Side Character DxD

Chapter 5: Awakening

"What is going on?" A man whispered to himself as he squatted on the roof of a temple overlooking Kyoto, a dark blue robe with a missing right sleeve hanging off his body, and a wide bamboo hat on his head.

He looked at the human child dangling off a building in the distance, tied by a rope that a Kamaitachi was slowly cutting.

The man knew he should interfere, cut the yokai's head off, and save the child.

But something about the child intrigued him.

Maybe it was because the child was a spirit inheritor who never made contact with the supernatural? Maybe it was the sacred gear that the child didn't even know he had? Maybe it was just simple curiosity for the sake of it?

Nonetheless, the man knew that should actual danger befall the child, he would step in and save him.

He looked on as the sickle-nailed ferret-man leaned closer to the boy, he whispered something.

Something that must have awakened the boy's sacred gear it would seem, If the ginormous beacon of light that engulfed the kid was anything to go by.

With a light that bright and a pillar that large, all of Kyoto would be able to see it.

He'll leave his brother to take care of wiping the people's memories and hiding it from the world, He has a new pupil to save.

And with a flash of lightning, the man was no more.

Chapter 5: Awakening.

...

The face of the monster that kidnapped me remained in my mind, the words he said repeating over and over.

"We remember what happened last time you were around" what was he talking about, this is my first time here.

"I'm going to kill you for what happened all those years ago" I still don't know what he's saying, Why would he want to kill me?

"I'll be taking your mother for myself." What followed was a bright flash and the words repeated.

I know I'm dreaming, he's been saying these words over and over and I still don't understand what's going on.

If only I could dream for him to "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

And the man disappeared.

"Finally," I say to myself as I lay down on the nonexistent floor of this dreamlike abyss I find myself in "He stopped talking"

Now I can finally gather my thoughts on what the hell is happening.

Was this why I reincarnated into this world? Some secret group of super-powered individuals wants somebody dead, and apparently, that person is me.

"But why?" I couldn't help but wonder out loud, why would they want me dead?

"I'm going to kill you for what happened all those years ago" I don't know what happened 'all those years ago', but somehow I'm involved.

Is it my father? Did he earn more gambling debt and now The knife-fingered Yakuza is after me and mom?

It can't be that, the guy acted as if I Myself were there, so maybe there's something else.

"Let's think about this like an Isekai," I say as I try and recollect shows with a similar prospect.

'The world is practically the same, so it's not a hard Fantasy or Sci-fi story.' That immediately removes the implications of Star-trek or Lord of the Rings.
