*WARNING: Looooooooooooong one-shot ahead! Have a patient mind!*
Issei couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was flooding with what had happened to her ever since she first met Yuuma-or Raynare, her first "real friend", since she's come so far in her new life as a demon.
Aika Kiryuu had been friends with her for a while, but all she did was be perverted with her, looking at guys' "manhoods" and giving her lewd advice on how to court Yuuto Kiba, the school's pretty boy and Issei's crush. They never really hung out as actual friends except on rare occasions. Raynare, however, decided to be her "friend", asking her if they could hang out on Sunday, and she accepted, much to Aika's disapproval. Their rivals, Matsuda and Motohoma, were jealous that she could hang out with Raynare, but shipped them, much to HER disapproval.
However, the day turned to hell when she transformed into a fallen angel and impaled her with a light sword. She was then revived into a devil, unaware of the change until she asked Aika if she remembered her, which she hadn't and Matsuda and Motohoma never remembering her either. Then she noticed the real change when she could see light in the dark while she and Aika were watching an 18+ yaoi anime. Then she ran away from there and discovered more of her new powers before being attacked and almost killed at the park by another fallen angel.
She was later revived by Rias...who was in her bed...naked. Issei was never attracted to females, so it was both shocking and weird for her. After Rias explained everything the female pervert needed to know, she was then accepted into the Occcult Research Club...and saw that Kiba was a part of it as well. She had hoped to work with him, despite the fact that she was just a pawn and he was revealed to be a knight.
But hey! She can talk to him...well, she always acted nervous whenever she talked to him. Plus, whenever they hung out together at the school, most of the girls would get jealous, except for Aika, who would give her lewd advice to charm him and make him become her boyfriend. She didn't want to go that route...at least, not at the moment.
She then met Asia, a stray nun, and became friends with her. However, she went to a client's house to see that it was a trap, the priest almost trying to kill her. Then it turned out Asia was with the priest, but never knew what they really did. After trying to protect her, the priest was about to sexually assault her, making Issei snap and telling him to let her go. However, he decided to kill her first since she annoyed him. She suddenly had her clothes sliced in half by his sword and get pinned to the wall with his sword under her chin. She began to cry, feeling helpless. Then suddenly...Kiba came out and saved her, making her relieved and tear up a little. She was happy that Kiba saved her from the psychopathic priest.
He wasn't alone though, everyone else in the Gremory household came to save her too and they did, but had to leave Asia behind. However, when she was upset, Kiba actually tried to comfort her with a hug, which worked. And after she left the clubroom to go home, he followed her, much to her surprise, and cheered her up by comforting her more and saying that he may help her save Asia, making her feel so happy and more attracted and closer to him. She was lucky that a handsome man like him actually cared about her and was willing to help her.
After the incident with the Fallen Angels and reviving Asia into a demon (plus making her move into the Hyoudou house), there was the familiar-finding, which turned into a fiasco when the slime got the girls. Issei managed to kill them and while doing so, Kiba got a glimpse of her half-nakedness, blushing and looking away to give her some respect. Then there was the attempt of trying to get Issei to form a contract. Kiba became involved in it because he wanted her to get a contract as well, so he and Rias made a promise to her that if she gets a contract, she'll do whatever she likes to him. Though it was broken after the attempt, Yuuto did give her a warm hug and told her to never stop being herself, giving everyone the idea of how he feels about her...
Finally, there was the incident with Riser Phenix. Everyone went training on a mountain, of course. But after that, when she was nervous for the Rating Game between the Gremory household and the Phenix household, the blonde-haired male, before heading into battle, kissed her forehead, telling her that they will win and be okay when the battle was over. It was confirmed that Issei indeed had romantic feelings for him and to the rest of the peerage, Kiba has the same feelings for her. Asia and Rias talks to her about her crush on him in the clubroom while the pre-preparation for the game was going on.
When the plan Rias had was failing and almost everyone was dying, Kiba died alongside them as well, but only to save her. It caused Issei to boost her power enough to transform her weapon and actually eliminate Riser's Queen and only Bishop. Though both sides were surprised, she was weak in magic, thus making her almost defeated by Riser until Rias resigned.
After losing, she was in her bedroom with Grayfia telling her the bad news. She asked if anybody was fine, which she replied with a yes and no. She worried about Rias, who she saw as an older sister. Gathering up her courage, she crashed the engagement party and told Riser to challenge her one-on-one, to cancel his engagement to Rias, where she succeeded by...embarrassing him during the fight. After being thanked by the red-haired female herself, Issei was congratulated by everyone else, including Kiba, and was able to get his full appreciation.
Rias now lives with her and Asia, all three of them acting like sisters to each other. Rias and Asia slept in a different bedroom so that they wouldn't bother her when she was sleeping. But, they both always liked to tease Issei about Kiba since it was confirmed she loved him. Both were supportive though and also gave her advice to how to get together with him, some advice she would actually take seriously.
Of course, there has been rumors flying around the school about her doing perverted things to Kiba. To make it worse, Matsuda and Motohoma also spread rumors about her and the ladies of the Occult Research Club secretly doing lesbian activities with each other. At least Aika defended her that she hadn't done any "lesbian" activities with the ladies of the club, but she was curious about Issei WAS doing perverted things to the school's pretty boy, which she denied every time she asked.
Then came the recent Excalibur crisis. When the Occult Research Club held a meeting in Issei's room, her mother brought snacks...and a photobook with her as a child. It was really embarrassing for the female pervert, but everyone thought she was cute in the pictures, especially Kiba himself. However, he then saw a picture with her and Irina as children with a Holy Sword in the background, causing him to change the way he was feeling, making Issei concerned about him, even though he practically tried to shrug it off.
But the change in his demeanor showed as they hunted down a stray demon. He seemed out of it, almost getting himself killed before Issei saved him with her Sacred Gear. After the stray was extinguished, Rias scolded Kiba, making him apologize and leave. The brown-haired female tried to talk to him about how he was feeling, but he talked her down politely before walking away. It made Issei more worried about him.
Soon, she learned about Holy Swords and Project Excalibur, which Kiba had forcefully participated in when he was human. She felt terrible for him and wished she could help him. Xenovia and Irina arrived as well to retrieve the stolen Excaliburs. But after claiming to leave the household after hearing about the Excaliburs and even fighting the crazed priest who had one of them, she offered to help him, much to the entire club's surprise, even Kiba. But even though he thanked her for the offer, he told her that it was his battle and he wouldn't want her to be hurt because of it, so he had to face it alone. It broke her heart. She wanted to help the blonde-haired male, everyone in the club knew as well.
Issei and Koneko then teamed up and brought Saji of the Sitiri peerage with them to temporarily ally with Xenovia and Irina to stop the priest and the man behind the Excalibur swords. They then met up with Kiba, much to the female pervert's relief, and asks to join up with them to help him beat and retrieve the Excaliburs. He first denies them, telling them about his past in-depth and more about Project Excalibur. He was lucky to be found by Rias before his death and get reborn into a demon. After he told them about it, Saji, who was reluctant to help the ladies at first, cried at his backstory and was willing to help to them. Kiba, actually chuckling a little at his reaction, then decided that he'll team up with them. Issei thanked him and without a second thought, hugged him tightly. Everyone but Koneko was surprised she did that. With a smile however, he hugged her back, thanking her for never giving up on him.
Later at night, they all disguised as priests and went to the place where the Gremory peerage defeated Visor. They then found the crazed priest, making Kiba fight him and keeping him away from the brown-haired devil. Issei even used her Boosted Gear to give him more power to defeat them. But then came Valper, the man behind Project Excalibur. Kiba was pissed off and tried to kill him, but he and the priest disappeared in a flash of light. However, as Kiba, Irina, and Xenovia left, Issei barely had time to join them as Rias, Akeno, Sora, and Tsubaki arrived to punish her, Koneko, and Saji.
After that, there was no contact from Kiba or the two girls. But then, Rias's familiar spotted Irina badly injured by the priest. After getting her to safety, the two peerages encountered the priest and Kokabiel, a Cadre-level fallen angel. He mouthed off Rias and planned to initiate a war between angels, devils, and fallen angels once more. Valper and the priest, Freed, was creating a magic circle in the middle of Kuoh Academy to help him do that.
The Sitiri peerage decided to put a barrier around the school so that the destruction of the town was inevitable. Akeno contacted Rias's brother, Sirzechs, to provide backup in case the Gremory peerage fails to defeat Kokabiel. Issei was still worrying about Kiba, hoping he was okay. Koneko told her that he will be fine, since he was with Xenovia. She also hoped Xenovia wasn't flirting with him...
The peerage then engaged in fighting with Kokabiel, but had to defeat his watchdogs, Cerberus. However, they were overwhelmed, especially Issei herself, whose Sacred Gear was practically useless against it and was charging anyway. However, when she was cornered by it, Xenovia killed it, saving her and providing her back-up. She was able to reach Rias and Akeno with full power, transferring it to them. But then, a Cerberus dog was chasing after her, Asia calling out her name in fear. However, multiple swords staked the beast, Kiba appearing in front of her. Everyone, especially Issei, was glad to see him again. As she thanked him for it, he told her that he wouldn't let anything happen to her and apologized for leaving without her. She, of course, forgave him and hugged him once again.
Although, the hug was short-lived when Kokabiel spoke and dodged Rias's powerful crimson attack. Not only that, the magic circle was complete, making the Cadre-level fallen angel more stronger and setting a time bomb for the town. Rias and Akeno attacked him, but he combined their powers to defeat them. Akeno was saved by Issei herself and was set on the ground with the red-haired devil. Everyone saw that Kiba was walking towards Valper, ready to attack him and get his revenge. As he lunged for him, Issei and Koneko ran to stop him before he gets seriously hurt, but Kokabiel shot light energy at him, exploding and forcing both girls back. The pretty boy was unconscious on the ground, making Issei cry and run to him.
"Kiba-kun!" she shouted in sorrow as she stopped and knelt beside him. "Kiba-kun, are you okay?!" She nudged his body, getting no response from him.
"You were able to dodge a direct attack?" asked the five-winged fallen angel. "You're a quick little rat."
Issei's light-brown eyes began to water. She turned to the fallen angel and shouted, "Damn you!"
"Freed," he said.
"Yes, boss?!" the psychotic priest asked. The brown-haired female looked at him in horror.
"Use the Excalibur with the power of four swords to eliminate these demons."
"Got it!"
Issei feared him after what he had done with her when she tried to save Asia. Freed tried to lung for Issei and Koneko. Suddenly and thankfully, Xenovia attacked him, but he dodged it and almost attacked her before she quickly kicked his face. They both engaged in a battle while Issei stayed beside Kiba. When Xenovia couldn't lay a finger on him, Koneko decided to help her and kicked the crazed priest at the face. Kiba began to move however, making the female pervert feel happy.
"K-Kiba-kun!" she cried out. He tried to stand up, but then fell, Issei catching him. "It's okay! I got you!" She saw that he was panting and sweating.
"I have heard of a subject getting away," Valper said, walking towards them. The two devils looked up at him with daggers in their eyes. "But to hear that he has become a lowly devil..." He stopped in front of them. "I'm actually grateful for you guys. Thanks to you, I was able to complete the project." Both of them looked at him in shock.
"Complete?" Kiba asked.
The priest grinned evilly. "You subjects did not have enough genes to use the Holy Sword. Knowing that I was able to..." He paused to give Kiba an evil look. "...take out the gene from the subjects!" Both of them gasped in shock. Kiba's pupils shrunk. "Then we succeeded in crystallizing them!" He got out a small, blue fang-shaped crystal that was glowing light blue. "This contains the genes from the time in their crystallized form-" Both the devils gasped once again. "-although this is the last one." Issei thought that it was sadistic and repulsive of him to do that. Kiba flinched.
Freed laughed. "And all the other guys but me died halfway because they couldn't take their genes!" He then slashed at Koneko, who dodged the sword. "Since that's said, I'm super-duper special, huh?!"
The female pervert gritted her teeth and looked at the white-haired psycho, yelling, "Damn you, scumbag!" Xenovia recognized it though. She explained that it was used to give wielders of the Holy Sword blessing, putting it into their bodies.
"Those hypocrites," Valper continued. "After excommunicating me as a pagan, they shamelessly used my research. In any case, we're talking about Michael. Even if he took the genes out of the subjects, I'm sure he didn't kill them."
Kiba slowly stood up, shooting a furious face at him. Issei stood up with him as well, supporting him with her arms and hands along the way. "There was no need...to kill us either..." he said weakily. He clenched his fists. "Why...?"
"You were all nothing but material used in a top secret project! Once we were done, there was no other choice but to dispose of you."
"We...believed in God and bored it the whole time..." the pretty boy continued. "That was...we are...materials...to be disposed of." His eyes began to well up. Everyone was shocked at the news and felt very sorry for Kiba, especially the brown-haired devil herself. Hell, she was pissed off about the fact.
"Kiba-kun..." she whispered.
"That's terrible..." Asia stated in sorrow, her eyes filling up with tears.
Valper threw the crystal to Kiba. "If you want it so badly, here. We've already gotten to the point where we can mass-produce these," he stated.
Issei gritted her teeth at them and was about to shout at him, but then she felt Kiba kneel down to pick the crystal up, escaping her arms. She stepped back a couple of feet since she felt he needed some space. The look on his face was of depression, which made her heart drop. She frowned at the sight. "Kiba-kun..." She saw him cup the crystal in his hands, close his eyes, put it on his chest, and mutter, "Everyone..."
She felt a lump grow from her throat. She yelled furiously at Valper, "I will never forgive you, old bastard!" He only grinned at her, making her want to punch him or shoot an arrow at him since a bow and arrow was part of her Sacred Gear.
"Valper Galilei..." muttered Kiba, causing the old man to look at him. He stood up. "Just how many lives did you toy with for your own research and desires?" The crystal then began to glow. Everyone gasped in surprise.
"Wh-what's that?" asked Asia as everyone walked closer to the scene. The glow then formed figures around the survivor of Project Excalibur.
"People?" questioned Koneko.
"That's what it looks like..." Issei murmured in awe.
"It's probably the different powers from the battlefield," Akeno explained. "And the trembling of Yuuto's heart that have freed the souls from the crystal." Issei believed that as the blue figures formed into people.
"I kept thinking..." said Kiba in sorrow. "...about whether or not it was okay for me to be alive. They were kids with more dreams than me...who wanted to live longer than me..." He began to let the tears flow down his cheeks and trembled a little. "I wondered if it was okay...for me to be the only one to live a peaceful life." He then shot his eyes open to see the souls of his fellow people from Project Excalibur. A little girl tugged his sleeve, making him look down at her. She looked up at him and smiled. He continued to cry, gasping a little.
The souls then turned into floating orbs, flying around Kiba. He looked at them. "It's okay..." said one ghost girl.
"If everyone gathers up together..." said another.
"Take us in..." a ghost boy added.
"It's not scary, even if there is no God..." said the little ghost girl. "Even if God isn't watching over us..."
"Our hearts will always be..." said a ghost male.
Kiba looked down, closed his eyes, and smiled. "One," he finished. The souls then went inside him, making him glow light blue. Akeno and Rias were smiling at the sight, feeling great for him.
Koneko commented, "It's heartwarming...", looking like she was about to cry.
The bishop had her hands wrapped in prayer, closing her eyes, smiling, and crying in joy at the sight.
Issei herself was crying tears of joy as well, smiling. "Kiba-kun..." she whispered happily. "I'm glad they're with you now." She felt her heart warm at the sight. She felt really happy for her crush.
"Your-I mean-the Knight has peaked," said the Welsh Dragon, making her look down at her gauntlet. "When the user's thoughts and wishes go against the natural course of things in the world, the balance peaks. What he has now is a Balance Breaker."
"Balance Breaker?" she asked, seeing that the blue glowing was gone. The blonde-haired survivor then glared at the priest.
"My comrades didn't want me to seek revenge," he stated as he began to walk to him. "That's not what they wanted. But I felt like I needed to defeat the evil before me, so there would be no other people like us..." He then summoned a sword and pointed it at him, making him back away. "...created anymore."
"Freed!" cried out Valper. The sadistic priest appeared in front of him the strong Excalibur. Looking confident, Valper said, "Fool. It looks like you should dispose of yourself."
Feeling the need to cheer him on, Issei shouted, "Kiba-kun!" The male devil then looked back at her. "Kick that bastard's ass and beat that Excalibur! Don't let your comrades feelings and wishes go to waste!"
"Issei-chan..." he whispered in surprise.
Rias nodded. "Do it, Yuuto," she added. "You're part of my family, the Gremory household. No Knight of mine will lose to an Excalibur."
"Yuuto-kun, I believe in you!" Akeno also added.
"Fight!" Koneko cheered.
"Kiba-san!" finished Asia, crying and smiling joyfully at him.
Kiba looked shocked at the peerage. "Everyone..." he murmured.
"Ah, what is this moving scene you're trying to make?" Freed asked impatiently, making Kiba turn to him. "Just listening makes my skin crawl...I can't take it anymore! I just need to slice you up so I can feel better!"
Kiba closed his eyes and said, "I will become a sword. Comrades whose souls have merged with mine, let's overcome this together. Our thoughts and wishes will be accomplished." He then raised his sword up, making it glow. "I will become a sword for the President, Issei-chan, and my comrades!" Issei blushed when he mentioned her name. Rias giggled at her response. "Sword Birth!" The sword had white and black energy flowing around it, then had it trapped inside the sword. "Sword of the Betrayer: a sword vested in both holy and devil powers! Stop it if you can!" Red writing began to form on the fuller of the sword.
"Holy and devil powers fused into one sword?!" Rias asked in surprise.
"I see. That's..." Rias looked at Issei, who was speaking. "The dragon inside of me told me about this, that Kiba-kun has 'peaked'. That's Kiba-kun's Balance Breaker!"
Kiba began to walk towards Freed. Valper commented in horror and surprise, "Holy power and devil power fused into one?! To have something in a weapon like that...that's impossible!"
The blue-haired Excalibur wielder walked right next to Kiba, offering him to team up with her. He agreed, but asked if it's really okay. She stated that even though the sword was holy, it won't be any longer. She then set her sword down and summoned a larger blue sword, the Holy Sword Durandal. She explained that it was on par with Excalibur and was told to cut everything it touches. Valper commented that it was impossible since he research didn't lead to using that sword. She replied that unlike Kiba and Irina, she's one of the few neutrals. Valper was in shock and fear of her.
Freed tried to fight her with his Excalibur, but she managed to cut some pieces of it off, shocking the white-haired exorcist. She lunged for him, but he dodged, ready to attack her from behind. Kiba, though, appeared behind him, ready to kill him with the Sword of the Betrayer. After engaging into a small fight, his sword broke Freed's, scaring him.
"It broke!" he shouted in horror. As he landed on the ground and cursed Kiba, a light blue light dispersed from his shoulder, rendering him unconscious.
The handsome devil panted and said, "You see that? Our powers overcame Excalibur!"
"It did..." Issei whispered.
"How is this possible?!" Valper cried out. "In theory, the fusion of holy and demon powers is-" Kiba pointed the sword at him, making him flinch and fall down.
"Valper Galilei, prepare yourself!" he shouted.
"Oh, I get it now! If the balance between the holy and devil powers are disrupted, it could be possible! Not only with the Devils, but God-" Valper, however, was impaled by a large light spear, killing him and making him disappear, much to everyone's shock.
Kokabiel was away from his throne, saying that Valper was a talented priest, his aptitude making him reach to the conclusion. Rias asked what he was trying to do, which he answered that he was bored of diversions. He asked Issei to raise the Red Dragon Emperor's power level up as much as she could and transfer it to someone. Rias asked why he would give them another chance, replying that they're ridiculous if they try to defeat him. So, it was Rias that Issei needed to transfer her power to. They both held hands and walked towards him.
When her gauntlet was fully charged, she stopped, asking her master if she wants to do it. After replying with a "Yes", the power was transferred to her, giving her ultimate strength. However, as she used her dark crimson power to defeat Kokabiel, he blocked it, making her run out of energy and fall down. Issei got her up, but then they both saw Akeno shoot lightning at the Cadre-level fallen angel, also blocking that as well. He stated that she had the powers of Baraqiel, a fallen angel leader who was a master at lightning.
The raven-haired beauty stopped shooting lightning at him, panting and sweating in exhaustion. Kokabiel laughed and said that Rias has an amusing peerage, having the Welsh Dragon, the remains of Project Excalibur, and the daughter of Baraqiel herself, Akeno. Issei and Xenovia was shocked at the fact. After mouthing off the crimson-haired beauty's brother, she said that she won't let him insult her brother, the Overlord, or even her servants, so he deserved death. The fallen angel landed on the ground and told her to try, reminding her that she and her peerage were facing the devils' arch-enemy. He insulted her, making the female pervert shout angrily at him for mouthing off both Rias and Akeno. She told him she'll kick his ass.
"Are you an idiot, woman?" he asked as he got out a light sword.
"Yeah, if that's what you think!" she replied angrily. "Just stay put right there!" She made her bow and arrow appear. "Boosted Gear!"
"Boost!" shouted the gauntlet as it glowed green. Kiba, Xenovia, and Koneko ran to Kokabiel.
"Hyoudou Issei!" shouted the blue-haired Holy Sword wielder. "We'll buy you time!"
"Huh?" she asked.
"You focus on powering up, Issei-chan!" Kiba added. "Don't worry about us! We'll handle it!" She nodded, still feeling worried about them, especially her crush. The two sword wielders tried to attack him, but he blocked their attacks. When Koneko was going to attack him from above, he used his wings to blow them all back. Koneko took the most damage, almost her entire clothing ripped off and skidding across the hard pavement.
"Koneko-chan!" shouted Issei as she and Asia came to heal her. The man had overwhelming strength. She then raised the gauntlet's power.
"Boost!"
Meanwhile, Kokabiel slashed the ground. Kiba and Xenovia tried to block it, but the blast blew them back. Issei shielded Asia and Koneko due to her promoting herself as the Queen. "Are you okay?" she asked the blonde-haired female.
She nodded. "Y-yeah," she replied. "What about the others?" She turned to see both sword wielders panting and sweating, never letting go of their swords. Her worry began to expand.
"So you think you can keep going?" asked the fallen angel. "Very well then. Come to me with all your power!"
After he finished panting, Kiba yelled, "Sword Birth!" Many swords appeared around the Cadre and stabbed him, but his wings shielded him.
"Is this really the extent of your power?" he asked in a disappointed voice as he destroyed them all with his wings. Kiba then charged himself towards him.
"Kiba-kun!" shouted the brown-haired devil. Kokabiel, however, grabbed the tip of his sword with his fingers. He brought out another through a magic circle and was about to attack him with it, but he grabbed the tip of that with his fingers as well. "Fool," the fallen angel said.
"There's more!" Kiba shouted as another sword appeared, grabbing the grip with his teeth and slicing under Kokabiel's eye. He screamed and shot back a few feet, flinching from the pain.
"Whoa," Issei commented.
"Damn you!" he shouted as he shot light energy towards him, only for it to be blocked and sliced away by Xenovia's sword.
"Boost!"
"Come on, almost there..." the brown-haired devil muttered impatiently.
Kokabiel smirked though and said that he was surprised to see her fighting like this even though she lost her lord. Everyone was confused, especially Xenovia, making him laugh. Everyone shot furious glares at him. He revealed that the Demon Overlords didn't only die...God did as well. Everyone's pupils shrunk and they gasped. Xenovia and Asia was in utter disbelief while the devils were completely in shock.
He then revealed that all of the Demon Overlords and most upper-class demons were dead. Angels and fallen angels also lost most of their armies to him, making pure-blood births scarce. He stated that each faction was so helpless, they relied on humans to survive. Leaders kept this a secret because they needed the humans. Xenovia dropped to her knees, trying to process the fact that God was dead. The Cadre stated that the leaders saying the war was pointless pissed him off, even if the Overlords and God was dead. He was more pissed off when he said that Azazel stated that a second war was pointless.
Asia, slowly standing up from the ground, asked about God's blessings. Kokabiel said that Michael, an archangel, was doing a fine job of that, taking God's place to protect angels and humans, meaning that Xenovia was useless and the blessings, prayers, and exorcisms didn't affect as much. The blonde-haired bishop fainted, making Koneko catch her. Xenovia was surprised herself that she was still controlling herself after hearing the news. Koneko set Asia against a tree.
He stated that the balance of Light and Darkness is gone and he'll finish where he left off. Rias trembled a little, stating that everything was her fault. But Issei denied that by shouting, "No!" Rias, surprised, looked at her again. "Go cry me a river! I won't let you destroy our town and kill my friends! And let me tell you this..." She raised her gauntlet up. "One of my dreams is to have a hot boyfriend! I won't let you get in the way of my ambitions!" Xenovia looked puzzled at why she would say that while everyone else nervously chuckled a little.
Kokabiel chuckled as well. "Have a hot boyfriend?" he repeated, his chuckling turning into laughing. The female pervert gritted her teeth at him. "Is that your wish, Welsh Dragon? Then why don't you join me then?" She looked confused.
"What?" she asked in disbelief.
"There are plenty of candidates on my side, so you'll have a hot boyfriend before you even know it. Choose whoever you want and he's yours."
Issei looked down at her feet. It sounded like a good deal to the brown-haired devil, but then...there was no other hot guy she wanted to be in a relationship with other than Yuuto Kiba himself. He was perfect, he was what she wanted. She felt nervous, ready to say it in front of everyone, in front of Kiba himself. She took a deep breath, grinned, and answered, "But I already have the perfect candidate." He shot her a confused look as well as Xenovia and Kiba. Rias, Akeno, and Koneko, however, knew who she was talking about, Rias and Akeno smiling. Kiba looked down at the ground, frowning.
"Oh really? And who is that?" Kokabiel asked.
She looked up and answered, "The guy that gave you that bleeding scar on your face!" Kiba gasped and looked up at her, blushing.
"Wh-what?" he asked, surprised that she said that the "perfect candidate" for a hot boyfriend was...him.
"Kiba?" Xenovia asked as she looked at the surprised pretty boy.
"Him?" the Cadre-level fallen angel questioned.
"Y-yes...Yuuto Kiba is the perfect candidate for a hot boyfriend!" Issei answered proudly. "Not only is he hot, but he's a nice guy and the perfect gentleman! He also cares about me like he cares for President, Vice-President, Asia-chan, and Koneko-chan! He's also usually the first to save me before anyone! I'm glad that he's my comrade. I don't want to be with any other hottie but him!" Rias and Akeno smiled and giggled while Koneko just smiled.
"About time," she said.
Kiba's blush grew. "I-Issei-chan..." he said. "You really...think that about me?"
The female pervert turned to him and smiled, blushing as well. "Yes, Yuuto-kun. I think you're the perfect boyfriend...and well..." She rubbed the back of her head nervously, her blushing expanding. "I would like to be in a relationship with you."
"Aaaaaaawwww~," cooed Rias and Akeno.
"Cute," Koneko added.
Yuuto smiled and stood up. "Consider your dream granted, because I would also like to be in a relationship with you, Issei-chan," he replied. Now it was Issei's turn to gasp and blush, her whole face burning red. "Ever since I first laid eyes on you, I always thought you were cute and pretty. Despite your perverted tendencies and potty mouth, you're a sweet girl to hang out with, not to mention that you have a strong determination and care a lot about us, even hurting yourself just to protect us...and me. I like that in a girl." He chuckled and smiled at her. "That's why I love you, Issei-chan." Xenovia couldn't help but smile.
Her jaw dropped. She couldn't believe he loved her back. There was the kiss on her forehead before the Ranking Game began, but she thought it was to cheer her up, to get her mind off of what bad things might happen. To hear him say good things about her like her determination and the fact that she was both cute AND pretty to him...she felt like she was going to faint. She smiled at him, her eyes welling up with happy tears. "Kiba-kun...I...I love you too."
"Awwww~," Rias and Akeno cooed once again.
"Aa, ara~, the lovebirds confess to each other at last~," the raven-haired beauty commented before giggling.
"Now if you two lovebirds are done..." Kokabiel said, interrupting the moment. The two now lovers lost their blushes and looked at him angrily. Everyone else lost their smiles as well. "Where was I?"
"Issei-chan," Yuuto said. "After we're finished with him, do you mind if we share a kiss?"
Issei blushed again and looked at him. "A k-k-kiss?" she asked.
He nodded, smiling at her. "We don't need to do it in front of everyone. Plus, I can kiss you deeply, if that's what you want." She gasped in surprise. She couldn't believe he offered her that. Issei's gauntlet began to glow. She raised it up and it shot circles out of it, making everyone cover their eyes.
"What is that?!" shouted Rias.
"I've never seen something shine so brightly!" Yuuto added in surprise.
Akeno kept smiling. "Sacred Gears respond to their host's desires and grant them power," the raven-haired beauty explain before giggling again.
Issei closed her eyes, smiling and lowering the gauntlet to her eye level. "I can kiss him..." she said happily. "I can finally kiss Yuuto-kun! And he'll kiss me deeply!" She opened her eyes and giggled, getting out her bow and arrow and pointing it at Kokabiel. "I can kick your ass right now, Kokabiel! I'll take you down so I can kiss Yuuto-kun!" Yuuto could only chuckle at her saying.
The female pervert raised her bow and arrow up, her gauntlet shouting, "Explosion!" Her gauntlet became longer as well as her bow, her arrow growing longer and the arrow head getting sharper. The Cadre-level fallen angel, out of fear, jumped back and shot a light spear at her. She shot her arrow and broke through the spear, blowing up in front of Kokabiel, who screamed and shot back on impact. She then made her bow and arrow disappear to run and punch him several times at the face. He staggered back after her last punch.
"A Welsh Dragon gets this powerful because his host wants to make-out with a guy?" he asked in shock and disbelief. "Who the hell are you, bitch?!"
"Remember my name, Kokabiel!" Issei shouted confidently. "My name is Hyoudou Issei, the girl that kicked your ass! The lewd and unique host of the Sacred Gear! Rias Gremory's pawn!" She then posed with confidence.
"Are you trying to sound cool, Issei-senpai?" Koneko asked with an unimpressed look on her face. "Because you're failing on so many levels."
Yuuto chuckled again, sweat-dropping a little. "That's my girlfriend for you, trying to act cool," he stated.
"But it was what she's all about," Akeno said, giggling.
"That's right!" Rias added. "We'll only lose if we give up! Let's follow Issei's lead, everyone!"
"Yes, President," said the devils. Xenovia readied herself for battle as well.
Kokabiel laughed and spread out his wings. "How dare you attack me, low-class demon?!" he shouted to her. "This is turning fun, bitch!"
Suddenly, a chuckle was heard and an unfamiliar male voice asked, "Are you having THAT much fun?" He stopped laughing and looked up.
"Who goes there?!" he asked. Suddenly, the barrier around the school broke like glass. Everyone was shocked as they saw that and a light coming down. The light then revealed a white figure in armor, spreading his wings out. Issei's body was suddenly trembling and she wondered why.
"The Vanishing Dragon?!" Kokabiel cried out in fear. The brown-haired girl's body tensed.
"Th-The Vanishing Dragon?!" Issei repeated. "Then that's..."
The upper-class fallen angel gritted his teeth at the figure. "So, you were drawn here by the red one, huh, white dragon?" Her body tensed up even more. The Welsh Dragon had warned her about this. Suddenly, at the speed of light, the white dragon ripped off a couple of the fallen angel's wings.
"Wh-what did he do?!" asked the brown-haired female.
"Even I couldn't see that," Yuuto replied in awe.
"You have the feathers of a filthy crow," the white dragon commented. "Azazel's are darker, like the ever-lasting night."
"Damn you, what do you think you're playing at?!" shouted Kokabiel in fury.
"Well, you don't need wings to go where you're going." The furious fallen angel flew up and created a gigantic light spear, only to throw it at the white dragon.
However, he opened his palm, the actual dragon yelling, "Divide!" Energy came out of the palm, shrinking the spear into nothing. The fallen angel was aghast along with Issei. The person told him that his name was Albion and that it was one of his abilities of his Sacred Gear: Divine Dividing. Every ten seconds, it halves the powers of anyone he touches and adds them to his own.
"It halves a person's powers?" the female pervert asked in awe.
"You'd better get on with it, because soon, you won't even beat a human."
"The Welsh Dragon's host doubles their powers and transfers it to others," Rias explained. "Whereas the English Dragon halves its opponent's power and transfers them into its host. The legends are true, then."
The white dragon man said that this was getting boring, his wings glowing. He then charged towards Kokabiel and punched him in the stomach so hard, he coughed out blood, telling him that Azazel sent him to bring him back even if he kicks and screams all the way there. He then launched him up a path without letting go of him and then struck him hard into the ground, the magic circle that made the Excaliburs combine into one, go up and disappear, glittering light falling down.
The white dragon man also stated that he needed the stray priest to ask him a few questions, flying to him and grabbed him. Suddenly, the red dragon asked, "Ignoring me, White?" The white dragon person then turned to Issei, whose gauntlet was speaking.
"The gauntlet's talking?" asked Rias.
"So you were alive, Red," the person's Sacred Gear replied.
"Too bad we had to meet in a situation like this."
"Don't worry about it. We're destined to fight someday." Issei glared at the person. "These things happen."
"The Welsh and English Dragons speaking to each other..." Rias said, awed at the sight.
"We'll meet again, Ddraig," the white dragon said.
"Yeah, see you later, Albion," the red dragon replied.
As the white dragon person turned his back to Issei, she shouted, "Hey, wait!" He turned his head to her. "Who are you? What's the meaning of this?!"
"One needs the power to understand everything," the person answered. "Grow stronger, my arch-nemesis." The person then disappeared in a ray of light and shot up, just when Asia woke from her unconsciousness and stood up to see that sight. "Rias," said Sona, making the crimson-haired beauty turn to her.
"Oh! Sona!" she replied.
"I never knew the English Dragon would show up."
"But at least the town's safe from destruction because of him."
"Indeed." As the two talked to each other, Yuuto walked to Issei and placed his hand on her cheek, making her blush.
"So, Issei-chan, do you want to have that kiss?" he asked her, smiling.
"U-uuuuuum..." she stuttered, blushing even more and having imaginary steam coming out of her ears. "N-not right now! How about when we get home?"
He nodded. "That's fine." His smile then disappeared. He looked down. "So, it's all over, huh?" The female pervert lost a little of her blush. "But then...people are still furthering that man's research. My fight still isn-"
Issei shook her head. "No, Yuuto-kun. It's over," she interrupted, making him look up at her. Her blush grew. "That old bastard is dead and you're reunited with your old comrades, aren't you? Can you call that a happy ending?" He smiled at her and kissed her forehead, making her whole face red.
"I guess I can," he replied as his free hand held hers gently. She smiled, lacing her fingers with his.
"W-wait!" shouted Asia as she ran to the two lovers. "Why did Kiba-san kiss your forehead again? A-and why are you two holding hands?" She gasped. "D-does that mean-"
Both lovers laughed a little. Issei rubbed the back of her head. "Well...yeah," she replied.
"We're in love with each other, Asia-chan," the blonde pretty boy added.
The bishop gasped again and blushed. "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! When did you two-"
Koneko walked to her and answered, "While you were out, they confessed their love for each other after Kokabiel asked Issei-senpai to join his side and gave her an offer."
The bishop began to freak out. "Whaaaaaaaaaat?! How could have missed that?! I wished I woke up earlier! I wanted to see them confess!" Asia then calmed down and smiled at the two. "Well, I'm glad that you two are a couple now, Issei-san and Kiba-san." The three giggled. Issei was worrying about Asia, hearing the news of God being dead and all, but she was happy and the devil herself...well, she has never felt so happy in her life. Now Kiba was her boyfriend. She loved him and he loved her. What could more could she ask?
After her lover has been accepted back into the house of Gremory, Issei brought Kiba to her home with Rias and Asia...after his 1,000 spankings for being self-centered and Asia healing his bottom after. After a long talk with her parents, he was able to stay the night with her, even though her father was mighty concerned about Kiba, despite him saying that he won't do anything raunchy with her.
Now, there they are. The female devil in her pink pajamas with Yuuto embracing her from behind, shirtless and wearing her father's pajama pants he borrowed. She felt a blush run through her cheeks. Despite so much happening as of the day, it had to be the best day of her life. One of her dreams was achieved: to get a hot boyfriend. Now all there was is to become a powerful upper-class demon. Oh, and have a Reverse Harem of servants, though she wouldn't do perverted things to them. After all, her heart belonged to Yuuto Kiba and with his consent, she can do perverted things to him.
That suddenly made her think of something: they haven't shared that promised kiss yet. Without a second thought, she said, "Yuuto-kun." Suddenly, she knew that it was super late at night, yet she woke him up from saying that.
The blonde-haired male stirred and opened his eyes. "Hmmm? What's the matter, Issei-chan?" he asked wearily.
Damn it, Issei! she thought angrily to herself, pouting. Think before you speak!
He rested his head on her shoulder, making her blush grow, and looked at her. "Is something bothering you?"
She shook her head, then she stopped. "Well...I just realized we hadn't gotten that promised kiss yet," she admitted.
He gasped. "Oh! That's right." He then sat up on the bed, Issei doing the same thing, surprised he would kiss her late at night. He place his hand on her cheek, making her blush expand even more and her body shiver a little. He looked concerned. "Are you nervous?" he asked.
Issei giggled nervously, nodding. "Yeah...I never kissed anybody before..." she said quietly, feeling embarrassed.
He smiled at her, however, and chuckled a little. "Believe me, I haven't kiss anybody before either," he stated, making Issei gasp. "But after seeing some movies, I think I get the gist of it. So, do you want it to be soft or deep?" Issei gulped. He did say he got the gist of kissing, so she was a bit relived. She just hoped it wasn't awkward.
"U-uh, let's start with soft," she answered. "Then...um...try to make it deep?" Since she watched a lot of 18+ yaoi, she always wanted to know what a deep kiss felt like.
"As you wish, my love," Yuuto said, his hand moving to gently grab her chin before slowly pressing his lips against hers. They were warm and soft, feeling great against the female devil's lips. She closed her eyes as she melded into the kiss. Her body felt warmed by his kiss while her mind went in a frenzy. She was enjoying it a little too much, becoming a little too desperate to deepen the kiss. But at the same time, she didn't Kiba to feel uncomfortable with her deepening the kiss.
She decided to kiss him back, surprising him a little and wrapping her arms around his neck. For a bit of revenge, he surprised her by licking her lower lip, making her gasp and open her eyes. They broke the kiss, panting a little. She ran her fingers through her lower lip. Yuuto smiled a little.
"Sorry," he said. "You surprised me by kissing me back, so I took it a little further to surprise you."
Her face turned red and she playfully hit her lover on the shoulder. "I-idiot," she said in a tsundere manner, making him chuckle.
"Well, do you want to continue, Issei-chan?" he asked. She absolutely loved the kiss, so she nodded, making him press his lips against hers once more, this time a little harder. They both embraced each other tightly while making-out, their chests brushing against each other and the male devil's fingers running through the female devil's long brown hair. As promised, the blonde-haired pretty boy deepened their kiss by letting his tongue into her mouth. She moaned a little as they were passionately making out.
Kiba gently pushed her down on the bed, keeping his lips locked with hers. She was having some naughty thoughts in her head when he did that, grinning against his lips, making him laugh against hers. She let go of his embrace and began to run her fingers down his chest, making him tremble a little at her touch. She thought happily, Bingo~!
However, the male devil used one hand to gingerly go under her shirt and caress her back, making HER tremble to his touch. As much as Issei loved the feel of that, she felt like it was enough. She felt a little tired just making out with Yuuto anyway. She gently broke the kiss, a string of saliva connecting between their lips as they both panted for air. Issei broke the string with her finger though and giggled a little, making Yuuto chuckle.
"I...um...enjoyed that," she stated shyly.
Yuuto caressed her cheek and smiled. "I did as well, beautiful. That turned out better than expected," he said. Issei could only blush very hard and smile a little at his compliment.
"Yeah. You seem to be a natural." He leaned down to give her a quick peck on the lips.
"Thanks." He then laid down next to her and embraced his lover as she did to him. "I love you, Issei-chan," he said to her in a sweet voice. "There's nobody else I'd rather be with."
She thought that was good, never going to worry about him cheating on her. Besides, she felt the same about Yuuto himself. "I love you too, Yuuto-kun. There's no other hottie I'd rather be with." He smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Good night, my love," the blonde-haired guy said as he closed his eyes and went to sleep. She smiled and mustered up the courage to kiss his cheek as well.
"Good night, handsome," she said as she closed her eyes and began dreaming. As much as she hated to admit it, she was glad Raynare came into her life. If she hadn't, well, she wouldn't be with Kiba and she would be forever alone watching 18+ yaoi with Aika for the rest of her life. Besides, her life had gotten more exciting now that she was a devil now. She would never wish to leave this life, even if she was forced to.
GOOD LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY WAS THIS LONG! I hope it was worth it. So, how was this one-shot? Constructive criticism is welcome! If anyone but Fem!Issei's OOC, please tell me and I'll fix that. I actually made Fem!Issei a bit different from her male counterpart on purpose, just to do something different for once.
If you convince me well enough, I can make this into either a collection of one-shots involving Fem!Issei and Kiba or a story following the anime with fluffy moments between the two lovebirds. :3 (It can be where we left off here, after the Excalibur arc, or back to the beginning and getting more in-depth about what happened in Season 1.)
I was actually inspired by a review from my genderbent Highschool DXD story and I decided to make this. It was more of a suggestion to make the story more interesting. However, I only genderbent Issei, so everyone else is unaltered.
Also, sorry for making the writing in this one-shot a bit bipolar, switching from describing things in detail to telling what's going on and what people say. It was to keep this from getting any longer... *sweat-drops*
Review, follow, and favorite if you liked it! I'll see you later! :D
*EDIT #2: This may be edited if I do something different than intended in Before He Was Her Knight. Just telling you.*
