Hey everyone! Here's another chapter for all of you! But before I begin writing, I just want to say thank you to everyone. SO many views with just one chapter! Okay, now on to the chapter! Also, you guys know how things are spoken and what not, so I don't want to give an example every chapter until new characters introduce themselves.
"Dona, tha seo a 'faireachdainn." She said as she started putting on her uniform. Akeno silently sitting on her bed with an amused grin.
"You speak such an interesting language Miss Rose. And I think red is almost as good on you as blue is." Akeno said biting her lower lip slightly.
This comment made Rose blush a red almost the same shade as the flower that she named for. Rose stood up after putting on her shorts underneath her skirt and turned to Akeno with a glare.
"Shouldn't you have left already?" She asked, crossing her arms obviously annoyed that the girl was still in her apartment.
"fu fu fu. Did not want to walk with the girl whom you slept with last night?" Akeno said, covering her mouth with a smile.
"Not really, especially since I don't even know how I got home last night." Rose replied grabbing her bags and walking for the door.
The two girls then left Rose's apartment and began walking to the school, silence and a deadly aura around them as they walked.
SchoolAs the two got to school, they saw that Issei was walking with Rias, who had a smug grin on her face while looked quite flustered. Rose sighed and walked up to her friend after Rias and Akeno left to go to the school. Rose walked up to the young boy and sighed.
"I take it you had an interesting morning as well?" She asked the boy who slowly nodded.
"I can barely remember anything after you gave me that sketch, when I woke up this morning Rias was in my bed naked. Completely freaked me out." He said, dropping his head and Rose put a hand on his shoulder.
"I feel you there Issei." She said solemly.
After their conversation, the two of them walked into school, getting odd glances every now and then. Noticing this, Rose looked over to Issei.
"Is it just me, or is everyone giving us death stares." She whispered to him.
"No, I think they are indeed doing that." Issei gave a shudder as the two walked into class and took their respective seats.
Around them students began whispering thing like,
"I didn't know she swung that way."
"How come they get to walk to school with two of the most beautiful women on campus."
"There's no way she see's something in that guy, he's a nobody right?"
Rose lowered her head and bit her lip to keep from going off on the students. One does not simply insult a Scottish girls honor and her friends as well, but she didn't need a suspension this early in the school year. So, with a sigh, she let the comments go and ignored them.
As the day went on, Rose couldn't get yesterday off her mind. More importantly, she couldn't get the sight of Issei's dead body off her mind. She didn't know how, but she fought against that woman who killed him, destroying her Light Spear with her gauntlet.
"That was you, wasn't it Alseus?" She asked the dragon whose soul inhabited her body.
{"No, the power that destroyed the spear of light was your own power. You awakened my scared gear and did it with your own power."}Alseus replied to her, her normally sleepy talk was replaced with the sound of her being completely awake.
"Okay… But how did I do it?" She asked
{ "I do not know host, perhaps it was seeing the dead body of your friend that triggered it."} The dragon replied and Rose sighed.
As soon as the bell for lunch rang, Rose immediately went to her spot under the tree and sat down. She didn't feel like drawing right now, so she just got out her phone and put it on random. Closing her eyes as she heard the intro to one of her favorite songs, Cry Thunder.
As she sat there with her eyes closed silently tapping her fingers on the ground to the beat of the music, she began thinking. Thinking of how none of this would have happened if she didn't ask Issei to go to the park with her yesterday. Thinking of what she could've done to save her friend from being speared with a spear of light. Thinking of how she didn't remember anything after she had grabbed that woman's throat with her hand. While she thought on those things, two figures were watching her from the second floor of the school with interest.
"Think she's going to take it well Rias?" Akeno asked Rias as they watched the girl.
"I can only hope Akeno, perhaps Iseei will, but her… I'm not so sure." Rias said with a bit of sadness in her voice.
"Well, she is your newest Queen, and her body seems to have taken the new piece well." Akeno said with a blank expression and then smiled. "And it would've been a huge waste to let that body go to waste." Akeno said and Rias shuddered.
"Do I even want to know if you tried anything on her." Rias asked and Akeno shook her head.
"Nope, although there is something you should know." Akeno said and Rias looked at her Queen with a questioning look. "She has two bite marks on her neck, they appeared to be recent. So, that can mean two things. One, she is really into biting, or…" Akeno said and Rias cut her off.
"Or we have a vampire in the city somewhere." She said, looking out over the courtyard at Rose who was now getting up and putting her phone up to go back to class. "Have Kiba escort those two to the Clubroom after school." Rias said and Akeno nodded.
After class had ended for the day, Rose was getting her stuff together when she heard some of the girls in the class start swooning over someone. She then felt a finger tap her shoulder and she turned around, in front of the girl was none other than the Prince of Kuoh himself. When she turned around he smiled at her.
"Rias sent me to get you and Iseei." He said and then looked at Issei. "She wants you both in the club room, so follow me." He said and began to walk out of the room with Rose and Issei following him. Both getting glares from the other students as they did so.
Club RoomWhen the three of them arrived at the Occult Research Clubroom Kiba walked in and announced that they had arrived and then went and stood beside one of the couches in the room. Rose and Issei looked around when they got inside, surprised by how large the room was.
"It's a lot bigger on the inside." Issei said and Rose nodded in agreement.
It wasn't until the sound of a door opening that they saw Akeno walking out in nothing but a bath towel while fixing her hair. Rose immediately glared at the girl who when she saw the two winked at her. After Akeno had went and sat down, Rias walked out of the same room wearing her Kuoh uniform. At least she was in something decent unlike Akeno who was still in a bath towel.
"Allow me to welcome the both of you to the ORC's clubroom." Rias said taking a seat beside Akeno. "Please, have a seat." She said motioning to the other the couch that was in front of the one she currently sat on.
The two of them then sat down, Issei being less relaxed than Rose was as she had leaned back and crossed her legs. She kept her glare at Akeno going as she did so.
"Now, as to the reason I called you two here. How much do you remember from last night?" Rias asked and Issei shook his head.
"Not much after Rose gave me a sketch she made." He replied.
"I see… What about you Rose?" Rias asked, turning her head to Rose.
"Same for me, everything is just black after that." She lied and Rias nodded.
"I see, then allow me to fill in the blanks." She said leaning forward a bit. "You both were killed last night by a Fallen Angel, but I resurrected you as devils to become my servants in return for saving you." She said and Issei looked shocked by this while Rose made no change in her relaxed expression.
"W-Wait, you're joking right? No way that actually happened." Issei said in disbelief and standing up.
"I'm afraid that it did happen Issei, and if you don't believe me, I have proof to show you that we are in fact devils." Rias said in response to Issei's disbelief as she stood up and her bat-like devil wings sprouted out of her back.
With Rias sprouting her wings, the others in the room did so as well much to Issei's disbelief. Akeno was smiling at his discomfort while the others had blank expressions on their faces and Issei fell back onto the couch, his head dropping. Rose didn't seem as disturbed by the appearance of the wings as Issei did, but she wasn't really paying attention that much anyway.
"Now do you believe me?" Rias asked and Issei slowly nodded his head. "Good, now devils usually don't reincarnate people unless they believe that person to have a very strong power within them. Now while both of have something called a Sacred Gear, I believe that only one of you have activated theirs." She looked at Rose for that last part and Rose looked back at her.
"Huh?" She said looking at Rias who sighed.
"You weren't paying attention, were you." Rias said and Rose shrugged.
"I heard something about being a devil, getting killed by a Fallen Angel, and something called a Sacred Gear. What I want to know is how you reincarnated us." Rose said as she looked at Rias.
"Well it's simple, I used something called an evil piece to do it. Evil Piece's resemble a chess piece that have devil powers in them and each piece is unique." Rias said, her wings retracting and she sat down.
"Okay… what pieces did you use for us." Issei spoke up.
"For you Issei, I use a pawn, and for Rose, a Queen." She said blatantly and Issei stared at her.
"I'm a pawn?" He said in question.
"Yes, while pawns might be the weakest, they can promote themselves with their King's permission. And an evil piece, as the devil gets stronger, will change to what suits them the most." Rias said
"It's basically a game of chess right?" Rose said and Rias nodded.
"Okay, while that's interesting and all, what do you mean by we each have a Sacred Gear?" Rose asked and Issei nodded at her question.
"Sacred Gears are something that are very powerful and useful. They take many forms and the most powerful of them being the thirteen Longinus." Rias said sitting back. "We will see if each of you can summon your Gears first before deciding what they are. Rose, since I believe you have already awakened yours, please go ahead and summon it." Rias said and Rose sighed standing up and holding her right hand to where it was level with her body.
As Rose did this, a red gem appeared in hand and the blue gauntlet began to form around it until it was completely formed and she showed it to Rias, who looked a bit shocked. Rias then stood up and began to inspect the gauntlet around Rose's arm and elbow.
"This is interesting. Do you happen to know the name of your Sacred Gear?" Rias asked her and Rose nodded.
"It's called Tormentation of the Soul." Rose said and Rias looked at her funny.
"I've never heard of it before." She said stepping back.
"That's because I'm its first user, or so she says." Rose said with a shrug, the gauntlet disappearing while the gem remained.
"She?" Rias and Akeno asked at the same time.
{ Yes, she.} Alseus' vice spoke from the gem.
"Everyone, meet Alseus. Alseus, meet everyone." Rose said and Rias looked at Akeno.
"Okay, now Issei, try summong yours. You should try and imagine the most powerful object you can. It'll help you summon it." Rias said and Issei stood up.
After a few attempts, Issei was becoming quite aggravated that he couldn't summon his Sacred Gear. He then took a deep breath and held his left hand out and began to concentrate once more. This time a bright red light began to form around his hand as a red gauntlet with a green gem in the middle of it. Issei looked at his hand and smiled.
"I did it!" He exclaimed and Rias and Rose smiled.
"Very good Issei, it seems you have a Twice Critical Sacred Gear." Rias said and Issei looked at her confused. "It's a Gear that Doubles your power for a certain amount of time." She said.
"Oh. Cool!" He said with a goofy smile.
"Well, now that that's out of the way. We have a job to do and I'd like you both to come along. We'll be hunting a stray devil and I'll explain what each piece does apart from the pawn, which I just explained." Rias said.
Issei and Rose looked at each other and shrugged, they then nodded to Rias. Rias then smiled and told Akeno to go change out of her bath towel. The girl passed Rose as she did so and smiled at her, Rose then glared at her in return. After Akeno came back in a shrine maidens outfit they all stepped onto a magic seal that would teleport them near the location of the stray devil, Akeno looked at Rias.
Stray Hunt
"I'm sensing another presence other than the stray" She said and Rias sighed.
Okay, I'll send Kiba to deal with the other presence. It's probably that vampire." She said and then turned to Kiba and Rose. "I've got a side project for the two of you. There appears to another presence here other than the stray, I want you two to go and dispose of it." The two nodded and went off in the direction Rias told them the presence was. The rest of the peerage then walked into an abandoned building, a putrid smell in the air making Issei cover his nose.
Back with KIba and Rose, the duo walked until they were in a small clearing in the forest near where the other presence was. Looking around they saw nothing but felt as though they were being watch. Standing back to back Kiba got out his sword while Rose's gauntlet formed on her arm.
"I don't like this." Rose said, looking into the forest.
"Me neither, but it seems you are taking to your devil abilities pretty well." Kiba said, both hands on his sword.
"Not like I have much of a choice now is it?" She retorted and Kiba scoffed.
A sudden sound caused the two to cease their chatter. Looking into the trees, Rose saw a pair of red eyes looking at them. She squinted and made the rough outline of a bat. She thought nothing of it at first as they were in a forest at night, but why was it just watching them instead of flying away or out hunting. That was when she realized that it was hunting, hunting them to be precise.
"Hey Kiba, I think that bat is watching us." She said and Kiba looked at her.
"What do you mean?" He asked and she pointed towards the bat.
"Vampire." He said with a low tone. "Come on, we need to go. We aren't strong enough to take on a vampire by ourselves." Kiba said slowly backing out of the clearing with Rose behind him.
It was as they were walking away that Rose's bite mark flared with pain and she grabbed at her neck with her left hand, wincing in pain as she fell to a knee.
"You okay?" He asked and she nodded.
"Y-Yeah, just got a sudden pain in my neck." She said holding onto her neck as she stood up.
"Okay, if it isn't hurting anymore, we need to go. We don't want to be attacked by that vampire without the rest of the group." KIba said, a bit of worry in his voice.
"Something wrong Kiba?" She asked him and he nodded as they began to walk again.
"Yeah, I think that it's still following us. We need to pick up the pace." He said and started to jog with Rose behind him.
After jogging for a bit the two started to see the abandoned building with screams coming from inside it as what looked like electricity was seen through one of the windows. As they got closer to the building, Rose's bite mark flared up again and she grabbed at it again, slowing to a walk as it did. KIba turned around but she motioned for him to go on into the building, giving him a thumbs up. With an uncertain expression he went on towards the building and Rose looked back the way they had came, those reed eyes still there. With a sigh she turned around and held her gauntlet up in a fighting pose as her bite flared again.
"I see you little bitch." A distorted voice spoke and Rose's eyes went wide.
"You." She said as the vampire that bit her came into view, his bald head shining a bit in the moonlight.
"Me." He said with a smile, showing off his fangs.
In a flash he vanished and appeared in front of her, his right hand grabbing her right wrist and holding it away from her as his other hand grabbed her left hand and put it behind her. With a grin he used his fangs to move her scarf to show his own bite marks and chuckled. He then opened his mouth and bit down on her once more, Rose not being able to say anything at the pain of it. As the vampire began to drink her blood Rose felt herself beginning to weaken as she felt to her knees. After a good minute the sounds coming from inside the building stopped, not that the vampire notice since he was too busy enjoying his meal.
"What do you think you're doing to my servant?" Rias asked as she stepped out of the building, obviously enraged. At the sound of her voice, the vampire removed his fangs and let Rose fall to the ground.
"I was enjoying my meal that had I had claimed before you claimed her as a servant devil." He said standing up with a bloody grin.
"You are still trespassing on my territory and you attacked one of my servants, don't think you will get away unscathed." Rias said, her hair flowing in the wind that seemingly came out of nowhere.
"I'd like to see you try devil bitch. How about I drink your blood like I did your servants and add your power to my own." He said, getting ready to attack.
It was then that the rest of Rias' peerage came out of the building, everyone gasping at the sight of Rose on the ground and the vampire with her blood on his mouth. Issei clinched his fists and was about to make a move when Kiba stopped him and shook his head. KIba then nodded to where Rose lay and the gem on her hand was glowing and she began to move.
Even though the vampire thought he had completely drained her of her blood, he hadn't. And that was his mistake as Rose silently got to her feet behind the vampire, her eyes once again red.
"I don't think that will be happening, seeing as you are already in checkmate." She said with a grin.
"Huh?" The vampire said with a confused look.
The vampire the felt murderous intent behind him and turned around to see a very pissed off Rose with red eyes. The vampire made an attempt to move but couldn't act quick enough as he was then stabbed in the chest by Rose's gauntlet clad hand and arm, her hand coming out his back and the vampire coughed up blood.
"B-But how!? I drank all of your blood, I was sure of it!" He said, attempting to free himself from her arm.
Absorb her gauntlet spoke and the vampire jerked, his head then looking at the girl. Absorb it spoke again and the vampire cough up more blood and her gripped her arm.
"You little bitch! What are you doing to me?!" He yelled as her gauntlet rang out again Absorb"I'm taking back what you took from me, and more so." She said as her gauntlet repeated its words and the vampire jerked again, feeling his strength, blood, and even part of his soul being sucked into the gauntlet.
Her gauntlet rang out one more time and the vampires body went limp on her arm before it began to turn to ash. Rose then slung her hand and the excess blood came off it and she looked to Rias and everyone else before her eyes went back to normal and she began to collapse. Only stopping when Issei caught her, who then looked at Rias.
"What just happened?" He asked and Rias shook her head.
"I don't know, but let's get her back to the clubroom." Rias said activating a teleportation circle.
Club Room (again)Issei had laid Rose down on one the couches in the room while everyone else had gone to a small table on the other side of the room, Akeno was giving tea to everyone and Issei stood next to the table.
"So, any clue as to what the actual hell just happened?" Issei asked and everyone shook their heads.
"It may have something to do with her Sacred Gear. She said that she was its first user, so it may have powers that even the dragon inside doesn't know of." Rias said.
"But that doesn't explain how she killed that vampire so easily." KIba said and then took a drink of his tea.
"I agree, but it seems as though we will just have to wait until the girl wakes up and ask her or her Gear ourselves." Akeno said and everyone nodded in agreement.
With that everyone but Rias left to go to their homes, as she had a bedroom in another room of the clubroom. Unbeknownst to everyone though, Rose wasn't actually asleep, she was having a mental conversation with Alseus in the dreamscape.
"What happened to me Alseus?" Rose asked as she floated in the dreamscape, the dragon next to her.
{You nearly died again. If not for my power, then you would have.} Alseus said, her head moving close to Rose.
"I see. How did save me then?" Rose asked, turning towards the dragon.
{ I used the bond that holds our souls together to give some of my power in order to keep you alive. But in doing so, I made our souls closer so there is bound to be some repercussions. Along with that, you absorbed that vampire.} Alseus said.
"What do you mean I absorbed him?" She asked, confused.
{ As you know, I don't fully know the limits and powers of my Sacred Gear. But it seems that the more you use it, the more I come to understand. So far it seems like we have three abilities.} She said and Rose looked her in the eyes.
"Okay, we know one of those is the absorb power, but how did that happen to the vampire?" Rose asked.
{ I was getting to that. The absorb power lets you absorb power, magic, or weapons that you have contact with. It seems that if you use it on a being to many times, you completely absorb thier essence along with their power. Example, you absorbed part of that vampires soul before he died, thus it was added to your own soul.} The dragon spoke and Rose looked at her right hand.
"So, you mean I'm now half of one of those. Meaning I'll be out for blood just like them." Rose said clenching her hand.
{ Not quite. I never said that you were now half vampire. In fact you're only a quarter vampire, and don't worry about the bloodlusting, my powers will suppress that for the most part. You will need to feed on blood every now and then however.} Alseus said and Rose sighed in relief.
"That's good. Wait what do you mean only a quarter vampire? Shouldn't I be a half-blood since I took part of his soul?" She asked and the dragon shook her head.
{ No, it seems you weren't fully human to begin with. I can sense another part of your soul that has been dormant for your whole life. Only when you became a devil, did that side awaken. What it is though, I cannot say. It will most likely manifest itself sometime soon, until then, I will keep an eye on it to see what it is.} She spoke and looked towards the sky. {It seems as though your body has healed and you are beginning to wake up. Be warned, I will do my best to keep the vampire part suppressed, but you will have the urge to feed soon along with a very discomforting feeling, I will also explain more about your powers when we meet again. Till next time, Rose.} And with that the dreamscape faded and Rose's eyes flung open.
Rose slowly sat up, the blanket that had been placed on her falling down. Looking around, she saw that she was back in the clubroom and was on one of the couches. Still partly asleep, she got up and went to the bathroom that she had seen Akeno and Rias come out of earlier. Walking into the bathroom she looked into the mirror and noticed three things. First, she noticed that the bite marks on her neck were gone. Second, her skin was a bit lighter than it used to be. And Third, she was naked. Seeing herself in the mirror with no clothes completely woke her up and she looked around for something to cover herself with in a hurry. Finding a bath towel, she wrapped it around her figure before she walked out.
"Dè fo shealbh! Càite a tha mo aodach!?" She yelled, pissed, as she walked back into the clubroom, which now had Rias and Akeno in it. Rose then glared at the two.
"See, I told you she spoke an interesting language." Akeno said with a giggle.
"It is indeed interesting, but I think the girl is looking for her clothes Akeno." Rias said, taking a sip of tea.
"Fu fu fu, I think she looks great with what she has on now." Akeno said covering her mouth with her hand.
"I am going to kill you." Rose said, her devilish aura surrounding her.
"I'd like to see you try." Akeno said standing up, an aura of lightning surrounding her.
As the two auras began to clash the other members of the club walked in and they stared at the two girls. The males were currently trying not to look at the towel covered Rose. Rias then cleared her throat and the two calmed down.
"You're clothes are over their Rose, we had them washed and cleaned while you were asleep." Rias said, pointing to where Rose's clothes hung.
"How long was I out?" She asked as she started gathering her clothes.
"About a day, class has already ended today so you'll have to catch up tomorrow." Rias said.
"That long? Uill, clach." She said and started walking back towards the bathroom. "Nobody better peep on me!" She said going inside to get dressed, closing the door.
"You certainly picked an interesting one Rias." Akeno said, sitting back down.
"Indeed, now. Time for everyone to start their contracts for the evening, seeing as it's now going to be the weekend." Rias said and everyone nodded, waiting for their contracts to summon them.
"Issei, seeing as how Koneko isn't here, you'll be taking over her contract for the evening. Hope that is alright." Rias said, looking at Issei.
"Sure, I don't mind President." He said with a smile.
"Oh, and Rose, we're going to start training you on magic whenever you get finished getting dressed." Rias said. Rose made a response but no one heard it.
"Okay everyone, go finished your contracts." Rias said and everyone left on their contracts.
After everyone had left, Rose walked out of the bath room in her Kuoh uniform with her scarf around her neck loosely. She then walked over and sat down on the couch across from Rias. She was obviously flustered over something, but Rias didn't want to pester the poor girl.
"How are you feeling Rose?" Rias asked, pouring the girl a cup of tea.
"I've been better." She said taking a drink of the tea.
"Well, if anything is bothering you or anything like that, you can talk to me. I am your King after all." Rias said looking at the girl.
"I'm fine, Rias. Alseus is currently helping me with some things. I'm surprised that such a strong Sacred Gear has only just been used." Rose replied.
"If you don't mind me asking, what is Alseus helping you with?" Rias asked, crossing her legs.
"It has to do with what happened to that vampire last night. Apparently, I absorbed part of his soul with taking his power. And the result is this." She said and opened her mouth, a pair of small fangs could be seen on her upper jaw.
"That…. Is very interesting." Rias said, looking at the fangs.
"Yeah, tell me about it." She said closing her mouth.
"Will you need to feed?" Rias asked and Rose shook her head.
"Not at the moment, Alseus is keeping that part contained as my body gets used to this transformation. Though I will need to at some time sadly." Rose said, looking down. "She also said that I was only a quarter vampire after taking its soul. She said that I was half of something else that only just awakened when I became a devil."
Rias only stared at the girl as she calmly resumed drinking her tea.
"You're taking this quite well." Rias said.
"I've gone through worse. My parents were killed by a drunk driver on the night of my fourth birthday. They were coming home after getting my cake and he ran a red light. They were killed by the collision." She said, setting her tea down, sorrow filling her eyes.
"I'm sorry to hear that Rose. I didn't know that." Rias said, her voice filled with sadness.
"It's fine. I can't even remember their names or faces anymore, so it feels like they were someone else." Rose stood up. "Now, if you'll excuse me. I'm going to go and see if Issei needs some help with his contract." She said getting up and leaving the room.
"Hmm, this one is definitely interesting. But I feel as though she is hiding something." Rias said and then looked at the clock. "Kiba should be done with his contract soon."
With Issei (Batman transition music!)Issei was walking back after finishing his contract with that crazy body-builder chick who sounded like a dude. He shuddered at the memory of it.
"Why did I have to get the weird one." He complained as he walked back to his house in the night.
"Well, it looks like Raynare didn't finish the job." A female voice spoke up and Issei looked up to see another Fallen Angel.
"And who might you be?" He asked the woman.
"My name is Kalawarner, and I'll be finishing the job that Raynare started." She said, making a light spear and throwing it at Issei who then dodged it. "Stand still brat so I can kill you!" She yelled, making another light spear.
"I'd rather not!" He replied, dodging another light spear.
"It'd be much easier than resisting!" Kalawarner yelled at him.
"Don't care!" He said, trying to summon his Sacred Gear.
"Little brat!" She yelled throwing another spear at him.
As she threw the spear, Issei's Sacred Gear activated and he punched the spear, breaking it.
"Sacred Gear!? You shouldn't be able to do that!" She said making another spear.
Release Spear of Light a voice spoke and Kalawarner's hand that held the spear was pierced by another and she cried out in pain. Issei then looked from where the spear was thrown from and saw Rose with her gauntlet hand extended.
"You're still alive too?! Forget this!" She exclaimed and flew away.
"Thankfully that's over with." Issei said, his Gear disappearing. Rose then walked up to him.
"Glad I found you in time." She said with a smile and Issei smiled back at her.
"Yeah, I owe you one Rose." Issei said and she blushed lightly.
"Hey Issei? Can I stay over at your place tonight? My apartment is on the other side of the city." She asked, putting her hands together in front of her.
"H-Huh, oh, s-sure." He replied, putting hand on the back of his head and smiled with a light blush. "Couldn't leave you to walk the streets at night alone, now could I?"
With that the two of them began walking towards the Hyuodo residence, silence in the air between them.
Issei's HouseAs the two of them arrived at Issei's house they walked in quietly as to not wake up his parents. As the made their way to Issei's bedroom he slowly opened the door and set his stuff down.
"You can take the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." He said, getting some clothes to change into.
"I don't want to take your bed from you. Besides I don't mind sleeping on the floor." She said and he shook his head at her.
"Not a chance, I'm a gentleman." He said and Rose looked at him.
"Well, how about we share the bed then as compromise?" She said blushing. "I wouldn't mind it."
"W-Well I do mind." He said blushing in return.
"But you slept with Rias, wouldn't it be the same as sleeping with me?" She asked him and he sighed.
"You make a fair point, do you have any clothes to change into?" He asked her and she shook her head. "I'll let you borrow some of mine then." He said getting the largest shirt and a pair of shorts and handed them to her. "I'll step out do you can change."
With that, Issei left the room and went to the bathroom that was on that floor to change himself. Rose sighed and began to take off her school uniform and her bra before sliding on the clothes Issei let her borrow. She then put the clothes she changed out of underneath her bags and got onto the bed, laying down on the right side. After a few minutes she began to drift to sleep and Issei came back in the room, changed into his sleepware. With a heavy sigh he go into the bed on the opposite side of Rose. After a few minutes he also began to fall asleep, Rose then shifted in her sleep and draped one of arms over Issei's waist and nuzzled her head onto his back. Looking back at the sleeping form of Rose he blushed and looked away.
"When did she get this cute?" He mentally asked himself before going to sleep.
Next MorningIssei was the first to wake up and saw that Rose's arm was still draped over his waist and her head still on his back. Trying not to wake her, he got up and went downstairs to get some breakfast. After Issei had been gone for a few minutes, Rose slowly began to wake up. She sat up and yawned and looked around before she blushed, realizing where she was. Then the smell of eggs frying hit her and she got up and slowly made her way down to the kitchen where she found Issei making breakfast.
"Morning sleepyhead." He said jokingly and Rose sat down at the table, her hair falling over her shoulders.
"Morning to you too." She said and then yawned.
"You like eggs?" He asked and she nodded. "That's good, it's one of the few things I can actually cook without burning it." He said.
After breakfast was made and consumed the two then began having a friendly conversation before Rose stopped.
"Where are your parents?" She asked, looking around.
"Oh, they had to work early so they aren't here right now." He replied.
"Oh." She said.
The two then continued their conversation till noon when Rose said she had to go and pick up some art supplies.
"I can go with you if want." Issei said.
"Sure, I don't mind." She said, going back to his room to change back into her clothes. She then came back down and looked at Issei. "I'm going to head back to my place, I need to bathe and change clothes, I'll see you around 2 okay?" She said and Issei nodded. Rose then left the house to go to her apartment.
And that'll do it for this chapter everyone! Now if you're wondering why I decided to upload a second chapter so soon and it being so long is because I felt as though the first chapter was a bit lackluster so I wanted to make up for it.
