Chapter 24
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.
(Gremory Family Train)
With summer officially underway, Issei's found himself on a train owned by the Gremory family in order to head to the Underworld. Normally you'd be able to teleport without any restrictions but new devils had to take the normal way once. Ironically enough, this also included Murayama and Katase who may have been devils the year before but had to spend the summer with the kendo club since Murayama hadn't developed Gift of the Hydra to the point that she could clone herself for a whole summer. "This is fun" Issei commented as he sat in one of the cars drinking tea with Arthur and Bikou. Kiba was in the same room relaxing on a chair of his own while Kuroka was taking a nap on a sofa bed that Rias provided for the Nekoshu siblings to relax on. Bikou of course took a picture to tease Kuroka with later.
"It is rather refreshing and it's thanks to you that we have it this way." Arthur chuckled as he motioned towards a door leading to another room.
"Yeah" Issei chuckled as he thought about what happened a mere thirty minutes ago and at the fun that was taking place as they spoke.
Flashback
"Everyone, we'll arrive in the Underworld in about an hour. Until then everybody has free time in to do whatever they want." Rias smiled happily as she looked over her peerage and Vali's.
"Cool" Xenovia smiled before running over to Issei and planting her lips against his in a searing kiss.
"What are you doing Xenovia" Irina yelled out.
"Once we get to the underworld we'll be separated from Issei for a month because they'll be going to Vali's territory and I wanted to have some fun with him before that." Xenovia replied frankly causing Irina and a few other girls to blush since they were thinking the same thing.
"Just one problem Xenovia, Issei's only one guy and we won't have time for him to satisfy us all before we have to be presentable." Kiryuu pointed out causing most of that group to frown. She wanted her Issei time also but she didn't want to lose her virginity during an orgy.
"That's not true and you know it Kiryuu. He has access to Murayama's Gift of the Hydra dragonic clones and he could probably give us each an Issei." Le Fay reminded them causing those same girls to perk up. Issei could only chuckle at the whole scenario since the girls seemed to plan the time for him.
Kiryuu smiled since she was very much aware of that, "Yeah but here's the problem. We have you, Vali, Rias, Akeno, Murayama, Katase, Irina, Xenovia, and finally Raynare. Luckily for us Ravel and Xuelan already left because of Phenex family obligations but that means one of you is left out.
"Plus even if he uses Gift of the Hydra he's supposed to six at the most in order to prevent his dragonic instincts from firing up." Murayama revealed causing the tension to drop again. It was a rule that Murayama had with her usage of Gift of the Hydra and Vali told Issei to follow the same rules even though Ddraig could counteract some of it. It was clear that an orgy was happening the question was how. The solution ended up coming from a fascinating source.
"How about this, one clone gets the kendo duo; one clone gets the triad; the church girls can share an Issei, and Le Fay and Raynare can share a final one." Bikou of all people suggested catching everybody off guard.
"Damn" Issei chuckled not expecting that from the normally simple minded monkey.
"That's pretty kinky Bikou." Kuroka added.
"As much as it annoys me, that's probably the easiest way." Vali admitted.
"I'm game ufufufu. It'll be like old times for me and Rias." Akeno said lustfully.
"Akeno!" Rias blushed being reminded of the times they experimented with one another before Issei became a part of their life.
"I'm gonna puke" Koneko groaned being opposed to most perversion. She was glad that her sister was with Bikou but because of her hatred of perverts they typically either had fun at Bikou's house or used a barrier.
"Well that's fine with me. Though I'm surprised you don't wanna join the fun Kiryuu." Issei smiled enjoying everything that was happening.
"All in good time Issei." Kiryuu smiled bitterly something quite a few girls noticed. She clearly wanted her moment but on her terms.
"So where are we doing this?" Vali wondered.
"We can use the next trail car and everyone else can relax." Rias suggested.
"Alright but to make it fair, everyone's using a Gift of the Hydra clone and I'll stay here for some quality time with the guys" Issei explained. Although there was a collective groan from the girls, the orgy went on as planned.
Flashback End
"I envy you dude, all those girls want you and the only question is which one will you fuck." Bikou chuckled as the real Issei relaxed sipping his tea. The orgy was taking place right now and Issei was amused as hell.
"Kuroka would be pretty mad to hear you say that." Arthur chided as the group continued to drink their tea.
"Yeah but Kuroka knows that I like her and her alone. Issei here probably couldn't chose one if he tried." Bikou replied with a smile.
"That's right" Kuroka smiled as Koneko slept on her lap.
"It's kinda ironic isn't it? This time a few months ago Issei was one of the most hated guys in Kuoh Academy. Now he's got a harem that's only going to grow" Kiryuu teased from the book she was reading.
"Your telling me, but let's change the subject I think Asia over here is uncomfortable with the discussion." Issei reminded the group as they turned towards the nun now occupying the couch. While Issei Bikou and Kiryuu were perverts, Asia was as sheltered as they got and up until now she was rarely involved in most of his shenanigans. Kiryuu did tease her a bit but that was it up until this point.
"I'm surprised you didn't bring up our knight friend Issei." Arthur smirked changing the focus to Kiba who was leaning against the wall reading a book.
"Oh don't worry about me." Kiba smiled back in his usual nonchalant manor.
Issei couldn't help but sneer at Kiba's lack of reaction, "Yeah I'm not worried about you Kiba. You could have as much fun as I do if you actually decided to give a damn instead of focusing on what happened with Excalibur. We get along now but it's kinda hard to not wanna punch you in the face for how much you ignored girls up until now." Issei scoffed.
"Well now you have plenty of girls to choose from, but we can discuss that another time since you were changing the subject" Kiba retorted in a rare show of emotion. He was working on being more social since his past was settled but it was a low blow.
"I'll go into another car and read. You guys can continue without me." Asia said bashfully. She wasn't as sheltered as before but Issei's sex life was an awkward subject to say the least.
"No that's fine. We can table this discussion for later. In fact why don't you bring up something for us to talk about Asia?" Issei said calmly. Asia was a bit of a sexual blind spot for him and he didn't know much about her or care much for her. He figured this was as good of a time as any to find out more about her.
Asia looked at the group nervously since she really didn't have much to talk about, "What is it like, being in love with somebody?" Asia wondered catching the group off guard.
"Didn't see that coming" Kiryuu admitted.
"I'll answer you Asia since I'm the only one well suited for it." Arthur replied. He knew that Bikou and Kuroka's relationship was primarily physical and Issei could hardly answer because of his harem. Kiryuu of course had feelings for Issei but she could hardly call it love, "Being in love is difficult to describe to somebody who hasn't felt it before." Arthur admitted also which was a rather horrible answer.
"So are all of those girls in love with Issei? I was always told that procreation is something you only do with people you love." Asia added.
Everyone looked to Issei who was rather unsure of how to answer it. Asia was blissfully naïve and this was yet another example, "The only one I can say is definitely in love with me is Irina since she's cared for me since we were kids. Xenovia and Akeno rely on me to give them strength because of what happened to them in the past. Rias thinks of me as her White Knight and I don't really know about the others." Issei admitted.
"So why do they sleep with you then?" Asia said calmly.
A part of him was hurt by the innocent question but he had to answer, "Honestly I don't know. I'm not complaining but I don't know." Issei admitted. He never really thought about why he was as lucky as he was. He just went with it
"Worry about all of that later. The girls are about to return." Ddraig replied interrupting proceedings.
"Got it" Issei smiled. "We can discuss this at another date Asia." Issei smiled as the door opened and one by one, the girls returned to the room. They all looked immaculate despite having just been involved in an orgy which was a bit comical.
"Alright everybody we should be arriving soon to the checkpoint." Rias said calmly.
"Works for me" Issei smiled as he took another sip of his tea.
"Good" Irina chuckled as she sat on Issei's lap.
"Really Irina" Issei deadpanned. She just spent the last 40 minutes having sex with him. Did she really have to cling to him like that?
"What, I wanted to cuddle with my childhood friend." Irina said unabashed as she snuggled into Issei's arms."
"If that ain't love I don't know what is" Kiryuu chuckled appreciating the situation.
"I see" Asia replied unsure of what else to talk about.
"Did we miss something" Vali said in confusion.
"Yes but I can tell you later." Issei smiled as Irina snuggled in and Issei had a wry smile on his face. Summer was off to quite the start.
(Scene Skip)
The long ride had come to an end and the group finally arrived at Rias's territory. "Ms Gremory, it's time for you and your peerage to depart" a butler who had been looking after the group up until then.
"Alright thank you" Rias said calmly.
"Have fun Rias and I guess I'll see you at the meeting" Vali said bitterly. This was the part of the day that she was going to enjoy the least because now she had to return to her meager territory.
"Bye Issei" Akeno smiled before walking over to the Issei and kissing him on the cheek despite Irina still being nestled in his chest.
"Me too" Xenovia insisted walking over and kissing him just as Xenovia did. Amusingly enough Rias didn't kiss him but Issei figured that she wanted to be professional from now on.
"Bye girls" Issei smiled As Rias and her peerage left the train and made her way towards her house the Butler turned to Vali.
"Ms Lucifer I assume you want to be taken to your territory as well?" the butler questioned
"Yes I would." Vali replied as the butler left to prepare the next part of the voyage.
"Hey Vali mind if I ask something?" Issei said calmly despite Irina still being pressed against him.
Vali's normally calm demeanor soured because she was well aware of what Issei was going to ask. "I know what you're going to ask and the answer is that where we're staying is technically part of Rias's territory, but it was given to me by the Gremory's so I had a place of my own."
"I see" Issei replied. Vali was technically a Lucifer but because of her horrible relationship with her family she couldn't exactly go to Lucifer territory. He was curious where Vali would stay since they clearly weren't staying at Rias's home.
"I'm surprised you picked that up so easily." Arthur said calmly taking his face out of the book he was reading.
"I am her queen after all. I should know this type of thing" Issei smirked remembering his position.
"I'm gonna warn you ahead of time that it's not gonna be what you'd expect." Vali said bitterly. Her territory was large but her home was a simple 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house overlooking a large mountain range. That was enough up until now since Bikou and Kuroka were sleeping with each other and Arthur and Le Fay could share a room as siblings. Ravel could go back to the Phenex household and Murayama and Katase couldn't be there because of human obligations so they didn't factor in.
"That's fine" Issei smiled as the group made their way towards Vali's territory at last.
(Scene Skip)
"You know this actually ain't too bad" Issei smiled as he stood in front of Vali's home. Issei expected a large cabin in the woods but instead he was met with a small ranch style mansion painted silver white with two floors and more than enough space for everybody. There was even a decent sized lake nearby that had clearly just formed.
(Think of it as Rias's summer home from Vol 1 but surrounded by mountain's instead of forest.
"What the hell" Vali gasped not expecting the new house. When she arrived at the door, she noticed a note was waiting for it and from the dust gathered it was there for a while.
'A lot has changed for you Vali and I figured that you would need a place more suitable for training then that little home.'
Love,
Azazel
"That guy" Vali teared up realizing that the reason Azazel was absent a week ago was to help remodel her home. No doubt Sirzechs had helped as well.
"Looks like Azazel still looks after you huh Vali" Issei smiled glad that his master was given a home she deserved.
"Yep and it's time to get started." Vali smiled happily as the group moved in. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
(Scene Skip)
The group took around thirty minutes to move into their rooms and get changed into their gym clothes before meeting in what amounted to the garden. Issei and Vali went with long sleeved tracksuits; Issei's being red and black with black sneakers and Vali's silver and blue with blue sneakers. Murayama and Katase each went with their kendo uniforms while Bikou Arthur Kuroka and Le Fay each chose their usual outfits. Finally Irina and Raynare each went with skintight uniforms, Irina's being dark blue with Raynare's being purple and matching sneakers. "So everyone, are you ready for some training?" Vali smiled as she focused on the whole group.
"Yeah" everyone announced before splitting off into groups. Arthur and Irina spared using their blades with Arthur using Caliburn and Irina using Ascalon having been sent it by Michael a week ago. Murayama and Katase were sparing with each other using their respective swords while Bikou and Kuroka traded blows by the lake. The most interesting pairing was Raynare and Vali sparing with each other leaving Issei to his own devices for once. Would that change when Ravel and Xuelan arrived in a few days, perhaps but for now Issei was alone.
"I'm surprised that Vali would leave you alone partner." Ddraig lectured as Issei meditated in the mountains by himself.
"Vali fears my power way more than she wants to admit, and if we spar it could bring back the rivalry between our dragons. Our only real battles are in the sack" Issei replied with a wry smile.
"I see and because you've still subservient to her she's okay with that." Ddraig assumed.
"Correct." Issei smiled.
"So how are we going to do this?" Ddraig wondered.
"I'll spar with myself for a little bit. No boosted gear just raw power." Issei smiled as he focused his magic and created a dragonic clone that looked exactly like him.
"Shall we begin" the clone smirked.
"Yes" Issei replied as the two Issei's charged each other.
(Scene Skip)
An hour passed until Issei was joined in the clearing by his master. "How's your training going Vali." Issei smiled as his master arrived.
"It's going well but we need to have a chat." Vali said sternly.
"About what" Issei replied with a smile on his face. Just like earlier, he was well aware of what his master was after.
"During the three factions meeting, stay away from Diodora Astaroth."
Issei couldn't help but smile, "And what makes you think I'd go after the little pervert." Issei smiled. He was very much planning on killing Diodora when he found him at the meeting.
"Because I wanted to do the same thing and we are very much alike. He was the one who set up Raynare to die and if he's targeted Asia once, he'll do it again." Vali replied with clear venom in her voice.
Issei was confused, "Given all of that, why shouldn't I kill him." Issei protested. He was asking for it and Issei could do it discreetly because of his powers.
"Because now isn't the time to do it. When he eventually betrays us, and we both know he will you can have fun but until then we wait." Vali instructed. Vali hated letting a known traitor go and when Diodora made his move, he would pay. Plus he had a soft spot for Asia since she was still blissfully innocent despite what happened to her. No it was because she didn't know what happened to her that she was this way.
"Fine" Issei agreed. After all Sirzechs clearly planned on using the rating games to deal with the Khaos Brigade and that meant his chance would come.
"Good and it's time for lunch so come on back." Vali ordered.
"Fine" Issei smiled as the pair came down the mountains.
(Scene Skip)
Nightfall arrived and a smiling Issei relaxed in his room. It had a queen sized bed no doubt for him to enjoy multiple girls at once and a simple television along with a dresser and closet. It was also soundproof which meant that it had one purpose and one purpose only; for Issei to enjoy the various women who wanted to sleep with him. "I wonder which girl will join me tonight." Issei smiled. After the massive orgy yesterday and what was no doubt difficult training he was curious who would show up. All of the sudden a magic circle appeared in his room and as Ravel Phenex and Xuelan popped out Issei couldn't help but smile. No doubt she came over here in order to visit despite dealing with whatever the Phenex clan had her doing.
"Good evening Issei" Ravel smiled dressed in a sheer pink nightgown that showed off the bare breasts and red panties underneath.
"I hope you have a little energy left for us" Xuelan smiled appearing in just a black bra with matching black thong that showed off her incredible body.
"Of course" Issei smiled. The first day of training was off to a solid start and his night was ending gloriously.
(Scene Skip)
The first week was pretty much what Issei expected it would be. Training in the morning, relaxing in the afternoon, and sex with his harem in the evening. Murayama Katase Vali Le Fay and Irina each got a day to their own with Ravel and Xuelan getting the last two solo days because they joined the rest of the peerage. On this particular morning Issei was on his way to Rias's territory in order to visit his Gremory harem and to see how Rias was doing. During the orgy Rias got Vali to agree that he would spend a day with them so they could get Issei time of their own. "So Issei are you ready?" Irina smiled as she went with Issei because she wanted to visit Xenovia.
"Yeah and I've owed Kiryuu this for some time." Issei admitted. Kiryuu was a good girl and the change she made did her some good. He really had no excuses for why he had taken so long but he was making up for it now.
"Master Hyoudou Ms Shidou we'll be arriving shortly." The conductor of the train called out.
"It's time" Issei smiled as he got up. He was dressed in a simple black jacket with red t-shirt and some pants while Irina was in a blue t-shirt with black shorts that was halfway to her knees.
(Scene Skip)
After being driven in a small limousine to the Gremory family mansion, Issei finally gazed upon the Gremory mansion and he was fairly impressed. The colonial style mansion was enormous and the large fountain and incredible garden were just one of the things that caught him off guard. "Man this place looks like a palace compared to Vali's place." Irina gasped.
"I imagine Vali is fine with that." Issei smiled. Vali never seemed like the type for all this opulence as far as he was concerned. As the pair approached the mansion, the Door opened and the pair was met by Rias who was in a red v-neck blouse that showed off her incredible breasts and a black skirt. Simple but gorgeous.
"How are you guys" Rias smiled walking up to Irina and hugging her before wrapping her arms around Issei in a large hug pressing her breasts against Issei's chest.
"We're fine thanks" Irina replied with a huff.
"It's nice to see you Rias but we can catch up later." Issei smiled.
"Oh fine" Rias pouted as she brought Issei and Irina to the group who was relaxing in the living room.
"Hey there Issei" Akeno smiled walking up to Issei and giving him a large hug.
"Hey to you to" Issei smiled before adjusting towards her ear. "Thanks for holding back, I'll reward you later." Issei whispered.
"Got it" Akeno shuddered pulling away before Xenovia took her place.
"It's nice to see you Issei" Xenovia smiled getting her own hug but unlike Rias and Akeno who controlled themselves, Xenovia pressed her lips against Issei's stealing a quick kiss.
"Really Xenovia" Irina deadpanned.
"Hey, we get a day with him before he goes back to Vali and we won't see him for a while. I want to enjoy this while I can" Xenovia replied.
"True" Irina groaned unable to counter the argument.
"Well why don't I have Grayfia give you guys a tour and we can get started" Rias chuckled since Xenovia did have a point. Then again the girls would all have some Issei time and at night he would take Kiryuu at last. Because of Issei's power he would no doubt get stronger but Rias understood that Kiryuu deserved her own happiness.
(Scene Skip)
Nightfall arrived and the next day he was planning to return to Vali's side but there was one more task he had to do. After the tour, Issei took a dip in the hot springs and he was joined by Rias and Akeno who enjoyed a very tasty threesome. After a nice lunch he spent some time with Xenovia and Irina and once again he enjoyed another threesome. The afternoon consisted of some simple training with Kiba and Koneko since the girls were worn out. Dinner was pretty nice and now the time had come for his night visit with Kiryuu. "Here we go" Issei smiled as he knocked on the door of Kiryuu's room. Issei was dressed in a simple white shirt and beige cargo shorts but he knew they wouldn't be on for long.
"Come on in" Kiryuu called out and Issei opened the door expecting to be met with Kiryuu in her new appearance but he was pleasantly surprised to see Kiryuu sitting on the bed in some simple blue pajamas in her original appearance and Peke was sleeping on the desk next to her bed.
"Well this is a pleasant surprise, I figured you'd be in your new look." Issei smiled walking over to the bed.
Kiryuu looked up and she was slightly annoyed by the situation. She wanted to use her new appearance but Tiamat convinced her to use her natural self. "Tia convinced me because she said that I need to face my feelings."
"I see" Issei smiled.
"Can I ask you something Issei?" Kiryuu wondered nervously.
"Sure" Issei replied.
"Would we be doing this if I didn't have Tiamat's power?" Kiryuu asked with a frown.
Issei paused because of all the things he expected to be asked, this was not one of them. "That would be up to you Kiryuu."
"What's that supposed to mean" Kiryuu yelled out in frustration.
This was going to be awkward for Issei and he knew it, "Even in your pigtailed appearance you were a cute girl. The problem was that you always antagonized us." Issei admitted.
"What was I supposed to do? I wasn't as cute as Murayama or Katase and I'm not as busty as Rias or Akeno. The only way I can even stand out is by using PEKE!" Kiryuu yelled standing up at last. What Issei didn't know was that Kiryuu had received multiple love letters since her transformation and turned them all down. She was all but certain that she wouldn't have received any of them if not for her new familiar changing her look.
"Oh you were always cute Kiryuu. I once pressed Matsuda and Motohama and they both admitted you were cute." Issei smiled as he walked towards the bed. It was actually comical to see them admit Kiryuu was cute.
"What about you" Kiryuu said bashfully as she looked at Issei with tears in her eyes.
Issei smiled as he walked up to Kiryuu and cupped her face with his right hand, "Does this answer your question." Issei smiled as he leaned in and connected his lips to Kiryuu's for a quick kiss.
"Yes" Kiryuu responded with a smile on her face. At last she could have the boy she liked and this time. He was hers and hers alone.
That's it for Chapter 24 everybody. Next time Issei's night with Kiryuu ends up benefiting Issei far more than he originally expected and a surprise meeting
