-Somewhere in Italy many years ago-
Run
That was all Isaiah could think, his friend that had sacrificed themselves to help him escape weighted down in his mind.
The holy sword project, It was a project that focuses on making possible wielders for holy swords. But the head of the holy sword project-Valpet, deemed them as failures and this out for execution.
They struggled and they tried to escape but
...he was the only one that made it, even then Isaiah could constantly feel the weight of his body increasing and his breath becoming raged.
As he ran through the snowy forest, blood dripping from his body and coughing blood up from the poison he had inhaled when escaping-he collapsed.
Isaiah couldn't take it anymore, he could feel it coming close.
Death
And the sadest part was that the death of all his friend that saved him were in vein, he couldn't even avenge them in the end.
Regret filled his heart as he lamented his sad fate-to slowly and painfully succumb to his death by poison.
His eyelid began to be one heavy as his wounded body layed on the snow, as he was about to succumb to death a voice spoke.
"My, what an unfortunate soul we have here"
Isaiah mustered up all the strenght he had left in his body and moved his head, draging it against the snow until he had a clear vision of the person kneeling infornt of him.
He was a handsome blonde haired boy with green eyes, and wore a sort of white and green suit-he also didn't look much older than him self.
"The holy sword project right?" The blonde man asked suddenly, making Isaiah flinch at the mention of it.
Anger and hatred filled Isaiah's eyes as he looked at the blonde boy.
"Woah woah woah buddy come down, I'm not part of it" said the blonde boy, making Isaiah calm down a bit.
But if he wasn't then who was he? and how did he know?
"Fufu~ you seem to have lots of questions but I don't have any time to answer them, you will die soon without a chance to avenge your friends. But rejoice for I have an offer for you, that is of you accept"
"I accept" Isaiah said without hesitation, his life didn't matter now and it he didn't really care if the man in front of him the devil hinself. If the deal that he's offering him can help him have his revenge then he will pay any price necessary
"Oh?, so fast to answer. That's good-you will die soon and be reincarnated into a devil by a red haired moron. From that day on you will be my inside spy and in return I will help you in your revenge against valper"
Isaiah didn't respond as he had already lost all his strenght in his body-all he could muster up was a grunt of aknowledgement.
"Good, we will be meeting soon Isaiah. My name is Otto by the way, don't forget it" Isaiah died that day but was soon reborn as Kiba Yuuto by the haires of the Gremory house, Rias Gremory.
But despite being reborn his original objective never changed, he kept his promise and stayed in contact with Otto-filling him in on all the Gremory house movements. Slowly Isaiah waited for Otto to fullfil his end of the promise.
And today was a special day as it was the second time they would be meeting face to face, usually they would message each other though calls or letters as it was to dangerous to see face to face without Rias big brother noticing. But that's not the important part, it's that Otto said that it's almost time to fullfil his promise of revenge.
That Valper and a fallen have suddenly teamed up in order to collect the holy swords right here in Kuoh.
Of course he wasn't hasty as Otto ordered him not to do anything stupid, a wrong move from him would scare them off into hiding-never to be found again in a long long time.
"It's Yuuto Kiba, it's the name Rias gave me" corrected Kiba.
"Hoh?, it seems you took a liking to the new name that Titie Brains gave you" joked Otto.
Kiba chuckled lightly at his joke, Rias is his friend but he couldn't deny that all the nutrients she had taken into her body were directed into her chest area instead of her brain.
As Kibas light chuckle died down, his face turned serious "Jokes aside-Rias knows" he warned Otto.
Not so long ago Rias had a talk with Sona about Otto being aware of the supernatural, Rias mas mad that Otto didn't tell her and even went as far to hide his powers.
"Fufu~ I'm aware, I'm aways aware"
"Of course you are" Kiba said with a wry smile, knowing him all these years one thing Kiba knew about Otto was that he was always right or knew about something one way or another-wheter he should know it or not
"Well I won't hold you back anymore" Kiba said as he knocked on the door to the occult research club and opened it.

Otto PoV-
It was a great idea to leave Isaiah as my spy inside the Gremory. Originally I was going to keep him to myself as I saw a lot of potential in his sacred gear, take for example the MC from that fanfic DxD: Rekiba. That showed me how far Kiba can really go of he trained well enough along with a sprinkle of imagination.
By the way, Kiba is completely loyal to me. If I told him to leave the Gremory and come with me I'm sure he will do it with a bit of hesitation as he still considers Rias as his Friend. But in the end his wish for revenge is stronger, his wish is something Rias can't make true for him except me.
As me and Kiba entered the room we both noticed the precense of four people.
The first two where Akeno a long with Issei who had a huge perverted smile spread along his face.
Sigh~ sometimes I wonder how he got bitches in the first place. If it weren't for the [Boosted Gear] he would have been nothing in this life.
Well not that it was his to begin with as he already sold it kekekeke.
And Rias? She was sitting in a chair with a rather odd expression-desperate almost. A white haired maid was taking to her with a cold expression.
"Yo, Rias" I said hi casually, this ain't my first time coming here as I sometimes come by and nerd out togheter about a anime or we play videogames.
We have a surprisingly platonic relationship.
And by the way the reason why I haven't seen Kiba up until now was because he usually has kendo club at the time I come by.
"Ah, hello Otto" she greeted back with a tired smile.
"It's you" suddenly spoke Grayfia as Ice started to form around her, I guess she remembers me.
"No!, Grayfia stop it. Otto is a friend, I know we might have started on the wrong foot all those years ago but he's good now" defended Rias.
Aww I feel touched.
Grayfia glared at me as she probably didn't trust me at all. She probably remember how I made her feel so much danger at such a. Young age, just imagine how powerful I am now.
"As you wish lady Rias" Grayfia said with a. Small bow-returning to her corner.
"Sorry about this Otto but can you come back some other time, I have some...sudden matter I have to take care of today" Rias told me with a sad smile.
Oh?...I didn't think today would be the day Riser would come.
Hm should I involve myself or should I just mind my own business.
In one hand I could just walk away, I'm sure Issei could handle things like in canon but that no fun at all.
On the other hand I could gain a favor from Rias big brother, afterall he's the person that cares so much about his fear little sister. There's also drama included so count me in!
"Is that so Rias?, actually I'd rather stay and see what's happening" I said with a grin on my face.
"Otto, nows not the time for your jokes. Someone is coming soon and I don't want you to be involved in this-" before Rias could argue me out of the room which was pretty cute to see her worried about me.
A pillar of flame erupted into the room, the swirl of flames formed in the middle of the room but a little something else happened.
*Booooom*
The pillar of flame exploded, disrupting the fire work show Riser mas making.
Kekeke ever since I started coming to Rias to hang out I would bring a gallon of Gasoline as a gift. Rias would just look at me weird but would shrug it off and put it in the corner of the room.
Kekekeke I already planed to have Riser blow it up causing his little entrance to fail due to his flame combusting the gas.
I looked over to Rias to see her reaction, she had a shocked face but at the same time I could see amusement in her eyes.
She looked over to me, realization dawned in her face as she now knew why I brought her gasoline.
"I don't know how you knew but thank you" she said as she gave me a thumbs up.
Fufu I'm glad she enjoyed it, she's a friend afterall so I'll help her but I won't save her like a simp.
And plus, I'm a villain. Causing trouble for people I don't like is my thang~.
