Chapter 1: A new Beginning.

Hyoudou Issei was dreaming. It was not really a dream, more like a memory. A memory he thought of everyday, for the past ten years. A memory about that day. A lot has happened since that day...the day had a genuine smile for the last time and the last time he saw his parents.

Hyoudou Issei was only seven years old with it happened. All he could remember was that his house was on fire, there was smoke everywhere so it was hard to breath and blood...crimson red blood everywhere. But Issei barely noticed the blood. All he saw was the lifeless body of his father. before him while his mother, barely alive, hugged her son while Issei looked at his dad.

His dad had a face which radiated with pure fear and shock, missing his left arm while also bleeding heavily from many stab wounds around his stomach and his chest. His mother had a faint smile on her face, which Issei couldn't see. She managed to give her seven year old son the two treasures she and her husband had held in possession for many years.

Two rings. Just two ordinary rings as far as the eyes can see. She gave them to her son while whispering these words:

"Go my Issei. Get stronger and avenge us. After you had your revenge, find yourself a new life purpose and live a good life. We love you." She gave him a last tight hug and a kiss on his forehead before she felt herself falling to the ground. She was already dead before her body had even hit the floor.

Issei looked with fear in his eyes to his now both dead parents. He than stood up, put the two rings on his two ring fingers and ran out of the burning house.

Once outside he gave one last glare at his burning house, his eyes filled with tears, fear but mostly with determination: to avenge his father and mother. He than disappeared into the night.

At sunrise, nothing of the former house remainded. The only two things were found was the ash of a father and a mother of a son who had disappeard and a black feather.

"We love you."

Those last words made Issei wake up for yet another day. The now 17 years old boy with brown spiky hair opened his hazel colored eyes and looked up against the leaves of the tree he was sleeping under.

Today would be the last day he will have to live outside. He managed to get a apartment close to his new school he would be attending, Kuoh Academy. Issei was in fact back in Kuoh although he still didn't like it there very much.

Putting his thoughts and feelings aside, he pulled himself up and walked towards the nearest lake for a short and refreshing bath. If he was going back to the city he once and now again will live in, he had to be at least a bit clean.

Taking of his shirt, which revealed his muscular chest and a well toned six-pack, his pants, his socks while leaving his boxershort on, he jumped into the cold water to clean himself in all his places.

The cold didn't bother him, he was used to it. Over the years, Issei had build up some kind of immunity against cold and extreme heat which proofed to be useful from time to time.

Once he thought he was clean enough, he got out of the water, concentrated for about halve a second and immediately after that, his whole body was covered in flames to dry himself. 1 Second later he was dry once again and dispelled the flames surrounding him.

After putting on his new clothes he bought yesterday when he shortly visited the small town to get some food and clothes with the short amount of money he had left, he sighed and started walking out of the forest with his hands in his pockets and a tired expression on his face, preparing himself to enter society once again.

Issei stood in front of his new apartment where he will be staying for the next few years, after he finished high school. It wasn't too big but also wasn't too small to make it uncomfortable.

Inside his apartment was a small living room with a kitchen attached, two bedrooms, one bathroom and he had a balcony which looked over the small town.

Issei opened the door to the balcony to take in the nice view he had from there. He could the see the school which he will be attending in a few days.

It was a really big school that first was for girls only. Since a few years, its been transformed to a co-ed school but there will still be more girls than there were boys.

Tomorrow morning, Issei had to go to the school to pick up his school uniform and his school program so he could see in which he will be and what kind of lessons he had.

But for now Issei decided to get used to his new apartment and thus he sat down on his couch to think about what he will be eating tonight.

"At least the couch is a lot softer and warmer than the cold, hard ground I had to sleep on in the forest." Issei said to himself.

Rias Gremory was sitting at her desk while a big pile of papers were in front of her, all of them were applications from people who wanted to join her club, the Occult Research Club aka the ORC.

Rias knew she wasn't going to let anyone join her club, so she lifted her left hand upwards, to which a red magic circle appeared above the pile of papers and all of them were gone in a second.

'Magic is so convenient when you need it' she thought by herself, while a girl with long black hair, which was in a ponytail, purple eyes and a chest for to which men would give their lives for to hold them, gave her a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Akeno." Rias said while looking at the black haired girl.

She gave her a little smile in return.

"Ara Ara. Still working hard I see." She said back to the crimson haired girl with blue/green eyes and a bust and hips that rivaled hers.

Rias nodded in return while sighing.

"Everyone just keeps applying while they know I won't accept them." She said with a tired look on her face.

Akeno thought for a second and than said:

"I think you should take break for today. Go out and eat somewhere. I will take over the rest of the club activities."

Rias thought for a second before nodding and saying:

"Thank you Akeno. I will you see tomorrow then."

"Bye President." Akeno said with a smile on her face while her childhoodfriend walked out of the old school buidling in which the ORC resides.

Back at Issei's new apartment, Issei came to the conclusion that he didn't wanted to cook tonight and just went outside to walk around to find a sufficient restaurent.

After a ten minute walk, Issei found a restaurant that looked good enough to his taste and wasn't really that crowded which he liked seeing this was his second visit to a town in a long time.

So Issei sat down, ordered something and waiting until his order arrived. While he was waiting he noticed that the only two people that were inside of the restaurant(the rest was outside), were him and a girl, roughly a year older than him with long crimson red colored hair and green/blue eyes.

She was sitting at a lonely table beside him and out of the corner of his eyes, he could see her looking at him with one eyebrow raised upwards while she observerd, or rather analysed, the rather handsome looking boy sitting next to her.

The girl sitting next to him, Rias of course, was in deep thought when suddenly she was awoken from her thoughts when the boy looked back at him with his hazel coloured eyes which expressed not a single bit of joy and said:

"Staring is considered rude, you know."

Rias cheeks suddenly became pink when he said that and quickly answered back:

"I-I, Im sorry. I didn't think you would notice." She said while looking away from the boy with a shade darker cheeks.

Issei stared at her for a couple of moments but than looked back to his own table where his food was now served by a young woman, only a few years older than Issei.

"Thank you." Mumbled Issei to the waitress.

"No problem, sweetheart." She said back to him with a smile on her face while her cheeks became a little pink.

Issei started eating his dinner but, yet again, he saw out the corner of his eye that the girl with crimson red hair was staring at him again. But Issei didn't say anything while he slowly ate his dinner.

After he was done, he walked to the counter, looked at the bill, which had the waitress number on it, paid and threw the bill in the trash can which was right next to the exit. He heard a disappointed sigh, probably from the waitress while he exited the restaurant and started walking to his apartment.

While walking home, Issei noticed out of the reflection from a stores window that the crimson haired girl was walking a few meters behind him.

'Could be a coincidence...or not.' Issei thought.

At the next corner street he went left...and so did she. At the next one he want right...and so did she. This continued to happen until Issei suddenly went into a small, dark alley.

Rias quickly followed the boy but to her surprise...he was gone. The small alley was only a few meters long but there was no boy.

'Where did he go...' Rias thought. She saw him enter this alley but there was no sign of him.

She quickly ran out of the alley, looking left and right and even up but there was no sign of him. He just vanished.

Defeated, Rias made her way home. Still, she thought about how the brown haired boy just disappeared into nothingness.

Back at Issei's home, Issei fell down on the couch and closed his eyes while he thought about the girl that had followed him around.

"She was no ordinary human, that's for sure." He said to himself.

"A devil." He mumbled. But after that he immediately thought:

'Crimson red hair...a Gremory...this could turn out rather fun.' He thought to himself.

But after he said fun, he completely forgot about the girl and an image of his dead parents in front of him while he was only 7 years old, appeared in his mind.

He quickly opened his eyes while trying to catch his breath. His hazel eyes were shaking in there places for a second before they reverted to eyes that could put fear in the hearts of the bravest of man.

He than suddenly stood up and walked to bed, his eyes still filled with determination.

"Tomorrow will be a interesting one." He said to himself.

At the local church of the town, there was a meeting. Not a meeting for priests since there has been no priests at the church for years but a rather different meeting.

"He is back." A voice said.

"Indeed, I saw him too when he exited the restaurant." A different voice said.

"So, now what." A third but younger voice said.

"We will end him. And take what he has for ourselfs." A fourth and more deeper voice said.

Than it was silent once again at the church while four shadows left the church and each went his own way.

Beep Beep Beep Beep Be..*Click*

Issei turned off his alarm clock and looked at the displayed time.

"7:15." Issei said to himself while standing up.

He had to be at school at 8:00 for his uniform and program.

So he took a quick shower, a fast breakfast and stepped outside of his apartment to do a little jog before he went to school.

Arriving at Kuoh Academy, Issei took the little time he had left, before heading to the student council office, to take a look around the school. There weren't any people yet because the school only started a little over half an hour later.

He noticed that there was an old building to the right of the school building. It would seem that was the old school building. It looked abandoned but right when he headed towards the entrance of the new school building, a window opened up revealing a crimson haired girl with a big bust, staring around the big schoolyard until she noticed the boy. She recognized him as the boy from yesterday so her eyes widened in surprise and shock but quickly recovered her posture and walked back into the building.

'So it's not abandoned after all.' Issei thought.

Issei entered the school building and quickly moved forward until he came to a stop at a door with a sign.

"Student Council Room." Issei said. This was where he must be.

Issei knocked twice and waited until the door opened, revealing a short(for him) girl with glasses, violet colored eyes, black hair and a seriously looking face looking up to him.

"Goodmorning. My name is Hyoudou Issei and I came here to pick up my uniform and my program". Issei said without even trying to atleast smile.

The girl looked at him for about two seconds before answering:

"Hyoudou Issei you say? Welcome, my name is Shitori Sona and I'm the President of the Student Council. Please follow me" Sona finished.

Sona turned around and walked back into the room with Issei a few meters behind her. She walked towards the back side of her desk, crouched down to grab something underneath her desk and came back up while place a box on her desk. She opened it revealing a boy's uniform and a couple of books and the program with his classes displayed.

"These are yours. Handle them with care." Sona said while.

"Yeah, yeah I will." Issei said.

Sona lifted an eyebrow while keeping up her serious look. Issei picked up the box and started walking towards the door when Sona stopped him.

"Hold up a moment, please." Sona said. Issei turned around and looked at her while sighing:"What?"

"Your application for attending this school was rather small. We got your name, birthday and home address but the rest was left empty. May I ask why?"

"You can but I will not answer nor do I need to, seeing how the rest was unnecessary to fill in." Issei answered while turning around again.

"I think filling in your parents names is still necessary to fill in, so it says on the application." Sona answered back at him.

Issei sighed once again and turned around to face the annoying girl.

"Seeing how you are the president of the Student Council, I would say that you can find out rather quickly to why I didn't fill in my parents names. Not that it matters." He mumbled softly after he said that.

Although it was almost impossible to hear what he just said, Sona did actually hear it. She immediately got the hidden hint in that phrase.

"Im sorry for your parents." She than apologized to him.

Issei raised an eyebrow for half a second but than quickly lowered it again.

"Now you know." Was all he said before turning around again and leaving the room.

Sona stared at him until he was out of side. She then started thinking.

'A 17 year old boy who just came back to Kuoh with no parents. And than there are those rings...'

Sona was lost in thought while thinking about that boy than she didn't hear the school bell go off, announcing the beginning of the first lessons.

Issei walked with his box of clothes and books across the schoolyard, also lost in thought.

'Sona Sitiri...another devil heiress. It's going to be crowded if this continues.' Issei thought.

He felt a presence looking at him, coming from the old school building. He lifted his head and looked towards the old building. A quick flash of crimson red hair was all the could see before the window closed behind him.

Issei just pulled his shoulders up and down and continued walked towards his apartment.

Rias walked away from the window and walked back into the room where her desk, two couches and a table stood. On the table there was chessboard with multiple chess pieces on it. Some where white, others were glowing red, Crimson red. Rias sat down on one of the couches and started playing against the pieces that were on the other side of the field. Within the minute she started, she already had checkmate.

"Ara Ara. And I made it so much more difficult this time." Akeno said who came into the room with two cups of tea, one for her and one for Rias.

Rias didn't even notice she came in. She was deep in thought.

"Rias?" Akeno said.

"Hé? Oh, Im sorry, Akeno. I didn't notice you came. I was thinking of something." Rias said while looking up to her friend.

"Something or someone, Rias? Ufufu." Akeno laughed with a little smile.

Rias cheeks became a little red after she said that.

"Akeno!" Rias whined.

"Sorry, President." Akeno said back.

Rias sighed and leaned back against the couch.

"Okay, I was thinking of someone. Remember that boy I told you about this morning?" Rias asked.

Akeno silently nodded back.

"It would seem he will be attending our school, starting from tomorrow. I saw him enter and than leave with a box with his books and uniform."

"Hmmm, it would seem than that we will get another interesting student at our school." Akeno thought outloud.

Rias thought for a brief moment and than said:

"Akeno, After Koneko's lessons are done, tell her to come visit me." Ordered Rias.

"Okay, President." Akeno answered.

Issei came home with his newly acquired stuff and started to take out his uniform and books while looking at his program for tomorrow.

"Math, Science, Philosophy and History. All in one class." Sighed Issei while holding the program in his left hand and his uniform in his right hand.

'Atleast the uniform doesn't look that bad.' He thought.

For the rest of the day, he decided to take it easy and so he stayed in his apartment for the rest of the day.

Issei woke up the next day with quite a good mood.

He took a shower, put on his new uniform that fitted well despite his rather broad build. He made breakfast, bacon and eggs with toast(Yum), grabbed his bag with his books and left.

While walking to school, Issei noticed a little, white haired girl with the girls version of the Kuoh Academy uniform, who was eating a small donut on a bench. Issei looked at the girl for quick second but than started walking again.

Behind him the little white girl stood up from the bench she was sitting on and started following Issei.

'She is also devil but there is something else about her.' Issei thought. While trying to figure out what made the little white haired girl so different from the other devils had he met so far, he didn't noticed that he almost walked past the school.

Mumbling to himself of how stupid he sometimes he could be, Issei corrected his mistake and walked towards the school.

Once on the schoolyard, he saw that were already a lot of people and they were looking at him.

'Well, I'm new here, of course' Issei thought with a short smirk before walking further.

He then heard the students around him talking about him.

"Kyaa, he looks cute."

"Pffft, cute? I would say he is handsome."

"Is he a model?"

"I don't think he is but if he apply's for one, he will certainly end up as one."

"Oh no, now we have two princes at our school."

'Well, the girls like me that's for sure.' Issei thought. The boy's however looked at him with very differently than the girls looked at him.

"Having Prince charming around was already hard enough, now we get another one, dammit!"

"Die already, you bastard."

"I was so close to getting her attention but she laid her eyes on him for one second and now she acts like I don't exist anymore."

'Yeah, the boy's just see me as a potential threat of taking the girls away.' Issei sighed while thinking about how stupid boy's of his age can be.

While only a few meters away from the entrance, he felt the same presence he felt yesterday and knew where it was coming from. He turned around to look at the old school building and there she was again. The girl with the crimson red hair, Rias Gremory.

The two stared at each for two seconds until Issei came up with something. He winked with his right eye and immediately after he had done that, the face of the crimson redhead became just as red as her own hair and she quickly walked back into the building.

Issei gave a small smirk, confirming his suspicions. He turned around and entered the school.

Inside the old school building, Rias still had a flustered look on her face when Akeno came in.

Seeing the still a little bit red face of her childhoodfriend, Akeno decided to tease her.

"Ara Ara, Rias. What happened that made you so flustered?" Akeno asked with a teasing voice.

Rias, who didn't notice that Akeno had entered the room, quickly turned her head to the left so she didn't had to face her friend.

"Nothing, Akeno." Rias said with a small voice.

"Ara, Ara, did a certain someone laid eyes on you?" Akeno asked, still with her teasing voice and a smile that said that Akeno knew exactly what was going on.

"What, no no, what are you talking about? It's just a little hot in her." Rias lied while her cheeks became one shade darker.

"Okay, Rias." Akeno said. The fact that her cheeks became darker than they where before confirmed her suspicions before changing the subject.

"By the way Rias, Koneko has returned. Would you like to see her now or after school?"

Rias, who was happy there weren't talking anymore about the previous subject, nodded while saying:

"I would like to see her now. The sooner we know more about that guy, the better."

"Alright, President."

Akeno exited to room and came with the little, white haired girl.

"So Koneko, have you found out anything useful about that guy?" Rias asked.

Koneko nodded before telling what she knew about him.

Issei was waiting outside of his classroom, waiting until his teacher said he could come in. His new class would be 2-B and he hoped it would be a really calm class without having any weirdo's or something liked that.

From the outside of the classroom, he could hear his new teacher.

"Alright class, today we are getting a new transfer student. And no, it's not a girl and yes, it's a boy."

The class had mixed reactions. The boy's were not all to happy seeing how every new boy is a new rival that could take the girls away from them. The girls were mostly happy but there some who thought they were getting a new pervert into the class.

"You may come in now." Issei heard from inside the classroom.

He sighed and opened the door, stepping into the classroom. He walked to the desk where his teacher stood and introduced himself.

"Goodmorning everyone. My name is Hyoudou Issei but you can call me Issei if you want. Please take care of me." He said while bowing down for half a second.

"Kyaa, a handsome gentleman!"

"Ugh, handsome and well mannered. Could this get anymore worse?"

"Look at those muscles in his arms!"

"Die already, pretty boy."

'Well atleast it's no different than that is was outside of the classroom.' Issei thought hearing all sorts of mixed reactions.

"Alright class, that enough!" The teacher said.

The class slowly went silent while the teacher pointed Issei to a spot next to the window.

"Why don't you sit over there for now, Issei?"

"Yes, teacher" Issei said with a little bow.

Issei walked to his seat, plopped down and got his math book, pen and paper ready and waited until the lesson began.

'This is going to be boring day.' Issei thought while the teacher started the class.

The school bell went off, announcing lunch break. Before Issei could do anything, he was surrounded by almost every girl from his class, asking questions about where he lived, how he was in such a good shape and didn't look like all the other boys with their "noodles arms and legs". Issei laughed about that last one but excused himself since he wanted to eat so he grabbed his bag and walked out of the classroom.

Issei decided that he wanted to eat outside so he exited the building and laid down underneath a big tree. He opened up his little bento box and started eating.

"Hello, do you mind if I join you?" A voice said.

Issei looked up to see a boy his age with a charming face and blond hair.

"Sure, I don't mind." Issei said back to him.

'He is also a devil, how many are there in this city?'

The boy smiled and sat down in front of him while opening his bento box.

"My name is Yuuto Kiba, nice to meet you." The blond boy Kiba said.

"Issei, Hyoudou Issei." Issei said back to him, still eating from his bento box.

The two boys ate in silence for a few minutes until Kiba started a new conversation.

So, how does the new transfer student like it here? You got a nice class?"

Issei thought for a moment before answering:

"Well, I guess my class is nice but let's just say that the girls like me more than the boy's do."

Kiba chuckled at his response.

"Same goes for the both of us than."

"..."

"Say Kiba?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you know about any activity in the old school building?"

Kiba was silent for one second before answering:

"Oh yes, the Occult Research Club resides in there. I'm part of the club, you see."

"Occult Research you say. Hmmm."

"Something wrong?"

"No no, Im quite...interested in supernatural things and beings as well. Is there any change of me joining the club?"

Kiba widened his eyes for half second before quickly reverting them back. He thought for a moment before saying:

"Well, I can always ask the President of the club."

"Cool, who is the President of the club?" Issei asked so innocently as possible.

"Our club President is Rias Gremory. Do you know her?"

"The crimson redhead with a big bust?"

Once again, Kiba chuckled.

"Yes indeed, that's her."

"Who else is part of the club?"

"Well, the Vice-President is Himejima Akeno and the only other member is Toujou Koneko." Kiba answered.

"Koneko...is that the little white haired girl over there?" Issei asked while pointed to a bench on the other side of the schoolyard.

On the bench was Koneko eating from her own bento box which had a cute white cat logo on top.

"Jep, that's her." Kiba said.

"Hmmm."

"What's wrong?"

"Hm? Oh nothing, I was thinking about next class which is about to start. Will you ask for me if I can join you guy's club?"

"Sure, I'll try."

"Thank you, Kiba."

"Of course, anything for a friend."

Issei raised an eyebrow to him.

"A friend already? That was quick."

"What would you call it than?"

"Good question, I don't know. I guess that makes us friends."

"I guess it does."

"Well then, see you after school Kiba."

"See you."

Kiba watched as the handsome boy walked back towards to school.

'I wonder how President will react to this.' He thought.

"You did what and he said what!?"

Rias Gremory, President of the Occult Research Club, jumped up from her behind her desk, still confused about what her servant just had said. It was after school and Kiba just came back from his lessons to report back to her.

"Like I just said, I became friends with Hyoudou Issei and he asked if he could your our club and I said I would ask for him."

All members of the club were present: Rias behind her desk, Kiba in front of desk, Koneko sat on one of the couches and Akeno stood by the door.

"Well, I guess he could join us..." Rias began but was interrupted by Koneko.

"Why should he? He is not a devil nor did we felt any presence from him." She said.

Rias was silent for a short moment but then started talking again.

"That is true, but you know how I told you that I followed him around and that he just disappeared when he entered the small alley. No normal human being could just leave without exiting the way they came in. The walls weren't fit to be able to climb and the alley was only a few meters long."

Koneko was about to say something but then thought about what Rias just said, but she wouldn't give in.

"Maybe he didn't even enter and you made a mistake."

"Ara, Ara, Koneko. Do you having something against this boy or something? It sounds like you don't want him to join us at all." Akeno said who hugged her junior from behind. She had left her position from the door to behind Koneko when the conversation between her and Rias started.

Koneko sighed and said:

"Something just feel off about him. It scares me a little."

Rias smiled at what she said. She walked to the couch Koneko was sitting, sat down beside her and gave her a hug from her own.

"Don't worry Koneko. If he scares, we will make sure he won't do that anymore. Okay?"

Koneko silently nodded while having a small smile on her face.

"But are we going to him join the club or not?" Kiba asked.

"I guess we can let him join us." Rias said while standing up and sitting down behind her desk.

"Is Issei still here or did he went home?"

"I don't know. I came straight here after my lessons were done."

"Hmmm, just in case go see if you can find him and otherwise we will bring him in tomorrow.

"Yes, President."

Kiba turned around and walked to the door. But before he could open it himself, both doors opened themselves, revealing a muscular, handsome boy standing in the hallway with a bit of a grin in his face.

"Hello there." Issei said.

"Issei?"

Well, that was Chapter 1: A new Beginning.

I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you later.
