This is an Issei x Ophis story. Don't worry it still Harem just Ophis is the main pairing.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Issei Hyoudou was for all intents and purposes a normal 6 year old human being. He had two loving parents, a love of superheroes, and a kind friend, but his life was about to change.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXCXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
'I'm so bored.' Issei thought to himself as he stood up from the sandbox where one could see a failed attempt at a sand castle. "Why'd Irina-san have to be sick today? I wanted to play." His best friend Irina Shirou was sick at home, which sucked for Issei because he had woken up ready to go to the park today.
He turned his head to try and find his mother. He quickly found her on the other side of the park. She was sitting on a bench and happily conversing with other mothers about God knows what. "Well I don't want to pull Moma away from her friends. Guess I gotta find somethin' to do."
He turned to walk back to the sandbox, but froze as he saw something he didn't expect. In the sand box was a girl. She had black hair, gray eyes and pointy ears. She was dressed in some kind of gothic lolita fashion. But what really grabbed the young Hyoudou's attention was what was in front of her. She had somehow turned to unimpressive lump of sand that Issei wanted to use for his castle into a miniature sand dragon, complete with wings and scales. It was honestly one of the coolest things that Issei could ever remember seeing in his short life. He quickly ran to the girl, excited. "Hey how'd ya make this?" He asked in eagerness.
She slowly looked up at him and responded, "Draig". She spoke in a very monotone fashion, almost like one of those robot he saw on t.v.
Issei, while confused, ignored her comment and asked again. " Seriously, how did you make this, it looks so cool?"
"It, wasn't much." She slowly said, "All I did, was this." At her words she pointed her finger at a random spot in the sand and that sand started to move. Grains floated up and rearranged themselves, until, in front of her finger, there was a perfect replica of the original sand dragon.
"That's so awesome!" The brown haired boy exclaimed. Suddenly, his face gain a look as if he remembered something. "Oh," He began, my name's Issei by the way. Hyoudou Issei. My friends call me Ise. What's yours?"
She waited for a moment before pointing at herself and responding. "...Ophis".
"Ophis, huh?" He said testing the name in his mouth, "I'll call you Ophis-chan then. That alright?" He asked for confirmation.
"...Very well,...Draig" She eventually said.
Issei was confused now. Did she hear his name wrong or something. Who the heck was Draig? He pointed to himself and spoke "Uh, my name is Issei, not Draig. Issei."
Ophis also pointed at him and replied, still monotone, "Draig".
Issei was beginning to get annoyed now and said his name again. "Issei".
"Draig" she responded again.
"Issei" He tried again.
"Draig" He had no success.
"Issei"
"Draig"
"Issei"
"Draig"
"Issei!"
"Draig"
"Issei!"
"Draig"
"ISSEI!"
"Draig"
"LISTEN, MY NAME IS ISSEI, SO JUST CALL ME ISSEI!"He shouted as he stood up, reaching his six year old limit.
Ophis looked at him for a moment. "...Okay, Issei"
"Thank you," he sighed, sitting back down, "Finally. Now let's play!" He said happily.
"Play?" Ophis saved as she tilted her head, showing her confusion.
"Yeah," Issei responded, "we're at a park. There's tons of stuff to do here. Let me show ya." And with that, he grabbed his her hand and pulled her around the rest of the park.

"Man today been fun." Issei said as he looked at Ophis. He was lying on his back while Ophis was sitting next to him. They had been hanging out for several hours now and Issei was having a blast. It was really fun playing with her, even if she didn't know any of the games. He had quickly decided to limit physical games with Ophis. This decision was made after a game of tetherball with the black haired girl. Well, more like half a game. She hit the ball once and the cord totally broke, letting the ball fly off to who knows where. But regardless they still had enough stuff to do that it lasted them till sunset to finish. He turned to his new playmate. Well Ophis-chan, did you have fun?"
Ophis looked at him before responding. "I suppose so," she started just as monotone as that morning, "but I am not sure…...What exactly does 'fun' feel like."
He sat up, confused by the question. He scratched his cheek, trying to think of a good answer. "Hmm, I guess, fun….is that happy feeling you get by hanging with your friends." He responded.
"...Friends?" She looked him dead in the eyes as she tilted her head. "I ...have always... been alone…...I have never had friends…..Does that mean….I did not have fun?"
Issei eyes widened at her words. 'Never had friends? That's so-'. His face suddenly took a look of determination. "You're wrong!" He suddenly shouted.
"Huh" Ophis responded, not understanding her outburst.
"I said you're wrong!" Is said it again with just as much conviction as before. "You're wrong because you said that you never had friends. Well that's wrong because I'm your friend!" A fire was burning inside of Ise as he gave this declaration, and it was clear that that fire had no intention of going out just yet.
"You're my…...friend? She asked slowly. "What does it mean…..to be a friend?"
He looked her straight in the eye as he spoke. "A friend is someone who cares for you, someone that will help you whenever you need, someone that no matter what won't let you be alone when you need them." At this point, to make sure that his speech didn't sound half-baked, he started quoting lines from an anime he couldn't remember which one. But that didn't make the words any less true or important in his mind though.
At his words Ophis' eyes seemed to widen. To be alone. To be surrounded only be silence. Was not that the reason she wanted to kill Great Red? To get that back inside the quiet solitude of dimensional gap. If that was true, then why? Why did the words of this boy make her feel….what was this feeling? She did not know, but she did know that she did not want to lose whatever emotion was surging inside of her.
"So, Ophis-chan," Issei began to speak again, "I ask you again. Did you have fun today?"
Ophis looked up and if one looked closely, that could see the smallest of smiles upon her lips. "Yes," she said, " yes, I believe I did,...Ise."
Issei smiled. "Great, now how bout we-" He was cut off mid sentence as a voice rang through the air.
"Issei" the boy on question turned around to see his mother about a hundred feet away from him waving her arm in in his direction. " It's time to go home."
"Already?" the boy asked, "Aww man, well I guess I gotta go Ophis-chan, sorry." As he turned to walk towards his mother he felt a hand grab his wrist. He craned his neck to see that it was Ophis, who was also looking him right in the eyes.
"You said friends don't let other friends be alone" She said emotionlessly.
"But Ophis," Issei spoke, " Don't you have to get back home soon too?"
"I...have no home" she announced.
Issei eyes widened, then narrowed before he grabbed the hand of Ophis. "Come on Ophis-chan, let's go introduce you to my family." The brown haired boy pulled the dragon god to his mom before he spoke again. "Moma, this is Ophis-chan. She's a new friend I made today, and she doesn't have a place to stay, can she stay with us pleeeease?" He pulled out every child's secret weapon, the puppy dog eyes.
Mrs. Hyoudou looked at her son and his friend incredulously for a moment before smiling. " Well, if you trust her sweety, than I don't see why not." She then turned her head towards Ophis, "It's a pleasure to meet you Ophis-chan." Ophis responded with a simple nod. "Well, let's head home then." And with that the three of them departed to the Hyoudou household.
