I sat in the back of the class, quietly observing everything going on. It was the later half of the day and I had a feeling that the 'start' of the story would be today. I could sense Raynare lurking outside the schools walls.
I debated on letting the little pervert, Issei, live. On one hand he didn't really do anything other than being a pervert. On the other, he was a pervert with no qualms on straight up assaulting women with that stripping technique he learns.
I also loathed his character with a passion. Given power that could kill gods and he uses it for stripping women. Not to mention the fact that he was a typical "I want all the women in the world but I'll freeze up and run away when confronted by a woman that actually wants me" type of character.
Basically to me he's the type that would say shit like "I didn't want to get NTR'd so I became a cuck instead. After all I still get to see 'my' girl naked."
Or maybe I just hated him cause his dumbass managed to land a harem through zero effort on his part and just pure plot armor and bullshit coincidence.
The bell finally rang and I stood up and began to leave the room. I remembered why I hated school. The classes were boring and all I really looked forward to was spending time with people I could tolerate enough to call friends.
Slipping into a restroom I shifted to my regular form and cast an invisibility spell on myself. Then I teleported out to where 'Yuuma' would 'run into' Issei.
I silently watched students file out to return home or wherever they were going. I could sense Rias and her peerage watching Issei from afar. Thankfully I was masking my entire presence completely so they didn't notice me.
They went through the whole song and dance… date and all, and I was actually surprised.
I have changed quite a whole lot of things since arriving in this world. Not to mention the fact that this world was tied with other cinematic worlds. You would think that 'canon' wouldn't be the same or even outright happen but here I was looking at the damn scene from the titty anime.
Issei and Raynare eventually stopped by the fountain and 'Yumma' proceeded to shift into Raynare after doing her whole psycho spiel. I didn't know how to feel about that. Raynare was a fallen Angel, technically a 'runaway' daughter of mine.
Here she was in some freaky BDSM gear about to shank the shit out of a little Japanese boy because fuck you that's why.
Before she could impale Issei I sighed and teleported between the two. Catching her light spear I crushed it in my hands while slowly leaking out my aura directly at Raynare.
"Raynare, I take my eyes off of you for a second and here I find you… fallen from grace, trying to kill a child, why?" I played the role of concerned father.
The crazed look flickers away from her eyes. Raynare freezes when she finally come back to herself.
"Father?" Her voice is soft, hardly a whisper. "I- but… is it really you? After all this time?"
"Yes…" I sighed, "now please, answer my question." I kept my calm demeanour.
While I didn't really remember the main plot of the show, I had been around long enough to know that a lot of the Grigori had sided Kokabiel. This was all according to my Seraph and their reports. Azazel, from my memories, also wouldn't order something like this.
The former Cadre was too busy tinkering with shit to tell his subordinates to kill little Japanese boys. That left Kokabiel, the most war hungry out of all the former angels.
Most of the original Grigori fell from grace because they helped out the humans when my past incarnation cast them out from paradise. Like a total cunt my past incarnation decided to punish the angels that helped the humans and cast them out too.
Back to the main issue though… Raynare had tears in her eyes. She fell to her knees, I could tell the devils were watching from a distance. Issei was knocked out cold as I may or may not have slugged him across the face faster than anyone could see. He was fine, but he would have a mild concussion… probably.
"Father, I- I don't know…" Rayanre's shoulder sad in defeat, "Kokabiel, he told me that Azazel wanted all the humans we tracked to have Sacred Gears killed. He said that humans... they don't understand the grand design. Their souls are but pawns in a game far beyond their comprehension."
"And you didn't think there was anything wrong with this?"
"I- father," her form flickers, he wings turning a shade lighter before returning to their pitch black appearance, "Kokabiel, he said that-
"I don't need you excuses Raynare," I snap coldly, making the fallen Angel flinch, I felt a little bad so I softly added, "just… give me a moment. It pains me to see so many of you have fallen. Just take me to Azazel. I wish to speak with your brother."
Raynare was still for a moment, her eyes watering even more. She slowly nodded and waved a hand opening a portal. The portal reflected a different view. One of a modern looking office in what looked like a twisted skyline.
'Hmm, the Grigori headquarters is in the Underworld… who would have guessed.'
I had originally thought that the Fallen Angel base was in the human world. It made sense that they'd be in the underworld now though. Less people to judge them and plenty of scrub devils to kill.
I looked around, all the decorations and furniture screamed comfort and opulence. I could tell that Azazel had spent a lot of money on this place. Raynare led me to a elegantly carved door, she pushed it open without knocking and ushered me inside.
There at a desk sat Azazel with his funky hair and middle aged look. His eyes widened when he saw me. Smiling softly at him I broke the silence.
"Hello son."
"Pops." His voice is disbelieving.
"In the flesh… well, reincarnated at least, but I'm back."
Raynare stiffens at the mention of my reincarnation and so does Azazel though he gets over it faster. He closes his eyes and chuckles.
"So that's what my brother did with the True Longinus."
Raynare looked confused and was about to ask but Azazel beat her question and replied instantly.
"That's what you did before the war really kicked off isn't it? Locked away a large portion of your soul in the damn spear."
I smile, "Leave it to my best researcher to figure it out."
"It wasn't that hard, I knew there was no way you'd be so weak after sealing away Trihexa. She's far weaker than you are after all."
I shook my head, "I was weakened. Not enough to die but severely so that Lucifer could have killed me with the weapon he made."
"Yes… the Morningstar Sword. I have no idea where it went after the war though. Samael had it with him when you struck him down." Azazel said.
"It matters not," I waved him off, "I'm here on business… what are you doing about Kokabiel?"
He simply shrugged, "No clue… he's up to his own stuff." Azazel dismissed casually.
I sighed, "Still too lazy to actually deal with your subordinates…" I shook my head, "fine then don't blame me when I deliver his corpse to your door."
Azazel froze, my past incarnation usually refrained from killing Angels. Not me though, I am a firm believer of 'fuck around and find out'. As in, fuck around with me and you'll find out how it feels when I shove my arm down your throat and rip your heart out through your mouth.
"F-father is that really necessary?" Raynare asked.
"Absolutely… I've been too lenient on you all in the past. It's time I actually punished people from my own faction."
Azazel paled, "Then…
"Yeah, because Kokabiel intends to restart the war. I'm going to tear out his wings and turn him to a fine paste personally."
It wasn't really the truth, I was doing this because I hated his face and I could have anyone getting in my way of boinking Rias.
"So, will you do something about this or will I have to step in Azazel?"
[Scene Break]
I returned to school the next day after I voluntold Azazel to find Kokabiel and to tell me immediately after he did. The current lecture was about the Meiji period in Japan. I half paid attention and half spied on the devils.
Sona was glaring at a chess set for some reason, Rias was laying on a couch reading a Naruto manga, the twink was sulking in a corner behind me, and the rest of their their peerages were in actual classes.
Suddenly Rias jumped up from where she was laying just as a magic circle deposited a maid in the ORC room. I hummed as I watched the scene unfold like some dirty voyeur.
"… Riser wishes to meet with you." The maid tells Rias who frowns.
"Now?!" She asked in an exasperated tone.
The maid simply nods, "He's coming here in a few minutes. I suggest getting ready Rias."
Rias' frown deepened, "Let me call my peerage then. I'll feel safer with them around."
'Hmm, interesting, I wonder if Issei got roped in like he did in canon. Fucking prick.'
One by one Rias' peerage excused themselves from class before teleporting to Rias' side.
"Buchou!" Came the nasally voice of the resident cuck lord.
I sighed in disappointment at the sight of Issei ogling Rias as she explained what was happening. The idiot, despite not dying, still managed to wind up as a devil. Wonder how Rias pulled it off. She didn't need to sleep next to him naked since he never died.
She probably homeypotted the fuck out of the poor kid. Told him some shit along the lines of; "I'll let you see my tits if you become my slave." The poor bastard bought it too, I debated in turning him back into a human just to see him get absolutely smashed.
I appealed to my better morality and decided to tune out of their conversations. I reached out to Ophis and Gabriel asking them if they wanted to watch me make a thanksgiving turkey four months early.
Both of them were apparently busy so they declined. I wondered what they were up to and took a peek at what they were doing.
Ophis was standing in front of a strange muscular man holding an apple. The man looks oddly familiar as if I'd seen him in an anime before.
"But this fucking Apple." The man proclaims loudly at Ophis while holding out a red apple.
Ophis looked at him strangely, "No…" she replied.
I turned my attention to Gabriel, who I was shocked to find speaking with a devil. I cast a notice me not on myself and teleported to Gabriel.
"Gabriel? Who is this?"
The Seraph jumped in shock but noticed it was me so she spun around and jumped into my arms. She pointed at the devil who looked at me with a smile.
"Look daddy it's the devil from back in Chapter 13." Gabriel said with an excited tone.
"Chapter 13? What are you talking about Gabriel?"
"You know… the chapter, it was titled 'The Reveal'."
'I am so fucking confused.' I look between Gabriel and the devil.
"Did you drug her?" I asked the devil with narrowed eyes.
"No, I have not. Though we have met before, Reinhardt Cimerius… if you remember."
"Oh shit! Yeah… fuck. I almost forgot. You were the devil that ol Dumbles swindled into turning him into a devil."
The devil shook his head with a sigh, "Not my proudest moment."
"So what are you here for?" I ask him skipping to the point he was with Gabriel.
"Daddy, he said that he's spotted a strange people camping out in his territory in the underworld." Gabriel spoke out.
"Strange people?" I asked him, turning away from Gabriel.
"A lot of Fallen, led by a twelve winged fallen. I wouldn't have noticed them had their cloaking shield not faltered for a second during a training session I had the other night."
"I'll take a look at this, thank you Reinhardt." I nod my head at him respectfully.
[Scene Break]
Back at the school after I dropped Gabriel off to heaven, I had also asked Michael to have a look at her since she was spouting strange things. Like how she wasn't crazy and it was just because some being named Vargr wanted her to say those things.
I glanced at the blond boy that had appeared in a flashy magic circle.
'So this is Richard or Riser? Yeah… he really looks like a total fuck boy.'
Richard or whatever the fuck started loudly proclaiming that he would take Rias as his own and to be honest it was pretty cringe. I didn't know anyone could have such a punchable face.
Issei proceeded to call him out, making Rias challenge him to a Rating Game to defend Issei. The little perverts stupidity makes me want to kill him myself.
I mean, what newbie mouths off to someone clearly stronger then they are at the moment without expecting consequences to their actions. Then again, the only thing in that little shits mind was boobs.
I withdrew my observation satisfied that so far everything was going as expected. Rias would no doubt approach me soon. Whether to ask me to join her again or to ask for help. I know full well that either she or members of her merry band of wacky characters saw my confrontation with Raynare.
Once class ended I quickly teleported myself back to Heaven and met with Kushina and Himari. There was no way I was being an absentee dad on top of being a God that liked to avoid my duties.
I mean I already was kind of an absentee dad with the angels but technically that wasn't my fault.
I gave Kushina a light peck on the lips before taking Himari from her. Himari giggled happily and grabbed at my hair. I stayed in my 'Akimitsu' form whenever I was with just Kushina and our daughter. For some reason it felt right.
"How was school today?" Kushina smirked, her tone teasing.
I rolled my eyes, "It was fine kaa-chan…"
Kushina shuddered, "Don't do that. It sounds wrong when you say it like that."
I laugh lightly, "Hear that Mari-chan… your Kaa-san doesn't like me anymore." I fake cry making Himari giggle cutely.
"Oh shut up you… that's not what I said." Kushina laughs while swatting my arm.
"Mari-chan, your kaa-san is calling me a liar now… I'm so sad." I continued.
Kushina pouted and crossed her arms, Himari clapped her little hands while laughing.
"Da- d- dada…"
"Himari? What did you say?" I looked at my daughter excitedly Kushina shunshined over to my side.
"Say it again, say dada."
"Da- dadadadadada" Himari babbled.
Chuckling I hand her back to Kushina. "Here, I have to go tell everyone that I won the bet."
Kushina pouted again, "Mooh… she should have said my name first."
[Scene Break]
My guess had been right, Rias sent Akeno to pull me out of my class the next day. The half and half telling me that Rias wanted to speak with me on the roof. Akeno looked a little wary around me.
She was probably the one to have seen me intervene when Issei was about to get penetrated by Raynare and not in a good way.
Akeno quickly disappeared when she finished leading me to the roof. I had no doubts that she was lingering though, I could sense the rest of Rias' peerage close by watching too.
"So… why did you call me up here?" I glanced at Rias who was leaning on the railing of the roof.
"Inoue-kun… what happened between you, that fallen, and Issei the other day?"
"Let's see… I saw the little pervert and a young woman walking. To make sure that the young woman wouldn't be… assaulted… in any way I followed them. The rest, well… that's history."
"What did you do to the Fallen. You disappeared with her before we could ask questions."
"Hmm, I look her to meet her brother obviously." I smile.
I could feel Rias slightly getting annoyed.
"Whatever the case… I need your help." She sighed in defeat when she realised that I wouldn't be giving her proper answers. Not yet anyways.
"Oh? And does this have to do with that fuckwad Richard?"
"Richard?"
"Yeah, Richard… you know, stupid face, likes the sound of his own voice."
"Riser?"
"Is that his name?" I feigned ignorance.
Rias giggles, "Yes, that's his name, and yes, why I need your help has to do with 'Richard'."
"You know why I call him that right?"
"Wait you know his name?"
"Well yeah… I make it my business to know everyone who's on my territory."
"But Kuoh Town is de- never mind," she sighs loudly, "can you help me?"
"That depends on what kind of help you need."
She pauses, seemingly thinking, "The offer to join my-
"No."
"Then I'll need training."
"Just you or your whole peerage?"
"Better make that all of them." She says after another moment.
"Fine… but it'll cost you."
"Sure… name your price and I'll make sure my brother pays it off."
"It's not money I'm after."
Rias freezes, thinking I wanted sex. Technically she wasn't wrong… I'd love nothing more than to have her be a drooling mess after I fuck her silly, but I had standards. I would take her out on a date first. See if she's an irresponsible brat or a burgeoning heiress.
If she was a lazy brat I'd stop and move on, if she had potential though… I'd be collecting redhead number three in my list of top redheads to collect. I had made a list in my previous life of all the redheads I'd gladly put a few babies in.
But I'm getting side tracked in this internal monologue… let's get back to the story.
"What do you want?" Rias asked cautiously.
"A date…"
She smiles… "with who? I can set it up by the end of today."
"With you."
Instead of falling away her smile widens. She hums, "Bold… you're a bold one aren't you Inoue-kun."
"Please just call me Akimitsu." I smirk.
"Sure… help me train my peerage and I'll go on a date with you if we win."
"Nope," I smile seeing through her wordplay, "we go on a date before your rating game."
"Fine, but you're actually going to train my peerage right? You're not just going to make us do stupid stuff?"
A wicked smile forms on my face, "Well yes… I have just the plan to train you to easily stomp the shit out of Richard."
"Good," she holds out her hand for a handshake, "we have a deal then?"
I take her hand and gently kiss her knuckles just like how I was taught by Hogwarts founders all those years ago.
"We have a deal."
——————————————————-
OMAKE: BREAKING WALLS
"GAAAAH! Who the fuck is this Vargr asshole!" I shouted angrily.
Gabriel and now Ophis were referring to this person. Saying that he was making them say and do things. They even said that this Vargr person was also making me do things.
I had looked up the word 'Vargr' on the internet and only video game references from World of Warcraft would pop up.
I also learned that 'Vargr' meant 'Wolf' in old Norse. Seeing a potential lead I had Michael and the other Seraph ask around in the Norse Pantheon if there was some powerful being we had yet to learn about.
I paced around my throne room with a huff, so far no leads had bore any fruit. I was close to just manipulating reality so that I'd find every asshole named Vargr in the world.
I teleported to the Dimensional Gap and looked around, I hoped that I'd get an answer here. The Dimensional Gap was sort of a junkyard for lost things. I thought that maybe I'd find something, anything, in the void.
Then, I heard it…
The distinct tap tap tapping of a keyboard. It shouldn't have been possible for regular sounds like that to be discernible in the void. Ruby had to literally scream at the top of her lungs in her Dragon God form to get her voice heard from more than a few paces.
I followed the tapping noises and came across a small rip in the void. I stuck my head in without a second though and peeked inside.
It was dark, but I could clearly make out the shape of a figure typing away on the keyboard of a tablet. I focused on what the figure was writing and froze. I read over the person's shoulder in my head.
'Akimitsu said… Kushina giggled… I-…'
'Wait a fucking minute, this was literally what happened during my stay in the Elemntal Nations… how the fuck does this person know what happened word for word.'
"You just gonna read over my shoulder all day or are you gonna come in."
The figure spoke in an accented voice. I frowned, the figure, clearly male by the voice, shouldn't have been able to sense me.
"I can sense you dickhead, now get in the fucking room. You're letting the warm air out."
"You can read my mind?"
"Not really," the figure swivels in his rolly chair and faces me, "I just know exactly what you're going to say when you say it."
"Bullshit." "Bullshit."
"Stop it." "Stop it."
"You're being a dick." "You're being a dick."
"Alright fine! Who are you?" I asked the hooded man.
The man slowly reached up and grabbed his hood, I held my breath in anticipation. I didn't know what to expect, I readied myself for whatever would happen. The man took off his hood and looked up. I stared at the familiar face.
"…"
He stared back.
"…"
"What the actual fuck."
I was looking at my old face, the man laughed and took of the hoodie he had been wearing. With a clap, he turned the lights on in the room.
It was my room, my old room that is, before I fucked up that ritual really badly.
"So…"
"Yeah."
"But how?"
His face shifted to look like mine, I was currently in my Akimitsu form. Realisation struck me.
"Wait so is this time travel?"
"Fuck no…"
"Then?"
"You chose to stay in the DxD/HP world, I got right the fuck out of there after getting God powers."
"So an alternate timeline?"
"Not really, well sort of… close enough I guess."
"But how?"
"Mate, you haven't even begun to explore your, our, powers. The Naruto thing? That was a fraction of the potential. Were the god of creation for fuck sake… we can literally bend reality."
"Wait what?"
"Yeah," other me laughs, "anything you can imagine, you can literally do with your powers. We can be anyone, we can do anything."
"I- I think I get it."
"Fuck me mate, was I ever that dense?" Other me muttered.
"What?"
"Never mind, you can use your powers in other ways not just fucking around. Keep that in mind, I won't erase that from your memories. You won't remember anything else though."
"Wait no…"
"I can't have you ruining my fun. Have fun… oh yeah, I almost forgot. Water will fuck their shit up."
"What?!"
Before I could do anything else I was forcibly sucked back into the void of the Dimensional Gap. A large chunk of my memories were missing. All I could remember about the last few moments was that I was stronger than I originally imagined and that water was important.
"I really need to start getting more sleep." I sighed before teleporting home.

[AN: Sorry for the late update, been stuck in a hospital bed for the last few days. Even though I'm definitely not making it past this year I'm determined to finishing this story for you guys at the very least. Thank you for all of you that added this wacky story to your collection, all the stones even though I have no idea what the fuck they do, and for all the interactions. Knowing that people will continue to read my stories even after I kick the bucket makes me happy that I started writing, thank you all so much. -Vargr]
