with the summer coming up I'll have a lot more time to write.
OK that's all back to the story.
'Well this certainly isn't what I was expecting. Devils, angels and fallen angels. You can't make this shit up.'
Authors POV
"Wait did you just say servant!"
"Yes that's right. It was the only way I could save your life. Your part of my house now and it's your purpose to serve the house of Gremory"
"So basically we're your slaves"
"No, the house of Gremory treats their devils servants as family"
"And what about you?"
"Comrades and friends, we're a family"
"Family."
Issei looked at Kenta with sad eyes he knew how much that word hurt him, and what pain that word had caused him in the past. Issei placed his hand on Kenta's shoulder in an attempt to help but it was pushed off seconds later as Kenta turned to the door.
"I need some air"
"Kenta"
"Not a word Issei"
Issei just watched his friend left, his eyes shadowed by his hair.
"What's up with him" asked rias raising an eyebrow.
"Long story" Issei sighed
"Do tell" rias said partially curious about one of her new servants
"Not my place" Issei said shaking his head
"Fair enough he'll tell when he's ready"
"You'll be waiting a long time. His past is filled with nothing but pain and suffering. I doubt he'll come out fully to anyone even me."
"I'll go and talk to him, it's my duty as his master to make sure he's alright."
Rias then whispered something in Akenos' ear before following after Kenta.
Authors' POV Street
Kenta was walking down the street, apparently completely oblivious that rias was following him just out of ear shot.
Finally coming to his house Kenta walks inside and out to the dojo out back.
Rias watches him as he enters.
Kenta sits in the middle of the dojo, legs crossed, after lighting some incense, he places his knuckles together, and breathes deeply. Rias is peering through the crack left in the door watching Kenta with his eyes closes, as he meditates. This goes on for a few hours until.
"Are you just going to stand there all day or are you going to come in"
Rias, shocked that Kenta had noticed her, despite her not making a sound, enters the dojo, and sits down across from Kenta who still has his eyes shut.
"How long did you know I was there?"
"Since you started following me, just outside the school gates"
"And yet you didn't say a word" rias raised an eyebrow
"And what would have been the point in havening a big blow out in the middle of the street"
"Good point. Wont your parents wonder why your home in the middle of a school day"
"I don't have any parents, but that you would have known that given that you had Toujou-san watch me after school on Thursday last week and the same with Issei and I on Sunday."
"How did you…"
"I know a few things."
"I see you know a lot of things apparently"
Kenta opened his eyes and stood up walking over to light more incense
"I know a few but not everything, I don't know why you followed me for example. You hoping I would spill my guts about why I left so abruptly?"
"I was hoping to learn more about my new servant, your part of my family now it's my job to help if somethings bothering you"
"And what could you possible help me with, my concerns are mine and mine alone." Kentas eyes grew shadowed
"But I'm here to help, as your master it's my..."
"Will you stop with this master and servant stuff its degrading?" kenta snapped
"I'm sorry, I'm just trying to help you"
"Well I don't need your help, you save someone and then make them your slave and then expect them to pour out their heart to you. While I'm grateful that I'm still alive, I will not kneel to someone I don't respect or even know for that matter, just for them to treat me as a slave" kenta practicaly yelled it in her face, furious.
"But you won't be, I told you the house of Gremory treats its servant devils as family" rias tried to reassure him
"I have no family" Kenta sighed
Rias looked at him in shock, not sure what to say. 'What could he have been through to make him so angry and full of hate?'
"I will not kneel to anyone" kenta said turning away.
Rias just sat there in silence, it was getting dark outside when rias finally did speak
"I…."
Rias was just about to respond when her phone rang, and she answered it.
"Hello, yea what the problem…WHAT! I'm on my way"
"What's wrong?" kenta asked his interest peeked.
"Fallen angels have entered my territory and they're in the vicinity of Isseis route, I'm going to help encase he gets attacked"
Kenta turned, "I'm coming to" Kenta said as he lifted a shinai bag as he followed after her
Issei falls to the ground after taking a light spear to his leg
"Did you think I'd let you escape? That's why lowly beings are a pain to handle."
The fallen angle hovered over Issei who was clutching his leg to his chest because of the pain.
"Tell me the name of your Master. It's a hindrance to get bothered by your kind. For that, we will… Wait, are you a "Stray"? If you have no Master, then that will explain the worried expression on your face."
The fallen angle raised his hand as he pulled together another spear of light and held it by his side
"Hmph. I don't feel any presence of your Master nor your comrades. I don't see anything that is trying to hide its presence either. And there's no magic-circle appearing here. According to the current situation, you are a "Stray". So it won't be a problem if I kill you."
The fallen angle took aim and threw the spear. It caught Issei and pinned him to the street as he screamed out in pain as the fallen angle just laughed.
"I have to say this is the most fun I've had in ages, let's see how many more of these you can take before you burst into ash"
He formed another light spear and threw it immediately but it didn't hit, before it was cut in half.
Issei opened his eyes to see Kenta standing over him, wielding his families' sword, which Kenta had shown him many times, a silver blade katana with a black lacquer handle and no guard. With two Japanese symbols etched into the blade, "Honour" and "Family"
"You will not lay another hand on him"
"Kenta"
Kenta swung round and cut the second spear of light in half vaporizing it, before turning back to the fallen angle
"Well this is interesting, I take it you two are friends, how about I end you both in one shot"
"I'd like to see you try" Kenta took a stance
Kenta's POV
I gripped my blade tightly and lunged at the fallen angle hoping only to clip his legs, but surprizing I jumped higher than expected, I was face to face with the fallen angle in a second I didn't know how but I wasn't going to waste this chance, I brought my blade down slashing him across the chest, he screams in pain as I landed.
"Ahhhh, you little brat that hurt"
"Consider that payback for what you did to my friend"
"Well consider this your death sentence"
The fallen angle swooped down with two spears of light swinging them for all he had. As he came in I activated my Sharingan. I simply dodged each swing, to me with my Sharingan it was like he was moving in slow motion like he was wading through oil and I was as light as a feather. No matter how he swung he couldn't hit me.
"WHY…CAN'T….I…..HIT…YOU"
"Simple you're just to slow"
After one more swing I drew back my sword and in one slash destroyed both his spears and delivered another slash across his chest. He fell to his knees and I had my blade to his throat.
"Now what was that about a death sentence?"
He looked up at me and then saw my eyes, his went wide. That's when I knew.
"Kenta"
I turned and saw rias appear out of one of her circles and I saw the look of surprize on her face when she saw me holding a blade to a fallen angles throat. I turned back to the fallen angle.
"You know what these mean don't you" I said gesturing to my Sharingan
"Yes" he answered gulping
"Where have you seen them before?" I asked trying to get some information
"A man" he answered looking like he was about to wet himself
'I see so he's still alive'
"Kenta" rias called me
I closed down my Sharingan and looked to rias.
"What should I do with this one?" I asked gesturing to the fallen angle
"Let him go, we don't know his reason for being here if its official business then we could start a war" she sighed
"Fine" I said as I took my blade from his throat and hoisted him up to my eye level.
"Where did you last see him?" I snapped
"N-northern Europe, N-Norway" he stuttered ready to faint if I pushed any harder
"Thank you" I grinned
I threw him to the ground as I walked over to Rias, sheathing my sword.
"Red hair, the Gremory family"
"That's right this area is under my watch, and these are two of my servants whom you attacked, leave now or your life will not be spared"
"Thank you for your mercy, heiress of the House of Gremory." He turned to me. "My name is Donaseek. The next time we meet you will not be so lucky. Wielder of the Sharingan." He said taking off
'my my still so arrogant after a beating, and you just had to go and say that out loud, I was hoping to keep it a secret for a few more days but oh well'
Isseis eyes went wide hearing that, and rias looked at me with curiosity.
"Kenta how did he"
Before Issei could finish I turned my gaze to him flashing my Sharingan momentarily. His eyes went wide also.
"When did that happen?" he asked
"Apparently when I died, I've been having headaches all day and they manifested this evening"
"But won't that mean"
"No they're not fully mature" I assured him
"Even still doesn't that put your senses out of whack, with the increase in power?" he sounded concerned
"I spent a few hours meditating this evening adjusting to the changes, what I didn't count on, was a strange increase in my speed and strength I've never heard of that happening before"
That's when rias spoke up
"I'm not sure what you two are going on about, but that speed and strength comes from your new devil body, one of the props of being a devil is a major boost in your physical capabilities and your body being able to use devil magic"
"I wish you would have mentioned those props earlier" I said in shock
"I would have but you sprinted ahead of me and got here ahead of me even though I used a circle" se chastised
"You were to slow, it's a good thing I did, if I hadn't Issei would be history, and I'd be stuck as your servant without someone to laugh at"
Issei was getting up but fell back when he heard my reason for saving him. "You mean you saved me because you like laughing at my expense"
"Oh come on you know what I mean, were buds if I lost you who would drag me home after a long night of drinking"
"Yea I know, I feel the same if I lost you who would defend me from the girls after I get caught peeping"
I face palm "you just had to ruin the moment didn't you"
We both burst out laughing.
A few minutes later when we arrived in Isseis bedroom, viva magic circle.
I laid Issei down on the bed his wounds were slowly healing.
"Thanks bud"
"Not a problem, try not to get yourself into any other mess's I've got to bail you out of"
"I'll try"
I turn to rias "Hey rias mind dropping me off at my house, it would be awkward if his folks caught me sneaking out of his room so late at night"
"Sure no problem, I'll be back in a few minutes to tend to your wounds Issei"
And with that we both disappeared in another circle
I opened my eyes and we were standing in my living room. I dropped on my couch and sighed
"I don't ever think I'm going to get used to traveling like that"
Rias looked around, the room was pretty simple two sofas a large plasma TV, a DVD storage shelf filled with countless series of anime, and a large mirror above the fireplace, I had a western style interior, I never liked Japanese interiors I don't know why. She then turned to me.
"Kenta"
'Here it comes'
"What did that fallen angel mean when he referred to you as "Wielder of the Sharingan"?"
I let out a sigh. I may as well tell her, but not yet, I want to milk her for some more info on what my new skills are now that I'm a devil.
"I'll make you a deal. You tell me what other bonus I have now that I'm a devil, and tomorrow ill answer all the questions you have about me, even the painful ones"
She blinked a few times, and then nodded "what do you want to know"
"everything, how come I wasn't this strong or fast during the day time, how can I see you so clearly even though were in complete darkness, why do I feel so awake when it's so late at night, and everything that's changed with my body now that I'm a devil"
She took a seat on the sofa across from me and started talking after I turned on the lights.
"I'll start from the beginning, your body has changed drastically now that you're a devil not only with your wings and your new ability to fly, but you have gained other perks as well such as a devils life span"
"And how long is that
"It varies, but we've been known to live for tens of thousands of years"
Well that is a huge life increase.
"On top of that, your new found sight also comes from your devil blood, we are being of darkness so naturally we can see in the dark, the other things you mentioned your new found strength speed and the fact you feel more awake at night all come from your devils side, but the downside is you're weakened by sunlight, you'll adapt overtime when your body adjusts, it's just because you're new"
"Well that's a lot of new info to take in, you mention devil magic earlier, what's that?"
"well normal humans cant preform out type of magic, without special training, but now as a devil you can with ease, control over the different elements, and much more"
"That sounds interesting"
'oh the things I could do with this magic'
"I can have Akeno give you some private lessons if you'd like"
"I would thank you" I leaned back on the sofa "well it seems being a devil might just be a whole pile of fun, even if I'm stuck as a servant"
"You won't always be, right now you're a low class devil, but you can advance"
'oh',"Do tell"
"There are three classes of devil, low class, middle class and high class, when you advance to high class and your skill are recognized you can create your own peerage"
"Peerage?"
"I'll explain more about that another day when ive got the others to show examples"
"Fair enough we can continue this conversation tomorrow in the club room which I assume I'm now a member as I'm in your "peerage" as it were"
"That's right, we meet ever break and for about an hour and a half after school, unless matters arise that require extra attention, break meetings are optional, normal just friendly chatter over lunch"
"alright this conversation would best be left till after school, its goanna take a while, could you arrange for Akeno, to show me some magic at break, this has got me intrigued"
"Sure, I'm sure she'd be more than happy to give you a quick lesson tomorrow, it's good to see you're so enthusiastic, may I ask why"
"Let's just say I've got one major goal in life and magic may just help me to reach it"
Rias looked at me with a confused look before she sighed
"Well I'm sure to find out about it tomorrow, I'd best tend to Issei now, good night Kenta"
"Good night, Miss Gremory~"
She teleported away with a smirk on her face after that good bye, this could turn out to be a very interesting new life.
{VERY INTERESTING INDEED}
I heard a booming voice, but I could tell where the hell it was coming from
"Who's there?"
{I AM}
"Where are you show yourself"
{DOWN HERE}
I looked to my hand to see a clear light shining out of the back of my hand.
"What the hell"
Ooooooooh shiiiiiiiiiit!
Well next chapter is going to be interesting, time for a little rewrite of the backstory of the heavenly dragons, things are going to be interesting to say the least, again technically I've already got this next two chapters written but I'll be spreading my posts out, this was just an impulse post, I may do this from time to time, if I get excited about a chapter now to answer some questions about this chapter.
Ok Kentas family sword, of course the design was inspired by the sword Sasuke used in shippuden (Sword of Kusanagi), that sword is just too bad ass now to have a place in my fiction, I've already mentioned the fact that he has a dojo and practices kendo so of course he's skilled with a blade but I've got plenty of ideas for some moves he could use when he learns magic.
As for the other man with the Sharingan that the fallen angle mentioned and Kenta's goal, you're just going to have to wait and find out in later chapters, I love teasing, be prepared for a lot of it =)

Backstory
This part I will have to keep to myself as it will be revealed in story, it will be quite dark but then that's what makes him himself.
His best friend is Issei Hyoudou, best friends since childhood they know each other better than anyone and have always had each other's backs, like brothers though not related by blood. They are practically inseparable. Except when it comes to Issei being perverted it normally ends up being Kenta who has to bail him out.
Ok quick update on the harem listings
Issei: asia, Irina, rosswisse, gabriel,
Kenta: akeno, kuroka, sona, serafall, xenovia
Ok I'm still on the fence with Koneko, Rias and Grayfia now, thanks for that Ryujomaru15,lol, so to decide I'm throwing up a poll it should be up a few minutes after this chapter is it, once I figure out how, never used the poll before, this one will be deciding the locations in the harem for both rias and Koneko so make sure to vote, I will be leaving it till Wednesday next week when I will be posting the next chapter, that's five days to vote, ok guys so please comment what you think of this latest chapter =)
