[Sacred Gear aka Ddraig/Albion Thinking]
"I can't believe you just did that Issei?! We had that diplomacy with the House of Izanagi down tight! But once you decided to stare at his daughter with lust, HE KICKED US OUT!" said the Crimson Ruin Princess with anger towards the end.
"But Rias, I didn't know..."
"BUT NOTHING! I explicitly told you NOT to act perverted, or at least keep it to a minimum! But once you started Lord Izanagi found you fantasizing about his daughter and threatened to dismantle the House of Gremory! Do you know who how powerful they are?"
"No?" Issei said beginning to fear for himself as all of his friends' auras were starting to darken.
"The House of Izanagi is home to the strongest Devils right below the 4 Satans. They do not trust anyone besides themselves. But we were just about to gain a neutral relationship with them until you decided to be your usual perverted self and ruin everything!"
"Rias, I'm sorry..."
"NO! Sorry won't cut it. I was originally going to reward you if you could keep control of yourself, but now I'll just have to punish you!"
As Issei looked around the room he saw Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia, and Irina slowly stalk over to him as if he were their prey.
"Your punishment: 1000 spanks from the five of us."
The way Rias stated her punishment coldly, Issei knew he was in for it. And the rest of the Devils inside the ORC also knew what Issei was in for. They felt bad for him, but he truly did deserve it for ruining the diplomacy meeting.
...5000 Spanks later...
It was time for school and Issei was heading straight for class, holding his rear end from the severe punishment he received not too long ago. Along the way he found Matsuda and Motohama peeping at the kendo girls once again.
"Yo! What up you guys?"
"Be quiet Issei! Today we are about to witness the first ever revealing of Murayama's pink panties!" Motohama quickly reminded his friend to hush down so they could watch the show.
"Awwwwwww YEAH! Here is comes!" Matsuda yelled.
Unfortunately that shouting alerted the kendo girls (Who by now weren't surprised that they were there) of the perverts' usual hiding spot behind the bushes facing their window.
"IT'S THE PERVERTED TRIO! GET THEM!" shouted Katase, another kendo girl.
As the two perverts quickly jumped out of the bush, they decided to get unscathed by sacrificing their "buddy." And so when Issei (Who actually wasn't doing anything at all) was just about to run, Matsuda and Motohama grabbed him and threw him at the girls.
Now under the mercy of the kendo girls surrounding him, Issei was dead meat.
...
Issei entered the classroom crawling with dozens of bruises, cuts, and bumps all over his body. This time the girls gave him a beating that was much more painful and deadlier than usual. And even as Issei pleaded with them that he didn't actually do anything, the girls just kept beating him until he resorted to playing dead. After the girls realized that they might have killed him, they ran off. And this gave Issei the time he needed to escape.
"Ahh hello Issei, it seems you have been peeping at the kendo girls once again haven't you?" asked Mr. Sesshomaru. Issei quickly shook his head, trying his best to tell someone he was innocent. But the other students looked at disgust.
"There's no way he's telling the truth." One student said
"He's a part of the perverted trio. Why should we believe him?" asked another one.
"That's enough class. Issei, Ms. Rias Gremory left a note full of punishments in case you have once again go peeping around or doing anything perverted. So I shall make you stay after school tomorrow in order to clean the bathrooms, scrape gum off of EVERY desk in the school, and writing "I am sorry for being a pervert" on the chalkboard until it covers the entire board.
'I can't believe Rias would think of such a punishment for me. Just how powerful is this Izanagi guy?' Issei thought to himself.
Once the punishment was over Issei headed straight for his home. He was tired, reeked of sweat, and still felt limp from the beating he never deserved.
'Could this day possibly get any worse?' he asked himself.
[I believe it just did partner]. Ddraig said to Issei.
Just up ahead was Issei's rival, Vali, who wielded the Sacred Gear, Divine Dividing, which housed Ddraig's rival, Albion.
"Hello once again my rival. Do you remember what day it is?" Vali asked Issei.
"Yeah I know Vali, but can do this another time? I'm not in the mood today." Issei responded, hoping Vali wouldn't go further.
After the defeat of Risevim Livan Lucifer, Vali's grandfather, the two Dragon Emperors would spar with each other in order to get stronger. Today was also one of those days.
"Oh but you will be." Vali reminded him while transforming into his Balance Breaker.
"Seriously Vali, I have no time for thi... GUAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Issei tried pleading, but was cut off by a punch to the gut.
[Albion! My partner is not ready for this fight. He had one of the worst days and he'd like to be alone]. Ddraig said to Albion and Vali.
[In all serious Ddraig, we said we'd spar on this day until the real fight comes. But I can see where you are going at, so we will let you rest today]. Albion said agreeing with Ddraig.
"Sorry Hyoudou. A real fight would never let you rest. So come at me already!" Vali told his rival.
During the whole fight Issei wasn't even trying to fight. He, Ddraig, and Albion pleaded to Vali that Issei truly wasn't in the mood. But the Vanishing Dragon Emperor just wouldn't keep listening. So the fight turned out to be a massacre, with Issei almost being bed-ridden. Once Vali stopped fighting, Issei was on the ground unconscious and bleeding internally.
"I think I might have overdone it a little." Vali said.
[A LITTLE?!] the two dragons yelled making Vali cover his ears.
"Fine Hyoudou, I'll let you rest today. But next week you better be ready." he told his unconscious rival as he flew off into the distance.
... 2 hours later...
After taking a horrible nap, which didn't help him heal the pain, Issei woke up to the sound of chatter coming from downstairs. They were the other ORC members and they didn't sound happy.
"I still can't believe Lord Izanagi came over and berated us for what Issei did today. He humiliated the honor of both my family and my brother, and continued to threaten our house all because of Issei."
"First Issei can't confess his feelings to you a few days back, and now Issei ruins this meeting. He has just been a string of bad luck lately." Akeno said in tone that surprised Issei.
"I know Issei's perverseness can get the better of him sometimes, but even I feel he was too stupid to realize how important having the House of Izanagi in a neutral position is. And when he couldn't confess to you president, I was even more disappointed. Even I'm not that dense." Kiba responded in anger as well for Issei's behavior.
"Issei shouldn't have done that." Asia said. "Sometimes I feel he goes a little too far with him being perverted. Like the time with the slime (Rhyming lol) when we went to get familiars."
'Even Asia thinks lowly of me for today?!'
"He's the worst and an enemy to all women everywhere." Koneko said. She said the same thing when they were fighting Irina and Xenovia but this time it was much colder and deadlier sounding, shocking Issei.
'I know Koneko doesn't approve of me being a pervert, but I can't believe she sounded like that.'
"Hey, I... I'm sure Issei n... never really would want to mess up a meeting. I... I... I think it was just a mistake president." Gasper said trying to defend Issei. The Vampire-Devil hybrid hoped the others would look behind their anger against Issei, but instead he received cold stares and auras beginning to light up.
"Gasper I know you want to defend Issei, but he ended a meeting that could have brought all the Devils closer into achieving peace with each other. Ever since Risevim was killed, many Devils have been trying to take power. This meeting was one of many steps we could have used to stop the Devils from reaching Civil War." Irina told Gasper. This made the little cross-dresser go into his trademark box to hide his face in case they were even angrier at him.
"I'm disappointed in him as well. A student being this perverted deserves punishment rivaling that of expulsion." Rossweise said in a disappointed tone.
"And to think I wanted Issei to be the father of my children. With any luck they won't get his perverseness." Xenovia commented.
Many of the other girls in Issei's harem also shook their heads in shame. Those comments stated by everyone made Issei feel like he took an arrow to the knee.
"I think all he is truly good for is being the Red Dragon Emperor. Other than that, he's just some pervert that was picked up from the street."
Issei was close to tears after hearing such painful words from his friends.
[Partner, please calm down.] Ddraig whispered to his partner trying to keep him from crying.
"You're right Koneko; sometimes I wish he wasn't a part of the peerage or had his own. I feel like we may have done better without him" Rias said agreeing with Koneko's comments.
"R... Rias..." Now that truly struck Issei in his heart.
Before they could insult Issei even further, a magic circle appeared in the middle of the room.
"Huh? The House of Izanagi Circle?" Rias said surprised. Already she was insulted, but the peerage didn't expect this. Out from the circle came a man dressed in a butler uniform.
"My apologies Lady Gremory, but Lady Izanagi, the heiress to the House of Izanagi, would like to see you at once." He said while bowing.
"Lady Izanagi? But we were insulted by her father? Why would she want to see us?"
"My instructions were to just fetch you and your peerage. So if you would be so kind as to stand in the circle?"
"Y... Yes." Rias said still slightly confused.
She and her peerage, along with all the girls in Issei's peerage, stepped into the circle.
"W... Wait! Shouldn't we get Issei?" Le Fay, Issei's manager, said.
"He's sleeping right now so no need to disturb him." Akeno said.
"Yeah, he'll probably ruin this meeting too." Kiba said jokingly.
The others laughed in agreement at his comment as they teleported away.
After the circle disappeared along with everyone Issei stepped out from the staircase. This time he was a wreck.
"I... I... ca... can't believe what they said. Do they actually think of me that way Ddraig?" he asked his partner.
[Honestly, even I'm shocked from their comments. Especially when they felt they didn't need you.] he responded.
"So is that what they think of me? I'm just the Red Dragon Emperor?! Even after everything I've been through to help them!" he said.
A flashback from events in the past occurred. Starting from his reincarnation as a Devil zooming to the defeat of Risevim. Each stopping to a time he helped every girl, and Kiba + Gasper, in both his and Rias' peerage.
Suddenly he saw a face he just could never forget. She had the same innocent look from when she asked him that very question that started all this.
Will you die for me?
Just seeing Raynare ask that same question over and over again was enough to push Issei into Juggernaut Drive.
Will you die for me?
"They don't want anything to do with me huh?" Issei asked to himself while walking upstairs.
Will you die for me?
"It's my perverseness that made them angry right?!" Issei asked once again while this time reaching for his backpack.
"They believe that I'm... I'm... I'M SOME KIND OF ENEMY TO ALL WOMEN?! Now Issei was furious and inching closer to being unstable.
"First I receive a humiliating spanking. Then I have my so-called "friends" sacrifice me And then Vali doesn't listen to me and beats me down."
Will you die for me?
"And now this?!"
Ddraig could feel the amount of pain Issei suffered through. And now he too was starting to share in his partner's anger.
"No more." Issei said while getting himself food that would last him for weeks.
Will you die for me?
"No more!" Issei repeated putting on the backpack.
"He has just been a string of bad luck lately."
"Even I'm not that dense."
"Sometimes I feel he goes a little too far..."
"A student being this perverted deserves punishment rivaling that of expulsion."
"NO MORE!" Issei shouted, now with a red aura covering him.
"And to think I wanted Issei to be the father of my children."
"I think all he is truly good for is being the Red Dragon Emperor. Other than that, he's just some pervert that was picked up from the street."
"I feel like we may have done better without him."
"He'll probably ruin this meeting too."
Will you die for me?
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He yelled in pain as his red aura now consumed him. The power unleashed was felt by all Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils in their respective domains. Even those in Kuoh could feel the intensity of the scream as many mirrors and windows shattered and the ground shook like a mini-earthquake.
... At the House of Izanagi ...
The group appeared from the circle. The butler stepped aside and guided them to Lady Izanagi.
"Hello there. I see you have accepted my request." She said to the group as they entered her bedroom chambers.
"Hello Lady Izanagi. It is good to see you once again. But I am wondering why you called us here? Your father talked to us earlier today saying he didn't want anything to do with us." Rias said.
"My apologies for my father's harsh words. He was just acting as any father would. But I would like to talk to you all about that earlier incident."
This made the group unsettled. First they receive insults from Lord Izanagi, and now they were anticipating the same from his daughter.
"I would like to thank Issei."
"I am truly sor... what?"
"I said I would like to thank Issei for earlier. When I was younger many kids called me ugly and wouldn't want to play with me. I was devastated and it lowered my self-esteem. My parents had to keep me away from the rest of the realm and so they kept me in our home. But once your friend starting looking at me in such a way, I couldn't believe at how much I changed over the years. And to top it all off, news of the meeting spread around like wildfire. And before I knew it, many came to ask for my hand in marriage. Though I prefer love over arranged, I was especially elated to know that I was no longer ugly to anyone. And so I've asked my father to accept your terms of a relationship. But instead of a neutral one, I ask for a friendly one."
The entire group was now stunned from what she said.
"Wow, to think Issei's perverseness would actually help solve a problem." Kiba said, still stunned from what he heard.
"I really didn't expect this to happen." Rias said, also stunned.
"Is there something wrong?" Lady Izanagi asked.
Now almost everybody in the group had their heads down in shame. They all felt guilty for what they did and said about Issei.
But before any of them could respond to Lazy Izanagi, everyone felt a sudden surge of power seeping across the underworld. Followed by a scream of anguish and pain accompanied by the mighty roar of a dragon.
"Tha... that was Issei! Something might be wrong!" Rias said.
"Everyone come with us." Said a voice.
"Brother?" Rias asked surprised as to why Sirzechs and the other great Satans were there all so suddenly.
"We fear the worst Rias. Now let's hurry." He responded.
... Outside Hyoudou Residence...
As Rias and Issei's peerage appeared in front of Issei's house along with the 4 Great Satans, they were surprised (Not the Satans) to see Azazel of the Fallen Angels, and Lord Michael and Gabriel there as well. Not far behind were Vali's team and many soldiers of all 3 factions. They covered the area in a barrier that cut off the rest of the world, making it seem as though everything was normal and no armies were at the residence.
"You all felt it as well didn't you?" Sirzechs asked the leaders.
"Yup. And something tells me this ain't good." Azazel answered in a worried tone.
The ORC members all rushed in to check on their friend. When they opened the door, they were all appalled. Followed by them were the leaders, then Vali's team, and finally some soldiers who also like Issei.
The entire first floor was destroyed and in ashes. The couches were torn, windows smashed, and the tiles splattered everywhere. Food was leaking from the refrigerator; the sink was broken causing water to flow to the floor. And the bathroom was now flooded. But what truly shocked everyone was the writing on the wall.
Rias, Akeno, and Asia slumped to their knees, all bursting with tears. The rest of the girls, and Gasper, in the two peerages followed suit. The leaders were shocked to see Issei's writing. Vali's team was also astonished. While Vali and Kiba both clumped their fists in anger.
There, written on the wall in blood with the shape of a dragon surrounding was Issei and Ddraig's message: WE QUIT!
WHOOOO! I finally got my first 3,000 word chapter lol.
I borrowed elements from the story "A Man's Heart," but for the most part I'm done copying.
I'm thinking of skipping Issei's disappearance and just go to a month later in the story, writing about what he is doing in between that month, or save what he is doing for a later chapter as a flashback. So I will let you guys vote on it.
The choices are:
Skipping Issei's disappearance and just go to a month later in the story
Writing what he is doing within that month
Saving what he is doing for later as a flashback.
First to reach 30 votes is the winner. (If I see two or all three are 30 somehow, I will look at the reviews and count them based on earliest)
Oh, and I'm also thinking of bringing back Japanese honorifics and words. I feel kind of weird not using them since almost everyone else does. (Not trying anything bandwagony)
So another vote:
Bring back Japanese honorifics (I will also edit 1st chapter)
No honorifics I am sick of them!
The voting for honorifics will also be placed into "Gohan's Ecchi Journey." So vote wisely. And no second votes!
