After Seekvaira and Issei confessed their love for one another, they spent the rest of the night in his office in a loving embrace. With Seekvaira laying on top of Issei wrapping her arms around his waist while she laid her head on his chest, and Issei laying with one hand on her waist, while the other was playing with her hair. This was something they used to do when Seekvaira was afraid of something, but this time it was different. She wasn't afraid of anything as long as Issei was around.

During the time they laid there, both of them made a silent agreement to never leave each other again while they lay there in the calm quietness, well except for the two girls who were having their fun.

"Hey let's go somewhere." Issei suggested breaking the silence between them. Seekvaira in return looked up at Issei with a look of wonder.

"Where to?" Seekvaira asked. She had an idea of the place he wanted to go, she just wanted to hear it from him.

"To the place where we first met." He responded with a cheeky grin. When he said that her eyes teared up. The place that they were going held a lot of memories for them, both good and bad.

"I'd love to." She said sincerely.

Summoning a magic circle under them, they both vanished in a burst of flames going to the first place they met.

Forest in the Underworld...

The place in question was a forest clearing with a small lake and a waterfall. The water was as blue as Issei's eyes and the scenery was as beautiful as Seekvaira.

Arriving there through the Phenex clan circle to the beautiful scene in front of them. Animals roaming around without a care in the world. The trees were swaying back and forth every time the wind blew.

"This is the exact spot we ran into each other for the first time." Seekvaira said looking in front of her at the beautiful lake.

She remembered the time when they were there, she was sitting on the edge of a small cliff with her feet in the water and Issei was holding onto her knees keeping himself above the water. That thought made her blush just like the day it happened.

"You okay?" Issei asked curiously. Seekvaira had all of a sudden stopped talking and he wondered if something was wrong.

"... I'm fine, was just thinking." Seekvaira responded before turning to Issei and embraced him with her face buried in his chest.

"Whatever it is you were thinking about, will never happen again." He told her as he closed his eyes hugging her with a hand on her back while the other rested upon her the back of her head.

"Promise?" She asked pleadingly.

"I promise." Issei replies with a smile releasing his wings and taking off into the air with Seekvaira holding onto him tightly.

Once they were high above the ground, Seekvaira looks up at Issei, and he at her. They closed the distance between them closing their eyes kissing each other passionately while hovering in the air.

Hours had passed before the two went back to the human world to tell his peerage of his engagement to the heiress of the Agares clan. But before they could do that, Issei got a surprising call from his father.

"What is it Father?" Issei asked in an annoyed voice.

"A father can't check on his son?" Lord Phenex sarcastically said before clearing his throat. "With all jokes aside, I have exhausted everything I have to convince that arrogant brother of yours to change his way, but as we both know, that is not likely happening anytime soon." Lord Phenex said seriously.

"What do you want me to do about it?" Issei responded rudely. "You favored him, Ruval, and Ravel. So you do something about it!" The only person who showed him attention was his mother, Lady Phenex, while his father talked down on him and praised the other three.

"Listen here brat! You'll do as I fucking say, I will not take no for an answer!" Lord Phenex barked.

If it wasn't for Seekvaira in his arms, he would have reduced this beautiful place to ashes. But being around her made the temper that was steadily rising, disappear completely.

"No you listen here and listen good... I'm not someone that you can bend to your whims, nor am I really your son. So if you want something done, then have one of your lap dogs to do it because I'm done with your bullshit!" Issei spoke with venom in his voice ending the call. His father never cared for him, only if it was something he could profit from.

"Nows my turn to ask you, are you okay?" Seekvaira asked with concern in her voice. She knew of the relationship he had with his father wasn't good. Every time they would speak it would always end in disaster.

"Yeah, I'm just fine. There's no reason to be worried." Issei said like nothing ever happened.

"Was it about Riser?" She asked and Issei nodded his head and explained.

"Yeah. Apparently he can't keep his dick in his pants." He replied.

They then vanished from the Underworld reappearing back in his office.

Issei's office...

"How come when he does something disgraceful, you are the first person lord Phenex calls to straighten him out." Seekvaira wondered.

"I've been wondering that exact same thing ever since that perverted moron was..." Issei was about to say before he was cut off.

A red communication circle with the Gremory clan insignia appeared by his ear. The only person from the Gremory clan that he allowed to call him was Rias, and the way she was speaking, it sounded like she was in dire need of help from something... or more accurately someone.

Seekvaira saw his expression change from the smiling happy and calm one he had before he received another yet disturbing call, to a look she never thought she would see on him. Rage was coursing through his veins the more Rias spoke to him, and Seekvaira knew it had something to do with the same person they were just talking about. Just as Rias finished speaking, the comm. circle disappeared leaving a furious Issei.

"Issei?" Seekvaira said placing her hand on his shoulder. Issei tilts his head looking at her, as his body starts overheating. As his body got hotter, she had to retract her hand, hissing in slight pain.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt." Issei apologizes. Now he was feeling a bit of regret for having caused her any harm.

"It's quite alright. But seriously, you need to leave your family alone if they piss you off that badly." Seekvaira said nursing her injured hand.

"If only that was possible." Issei told her.

As this was going on a orange flame burst from the floor. Out of the flames lady Phenex appeared with a smile on her face. She seemed to be happy for some reason.

"Mother?"

"Lady Phenex?"

Both of them were confused as to why his mother would make an appearance. They didn't know that the reason she was there, would benefit both households.

"Hello, I'm glad that both of you are here, there's something I wish to say to both of you." She stated.

"What is it?" Issei asked impatiently.

"It's about your engagement." Lady Phenex said seriously. "The higher ups want you two to be married by the end of the month." She said surprising both of them.

"Seriously!" Issei exclaimed.

"As a heart attack." She said "I've tried to get them to wait, but they keep on insisting that there be a wedding, whether it be your brother or you."

That was true his brother was also supposed to be married to the heiress of the Gremory household, while he was to be wed to the heiress of the Agares household. As bad as he wanted to marry Seekvaira, he wanted to do it on his terms, not there's.

"Alright fine, I'll do it." He calmly said looking at his mother. "But as long as she agrees to it. If not, then they'll have to fucking wait." He told her with a serious face. Issei looked over at Seekvaira and saw the shocked expression she had on her face.

The whole interaction between mother and son was shocking to say the least. Lady Phenex had arrived with information that nobody knew, and now she was saying that the higher ups were rushing them to do something they wasn't ready for, nor did they have a clue about what they were supposed to do.

When her eyes met Issei's, the two made up their minds. If a wedding is what they want, then a wedding they shall have.

"Fine by me. But why wait a month, why not get married now and be done with it."

It was now Issei's turn to be shocked. He knew she was smart and all that, but with what just came from her mouth surprised him.

"You sure about this?" Issei asked.

"I'm positive." She replied with a straight face.

"I'll inform them of your response." Lady Phenex said standing up from her seat. "It was nice to see you again Seekvaira." And with that she was gone leaving the two to themselves.

Scene Break...

After the meeting with his mother was over Issei found himself in sitting in the clubhouse of his supposed to be sisters-in-law having a cup of tea. The room was silent, no one had said a word in the past ten minutes. Both of them were just looking at each other with distant expressions.

Rias' was because of her being shipped off to a arrogant asshole like Riser, instead of Issei. He was kind, caring, thoughtful, and he wasn't anything like his brother. Issei on the other hand, the reason why he had a distant look on his face was because of the simple fact that the higher ups were pushing up the date to a sooner time.

"Soo..." Rias said breaking the silence. "We're in the same predicament, I guess."

"You can say that." Issei replies absent minded. He was still currently in deep thought about the situation he's in. He wanted to marry the love of his life, but not till they were ready for it.

"Why the long faces?" A female voice said from the doorway.

"It's a long story. One for another time." Issei said. "Could you summon the rest of the peerage, we have some business to discuss." He ordered.

"As you wish, sir." Christie said. She then flared her power to the maximum causing an orange circle to appear on the floor of the club room.

"Good you're all here." Issei stated standing up from his seat.

"What's the emergency sir?" Tina asked curiously.

"Remember that thing we talked about last night?" Issei responded. The girls, minus Samantha, nodded their heads. "Yeah... it's gonna happen sooner than I expected. I'm just waiting to hear back from my mother. So be prepared." He said shocking them.

Just as Christie was about to say something, a magic circle appeared inside the club room revealing a smiling Seekvaira, who skipped over to Issei and hugged his arm. Once she made contact with him, the girls in his peerage wanted to rip her head off because she was touching him.

"Everything's all set, honey." Seekvaira said. "In one weeks time, we'll finally be together like you've always wanted." She finished with a smile and kissed him on the cheek.

Once everything was said and done everyone went there separate ways with Seekvaira coming along with them. The girls in Issei's peerage didn't like that another woman was taking their love interest away from them, not that he was theirs to begin with, in fact it was the other way around. They hadn't even said a word to her, or acknowledge that he was engaged to someone. They knew that he was dating Christie, but not Seekvaira. She was unknown to them and they didn't trust people they didn't have knowledge of.

So until they trusted her, they would keep a close eye on her.
