What's up guys! It's been a while since I've written another one-shot since I had 3 different Highschool DxD series to deal with, but I couldn't help but come out with this one after getting to know the party game called "Mafia". So this would be a game night in the Hyoudou residence with a twist. And for those who are not familiar with the game please check it out on youtube or wikipedia because my explaining skills suck. Happy reading.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
[Ddraig]
(Issei POV)
It's game night! We the ORC were in our seats while Kiba paced back and forth behind us. As we're sitting in a horseshoe formation, I can have a view of everyone's face from my position.
Kiba: "Ok everyone, please close your eyes and put your hand out. I'll be giving each one of you a card which will determine your roll in the game."
We did as we're told and received our cards while awaiting the Knight's instructions.
Kiba: "Right. Now everyone please open your eyes and take a look at your card, do NOT let the others see your card."
Oooo…I've got the King of Spades.
Kiba: "Alright. Now here are the roles that each card represents:
Jack cards (Exorcists) – To murder all of the Citizens of the underworld.
Number cards (Underworld Citizens) – To identify the Exorcists during daytime.
Queen card (Angel healer) – To save a player and him/herself from being murdered.
King card (Sekiryuutei) – To identify and defeat the Exorcist during nighttime.
So everyone, please memorize your roles and hide your cards."
I see. So I'm the Sekiryuutei? How predictable.
Kiba: "Let the game begin. Everybody close your eyes and go to sleep."
(Normal POV)
Soon all the devils and an angel in the room kept their eyes shut whilst awaiting Kiba's next command.
Kiba: "It is a quiet night in the Hyoudou residence, but not for long because the building is invaded by 2 Exorcist. Thus, may both holders of the Jack cards wake up and decide who'd you like to kill."
Without saying a word, Asia and Akeno opened their eyes and gave each other a surprised look. After about 3 minutes of thought and silent discussion, both Exorcists pointed at Rossweise, who was squealing nervously awaiting her fate.
Kiba: "Ok. Exorcists go back to sleep. Now, will the healer please wake up and pick who would you want to save?"
With her sense of sight restored, Xenovia looked around and pointed at Gasper. The blonde Knight then gave her a nod and she went back to sleep.
Kiba: "Now can the Sekiryuutei please rise and choose who you think is an Exorcist."
This time Issei scanned his comrades and pointed at Xenovia. However, Kiba shook his head as the perverted pawn picked the wrong individual.
Kiba: "Go to sleep sekiryuutei and now everyone rise and shine it's a new day. So what happened was, the 2 Exorcists had claimed a victim as she was heading back home from the local convenient store.
Issei: 'Phew! So I'm still alive.'
Kiba: "Unfortunately, the healer wasn't able to arrive in time to mend your wounds and thus….."
Kiba held Irina's shoulders from behind which startled her.
Irina: "Gasp! Kiba-kun, you don't mean…"
Kiba: "I'm sorry Rossweise-sensei, but you've been murdered."
Rossweise: "Huh?! Wha-Why me?!"
Rias: "Don't worry, we'll avenge you."
Kiba: "Sensei, please show your card to everyone."
Issei: "Uh oh. Citizen down."
Akeno: "Ara ara, how unfortunate."
Gasper: "Uuuuu Koneko-chan, I'm scaaarreddd….."
Koneko: "There there Gya-kun."
Kiba: "Right. You guys have 2 minutes to decide who the Exorcists are and then we'll have a vote on the guilty and innocent. Everyone gathers at the conference room and we'll have our meeting….now!"
Rias: "I suspect….. that it was Xenovia who killed Rossweise."
Xenovia: "No no no. That's just racist buchou."
Irina: "I nominate Ise-kun. It's only natural since he's the only boy here."
Issei: "Oi Irina! Gasper is a boy too. Why don't you accuse him?!"
Irina: "He will until he dresses up like one. Oh Lord, forgive me for being mean to this poor vampire."
Gasper: "Uuueeeee! Irina-senpai is mean to meeeee…."
Xenovia: "I nominate Ise as well. He has that suspicious intensity on his face."
Issei: "Now hold on! How could I be an Exorcist if my survival will decide who'll live!?"
Koneko: "So senpai is the healer?"
Issei: "….Maybe?... There's still the Sekiryuutei you know. But I nominate Akeno-san."
Akeno: "Ara Ise-kun, is that how you treat your senpai?"
Issei: "I'm sorry but you seem to be awfully quiet now so I grew rather suspicious of you."
Kiba: "Time's up! So we now have 3 suspects who are considered Exorcists namely Xenovia, Akeno-san and Ise-kun. Thus, you'll state your case as to why you are not the murderer of Rossweise sensei. You each have 30 seconds starting with Xenovia and we begin now!"
Xenovia: "Come on guys. I can assure you that I'm not the Exorcist despite being one in the past."
Koneko: "But how can we be sure?"
Rias: "Yeah. You're the only one with any real experience."
Xenovia: "Again, that's no reason to accuse me as Sensei's killer. It must be Ise. He's just eliminating all the side players leaving only the main girls alive."
Issei: "And who might that be?"
Xenovia: "Duh?! Rias buchou, Akeno fuku-buchou and Asia of course."
Irina: "I agree with Xenovia."
Kiba: "Ok Ise-kun, tell us why you're not the one who killed Rossweise-sensei?"
Issei: "I told you! My job is to save you guys, not kill you. Plus, if I were to be the Exorcist, the 1st one to be murdered would be Gasper."
Gasper: "Buuueeeennnn…! Ise-senpai , how could youuuu…"
Irina: "But out of all of us only Rossweise wasn't close to you so it'll be no surprise that you'd be willing to kill her."
Issei: "But I didn't. I'm not the Exorcist."
Rias: "I trust that you'd make the right decision Ise. Even if it is myself or the others."
Issei: "Hmm…Now I have doubts…."
Kiba: "Thank you Ise-kun. Last would be Akeno-san. Please state your case."
Akeno: "For starters, I'm just a normal citizen so my judgment won't matter at all."
Issei: "Nice try Akeno-san. But I've noticed that you've been giggling ever since Kiba announced Rossweise-san's death. Care to explain that?"
Akeno: "Oh nothing. I was thinking about something funny, that's all."
Rias: "Is that right Akeno? It's not like you to laugh randomly…"
Akeno: "Ara? Did I spoke too much?"
Kiba: "Right! We'll cast our votes. So who says it's Xenovia?"
Rias and Gasper raise their hands.
Kiba: "And for Ise-kun?"
Issei received votes from the Church trio, Koneko and Gasper.
Issei: "Oi Gasepr?! Koneko-chan too?"
Koneko: "A pervert is a pervert. You deserve out."
Kiba: "….I guess Akeno-san is safe then. I'm sorry Ise-kun, but the court considers you guilty."
Issei: "Rias! Gasper! Please avenge me!"
Kiba: "Now if you please reveal your card."
Issei: "Sigh….I could have rescued you guys you know." (Shows card.)
Church Trio, Rias and Rossweise: "GASP! We killed the Sekiryuutei."
[Oh Geee. I wonder who'll save use now. (Sarcasm)]
Kiba: "Uh oh, our hero is dead and the 2 murderers are still at large so everyone go back to sleep."
At round 2, everyone but Rossweise and Issei closed their eyes as Prince charming resumes his narration.
Kiba: "It is the 2nd night so Exorcists, choose your victim."
As Asia and Akeno woke up and pointed at Koneko, Issei's eyes almost popped out as he found out his innocent adopted sister was one of them all along.
Issei: 'Eeeeeehh! Asia?! And I knew it was Akeno-san.'
Kiba: "Thank you very much. Now go to sleep. Next is the healer, please pick your patient."
This time Xenovia pointed at Asia since she was her best friend, although she unknowingly wasted the chance to save the killer of this room.
Kiba: "Ok. Interesting….So what happened was that the killers struck again and managed to claim another victim. Not only that, it seems that the healer might have tended the wounds of the unharmed."
Issei couldn't help but face palm at the bluenette's choice.
Kiba: "Now everyone please rise up. It is morning and we have found…the corpse of a certain devil."
Irina: "So I'm still alive. Yay!"
Kiba: "She was in the fridge looking for a late night snack when suddenly….STAB! She received a blade from behind. I'm sorry to say that the one, who fell, is Koneko-chan."
Koneko: "….."
Xenovia: "Oh! Now I know what happened!"
Kiba: "So people, you have 2 minutes to have your meeting and it starts now."
Xenovia: "Since Ise is out of the picture, my guess is that Akeno-fukubuchou is the killer."
Akeno: "Are you sure Xenovia-chan? You seem quite aggressive all of the sudden."
Irina: "It only makes sense. I trust that Asia and Xenovia couldn't be the Exorcists due to their fate in the
Lord."
Issei: 'And the irony is real in this one.'
Akeno: "Ara ara. And you've never thought of Rias being one of them?"
Rias: "Akeno?! How could you? If I were to be an Exorcist, my victim would be a none-devil. No offense Irina."
Xenovia: "What's more, knowing Rias buchou, she would never kill off her own servants."
Akeno: "Find. What about Gasper-kun?"
Rossweise: "I'll be in my room."
Issei: "I'll tell you how it goes."
Irina: "He's too quiet to do anything."
Kiba: "Oh right before I forget. Koneko-chan, may I ask what are you?"
Koneko took out her card which revealed her role as a citizen.
Issei: "Come here Koneko-chan." (Pats on his lap)
Kiba: "Back to reality. We only have one nominee so far and thus I ask, who here thinks Akeno-san killed Koneko-chan?"
Soon, everyone minus Asia and Gasper gave their vote while the Priestess gave them a bitter smile.
Kiba: "With that I'm sorry Akeno-san but you've been killed. So please reveal your card."
Akeno took out her Jack of hearts which signaled the death of an Exorcist.
Akeno: "Ufufu! You got me."
Xenovia: "I knew it! Only the sadist queen would mercilessly dispose innocent citizens."
Kiba: "Ok ok everyone back to sleep and we're now at round 3! So, may the Exorcist kill someone off."
Asia scanned around but was unsure who to take out. Knowing that the nun is passive by nature, Kiba allowed Issei to suggest the next victim, much to his amusement. With a simple gesture, Issei signaled Asia which in turn pointed at a certain red haired lady.
Kiba: "Very well. Healer, you may pick your patient for the night."
This time, the Blunette picked herself and went back to sleep.
Kiba: "Ok…..So it's a new day in the Hyoudou residence and unfortunately, the healer is being a little selfish today. It appears that the Exorcist has taken another life last night which left the floors stained red."
Irina: "Red? As in red in blood?"
Kiba: "Yes…..Red in blood. Which seems to bleed out of the head belonging to this poor princess."
Rias: "What? I'm dead?!"
Kiba: "I'm so sorry buchou. But yes, the killer has smashed your head."
Rias: "Oh no…'
Irina: "My God! So it's either Xenovia or Gasper-kun."
Gasper: "Uuwaaa! No! I'm not the killer. Please believe me!"
Xenovia: "Oh. And you're not to blame Irina?"
Irina: "Hey! I may be from the church faction but I'd never hurt Rias-san."
Xenovia: "It can't be Asia, she's too innocent to choose somebody."
Asia: "Actually I…"
Kiba then shook his head to keep the blonde nun from revealing her identity.
Gasper: "Xenovia-senpai must be the killer. She keeps on choosing me!"
Kiba: "Alright, calm down Gasper-kun. Apparently among the 4 of you there could be only one Exorcist and one healer. So far we have 2 nominees accused for the murder of buchou so, Irina and Xenovia, make your case."
Xenovia: "Just admit it Irina. You're the one who killed Rias buchou and not me."
Irina: "I'm telling you it's not me either. So it must be you!"
Gasper: "I vote for Xenovia-senpai!"
….
Irina: "Me too!"
Xenovia: "Oh yeah?! Then I vote Irina!"
Kiba: "Well….things took an uneventful turn so Asia-san, who do you vote for?"
The blonde nun hesitated and was indecisive. On her right is Irina, a fellow believer of God and childhood friend of her beloved Issei. On her left is Xenovia, another fellow believer of God and best friend. To be honest, she was saddened by the fact that either choice would not end well. As if out of habit, she turned to Issei who mouthed out his childhood friend in order to proceed with the game and to bring a halt to this stalemate.
Asia: "I'm deeply sorry Irina-san, but I'll have to pick you."
Kiba: "Oh…wow…I wasn't expecting that um….It appears that since a decision can't be made, both suspects are deemed guilty for safety purposes and thus, the remaining ones are Gasper-kun and Asia-san. So Xenovia, Irina and buchou, could you please reveal your true colours."
One by one, each of them showed themselves as the healer and 2 citizens.
Rias & Irina: "What?! You're the healer all along?!"
Xenovia: "Duh!?"
Kiba: "In short, the Exorcists have won because the other remaining killer is in fact….. Asia-san."
"EEEEEEHHHHHH!"
Asia: "I'm sorry I've killed you all. Please forgive me."
Rias: "We forgive you Asia. I've honestly never thought that you would be the killer."
Irina: "Oh Lord! Please forgive Asia for being the sole Exorcist in the group! Amen!"
Issei: "It's just a game Irina. No need to get so worked up about it."
Kiba: "And an intense one too."
Rias: "We should play this again some time."
Everyone: "NO THANK YOU!"
Hey guys! So how did you like it? As you may noticed I gave the Mafia game a little DxD twist just for the fun of it. Also, incase your confused about the roles I've given, here's a quick guide:
Exorcists (Jack cards) = Mafia
Underworld citizens (Number cards) = Civilians
Angel healer (Queen card) = Doctor/ Nurse
Sekiryuutei (King card) = Detective/ Police
Hope you guys enjoyed it and I'll see you next time. GANPAI!
