HEY GUYS! KAISER X HERE! And this is my first Highschool DxD fanfiction and second fanfiction overall. This is a "What if Issei met Akeno before meeting Rias and her peerage?" type of story.

I know there are a few out there, but this is will be a genuine Issei x Akeno fanfiction. There will also be some Issei x Harem in this, but Akeno will still be the main girl in Issei's harem and Rias will be second.

Truth is, although I like Rias, I just find Akeno better than her. Maybe it's her elegant, but sadistic personality. Or maybe it's her appearance. I just don't know. I find Akeno to be one of the top 3 best bishoujos in Highschool DxD along with Gabriel and Serafall.

I got the idea from both watching the Anime/Manga/Light Novel and Gunmare's story, "A Second Chance."Seriously, guys. Check out his/her story. It's awesome. Still waiting for it to update though. :/

I will try to follow the canon of the story, but expect a few stuff here and there that are not canon. I won't spoil it, though.

Issei is still perverted than ever. I will try not make anyone in this to OOC. They will still act the same. Though there might be a couple changes.

Also guys. Might I ask. Do you want me to add OCs? If you want, I can add more characters to the story if you want. I don't know if I should ask you guys to make the OCs for me or not, but I have a few ideas for OCs.

I will add characters from different mythologies such as European, Slavic, Greek, Egyptian etc. in here. They will either serve as an ally or a foe for Issei. But, they will likely be an enemy.

The story will have a lot of elements from other animes and video games such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Ball Z, etc.

For right now, this story is rated T for violence, language and sexual references , but if I plan to add lemons in this and turn it into an M rating, so be it.

Give me your full criticism on this. Tell me how I should improve the story and things I should add. Just be nice about it please. I do not want any flames in the review section.

If my English and grammar sucks, I'm sorry about it. I am currently taking a Writing and Reading class in highschool, so hopefully my grammar improves overtime.

If anyone wants, you can proof read this story.

I do not Highschool DxD, nor do I own anything else besides my OCs.

Prologue

(Issei's POV)

I was currently shopping with my parents to buy groceries. It has been a month since my best friend, Irina, moved out from Kyoto and went to a Protestant church in Italy to become into a Devout Christian. It was suggested to him by his parents, who were very religious in Christianity. Without him, it was quite lonely.

We were going around stores, buying all sorts of food. Once we were done shopping, we started to walk back home. While we were walking, something caught my eye. Across the street was a shrine. Funny. I never seen that shrine before. I wonder what's the purpose of it is. I'll see if my parents can take me there.

"Hey mom." I said to my mom.

"Yes, honey? What is it?" Both of her hands were carrying two bags of groceries.

"Can we visit that shrine right now?" I asked them, while pointing at the direction of the shrine.

"I don't know, son. We still have these groceries to tend to." My dad said.

I really want to know what that shrine is about. "Pretty please, dad! I will just be a quick visit!" I got on my knees and started to beg.

"I say we let him visit the shrine. It's not like we have anything better to do." My mom agreed with me.

"Well...just for a little visit, alright? I still want to watch that sumo match today, so don't keep us there for too long, okay?" Oh thank you dad. I rushed towards the shrine while holding the groceries. I was running fast, too fast for my parents to catch up. They were falling behind.

"*pant*...*pant*...slow down son. I am not as fit...as I used to be..." My dad said while panting from exhaustion.

"Hehehe...Our little Issei is fast when he's really excited, isn't he dear?" My mom giggled as she watch me speed through the sidewalk.

"Yeah...he sure is. I wonder why he wants to visit this place?" My dad asked my mom.

"Just let Issei do what he wants. Maybe he is visiting this place to become a devout like his friend, Irina." My mom guessed. I didn't really want to become a devout. I'm just really curious about the shrine.

"Maybe...let's just see." Dad said as they tried catch up to me.

I stopped right in front of the shrine and went up the steps. My parents followed me from behind. As I enter the shrine, I noticed that no one was there. "Is anybody here?" I yelled out. Seems like nobody's home.

"Ara ara. Why hello there." All of us turned around and we saw a young woman and a girl about the same age as me. They both have have matching black hair with a ponytail. Both of them also wore a traditional miko attire consisting of a white haori and a red hakama. The girl was hiding behind the woman's legs. Her face was red as she looked at me. She looked really cute.

"Excuse me, but are you a shrine maiden?" My father asked the woman.

"Yes. My name is Shuri Himejima and this is my daughter, Akeno Himejima. Say hi to the boy, Akeno." The girl was still blushing and hesitated for a bit, before walking up to me.

"Ummm...Hi...My name is...Akeno..." Akeno said in a cute voice while looking away from me, blushing hard. I could tell that she was very shy about this. I just chuckled for a bit about how cute she was before extending my arm to shake hands with her. We both shook hands, but she still went to her mother's side.

"Hey there, Akeno. My name is Issei." I said while giving her a warm smile. My dad then gave me a pat on the back, saying that I did a good first impression in front of Akeno. My mom also gave me a smile that says "good job". I just merely shrugged it off.

"So, Mrs. Himejima. Do you and your daughter live in this Shrine?" My mom asked Ms. Shuri.

"Why yes, of course. I also live here with my husband, though he is currently away at the moment. Maybe we should discuss about ourselves over a nice cup of tea." Shuri said.

"We would like that." Mom said while she grinned.

"It would be nice to get to know eachother while drinking some tea, Mrs. Himejima." My dad said, agreeing with mom.

"No need for honorifics. Shuri is fine." Shuri reassured my father. Shuri then turned to me and Akeno, who were sitting on the wooden floor of the shrine."Why don't you two play games with each other while me, Mr. and Mrs. Hyoudou have a little chat?" She said to us while giving gentle smile.

"Uh...sure."

"Okay, mother." Akeno said to her mom.

Mom, Dad and Shuri went to another room, leaving me and Akeno alone.

"So what do you want to play?" I ask her.

"Ummm...I don't know. What do you want to play?" She asked.

"I...guess we can play tag if you want." I told her.

"S-sure." She said to me.

-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-~{O}~-

We spent minutes running around the shrine, trying to tag each other. "I'm gonna get you, Akeno!" I yelled as I chased after her. "No, you won't, Ise-kun!" Akeno tried to run away from me, but I soon caught her. When tagging her, I try to be as gentle as possible. I don't want to hurt her, after all."Awww...Ise-kun, you meanie! Fine then. Come here, Issei!" She said as she ran towards me. We kept tagging each other and laughing.

I've got to say, it was the most fun I've had since Irina left. Our parents walked out the room they went in and noticed that we were playing tag with each other. "Ufufufu. Looks like both of you are having tons of fun. There is no doubt you two would make great friends." Shuri said as we kept running around, chasing each other. After we were done playing, me and my parents had to go back to our house. Man, this sucks. I want keep playing with Akeno.

"Well, it's been great having you all here. You can visit anytime you want." Akeno's mother said to us.

"Of course. And thank you for having us here, Shuri." Mom replied. Akeno then walked up to me and smiled.

"Hey Issei."

"Yes Akeno?"

"Can we play again next time you visit?" Akeno asked. Her head seems to be down. She looked sad. I don't want her to feel that I am leaving here permanently. I do want to visit her again. I really do.

"Sure. If you want, I can visit you tomorrow. Since it's summer break, I've got nothing better to do." Her face seem to light up at my response. Her frown turned back into a smile and she gave me...a hug? I blushed when she hugged me. I am not really used to this amount of affection.

"Promise me, Ise-san, that you'll visit the shrine tomorrow so we can play. Okay?" She asked me with her cute little voice. God, her voice is so adorable.

"I promise." I said, reassuring her that I would visit again. I mean there is no point in breaking my promise to her. I would really love to have a playdate with her again.

"Awww...ain't that sweet? Hehehe. You can visit shrine anytime you want, Issei." My mom said. I smiled at her approval. I get to visit the cute Akeno-san whenever I want! This is great!

"Well...we should be saying goodbye now. We look forward for our next visit. Hopefully our son won't be troublesome when he visits the shrine tomorrow" Dad said to them glaring at me. "You won't, right Issei?"

"Of course not!" I said stammering at my words. God dangit, Dad! Don't embarrass me in front of them!

"I'm sure he won't be troublesome when he visits tomorrow." Akeno's mom told us, reassuring that we have nothing to worry about.

We all said our goodbyes as we walked out into the street. I looked back at the shrine. I saw Akeno and her mother waving at me and smiling. I stopped to wave back at them.

"Hurry up, Issei. It's getting late." My mom told me.

"Coming." I yelled to her. I quickly caught up with my parents and we walked back home.

This was the day I met my best friend, Akeno.

2 months later...

Me and Akeno were the bestest of friends since we first met each other. We would always play games with each other every day. Things haven't been lonely ever since we met. We would go around Kyoto Park where we could use the play structure. We would also go around town buying various things. One time, we bought ice cream and we enjoyed it.

Flashback...

We were running around, playing hide and seek when we heard a familiar ringing.

*ring-ring*

We only know what that means.

"ICE CREAM!" Me and Akeno both yelled out as we approached the ice cream truck.

Several children got in line before us, so we had to wait for a couple of minutes. Once it was our turn, we took out the money that our parents gave to us and put it in the counter of the ice cream truck.

"Hello there, kids. What would you like?" The nice ice cream man asked us.

"One rocky-road please." I answered him.

"And what would you like, little missy?" The man asked Akeno.

"Um...I would like some strawberry, please." Akeno answered the man with her cute voice. The man just chuckled and gave us our ice cream. We then walked to a nearby bench where we can eat our ice cream. On our way, Akeno accidentally dropped her ice cream.

"Awww...I really wanted to eat that." Her eyes started to water and she was on the verge of crying. Man, I hate seeing Akeno sad. I knew I had to do something to stop her from crying. I know! I'll give her mine!

"Hey...don't worry...you can have mine if you want." I said as I handed my ice cream to her.

"Huh?...But Ise-san, don't you want your ice cream?" Akeno asked me as she started to wipe her tears.

"Nah...it's okay. All I want is to see my friend happy." I reassured her.

She smiled and gave me a hug.

"Thank you, Ise-san. You're a great friend." Akeno said while hugging me.

"Your welcome, Akeno." I replied back to her. She let go of me and I gave her the ice cream. She gave it a lick and her smile grew.

"So, how's the ice cream." I asked. She kept licking the ice cream with glee. She looked at me and smiled."It's really good." She said. I grinned, knowing that she liked it.

After Akeno ate the ice cream, Akeno told me that we needed to buy something. I don't know what she needed to buy, but she told me that her mom wants her to buy some type of clothing. We walked around town. Akeno was running through a crowd and I was right behind her.

"Hey Akeno! Wait up!" I yelled to her.

"Hurry up, Ise-san" She yelled back

I eventually caught up to her. "Hey Akeno. What do you need to buy?"

She looked at me and giggled."You'll see. Hehehe." That still left me confused. What is she going to buy?

When we reached the clothing store, Akeno quickly rushed to the...underwear section. I walked over to her and I noticed that she already picked out all sorts of undergarments.

"Here, Ise-kun. Hold on to these while I try them out, okay?" She asked sweetly.

"Um...o-okay, A-akeno." I stammered while she gave me the underwear. Normally, I love it whenever I get women's underwear, but I knew I had to be a gentleman to Akeno. After all, she is my best friend. And her father, Baraqiel, would likely be unhappy with me if I were to be lecherous towards Akeno. She then went inside the changing room and I waited for a couple of minutes. When she came out, my jaw dropped and my nose started bleeding at the sight of my best friend. She was wearing nothing more than a dark purple bra and a pair of dark purple panties.

"How do I look, Ise-san?" She asked me while doing a little twirl. My nosebleed has gotten worse and now the blood is flowing even more than before. Curse my dirty mind.

"Ummm...it...um...l-looks...um..." I couldn't find words to describe how attractive she looked. I don't want to say that she looks sexy in it, which she does. But I'm afraid that she might slap me for being a pervert. Akeno then giggled and looked at me...with lust in her eyes.

"Ara ara. You're thinking naughty thoughs about me, aren't you Ise-kun?" Akeno said while giggling.

"N-no I'm not!" I yelled out while blushing really hard. Akeno just giggle again."You can't hide it, Ise-san. I know that you're a little pervert. Don't worry, though. I don't really mind if you are one." She said to me.

"So wait...you're not gonna be mad at me because I'm a pervert?" I asked her.

"Of course not. You're my first and best friend ever. Why on Earth would I ever get mad at you?" She asked me.

"Well I could think of a few reasons." I told her, still looking away from her with a bloody nose. I was to busy thinking with my back turned from her, when she suddenly hugged me! I can feel her oppai touching my back!

"You know Issei...Since your such a perv, I think it will be easier for me to tease you." Tease me?! What does she mean by tease me?!

"Um...Akeno...I...um..." I was stuttering some more and my nose started to bleed again. Again, Akeno just giggled.

"Don't worry, Issei. I won't do anything lewd with you. I was just having some fun with you." Akeno reassured me. I sighed. If this is what I have to deal with Akeno, so be it. I also noticed that Akeno can be a sadist at times. She must have developed that personality from either her mother or her father, Baraqiel. I have met his father once, three days after me and Akeno have known each other.

At first, he was concerned about me hitting on Akeno doing filthy things with her body, but I told him that I don't plan to do anything like that with Akeno. I just want to hang out with her and be friends. After that, he started to be calmer around me and had trusted me to protect his daughter. Of course, I promised him that I would do all I can to protect Akeno whenever something happens in the future. Nevertheless, I got along with Baraqiel just fine.

Though one thing did confuse me. What is up with his name? I know I heard that name somewhere before, but I just can't put my finger on it. Eh, maybe I'll find out in the future.

Akeno was came in and out of the change room with different undergarments everytime she came out, resulting in me having more nosebleeds. God, I might die from bloodloss after we're done with this. After Akeno picked out three pairs of bras and panties that she liked and paid for them, we walked out of the store and my body started to feel weak.

"Geez, Ise-kun. You don't look so good." I knew that Akeno was worried about me, but I had to keep moving. I can't show her that I'm weak and pathetic. But I was starting to feel light-headed. It was probably due to the amount of blood I loss from the nosebleeds I gotten from staring at Akeno's half-naked body.

"No...it's fine...it's just a little...headache..." I then fell to the ground. I feel like I'm gonna faint at any moment now.

"Issei! Come on. You need to get up! We're going to the shrine where you can get some rest." I was to tired to complain, so I just let Akeno walk me to the shrine. I do feel bad for her having to lead me to the shrine, but I was to tired to stop her so I can walk by myself. When we reached the shrine, we we're met with Akeno's mother Shuri, who was suprised to see Akeno helping me walk up the steps. Once we reached the top of the steps, I was unable to hear the two of them as my head felt really dizzy and I passed out from exhaustion.

(Akeno's POV)

Oh no! Issei has fainted. Oh. I hope he is okay. I held on to Issei as my mother rushed over to me."Ara, what happened to Issei." Mother asked with a concerned tone. "He loss a lot of blood, mother. He needs to rest."I told her."Ara. Looks like it's almost nighttime. At this condition, Issei won't be able to go home for the night. I'll have to call his parents to see if it's okay for him to sleep here for the night. Akeno, why don't you tuck him to your bed while I call his parents?" She told me. "W-what? Sleep with Issei? I can't sleep with him! It would be awkward for a girl like me to sleep with a boy like Issei when we are not even lovers!"

"W-wait! He's sleeping with me mother?" I yelled to her, surprised that she was letting me sleep with Ise-kun.

"Of course, dear. Why? You don't want him to sleep in your bed?" Mothers asked me with a confused look on her face.

I shook my head while I blushed. "No, mother...it's just that I feel uncomfortable thinking about sleeping with him. I m-mean we're best friends, but I feel it would be awkward for a girl like me to sleep with a boy like Issei." I told her

"Don't worry, Akeno. I'm not saying that you should cuddle with him. All I'm asking is for you to take care of Issei until he is better." Okay. I feel a bit better now. I carried Issei all the way to my room. He sure was quite heavy. I laid him on the bed and covered half of his body with a blanket. I tried my best to quietly get on the bed while trying not to wake him up.

When I was lying on the bed, I looked at Issei to see how he was doing. My face suddenly turned red and I felt a warm sensation going through my body. "A-am I falling in love with Ise-kun? I mean he is my first and best friend. I think he is nice, brave and he never takes advantage of me. He was always there when I was sad or hurt. I just love him. I really do love him.

But I know he won't love me back. He'll probably find a girl in the future who is better than me in every possible way and date her. But what if he spends more time with another girl and abandons me?

Worse of all, what if he finds out that I'm a fallen angel? He'll think that I'm some sort of monster and he'll surely stop being friends with me. I have to keep my secret about me being a fallen angel from Issei at all costs. I want stay friends with him forever.

I will always be there for you, Issei kun. Whether your heart's broken or you are hurt in any way, I will always be there by your side to comfort you, even if you don't love me back.

I looked at the cute, sleeping Ise-kun for a bit, before giving him a kiss on the forehead. It might just be my imagination, but I though for a second that I saw Issei smirk.

"Good night, Ise-kun" I said to him as I close my eyes and fell into a deep sleep. While I was sleeping, I had a dream. A dream where I was together and happy with Ise-kun.

So what do you guys think? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Do you guys think it's total garbage? Tell what you guys think in the review section. Just no flames please. This chapter was based on Gunmare's Second Chance. Seriously, guys. check it out. It is a great read, though it is quite unfinished. JUST GO READ THE STORY, NOW! Anyway, I don't I am able to make the second chapter next week, due to the fact that I have another story to tend to, but I'll see if I have enough time to work on the next chapter.
