Birds Of A Feather

Training Begins

I put on the full Kuoh academy uniform and headed off to school I had barely made it 10 feet into the school yard when all the girls started pointing and staring at me " OMG who is that?!" one girl said "He's even hotter then Kiba" said another.   On the other side the boys were fuming "Are you kidding me?  First Kiba, then Issei now this fucker."  One said "Oh God why are you doing this to me." another sobbed.  "God is dead man" I whispered to myself that was one of fist things father told me about my world

I made it to my class and was introduced to everyone then the teacher spoke "Mr. Kurokami take the window seat next to Ms. Himejima." The boys in room went red with rage. I went over to my seat, nodded to Akeno and sat down. After minutes of lectures we were told to partner up with the person to our left and check each others work I turned my head just enough to make eye contact with Akeno and she handed me her paper and took mine. I looked over her work her penmanship was elegant and not a single wrong answer. "Powerful and smart  I would expect nothing less from the queen of the Rias Gremory" I said handing back her paper. " Thank you, you did excellent as well." she said as she handed me back my own. She must have seen the smile one my face. "What are you smiling about?" she asked. "Even though you are a devil your aura still has hints of a fallen angel.  I find it comforting knowing I have a fellow fallen angel my own age at this school it's nice to be in the company of one's own kind." The same faint smile from last time appeared on her face and that jogged my memory.  So I turned and said, "By the way Ms. Himejima, 'Akeno interrupted "Please just call me Akeno"'  Ok, Akeno I wanted to ask you what you meant when you said that you and I are not so different.  The only similarity I see between us is that we are both children of leader class fallen angels." The smile on Akeno face faded and she looked down "I will tell you, just not now."

Over the next few days I learned the gossip around the school the first being Akeno and Rias were considered the two great beauty's of Kuoh academy "Well in my opinion even though she is a solid 10, Rias's beauty pales in comparison to Akeno's" I said to the boys I was talking to, only for them to start giggling and pointing behind me. I turned around to find Akeno and Rias standing behind me. Rias looked at me with an annoyed face while Akeno was blushing. I looked at Rias who kept staring at me. "What? I'm not apologizing for saying my opinion beauty is in the eye of the beholder." The other piece of gossip was that with my arrival the female student body had started calling me and Rias's first knight, Kiba Yuto the two great gentlemen of Kuoh academy.  I have barley been at this school a week and I'm already the 2nd most popular guy at school. Oh and the girls also told me to stay clear of the perverted trio. I rolled on the floor laughing because I was right on the money when I guessed Issei was part of the group.

Speaking of Issei, while on the Gremory family train ride to the underworld, where  the ORC and I would be undergoing a long training session, Issei and we got into a small augment.  At the request of the majority of the girls at school, I sealed the strategically carved holes on the school walls used to peer at the female study body.  This did not sit well with the perverted trio since they now had absolutely no spots for viewing the beauties of the school.  Issei was letting me have it on the train, he kept going on and on about how his "activities" gives him substance.   After going on for a few minutes, I had had my fill. "Oh will you shut up,  do you ever stop thinking about breasts for one goddamn minute. Gees there is more to a woman then just her chest." I know that" Issei scoffed "but its there defining feature" a wicked smile spared across my face "So, if Rias woke up tomorrow with absolutely no curves and a flat chest you wouldn't like her as much?  Is that what you're saying Issei?" All eyes turned to Issei as his face turned as red as Rias's hair "No comment" he squeaked, as he looked at Rias who was giving him the death stare. I lean back in my seat "I know you dream is to have a harem and though you have every right to pursue that dream,  I still think it's stupid.  Harems in general are stupid. Now don't get me wrong. I do see the appeal of one, but there not for me. Call me old fashion but I'm a one woman type of  man."

 When we finally got to the underworld I was completely blown away by Rias's mansion it was even bigger then the mansion I grew up in.  The dinner and company was delightful.  Rias' parents were friendly, but the worry in their eyes was evident.   Having the son of the man who tried to kill their daughter in there home, had to have been stressful.  The following day as we were about to leave for the training session,  Akeno turned to Issei  and said goodbye to him  by smoothing his face in her cleavage.  I shook my head in disgust and disappointment.  "You can do so much better than him." I muttered.

Because Akeno and I were both fallen angels we were sent to train with Baraqiel.   Baraqiel, was good, he could win almost any fight and I was intimated by him.   He knew of my fight with his daughter and he could snap me like a twig if he wanted to - not a good combination.   But to my surprise, and like everyone else, he blamed Issei for the altercation. 

As the training progressed I found my confidence increasing, as my newly acquired skills out performed Akeno's.   Adding to my growing confidence, was the feeling Baraqiel was pleased with my work ethic, strength and my determination.  I felt I was breaking through and he was beginning to see me as me and not as Kokobiel's son. 

Finally for the last two weeks Barsqiel sent Akeno and I into a vast unforgiving forest for survival training.  During those two weeks I would unintentionally drive the wedge that would drive Issei and Akeno apart and open her heart to me.

I hope you have a kick ass day!
