Guess what. Chicken butt.
Guess who. CHAPTER TWO!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I love you guys, enjoy.
Ryoto Gurin was strong.
He knew that very well.
Ever since being brought into this new world he had to fight both mental and physical battles. Somehow always comes out on top even with the odds being completely against him. Demons, Devils, Yokai, Angels; he knew that whatever came at him he could handle.
However, there were a couple of things that he couldn't handle very well.
One of them being the opposite sex.
Well not that entirely, more like he wasn't that great with being romantic.
Which is why he was currently looking like a red blowfish as a beautiful raven-haired woman dragged him down the street with his arm placed in between her… stuff.
Now, you may ask, how did he get into this predicament despite how we last left off?
Well, that would require us to go back a couple of days to his first day at Kuoh…
Monday…
After a hefty meal and an eccentric set of events at lunch, Ryoto and Issei were now just lying outside under a tree near the edge of the school grounds.
Issei breathed in then breathed out, "Chillaxing with a new pal. Life can't get any better than this."
Ryoto grunted in agreement, "Can't argue with that."
The MC grinned as he kicked his knee up, "Ya know it's great making another friend since everyone here pretty much hates my guts."
"I wonder if it has something to do with you being a pervert." Ryoto sarcastically stated.
"Nah," Issei smirked, "I think they just can't handle that dawg in me."
"I'm pretty sure that's just autism."
"Oh! I almost forgot." Issei sat up and looked at his fellow brunette, "I gotta introduce you to Motohama and Matsuda."
Recognizing the names Ryoto internally scowled, 'I rather not have to deal with three perverts.' Outwardly he smiled, "Really? What are they like?" He already knew the answer.
"Well, they're like me. Men of culture." Issei proudly stated, "They've stuck with me through thick and thin, despite ditching me when we get caught." He whispered that last part.
"They sound like interesting people." Was Ryoto's dry response.
"ISE!"
"Hey speaking of the devils!" Issei smiled as two new people walked up to the two.
Ryoto sat up to get a good look at the two newcomers and lord behold it was the other two of the Perverted Trio. Matsuda and Motohama.
Matsuda was like he was in the anime. Bald, obviously shaven the only visible hair being his black eyebrows. His eyes looked to be shut like that one guy from Bleach. The only thing that stood out to him was the fact that he was pretty tall standing about 5'10" and despite the uniform, anyone could tell he worked out.
Motohama on the other hand looked like your average guy. Brown straight hair that stopped right above his traps, tan skin, brown eyes behind his big ahh glasses, and a skinny build being the same height as Issei.
Honestly, it was about as much as Ryoto expected from the two.
"Ise, you traitor," Matsuda yelled at his friend angrily.
Issei's eye twitched at the accusation, "How am I the traitor!? You assholes left me and even after that I was actually happy to see you guys!"
"You were happy to see us?" A smile made its way onto Motohama's face before he shook it away, "Wait a damn minute NO. You're breaking our number one rule Ise!"
"Yeah, no pretty boys!" Matsuda pointed at said 'pretty boy', "You hanging with the enemy!?"
Issei proceeded to defend his fellow brunette, "Ryoto is a cool guy. He's nothing like that bastard Kiba!"
'I forgot how much he hated Kiba.' Ryoto internally chuckled as he kept throwing shots at the actual pretty boy.
"If he's not like Kiba then why do I keep hearing about him from all the chicks?" Motohama scowled.
"'Oh~ that new transfer student is sooo hot! I wish he would BLAH BLAH BLAH!" Matsuda mocked the girls around school.
"…Can you not act like I'm not here?" Ryoto looked at the two irritated.
Both perverts got in his face, "Stop being such a pretty boy then~"
"Yeah, leave some girls for the rest of us~"
"I literally JUST got here." The host of the Gray Dragon blankly stated.
Issei got between them, "Guys, I swear he's cool."
Motohama frowned, "Tch, fine. Since Issei keeps covering for you how about we test to see if you can hang with us."
"You guys haven't given me any reason why I should even like you."
Matsuda crossed his arms, ignoring the jab. "This question will determine your worth as a man; it will reveal where your heart lies."
Both perverts pointed at Ryoto and dramatically yelled, "What is your type of woman!?"
"…Huh?" Was the only response our male lead could muster.
"Hehe~ to see a man's true character the type of woman he is attracted to shows who he really is," Matsuda pushed his glasses making them glint, "For example, I WANT A WOMEN WITH THE PERFECT RATIO OF BOOTY AND TITTIES!"
Motohama swiped at his nose, "I love me a petite woman, not lolis though SO DON'T CALL ME A LOLICON!"
'That is concerning.' Ryoto then looked at Issei to see his answer.
"Big boobs." He dumbly answered.
'I should've guessed.'
Both Matsuda and Motohama grinned as they both asked at the same time, "Now then, what is your answer, pretty boy?"
.
.
.
Ryoto looked at them like they were the biggest idiots the world had ever seen.
Correction, they ARE the biggest idiots the world has ever seen.
Sighing deeply Ryoto spoke, "You really think I'm just some shallow pervert who only cares about women's bodies or something?" He scratched his chin, "To ask a question like that shows how dumb you guys are."
Issei looked worried while Matsuda and Motohama looked visibly angry.
But before anyone could say anything Ryoto spoke again.
"But since I refuse to be known as some lame ass," He grinned, "I like a tall woman with a fat ass."
The three perverts stared in awe at the answer.
"Like Megan the Stallion."
The trio looked at each other. Then at Ryoto. Then back to each other before huddling into a circle and whispering to one another.
"…That's kinda valid."
"…I think I might have to change my…"
"…goated honestly…"
Standing from their circle the three looked at Ryoto with unreadable expressions.
Then they bowed.
"WE DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THIS COOL!"
"WE APOLOGIZE FOR INSULTING YOU!"
"I… don't have anything to apologize for but yeah you're awesome dude."
Ryoto sweated at the praise, "Er thanks I guess."
Matsuda grabbed the weirded-out teen's hand and began to shake it, "The name is Matsuda pal, the Perverted Baldy."
Motohama patted his shoulder, "I'm Motohama, but people call me Perverted Glasses and the Three Size Scouter."
"Those aren't very creative names you should be proud of." Ryoto deadpanned.
"Yeah right, to be a pervert is an honor!" Matsuda proudly stated.
Issei grinned, "Yeah, I'm glad we have another one under our midst."
"What?" Ryoto looked confused.
"We can now be the Perverted QUAD!"
"…HELL NO!" Ryoto snapped, "Listen I am not a pervert I just like women."
"Don't deny your heritage brother!" Matsuda wrapped his arm around him, "We will show you the way."
Issei wrapped his arm around him, "Hell yeah!"
Motohama started chanting, "Show him the way! Show him the way!"
"Show him the way! Show him the way! Show him the way!"
Ryoto comically snarled, "SHUT UP BEFORE YOU RUIN MY NEW SCHOOL IMAGE!"
They didn't stop.
Not until the break was over.
Looking down at the events going on was one Rias Gremory.
She was walking by when she heard some commotion going on outside. When she looked, lord behold it wasn't only Issei Hyoudou, one of her persons of interest, but also Ryoto Gurin.
Getting a good look at the teen she could tell what Sona said was true. He was strong yet he concealed his power very well.
Strangely enough, she could compare the power he held was similar to Issei, but something wasn't right.
Like he wasn't entirely human.
'Maybe he is…' She shook her head, "No I mustn't get ahead of myself." She turned away from the window and walked away.
Everything would become clear soon enough.
Evolving Dragon: DxD
All Eyes on Me
It was the end of the school day and things couldn't be going any better.
"Isn't that the transfer student?"
"Yeah…what is he doing with them?"
"You don't think…"
"No! Someone that handsome can't be one of them!"
"I refuse to believe it!"
"…Honestly I don't mind."
"…Yeah me neither."
Ryoto hated the fact that he had enhanced hearing.
"So I was wondering if we should watch Makeout Legends: Final Gooner or Hana Bunni Surprise."
"I was thinking we should play Consquest instead. Heard they finally updated."
"Hey Ryoto, what do you wanna do?"
He also hated that these guys wanted him to be a part of their shenanigans.
All day they've been trying to get him to join in on their activities. Hell, they even tried to physically drag him to come peep.
They want this Perverted Quad train going.
"How about I go home and mind my business?" Ryoto scowled.
Matsuda laughed, "HA! Good one Ryo, now which H-video are you trying to watch."
Ryoto deadpanned at the pervert, "You guys are crazy to be discussing this in public. How you get away with everything you do is amazing."
It was almost like he was in an ecchi borderline hentai power fantasy anime.
Motohama laughed as his glasses gave off a glare, "No worries my compadre, we will release the closet pervert within you to become one of the greats."
"If I'm a closet pervert then everyone in this school is a sexual offender." Ryoto rolled his eyes as he began to walk off from the group.
"Hey, where are ya going Ryoto?" Issei asked the teen confused.
"Home. Just like I said." Ryoto waved the boys goodbye, "I'll see you freaks tomorrow, unfortunately."
Though they were upset at their new 'friend's' departure, they waved him bye as well.
"We'll see you tomorrow Ryoto." Motohama gave the boy a peace sign.
Matsuda waved back at the teen, "We'll save you a seat for tomorrow's Ayumi Tsukai marathon!"
Ryoto shuddered at the suggestion, "I'm good."
"Hey let's go to the arcade one day!" Issei shouted with a big smile.
Ryoto smiled at the suggestion. Happy someone was trying to be normal, "Sure thing dude." He waved lazily as he continued to walk. Once he got far enough, he turned a corner and slumped against the wall.
Grabbing his head Ryoto groaned in frustration, "What the fuck!?" He rubbed his temples to ease the stress. He knew that being around the main character would be doozy, but this was ridiculous.
'I chose to live this life. I chose to live this life. I chose to live this life.' He repeated in his head. First day in school and he already was ready to tweak out.
[So, I can only assume that everything went smoothly.]
A tic formed on the boy's head, 'Oh ha ha ha. What do you think Iggy?'
[I told you it would be bull shit. Inserting yourself into a story is nothing but pain.]
'Yeah, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I quite literally trained for this.'
[Is it really worth it though? Why not be like one of those background people like the ones from those Light novels.]
Ryoto clicked his tongue, 'Hell no. Either go big or go home. I'm going big Iggy.'
There was a silence within his mind before Incursio spoke, [Hmph, well I can't deny that it would be boring. But don't expect everything to go as planned in the 'canon'. And stop calling me Iggy.]
'I was wondering when you were gonna call me out on that.' A chuckle escaped his lips, 'Besides, when would the canon even change? I only been in Kuoh for two weeks and this is my first day at school. I'm gonna be chilli-'
"Excuse me."
'Hold on for me real quick.' "How may I help you-" Mid-sentence Ryoto stopped as he acknowledged the person who called out to him.
Standing in front of him was a 5'6" woman with raven hair, pale skin, a round purple eyes. She wore a school uniform that looked like it still violated several clothing regulations but was a bit better than Kuoh's.
The fact there a woman was standing in front of him wasn't what shocked Ryoto.
It was who it was that surprised him.
"A-are you Ryoto Gurin?" Yuuma Amano aka Raynare was standing there blushing like a schoolgirl.
[Told ya.]
'Shut up you.' Ryoto mentally snapped, "Uh yep, I'm Ryoto Gurin." He quickly answered.
"Ah well, I'm Yumma Amano and…" She looked down shyly drawing circles with her feet, "I-I saw you around town a couple of times and wanted to ask…if I could be your girlfriend!"
"…Eh?"
That reaction wasn't something she expected. Her face turned a bright red as she reeled back, "Oh, sorry if it seemed sudden I just wanted to work up the courage and saw an opportunity."
Ryoto, while he was still surprised, still assessed the situation he was in, 'She's a really good actor.' If he was some other poor chump, he would've been all dopey about the fact a cute girl asked him out.
Good thing he wasn't a poor chump.
"I'm flattered that you find me attractive, but I kinda just got to here so I wasn't expecting this." He weakly smiled.
Only for a second, he saw her mask slightly break before changing to a worried expression, "Oh I'm sorry."
"It's fine no need to apologize." Ryoto waved off her faux concern, "I would rather get settled down before I get settled down."
Rejection was obviously something she wasn't expecting from the way her face tightened in frustration, "I-I see."
"Yup." Ryoto nodded before turning away, "Welp, see ya." He began to walk away.
"W-WAIT!" Yuuma shouted stopping the teen in his tracks.
Ryoto turned around looking less interested in the conversation, "Hm?"
"W-well…" Looking around in a panic she came up with a solution, "You said you were new right? How about we hang out and I show you around as… friends?"
Ryoto was about to decline the offer, but then he realized something, 'If she can't get me she might go after Issei.'
Now Ryoto knew he could handle Raynare, but he knew that there was a chance he might either try and kill him or try to go after Issei.
He didn't want the guy to go through what he did in the anime.
'I could just kill her…' The thought quickly entered his mind, but he shook it off. It was the easiest option. No Raynare means Issei isn't traumatized and Asia isn't killed.
He wondered if he should do it.
His hand slightly twitched at the thought.
'…Jesus, I sound like a psycho.' He relaxed before sighing and smiling at her, "Sure, why not."
Yuuma smiled at his answer, "Great! Does Sunday sound good?"
Ryoto nodded, "Yeah Sunday is fine with me."
"Great!" Pulling out her phone she handed it to Ryoto, "We should exchange contact information."
Ryoto looked at the phone and grabbed it, putting his number in. He handed the disguised Fallen it back, "Hit me up later, alright?"
Yuuma nodded 'happy' as can be.
Without a second thought, Ryoto turned and started walking away waving goodbye.
[You sure this is a good idea? Things happen for a reason and you're already messing with the natural order.]
Ryoto snickered, "Yeah yeah, I couldn't care less about that. I wanted to change things up so it starts with this."
Incursio grunted, [I wonder. Why not just kill her and get it over with?]
"Cause I don't go killing anyone on the fly if it conveniences me," Ryoto answered in a matter-of-fact tone.
[Are you sure it's not cause the idea of being on a date with someone excites your virgin mind.]
That made Ryoto stop in his tracks as a shadow covered his face, "…I know you didn't take it there."
[And if I did?]
"…You're getting stuffed in the toilet."
[You wouldn't!]
"I would you over glorified toilet brush."
[I will rip your soul apart.]
"Doesn't make you any less a bitch."
[Doesn't make you any less bitchless.]
"Kiss my-"
Occult Research Club…
"Sona, good to see you."
"Likewise Rias."
Sitting in the darkness of the Occult Research Club were the four Great On- Okay you know who they are.
But what you probably didn't know was that they weren't humans. Only in appearance are they human, however in reality they were something entirely different.
Devils.
Sona Shitori, Tsubaki Shinra, Rias Gremory, and a fourth beauty.
This woman was about 5'7" and had raven hair that was up in a ponytail, purple eyes, pale skin, and a body with plenty of plot. She wore the same uniform as Rias, with a large yellow ribbon in her hair.
This was Akeno Himejima.
"My~ it is good to see you two." Akeno gave the two council members a closed-eyed smile.
Sona nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I hope all is well it's Kiba and Koneko."
Rias leaned back in her seat relaxing a bit, "Kiba is out on a contract and Koneko is scouting potential members."
"By potential members, you mean those two," Sona's glasses glinted in a way that only on of her eyes was seen, "Hyoudou and Gurin?"
"Oh, you know me so well Sona." Rias grinned like she had been caught.
Tsubaki pushed her glasses back, "He's only been here for one day, yet Gurin is the talk of the town."
Akeno giggled, "He sounds like an interesting guy~ I hope to meet him soon."
"I do wonder, do you have any idea of what Sacred Gears they have?" Sona asked curiously.
Rias placed a hand on her chin as she answered, "While we don't know which one either of them has, Hyoudou definitely has a draconian Gear. It's safe to assume Gurin has one too."
"Interesting." Sona pondered for a bit, "And it's also safe to assume that you would want both of them?"
Rias nodded, "I know it might be a lot to ask for, but you know with my situation." Her face then became sour, "Plus with him becoming more persistent."
"I understand." Sona smiled, "You are my friend after all so I'll let it be."
That made the redhead smile.
"However, if you fail…" A sneak grin crept onto the President's face, "Don't think I won't swipe them from you."
Rias giggled at her friend's declaration, "I would be disappointed if you didn't."
SLAM!
The sound of the doors being slammed open caught everyone's attention. Looking at said doors, they saw a younger girl at 5'2", with short white hair, pale skin, round red monotone eyes, and a petite body. She wore the same uniform as the two former but had a cat pin in her hair.
Rias stood up in worry, "Koneko, what's the matter?"
The now-named Koneko Toujo was breathing hard as she tried to get her words out, "Gurin...Devil...kill..."
"Slow down." Akeno walked up to her junior, "Tell us what happened." She placed a hand on her back.
Koneko finally got her breathing under control. Looking at everyone in the room She began her tale.
"It started when after a Fallen Angel came into contact with Gurin-senpai-"
"A Fallen Angel!?" Rias jumped, "In our Territory!?"
Koneko nodded, "Yes, but something happened after." Koneko once again started, "I lost him somehow, but I found his scent-"
Koneko ran towards an abandoned building as she tracked Ryoto to this area.
"Why would he come to this place?" Koneko mumbled to herself. This place wasn't anything special so why would anyone come here?
Even so...
"Weren't there reports that a Stray might be here?" Using her sensory skills she felt two life signatures near.
One being a human.
The other was Stray Devil.
Before she could even go in to 'save' the boy, something happened.
BOOOOOOOM!
The area shook as an explosion rocked the area. A side of the building blew up flinging debris everywhere which was quickly followed up by a blur zooming out into the night.
Koneko coughed as dust covered the area around her. She quickly recovered and ran to the new opening made from whatever it was that did it. Fearing that she might've not been able to save her new senpai-
"Wha..." Koneko stared wide-eyed at the destroyed building.
Instead of seeing the body of a human, she saw the bottom half of a giant bird-human hybrid. The upper half was...
Well, the large blood splatter told her enough.
Koneko sweated as the only suspect who did this was most likely the person she was tailing.
'Gurin-senpai. What are you?'
"...Then I ran straight here." Koneko finished looking a bit shaken.
Everyone looked surprised at the news. They guessed that Ryoto was potentially stronger than he let on today, but this brought new suspicions towards boy.
Rias looked out the window as the moon shone bright.
"This could be concerning."
Thursday…
Regret
That was something Ryoto was becoming accustomed to.
As he placed his head on his desk, he thought about all the bullshit school life put on his poor soul.
Firstly, he had been dealing with three idiots and their freaky shenanigans for the past two days. Don't get him wrong, they guys were pretty funny and enjoyable to hang around, but that was only when they weren't being horny gremlins. It didn't help that they tried to get him involved every chance they got.
'Hey Ryo, wanna peep on the kendo team with us?'
'Yo Ryo, we got this rare porn mag, wanna check it out?'
'Whaaa, of course, that's not illegal.'
Every chance they got they asked and his answer always remained the same.
However, that wasn't the only issue he had to deal with.
Fun fact, Kuoh Academy allows clubs of pretty much anything.
Which is why he has a fan club now.
Yes.
He didn't know how or why anyone would do this, but the Ryoto Gurin Fan Club was in fact a real thing. He didn't even know what he did to get fans. It was like everyone in this school was a total weirdo.
"sigh… No wonder I fit in." Ryoto blankly stated.
[Holy yap, why are you talking to yourself?]
'You know that you're not funny, right?' Ryoto internally scowled.
[Like I care. I only said something because that brat is watching you again.]
Ryoto looked out his class window with a knowing expression, 'Yeah I know.'
His eyes were trained on a certain tree since behind it was a certain individual who had been watching him since Monday.
That person being Koneko Toujou.
He noticed she was tailing him when he had run into 'Yuuma' and ended up ditching her before he ran into a stray devil.
After that, she's been following him again, but this time she's keeping her distance.
Thinking about it; that meant Rias was planning on making a move on the boy.
'Good grief.'
[Funny how you noticed the devil brat and not the Fallen.]
'Funny how you should shut up.'
"Yo Ryo." A familiar voice brought him out of his mind. He looked up to see Issei and Motohama standing by his desk.
"Sup nerds." Ryoto greeted the two.
Motohama smirked.
That meant something stupid was gonna be said.
"We found a new spot if you wanna join." Motohama snickered as a lecherous look made its way onto his face.
Issei too had a look of perversion.
Ryoto did not.
"No." Was his quick and easy answer.
Motohama gasped as if he was surprised by this, "C'mon dude it's a mark of a true man to see the beauty of a woman's body."
"God's gift to man should be seen with glory." Issei dramatically spoke as a tear dropped from his eye, "Amen."
Motohama nodded in agreement, "Amen."
With a bored expression, Ryoto simply asked, "Do you guys only think with your second head?"
"We think with our hearts." Issei gave him a dumb thumbs-up.
"…whatever makes you feel better." Ryoto couldn't help but look disappointed.
"Hey leave Gurin alone!"
"Yeah, he doesn't wanna be infected by your filth!"
"Piss off!"
Ryoto facepalmed, "Oh for fuck sake." He knew those screeches from anywhere.
Several girls including a brunette, Murayama, and a pinkette, Katase were all glaring at the two perverts.
A good chunk of the girls in his class were among the members of the dreaded club, one of them being Murayama. Katase was part of the other fan club based around Yuuto Kiba.
Though she still 'defended' the new prince of this fine establishment.
"You can't stop destiny!" Issei pointed at the girls.
"Yeah, so beat it before I scan all your sizes right here, right now!" Motohama grabbed his glasses as a mischievous glint shined from them.
The threat was enough to make all the girls back away in disgust.
Ryoto comically screamed at the teen, "THAT'S ASSAULT!"
Motohama's glasses started to glow an ominous white, "IT'S TOO LATE! KATASE YOU'RE BREAST IS-"
THWACK!
A fist stopped the bespectacled teen slamming him into the ground.
Standing over him with a smoking fist was one Ryoto Gurin, "What the hell is wrong with you!?"
.
.
.
"Uh Ryo, I think you knocked him out." Issei glanced down at his fellow pervert.
"Ah," Ryoto reeled back, "Shit my bad."
"Kyaaa~"
"He saved us from that disgusting beast!"
"He's not a prince. He's a knight!"
"Kuoh's Shining Knight!"
Issei and Ryoto looked at the fan girls, then at each other, then back at the girls.
Issei's sweat dropped at the reaction, "Ya know, when I become harem king I hope the girls I'm with aren't this cringe."
Ryoto looked at the brunette monotone, "So that's when you draw the line, cringe?"
Just a day in a life at Kuoh Academy.
Walking outside to get away from everyone, Ryoto hoped to get at least five minutes to himself.
Finding a nice tree he sat under it and pulled out his phone. Scrolling through it, he saw he had gotten some messages from a certain someone.
Yumma[Hey Ryo, whatcha up to?]
'Raynare…' Or Yuuma as she goes by has been texting him almost nonstop since she got his number. It was chill at first, but he started getting a bit overwhelmed with her.
He sighed before texting her back.
[Nun much. Just chilling.]
Yuuma[Really? I thought you had class.]
[I'm on break rn.]
Yuuma[lol right, I forgot.]
"Excuse me, Gurin?"
"Hm." A voice brought him out of his phone, one that he knew who it belonged to. Standing in front of him was a blonde-haired teen, about the same height as Issei, with pale blonde straight hair, baby blue eyes, tan skin, and a mole under his left eye. He wore the school uniform, but unlike most students, he wore it properly.
This was Kiba, the prince of Kuoh and Devil of Gremory.
Ryoto knew that, but he shouldn't let him know.
"That's my name, sup?" The taller teen sat up giving the blonde a small smile.
Kiba returned the smile with his own, "I'm Yuuto Kiba, I heard about you from some girls and wanted to introduce myself."
Ryoto snorted at that, "Oh you heard about me, huh? I heard about you."
That made the blonde look curiously, "Really?"
"Of course, I hear about the dude I'm constantly being compared to." Ryoto grinned, "'Kiba might have some competition', 'Dammit, another Kiba', 'I wonder who would win in a mud fight, Kiba or Gurin?'"
"…You made that last one up." Kiba deadpanned.
Ryoto shook his head, "I really wish I did."
Kiba shuddered as he gave an awkward smile, "The girls can be quite forward."
"Forward ain't even the word." Ryoto groaned, "I've only been here since Monday and I'm already regretting my decision to come here."
Kiba gave the brunette a smirk, "Aw come now. It's not that bad." A blank face was his response, "O-okay it can get out of hand."
"At least I'm not the only one dealing with this." Ryoto laid on his back and looked at the sky, "My only 'friends' here are total perverts, every girl is just as bad as them, and every dude here hates my guts."
"I…kinda relate." Kiba sat down beside him letting out a deep sigh, "My only real friends are girls, other girls that want to know me are strange, and all the guys here hate me."
"Like what is up with this school, am I right?" Ryoto threw his hands up, "Even the guys at Osaka never acted like this."
Kiba laughed, "I'm almost jealous."
"I'm jealous of my past self," Ryoto whined before laughing along with Kiba.
The two sat there for a bit in a comfortable silence before one of them broke it.
"Man, you're nothing like I heard Kiba," Ryoto confessed.
That made the blonde quirk an eyebrow, "Really?"
The brunette nodded, "Yep. Issei, Motohama, and Matsuda would always say that you were a good-for-nothing pretty boy who is the enemy to all men and should run into traffic."
"That's… not the worst thing I heard," Kiba admitted.
"Yeah, but you're the only normal guy I have met so far." Ryoto groaned, "It's a relief to finally relax."
That slightly surprised Kiba as he looked at the human with wide eyes before smiling, "Yes, it is nice to have a normal conversation."
Suddenly the bell rang.
"Welp time for class." Ryoto kicked himself back on his feet and stretched, "Thanks for chilling with me dude. See ya." Giving a lazy wave.
Kiba sat up and smiled, "See you later, Gurin." He watched as the teen walked back into the building.
.
.
.
"You're getting real friendly."
Kiba looked back to see Koneko coming from behind the tree sitting beside him.
Kiba shrugged, "It has been a while since I've been able to talk to the same sex without being wished death upon." His face turned serious, "Anyway, what were you able to find out?"
Koneko hummed before starting, "He has a draconian Sacred Gear. And his life force is strong, yet… warm." A red tinge formed on her face.
Kiba noticed that "Oh~ so are you not as scared of him as you were before?"
A harsh glare made its way onto Koneko's face, "I wasn't scared."
Kiba reeled back a bit, "Sorry sorry." He stood up and dusted himself off, "We should talk to Rias about this."
Koneko nodded, following his lead. The two started to walk towards the Occult Research Club.
As the two walked, Kiba thought back to his conversation with the human.
A smile made its way on his face.
'I would like to get to know you more Gurin.'
Later that day...
School was out and the group of four walked to the gate as they spoke on plans.
Surprisingly, normal plans.
"So we're on for laser tag tomorrow?" Motohama asked.
Matsuda nodded, " Think there's a sale going on around the time we get out of school."
"Awesome!" Issei grinned, "You're coming too Ryo."
"Yeah, since it has nothing to do with your weird ass hobbies I'll come." Ryoto nodded.
Motohama laughed, "It is only a matter of time before you come to the light."
"Yeah and become one of us!" Matsuda grinned lecherously.
"No." Was starting to become Ryoto's favorite word, "I'm going home now-"
"Ryoto?"
Said boy froze as he turned to see Yuuma standing at the gate, with an innocent smile.
"Y-Yuuma?" Ryoto stammered, not expecting to see the disguised Fallen, "What's up?"
"Woah who's this beauty?" Issei butted in as his nostrils flared with excitement.
Matsuda grinned, "She's a total babe!"
Motohama's glasses shined bright, "Look at those measurements! Her boobs are a size-"
"SHUT IT PREDATORS!" Ryoto smacked the three on their heads stopping any more shenanigans, "Can you not act like dumbasses? No wonder you're all single."
Issei rubbed his head, but the hit seemed to activate his brain cells, "Wait, you know her Ryo?"
All eyes were on the transfer student. Even people who weren't in the conversation watched.
Ryoto groaned as he started to introduce the ravenette, "Well, this is Yuuma, she's a-"
"I'm Ryoto's girlfriend." Yuuma finished his sentence.
"..."
Creeaaaak~
Ryoto's neck made a strange noise, similar to a rusty level being turned, and gave Yuuma a shocked look.
"...WHAT!?"
Every single person in the courtyard screamed in shock at the declaration.
Ryoto looked around in a panic, "WAIT WAIT WAIT! SHE MEANT LIKE A FRIEND THAT IS A GIRL-hold up, why am I explaining myself, ALL OF YOU MIND YOUR FREAKING BUSINESS!" He comically screamed at the students who went back to doing what they were doing before with some a little bit upset.
"YOU PRETTY BOY BASTARD!" Matsuda grabbed the brunette's shirt, "YOU ONLY BEEN HERE FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND YOU ALREADY GOT A GIRLFRIEND."
Motohma cried as he wrapped his arm around Issei, who was also crying, "I thought we were gonna get our first girlfriends together."
"We've been betrayed," Issei whined.
Ryoto scowled at the three before looking at Yuuma, who was laughing mischievously.
'She's fucking enjoying this.' His eyebrow twitched profusely.
[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!]
'So is that damn garden snake.'
Rias stared at the scene intently from one of the windows of the school.
Moreso, the brand-new person that waltzed up in her territory.
"Such an arrogant one." Her eyes flashed red as she glared at Yuuma, "Walking around like she owns the place."
Akeno, who was also watching, had a sinister smile, "Should we act Rias?"
Rias thought for a bit before answering, "No, she hasn't acted against us yet so we should just watch over her for now."
"I understand," Akeno agreed, but looked a bit disappointed, "Though I really wanted to play with her for a bit. Hear her screams~"
That made Rias sweat a bit, "That is... concerning Akeno." She coughed in her hand, "Let us go talk to the others. We'll need to come up with a plan to officially come into contact with Gurin-san since the Fallen Angels seemed to have an interest in him."
Akeno nodded, "Shall I get Sona too?"
"No," Rias shook her head as she started to move, "We can handle this situation on our own."
Akeno nodded, "Yes president." Following in suite.
Rias gained a serious look, 'Obviously, she isn't working alone. Depending on what their plans are, could incite a war.'
'...Why do you seem to be in the middle of it all, Ryoto Gurin?'
"I'm glad you find entertainment in my bullying." An irritated Ryoto scoffed as he walked through the street with Yuuma.
Yuuma smiled at the teen, "Well, I just wanted to get you back for rejecting me."
An angry tic appeared on the boy's forehead, "So petty, I never even acted like this whenever I asked someone out."
"Oh," Yuuma perked up after hearing that, "You asked people out."
'Not in this lifetime.'"Yuh." He answered nonchalantly.
"So, what did those girls have that I didn't?" Her eyes narrowed a bit awaiting an answer.
Ryoto shrugged, "I don't know, maybe 'cause I've known them for more than a couple of days."
"Hmph!" Yuuma scoffed at that answer before she pouted at the male, "Meanie~"
Ryoto looked at the girl with slight surprise, 'Huh, she's kinda cute...' He shook his head, "Gah, what's up with all this crap? I haven't even been here a whole week, yet I've been bombarded with thing after thing."
"Well, maybe you're just a magnet for the strange," Yuuma smirked at the brunette.
Ryoto palmed his forehead, "I wouldn't even be surprised if someone tried to kill me at this point."
"Ack!" The disguised Fallen was shocked at the statement, "T-that's a bit much."
'Hehe~ goteem,' Ryoto smirked as Yuuma broke her mask again, "Yeah I guess you're right."
As they continued to walk, the two continued to talk about random things. This continued on until they came to a crosswalk.
"Hm?" Ryoto's eyes narrowed as he felt a presence appear similar to the person beside him.
Only it was more prevalent.
"Huh?" Yuuma stopped and looked ahead as her face paled, "Wha..." sweat dropped from her brow.
Ryoto looked ahead to see what Yuuma was looking at.
Or rather who she was looking at.
Standing at the crosswalk was a man, taller than Ryoto standing at 6'3", with jet-black spiked-up hair, red dagger-like eyes, pale skin, and a lean body. He wore a black suit with a purple dress shirt, a white tie, and black dress shoes.
The man looked at the two with a stone-cold expression and walked up to them. Once he got close enough he stopped and stared down the teens, Yuuma more than Ryoto.
Ryoto spoke up, "Er, can we help you?" Yuuma looked at the human in shock at his nonchalant question.
The man glanced at Ryoto, before looking back at Yuuma, "What are you doing wasting time?"
Yuuma looked nervously between the two males, "What are you talking about Tabris?"
The now-introduced Tabris furrowed his brow, "Don't play dumb with me," He went to grab Yuuma's arm.
"Hey."
Only to be stopped by one Ryoto Gurin.
Tabris looked at the boy, then the hand attached to said boy that was grabbing his wrist, "What are you doing?"
Ryoto glared at the older man, "I don't know what your deal with Yuuma is, but I can't let you touch her so casually."
That made the man glare, "You wanna try this white knight shtick with me, brat?"
"Don't say that it makes me sound cringey." A smirk made its way on Ryoto's face, "Besides, I don't like shady bastards like you."
"Really now?" Suddenly the air around Tabris became heavy as he tried to move his arm. Much to his shock though, his arm didn't even budge out of the teen's grip.
Yuuma, who was reeling from what was happening, finally jumped in, "Hey, stop it!" She managed to separate the two and pushed Tabris away, "Ryoto-san, I'll text you later so don't worry about me!" She began pushing the man down the road.
"What the hell do you think-"
"Shut up and move!"
Ryoto stared as the two disappeared around the corner, "...What the fuck?" He shook his head and sighed, "Fantastic."
More eyes on him. Just what he needed.
[Looks like you can't catch a break.]
'Of course I fucking can't.' He started walking again, 'But that was weird. My memory of High School DxD wasn't the best, but I knew for a fact that there wasn't a guy named Tabris in the show.'
A hum echoed through his mind before Incursio spoke, [I believe this reminds me of a certain someone saying don't expect everything to go as planned.]
'Good grief, that'll make things a bit more complicated.' Ryoto clicked his tongue, 'Everything is happening so fast. All those years of training yet I haven't thought about shit going south this fast.'
[I believe you're strong enough to handle it, but be careful.] Incursio's grunted as he shifted, [That Fallen is definitely stronger than the female.]
"Heh," A smirk once again made its way onto the teen's face, "Yeah, but I'd still win."
[...Did you try to make a reference?]
"...Y-yeah but I messed it up."
[Idiot.]
"Go fuck yourself."
"What the FUCK are you doing."
Yuuma, or in this case, Raynare, glared at Tabris as the two were now outside an abandoned church.
Tabris looked down at the girl with a bored expression, "I'm here to make sure you're not fucking up the mission." He crossed his arms and grunted, "It seems you've gotten too comfortable playing with your new toy."
"Don't be stupid." Raynare scowled, "I'm only doing what I need for the mission."
"Then why are you screwing around with the target." The older Fallen raised an eyebrow, "If you wanted you could kill him right now and get it over with."
"I-I know." Raynare stuttered a bit, "But my orders were originally to observe him, so that's what I decided to do."
"..." Tabris quietly stared at Raynare before closing his eyes, "It seems you have gotten weak Raynare."
FWOOSH~
Suddenly a pair of black feathered wings popped out of the girl's back along with her body becoming slightly bigger and more mature.
Raynare glared harshly and jabbed her finger into Tabris' chest, "Don't call me weak."
"Is that supposed to scare me?" Tabris' eyes went blank as his face went blank.
FWOOSH~
Ten black wings erupted from the man's back flexing them.
"Do not think I will take this lightly," He took a step forward, "Just because you're his child doesn't mean I will tolerate disrespect."
Despite being outclassed Raynare did not back down. She glared at Tabris with defiance and fury as light energy crackled in her hand.
.
.
.
"Hmph." With a twitch, Tabris relaxed his wings and turned, "The Nun will be here in three weeks. Don't screw it up." Extending his wings he flew into the night sky.
"...sigh." As Tabris left, Raynare let out a sigh of relief and relaxed. She turned to walk into the rundown church but stopped as she thought back to when Ryoto 'saved' her, 'He's definitely stronger than he let on. I might need to be more careful.'
...
"I can't let you touch her so casually."
A small tinge of pink formed on her cheeks, "Why did I think that bastard looked kinda cool?" Her face looked troubled, biting her lip in frustration.
Soaring through the air, Tabris looked down at the wrist Ryoto grabbed earlier.
He grabbed the sleeve and pulled it back slightly to look at something.
On his wrist was a bruise.
Bruised by a human.
A wild grin made its way onto the Fallen's face.
"Ryoto Gurin, if Raynare doesn't kill you I will gladly take your life."
Sunday...
Ryoto at his watch as he furrowed his eyebrow.
2:38 pm
"She's late."
It was finally Sunday, his awaited date with Yuuma aka the whole thing that jump-started Issei's adventure, 'I wonder how that'll work out.' He looked around as people passed by him, 'Meh, couldn't be worse than getting stabbed in the gut.'
He then looked at his reflection in a window. He wore a simple Black shirt with a retro cartoon Ghost face on it, with dark blue jeans, and black, and red 4s.
"I hope I don't sweat in this crap," Ryoto mumbled as he pulled at his collar.
"Here have a card."
"Hm?" Ryoto looked to see a girl dressed like a bat holding out a card with a pentagram, 'That's Rias' familiar.' He grabbed the card and thanked her missing her to walk on. Ryoto looked down at the card and chuckled, 'It's weird to see everything I watched play out.' He placed the paper in his pocket.
"Ryoto-kun!"
'Finally.' Turning to the sound of whoever called his name, Ryoto saw the woman of the hour finally arrive, "Yo." H raised his hand and gave a casual wave getting a good look at the fallen.
Yuuma was wearing a yellow sundress, a white jacket, and white sandals.
Ryoto couldn't lie, she did look cute.
"Do you like my outfit Ryoto-kun~" Yuuma twirled showing off.
Ryoto blankly stared at her, "You're late."
That made Yuuma falter before pouting, "I was only eight minutes late!"
"Still late." Ryoto shrugged.
Yuuma looked down in annoyance, "Meanie."
The brunette stuck his tongue teasingly, "Hehe~"
"Grrrr." Not wasting any more time Yuuma grabbed Ryoto's arm and dragged him down the street, "Let's go!"
Ryoto was surprised by the sudden action, but also by the placement of his arm. He blushed as he felt two breasts wrap around his arm, "H-hey, my arm is."
"I don't care! Let's go." She pulled his arm even more into her chest.
"Ghhk!" Ryoto beamed red as his cheeks puffed up.
And that is where we left off from the beginning. Despite Ryoto's chaotic beginning, it was only that.
The beginning.
Don't expect the other chapters to come out this fast, I already had one and two on standby and am currently writing chapter three.
Anyway, I love you guys!
PEACE!
