Last time when we saw Joseph he was on his way to Japan, now in the region of Kanto Japan in the town of Kuoh. He has a two-story house with four bedrooms and a backyard of 100 square ft. Joseph spent money on furniture, clothes, workout equipment, and food. Joseph took the master bedroom for himself and made one of the extra rooms into a workout room, the other two rooms are completely empty. He uses the backyard for combat training, practicing moves, shadow-boxing, and ect.

He has a spacious open kitchen that 4 people can cook or clean in at once. His living room has a long black couch, an 80-inch flat-screen TV hung up on the wall, big speakers for surround sound (it's mostly for music though), and has a brown coffee table with some coasters in case he has a drink.

The house also came with a dining room. Joseph put a long brown table with six chairs in the room however, he doesn't use this room since he doesn't live with anyone. After getting his house and furniture he explored around Kouh seeing the warehouses, the mall, the shopping district, and the most prestigious school he has ever seen, Kuoh Academy.

He heard a lot about it from the locals, how it used to be an all-girls school but two years ago it was made co-ed. He had also heard that it was a very large campus so he looked around for himself. "You know I figured the walk would've been worse, but it wasn't that bad. It's only a 20-minute walk from where we live, however, I do see or rather smell one problem with this place."

"So you've noticed them partner." Draig stated. "Yes I have, this place is a den of devils there's only two that could give me trouble, but I sincerely doubt they could do anything to me, after all most devils can't fist fight." "I suggest not getting too cocky partner that's how those devils in China got the better of us."

"I know you're right Draig but they're all sooo weak." Joseph said exasperated. Draig chuckled. "You're very right partner, however, there seems to be more than just devils here." "Yeah I sense there's at least te- wait eleven devils, but there are 3 races mixed with them. A Nekomata, a Vampire, and a Fallen Angel." Joseph says the last part with annoyance and disgust. "There also seems to be a dragon here somewhere I can't pinpoint it like the others though." "It could be a sacred gear." "Is it the white one?"

"No it's not. I would have told you if we were close to him before we got to the school." Draig said plainly. "Well that's a relief I didn't want to kill anyone today, plus I might be able to have a training partner if I can find them." "Or a friend your age." "Draig we talked about this. I don't need anyone other than you to be my friend and it's not like we're gonna stay here long. That palm reader told me to be here. Well I got here, and after that we'll deal with some shit about some black wings of death, then we'll bounce." Joseph said nonchalantly.

"Joseph this could be a chance at some normalcy in your life. You haven't attended school since you ran away from the orphanage. And we don't know how long it will take before the black wings of death get here. It could be today, tomorrow, a week, a month, or 15 years. All we know is that it'll happen so why don't we settle down? The church won't come anywhere near a den of devils and the Fallen Angels will have to be careful in this territory."

Joseph sighed heavily. "Fine, you win Draig I'll go to school but only because you're so adamant about it." "Thank you, partner." Joseph lets out a slight chuckle. "Don't worry about it Draig, I suppose we should head in. I'll most likely have to go in the school to transfer."

Joseph then walked into the school to get registered as a student, he was told he'd start next week on Monday. "Alright Draig, let's head home, I need a cigarette and I left them there." "So what're you going to do about that bad habit, you can't smoke in class." "I'll just chew mint gum during class to make me not want to smoke and not to let my breath smell like an ashtray, it's a foolproof plan!" "And if I'm really jonesing for a cig I'll smoke one during lunch." "Smoking on school grounds is a great way to get caught, partner." "Whatever Draig."

Next week rolls around and Joseph is standing next to class 3-C's door waiting for the teacher to call him in. "You can come in now!" Joseph heard the woman and went in. Joseph opened the door and was greeted by a middle-aged woman with brown hair. "Everyone this is Joseph Smith he's a transfer student from the U.S. Joseph, why don't you introduce yourself to the class so we can get to know you."

"Um, as you heard I'm Joseph and I came from the U.S. I like working out or practicing martial arts. I love food that includes eating food, and cooking food. I can't wait to try cooking Japanese cuisine. Also sorry if my Japanese isn't good, I only started learning it 2 months ago." He says trying to sound typical. "For how new you are to Japanese you are doing very well, does anyone have any questions for Joseph?" The teacher asks the class and one girl raises her hand, without letting the teacher respond she blurts out the question. "Do you have a girlfriend?" "No I do not have a girlfriend, not yet at least." To the dismay of the teacher the female students scream in joy and start chattering about it

"See I knew he was single!" "Oh quit it, I'm going to ask him out!" "Pfft! Like you have a chance!?" The female students continue. "I didn't know I would be so popular." Joseph says with pride as a male student asks, "Hey Joseph, why are you in Japan if you're from the States?" The teacher looks relieved at the question, Joseph stops at the question before calmly responding with "My parents both work for a big company, that's why we moved here and around Asia. But they chose to have me stay-" "HOW BIG'S THAT JUICY DICK!" A girl yells from the back of the class. "I do not feel comfortable answering that question or anymore," Joseph says in an annoyed voice.

The rest of the class goes relatively normally, spending a good present of the time doing intermediate amounts of work in class. But he spaces out sometimes or starts messing around with a grip strength trainer. While getting ready to leave out of class for a smoke the female students gather around the door. "Oh my god, it's Yuuto!" a girl says in a shy voice "Hey, Yuuto-kun want to go watch a movie with me?" Another girl asks, trying to sound seductive.

"Tsk, Oh look it's the prince of Kuho," a male student said sarcastically "He can go fuck himself." Another male student joins in "Yea and that shitty golden boy attitude." Joseph thinks to himself "Golden boy attitude?" "Yuto-kun you look great today!" some random bitch says.

"Why thank you, you're very kind, you look lovely yourself," Kiba says with a small smile. "Ew." Joseph thought. "Such a well-maintained act. Must be tiring keeping up such a facade, I wonder what the devil is hiding." He thinks to himself, Kiba notices a weird feeling and looks over to see Joseph who smirks before going to lunch.

On the way home, Joseph is walking on a busy road lighting a cigarette before getting stopped by a girl with black hair, and violet eyes, who stands at 162 cm(5 '3 "). When he first lays eyes on her he instantly knows what she is, a Damn Fallen Angel. "Excuse me, is your name Joseph Smith?" She says in an overly cutesy way, Joseph takes a long drag of his cigarette and removes the cigarette from his mouth, pauses, and then exhales.

"Yeah, that'd be me. What do you want?" he states, narrowing his eyes. "I heard you were the new transfer student and when I saw you I thought you seemed cool smoking. I wanted to get to know you, so I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me on Sunday?" She says in a cutesy way while trying to act shy and pushing her fingers together.

"Sure, what time and where?" "Let's go to the mall at 2:00 P.M. meet me at the fountains." she says, trying to act kindly "Ok, that works for me." The fallen was about to run off until she remembered something and doubled back. "I forgot to say, my name is Yuuma Amano, and don't you forget it ok?" She runs off with a pep in her step.

"Why did you agree to a date with that fallen angel, it could be a trap." "Don't you know Draig? If there's one crow then there's usually a murder." He says while stretching. "It seems to me you have a murder planned out."

Joseph chuckles "You'd be right Draig, I plan on using her to find the other fallen angels. It's a shame I'm going to have to break her." Joseph sighs "Why is that partner?" "Cuz she was cute."

5 days later, Kuho mall.

Joseph walks around the mall with Yuuma in tow. Looking around, Yuuma pulls Joseph into a nearby clothing store and starts to pick out clothes to try on. As Yuuma keeps changing in and out of different clothes, Joseph is too busy trying not to die from boredom.

Until Yuuma pulls him into the changing room where she is wearing a form-fitting dress with a flower pattern that shows her ample chest. "Sooo what do you think about this one? Joseph looks at her up and down. "I ain't gonna lie to you, you look fine as hell but why did you pull me in here?" He says with a grin. "Well, I wanted to show you the dress." "You sure the dress is the only thing that you wanted to show me," Joseph says, getting closer. "Actually I did wanna show you something" sliding her hand down Joseph's pants. "As long as we're quiet no one should find us out~"(skip the next 2-3 paragraphs if ya don't like Horny stuff. Idk why ya would read DxD tho)

Joseph whispers in her ear, nibbling it. A soft moan escapes from her lips as he slides his tongue down her neck, his left hand lifts one of her legs while the other pulls her closer before laying her on the bench. "Oh you're being so gentle, you can be a little more aggressive." Yuuma expresses while sliding her dress top down, "Fine then, you want me to put force on you. Just remember I don't stop till I say we are done, got it?" he places his hand on her face forcing his finger into her mouth as he moves his hand up her legs. Slowly placing his hand on her panties, he applies a little pressure rubbing his fingers around her clit. A moan escaped her mouth, making Yuuma close her mouth around Joseph's finger. "Laced and the texture is silky, I think dark red or raven." Yuuma jumps a little at the word raven but quickly gets distracted by Joseph's hand. She grabs his back and bites his finger as she starts to get visibly wet. "F-fuck, jus-st fuck me already!"

Joseph drops his pants to the floor, using his hand to guide his erect shaft to her entrance. "Start slow. I need to let my body get used to your dick when you put it in me." "Sorry sugar tits, I don't plan to be slow." Joseph grins as he thrusts into her, a sigh leaves his mouth as he feels the warmth of her body. Her arms and legs wrapped around him as he lifted her onto the wall while keeping pace. "You're not a virgin, there was no blood. That means you're not so innocent are you?" Joseph questions as Yumma moans "H-hey, can a girl not have a few secrets?" "I mean sure, but I know something you don't know." Joseph mentions. "And what is that?" Yumma questions as Joseph thrusts into her again and releases. "I was about to cum." Joseph grins as Yumma moans from Joseph's sudden release.

Yuuma's hand inches up to Joseph's cheeks and pulls him close, pressing her lips to his ear, "Joseph… I have a question for you." Joseph chuckles "Yeah sure we can go again" Yuuma sighs "No Joseph, not that… I want to know if you would die for me?" Joseph's eyes widen "Die for you? Fuck no, the hell are y-" A light spear punctures Joseph's chest, blood spews out his side and a little out the mouth. Joseph sighs before grabbing her neck and pulling out. "Damn, here I was kinda liking one of you crows. But a crow will never be good." he tightens his grip around her neck, her breaths turn to ragged gasps for air. "You can easily tell that if I press a little more your neck will snap, so I have a trade offer. Tell me where your crow friends are and live or die and I will hunt them down." Yumma's head shakes up and down frantically before Joseph throws her to the side, she sucks in the air before coughing. "Speak girly, before I change my mind."

25 minutes later Kuoh Academy, student council room.

"President, we figured out that fallen angels are here and that they are after the new student Joseph, what should we do?" a reddish brown-haired girl asks a slim bespectacled black-haired girl sitting in the council head's chair. "We don't do anything, he can handle himself." she states "That boy could beat me if I didn't have prep time, he is almost high class after all." a blond-haired nicely built man burst into the room breathing heavily while holding a stack of papers. "Saji, why did you force the doors open? You know what will happen to you now?" The council president asks in an annoyed tone. "Sona- I mean President that will have to wait, that Joseph guy killed a fallen Angel in a store!" Saji exclaimed. "WHAT!? YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT SOONER!" Sona jumps out of her chair slamming her hands onto the desk. "DAMN IT! EVERYONE GET READY TO WIPE THE CITY'S MEMORIES OF THAT!"

Back with Joseph at the mall, 20 minutes ago.

"Thanks for the info, looks like we are going to the Kuoh church." Joseph says to Draig. "Indeed partner, you have prep time as well." Yumma asks "H-hey I-i-i get to leave, r-rig-ht?" Joseph looks down at her and sighs. "Yeah sure." Yumma's eyes widen with joy as she starts to get up, when she is on her knees she looks up to Joseph's foot in the air. "Why is your fo-" Before a word can leave her mouth his foot flies forward, a loud cracking noise can be heard leading into a light metallic smell as brain matter splats on the wall. Joseph grins and Chuckles to himself. "God it feels good to kill a crow in fear, such a nice feeling." Joseph wipes his foot on her chest like a towel then leaves the store, he reaches into his pocket for a cigarette only to feel nothing.

Groaning, he walks to a nearby gas station and buys 3 packs of cigarettes. Once out of the gas station he opens a pack and lights up one. "So what do you think the crows are here for?" Joseph says while walking to the church. "Well partner, the fallen are almost always trying to gain more power and control more of the sacred gears, even after the war. They won't ever work with the devils, so they may be planning to obtain something from this city." An hour later, Joseph walks into the boundary of the church as a quick glint gets into his eyes. Suddenly Draig yells out "DODGE" as a bullet carves into Joseph's shoulder blade.
