A gentle breeze swept through a forest as the sun rose from the east. The birds were chirping their morning tune, the waterfall as it's overbearing weight pressed upon the river not so far away.
Three children and a teenager were walking while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Well at least one of them, the children who were about 9-10 years old were grumpy. Their clothes and hair were drenched with water.
"Was that necessary?" A young girl with brown, curly hair and green eyes said in annoyance. Her hair was stuck on her face and her red kimono revealed a petite figure.
This was Asami, the only member of the group who might be a supernatural from the start.
She has this holy aura that those angels have but something felt off about. I just never paid attention to it much because training, training and MORE TRAINING!
"I tried to wake you up normally but your response was 'Five more minutes.' After I waited that for five minutes Shinji just doubled the time!" I glared at Asami then Shinji at the end of my sentence.
"And the best way you could wake us up was cold water! Really!" A boy with black hair resting on his face and blue eyes shot back at me. He wore a white vest and some baggy pants. Just like the rest he was not amused either.
"Not my fault you sleep like logs now is it?" The teenager asked a question, sarcasms oozing in his voice which made them want to shove the blonde down a rabbit hole but they all knew better. He was having fun watching them mopping.
"Would you just go already!" Another child who was a victim of his pranks called out. His purple eyes were twitching uncontrollably. He had wet blue hair like the rest. He wore a red haori and black pants.
"Hahaha... seriously though I really am going to miss you guys. I don't think I will forget your whiney faces."
*vein bulge*
"Hisashi!!" Three voices sounded at once.
"Bye!" Hisashi jumped up on a tree before disappearing into the forestry. What he didn't notice was how unwilling they were to leave. Not that it's of any importance now.
Hisashi's POV
'Kill her... Murder her... Make her suffer...' I can't believe I was willing to kill my mother, I wanted her dead.
'Destroy.. Everything...' And that last one doesn't sit well with me. There are lots of anime that have this sort of influence.
It can't be a tailed beast or else I would have met them already, so what is it?
"Perhaps I was wrong. Maybe I am not a legitimate human after all. I could be some sort of monster for all I know but... Natsumi is definitely human. What does this mean?"I tried to think of many possible theories behind this.
I have been under this influence for a while
now. That time when I fought with the bandits, other times I fought devils while looking for information and yesterday too.
All these events have one thing in common. Firstly, I feel empowered but unreasonably furious.
Secondly, my instincts are heightened. Thirdly, how my eyes view the world changes.
Lastly, I lose control of myself and loose part of my memories. I am never in control in this state and it's always a constant battle against this influence.
Yesterday, I was able to triumph before it was too late.
"*Sigh* I, Hisashi Itou, am a haunted soul. Even so..." I set my sight to the sky, the forest was what I could see though. I could only see a glimpse of the sky.
...

"This means that if I can control myself, I would have unimaginable power." I smiled for a moment. I knew that this type of power up is dangerous but since I have it, I better learn how to benefit from it.
People with these types of power ups are always BADASS!!
"Now let's train!!" My eyes glowed red for a second before I started my training. I focused on my internal energy and concentrated it in my dantian to the limit.
I release all of it at once in a burst of
energy which caused my Ki to drain quickly.
"I accidentally stumbled upon the aura burst, I was trying to gather energy. Alright, let's store it instead." I did the same process as before, adjusting it a little.
I clenched my fist and placed my feet
apart just a bit.
"HAAAAAAA!" A white aura sprung to life, raging like flames as it pushed everything away in a 10 meter radius. I then tested out my capabilities with a few kicks, punches, dash, anything I can think of.
"Base level, Late Middle class. Powered up level, Peak Middle class. Burst level, I am unparalleled in this rank. Alright, since I already have this down I might as well try flying". I should try sky walking and see what will happen. I don't remember what they call it in Dragon Ball.
I focus my Ki on the sole of my feet. I always focused on sensing and controlling than how to actually use it. This allowed me to use techniques like these with ease.
I can already use a Ki Blast by now. It's destructive power is enough to destroy a couple of building at full power let alone burst mode.
"Huh? I am walking on air. That was... A lot easier than I thought it would be. Considering my training for the past few years it is to be expected."
I of course focused on getting used to it before I started fooling around with this. I can finally fly!!
Even though most supernaturals would write it off as pseudo flight, it's still flying to me.My hair stood, causing me to be on guard. A smile crept on my face as I started walking away from the area.
"Something tells me I should leave this place."
"Sharp instincts you got there." A girl appeared from behind a tree before she stood right in front of him. She had black hair styled in pigtails, bright blue eyes and generous boobs considering her short stature.
She wore a white kimono with pink accent and flashed a harmless smile.
'This woman... She's bad news..." A warped voice that was eerily similar to mine sounded in my head. The exact same voice that has always sounded in my head when I went berserk. I couldn't let my guard down to find out facing such dangerous opponent.
"Who are you? I can already tell you are a devil." I asked the girl.. or woman, watching her every move.
"I am not here to fight, just a few questions if I may?"
One of my favourite girls in DxD. So this is really the world I always wished to be in. YEESS!! I mean SHIT!!
'Serafall Sitri, an Ultimate class devil and a future Satan. Also an opponent I don't wanna toy with. I think I may have gotten myself into some deep shit. Should have waited until I was ultimate class…'
I waited for her to ask me whatever she had in mind. I know she is damn hot and all but I could be her enemy for all I know, but then again, the devils I killed were pure evil so I should be justified.
"Are you responsible for the disappearance of a troop of high class devils. You seem like a middle class human to me." she asked out of sheer curiousity
I raised my eyebrow at her. What she was saying was not something the current me can do, "Uhh, I think you have the wrong guy here. I can't kill an ultimate class devil on my own."
"I would have believed you too if the energy signature were not so similar. The only difference is right now you are pretty normal." She paused as if to assure me that my assumption was somewhat true.
"The energy signature I sensed was far too malevolent and bloodthirsty to be a teena-"
"9 year old toddler." I answered indifferently. If she says that the energy signatures were similar then I lost control again.
"Interesting? Say, why do you go around killing my kind?"
"Would you believe me if I said no reason?" I said flatly gauging her response.
"Why not. I am surprised you have not attacked me yet. Is it because of my devilish charms? Its a fact that no one can resist them." she as she puffed out her chest and winked at me.
I had a hard time believing such a thing existed even though I was sure this is DxD. Also, was Serafall always so narcissistic?
"I am not an idiot."
"I can see that. Provoking you isn't going to work so if you don't mind answering. How fast can you run?" she smiled brightly as if the killing intent I was feeling wasn't hers at all.
"You are going to try and kill me aren't you?" Sweat trickled down my forehead as my eye twitched, thoroughly exasperated at how it came to this point.
"Maybe." she avoided my gaze and just whistled.
Serafall then turned to me with the same curious expression she had before, " But you peak my interest and there something unnerving about you and I cannot quite put my finger around it. I guess your life is in fate's hands don't you think."
"I am not gonna leave my life to chance. I may be weak but I won't let you take my life so easily!" I got into a fighting stance, thinking of all possible tricks I had to use against her.
She wasn't necessarily evil, at least in canon, so maybe she is bluffing. The keyword being maybe.
Serafall was shocked at my determination before she chuckled as if she saw through my uncertainty.
She gestured for me to come at her. "I thought you would never say that. Very well, then you shall begin first."
'The nerve of this woman. She is right to be arrogant though. She is an Ultimate class devil while I myself am a Middle class being.
The gap between us is truly immense. I just hope she is just testing me out.'
