Gohan had been awake for some time now, the feeling of loneliness and loss weighing heavily on him. He had been away from his family, friends, and everyone he knew for what felt like an eternity. After taking a shower, he stumbled out of the bathroom and made his way to get dressed. He found himself in the kitchen, where a full course meal had been prepared for him. A note was placed on the table with the food, which read:

"From your friend, Sirzechs Lucifer. P.S. I have heard the nearby mall is good for young people to clear their minds."

Gohan sighed to himself as he read the note. He had nothing better to do, so he decided to follow Sirzechs' idea.

After a short walk, Gohan found the mall Sirzechs had spoken about. He wandered around aimlessly until a sudden surge in power caught his attention. Arriving at the water fountain, he found a boy that wearing the same uniform he woke up yesterday in, passed out on the ground, bleeding from his chest. A female wearing the similar uniform was standing over him.

"Since death is upon you," she said, "I will gladly take you in." Black Devil wings shooting out of her back.

"From this moment forward, you will live your life for my sake," she added.

Gohan slowly approached, watching as what looked to be chess pieces flew towards the boy. "Hello, my name is Gohan," he said. "From what I have read you fix the description a devil. Would you mind explaining what's going on?"

Rias turned to face him, "I would like to know what you've done to my classmate," Gohan said.

"My name is Rias Gremory, and I am saving his life," she replied, standing between Gohan and Issei.

Gohan glanced at Issei, whose injury was gone. Sensing no hostility from Rias Gohan didn't feel like he need to act.

Rias noticed the tension dissipate and spoke up. "I'm happy to explain everything, do you mind meeting tomorrow after school?"

Gohan's eyes narrowed as he tried to understand what Rias knew about him. His gaze deepened as he waited for an explanation.

"I saw you yesterday at school and though you were cute so I asked around but you" this flustered Gohan as he does not expecting that answer.

Rias took advantage of Gohan's momentary distraction to teleport herself and Issei away.

Gohan sighed to himself, feeling frustrated that he had to wait until tomorrow to get answers from Rias. He had been wandering around the mall for hours, trying to distract himself from the questions swirling in his mind. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was stuck in limbo.

As he walked back to his temporary home, he couldn't help but think about Rias's words. "I'm happy to explain everything, do you mind meeting tomorrow after school?" she had said. But what did she know about him? And why did she seem interested in him?

Gohan decided to spend the rest of the evening reading up on devils and angels, hoping to learn more about his new friends and their world. But as he delved deeper into the books, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease creeping over him.

Wake up, bitch... Or I'll chop off your balls.

"I'm so tired...Man...This stupid thing...Gives me the weirdest dreams." Issei slam his hand on the alarm, peeking out of the blanket to look at the time.

Issei's mind was still foggy from exhaustion, and he just wanted to escape. As he turned to leave the classroom, he heard a voice behind him.

"Hello Issei, It's Gohan don't know if you remember... I was wondering if I could hang out with you," Gohan said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

Issei turned his head, his eyes wide with surprise and confusion. Who was this kid who had betrayed him by revealing his secret peeking habit?

"No one else as even spoke to me so if you don't mind" Issei frustrated with himself let go of his hatred because he couldn't let the kid suffer in this hell hole like this.

Issei found himself surrounded by his friends Matsuda and Motohama, who were grilling him about his new acquaintance Gohan.

"I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of this," Issei said, trying to deflect their attention. "Let's talk about something else."

"Like what?" Matsuda asked, leaning in.

Issei hesitated for a moment before bringing up his girlfriend Yuma. But his mention of Yuma was met with confused expressions,

Matsuda shook his head. "Naw dude, name's not ringing any bells."

"Yeah, I don't remember meeting anyone named Yuma," Motohama chimed in.

Gohan looked at Issei with concern. "Issei, are you sure you introduced her? You may have simply forgotten too."

Issei's confusion turned to shock as he checked his phone. "But that doesn't make any sense... Her email address is right here- No way...Yuma's contact information's not in my phone. What in the hell...?"

"Big boobies, twelve o'clock." yelled Matsuda

"Matsuda that is rude, you should apologies" Gohan turned his head to where the three boys were looking. "Hello Rias, sorry about Matsuda."

Rias chuckle to herself as she walk past the three stunned boys and Gohan. She glance at Issei before turning to Gohan has she passed, who arm was behind his neck, "Hello Gohan" and just continue down the stairs.

"There's just something about her, she's like a naughty, red-headed princess you know?" said Matsuda

"Seriously guys this is a school" even with Gohan's protests they continued,

"Hey, maybe you've been watching too much porn and it's making you cray-cray!" Motohama teased moving to put an arm over the shoulder of his friend.

"Look, I'm not crazy; I know what happened, okay?!" said Issei

"Relax. Just come by my place after school today and we'll hang out and watch my treasured collection-Of DVD porn!" After hearing this Gohan turned away from the group. Two passing by girls from he class match pace with him as they where passing as Gohan was leaving.

"They're so gross." "Losers." "Gohan now you have seen what they are like stay away from them cause you're cute k, k."

Three teens, Issei, Matsuda, and Motohama, sat around the TV. Matsuda exclaimed, "Ooo...! This is Momo's latest video Kaben Rider Pinky!"

Motohama spoke up, "Sure is...I had to pull some major strings." Issei's thoughts drifted away, lost in contemplation.

'Man, this is so weird,' he thought to himself. 'How could it have been a dream when the memories feel so real, like they just happened yesterday? Plus, if it never happened, where did my memories of the real two days go?'

Motohama asked, "Yo! What's wrong with you, Issei? You're a Momozono Momo fan, aren't you?"

Issei responded weakly, "Uh."

Matsuda jumped up, saying, "Hey, let's turn off the lights. It's way too bright in here. Yeah, that's way better!" Motohama nodded in agreement.

Motohama added, "I know! Dude, look at that mount!"

Issei's gaze lingered on the screen before he spoke up. "Guys, the lights are still on."

Matsuda turned to him, confusion written across his face. "Wait, what did you just say?"

Issei clarified, "I thought you were going to turn them off."

Motohama raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?"

Issei's eyes glazed over again. 'No, I'm wrong...They are off. I don't see any light... But I know I sense it...I do.'

As Issei stood up, he said, "Sorry, I'm going home."

Motohama called out after him, concern etched on his face. "Hey! What's wrong? Are you all right?"

Gohan stood in front of the clubhouse, its white walls and black roof a striking contrast. Vines crept up the sides, reaching the second-story windows. Gohan followed Kiba inside. The walk was silent, with neither boy knowing how to start a conversation or wanting to interrupt the silence.

They arrived in the seating area, where Rias sat at a desk at the top of the room. Behind her stood a stunning young woman with a voluptuous figure, long black hair, and violet eyes. Her hair was tied in a ponytail that reached down to the floor, with two strands sloping backward and secured by an orange ribbon. She wore the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, complete with black calf-length socks.

Kiba stood behind Rias, as Gohan took in everything around him. He noticed Kiba's short blond hair, bluish-gray eyes, and a mole underneath his left eye. Kiba was wearing the Kuoh Academy boys' school uniform.

Gohan's attention turned to the woman sitting in the chair, a young woman with light skin, blue eyes, and a curvaceous figure. Her most striking feature was her long, crimson hair that reached down to her thighs. An ahoge protruded from the top of her head, and loose bangs framed her face.

Rias spoke up "Thank you for coming promptly and without hesitation, Gohan."

Gohan turned to Rias and said "Thank you for sending someone to get me; I would have never made it here myself and thank you for having someone guide me here." He paused before finishing his sentence with a nod towards Kiba "Thank you."

"I think we should start with introducing my two friends here," Rias said, motioning to Kiba. "The one brought you over here is Kiba," Kiba followed with a short bow that Gohan followed. "And this one is Akeno," Rias concluded, smiling at the woman who had been standing behind her.

"I'm sure you have lots of questions Gohan," Rias said. "Let's start with what did you see?" Rias leaned forward slightly anticipating the response.

"All I saw was you standing over Issei, who was in a pool of blood. You said you were saving him, do you mind elaborating and explaining what chess pieces have to do with this?"

Rias sighed. "Sorry to do this to you, Gohan, but do you mind if we wait until Issei is here so I only have to explain this once?" Akeno chuckled as soon as she was about to make a comment, though a serious expression quickly came across her face. She leaned in to whisper something into Rias' ear.

Rias then turned to Gohan and said: "I'm afraid something has come up, but I'll speak with you again tomorrow." With that, the three of them disappeared into a summoning circle.
