It's time for Rias everybody.

(Issei's P.O.V)

Every single person has a story so crazy that even when you explain it, you need to repeat it just because it's so ridiculous. I just finished one of those stories.

"So let me get this straight. When you went on your date with the fallen angel you told her about the fact you knew what she was at the start of the date."

"That's right."

"Then once the date was over you confronted her at the fountain, and as you were explaining how much she screwed up, Azazel called you."

"That's right."

"So instead of having an epic fight, you two go to a love hotel and you have sex with both her human form and fallen angel form?"

"Oh yeah!" I said with pride.

"Then when you finally get to school you find out that Rias made everyone believe you died in a car accident."

"Uh huh. For the record I didn't plan that."

"So your classmates left porn mags of all things as tributes, and one girl decided to leave bloomers."

"Yep, and again, I didn't plan that."

"Of course that girl turns out to be Murayama's best friend, Katase, and you decide to set yourself up in a situation where you two are alone in order to have sex with her."

"Pretty much."

"Of course you also decided to tell Rias that she screwed up and are probably planning to fuck her senseless as well."

"That, I definitely do plan to do."

"Issei, give me one good reason why I shouldn't dump you right now." Irina said angrily as she diagnosed my latest story. Yeah, it was a doozy even by my standards.

"Well you agreed that I could have sex with other girls, as long as I didn't become a devil. Which I still haven't done." I replied to my true girlfriend with a tone dripping with sarcasm.

"Oh…yeah… that…." Irina twitched knowing that I was right. I still can't figure out why she made that deal a few years ago, but she did and I've certainly benefited from that arrangement.

"Oh, and I got some information that you might find interesting." I replied no doubt making Irina angrier.

"This better be good, Issei, because right now I'm pretty pissed at you." Irina insisted.

"How about the fact that I know what the fallen angels are planning in Kuoh." I smirked.

"Continue…." Irina deadpanned no doubt praying (no pun intended) that this was just a minor blip.

"Well, Raynare told me that she and her crew were waiting for a Holy Maiden named Asia Argento. When she-" I started to say but interrupted her.

"Did you say ASIA ARGENTO!?" Irina screamed into my ear.

"Uh-huh." I replied wondering what the big deal was.

"What is the Holy Maiden who could heal all injuries doing working with the fallen angels?" Irina exclaimed.

"Well, if you were patient, I'd tell you." I replied cheekily.

"Ughh! Get on with it." Irina groaned.

"Anyway when the Holy Maiden arrives in Kuoh, Raynare and group are planning to steal her sacred gear. I'm guessing that's how she healed everybody. Apparently the process will kill her and then they were told to leave her body." I explained.

"I'm confused. Why would they leave her body?" Irina said in confusion.

"I don't know." I responded calmly. It didn't make sense to me either but I knew somebody who could fill in the gaps.

"Well, whatever's going on, I hope you can save Asia. She's done a lot of good and she doesn't deserve whatever the fallen angels have planned for her." Irina said nervously.

"I'll do my best." I promised. She was my girlfriend and if protecting Asia was something she wanted I'd do it.

"Thanks Issei, talk to you later." Irina said happily before hanging up. It was always strange how she could go from so angry to so cheery in one second.

"Would you like me to fill in some of the details that you're missing?" Azazel said with a smirk as he returned from ordering the food for us. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that I was at Azazel's house because of what happened with Dohnaseek? Even though the guy attacked me, I still felt bad about killing one of Azazel's angels. It doesn't hurt that my parents were out on a date so I had to get food on my own.

"I take it what you want to tell me has to do with sacred gears since that's the only place you could really contribute." I retorted.

"Smartass."

"Thank you."

"Anyway, it most likely means my renegade daughter is working with the devils, but not one of the ones that live here." Azazel explained catching me off guard.

"Makes sense, Raynare had no idea that Rias gave me the summoning circle. That's a pretty big screw up." I scoffed.

Azazel winced at that since Raynare had nearly done some major damage. "Anyway, the thing is that in order to make humans or other creatures their servants, devils use what's known as evil pieces. My guess is the devil Raynare is working with doesn't care about the sacred gear, but simply wants the girl."

"That would mean he cares about her body more than her power. Which is odd since the ability to heal is pretty freaking amazing." I frowned.

"Uh-huh, but that's another story for another time." Azazel responded equally nervous. Actively or passively, if members of different fractions were working together it spelled problems for Azazel, especially if his daughter is involved.

"By the way, sorry about killing that Dohnaseek guy." I said apologetically.

"Meh, it's alright. If he was stupid enough to attack you, I can't blame you for defending yourself." Azazel shrugged. It was at that time the food the man ordered for us arrived. With everything as it was, tomorrow I was planning to confront Rias, and that was sure to be an entertaining conversation.

(Scene Skip)

My arrival in school was certainly more amusing then the day before. Thanks to Rias, the rumors about my death turned me from a miserable pervert to a sympathetic figure. Though I suspected it was more due to the rumors of the porn mags that the various guys in class left for me. It made people realize that all guys are perverts in some ways. When I arrived at my locker, I was pleased to find a letter from Rias.

'Dear Issei,

I agree that we need to talk, and that it should be a private one. When I show up at the window, that will be your cue to come into the building. Don't worry, everything will be unlocked.

From Rias Gremory

With that it was time to head to class and relax knowing what fun was waiting for me.

(Scene Skip)

As I made my way towards the old school building, I never imagined that my day would be as amusing as it was. When I walked in I could still smell the distinct smell of sex from the night before and I was amused at that. Kiryuu noticed that the bloomers were gone and was bugging me about who I thought it was. Then there was the shock of the day when Matsuda and Motohama announced that they decided to stop peeking. They admitted that the rumor shook them and they decided to stop being perverts and seek out love the old fashion way. That led to Kiryuu of all people confessing to Motohama and a new couple was born. The girl was such a pervert that they'd be a good match.

When lunch came, the four of us ate lunch together, and were joined by Murayama and Katase of all people. It was a relatively calm lunch until Matsuda confessed his feelings for Katase and was turned down because she said there was another guy she liked. I felt bad for Matsuda since the guy she liked happened to be me, but he didn't know that. Fortunately for Matsuda, Katase did tell him that there was a girl in the kendo club who liked him. Apparently she went to his middle school and was a fan of his back during his track days, and she agreed to make the introduction. Just like that, the perverted trio was finished and now I was free to have more fun.

Then there was an amusing moment after class was over when Alana, the girl who made the BL comic about me and Kiba, asked if I could model for her club. Apparently they were working on a new BL doujin and needed my assistance. What they didn't tell me was that they wanted me to be a penis model of all things, and that they're new doujin was going to be more erotic in nature then the past ones. Fortunately for me, it wasn't going to involve me and Kiba. I naturally accepted the request and I got some good imagery as payment. It turns out that Alana had a great body and her fellow members: Iori, Momo, and Kisara were no slouches either. After I was done they wanted to go further but I turned them down, for now, since I wanted to save all of my juice for Rias. The girl had some pay back coming despite how beneficial her little lie ended up being.

"I'm still surprised you turned those girls down partner. With your stamina you could've had fun with them and had room left over for that devil girl." Ddraig be honest the only reason I didn't fuck them senseless was because of what was happening with Rias and that she expected me to come pretty soon.

'Meh, it doesn't matter. I know I can go have fun with them anytime I want and I WILL do so another time.' I told Ddraig as I sat down in front of the window where I used to wait with my fellow perverts.

"Very well. By the way, I believe she's coming." Ddraig told me.

'About time.' I replied with a smile. Looking up at the window there was Rias staring down at me. Unlike the usual aloof look on her face this one was far more serious. I was definitely looking forward to this one.

(Scene Skip)

Using my supernatural senses I easily made my way up to the room where Rias was staying on the third floor of the old school building. Admittedly I was curious about the presence that I sensed on the second floor but figured that if I needed to know about it I could ask another time. Opening the door I was pleased to find that Rias was sitting in a room by herself with nobody around her. "My my, this is quite the setup." I said with a smile as I looked around the room. The various supernatural tools and objects certainly led to the credence of an Occult Research Club, but I knew it was mostly window dressing. To my amusement I noticed that a door was open and there was a shower room plain for me to see.

"Thank you very much and welcome to the Occult Research Club, Issei." Rias said with a fake smile that failed to hide how angry she was.

"Do you have some tea? I'm quite fond of it actually." I said with an equally pleasant smile.

"Of course, I had Akeno make some earlier before she left. I'll be right back." Rias said calmly, expecting that I was aware of Akeno's membership in the club. She was nervous and I knew it, but she maintained an impressive calm. Barely a minute later Rias returned with a cup of tea for both me and her. "Here you go." She said with the same calm as before.

"Thank you." I replied as I drank the tea while looking at Rias and trying to get a good read on her.

"So are you ready to get down to business, Issei?" Rias asked with the serious expression I expected from the start.

"Yes I am, Ms Gremory." I replied with a devious grin. Now it was time for the fun to begin.

"It's obvious that you know about the supernatural, and no doubt are aware of what I am, correct?"

"Of course. I know that you're a devil. I know that your older brother is one of the Maou. I also know that unlike your best friend Sona, Rias Gremory is your actual name." I said with a smirk.

"My my, it seems you know far more about me then I do you." Rias said with a hint of surprise. No doubt she knew that I understood what she was but I doubt she realized I knew about Sona or her brother.

"Well, I intentionally made it that way. When you have abilities like mine, people tend to come after you though I suppose you knew that, didn't you." I said bluntly.

"I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that." Rias said apologetically.

"So let me get this straight. You had Koneko follow me for the better part of a month, and even sent your familiar to give me one of your contract circles without knowing my power?" I said in disbelief. Rias was either clueless or desperate and neither were very appealing ideas.

"Afraid not." Rias said frankly understanding that now wasn't the time for games. "I actually was hoping that Koneko could tell me more about your power before I could recruit you, but when that fallen angel asked you out, I had to act."

I frowned yet again because it meant that Rias was definitely desperate. "So now that we've established that you're desperate, tell me why you wanted my 'power' so badly if you didn't know what it was."

"So that's how it is huh?" Rias said with a mild surprise.

"That's how what is?" I asked with an innocent amusement.

"Oh come now, Issei, I've been taught the political game since I was a child. I obviously want something from you, but you also want something from me. You have no reason to be here otherwise, especially since you know what I've attempted to do. So let's cut to the chase. What do you want from me?"

I smiled because she wasn't the helpless princess I expected her to be and it was rather amusing. Sure she was clueless but that was a minor problem. "Well, before I tell you what I want, why don't you tell me what would make you so desperate that you'd go so far?" I suggested. This was going to be a very fun game.

Rias smiled no doubt because she realized this wouldn't be easy. "Very well Issei. I need your power because I want to get rid of my fiancée."

"You must be joking." I said in disbelief.

"I'm engaged to be married to a man named Riser Phenex. In a word, he's a scumbag who doesn't care one bit for me, and I can't stand him. Originally our marriage was going to happen after I graduated high school, but I've noticed that his familiar has been watching me recently. I have no doubt that he'll attempt to push it up to any day now."

"So what exactly was that have to do with me?" I wondered. I did notice an odd presence in school and that explained it. However that was neither here nor there.

"Well, to be honest, it's more with the perverted side of you."

"Oh?" I replied intrigued at what she meant by that.

"Yes. My original plan was to have the fallen angel kill you in order to make you a member of my peerage. That would allow me to privately seduce you and get you to sleep with me. By doing so I could get Riser off my back, because part of the contract is for me to stay a virgin.

I couldn't fight back a smirk since I wanted her body anyway. "So it really had nothing to do with my power?" I said almost disappointed.

"Not at all, I figured that if I could seduce you I would be able to get him off my back."

"Well Rias, I have good news and bad news then." I said smiling.

"Really?" Rias replied with intrigue.

"The bad news is that from what you've told me, that even had your original plan worked, you wouldn't have got what you wanted."

Rias certainly wasn't happy with my response. "Is that so?" She said almost angrily.

"From what you've told me, I can probably guess a few things about Riser even without meeting him. The first is that he's a pervert very much like me and my friends used to be, and if he's rich like you, he probably has all different types of women around him of various ages and body types to satisfy him whenever he wants. The second thing, and this is your problem, is that by giving away your virginity it won't push him away. In fact it will make him angry and he will no doubt have another way to make you his." I explained.

Rias frowned at my words, and while I was curious about why, her next sentence made me smile. "So what's the good news in all of this because I don't see how this conversation is making whatever you want from me happen anytime soon?"

I smirked because I had her right where I wanted her, "The good news is what I wanted, ironically, was you. My original intention in coming here was to take your virginity and then move on with my life."

"I fail to see the good news in all of that because either way I lose?" Rias said with a look of confusion.

"Here's the deal. Let's say I take your virginity right now. When Riser comes to claim you, and he will do so very soon, I'll be thrust into the supernatural spotlight because he'll want revenge for me claiming your virginity. That is a situation that will give me nothing but headaches." I explained calmly. All the hints should've been in that statement and the fact she didn't ask what I thought she would annoyed me. I was beginning to regret turning down the comic book club.

"You make it sound like you could beat Riser. What you don't know is that the name Riser Phenex isn't for show. The man is immortal just like the phoenix and I doubt that whatever power you had would be enough to beat him.

"Well then it seems we have nothing to talk about, Rias." I said with a smirk as I stood up to leave. Just as I was about to reach the door Rias called out to me for a final time.

"Can you tell me one thing?" Rias wondered.

"What's up?" I replied with yet another smirk. Was this finally the moment she realized the truth.

"What IS your power? Koneko wasn't able to figure it out and I can't sense anything special from you right now." Rias pleaded. At last she asked the question that would give her the answers she needs.

"If you must know, I'm the Red Dragon Emperor." I said with a smile before using my speed to get in front of her and kiss her on the lips before leaving the room. Whether her shock came from the revelation of the source of my power or the fact I took her first kiss I didn't know, but as I walked away I could see that she was stunned.

(Scene Skip)

After I arrived home I called Irina to give her the latest update. To my amusement, she bet Xenovia that I would sleep with Rias, and since I didn't, she owes Xenovia a favor to be claimed later. After I was finished, I had a chance to speak with my partner in all of this, The Welsh Dragon, Ddraig.

"I'm surprised that you didn't sleep with her. I thought you were looking forward to it." Ddraig said with a smirk.

"I was but then I realized that as much as I'd enjoy Rias's body, her plan has so many flaws that it isn't worth it. That Riser guy sounds like a headache also."

"That's not the reason and you know it. You don't want to sleep with her is because you feel like you're rewarding her foolish behavior. You knew as well as I did that you would have to deal with the devils eventually and so did Irina."

"So what? Do you think I should've slept with her?" I groaned.

"Of course not!" Ddraig exclaimed. "She put your life in danger and by extension mine to satisfy her selfish desires. Plus there was that drug in the tea that she hoped would influence you. I wouldn't have rewarded a person like that no matter how attractive they are."

"So we're in agreement." I replied with a smile ending the conversation. I was a tad bit surprised that Rias drugged me since she had all the tools she needed to seduce me without resorting to drugs. This was definitely an interesting situation.

(Scene Skip)

With the first salvo against Rias fired, I was curious what Rias would do next. After all, I held all the cards and if she wanted me she'd have to give me something besides her body. Of course I could focus on that later on. Luckily for me, I didn't have to wait long for the next move to be played in our little game.

"Issei Hyoudou, please come to the student council's office. Issei Hyoudou, please come to the student council office." That was the announcement from the loudspeaker and it was certainly an interesting move.

"What did you do now, Issei?" Murayama asked me in a voice that almost screamed concern instead of annoyance. Almost as though she knew something that she wasn't supposed to know.

"I didn't do anything. I think president Sitri simply wants to talk to me." I said with a smile intentionally making it so I used Sona's devil last name instead of her regular one.

"I see." Murayama replied calmly not noticing that Freudian slip of mine. It was clear that she had a vague knowledge of the supernatural and I couldn't figure out why.

"Wait a minute, isn't the president's last name Shitori, Issei?" Kiryuu spoke up much to my annoyance and Murayama's shock.

"Oh, that's right, silly me. I don't know where I came up with Sitri." I said with a smile as I left the room. Of course I made sure to give Murayama a 'we need to talk later' look before leaving.

(Scene Skip)

Arriving at the student council's office I went straight to the office of the president Sona Sitri. The student council office was a large room about with a 4 feet by 8 feet table in the middle and a small couch in the top right corner. The various tools around the room showed that the officers spent a lot of time there. They had a freaking microwave for God's sake. Of course there was a door on the left side that led to Sona Sitri's office, and that's where I was headed. It was a medium sized office with an ornate wooden desk and two chairs. The first was a basic chair for a single person to sit on and the other one was an ornate chair that was extremely fancy, and sitting in that fancy chair was the person I came to see. "Hello President Shitori, what do you need from me?" I said with a cheeky smile as I sat in the regular chair. To the normal people in the school, she was known as Sona Shitori, but thanks to Azazel, I knew that was a lie and her real last name was Sitri. Sona had black hair that she kept in a bob cut and purple eyes that were behind a pair of purple framed glasses. She wasn't very busty, but she was attractive in her own way. I had dealt with her many times as a pervert, but this was going to be a very different game and I enjoyed it.

"We're all alone, Issei, and we both know that's not my real name." Sona said sternly. She wasn't playing games and that meant this was going to be fun.

"Alrighty then, President Sitri." I said with a savage grin on my face. "Before we get started, I want to thank you for the car accident rumor. When people believed the car accident was caused by my perversion, I became a pitiable figure and it actually got me quite a few opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise." I teased.

Sona was caught off guard by my statement, and a lesser person might not have noticed it but it was obvious to me. "What makes you think I started the rumor?" Sona asked with intrigue.

"Because you're the one who called my parents and Rias isn't anywhere near smart enough to make something like that up." I retorted.

Sona looked angry at my response but quickly returned to the stern look on her face that she originally had. "Then let's cut to the chase. I want you to help Rias with her Riser problem. Do so and I won't expel you for all your perverted antics." Sona said with a smirk on her face. It was a clever bluff indeed but it was still a bluff.

"We both know you can't do that, Sona." I replied with a smirk of my own.

"What makes you say that?" Sona said with a frown on her face. Clearly she didn't expect that kind of response from me.

"Because if you were gonna expel me for my perverted antics, you would've done so a long time ago. My bet is that you couldn't because I was Rias's latest target, and if I left Kuoh, there was no way she could make me a part of her peerage. You expel me and you would quickly lose track of me." I replied with a smile on my face. Her shock at my response was obvious but there was something else in it that I couldn't see.

"Ughh, fine, you win. So I'll change the question; is there anything you want from me that would make you help Rias?" Sona said sternly. There was a look of nervousness in her eyes that I hadn't seen before. Clearly there was something else missing from this conversation.

There was something that she could do for me but I was going to have a little fun with her first. "Actually, there is something I want you to do for me." I said with a particularly perverted expression on my face. I was curious if she'd actually do what I was implying but I wasn't counting on it.

Sona looked as though she contemplated what I was suggesting and after a minute she came to a decision. "Fine, but this stays between us." Sona groaned as she got up from behind the desk and walked in front of me taking her shoes off extremely quickly. I looked on with intrigue as Sona reached for the buttons of her shirt and unbuttoned them slowly until her light blue bra revealed itself.

"My my, you look lovely." I said with an evil grin as she reached for her skirt. I was slightly surprised that she was aware of the pervert's etiquette when it comes to stripping but considering all the books she confiscated, she must've figured something out.

"Shut up." Sona blushed in embarrassment as she pulled down her skirt revealing the matching blue panties. All that remained was her bra and panties and when she went to unhook her bra I thought that was enough.

"What are you doing?" I said trying to hold back my laughter.

"Ughh! It's obvious you want to fuck me, so just get it over with." Sona growled. The flustered look on her face was pretty funny but it was time to end the games.

I went over to Sona and put my hand on her shoulder. "While I admire your dedication to your friend, my request wasn't to have sex with you." I said with a smirk. I could see the embarrassment on her face appear and I almost burst out laughing.

"You tricked me!" Sona exclaimed with a massive blush on her face.

"Yep, and I have to admit I didn't think you'd actually strip all the way." I said still holding back the laughter.

"You pervert." Sona said with an extremely flustered reaction.

"Thank you." I replied with a smile as I watched Sona put her clothes back on and return to her desk.

"Now that you're done messing with me, tell me what you really want." Sona said angrily.

"Alrighty then." I said with a smile as I decided that enough was enough. "As you are well aware, a week ago I was asked out by a girl named Yuuma Amano, who was really a fallen angel."

"Well yes, that much was obvious from Rias's reports." Sona groaned.

"What you don't know is that killing me wasn't the real reason for her targeting me, or the reason she's in Kuoh."

"And how do you know what her real plans are?" Sona asked curiously.

"I seduced her. The reason I was actually late on Monday was because of the fact that I was having sex with her in a love hotel. I figured we'd only do it the one night, but she was extremely passionate." I said with a grin on my face.

"That so?" Sona sweatdropped. The irony of that statement was rather amazing if you think about it.

"Yep, her real plan involves bringing a nun named Asia Argento to Kuoh. I only got involved because I had supernatural powers and Rias seemed to be interested in me." I revealed.

"So they're after a nun, what does that have to do with us?" Sona asked with a growing curiosity.

"The nun is important to you for two reasons. The first is that she has a sacred gear called Twilight Healing, which allows her to heal any injury, even those of a devil. The second is that they were hired to do that by somebody else, and the person who hired them said that they wanted her body, but not the sacred gear." I revealed. The first piece of news intrigued her but when I revealed the second thing she was shocked.

"You can't be serious." Sona exclaimed. I couldn't blame her for being skeptical. The idea that somebody involved with the supernatural didn't want her gear but did want her body was a freaky thought.

"Why in the world would I lie to you?" I said not ignoring the fact that I just played her like a fool a second ago. "Yuuma told me that she and her team were hired to bring Asia Argento to Kuoh. She wanted her sacred gear and the client was fine with that. All they said was to keep her body."

Sona's expression darkened as she put two and two together. "So let me guess. You want me to rescue Asia Argento and her sacred gear and all and then get rid of the fallen angels."

"Yes and no." I said with a smirk though I was impressed by the quick leap of logic.

"So what do you want?" Sona said angrily.

"I want you to save Asia Argento, that much is true, but I do want you to spare Yuuma. The rest of the group you can do with as you please. Hell, you can even keep Asia as your servant for all I care." I said with another grin.

"Wait a minute. Why would you want me to spare the girl who tried to kill you? It can't be because of the sex?" Sona asked in disbelief.

"The sex was quite lovely, but as you said, that's not the reason. She happens to be the daughter of the leader of the Fallen Angels, Azazel." I revealed causing her to go crazy.

"How the hell do you know that!?" Sona exclaimed. Seeing her like this was almost too good to be true.

"Because Azazel is my buddy. We play video games together and hang out once in a while." I said with a smile.

"But…you... how… huh..?" Sona babbled almost in disbelief. I mean I couldn't blame her I was dropping some incredible knowledge on her and I hadn't even told her the best part.

"That's because I'm the Red Dragon Emperor." I said happily causing an already confused and delirious Sona to faint. It took everything in my power not to laugh, but inside of my sacred gear Ddraig was doing enough for the both of us.

(Scene Skip)

"Okay, so to summarize. If we rescue this Asia Argento and spare Raynare, you'll help Rias get rid of Riser." Sona said frankly dismissing the fact that she had fainted in front of me.

"Yep." I replied.

"Before I let you go, I'm curious about one thing."

"Yes, you should definitely find new underwear. That blue color is cute, but if you want to go full on sexy, you need a bit more flare." I said sarcastically.

"Not that, you jerk." Sona face faulted. "Why couldn't you just sleep with Rias and be done with it?"

"Because then I couldn't guarantee Raynare's safety. I happen to like Azazel, and I know that even for a pacifist like him, losing his daughter would be a massive blow. I realized that if I turned her down then you would seek me out hoping to be the good cop, so to speak."

"I see." Sona replied. She was pretty annoyed that I figured her out but all things considered it worked out well.

"Plus, like you said, the sex is good whether she's in her human or fallen angel form." I joked causing her to groan.

"We're done here." Sona groaned. She definitely didn't expect all of this and she had a lot of thinking to do.

"Fine, fine." I said with a smile before l got out of my seat. "Oh, and one more thing." I said deciding to have a little fun.

"What?" Sona growled. My little games had taken their toll on her and I knew it.

With a burst of speed I got behind her. "You may not be Rias level hot, but you're cute in your own right." I teased before quickly kissing her on the cheek and groping her chest for a quick second. Before she could react I was back in my original spot with a cheeky smile on my face.

"Get lost!" Sona growled as I left the office and made my way back to class. That was far more fun than I expected to have.

(Sona P.O.V)

As Issei left the room I took a second to deal with everything I learned from him. The fact that he was the Red Dragon Emperor was something I didn't expect, and I was pissed that Rias never told me that little detail, but it was the reason that he refused Rias that had me off guard. He could've had Rias and that would've been the end of it, but no, he was much more devious. When he kissed me, I felt a glimpse of his real power and realized that, if he wanted to, he could've taken care of the fallen angels in the church by himself. He managed to essentially get us to do his dirty work and finish off the fallen angels by dangling a girl with a sacred gear and information on a devil traitor. Then there was the fact that he knew I would summon him after he denied Rias's request, which is an impressive leap in logic. Rias may be worried about Riser, but in Issei she may be dealing with somebody far more dangerous and clever.
