Hey guys, Shinji Kouki here, I can't believe I was able to upload the prologue, it literally took me one week to decide whether to do it or not.

Also it was followed a lot too! Thanks a lot man, I thought I was going to get stormed by a bunch of negative comments, guess this was a good idea after all.

Anyway let's go to Chapter 1, shall we?

Chapter 1: A Devil!? The New Beginning Of Shinji Kouki!

Darkness.

Extreme darkness.

Darkness enough to cloud one's vision.

Darkness enough to cloud one's soul.

Shinji Kouki was dead, or so he thought. He was impaled by a snake looking woman after all, he found it hard to be able and survive that.

Don't get him wrong, he wants to live, he really wants to. There's nothing he enjoys more than waking up and going to school, going to Higawara's dojo to help the old man and also learning some sick martial arts moves in return. He also liked walking to school with his friend Issei, even though every time they enter the school the whole world seems to glare at them while screaming 'Perverts! Leech!' time and time again.

More than anything he likes being with Momo, she is one of his best friends.

'Momo….' Shinji thought while his eyes started to glare at the sky, or what he thought was the sky. 'I messed up again, didn't I? I guess you're going to scold me again.' Joked the black haired teen as he smiled a little.

Every time Momo told him to be careful and don't do anything stupid, he did, he did on a constant basis only to end up horribly bad in the end. Then the normal routine of him getting scolded by said white haired girl took place, it wasn't something out of place to see in school the image of him bowing while constantly saying 'I'm sorry! I'm sorry!' to his friend.

Why did he do all that? He doesn't know, most of the time was to help his friend, Issei, with a favor he asked him, only to later find out it's one of his perverted antics and get caught up in the middle.

'Issei…' Shinji thought with a deadpan, his perverted friend. He and Issei met way back, his friend's parents one day asked the kid to befriend someone in the neighborhood they moved into, turns out the one he spoke with was none other than Shinji. The black hair kid was playing football and asked Issei if he wanted to join him, the latter responded enthusiastically with a 'Yes!'.

They became best friends from that day, meeting almost every day to play outside or just in one of their houses.

They also started to play with another kid of their neighborhood, a tomboyish girl named Irina. Even though Issei thought the girl was, in fact, a boy, Shinji found out the hard way as he one day walked to the bathroom and saw the little girl naked, the latter proceeding to scream and throw the closest thing she had, the soap bar, making a perfect headshot and knocking out the kid.

He keeps texting the girl from time to time, she moved from Japan to Italy because of his father's work. They lost contact with her but one day in Middle School he received a message from a girl claiming to be Irina, he doesn't know how she got his number.

'So ...this is it, huh. Damn, I thought my death would be more epic or something, not getting pierced by the tail of a freak….' Thought Shinji as he stared at the nothingness he was at the moment, he started to close his eyes, he felt really tired.

He wanted to fight back the urge to sleep, but his body wasn't responding to him. Sleeping was so tempting at the moment and the atmosphere the place gave wasn't helping. He felt his head rest in this world, he slowly breath in and out, his mind calm again as he-

"That's your limit? I was expecting more from you to be honest."

'Huh?' His eyes snapped open again, that voice, he heard it somewhere before, before he found himself in this place.

"Guess I was wrong about you."

There it was again, what was that? Suddenly he was blinded by a dim light on the horizon of the dark world. His eyes accommodated to the light as he started to get close to it.

"Who are you?" Shinji asked when he thought he was close enough to speak to the thing and be heard.

"I'm just a passerby, I thought I would pay a visit to the one that's been emitting an odd aura lately, but I guess I was wrong in the end. You are nothing special."

"Special? What do you mean with-" Shinji stopped speaking as he felt the world he was in started to shake, "The hell was that!?".

"Hmm ...looks like our meeting won't be for a long time." Said the voice as it looked like it realized what was happening.

Again, the world shook, the darkness started to crack as crimson light started to engulf his vision, the teenager panicked at first but then the voice spoke again.

"I guess you are somewhat different if this happens hmm? Fear not youngling, we'll meet again and the next time we will have more time to talk."

"Huh? Wait!-agh!" Shinji's attempt to stop the thing talking to him stopped, he felt a burning sensation on his chest. "The hell's going on!?" He shouted as he crouched on the floor, what's happening to him!? He felt his body burn little by little until the world changed to that of fire.

"What the-" He was interrupted as a burst of fire was heading in his direction, he couldn't move, his body wasn't responding. There was no way of him being able to evade it. "Shit!" He shouted, the burst directed at him with fast pace.

"Aagh!" A teenager shouted with all his might as he rose from his bed, he was a mess of sweat, his breathing heavy as he adjusted to the place that surrounded him. "A dream?" He thought as he watched his palm, his eyes widened when he realized what happened yesterday, he quickly took off the shirt he was wearing and looked to his chest. There was nothing.

"So...it was a dream after all…" The kid sighed. What a bad way to start the day, a dream of him dying, going to a dark place and meeting a weird thing. He closed his eyes as he tried to normalize his heartbeat and breath. "I need a bath.'' Said Shinji Kouki as he took off the blanket covering him and proceeded to the bathroom.

Little did he know there was a figure lying next to him on the bed.

Shinji's morning routine was the same as always, turn on the TV, take off his clothes, take a shower, brush his teeth, change into his uniform and then have breakfast before leaving for school.

He was getting out of the bathroom when he spotted his uniform, it was clean and placed on the table situated in the living room. 'Weird, I don't remember leaving it there.' The teenager said but paid no mind as he unwrapped the towel on his waist and proceeded to change into his school outfit.

As he changed he went to the kitchen and prepared some coffee. He loved that thing, was the best to wake you up after a good sleep, more helpful after dreaming a weird ass dream of death and whatnot, it's also a quick way to eat breakfast when you wake up late. Being a lazy ass never got him time to prepare rice or anything else.

He doesn't know what it was, but something on the TV caught his attention, they were talking about the Midnight Murderer, the guy appeared on Kuoh two months ago and started to commit serious crimes against the residents of the town, it was an enigma who he was since it never left witnesses who saw him.

"Wait a minute." Shinji said as he saw the news channel, they were talking about a new victim of said delinquent. He turned the volume higher and listened to the narrator.

"... The rise of crimes in Kuoh has been at its peak as of lately, this time another victim was found, her name was Haruono Ayase, she was found dead on an alleyway located near Kanjaki Avenue. Police are investigating if this has any connections to the Midnight Murderer case as this is the fourth murder in this month. The teenager was wearing the Fukuoka Daiichi High School uniform when she was found, the parents are-"

"Huh?" When the news reporter said the girl's name, a photo of her appeared on the screen, Shinji stopped listening as he was concentrating on said girl. 'Have I met her before? No, it can't be. I don't speak with anyone from Fukuoka.' He thought as he tried to remember something, she looked too familiar to him.

"Don't worry, I won't lay anything of you go to wassste."

'Tch!' Shinji felt a pain ran through his head, as if something he had forgotten had returned to his memory. "That...that thing…?" He said as he watched the TV again, his eyes widened in realization.

That alley, it was the one where he found the girl. Where he jumped to save another person. Where he was pierced by the snake woman.

Where he died.

"No…" He whispered as he remembered everything, "It can't be ...but then...how…?" He unconsciously touched the place where the tail pierced him with his hand.

His brain was thinking every type of way he survived that, but none of them ended with him sleeping on his bed without a scratch. If by a divine miracle he survived that he was supposed to be on a hospital bed for a couple of months, the thing pierced him dammit!

He watched the clock on his wall, it was starting to get late and Momo won't be happy with him if she found out he was late again.

'I'll think about this on the way to school.' He thought as he returned to his bedroom to pick his bag, he was going out and then think abou-

"Hmmm ...good morning." Said a woman that was now sitting on his bed, said woman was dressed with nothing other than her birth clothes, letting her voluptuous body to be only covered by the bed sheets.

She's a beautiful girl with silk like skin and, contrary to Momo, this girl was smooth to the point of being unreal. Her long, red hair dropped from her head to her waist, she had bluish eyes that she was rubbing now, probably because of just waking up and had a body that would put the best models of the world to shame. But the most noticeable part of her was her bust, which bounced with every single movement she made, they were even bigger than Momo!

Overall, she was smokin' hot.

Shinji was paralyzed, he couldn't even speak as he was petrified looking at the scene in front of him, not one second he spent looking at the girl his eyes returned to her 'things' bouncing like water balloons. His cup of coffee was no longer filled since he dropped half of it into his right leg, he was burning, but couldn't react to it.

"Hmm?" The girl said as she seemed to have caught the teenagers attention. She blinked a couple of times and yawned, said girl stood up and smiled at the kid. "Hello there, I hope you don't mind me waking up here. The events of last night got me more exhausted than what I expected you see and I kind of fell asleep.'' she said while sticking out her tongue in a cute way.

Little did she know her being completely naked and leaving little to the imagination to the black haired teen was an ultimatum for him, mostly noticeable from his little nosebleed and a certain someone being happy down there.

As the boy was still not fully capable of comprehending what was going on, the red haired girl snapped her fingers in front of him. "Hello? Are you unwell? You are completely red."

Suddenly her stomach grumbled, blushing a little the girl giggled as she turned around to pick up her underwear. "Your name's Shinji Kouki, am I right? I hope you forgive my rudeness for asking, but would it be possible for me to have breakfast in your home?"

As he was still trying to process everything that just happened in less than five minutes, Shinji's entire cup fell on his leg, making the room start to have the distinctive smell of coffee. This caught the girl's attention as she turned to face the boy. "Uhhh….doesn't that hurt?"

Then Shinji Kouki did what any normal high school teenager would do when he is surprised by such events, scream like a girl and repeatedly call the other a pervert.

Not the best way to start the day if he could say something.

To say Shinji Kouki had a bad morning was an understatement, the kid couldn't believe what the girl that was walking next to him to school made of his normal morning routine, not only did she pop out of hisbed, but she also used his shower and ate breakfast in his house.

Of course, even if he was shocked by such events he cooked something for the girl, french toast and coffee was something easy to do and what he had before anyway. So when the girl finished her breakfast, they departed to school.

He knew this girl, who doesn't? Anyone on Kuoh knows about Kuoh Academy's Two Great Ladies. She was Rias Gremory, a third year student in the school he was attending. People say that she's from an extremely rich family, some say that she's the daughter of a big shot in the mafia, others that she is an idol that's studying on Kuoh. Momo just told him she was the daughter of the school advisor.

The teenager doesn't care about all of that right now, he is thinking that a random girl he never even said 'hello' to has just appeared in his house, sleeping inside his bed naked and is now walking with him like a long time friend! What the heck is happening here!? How did she know where he lived!? Worst of all, how the hell did he survive what happened last night!? He was pierced by a snake looking freak dammit! He was going to-

"You are wondering about what happened last night, aren't you?" Said the girl as she interrupted his thoughts. She was just walking with her eyes closed as the sun caressed her smooth skin. If Shinji wasn't shocked about the events of yesterday, he would admire this girl's natural beauty.

"Huh?" Said Shinji as he was interrupted by the girl. 'Did she…..did she just read my mind?' Thought the teenager as he saw the girl. "How did you-"

"You are too easy to read, Kouki-san." Interrupted Rias again as she looked at him, her bluish orbs studying the male's face as a smile drew on her face. "The troubled face you are making says it all, and besides-" She grabbed her arms and blushed as she looked to the side, "-you have to take responsibility for what you did to me, you know, last night."

"Huh?" The black haired teen was confused as to what the girl meant with that until he connected the dots of her answer. "Wait." The teenager stumbled back, his face litting up like fire. "You don't-you don't mean...y-you...you and me…!"

The girl started to giggle as she watched the scene in front of her. "Just. A. Joke." she said as she closed the distance between them and poked his forehead. "Seriously Kouki-san, you get flustered too easily. Makes the fact of teasing you more fun."

The kid grumbled as he resumed his walk to school, damn this girl! He almost had a heart attack! "Anyway." Said Shinji as he tried to change the topic, a small blush still present in his face. "What happened last night? That was not a dream, was it? The woman with that tail thing?" He asked. If she knew about the incident he was just thinking about recently, she definitely knows something.

"Who knows?" Said the girl as she looked to the side. "Maybe it was all a dream." 'There it is again, she knows what I'm thinking.' Thought Shinji as he watched the girl do a turn on the street.

"We better separate now, you know? We are getting close to school, and I don't think you want to create a ruckus." Said Rias as she watched the Kuoh Academy's main building getting close, she was right, walking with one of the Great Ladies there was just asking for trouble, he already had enough stares just now on the way to school.

"Wait." The teenager said as he stopped the girl, one arm extended to a wall and blocking her way. "You haven't responded to my question yet. I know you know something about that thing." The kid was not accepting a 'no' for an answer, he wanted to know just what was that which attacked him.

The girl just stood there, her path blocked by the same teenager whom she walked to school. She looked at him again, her smile never leaving her face. "Although I would like to chat with you more Kouki-san, we have to attend our classes."

"Don't worry about that." Shinji said as he gazed directly at her. "I have Home Economics now, and I don't mind skipping how to boil an egg." The black haired teen responded with a serious face. Even if he enjoyed a little cooking in school, he chose to pair with Issei for that class and the result was a complete failure. With Issei always ogling at girls while they are wearing an apron instead of focusing on the damn oven and Shinji just trying to look cool and make omelets do a flip in mid air to just throw them too hard and end up sticking them in the ceiling. God knows how many times they had to clean the place up.

"Quite persistent aren't you?" Said Rias as she put a hand on his shoulder. "I have Physics now and, even if I would like not to write pages and pages of formulas , I have to keep my grades up. I'm graduating, you know? I want to enter the best college I can." The girl told him as she lowered his arm, standing by his side again. "Don't worry, I'll send someone to fetch you at launch, we can talk there.'

And like that, one of the Great Ladies of Kuoh, Rias Gremory, walked past him and went to school first. He knew because of all the screams the girls made when they saw her.

And so, Shinji was once again staring at her, he tucked his hands in his pockets and grumbled. 'Tsk, I really wanted to miss Home Economics if I could. At least I tried.' Thought the kid as he followed where the red haired girl walked to enter Kuoh Academy.

Shinji sighed, he was currently at the rooftop of Kuoh Academy, he waited 10 minutes after his last class to see if Rias appears, he then went to the Third Year students floor to see if he could find her, after asking a couple of students, he gave up and went to the cafeteria to grab some food, then he climbed to his usual spot on the rooftop.

"Man, somehow I knew she would lie to me…" Said Shinji as he watched the school campus from the place he was sitting. The rooftop wasn't something big or special, but students were allowed to use it in their free time if they wanted. Because of not being crowded or just having two or three more people only, it was the black haired teen's favorite place to relax and eat his lunch.

"At least try to be punctual when you tell someone to wait, you know?" The kid complained out loud as he kept eating his lunch. Today the cafeteria had their rice and steak special, it's the students' all-time favorite and they only prepare it once each month.

"It's one of Buchou's favorite habits to make a drama out of everything." A voice behind him suddenly spoke, Shinji looked up from where he was sitting, two gold orbs staring directly at him.

"Good morning, senpai. I'm Koneko, Rias-buchou sent me to pick you up." Said the white haired little girl. She was Koneko Toujou, a first year student at Kuoh Academy. She is a petite girl with white hair, on the front of it she has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead with two cat shaped hair clips decorating it. She is wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform without the cape. The most intriguing part of her is her poker face, she is completely emotionless while staring with those gold orbs of her to the raven haired teen.

"Ah, good morning." Said Shinji as he scratched his back with his free hand while turning back to face the girl, he was starting to get uncomfortable with the way she just looked at him with that face of hers. It's not that she is ugly, it was the complete opposite of that, she emitted this aura of cuteness from her, but the way she looks at him without even blinking was weird.

The kid soon realized she wasn't even looking at him anymore, her eyes moving to another place, he tried to draw an imaginary line to where she was looking to see it was his launch, he moved the hand holding the meal slightly to see if he was right, her eyes following the movement.

For a second time he made a slow move just to make sure, the girl followed the food without missing a beat. As a part of a comedy sketch he listened to the inner evil voice inside his head, shaking from one place to another and even doing a wave movement with his food while the girl kept her eyes stuck to it without even blinking.

"Want some?" Finally asked the boy trying to break the uncomfortable silence and also having enough fun with it. "I'm pretty full now, so if you want you can have this." Offered the teenager while moving his hand with the food close to the girl.

"...really?" Asked the girl, getting closer to pick the bento.

'So the only way to make her show some sort of emotion is with food? Damn, she's even worse than me.' Thought the teenager while placing the bento on her tiny hands. "Yeah, no probs. I've eaten a lot for breakfast, so I'm pretty full here." Shinji said while smiling, the girl just said her thanks and picked the bento from his hands.

What happened next was not something Shinji was not prepared to see, the second she picked the bento, she grabbed the chopsticks he offered and, after saying 'itadakimasu', devoured the whole thing. Like literally, there must have been seconds for her to finish the rice and steak meal, it was almost full! How the hell did she do it!?

The teenager was wordless, he just stared at the girl that placed the bento on his hands and started to clean her mouth with a napkin she had. "Thanks, senpai." As all she said before returning to her motionless state.

Shinji soon recovered from his trance. "Don't mention it." He said while smiling and standing up. "So, you said Gremory-senpai sent you right?"

"Right." The petite girl responded. " I came here to pick you up, Buchou said she wants to speak with you now if possible."

"About time." Shinji sighed. "I've been waiting twenty minutes for her to show up or something." So she wasn't lying, the teenager now could ask what happened last night and, the most important part, why was she inside his bed completely naked!?

"Sorry I took so long, senpai. You were moving from one place to another and it was hard trying to catch up to you." Said the petite girl. Well, he was kind of going from his classroom, to the third floor, to the cafeteria and then ended up going to the rooftop at a fast pace.

"Yeah, sorry about it." Responded the black haired teenager while smiling in an apologetic way. "So, where are we going now?" He asked.

"To the Occult Research Club, Rias-Buchou is waiting." said Koneko plainly. Seriously, just add some emotion to your voice dammit!

The journey to the Occult Research Club was rather long, Shinji decided to kill some time talking to Koneko, the girl just answering the basic questions of 'where was the place', 'why they were there on lunch break instead of using the school's rooms'' and 'how old was she'. The other attempts of the teenager to try and talk to her were left unanswered or she just acted like she didn't listen to them.

Overall Shinji was quite uncomfortable with her.

"We are here." The voice of the little girl broke his thoughts. She wasn't lying when she told him the club was at the old school building.

This place was used when Kuoh Academy was an all-girls school, when they decided it was going to be co-ed, the building was left apart and the new school building was built. It was pretty close to the other since they used the same place to build the new one. The old school building was smaller than the new one and, contrary to the other, this one had more Japanese style architecture.

"So...you have all this place for yourself?" Asked Shinji as he was amazed by that fact.

"Yes, this place is for the members of the Occult Research Club to use as they like." Was the plain response of Koneko.

"Wow, that's pretty cool.'' Commented the teenager. The petite girl paid no mind to what he said and proceeded to open the building's front door.

The place was amazing for Shinji, wooden stairs made the perfect combination with the white walls and the red carpet that decorated the floor. If that wasn't impressive the feeling of the old but tidy and comfy the building emitted made it better in his mind.

They climbed the stairs to the first floor and turned a corner to where a big wooden door was located. "I'm back, I brought him with me." Said the white haired loli as she knocked the door two times.

"Hai hai, I'm coming." A voice responded from the other side of the door. When the door opened they were received by a girl with raven-like hair. "Ara ara, welcome back Koneko-chan. And welcome to you too, Kouki-kun, I'm Akeno Himejima, nice to meet you." The girl before them said as she made a small bow.

This girl is Akeno Himejima, the second one of the Great Ladies of Kuoh, she's a third year student like Rias, she has raven black hair that goes down to her legs, the back of it is tied by an orange ponytail. In contrast to Rias's European style of body and expressions, this woman in front of them has Asian features, in Shinji's and most of Kuoh's male student body she is the personification of Yamato Nadeshiko. The most noticeable part of her body is her ample bust, which bounces even when she's talking.

Goddammit with these chicks and all her breasts! He has control of himself but he will lose it soon enough if this keeps up!

"Ah, g-good morning Himejima-san, I'm Shinji Kouki." Said the teenager as he was getting nervous, it's not everyday you meet one of the Great Ladies, you know?

"Why don't you come in? Rias is taking a shower now but you can wait until she finishes." Said Akeno as she opened the door to let them in.

The room was big, the wooden walls and floor made the place look like it was taken out of an old photograph, two big leather couches were placed opposite of each other, and a red carpet was placed in the middle, decorating it. There were several signs and patterns scattered throughout the place.

'Yeah, this definitely feels like an occult club', thought the teenager as he watched the place. There was another person there, he was drinking from a cup while sitting in one of the couches.

"Ah, so you arrived, Shinji-san. Nice to meet you, I'm Kiba Yuuto. Hope we get along." Said the teen as he stood up and bowed to Shinji.

This guy is Kiba Yuuto, he is what the girls of Kuoh call 'Prince Charming', he has blonde hair and blue eyes. Just like Rias, the teenager had European features like a foreign accent, he's wearing the Kuoh Academy boys' uniform. What caught Shinji's attention the most was a little mole that decorated the kid's left cheek.

"Hey Kiba-san, it's good to meet you too." Said the black haired teen as he waved at the blonde kid in front of him. "Wait, you said she was taking a shower?" Asked Shinji as he glanced at Akeno who was filling a cup of tea set on a tray.

"Yes, we have a shower in our club for personal use, she likes to use it during launch breaks." The raven haired girl spoke while offering the teen in front of her a cup of tea, the latter accepting it and offering his thanks.

It's not that Shinji minded a girl bathing. It's the fact that she made him wait since the morning to talk with her! And now she just goes and takes a bath!? Can't it wait until they finish talking!?

"Ahhh, that felt good." Said a voice as a door opened, there stood a girl drying her hair with a towel while dressed in the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform.

"Sorry to keep you waiting Kouki-san, I was going to take a bath after speaking with you, but seeing you were late I just sped things up." Said Rias as she set the towel she was using on a dresser, then proceeded to sit down on a big chair, her hands on a desk located in the middle of the room. Her blue orbs scanned his face, as she accepted a cup of tea her companion, Akeno, offered.

"First off, I would like to welcome you to the Occult Research Club, Kouki-san, I hope we can get along from now on." Said Rias as she smiled at the teenager, her hand extended to him.

"Huh? Wha-no, thanks for the offer Gremory-san, but I have a job after school, can't keep myself stuck in a club. Gotta pay the bills, you know?" Said Shinji as he declined her offer the best he could, he came here for an explanation, not joining her damn club!

"What I came here for is an explanation." Said the black hair teenager as he changed the topic to what he wanted.

"Hmm? Explanation of what may I ask?" Said the girl in front of him. Shinji just couldn't believe this, is she seriously asking that question now!?

"Well, I just want an explanation for: 'A' what happened last night and 'B' what were you doing on my bed!?" Shouted the teenager. All the reactions he had to his outburst was Rias looking at him, Akeno just using a hand to cover her mouth while saying 'ara ara', Kiba smiling awkwardly and Koneko just eating candy like she didn't even care.

"Ara ara Buchou, looks like someone didn't like your 'special' time with them." Joked the raven haired girl while speaking to her friend.

"Seems like so." Said Rias as she looked hurt by her friend's comment, "Although his reaction was something worth it".

"What does that even-", Shinji sighed. "Look, just please can you tell me at least what happened last night? I've had a long day and that bad dream was all that started this." He just wanted to get this over with.

"Sadly Kouki-san, that wasn't a dream. What you saw on that alleyway was as real as you and me." Rias spoke again, long gone was her joking mood, she stared at the teenager with a serious face.

"Then...does that mean-that girl on the news. Was she-" His mind traveled to what he saw on his TV that morning, the image of that girl, the scene of the alleyway.

His death.

'No...it can't be…!' He thought.

"Then how...how am I still alive if all that happened?" He asked again, trying to recompose himself from the information he just received.

"Because of this." The red haired girl said, she was now holding a chess piece, although it seemed different from the ones he knew, a dark red color and some odd aura was emitting from it. "This is a Devil Piece, when you died that day I used one of these pieces to revive you."

"Devil piece? What does that mean? How was I revived with that?" Too many questions ran through his head, the more answers he got, the more questions started to pop up.

"As the name implies, Devil Pieces are used by devils to turn someone into their kin-" She explained, "-As I told you before, when you died I used these to revive you, and thus, making you a devil, just like all of us."

At this moment Rias stood up, as by command the rest of the members of the club did the same, the next thing that happened was not something he would call real. Wings sprouted from their backs, first from the red haired teen, then one by one it occurred to the rest, jet black wings, darker than midnight, they extended a little farther from their bodies and had pointy ends.

'The ...hell…? The hell she's talking about..!?' Shinji was wordless, he couldn't speak until what she said earlier settled in. "Wait, you said I'm one of you now, so that means-"

"Exactly." Rias finished for him. " You are a devil now, why don't you see your back and find out?"

He didn't want to, he wished it was all a lie, that she was acting everything. Slowly, he did as she said and looked behind him-

.

.

.

-Only to see there was nothing.

"Ara ara, what a shocking turn of events." Said Akeno as she watched the scene in front of her.

"Yes, how can he keep his wings from appearing? Is he not fully mature yet? No, that's not it." Said Rias while having a pensive expression.

Shinji sighed, he felt something out of his mind. 'So it was all acting huh? Thank goodness.' He thought as he watched the others in the room.

"Well, you got me there for a minute, Gremory-senpai." The teenager said. "I gotta admit, nice effects you did there. So, what was it? CGI? Makeup? Who played the role of the snake woman? Gotta give you kudos for that! She scared the hell out of me there." Said Shinji while smiling at the group, the others couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

"I can't believe this…" Rias said, it's the first time something like this has happened to her. Her new servant somehow not showing his wings and now calling her a liar! And worse of all, he even said she was using CGI! How could he!?

"Although-" Shinji spoke again, "-I gotta ask, how did you make that hole in my chest look so real and was it really necessary to sleep in my bed!?"

"Eh?" The girl reacted as she was caught off guard. "But it was real! You died like two minutes after that! And that healing session was necessary you know! Be more grateful!" She replied while her cheeks got redder from the embarrassment of being called a liar.

The teenager sighed as he chuckled. "Well, let's say I believe you. Can I throw fire out of my hands or some weird power?"

"That's right! Now that you are a devil you should be able to manifest your new powers! Do it!" Exclaimed the devil girl as she commanded the teenager. "Now, think of something powerful, try to manifest it in your hand." The Gremory girl grabbed his right hand and tried to make him do something, anything to prove he's a devil.

"Something powerful…." Shinji was thinking. 'I must think of something powerful, huh?' It was a hard thing to do, then he remembered watching an anime of a blonde guy making a wind sphere ball out of thin air.

"I think I got it." The teenager focused all his strength in his right hand, his face serious as he felt a surge of power emanating, his arm feeling stronger, his eyes catching something on his right hand. Rias's eyes widen while she was watching something move on his hand-

-Only to see there was a small bug on his palm.

"Guess there's no use." Said Shinji while laughing awkwardly and scratching the back of his head.

"I think you probably made a mistake in the ritual, Buchou." Said Kiba as he deadpanned at the scene in front of him.

"... Buchou failed." Commented Koneko.

"Ara ara, we have a problem on our hands." Said Akeno while she had a hand covering her mouth.

"Shut it you all, I made no mistakes!" Said Rias blushing while making a 'humph!' sound while crossing her arms, this caused her raven hair friend to giggle in response.

"Anyway Buchou, if he's a devil, shouldn't he be able to see in the dark and have other devil attributes?" Said Kiba as he added his two cents to the problem.

"Th-that's right!" Said the red haired teen as a new idea popped into her head. "Koneko! turn off the lights!"

"Hai, Buchou." Was the petite girl's response. While she was walking past Shinji, she lowered the curtains of the windows and proceeded to turn off the lights.

Shinji couldn't believe it. It was clear, his eyes were now watching the people in front of him, even though they were completely dark, he could see like a sunny day, every detail, every aspect of the room, their faces, uniforms, even the wings from their backs were visible.

"No…." He whispered. "...it can't be…." He walked backwards, his back touching the wall.

"So, you believe me now?" Asked Rias with a smile, proud that she finally proves her point. "That I revived you as a devil last ni-"

"AHHHH HOLY SHIT I'M A DEVIL!" Interrupted the teenager as he started to panic. His hands were shaking as he was running in circles while screaming.

None of the Occult Research Club members were prepared for the scene in front of them, all watched their new comrade freaking out while sharing a deadpan expression.

And thus, Shinji Kouki was now a reincarnated devil.

Author's Note

Yeah! Another chapter finished! I was running multiple scenarios in my head on how to make Shinji a devil and I thought this one was the most appropriate.

One of my readers said it was boring to always have these fics having the guy being reincarnated. Although I agree with him it's rather cliché to have the same outcome I honestly didn't have another way to develop him while being human, I tried imagining him in the church, Grigori, or even in the hero faction but they all left me with a bland character that ultimately had a dead end while using the storyline to add him. I'll do another story where I'll try a human going into the DxD universe later and see how it goes but I honestly didn't have a clue here.

Anyway, thanks for staying with me here! And as always, please read and review! I'll try and respond to every question you have.
