HighSchool DxD: The Fallen Red Eyed King (Original Story)

Chapter 23: A Hybrid's Fear Has Come to Tread

Morning
Akamizu Residence
Hajime POV
I woke up like any other day.

I didn't feel anyone in bed with me, so I guess I slept alone tonight.

I sat up and stretched my arms out.

After a second, I yawned.

Hmm...

Hajime's Mind: (Alastor? Can you hear me?)

No answer. Is he ignoring me?

Hajime's Mind: (Alastor? Yo! Alastor!)

Still nothing. Did I make him mad or something? Just why...why am I getting ignored?

Hajime's Mind: (Alastor?)

Nothing. Not a word or sound from my subconscious.

Not gonna lie right now, but not hearing Alastor is making me really...really scared.

I hope I can figure this out soon. I don't want the girls to be spending time being worried about me cause I can't contact him.

Small Timeskip
I was in the kitchen after getting dressed an all.

I looked down at my arm.

My dad's a fallen angel and my moms a descendant of a ghoul emperor. Just what kind of hybrid am I?

I've heard ghouls are flesh eating cannibals who drink coffee and have very tough skin.

I wonder...

I soon grabbed a knife and aimed it at my arm. I felt a bit hesitant. But I have to test it.

Here it goes.

I tried to stab my own arm. But the knife just broke. Guess I inherited that gene.

???: Hajime!

I turned around and found Tomoe.

Hajime: Oh hey Tomoe.

Tomoe: Are you alright?!

Hajime: Yeah I'm fine. But the knife...not so much.

Tomoe: Ohhh....

I could see her look at the broken blade.

Tomoe: I'll clean it up.

I watched her grab the blade and then she took the handle and walked out.

I'm really grateful for her... but I should be more careful now too.

Kuoh Academy
No...still nothing.

I still can't contact Alastor. The anxiety is killing me to the core. Well...not really. But not hearing him has been making me feel alone.

I haven't really been alone since...that night.

The night a brutally murdered an entire yakuza. The same one that stabbed me in the back.

Soon, I heard arguing. Guess I'm near the kendo club.

Because of the recent peeping incidents and all, security cameras were added. We can look through our phones as members of the student council.

I should get there fast. So I ran over there.

Once I made it, I found Tsubasa there too. She was talking with Murayama, Katase, Issei and Motohama.

Where's Matsuda?

Hajime: Oi. What's going on?

3rd Person POV
The group turned to see Hajime making his way over.
