Today was the day. It was Sunday… meaning he had a date to get to!
"Oh, man I'm nervous," Haru muttered as he paced around his room. "What do you even do on a date? Should we go to an amusement park? No, Kuoh's went out of business two months ago. Maybe a cafe? Nah, that sounds lame. Oh! Maybe eat out at a restaurant? Wait, what if she hates fast food!" He growled in frustration, gripping his hair. "Dammiiiiiiit! I haven't played enough eroge games to prepare me for this!"
He probably should've focused more on the dating SIM aspect of Eroges rather than focusing on the h-scenes.
"Okay, Haru, just calm down," he told himself. "Calm down… you got this. Everything is gonna be fine… gonna be fine!" He gave a swift sigh, and then looked at his attire. He stared at what he was wearing before his shoulders dropped again. "Oh, who am I kidding?! I don't have any good clothes!"
He tried to find the best attire he had in his closet, but he still didn't think it was good enough. He just knew this was going to be a horrible date. Why didn't he play enough dating games that could have helped him with this? He thought he had dressed up in the nicest clothes he could find, but when he looked at himself in the mirror, he was beginning to doubt whether or not these clothes would fit him. He wore a light jacket over a red shirt with a small black v-neck and khaki slacks that used to belong to his father, along with black dress shoes.
Of course, the object he found in the trunk was still in his pocket. He thought of it was a sort of good luck charm, since he met Yuuma Amano the same day he brought it with him to school. And today, he's gonna need all the good luck he can get. Which was why he brought it with him on this critical day.
"Haru!" his father called. "If you don't hurry, you're going to be late!"
"R-right!" Haru shouted back. He doubled check to see if he had everything, then gave himself another once over, and nodded. "Okay… work with what I've got! Here I come, oppai!" With a strong nod, he whirled around, and left his room.
No resident in the Hyoudou household had noticed the soft glow emanating from inside the storage room.
Within said room, a series of runes etched on the floor were dimly lit in a circle.
"Buchou," a feminine voice called out to the bathroom's occupant. "Our adorable kouhai is on the move."
"I see. Thank you, Akeno." Rias Gremory emerged not long after her shower was over. Anyone at school would tell you that she was beautiful. Her hair was a beautiful shade of crimson, and her eyes in contrast, wondrous sapphire. She wore her school attire, which was a tight-fitting shirt with a dark red skirt, and a small black cape around the shoulders. Beside her was Akeno Himejima, who awaited her outside the door. She was equally as robust as Rias, as her shirt seemed to have more trouble keeping her *ahem* chest in place. She possessed long ebony black hair, tied back into a long ponytail, and violet eyes.
To any outside of their social circle, or those who exist in the norm, Rias and Akeno were considered perfection of beauty. Smart, graceful, humble, and polite. They greeted everyone around them, even the more unsavory people. They excelled in everything they accomplished. Truly, they were the Great Onee-samas of Kuoh Academy.
However… no one knew that they were not human.
They were Devils.
Beings of Sin and residents if the fiery realm of Hell. At least… that's what any religious christian nut would tell you. While it is true that they have the traditional bat wings and reside in the Underworld, they are not quite like what the Bible depicted them as. For one thing, they looked like humans. Another thing was that they did not take people's souls… usually, anyway. Humans would instead be offered up with money or possessions and such.
Rias Gremory, true to her name, was the heiress to the household of Gremory, one of the 72 Pillars. Bearing the name of the demon who loved all things, regardless of race or gender, she was also a bloodline member of the House of Bael, which called for the power to destroy all things. Her control over this was what granted her the name; "The Scarlet-Haired Princess of Ruin."
However… that was not all there was to her.
"Lancer," she called. "Is the Fallen making any moves yet?"
The person she was speaking to was seated on one of the couches in the room. He was a tall, lithe male dressed in a black suit that was designed for royalty, sharply contrasting with his pale complexion and long, silk-like white hair. The coat of his suit was long enough to reach his knees, and had fur-lined cuffs, with the white cuffs of his dress shirt peeking out from within. His ears had piercings, one earring each. A neatly trimmed beard adorned his face. His eyes were narrowed and sharp, colored a cold gold. His right leg was crossed over his left as he read the hard-bound book in his hands.
"She is indeed, master." The man spoke in a smooth, baritone voice without looking up from his book. "She is currently heading over to the lecherous male as we speak."
Akeno smiled slightly. "Well, let's hope all goes well," she remarked. "Just in case, I have Rider on standby. Yuuto and Berserker should be on the lookout as well."
"That's good." The red-headed girl nodded as she washed her hair.
Lancer huffed. "I fail to see why the male interests you, my bride," he remarked. "True, he holds a Sacred Gear… but given what I've seen so far, he's the equivalent to a helpless babe who can't kick to save its life."
"Perhaps," Rias nodded. "However, I'd like to think he might have potential." She paused, then bit her lip. "I only hope he joins my peerage willingly… not the way I fear it will."
"You are too optimistic, my bride..." the man shook his head. "I can already anticipate the fool will fall by sunset."
