Chapter 1 - 1: A priest in red

Kuoh, a town in Japan that has quite a bit of history in the world. Not only because of its importance in raising individuals of character, it also has a role in the moonlit side of the world, a world which is very dark and foreboding. In kuoh, a town ran by a devil is a church somewhere near Kuoh academy. It was a pristine building, a chapel built for the worship of the Lord, and the one who kept it clean was a man in red who was strikingly familiar to some eyes. His unique white hair and red eyes, his unusual clergy robes seemed to paint him in an odd figure, especially in a country where the power of the cross wasn't as prevalent as it was in the west like Rome or even America. 

His name, his new life name, was Amakusa Hanami. Which is very ironic considering how he looks. Almost a spitting image of the apocryphal priest, whose history is known in japan. "Man, the moon looks good tonight" said Amakusa as he swept the steps to the chapel. He was very particular in that aspect, something along the lines of 'A chapel that isn't clean isn't fit for worship'. It also mught have to do with how he didn't like dirty spaces. 

"I'm gonna take a walk" he muttered after he finished his chores and began a walk to the park. The park was absolutely beautiful this time at night. The glistening waters flowing from the fountain, glowing with such a divine light it almost was akin to jewels which have been professionally cut and imbued with energy. 

It wasn't to far from the park, the church wasn't. It was only a ten minute walk as he arrived at the place. However, something caught him by surprise and he let out an audible gasp. Before him was a teenager whose blood was pooling underneath him. His stomach seemingly being pierced through with a spear of light. The other person here was a girl whose dress would make even a whore blush. 

Her eyes met his, a gleam of light was still in her hands, molded in the form of a giant spear, well spear was a generous description as it looked very different from a spear or naginata. "Oh, a priest in this town? Man, I must just be lucky" said the fallen angel Raynare as she readied her spear in her hands, poised for an attack. Now, Amakusa was human, he had inhuman powers granted to him through divine grace. 

Raynare threw her spear and before it even made contact with him, the priest, it was transformed into a harmless mass of water. Raynare looked on in surprise at the phenomenon and readied another spear of light, the sound of its creation filling the whole park area with its screeching not being very subtle. As she threw it again, the same phenomenon happened and it became harmless water, which only served to drench the priests close. 

'What is this? A sacred gear? But which one?' were the thoughts running through Raynare's mind as she felt a fluctuation in space and saw a magic circle forming near the boy with a sacred gear. 'Tch! Ill have to flea for now' she thought as she disappeared, much to Amakusas shock. 'A fallen angel, they look a whole lot different than the show' he thought as memories dredged up in his mind of a particular piece of media he watched on his friends recommendation. He only watched it for 2 seasons and only read four volumes of the light novel. 

He felt it was a bit much for him, though he watched it with his friend and he got off the train after that. It put into perspective that he truly was reborn, a miracle he did experience but he didn't want to believe he was reborn in a world with people who could potentially delete cities out of existence. 'I thank the Lord I'm not apart of the main cast' he thought as he caught a glimpse of someone with great importance. 

A figure emerged from the magic circle, a figure of great beauty and sensuality. A striking head of red hair, a uniform that said she was a student of Kuoh academy, and her body just radiated a mature beauty. Rias Gremory, heiress of the Gremory pillar family. She was one of the two overseers of Kuoh, along with Sona Shitori(Sitri). 'Is that the one who summoned me?' she thought as she saw the boy overflowing with crimson.

'A sacred gear, a dragon type' she thought as she formed a smile on her face. She thought she hit a landslide in fortune, but then something seemed to kick at her senses as she followed where the feeling was coming from. It was a man, who was dressed in priestly garb and eminated a holy feeling, like an extremely holy feeling. She figured that he must have dangerous powers, considering his holy aura which was particularly potent, as if he was an angel. 

"Hello ma'am, may I ask what your doing out on a fine night like this?" asked Amakusa, who already knew the reason why. The silence pervaded the area as Rias gazed at the priest, and she came to a conclusion he meant no harm, though she is being extremely vigilant about him. "I'm answering his summons" she said as she took out a casing which when opened, had an array of chess pieces of a crimson color. 

"Summons? So you must be a demon than" said Amakusa with a snap and a small smile forming on his mouth. "Yes, is that going to be an issue?" asked Rias, wondering if she should wipe his memories later. The smile on his face didn't give her a good feeling as he approached, and she was ready to launch an attack if so much as flinched. 

As he stopped in front of her, a mysterious card appeared in his hands as he handed it to her. "Would like to come to our church, Im holding a service tomorrow" said Amakusa as Rias just stared blankly at the invatational. "....." this seem to capture her feelings at the moment as the priest began to walk away.

"What is going on with my life?"
