The chess piece floated around in the darkness.

It was a Pawn. A fire red Pawn.

His Pawn, he realised. The Evil Piece inside his body.

Suddenly, it glowed white. The glow increased until all the color was drowned out and there was only white light left.

How strange.

A protrusion formed in the middle. It quickly grew larger and changed shape.

Was that another Pawn?

It grew until it was the same size as the original. Then, the connection snapped.

The glow subsided.

There were two red Pawns now, both the same size as the initial one.

However, the one on the right felt different. Its aura was off.

Was that… hunger?

Strange.

He heard a rumbling sound and runes appeared on the surface. They danced on the edges, glowing white and blue.

Issei opened his eyes.

A dream?

He looked to the side to check the time. It was early morning. Still over an hour before his alarm would go off.

"Morning, handsome," Asia whispered. She gave him a kiss.

"Morning."

She put on the nightlight and studied him. "You look better than usual. No nightmares this time?"

"No. But I did dream of something else."

She blushed. "If you want to, we could enact your dreams in real life." Her fingers fidgeted with the hem of her thin nightgown.

"It wasn't a sexy dream."

"You disappoint me, Ise-senpai," a new voice said.

Someone hugged him from behind. He felt the familiar sensation of Ruruko's chest pressing against his back.

"How could you not dream of something sexy with the two of us sleeping next to you?" she whispered in his ear.

"I don't know."

"Maybe we are wearing too much," Asia suggested. She shrugged out of her nightgown. As usual, she wore only panties beneath it. "Is that better, Senpai?" She didn't cover her bare chest.

"You've grown confident, haven't you?" He reached out to touch her breast.

"So have you," she pointed out. "Touching my chest like that, tsk."

"I don't hear you complaining about it."

Ruruko took her nightgown off as well. She hugged him tight from behind.

"Shall we service you again, Senpai?" she asked.

"I'd feel bad if you always did it to me. Can't it be the other way around this time?"

Asia turned bright red. "Senpai."

"Please don't do that with me, Senpai," Ruruko said. "I want to be the one serving you. I'd feel really bad if it was the other way around. It would feel completely wrong."

"She's right," Asia said. "We should be the ones taking care of you."

"You seem more doubtful, Asia-chan," Ruruko said. "You don't have to follow my lead all the time. It's okay to say what you want."

"I… well maybe I am a little curious how that would feel. But now is not the time for that. We've made Senpai hard so we have to take care of it."

She touched him over his boxers.

"May I, Asia-chan?" Ruruko asked.

"Sure."

Issei laid down on his back. Ruruko took off his boxers and put him in her mouth.

Meanwhile, Asia moved to his side and kissed him.

He fondled her breasts as they slowly made out. It wasn't long before they were tongue-kissing.

"How does that feel, Ise-senpai?" Ruruko asked.

"Amazing."

"Shall I get down there as well?" Asia suggested.

"No, stay here." He kissed her again. "Besides."

His hand slipped into her panties.

"Onii-chan." She inhaled sharply.

"Onii-chan?"

"I… I didn't say that," she panicked. "Forget I said that." Her face turned bright red.

"What kind of fantasies are you having, Asia-chan? Is this why you are so wet?"

"No, I…" she squirmed beneath his touch.

"You're much more perverted than I thought."

"This is all your fault," she said. "You made me like this. Before all this I was an innocent church girl."

"This doesn't feel very innocent to me."

Asia bit her lip.

Ruruko moved up. She lied down next to him on the other side.

"Ye, Asia-chan. You're leaving me behind."

"We'll see about that," Issei said.

He slipped his other hand in Ruruko's panties.

"Hm, you're wet too," he noted.

"It's because I was making you happy with my mouth."

"And that gets you going?"

"Yes, Senpai. Serving you makes me wet."

"Interesting." He rubbed both of them harder.

"Senpai," Ruruko asked. "Are you gonna put it in now?"

"I…" He was taken back by that.

"I can't take this anymore," Ruruko said. "I want you to put it in me."
"Right now?"

"What's wrong with right now?"

"Uhm. Asia?" He turned to her. Having sex with Ruruko in front of Asia was a bit...

"I can watch, right?" Asia asked.

"Wait, are you okay with her being my first?"

"I already told you I am fine with it," she said. "Besides. What does first even mean? Is the second time gonna feel less good for you? Are you gonna compare my… are you gonna compare me with Ruruko-chan when you take my first time?"

Ruruko chuckled. "Well if you can't say it you're clearly not ready."

"That's fine with me. Ise-senpai is not going anywhere. He'll be there for me when I am ready. Until then I hope he is satisfied with my mouth and breasts."

"Our breasts are hardly big enough to do a paizuri," Ruruko said. "We'll have to ask Akeno-senpai to do that."

"Both of you are perfect," he assured them.

Asia smiled. "Thanks, Ise-senpai."

He turned to Ruruko. "I guess, if you really want to, now wouldn't be so bad. I've been thinking about it too."

"Are you sure you're ready?" she asked.

He shrugged. "What is ready? We've kissed, we've seen each other naked, we made each other cum. And now what? This next step is suddenly super special? It's just another first, Ruruko-chan. Another first I want to share with you."

"Thanks, Senpai."

They got off him.

Issei kicked off his boxers so he was fully naked.

"Wait a minute," he said. "Don't we have to worry about protection?"

"I'm not fertile now, Senpai," Ruruko said. "Devils are only fertile in the first weeks of March."

"They are?"

"Let's not get into that right now, Senpai. It's a bit complicated. All you need to know is that it's perfectly safe outside of early March."

This was probably related to the low fertility of devils Rias had mentioned.

"Alright," he said. "I trust you."

Ruruko got on her back.

"You're not gonna undress?" he asked.

"Are we playing games, Senpai?"

He chuckled. Of course she wanted him to take off her panties for her.

He touched them. Her panties were pretty much soaked by now.

Issei slid them down and threw them on the ground.

Ruruko spread her legs a little.

Asia got next to her.

"You're gonna have to open them more than that, Ruruko-chan."

"I know." She opened her legs a little more.

"Are you scared after all?" he asked.

"No. I really want this."

"This might hurt," Issei warned her.

"I hope so," Ruruko replied. "I wouldn't feel like I've become a woman if it didn't hurt at least a little."

"I don't think an event like this will make you a woman," he said.

She shrugged. "Does it matter?"

"Not really. I'm ready when you are, Senpai."

He moved into position.

Issei teased her by rubbing it up and down over her lower lips.

"Put it in, Senpai," she asked.

"I think he wants to hear you beg for it, Ruruko-chan," Asia said. "Convince him you want it."

"Please Senpai. Take my first time."

"Now, that's not very convincing," he said. He rubbed her clit harder.

"Please," she pleaded. "I need you inside of me. Please fuck me up. Mess up my insides. I want you, Senpai. I-"

He put it in.

She let out a gasp.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Go all the way, Senpai."

He gently pushed it in further.

She grabbed the edges of the sheets. Her fingers balled to fists.

"Is that all the way?" she asked. She didn't dare looking down.

"Uhm, we're like, halfway."

"Fuck. Just how big are you, Senpai?"

"Sorry," he said. He was unable to hide his smile.

Asia bend down and took Ruruko's nipple in her mouth.

He felt her body relaxing a bit. Some of the tension was relieved.

"Don't force yourself, Ruruko-chan," Asia said. "Just relax."

"Shall I continue?" Issei asked.

"Give me a sec." She breathed in and out deeply a few times. "Alright, I'm ready."

He continued. Her body was really struggling to accept his length. But then again, apart from it being her first time, she also had a pretty slender figure so that was to be expected.

With a final push, it slid almost all the way in.

"Wow," she said.

He leaned in and kissed her.

She kissed him back hard. They made out for a while, him unmoving inside of her.

"Go ahead and move, Senpai," she said. "I'm ready."

"Are you sure?"

"I want you to make yourself feel good. Just, don't go too fast please."

"Alright."

He slowly moved inside of her. She gasped.

"Does it feel good?" she asked.

"Yeah. It feels amazing."

"Okay. I'm glad. Make yourself feel good, Senpai."

A strange sensation assaulted him.

What the hell was this?

He pulled out instinctively, but stopped halfway.

Oh, of course.

Ruruko was bleeding a little from losing her virginity, and it had activated his Bloodbound powers. That's where this strange burning sensation came from.

But what kind of powers was he taking from her?

"Are you okay, Senpai?" she asked. Some fear crept in her voice. "Am I doing something wrong? I am right?"

"No no, it's nothing."

"No, I understand. I'm being selfish. I'm limiting your pleasure by being so touchy. Please, Senpai, fuck me as hard as you like. Move as you see fit."

He leaned in and kissed her.

She kissed him back, hard.

The burning sensation faded away.

"Don't worry so much, Ruruko-chan. Just relax."

He sat back upright and continued his movements.

Ruruko slowly got accustomed to him. Her gasps were turning into moans.

"Does it still hurt?" he asked.

"A lot less. It feels nice, Senpai."

"Okay."

"Let's make it feel even better," Asia said. Her hand trailed down.

"Asia, what are you…" the rest of her sentence was lost in a moan.

Asia was gently rubbing her clit. Ruruko was getting worked up fast from that. She was pretty sensitive after all.

Asia made sure not to interrupt Issei's movements with her fingers.

"Senpai," Ruruko pleaded. "Go deeper."

He thrust harder inside of her. It probably hurt, but the pain seemed to turn her on even more.

"You're a little masochist, aren't you?" Issei asked.

"I… maybe."

"Is that so?" He thrusted even harder.

"Yes," she blurted out. "I'm a masochist. Hurt me more, Senpai, please. I'm gonna…"

"Already?" Asia asked. "You don't need much, do you?" She slowed down her movements.

"Don't stop, Asia-chan, please."

Asia turned to Issei. "Can I try something, Senpai?"

"Sure," he said. He didn't know what she was planning, but he wanted to encourage her showing some initiative.

"I'm gonna count down, Ruruko-chan," she said. "You can finish at zero."

"Okay," Ruruko said. Although she seemed a bit hesitant, she was completely submissive now.

Issei wondered what Asia was planning.

Asia used her fingers much harder and faster on Ruruko. From Ruruko's breathing, he guessed she was already on the edge and holding back.

Asia counted down.

"3… 2… 1…"

He expected her to say 'zero', but instead, Asia leaned in and kissed Ruruko on her lips.

What the…

Ruruko was very surprised at first (and she wasn't the only one). But after a short hesitation, her lips yielded and allowed Asia to push her tongue inside.

He heard her moan loudly and felt her pussy spasm around him.

They continued to make out, even after Ruruko had finished.

Eventually, they released each other. Ruruko was still basking in the afterglow of her orgasm.

He was now moving slowly in and out of her, more on autopilot than conscious decision.

"Sorry, Senpai," Asia said. "I hope you don't consider this cheating?"

"I thought you weren't bi-curious?"

"It's her fault," Asia said. "She's the one who mentioned it yesterday. And then I couldn't stop thinking about it."

Ruruko got out of her trance. "Well I didn't expect you to actually go for it."

"Sorry. Was that okay?"

"It was fine, I guess." She looked away with a blush on her cheeks. "As long as we're only assisting each other a little."

It looked like Ruruko enjoyed it more than she cared to admit.

"If you are okay with that, Senpai," she quickly added. "You really should have asked that first, Asia."

"It's okay, don't worry about it," he assured them.

He wasn't really in a position to complain. He had made out with three girls already, so how could he say they had to be exclusive to him? That would be imposing a double standard on them. And as long as they were only making out with each other, he didn't really mind watching some girl on girl action.

"Still," Ruruko said, unconvinced. "Asia decided on her own."

"I'll only do it again if Senpai wants us to then," Asia said.

"I guess… if Senpai wanted us to, we'd have to oblige him."

"Indeed," Asia confirmed.

"But only because he wants us to," she added.

"Of course." Asia smiled at her.

"Anyway, we're getting carried away." She turned to Issei. "You haven't finished yet."

"It's okay."

"Don't be ridiculous, Senpai. Lie down, I'm gonna get on top of you."

"Alright."

He took it out and lied down on his back, careful not to get any blood or fluids on the sheets. Although in retrospect, it was a bit of a futile effort.

Ruruko didn't seem to mind the blood at all.

She crawled on top of him.

Confidently, she put it back inside of her and pushed it all the way in.

She sucked in her breath.

"Are you okay? Does it hurt?"

"Don't worry about me. This is about you." She put her hands on his chest for balance and slowly moved up and down.

Asia knelt next to him. She leaned in closer.

"Senpai?" she asked.

He got the hint and kissed her.

She wasted no time in using her tongue. Her movements were quite desperate.

"You seem pretty worked up," he noted. He touched her panties, which were completely soaked.

Asia nodded. Her face was red.

"Take them off," he ordered.

"Yes, Senpai."

Without hesitating, she got out of her panties.

He directed her to sit next to him with her knees spread apart.

She immediately did as he asked.

Issei put his hand between her legs.

"Senpai." She grabbed his hand.

"Put your hands behind your back."

"Okay." She folded them on her back, her hands grabbing her own elbows.

Now she couldn't interrupt him anymore.

"Ye, you really are bi-curious," he said. Her fluids coated his fingers quickly.

"No, it's because of you, Senpai," she argued.

He slipped in two fingers.

Asia breathed hard. "Sorry I'm not ready for the real thing yet. I really want to make you feel good, like Ruruko-chan, but…"

"It's okay. Don't worry about it, Asia."

"But-"

He shushed her. "I said don't worry about it. I want you to be ready for it."

"Senpai," Ruruko interrupted them. "Am I doing a good job?"

"Yeah. You're amazing, Ruruko. Go a bit deeper."

"Okay." Little gasps escaped her lips every time he went in fully.

"Are you gonna cum inside, or do you want to do it somewhere else?"

"Ye, Ruruko-chan," Asia said. "It has to be inside of you. It's your first time, it's only right."

"You're right, I'm sorry. Please cum inside of me, Senpai."

Fuck. He really wasn't going to last much longer like this.

"Senpai," Asia said. "Don't stop."

He worked her pussy faster. Not long after, Asia came hard on his fingers. Her fluids dripped down over his fingers on the covers.

"Thank you, Senpai." She gave him a long kiss. "You're the best."

"Don't stop," Issei said. "I'm gonna… " His hips started moving on their own, meeting every thrust from Ruruko-chan.

Asia got the hint and kissed him again. Her tongue pushed past his lips.

He reached up to grab her breast.

Oh fuck.

"Do it, Senpai," Ruruko said. "Right now. Cum inside of my virgin pussy."

That pushed him over the edge.

He finished, right inside of her.

Issei felt his body tense up for a moment, and then go limp.

Ruruko slowed down her movements, but didn't stop.

Asia slowly broke off the kiss.

"How was that?" she asked.

His ability to form a coherent phrase had spurted out as well it seemed.

It took him some time before he could reply.

"That was amazing."

Ruruko chuckled. "Glad you enjoyed that."

She kept moving slowly up and down until he had gotten so soft it slipped out.

He looked at Ruruko-chan. There was a sticky mess of his cum, some blood and her own fluids leaking out of her.

Ruruko was struggling a bit with it. She didn't want it to drip on Issei, but she didn't want to touch it with her hands either, so it simply dripped on the sheets.

"We're gonna have to clean the sheets I think," Asia said.

"Yeah, looks that way."

"Sorry," Ruruko said.
A sound disturbed them.

[Onii-chan, get up. Onii-chan?]

He chuckled. His alarm clock had a good sense of timing.

"Looks like it's time to get up," Asia said. She turned off the alarm.

"I suggest we take a shower first," he said.

"I second that idea," Ruruko finished.

They all got up.

Asia collected the sheets and their clothes. She took them with her and tossed them down in the hallway. They could take them downstairs after their shower.

Luckily there was a bathroom on this floor so they didn't have to walk around half the house naked.

Issei locked the door behind them. It was merely habit since his parents had their own bathroom on another floor.

Ruruko turned on the shower. They had a huge showerhead now which provided enough space to let them shower together.

He had decided not to complain about the ridiculous water usage or ask where Rias had found that thing.

They all got under the warm water.

"I think I'll need your help, Ise-senpai," Ruruko said.

"Me as well." Asia pushed her breasts against him.

"I'll gladly assist both of you then."

He picked up the shower gel.

"I really enjoyed that, Senpai," Ruruko said as he rubbed the shower gel over her breasts. "It hurt a bit at first, but then it felt good. I'm really glad we did that."

"Me too."

"Senpai," Asia said. She hugged him from behind. "You're not gonna focus only on her from now on, are you?"

"Of course not. I enjoyed what we did yesterday as well."

"You'll let me do it again sometime then?"

"Of course."

"Okay."

"Besides. I don't think it will be that long before you're ready to have real sex."

"I think you're right," Ruruko added. "Onii-chan."

Asia turned bright red. "We should hurry up," she changed the subject. "Rias-senpai will be here soon."

He chuckled.

After their shower, which took longer than was strictly necessary, he got dressed in his training outfit.

He had physical training with Rias on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday now.

"Technically you already had your physical training," Ruruko said. She put on her own jersey.

"Yeah. But I don't think that counts."

"Asia?" Ruruko turned to her. "Why are you putting on your PE-uniform?"

"I'm going with you," she announced. "I'm a devil for a few weeks now, I can keep up with the two of you."

Issei shrugged. "Good enough for me."

"Maybe I'll leave you behind," she said.

"Sure, sure."

They finished dressing and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Rias arrived halfway through.

"Sorry," Issei said. "We had a hard time getting out of bed this morning."

Ruruko suppressed a chuckle at 'hard time'.

"Don't worry about it," Rias said. "We have plenty of time. There are no fights coming. Not that I know of at least."

"Oh, by the way," Issei said. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Could you check on my Evil Pieces?"

She frowned. "I could, but I don't see why."

"To confirm something."

Still frowning, she put her hand on his chest.

A red glow appeared.

"Strange."

Rias looked very confused.

"Two of them?" he asked.

"Yeah. It looks like your single Mutation Piece has somehow split into two pieces. And one of them feels weird."

"Blue/white runes at the edges you mean? And a different aura?"

"How do you know that?"

"I had a dream about it."

"Hm," she said. "I'm by no means an expert, but I think that your Pawn permanently absorbed the rampant power in your body and split it off. This second Pawn still has your aura as the main aspect, and the other aura seems trapped inside."

"You mean that second Pawn contains Freed's power?"

"Yes. Have your nightmares stopped?"

"So far they have."

"It's strange for this to happen so suddenly," Rias said. "Did something happen yesterday or today?"

"Well, maybe."

If touching Ruruko's breast could make the nightmares go away for a few hours, then it wasn't such a stretch to think that doing more had somehow accomplished this.

Was the scene yesterday enough?

"But wait," he said. "Would that mean I can permanently use Freed's power? Without any Promotion?"

"Only one way to find out." Rias opened a portal and retrieved a gold handle.

Issei picked up the sword. It burst to life with red light.

"Wow."

"Interesting. Do you feel normal?"

"Yes. But, doesn't the power normally try to take over?" He turned the weapon back off.

"I think not," Rias said. "Your different powers stay dormant normally. When you Promote, your Pawn piece temporarily absorbs one of these dormant powers. So when you tried using it without Promotion, you made it go rampant inside your body. But with this Pawn holding the power for you, it's the same thing as Promoting. It should be safe, I think."

It was all a bit speculation of course, but given the precedents, it seemed to make sense. He did feel perfectly in control.

Still, to have his own Evil Piece split in two, that was pretty crazy. But even for a Mutation Piece, his Pawn was exceptional, so it wasn't that far fetched it had exceptional abilities too.

"It's almost as if this Pawn was designed for me. Isn't this awfully convenient?"

Rias shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe it was. Both your Pawn piece and your ability are unprecedented, so they could have the same origin for all we know. Which would certainly explain why they match so well. Or maybe your Pawn learned to do this. Evil Pieces have some evolutionary capacities. Just like Sacred Gears, they can grow and adapt to the needs of their user. Especially Pawns are known for this, since they have the ability to change by Promoting."

"Akeno-senpai will be sad," Ruruko said. "She doesn't need to suck out your power anymore."

"Well, maybe we should let her do it anyway," he said. "Just in case. You never know."

"I'm sure she wouldn't mind," Ruruko said.

"Anyway, are we going?" Rias asked.

"Yeah, sure."

They quickly cleaned up the table and went outside.

The girls started running. They were all very fast, but somehow, Issei managed to catch up with them.

"Since when can you keep up with us?" Rias asked.

"I don't know. Since today?"

"You're definitely running faster," Ruruko said, she was breathing hard.

"Yeah," Asia said.

"I think you'll be the ones left behind this time."

He sped up even further. All three girls trailed behind him.

"I think we're gonna take a different tour this time," he said.

"Hey," Rias complained.

He turned left instead of right.

Sometime later, they arrived in the park.

"Not fair," Rias said. She sat down on a bench to rest.

Issei looked at the fountain.

It had all begun here.

"It's over, isn't it?" Ruruko said. "Your nightmares are gone, I'm sure of it."

"Yeah," he replied. "Seems like I have it all under control now. William may be plotting more things, but I don't think we are involved in it. If we were, we would have noticed by now."

"So it's back to our boring lives then?"

"So you'd call this morning boring?"

She blushed. "I didn't mean it like that."

"This is much more fun than fighting for our lives. Who knows what surprises I have planned for you?"

"I'll look forward to it then."
"Hey," Asia said. She took his arm. "Don't leave me out."

"I wouldn't dare."

"You totally were."

"Actually I was just gonna ask your opinion on a triple date."

"A date?" she asked. "With the three of us?"

"Yep."

She and Ruruko shared a look.

"That sounds fun," Ruruko said.

"Count me in," Asia added.

"See," he said. "It's not the end. It's the beginning."

A/N:

-I'll upload some artwork I used as a reference for the nightgowns on my blog.

-Issei finally lost his virginity, so now we can all put down our pitchforks again. -The part about devils only being fertile in early March is part of the Red Ruin fanon created by me and fellow author WarsmithDantioch. Not gonna do the full explanation here because it is quite likely a fic will be published about it in the near future.

-So, in case it wasn't obvious, I've been wrapping things up for several chapters now and this was the final chapter (apart from the epilogue which is still coming). I know there are some loose ends. These might be addressed in a sequel, but for now I can't promise anything. All I can say is that there are some plans for some kind of sequel, maybe.

-As always, thanks for all the reviews.
