Issei who was finished preparing the girl's room sat in the living room and thinking about some stuff.
He was thinking mostly about how happy he was that Asia and Irina are going to move in with him as well and he couldn't be happier, things finally took a turn for the good.
He also thought about his fight with Vali and everything that happened during the meeting.
After Issei saw Murayama being close to death door he was almost broken beyond repair, he felt useless and helpless as he saw her dropping toward the ground lifeless with a hole in her stomach.
'I swear that I will always protect those I care about' Issei thought about his newfound resolve.
He did not want to feel the feeling of being helpless and useless while your loved one dies right in front of you.
He was brought out of his train of thoughts by few knocks on the door and the doorbell.
"I'm coming" Issei shouted before he rose from his seat and went to the door.
When Issei opened the door he saw the one person he least expected.
Kiyome was standing in the entrance wearing her Kuoh uniform that was straining due to her bust.
Her hair was set to the usual drill-like curls.
"Kiyome? What are you doing here?" Issei asked in curiosity while having a perplexed look on his face.
"I am so happy that you are ok Issei" Kiyome said before she went and hugged Issei, making him blush from the sudden contact.
"Thank you Kiyome but how did you know that I was injured?" Issei said while he enveloped his hands around the curvaceous girl, returning the embrace.
"When I was waiting for you to pick me up for our date I heard Rias and Akeno talking about what happened in the meeting and how you and Murayama got injured" Kiyome said while she released her hold of Issei but was surprised when she saw Issei frowning.
"I am so sorry Kiyome I didn't mean to miss our date" Issei said with a bit of sadness and a frown on his face, he hated it when he hurt someone.
"Idiot, Don't worry as long as you are alive I couldn't be happier" She said with a reassuring smile while giving Issei a playful punch to his shoulder, making the boy blush again.
In his mind Issei was surprised, he did not know that Kiyome held him in such high regards and cared deeply about him so he decided that he would do his very best to have a good relationship with her and he had a good idea on how to start.
"Kiyome let's go" Issei said, grabbing the girl's hand and dragging her out of the house with him.
"I-Issei where are we going?" Kiyome asked with surprise as she blushed from Issei contact.
"It's a surprise" Issei said while he released his grip on her.
Kiyome grimaced slightly because Issei left her hand and quickly grabbed his hand again and interwinding their fingers together.
Issei did not respond and instead just kept walking normally while a small blush made it's way to his face again.
Issei and Kiyome were walking around the busy streets of Tokyo, looking through the many stores that are available for the people.
They were currently in a jewelry store after Kiyome saw a neckless she wanted to buy for herself but she frowned when she saw the price for the neckless.
The neckless was made out of silver with a big ruby placed in the middle.
She was going to return the neckless when Issei took it from her and handed it to the cashier while he took out his wallet to pay for the neckless.
Kiyome didn't know what was happening at first but after seeing Issei put the neckless around her neck she realized what he did and was shocked.
"Issei you didn't have to buy me that!" Kiyome pouted.
"Don't be silly, I will buy you whatever you want" Issei said while with a tender voice while flashing her a smile that made her knees weaken a bit.
"Idiot" She muttered silently while Issei started to giggle when he heard her.
Their date went very good.
after Issei bought her the neckless they went to a clothing store where Kiyome was trying on some clothes that would look nice on her.
Issei meanwhile was sitting nearby while she tried on the clothes with bags in each of his hands while holding to the clothes that she chose so far.
He wasn't frustrated or sulking from the long wait, he was just happy because Kiyome was having fun and that's what mattered to him.
Issei took this time to think about the date and how it's going so far.
He was very afraid of going to a date since the incident with Raynare, but seeing how Kiyome cared about him he decided to swallow up his fears and take her on the date so she could be happy.
He was brought out of his thinking when he saw Kiyome standing in front of him wearing a black dress that went all the way to her shoes and had her entire back exposed.
Issei looked at her with amazement while he thought how beautiful she was.
"Ufufu...Issei you shouldn't drool" Kiyome said while trying to contain her laughter.
"Eh? Oh sorry, you are just so beautiful" Issei said while he wiped the drool, making Kiyome flush furiously.
"Stop that Issei" Kiyome said while trying to hide her heavy blush.
"Why? It's not like I am lying or something" Issei said boldly, he never was someone who would lie.
"T-Thank you Issei. It means a lot to me" Kiyome said, stuttering.
Issei did not respond and instead shot her the same smile that made her knees weaken before he got up and went to the cashier to pay for the clothes that she picked.
After they were finished with the clothing store they went to grab something to eat before they would call it the day.
They were currently sitting in a fast food restaurant waiting for their orders to arrive.
"Issei I am so happy that we got out on this date, thank you so much" Kiyome spoke with her gentle voice.
"I am glad that you enjoyed Kiyome" Issei said with a smile that made her blush.
The rest of the wait was spent in silence before their orders arrived and the dived straight into eating.
It was currently late night, the streets were almost empty of peoples and the shop owners were starting to close their shops before they went home to their families.
The lights were lit everywhere, illuminating the night sky.
Issei and a very tired Kiyome were currently walking towards Kiyome house after they walked around
During their walk they got to know each other a lot better and knew almost everything that there is to know about each other.
Issei learned more about Kiyome past and how it was to be a Beast Tamer while he also learned about the many animals served her like Christie the Yuti-onna and No-Head Honda who wasn't technically an animal but he still served Kiyome.
Kiyome also learned a lot about Issei like his dream to become a Harem King which she didn't really mind and everything that happened to him until now.
He told her everything starting from Raynare and all the way until the recent meeting of the three factions, he didn't really care about sharing all those stuff with her since he could trust her and he saw how she held him in such high regards.
He wanted to get to know her and he wanted her to know him more as well.
Kiyome listened in great interest to Issei's words, she was really happy that they were starting to get to know each other a lot better.
They were currently standing in front of Kiyome apartment in dead silent, each of them unsure of what to do now.
Their silence was broken by Kiyome's gentle voice.
"I had an amazing time today Issei" she whispered quietly that only he could hear her.
"Me too, I am glad that you enjoyed it" Issei said in a voice that matched Kiyome's tender voice before he leaned on to give her a kiss on the lips much to her bewilderment.
The kiss lasted for a few minutes before they broke up to get some air.
Kiyome was in a total bliss after the kiss, she waited for this to happen for such a long time and finally she was kissing the one she loved the most, she felt like she was in a dream that she hoped will never end.
She was brought out of her bliss by Issei whispering in her ears, making her blush.
"This was very nice Kiyome, what do you say about coming over to my place tomorrow to hang out?" Issei whispered in her ears in a very tender voice that made her knees weaken while she blushed furiously.
"S-S-Sure Issei, I'll be happy too" She struggled to say due to her excitement and bliss.
"I'm glad" Issei replied in her ear, his breath sending shivers of pleasure down her spine.
She did not want this moment to end but much to her dismay she needed to sleep, she was drained after today, but to her pleasure, she will be seeing him tomorrow again.
"Goodnight Kiyome" Issei said after retracting his head from her ear and giving her a peck on the lips.
"Goodnight Issei" She replied with a cracking voice before she went inside her house.
Kiyome was lying down in her bed thinking about everything that happened today.
She was in total bliss and excitement from the kiss she and Issei shared and how their relationship was going in the right direction.
She couldn't be happier.
