Walking out of the front door of his house with a lazy yawn was Haru Namikaze, this century's current Hakuryuukou or White Dragon Emperor and wielder of Divine Dividing, the mid-tier Longinus Sacred Gear which halves the power of anyone or anything he touches, adding it to his own power and in turn grants him the power to kill gods and devils of all calibres and ranks. But, he hardly gave a shit.
He was a 17 year old third year student of the recently all girls turned co-ed academy that was Kuoh academy. He was your typical archetypal eroge protagonist with odd coloured hair at the fact it was ghostly white, he was 6'2 kinda muscular, he didn't work out much but when he did he didn't, and no that sentence was accurate and not a grammatical monstrosity. He liked to just chill out and sleep when he wasn't playing League of Legends or CS: Source or just illegally downloading music. He always looked exhausted because he was a night owl by nature and slept mostly during the day. His school work ethic and work ethic as a whole was terrible as he was a procrastinator of the highest order.
However, he had one hell of a mean streak if you pissed him off enough. You could talk all kinds of shit to him and he wouldn't care but if you dare insult his anime, game and music collection (and yes his friends too) and there'd be hell to pay. He found porn boring but did appreciate women when he was conscious enough to.
Right now, our main protagonist is sitting at his desk, snoozing the dreaded maths lesson away until WHACK! A heavy maths text book was slammed against his sleepy spiky mane head. Instead of jolting awake, he casually looked up from the desk and stared the teacher dead in the eye.
"You need something?" he said. The teacher glared at him.
"Young man, what are you doing?" he asked. Haru looked around the room and yawned again.
"What does it look like I'm doing, teach?" he replied, uncaring. The class looked on at the interaction with interest. But two specific people watched with more amusement present on their faces, the two idols of the school. The crimson haired Rias Gremory, and the raven haired Akeno Himejima. And why wouldn't they? The only boy in their class happened to be one of the least fucks giving people they'd ever seen.
"Sleeping in my class again." the teacher said pointedly. Haru sat up straight and grinned at the balding man.
"Well. It's no wonder you're a teacher. Your skills in observation are impeccably good sir. Well done. Slow clap. Bravo." Haru said with enough sarcasm to kill a buffalo. The teacher's face was beginning to turn red because of Haru's attitude. Instead of reacting, he just turned and stormed back to the board.
Haru chuckled to himself quietly and went back to sleep. It was half an hour later that the bell for the next lesson rang. Haru stood and stretched, picked up his bag and walked out of the classroom. He turned right down the hallway and saw Rias and Akeno waiting there, looking intently at him. Haru sighed, knowing he'd have to talk to them. Talking wasn't something he liked doing with people. Fucking around with them yes, talking to them, not so much.
"Yes?" He asked, getting straight to it. The two girls shared a quick glance before Rias spoke.
"You're Namikaze right?" she asked. Haru was not impressed.
"I've been here for a while so I'm not exactly new. Why ask me a question you know the answer to?" Haru replied. He was sure this was just to strike up conversation but really? Asking his name? Christ.
Rias mentally kicked herself for asking. She knew it was a stupid question, and an even dumber way to start talking with him. "Yeah, you're right ha ha, sorry. Anyway, Akeno and I wanted to discuss something with you." she said somewhat awkwardly.
Haru smirked a little at her awkwardness but then had an idea. "Wait. Before we discuss anything, will this get me out of geography?" he asked mischievously.
Rias tilted her head with a little confusion. "Why? You trying to—"
"Skip class? Yes. Yes I am. What of it?" Haru interrupted. Rias was a little taken aback at Haru's interruption but nodded. "Sweet, now let's be off and discuss, um, things and stuff."
As they walked, classmates and underclassmen gawked, stared and gossiped with each other as the trio composed of the Lazy King and the Queens of Kuoh passed by. Haru couldn't care less what they said but was somewhat annoyed at the attention being drawn to him.
Just around the corner was the other one. Issei Hyoudou, the unwitting Sekiryuutei, or Red Dragon Emperor, wielder of Boosted Gear, another mid-tier Longinus Sacred Gear that doubles the user's power every ten seconds and can transfer it to others. Basically the opposite to Divine Dividing. He and his two friends Matsuda and Motohama made up the renowned and reviled Perverted Trio. They all seethed in jealousy that some third year douche-nozzle was walking with two of the greatest ladies a man could be in the presence of in this school.
Issei was about 5'8, of average build for a 16 year old boy, had brown-black hair with a small bit tied at the back at the base of his skull and golden eyes. He wore a normal Kuoh boys uniform of a white shirt and black trousers with white trainers, but his shirt was open showing his red T-shirt. Strangely enough Haru's was similar but with a white T-shirt underneath. Coincidence? I think not!
"Dammit, look at that guy. Bastard's walking with Rias McJiggle-Jugs and Akeno Jiggleot! Why do some guys get all the luck!?" the bald Motohama raged. Bespectacled Matsuda scowled at the sight, wondering the same thing while Issei was captivated by Rias as she strode past with flawless poise.
"Still though, he's a third year. The only male third year and the famed Lazy King too. We were at a disadvantage from the get-go." Matsuda reasoned, getting a nod from Motohama. If it wasn't the third year Lazy King stealing the girls from the trio, it was the second year Prince Charming Kiba Yuuto.
Meanwhile, with the King and Queens, Haru Idly walked with them with his hands in his pockets as Rias and Akeno smiled to the crowds of admirers. Finding a quiet corridor, Rias asked him what she'd intended from the start.
"Namikaze—" She began.
"Haru. Just call me Haru." he cut in again, causing a twitch of annoyance in Rias' left eye and a small giggle of amusement from Akeno.
"Anyway, Haru. Do you know what Akeno and I do?" she asked. Haru thought for a moment. Another moment. A few more moments... Ugh, he was not good at thinking on Mondays or mornings in general.
"You err… Um… Fuck it I don't know. I doubt I care either but go on." he said. Taking his bluntness in stride, Rias replied.
"We are a part of the Occult Research Club. We research strange goings on like paranormal activity and try to debunk urban legends and things like that. We wanted to ask if you'd join." she said. Knowing what he was going to say she quickly added "Yes it'll allow you to escape lessons."
Haru grinned and nodded. "Ah, you truly know what appeals to me. Alright I'll join. Where's it at and when?"
Rias and Akeno smiled. "It's at the old school building. Meetings can take place at any time during the school day or after school." Haru nodded.
"I'll be there. Probably. Maybe. Just don't count on me turning up." He said before resuming his walk with them. "So we headed there now?"
Rias nodded as they went down a set of stairs and into the lobby of the school, which was the first place you'd enter upon walking through the doors.
Haru stood in a large room with Rias, Akeno, the first year school mascot Koneko Toujou and the second year Prince Charming Kiba Yuuto. It was quite a nice room with a large mahogany desk at the far end facing the large double doors, a table in the centre of the room with two sofas opposing each other at either side of the table. Besides just this room, the entire old school building was open to him so he could roam around, however Rias had warned him that one room was sealed off because it was unsafe. He knew that was bullshit but hey, they didn't know the things he did, like him being the Vanishing Dragon.
Real nice place they've got here, eh Haru? came the voice of Albion, the spirit of the white dragon sealed inside of Divine Dividing. Albion doesn't speak often when it comes to small talk, but he would offer his two cents in Haru's mind when he felt like it.
Yup, it is quite nice. These devils have got a good set up here.
Be careful though. You know who she is right?
Of course Albion. That's Sirzechs' little sister. Not so little anymore though if you catch my drift.
Mind out of the gutter please. Ddraig will be having the same problem with that mega-pervert Issei Hyoudou. You know he hasn't even awakened Ddraig yet? Albion said with a laugh.
I know it's… hold on Rias is talking to me. He snapped to attention, realising she was now looking a little irritated. "Sorry what?" he said. Rias sighed in exasperation and started again.
"Now I'm sure you're curious about this place but—"
"Not really." Haru cut in yet again. This was getting on Rias' nerves but Akeno was again amused by it. "But I do have a question. You're not human, not one of you. Am I wrong?" Haru asked with a small smirk. All in the room were shocked by his astute comment, but he wasn't wrong. He could sense their power. Rias' Power of Destruction. Akeno's powerful Fallen Angel blood. Koneko's Nekomata aura and Kiba's Sacred Gear Sword Birth.
"It would benefit you not to lie to me." Haru said unusually sharply as his Sacred Gear manifested as a pair of large white dragon-like wings with translucent blue energy as the main wing membrane that erupted from his back. He lifted from the floor and his aura pulsed off him.
"The Vanishing Dragon?" Rias questioned as she paled but hid her fear with an overall calm and proud demeanour.
Haru's eyes flashed as his grin widened. "You're God damn right."
