DXD : Shinji kouki

Chapter 7: Chapter 7 “A Glimpse Beyond Reality”



Then the normal routine of him getting scolded by said white haired girl took place, it wasn't something out of place to see in school the image of him bowing while constantly saying 'I'm sorry! I'm sorry!' to his friend.

Why did he do all that? He doesn't know, most of the time was to help his friend, Issei, with a favor he asked him, only to later find out it's one of his perverted antics and get caught up in the middle.

'Issei…' Shinji thought with a deadpan, his perverted friend. He and Issei met way back, his friend's parents one day asked the kid to befriend someone in the neighborhood they moved into, turns out the one he spoke with was none other than Shinji.

The black hair kid was playing football and asked Issei if he wanted to join him, the latter responded enthusiastically with a 'Yes!'.

They became best friends from that day, meeting almost every day to play outside or just in one of their houses.

They also started to play with another kid of their neighborhood, a tomboyish girl named Irina. Even though Issei thought the girl was, in fact, a boy, Shinji found out the hard way as he one day walked to the bathroom and saw the little girl naked, the latter proceeding to scream and throw the closest thing she had, the soap bar, making a perfect headshot and knocking out the kid.

He keeps texting the girl from time to time, she moved from Japan to Italy because of his father's work. They lost contact with her but one day in Middle School he received a message from a girl claiming to be Irina, he doesn't know how she got his number.

'So . .

. this is it, huh.

Damn, I thought my death would be more epic or something, not getting pierced by the tail of a freak…. ' Thought Shinji as he stared at the nothingness he was at the moment, he started to close his eyes, he felt really tired.

He wanted to fight back the urge to sleep, but his body wasn't responding to him. Sleeping was so tempting at the moment and the atmosphere the place gave wasn't helping.

He felt his head rest in this world, he slowly breath in and out, his mind calm again as he-

"That's your limit? I was expecting more from you to be honest. "

'Huh?' His eyes snapped open again, that voice, he heard it somewhere before, before he found himself in this place.

"Guess I was wrong about you. "

There it was again, what was that? Suddenly he was blinded by a dim light on the horizon of the dark world. His eyes accommodated to the light as he started to get close to it.

"Who are you?" Shinji asked when he thought he was close enough to speak to the thing and be heard.

"I'm just a passerby, I thought I would pay a visit to the one that's been emitting an odd aura lately, but I guess I was wrong in the end. You are nothing special.

"

"Special? What do you mean with-" Shinji stopped speaking as he felt the world he was in started to shake, "The hell was that!?".

"Hmm . .

. looks like our meeting won't be for a long time.

" Said the voice as it looked like it realized what was happening.

Again, the world shook, the darkness started to crack as crimson light started to engulf his vision, the teenager panicked at first but then the voice spoke again.

"I guess you are somewhat different if this happens hmm? Fear not youngling, we'll meet again and the next time we will have more time to talk. "

"Huh? Wait!-agh!" Shinji's attempt to stop the thing talking to him stopped, he felt a burning sensation on his chest. "The hell's going on!?" He shouted as he crouched on the floor, what's happening to him!? He felt his body burn little by little until the world changed to that of fire.

"What the-" He was interrupted as a burst of fire was heading in his direction, he couldn't move, his body wasn't responding. There was no way of him being able to evade it.

"Shit!" He shouted, the burst directed at him with fast pace.

"Aagh!" A teenager shouted with all his might as he rose from his bed, he was a mess of sweat, his breathing heavy as he adjusted to the place that surrounded him. "A dream?" He thought as he watched his palm, his eyes widened when he realized what happened yesterday, he quickly took off the shirt he was wearing and looked to his chest.

There was nothing.

"So. .

. it was a dream after all…" The kid sighed.

What a bad way to start the day, a dream of him dying, going to a dark place and meeting a weird thing. He closed his eyes as he tried to normalize his heartbeat and breath.

"I need a bath. '' Said Shinji Kouki as he took off the blanket covering him and proceeded to the bathroom.

Little did he know there was a figure lying next to him on the bed.

Shinji's morning routine was the same as always, turn on the TV, take off his clothes, take a shower, brush his teeth, change into his uniform and then have breakfast before leaving for school.

He was getting out of the bathroom when he spotted his uniform, it was clean and placed on the table situated in the living room. 'Weird, I don't remember leaving it there.

' The teenager said but paid no mind as he unwrapped the towel on his waist and proceeded to change into his school outfit.

As he changed he went to the kitchen and prepared some coffee. He loved that thing, was the best to wake you up after a good sleep, more helpful after dreaming a weird ass dream of death and whatnot, it's also a quick way to eat breakfast when you wake up late.

Being a lazy ass never got him time to prepare rice or anything else.
