The Chains that Bind (Highschool DxD x Ghost Rider Reader)

Chapter 27

The ride to school wasn't as bad as yesterday. A good amount of sleep after his meet up with the yakuza members, not to mention actually sticking around for breakfast, and he made it to school with no trouble. Minor headaches here and there, likely more of the yakuza on the prowl to get (F/N), but there was a slightly bigger one for (F/N). Any stop he had to make, he took the moment to look around. He was out in the open, and the fluke from last night wouldn't help him out today. He tried to find the sources, but they weren't in sight.

"Anything?"

Nothing, the Rider responded. An unholy, and sinful, being watches you, but I cannot see them. (F/N) hummed in thought, wondering what kind of creature was following him. He gripped the handlebars tightly out of frustration.

"Today's been good so far, and I don't want to have criminals ruining it," he muttered.

There's nothing you can do about it, the Rider chimed in. The light turned green and (F/N) kept going. They will still be out there, and when we encounter them.

"Then you kill them and I suffer for the consequences."

Your prison is filled with sinners, perhaps going to jail wouldn't be a bad idea.

"We're not doing that."

(F/N) eventually did reach his school, parking his bike outside, chaining it to a post, and walking in. When he got to the homeroom, he was instantly called to.

"(F/N)!" A bright and chipper voice called out. He looked over and saw Imari waving to him, as she stood next to Minase, who just stared out the window. (F/N) walked over, standing with the two of them.

"What's up?" He asked, looking between both Imari and Minase.

"Come and sit over here with us!" Imari pulled out the chair of a desk next to Minase's, motioning for (F/N) to sit down. Though the morning had a bit of the Rider stepping, reminding him of the curse, (F/N) tried to keep things bright and remain in a good mood. He smiled and nodded his head, taking the seat Imari pulled out for him. As he approached to sit, Imari noticed the patch that was on his shoulder. She tilted her head in curiosity. "Mountain?" (F/N) took a cursory glance at her, before realizing the patch he was wearing.

"Oh, yeah," he said before flashing it to her and Minase, who looked away from the window to see what Imari was talking about. "I ran into a bit of trouble last night, and the girl I was with decided to thank me by sewing this patch on." Imari got a closer look at it, reading the kanji.

"What kind of trouble?" Imari asked. (F/N) opened his mouth to answer, but he found it best she didn't know and he kept his mouth shut.

"Nothing big," he said, releasing his jacket and leaning back in his chair. Imari quickly turned to Minase, looking at him with a confident smile.

"You know, we should add some patches to our school bags! Wouldn't that be cool!?" She asked.

"I don't care," he said before he looked back outside the window. Imari gave him a glare, before she looked away and crossed her arms. (F/N) tilted his head in curiosity at what Minase was looking at. He stood up and walked over to the window, looking out to see what it was; the only thing he could see was a blonde haired girl with curls looking down at a book in her hand. (F/N) leaned against the window for a moment and then looked back at Minase, confirming his suspicions.

The door to the classroom then opened up, and in walked Ms. Takashiro. She looked as normal as she did before, strolling into class with her work under her arm.

"Alright, everyone!" She called out, getting the attention of everyone in the room. "Take your seats, I have some important information to tell you all," she said, standing behind the podium and placing her stacks of books and paper down. Everyone hurried to their seats and sat down, looking towards the, rather beautiful, teacher. "It has been called to my attention, and the attention of every other teacher, that our headmaster is currently away for the time being. All he said was that he had something important to do. We currently have a headmistress to take his absence, at least until he returns. So any concerns you have can be directed to her, instead."
