Saki stood at the school gate with a sheepish and tired smile. He had eye bags and every moment he was awake felt like shit. His hair had been dyed black and he smelled of chemicals. Furthermore he had sun glasses.
. He had spent almost the entire night setting up his old house for Mittelt to stay in . He also worked on a new utility spell he had learnt in a Mage's diary to hide any supernatural energy that emitted from the house . His hard work had wielded effort but like the revenge obsessed guy he was ,he went to train until today .
He hadn't slept in approximately 19 hours of pure mental of physical torture.
In front of him was a frowning Sona and Tsubaki. He could sense they were devils but now was not the time to ask them that questions.
" You are late Saki Himejima , what is your excuse ?" Sona inquired with an authoritative tone.
" I am just tired today "
" That is no excuse " Sona said.
Saki rubbed his forehead.
" It isn't ? I mean everyone gets tired now and then " Saki responded.
" Answer the question , why are you late ?" Tsubaki asked , her tone was more authoritative than Sona.
" Yesterday I went out with this gorgeous chick , did some drugs , made some love and today I woke up with a horrible hangover " Saki said.
Tsubaki clicked her tongue.
" The truth Mr. Himejima " Tsubaki said.
" Why ?"
" Procedures must be followed Mr. Himejima . We are to rate if the reason behind you being late is of importance and if not , a way to gauge the severity of your actions " Sona said.
Saki really wanted to go home but if he walked away he felt it would come to bite him back in the ass. Perhaps he could enjoy himself.
" I went on a fly with my devil powers. They view up there was nice so I stayed there for most of the night " Saki lied again .
" Mr. Himejima devils do not exist " Sona said.
She of course naturally assumed Saki was human because currently he was hiding his aura .
" Very well then , I spent the whole night watching anime . " Saki said with the most shameful face he could muster.
" Yet you were aware that this is a school day "
" Yes , I am ashamed and I will not repeat it again "
" We will forgive since this is your first time committing this offence. "
" Thank you "
" However for wasting our time with your lies I will be expecting you at the student council office at the end of the school day "
" I understand " Saki said.
" Ok then head off to class " Saki nodded then walked off leaving the two girls there.
Tsubaki looked at her king .
" He was lying "
" I noticed "
" Then why did you let him go ?" Tsubaki asked.
" He is interesting " Sona said.
Tsubaki looked at Sona weirdly. What part did a shallow and normal looking boy interest Sona ?
She however chose to remain quiet
Saki was lucky enough to enter the class before the teacher arrived. The class was noisy with his peers chatting with each other and enjoying each other's company . It seemed he was the last to arrive judging by the population of the class. Murayama was chatting with Katase and when she saw Saki arrive , she gave a light pat to her then walked off the seat.
He headed straight to his seat and was met with a frown on Katase's face.
" Hey "
She did not respond to his greetings.
" Are you mad because I didn't meet you yesterday ?" Saki asked.
Katase glared at him then turned the other way around.
" Humph "
' Geez what is up with this lady , we do not know each other yet she is angry that she did not meet a guy she barely knows . It doesn't make any sense... But then again when did a woman make sense ' Saki thought.
He could ignore Katase but he didn't like someone sitting so close to him giving off a negative vibe. It disrupted his thoughts or soon his sleep.
He opened a mini portal in the training section and took out an unopened snack .
" Katase ?"
" Hmph "
" Could you just look at me "
" Katase ?"
Saki pestered on for a while until she turned .
Katase sighed and looked at him .
Saki passed crisps beneath the desk to her lap where no one would see.
Katase looked at the crisps and didn't know what to say . At least he tried apologizing but this was just something that he had randomly thought off without actually thinking. She could tell.
" I am sorry , next time I will definitely come " Saki said .
' Anything for her not to be a nuisance if we are to sit together for a while. ' Saki thought.
He didn't actually mind what most people thought of him in life. He could be called a whore for all he cared but for the people he was forced to interact with in a daily basis , he had to at least show them some form of friendship .
He thought around the lines that It was better to have a close friend than a close enemy .
Katase looked at the crisps and then at him . She wanted to lash out but he tried and she felt pity for him .
So she gritted her teeth and said what she needed to say.
" You will join our Kendo Club today " Katase said.
' Kendo club , isn't that club a girls only club ? '
Saki hadn't stayed long in this school but he definitely knew some deal amount about that specific club . One was because he initially thought it off as a potential training sight and two was because of Katase's involvement with it.
' Why would she ask me to join such a club ? Isn't it meant to be like a girls sanctuary club or something '
He suddenly paled as he thought of why she asked him . But he was not certain so he needed to play his cards right.
" Isn't that like girls' sanctuary club , having a horny male teenager in your midst might .... "
" We will be going after school ends" Katase interrupted with a commanding tone then turned to continue doing what she was doing before Saki interrupted her.
' Phew for a moment I thought she thought I was gay . Her blush revealed she saw me as straight ' Saki thought.
His train of thought was only normal . First of all that club only accepted girls because they wanted to escape guys and for them to invite a guy it only meant they thought of the guy as one of them.
But that was not the case with this one so what was she thinking ?
' Bah , its just teenage drama . Boring stuff ' Saki thought as he coiled up in his desk and closed his eyes. Previously he would be disturbed but now he had better things to worry about .
* Riiiiiing *
Saki woke up comically from his desk. He had drool on his face and his waking face made anyone who saw him snicker.
" Mr Himejima , I expect to see you at the teacher's lounge after school " The 24 year old teacher said . She was pretty with a curvy body , long silky hair but had a mean gaze. She was one of the coveted yet feared teachers.
The class looked at him with pity . He was going to suffer today .
" Yes ma'am " Saki said . This was not his day .
Katase too felt bad for him but whenever she tried to wake him up . He would raise his head , look around and go back to sleep.
" What a shitty day "
He then turned to Katase.
" It looks like I will not be able to make it today " Saki said.
Katase shook her head.
" We close our club at 9pm , you are still going to the club " Katase said with a sharp glare directed at Saki.
Saki resisted the urge to groan and was to a point successful .
The students started chatting and the class became noisy once again . Saki let his head fall to the desk as he continued his sleep. Katase seeing his antics just sighed and ignored him.
He was about to fall to slumber land when someone called him.
" Saki Himejima ?! " It was a female voice , he could tell.
Saki let out a groan as he looked up with half open eyes. From the hazy figure he could tell it was a girl with brown hair and green eyes.
" Yes ?" Saki asked as his head swayed to the side.
" The student council president requests you join her in the student council office. "
There was a few who heard this and soon whispered to each other what was happening .
" The new guy is already getting in trouble left and right and he does not even care "
" Isn't he the guy that Kiba came in looking for . They went with Issei to the Occult research club right ?"
" Yeah , Do you think he is getting all the girls "
" Nah , more like he did something bad . A girl in 3rd year told me that in his previous school he was a big pervert "
" I heard he once stole the teachers panties "
" I heard he was a delinquent who went to jail for a year "
Rumours upon rumours were stirred.
" Tell her I will join her in the evening as scheduled. " Saki said dismissively then went back to sleep.
The class once again stirred.
" So bold "
" Bro does not even care. "
" He is been to jail , do you think some girl will intimidate him . "
The girl heard all this and a vein popped in her head.
She grabbed his hair and pulled him up with almost supernatural strength. Any normal dude in his position would be surprised and a bit scared but he scowled and shoved the girls hand away .
" You have been called and you will avail yourself "
" Geez fine "
The two got out and walked away in silence. After a few minutes the girl opened a door and they entered a room with all girls except one boy .
" I brought him president "
" Thank you Ruruko " Sona said.
She then stretched her hand and pointed to a chair.
" Have a seat Mr Himejima "
Saki did not say anything and just sat . He wanted this to end quickly so that he could back to sleep.
" I have to say Mr. Himejima you are intriguing . " Sona aired out her views.
" Thank you Mrs Shitori but please don't tell me you were here just to court me " Saki said.
" Hey you better watch how you talk to the president !! " The male shouted with anger but he was held back .
Sona let out a small disappointed sigh.
" Please all of you get out save for Tsubaki " She said.
" But .... " Saji wanted to protest but a glare from Sona shut him up . They walked out leaving the trio in the room.
" I am sorry for Genshirou's behaviour , he is new to the peerage "
Tsubaki raised an eyebrow at the mention of peerage. She doubted Saki would understand.
" I am more concerned with the girl that woke me up. " Saki aired out his thoughts.
" She only did that under my command for that all responsibility belongs to me " Sona said.
Saki was not in the mood to talk.
" Alright , can we just get to the part you tell me your intentions " Saki wanted to sleep so badly currently.
" I think it is supposed to be the other way around " Sona said.
" Pardon ?"
" Allow me to formerly introduce myself. I am Sona Sitri , heir to the house of Sitri and currently one of the rulers of Kuoh " She announced.
" OK ?" Saki said clearly not knowing what to say.
" I have reason to believe that you Saki Himejima , is a stray devil "
Tsubaki looked at Sona then at Saki. As far as she could tell Saki was completely normal .
" I am not " Saki said.
" If that is the reason for you calling me then I would like to get back to class " Saki said.
Sona frowned and then let out a chilling aura that made Saki slightly shiver.
" What is your reason for being in Kuoh town ?" Sona demanded.
" I live here . Geez haven't you checked my profile "
" That is another thing , in the section of parents or guardians it is blank . Furthermore there is no history in schools attended "
Saki then remembered he had put it blank because he did not want to be disturbed or disturb the Hyoudou's.
' Damn it I could have gone to the base and no one would find a way to communicate with me ' Saki thought
" Do you wish to tell me the reason to that ?" Sona asked.
" I live with the Hyoudou's . They adopted me after my family's tragic demise. I was homeschooled before this and as for the year gap in my life I would rather not say " Saki told the truth.
" Did you escape from your peerage ?"
" I was born a devil , geez haven't you heard of half-devil half humans before " Saki asked sarcastically.
Sona glared at Saki trying to gauge if he spoke the truth .
" I find that hard to believe considering your shady background " Sona said.
" You can choose to ask Rias, she knows the truth " Saki said.
Sona glared at Saki for a while before turning to Tsubaki.
" Call Rias Gremory " She commanded .
Tsubaki gave a polite bow and teleported away.
" You know you could have just called "
" It is far much better to verify face to face. " Sona said.
" Ok " Saki responded. He let his arm rest in the arm chair and then allowed his head to rest on it.
He was about to close his eyes when he heard a familiar face call him .
" Saki " He opened his eyes and turned to see the caller but instead got assaulted by being hugged.
Rias released him from the hug then looked at him .
" You look awful have you slept enough ?" She asked .
Sona watched in slight shock as Rias treated Saki like a child.
" Couldn't get much of a sleep "
" You could have come to the ORC , I would have given you my bed to sleep in " Rias said.
' You are telling me that was an option ?' Saki thought.
" Next time "
" And you dyed your hair ? I think your natural hair is better " Rias said.
" Ok next time I will not dye it "
" Ahem do you know him Rias ?" Sona asked.
Rias turned to Sona .
" He is my brother "
Tsubaki and Sona's eyes widened .
" I hope you did not do anything to him "
Sona recovered from her stupor.
" I was just asking him some questions to find out where he is from " Sona said.
" Now you know " Rias said.
" Ok now because that is settled can I go now ? " Saki asked.
" You do not want to hang out with me ?" Rias asked .
Saki let out a smile.
" Tomorrow "
" Its a date then. " Rias said.
' Are all devils as eccentric as her ?' Saki thought .
He nevertheless got out and went back to class.
Sona , Rias and Tsubaki remained and the happy air Rias let out quickly withered.
" You never told me you had a brother "
" I learnt of his existence a few weeks ago " Rias said.
" And yet you are sure he is your brother ?"
" Yes , Sirzechs confirmed "
" The Gremory family has a target on their backs. Don't you think leaving him like that will get him killed ?"
" It is better this way that to let him to the family . Father will kill him " Rias said.
" Oh no wonder it is not well known . Knowing you you would have announced him as your brother. " Sona said.
" Maybe one day I will , but as of now I cannot " Rias said.
" If he joins my peerage he can receive protection from the Sitri household " Sona said.
" No , big brother said he will deal with it and I trust that he will "
" Alright "
Rias turned to Tsubaki.
" I trust you will keep this a secret "
Tsubaki nodded.
" Your secret is safe with me "
_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Evening arrived rather quickly and Saki was forced to go to the teachers' lounge to meet his teacher.
All the teachers were gone save for the female teacher.
" Mr. Himejima , you have arrived. "
" Yes "
" Care to tell me why you were sleeping in my class ?"
" I was tired "
" Is that so ? "
" Yes "
" Mr Himejima are you aware that you are playing with your future "
" I am not "
The teacher frowned.
" Why is that ?"
" I already have learnt everything in high school biology "
" Do you believe so "
" I know so "
" Very well then I will ask you some questions and if you fail even one you will clean the school auditorium by yourself "
" Ok "
The teacher asked a flurry of questions and Saki answered all of them , short and precise.
" Ok I understand you are smart but that is no reason for you to sleep "
" Next time I won't " Saki said that mostly to just get off her back .
" Good then you can go now "
Saki gave a short bow then exited the room.
Outside he found Katase waiting for him .
" Good you are out , lets go " Katase said.
Saki followed her without saying a word. He just hoped most of the girls there would disapprove of him trying to join and let him go out.
A/N :
This is chapter is more of an omake than any else. Wrote most of it at night so there is bound to be a lot of problems. But then again it does not disturb the plot line alot so we cool.
By the way suggest which girls you want on the harem.
Ravel is a must .
I am debating heavily on putting Venalana in there
Runeas will be a fine addition though .
For Mittelt I am more on the negative side. I want her to be his second in command or something with her own life but it is still debatable.
Give me your suggestions on more people though
Oh and once again remember this is an AU . Expect the unexpected
