Hey hey hey guess who's back!

Anyway how are you guys, hope you're all good and well.
Chapter 2: Contracts? Shinji's Unbelievable Client!
To say Shinji had a migraine was a misunderstatement, yesterday he found out he died and was revived as a devil, then when he returned to his apartment he tried to sleep, only for him to see like it was day time after turning off the lights. He almost went insane after two hours.
So here he was, sleepy, shocked and angry.
"Why do I feel like these things will be happening from now on?", said the teenager out loud as he yawned, he was walking to Kuoh Academy as it was time to go to school, he was asked by Rias to go to the Occult Research Club after classes to start with his devil initiation, whatever that is.
Walking through the plaza close to his neighborhood he saw Momo, she was watching the people there. Most of the time Shinji saw kids from Elementary School playing there before going to class.
"Hey Momo, good morning", the teenager said as he approached his friend.
"Shinji…..", said the white haired teen as she watched her friend walking to her, she had a sad face while watching him, then it shifted to one of anger. Shinji knew what this meant, it was her 'you messed up big time' face, he knew a scolding was coming his way.
"Ok, first off I don't know what happened, but it wasn't me oka-", the teenagers excuse for an apology was cut as her friend dragged him out of the plaza, 'come with me' was the order she gave him, said girl made him walk to Kuoh Academy and hid behind a wall where no one could hear them.
"So….", the teenager tried to say something to break the silence, "what's the problem now-"
"Shut up. Just…..shut up", his friend cut him "I'm trying to hold back a headache because of you now", the girl was now using one hand to shut Shinji, the other was massaging her templates.
"Anyway ...what's up?", the black haired teen tried again to talk with his friend.
"What's up? What's up!? Don't you 'what's up' me!", the girl responded as she started to scream at the teenager in front of her.
Her eyes twitching from rage, her eyebrows frowned, her mouth curling into the one of an angry wolf ready to strike its prey, her breathing heavier as she inhales and exhales air; Shinji knew an ass whooping was coming his way.
"Woah woah, calm down Momo. What's gotten into you?", said the black haired teen as he separated himself a little from his friend, 'The hell did I do now?', was all he thought while running a memory check to one of his daily antics, none of them ending bad enough to get scolded like this.
"What's gotten into me!? Shinji do you-", the girl suppressed an angry noise coming from her mouth, "-do you even realize what you've gotten yourself into!?"
"As a matter of fact, no, I don't. Really Momo, the hell are you shouting at me for this time!?", even if he always listened to his friend's scolding, this time wasn't the case. The teen barely knew what was happening or why she was so angry at him now.
"It's because you've gotten yourself killed you idiot!", the white haired girl shouted "I told you to be careful, I told you not to roam around late at night and yet you, as you always do, goof around doing what you want instead of what I say! And worse of all you're now a reincarnated devil!"
"Well excuse me for being a-", before he finished his response, the teenager realized what his friend said, "Wait, how do you-"
"-It doesn't matter how I know", Momo finished for him, "What matters now is that you're a devil Shinji! You've gotten yourself into a world of darkness! You're now tied to your master and the devil society! And for what, play the 'knight in shiny armor' role!?"
"It's not like that Momo!", the teenager snapped, he ran out of patience, "You think I can leave a place like that!? After seeing a person lying down there!? And what if it was you, huh!? You think I can leave you, Issei, Kiryuu or anyone else like that because my gut was telling me!?"
"Well then maybe your gut is smarter than you!"
"And maybe you need to shut up!"
"Shut up!? Who do you think you are to tell me to shut up!?"
"Someone taller than you, that's who!"
"Well what you got in stature you also have it in brain damage!"
As the pair started to throw insults at each other, everyone else listened to them discussing, again. So they did what they usually do, walk a little further away from them.
"Enough! I'm having a shitty week as it is! Why do you even care anyway!? I'm alive and talking to you, right!? Why does it matter that I'm a devil now!?", Shinji said, he wasn't in the mood to argue with his friend. In the span of two days he was killed, reincarnated and found out that he's now a devil. Worst of all last night he couldn't sleep and was now discussing with Momo. Overall he was pissed.
"Because I-", Momo couldn't finish her sentence, loud screams coming from various girls were heard throughout Kuoh Academy, and said group was following a certain brown haired teenager.
Explosions seemed to come from behind the teenager as the girls threw what appeared to be test tubes with substances to him, some of them also had metal bars ready to strike when close to him.
"SHINJI!", Issei shouted, he caught up to the pair and hid behind his friend as if his life was clinging to it.
"The hell happened now, Issei?", the black haired teenager said as he watched behind his back to the trembling individual using him as a shield.
"You have to save me man! They already got Matsuda and Motohama!", Issei pleaded to Shinji, he was shaking as he watched him with sad puppy eyes.
"Move away Kouki, this is none of your business", a girl voice was heard as the group chasing the teenager caught up to them, the one that spoke is Hottaro Nanami, she is the president of the Chemistry Club, even though the club itself is not popular, it's often considered by the male students to be full of beautiful girls.
"C'mon Nanami, it can't be that bad", the teenager tried to negotiate his friend's salvation from his inevitable doom in the hands of the girls in front of him.
"Can't be that bad!? His group creeped us out while we were changing into our lab uniforms!"
"Kill that leech, president!", one girl of the group shouted.
"Yeah! Burn his pants with acid!"
"Enough! All of you!" Momo made her presence known before the situation could escalate to a worse level, "The use of toxic substances as a weapon is not allowed in Kuoh Academy, Nanami. You already know that". Her blue eyes met the president of the Chemistry Club, her stance firm, her voice loud enough to speak but at the same time able to carry a tone of authority.
Nanami was taken back by the way the member of the Student Council protected the pervert, "Wh-what? B-but he-"
"-It doesn't concern me what he did or not", the white haired teenager interrupted her, "You were threatening the life of a student. As a member of the Student Council what I say goes, and now I'm telling you to stop this act or I'll be needing you to follow me and speak to the chairman", her voice and words not leaving anything to be said. Shinji knew she was no longer the Momo Hanakai he knew, she was now one of the members of the Student Council.
To say Nanami was shocked to see someone of the Student Council protecting the pariah in front of her was nothing, she was furious! She should be on her side and expel the pervert!
"...alright, I'll leave him to you then", finally, she gave up, she couldn't argue with Momo. Although she was going to make Issei pay later, "Let's go girls, those electrolytes won't separate themselves".
The girls groaned but, as told, started to follow their leader and returned to the lab.
"I thought I was done for there", Issei sighed, even though being chased by girls was a normal thing for him, being thrown things that would burn him alive wasn't part of his daily routine. "Thanks Shinji, Hanakai-san! If you weren't here I-"
"-I'm not done with you either, Hyoudou", The member of the Student Council interrupted him, her eyes now looking at him, "Seeing the events that happened just now I will ask you to follow me and speak to the president of the Student Council"
"What!?", Issei was caught off guard, 'The president of the Student Council!? No! The last time I almost got suspended!'.
The black haired teen found his friend looking at him like saying 'save me!', he just smiled a little, "Sorry bud, can't help you on this one", he said while raising his hands in defeat.
"Come along now Hyoudou, Sona-kaichou will be mad if she loses her class because of you", said Momo as she grabbed the teenager by his arm, making her way to the front door of Kuoh Academy.
"Anyway, I'll see you guys later ", Shinji said while walking away from the group, he listened to the screams of Issei shouting 'traitor!' for a while before they ceased. As the Bell rang, marking the beginning of classes, he entered the building.
"So…..what do you guys do here?", said Shinji as he sat down in one of the Occult Research Club sofas, after finishing his classes he went to the place as Rias told him to do so.
"We just sit here and wait 'till Rias-buchou comes to give us our contracts", said Koneko as she ate one of her sweets, she was sitting on the couch opposite of the black haired teen.
"Right, contracts. So, what are these 'contracts' anyway?", asked the confused teen. Ever since Rias basically forced him to be part of her club, she told him she will teach him the basics of the devil society and what he will do from now on, these 'contracts' were one of those topics.
"Ufufufu, quite impatient, aren't we? Don't worry Kouki-kun, Rias said she will explain everything in time", said Akeno as she offered the teen a cup of tea, the latter accepting it with a 'thanks'.
"What a day this was", said a voice as the main door of the room opened, from said door came a red haired girl with a tired face, "Sorry to keep you waiting Kouki-san, l had a math test today and it killed me".
"Don't worry Gremory-san, I didn't wait that long", said Shinji as he smiled a little to the girl while sipping tea from his cup.
"Good, so Shinji-can I call you Shinji?", asked the red haired teenager as she sat down on her desk, her friend Akeno offering her a cup of tea.
The teenager just shrugged, "Yeah sure, we're on the same team now so no problem I guess".
"Okay then Shinji. I wanted to ask you something first, do you know about the three races depicted in the Bible?".
Shinji thought about this one, he rubbed a hand on his chin while thinking "Hmmm, one of my friends used to lecture me on this one. There are the devils, angels and….what was the other again…?"
"They would be the 'fallen angels', Kouki-kun", commented Akeno while standing beside her king.
"Yes, you see Shinji, the devils would be the ones you read of being deformed monsters with big, pointy horns that haunt human souls and lust on women".
"...you're not like that, are you?", the kid cautiously asked.
"Fufufufu, fear not. Although there were once devils that matched their evil actions with their appearance, we evolved as a society and thus, changed our way of living", Rias assured him. "The second group are the angels. They are the 'sons of God', so to say, they focus mainly on spreading His will and grace. They have the Church as their army, they are the ones responsible when it comes to eliminate heretics and forming new believers"
"So they have an army with them, huh. Pretty neet", commented the teenager as he listened to the red haired girl.
"Yes. Last but not least, there are the fallen angels, as the name implies they are angels of Heaven that fell, because of this they are unable to carry His will any longer. But they still have a hold of holy elements, such as light".
"So they basically betrayed their kin? Where are they now if they can't return home?", asked Shinji.
"We are getting to that, you see, after the fallen angels found out God banned them from Heaven, they went to the Underworld, or Hell as humans know it, to establish their cities. The devils were already living there when they were pushed back from their territory because of these beings, so we've been in constant war since ancient times, devils fighting fallen angels and angels using this chance to eradicate both their enemies. This cycle went for ages until a Great War was ignited, the Three Factions going at each others neck until they were left completely devastated"
"Really? And who won in the end?", the teenager was starting to like this history lesson, armies, wars and more! This was the type of history he likes.
"No one, in the midst of the war the Three Factions agreed on a cease fire. This war led to the death of the old Satan's, downfall of the vast majority of the 72 Devil Pillars, death of thousands of angels, fallen and much more".
"You see Shinji-", Rias spoke again when the teenager didn't ask anything else, "-We devils, even though we have a longer lifespan than humans, are unable to successfully mate with another of the opposite sex and give birth to a child most of the times, even the sight of a new pure-blooded devil is rare these days. Because of this, in contrast to the fallen angels that pick heretics and fugitives from the other factions under their wings or the angels that have the Church constantly reinforcing them, we are getting behind in numbers".
"That's where this plays comes in play", said the red haired teenager as she grabbed an Evil Piece "One of our current Maous, Ajuka, invented these chess pieces for us High-Class devils to reincarnate other species into our kin, forming a peerage with them and grow our numbers again to compete with the other factions".
"So….this is my role here?", asked the teenager while pointing to himself.
"Exactly, while it's true I reincarnated you to be a part of my peerage, I also did it to spare the life you wasted on me Shinji. Even if it had nothing to do with you, you jumped to the unknown to save my life and, for that, I'm truly thankful", the red haired teenager gave Shinji a smile of gratefulness combined with her eyes softening while glaring at him. He was noticing how beautiful she really is in this state.
"Hehehe, It-it's really not that big of a deal Gremory-san, don't worry", the kid looked away while blushing a little and scratching the back of his head.
"I beg to differ on that", she said as she closed her eyes, the smile not leaving her face, "Anyway, we are getting out of topic, because of being a newly minted devil, you are a Low-Class reincarnated one".
"So, I'm stuck as a Low-Class forever? Man, what a drag", commented the teenager as he looked disappointed by that.
"Quite contrary Shinji, you see, even though you are a Low-Class now, you can make your way to the top and achieve the rank of High-Class devil and, with it, be able to form your own peerage. Be it one full of beautiful women or the strongest warriors, you'll have the power to turn those who you seek capable of into one member of your personal peerage ".
"Turn those who I seek capable into my peerage, huh….", the teenager thought this question out loud, "Nah, I think I'll pass on that. I don't really care about making someone my personal slave or something".
The group in front of him gasped at his declaration, Rias, who was the one he was talking to, seemed hurted and shocked about the way the black hair teen saw the Evil Piece system the most.
"Although-", Shinji continued "-you got me on the part of climbing to the top. So I gotta prove myself in front of others or something?", he was curious 'Man I can't wait if that is true, maybe I'll be able to use those sick moves Hagiwara-san teaches me!', he thought as excitement rushed through his head.
"In a way yes, in others no",said Rias as she got back to the topic, "You see Shinji, we devils are known for our way to make contracts with humans, through these contracts we obtain most of our wealth and strength ".
"And how do you make these contracts?", asked the teenager.
"With this", Rias extended her hand, she grabbed one paper that appeared from thin air, said paper had words written on it with a seal in the middle. "This is a Summoning Circle. Through this humans are capable of summoning us to fulfill their wishes, also the more contracts you successfully complete, the more powerful you'll become and the closer you'll be to become a High-Class devil".
"Let me show you an example ", said Rias while looking at him. " As I told you before, I can't repay the favor you did, so let me show you my gratitude by accomplishing your wish. So tell me, what is it that you desire? If it's in my grasp, I will fulfill it".
'Wha-really!?', Shinji was taken back by this. Anything that he desired!? 'Okay now, if she's a devil, and I can ask for anything, what do I want? Something….something….think of something…..! That's right!'.
"Well, I've been trying to get a driving license but...you know...I'm seventeen and all that…", he simply said, if she can grant anything, then this must be easy. He really wanted a driving license for quite a while, too many racing games went to his head.
"Eh? Ye-yeah, no problem", said Rias, taken back as she looked disappointed at him. "I thought you would ask for something more complex to be honest".
"Yeah, I thought you would say tha-wait, what!?", the teenager was surprised by this. That's easy? Giving a driving license to an under age is that easy!? The hell is 'complex' for her then!?
"Yes, this is quite easy, I might need to call my father and pull a few strings here and there, but I will accomplish your wish, Shinji", the red haired girl assured him."Although I expect of you to at least make one successful contract, you'll have your license after it as a token for a job well done".
"Cool!", the teenager exclaimed. "So when do I begin with these contracts?".
"Right now if you so desire", as the red haired girl said these words, two red circles appeared next to Shinji. Two big piles of paper came out from them.
"What's this?", he asked while pointing to the mountains of paper next to him, piled up almost matching his height.
"Why, you see. We devils make contracts with humans, yes. But we also need to deliver them these Summoning papers for them to use. As you got so excited just now I thought 'why not let him deliver them to our potential clients'?", said Rias as a smile decorated her face, the black hair teen started to know what she meant when said smile showed up.
"Ahahaha, yes-no", Shinji said while scratching the back of his head. "While I would like to help you with this one Gremory-san, I need to go to work you see, I'm running kinda late as it is".
"Oh but don't worry about that Shinji, you can use the bicycle we have in our club", said the girl while pointing to the window, outside laying a bicycle under a porch.
"Yeah, well. My job is on the outskirts of the city, it will take some time and I don't know if I'll finish in time for me to be punctual at my work", Shinji responded fast, trying to free himself from this predicament.
"Then you better start now, Shinji-kun", said Rias as she closed her eyes while smiling at the teenager, the latter just staring at her.
.
.
There was a short silence between them.
"There's no getting through you, is it?", Shinji asked.
"Sadly for you, no", responded Rias while smiling.
And just like that, his peaceful day got much worse.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap…!", to say Shinji was going fast is little, he was cycling like in a race. "Damn it! If that girl wasn't so talkative I would be on time!".
He had a hard time delivering the Summoning Circles to people, first he was doing it while standing on a plaza nearby, then when half an hour passed and no one picked even one single flier he gave up and started to throw them to the mailbox in each house to the way to Hirotaku's dojo. In the last house he almost rolled over a girl, said girl started to apologize to him time and time again even though he said it was okay. He managed to hand her a flier which she gladly accepted.
"Ahh! Screw it! We're taking the shortcut!", he screamed as he jumped, avoiding obstacles and going down like on a downhill race.
Having passed the highway separating the center of Kuoh from the residence area in the outskirts of the city was Hagiwara's dojo, the old man was currently cleaning the front of said dojo.
"Ah, Shinji-kun. Looks like you took your time today", said Hirotaku as he watched the teenager approach while walking next to the bike.
"Yeah, sorry Hagiwara-san, I got caught up on a favor a friend asked", he said while scratching his head. 'If he fires me, you'll pay for it, Gremory', he thought while a tick mark appeared on his head.
"Don't worry about it Shinj, we all have days we arrive late to one place or another, besides, you only came 5 minutes late", said the master of martial arts to reassure the kid.
While the teenager passed by Hirotaku to leave the bicycle and start with his job, a flier from the bag he was carrying fell. The old man caught this and kneeled to pick it up, his eyes narrowing while looking at it.
"Uhh, Hagiwara-san, is there a problem?", asked Shinji as he turned around to see Hirotaku with a pensive expression while watching a piece of paper.
"Hmm? No, nothing. Don't worry about it", said the man as he got out of the trance he was. "You dropped this", he continued as he approached the black haired teen and returned him the paper that fell from his bag.
"Ah, ye-yeah", the boy responded while grabbing the object from Hagiwara, "thanks".
"Say Shinji, you still have the pendant I gave you? ", asked his sensei.
"No", said the teen while looking down, "I got caught up on something and lost it", he scratched his head, "Sorry".
"Don't worry about it, it was an old relic and I had it collecting dust anyway", assured the old man.
As the pair were having a small conversation, Hagiwara's attention was fixated on the basket the bicycle had and the several papers lying on it. Narrowing his eyes to catch a good glimpse of the crest printed on them.
'So, this is your fate's route, Shinji. I hope it's not the wrong one', thought Hagiwara as they entered the dojo. 'What will you do from now on?'.
"Okay see you tomorrow Hagiwara-san!", said Shinji as he opened the front door of the dojo, it was getting late and the night had already set on Kuoh, the street lights decorating the surroundings as the kid left his work.
"Man what a day, can't wait to hit the bed and catch some Z's", said the teenager as he yawned. He had a big day to say the least, he learned the devil's history, learned about the Three Factions and the Great War and also delivered those papers Rias forced him before going to work. Overall he was exhausted.
Suddenly a phone started to ring as a familiar melody catched his ears. The teenager picked up his phone from his pocket, there was an unknown number calling him. "Must be a company offering something", he said as he paid no mind to the call and let it hang up.
Only for the phone to ring again.
'Man these guys are tiresome', thought the black haired teen as he let the phone hang up, again.
Only for the phone to ring, again.
Giving up, he picked the phone from his pocket and answered the call, "Hello?".
"Hey, Shinji? Is that you?", said an unknown feminine voice from the other side.
"Uh...yes, who is speaking?", asked the teenager, uncertain of who it was.
"Good, this is Rias. I thought I had the wrong phone number since I called two times earlier and no one picked up"
"Hehehe really? I wonder why", he said as he rubbed the back of his head and laughed sheepishly. "Anyway, what's up Gremory-san?".
"You see, remember those flyers I asked you to deliver earlier? Looks like someone is using it now and decided to make a contract", even if he couldn't see her, he knew somehow a smile was forming on her lips.
"So, you see-"
No.
"-I would be really grateful-"
Nope.
"-that you-".
Not happening.
"-would take this contract".
'I knew it!', thought the teenager as a tick mark appeared on his head, this girl only talks to him lately to ask favors! "Sorry Gremory-san, I'm just returning from work and because of handing out fliers today I couldn't catch up with my homework, I need to write an essay for next week you see, so sorry".
"C'mon Shinji, pretty please! I ask you this little favor! Akeno and the others have already left to accomplish other contracts and I'm stuck in school finishing papers!", Rias pleaded, from the other side of the phone Shinji could imagine her pouting while making doggy eyes.
He sighed, hard. "Okay, but you owe me for this one".
"Yeah, don't worry about it", Rias gladly exclaimed, "Thanks Shinji! I'll be sure to help you with your essay later".
"Yeah, yeah. Don't mention it", said the teenager as he stopped walking, standing next to a light pole. "So, where is this client?".
"Pretty close to you to be honest, just a few blocks ahead", responded the red haired girl from the other side of the phone.
"Oh, good. I thought I had to-wait, how do you know where I am!?", the teenager was shocked. How did she know where he was!? Did she put a GPS inside his clothes or something last night!?
"Oh, you know, a lady has her ways~", teased the girl.
"...I'm one step closer to placing a restraining order on you"
"What?"
"Nothing, nothing", the teenager just waved it off. "Anyway, where's this 'client' of yours".
"Just a couple of blocks ahead of you, I'll send you the place now. Thanks again Shinji!", said the girl before she hung up.
"Okay, don't worry", also said the teenager as he hung up his phone. "Alright let's see where this place is-oh wow that really is close", exclaimed the teenager as he looked at the message Rias sent him.
Even if he had a potential stalker for a friend now, at least she knew to give him directions to the clients places.
"Okay...I should start crossing the street and see if I find the place", thought Shinji out loud as he started to walk to the place Rias asked him.
Little did he know who the person was.
"1201….1203...1205...here! 1207!" Although it took him some time to find the house he was looking for, he followed the directions Rias sent him and found it.
It was an apartment, unlike his, this one was a little bit bigger. Looking from the outside you couldn't say much about it.
"Okay, c'mon Shinji, first client. Be polite, ask for what favors they need, fulfill it and be on your way", a smile appeared on his face "Then I'll have that driving license! Oh yeah! Can't wait to have my very first car! I'll buy an RX7 or somethin'!", chirped the teenager as he fist pumped the air. He calmed himself down and rang the doorbell.
"Coming", said a voice from the other side of the door.
As the door opened a woman came from the other side, to say she was beautiful was nothing. She had raven dark hair falling down to her hips, every part of her body was shaped the right way, said woman looked like she was in her twenties. She's wearing a black top with jeans, nothing covering her feet.
"Yes? What can I help you with?", she asked while standing in front of the black haired teen.
"Y-yes", he said while he stopped looking at the woman, "I'm here to fulfill the wish you asked ma'am. I'm the devil coming to your contract ".
"Oh? It's the first time I see a devil ringing a doorbell instead of appearing out of a magic circle. Have they run out of budget already?", she joked while looking at a paralyzed teenager.
"I was close to your apartment and dropped by with my bike", said the teenager while laughing awkwardly and pointing to the bicycle standing outside.
"Is that so?, she said while looking at the teenager. "Anyway, come in. We'll talk inside of what you will do for me, devil".
"Uhh sure, okay", said Shinji as he entered the house of his client.
The apartment was bigger than his, every room, in contrast to the one he was living in, was separated by a door from the living room, the kitchen was on a corner also separated by a glass door from the rest. The white walls were decorated by a pink curtain and wooden floor. Overall, it was comfy.
"Sorry if it is small, it's just a temporary place for me and my group to crash in", said the woman as she guided the teen inside.
"Don't worry about that, it's bigger than my place already", the teenager responded, although he was sad it was actually true.
"So...what's your job for me ma'am?", asked Shinji as he watched the girl putting on some shoes.
"I was just bored and a lady in the streets gave me this-" she grabbed a flier "-So I thought 'why not?', and now you're here", simply said the woman as she stood up.
'What a reason to make a pact with a devil', thought the teenager as he smiled awkwardly while watching the girl."So, we are gonna just chill and watch Netflix or something?"
"No, we'll just go outside and roam around the city. I'm new here, you see", said the woman as she approached the black haired teen and grabbed his hand. "So, come along now, that's my job for you".
"Okaay, if that's your job. Lets do it ma'am, I know a few places here", said Shinji as he was dragged out of the house. 'Man, this will be much easier than what I thought', crossed the teenager's mind.
"Don't call me 'ma'am, devil. You make me look older than what I am", said the raven haired girl. "The name's Amano Yuuma, but just call me Yuuma".
And so began the first contract Shinji Kouki will have as a devil..
"Anyway devil, what's your name? I don't think you like me calling you 'devil' everywhere we go", said Yuuma as the couple was strolling down the center of Kuoh.
It was night time already, the people roaming around the place were either getting out of their job or just going to a bar or other place. There were also a lot of couples walking next to them.
*Huh? Oh yeah, the name's Shinji Kouki, sorry for not introducing myself before", said the teenager as he scratched the back of his head.
"Kouki, eh? Alright Kouki-kun, let's go to the cinema, I would like to watch a movie", said the girl as she grabbed the teenager's hand and dragged him around.
"Hmmm….what to watch, what to watch….", murmured the raven haired girl as she watched the movie posters carefully, scanning for something good to see.
As the teenager started to look around, he noticed several people watching Yuuma, some of them even ogling her. He paid a second look to his client. She was beautiful, no doubt about it, she gave a feeling of something mysterious but he didn't know what it was, her violet eyes were something he never saw before, well, even Rias's hair is something he never saw before. But this girl was different, there was a small voice in his head telling him she's dangerous, he needs to go away.
'Nah, it can't be', he thought while staring at her, 'She can't be harmful, she doesn't look like someone that would stab you just because of it'.
As he said that a certain brown haired teen had a chill run down his spine.
"Oh! This one might work", said the raven haired woman as she turned her head to his companion, "What do you think about this eh, 'Galactic Wars: The Darkness Strikes Back'?".
She was pointing to a poster, said poster had what looked like a guy with some spaceships behind while holding a sword of some sorts.
"Good for me I guess, they say it's a good one", he said while shrugging, 'Seriously now, she makes a pact with a devil, let me repeat that, makes a pact with a devil only to go and watch a movie!?'.
As they went to buy tickets to the movie, Shinji pulled the wallet out of his pocket. This seems to have caught Yuuma's attention as she laughed while watching him.
"My, my. Aren't you a gentleman", she spoke while standing in front of him. "While the thought is quite nice of you, I made the contract you see, I'll pay this time Kouki-kun. Maybe next time I'll let you invite me somewhere".
"Anyway, here. Let's see if we can find empty seats", said Yuuma while grabbing the teenager's hand, dragging him inside the cinema.
Shinji knew somehow this was just getting started.
"I can't believe Darth Blaster was Michael's father!", exclaimed a shocked Yuuma as the pair got out of the cinema. "You know how hard it was for the guy to fight all that!? Only to find that his father is the evil guy!? God, these movie are dramatic".
The movie was good, the raven haired girl got excited each time the guys grabbed their light swords and started to fight each other, also she shouted 'evil scum!' each time Darth appeared. There was a time when the people started to turn around and stare at the couple, the teenager covered his head between his hands and pretended he didn't know his client.
'Talk about getting worked up because of a movie', he sighed. Although he was having somewhat of a good time with the girl, the feeling of being in danger returned each time he stared at her or vice versa.
"-so, what do you think about that, huh?", he started to listen to the woman again, she was talking about something but he wasn't listening, she asked something and was now waiting for an answer.
"I-err, yeah, that's true", said Shinji as an attempt to answer the question correctly.
"I know right! They have to face each other again. Gosh I hate hangovers!"
They were now walking to Yuuma's apartment. With the movie over his mission was complete and the contract was fulfilled.
"Okay Kouki-kun, this will be all for today", said the raven haired woman as she stopped in front of her apartment, she turned around and looked at the teenager. "It was relaxing to spend some time with someone, even if it was a devil".
"Yeah, after this messy week I needed to go out and vent some frustration", replied the black haired teen. Even if it was a client, he wanted to walk a little and clear his mind of the devil stuff and school, this was quite relaxing for him.
"Okay, 'till next time, Kouki-kun. I may need some company while I'm in this town", said Yuuma as she closed the door of her house, leaving the teenager alone.
"Okay, it's done. Time to go home", said Shinji as he hop on his bike and started to pedal back to his apartment, 'please, no more surprises for today'.
He grabbed his phone, searched for Rias's contact and typed 'Done', a quick response came with 'Nice Shinji!'.
And as the moon shone down over the streets of Kuoh, Shinji Kouki accomplished his first contract.
Author's Note
And Chapter 2 is done!
Sorry for the delay, I tried to put the objective of one chapter a week, clearly the idea didn't work because of life and whatnot.
So, as always, please read and review! And see you next time.
