5 Chapter 4

Later that night

As Karan wakes up he notices a crescent moon shining in the night, his mind also drifts to a very worried Akeno who is probably feeling sad that her companion is not with her.

Feeling his energy a bit refreshed he decided to test out on some minor techniques, ones that wouldn't kill his body if he tried using them.

Karan thrusts his hands and emits from his arms waves of flames that hits the surround area. Karan feeling as if his fire techniques are usable he decided to walk back to the Shrine, hopefully Akeno is sleeping or not to worried.

Karan begins walking towards the Shrine but something unnerving catches his attention, out on the other side of the hill spawned red circles of magic which lit up the night sky. Curious, Karan walked up towards the circle, and out of nowhere two figures emerged. Both of the figures were very young females, around his age one had very long red hair and green eyes as the other had short black hair with violet eyes.

"Sona-chan this is going to be amazing! We'll be living here when were old enough to join high-school!" the crimson haired one said to her friend.

"Hm. It seems so, it looks nice from up here." the black haired one said. The two then notices Karan who is staring at them with a very uneasy look, to Karan two young girls just appeared out of thin air and that weird red circle may have been used to somehow summon them.

"Hello cutie!" the young girl known as Rias said to Karan who had the same expression, "Would you like to join my peerage, I can see you as a very powerful Queen." She said smiling at the idea of having a queen as she currently has no one in her peerage yet. Both the young devils could feel the power of the young child, it surprised them that a human can emit such power.

'Me? A queen?' Karan took that as a joke rather than an insult to his pride as a man.

"What is your name?" the young girl known as Sona asked.

"Karan Lancer," he says with pride in every letter.

"Hello Karan, my name is Rias Gremory and this is my best friend Sona Stiri."

"Hello," he says politely.

"So would you like to become my queen?" Rias asked with sparking eyes

No thank you." Karan knows what a peerage is, Baraqiel also explained a few basic things about the races.

"W-Why?" Rias asks stunned that someone refused her of all people.

'I suppose it would be bad if I told them I live with Fallen Angels.' he concludes.

"I don't want to give up my humanity for someone else." he states causing Rias to scoff and Sona to understand what he is trying to say, becoming a devil would meaning being accepted a an evil being, plus Karan would be abandoning the other two factions as whole by becoming something they both despise together.

"You'll be happy with me." she promises

"I'm happy right now, but perhaps in the future we will come again." and with that he waves goodbye to the two devils who are both seemingly interested in the boy. Both the girls had the thought that they would achieve him and not the other.

With Akeno

As a lonely Akeno stared into the moon she wondered where her beloved friend could of gone, she was starting to think it was her fault he kept leaving and trying to avoid her as much as possible, which made her feel sad. The idea of her smothering him, or being too attached or just simply annoying him to no ends made her really think if that is the reason why he constantly leaves to go to his 'training'.

She hears footsteps come into her room and before her stands Karan who is looking at her with an unreadable gaze, "Karan," she says smiling at his presence.

"Hey Akeno." he says casually before jumping into bed, even if they were simple lighting attacks, they drained him to the point of exhaustion.

Karan patted the spot next to him prompting Akeno to come and rest alongside him, "Come Akeno, I can't sleep without you." he said happily. Akeno formed a smile and eagerly jumped into bed next to Karan, she snuggled in close going to her favorite spot and rested her head on his shoulder.

Next few days

As the next few days go by Karan get extremely bored with nothing to really do, Akeno has her own private lessons with her mother and father for training as well as learning about the history of the world. Karan always in the morning sweeps and cleans the Shrine which usually is a job for Shuri, who enjoys doing it, she doesn't have proof its Karan but she knows. She believes she is the one who should fix up the shrine and not Karan, but she hadn't seen him clean it, as whenever she wakes up, its already clean and if she tries to confront him about it, he is sleeping warmly with Akeno, who is buried underneath his arms.

She couldn't really be upset over his jesters to help out, she knew he was a boy with lots of manners and respect to those who show him hospitality. Even if she treats him like family he still feels as a guest, so he tries to keep himself a respectful as possible, it wouldn't look so good if he did something that went against these kind people.

Karan training wasn't due for another few days which annoyed him, he had his own training but could only use a few attacks then simply have to give up in fear of passing out and not being able to wake up for a while, or even possibly longer than that.

As he looks into the sky he notices it's looking a little to blue, "O Agni" Karan says before a torrent of flame came rushing out of his hand and into the sky, the cloud began to for thunder ones and Karan could guess that in this world the weather is much more sensitive, which worked greatly for Karan.

He wondered how his life is going to be in this world with Angels, Devils and Fallen Angels.
