...

The bedroom was filled with the sort of things expected of a teenage boy, from the few anime posters on the walls to the games console that was set up in front of the fairly large TV that sat in the corner on the room. The bed was a Queen's size western bed and didn't seem to clutter up the large bedroom, blue sheets over it hiding the occupants of it.

The alarm clock on the bedside table changed to show 7:00am moments before the alarm started to beep out loudly. A few moments passed before a slender feminine tanned arm reached out from under the covers, groping around for the alarm clock before managing to silence it with a thud.

The arm withdrew back under the covers before re-establishing its hold on the brown-haired teenage boy who the owner of the arm was cuddled up next to. The teenage boy's eyes groggily opened, the alarm having woken him, to find himself looking at the peaceful smiling face of the well endowed young woman before him, her long silver hair easily reaching her waist.

He was aware that he was in the death hug of the girl as he felt her ample chest, which was only covered by a thin sleeping shirt, press against his own and her head resting on the pillow next to him and a leg thrown over his waist possessively.

"Come on Akemi-chan…" The brunette groggily spoke as he tried to free himself from her hold before finding himself pulled on top of her as she sleepily mumbled something.

[Looks like you're enjoying yourself…] A male voice spoke up from the brunette's mind, causing him to blush as he mentally replied

'It's too early for your jokes, Hermos' Hermos had started speaking up just about the same time he'd become comfortable with the silver-haired beauty next to him, although the dragon seemed to enjoy Kichirou's embarrassment at these sort of times.

An unhappy moan came from the young woman before she opened her deep blue eyes to roam around the room before settling the brunette atop of her as she smiled flirty to him as she spoke "Oh…you should've woken me Kichi-kun if you wanted to do something"

Kichirou, or Kichi to Akemi, blushed as he looked down at her, gulping as he turned his eyes away from the tantalizing cleavage on display as he called embarrassed "Akemi-chan!"

Akemi giggled, drawing Kichirou close before kissing him on the cheek, giving him a quick squeeze before releasing him from her hold. Kichirou moving to gather his clothes before heading to the shower as Akemi sat up to watch him.

She sighed happily as he left the room, her original mission was to see if his Sacred Gears were dangerous but she'd nearly forgotten about that upon meeting the introverted boy. Once her mission had been completed, which she'd said he wasn't dangerous or a threat given that Kichirou was too kind for his own good, she'd asked to remain with him to allow her to keep an eye on him.

She blushed as she stood up, stretching her athletic five foot eight frame, as she remembered Azazel's comment that shorter guys had grown more elsewhere to make up for it before agreeing that she should stay with him. Little did she know that he'd seen how much Kichirou relied on her emotionally without his parents being around, when he'd spied on them for an afternoon, his curiosity having gotten the better of him at the time.

She left the bedroom, heading down the hallway to her own decent sized room so she could get dressed for there first day of school. Kichirou had been persistent with saying that he wanted to go to school and his parents had decided that as long as Akemi was with him he could settle in Kuoh and go to school there.

Akemi's smile grew as she looked at the uniform for Kuoh Academy, the ideas of how she could tease her friend/little brother figure with it as she started to get dress. She would be in the second year with him and hopefully in the same class as him otherwise she would feel slightly out-of-place and worried about what the devils in the school would try and do to her although Azazel had given her a ring, that was meant to dampen her Fallen Angel aura so it would blend in fairly easily, which she wore on the middle finger of her left hand, Kichirou wearing an identical ring on the same finger and hand to avoid his Sacred Gears aura from drawing attention.

…

Kichirou finished his shower with a sigh; he couldn't get use to Akemi's teasing although he enjoyed her being around as it made him feel loved and wanted, unlike his parents who put work ahead of everything else even if it was his birthday or Christmas.

Stepping out of the shower he looked around the well furnished bathroom, his parents had really gone all out to make sure he would have a comfortable living space while at school. The apartment itself covered the space of two and consisted of two big bedrooms (his own and Akemi's), a large kitchen/dining room, a large bathroom that had a bath which could fit three people at his guess (not that he'd have the confidence to test his theory) and a large living room which had its own entertainment system and the latest consoles and tech, several comfortable sofas positioned around the room as well.

Drying himself off quickly with a large white fluffy towel, Kichirou started to get dressed for his first day at school. His nerves were on edge as he'd never been to one before, his parents opting to have him home tutored to the point that he probably already knew the material that would be covered there, but he wanted to see what it was like and as long as Akemi was nearby he would cope.

He'd been practically mute before he'd met her, only speaking if it was important and given the different countries he'd been to it wasn't like they would understand Japanese, Italian or English all the time. The other reason was he just found people frightening which had taken Akemi months to get him comfortable around her and part of him suspected it was because she was a Fallen Angel, meaning she was different from most people herself. He'd found out from Hermos when the Dragon had awoken and was later confirmed by her once she'd been caught coming back from reporting.

Looking at himself in the mirror Kichirou saw his brown hair spiked all towards his crown aside from his fringe which parted over his right eye and reached down to just past the top of his emerald green eyes. His five foot six frame was dressed in black slacks, a white pinstriped shirt which he'd left the top button undone (not wanting to feel strangled by the shirt) and a grey blazer.

Leaving the bathroom, he made sure to put the blue pajamas he'd been wearing before into the washing basket just outside the door. Entering the kitchen Kichirou saw Akemi dressed in the female version of the uniform, his cheeks reddened at seeing how it flattered her figure and just from looking at it he had a feeling it had been designed by a pervert who was just managing to scrape by regulations and common decency.

She had a pinstriped long-sleeved shirt which had a black ribbon tied into a bow around the collar, a short ruffled wine colored skirt which seemed a few inches shy of being obscene and a waistcoat of the same colour that seemed to wrap around her waist and if she hadn't been wearing the shirt her assets would've been clearly on display. She finished off the look with black stockings, a pair of black smart shoes and a white apron as she was putting the finishing touches on breakfast.

"Smells delicious…" Kichirou spoke with a smile, Akemi hanging up the apron before gesturing for him to sit down, taking the seat opposite him as she spoke with a teasing smile

"So how do I look?"

"…G-Good…R-Really good, Akemi-chan" Kichirou spluttered embarrassingly as her smile grew and cheeks reddened as she spoke carefree

"Yeah…I would've liked to go in my maid uniform but you wouldn't last the day would you" Kichirou coughed for a few moments, Akemi had once or twice been dressed as a maid to try to give Kichirou the air of importance at some really posh events which his parents had forced him along to and had received many unusual looks from others his age.

Kichirou nodded in response, continuing to eat as he tried to calm the blush on his cheeks as Akemi giggled as she spoke "You're so cute when you're embarrassed"

…

The walk to school was confusing for Kichirou as he walked with Akemi next to him, smiling nervously as she held his previously shaking hand. He didn't know much about Kuoh Academy but he'd had been told it was a co-ed school which led to his current question.

'Why are there more girls than boys?' The girls that were walking along before them kept looking back at the pair, blushing and then going back to whatever they were talking about, quietly so they couldn't be heard. The group behind them was talking in hushed tones as well, as they looked annoyed at Akemi, who was aware of the cuteness Kichirou exuded almost naturally from his shyness and the jealousy she was drawing from the other girls.

"Are you alright, Kichi-kun?" Akemi asked, drawing his attention more by squeezing his hand as Kichirou blushed and nodded as he replied

"I'm just wondering why everyone's looking at us"

"Well isn't it obvious…you and me are new students and walking hand in hand…it gives them quite the impression about us" Akemi spoke with a mischievous wink which caused Kichirou's face to color in realization as she decided to add for fun

"Plus you're a cutie so why wouldn't they want to look at you" Kichirou's face turned beet red as he turned his gaze to the floor as Akemi giggled quietly to herself before drawing his attention back again as she spoke

"Looks like we're here" Kichirou looked up to see the school grounds filled with mostly girls who were chatting friendly in their groups while the few groups of boys were ogling the girls or pointing out those they lusted after from the crowds.

"L-Let's find out w-which class we're in" Kichirou spoke, taking the first step on to the campus and freezing as if something major had happened as most of the students looked towards the pair. Akemi quickly looped her arm around his as she led the introverted brunette into the main campus, her smile growing at some of the comments she was hearing from girls about Kichirou while making a mental note to avoid leaving him alone with most of the guys who were cursing the boy's luck.

…

The crimson haired third year watched curiously with her black-haired friend as Kichirou was being led into the main building by Akemi. Some inkling told her that both new students were different although she couldn't place it at the moment.

"Akeno….see what you can find out about our new students" The crimson haired girl spoke, noticing a confused look from the black-haired girl who nodded before replying

"Alright, Buchou…Is this one of your 'feelings'?"The crimson haired girl nodded, aware that her intuition usually perked up when someone or something that would be beneficial to her showed up and the two students that had gone by had triggered it.

…

Kichirou gulped from where he stood near the door to his classroom, mentally cursing whoever decided upon which class new students were assigned to as Akemi was in a different one to himself and then tried to get the receptionist to change it with little luck.

Steeling his nerves and affixing a calm look on his face, although it looked more nervous than he would've liked, he opened the door to hear the middle-aged teacher speaking out to the class, turning and recalling about the brunette as he spoke "…Ah class, today we're having a new student…"

Kichirou moved into the room, standing at the front as he kept his hands in his pockets to avoid them fidgeting about as he spoke "I-I'm Tendo Kichirou…P-Please take care of me"

He gave them a small bow, girls squealing 'Kawaii' and other comments about him, which cause him to feel embarrassed, while the few boys glared at him making him shrink slightly until they stopped by the girls that was glaring at them in response. The teacher brought back everyone's attention as he spoke "Tendo-san…please take the free seat next to Katase-san"

The pink haired girl held her hand up, smiling friendly to Kichirou who nodded as he moved to take the seat next to the window, Katase turning to him with a smile as she spoke "If there's anything I can help you with, please just ask Tendo-san"

"A-Alright Katase-san" Kichirou replied nervously, sitting down in his seat and not noticing the other girls glares at Katase who had a smirk on her face at being the first to speak with him, despite what most had seen that morning with Akemi.

The teacher started his lesson, Kichirou finding that he'd already covered the material that he was teaching at the moment. The brown-haired boy opting to chat with Hermos about the odd feeling the dragon had been giving out from the moment they'd stepped onto the campus.

…

Akemi silently gulped where she sat near the back of the classroom that she was sharing with at least three devils. From what she'd been able to gleam so far none of them had noticed her difference or had shown it which didn't make her feel any better.

Two of the devils were blonde haired boys, one she'd overheard being called the 'Handsome Prince' while the other worked for the student council and had practically ogled her, like all the boys aside from the Prince, from the moment she'd stepped into the room. The girls had gossiped as many were speculating that she was dating Kichirou or as they were calling him the cute brunette she had been with while the boys seemed to be having their own little fantasies about her or planning to ask her out.

Azazel had told her that there were four other fallen angels in town that were working on discovering about a Sacred Gear user that was possibly the Red Dragon Emperor although that was only supposed to be recon. The perverted leader had asked her to keep an eye out seeing that they did their mission properly as there were rumors of a traitor in there mitts.

…

When lunch came Akemi smiled, chatting with a few girls as she left her classroom to head to Kichirou's, aware of a few girls and guys trailing behind her out of curiosity for where she was going with the large clothe covered box.

Entering Kichirou's classroom, Akemi noticed a trio of boys near the back stare at her in shock before finding Kichirou being bombarded with questions. His eyes moving around as he tried to answer as best as possible despite being overwhelmed by it all before they locked on to her own as she put on a mock pout as she spoke "I can't believe your already chatting up the girls, Kichi-kun"

"I-I wasn't A-Akemi-chan…" Kichirou replied; his cheeks red as the girls were in a state of shock around him at the honorific he'd used, some blushing at the implied meaning of what Akemi had said. The trio of boys at the back cursed Kichirou's existence very loudly but that was shot down by the other girls glaring at them. Akemi giggled to herself as she took the empty seat in front of Kichirou's desk and placed the large bento box on it.

"Well let's have some lunch then…" She spoke with a bright smile before turning to the girls, most who had retreated upon learning the fact the shy brunette was out of there grasp given his closeness to Akemi, as she added to the few that remained

"You can join us if you want" Katase moved a chair to sit with them, her brown-haired friend sitting down also and introduced herself as Murayama.

The quartet chatted friendly, Kichirou slowly growing in confidence around the two new girls as Akemi and he learnt the school politics, who the most popular students were and who to stay away from which was mainly the perverted trio.

The pair of girls had found out that this was Kichirou's first school day ever, seeing as he had been home tutored before, along with a rough version of how he'd met Akemi although leaving out the fact they lived together to avoid more rumors.

Had any of the quartet cast their gazes towards the door they would've noticed a white-haired girl a year younger than them looking into the classroom for a few moments with her golden eyes, a neutral expression on her face as she looked over the pair of new students.

…

The rest of the school day passed by uneventfully, Kichirou only slightly more comfortable with his fellow classmates while Akemi was enjoying hearing the early blossoming gossip about herself and Kichirou, some of which she'd caused by taking a rogue bit of rice that had been on the boy's cheek with a kiss before heading back to her own classroom, leaving Kichirou red-faced as he sat at his desk as he watched her leave. Katase and Murayama had giggled at his reaction, obvious to them that the teenage boy wasn't use to intimate actions from her.

Currently Akemi was waiting for Kichirou at the entrance of the main building, her eyes gazing over the crowd of students that left before her eyes settled on one of the perverted trio, Hyodo Issei. Her curiosity had been drawn not by him but by the black haired girl that was giving him puppy dog eyes and one of the fakest smiles she'd ever seen, her senses telling her that the girl was one of the Fallen Angels who'd been sent here.

It seemed weird that a Fallen would come into contact with their target just for a recon mission, with her own one it had been her choice to get close to Kichirou and try to help him.

"Akemi-chan?" Kichirou's voice brought her back from her thoughts, turning with a bright smile to the brunette next to her as she asked

"Got everything, Kichi-kun?" Kichirou nodded after a few moments of mentally checking, tentatively taking Akemi's hand before they started to walk off campus.

…

Akeno Himejima and her master, Rias Gremory, watched the pair of new students leave as the former explained what she knew about them

"Tendo Kichirou and Jurai Akemi…Tendo-kun's never been to school before but according to the entrance exams he's smarter then most of the second years although there's some kind of power inside of him…"

"A Sacred Gear...?" Rias asked, turning to her friend who answered as she shook her head

"I don't know something interfered when I was checking for one…Jurai-san seems to be half fallen and has known Tendo-kun for five years, they're also living together. There records seem normal otherwise" Rias arched her eyebrow at that moment, something in Akeno's voice had seemed off maybe her friend was jealous that a half fallen could have a happy life with someone.

Pondered on it for a few moments, Rias realized that Tendo had some sort of power inside him which she suspected was a Sacred Gear possibly a low level one like what she thought Issei's had, as they'd not got a good reading on that either. Jurai she thought was just a normal girl who'd got drawn in by Tendo.

"Let's keep an eye on them both for now…" Rias spoke, Akeno nodding with a smile as they headed to the clubroom.

…

Hyodo Issei practically skipped home in joy never had he expected to be confessed to by a cute girl like Amano Yuuma.

'I'm so going to have fun torturing those two over this' He thought with a grin, it was Matsuda's and Motohama's fault for leaving him to get beaten up by the Kendo club and he would make them hate the fact he was above them now.

Already Issei was planning to prepare for his date with Yuuma, hoping that he could make it the best he could, seeing as it was his first and his perverted nature probably wouldn't draw in anyone better, although he could still dream.

…

Kichirou stifled a small yawn as he walked back towards home, having forgotten that they needed some things in on their way back from school. Akemi had to go report in with her higher-ups, something to do with one of them approaching their target, and left once she had known the coast was clear stating that they'd been followed by Devil who was interested in him.

Glancing around the empty streets as he checked the plastic bag of groceries in his left hand, Kichirou wondered if he wasn't being followed now although since Hermos hadn't said anything he suspected not.

[That girl with the bust to rival Akemi's is following you] Hermos spoke up with an amused tone as his host blushed, remembering that he'd taken to pointing the devils out for Kichirou.

'You mean Himejima-sempai' Kichirou mentally replied as he continued to head home, feeling more self-conscious of his surrounding as Hermos spoke up

[Yeah...but as long as she's just watching there no point you worrying about it] Kichirou felt slightly better about that, knowing that she wasn't out to hurt him, although the idea of being stalked wasn't exactly appealing to him especially by one of the two idols of the school.

Waiting at the crossroads for the traffic to pass, he found himself surprised as a young woman with long dark blue hair spoke up from next to him "Excuse me, do you have the time?"

[Watch out…] Hermos warned, Kichirou smiling slightly nervously as he pulled his phone from out of his pocket and spoke

"It's eight, miss" The young woman nodded to herself with a happy smile, her eyes glancing around as she spoke

"Thank you…and I'm sorry" Before Kichirou could ask why he found pain pierce his stomach, falling over in pain as she spoke

"Blame God for the Sacred Gear inside of…" She started before being interrupted as she was forced to dodge a bolt of thunder, quickly sprouting her black feathered wings as she flew away, having to dodge several more thunder attacks and suffering several injuries.

[Damn it!] Hermos shouted angrily, wishing he could trigger his power himself and help the black-haired devil kill off the fallen that had attacked his host.

Akeno rushed up to Kichirou, finding he was breathing shallowly, as she watched the dagger sized spear of light disperse. Sending a message via magical circle to her master she sat the brunette up with one hand on his back while the other moved to his stomach and with a little magic, a layer of ice covering the wound to stop his blood loss as she spoke softly to him "Hold on, Tendo-kun."

"Kichirou!" Akemi shouted in shock as she rushed up the pair, glaring at Akeno as she pulled him from her hold, she'd decided to meet up with him on his way back only to see what had happened to him, rubbing a couple of unshed tears as she pulled him tightly to her chest, Akeno feeling jealous suddenly as she watched the pair.

"A-ke-mi-chan" Kichirou started weakly, Akemi looking down to him with an asking look, seeing him smile slightly as he added

"Thank…you…"

"I can save him if you want…" Rias spoke solemnly from behind Akemi, Akeno stood next to her as the silver-haired fallen spoke annoyed

"You want his power don't you….?"

"Yes…" Rias answered; there wasn't much point in denying it as it was the reason Akeno had been following him in the first place.

"Fine…but I want to make sure you don't take advantage of him" Akemi replied, her two sets of Fallen wings spreading from her back and causing both she-devils to step back in surprise before Rias nodded. Akemi laid him back down and stepping back as Rias took out her Evil Pieces.

Author's Notes

Hope you find this interesting and just couldn't get rid of the idea and thought it was worth having a go.

As for Kichirou he has three Sacred Gears: one for each Hermos, Critias and Timaeus (which are the dragons from yugioh's Waking the Dragon arc) and together I'd like to think are a fairly balance set. I may give Issei another Sacred Gear although what I'm not sure.

As for who's going to be with who this is what I've got so far.

Kichirou: Akemi, Akeno, Xenovia, Serafall, Sona, Tsubaki, Rossweisse, (may include Raynare or Mitlett) (WIP)

Issei: Asia, Irina, (WIP)

Suggestions are welcome for additions or changed (would like to include girls from other animes as well but who I've no clue)
