Akeno "Are you going where I am thinking you are going?"

Rias gave a stern look but she couldn't hide it too.

Rias "No, I am not. Ise asked for it and I sure don't go back on my word."

Akeno "I thought so there is still one long week ahead of us."

Rias "Could be longest week. "Chuckling.

Akeno "Good thing I was planning to go to the hot springs, would you join." Akeno gave a wink with a naughty smile. Rias understood it.

Rias gave a full blown smile at the hint, they both are best friends for a reason they understand each other pretty well and they have been suffering from a common disease (Ise Deficiency) past three month well everyone in Hyoudou residence have been suffering from safe since that day Ise left for solitary training and asked no one to visit him for this period. There is still a week left for the time Ise asked to finish but everyone have hard time without him even for a short while.

Rias and Akeno came to underworld for some official work and they are planning for a detour to the mountains in which Ise went for training in his territory.

Well the hot springs they are planning to go are in same mountains for a sake.

Akeno immediately activated a magic circle to go there in an instant. These two onee samas have all worked out.

They soon got teleported to the mountains where wish to go, but something is not matching the description they are aware of.

Rias "Akeno are you sure we are in right place." Rias asked looking at the huge wall before them it is gigantic one made of gigantic rocks.

Akeno "I sure am about it but I didn't know mountains contain walls here."

Rias "Sure they don't, it looks like some kind of barrier or magic or else wall this tall can't be made."

A shiver went through them just by seeing that gigantic construction which almost touched the sky. And by second thought a fear sneaked in their minds on their love who was supposed to be here.

They became alert at that very instant and prepared for the worst.

Rias " Akeno we have to check inside the wall send alert to others we don't know what is waiting inside for us. "

Akeno immediately sent the SOS for others in their team and they will be arriving soon. They decided to peek inside and they opened their wings and flew to find the openings to enter inside. They found the opening of the wall and descended to go in. The gate is itself huge over 50 meters tall but it looks like it was unfinished as there was no gate for it and the hole sure was made for it.

They went inside through it and what they found mortified them on their spot.

Akeno "Rias can you pinch me for once. I can't believe my eyes."

Rias was in the same state seeing the magnifence standing before them this place was supposed to be a mountain, one of the biggest in the underworld, but what was standing before them was incomplete piece of it, well its yet a mountain but it was carved almost every place and it looked somewhat like a giant well they don't know what to call it. It looked like a giant mansion gigantic by any comparison they have even the Gremory castle will be pale in comparison with it.

Then their eyes fell on a person there his clothes were tattered to last bit and messy hair and they didn't make any mistake in recognizing him its ISSIE HYOUDOU he was looking at the mansion amazed at it almost marvelling at it with pride. He was on ground sitting at it. Rias and Akeno both recognized the expression on his face he is thinking something lecherous.

Rias and Akeno immediately went beside him and called out his name but he was deep down dreaming something he is out of reality. Akeno helped by passing a small jolt of current to his body as he sprang out from his imagination. As he saw Akeno and Rias standing there he came running to them almost slamming to them to their arms and enveloped to their bosom.

Rias and Akeno are relieved to find him safe but his hands were bruised and blood was clotted at openings almost indicating they were old wounds still unhealed probably from training. He was still in the arms of two woman who are equally overjoyed to see him. Well that wounds are probably not their concern as once Asia comes they will be healed in an instant.

Rias came out of trance first "Ise what is happening here?"

Ise came out of it and then stepping little far from both of them and with a mischief smile spoke out loud.

"Welcome to my mansion." He said with brightest smile ever filled with excitement, pride, determination. Then he collapsed there on the ground hit by fatigue and tiredness.

Rias caught him before he hit the ground and both are worried.

Ddraige then spoke out.

[Rias Gremory you are here, Akeno too.]

Rias "Ddraige tell me what is happening here? Wasn't Ise supposed to be in training?"

[Well it started that way but he couldn't keep up without thinking about you guys and was worried about how you are doing.]

Akeno "So?"

[He was training his body without using BXB, CXC and DXD to improve his own stamina and other specs.]

Rias and Akeno are still waiting for the answer.

[Then he slowly improved and was able to break huge rocks using his fist. Then this crazy thought occurred to him and started carving the mountain step by step and step by step.]

[You know right his mind works crazily he kept on muttering he will gift this to you girls and kept on muttering that and continued to create this.] Even Ddraige looked surprised it seemed and he was speaking with pride.

Akeno "Ddraige are you saying Ise did all this with his bare hands?"

[Yup, that is exactly what happened. It sure worked pretty well other kind of motivation wouldn't have worked this effectively against this man. He wanted to see the excitement in your faces when he show you this place, I guess you guys jumped the clock.]

Rias and Akeno are in hell level shock well that is their home ground though.

Rias "All this by himself All this by himself all this ….."

Akeno "That sure is Ise." Akeno was in shock too as her eyes filled with tears.

Rias hugged Ise tightly who was in her arms and tears dwelled in her eyes and Akeno hugged him too tears rolling through her eyes.

[He sure became monster though even without my powers combined, all his specs have increased monstrously.]

Akeno "Rias lets take him to some place to rest."

Rias "We are home aren't we?"

Akeno nodded "Ddraige can you show us the rooms?"

[Well I will with honour.]

[This place is divided to five segments the one right before you the giant in centre is the main residence where there are rooms for all of you people. All of you it means counting every one of your peerage and friend list Sairorg group, Sitri group, Vali group and your family and Ise's subordinates that vampire, Bova and that human kid ,it's the largest of construction]

[It has all features with hot baths too training fields to giant kitchen.]

[The one in the left behind me is made especially for Dragons who may come as guests, on right side is for Devils and others. The one there in that left corner is for important meetings and training ground I don't know why he made that one there though.] About the one in the left corner.

Akeno "Ddraige where is Ise's room?"

[Well where is his room? Oh yes can you see that giant opening from top?]

Rias "There are 15 such balconies?" well 16 storied one.

[The top one was for Ophis I remember that it was meant to be her playground.]

[Then next three below hers are training grounds. Then the one is Ophis and Lilith's living rooms .Yes the one right below that one is actually is indoor pool. Below that is Ise's floor. Then next one is made for you girls and right next one is an empty floor with vacant rooms and followed by one is for Sword guy and vampire and others. ]

Akeno interrupted it "Rias tenth floor."

Rias "Thanks Ddraige, we will explore it ourselves."

Saying that both of them flew to that floor directly. It has a huge open balcony and there was a huge room in middle. As they entered inside they saw a very huge cot made of rock circular in shape.

They made Ise sleep on the bed after Akeno used some magic on the rock to make it soft. He was lying there with his head on Rias lap.

Akeno "Impressive." She said in awe.

Rias "He sure made it considering our tastes in mind."

Akeno "And Xenovia's kicks." Smiling.

Akeno was checking the surroundings and noticed 16 doorways for this room. Four doors are connected to the balcony each in a direction and rest 12 placed like clock segments.

Akeno "They are connected to ground floor I guess for each of our rooms' maybe."

Rias nodded "Like I connected mine and Asia's with Ise's."

They both are flooded with excitement and confused which need their care first the house or the owner.

Rias overcome with emotion kissed him on his forehead as he curled himself to Rias. Akeno came and sat beside Rias patting his head well waiting for her turn.
