In the morning…
WAKE-UP! WAKE-UP! WAKE-UP! WAKE- Beep.
Issei groaned and rubbed his eyes. He yawned and stretched his hands.
"I feel like I died twice," Issei mumbled. He felt a breeze and then noticed that he was missing his clothes.
"Eh? Where are all my clothes?" Issei thought with confusion.
Issei turned in his bed and lifted the covers next to him hoping to find his clothes. His eyes widened when he saw Rias next to him in bed, naked.
"AUHG!" Issei yelled and he leapt backward in shock.
"W-WHAT?! Rias-senpai!" Issei yelled.
Rias mumbled and then stood on her knees.
"Is it morning already?" Rias mumbled. She then rubbed the sleep out of her eyes before smiling at Issei. She rested her head on her knee and asked, "Are you alright Issei?"
Issei looked at Rias in shock. After all, when will there ever be a day where your school's top model would be next to you naked?
Issei shook out of his shock though and while blushing asked, "Uh, why are you here?"
"I had to carry you to your house while you were unconscious. Though, you should've been dead by now…" Rias said with a slight frown.
{She's on to us now! Sooner or later, my presence will be revealed!} Erebos roared.
"I know! Just calm down, I know I have been sloppy in concealing you, but there's no other choice, I have to reveal you some day, if not today!" Issei yelled.
{T-today?!} Erebos sputtered. {You my friend, are crazy!}
"Isn't that why you chose to be in me?" Issei retorted. Issei was rewarded with silence.
"W-why are you naked?" Issei timidly asked.
Rias smiled. "I can't sleep with my clothes on."
"Really?! That's the reason?! I feel like I'm a molester or a pervert!" Issei thought.
"Also Issei," Rias said startling Issei out of his thoughts, "where were your parents? I didn't see them when I came in to the house."
Rias thought she saw Issei stiffen but she must have imagined it because Issei's face broke out in to a smile and he replied, "My mother and father are out of town. They're supposed to come sometime this day."
"I see," Rias said with uncertainty and she got out of Issei's bed and got herself dressed.
At Kuoh Academy…
In front of the school there was a huge uproar going on and everyone could probably guess why. Rias was calmly walking with Issei close behind her not even taking interest in the great beauty in front of him.
"H-how? When?!" a guy yelled.
"That impossible, not with that guy!" another guy said.
The girls were all shouting in despair too.
"No! Issei-sama, why couldn't you choose me?" A girl yelled.
Issei smiled tightly in slight annoyance since he was being bombarded with questions and insults. Sure, he was walking with the great beauty, Rias Gremory, but that wasn't his fault! Issei and Rias soon entered the school building and Issei was glad to get away from the crowd.
"Issei," Rias said.
"Yes?" Issei responded.
"Can you please come to the old school house building again after school?" Rias asked.
"Oh, sure. I was planning on going anyway. I need to introduce someone," Issei said.
"Very well, see you there!" Rias said and she walked away.
After School…
Issei walked inside the old abandoned school building. After going upstairs, he found the room and went inside. Inside, everyone was there, Rias, Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko.
"Welcome Issei-kun," Akeno said and she giggled.
"Hello, Akeno-senpai," Issei said. "Rias-senpai, why have you called me here?"
"I wanted to find out more about what happened that night, the night you were on a date with the fallen angel," Rias answered. "What exactly happened last night?"
"I was on the date with a girl called Yuuma. At the end of our date, she assumed her fallen angel form and stabbed me with a light lance because I had a sacred gear. However, as you can see, I am not dead," Issei said.
({But you were still pretty stupid to not find out her intent.}) Erebos and Ddraig commented.
"Shut up!" Issei yelled.
"Sacred gear…" Rias said thoughtfully. "Issei, do you know what a sacred gear is?"
"Yes…" Issei said and he closed his eyes and thought of the most powerful thought he could. Within a second, he felt power surge through him. Issei opened his eyes and smiled when he saw his arm. A red gauntlet with a green round jewel on the top of his hand encased his arm.
"Which sacred gear is that? It looks like a Twice-Critical," Rias said.
"Oh, hold on," Issei said and he concentrated.
(Explosion!)
The gauntlet grew claws and the arm part extended revealing yellow spikes that jutted out.
"Boosted Gear!" Rias exclaimed, surprised. "You're this generation's Sekiryuutei?!"
"Yes, but strangely, I have never met the Hakuryuukou yet which makes me slightly worried," Issei said with a slight frown.
"But, for you have the Boosted Gear, it's no wonder the fallen angels are trying to kill you," Rias said and her eyes flashed with anger.
Her anger though simmered down and then Rias asked, "And also, about last night, how did you survive three light spears in the chest? And better yet, couldn't you have defeated the fallen angels since you are the wielder of the boosted gear?"
"Erebos, I'm going to reveal you okay."
{Fine. They're already too suspicious on how you survived three light spears in the chest. Not only that, they still think you're human, and a very weak one at that.}
Issei turned red with embarrassment, but he cleared his throat and said, "The reason I wanted to come here was so that I could introduce someone so that he could help explain why I am alive. Everyone, meet Erebos."
And from the ground a black hole surfaced. Black lightning crackled inside this black portal. Rias and her peerage stared at the black hole tensely. At first nothing appeared, but then a great black shape darted out of the hole and landed lightly on the floor. A black dragon with golden eyes stood before Rias and her peerage. The dragon had its arms and legs wrapped with black chains that had claws and dragon writing on them.
"Oh, thank God Erebos, you're not at your full size," Issei said with relief.
"Idiot. If I were to go my full size, I could crush this building with my foot," Erebos growled. Erebos then turned to Rias and her shocked peerage and cleared his throat.
"Hello, I am Erebos, the dragon that lives in Issei. I am Issei's despair, his fear, his loneliness, his pain, his darkness. It is nice to meet you."
"H-hello Erebos-san," Rias stuttered.
Erebos grinned and his teeth shone bright white. "It is good to know that there are still some devils that show respect."
Issei sighed and then smiled sheepishly, "This is my dragon that is inside me and he is the reason why I was not killed by Yuuma-chan."
"What do you mean?" Akeno asked.
"Since Issei is my host, I grant him eternal life, as well as unimaginable power. Issei simply cannot die especially by those puny light spears those vulgar, perverted fallen angels threw."
"Like you're one to talk!" Issei thought.
"You granted him eternal life?" Rias said.
"Yes, Issei cannot die. The only way to defeat Issei is if you could freeze him in a time stasis, or you could trap him in stone though that idea never works. Or you can destroy his body," Erebos said.
"Wow, so you must be really strong Issei," Rias said.
"Kid, show her some power," Erebos said.
Issei complied and flared his aura causing Rias and her peerage to stumble back. Rias knees were shaking heavily and Akeno was breathing heavily.
Issei stopped his power and Rias and her peerage stood back up.
"I see... But if you're this powerful, why didn't you kill the fallen angels?" Rias asked.
"Well, you would know, that the devils, angels, and fallen angels are on a truce, so killing them would not look good and I don't want to start a war," Issei explained.
"Oh, that's right…we are at a stalemate currently," Rias said and then she hugged Issei making Issei blush and stutter.
"Uh, Rias?" Issei said.
"Thank you for being considerate to us devils," Rias said softly.
"Well, now I'm definitely jealous of you Issei," Erebos said making Issei blush again.
"Shut up!" Issei said and Rias and her peerage laughed.
Rias then let go of Issei and patted his head which only made Issei blush harder.
"Oh, by the way Issei. I also called you here because I wish to try something," Rias said in a matter-of-factly.
Issei had a look of curiosity on his face before saying, "What is it?"
"I wish to see if I can reincarnate you into a devil," Rias said.
"Ha!" Erebos snorted. "You are asking for the impossible Rias Gremory. Issei cannot be reincarnated into a devil."
"And why is that?" Rias asked with her eyes narrowed.
"Issei is a devil," Erebos said.
Everyone looked at Issei with wide eyes.
"Is that true Issei?" Rias asked.
"Yes…it's true. I am a devil. I am actually part devil and part human which is why I can harbor a sacred gear."
"I see…then if you are okay with it, may I ask if you can be a member of the Occult Research Club? It would be very valuable for you to be here."
"I understand and I accept. However, I do own my own peerage, so I apologize if the club gets a bit big," Issei said sheepishly.
"You have your own peerage?!" Rias said shocked.
"Yes, I have my own peerage however, they have not arrived yet and I am still waiting for them."
"I see…how many pieces do you have then Issei?" Rias asked.
"Uh, well I currently own a queen a rook, and a bishop. However, they won't be arriving yet in a few days," Issei answered.
"Damn, so I guess I won't be able to have him as a part of my peerage," Rias thought with a disappointed look.
"Issei, also, can you call me buchou from now on? Since you are a part of this club, I would appreciate it if you would call me buchou at school. People might go crazy if they see you calling me Rias," Rias said.
"Of course buchou," Issei said. Rias smiled.
Rias then turned to Erebos and bowed. "Thank you for coming, a dragon is a rare sight these days," Rias said.
Erebos grinned and answered, "Thank you. In return for your respect and kindness, I simply won't eat you all."
Everyone's sweat dropped and Erebos roared with laughter.
At that moment, a cell phone ringtone was heard.
Everyone looked at Issei who took out the phone and said, "Hello? Okaasan?"
Everyone watched as Issei talked a bit and then putting away his cell phone.
"I'm terribly sorry, my mother is waiting for me and I just realized what the time was. I'll see you tomorrow buchou," Issei said.
"Very well, bye Issei-kun," Rias said.
Issei bowed before getting out of the room with Erebos following him like a dog.
"Well, you have more friends. Finally, after being alone with just your peerage, I can finally get some toys to play with," Erebos said creepily.
"Erebos, that's just plain creepy," Issei said and he shivered.
"Shut up and deal with it," Erebos said smartly.
Issei smiled and he decided to teleport to his house. Issei disappeared into the ground and ended up in front of his house. Issei went in and said hello to his mother before eating a quick dinner. After eating, Issei went up into his room, took of his clothes and crawled into bed. He went to sleep instantly.
Next morning…
Issei was walking to school with a smile on his face.
"Friends huh?" He thought.
"Ah!" a voice yelled out.
"Huh?" Issei turned and saw a person that fell down.
"Oh, are you okay?" Issei asked and she helped the girl up who looked foreign.
"Ah, arigato," the person said. Issei took a good look at the person.
It was a girl, probably around his age with blonde hair that reached down to her back and green eyes. She had split bangs and a single strand of hair sticking out from the top, sloping backwards. She was dressed in a nun attire.
"She's actually very cute," Issei thought.
"Uh, let me help you. You dropped your suitcase," Issei said and he picked up all the clothes that had fallen out of the suit case and put them back in before handing the suitcase back to the girl.
"Thank you, and can you help me?" the girl shyly asked.
"What is it?" Issei asked politely.
"I-I've lost my way and I don't know what to do…" the girl said in shame.
"Oh. Are you perhaps looking for a church?" Issei asked. "You are a sister after all correct?"
"Yes, I am. Will you walk me to the church please?" the girl asked kindly.
"Sure," Issei said and he at that moment he saw a silver cross on the girl. He felt a tickling sensation.
"So this is what it's like when you're a devil huh?" Issei said. He also felt just a bit of distaste towards the sun which was fine since he didn't like it when it's was too sunny.
Issei and the girl walked and they stopped when they saw a child crying. Issei saw that the boy had a scratch on his knee and it was bleeding.
Issei was about to heal the boy when the girl stepped forward and smiled.
"You're okay, you're a big boy. You shouldn't cry over this boo-boo," the girl said warmly. She then moved her hands over the boy's knee and her hands glowed with green energy. Issei watched in interest as the boy's wound gradually started to fade away until it disappeared.
{Twilight Healing, a sacred gear. How interesting!} Erebos said with interest.
"Yes, a very useful ability," Issei commented.
Issei then felt his hand pulsate and he gripped his hand with his other hand.
"This feeling…" Issei thought.
{He's senses him, the white guy. I will see to it."} Erebos said.
"Oh, sorry, I got a little carried away," the girl said as she noticed Issei standing there.
Issei smiled and then he and the girl walked on towards the church.
"That was a pretty decent twinge in my left hand," Issei thought with a grim smile.
"Are you surprised?" the girl asked.
"Oh, no I'm actually interested. Twilight Healing correct? Such a powerful healing ability. It seems to fit you," Issei said. The girl blushed and turned her head away.
"Yes, it's a wonderful ability that I received from God," the girl said proudly. "A wonderful ability. Oh? There it is!"
Issei looked and saw the church a few miles up. He then felt a slight sense of doom and he stiffened.
"Ah, could you walk me to there?" the girl asked.
"Ah, I can't. I'll be late for school," Issei said and he felt his hand shake.
"I see," the girl said somewhat sadly. But she brightened up again and said, "Well, may I know your name? you were very kind to me after all."
"Ah, my name is Hyoudou Issei. Please call me Issei," Issei said. "And your name?"
"My name is Asia Argento. Please call me Asia," the girl said and she smiled.
"It was a pleasure to meet you," Issei said and he left the girl.
"Please, when you get the time, can you come to visit me in the church?" The girl asked.
"Sure," Issei said though he still felt a slight chill.
As Issei walked away he took one last look at Asia and thought, "What a kind and nice girl."
In the abandoned school building after school…
"You must never go near the church again Issei," Rias said sternly.
"And that is because it's a danger to us devils. My devil senses sensed danger which means that there is an exorcist there correct?" Issei said. Rias smiled.
"My lovely kouhai, so smart and intelligent. Yes, you are correct," Rias said and her face went stern again. "You should never go to the church. You are a devil, I thought you would be more careful."
"Do not underestimate me or Issei, Rias Gremory," Erebos's voice said from nowhere.
"Do not forget, Issei is a devil and an exorcist will surely kill him if he gets to close," said Rias.
"I appreciate your concern from my host," Erebos said, "but do not forget, Issei is eternal, he cannot die and as long as my will defies it, I can make the weaknesses of a devil disappear."
"Oh, that's right," Rias said and she became thoughtful at Erebos's words. "You can make the weaknesses of a devil disappear? Is that only for Issei and can you use that power to shield us too?"
"I can protect you guys as well but only if Issei allows me to which he would," Erebos said.
Rias clapped her hands together in excitement and she said excitedly, "Wow, your power is amazing Erebos-san!"
"W-what…thank you very much…" Erebos said and he sounded like he was embarrassed.
"Now look who's getting the butterflies!" Issei yelled triumphantly.
"Shut up you brat!" Erebos roared.
"Make me you hentai dragon!" Issei said with a smirk.
"EH?! HENTAI DRAGON?! You dare make fun of me boy?! Take that back!" Erebos roared in rage.
"Never! After all, you were the one who made me learn how to do that perverted technique dres-,"
"SILENCE!" Erebos bellowed.
"Oh my, Buchou," a voice said.
Rias and Issei turned to see Akeno.
"Akeno? I though you went home already," Rias said surprised.
"We just received a message from the archduke," Akeno said seriously.
"The archduke?"
"Yes. A stray devil was spotted in this town," Akeno replied. Rias's eyes hardened.
In the forest…
A red magic circle appeared in a clearing and Rias and her peerage appeared out of it.
"A stray devil huh?" Issei said.
"We have gotten reports of this stray devil luring people in to the abandoned house up ahead and eating them," Akeno said. "Our job tonight is to put it down."
"Using their devil power without restraint always brings an ugly outcome," Kiba said.
Everyone entered in the house and as they walked Issei checked around him. Having both the devil's power to see and hear at night combined with the power Erebos gave him had enhanced Issei's senses to something beyond imaginable. He had already sensed where the stray devil was, but he wanted to test Rias and her peerage so he kept his mouth shut.
"Issei seeing as how you already know much about us devils and the fact that you are a devil, what do you know about devils and their pieces?" Rias asked.
"Well, it's like chess. The High Class devils are the King while they chose their Knight, Queen, Rook, Bishop, and Pawns. The devils that are given any of those powers are given that personality of that chess piece, correct?" Issei said. "Why ask me these questions? Is she trying to confirm the fact that I am a devil?"
"Yes, very good. As I said, you are very smart, as expected of you as a devil," Rias said with a smile. "Please, watch how we fight tonight."
"It would be my pleasure," Issei said. "And also, she's here. I can sense her."
"Oh, I can smell something unpleasant but sweet too," a voice whispered. "I wonder if it's sweet. I wonder if it's bitter though."
And a woman appeared from behind a pillar. She was a young woman with black hair and black eyes.
"Stray devil Viser, you unfaithful wretch, running away from your master and running wild to fulfill your lusts and desires. Your sins are worth of a thousand deaths. In the name of the Marquis of Gremory, I will annihilate you!" Rias declared with a smile.
"Insolent little girl. Would you like me to stain your body with blood, the same color as your hair?" Viser said and she laughed while rubbing her breasts.
Viser grinned manically and suddenly magic circles appeared on her breasts. She shot two yellow energy beams at Rias and her peerage. Everyone dove for cover but Issei stood where he was.
"Issei!" Rias yelled at him.
"It's okay. This attack...is nothing to me," Issei replied with no emotion and he raised his hand and a black hole formed sucking the energy beams that Viser shot.
"That attack is no good I'm afraid," Issei said and he smiled.
Viser grinned before she stood and the rest of her body was revealed to be like a centaurs.
Rias smiled and then shouted, "Kiba!"
"Yes, buchou!" Kiba answered and he took out his sword and disappeared.
"Nice speed," Issei commented. "He's your knight?"
"Yes, Yuuto Kiba role is the knight, his attribute is speed. His ultimate weapon are demonic swords," Rias answered.
Kiba rushed towards Viser and then cut off both her arms. Viser screamed in pain.
Koneko walked forward to Viser and Viser looked at Koneko before her face changed to have long ears and sharp teeth. A cavity appeared in her body and they opened to reveal massive jaws with huge teeth.
Viser lunged forward while shouting, "Die!"
Koneko disappeared into Viser jaws and Viser laughed.
However, the jaws began to open until they were forced open. Koneko walked out of the jaws before saying quietly, "Down you go," before smashing her fist against Viser jaws breaking the teeth. Viser slammed into a pillar and she fell down groaning in pain.
"Akeno?" Rias called.
"Yes, buchou," Akeno answered and she walked towards Viser. "Ara ara, what am I supposed to do about this?" and Akeno giggled.
Suddenly, one of Viser's arms flew towards Rias and Issei quickly reacted.
Running towards Rias, he shouted, "Sacred Gear!" and the red gauntlet appeared on his arm before he smashed the arm away from Rias.
Rias fell down in shock before saying, "A-arigato."
"It's fine. I just reacted, that all," Issei said.
Rias then stood up and said, "Akeno? Finish her off."
"Yes. You're a naughty little thing, trying to harm our buchou. You shall be punished," Akeno said with a smile. She then moved her hands high above her and electricity sparkled in between her hands before she brought her hands down unleashing a bolt of thunder on Viser.
"Akeno is my queen. The unbeatable vice-president who possess all the attributes of the other pieces. She is also the…-" and Akeno giggled while sending another bolt of thunder at Viser- "ultimate sadist."
"I see…" Issei said. "All of Rias's pieces are pretty good. However, I can already some problems."
"Akeno, that's enough," Rias commanded.
"Aw, I was just having fun though…" Akeno said and she giggled while blushing red.
Rias walked up to Viser and asked, "Any last words?"
"Kill me…" Viser said weakly.
"I see. In that case, disappear. Checkmate," Rias said. A huge red magical circle appeared before Rias and it sent a bolt or red and black energy at Viser. Viser gave one last scream of pain before all was silent. Where Viser was there was no more of her, not a trace of her was left.
Issei clapped enthusiastically and said, "Well done. I am honestly impressed."
" Thank you, and Issei," Rias said.
"Yes?"
"I need you to do a favor for me. We have gotten another request and I was hoping if you can go to the client tomorrow night. Can you go settle things there?"
"Yes, buchou," Issei said and he bowed.
Rias smiled before saying, "Thank you."
Next day at night…
Issei opened the door to the house where the client was.
"Hello?" Issei said.
There was no answer. Issei then felt his back hair go up and he tensed up before cautiously walking through the house. When he went to the living room he smelled and saw blood. He then saw a man sitting on the couch.
"So, this was your doing?" Issei asked.
The man rose from the couch and laughed. He then faced Issei and bowed.
"Yes, this was my doing. I am Freed Sellzen."
"Nice to meet you. I'm Hyoudou Issei," Issei said and he bowed. "And I assume you are an exorcist?"
Freed laughed maniacally, "Well well, if you weren't a devil, I would be your friend! How very polite of you!" I'm a junior exorcist teaming with a certain devil-purging organization! You are very observant!"
Freed then stopped laughing but he grinned before saying, "It makes me want to kill you."
"And why exactly did you kill that man?" Issei asked.
"The fact that he turned to you devils shows that he had enough of being a human, that's why I killed him!" Freed yelled.
Freed then took out two weapons. One was a golden handle before a blade of light appeared on it and a gun.
"I'll kill you!" Freed declared and he slashed at Issei. Issei dove to the side but then grunted in pain as he felt pain go through his knee. Issei fell and looked to see Freed aiming the gun at him.
"Exorcist blessed devil killing rounds. How do you like it?" Freed asked with a sadistic grin.
Issei stood up and winced in pain. Suddenly, a scream rang and Issei and Freed turned to see Asia standing there with her hand to her mouth.
"Oh, Asia-chan, my assistant. Sorry that you had to see this!" Freed said and he laughed.
"What, what is going on here?" Asia asked horrified.
"I killed him. He was part of the devils, so I had to kill him," Freed answered while smiling.
"Even if he was a devil, not even the Lord would accept this!" Asia cried, horrified.
"Asia, look away. This is not something you should see!" Issei yelled.
"Huh? Issei?" Asia said in shock noticing Issei.
Freed looked at both of them and said, "Huh? You two know each other?"
"Issei, what are you doing here?" Asia asked.
Issei looked at the ground in shame and said, "I'm sorry Asia. I'm actually a devil… please I wasn't trying to deceive you."
Asia gasped. Freed laughed and then raised his sword.
"Are you ready? Have you said your prayers yet? Die!" and Freed sliced downward.
A red magic circle appeared and Kiba jumped out of it and blocked Freed's sword.
"Huh? More shitty devils?!" Freed yelled.
Akeno and Rias also stepped out of the circle.
"Do not harm my kouhai again," Rias said.
"Oh, well this isn't good. Me against three other shitty devils. Well, if that's the case, get out of here!" Freed yelled.
"We will," Kiba said and he stepped back into the circle.
Akeno was also about to help Issei but Issei stood up.
"Wait," was all Issei said and he sped towards Freed before delivering a punch. The punch sent Freed flying out of the house and into the street. Issei smiled before stepping back into to the magic circle.
He looked at Asia before saying, "I'm sorry Asia, I can't bring you with me because you're not a devil. Don't worry though, I will save you."
Asia looked like she was about to cry but she nodded before running out of the house to help Freed.
"I'm sorry…" Issei whispered before he disappeared along with Rias and her group.
There! That is the second chapter of Lost Inheritance and Jesus Christ, these chapters are so short! But don't worry they will get longer! For those of you wondering why I didn't make Issei kill Freed even though Issei seems stronger than him is because first of all (spoiler), Freed dies by someone else in the light novels and I wish to keep that part and the second reason will be explained in the next chapter. Also, I decided not to expose Issei's past yet because I felt like that could be saved for a later chapter when this story goes more in depth. Please review and if you have any more questions, state them in the reviews and I will answer them as best as I can. Have a good day everyone!
