James McGuinness stared at the black haired violet eyed girl in front of him.

"Please go out with me." The girl who introduced herself as Yuuma Amano said.

Dark forest green eyes widened in surprise, but he had no reason to refuse her and who knows maybe it could grow into a real relationship something his friends had been pestering him about.

"I would love to go on a date with you." He answered with a small smile.

The next day James was walking through the shopping district in his normal black jeans and white shirt. He was stopped by a woman in some kind of costume, she handed him a flyer with some type of magic circle on it. She told him something along the lines of his wishes coming true before moving on. James decided to pocket the flyer and take a proper look at it later, it seemed interesting. Maybe it was some kind of game promotion, or a coupon for some type of shop.

Meeting up with Yuuma the two spent the day shopping, watching a movie and going to a restaurant. Finally at the end of the date the two were walking back when Yuuma stopped. James stopped and turned to her.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes," Yuuma said with a smile. "There's just something I want to do to celebrate our first date."

"Oh and what's that?" James asked thinking maybe something along the lines of a kiss, boy was he wrong.

"Will you die for me?"

Black wings burst out from Yuuma's back; next her clothes shredded themselves leaving her completely naked until new clothing formed on her body. Black straps appeared around and under her breasts, a thong held around her hips by three thin straps, gloves that run right up her arms and black thigh-high heel boots completed her new appearance.

James stared, to be completely honest that was all he could do at the moment. That was until the whole shock of the whole stripper/bdsm outfit moment passed then he simply sighed.

"Once, just once can I have a date that doesn't go crazy?" He muttered flashbacks of horrible dates running through his head making him more depressed by the second.

Yuuma was slightly confused by his reaction. Wasn't he supposed to be shocked? Maybe trembling in fear or something along those lines, wasn't he just a normal human with no connections to the supernatural? Well it didn't matter she had a mission to complete and she would complete it. Forming a spear of purple light she then threw it at James who was too far gone in his depression to notice.

"Ahhhhhh!" The slightly girlish scream of agony that came from James as he fell backwards was perfectly understandable, that was probably the normal reaction for having a spear shoved through your stomach.

"If you want to blame anyone for this then blame the god that left the sacred gear inside you." Yuuma said before flying off.

James closed his eyes and took a deep breath causing more pain but he needed it to steady himself. With his eyes closed however he missed the bright light and the magic circle that appeared next to him. However there was no way he could miss what happened next.

"You are the one who called me right?"

Opening his eyes James stared in surprise at the form materialising from some kind of magic circle design. It was Rias Gremory, a girl from the same school that he went to Kuoh Academy. With her thigh length crimson red hair, blue-green eyes and buxom figure there was no mistaking her.

"Looks like you're dying, that wound….it seems the situation is interesting."

There was some kind of humour in her tone, but not the sadistic type that was enjoying seeing him in pain.

"If you're dying then I'll take care of you. Your life will belong to me, you will live for me."

Okay whatever she was going to do James didn't want any part of it. He had seen to many things just to ignore a statement like that. He shocked Rias by quickly standing up and with a groan of pain pulled the light spear out of his body; it was at that moment the spear faded away.

Rias was shocked as the person who was supposed to be dying swiftly got to his feet. She was even more shocked seeing him pull the light spear from his body, but what came next was more shocking. The wound in his body, the hole which actually went straight through his body started to close up. Within a few seconds she was staring at nothing more than fresh skin surrounded by blood. Just who was James McGuinness?

Muttering to himself James turned around and started making his way home. Luckily he wasn't that far away, and at this time the area would pretty much be empty so he would have no problems with people seeing his torn and bloody clothes.

"Wait?!"

James stopped and turned to look at the red haired girl staring at him. "Yes?"

"How were you able to heal yourself like that?" Rias asked. "A normal human can't do that."

James had enough and expanded his senses, all of them and looked into her mind, her consciousness then sighed. Telepathy was a useful ability but it could be annoying hearing others thoughts all the time so he rarely used it, at least compared to his other skills. In that brief moment in her mind he was able to learn enough about the situation to know things were going to get more complicated. Like how Rias Gremory was actually a devil, that she was about to turn what she thought was the dying James into a devil by something called the evil piece system and after seeing his little display just now wanted him in her peerage even more.

"You cannot tell the depth of the river, until you see the bottom." James said smiling, thank you Oma for your brilliantly annoyingly cryptic quotes. They are useful even in these situations.

"What?" Rias asked confused.

"That's generally the same reaction most people give, but maybe you'll understand one day. It was a pleasure meeting you Rias Gremory, have a good night." James then faded out of existence.

Ten minutes later he entered his house and reappeared in the hallway. Looking down at his arm he couldn't help but smile, most people would only see a white, sapphire and silver slim wrist strap. People when they see it think it's only an accessory, but it was much more than just a simple piece of fashion. One of its functions was a personal cloaking device, invisibility on demand.

"I need some sleep; I have a feeling I'm going to need all the rest I can get to deal with what's coming." James muttered and with a sigh headed to his bedroom.

It was at that moment he disappeared in a flash of white.
