So I decided to not make this chapter focus on a girl this time so that Issei can get a break and so that more characters can get introduced into the story. I also had SO MUCH FUN riting this chapter. I got to mess around and cause everybody some comedic grief.

WARNING ALCOHOL AND SUGGESTIVE TEXT. YOUNG READERS BEWARE. THIS IS HIGH SCHOOL DXD, THOUGH SO THIS WARNING WILL PROBABLY GET IGNORED ANYWAY IF YOUNG READERS ARE READING THIS.

Chapter 11 – Party Time

It was the night that Gabriel and Issei had returned home from touring Kuoh, with the both of them coming back to a party and dinner to sukiyaki.

Michael, Azazel, Dulio, Griselda, Sirzechs, Grayfia, the Vali Team, and Rias's and Sona's peerages had gathered for a party.

There wasn't exactly any reason for it but it was just to get everyone to have some fun.

Before the gathering could actually start, the three leaders of the Three Great Factions stood up to say their words since they had thought up of the gathering.

"Everyone, if we could have your attention, please." Michael's loud yet gentle voice rang out.

"Tonight, we merely wanted to create a gathering so that we could all mingle and get to know each other better and to have a relaxing time." Sirzechs briefly stated their objective.

"So eat, drink, and have some fun while you're all still young." Azazel's piece was like that of an old man's which he was in a sense.

There were several tables set up with multiple cups and bottles of drinks laid out for everyone to access.

As they waited for the sukiyaki to cook, conversation broke out between different groups as they talked about different things while sipping on different beverages.

"So, Gabriel. I hear that you have joined Sekiryuutei's Harem. You okay with that?" Azazel smirked, interested in seeing if a cat fight was going to happen.

Azazel merely laughed.

"You're more accepting of it than some others." Sirzechs chuckled as he glanced at Rias, who made a defensive look. She was originally trying to keep Issei to herself but times changed her mind.

At one table, Irina, Griselda, Xenovia, and Asia talked about their religion.

"I've read the Bible several times already and I have so many favorite verses." Asia had twinkles in her eyes when she talked about her favorite subject.

"That's good. As believers, we must learn what we can." Griselda's response was well remembered by everyone at their table.

"I say the same thing to the others in my club at school." Irina agreed.

"As Student Council President, I read through the club activities that you proposed and I have to say no to some things." Xenovia strictly chided as Irina made a protesting look.

Kiba, Arthur, and Tsubasa were interacting at a table as they engaged in conversation about some unknown subject.

"Yura-san, I hear that you're quite popular among the girls at school?" Kiba gently chimed in.

Tsubasa made a glum face in response, which Kiba made a quick apology too.

"Several girls like me because they think I have bishounen face. It's sad, really." As Tsubasa spoke, she looked over at Issei, who she was enamored with.

"It should be fine. If you try hard enough, you could possibly get someone to notice you." Arthur advised her as he knew what falling in love was like.

At another table, Koneko and Dulio were talking about different foods while Tomoe Meguri and Reya Kusaka engaged them in conversation to get to know them better.

"I like snacks and pastries mostly but I also like other kinds of foods too." Koneko brightly spoke as Dulio nodded in agreement.

"I love eating pastries too. I especially, like Mont Blanc." Dulio smiled at the thought of it.

"Could you tell what kind of foreign patries you've tried, Dulio-san?" Reya politely asked.

"I wanna hear too!" Meguri smiled as she took a closer look at Dulio, who didn't seem to mind her energy.

Gasper, Saji, Momo, and Ruruko were sitting at a third table while Gasper and Saji exchanged stories about their traumatic experiences at Grigori.

"Y'know, they threw a wrecking ball at me?! It was way too big for me to catch, even if it helped me!" Saji cried a little when he remembered the pain.

"It's okay, Gen-chan. You don't have to go back there anymore." Momo soothed Saji as he took a large gulp of water.

"I remember some bad times too. One time, a Fallen Angel took me and tried to use me for an experiment. The way he was laughing was so scary." Gasper trembled

Ruruko tried her best to soother her junior, who seemed like he wanted to go back into his box.

Tsubaki, Akeno, Rias, and Sona were talking about their futures at their own table.

"The Rating Game School is almost done with reconstruction but it'll take a while to improve security. I'm thankful for everyone's support." Sona gratefully bowed as Rias dismissed her formal attitude.

"Any time, Sona. We're best friends, after all. Also, I've been meaning to ask something. Aren't you going to notice your pawn's feelings for you?" Rias asked with a mischievous smile.

Sona made a bashful neutral look. It was obvious that she wasn't going to say anything.

"Also, Tsubaki-san. Have you made progress with Kiba-kun? Ufufufu." Akeno deviously smiled as Tsubaki lost all composure.

It was as if steam was coming out of her head.

"We-well. N-no. Ah. Um." She tried to speak but with Kiba being within earshot, she couldn't say anything.

Bikou, Kuroka, Loup Garou, and Fenrir shared a table as they talked about different types of different species and races.

"Say, I thought you two would be fighting. Being a cat and wolf and all." Bikou joked as Kuroka

Kuroka gave Bikou an irritated look.

"If you want a fight, go somewhere else." She retorted with a provoking grin.

Loup didn't say anything as he waited for the sukiyaki to finish cooking.

Next to him, Fenrir merely sat quietly as he stared at the meat in the pot as Kuroka and Bikou started to playfully bicker.

Ravel, Rossweisse, Lefay, and Bennia were talking about their different experiences with magic, with Bennia's being quite scary to encounter but interesting to learn about.

"Well, I can't really use my family's brand of magic so I developed my own." Rossweisse showed a rune in her hand as Lefay took a close look.

"That's incredible and ingenious." Lefay was smiling happily as she studied what Rossweisse told her.

"The next time we have an Oppai Dragon event, you're welcome to come as a VIP." Ravel kindly offered Bennia and Lefay first class passes to Oppai Dragon events.

"Really?! That's so cool! Thank you!" Bennia was excited and feeling extremely lucky that she got a free VIP pass to see Oppai Dragon in the flesh.

Azazel, Sirzechs, and Michael were chatting about the old days and were even thinking of establishing a guy's night out, which was suggested by Azazel.

"Man, ever since Shemhaza and Baraqiel got into higher positions, I haven't had many buddies to drink with anymore. Everyone's just getting married and having kids." Azazel took a large gulp of his liquor in defeat.

"Well, if it makes you feel better, I have time on the weekends to go drinking. I'll have to drink sparingly, though. I don't want to be a bad influence on Millicas and Grayfia will kill me.: Sirzechs chuckled heartily.

"I believe my weekends are unoccupied as well. Rest assured, I can make time." Michael gave Azazel a reassuring smile.

Azazel really was getting lonely.

Gabriel, Tosca, Valerie, and Grayfia were talking at their own table. The women were actually hitting it off great. It was a nice and mature area for the four. Tosca was surprisingly mature even though she still looked very young. Grayfia, who wasn't on-duty as a maid, was especially teasing with the other women at her table.

"So, Gabriel-san, I hear that you joined my younger brother-in-law's harem?" Grayfia made a small smile as Gabriel nodded in cheerful delight.

"Yes. I couldn't be happier. Meeting Issei…was one of the best things I've ever done." Gabriel smiled so brightly that it was as if she had turned into a small sun.

"I wonder, when I'll be able to fall in love and have somebody to embrace me lovingly." Valerie wondered if she would ever find that person.

"Me too. I think my chance will come though." Tosca looked at Kiba, who was still wrapped in conversation with Arthur and Tsubasa.

At the last table, Issei and Vali were talking about various things that were happening lately, with Draig and Albion talking about several things from the past. They still didn't remember why they had started fighting.

"I managed to accomplish the training the First gave me but I need to get even stronger. I've even tried making new techniques too, now that I have the [Wyvern Fairies] and [Penetrate]." Issei felt a sense of accomplishment but he also felt a sense of frustration.

"That's good. You're getting much stronger. Soon, we can have our fight and settle our rivalry." Vali made a small laugh as he had seen the power Issei had used to punch through Rizevim's defenses.

Meanwhile, Albion and Draig were having their own talk.

"Chichi this, Chichi that. Ridiculous." Draig spoke with an uncaring tone.

"Ketsu this, Ketsu that." Albion mused with a disgusted tone.

"We will never cry over it anymore! Bring it on! We will win!" They declared in unison as they forged a deadly alliance against breast and boob nicknames.

Everyone was having a merry old time as they ate and chatted.

But when the alcohol came out, all of the adults got drunk due to the strength of the liquor that Azazel brought.

The younger members of the gathering were merely drinking juice and tea that Azazel brought but he had also spiked their drinks with a powerful new magic potion that created effects that made someone act as if they were drunk even though what they drank wasn't alcohol.

This led to a very interesting and very disastrous night.

There was stuff going on in individual areas so the whole place wasn't in total disarray…yet.

Michael got knocked out cold after 10 shots. Azazel had made him drink and when Michael got back up again, he showed a bossy attitude.

"What are all of you doing! Get to work!" He pointed at invisible, non-existing people as he hallucinated.

"Why am I so behind in life?! How did I get so old?!" Azazel cried out as he contemplated his life.

"Grayfia. Where's Grayfia?!" Sirzechs looked around as he spotted Grayfia, quietly drinking in a corner.

"S-Sirzechs?" She cowered a bit when she saw that he was drunk. The last time this happened, she couldn't remember why she had passed out. All she remembered was that she was in a bed.

"Grayfia, my wife. I love you." Sirzechs hugged her tightly as Grayfia tried to get out of his warm and drunken embrace.

"P-Please let go." She moaned as Sirzechs kissed her. Then he did something that he would've never done sober. He made her chug a glass of wine, which caught her by surprise and it also got her drunk.

She hiccupped and looked right at Sirzechs.

"Zechs-chan! Caught you." When Grayfia started acting drunk, Sirzech's mental safety mode kicked in and made him sober again. A really useful safety measure, really.

"G-Grayfia!? What's happening?!" Sirzech's realized that he was caught in an embrace that he had just put her in.

"Zechs-chan. I love you! I love our family to that's why…" Grayfia had a naughty look in her eyes as she eyed Sirzechs like candy.

"Let's make Millicas a big brother!" She pounced on Sirzechs as he tried to fight her off. He got off his chair and ran around the mansion with a drunk Grayfia in tow.

"Zechs-chan! Wait!" She called cutely as she started to hunt down her husband.

"Gya-kun! Come here! I've got something nice for you!" Valerie had a drunken blush on her face as she had grabbed Gasper.

Thankfully, Gasper wasn't drunk but that would be his undoing.

"Here, eat this Gya-kun." Valerie shoved something into his mouth as Gasper started to burst into tears.

"NOOO! Garlic!" He cried out.

Before he could get away, Valerie made an evil look as she started undressing him out of his girl clothes and forced him to wear men's clothing.

"NOOO! Valerie! Stop!" Gasper couldn't stop her now that he had lost the battle of willpower.

"I've got you Gyasuke! You're all mine to torture now! Eheeheehee!" Valerie giggled with a sadistic grin as she dragged Gasper off somewhere.

"SENPAI! SAVE MEEE!" Gasper called out but nobody was coming. He realized that he was doooomed.

Sona was sitting at her table drinking sadly as she had gotten drunk too.

"Why is no man as smart as I am?! At this rate, I'll die with nobody smart enough to be my boyfriend!" She took another swig of her juice and passed as Saji made his way to her, albeit he was drunk too.

"Kaichou-senpai! Please notice me!" He cried until Momo and Ruruko caught him.

"Got you, Gen-chan" Momo had a drunken blush on her face and was hiccupping to add to that.

"Saji-senpai, have some fun with me." Ruruko seductively licked Saji's face, who shook in surprise.

The two women cragged Saji off to who-knows-where and they weren't seen for the rest of the night. All they had done as they went out of sight was pull Saji screaming: "Mine! Mine!"

Kiba was being attacked by Tosca as she drunkenly tried to seduce him.

"Isaiah-chan. Come here. Let's play." She made a pouting look when Kiba kept dodging her.

She was constantly trying to get a grip on him but he kept slipping out of her reach.

"Tosca, please get a grip." Kiba managed to avoid getting drunk from the spiked alcohol but he had to worry about Tosca chasing him now.

He had tried to get several others to calm down but Tosca had busied him.

"Isaiah, if you won't come to me, then I'll just make you stay down while I have fun," Tosca made a red-face and suggestive look that made Kiba shiver.

"No, Kiba-kun is mine! He's my boy toy! Gimme!" Tsubaki cried as she chased after Kiba while glaring back and forth with Tosca.

"Crap." Was all he said as he ran for his life.

Bennia was doing spinning tricks with her scythe as she drunkenly imagined an audience.

"I'll win the scythe-spinning challenge for sure!" She cried out as she passed out from the magic potion-spiked juice.

Garou had merely avoided drinking any juice that Azazel had brought and went up to a guest room that Issei had told him was his.

Reya was using her Sacred Gear, [Scouting Persona] to take embarrassing shots of everyone as she giggled mischievously.

"Blackmail it is, then." She laughed as she continued to take pictures.

Griselda had decided that she should avoid taking part in the chaos and went to bed in her room. She decided that she'd let everyone run free for once.

Dulio was pointing at nothing while eating a ton of pastries while he reported the weather forecast in a drunken slur.

"Tzonight, we'ver, hava fnowy fnight. Uffer fwing chwills in fa lowa thirtieeeesss." As he spoke, the weather really did go down as he had said. (He says: Tonight, we will have a snowy night with upper wind chills in the lower thirties.)

Tomoe Meguri was knocked out instantly from drinking the magic potion-spiked juice so she was as quiet as a doorknob.

Tsubasa was in a bad mood while crying.

"Why does everyone think I'm a boy?! I'm a girl?!" She shouted as she wanted Issei-senpai, er, Issei to notice her.

Bikou was behaving like a monkey as he jumped around the ceiling while making monkey noises.

"Fall! Fall! FALL!" He shouted while laughing.

He would throw around empty banana peels as a joke but he slipped on them every time while nobody else did.

Arthur had restrained himself and decided not to get involved and turned in for the night. He wasn't going to wake up messed up.

Fenrir was howling like a wolf and chasing around his own tail as he had gotten some juice from Lefay.

Lefay was drunkenly drawing and scribbling around the walls of the Hyoudou Residence in a childish fashion until she collided with a wall and started to pout and cry.

"WWWAAAHHH! Onii-chan!" She wailed.

Faster than lightning, Arthur rushed back and saw Lefay crying and then falling asleep. His big-brother mode kicked in and he carried her to bed as he feared that she might get hurt if left unattended.

Vali, somehow, had gotten influenced when Azazel shoved down a whole bottle of the magic potion down his throat.

"I…AM…THE…KING! Who's the next challenger?!" He shouted triumphantly as he looked around for anybody to challenge him to a fight.

"Vali, calm down." Albion tried to stop him but Vali merely looked around and spun in circles in a daze.

"Who said that?!" He shouted as he kept turning in a circle to find the source of the sound.

Kuroka was with Koneko, giggling with her as they played around like children.

"Hop-scotch! Twag! You it!" Kuroka and Koneko shouted to each other as they chas

ed each other around while acting like children.

"No Fwair. Onee-chan!" Koneko pouted as she chased after Kuroka.

Asia was busy trying to sing but her voice kept cracking as she tried to hymn a tune. If she weren't drunk, her real singing ability might've been assessed.

"Issei-san! This one's for you!" She yelled as she made a sound that was like a screech.

Irina was with Xenovia, arguing.

"Big-boobed brute!" Irina shot at Xenovia.

"Self-proclaiming big-boobed baby!" Xenovia fired back.

Irina looked stunned and then started to glare at Xenovia before running away and crying.

"WHAHAHA! ISSEI-KUN! XENOVIA's BEING MEAN!" She ran around while trying to look for Issei.

Xenovia then started to panic as Irina left.

"IRINA! WHERE DID YOU GO! DON'T LEAVE ME!" She then ran around trying to find Irina.

Ravel was silent but her actions weren't. She was doing a waltz by herself and eventually, she had tripped over a chair and spun around gracefully as she avoided falling on her face.

Rossweisse had turned into something of a delinquent. She posed like one and started to talk like one. However, she wasn't vomiting this time since she hadn't ingested alcohol.

"Who you lookin at foo'? Imma F*** you up!" She yelled at an unfortunate soul as she continued to spit profanity.

Akeno had snagged onto Rias as she played a game of static shock with her.

"Rias, let's play patty cake." Akeno deviously goaded her with a red face.

As they played and clapped hands, Akeno would make a static shock that hit Rias. It looked like Akeno had turned into a sneaky S.

"Ow, Akeno!" Rias got up and ran out of the room. As she ran out she skipped, twirled, danced, sung, and giggled as she moved along.

"I'm a princess! I can do what I want! I'm free!" She yelled like a princess as she went to go find Issei.

Gabriel, who didn't get drunk had already left to go look for Issei.

Issei, who managed to be wise, left the room and went to a guest room to hide. His room was too dangerous to go to so a guest room that was hidden was best.

He hid under the covers over lumps of blankets and waited for the noise to die down so that he could sleep in peace and comfort.

Suddenly, he felt a weight on him and then he felt a pair of arms encompass him.

He took off his blanket to see Gabriel blush and look at him sweetly.

"Caught you." She giggled as she took off some the blankets and cuddled next to him.

"What're you doing here?" Issei was wondering how she found him but he didn't really care anymore.

"I saw that you were gone so I went to look for you. It's getting really rowdy downstairs." Gabriel looked up at him as she kissed his chin.

"Yeah, I got out too before everybody started acting crazy." Issei was glad that he had company that wasn't drunk.

Unfortunately,…he was wrong. Gabriel was drunk.

Gabriel snaked her arms around Issei's neck and pressed him into a hug as she nuzzled his chest and intertwined their legs.

"Issei. Issei. Caught you! You're all mine." Gabriel continued to cutely snuzzle and hug with Issei until he protested.

"Gabriel. Are you okay?" Issei asked, concerned.

"Issei, I'm hungry. Feed me. Ahhh." Gabriel said as she saw several plates of food by the bedside dresser.

Issei relented as he took a piece of fruit and put it in Gabriel's mouth.

"Issei! Carry me around!" Gabriel drunkenly asked.

"No." Issei regretted his words when Gabriel started to sniffle and cry.

"Issei doesn't like me anymore." She sniffled again until Issei kneeled on one knee.

"Okay." Issei surrendered in defeat.

"Yay! I love you, Issei." Gabriel climbed onto Issei's back as he gave her a piggy-back ride.

Suddenly, the door to the room burst open as everyone in Issei's harem had found them.

"Issei, what about me?!" They all spoke in unison as Issei began to panic.

They were all acting drunk and he was only one person. Running wasn't an option since the exit was blocked.

"Wait! Let's talk first!" Issei backed up as all of the girls made jealous glares and inched closer to him.

"Issei, protect me." Gabriel gave him a smooch on the cheek, sending the other girls into a frenzy.

'Oh well, this is worth it.' Issei mused as he then regretted his words.

A distance away, Kuroka looked on in interest and jealousy as she saw so many women crowd around him.

"I want in too." She mumbled before the night ended.

She was definitely going to get closer to him.

I hope this was a fun chapter for you all to read. I certainly had fun writing it. I didn't include Riser's and Sairaorg's Peerages because the headcount would've gotten too big to control. I messed around a bit with this because I wanted to create a fun fiasco at one single time and yes, Kuroka has won the last spot in Issei's harem. I also wanted to put in random effects for everybody just for the heck of it since I had nothing specific to go off of regarding everybody's drunk sides. Anyways, until next time.
