Hello again, Shiwft Sitri here with the 9th Chapter of the AoS and PoD. I missed this place after 20 days lol. I watched Sword Art Online again during these 20 days, and I am disappointed, they ruined the anime after 14th episode. Sao had so much potential in Aincrad Arc. Anyways let's get started, I DON'T OWN HIGHSCHOOL DXD OR CHARACTERS FROM OTHER ANIMES, I ONLY OWN MY OC'S.
Also, I am sorry for the delay, I was too exhausted from the 3-day vacation I had. But I am sure it is worth for waiting.

Chapter 9-) Fried Chicken
1 Month Time-Skip
It was one month after their Date and confronting Vali's father, everything was working perfectly fine, maybe too fine, for them. Vali quickly adapted to the situation, her abilities on Holy Magic was promising, she can create her own skills now. If she works hard for a year she would be able to match with a high-class devil. On Kirin's condition, he was struggling a bit, because his teacher was Akame and he can't bring himself to fight serious against her unlike Vali, who was wasn't holding back against Issei on their spars. This unnerved Akame a bit, but she knew he couldn't fight against her and she oftenly let him spar with Arthur. Against Arthur, Kirin could push Arthur to use his %15, which was slightly above mid-low-class devil, with enough training he can match with Arthur. Kuroka oftenly teaches Vali to use her Ki, being an Angel, she can access to Ki. Vali learnt basics of Ki like empowering her abilities, and covering her whole body with a Ki armor, but she needs to work hard to master. Right now, Vali was inspecting the sleeping side of Issei with a loving gaze, she was on her silver bra and panties. He looked so peaceful and cute when he was sleeping, he had a smile on his face. She remembered he was stressed recently and caressed his cheek, especially he was so stressed and restless when they contacted to the Crimson Satan and got his approval for rescuing Rias and sealed the deal between them.
-Flashback Start-
One week after their date, Issei wasn't coming to their room on nights or leaves after he makes sure she is asleep, she oftenly finds him asleep on Azazel's desk on his lab on their home and carries him back to their bed. It concerned Vali a lot, she wondered why was keeping him from sleeping. That night was one of them, it was 1 a.m. and she was waiting for him, she grew tired from waiting and called Albion.
'Albion, You here?' She got a groan in reply.
"[*Yawn* Yes, what do you need Vali]" She felt bad for waking Albion.
'Sorry to interrupt your sleep Albion, but I want to speak with you' He can understand from her voice, she was upset for some reason. He mentally raised an eyebrow.
"[Don't worry Vali, what are partners for, now say. Is it about your heritage or Issei, did he make you upset? Do I need to teach him a lesson?]" She giggled, Albion switched to his daddy mode. He oftenly does this when they spoke about Issei.
'It is about Issei but before you do anything he didn't do something; Maybe I am just overreacting. He isn't sleeping on the nights, I usually find him asleep on Azazel's lab. Do you know what he is up to?' He got curious as well.
"[I don't know Vali, but If you are asking me to what to do. I say go to downstairs and make him spill]" She slapped her forehead, why didn't she think of that.
'Thank you, Albion' She quickly got up and wore her silver-nightgown and went to the downstairs, where Azazel's lab is.
She rubbed her eyes on the way and continued, when she arrived she heard voices of Issei speaking with someone, she got curious and slowed her tracks. She peaked through door, and there was Issei wearing Azazel's Brown trench coat and black jeans with a red plain shirt, his hair was visibly messed up, he had a calm look and a forced smile on his face, he was leaning to a wall near the desk. The other one was a man with Crimson hair and blue eyes, she, at first, thought the man was Ddraig until she saw his eyes. He was radiating a powerful and dangerous aura, like Issei he had a calm and composed look on his eyes but his smile was genuine. Other one was a woman with Silver hair and red eyes, she was wearing a white-blue French maid outfit, she had a stern look on her face, like the other man this woman was emitting a dangerous but calm aura. Vali decided to listen their conversation, the man with Crimson hair begun.
"Why did you call me here Lucifer, do you want to settle scores between us? do you want to get my queen/wife from me?" The man asked with a smirk, only to get a pinch from the Silver haired maid. Issei grinned and shook his head.
"No, I think I said to you I found my queen 12 years ago." Vali inwardly smiled, he was determined to make her, his queen. The crimson haired man's smirk got bigger and turned into a mischievous smile.
"Who might it be?" Issei adopted a serious look on his face.
"None of your concern Sirzechs Gremory" His voice turned to cold but he said the last part in a playful voice. The now named Sirzechs frowned but remained silent nonetheless. Silver haired maid stepped in front of her master/husband and coughed into her hand, this action gained both of the men's attention.
"I don't want to interrupt your little talk, but my master doesn't have time, ruling the Underworld takes his whole spare time. So, I want you to rush things Lucifer-Sama." The silver haired maid said in a serious but polite tone. This got Vali's attention, the man in front of them was one of the 4 Maou. Issei sighed and turned into his serious mode.
"Sirzechs, I know you for 5 years. We are alike, You and I have people to protect and love, I still remember our first spar, which you mope the floor with my face. I know you are a Sis-con. You'll do everything to protect her from the harm, like I would do to my future queen. You love Rias more than you love yourself, I can clearly tell you are not happy the fact she is marrying someone she even doesn't know." Issei stated with a serious but a sympathetic look.
"You are right, I am not happy to give her someone doesn't love her and treat her like nobody. But why are you saying this to me, are you planning to do something to Rias or her fiancée?" The Crimson haired Maou flared his powers. Vali gasped at the amount of power he was releasing, and her action got everyone's attention of the room. The silver haired maid turned to the door and created an ice spear and sent it to the point where Vali was standing. Issei quickly went after the spear and activated a barrier and ceased the strongest queen's attack with ease, he opened the door and saw Vali was standing here on her knees. He cast a quick look on Sirzechs, who nodded back, and held Vali's hand and guided her into the room. Issei glared at The Gremory maid and sighed.
"Next time you are going to attack someone in my house, at least get my approval Grayfia Lucifuge" He said with a cold voice, but it had authority in it. The now named Grayfia bowed towards Vali and Issei.
"I am very sorry for my actions, I hope you can forgive me for what I did" Sirzechs turned to Issei and glanced at Vali, who was behind Issei and looking over his shoulder, with a raised eyebrow. Sirzechs got curious, who was this woman and how can she hid her presence to the point even his wife, who is the strongest queen of the Underworld, can't detect.
"Ah Issei, who is this beautiful and sneaky lady behind you?" At this statement Vali buried his head in Issei's back embarrassed, Issei chuckled and squeezed Vali's hand with his left one. He looked at her with a smile and turned to the Satan Lucifer.
"Ahem, this is Valiana, the underworld strongest queen in the future, also my queen-to be. Her condition is the matter why I wanted to speak with you. I can't hide things from her, can I. You know that more than me Sirzechs" Issei stated with a grin, Grayfia and Sirzechs eyes widened at the statement of the strongest queen. Vali was clearly shocked about what he said, not the strongest queen part but her condition, what he meant with it.
"I will get straight to the point Sirzechs and Grayfia, do you want to save Rias from her engagement with Riser Phenex?" Issei asked with a serious voice, Grayfia and Sirzechs looked each other and nodded.
"As much as I want to save my Sister-in-law from that sick pervert, there is nothing we could do, you know the traditions of the elders, and we are no exception Issei." Grayfia exclaimed with sadness in her voice.
"Don't even tell me the traditions of the elders, I experienced them on the first hand from that sick bastard" Issei spat angrily with venom in his voice, his irises changed into the reptilians and raised his powers uncontrollably, Vali saw this and immediately squeezed his hand while whispering a song to his ear, successfully calming him. Sirzechs saw the effect of Vali on Issei and grinned inwardly. He was curious, she wasn't releasing a powerful aura and she wasn't looking strong physically, sure she has a stunning beauty, but that wouldn't help in battles and rating games. He can't help but wonder why he wanted her as his queen that much.
"I have a deal to you Sirzechs, we both gain things from this, you get Rias out from her engagement while I get Valiana to my peerage." Issei stated with a wide grin.
"Explain" Sirzechs grinned as well, Issei had a sadistic grin on his face, while Sirzechs' one was a knowing grin. The look on Issei's face creeped both of the women.
"It is so basic actually, I'll get that fried chicken angry and make him fight with me over Rias' hand in marriage, if he doesn't get into my trap. I'll crush the engagement and get Rias from here. Any questions?" They looked at Issei with shocked faces but Sirzechs knew that wasn't the end of their conversation.
"I get it, but there is something bothering me. Why aren't you making her a devil, looks from her aura I can clearly tell she is a human, so why are you asking my help to get her into your peerage, you are hiding something very big from us." Sirzechs seriously said with a cold look in his face, Issei chuckled and nodded. He turned to the Vali and whispered her ear.
"Vali, I know I want something selfish with asking this. But can you show your Normal wings and make sure Divine Dividing won't come out, we are going to keep it as a secret as much as possible. They will target you immediately when they know you are the Hakuryuukou. So, can you trust me in this?" He asked innocently and a smile on his face, Vali quickly nodded and got in front of Issei. Her act got attention of Crimson Satan and The Strongest Queen, she spread her arms and let her wings come out. 8 silvery-white wings with black dots on them, Grayfia quickly got into the Battle stance while preparing her magic circles, only to be stopped by Sirzechs, who had a grin on his face.
"So, she is an Angel and you want to keep it. But you and I too know A devil can't be in a relationship with an Angel, I am sure you remember what happened to Cleria Belial and Exorcist Masaomi Yaegaki when they tried to get into a relationship. Elders and the Church ordered both of their executions." Sirzechs explained with a grin on his face, he knew that is not going to stop him from making her his queen. Issei chuckled darkly and raised his powers the ground shook violently and it affected both of the queens.
"Did you forget who I am Sirzechs Lucifer, let them come. Even If that means I need to erase devil race from the existence, I will make her my queen, no matter what. They abandoned me from my home, and I am still willingly to make things for them, they need to be more grateful or do I need to obliterate some of them to acknowledge my existence" He continued to raise his powers as Sirzechs shivered and Vali started to sweat and have difficulties on breathing, when Issei saw this he quickly re-sealed his powers and hugged Vali onto his chest while stroking her seemingly endless silver hair gently. Sirzechs broke out on a laughter and wiped a tear from his face.
"One moment you are one of the scariest and strongest man alive and the other one you are the most romantic and kind one. Send me an invitation on your wedding Issei, I will be there." Sirzechs jokingly said as his queen pinched his cheek, when Issei realized they were in front of the deadliest duo of the underworld. He blushed and quickly parted away from Vali, with a crimson face. Vali was the other hand pouted cutely from the connection loss, her desires for him were greatly increased after the marking. Oh, she couldn't wait to pound him onto their bed after all of this.
"S-shut up, I am not the one who is the 7th strongest being and fears from his wife for his own life" Issei said with a crimson face, soon he felt a pain on his left cheek. When he turned to his left he spotted Vali who furled her wings and looking at him with a dangerously sweet smile with closed eyes. Issei shivered from fear and looked at her with a scared face.
"Is that so? you are saying that you are not scared from the things I can do. It looks like I need to be more active over you. You are going to sleep on the couch for a week Issei Lucifer, this is your punishment." She said it on a cold voice. Issei had a shocked look on his face and quickly knelt in front of her and held her hand and used his most dangerous weapon he ever discovered to use against Vali. Puppy eyes!
"Pweaaaaase, I can't bear sleeping on the couch. I am not even sleeping for a week and I was going to have a peaceful sleep with you finally, Pweaaaaase don't do this to meeee" He admitted he wasn't sleeping for a week, but Vali wasn't going to go down easily. She shook her head and looked at him sternly, his eyes watered and he murmured something like 'You are so cruel'. She giggled and looked at the duo in front of them, who was watching the whole action with smiles on their faces.
"Don't you think we were like them when we were young Grayfia, you'd punish me and I would find a way to get in that bed" He said with a nostalgic look on his face, his wife nodded at him. Issei got up and wiped the fake tears on his face, then continued.
"Are you going to accept or do I need to bribe you?" Issei said with a half-serious tone, The Satan Lucifer looked at him thoughtfully and nodded.
"Of course, there is nothing I want more than Rias' happiness and I know she is not going to be happy with that man as her husband for a lifetime. I am asking this last time, are you sure to do this?" Issei looked at him nodded then added.
"I want my Specific Angelic-Queen Piece right after I get Rias from the Engagement, The same night. I trust you and Beelzebub will make things easier for both of us" Issei stated with a genuine smile on his face first time on the entire conversation. Sirzechs and Grayfia nodded at them and left with a Bright-Red magic circle that belongs to the House of Gremory.
After they left Issei made his way to the desk and sat to the chair, leaned and let out a yawn. Vali was watching him carefully, is he thinking to go back whatever he is doing after the whole night. She looked at her watch, it was 2 a.m. they chatted for a straight hour. She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard someone snapped his fingers and looked at Issei, who was in front of her and looking at her with sleepy eyes.
"It is getting late Vali, go to the bed, it is not good to your health if you don't sleep enough" She can see the worry on his eyes clearly, but it was ironic, he didn't even think of himself while saying this.
"And what, let you here and collect you in the morning again. I am not moving anywhere before I get my answers" Issei sighed, he knew she would suspect him and nodded.
"Okay, what do you want to know Vali?" He tiredly said with a smile on his face, every smile he gave to her was genuine and not forced, even he is stressed.
"Why?" She asked with a cracked voice, she was tired of it. He was keeping secrets and overworking himself to a degree of non-sleeping, it pained her.
"Why what Vali?" He asked without knowing what was coming. She buried her face in his chest and hit his chest repeatedly.
"Why are you overworking yourself, why are you keeping secrets from me, why are you trying to do good things to someone like me, I am not even- "He silenced her and stroked her hair gently.
"Because I love you" It was simple and easy.
"W-what" He cupped her cheeks and looked in her very soul, his loving and caring gaze piercing her doubts and making her weak at the knees. He placed his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes.
"I am doing these things because I love you. I may be the 6th strongest being but strength means nothing without a purpose. I am nothing without you, I can't bear the thought of losing you, you are the solely reason why I am living, I lost everything I had in a young age Vali, and it was devastating. I was filled with rage and sorrow, if Azazel hadn't found me in that day on the forest, I would have completely lost my mind. Even after Azazel got me into Grigori I hadn't changed, I was trying to get more powerful for something I can't achieve in that condition, because I hadn't had a goal after defeating Rizevim. I am eternally grateful to Azazel, because he really made me to come to my senses. I was originally planning to serve as Agent of Grigori after I defeat Rizevim, but then I met with you and you destroyed my purpose and created anew. Around you I feel calm and refreshed, like nothing could bother me whenever I am with you. So, Vali can you understand why I am working really hard, I want to protect you. Vali, you don't know what is going on behind the shadows, new alliances are made and new foes are rising to power, I and Azazel were monitoring them for a long time and they are getting prepared. A huge war in the Supernatural is going to happen, and I don't want to be weak to protect my family. How I can look Aunt Hinami's and Uncle Ren's eyes if they heard I wasn't strong enough to protect you?" He asked with his signature smile on his face.
He heard Vali's sobbing onto his shoulder and got up, while carrying her bridal style. When they arrived their room, he placed Vali onto the bed while wiping her tears and kissed her forehead then he got up, only to be stopped by Vali, who caught his wrist and looking at him confusingly.
"Where are you going, don't tell me you are going to continue what are you doing in the Lab" He sheepishly scratched behind his head and replied.
"Well… don't you remember you forbid me from this bed for a week?" She looked him and giggled, she used her strength and pulled him from his wrist and pinned him to the bed. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"I don't remember saying such a thing, I am sure you misheard what I said, I said I am forbidding you to got out from this bed for a week" He looked at her and a light bulb appeared above his head.
"Hey Vali"
"Hmm?"
"I thought something only you can do, want to hear?" The silver haired beauty looked the boy next to her and nodded.
"Can you cocoon me with your fluffy, soft and unbelievably smooth wings while we sleep?" He childishly asked with an uncharacteristic voice, she giggled and unfurled her wings again and commanded them to wrap Issei, when she finished with her work she felt Issei was stroking her wing's feathers carefully, not wanting to hurt her. When she turned towards him he captured her lips in a quick kiss, when they parted both were exhausted and felt the need of O2, she rested her head on his shoulder and whispered.
"Good Night my Ise" She emphasized 'my Ise' part, he smiled and closed his eyes.
"Good Night my Queen"
-Flashback End-
She smiled upon remembering what happened after that night, she really didn't let him work on his research for an entire week saying she needed him right beside her, she poked his cheek in an attempt to wake him up from his slumber, today was Monday and they had school and damn, it was a good sunny day. He groaned and opened his eyes and caught the sight of Vali staring at him, he smiled and closed his eyes again in an attempt to sleep again, only to be poked again. He opened his eyes and yawned, then he rubbed his eyes and looked at Vali again, who was giggling. He looked at his phone and saw time was 6 a.m. deciding it was still early he thought something naughty and turned to face with Vali.
"Good morning, Sleep well?" Vali asked with her own smile, needlessly to say he became addicted her bright smile, it was so strong but kind and gentle, made him forget everything he has in his mind and stare at her like she was a goddess, deciding it was enough he left his thoughts and looked at her.
"It was one of the best I had in a while, thanks to you." He smiled.
"What we are doing today, besides going school" Vali said with a thinking face and a hand on her chin, Issei decided it was time and pinned her to the bed, he was on top of her and held her wrists on his left hand.
"You are a little forward today eh, Ise?" Vali said with a seductive smile, but his intention wasn't claiming her here and now.
"I don't have any idea what you are talking about Vali, I just want to have a little fun" With that he began to tickle her, she, at first, began to giggle but that blown into a full laugh. He was smirking, who knew a semi-goddess's vulnerable point was tickling.
"Ha... Ah… Hah… Hah…. S-stop it I ...Haaah… Issei "She closed her eyes and resumed laughing, Issei's grin widened as he tickled faster and made sure he was hitting the right spots.
"Who knew daughter of a seraph likes to be tickled by a Devil, Lucifer no less"
"D-don't Say it like that, I-It's embarrassing "He resumed his assault and her eyes watered from laughing. He quickly wiped her tears before they get out and continued.
"Haaaaaaa…. Ah... I'm feel Ha… I am going to Ha... Ha... die, stop" Vali managed to stutter a few things, deciding it was enough he stopped and looked at her with a big grin on his face. Then it turned into a smile and he rested his head on the pillow.
"You know, I am still shocked about the fact I am in-love with a goddess" He said like she was something else compared to him and his smile turned into a sad one. Vali noticed but remained silent, she smiled and brought his head on her shoulder, hugging him effectively.
"I don't know it is necessary to say but, you are not in-love with a goddess. She is in with you" Vali said in a tone that melt his doubts, he silently and weakly nodded and buried his face on her shoulder.
-Flashback Start-
Issei and Vali were returning from their date, they weren't going back to their home, Vali remembered Azazel's words and they were going to Vali's parents house, and she was anxious for some reason she didn't understand, what was she going to do when her father answered her questions? Issei saw her discomfort and held her left hand in his hand and gave it a comforting squeeze. Vali turned to him and saw he was also like her, anxious and uneasy. She realized his hands were wet a bit, he probably sweated from the anxiousness. She gave him a smile, like saying that everything is going to be fine with one smile, and she made him smile too.
"Hey Vali"
"Yes"
"Are you - "She cut what he was saying.
"Worried and Anxious? A bit actually. I don't have to but I don't know what is going on and it makes me wonder, what they hide from me for 17 years and how come Azazel knows what is going on" He chuckled lightly and tightened his grip on her hand.
"We are talking about Azazel, he probably made your father drunk and Uncle Ren slipped one of those nights" She giggled, she clearly remembers what happens when their fathers got drunk. Hell, even one time Her father said he wants Issei as his son-in-law and Azazel didn't let it go for almost a year, embarrassing the dark-silver haired boy further.
"Your father corrupted mine's, my papa wasn't even someone who drinks until he met with your father" She teasingly said and hit his shoulder, he raised an eyebrow and smirked understanding what she was trying to do.
"Ooh, says the daughter who wants to make neighbor's child her pet and hug them until they die" He said it with a mischievous smile, her face turned to crimson and she steamed out of her ears.
"I-It's not funny" She pouted and folded her arms under her chest, looking away from him. He laughed and in a second, he picked her up bridal style. She became embarrassed and freaked out.
"W-wha" He picked up the pace and started running. She didn't understand what was going on and felt warm on his arms, when she looked at him she found he was smiling, his hair was dancing with the wind.
"You were so slow and I want to get there as soon as possible, I have work to do and Plus, I found you look cute when you are flustered, Vali-chan." He said with a smile, embarrassed the silver haired maiden more. She heard the other people were talking about them.
"They are talking about us" She whispered but he shrugged and widened his smile if that is possible.
"Are they? I can't hear them. Even if they let them be, I am sure they are either jealous of you or me" She was so sure he was acting but she let him be and closed her eyes snuggling onto his strong but gentle touching arms. Soon they stopped and she reopened her eyes, they were in front of a park, one that she recognized. That park was the one they played together when they were child.
"It is sure nostalgic, isn't it Vali-chan" She felt her memories reappear and nodded, she felt happy to come here with Issei again. She pointed the forest, which was 100 meters far from their place.
"Do you remember what happened there 9 years ago, Ise" She said with a bright smile but he decided to play with her a bit.
"What happened? My mind is a bit fuzzy. Can you tell me what happened in that forest 9 years ago?" He asked with a confused face, she looked at him incredulously and nodded.
"I was confessed by a dark-silver haired boy, but I rejected him saying that I have nothing to do with losers like him. You had to see the look on his face when I said that, he left there crying" She said with a fake-frown on her face.
"You are so cruel, you know that, even if you are going to reject him say that in a polite manner. I am disappointed Vali-chan" He said it with a fake-discomfort on his face, but inside he was laughing his ass.
'[Issei, I don't like to be a killjoy but we don't have enough time to chat, you still need to go to Azazel and extract a bit holy energy from him for that Sword]' Ddraig reminded him, Sekiryuutei nodded mentally and returned to the Hakuryuukou, who was enjoying the warmth of her lover.
"Come on Vali, we still need to go to your house" With that he began to sprint, but this time Vali didn't freak out and remained silent. After a couple of minutes, they arrived Vali's house, it was still the same he remembered. He placed Vali on her feet and looked at her, she wasn't anxious anymore, he looked at her one last time and pressed the doorbell, then a woman in her early forties opened the door, the woman had White hair and Green eyes. She was wearing a simple white dress, her hair was reaching to her waist, unlike her daughter, whom hair was reaching to her knees in normal situations. They immediately recognized the woman, it was Vali's mother and Issei's Aunt Hinami. She smiled brightly at them, Vali literally leaped at the Green-eyed woman.
"Mama!" She exclaimed happily while hugging the woman tightly, Hinami wrapped her hands around his daughter's waist. Then she glanced at Issei, who was observing the whole action with a sad smile on his face but shook it off.
"Ah Issei, are you not happy to see your mother-in-law?" Hinami asked with a teasing smile, Issei felt his cheeks burning and furiously shook his head, earning a giggle from the old woman.
"Why don't you two come inside, Ren is here too" She happily exclaimed, while Vali was dragged Issei inside. They spotted the brown-haired man was sitting on the living room with a newspaper on his hands while sipping his tea, Ren immediately broke a happy smile on his face as soon as he spotted the couple on the room. Vali tackled her father to the ground, gaining a laughter from the old man. Ren patted his daughter's back and they got up. Issei bowed in front of the old man as a sign of respect, Ren put his hand on Issei's shoulder, making the younger man look up.
"There is no need to be so formal Issei, feel yourself at your home. It is partially yours after all" The brown-haired angel smirked. Issei lost his cool after so much teasing and exhaled deeply, today was gonna be a long day.
"I am preparing tea, it looks like you are here to discuss something important" Hinami said, making the younger duo nod. When she got into Kitchen Vali began.
"Dad, I am here to get answers. I hope you are prepared" Vali said with a serious voice. The older man raised an eyebrow and nodded.
"Let me guess, that old man or Albion said something about me and you are here" He said so suddenly and that made Vali blink and nod. Issei was curious about what they were talking about. Ren inhaled and begun.
"My dear, do you know who the Scourge of God is?" Vali nodded.
"Attila, was it? He is the one who wiped the Romanian empires army and the one who invaded Rome and made Pope, Leo the First, beg to not invade Italy. What about him?" Vali was confused, why her father asked about things like that. Ren shook his head and got up from his seat.
"This is true for human's world, but in Heaven Scourge of God is someone different, someone who can't fall, someone who won't hesitate to claim a life for his god, someone who deemed as a failure, the only angel can have conversation with God from the Bible directly besides 4 Great Seraphs. The only being on the Heavens who has endless bloodlust." Ren said with a nostalgic look on his face, and that only confused her.
"There is an Angel with inability to fall besides you and me?" The Brown-Haired angel facepalmed, his daughter can be a dummy sometimes.
"No, no. There aren't any angels who can't fall besides us" He decided showing would be more effective and transformed into his true form. When the light went down, there was Ren Hyoudou, but with a way different look. His hair changed blonde from brown, his eyes remained the same Hazel. His face lost all of the wrinkle comes from the old age. He was younger and radiating a very powerful aura, Issei started to have difficulties on breathing and raised his own powers instinctly to protect himself from the Angel. He had 12 wings, 8 of them were golden and the rest of them were still silver with dark dots on them. On his back there was a Golden Ultra Greatsword, like him it was emitting a dangerously high holy aura. Ren reopened his eyes and looked directly at Issei, with bloodlust on his eyes. He reached his back to draw his sword and exorcise the demon right here, only to be stopped by Vali, who had a serious look on his eyes.
"What are you trying to do Dad, are you going to Exorcise Issei?" Ren snapped out of his trance and locked his powers once again and casted a look on Issei. Who was shocked about the power he saw and had a challenging look on his face. Even if he was one of the strongest beings, he can clearly say Ren has a terrifying amount of Holy power, enough to Exorcise him if he can defeat Issei on a deathmatch, which is itself a very hard task to do.
"I am sorry Issei, this side of me something I can't control. I hope you can forgive me" Ren said in an apologetic voice, Issei shook his head and looked at Vali.
"Dad, is your real name is Ren?" Ren shook his head.
"My real name is Renault, The Scourge of God. I am one of the 5 spawns of God along with the 4 Great Seraphs but unlike them I am semi-god and I am also a seraph, I inherited some of the divine powers of God" Vali and Issei were shocked, he was a half-god. Vali shook her head and asked the next question.
"Then why did they consider you as a failure?" Vali couldn't understand, why did they call him as a failure, why he was on the earth in first place.
"It is a very long story my dear and we don't have enough time, but not everyone was happy about my situation, think about it. I was the third strongest being in the heaven, and I couldn't fall add it the fact I have very high bloodlust. They feared I would go out of control someday, even in the Great War they didn't trust me and sent me to the death missions, hoping I could die and they would get rid of me. It is fear and jealousy my little Angel, I even managed to fight Stalemate with Albion albeit he was injured and couldn't use his full power. Even If they are angels, they felt jealousy. I was the only angel who can speak with the God himself with a Unique way. After the Great War, God was extremely exhausted and went into a deep slumber, they used the situation at their advantage and casted me away from the Heaven, but he is still controlling the Heaven I think" Renault said with a fake-curious voice, he couldn't tell them God died with the 4 Yondai Maou. Issei decided to ask a question.
"So, Uncle Ren, you are a part-god. Does that mean Vali is a semi-goddess?" At this question Vali looked at her father, who had a smile on his face.
"Yes, Vali is %50 Angel and %50 Human. She gained her Longinus from her human side and being a descendant of me, she is able to tap my powers, and some of my powers are directly comes from the God from the Bible. She is %25 goddess, and her potential is much stronger than mines. I am already at my peak but I have thousand years of experience, with enough training she can become one of the strongest beings and surpassing you Issei" Issei nodded but inside he was upset, not about the fact she was a goddess or she is going to surpass him, it was something else. Vali looked at her father and asked her next question.
"Am I going to have golden wings like you dad?" She asked curiously, her father nodded and closed the gap between them.
"You already have a pair Vali" Vali was going to ask how then her father put his index finger on her forehead and focused his powers, effectively breaking the seal he put on her when she born. A pair of golden wings spurted from her back, then another pair of golden wings come out, but they were Divine Dividing's energy wings, the metal part of Divine Dividing was golden but the feather part was still blue. Issei and Vali looked at awe at the new sight.
"Albion, what is this?" Vali asked the White Dragon, who was wide awake after what happened.
"[Sacred Gears evolves by the host's condition; do you remember what happened to Issei's pawn. His Longinus evolved into a sub-species one, this situation is exactly same but your Longinus isn't evolved yet, it is only a change in look. Oh, it is good to see you again Renault]" Albion explained and greeted his other rival who could fight stalemate with him, there are a few beings he couldn't obliterate and the brown-haired Angel was one of them.
"Same here Albion, I am sure Vali is going to be a great host to you" Renault said with a smile, Albion laughed and replied.
"[I am also sure about that, but I would prefer if she wasn't in love with her Rival. I am one hundred percent sure she would obliterate Issei like it was the easiest thing to do]" After Albion said that A Crimson Gauntlet with black strings formed on Issei's left hand.
"[I wouldn't be so sure if I were you Albion, my host already mastered Boosted Gear. He even made Boosted Gear into a Sub-Species Longinus and he is currently mastering your little Divine Dividing. No matter how hard she tries, she couldn't reach to his level. He is already 6th strongest being, and grows stronger each day, not like your host who is laid back]" Ddraig stated strongly, Issei was so sure Ddraig was smirking after he said that. Ren raised an Eyebrow at the little Divine Dividing part.
"What did Sekiryuutei meant with mastering Divine Dividing?" Issei hit Boosted Gear with his Right arm, earning an 'Ouch' from the Red Dragon Emperor and Scratched behind his head.
"I um… I am able to use Albion's signature powers" He sheepishly said, The Seraph's curiosity got bigger and asked again.
"Can you explain how?" Issei sighed and walked towards Ren and Activated Divine Booster.
"[4th Liberation: Divine Booster Activate]" Ddraig's voice boomed through the house, and Issei enveloped by a Red light, when the light died down. Renault spotted something different on Issei, His Gauntlet covered his entire arm and made a jewel on his heart, but it wasn't the biggest deal. On Issei's back there was one pair of energy wings, it was exactly the same with Divine Dividing, but the metal part was Crimson and feathers were Jade, he tapped Ren's shoulder.
"[Divide]" The seraph felt weak all of a sudden, but it wasn't normal, he only felt like that when he was against Albion in Great War. He clearly understood what he meant by using Albion's powers. He nodded at Issei and sat again.
"[Transfer]" The Seraph felt his lost power coming back to him, Issei dismissed Divine Booster and began to breathe deeply, soon he collapsed at his knees.
"Issei! Are you okay?" Vali had a worried look on her face, when she tried to reach at him he shook his head and got up, while wiping the sweat on his face.
"I thought you can hold this mode for 20 minutes" Issei nodded and continued.
"I can, activating doesn't cost anything and I won't feel strain for 20 minutes, but deactivating costs too much, when the whole strength leaves me in a moment it makes me exhausted, this is why I am continuing to practice in this mode, if I can avoid the exhaustion I will finally master the power of Heavenly Dragons" She can see the determination on his eyes and nodded. Issei remembered something and opened his mouth.
"Vali, I want to speak with Uncle Ren personally, can you go and help Aunt Hinami?" She looked at him suspiciously but nodded and exited the room, Issei shakily walked and sat into the couch across the table, he was looking at Renault in the eyes. Issei's eyes soon locked in his lap, he was still shaking.
"Why did you want to talk with me Issei, is it about my daughter?" The Seraph said with curiosity in his voice, Issei weakly nodded and begun.
"Am I worthy?" He quietly said, not looking the old man in the eyes, he stopped shaking. Renault didn't understand what he was implying.
"Can you repeat what were you saying Issei?" The Silver-Haired boy nodded.
"Am I worthy enough?" There was doubt in his voice, Brown-haired Seraph understood what he was trying to say.
"Are you trying to say you are not worthy for Valiana?" Issei nodded and continued.
"Everytime I think about that my insecurity rises, she is an Angel, a creation of god, something I can't ever thought of being, unlike me she has a bright childhood, unlike me she has a family, unlike me she is looking at her future brightly. I thought she was being with me because she pities me and I am still thinking like that. And now I learnt she is semi-goddess. I don't know what you are thinking about me Uncle Ren, but I don't think I am worthy enough for being with her, yes, I may be strong. But I don't think I can make her happy actually" He stressfully said while bowing. He looked the old man in front of him, who was shaking his head and a smile on his face. He got up and put his hand in Issei's shoulder, Issei looked to the man in front of him.
"Issei, do you know what Vali was doing before you and Azazel came here 12 years ago?" Issei blinked and shook his head, The Seraph made him sit and got back to his seat.
"Issei, before you come with Azazel in the first place. My daughter was so upset and depressed, she couldn't make any friends. Because of the strange aura she had around her, Now, I believe this was because of Albion's dragon aura made everybody fear from her, because I locked her divine powers, only leaving amount of she can protect herself. I couldn't find the reason why everybody was afraid of her, you know normally she had to become a human magnet because of her angelic aura around her. Do you know when she first smiled Issei, the first time she actually smiled was the time you asked her to become her friend. You made her realize she wasn't something inhuman, she was only a child. Do you know what she did to me when I said her to stop befriending with you because you were a devil. She didn't talk with me for a week, saying that she doesn't need a father who doesn't want his child's happiness. She eventually made me give a chance to you, and I am happy that she made. You may not know but me and Azazel were resumed our drinking night's even after you left for training. Azazel told me everything about you, like who you are, how he found you, who is your real father, and why you decided to leave for training. Me and your biological father knew ourselves from the Great War, I am sure he was the only devil I couldn't exorcise. The True Morning Star, he really deserved that nickname. So, my child, you may have insecurities, everybody has. You may think you are not worthy, but I don't think you are not worthy, even if you are not worthy than no one is worthy to be with my daughter. I don't mind you are a devil Issei, in fact I am happy that my daughter has nothing to do with that backstabbing bastards. Devils may be our enemies, but they were at least fair on battle." The Hazel-Eyed Seraph finished his speech, he spat the last part with venom in his voice. Issei was shocked but smiled and nodded. He bowed the man in front of him.
"I am sorry for doubting myself Uncle, I promise I won't let you down and I will make her Happy as possible" Issei said with a genuine smile, Then Vali burst into the room, with an angry look on her face, tears streaming down on her pale cheeks. She was shaking from the anger.
"Issei Lucifer, what did I said to you and what are you doing. Didn't I said to you doubting yourself is forbidden. I hate you, I really hate you" Issei quickly went to her side and buried her face in his chest, letting her cry her heart out. She cursed him while hitting his chest repeatedly, when she stopped she looked at Issei's face, he was smiling at her.
"I hate you, but I can't stay mad at you, at least not when you have that stupid smile on your face" He chuckled and Hinami got inside.
-Flashback End-
She looked at her phone and saw it was 6:45, She shook Issei, who got up and checked his watch and saw the time. He quickly got up and offered a hand at the silver haired maiden.
"We do have enough time to bath, how about coming to the bath with me m'lady" She blushed at the milady part and nodded.
The bath went eventless today as well, with Vali washing Issei's back with her Breasts, much to his joy. They quickly wore their Kuoh academy uniform and went to the kitchen and saw the swordsman duo waiting them here, with Kirin cooking their breakfast and Akame making their bento's. They made a schedule, everyone going to school was making bento's and breakfast's each day, today was Akame's and Kirin's turn. They quickly finished their breakfast, Issei looked at his watch, they had 20 minutes before the school starts, Kirin offered Akame a hand and they got out the building together, Issei did the same and caught them.
"Kirin, how is your training going?" The Black-haired boy looked at his master.
"It is okay I think, I still can't spar with Akame but I can force Arthur-san to use his %15" Issei nodded and locked arms with Vali, Akame did the same with Kirin. After a while Akame whispered something to Kirin's left ear, he blushed but nodded, Kirin stopped and knelt, Akame adjusted her skirt and Kirin lifted her over his shoulders. He shot a look at Issei and smirked.
"See ya at School" with that Kirin sprinted from here.
Line Break
Issei and Vali were on their class, waiting for bell to ring. Issei glanced at Kirin, who gave up and tried to sleep on Class. The classes were so boring on Monday, Issei couldn't decide if it was Monday syndrome or something else, after a minute Akeno Himejima appeared like an Angel.
"Issei Kadoya, Akame Kadoya, Valiana Hyoudou and Kirin Saitou. My buchou wants to speak with you and it is urgent" They looked at the Class teacher, who nodded back. They quickly got up and sprinted from the class. They soon approached Occult Research Club's building and Issei's phone rang, he looked at the name and his eyes widened.
"Excuse me, it is someone I can't ignore" They nodded and got into the building, leaving Issei with Azazel.
When they got inside they spotted Rias, the Crimson-haired Ruin princess, sitting on her desk with an unpleasant smile on her face. Her face brightened when she saw them and it turned into a frown when she noted Issei wasn't there. Koneko was sitting on the sofa with a sweet bag on her petite hands her face was devoid from any emotion, Kiba was right beside the white-haired girl with a smile on his face.
"Where is Issei-kun?" Vali took a step forward and replied.
"He is currently outside, speaking with someone important on the phone, don't worry he'll come" Rias let out a relaxed sigh and closed her eyes. Kirin and Akame looked at each other and nodded, Kirin took a step forward and asked their question.
"I don't want to be rude Rias-san, but can you, at least, say why did you call us here" Rias opened her eyes and nodded with a smile on her face.
"Say, Saitou-kun. Do you know who is Riser Phenex" They shook their head, when Rias reopened her mouth a pillar of flame erupted from the ground.
"Phenex" The Petite girl stated emotionlessly, then a tall and handsome young man appeared from the place where the fire was, he had short blonde hair and dark-blue eyes. He was wearing a burgundy blazer with matching pants and black dress shoes, He had a white dress shirt that is not fully buttoned, giving a slight view to his chest.
"Ah, it is been a while since I came into human's world" He smirked upon seeing the Crimson-Haired girl.
"My lovely Rias, I came to see you" Then he glanced at the Silver-Haired Maiden, and he made a lecherous face.
"My my, who is this Rias. Is she a new servant of yours, I can't wait to have fun with her after we married" He closed the gap between him and the Hakuryuukou, and reached his hand, only to see it was gone. When he looked in front of him he spotted 1 blade to his neck and one to his heart. The Violet-eyed boy was eagerly waiting the Blonde man to make a move, his blade was emitting a high holy aura and he was pressing his blade to his neck. The other one was the Red-eyed killer, she was pointing her blade at his heart, her eyes turned into a predator's one.
"Who are you, and what are you trying to do the Riser Phenex!" He raised his voice, and saw the blade was very close to cut his throat.
"I am Kirin Saitou, wielder of Incinerate Anthem. The Pawn of Issei Kadoya, and the woman you are trying to reach is Valiana Hyoudou, my best friend and my queen. I won't hesitate to take a life for my queen's sake" Black-haired boy said with a cold voice. Then the Red-eyed beauty spoke.
"I am Akame Kadoya, sister to Issei Kadoya, and Knight of Issei Kadoya. Take one more step and I will show you why Murasame has the deadliest poison ever created" Her blade was emitting a demonic aura unlike her partner's. Riser Phenex was pissed, who was this Issei Kadoya.
"Who is this Issei Kadoya, I don't remember Kadoya as a devil family, I am sure he is one of the extra demons and alone that makes me more powerful than him, because I carry the original blood." Riser Phenex said with a smug smile. Akeno Himejima giggled.
"I won't be sure if I were you Riser-Sama. After all he isn't a Kadoya, is he Vali-chan" Akeno said with a smile on her face. Then someone knocked the door and got inside, it was a young man, He had Dark-silver hair and his eyes were closed. He was smiling.
"I am sorry Rias-san, I had to answer that phone call" Then he opened his eyes and caught the sight of Riser Phenex and the Swordsman duo. He blinked and tried to process what he was seeing. His face adopted a serious look.
"Akame, Kirin. What happened here" His voice was dead serious, Kirin began.
"This man 'tried' to touch our queen Issei-san" Then Akame Continued.
"I am sure he needs a lesson Issei-kun" She said it with a smile on his face. Issei smiled, but that smile was one that promised a lot of pain.
"Is that so, Then I can say you are someone who has a death-wish or a Phenex maybe" Riser was fuming angrily.
"Who are you, and are you insane, killing me is impossible little boy" Issei chuckled darkly.
"Oh, I am Issei but my last name is not needed. They call me Death's Incarnation on Grigori"
