The Immortal's Pain

Chapter 2

AUTHOR'S NOTE oh my god I did not expect that kind of response. Almost immediately after posting the story did I get favorites and reviews. That felt so good. I immediately started working on the second chapter. I tried to respond to all of the reviews that I could, but there was just so many of you. To the Guest reviewers I cannot respond if you don't have an account, and I would love to respond.

For those of you who are wondering how Raynare could kill him, well A he has no resistance to light,holy, or magic energies as he has never encountered them before. B She is much stronger than in canon. C he wanted to die so he didn't fight it. But anyway on to the story. P.S. While writing this I had the song Who wants To Live Forever by Queen playing in the background. It kinda fits perfectly.

Issei Hyoudou gasped, sitting bolt upright in bed. He was covered in a sheen of sweat. He looked around wildly trying to figure out where he is. The last thing he remembered was Yuuma stabbing him, and then... Nothing.

Looking around he realized that he was in his room.

"Fuck, another death dream." He growled. He then sighed and rolled out of bed. He vaguely noticed that he was naked, which he thought was weird, but whatever. He threw open the blinds and the rush of sun almost physically hurt him, he definitely felt weaker looking at the sun. He squinted against the harsh glare of the light before turning around to get dressed. He got dressed in his usual uniform and red T-shirt combination. Sighing once more he left his room and trudged downstairs to make some breakfast.

After breakfast Issei headed of to school. Along the way he noticed the strange feeling persisting he somehow felt stronger but weaker at the same time, which made no freaking sense. He felt as if he could lift a car but to take a step felt too exhausting. It was very confusing. Issei shook his head and continued walking. When he finally reached school he almost bumped into another student a girl slightly shorter than him with a bowl cut and glasses. She started to smile at him but, quickly a confused look surfaced on her face followed by a saddened one, before quickly shifting back to a smile. The whole thing lasted less than a second, but Issei noticed. Her new smile also seemed to be a little forced. She said a greeting before quickly moving along her way. Issei was confused to say the least. He then shrugged it off and continued towards his class.

On his way Matsuda and Motohama started harassing him again. They kept talking about peeping on the girls changing room and loudly inviting Issei to come along. At this point Issei seriously started to wonder if they had any shame at all. Seriously though if they stopped being so loud and honest about their perversions they might actually get girlfriends.

Issei got to class, and slumped down in his desk and immediately fell asleep.

The lunch bell ringing woke Issei up with a jolt. He stretched and decided to go eat outside of the classroom for a change.

While walking in no particular direction he saw the Perverted Duo being chased by the Kendo club girls with shinai's. The two seemed to be moving quite fast for unathletic pervs. The super fit kendo club for some reason could not catch two losers, clearly this is the question of the ages.

Putting aside the ultimate question, Issei continued walking and eventually found him self by the old school building. He saw the perfect spot in the shade of a tree. He plopped himself down and opened his store bought bento. As he started eating, he felt something watching him. Turning his head he looked right towards the watcher. The person watching him was in the second floor window of the old school house. It was the girl from yesterday, Rias Gremory. He looked directly into her eyes with his usual bored look. She seemed startled that he had noticed her. She smiled hesitantly at him, and when he did not change his expression she ducked her head back into the window and disappeared from view.

Issei heard the bell signifying the end of lunch. He sighed and stood up. He gathered his things and trudged back to class.

*scene change*

Rias Gremory was confused. She knows exactly how pretty she is, and any other boy would have fainted if she smiled at them like that. Also this boy, this Issei Hyoudou, he exuded no presence whatsoever. She could feel nothing from him. Not a speck of human life energy. Not even the devil power he should have at this point. It was as if he didn't even exist. That was what originally drew Rias and Sona to him. He was like a black whole. Nothing where there should at least be something. Then Tsubaki who is an excellent sensor informed them that she sensed something from him, but couldn't confirm what it was. This immediately sparked Rias and Sona's curiosity and greed. They both had to have him, and Rias had won.

"Akeno, tell Kiba to bring that boy here after school."

"Yes Buchou".

*scene change*

Issei got back to class just as it was starting, so he narrowly avoided a scolding from the teacher. He sat through the rest of the day lost in his thoughts. That is until class ended, when he started packing up his things. He heard lots of loud obnoxious screams. He turned to see a handsome young man smiling beside him. The man was Yuuto Kiba the "Prince" of Kuoh.

"Hello Issei-Kun. My name is Yuuto Kiba. I have been requested by Buchou to escort you to her." The boy said.

"And if I refuse"?

Issei wanted to see how this boy would react. By the way his arms hung by his sides and his leg muscles clenched, Issei figured that this boy was a swordsman, and not a brawler. It was if the boy was expecting Issei to attack.

The boy suddenly relaxed and said " I guess you will never figure out what happened last night then, will you?" The boy said smirking slightly. Issei's eyebrow raised ever so slightly. The boy had caught his interest.

"Alright lead the way".

"Aah, so that's why Kiba-sama never responded to our feelings. He plays for the other team."

"Really do you think he pitches or catches?"

"I SUPPORT THE KIBA X ISSEI PAIRING!"

The last girl yelled that with fire in her eyes. That looked like it would hurt.

*scene change*

As Issei and Kiba walked, Kiba kept trying to make conversation but kept getting shut down by Issei with either one word answers or dead silence. By the time that they had gotten halfway to their destination Kiba had stopped trying altogether.

When they reached their destination Issei idly noticed that it was the old school building where he had eaten lunch today. As they walked through the building Issei noted that the interior was remarkably well maintained.

They stopped in front of a door and Kiba said "After you".

Issei opened the door and walked in.

To be continued

Jk I am not that much of an asshole.

Issei entered the room and immediately surveyed his surroundings. He was in a rather large room with two incredibly comfortable looking couches and a desk. There also strangely seemed to be a shower in the corner. He could vaguely see a silhouette of a buxom beauty through the curtain. His eyes did nothing more than a glance towards the shower before he continued surveying the room.

The room held several people. Kiba, of course, had walked over to sit on one of the couches. On the other couch sat a small girl with white hair. He recognized her as Koneko Tojou, the "school mascot". The third person in the room was the beautiful Akeno Himejima, she was looking at him with a very predatory gleam in her eyes, she was licking her lips while staring at him.

The occupant of the shower decided to grace them with her presence at that moment. She emerged wrapping a towel around her soaking nude body. Said towel barely covered anything, showing off her long toned legs. And ample bosom barely held back by the towel.

She held a smug look when she looked at Issei expecting him to be staring at her body like any typical hormonal teenager would. She was sadly disappointed. He looked into her eyes with the same bored expression. When she locked eyes with him she suddenly felt embarrassed with her state of dress, and she quickly magicked her clothes on.

"Now Issei-kun~." She said in a sultry voice. "I bet you are wondering why you are here".

He stared at her."no duh". He dead panned. "Also do not call me that".

"Mouu" she pouted. Staring at him with her puppy dog eyes, when the remarkable happened. A man wasn't affected by the legendary puppy dog eyes. It was a victory for men everywhere.

"Fine, Hyoudou-ku-" Issei continued to stare into her eyes.

"Hyoudou-San", she amended, " We called you here to inform you that we are Devils."

Issei's eyes widened imperceptibly.

"Also what you experienced last night was not in fact a dream."

Issei's eyebrows creased slightly at this.

"You died Hyoudou-San."

"Humph, yeah right".

"It's true. You were dead. I brought you back to life" she said with a smug look on her face, as if she was expecting thanks. What she got however was entirely different.

Issei's face was tilted so that his hair shadowed his eyes.

"So, what you're saying is that I died?"

"Correct"

"I was dead?"

"You're heart had been destroyed and your soul was heading to the next life."

Issei was shaking now. They all misperceived this as him crying in shock.

"And you brought me back to life?"

" Yes I did, I brought you back as a devil. You are now my servant. You are stronger than before so you won't be killed as easily. Welcome to my family." she said expecting him to fall to his knees and praise her or thank her profusely. She couldn't have been more wrong.

Something inside Issei snapped.

"HOW DARE YOU" he roared. His face shot up. Absolute fury was dip layer upon his face. A pressure like she had only felt from her brother before smothered the room. Rias Gremory feared for her life.

Issei Hyoudou was beyond furious. There were no words to describe how angry he was. He had finally after years and years of trying finally died, and this greedy little brat had taken it all away from him.

He took slow steps towards her, eyes blazing. Kiba tried to jump in the way, but was backhanded into a wall. Koneko leapt and punched him in the face, crushing his skull, which healed almost immediately. He grabbed Koneko's head and threw her at Kiba who was getting up in the corner. They both went down. He continued walking. His voice had taken on a demonic tone.

"FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DIE, AND WHEN I FINALLY DO SOME GREEDY LITTLE BINT DECIDES TO FULFILL HER OWN DESIRES AND BRINGS ME BACK! OH, I'M STRONGER NOW, HARDER TO KILL. YAY."

Akeno fired a lightning bolt at him which he redirected right back at her.

"SORRY SWEETIE, I'VE BEEN HIT BY LIGHTNING BEFORE SO IT WON'T WORK ON ME!" Akeno was sent flying by the lightning bolt. She crashed through the wall into the hallway beyond.

Rias Gremory was terrified. She started charging up her power of destruction.

"I HAVE BEEN ALONE FOR SO LONG AND YOU TOOK FROM ME THE ONE CHANCE TO BE BACK WITH THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT ME!"

"W-wait. You are apart of my peerage now, we will be together forever. Even after death. We will all go to hell together. You aren't alone anymore."

"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I WILL GO TO HELL ONCE I'VE DIED?"

"Y-yes".

"MARIA, CHRISTA, I CAN NEVER BE WITH THEM AGAIN. AAAAAAAAGGGGGGH."

He fell to his knees in front of Rias. A roar of pain and anguish echoed throughout the building, so primal and filled with sorrow that all who heard it were hit with a wave of absolute despair. All of their worst fears and saddest memories came flooding to the forefront of their minds. Amplified one thousand fold.

They felt his anguish, his wretched suffering, his never ending torment.

They felt The Immortal's Pain.

Issei's wail ended and Issei Hyoudou passed out.

Author's note.

Holy shit that was exhausting. After receiving so many favorites and follows I immediately started working on chapter 2 but it took forever.

Please note however that I most likely will not be updating this frequently in the future. A this was the weekend. B I knew exactly what I wanted to happen. For much of the rest of the story I have only the barest outline, if that. It will likely take longer to update in the future as I have school, but I will most definitely continue, thanks to all of the support that I have been given.

Thanks to all of you who support this story. And a special thanks to my friends at the Traveller' Roost. They helped so much with this story and wouldn't let me cut corners. So thanks guys.

Also I have received a lot of questions through reviews and PMs. So I made a forum. There is a link on my Bio. Chances are your questions might already be answered.
