Xuelan shuffled her feet as she looked at the students in front of her. She gave a cheerful smile as she waved at the students.
"Hey, everyone! My name's Xuelan. It's nice to meet you all. I hope we can be friends!"
She giggled as she noticed some of the students giving her appreciative looks, the girls complimenting her hairstyle, and the males complimenting her physical appearance.
Only one student was not happy at seeing Xuelan, and he didn't bother to cover it up. Xuelan smiled as she looked over at the students, but then her smile faded slightly as she noticed the look on Issei's face.
Cold, narrowed, brown and yellow-orange eyes stared right into Xuelan's blue-green eyes. Xuelan felt her body shake, and she gulped down a nervous lump in her throat.
"Xuelan-chan, why don't you go sit next to Hyoudou-kun. He was a new student as well before you."
Xuelan forced a smile as she walked over to sit next to Issei, who removed his attention from her and glared at the chalkboard. The Chinese Devil crossed her arms as she sighed.
'Going to his house didn't work. Enrolling into this school was a sure way to get close to him.'
Issei inwardly sighed as he tried to control himself. He wasn't exactly in a murderous rage, but he was mad enough to throw a desk out the window. He would just have to settle with sitting next to the Chinese Devil.
Who wouldn't stop bothering him.
Sighing, Issei put his hand on his cheek, ignoring Xuelan's stare.
'Damn it. I knew I should have listened to Ophis and just stay at home. I wonder what she's doing right now?'
Issei's House
Ophis tilted her head as she silently walked around Issei's house. Moments after Issei left his house, the Ouroboros Dragon decided to go to sleep on Issei's bed. Not even 10 minutes later, did her stomach start growling.
"I, am hungry."
As she walked into the kitchen, she opened the cabinets, and refrigerator, and let an expression akin to disappointment form on her face.
"No, doughnuts, cookies."
Shutting the refrigerator door, Ophis went to look in the living room, and stopped when she saw a flyer laid upon the table. Tilting her head again, Ophis picked the flyer up and unfolded it, looking at the title.
"Fortune, Cooky."
The Phenex Mansion
The mansion was quiet, completely void of all sound. Sitting in the living room of the Phenex mansion were none other than the members of late Riser's peerage.
Yubelluna, Riser's Queen, stared at the walls with a lifeless gaze as she held herself. She couldn't believe that Issei had murdered her Riser!
'That boy! That awful boy! How could he do that to Riser-sama?!'
A young girl with long blonde hair and dark blue eyes shivered as she remained still. Her hair was tied in twin ponytails with large, drill-like curls, with blue ribbons keeping them in place. The front of her hair had several bangs hanging over her forehead, with a V-shaped fringe hanging over the bridge of her nose. She wore a long, pink dress with white frills and a magenta bow in the front.
Ravel Phenex, the younger sister of Riser, was just as deathly quiet as the rest of her brother's peerage.
When she witnessed her brother's death, Ravel didn't know what to think. It was as though time had ceased in her mind. The emotions she had felt during that time were changing so rapidly, she didn't what to feel.
Issei Hyoudou.
The young man who had killed her older brother.
The boy honestly frightened her to the core. That bone-chilling glare he gave towards her and the rest of the peerage. It was a sight wouldn't leave Ravel's mind.
When Lord Phenex had asked Riser's peerage to retrieve Issei in order to discuss his inheritance from Riser, Ravel and the other members had no intention of going anywhere near Issei.
Except Xuelan. The Chinese Rook was the only one who had volunteered.
Kuoh Academy
Issei sighed as he listened to the teacher go about her lesson. Normally, he would have been able to concentrate, if not for the fact that Xuelan was staring at him.
The Chinese Devil kept her gaze locked on the young man. She may have been a little frightened of Issei, but Xuelan wouldn't let that hinder her resolve.
And so she enrolled herself into Kuoh Academy, in order to get close to him. It was by mere coincidence that she would be put in the same class as Issei.
As she continued to stare at Issei, she could feel his ki rising ever so slightly. Widening her blue-green eyes, Xuelan removed her gaze from Issei quickly, and immediately after, Issei's energy started to decrease.
"Issei Hyoudou."
