The bonds that we create during our lives are strong ties. They ensure that we have people that we trust around us, people that we'd drop anything and run to their rescue. Such bonds can transcend the regural understanding of humans. A fact that was proven for a group of 3 friends the hard way.

They were just walking around town, an usual activity for the weekend. Casual jokes were thrown around as they wandered aimlessly, that is until they were suddenly cornered by a large group. This group demanded the 3 friends followed them but in the end it alk went sideways.

As one of the 3 was fighting with one of the individuals he suddenly felt pain his abdomen, only to look down and see a gunshot wound. Collapsing on the ground with blood trickling down his mouth, the youngster had no chance of survival and ended up giving his last breath shortly after.

The same fate followed for the other 2, neither of them able to withstand the gunned attackers. It was indeed a bloody day, the families mourned the dead with great sorrow.

In reality however, the death of those 3 was pitied by God. He decided to offer them a new start and transfered they souls to another world, a world that they knew well. But it is time we go from the start.

The rays of sun made their way trough the window of a bedroom, lightly touching the face of a dirty blonde haired teenager. The youngster shifted in his sleep until growing annoyed with the warmth from the sun resulting in him raising his upper body off the soft mattress.

"Fucking sun. I swear I'll... huh?" Rubbing his nose the teen opened his blue eyes suddenly and looked around confused. His confusion was born from the fact that his voice sounded completely different, and the words he spoke were no longer resembling his maternal tounge, despite this they were still familiar for some unknown reason. "...Nani... WHAT THE FUCK?!" Throwing the bed covers off, the blonde haired teen stood up and looked for a mirror, upon taking a look at himself his eyes grew wide.

"AGH!" A wave of excruciating pain shot through his head, disorienting him to the degree he was brought down to his knees, teeth grinding over each other in an effort to subdue the agony he was currently in.

Akira!

Shut it jackass!

Big bro, where are you going?

Yamasaki, may you tell us what's so funny?

#&$*#! YOU BASTARDS!

A voice echoed, accompanied by the blurred image of a woman smiling down at him passing his eyes before quickly being replaced by the figure of someone throwing a punch forward, a young girl staring up at him,a teacher calling him out and finally someone calling out to him in worry, these images weren't the only ones that appeared. A miriad of scenarios invaded his mind making him unable to keep up anymore with them.

Finally, after some time it stopped. He was actually able to stand up again, breathing heavily. His whole being was shaken to the core, but he was able to realize what happened, despite it all.

"...Shit actually happened... I died and got reincarnated... Akira Yamasaki, was it?" He was referring to the name he heard in those strange memories. It appeared that this Akira was actually himself from this world, similarities were apparent anyway. Such as the great height of 6'2 feet, the dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, at the same time however this body looked more in shape and with sharper features.

"...This Japanese is weird however. " Each times he talked Akira heard what only sounded as this language from his vocal cords, it was strange however since in his past life he knew absolutely no Japanese, only heard it in anime but now it just rolled off his tounge instinctively. "At least it's easy to understand now... Crap I'm getting side tracked."

Quickly realizing that he needed to make a plan accordingly to the world he was in, the teen switched into a pair of casual clothes and sat down on the bed thinking.

"A clue would have been nice... If this is High school of the dead then I'm really gonna need a plan. Then again it could be some bs like Sao." A shudder ran up Akira's spine upon thinking about the chance he was in that shity anime.

"Akira, are you awake?" A female voice asked from downstairs. It didn't take the blonde a lot of thinking to realize who it was.

"Yeah. I'll be down for breakfast in a bit, mom!" Akira yelled back and then gathered as much information from his memories as possible. He was currently in his 3rd year of high school, living with his mom, dad and little brother. It was a strange feeling to realize he now had a little brother instead of a sister but the teen instantly looked past that when he remembered the name of his high school.

"...Kuoh." It all clicked. He was in DxD, the world him and his friends wanted to go to in his past life. His hands trembled lightly from excitment, a milion tought being formed along with questions. "Most importantly... Are the other 2 fuckers here?" It was the most pressing matter, if they were it was sure to be an interesting chain of events.

Having no way to find an answer to those questions without getting trough the day, Akira walked downstairs and saw his family already eating. His mother looked up at him and smiled signaling him to take a set and bite in to the food. Doing just so the blonde picked up a piece of sushi using a pair of chopsticks only to be disappointed by the taste.

'...I'm getting a burger the moment I go out.' He tought, the taste of the fish not sitting well at all with the youth.

*Timeskip*

After breakfast Akira headed out and stopped at the first restaurant. He bought a regular burger and walked twords the school, it was Saturday meaning he didn't have classes for another day but the best option to meet with his friends was there.

'If these memories are right Issei already should have become a devil by now.' It appered that the pervert was not transformed that long ago either since it appers Akira saw him yesterday handing flyers for the ORC. 'Need to stay away from the devils somehow... Doubt that's gonna happen tho, if the 2 are alive they're sure to jump on Akeno the moment they see her.'

To be blunt, his friends were sure to jump on the hot devil. They just couldn't help it, not that he was any better in regards to other characters but those were not in the world of DxD.

Finally arriving at the school gates Akira threw away the empty burger wrapper and starred for awhile at the huge building. It sure looked just like in the anime, way too fucking big.

"Weird seeing someone here on a Saturday." A voice called out, looking to his left Akira saw a teen taller than himself by roughly a inch, with brown hair and brown eyes. It made him think about one of his friends, not being sure however stopped him from being able to confirm it.

"Yeah... I'm waiting for some friends." The blonde answered and continued to think of a way to check if this was indeed his friend without making it awkward if it wasn't, it the dawned on him just as the brown haired teen was about to talk again. "My disappointment is at maximum and my depression is crippling. "

After a second of silence the brown haired teen's eyes widened and started at Akira. It was as if he himself wasn't sure of what he heard but then came up with an answer.

"Bros before hoes?" At that Akira smirked and looked at the teen and raised his hand up a handshake that was accepted with no tought from his old friend.

"You fucker... We're actually here dude!" Akira shook the brown haired teen in pure excitement by the shoulders.

"I know! Just how many times did we talk about this?! Now it's real can you belive it @^$%?... Huh?" When the brown haired teen tried to speak his friends name all that came out was a stramge sound that made no sense for either of them.

"@#&%!... Seems we can't say our names out loud. This world's me name is Akira Yamasaki. Weird I know." The blonde quickly deciphered what was happening thanks to all of the manga and light novels he read.

"That's kinda dumb. Either way guess you call me Rey Lionhead." The brown haired teen said his name with a hint of pride seemingly thinking it was a cool name.

"...hahahahahahahahah Lionhead?! Oh my god that's the dumbest shit I ever heard, in both lives!" Akira laughed loudly, not being able to hold back his reaction to his friends new name.

"You're talking, Yamasaki?" Rey said annoyed, trying to get back.

"It's a Japanese name at least. What, do you have a lion's head or something? Like dude, that's just stupid." An argument was sure to erupt from this talk, the 2 always tried to get the other with jokes like this. "But now's not the moment. We have to go and look if you know who is alive. Then figure a plan out."

"...Fine." Rey wanted to argue more or the names but ultimately decided against it, his friend was right after all. "Where do we start looking?" He asked, not able to figure anyway to find their lost friend.

"That's the question... Let's walk around and see if any ideas pop up." The blonde turned and started to walk in a random direction, Rey followed right next to him, it was a quiet stroll. Both scrambled their heads for a solution but no idea seemed to stand out.

"Yo, you 2 idiots ever heard of anime treatment?!" A voice shouted from behind the 2 friends, as they turn to look they see a slightly shorter teen then them with chestnut hair, green eyes and glasses.

"...You did not just yell that out." Rey said dumbfounded, he knew who this person was thanks to that yell true, but actually saying that where people can hear you was something else.

"Yes i did, have a problem with it @#^$* ?... Wtf did I just say?!" The chestnut haired teen was clearly confused by the sound of his distorted voice.

"We can't say our old names. For now I'm Akira and the dumbass is Rey." The blonde in the group clarified.

"Aha alright. I'm Akio Panamera then." The teen walked forward and joined his friends, the 2 shared a glance then laughed out loud at their friends name.

"Ok that's just dumb." Rey said after calming down.

"Agreed." Akira nodded his head and stood up straight.

"Fuck both of you." Akio spat out and shook his head. "Now, what the hell do we do?"

"We make sure this isn't some kind of fucked up DxD world, if it isn't different from the original we can easily follow it. But rn we should find a place that's not so open, and then talk. " Akira told his idea which his friends agreed to after slight consideration. Deciding to head back to Akio's place and figure everything out the group of friends made their way through the crowded street, unaware of the stares from a strange figure.
