Chapter 11 True Feelings
I don't own DxD; I just use its characters and techniques. All credit goes to its creator. Same applies for anything that I used from other animes.
(Normal P.O.V)
"And here I thought you were Team Kiba Momo." Issei chuckled as Momo pressed against him. He expected this from quite a few people but not Momo.
"Shut up" Momo said bashfully blushing heavily from the steam and from the feeling of Issei's body against hers. The training trip had done wonders for Issei's body and Momo could practically feel the strength he exuded now.
"Can you blame me for being surprised Momo, we haven't exactly seen eye to eye." Issei smiled. There was a part of him that wanted to spin around and fuck her right there, but he realized that she was still unsure of what she wanted.
"While you were training with Tannin, I took the chance to actually talk to Sona about your relationship instead of judging you like I had so far." Momo revealed. She was one of the longest serving members outside of Tsubaki so she should've naturally had the right.
"What did you learn?" Issei asked curiously.
"I learned that Sona loves you because you care about her. That you and you alone saw the person inside Sona. The person she hid from everybody else." Momo said bitterly.
Issei found her tone surprising but then realized something incredible, "You like her don't you?" Momo's anger was because she hated seeing the girl she loved with a guy like him.
"That's right; I'm in love with Sona. Unfortunately for me, she loves you and that means I have no chance. Seeing all those girls around you drove me crazy because I felt you were abusing her affection."
"And yet here you are naked and wrapping your arms around me just as they would." Issei smiled at the irony.
Momo blushed heavily since Issei had a point. "I'm doing this because I wanted to see if what Sona said about you was true. I have no feelings for you whatsoever" Momo replied angrily.
"What did Sona say?" Issei wondered.
"That you have a gift Issei. That when you're with Sona, she feels special even though she's one of many." Momo revealed.
Even Issei couldn't help but blush at the response, since it was incredibly genuine, "I'm not that good?" Issei said bashfully.
"Shut up. I'm trying to apologize here." Momo said angrily since she saw it as Issei's arrogance.
"Apology accepted. Now get out of here because I have a shower to finish" Issei said abruptly. The heart-to-heart was a nice thing and Issei certainly enjoyed the feeling of Momo pressed against, but it was taking all of his willpower to hold back little Issei.
"Fine" Momo huffed before pulling away and leaving the shower. Once it was clear that Momo was gone, Issei exhaled deeply allowing his body to calm down.
"I'm surprised you held on." Ddraig chuckled.
"I barely did Ddraig and the only reason I'm not going nuts is because I'm pretty sure the girls are going to welcome me back after dinner." Issei chuckled as he finished cleaning up. Luckily for him, Sona Irina and Tsubasa did help him deal with his excess lust later that night and while Momo didn't listen in this time, he was certain that it was only a matter of time till she was an active participant in his harem.
(Scene Skip)
The next morning, there was an interesting guest for breakfast in the form of Serafall and her new assistant Katase. Serafall was dressed in her typical magical girl outfit, while Katase wore a white button down blouse with a plain black skirt that went down to her knees. When Issei noticed that Katase wasn't in a magical girl outfit he was pleasantly surprised but he was more concerned with the reason for the visit.
"Glad you could finally join us Issei. You oversleep or something" Sona teased well aware of why he took so long.
"Something like that" Issei shrugged.
"Can you guys save the flirting for later. I wanted to talk to you guys about an important event coming up." Serafall revealed.
"Works for me" Issei shrugged as he took his place next to Sona.
"Plus Katase wanted to see Issei." Serafall added catching everybody off guard including Katase.
"That's mean Lady Leviathan." Katase pouted. Issei couldn't help but chuckle at the blush on her face from Serafall's teasing.
"I told you Katase to call me Levia-tan unless you want me to make you wear that magical girl outfit I prepared for you." Serafall frowned.
Katase blushed even more since Serafall did prepare an outfit for her but she convinced Serafall not to let her wear it if she called her by that name, "Fine, that's not fair Levia-tan."
Issei couldn't help but chuckle at the display since Katase was having as much trouble with Serafall as everybody else. "Well that's fine by me. I can have a nice chat with Katase after Serafall explains what's going on." Issei smiled causing a few people to frown including Momo.
"Okay" Katase blushed.
"My, what an amusing start to the day" Lady Sitri teased and breakfast began after that.
(Scene Skip)
After breakfast Sona gathered the Sitri peerage in what acted as the living room. It was a large room that was the size of two of the classrooms at Kuoh Academy with 4 large couches and 3 large chairs in the middle and an 80 inch flat screen TV. Issei Sona Irina and Tsubasa were on one couch with Issei in between Sona on the left and Irina on the right while Tsubasa was next to Sona. Tsubaki Momo and Reya were on the other one with Tsubaki in the middle with Momo on the left side and Reya on the right. Serafall and Katase were standing up for the moment. "Here's the deal everyone, next Friday we'll be hosting a meeting of the six current Youth Devils in the devil capital."
"You're gathering all of us" Sona said nervously.
"That's right Sona, you and Rias along with Seekvaira Agares, Sairoarg Bael, Diodora Astaroth, and Zephyrdor Glasya-Labolas."
"Wait a minute, what happened to Megumi" Sona gasped. Megumi was a good friend of her and Rias and as far as she knew, she was the heir instead of her delinquent cousin.
"Zephyrdor beat her in a mock rating game a week ago for her title as heir" Serafall groaned. Clearly she didn't like Zephyrdor but there was nothing she could do.
"I see" Sona said solemnly. She and Megumi were good friends and she felt bad that she lost the title that way.
"If you don't mind my asking, what's the reason for the gathering?" Tsubaki wondered since that was out of the blue.
"We're going to officially reveal the alliance and the existence of the Khaos Brigade to everyone." Serafall explained.
"That so" Sona said with a thinly veiled smile. She and Issei were both aware that there was more to it than that but they weren't going to press their luck.
"If that's all I've got my TV show to shoot, Katase you have the rest of the day off" Serafall smiled before teleporting away leaving a helpless Katase.
"Dammit Lady Leviathan" Katase groaned before falling to her knees. All of her spare clothes were at Serafall's house so she was stuck like this. The secretary outfit was nice, but this was Issei she was dealing with. She needed to bring it clothes wise.
"She was never one for half measures was she" Irina chuckled since Serafall knew that Katase would've probably chicken out had she not done that. From the looks of the others in the room, it was clear that she wasn't the only one who felt that way.
"Nope" Sona deadpanned before getting up and walking to a helpless Katase. "I made a copy of your suitcase when we were moving you guys into the house in case something like this happened." Sona smiled knowing how much it would help her.
"Thanks" Katase smiled as she and Sona left to get changed. The rest of the peerage soon followed leaving Issei alone to watch the large TV. Though for Issei, it wasn't a matter of IF Katase would come back, it was a matter of what would she be wearing and for how long would it stay on.
(Katase P.O.V)
It felt like I was preparing for a first date as I rummaged through the suitcase that Sona saved for me in order to find the right outfit to charm Issei with. Sure we had sex on the train but I haven't had any personal time with him and I owed him a heart-to-heart. "What are you so nervous about Katase? Whatever you wear is not gonna stay on for long anyway." Irina teased.
"Oh shut up Irina. This is Issei and I want to make it count" I blushed heavily. She wasn't wrong, but I still wanted to show off for a bit. I noticed the two look at each other before each showing an odd smile.
"You'll make it count by being honest with him. I mean when I was a kid Issei thought I was a guy up until the day before my family moved to England." Irina chuckled.
"Seriously" I said in shock unaware of that little detail.
"When I told him the truth he gave me a hug and said that we were friends no matter what; along with that he was actually relieved that I was a girl since there was stuff we couldn't do before because I was hiding who I was. When I returned to Kuoh because of a mission, he summoned me to the playground we played at as kids and kissed me and later that night he took my virginity. Even though we were technically enemies, Issei went out of his way to make sure I was okay and thought about me at his own risk. That's how Issei was" Irina chuckled.
"I wasn't quite that bad, but I literally had sex with him because I thought it was the best way to bring out his sacred gear. When my plain failed I was about to erase his memories when his gear woke up. Hell for an entire year I was training him for Rias and I fully expected him to throw me away once he saved Rias and she started showing feels for him. Of course that never happened and here we are." Sona smirked.
This was unreal, since Sona and Irina were very much considered by the other girls as the heads of his harem. For these two to have such crazy pasts with Issei was shocking "You guys aren't lying to me are you?" If this was true, I really didn't have a thing to be concerned with.
"There's no reason to lie to you Katase. Serafall set this up for you to be with Issei and we'd be cruel to refuse that?" Irina smiled.
I calmed down since they were right. If they really wanted, they could isolate me from Issei but they were helping me right now. As I continued to look through my clothes, I found something that I brought with me for a separate purpose but I realized that it would be the perfect thing to wear. "I'm ready" I said happily as I revealed the outfit I was going to wear.
"That'll work" Irina smiled since she realized the significance.
(Scene Skip)
With my outfit finally decided, I made my way towards the living room hoping that Issei was alone so we could talk. "Almost have you" Issei shouted out which caught me off guard.
"Your right Issei, this battle's coming down to the end." Azazel said next to him. Recognizing the sounds, I realized that they were playing smash brothers on the TV. I started to walk away realizing that my chance was gone.
"Sorry Azazel, but I guess we'll have to call this one a draw" Issei suddenly said catching me off guard.
"Yeah I gotcha kid?" Azazel said at the same time. All of the sudden I could hear the game stop and the television turn off. What was going on? As I sat there unsure of what to do, a voice called out to me.
"Katase you can come in now. Azazel and I can play video games another time." Issei shouted out.
"Okay" I said nervously before walking into the room. There he was, on one of the chairs wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans. As he turned towards me, I was nervous at what he would think.
"Of all the things you could've worn, you chose your kendo uniform." Issei chuckled.
I walked towards him nervously and decided to tell him the truth, "I felt like it was the best thing to choose given the circumstances." I said bashfully. I wanted to start over and it felt like the kendo uniform was the way to do it.
"Alright" Issei smiled.
"I'm sorry Issei" I said bashfully. I didn't know what else to say under the circumstances so I started with that.
"For what" Issei wondered. Man why did he have to make this so hard.
"I'm sorry for always hitting you when you were with your buddies. I liked you and I was mad because you were such a pervert."
"Is that all" Issei shrugged as though it wasn't a big deal.
"What do you mean is that all!?" I yelled out. Why was he so frustrating.
"Katase I'd be a fool to blame you for all of that." Issei smiled before motioning for me to join him on the couch.
"Okay" I said bashfully getting onto the couch and snuggling into his body. I began to blush since Issei's body was much more muscular then I remembered.
"I was a horrible pervert and looking back, I wonder why the heck I was that way. I'm not gonna get mad at you for how you treated me because I deserved it" Issei smiled as he used his left hand to reach into my gi in order to fondle my breasts.
"Is part of this…because of Mury's confession…?" I moaned.
"She helped" Issei replied kissing me on the cheek. "But honestly it's because I saw people like Riser Phenex." Issei said with a bitter smile on his face.
"Who's…Riser Phenex" I asked nervously.
Issei stopped his ministrations and I turned towards his face nervously. I could see the look of annoyance on his face which was rare for him, "He was Rias's former fiancé. Rias hated the guy so much that she was prepared to let me die at the hands of a fallen angel named Raynare in order to get access to my sacred gear and power."
"You're joking" I said in shock. Rias had a sterling reputation amongst everyone at school and while admit that I still didn't know much about her devil side, that was a pretty wild reveal.
"Not at all. Rias was prepared to let me die in order to get my power because she was desperate to get rid of him. Ironically enough, Sona did what she did because she knew about Rias's plan and was afraid that I wouldn't be strong enough to actually make a difference" Issei revealed.
I was struck by how annoyed he was, since this Riser guy was the catalyst for his current lifestyle. "Was he that bad" I wondered.
"Riser would be in his mid-20s by human standards and two of the girls in his harem would be in middle school if not elementary school. Not to mention, that Rias was his fiancée but he was blatantly groping another woman in front of him. His peerage was all women and I could tell just by looking at him that the only value any of them had were as tools to sate his lust." Issei explained angrily.
"Wow! He sounds like a real scumbag" I said bluntly.
"He was, but enough about him, let's focus on you" Issei said calmly before resuming his fondling of my breasts.
"Stop…Issei…not…here" I moaned since I did want to continue but I didn't want to do it in the family room.
"Then, let's take this somewhere a bit more private" Issei smiled as he stood up and held me in a princess carry.
"What are you doing" I blushed not expecting him to do that at all.
"Taking you somewhere a little more private because you have more apologizing to do" Issei smiled as I felt his magic activate underneath us. Irina and Sona were right that I didn't have to worry.

(Issei P.O.V)
After giving Katase a few loads of cum, I left her in my room to get some lunch. Being with all these beautiful girls certainly worked up an appetite and my stomach was roaring. As I arrived in the kitchen I found a surprising person waiting for me, "To think Sona's new pawn was this fascinating." Lady Sitri said with a sultry smile.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" I said nonchalantly since she approached me for a reason.
"So you didn't just sleep with Serafall's assistant."
I groaned since I realized where Serafall got her teasing nature, "Yes I did and before you ask Sona approved of it." I deadpanned.
"Ufufufu I know I was just teasing you. By the way, how would you like to take a healing bath like the ones you have at home." Lady Sitri suggested catching me off guard.
"Oh" I asked with intrigue. I was lucky enough to enjoy the family hot spring before I left for training, but it didn't have the healing effect that mine did.
"That's right. The healing hot spring is actually something from my personal training area and I can give you access to it. Serafall came to me and asked if she could access the spring because it would be a nice tool for you" Lady Sitri offered.
While I was surprised that it was Serafall who was behind the spring in my house, I knew that point was a distraction "What's the catch?" I asked curiously. There was always a catch with people like her.
"No catch, I'm simply rewarding my daughter's future fiancée." Lady Sitri teased.
"I'm pretty sure I need to beat her in chess first." I reminded her.
"Yes, but I'm also sure that you would win. Sona is no fool and she hasn't challenged you because she knows that she'll lose" Lady Sitri replied.
While it was an intriguing though, I had to get some food, "Alright but after I get my food." I said calmly. I could use the soak and if it meant playing her game, so be it.
"Of course" Lady Sitri replied before telling me what I needed to know and leaving me to my food.
(Scene Skip)
After getting a simple lunch I made my way over to where the training area was and followed Lady Sitri's instructions. I had to admit that the place was absolutely stunning. It was a massive forest area with a series of lakes the width of our school pool. My goal was the spring in the northern corner and when I finally arrived at the fabled spring I ran into a sight that stunned me. It wasn't the Olympic pool style hot spring with water so clear you could see to the bottom. It was the young woman relaxing in the spring.
"Issei! What are you doing here?" Sona exclaimed but this wasn't the typical Sona. Her normally short bob cut was replaced with longer hair went halfway down her new body and she looked like an actual mermaid with blue and black scales creating a half bra on her new much larger breasts that extended all the way down her body into a small black tail.
"Your mother told me about her private training area and suggested I take a bath. I think I know why" I smirked. Her mother must've known that Sona would come here and clearly she wanted me to see her.
"Yes and my mother is just as troublesome as my sister." Sona twitched. Admittedly a part of me wondered what Serafall looked like as a mermaid but I had a feeling that I'd never find out.
"Since I'm here, I'll join you" I smirked as I slowly stripped down before making my way into the spring. After a quick swim around the place I made my way next to Sona who promptly sat on top of me tail and all.
"I'm sure your wondering why I have a tail." Sona said bashfully a dust of pink adorning her cheeks.
"I'm guessing that you had to transform into your siren side in order to use the hot spring." I said nonchalantly.
"Correct. The version in your spring at home was adjusted so it worked for humans better. For us siren's the healing happens almost instantly unless the injury is very serious and even then it doesn't take long" Sona groaned, no doubt annoyed that I figured it out so easily and that her siren form was exposed.
"Alright so I guess it's our turn for a little heart-to-heart." I smiled since Lady Sitri clearly wanted us to have this heart-to-heart. I could see the annoyed look on Sona's face but she knew it was the truth.
"Alright, so I guess my question is why?" Sona asked nervously.
"Why what?" I replied nonchalantly.
"Why have you stuck with me this whole time? You have Irina you have Rias you have Xenovia you have Murayama and Katase. What is it about me that made you want to stay with me?" Sona wondered. It was an understandable question really. Sona's A cup angst was a major deal and before the change, she was the flattest of my girls by a large margin.
"It was your honesty and loyalty."
"Huh" Sona said in shock since it was an extremely simple reason.
"You heard me" I smirked before kissing her on the cheek. "Irina pretended to be a guy for the better part of 3 years and only revealed the truth once she was about to leave. Murayama and Katase both liked me but hid their feelings behind a wall of embarrassment because they didn't want to be judged by their peers. Rias, as you well know, was going to have me killed. Outside of when we had our first time, you've been honest with me about everything even if it hurt you."
"I see" Sona blushed since that was very much Issei.
"My partner is right. One of the reasons he left the Gremory's peerage when you offered was because he knew that you saw him for him instead of being my host."
"Ddraig is right. To be honest, the only reason I didn't push more to join your peerage was because you wanted Rias to have me so much." I admitted. Had Sona asked me to join her peerage, I would've done it in a heartbeat.
"Thank you for telling me that Issei. I'm glad that you accepted me and all of my faults." Sona said with a smile and slight blush though I imagine that my muscular body against her helped.
"I should be thanking you Sona. You've allowed me to thrive in a way that I doubt Rias ever would have." I smiled as I pulled her in for another quick kiss and clash of tongues.
"I know you're horny Issei but let's just cuddle for now." Sona said with a smile.
"Alright" I approved as the two of us sat there in the private hot spring and enjoyed each other's company in an innocent way. These heart-to-hearts made me smile and I was glad that the girls told me how they felt instead of just how good I was in bed.
That's it for Chapter 11 and I hope you guys liked this interesting take. Yeah I know there were no actual lemons but a lot of fluff and at times I think fluff works better in a harem when you spread it among most of the girls. Next Chapter the Youth Devils meeting begins and it's going to be a show.
