Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Unspoken Bonds
Say Kouki-kun, why don't we make ourselves some breakfast. " A smile adorning her face while speaking her proposal.
"A-A-A-A-" He wasn't able to respond as his mind was constantly rebooting itself from the sudden turn of events, if he was a computer he would be trailing smoke by now.
"Is something the matter?" The raven haired girl asked while leaning closer to check the face of the boy, completely unaware of her current position and the lack of clothes she had.
"W-WH-WHAT THE HEEEEEEEEEEEELLL!" His words finally came out, waking up more than half of the apartments near his.
And thus, Shinji Kouki's new day as a devil has started.
"C'mon Kouki-kun, don't be so mean. " Akeno said as she walked next to the teenager, they were now walking to school together after eating breakfast and changing to their respective uniforms.
"Hmph!" Shinji turned his head to the other side, the raven haired girl made a hurt face after this. 'Don't be mean she says-' He thought, '-How am I supposed to react to someone sleeping naked next to me, again!'
After all the commotion caused by the intruder, the boy asked what happened last night. The girl told him that, after Rias appeared, Perse escaped and left a mess to be cleaned; he was extremely wounded because of receiving the impact from the tail so he needed to be treated quickly.
That meant for Akeno to drag him back to his apartment and start the healing process devils use.
"You weren't complaining last night. " She said while tugging an arm with the teenager, this shocked him and made half the people looking at her want to now kill the kid.
"H-Himejima-san, please don't joke like that. " The black haired teen said while removing the hand of the girl out of his.
"Ufufu, if you keep reacting like that I might do, Kouki-kun. " She said as she coped with his plea and stopped teasing the teenager, the latter just tugged his arms on his pockets and looked to the sky.
Shinji then turned his head to his company, as the dim light from the morning caressed the face of Akeno, he was now knowing why she was one of the Onee-Samas; her raven hair flowing like silk along her feminine figure, accompanied by a orange ribbon that match with her school uniform, her smooth skin not even having one imperfection present to show the world her insecurities, how her figure looked like molded by the gods, showing no imperfections and curved in every right place. Most of all what caught the teenager's attention were her eyes, they were violet, a color he had never seen anyone before to possess such orbs, they gave the feeling of dread, but, at the same time, of the warmth of the person.
Shinji must have stood staring for too long because Akeno turned to face him and smiled, the black hair teen just coughing in his hand and looked to the opposite side, his face adorned by a slight blush.
He was beginning to feel lucky to spend this time with such beautiful girls, and to know why Issei hated him for it.
"Quite a nice view you have here. " Suddenly the girl commented, deviating him from his thoughts.
"It's nice to walk to school like this. " "Yeah-" The boy finally responded and said, "-It is.
"
They were now walking through the park near his apartment. There were several kids playing around before going to school, as well as some students and adults sitting around talking to each other.
"Say Himejima-san, you live around here?" He asked to start a conversation.
"Not really. " She responded.
"I share a house with Rias, it's part of the Gremory group in this area. It was one of his father's demands to group her with me and stay in one of their residences.
"
"Heh. " He thought out loud.
"I can imagine his father doing that, and I can see where she got that strict attitude too. "
"She's not really like that, Kouki-kun, she cares a lot about her friends and family. " Akeno commented.
"Although you seem to bring the worst out of her lately, she almost killed you after finding you got pierced by Perse's tail again. "
"Yeah, I tend to have that effect on people. " He said while scratching his head.
As they continued walking towards school the pair again got silent, Akeno looking around and Shinji just looking to the sky.
"It must be nice. " He thought out loud.
"Living with a friend I mean, must be pretty cool. "
"It's quite entertaining, yes. " She commented.
"We always end up talking about school and life every night, we also share a lot of secrets because of it. "
"What about you, Kouki-kun?" The raven haired girl suddenly asked. "I don't remember seeing another door on your apartment other than yours and the bathroom, you come from another city and rent that place?"
"Not really. " The black haired teen responded.
"Since I was a small kid I lived in that apartment, sometimes people just came in and cleaned the place, cooked something for me and then disappeared. "
He tugged his hands on his pockets. "I don't really remember having a family to be honest.
Not a mother or a father, hell, not even a pet. I was always by myself.
" As the teenager looked to the floor, a small smile was drawn on his face. "The first friend I made was Issei.
He, me and another friend we had always got out and played together, they sometimes came to sleep at my place to keep me company. At Middle School I met Momo and also became friends with her; then I got a job at Hagiwara's dojo, the place I work.
"
"Oh. " Akeno was surprised by her team mate's honesty.
They once again resumed their silent walk
"Sorry. " She suddenly said.
"I mean, if this question disturbed you. "
"O-Oh. " He scratched his head while looking at her.
