Hey There.
I Hope You Enjoy.

[Tabletop Discussions]
"... Delicious." Issei stated, separating a bit of fish with his chopsticks. The peerage was eating an assortment of freshly caught prey. The prey themselves being fish, boar, pheasant, and a deer. There was also an assortment of other food on the table. With her expertise, Akeno had turned all the caught food into something a professional chef would envy.
"Ara, ara. We still have plenty of food, so eat as much as you want." Akeno encouraged, as she refilled Issei's bowl with rice. He nodded his thanks, before getting back to his meal. Even though he was eating calmly, internally he was crying tears at the taste. He was mentally crying so much, that Taberu ended up entering the physical realm. He shimmered into appearance, as he hovered behind Issei's head.
"Oh, Taberu was it? Did you want to join us?" Rias asked curious. He wordlessly shook his head, as he huffed.
'Issei is crying a lot in his mindscape. It's gotten to the point, that I can't review, and edit his memories in peace.' He complained, drawing looks from everyone at the table.
"Edit his memories...?" Rias asked hesitantly. He nodded, before directing a small glare, only noticeable to the lone redhead.
'Yes. Everything. Both past, and present.' He said, his glare narrowing, as she began to silently sweat. He directed a few silent words, that made her worries intensify.
[I know what you did.] Was what she saw/heard.
"... I see..." She trailed off. Things stayed silent, for a few moments before Kiba broke the silence.
"So! Is there any memories you'd like to reveal to us?" She asked cheerfully. Taberu glanced at her direction, before looking up to the ceiling thoughtfully.
'I suppose I could.' Was what he said, before he pulled out a book. Flipping through it, they could hear him mutter several odd, but interesting things.
'There is that incident... How about that?... Then again...' Was what they heard, before Issei looked as though something dawned onto him. He turned, and glared at Taberu fiercely.
"Don't show them 'that'." He stated, getting an odd stare from the Spirit Weapon.
'I find it odd that your strangely accepting about them learning about your memories.' He said, before looking back to the memories, flipping pages back and forth. Issei shrugged.
"I'm going to be with these guys for what is probably the rest of my life. I'd like to show how much trust I have for them." He answered, getting a smile from everyone at the table, except Taberu who remained floating in the air, with an indifferent expression.
'I see... Alright, how about this one?' He said, before ripping out a page. Closing the book, and putting it away to someplace else, he turned the page into some sort of particle that began flowing from from his hand, and onto a cleared space. The particles began combining, and forming spectral characters, slowly revealing themselves into a pair of familiar people.
[… I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP… YOU WILL BE CUT INTO PIECES IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP!]
Everyone blinked at the scene, not understanding what they were gazing at... Except two individuals specifically.
Issei grumbled, as he woke up. He pushed away his blanket, his hand feeling flesh in the process. Blinking at the sudden feeling, as well as being half-asleep, he gave the flesh a firm squeeze. He was shaken out of his stupor when a brief breeze passed through an open window, making him realize something. He never slept nude.
Asia, and Kiba blushed madly at the scene in-front of them. Koneko had a poker face, with only a small blush revealing her thoughts, while Akeno looked on amused. Rias herself looked both amused, and embarrassed, as Issei stared gobsmacked.
"... Unnn ..." A female moaned. Issei froze, and mechanically turned to his side, gazing downwards. There sleeping next to him, was Rias Gremory, her enormous bust, being barely covered by her red hair.
At this, Rias froze as she felt a mixture of stares from her peerage. Glancing over, she noticed that three individuals were giving her a disapproving stare, and two jealous glares.
"Ise! Wake Up! It's Already Time For School!" A woman, probably his mother yelled.
Before anything else was said, or continued, Issei sprung to his feet, and began waving at Taberu frantically.
"Okay! You can stop now!" He said, frantic. Taberu merely raised an eyebrow.
'... Really? Your sure you want to?' He asked, getting a frantic nod from him, making him sigh.
'Fine...' He said, before making the memory shimmer out of view, getting a few disappointed noises from the audience. Issei stared at the others with a look of disbelief, before staring back at Taberu.
"Please don't do that again." He pleaded, getting a snort from the weapon.
'Meh.' He said looking away, only his eyes revealing his amusement. He glanced over Issei's shoulder, his eyes landing onto Kiba who's hand was raised partly.
'Need something?' He asked. She nodded, before clearing her throat.
"Yes... What do you look like without any of that stuff on?" She asked, glancing at his bamboo hat, and his mask. He frowned, not that it could be seen and shook his head.
'Not answering.' He responded, before he started to slowly disappear, legs first.
'Well, I'm heading back. Issei, remember what's going to happen next time, yeah?' He asked, getting a nod from his Wielder.
"of course." He said, as the weapon fully disappeared back into his mindscape. With him gone, the events happening soon ended, and they all began eating once more.
Once they had finished eating, and had cleaned up, the group moved to clean themselves up for the night.
"Let's all use the outside bath together. It'll be wonderful." Rias said cheerfully. She got various reactions in return.
"Of course Buchou." Akeno agreed, smiling sweetly at her.
"Wah?! Buchou?!" Kiba cried, face crimson.
"..." Koneko stayed silent, opting instead to give Rias a disappointed glare. She was ignored entirely.
"E-Eh?!" Asia stuttered, blushing as she did.
"... No." Issei rejected, getting looks from everyone.
"Why not Ise-kun?" Akeno asked, a finger on her chin.
"My mother told me to only bathe with the woman I am to marry." He responded, making everyone give him a blank stare. Taberu appeared in his bird form, landing onto his shoulder, and giving him a sagely nod.
"... Does that mean you would like to marry one of us here?" Rias interjected amused, as two blondes stiffened, before staring at Issei with an intense look in their eyes.
"..." Issei didn't respond, instead opting to walk past them, towards the bath. Before he disappeared from view, he glanced back at the two blondes, and gave one of them a smile, though they didn't see it, instead looking towards the ground dejected.
Done.
I Hope You Enjoyed.
Note: This was a little break from the training, as well as me diverging from the plot line I made. In other words, expect a lot of things different after the training. I am striving to make this story AU, using only a few scraps of canon for research material.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed, and hope to know what you think of this chapter.
