Chapter 4 The Little Vampire

I don't own DxD; I just use its characters and techniques. All credit goes to its creator. Same applies for anything that I used from other animes.

(Scene Skip)

It's been 3 days since Parents Day arrived and Issei Hyoudou was once again in his hot tub relaxing after another morning training session. 'What are you planning Sirzechs' Issei thought to himself as he thought back to the conversation he had with the Devil King on Parents Day and wondered why Sirzechs asked what he asked.

Flashback

"Do you know why I want to speak with you" Sirzechs said calmly as he stared at a relaxed Issei.

"I imagine you want to know why I went along with Sona and Rias's idea to trade me to Sona." Issei assumed.

"No though admittedly that was a strange decision by the girls. What I want to know is what does the change mean for the relationship between you and my sister?"

"Any relationship we have moving forward will be up to her. The one we had up until now was based on Sona's desire to help Rias with Riser and me going along with it. Our new relationship will be up to Rias herself." Issei replied. Our relationship was superficial to this point and anything that happens would be up to Rias.

"I see" Sirzechs replied with a look of hope in his eyes.

"Is that it" Issei wondered.

"Yes it is." Sirzechs replied as he returned to the party leaving Issei alone.

Flashback end.

Sirzechs was planning something and Issei knew it. The question was what. "We have company partner" Ddraig warned as a magic circle appeared in front of the bath.

"Yes and it's quite the guest" Issei replied since it was the red circle of Rias Gremory. Just as he expected, his former master appeared in front of him dressed in the Kuoh Academy uniform.

"Hello Issei can we talk." Rias said nervously. Issei couldn't blame her since they hadn't spoken since the day he became Sona's new pawn.

"Sure" Issei said calmly staying in the tub.

"I've have a favor to ask you" Rias said calmly. Knowing how Issei was she had to choose her words carefully.

"I'm listening" Issei said calmly.

"I have a servant named Gasper that was sealed in the locked room on the second floor of our building. Because of his volatile powers my brother decided to lock him away."

"I see and what does that have to do with me" Issei replied coldly.

"My brother decided recently to unlock him as a reward for the way I've handled the last few months" Rias said bashfully.

"I'm still not seeing the point." Issei deadpanned. Rias hadn't done anything but ride his coattails and Sirzechs should know better.

"I need you to train him" Rias requested.

"Why should I do it" Issei groaned since something stunk about this whole thing.

Rias frowned since she really didn't want to discuss this but she knew that if Issei was going to help her she had to fess up, "Gasper has the Sacred Gear Forbidden Balor View. At its base he possesses the ability to stop time but his balance breaker is far more fiercesome. Saji started helping him yesterday but they weren't able to make any progress"

"I see" Issei frowned since it explained Sirzech's question the other day. Sirzechs knew that Rias couldn't help him and neither could Saji. He was using Issei to train Rias's pawn for her.

"So will you help me Issei? I know that it's a lot to ask since you're not my servant but I really need this" Rias pleaded.

'What are you going to do partner? At the end of the day the only person who can help her is you' Ddraig said into his mind.

'I know Ddraig. I know!' Issei yelled into his mind. "Sorry Rias, but I'm not going to help you." Issei said reluctantly.

"Why?" Rias replied. She knew it was a lot to ask but she was desperate.

"Because your brother released Gasper because he wants to see what you can do? If I do the job for you, how can you grow as a King?" Issei replied calmly. He hated to turn her down but Rias did need to grow.

"I understand." Rias replied as she left in her magic circle. With his conversation with Rias over Issei was ready to finish his soak and get ready for the day, at least that was his plan.

"I'm surprised you turned her down" Sona Sitri said with a smile as she walked into the room with a towel wrapped around her body.

"How long were you listening Sona" Issei groaned.

"Long enough. You really should help her Issei." Sona replied.

"Is that so?" Issei groaned since it meant that Sona heard their entire conversation.

"Because there's a little detail that Rias left out that changes everything." Sona said with a smirk.

"Oh!" Issei replied with a twitch.

"Next Saturday the Three factions are going to meet and work out an agreement to end the ceasefire between the groups. I found out last night but I couldn't' tell you since you were occupied with Xenovia" Sona smiled knowing that Issei would figure out what that means.

"Is that so" Issei's expression soured realizing what was really going on.

"Yes it is. So you know what you have to do?" Sona smiled knowing her pawn had got the message.

"I'm curious why you're essentially telling me that I have to help the kid even if it makes life tougher for you".

"Because Rias is my friend and I want to help her." Sona replied coyly.

"I see and it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that you feel bad for taking me even after all this time." Issei smirked knowing that it was a half-truth. The reality was that the Peace Conference was a dangerous and reckless game and that Rias's new bishop was a liability. Sirzechs knew that and realized that the only person who could train Gasper was Issei himself.

Sona frowned and instantly dropped her towel before getting into the tub and sitting on top of her lover, "Oh, shut up and fuck me you ass!" Sona pouted.

"As you wish Milady" Issei teased as he began his day just as he had many others recently, having sex with one of his many girls.

(Scene Skip)

Issei finished his shower and quickly got dressed after his session with Sona but he was furious that he had to help Rias. "Hey Issei are you ready to go" Irina said nervously as she knocked on his door. .

"You get going without me Irina. I have some business to handle before class." Issei said sternly.

"Just don't be late" Irina replied.

"Got it" Issei yelled back. With everything set it was time to go meet the newest member of the Gremory peerage.

(Scene Skip)

Arriving by the formerly sealed door, Issei could already feel the dregs of power coming from Rias's newest servant. "Rias wasn't kidding, this kid is strong" Issei frowned not expecting this at all.

"Here we go partner" Ddraig groaned knowing that his partner didn't want to do this but he had to.

"Yep" Issei frowned as he opened the door not wanting to be subtle. Arriving in the room, he noticed that whoever this kid was he had quite the setup. A large TV that he could use to watch anything he wanted. A powerful computer that could serve any purpose he needed and a small microwave. In the middle of the room was a coffin which no doubt held the new bishop.

"Who are you" a voice said from inside the coffin.

"My name is Issei hyoudou and the pawn of Sona Sitri and ex pawn of your master.

"Why are you here and why didn't Rias bring you along before." The voice wondered.

"Probably because Rias only wanted you to meet her peerage. I'm here because Rias thinks I can help you with your powers in a way that the others couldn't" Issei replied.

"How do I know you can help me" Gasper asked timidly.

"Simple. Use your powers on me and see what happens." Issei smiled. A second later he felt everything around him freeze. A second later the coffin opened and Gasper was revealed at last. 'Oh you gotta be kidding me' Issei groaned since Gasper pretty much took any image of vampires and tossed it out the window. He was a short young man, and yes despite him wearing the female outfit he was a man, with platinum blonde hair and a bob cut. His pinkish eyes were the only thing remotely interesting about the kid but otherwise he was a mess.

"So it's true" Gasper gasped since Issei was clearly moving despite time being stopped.

"Tell ya what kid. When lunch comes around I'll come back for a little chat. Right now I need to have a word with your master." Issei frowned.

"Got it" Gasper replied as he undid his powers.

"See ya later kid" Issei groaned since he was going to have a long talk with his former master. Luckily for him, Rias liked to come to the ORC clubroom before class started to get some paperwork done. As a result, when he came into the clubroom Rias was sitting there calmly.

"What are you doing here Issei?" Rias asked nervously figuring that she wouldn't see him again.

"Well I've decided to help you after all?

"I see" Rias replied knowing that Issei wasn't going to help her for free. That simply wasn't his personality.

"You have a bed in the clubroom right?" Issei said coldly knowing Rias would figure out the rest.

"Yes I do" Rias said with a slight blush since she understood what it meant.

"I'm going to help you Rias but until the day of the factions meeting your ass is mine every morning Rias Gremory." Issei said with a savage grin. Oh he was going to help her but it was going to be on his terms.

"Umm okay" Rias blushed heavily as she got up to lead Issei to the spare room. A few minutes later and she was on the bed naked and in the doggystyle position ready for Issei to have his way with her.

"I'm gonna warn you about something before we get started Rias." Issei smirked having discarded his own clothes.

"What's that I-SEEEEEE" Rias yelped as he put 2 fingers into her pussy stirring her insides with ferocious speed he didn't have the time for any intimate foreplay.

"When I said your ass is mine…I meant it literally" Issei said with a devious grin as he moved his 2 fingers to Rias's second hole.

"Issei wait" Rias gasped knowing exactly what it meant but Issei ignored her and plunged straight into her ass with his hardened member. Ten minutes later and Issei left the old school building with a smile on his face knowing that Rias would be walking funny all day.

(Scene Skip)

Lunchtime arrived and Issei returned to the ORC clubroom intend on finishing his conversation with Gasper from earlier. "Yo Gasper are you busy" Issei said from outside his door.

"Not at all, I was waiting to see if you'd actually come. People have let me down before so I wondered if you would be the same" Gasper said timidly.

"Good well I'm coming in" Issei smiled since this was the beginning of a new friendship. As they spoke Issei learned a lot about gasper, about how when he was a baby his own mother was afraid of him and about his friend Valerie who looked after him. Two things were very clear to Issei, first was that Gasper feared his power on a basic level. If he was going to become a proper fighter he had to get over that. The second thing was that Rias's once again handled a situation poorly. You shouldn't accept a servant and then create such an environment for him. You actually make the problem worse. As he walked into the room Gasper was watching anime on TV.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Gasper wondered though he kept his eyes on the television.

"Right now I'm just gonna relax with you until lunch is over. Saji's already begun your training so I'll accompany you to that and see what he's been up to. It's going to take some time to get your powers and I'm not gonna rush" Issei replied as he sat down with the young vampire.

"Okay" Gasper said happily. This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship for the young man.

(Scene Skip)

Issei Saji and Gasper were outside of the old club room ready to begin their training. Issei and Saji were in the male gym uniform while Gasper wore the female one, much to Issei's annoyance. "So you're gonna help us huh Hyoudou?" Saji groaned in annoyance. He already hated Issei since he was in the relationship with Sona but now that his new master was recruiting him drove him nuts.

"That's right Saji so let me see what you guys have been doing" Issei said calmly. Issei watched as Saji tossed rubber balls at Gasper and the vampire tried to stop time. It was actually a decent strategy but Gasper was failing miserably.

"See what I mean." Saji said in disappointment.

"Yes I do." Issei frowned as he turned to Gasper. "Gasper I want you to listen carefully and do exactly what I say" Issei said sternly.

"O-okay" Gasper said nervously.

"I want you to focus as much of your power as you can and release it."

"Huh" Saji and Gasper said at once.

"You heard me" Issei groaned as he prepared a powerful privacy barrier.

"What the" Saji cringed as Issei's power made itself known. The last time he picked a fight with Issei he failed miserably and the difference between their powers was now ingrained into his head.

"Show me your power Gasper. Show me what you can do" Issei said coldly as he looked at Gasper.

"But my power is scary" Gasper said nervously although he endured the force so far.

"And so is mine but you don't see me concerned. CONTROL your power don't let it control you" Issei said coldly getting closer to sixty percent.

Gasper was stunned at how easily Issei was able to wield his power and realized that when he said he wasn't worried about Gasper's power. "Got it" Gasper said as he found a new veil of confidence. Soon Gasper was focusing his own power which was fairly impressive considering his lack of training.

"That's it. Embrace your power." Issei said happily as Gasper slowly began to control the strength. The kid was raw, that much was obvious, but he could be a serious threat if Issei wasn't careful.

"Not that I don't find this speech hilarious but Saji is kinda knocked out." Azazel smirked as he revealed himself at last. Thanks to Azazel revealing himself Gasper lost focus of his power and the moment was lost.

"Thanks for ruining the moment Azazel" Issei deadpanned having forgotten about his fellow pawn. Of course Saji was indeed unconscious.

"No problem. Admittedly I was curious how the Princess would deal with the kid and now I know." Azazel smiled.

Issei looked towards Gasper and noticed that he was breathing heavily. Clearly he hadn't trained in a while. "Well since we have a few minutes before Gasper is ready to train, how about we have some fun" Issei said with a devious smirk.

"What did you have in mind" Azazel smirked.

Issei picked up Saji and smiled, "The swim club shouldn't finish practice for another hour. How about we give them a surprise" Issei said deviously.

"This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship Issei." Azazel smirked.

"We've been friends for a long time already Azazel" Issei retorted as Issei removed the barrier and decided to punish Saji for his pitiful display. It was clear that Gasper had a long way to go, but he could be a real powerhouse if Issei trained him properly.

(Scene Skip)

The night before the conference Issei and Sona were relaxing in bed after yet another night of love making. "So Issei which part of your training with Gasper do you like best. The part where you get to bully Saji or the part where you get to sleep with your old master" Sona teased as he held her in his arms his naked body pressed against hers.

"I can't tell really. There's some beautiful satisfaction in both" Issei retorted as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Considering you only fuck her in the ass I'm surprised you can say that Issei" Irina teased.

"For a church girl you're pretty vulgar" Sona pouted slightly. It was no secret that she wasn't a huge fan of the fact that Issei was fucking Rias in the ass every morning.

"Blame Issei for corrupting me. Even if I didn't learn about God's death I probably would've returned just because of how good he is in bed" Irina shrugged.

"Anyway the conference is tomorrow and it's going to be very interesting." Issei deadpanned.

"And by interesting you mean annoying since the Khaos Brigade is going to attack" Sona deadpanned.

"Yes" Issei replied. It felt like the only person who wasn't aware of the attack was Rias and the fact she hadn't discussed as much with her peerage was embarrassing.

"Well you have a plan and so do the others" Sona smiled.

"True but you know as well as I do that it's never that simple" Issei frowned. This was going to be a long day and Issei knew it. Luckily for him, he was the type who knew how to play the game as well as anybody.

That's it for Chapter 4. Yeah it's still a little dicey but slowly but surely this story is distinguishing itself from the original. Next Chapter is the three factions meeting and it's going to be a doozy.
