Mattmack: glad you liked it. When I was younger I thought the relationship was fine, as I got older, yeah, Sam is not really a good choice. But Danny might have been ok with it. As for Grayfia, there is some information about that in the bottom Author's notes about it. Read the author's notes (after reading the chapter :P) for details on that. Her son is the reason I am iffy on that since I don't think I need to erase him from existence.

Gungnir Nike: Je garde seulement cette option ouverte car je ne sais pas si je devrais le faire. J'ai d'autres idées pour ça mais pour l'instant, Danny restera Half Ghost.

Sh0ckWav3:

Dragoul Mayol: ok, ouch. Did you think it was gonna be a flop because of the summary? I am not really good with those, or fic names. Hopefully, I can make a better one later. Again, ouch. I just have a lot of ideas and like to put them up. I will get back to my other stories since I have a lot of notes on each one. I'm just stupid with a lot of ideas. Some though will be reworked as I came up with better structure and flow.

Jebest4781: yeah, Sam is problematic.

Danny's Halfa status will be a factor in some things but I am keeping options open.

I came up with an idea for his stay. And that idea for Koneko is funny so maybe

Ok, that would be funny

Yami Luna Kitsune: I'll fix it when I can.

Hey, she wasn't expecting Danny to show up so she didn't get dressed.

They had to

Sam doesn't know about the school that much so she doesn't know. And yeah, she did

OmegaDelta: Clockwork would interfere if it leads to a bad timeline so it depends

Shieldbuckle: I am just keeping the option open but it is not a solid thing that he would change. So for now, he shall remain a Halfa, whether he changes or not is still in the air.

Guest99: potentially get along with them.

Tornado man: for your first part, maybe. For the second part, BIG maybe.

Lightfang: I'm just keeping the option available but I won't go into it at the moment. His status will play a factor no matter what path I take.

Djinn: Glad you like it. Sam has a lot of problems and she tends not to think about the consequences.

Lordruni: Thanks for the high praise. I will build up on things like that.

Guest 1: Thanks, glad you like it.

KorevainsoLightshire: I was worried that I might have messed up on Sam since I never wrote a character being overly possessive before.

Yep, but I think it is more of a typical Friday for him. A lot of crazy in his life already, why not add more?

Danny now has left his home to see more of the world…. Or at least one new part of it.

Danny is technically already dead. Those jokes would be funny, I might use them.

Let's not make Danny pull out a hallow mask and go all Getsuga Tensho on everyone….. I might do that in my Bleach X Danny Phantom fic (gotta get back to that one)

I am keeping the options open so I can go in any direction. We will see as we keep going.

We will see if he gets any sort of gear.

Some1call4MR-E: did you need to give me a lecture? Sorry, but you are kinda coming off as rude. I understand that there are other pantheons and I already have a way to incorporate the ghost zone into the world of DXD. It is still early on and the first chapters were just to set up Danny and his leaving. I am only keeping the option of whether or not he becomes a devil open, not strictly going that route. Also, Danny is technically dead, so age could potentially mean nothing.

Gamelover41592: Hopefully it sees that potential

undefined. Of. s: I have some info on the Grayfia factor in the end author's notes, so read it after reading the chapter.

Claymaster27: Well, this is pretty much later Danny, so he is powerful. I have some notes on that in the End author's notes to get an idea.

Green223: That is an option but still in the open.

Jaded671: Gald you think I got Sam right, I was worried about getting her possessiveness right. Interesting, a scyth might work but we will see. The option of whether he becomes a devil or not is just open as I am not sure just yet. If he does become one, those are interesting options. I had to look up Ingvild and that could very well be an option.

Iamshinydragonmist: I didn't think of that, I could go that way, but we will see. I like to keep my options open."

Chapter 3: New Environment

"Ok, so this '私の' means 'Wa - ta - shi - no' can be read as 'I', 'mine', 'me'. But it can be used by both boys and girls, while for guys, '僕' is 'Boku'."

Danny was sitting on the bed with a book in one hand and a pencil in the other. He had spent the last two hours looking through the book that his sister gave him in order to understand the language. She gave it to him when he finished packing the last of his things and told him that he would need it. He was thankful for the gift, even though he no longer needed it to learn how to speak the language, it still helped him try to read it.

"Why does it turn into this bundle of squiggles one way when there is another bundle of squiggles here?!

So far…two hours is not enough to understand much.

He lowered the book and dropped his head. "Ugh, if I hadn't been trying to figure out a way not to go to the school, I might have gotten some of this memorized." He sighed before falling back and putting his hands behind his head. He stared at the ceiling thinking about what he could expect from being in Japan. He never looked into other countries much as his focus was more on fighting ghosts, getting his homework done, and trying not to get vaporized by one of his parents' inventions. "Well, I know I won't have to stay up super late dealing with ghosts anymore…. I can actually build that shuttle model that I got but never got around to… I can look at different constellation settings!" He was starting to get in a better mood as he began to point out the positives of going there. "No more bullies! No one knows me there so they shouldn't have any beef with me. I will finally be able to sleep in after a full eight hours of sleep instead of bolting awake after two or three hours." He sat up and threw his fist in the air as he stated. "I might actually start getting good grades again!" he made sure to not shout as he wasn't sure how soundproof the walls were. He smiled as he crossed his leg over his propped-up leg. "Guess they were all right, I should see this as a vacation." He looked out the window to see the clouds passing by. "I just have to get through the long trip there." He sat back up and grabbed the book again. "I have the time, might as well try and figure this out. I learned Esperanto, how hard can this be?"

~Four hour mark~

Danny lifted the game controller into the air at an angle as he was playing a video game. He was shooting a bunch of zombies before a massive one came rushing toward him. "Oh no you don't!" he flicked the control stick to get his character to jump out of the way before he started shooting at it. After a few minutes of non-stop shooting, he stuck his tongue out in concentration. "Come on, come on, yes." He smiled as he saw the big zombie explode. He stood up from his seat and pumped his fist. After his elation calmed down, he moved over to the bed and plopped down to sit before he looked at the book he had spent the first few hours reading it. He was able to get a few words in his head but it was still a very slow progress. "Well, now that I finished that level, I should study this more." He picked up the book before opening it where he left off.

~Seven-hour mark~

{-we are live in downtown Amity and it looks like another ghost fight is taking over the whole block outside of the theater.}

"Seriously?! I've only been gone for half a day and already they are causing trouble?"

Danny was now watching a newscast of Amity Park to see if there was anything going on. It took him a few minutes to find the channel that had it but when he did, he watched as the usual weatherman was onsite of another ghost fight.

He watched as Dani fought against a couple of Ectopusses. So far, she was doing pretty good, but the fight was going on too long.

This was one of the things he was glad his parents gave to the news crew of amity. Cameras that were able to film ghosts without the usual ghost aura causing fuzzy blurs or cut-off scenes.

{We don't get why our local ghost Danny Phantom is taking so long but we can only assume that he is either enjoying the fight too much or is off his game.}

Danny sighed and shook his head as they were thinking it was him thanks to the general colors Dani was using. "Don't they realize that her outfit is different than mine? Or do they not notice?"

{though from what I can tell, it looks like he changed his look by adding some green to it.}

'Oh, they did notice.' He watched as Dani finally grabbed the Ectopusses and swung them around before tossing them to the ground. She floated down and landed on the ground before the camera started moving closer.

{This is one of the rare chances that Phantom lands on the ground. We are gonna try and get a little closer. Maybe we can get some questions… wait. That isn't Danny Phantom!}

Danny watched as the camera started rushing toward Dani. "oh boy."

{Miss! Miss! Can we get a few questions answered?}

Danny saw Dani jump in shock at the coming camera crew and turn to look at them. He smiled at how embarrassed she looked and how, during a fight with a ghost, she has the confidence to take on a lot of his heavy hitters, but when in front of a camera, she becomes a timid girl who can't look anyone in the eye.

Dani hunched her shoulders and brought up her hoodie to cover her face. {um, I uh…. I gotta go.} She flew over to the knocked-out Ecto pusses and dragged them into the sky and away from the area.

The weatherman turned to face the camera before speaking to the studio and people. {well, it looks like we have a new ghost hero in town. Is she here to take over Danny Phantom's territory? Is she here to replace him? We will soon see what this Inviso-girl plans to do-}

{IT'S DANI PHANTOM!} Dani's head poked out from the room top, seen by the camera, before she disappeared from sight. A second later, she poked her head out again. {THAT'S DANI WITH AN "I".} She disappeared again, leaving the camera crew a bit surprised.

The weatherman blinked a few times before looking back at the camera. {Dani Phantom, plans to do now that she is here. Based on that name, she could be related to Danny Phantom and we will bring you any update about these two when the information comes in.}

Danny smiled as he watched how fast Dani was able to get her name known to the people. He then frowned as he slumped his head. "How come I couldn't get them to say my name right as fast as she did." He shook off his mood and grabbed the remote. "Well, at least she is getting things done." He blinked as he realized. "Did she forget the Thermos I gave her?" He chuckled as he changed the channel. "She'll get it soon."

~eight hour mark~

Danny stared outside the window with his face and hands pressed on the glass. "I could get there faster if I fly myself." He looked at his stuff and thought about it. "Yeah, I've flown faster than a plane before, I can do it again and get there faster." He turned his head intangible and stuck it outside. After a minute, he brought his head back in, with his hair blown back. "Yeah, I could fly faster than this." He looked back at his stuff, only to frown as he wasn't sure which airport the plane would land along with some information that was on the second page of the acceptance letter. "Ugh, but I can't. Not only do I not know where I need to land, but I can't thanks to what that thing told me." He shook his head, getting his hair to go back to normal. He huffed before he sat in his chair and turned on the TV. "Well, I guess boredom isn't the worst thing to happen to me."

~eleventh hour~

"Journal entry #78-" Came the shaky voice of Danny as he was curled in the corner, a blanket covering him, and shivering. "- I've been in this room for….. I don't know how long. I can hear the voices outside. They are talking. I can hear the whispers. Who are they?" He looked toward the closed door as he wrote in the notebook. "They are after me. I know they are" He silently hissed at the door as if it was an enemy. "They want to take me away. But they won't take me. I will protect my precious. Phantom. Phantom. Hehehehehehehe."

knock knock knock*

"Yes?"

Opening the door, was an attendant with the snack trolly. She looked in the room to see the boy sitting on the bed, looking at her with a curious expression, a blanket draped over his shoulder, and a notebook sitting on his lap. "Hello, sir, is there anything you would like from the cart?"

Danny looked at the cart and saw a few candies and drinks. "Hmm, yeah, can I have some-" He ordered a few candy bags and a soda, almost ecstatic that he didn't have to pay as it was already paid for. He thanked the lady before he closed the door and moved to sit back on the bed while eating some of the chocolates. "Why can't I have this kind of luxury back home?" He looked at the notebook he was scribbling in and opened it to see that the page he was using was just pencil marks. A massive squiggle that took up two pages. "Well, I think that is enough pretending for now." He opened his soda and took a swig. "Boredom does weird stuff to ya."

~ fifteen-hour mark~

Danny was lying on the bed and holding his hand up, using his ice powers to make small marbles that floated around his fingers. He had a look of concentration as his tongue stuck out. "I can still only get four of these things to float around my finger. Frostbite did tell me that this helps in control but it's a lot easier to just blast it than make these small things and control them." He lost his focus and the marbles fell onto his face. He dropped his hand and sighed. "Frostbite can make hundreds of these and make them dance yet here I am with barely four." He picked one of them up and looked at it. "I'll catch up when I have the time to focus on this." He popped it into his mouth before rolling it around in his mouth. "I wonder if I can do this with juice?"

{Attention, passengers, we will soon be entering Japanese airspace and will begin our approach in thirty minutes. Please make sure that you possess all your belongings before our approach and are ready to depart. Attention, passengers, we will soon be entering Japanese airspace and will begin our approach in thirty minutes. Please ensure you possess all your belongings before our approach and are ready to depart.}

Danny felt a tingle in his ear and stuck his pinky in it to make the tickling stop. He wondered why they repeated themselves about this but he figured that he should start packing up so that he isn't spending the last few minutes running around and getting everything ready. He sat up and looked around at his stuff. Being lazy, he stretched out his hand and used what little telekinesis he had to start moving his stuff toward his suitcase. "Gotta practice this too so, might as well."

{Entering Japan airspace}

A pair of golden eyes opened up before the owner stood up and walked toward the outdoor garden. The woman stood in the garden's center with the koi pond to her left. She looked up into the air as something caught her attention. "What could that be?"

"Is there something wrong, mother?"

The woman turned to see a young girl walking up to her. She shook her head before looking back into the sky. "Nothing is wrong. I just felt something." Her eyes scanned the sky till she saw a plane flying overhead.

The two looked into the sky as several golden tails swayed behind them.

Green eyes shifted as the owner felt something in the area that had been a bit of concern to them for some time now. It was an unknown that just entered the area and brought concern.

"Is something the matter, sister?"

The owner shook her head as it was unknown if this was a threat or not. "I am unsure but I felt…..something."

"Something concerning?"

"No, just…..vaguely familiar."

A fluttering was heard before golden feathers floated in the air.

A man took a gulp of his drink as he sat at a bar before he froze and looked up at the ceiling. "What could that be?"

"Something up?" spoke the bartender as he cleaned a glass.

The man shook his head before he got up. "No, I just had a gut feeling about something. Well, I better head back so I can catch the afternoon showing.." He placed the money on the table to pay for his drinks. "Take care."

"You too, sir." the bartender took the money before moving to the register to put it in. He paused when he saw that there was much more there than the drink cost. "Wait, sir!" he ran around the counter and out the door to catch up with the guy to give back the money that went over the cost. Once he stepped outside, he didn't see any sign of the man. He felt something land on his head and reached up to grab it before looking at what it was.

It was a black feather.

A set of eyes shifted as the owner got up from their seat. "Oh, he's here. I know it was around this time he should have arrived but I guess I was too busy to remember. I wish I could meet him but I guess it will have to wait."

Danny clipped his case shut before he froze and looked out the window. He tilted his head as something tingled the back of his head. He got the feeling when they entered Japan airspace but he brushed it off as it wasn't anything major. He checked the entire room to make sure that he didn't forget anything. Once he was sure he had everything, he looked at the laptop table as he had brought out the letter to look at the instructions on it earlier. He picked it up before folding it and putting it in his pocket. "Well, here we go."

{Thank you for flying with us and we hope you fly with us again.}

Danny walked off the plane and looked around as it was clear that he was no longer in the States. Mainly cause he couldn't read any of the signs around him. "Okay, now where am I supposed to go?" He pulled out the piece of paper and read it. "So, I'm supposed to go to the…. East entrance?" He looked up and groaned as he couldn't tell which direction was East. "Sure, this thing is in English but everything here is in Japanese." He shrugged his shoulder and lifted his hand to point in a direction. "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe." He pointed to his right and began to walk. He was glad he didn't have to go through baggage since he only had his carrying case.

He wandered the airport for a good fifteen minutes before he gave up and walked up to one of the security agents.

"Excuse me, can you tell me where the East Gate is?"

The man looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow. "I ….am sorry, can you please….. repeat … your question?"

Danny heard the slow speech and figured that the guy didn't speak English much. Remembering what Pandora told him, he focused a small amount of Ecto energy into his throat and tried again. "Can you tell me where I can find the East entrance?"

The security guard gave a small sigh of relief before answering. "Head in that direction-" He pointed over to his left. "And it will be the large entrance with the blue banner over it." He looked back at the boy and complimented him. "I must say, your Japanese is impeccable."

Danny ignored the tingling in his ears as he chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. "I had someone teach me how back home." He shifted his bag and nodded to the man. "Thank you for the directions."

The man did a sharp nod. "You are very welcome. Enjoy your stay in Japan."

Danny nodded again before making his way toward the entrance. He rubbed his throat as it tickled from using his energy there. "Wow, it actually worked. Thanks, Pandora."

He made it to the entrance and walked outside as he looked at the piece of paper. "Ok, it says that someone will be here to meet me, but it doesn't say anything about who it will be. I don't know if I need to look for the person or just stand in one spot." He looked around and couldn't tell if anyone was looking for him since it was extremely crowded and he was surprised that no one was bumping into him.

"Excuse me, are you Danny Fenton?"

Danny turned around to see who it was that was speaking and saw it was a girl around his age talking to him.

The girl gave off a mature aura as her eyes were sharp with amber irises behind a pair of blue half-rim glasses. Her black hair was long enough to reach past her knees with bangs covering her forehead. She wore the school uniform that Danny had seen meant for their students. It was a white buttoned up blouse that accentuated her large breasts, with an onyx colored corset around her stomach, and a very short bright burgundy skirt with small white frills.

Danny figured that she might be the one to come for him since she was wearing the school uniform and called out to him, but he gained a slight blush as he couldn't help but think to himself. 'Holy crap, she's prettier than Paulina!' He remembered that she asked him a question and shook away his blush, while instinctively grabbing his pants just in case. "Uh, um, yeah, I am. Are you the one that is here to pick me up?"

The girl shook her head as she maintained a serious aura. "No, I am Tsubaki Shinra, I came looking for you to bring you to the one that was here for you." She turned to the side and gestured for him to follow her. "We should meet up with her now as she has been waiting."

Danny chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry, I kinda got lost in the terminal. I still can't read Japanese yet." He followed her as they walked through the crowd. He noticed how crowded it was and couldn't help but ask. "How did you find me in all this?"

Tsubaki looked over her shoulder at him. Without missing a beat, she responded. "We were given a photo of you so that we would find you easily." Her eyes only briefly lingered on his pocket before looking back ahead.

Danny looked up at his hair and figured that it might be one of his distinctive features that helped her find him.

After getting through the crowd, they began to make their way toward a parked limo with another girl standing next to the door.

Danny saw that she was also wearing the school uniform.

This girl was petite but also gave off an aura of authority but she seemed less stern than Tsubaki. Her hair only reached the end of her chin and had a yellow hair clip on the left side of her head. Her eyes were softer than Tsubaki's with her magenta eyes behind a red-rimmed set of glasses as they stared at Danny.

As they got closer, he couldn't help but have another thought. 'She's prettier than Paulina, too! Tucker would blow a gasket if he knew about this.' He swallowed back his blush and tried to be normal while gripping his pants tighter with his only free hand.

Tsubaki stopped in front of the other girl and bowed. "I have brought Danny Fenton here."

The petit girl bowed in response. "Thank you, Tsubaki." She looked at Danny before folding her hands in front of her and bowed. "I welcome you, Danny Fenton, to our country and to be part of our academy. I am Souna Shitori, Student council president of Kuoh Academy. I was informed that I would lead you to your new abode for your stay in our school." She gestured to the limousine for Danny to enter. "Now, please, let us be off."

Danny nodded as he moved to the trunk to put his traveling case in it before following the two girls into the vehicle.

Tsubaki sat on the far side, Souna Shitori sat in the middle, and Danny sat at the door they entered. Once the three were in the car, it started to drive away.

Danny looked around the car as he couldn't believe he had gone from flying in a super first-class plane to a limo. 'If I see a mansion, I'm gonna buy a lottery ticket. The world is telling me to get rich.' He internally chuckled before something came to mind. He looked out the window to get an idea of where they were going.

As he was looking out the window, both Souna and Tsubaki eyed him.

After a minute, he gained a flat expression. 'I have no idea where anything is so how would I even know where we are going?' He shook away his expression and looked at the two girls. "Uh, where are we heading? The paper I got only said I would be picked up by you but not much else."

Souna hummed at what he said before answering. "We were informed of your arrival and tasked with bringing you to the dwelling that has been set up for you during your stay in the academy."

Danny was shocked at that. "I get my own place?!"

Tsubaki was the one to nod. "Yes, were you unaware of this?"

Danny shook his head before he pulled out the piece of paper. "This thing was very vague on a lot of things. All it said was that everything was taken care of and that someone would pick me up from the airport."

Souna eyed the paper before holding out a hand. "Mind if I see it?"

Danny shrugged as he handed it over.

Souna read the information on the paper before her eyes scanned the empty space at the bottom of it. "This does have a lack of details. I was barely given any information about your arrival, just enough for me to be here when you arrived."

Danny let out a huff as he crossed his arms. "Why does this sound more and more like this was a whim? Usually, stuff like this would be more detailed or full of other stuff about my class or something."

Tsubaki shifted her glasses as she spoke. "That actually was taken care of. A list of your classes was sent to your new abode along with your uniform."

Danny remembered the uniform thing he would have to do and dropped his head. "Oh, right, I forgot about that. Well, it's just another thing I have to get used to while I'm here."

Souna nodded as she figured that he would have a bit of a culture shock in his early time here. "Yes, there most likely will be a good amount of customs you will have to get used to. But I am curious as to how you learned to speak Japanese so well."

Danny sucked in his lips as he couldn't think of anything that would excuse him from that. His mind rushed on everything he knew and was able to grab onto something. "My sister helped me out in speaking it and I was able to get it for the most part since I got the letter." 'Please buy it, please buy it!' He did his best to keep his expression natural but he didn't know if it was working.

Souna and Tsubaki looked at each other before they looked back at the boy.

Souna leaned back in her seat, her glasses gleaming white as she nodded. "You must have been a fast learner to understand Japanese so quickly."

Danny would have let out the breath he was holding but that would have been a dead giveaway. Instead, he chose to just hold it in for another few seconds as he slowly let it out.

Tsubaki placed her hands on her lap as she asked. "Tell me, do you know why you were chosen to come to our school?"

Danny blinked at the question as he was hoping that they would know since they were picking him up but he figured that they were just doing this because they were told to. He shrugged his shoulders as he leaned on the door. "I have no idea. I only found out about the transfer a week ago and had to go through so many hoops before I traveled."

Souna shifted her eyes to his backpack before looking back at his eyes. "And all you brought were the travel case and your backpack?"

Danny looked at the bag he had placed on the floor and shrugged again. When I packed up, I realized that I didn't have a lot of things to bring. Just a set of clothes and some smaller electronics that can keep me entertained."

Tsubaki hummed in thought. "It seems that you might have a difficult time living here if you do not have much with you."

Danny made a face as that was something else he did not realize until just now. Well, Jazz did bring up the idea that he would be in a boarding house belonging to the school, but now he finds out that he will be living on his own. "Well, I've had to deal with some difficult decisions before, I'm sure I can handle this in some way." He rubbed the top of his head as he wanted to ask. "So, you really don't know why I was transferred here?"

Souna shook her head. "No, as we said before, we were only tasked with bringing you to your abode and giving you details of our school." She paused as something came to her mind after hearing what Danny had to say. "But from the lack of information we were given and how this school is a new environment for you, I am willing to help you whenever there is something that is causing you trouble while you are there. You can come to the student council if you run into something that you do not understand."

Danny gave a grateful smile at that before asking. "By the way, what is the 'student council'? You said you were president of it, but I don't know what it is."

Tsubaki tilted her head. "Did you not have a student council in your own school?"

Danny thought about it for a second before shaking his head. "Not that I know. I mean, the name sounds like it is some sort of school government thing but there isn't anything like that back at Casper High."

Souna shifted her glasses before speaking. "The student council is the representatives of their respective schools. They are to handle budgets for clubs, oversee school activities, and handle meetings with representatives of other schools. We also make sure that everything in the school does not get far too chaotic. There are some conflicts, arguments, and situations that occur within the school that we allow, but if ever something far too…. Unacceptable happens, we come in to stop it."

Danny was a little surprised about this. It sounded like the school was run as if it was a facility with its own police force, but with how these two seemed to not be the high and mighty type, he guessed he should go along with it. Sure, there was an air around them that gave them a sense of dignity but he didn't see anything wrong with them. He has dealt with the A-listers and Sam's parents, so he was ok with this. Not like he could do anything about it anyway, since it isn't his school.

Tsubaki was the next to ask. "Who would handle the problems at your school if there was no Student council?"

Danny thought about the events that his school had. "Well, the faculty dealt with the money and events and tended to task some of the students to prep things. The money came from some of the richest parents so their kids would get out of doing any sort of manual labor toward the events."

Souna frowned at that. "That sounds irresponsible. Despite the money coming from the parents, the students should still contribute to the school."

Danny shrugged. "Well, I wasn't part of the rich group, I was just the wimpy kid of the school." He noticed that the two girls looked at each other, almost as if they were having a personal conversation. 'They must be close if they can do that.' He noticed that it was taking a lot longer than he thought it was but when he saw Souna shift to look outside of the car at the window behind Tsubaki.

Souna looked back at Danny and nodded toward the window. "We have arrived."

Danny blinked as he looked outside and saw that they were now in a residential area. Houses that had short walls and gates. Not only that, but the sun had gone down. He must not have realized it during their conversation. He hummed as he figured that they would drive past them and stop at an apartment building, but to his surprise, they stopped at one two-story house, with beige walls and a dark blue roofing. "Wait….. This is where I'm staying?!"

Souna nodded. "Yes, it was all set up for you to live and you are allowed to do what you wish with interior decoration. It is already furnished so you do not have to worry about purchasing anything."

Danny remained sitting in the car as he stared at the house that was given to him. "Uh…"

After a few minutes, Tsubaki spoke up. "We should go inside so you can begin to acclimate yourself."

Danny shook his head before he looked back at them and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "Right, sorry." He grabbed his bag and opened the door before moving to the trunk. All the while, keeping his gaze on the house. 'This can't be real. Are they gonna push on it and it turns out to be an elaborate picture in front of a shack?' He grabbed his traveling case and watched as Souna and Tsubaki walked to the door. He moved to catch up with them and saw Souna use a key to open the door. 'Ok, not fake.'

The three walked inside and the two females stood to the side of the small shoe area and gestured for him to walk inside.

Danny walked past them and could not believe that he was given this house to live in while he was there. He could see a kitchen to the left, a living room with a couch, carpet, table, seats, and a TV on the wall. Across the living room was a sliding glass door that led to a decent size backyard, to the side was a staircase to the second floor and a hallway that had two rooms and a bathroom at the end of the hall.

Danny felt like he was dreaming and pinched himself, only to find that he wasn't dreaming and this was real. "Holy crap." (1)

The two girls were amused by his reaction before Souna spoke up.

"Your bedroom is on the second floor, but you are allowed to use any of the other rooms on the first floor if you wish." She brought her hand up, presenting the key. "This is the only copy of the key, so be sure not to lose it."

Danny turned around and walked up to them. "Oh, um, thanks for this." He took the key from her before nervously rubbing the back of his neck. "This is…. A lot to take in. I expected a hotel room or boarding house with the other students, not….. This." He stretched his arm out to gesture at the house they were in.

Souna nodded. "There is no boarding house for the school, and with the recent change to the gender ratio, it would be unwise to do so."

Danny thought about it and could see the issue. He did know about boarding houses that had both genders but he figured it wouldn't be fair if there were only a few boys in a building full of girls. Though that did sound like a man's fantasy life. "Alright, anyway, thanks for bringing me here."

Souna nodded. "It was no trouble. You will begin your classes in two days. I will have one of my council members meet you on that day so they can lead you to your class." She and Tsubaki bowed to him as they had finished their task.

Danny remembered that bowing was a show of respect and the lower you bow, the more respect you show. Thinking about the image he saw during his research, he stepped back and bowed at a ninety-degree angle. He heard a small chuckle before tilting his head to look up. He saw Souna and Tsubaki smile at him before he stood up straight. "Did I do that wrong or something?"

Souna shook her head. "No, it was correct, though I don't believe you needed to bow that low."

Danny sheepishly chuckled. "Sorry, I'm still trying to figure things out." (2)

"You'll learn." she turned around and stepped out the door before looking over her shoulder. "We will see you at school, Danny." The two girls began to leave, only for Tsubaki to stop as it looked like she remembered something.

"Oh, we were also informed that your funds for any necessities will be delivered at the end of the week, afterward, you can expect them to arrive at the end of every month."

Danny's eyes widened again as he didn't know he was getting paid. Sure, it was for necessities, food, and the stuff if he guessed right, but still. "Oh, uh,... Thanks."

Tsubaki nodded before following Souna, leaving the boy to his own devices.

Danny turned around and looked at the house he was now in before looking at his traveling case. "Now I really feel like I packed light." He looked at the stairs and began to walk up to the second floor to find his bedroom.

The second floor had three bedrooms and a bathroom, his bedroom was at the end of the hallway and looked to be the biggest one while the others were smaller. The bathroom was the first door on the right. The two bedrooms were on the left side and looked identical.

Danny entered his room and saw it had a large king-size bed, a walk-in closet, and a personal bathroom. The window had a view of the street since his new house was at the corner of the street, so he didn't have to worry about neighbors peaking in. The bed had a nightstand on each side with a lamp on each one.

Danny could not believe that this was his new room as he compared it to his room back home. He saw his new uniform hanging on the coat hook of the closet door and figured that he would have to try it on to make sure that it fit. Looking around, he saw a piece of paper on the left nightstand and he walked over to pick it up. He cut off the ecto energy in his throat and began to speak in English. "Ok, so this is my class… man, I know my life is weird but this is just… crazy." He sat on his bed, something that he still had trouble grasping before flopping back onto it. He made a small mental note of how comfortable the bed was but had something else that was bugging him. "What the heck is that damn buzzing feeling in the back of my head?"

That was something he had been feeling ever since he met Tsubaki and Souna, and it got even more noticeable when they entered the town, but he just had no idea what it was. It was less, now that the girls left, but it was still there. "Argh, whatever. This is the start of a simple easy-going vacation. Sure, I have school and stuff, but at least I won't have to fight ghosts every thirty minutes." He brought up a finger and lit it up in energy. "Looks like I can give my powers a break for now." He sighed as he dispelled his energy and folded his arms behind his head.

~Meanwhile~

Sona Sitri sat across from Tsubaki as the atmosphere in the limo was a lot more serious than it was before. "What are your thoughts?"

Tsubaki sat up straight as she gave her analysis. "There is something off about him. I could sense something coming off his form but I did not recognize what it could be."

Sona nodded. "I also did not recognize it as it was…..subdued. One thought that came to me is that it might be a sacred gear, and if it is, he might or might not be aware of it. His personality seems to be very open but whether he is hiding it or not is…inconclusive. It seemed to be focused around his head but I don't know enough to make a solid conclusion."

Tsubaki nodded. "He does seem to be hiding something but he seemed genuine in not knowing why he was here. If he knew that he had a sacred gear, he might have given us a tell that he was aware that was the reason, given his openness. But he didn't give off the impression on whether that was the case or not."

Sona looked out the window as she crossed her arms. "He does give off the idea that he is hiding something, but it might not be what we believe. If he has a sacred gear, his life could be in danger. We might need to -" She paused in her speech as she sharply looked over her shoulder, out the back window. "Can you-?"

Tsubaki shook her head as her voice grew in seriousness. "No, it disappeared!"

The two were about to vacate the limo and fly back but paused as they felt the weird signature from Danny's residence again. It was slightly stronger but it didn't fluctuate, meaning he wasn't using it to fight. After a few seconds, it disappeared once more. They focused on his location again but they didn't feel anything that would suggest that there was someone else in the area.

Sona relaxed as she made sure that there wasn't anyone else nearby before looking at her Queen. "It appears it was nothing. He might have accidentally increased its power for a brief moment before subduing it. I cannot feel it anymore so he should be safe from being detected. What I was about to suggest was that we keep an eye on him for the time being to make sure if he possesses anything or if he is part of another faction."

Tsubaki nodded. "We can have one of our members watch him for some time after school. While in school, we only need to keep watch passively." She thought about who they could have watch him after school hours before she smiled knowingly at Sona. "Will you be informing Rias about this?"

Sona gave a fond hum as she looked out the window. "I have no claim over him and we are unaware if he possesses anything worth my remaining pieces. I was only tasked with bringing him here, nothing else. We will wait and see if there is a more important reason for bringing him to our school." Despite her saying this, she can't help but feel that something else was going on, as this was the first time anything like a foreign student had been invited to Kuoh Academy.

End of chapter

1. I don't think this would do anything so I made it so it doesn't

2. I also don't know the full customs of Japan.

Just in case it wasn't made clear, Sona and Tsubaki are detecting the small bit of ecto energy that Danny is using in his throat and ears. When he stops using them, they stop detecting him.

Souna is Sona's alias for the human world (from what I found)

Ok, the first bit was just for fun and I figured that Danny would have to do something for the entire flight. Hope you thought it was amusing

Now for some in-story changes that some brought up in reviews.

Someone brought up the idea of making Issei female. This is something I don't think I can do cause, I can't help but feel it would just cause so many….. Issues. But, if a lot of your guys think I should, then put it in a review and it might change my mind.

Now this is more important.

Remember how in the last chapter author's notes I said I wanted to add Grayfia to the harem? Well, someone gave me an idea: What if Grayfia had a daughter who looked like her but was around the age of Rias and the others? As well as working for Rias until the "transfer". This would allow me to have my cake, eat it, and keep the bakery open :P. BUT this, I understand, would be a major change in character actions, scenes, and the like. So, I am putting up a pole on whether or not I do this. Since this is being crossposted, I will have the fanfic dot net results combined with the other, and the one with the most votes will win. I got another review saying I can make Grayfia just Sirzech's maid and I can have her join Danny, this is also something I am unsure of but if a lot of people say I should, I could add it to the poll, but that is up to you. So if you think I should add the option in the poll, put it in a review, if not, just vote.

Now for another factor that many brought up; how strong is Danny?

After looking through many of his feats, watching several episodes with big moments in the show, and some YouTubers scaling his powers, I have a few points that will give an idea of where he is in power.

There are context clues to tell where he is in power. This is obviously after Pariah Dark since Dani is around, Dark Dan since he has the ghostly wail, and potentially Undergrowth since he has his ice powers. (I say potentially since I made it seem like he hadn't fought Undergrowth at all).

In turns of speed, it is said that he is faster than the eye can see. That is lightspeed. Not only in terms of flight but also in reaction since he has been seen dodging ecto rays, which have been considered light speed as well. He is constantly dodging, missiles, which are faster than bullets, dodging lightning from Vortex, and catching up with a commercial airliner in the first episode. So he is friggin fast.

In terms of strength, he has been seen carrying a full school bus from the back as if it were a cup of tea. Hit Vlad hard enough to go through three floors and a ceiling and flying away from the building, and that was one hit.

Durability, he's taken hits from someone who had enough power to destroy the world (Dark Dan) and still kept fighting. He was thrown through brick walls and brushed them off, sent flying across the stadium and acted like he was hit by a pebble. He was hit by giants before countering and when hit by elements, it may hurt him, but he still has the strength to fight back.

Cartoon power levels are hard to pinpoint since there are inconsistencies but I will try my best to maintain a set power for him instead of making him seem like he gained power out of nowhere. (even though his ghost powers tend to do that.)

As for powers… yeah, also powerful and versatile.

I will not make him a pinnacle of power, cause otherwise it would be boring. But it is clear he is powerful. Stupidly so

Harem members are still in the air with one being in the poll.

Please vote for the idea cause I must know so I can continue since it could potentially affect the next chapter.

Poll can be found on my profile page if you are using a computer.

Poll will close in one month: 11/9

(10/12) STOP THE PRESSES!

I received a review that gave me a very interesting idea that I could use for Grayfia. I won't say what it is but I will say that it can only be done IF Grayfia is single. As such, I added the option to the pole. I have ideas for the daughter option and if Grayfia is single, so no matter what the result, I have ways of progressing. PLEASE vote so I know which direction I can go. Please

if you already voted and want to change your vote, let me know. But please be honest and not say something that will ruin the results. tell me what you voted and what you want to change it to.

Flames will be ignored.
