Okay so this is a different form of my other Fanfic Highschool DxD: New Lives. I've basically made changes and shifted some general things so it isn't a exact copy of New Lives.
Chapter 1
Third Person POV
A young boy with brown hair and eyes sighed as he opened his eyes. The boy known to most as Issei Hyodou stood reaching under his bed pulling out a bag as he left the room he was put in, no more than 3 hours ago he and his parents had been caught in a car crash, at least that was what the Humans believed, Issei let out a amused chuckle, Humans believed many things, but he'd seen the event for what it was, an skirmish between the Christian Church and The Devils, a Devil had been attacked and his comrades fought to protect him, the Exorcists believing they were in the right to kill Devils attacked on sight and in the skirmish Issei had glimpsed a Demonic spell fly then he saw the unsually familiar bat-like wings of the Devils and before he blacked out he saw a clash of a light and demonic power. He awoke with memories of his past, who he truly was, as 14 black Devil wings spread from the boys back he let out a smile of both happiness at his revelation and sadness at the deaths that happened to those who had raised him for six full years. Shaking his head he had a single thought,
'Satan is back for another round.' He chuckled.
[And he's not alone.] A rough Draconic voice added in his mind.
A year later
Issei ducked into another alleyway as the man that he'd conned tried to find him. He'd become a successful conman in the time he'd spent running from the Human's that wanted him in an orphanage. He'd made a sizable amount of money from his adventures all of which he added to his fun in a personal pocket dimension. He was currently wondering what to do next as he'd only begun this because he felt the need to find somewhere influential. As he turned a corner he ducked behind cover as he found himself watching a group of Devils and a group of Vampires fighting.
"You're entertained?" A familiar voice asked.
"Huh?" Issei turned and was met with the visage of a girl appearing to be a similar age to his Vessel's own.
She had skin like skin like porcelain, a doll-like face, white hair and crimson eyes, she wore a small black dress and was barefoot for some odd reason.
"Are you entertained by this "scuffle"?" She asked her voice void of emotion and saying scuffle as if she hated to overstate what it was.
"I'm not sure." Issei informed his mind finally recognizing the girl, who was in a form he rarely saw when they had last seen each other.
"If you are unsatisfied I could... eradicate them." She said her eyes gaining a small glow and fangs were now more noticeable as she spoke.
"That won't be necessary Lucia." Issei ordered, which to most would seem comical that he spoke to her as if he was a King ordering a servant.
"Very well Master, do you wish to watch? Do you want refreshments? I could obtain food or drink for you?" The female Vampire asked him gaining a nervous posture.
"That will not be necessary Lucia, do tell why you chose to use that form?" Issei asked.
"It allowed me to gain clues to you whereabouts." She answered.
'She hasn't changed, but I guess having only one objective in your life must give her a narrow chance for change.' Issei sighed internally.
The two sat there as Issei watched the battle eventually seeing the Vampires retreat before they could be defeated.
"What do you wish to do Master?" She asked when the Vampires were out of sight.
"Please take an older form, I wish to have some fun." Issei smirked.
"Transform." She said and her body was engulfed in shadows and when they receeded in their place was a girl in her mid-twenties.
"Now follow me." Issei said as he walked toward the celebrating Devils.
"Well done, excellent show." Issei said clapping slowly as he and the Vampire girl, Lucia, emerged from the shadows.
"Huh? A kid?" One asked.
"What?! Another Vampire?!" The entire group immediately went on edge.
It was a group of 5, the leader was a teen with black hair and grey eyes, he wore a red button up shirt, blue jeans and boots, with a sword at his side.
Beside him was a teen with blue hair and violet eyes wearing a black T-shirt, jeans, black leather boots, and a black leather jacket, he also wore gloves with studs on his knuckles.
With them was another teen, this one female, had brown hair and blue eyes wearing a skintight bodysuit with a sword at her side.
The fourth was a another female teen with silver hair and blue eyes, she wore a white kimono and atop her head was a pair of wolf ears the same color as her hair and a wolf tail of the same color waved behind her.
The last was another teen with black hair and eyes, he wore a simple white T-shirt, blue jeans, some simple shoes, and carried a wooden staff with blades on either side.
"Who are you and what are you doing with a Vampire?" The leader asked drawing his blade.
"I've got quite a few names and titles, sadly in my diminutive form I have yet to truly reach the point I used to be at, you may call me Issei." The young appearing boy said.
"And the Vampire?" The man in the leather jacket asked.
Instead of speaking she simply shifted her dress and soon part of her breast(which Issei offhandedly noticed were back to the size he remembered them to normally be) and there rested a Devil Family's crest, in the center of a magic circle was black flame behind a gothic S.
"That symbol?!" The leader said looking between Issei and Lucia panicked.
"If you are worried about me attacking you, I cannot act without Master's permission." Lucia stated.
"Master?" The women asked in unison looking to Issei.
"So, who are you Young Devil?" Issei asked internally laughing at the leader's expression.
"Sirius Valac." He answered.
"I see, very well I'll be watching out to see how you turn out, you're a promising one." Issei then turned.
"Lucia, we're going to meet an old friend." Issei ordered and as he began walking Lucia gave the young Devil peerage a emotionless look(which caused them to tense) and turned to follow Issei.
3 years later
Issei now appearing to be around 9 years old stood outside a facility run by the church with Lucia at his side as she had been for the entirety of the last 3 years, entering silently the duo snuck through the building and found their target, opening the door to a room of children from the ages ranging of 8 to 15. Issei with his red T-shirt, black pants, red shoes, and the black cloak he wore would have made him intimidating had he been older and thus taller, but Lucia's gaze made a few of them shiver as they saw her gaze, however brief, on them. Like him she had changed her attire to her original outfit she had before, a all black Gothic dress that had a star shaped gap in the middle of her chest and long black sleeves each attached to her upper arm via a belt. Her thighs were visible due the dress stopping short of her stomach and several belts were strapped between her ankle and hips, accompanied by a pair of black boots.
"These are them Master, I sense few Sacred Gear users however." She said.
"It doesn't matter, they wouldn't be able to use them anyway. Listen up! You've all been deemed failures in this project and the church has decided you aren't needed, we're going to be freeing you, the elder members of this group I want you all to grab a younger member and run!" Issei ordered yelling the announcement to make sure all of them heard.
Suddenly the two heard a yell,"They're escaping!"
The eyes of the children widened and Issei let our a curse,"Lucia give them an escape route then go and stall the Church even if you have to kill those that stop you!"
Lucia nodded silently and with a wave of her hand the wall behind the children blew open. Seeing the two were actually trying to help the children began running the older ones helping the younger as they slipped away all splitting up into groups.
Lucia turned just as the guards returned and they took a step back as they came face to face with glowing crimson eyes and glinting fangs.
"A Vampire?!" One of them yelled rushing forward with a blade of light. She did nothing except grimace as the blade stabbed her and the glowing died down and darkened. Then without hesitation she sank her fangs into him and when she released him he was a husk. She had a smile on her face and blood on her cheek and some dripping from her fangs.
The other exorcists stare as she pulled the blade from her body and the wound slowly closed up.
"That stung." She stated gripping the hilt and leveling it at the other men.
"Die." She stated and in seconds each was stabbed through the chest and fell to the ground. However more only took their place meanwhile Issei was wielding two swords made out of shadows as he fought wildly.
But even with Lucia's speed and their power, some of the church members got after the children.
"Lucia, we've done all we can here, let's go and try to help a few of the children!" Issei ordered and after fighting his way to her as she dropped another drained husk of a man he grabbed her arm and the two were engulfed in shadows. They reappeared in the forest and ran after the children, soon they found the bodies of many dad children however there was one child still living among them. It was then Issei noticed the bodies of the Church staff among them as well.
She was around 9 with chestnut hair tied in a low ponytail and violet eyes, she wore a tattered white dress and was covering herself in the warm clothes of the exorcists, she held a light sword that was covered in blood and she stared at it in shock. Issei knelt over the nearest Exorcist body and began checking for items that could be helpful, growling to himself.
Lucia looked over everything and looked down,"I'm sorry Master..."
"What are you on about Lucia?" Issei asked as he began checking another body, both giving the girl a wide berth however she was watching curious.
"You wanted to save them and I failed to give them enough time to get away. I failed you and disobeyed your orders." Lucia said clenching her eyes shut as if waiting for him to punish her.
"Nonsense, we did what we could, if anything it is my fault since I am weak at the moment, now, I want you to give these children proper burials." He said and then as an afterthought, "And the Exorcists as well."
Then he turned to the curious girl.
"Hello Milady, I am Issei Hyodou and you are?" Issei asked with a low bow.
"I-Irina Shidou." She answered blushing.
"So orphan or volunteered?" Issei asked and she looked down.
"My daddy was asked that I participate and he allowed it with the condition he could pull me out if he felt I was in danger." She answered.
"I see, would you like to go home?" Issei asked as Lucia began picking up bodies her clothing covered in blood.
"Y-yes, but how?" She asked.
"I'm a powerful person Milady, think of me as a guardian." Issei informed.
"An Angel?" She asked.
"No." Issei said simply.
"A Devil?" She asked this time tensing.
"Of a sort, I Milday am a form of balance, if there is light, there must also be a dark. I simply maintain my side of the balance, making it easier on The God From the Bible, I'm a... Shall we say partner to him." Issei informed.
So as usual, I'm going to leave you all with this, I'm sure I don't need to explain what is going on yet, however questions if I can answer them, I will.
Issei's Harem(it wouldn't be DxD without one):?
