Dam stats are looking good, I'm still hoping for more reviews per chapter, this chapter is all OC centralized so all about Kenta. Speaking of reviews here's some responses from the most active set of reviews yet.

Ryujomaru15: thanks, hope you enjoy the newest chapter, and I've been considering a few new ones to fill in the spots hope to hear your opinion.

Bleach God: I know you hate Raiser hell we all do, but I won't be giving Kenta EMS for this battle, if you recall on how EMS is obtained there is a lot more that has to happen for Kenta to get them if I ever give him them, but as for giving Raiser a beating on that level, sadly I'm not making Kenta that OP just yet, he's strong but nowhere near Madaras' level, but don't worry raiser will suffer, I added extra just for you and all the raiser haters out there.

Guest 1: while I agree that keeping them together would be a good idea, I was trying to give Issei some more girls but I might do it in the future once I've seen them in the anime

Guest 2: you're the first person to suggest ravel gets switched, I've been debating ravel for some time now, but I'm actually happy with her position. Whereas Yasaka is still debatable.

Freedom Kira Yamato: thanks for the recommendations, I think swiping all of them form the Khaos brigade would destroy them, I'm already planning on taking Kuroka, so taking any more might mess with the groups, though I'll consider sticking those two into Kentas harem.

Porunga the sage: glad you're liking it I plan to keep it going for a very long time. As for your writing, I'd suggest if your writing fanfictions to pick a show or anime you enjoy, for me that's a long list. Then just try coming up with new ideas for that and expand, I find making mind maps help, and then when it comes to chapter planning have a set path you want to follow and then plan chapters accordingly, if your posting online, make sure to build up a back log of chapters, six at the least, twelve at the most, gives you some breathing room if you hit writers block and trust me it will happen and you'll be glad for the breathing room.

Ok now back to the story.

Kenta's POV

Lavender, the scent of lavender and rose petal engulfed my nose, as I stirred from my slumber, my eyes slowly opened as I took in the sight of unfamiliar surroundings, it was a large bedroom, the bed I was lying in was massive, and the fire pace on the other side of the bedroom was alight, and the walls on either side and round it were filled with books, there was a doorway out onto a balcony, where I could see cherry blossom trees just poking above the railing.

'where in the hell am I' I looked around again after rubbing my eyes, I looked out the balcony doors to see the cherry blossom trees again, 'so in most likely still in japan, and judging by the view I'm on the second floor of an unknown building'

I put my head in my left hand as I tried to remember the last thing I was doing.

'I was following that girl, but then… nothing'

{Partner}

'Ehecatl, what happened I feel like I've been hit by a truck?'

{You were knocked out by hypnosis}

'So magicians then'

{I don't think so partner, look above the fireplace}

I looked to where Ehecatl directed and I was shocked when I saw what was above it, 'my family crest'

{Yes it would appear your grandfather had you brought here}

'Well isn't he very pushy, he could have just called'

Then there was a knock at the door, I turned to see two men slightly older than me open it, they were both wearing white kimonos with black wrapping underneath. Both had black hair and bowed to me.

I blinked a few times, 'what the hell is going on here'

"Maki-Ouji-Sama, Maki-Dono-Sama wishes for you to join him in the main hall"

'Ouji-Sama? Dono-Sama, what the hell is going on?'

{Best go along with it partner, maybe you'll find out something interesting}

I nod in my mind and get out of bed, when the scent of lavender and roses fill my senses again, the bed close, that's what it was.

I was shocked when I looked at my clothing, I was wearing a black kimono, with white wrappings with my family crest in red over the heart.

'When the hell did I change?'

Scene break

We walked through the hall ways the building was quite large I could hear footsteps above us, so there were more floors above as well as at least one below, I looked around at the portraits and tapestries on the walls, we passed three doors and down a set of stairs, before we came to a set of stairs atop which was a set of large double doors, the two men opened them and I walked in.

The room was very large there was a circular table in the middle of the room, with an eights cut out of it and the middle missing, on the ground in the centre of the room on the ground was a large version of the family crested carved into a large stone slab.

On the far side of the table there was a chair with my family crest carved into the top of its back.

As I walked further into the room, the stone slab began to glow and a light Shawn out of it.

'That looks just like how supernatural being teleport'

The light faded and an elderly man was standing in its centre, with a big grin on his face at seeing me.

'I know him' my memories shot back to the photograph, 'grandfather'

"Kenta, it's nice to finally see you again after all these years" he grinned as he came over and pulled me into a hug.

I returned the gesture.

"Well I'm sure you've got questions, come let me answer them"

He said as he released me from the hug and guided me over to some other doors at the side of the room while patting my back like were old friends.

{He seems nice enough}

'Yea whenever dad did talk about his childhood he always had spoken very highly of him, he said he always had a big heart'

The two of us left the room and entered another, it was a large living room, more book shelves and another large fireplace with sofas in every corner and a fire going.

We sat down in front of the fire, I on one sofa, he in the other as we looked at each other.

He was slightly older than in the photo, so old his once black hair was now faded to grey and his face had more ageing lines, his eyes were a deep chestnut brown, and were filled with the look of kindness and wisdom.

"I don't really know where to start"

"Ha-ha, well that's understandable, would you like me?"

I nodded, as I leant forward to listen.

"Very well, first we will start with who we are."

"Sharingan wielders"

He nodded, "We of the clan of Maki are the wielders of the Sharingan, heavens eye. It allows us to see the truth behind the truth. We are the watchers of the world, as nothing escapes our eyes. We have always been and always will be"

"Clan of Maki?"

"you weren't to be told of our family's legacy until you Sharingan matured or you turned the age of eighteen, to let you have the most of your child hood, once ether happened, you would have been told, for your brother it happened sooner as his Sharingan awakened before yours"

At the mention of my brother I narrowed by eyes, 'so my brother knew about all this, and now it's my turn to be told.'

"Up until now you have believed you and your brother were the only two Sharingan wielders left in this world am I correct"

I nodded in response

His dark brown eyes flashed as his Sharingan came out, "and now I will enlighten you as to the truth, come"

He stood up and walked over to a window, I soon followed I looked outside, the grounds were massive, the building I was in was huge, I could see another five floors above us, and the outside of the well maintained garden below, there were rows of houses, I could see thousands of people going about their lives, it was a thriving community. Then I saw the flag, my family crest.

"You are not alone my boy we are all watchers of the world, we are all your family as we always have been and will always will be. You are one of us and some day you will lead."

"What do you mean, lead."

"Kenta, every clan has a head, I am that head, and you are the last un-disgraced member of you fathers family, my first born son, you are the next blood heir to the clan of Maki"

My mind was completely blown, ever since that day all those years ago I had thought I had lost the last remaining family I had, and now, I find out I'm part of a clan, I can't even begin to think about this.

"Where are we?"

"We are in the main building of the Maki clan, here is where the head family lives, as well as where all council meetings take place."

"Where is here"

"A hidden location, classified as Maki territory, our village is protected by a barrier that hides us from the outside world, the land our village is built on and everything for fifty miles around is owned by the clan, so no one will wonder by."

"Are they all…?"

"Sharingan wielders as well, the majority are about ninety five percent, some are yet to awaken or mature but all have the blood of Maki running through their veins."

"We're all related by blood"

"Yes"

I take a breath taking in all this new information, I can barely think. The only thing that comes to my mind, anger, betrayal I was left alone for all those years. After that bastard took our parents from this world, and yet they left me alone to suffer.

"why…..why did you leave me alone, after their deaths I had nothing, you could have sent someone, anyone to tell me I wasn't alone to help me, why, why didn't you come why didn't anyone come I cried for days on end after that night, I didn't eat I barely sept with that sight still in my head, why"

Tears were streaming down my face, and I was yelling, even though I was looking at the floor, I just couldn't look at him. I hadn't felt such emotion in years it had been so long I though since that night, I drowned it way with booze and put on a normal face. But inside, inside I was breaking, I was cold and broken all because of him. But what he said. What he called them, traitors. What did he mean? Was what he did and the clan linked, I will find out. And then I will deliver justice.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, I slowly raised my head to see my grandfather with a very sad look on his face.

"I am sorry you were left alone and for what he has cost you, but you were never alone, before you father, my son met your mother he lived here in the village, he was loved by all, everyone knew him, there was not a soul that didn't, he was respected by all. Your mother was the exact same, when word of their death reached us, you weren't the only one in morning we all mourned, we all felt the loss, the cries of pain were heard for miles, no one was not hurt by their death"

He pulled me into an embrace, one which I gladly accepted, tears still flowing.

"Why, why didn't anyone tell me?"

"we couldn't, it is the same for all, all those born outside the clan are treated the same, until their Sharingan awakens or they turn eighteen, I pleaded with the council to make an acceptation to allow me to bring you into the clan so you weren't alone, but they wouldn't allow it, although I am clan head decisions regarding the clan laws fall to them. But know you were never alone, we were here waiting for you when you were ready, and that is why when your Sharingan awakened I reached out to you as soon as I could, to bring you home"

So many emotions raced through my mind, in the next few minutes I he held me in his embrace, he wanted to help me but he couldn't, his position stopped him, I suppose that he had the rest of the clan to set an example for, no one can be an exception, one rule for all.

"Thank you, for coming now"

"I only wish I could have brought you in sooner"

We broke the embrace and stood in silence a few minutes as we both composed ourselves, 'I suppose I'm in the same position now as him and rias, I have an obligation to my clan, father would have wanted that wouldn't he, I guess I'll never know, but I will find the reason behind my brothers words and his actions'

"Come on I think you should meet the one who I sent to fetch you"

We walked back into the hall, where the girl that I was following from before was standing, she was wearing a white kimono, a female version of what the two men from before were wearing, now as we approached she dropped to her knee and bowed her head.

"Maki-Dono-Sama, Ouji-Sama"

"Kenta, this is Akiko Maki, a valued member of the clan, I trust you remember her, from your brief encounter, in Kouh"

"Ah yes the one who hypnotised me"

"My apologies Ouji-Sama, but I was instructed to bring you here without harming you and I had no way of assuring your cooperation so my Sharingan was the best option"

"No need to apologise, and you can lay of the Ouji-Sama, I'm not that fussed on honorifics, just call me Kenta, Akiko-san"

"I could never call anyone from the head family, just by their first name it's disrespectful as a Maki"

"You can if I allow you, I take no disrespect from family calling me by my name"

She blushed at my words, 'oh great at least she not closely related, at least I hope not'

"V-very well, Kenta-Sama"

I sigh "well I guess that will do"

"Akiko here is one of the clans' most adept wielders of her generation, and as such she has been charged with protecting the next clan head, meaning you"

"Me!?"

"Yes as she has been since your Sharingan matured"

"So that's why I felt someone watching me", 'I thought it was my brother', "well I'll be in your care Akiko-san"

"Please Kenta-Sama, I am not worthy of honorifics from the head family, just call me Akiko"

"Nonsense, I do not think myself above anyone, but if you insist, I shall call you Akiko then"

The three of us continued outside. As we leave the building everyone we pass on the way great me us with "Maki-Dono-Sama, Ouji-Sama" it's starting to get a little old.

But then as we exit the grounds, fireworks start going off and everyone is cheering, wow, what's the celebration about, but then I see the banners welcoming me home.

'This is all for me'

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that everyone around me is related to me, I spent the past seven years on my own. So to realize that I have a distant family this large is mind blowing.

Everyone crowds around me and lifts me up cheering and laughing,

We parade through the streets, meeting and greeting everyone as we went, grandfather introduced me as we went.

"Ah Fumito, it's good to see you again"

"Likewise Satoru-Dono, and Ouji-Sama, it's a pleasure to meet you finally"

"And you Fumito-Sama, please call me Kenta I'm not one for honorifics, and I've been trying to spread that fact, official meetings are different, but in public I'm just Kenta."

"Ha-ha-ha, you're just like your father, the same spark, and the same equal vision, he always cared deeply for other people"

"You knew my father"

"Fumito here and your father were best friends"

"Yea so much so I was his best man and I was there at both yours and your brothers births, as he was there for my sons', your births were the happiest moments of his life, you have my condolences"

"Thank you"

"Speaking of your son, where is he Fumito, I was hoping those two would become as close as you and Shoichi"

"He should be here shortly, he was just finishing some documents for the mine, and he said he would be here"

"Mine?"

"The villages' main sources of income, the mines. There are two, iron and coal Fumito's side of the clan runs the iron mine, it was actually ore from their mine that forged the family sword and helped to build most of the village"

"Otou-san"

"Ah here he comes now"

"Sorry I'm late, paperwork took longer than expected"

"Ah Genji, your right on time to meet the man who all the fuss is about"

A guy about my age comes running around the corner looking like he had just finished demolishing a mountain, he looks built for the job, he's wearing a green vest shirt with noting underneath, along with loose slacks and a green sash, and black boots, his hair is messy and can only be described as a mullet, his hair unlike everyone else is a dark shade of brown, slightly lighter than his fathers

"A pleasure to meet you, Ouji-Sama"

I face palm, 'can everyone stop calling me that'

{Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, enjoy It. it's more respect than you get from those devils}

'I actually prefer their normalcy to this brown nosing'

"Genji, Kenta here has asked that he not be referred to by his title, only on official business"

"Oh sorry, I guess"

"Ha no bother, it's actually nice to meet a guy my own age, been haled around by these old timers to meet everyone is starting to get tiresome"

"I hear you, hey want to go get a drink, I can introduce you to a few chicks"

"Aren't we all related here?"

"Ha me and you are about seventy times removed, the chances of someone hooking up with anyone, even within the fourth area is slim"

"Even so I'll just go for the drinks"

"Ha, suit yourself"

Me and Genji, went off laughing on down the street with Akiko behind us, as my apparent protection, while my grandfather and Genjis' father, heading off in the other directing, once we got to the bar, the rest of the night was a blur. And a blurry blur at that, I think I may have found myself another drinking buddy.

But I can't help but wonder, 'why do I need to be protected in the middle of our own village?'

The next morning

I woke up back in my bed in the main house, I felt like my head was had been kicked a hundred times, and my eyes were on fire. I wouldn't have woken up if my phone wasn't buzzing I looked at my clock to check the time, oh shit. Seven thirty, I'm meant to meet the Issei and the rest to head out and start training.

I lifted my phone and saw Rias was calling, 'oh great here we go'

"Morning Rias"

"Kenta where have you been, Koneko and Akeno, say they haven't seen you since you ran off yesterday, and that you never came home last night"

"yea sorry about that, I decided to get a jump start on training and took off to an area to meditate, ended up pulling an all-nighter, and now I'm about ready to collapse, I may be an hour or so late, you guys can go on ahead and I'll catch up"

"Alright, but for every minuet your late, you'll be doing a lap of the grounds to make up for it"

"So that's what I get for being enthusiastic about my training, and wanting us to win, geeze you're a real slave driver you know that"

"Then get here on time and I won't be, and you had better not be hung over like yesterday, Asia may have cured you but I could still smell it on you"

"Alright fine, I'll be there you slave driver"

I hung up and pulled myself out of bed I pulled on my regular clothes that I found pressed and hung over the seat.

I then made my way out of my room to find Akiko waiting silently, with a bag

"Ah Akiko"

"Ouji-Sama"

*flick*

"Ouch" Akiko flinched when I flicked her forehead with my middle finger.

"What did I say about honorifics? It's just Kenta unless I'm on official business."

"Sorry Kenta-Sama"

"So what's got you waiting for me?"

"Maki-Dono-Sama, instructed me to bring you to him when you woke up and all so to give you this"

She held up a vial of something green

"What is it?"

"The Maki clans, emergency hangover cure, it even gets rid of the smell of sake on your breath"

"Handy thing to have, I may have to pick up a batch before I leave" I said popping the vial and downing the content, 'something tells me my dad and gramps used this a lot'

"Already done" she said as she hoisted a bag, inside of which was a case with twenty more vials and a set of my gym clothes

"My stuff?"

"For your training, with your friends"

"How did you?"

"I've been the one watching you since your Sharingan matured remember, I know about it all."

'So I was really never alone throughout it all then' "Then you know I'm a devil"

"Yes"

"Dose my grandfather know"

"He does, I'd imagine that's what he wants to talk to you about"

"Ah very well then lead the way"

As we turned to head down the corridor, I stopped trying to thing for a minute. 'How did I make it back to my room last night, I was completely hammered with Genji'

"Ah Akiko how did get home last night?"

"I carried you after the seventh bar, you're surprisingly light"

I rub the back of my head with embarrassment, "sorry about that, when they started giving out free rounds I kind of lost it, I'll try not to put you in that situation again"

Main hall

We entered the main hall once more and there was grandfather waiting with a smile.

I walked over to him a greeted him with a bow, he pulled me into a hug.

"I've heard you've been having me watched for the past month"

"For your own safety, had your brother come for you"

"Ha, shame you weren't doing it before hand, I assume you know about me"

"I do though I don't know how"

"Simple my friend was in trouble and I stepped in to save him, I failed and we both got reincarnated as devils, that's about the height of it, is this the part where you disown me"

"never, the clan of Maki follows the lead of its head, for the past five hundred years this clan has been neutral in the three way war, never choosing a side, only watching, if it is the clans destiny to go to the devils side when you take over then so be it, that will be your choice, as far as you being a devil goes, I have no problem with it."

'Thank Maou"

"Thanks for explaining everything yesterday, it's good to know I'm not alone that I still have family"

"we will always be your family, now you'd best be going, you've got training to do for that [rating game], come back and talk any time, there is always a room here for you if you ever need a break from the outside world"

I nod then turn "ah any idea how I get back to Kouh, my usual traveling method isn't useful for distances like that"

"You still have the family ring don't you"

I looked to my hand, I had been wearing it ever since it came in the post that day

"Activate your Sharingan and picture in your mind where you want to go, the ring will do the rest"

"That's handy, thanks, can we talk more, I want to learn as much as I can about my lost family when I get back"

"I'm always here to answer any questions you have, now go kick that phoenix's ass"

I grinned and gave a thumbs up as my family crest appeared below me and I was gone in a flash.

Bedroom

I arrived back in my bedroom, and was about to go out the door when another flash came up in the room, I turned to see Akiko standing there.

"Akiko did I forget something"

"Yes I've been assigned to protect you remember"

I looked at her again she had her hair tied up in a ponytail. she was wearing a sleeveless crimson top, black arm warmers with leather straps around the upper arms and wrists to secure them, brown pants and crimson boots with metal plated caps, and on the base of her back, I could see a rather short katana, it was secured by a belt, she looked like a very capable fighter.

"Ah yes, but walking around like that in public is not an option"

"Not a problem I will be watching over you from the shadows"

It was then she sunk into the shadows below her feet. My eyes widened.

"So that's how you did it in the alleyway I thought I was seeing things, is that a sacred gear"

"Yes it's called shadow reach, it allows me to enter a world of darkness so that I may watch or attack from the shadows, and it's why I'm the most accomplished fighter in the clan, even though I'm so young"

"I would say that combined with your Sharingan would make you one very tricky opponent, I certainly wouldn't want to fight you"

"And I you, with your tempest gear I may not last too long"

"So you know about it as well"

"Yes, and the dragon that resides within it"

{Such a cleaver girl, it's rare to see someone so young talk look like their ready for war, your clan sure is an interesting bunch}

"Our clan doesn't always just watch from the shadows, sometimes we give the world a little nudge if we think it's going in the wrong direction"

{Interesting very interesting}

"Well I'm heading off to catch up with the rest of the Gremory group, make sure to stay out of sight then"

"I will, if you need to talk to me I will be able to here you, so just speak my name and ill respond"

"Sure"

I took off down the stairs and out to the Dojo, and filled a backpack up with weights, from the lifting machines, I used my magic to reinforce the backpack to reinforce the bag so it can hold the weight, throwing it over my shoulder, along with my other bag with my clothes. I started jogging to the club room.

'May as well start training early'

On the jog Akiko speaks up.

"You know your ring has a portable dimension which allows for storage of weapons, clothing and other objects"

"I actually didn't no one told me, but it's a handy feature. How does it work?"

"It's our clans special magic, simply channel magic into the ring and will what you want to go in or come out, it has your village kimono inside already, and objects can have special seals placed on them which allows them to be teleported to you, another one of our clan special magic's which makes finding things you've lost a whole lot simpler, it can even be placed on people, and you can ether bring them to you or bring you to them, as long as you have your ring all clan magic is possible so don't lose it"

"Good to know thanks for the info"

I was half an hour away from the school at the best of times but with these weights on me it took me an hour to get there. Going into the cub house I found a note on the table.

'Kenta,

Went on ahead, catch up when you can use magic circle on back of message, see you soon

Rias

Ps I told you not to be late'

"Dam she's such a slave driver that one"

"Before you go, here,"

A hand reached out of the ground with a piece of paper.

"Dam that's creepy. What's this?"

"It's one of those special seals I told you about, with it I can use my ring to teleport myself to your location, and once you land I will join you"

"Ok I'll see you there"

I put magic into the magic circle and I was engulfed and the next thing I know I was standing at the base of a mountain, I looked on ahead to see the rest of the club already half way up, dam better get caught up.

"Hey Akiko"

"I'm here"

"Just checking, I'm going to be going flat out from here on out so be sure to keep up"

"Hai"

I took off running.

And just a quick note if you're having trouble picturing Akiko and Genji

Akiko looks like Akatsuki from the anime log horizon, but with black hair

While Genji looks like Ganju Shiba from bleach
