OK i know i said i wouldn't be posting so much but, when i checked my views for the story this morning i was so happy to see over 300 views in a night, so i though i would celebrate with an extra chapter, hope you enjoy so here is the backstory of kenta, make sure to comment what you think, I've got a lot of ideas for him in the future.
on to the story
ORC room Kentas POV
I entered the room and greeted everyone and then sat down on the sofa, with my arms across my knees. 'Let's get this over with'
"What do you want to know?"
As I asked that, I guess Issei guessed how I was feeling as he sat on the edge of the same sofa and put his hand on my right shoulder, 'thanks man'
Rias got up from behind her desk and sat down opposite me, Akeno poured tea and sat down on her left. Yumi was leaning against the wall on the wall behind them, and Koneko was on the far left of the same sofa they were sitting on.
"First question, it's been bothering me since the other night when you fought that fallen angel"
"What about it"
"At the end, what he called you"
I closed my eyes, and lowered my head "you mean when he called me "Wielder of the Sharingan"
"Yes to what was he referring"
I smiled, I raise my head and my eyes shot open my Sharingan active, everyone who saw then visable flinched, even Koneko.
"He was referring to these" I gestured to my eyes
"Your eyes, what are they" Rias asked staring into them,
'If she wasn't an ally that would be pretty stupid' I smirked, not many people have seen them, so of course she wouldn't know.
"They are a very potent visual ability, which is received only if you are born with it, or I give away my eyes" I continued to smirk.
"So your parents had those as well" Rias raised an eyebrow
"Yes, both of them had the same ability" I said sitting back with my cup of tea
"So this Sharingan, exactly what does it do" Rias asked now very curious
"Well for starters it allows me to see everything that is happening around me" I took a sip of tea
"Everything" she asked looking shocked
"Yep, everything is in extra high definition, noting can escape my sight" I smirked
"I see that's a very handy skill" Rias said sounding very pleased
'She must be patting herself mentally on the back for roping someone like me into her peerage'
I sighed "Currently yes, it's not as strong as it can be but that will change"
"What do you mean?" Akeno asked this time, 'peeked your interest have I'
"This is not the final stage of the Sharingan, it's not a mature Sharingan"
""Mature?"" both Rias and Akeno asked in unison, I just chuckled
"Yes a mature Sharingan, is much more potent, my Sharingan has but two tomoe, a mature Sharingan has three"
"What's the difference in strength?" Rias asked.
"About a hundred fold. Sharingan, roughly translated, is also called 'heavens eye', kind of ironic seeing as I'm now a devil. It gives me unparalleled visual ability, a bonus with the photographic memory, I can see everything. A mature Sharingan gives the one using it, total insight. Allowing the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements or mimic something like pencil movements, I could even see a person through a solid wall if it was mature, meaning no one could hide from me, it doesn't matter how near or far"
"…That's scary" Koneko chimed in
"Even someone moving at break neck speeds would be easy to follow with a mature Sharingan, but it's most potent ability is allowing the user to copy muscle movements just by sight"
"So you're saying" Rias spoke
"All I have to do is watch someone fight and I can copy their moments and even predict them to an extent" I grinned
"It truly is a very frightening ability" Yumi spoke up.
"Any other questions" I said looking to everyone
"I've got one"
'And I bet I know what' I turned to Issei, "yes"
"You said you could see through a solid wall. What else could you see through? Clothes"
The girls, covered themselves.
'How did I know you would be the one to ask that?' I grit my teeth and clouted him across the back of his head.
"Like I would disgrace the Sharingan, by using it as a lecherous tool like that"
Issei was on the floor with a bump on the back of his head, moaning from my blow.
"Any serious questions" I asked sitting back down
"How do you afford to live in such a big house all by yourself?" Rias asked
"A trust fund my parents left me" I said taking a sip of more tea
"I take it your parents were well off" Rias continued
"Very, although I'm stuck with a monthly allowance till I'm twenty" I sighed
I knew what she was going to ask next, I was dreading it 'here it comes'
"What happened to your parents?"
'And there it is'
My Sharingan shrank down and my eyes returned to normal, "They were murdered in cold blood by a bastard seeking to only extend his own power and hurt those around him"
Rias was visually taken back by this, a look of sadness filled her eyes. Everyone else looked away, trying not to make eye contact. I knew it was going to be like this.
Issei was sitting on the back of the sofa now with his eyes closed he knew how painful the story was to me that I was most likely going to have to tell, but a deal was a deal.
"I'm sorry for asking" Rias said as she set her tea down
"No it's alright, I've been at peace with their deaths for a while now. It was seven years ago" I said putting my cup to my lips to take another sip.
"You said they were murdered, by whom" Rias asked trying not to step on a nerve, too bad the whole subject was one raw nerve.
"Buchou, that's pushing it a bit too..."
Issei came to my defence. I raised my hand, to silence him as I set my tea down after finishing it in one last mouthful.
"The tea was lovely as always Akeno" I said with a smile "Thank you for the defence Issei, but if I'm going to be in this group, they have a right to know as much as anyone, if not more so"
"Kenta" Issei said rather sad
"It's alright" I assured him.
I sighed and took in a breath
"Both my parents were brutally murdered, seven years ago, by my elder brother"
Authors POV
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock at Kentas words, his own brother.
So many though went through everyone's heads but only one question stuck out the most.
"Why did he do it?"
"I already answered that, he was seeking to only extend his own power and hurt those around him" I answered sharply, I don't like to repeat myself.
"I don't understand. What are you talking about?" Rias asked confused
Kenta answered by merely pointing to his eyes as his Sharingan flashed.
"Your Sharingan? What does it have to do with, your brother killing your parents?" she continued to push
"The next stage of a mature Sharingan" I said sharply
""""Next stage?"""" everyone except Issei said sharply, Kenta had told him all this years ago, when he had finally got the courage to ask, back then he was in tears over the loss of his parents at the hands of his brother, that's likely why Issei is so protective, he doesn't want to see his best friend like that again.
'You're a good friend Issei.'
"Once a Sharingan is fully mature it is indeed powerful, but it can get even stronger" Kenta said in a low angry tone
Everyone blinked at Kenta's words, from what they under stood a mature Sharingan can achieve incredible feet's, what else can it do?
"The second stage of the Sharingan, is the Mangekyō Sharingan, where the visual prowess of the Sharingan increase tenfold, and with that a massive surge of power and darker abilities would awaken"
"Darker abilities?" Koneko said slowly
"I don't know their details as I have never seen them for myself but if the stories I heard from my father when I was younger are true, a single Mangekyō Sharingan user can single handily level an entire city by themselves."
Everyone was completely speechless at Kentas words
"But why kill your parents" Rias asked
"Because of these eyes. They are both a blessing and a curse. The Mangekyō Sharingan, can only be obtained through severe unimaginable trauma. And in my brothers case he wanted power, and in his eyes, the fastest way to get it was killing our parents and awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, I was just unfortunate enough to walk in just as he slit their throats"
Akeno brought her hand up to her mouth as tears streamed down her cheeks, Rias' eyes were wide, Yumi looked like she was about to pass out, Konekos' eyes were brimming with tears and Isseis were closed.
"The next question you will likely ask, is why didn't mine awaken seeing that, well your answer is about as good as mine would be, maybe I was just too young, who knows. If I were to re live that trauma now, it would be different"
Kenta's POV
I got up to leave and walked to the door, I put my hand on the door knob,
"I haven't seen my brother in over seven years, since the night he killed our parents, the night he killed them, I swore I would see justice done, I don't care how long it takes, my brother's life will end by my hand"
"That isn't justice, that's vengeance"
I turned to Rias
"Aren't they just one in the same? Either way my brother will pay for what he has done, I will see to that"
I opened the door and left at that.
School roof Kentas POV
I stood on the school roof looking out at the sunset, my eyes stinging from the tears, I had left the club room just in time, no sooner was I out the door than my eyes were overflowing with tears, that meeting had brought back memories of the past that I thought I had been at peace with.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes
{Partner}
"You disappointed your host is so weak and pathetic?"
{No you're not}
"You watched them then"
{I did, there was nothing you could have done}
"I should have been stronger, if I had only came home sooner"
{Then he would have killed you along with them}
I stood there silent trying to calm myself, trying to stop the tears.
{I understand now, it wasn't you becoming a devil that awoke me, it was your will to see justice done on the day of your death, your shear will, in all my years I've never felt such will, and for it to come from a boy so young, I am honoured to have you as my partner}
I took a deep breath before speaking
"Thank you, that means a lot coming from someone like you"
{You wouldn't want the ladies to see you crying now would you}
"You're just as bad as Issei aren't you"
{So are you. you're just more subtle than he is.}
I laughed out loud at that one.
"Yea I suppose so. Hey Ehecatl, thanks for cheering me up"
{Anytime partner, anytime}
Ten minutes later ORC clubroom Kentas POV
I returned to the club room after I had cooled down, I knew I had to apologize.
I opened the door and saw everyone sitting down, they all turned to see me come in
"I'm sorry you all had to see me like that, the past can be painful
The next think I know Rias is in front of me bowing her head
"I'm the one who's sorry I shouldn't have made you relive those painful memories, Kenta, can you forgive me"
I put my hand under her chin and lifted her head up, looking into her eyes with a smile
"There's nothing to forgive, you did nothing wrong"
She smiled back
I lean up against the wall for the rest of the meeting, apparently Issei is getting to try his hand at getting his first pact, and this should be interesting.
Isseis' POV
"Issei, your work of giving out the leaflets is over. Well done."
Buchou is smiling. I see, so I'm done with handing out leaflets. Kenta is in the corer applauding comically. 'DICK' I turn back to Buchou.
"Now I will have you do the actual job of a Devil."
"Oh! Now I can make contracts!?" I grinned, 'this is going to a pain'
"Yes, that's right. Though, since it's your first time, it's going to be a contract with someone who wants to make a small wish. There's two reservation contracts with Koneko. Since it's hard to do both, I will leave one to you."
"…Please help me out." Koneko bows her head.
'So I'm going on behalf of Koneko-chan. I wonder what I'll have to do. Doesn't matter after handing out the leaflets for a night I was already board of it.'
The other members are outside the circle. Akeno who is inside the circle is casting something on my hand, then, the magic-circle starts emitting blue and white lights.
"U-Umm…"
"Keep quiet, Issei. Akeno is currently inserting your carved seal into the magic-circle." Buchou says.
'My carved seal? It seems like the magic-circle inside this room represents the "Gremory". I was told that for us, Servant Devils of Buchou, it's something like a family crest. So for people who are trying to summon us, and for people who want to make a contract with us, this sign represents our symbol.'
"Issei, put your palms towards here."
I put my left hand towards Buchou, just like she said. Buchou writes something on my palm with her fingers. Is she writing a charm? It feels like she is drawing something like a circle…Then my palm glows. There is a circular symbol, a magic-circle engraved in my hand. It's glowing in blue and white.
'Wow, a magic-circle!'
"This allows you to transport to the client's place instantly by making you go through the teleportation-type magic-circle. And when the contract is done, it lets you return to this room."
'Oh, I get it now. So it has that kind of ability.'
"Akeno, are you ready?"
"Yes, Buchou."
Akeno steps out the magic-circle.
"Now stand in the centre."
I stand at the centre of the magic-circle like she urges me to. Then the magic-circle starts to make a stronger glow. Somehow, I can feel power coming from it. When I'm touching this magic-circle, the power inside me is flowing out. So is this the trait for being part of the group?
"The magic-circle is responding to the client. You will be teleported to that location now. You already have the manual for what to do after getting teleported right?"
"Yes!" I nodded
"Good response. Now, get going!"
I have my tension rising up! My first job! I'm definitely going to accomplish it safely! The magic-circle starts to glow even stronger. It looks like I'm getting teleported there instantly. I close my eyes as the light envelops me, the light dies down, I open my eyes, what's going on?… I got speechless because of my surroundings.
—It's the club room.
Huh? What about the instant teleportation? Where's the client?
When I look, Buchou seems to be troubled and is putting her hand on her forehead.
Akeno-san is saying "Ara ara" with a disappointed face.
Yumi whispers something to Kenta and now he's on the ground laughing his head off, 'dam, he may be my best friend but now he's just pissing me off'
"Issei."
Buchou calls my name.
"Yes."
"It's unfortunate, but it seems like you can't use the magic-circle to get transported to the client's location."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha,.. Oh my sides, hahahahahahah" Kenta is doubled over laughing.
'Dam you Kenta'
"Huh? What does that mean?"
I put on a puzzled expression, and Akeno explains it to me.
"Magic-circle requires certain amount of demonic-powers… It doesn't require that much demonic-power. No, it's a feat that could be done by any Devil. Even children. Transportation through the magic-circle is the first and the easiest step of being a Devil."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha"
'Kenta!'
"W-What does that mean…?"
"It means Issei, your demonic-powers are below that of children. No, it's so low that the magic-circle can't respond to it. Issei, your demonic-power is incredibly low."
"Wha-!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh this is just too funny, hahaha...a…a...ha, you always were good for a laugh"
"…Unsightly."
Koneko says it expressionlessly.
'That is a severe hit, Koneko-chan.'
"Ara ara. We are in trouble. What should we do, Buchou?"
Akeno also has a troubled face and asks Buchou.
'Uggh. My debut as a Devil starts from a rough start…'
Then Buchou says it clearly to me after thinking for a while.
"Since there is a client, we can't let him wait. Issei."
"Yes!"
"This never happened before, but you will have to go there on your own feet."
"By myself!?"
Kenta looks like he's about to burst out laughing again.
"Yes, just like how you handed out the leaflet, you will have to go to the client's house by bicycle. This can't be helped. You don't have any demonic-powers after all. You will have to make up for that with your own body."
"On a bicycle!? I will have to go to the client's place on a bicycle!? Are there even Devils like that!?"
Point! Point!
Koneko and Kenta points at me silently. You two sure like to make me feel miserable, huh…
"Hurry and get going! It's a Devil's job to make pacts! You can't make humans wait!" Buchou urges me. She has a serious face.
'Ugggh, my goal for getting a peerage starts from a bumpy road!' "U-Uwaaaaaah! I will do my best~!"
I left the club room while crying.
Kentas POV
'I couldn't help myself it was just to funny, he was so hyped for it, then it just failed and it was priceless, I just wish I got it on video camera, oh wait, instant replay with the photographic memory,…HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, it gets funnier every time'
I wipe away a happy tear from my eye, as I turn back to Rias and the rest of the group
"That was possible the most hilarious thing I have seen to date"
"…agreed"
'You didn't even show any emotion, guess you never do'
"So what's next on the agenda?"
Rias smiled a very sadistic grin.
'Oh no'
Later that night Kentas' house Kentas' POV
I come in through my front door, I drop my bag and shinai as I walk in, I couldn't care less right now as I slowly climb the stairs to my room as I start throwing my shirt and blazer off.
'An hour tops my ass Rias. That went on for four hours, and she just wouldn't stop talking, ahhhh, I need to sleep. At least Issei and the others got out early for clients, I had to stay and get tutored by Rias, sure most of it was interesting, but after spending a week in my head training, then spilling my life story, and then almost busting a gut laughing at Isseis misery, I was beat…..hahahaha still funny even after the fiftieth time'
I open my bedroom door and just fall flat on my bed, "ahhh sweet release"
And that is that, i know most are going to call this a rip off of Sasuke and Itachi, especially with the Sharingan ploy, but I've got a lot more planned for those two, yes Sasuke and Itachi did play some part in inspiring the two Maki brothers but just wait until i get started on their side arc, and then their main arc, things will get really intense really fast.
as for the harems, they remain unchanged, due to the lack of recommendations,even though my last chapter had 100 views in a night and is still climbing, i only got one comment, so i replied to it viva PM instead of commenting before the story.
the poll stays open till next Wednesday and as they are closing ill be putting up a double chapter to celebrate, the final outcome, so get your vote in quickly, as it stands Koneko x Kenta, rias x issei are the pairings, but theres 7 days for that to change.
comment what you think, and as always.
Peace out ('-') ('-') ^(' - ')^ ('-') ('-') ('-') ^(' - ')^
