Chapter 1:
Akihiko Horiuchi slept in his bed, his mind shut down completely. His room was covered in posters from different animes and video games that he watched or played recently.
He was enjoying his sleep until a loud booming noise caused him to tumble out of bed comically, and landed on the floor.
"Aki-kun, get your ass out of the bed now, young man!" a female voice yelled out.
"Coming, Kaa-chan," Akihiko's voice mumbled out, still on the floor.
Groaning, he slowly stood up and stretched, yawning while doing so. His black hair swept over his warm brown eyes.
Akihiko then checked his watch and grimaced. "Shit! It's 8:15!"
He dashed downstairs, meeting the disappointed gaze of his mother and the amused gaze of his father.
His mother was a woman in her late thirties and had brown hair and blue eyes. His father was had blonde hair and brown eyes. He was in his forties.
His mother continued glaring at him. "Akihiko Horiuchi! Why do you continue to sleep in?! It does you no good!"
Akihiko's father waved off his mother's concern. "Ma, ma, Akira-chan. It's nothing serious." He then gulped when Akihiko's mother turned her heated glare towards him now. "Seiji-kun, this is serious! Aki-kun can't keep doing this. He's spending all this time on manga and video games and it's destroying his education! He needs to stop."
Akihiko looked at his mother like she told him the world was ending. "But Kaa-chan! I can't! It's my fix, I need it."
Akihiko's mother looked like she was about to yell again, but his father saved him. "Now, now dear. Let's not berate him too much. He still has school to go to."
Both of them realizing that, his mother forgot what she was going to say, and Akihiko himself dashed out of the house, wearing the Kuoh Academy school uniform, and grabbed a spare bento filled with food along the way. "Bye!"

Akihiko sighed as he was now walking to school. He was glad that he was now on time coming to school or the Student Council would kill him. Or worse, his parents.
As he reached the school gates, Akihiko was reminded about the boy/girl ratio in the school. The school remodelled a couple of years ago. Now it was a mixed school, albeit with more girls than boys. Because of this, the school quickly became a pervert's fantasy land.
Akihiko considered himself helpful to students, tutoring them when needed. Academically he was gifted, but he got distracted by manga pretty quickly. It was a habit of his, so he didn't bother changing it.
As he headed inside the school building he didn't notice the pair of looks he was getting from two of the school's idols from afar: Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima.
Rias was a beautiful young girl, with flowing crimson hair, turquoise/green eyes, and a voluptuous body that has become the dreams of many young men and even some girls.
Rias spoke up when Akihiko was out of sight. "Who was that?"
This was directed to the girl beside her, Akeno. She was also beautiful, with long, black hair that was tied with an orange ribbon, violet eyes, and a voluptuous body that rivalled even Rias's. "That's Akihiko Horiuchi. He's a second year that sometimes tutors other students when they need help." Akeno replied to her friend. Rias nodded when she heard this.
"Interesting…"

"Well, time's up, Kiryu-san," Akihiko said. He was tutoring the glasses-wearing black haired girl, who smiled thankfully at him. Both of them were in an empty classroom that they were using for tutoring.
"Thanks for the help Akihiko-kun. I'd be in trouble if it weren't for you," Kiryu said with a smile. Inside however, she leered. While she did need help, she was mainly using this as an excuse to spend time with him. She also looked at him, her glasses gleaming.
Remembering that she was also a pervert (albeit a rather small one compared to the famous Perverted Trio), Akihiko excused himself and quickly left the room, their work finished. Kiryu giggled to herself softly, her eyes watching his retreating backside while he ran.
Mmm… she thought appreciatively. She had a lewd expression on her face.
Akihiko broke into a jog so he could get home quickly. He had homework to finish off and manga to read. He paused when he heard a female scream. While he would ignore it, he heard the desperation in the scream. Running towards the source, Akihiko found himself looking at a man in black pushing a black haired girl against the wall, trying to force himself on her. He didn't get a good look at the girl or the man in black, but he didn't need to think twice on the matter.
Rushing forward, Akihiko shouldered the man, breaking him away from the girl. Before the man could react, Akihiko threw a clumsy punch, knocking him back into an alley. He wanted to say that he did so looking like a badass, but he cradled his hand that was throbbing. Guess I need to learn martial arts, he thought briefly.
Seeing the man still standing and about to charge him, Akihiko crouched down, sweeping his feet from under him. The man's head landed on the ground, knocking him out.
He sighed, relieved. Who knows what would've happened if he just left the woman in the clutches of the man. He turned, about to check on the girl behind him, only to find a sharp pain in his stomach.
Confused, Akihiko looked down, only to see what looked to be a spear of light stabbed into his stomach. He looked to see where it came from, only to see it in the hands of the girl that he saved.
Alarmed, he tried to say something, anything, to ask what was going on, but instead he coughed blood, staining the ground.
"Sorry," the girl said. Suddenly, she didn't sound like a girl. The voice was more mature, and crueller, filled with malice. "You were a threat to us, so we decided to get rid of you early, as well as the Sacred Gear we suspect you have. If you want to hold a grudge, then hate the God who put the Sacred Gear inside you." The girl – no, woman – spoke with a cold smile as she pulled the light spear from his stomach, causing him to gasp sharply in pain.
Akihiko fell down, feeling so much pain. He was just aware enough to see the woman walking off, with what looked to be black wings sprouting from her back. Her wings flapped, carrying her, and she was gone, having flown off.
Akihiko groaned, turning onto his side, and holding his hand against the bleeding hole on his chest, his hands stained with the still flowing blood. I can't believe that I'm going to die because I decided to be the good gut, he thought, his concentration slipping.
He could feel his life force ebbing away. He knew he was dying.
His eyes were growing heavy as his final thoughts were, I… want to live.
Unknown to him, his wound from the light spear was closing, slowly first, then rapidly. But the damage was already done. His internal wounds were too severe to be healed in the short span of time that he had.
Out of nowhere, a crimson glow appeared, followed by a magic circle appearing no more than a few feet away from him. Out of it came Rias Gremory, with bat-like wings on her back.
"So, the Fallen Angel attacked?" she asked no one in particular. Then she took out what looked to be a Knight piece from chess. "Don't worry. You will live soon."
She placed the piece on his chest, making it sink into Akihiko's chest. After a moment, nothing happened. Confused, she took more Knight pieces and started making them sink into his chest. Still, nothing happened.
After a couple of minutes, she became frustrated. She was about to teleport to get more help when a flash of crimson appeared around Akihiko's body.
A crimson magic circle appeared underneath him, the symbol of Gremory. Then another magic circle appeared, overlapping the previous circle. This was purple, and unfamiliar to Rias.
Then the eight Knight pieces that Rias used to revive him rose up out of his chest, shocking her. As she watched, in a flash of purple, the Knight pieces were now purple, also becoming Mutation Pieces. Rias watched, confused, as purple energy seeped out of the Pieces, and into Akihiko. The process took about one minute, and then the Pieces fell down onto the ground beside his dead body, now grey and empty of power.
Rias looked on, confused as to what happened. "What just… happened?" she asked, befuddled.
Thinking on addressing the problem later, she picked Akihiko up, teleporting him through her magic circle, taking him home.
Little did she know, that she just committed a grievous mistake.
Greetings, readers and reviewers! Kronium345 here with a new story! I know I still have Arcane Chaos, but I decided to write a Highschool DxD fic. Why? Just because.
So this is an OC fic. I'll try to make it more original than other DxD fics, but we'll see.
It's also a harem fic (obviously) so this time you can vote on some members who can be put in. I won't put Rias in, but that's not a definite decision.
Also, if the Japanese is incorrect or wrong, just tell me, as I'm not really good at it. I won't put it in if it looks terrible.
