Here is the next chapter. It's kinda rushed, but it's more of a plot filler thing. Like it builds up the rest of the story and such. So, I hope its ok... but nothing special really happened. However next chapter will be the beginning of a whole lot of fun... for Issei.
I own nothing.
Issei was walking with his new servants, though it didn't feel like it. Rias was leading the pack acting like the true noble king she was. She was a princess after all. So with Issei being the official king, though he knew deep down that it was only for the paper work, he had only four pawns and one knight remaining to fill up his peerage.
Rias was walking towards Issei house in the mountains once he told them where he was living. Everyone, minus Issei, were excited to see where Issei was living. They would get to meet the dinosaurs, see where he got his muscles at in the lab, and what kind of things his parents used to do. Not even Issei knew what they were doing but he didn't really go and look for such data. He had no interest in following his parents footsteps and instead only making his own path. He would still use the lab but just go in a different direction. Perhaps it would be only for selfish uses, but that was ok. Issei didn't know what his plans were for his life, but he was taking it one step at a time for the moment.
"I can't wait to see what my new servants are like." Rias said with a grin. Akeno looked at Rias as she was walking along side her.
"I as well. It would be interesting to see what new playtoys I could have."
Rias chuckled. "I thought Issei was your only playtoy."
"The more the merrier is the saying right?" Akeno giggled out before looking behind as Issei with a predatory smile. She licked her top lip. "Don't worry Issei, you are my favorite plaything."
"Joy." Issei deadpanned. Issei had given up already. He knew that he was only the king on the paperwork, but everyone would know that Rias was the boss of the house. Issei did wonder why the females of the Gremory house were the ones in control and now he figured it out. Grayfia owned Sirzechs and Venelana owned her husband. Now he was owned and he was only friends with Rias! At least he had his dinosaur friends to think of him as the true king.
Upon arriving at the house, Issei opened up the doors and led the group inside, taking them to the back where the large glass dome was at. When he pressed the button for the large metal doors the slide open, Rias and the others pushed past him into the humid tropical rain forest. They were able to see a large path that obviously lead to the center, where there was most likely a clearing. They also could hear running water, including a waterfall. They heard the chirps and croaks of other animals, but could not hear the dinosaurs.
Issei walked through the path and arrived at the clearing with his friends, when he heard the stomps. The Rex appeared from the forest with the raptors by his feet, where the Spino came from the river. They all looked at Issei, then Rias and the others. Issei cleared his throat.
"So, it seems that we have gotten more people into my peerage. Rias, Akeno, Kiba and Koneko are all my servants now." Issei said with a smile. "So, treat them kindly."
It only took ten seconds, but Issei watched as each and every one of the dinosaurs knelt before Rias, as servants to a king. Issei's eyes went wide in shock.
"You… You're all traitors!" Issei exclaimed. His dinosaurs have betrayed him!
It was then the alpha raptor looked back and grinned at Issei, showing that the dinos were only fucking with him. Issei narrowed his eyes as threatened the creature with his eyes only for the raptor to look away as Rias and the gang were petting the creatures on their heads.
"Wow they are so well behaved." Rias said.
"Are they potty trained?" Akeno teased.
A snort from the large Rex knocked her on her butt but this didn't hurt her. In-fact it only made her put on a trademark predatory grin, looking at the large dinosaur. She was going to have to push the big monstrous creature.
After twenty minutes of the introductions, Issei went back into the main building and into the kitchen. He wanted to get a drink from dealing with his traitorous companions. It was then Rias appeared from behind and chuckled.
"You're making that wrong." Rias said sweetly, pressing her chest to his back and taking his hands into her own where she emptied the cup and began to show Issei how to make the tea properly. Issei blushed at the intimate contact, but somehow felt his man-card was at stake because this was something a man should be doing to a female. It was then a hologram appeared at the dining room table and a sweet voice was heard.
"Excuse me, is Rias here?"
"Oh, Lady Phenex, how do you do?" Rias said with a dignified smile and a small bow.
"I am quite well. Yourself?"
"Wonderful actually. So, what is the honor of your visit?"
"I would like to offer a trade." Lady Phenex said with a smile. Issei looked over and noticed that the girl looked like an older Ravel. Down to even the eye color.
"I do apologize, but I am no longer a king." Rias said, being honest.
"Oh, I am well aware of this fact but you still control the pieces. So, I would like to trade you two pawns for two of my own." Issei rolled his eyes at his luck.
"Oh, who might they be?"
"My daughter and Isabela. With Ravel wanting out of her brothers peerage, Isabela decided to follow to protect Ravel. That was the nature of their relationship long ago anyway."
"I don't see why not. I am well aware that Ravel doesn't fight but having a rook like Isabela would be a nice addition."
"Yes, my thoughts exactly."
"Though I do have to ask, why did you ask us?"
"It was because my dear daughter asked to be part of Issei's peerage." She said sweetly. You could hear in the background a loud MOOOOOOM, which Rias and Ravel's mother giggled at. Issei sighed and continued to sip his tea while staying out of view.
"Oh."
"Is Issei there?"
"Yes. Issei, come great Lady Phenex."
Issei ducked behind the counters, hiding from Rias's vision too.
"Issei!" Rias scolded. No response. Rias looked at Ravel's mother and gave her an apologetic smile. "Hold on one moment." Rias got up and went behind the counter and a few seconds later, Issei was shoved into the seat and was rubbing his ear after saying ow.
"H-Hello."
"Hello there. So you would be the famous young man who has a peerage of extinct reptiles who defeated a Phoenix easily."
"Y-Yes."
"It's an honor to meet you. So will you take Ravel in?"
"Not like I have a choice. Rias is controlling my entire peerage now."
"I meant as a man, would you? I want you to look after my daughter and keep weird pests away from her."
"U-Um… I guess so." Issei said, scratching his head.
With a clap of her hands, Ravels mother gave a big smile. "Wonderful. They are already at your doorstep."
DING DONG.
Issei blinked and when he turned around to accuse Ravel's mother, she was gone. Issei narrowed his eyes and began to walk to the front door. It seemed Ravels mother knew that Issei would take Ravel in so she sent them ahead of time.
When Issei opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of Ravel with her arms crossed over her chest and Isabela with an apologetic look on her face.
"About time." Ravel said, acting like a Tsundere. "We were standing here forever."
"It's a big house! Takes a while to cross over!"
"Should have ran." Ravel said, walking in past Issei who was pushed out the way by the little girl. Issei turned to Isabela who chuckled.
"I'm sorry about that. She doesn't hate you."
"It's hard to tell but I know." Issei said with a sigh.
"May I come in?"
"Might as well, the person you are escorting decided to push her way inside." Issei said with a chuckle, walking into the house with Isabela.
Issei took Isabela and Ravel into the large glass dome, letting the dinosaurs meet up with the two new peerage additions. The girls looked up at the large dinosaurs, as even the raptors were at least ten feet all.
"Big." Isabela said.
"That's what she said." Issei said quickly.
Rias smacked him in the back of the head for the comment. Issei rubbed his head then coughed, fiddling through his pocket for his pieces. It was then he noticed that they were gone, but Rias had them in her hand! Issei blinked and looked confused, only to growl a bit. Rias had taken his pieces too, not even letting him have the privilege of putting the pieces into the people he was going to take in. It shouldn't even be possible to have someone else do it, but for some fucking reason, Rias was able to. Issei chalked it up to the karma gods. It was his punishment for being away from the girls for so long.
Issei said fuck it and walked out of the dome, letting Rias handle the peerage while he went out on the town. He had enough of the shenanigans of his life, so he decided to go attend a movie. There was a movie coming out that he wanted to see for the longest time. It was a monster movie about a large reptilian creature like four hundred feet tall, with spines out of his back. He also could shoot a large radiation heat beam from his mouth. It looked AWESOME.
As Issei was making his way to the movie theater, his name was called out and he froze up in fear.
"Hey Issei! Issei! It's been so long!"
Issei turned around slowly and his fears were met. His oldest childhood friend was there, though he only knew her for a few months before she moved off to another country. Irina Shidou. He quickly put on a confused look.
"My name is nick. Not Issei… you have the wrong person."
Irina was with another girl who had blue hair with a green fringe. She decided to speak up.
"You are Japanese… not American." The girl said, narrowing her eyes in anger. They were exorcists and could tell he was a devil.
Irina ran over to Issei and quickly gave him a big hug, smothering him with her awesome hyperness.
Issei was shivering in fear from the female and when he was released he quickly backed away.
"Well… I… Um… I gotta go." Issei said, walking away quickly. He was stopped by the other girl who stood in front of him.
"We have business to speak of with you and your master, so you aren't getting away from us."
"Why would you run away from me? Didn't you miss me?"
"You tortured me every week!" Issei accused.
"What?"
"You don't remember? I remember that I bought you ice cream every monday and then you took me to the mall!"
"Well yea… I remember that."
"So many shoes… so many shoes." Issei said, holding his head like it was in pain.
Irina looked confused and looked at him weirdly but giggled anyway. "You're so silly Issei." Irina said, taking his arm into her own before escorting him up the mountain to his home. Issei looked behind him at the movie theater and whined, as he really really wanted to see that movie.
Upon arriving back at home, the two girls were surrounded by so many devils that it was quite scary.
"So, you wanted to speak with me?" Rias asked.
"Yes, we are here on business and we want you to stay out of it." Xenovia put it bluntly.
"I see… what business do you have here?"
"That is none of your business."
"Xenovia! We are trying to make nice with these devils! Now be nice!"
"I am only stating facts."
"You make it so difficult sometimes." Irina said before looking at Rias. "Kokabiel and Valper Galalei has stolen a lot of our Excalibur from our churches."
"And you want to fight him alone?" Rias asked, confused. "You're going to die."
"We're well aware of our chances." Xenovia said.
"You both are idiots. I thought you were smarter than this Irina." Issei said, crossing his arms and looking at his old friend/tormentor.
"I have a job to do!" Irina defended.
"Idiot. Alright, I will offer my help then." Issei said.
Rias shook her head. "We can't do that Issei. It could cause a war."
"How? We aren't attacking the angels… just helping them."
"We would be fighting against Kokabiel."
"And they aren't? They will cause a war if they don't and Kokabiel is a warmonger! That guy is TRYING to start a war."
Xenovia nodded. "This is true, but we don't need help from devils." Xenovia said with a glare. "Especially one who is afraid to go shopping."
"Excuse me?" Issei challenged, glaring at her.
"You heard me. We don't need cowardly devil scum like you on our side."
"Alright, I think it's time we play a game to see how many hits does it take to get to the center of an exorcist!" Issei said, clenching his fists. Xenovia stared at him and grinned, ready to fight. Issei turned and looked around the room for a moment, only to see Kiba staring murderously at Xenovia but it was more at the swords. It was then Irina spoke up.
"Oh I remember something else that the church told us! Kokabiel also was responsible for the death of a family of devil researchers like 7 years ago!"
Issei's eyes went wide, which included all of the devils in the room including Kiba. Issei clenched his fists extremely hard.
"Rias..." Issei said, seething.
Rias sighed and nodded. "I can't stop you even if I say its a bad idea. Plus… I'm angry too."
Akeno giggled and licked her finger. "I think it sounds like fun bringing the pain to a leader class."
Irina and Xenovia looked confused.
"Issei, what are you talking about?"
"When we were kids Irina, you thought I was a human. That's wrong. I was with my family on a business trip and I met you in a park. I asked my father if I could stay longer so we stayed in the human realm for longer. Irina, I was always a devil..."
"Oh… But I dont understand..."
"I'm not finished. Irina, the researcher family that Kokabiel had killed… that was my family." Issei said, sadness entering his eyes. "He had my mother and father killed and my parents work burned to the ground. Only I survived..."
"Oh Issei." Irina said, jumping up and giving Issei a big hug who gave it back.
"So, now that I know… I will be taking the fight to Kokabiel… and I will end his life. I will squeeze the life out of him with my own two hands." Issei said, walking out of the dining room to the glass dome, obviously to make his plans.
Rias nodded and looked at the two exorcists. "You can help us if you wish, but I will have to help Issei get through this… and this includes helping you Kiba. We are going to get revenge for your comrades." Rias said with a big smile.
Kiba looked at Rias with shock.
"I didn't forget about your plight… and with Issei going to fight Kokabiel… You can kill Valper."
"Rias… T-Thank you."
"Don't thank me… Thank Issei. If it wasn't for Issei, I wouldn't have went against Kokabiel."
Kiba nodded quickly and happily.
In the glass dome, Issei was surrounded by his dinosaur friends.
"I found those responsible for my parents deaths."
The dinosaurs looked all shocked and happy at the same time.
"I know who is responsible and he is in this town. I am going to fight and kill him and everyone that is working with the fallen angel. Do you guys want to come with me and help me?"
They all looked at him like he's an idiot.
"Sorry sorry. I should have known better." Issei said with a sheepish grin. Alright… good. Dinner will be on them tonight… or will be them." Issei corrected himself.
The day was so quick from start to finish. First thing in the morning, he was tortured by his friends, had his peerage taken over by Rias, Ravel and Isabela joined up in the peerage as well as Rias's pawns, though it should be his, then Irina came back into his life and now he has to fight Kokabiel. Issei had a lot more trouble ahead of him, as women were always causing trouble but these troubles are usually good as Issei would find out tonight.
Read. Review. Moo.
Next chapter WILL be a small lemon or maybe a large one? I dunno but a lemon of some sort. Now, I think ill have the girl by Rias by maybe you guys could choose one out of the PEERAGE to be the girl for the lemon. Only one girl. No threesome. Just one.
Now, the girl who gets the most votes wins. NOW VOTE!
