~True Crimson Cardinal Dragon~

I'M BACK! Sorry for the major delay of this chappie. There's been a lot of things going on in my life and school started up again. I apologize for any mistakes I make during the course of this fic. Anyways, on with the reviews.

LasbAuthorArtist: Thank you so much! I love your kind of reviews, and I do like the pairing in Tainted Beast. It's quite unique. Hope you enjiy this chappie!

the DragonBard: I am sorry if you don't like how I write. As I am writing this, I'm seeing what you mean. I don't really pay attention to spacing while I'm writing. I apologize once again. Also, this is a harem now, but the fic's gonna focus on Issei and Sona.

Now, ON WITH THE FIC!

What the hell is wrong with the people here? It's only been a day, and already people know about me and Sona. Someone got a photo of us kissing last night?! I'm currently walking to school right now, trying to ignore everything.

FUCK FUCK FUCK. I'm almost at school! I can't deal with all this attention! SHIT! Sona wanted this to be private, too! It's not private anymore! NONONONO.

I'm at school now, and already people are shouting at me. You know, things like, "FUCK YOU!", "HOW?", and other things like that. I suddenly felt a tingly sensation in my head. I ducked, and 2 fists flew over my head, followed by Matsuda and Motohama. Guess they didn't expect me to dodge that. Then they started to yell.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US, ISSEI?"

"YOU GODDAMNED TRAITOR!"

I just sighed. Besides them, the only person I hung out with was Sona, though she never really knew my name, whenever we did. We would run into each other, and every time she would try to find out who I was, I always disappeared. My past is not one I want to remember. I always pretended to be oblivious to the supernatural. But I always knew.

"Issei!"

I looked up, and I immediately smiled. It was Sona. She didn't look mad! I silently sighed in relief. She came towards me, and started to pinch my cheek! Crap! She hid it!

"I thought I said to keep it a secret! Everyone in the school knows!"

"It's not my fault someone was still here at 7 in the evening!"

It was then that the bell decided to ring. Sona glared at me.

"We'll continue this later."

FUCK.

I started off to class, only to be stopped by the school's biggest asshole, and my long term bully.

"So I heard you started dating Sona?"

I didn't need this. "Please move. I need to get to class."

I tried to move around him, but to of his buddies surrounded me. I was pushed and held against the wall.

"You probably paid her, didn't you? Well, we'll just have to do something about that."

I looked up, only to see a fist flying towards my stomach. Shit.

I woke up in the infirmary. Goddamn it. It's really sad that this happens on a regular basis. How long have I been out? I tried to raise my arm to check the time, but something was on it. The hell? I looked down, and there was Sona! She must have fallen asleep, waiting for me to get up. I tried to get my arm free, but she started to stir. Shit! She's gonna get pissed, isn't she? She's gonna yell at me for letting the relationship out and- I froze when she jumped at me, tears flowing down her eyes.

I reached over to comfort her. I didn't want to tell her that this is normal for me. It would break her heart, seeing how she is now.

"It's alright, I'm fine.", I told her.

"You don't look fine! You're bruised and bleeding everywhere!', she choked out.

She tried to say more, but she broke down again.

"If only you knew how much this happens.", I mumbled out. I immediately wished I could slap myself. Great job me. Say you're not going to say that, and you do. Great fucking job.

She looked at me, eyes wide, her eyes begging me to say it wasn't true. I've only seen her like this once, and I promised myself to make sure that she would never feel like that again. Looks like I broke that promise.

It was three years ago. I was in the park, taking a break from my daily walk. I was watching the sun rise. Then, I heard someone crying. I turned around. It was Sona! I ran after her. She turned around and saw me. I ran with open arms and let her sob. It was a while after she calmed down she told me what happened. Her father was found dead in his room. He was apparently very sick and he had died in his sleep. I knew that Sona and her dad had been very close. We stayed together for a little while longer, before we went our separate ways.

I'm heading to class now. Sona finally calmed down enough to let me go back to class. My arm is in a sling, due to the beating I had earlier. I finally get to my class, and I opened the door. Immediately, I have to move my head in order to dodge a book flying at me. After that, all the girls surround me. Wait, what? Almost all the guys are yelling and shouting at me. Only a few are silent, they know what happened earlier. One of the girls nearest to me whispers.

"Don't worry, we've got your back. We saw how Sona-kaichou was earlier."

That's a relief. There's one less group I have to worry about. Suddenly, one of the guys rushes at me with a pair of scissors.

"THIS IS FOR SONA-KAICHOU, YOU BASTARD!"

He breaks through the defense the girls had made and is about to stab me when I do something that surprises everyone, including me. I grab his arm before it reaches my head, stopping it in place. The room goes quiet. I kick him in the leg, harder than I knew I could. He lets out a cry of pain, before looking straight at me. He froze at the look I had on my face. I was done with all this shit. I lifted him up, and pushed him into his seat.

"Do that again, and that will be the last thing you do."

After that, I didn't have many problems. The teacher let me take a break, due to my arm. I looked out the window and tried to gather my thoughts.

I'm currently heading towards the ORC clubroom. I'm going to try to get some pacts tonight. I opened the door, only to see the student council there as well.

"Ah Issei, there you are. How is your arm?"

"It's alright, buchou."

I start to turn towards the student council, only to be stopped by a member of them.

"Hi there Newby! I'm Saji!"

I blink. Newby?

"I'm Sona-kaichou's pawn! I took four pieces! How many did you take? Probably not that much, I mean, you look so wea-"

"SAJI!"

I turn to see Sona fuming. She looks really pissed.

"If you have to know, Ise-kun took all 8 pawns."

"WHAT?"

Well, I guess he's disappointed with how I took more pieces that hi-

"WHAT'S WITH THE 'ISE-KUN'?"

What.

After everything had calmed down, we continued with the meeting. It went on as usual, until a loud alarm went off.

'STRAY DEVIL IN AREA! STRAY DEVIL IN AREA! HUNT AND ELIMINATE!'

"Do you mind if we leave, Sona? We can continue this meeting at a later time."

"It's alright Rias. We'll do this another time."

We were just about to leave, when Sona grabbed my arm.

"Be safe." Then she kissed me!

I gave her a determined look and flashed her a smile.

"Don't worry, I will."

And we are finished! This comes to be my longest chappie, at about 13 hundred words! It's not a lot, but YEAH! Kind of a cliffhanger, but I am writing this at 3 in the morning. I'll try to update again tomorrow, or later today. But till then, see ya next chappie!
