Issei and Koneko both did their training with the training dragon and a few other dragons that helped out. It went rather smoothly, there weren't any major injuries to the two. Nothing more than just getting dirty. After a while, Issei got a call from Sirzechs.

Sirzechs: Hello? Are you there Issei?

Issei: Huh? Oh, Sirzechs! Yes, I am here. What's up?

Sirzechs: I am calling to tell you that your teleport will be ready soon. However, we need one small thing.

Issei: Which is?

Sirzechs: I'm sure you two have moved from where you two originally were, so I ask if you can give us a signal to where you two are.

Issei: Hmm, how would I do that. Would a beacon of sorts work?

Sirzechs: Yes, however, I don't think we would be able to see it from here. If you managed to make the beacon visible, we could trace to where you two are.

Issei: I think I have an idea. Sirzechs, what direction is the land of dragons to the household?

Sirzechs: I believe it is North-East.

Issei: Ok, well get some people observing in the sky. You'll be seeing your beacon soon.

Sirzechs: Ok, I trust you know what you're doing. We will see you both soon.

Issei equipped his gauntlet and looked in the crystal. As of recent, he has been able to use the crystal as a compass. It has been useful for finding his way around with Rating Games. Issei aimed the gauntlet South-West and charged a shot facing slightly upwards.

Koneko: What are you doing Issei?

Issei: I'm giving Sirzechs and everyone else in the household a beacon to where we are. They don't know precisely where we are and need extra guidance. So I'm thinking outside the box.

Issei thought about making his shot a laser again. It would last longer in the air and less likely to majorly damage something. He fired the shot, focusing on it to make sure it stayed up for as long as possible.

Issei: Koneko-chan? Can you call Sirzechs and see if the observers see anything? I need to focus on this.

Koneko: Ok.

Koneko called Sirzechs

Sirzechs: Hello?

Koneko: Hello Sirzechs, can your observers see the beacon?

Sirzechs: Yes, we see it above the household. We are just about to set up the circle. If you could ask Issei to keep the beacon up for another few seconds, we should be able to get you back here.

Koneko: Great. I'll tell him this and we look forward to being back.

Koneko disconnected the call

Koneko: Issei, keep the shot up for a few more seconds, we will be teleported soon.

Issei: -huff- alright.

Issei had started getting really exhausted from the shot. He usually doesn't hold the shot for so long, because he can't change the angle once it's been fired. He held on for as long as he could and as soon as he was about to fall from exhaustion, the two were teleported back into the main courtyard. Issei collapsed as soon as they arrived, breathing heavily.

Koneko: Issei! Are you ok?

Issei: Yeah, I'm… I'm ok. Just, out of breath.

Sirzechs: From the sounds of it you must have used up a lot of energy.

Issei: I don't know about that, I think its mainly the fact that I have never held the shot for so long. It used up a lot of stamina.

Sirzechs: Well if that's the case, why don't you two go and have a bath before dinner. We will talk about what you did in your training today.

Issei: Ok, thank you

Koneko helped Issei to his feet and assisted him to their room. She sat him down on the bed and sat next to him. Issei was still breathing heavily, but it was better than before. Not long after, his breathing returned to normal.

Issei: Thanks Koneko-chan.

Koneko: It's ok Issei. Are you ok now?

Issei: Yeah, my breathing is back to normal at least. My clothes are really dirty though. I'm liking Sirzechs offer to the bath. I'll head off to the bath first. I'll try not to take too long. -silently- So I can avoid an incident like what happened when Grayfia was in the bath, drunk.

Issei got up, stumbling a bit. He got some clothes to change into when he was done and headed off. When he arrived at the bath, he undressed and put a towel around his waist. He saw that no one else was in the bath, so he had the whole bath to himself. He walked in and the hot air hit him like a tonne of bricks. It was a nice temperature, compared to the temperature outside. He headed over to the body wash station first, before heading into the bath. He sat down and washed himself off. It felt refreshing after the hard day of training, as well as having to deal with a cat-girl that is prone to losing her clothes.

Issei: Just to myself, her body does look good. Her boobs are starting to take shape too. In a few years time, she could be on par with Akeno maybe.

Koneko: Who are you talking about?

Issei: Eh? What! I said… What are you doing in here? I thought I said I would take a bath first.

Koneko: I don't mind bathing with Issei. You would have done worse with Rias, right? What's wrong with doing something like that with me?

Issei: Um, well… you see…

Koneko: -sigh- anyway, let me wash your back.

Issei: Your not gonna leave here regardless. Alright, fine.

Koneko went over, got a sponge and the soap and started washing his back. Issei knew something wasn't right, so while she was washing his back, he was talking with Ddraig telepathically.

Issei: Hey Ddraig, is it possible Koneko-chan is under some sort of magic that's making her more forward?

Ddraig: It is entirely possible. I've been observing too and I agree. This isn't normal for this girl.

Issei: Is there something I can do? A way to fix it?

Ddraig: Hmm. I do have an idea, but it goes against my principles and I dislike the idea.

Issei: Its something that's related to 'doing it' isn't it?

Ddraig: ...yes partner, it is

Issei: Dammit. And here I was trying to find a different way to power up, not falling into the same habits.

Ddraig: If I may say something to help you here. You do have a power-up option that works well, despite me liking it. Even though the curse is gone, your life would be in danger if you initiated Juggernaut Drive off of anger, so if you use anger, you would have to be careful to not be too angry to have an incomplete transformation again. You could work on increasing your base power, similarly to Sairaorg and training. What I'm trying to say is, work on something else, but don't abandon something that already works.

Issei: Ddraig… Alright, I will. Thank you Ddraig, I appreciate the help.

Ddraig: You have been asking for help a lot, I guess it is nice to talk every once in a while, help my user. Though you need to hurry up finding a different way to power-up, instead of relying on Rias's boobs all the time.

Issei got up and looked at Koneko when he noticed something in her eyes. Her pupils had changed into a heart shape. He knew something wasn't right about that, he knew some sort of magic was at work here. However he didn't raise any concern to it, just in case, it makes the situation worse. He had to figure out a way to at least get rid of the spell.

Issei: -thinking- Well, her being like this is a bit refreshing… No no no, this is Koneko-chan I'm talking about. I have to find a way to fix this. Hmm, I think there may be a way to undo the spell, but Koneko-chan is definitely going to punch me later for it.

Koneko: Issei? What are you doing?

Issei: I'm pretty clean now, I'm going to wash you off instead.

Koneko: Ok then.

Koneko sat down and Issei picked up the sponge and soap. He started washing her back, then moved to the front, washing her stomach. He then moved up to her chest, making her begin to make sounds. Issei was doing his best to keep his cool. The last thing he needed was to pass out and run the risk of Koneko doing something to him.

Koneko: Ah, Issei. That's good, but I'm pretty sure I'm washed now.

Issei: I'm sorry Koneko-chan. Forgive me for this.

Koneko: If… If you keep going… my head feels fuzzy.

Issei: Don't worry Koneko-chan. You're in good hands, despite what you may think later.

Issei kept going, not being too rough with her. She eventually started shaking and collapsed to the ground. Issei's heart was beating crazily. His hands were shaking. He was close to collapsing from the blood rushing to his head. He was lucky that Koneko beat him to it. He sat down, catching his breath for the second time today.

Issei: Well, she is out for now. I'll lie her down next to me, on the side of the bath while I bathe. That's better than just leaving her like this. When she wakes up, ill check her eyes and see if they are back to normal. If not, ill talk to Sirzechs and Venelana about what kind of magic could be at play here, and how to dispell it.

Issei picked up Koneko and placed her on her back on the side of the bath. Issei got in and relaxed a bit. Issei just started thinking about what happened when Koneko came-to.

Koneko: Huh? What happened?

Issei: Koneko. You're awake. I'll explain what happened, but first, I need to see something. Let me see your eyes.

Koneko: Ok -looks at Issei-

Issei: Hmm, still not fixed… Guess I will need to go to Sirzechs later. Anyway, when you came into the bath, the heat got the better of you and you passed out. I picked you up and put you there. Your welcome to come in now, I was just about to get out.

Koneko: Your not gonna stay here with me?

Issei: If I stay in any longer I'll turn into a prune. I'll see you at dinner. -Thinking- For now, I need to have a word with those two about who's behind this.
