Here we will see what had happened to Issei Hyoudou that made him into the Heroic Spirit Lancer.
Chapter 8
Lancer looked at the night sky as he remembered all that he went through in life when he was a human. Life was simple yet boring for him. He was a human who attended high school and had a great appreciation for the female body but he honestly had no idea how his life had turned a complete 180 just like that.
"I can still remember when I killed for the first time. It was my first girlfriend who actually wanted to kill me, because of my Sacred Gear." He closed his eyes as he went into memory lane about his past.
Flashback
He didn't have a brilliant mind as a genius, nor an outstanding courage as a superhero. And yet, Fate had chosen him as the successor of Boosted Gear, a weapon that was said to be able to kill God if fully mastered.
And it all started with a false date with a Fallen Angel.
Being an unpopular and non-remarkable person for most of his life, Issei was somehow confessed by a young beauty by the name of Yumma Amano. Needless to say, he was thrilled beyond comprehension and made the best plan he could come up with for their first date.
Everything was going smoothly according to his fantasy, until at the end of their date, that girlfriend of Issei's asked him.
'Would you die for me?'
After that, it all happened so fast in a blur, and before he could regain himself, a red gauntlet had already replaced his current left arm, along with the bloody body of a Fallen Angel that was his so called girlfriend moments ago.
He hit himself to make sure he wasn't hallucinating or possibly dreaming until the reality of the situation kicked it.
He had just murdered someone.
Although that person was trying to kill him first, it didn't change the fact that he had taken life of another living being away. And that fact scared him. It terrified him.
Never, even in his wildest dream, could Issei possibly fathom the very thought or idea of killing someone, much less than actually doing it. Add to the fact that he had discovered an unnatural power and a world he had no knowledge of until now.
Worst of all, his ordeal didn't stop there.
For whatever reason it was, the force that his supposed 'girlfriend' belonged to had begun chasing him down. Issei had to abandon everything he had once held and lost everyone he had known that cared for him had perished by his 'girlfriends' associates of to escape, including his own parents.
It took years and years for him to train himself as well as eluding his pursuers in every single step, going wherever his legs brought him to.
Eventually, he was physically strained from running away from his pursuers and emotionally drained from losing everyone that he cared for. He couldn't place his trust in anyone else but himself and continued to run senselessly, not knowing whether a tomorrow will ever come for him at all.
Along the way, during his lonely journey, a hole started to appear inside his soul, and it eventually became hollow.
...
On one peaceful day – a day that he deemed safe enough to relax – while Issei was pondering the meaning of the gauntlet in his left arm and the dragon dwelling inside it, one particular man approached him.
He introduced himself as Cao Cao, the descendant of the famous ruler with the same name of Wei dynasty in the ancient history of China.
Issei's first impression of the man was that he is an intellect and cunning person, which was obvious from the way he talked as well as which manner he carried himself.
He told Issei what exactly is the kind of this world they are living in, from which he only had some glimpse of from his occasional communication with Ddraig, and that he also wielded another top-ranked Sacred Gear, the True Longinus.
But most of all, he had come to the boy to offer him an invitation to join his group, the Heroes of Gaia, to fight for humanity against all kinds of non-human beings together with many other people who are either descendants of legendary heroes or wielders of Sacred Gears just like them.
Truth to be told, for the first time since the abandonment of his previous life, Ise was genuinely excited.
Excited that he had found a way to escape this meaningless manhunt from an unknown force which he previously had no power to resist. Excited that he could become an ally of justices for human just like those movies and stories he loved when he was still a child. And excited that he might have finally attained an answer to the meaning of his own existence, a question that he been constantly asking himself.
Needless to say, the boy had agreed to join in a heartbeat.
From that point on, a seemingly path of hope had stretched out before him. He underwent all kinds of brutal trainings, all forms of mental hardships, and all sorts of deadly clashes with forces from various realms. Despite how every single one of the enemies Ise encountered mocked him that he was the weakest host of the Boosted Gear's history, he usually betrayed their expectations of him and proved them just what amazing achievement a human can pull off given enough will.
And with each battle he came through, the brown-haired boy simply fortified his strength further and hardened his will tougher.
It was a path of glory for him. He was like also able to gain a sense of warmth and comfort from three people who stood by his side.
The first was the knight known as Jeanne. She was the holder of the Maid of New Orleans who had helped Issei learn swordsmanship and how to become a stronger ally. She even helped him learn how to trust others once more.
Secondly, Asia was an excommunicated nun that Issei and his partner saved from the Fallen that wanted to take her Sacred Gear. The nun at first was scared of the two but thanks to Issei, she was able to warm up to them and ask for help.
Lastly, was Irina. His childhood friend was told what had happened to her friend and wanted to save him so she to Kuoh Town and paid respect towards the Hyoudou family before having to face Kokabiel with her partner Xenovia. The two were outmatched and were almost killed but then the Red Dragon saved them and after the fight. Irina wanted to leave the Angel faction and stay at his side. So she did so.
The four made a vow that they would die together on the battlefield should the day come before they could rest after the war and enjoy peace but no matter how glorious he became, there was still an emptiness lying inside his heart as if he was missing something. He kept telling himself that it was nothing, but deep down, he knew better than anyone else about the truth.
After all, how can you hide hollowness when it's literally there to greet you every time you confronted yourself?
He hated himself because after each kill it felt like his humanity was slipping away and eventually his lifeline that had helped him retain that small part of his kindness and warmth had vanished.
...
Inevitably, just like every Boosted Gear host before him, Issei had come face to face with his nemesis, the current bearer of Divine Dividing, Vali Lucifer.
The rumors that he was strong was a very big understatement. The man was atrociously powerful, far stronger than any opponent that the brown-haired boy had fought with, and it didn't help much that he also carried the blood of the original Lucifer, one of the mightiest Devils ever known to walk both Heaven and Underworld, thus making him the strongest Hakuryukou.
Human against Half-Devil, Red turned Crimson against White turned Silver, and one who fought for protection against one who fought to seek strength.
Their battle was bloody and devastating.
Despite having fought valiantly, in the end, Issei was still overwhelmed by Vali. As such, the battle almost concluded with the latter's triumph but during the last moments, Issei was consumed by Ddraig's wrath due to his near-death state and tap into his own life force, summoning the ultimate form of his Sacred Gear, the «Crimson Welsh Juggernaut Drive» mode.
The battle raged on again, and after what seemed like an endless show of carnage and destruction, Issei came out victorious, slaying Vali in the process.
However, every power comes with a price, and the boy had to pay his short-lived victory with his own soul.
Somewhere inside him, though, he thought that this might be the best outcome. The boy who had once lived a carefree and normal life started to gradually lose his purpose with each battle he threw himself into, deluded by his own strength, until he became nothing more than a soulless husk. Death on a battlefield was how he envisaged his end, and since his vision came true, he believed that he had finally earned a peaceful finale to his life full of violence.
If only he had known what a hollow peace it was.
...
Even though every life normally ended with death, to Issei, however, Fate seemed to have disagreed on that, in a way that was both kind and cruel.
Cao Cao was a sly man, by all accounts, and he would not let one of his greatest pawns to die so easily. So he used the Holy Grail, which he had just stolen beforehand, to revive Issei completely with both his Boosted Gear and Vali's Divine Dividing in a body made of dragon flesh, a feat that had never been possible until now, hoping that he would be able to create and command the most powerful being that could rival even Great Red and Ophis.
But he couldn't foresee that he was attacked immediately when Issei emerged from the Well of Souls and caught him off guard.
The brown-haired boy was not his usual self anymore. Having dwelled inside the consciousness of so many fallen beings, he gained a massive amount of knowledge, and the wisdom to understand that his former comrade's intentions were not what he claimed to be, that his actions would eventually lead to mankind's downfall. Thus, Ise had decided that he would have to end Cao Cao's life himself.
At first, Cao Cao was overpowered by the newly resurrected Ise as he had both Dragon Emperors at their fullest strength, given the kind of body he had, which later forced the man to use the forbidden form of True Longinus, «Truth Edea».
Ironically enough, True Longinus had a will of its own, and during the moments of activating «Truth Edea», it had chosen Issei's ideal instead of its original master.
It went without saying that the Chinese man met his demise, but not before he left his last words of advice for the boy.
"The powers you wield shall be the end of yourself."
Acknowledging the man's words respectfully, Ise took over True Longinus and Holy Grail, embarked on another conquest to protect humanity all by himself, believing that no one else beside him could shoulder the burden.
At this point, the hollowness had enveloped his whole soul, and the once naïve boy was only a shell of his former self, fighting a battle he had no hope of ending, all but forgotten the desire to seek an answer to his previously mortal existence.
...
After the battle with Cao Cao, Issei returned to the Hero Faction headquarters to see that everyone he knew was slaughtered and killed in a very gruesome way. Issei hoped that his friends were alright and safe from the destruction but his heart sank as he entered their shared room to see that their heads were lopped off of their bodies and were placed on a spike.
A note was under Jeanne's head as it read.
'A foolish hero to the end. A girl who will never experience love. And a friend who you let die. Some hero you turned out to be.
Sincerely, R.L.
P.S. Come and Get Me.
End Flashback
"And that's how my life ended up a living hell."
His trip down memory lane was exhausting but remembered a phenomenon that had happened to him after he finally ended the war after killing Trihexa and Rizevim. The Biblical Factions despised him but there were those who did call him a hero but he didn't feel like one.
Issei felt like he was doing the cleanup and didn't give a care about what others said about him. In the end, he never did feel like he saved anyone. He couldn't save his family, his friends from school, his lovers in his faction, he couldn't save even himself.
The Hollow feeling never went away even when he finally succumbed to his wounds after the long war and countless battles he faced. He finally found a place where he could Rest In Peace. He found a beautiful pasture of red flowers and a tree that provided enough shade to feel cool and sunlight to feel warm. Issei faintly smiled as he walked to the tree before placing his back against the tree.
He sighed deeply as he breathed in the fresh air and placed the spear next to him and enjoyed the peace as it brought some form of comfort to him but the hollow feeling still dwelled within him and he he finally decided that it was his time to die.
As he slowly died, the Boosted Gear and the Divine Dividing came out and he couldn't hear the spirits within him but he was content with that. Issei sighed deeply as he wished things had played out differently. The Holy Grail glowed dimly as it entered his mind and showed him the first Issei Hyoudou's memories.
Suddenly before he died, a strange sense of sentiment washed over him, together with memories of another life that he had no knowledge of.
Memories where he had met and become a certain Devil's servant, memories where he could still living his days normally as a student despite the frequent battles he engaged in, and memories where everybody around him became the comrades that he could trust his life with, even including his once enemies. Then it changed to him surrounded by multiple women who loved him and started a family with him. The way it looked was beautiful. Too beautiful to be true and yet Issei felt many different emotions swirling inside his mind.
Relief and Anger, Gratification and Envy, Contentment and Resentment. Oh how he desired that life so, how he craved for that life so, yet still couldn't do anything but to be glad that somewhere in the other timeline and dimension, another Issei was having a happy life. Filled with love and warmth.
The warrior closed his eyes one last time before his death welcomed him with open arms.
Issei Hyoudou had died and the Heroic Spirit HYOUDOU was born.
Lancer knew that Cao Cao would continue his madness and try to 'save' humanity and 'help' mankind but he knew better so Lancer would standby and save his rage for the time being and when the time comes Cao Cao will be no more.
The end of Cao Cao was coming
At the Kyoto Temple
Issei, Viser, and Asia were in front of the castle and all three of them were amazed by the size of it. Viser was the first one to break the awkward tension and said. "I thought we were going to a beach or something but this is insane."
Asia and Issei nodded in agreement as they continued to see the giant mansion. Suddenly, the doors were burst open and a golden haired blur flew towards him.
"IIIIIIIISSSSSSEEEEEEIIIIIIIIII!!!"
Issei was hit in the head by the blur and chibi Tamamo's were dancing around his head. "Did anyone get the number of the truck that just hit me?" The girls giggled at his misfortune until Issei looked at his chest and saw a certain fox girl that he met during one of his classes.
"Kunou? Is that you." The fox girl nodded and smiled before nuzzling into his neck. "I'm happy to see you again. When Lady Leviathan told me that you three would be spending your summer here in Kyoto, I begged my mother to let you all stay here." She smiled a beautiful smile that made Issei and the other males smile warmly at the 'innocent' child. Tamamo, Frankenstein, and Mordred had to applaud the fox's effort to woo their master. Mordred was still jealous because of the child having a bigger bust than her.
'Why do other girls besides my father have a flat chest? There's more to women than a giant ballon sized chest. There's also a nice set of abs.'
Tamamo snickered at her and the knight glared at her with her sword in the air. "Anything you want to say you slutty fox?" Tamamo nodded. "Would you preferr to dress as a boy and show off your tomboy side but it doesn't matter either way since you don't have what we actual women use to seduce men."
Mordred saw the chest jiggle as she growled at the fox. Said fox traced her chest and her curves as she explained it to the knight. Mordred was sad as she looked at herself and noticed that she didn't even have any feminine qualities. She glares at her before stomping over to her gate and closing it. Tamamo had a victorious smirk on her face before going to her gate. EMIYA sighed as he recalled that Mordred may act like a tomboy but she's still a girl at heart. Whether she liked it or not.
Meanwhile, Issei was petting the fox's ears and Asia smiled at the sight until a pair of hands wrapped around her back and squeezed her breasts. Asia squeaked as she looked to see a blond haired woman giggle perversely as she fondled Asia's fun bags. "Wow, Issei you sure know how to pick them." She reached in her shirt and Asia began to moan as the ninja massaged her chest in the right spots until she had a small orgasm.
Katsuragi smiled. "So sensitive. I really want to climb your trunk and take a bite of your forbidden fruit of you know what I me-!" Katsuragi's head was caught in the hands of a young woman with a voluptuous figure and very long blonde hair with matching eyes.
She was a woman with delicate facial features and her eyebrows were cut very short and rounded as a symbol of nobility. Her hair was tied in a loose ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs that ends in a spiral, with taut bandages to keep it in place. She wore a traditional shrine maiden attire, and over that she wore a white coat held closed by a red ribbon and a golden crown.
"Now. Now. That's enough out of you Mrs. Perverted Ninja. Be grateful that I even allow you here beau see if it wasn't for Kunou, I'd make sure you weren't even within 5 feet of her." She squeezed the ninjas head tighter as she screamed. "Please let me go! I was just playing around and your one to talk Mrs. Widow for life. It's not my fault I look both ways and see a beautiful pair before me." She looks at Issei with stars in her eyes.
"You'd understand don't you?" Issei blushed as he scratched his cheeks and gave a thumbs up. Katsuragi grinned as she broke free and hid behind him as a shield. "Take the boy's special seed. Dragons do love beautiful women's and you definitely enjoy it.~"
WHAM!
Katsuragi was on the ground with a small fountain of blood coming out of her head and she was writing in her blood.
'Killed by sexy MILF.'
The others were scared as Yasaka turned to them and smiled. "Hello and welcome to my temple. I am e Leader of the Youkai Faction. My name is Yasaka. The pervert here was actually recommended by the school to train in the art of Senjutsu at my temple for the summer and as you can imagine she's made quite the impression."
Issei chuckled at the leader until he bowed to her and introduced himself. "My name is Issei Hyoudou. I'm the Pawn of the Maou Serafall Leviathan and the Red Dragon Emperor of this generation."
Yasaka smiled at his manners before turning to the girls. Asia and Viser bowed to her before they introduced themselves. "My name is Asia Argento. The Bishop of Rias Gremory." Viser gave a proper bow before introducing herself. "Names Viser and I'm actually the only Knight in the peerage of Serafall Leviathan."
Issei was surprised by this and asked. "Hold on. When did that happen?" Viser explained. "Well it was shortly after we broke the familiar contract and while you were resting after the battle with Kokabiel, I asked Serafall to reincarnate me into one of her pieces. She gave me the knight and now here we are. Don't worry Issei. I wanted to stand by you and I meant it so when the old farts in the Devil Council sees how awesome you are and become a High Class Devil then you can count me in."
Asia nodded. "And I as well." Issei smiled at he two before thanking them. Yasaka and Serafall saw how the boy was becoming more comfortable around the girls and even Katsuragi, who finally got up. Serafall knew he was improving and it's because of his strength and warmth that she actually wanted to become his Queen after he becomes strong enough to take the title of Leviathan.
She still remembered her meeting with her family and just a few weeks ago and the date the two of them went on after the finals as well as the special night when they became one. It was to celebrate his promotion which was kept secret from the others.
Flashback. Sitri Family Mansion.
CLANG!
Serafall dropped her fork as she asked her mother. "Can you please repeat what you just said." Lady Sitri knew where this was going and sighed.
"I deeply regret that I have to do this..." her mother continued. "Sera-chan, although you are one of the four Great Satans, or devil kings; as a female devil, you will get engaged to another man, one way or another," she revealed in a very reluctant voice.
The Leviathan narrowed her eyes a bit. "W-What?"
"Your father should have told you about this long ago, before you accepted the position," she explained further. "Being a Maou doesn't last an eternity, As you already know, Sera-chan. Once you have served 100 years, or a century as a devil king, you can resign anytime from office and live as a normal devil again, passing the title to a worthy candidate. Since the time in the underworld is faster than how time is in the real world, it's not hard to say that you have only one year left before reaching the appropriate number of years to settle into retirement. You know that you are going to have to retire eventually, no matter what happens. And once that time comes, you must find a suitor who will marry you."
Serafall's eyes were as wide as tennis balls, shocked with what she has heard from her mother. "W-Why do I have to marry somebody?" she asked, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Her tone made her sound like she was either scared or nervous, which is something that Lady Siena caught immediately.
"We are truly sorry, Sera-chan... but the pure-blooded community won't recover by itself in an instant and you know that as the Leviathan. You must find a worthy suitor now, or we will have no choice but to choose one for you, just like what Zeoticus and Venelana have done to their daughter. You don't have to make the decision now, Sera-chan, because you are still a devil king. Use your position to your advantage and look for a worthy husband now, and there is no need to rush, my dear. You have all the time in the world to choose."
The twin-tailed girl didn't respond afterwards.
Lord Sven spoke up next. "We will support any decision you make, Serafall... you are mature enough to make the right choices for yourself... I believe that you will find the perfect man for you."
It seemed that Serafall lost the ability to speak when she began opening and closing her mouth several times. The shock overtook her that she almost felt like she needed another stress-relieving session in the bathroom. She needed to find a suitor? She never knew about that! Serafall Leviathan never really gave a care about romance due to her love for her sister and her position itself. Besides, her parents never really told her about it until now. For a second, she felt like she was Sona; who wanted an agreement to protect herself from marriage, but that would be highly illogical at this point. Still, she did find the strength to blurt out at least one word while keeping her head low.
"O-Okay..."
For what seemed like the first time, Serafall didn't feel like she was a very powerful Great Satan. She felt vulnerable that it was like she needed help from a friend. It was like she was in Rias's shoes due to what was happening right now. She didn't feel like dressing up as a magical girl right now and be as cheerful as ever. She wanted to be alone, either in her office or in her bed, she didn't care. Just as long as she would be able to be alone and think deeply to herself. For the first time, she wasn't Serafall Leviathan... she was just a normal girl who felt vulnerable and weak in the eyes of many.
"If, in any case, you have already found the perfect suitor, send us a letter to inform us and we'll invite the both of you to the estate for a formal dinner," the head of the Sitri clan finished. "We'd want to know the man you've chosen to marry a little better."
Serafall didn't know what to do right now. She was totally confused.
She had two options, though; one, lock herself in her room and think deeply about what the heck is happening right now; and two, talk to her sister about this issue and see what she has to say.
The funny thing was, there was even no choice in the first place.
It was quite obvious on what option she would pick, anyway. So she picked up her phone and hit the first contact on her favorites list. The phone rang and rang for a while until she heard someone pick up.
"Hello?"
Serafall smiled. "Hey So-Chan, it's your favorite big sister in the whole world. Listen, I need to talk to you if you aren't busy right now. I'm in a sticky situation. "
Sona sighed. "I'm sorry but I can't right now. Why not ask the Hyoudou family, you are close to them aren't you? I'm sure Mrs. Hyoudou can be of assistance. She's surprisingly good at giving great advice."
Serafall nodded and thanked her sister before hanging up and calling the Hyoudou Residence. The phone rang until the other line was picked up.
"Hello?"
Serafall smiled. "Mrs. Hyoudou. This is Serafall Leviathan. I need to speak to you about something important. Girl talk."
Miki nodded as she understood the meaning behind her words. "Of course. Asia and Viser are chatting in their room while Issei and his father are beating each other up in their favorite game. Come on over. Your apart of this family."
Serafall smiled warmly at her. "Thanks. I'll be there in a few minutes."
A few minutes later...
Miki and Serafall were in her room and after the Maou explained her situation Miki understood that she was dealing with someone who never even dived into the concept of romance or dating unless it involved her sister.
"So what should I do?"
Miki looked at her and thought of her son and had a plan. "The answer is simple. Take my son on a date." Serafall had a deer in the headlights face as she heard the mothers response. Miki giggled at her before explaining the situation. "I do think you and my son are more similar than you think. You already know of my son's situation and his reincarnation so I do believe you, Asia, and Viser are a good influence on him. Take him on a date and see how it works but I already know how it's going to end. If my sons like both his father and myself then the two of you will definitely have a deeper bond than before."
Serafall thought about it until she shyly nodded and asked Issei if he could take her on a date. Issei smiled and agreed to the terms and the date turned out to be wonderful.
She enjoyed the date so much that she asked him out as second time and that was to celebrate his promotion which he accepted. After the date there was a moment that the two did fall for each other which led to a wonderful moment between them.
Time Skip. After the second date.
"Sera-chan, is something wrong?" he asked, noticing that she was unlike her usual self. They were in the shower because of the heavy rain that was pouring on them during the second date by they managed to make it home and took a shower so they wouldn't they sick. But then Serafall tried to seduce him with some sexy underwear until Issei saw the sadness in her eyes.
His words caused her to immediately look at him with a shocked expression on her face. She was surprised that he asked her if something was wrong since she was expecting him to have his perverse grin on his face while fantasizing about her. Almost immediately, she felt tears sting her eyes, regret taking over her. She was wrong in her assumptions about him and she felt bad for even thinking that he was not a worthy suitor. Finally, her doubts regarding Issei disappeared... and all she could see in front of him was a man worthy of her love.
'I guess Ise-kun wasn't a bad person after all... no wonder Asia and Viser like him...' she thought to herself, tears flowing from her eyes as she cried into her hands.
"Hey, why are you crying?!" he asked, looking scared that a devil king just cried in his presence. Acting on his instincts, Issei stepped forward and wrapped her in his arms, not caring that they were both half-naked. Although she was caught off guard by his sudden embrace, she didn't stop crying from all the pressure she has been under lately due to her assumptions and she understood what it was that made Issei a love interest for so many girls, even the nun that was apart of her sisters rivals team. When Issei started patting her from behind, she finally started to calm down and she buried her face into his shoulder, sniffling loudly.
"T-T-Thank you... I-Ise-kun..." she sniffled, returning his embrace, calming down from her crying.
"No problem..." he replied, resting his chin atop her head, taking deep breaths as he thought that Serafall was never going to calm down. He then separated himself from their contact, looking straight into the girl's eyes when she looked up at him. "But can you at least tell me why you were crying? I want to help you in any way I can in case you're having a problem, Sera-chan..."
Resisting the urge to burst into tears again, she went on to explain her situation to Issei, starting from the meeting that she had with her parents. Issei was surprised that she had to pick a suitor despite being a Great Satan, and he had a feeling on what she was trying to point out, but he decided to keep quiet for now. Then, she told him about her little talk with Miki, where the boy found out that his guess was true. He was the topic of the conversation that Serafall had with his mother and he was taken aback when Miki had suggested him as a possible suitor for the Leviathan. And afterwards, Sera explained her actions behind their first and second dates, something that surprised the Sekiryuutei to no end, because of the fact that she was testing him on whether his perversion would be triggered with her dressing in revealing outfits. Regardless of that, he understood her reason and that was when he finally decided to speak.
"I see... so my mom suggested that I should be your suitor because she doesn't want you to end up like Buchou..." He began, hugging the devil king again.
"I'm so sorry, Ise-kun... I didn't mean to play with you like this... I just wanted to make sure that Mrs, Hyoudou was telling the truth..." she said, wiping away her tears.
He separated from their embrace again. "I'm not mad at you or anything but are you sure that you want someone like me? You do know of... my past and my relationship issues, right? Not to mention my dream to be the strongest Red Dragon Emperor and a Harem King... I also have feelings for the other members of my family. Asia, Viser, and surprisingly Irina, Lint, and Xenovia..." he muttered.
She forced a smile even if she was in tears. "Hehe... yeah, but it's okay, because now I know what kind of person you really are. Miki was right about you... you really are a kind person, Ise-kun!" she exclaimed, smiling brightly as he blushed. "Now that I believe my future mother in laws words, I'm going with what she told me..."
Issei raised an eyebrow. "Which is?"
"You're going to have a Great Satan as a wife, Ise-kun!" she said cheerfully as Issei's eyes widened. "Now, I see why Miki wanted me to have you as a suitor... you're the kind of man who strives to make the people around him happy... I just wish that I found out about it sooner, Ise-kun... and I also want you to know that I'm totally fine with your harem," she told him, cupping his cheek before she pushed him towards the bathroom wall. "I'll make you mine, Ise-kun... I'll make you mine with a flick of my magical staff... then I can finally have some fun with Sona..." she said seductively, her lust for him taking over.
LEMON ALERT! LEMON ALERT! LEMON ALERT!
"I'll just have to deal with your desires, then!" he said with a smirk as Issei grabbed her shoulders and pushed her forward, and their lips finally met under the running water of the showerhead, both of them getting wet in the process. After a few seconds, they separated and fell into each other's gaze while getting rained down with water, their physical features getting heightened like what happened while they were under the rain. Their clothes had become wet, and their skin felt slippery due to the water itself. Issei's eyes closed slowly, taking in the sight of her and burning it into his mind before leaning his head forward, pressing his lips softly up against hers again. The sensation of the kiss turned the very blood in her veins into molten lava, washing over her instantly.
Her hands ran up his bare back, feathering up into his hair and pressing his head forward gently. Issei's lips pressed into hers a bit harder, their lips parting for the slightest of moments; her lips opening slowly with his, Issei's tongue gently slid into her open mouth, intertwining with Serafall's. She moaned softly into his mouth, the sensation making her heart beat even faster; it was something that she hadn't experienced before, and it was something she intended to savor. The inside of her mouth tasted sweet like a fresh strawberry, and Issei was enjoying every second of it. He placed her hand flat against her back, tracing down her spine with the tips of his fingers and stopping at the small of her back, his hand resting upon her right ass cheek and then the other one moving downwards to rest upon her other cheek.
It caught her off guard, but then Sera felt herself getting carried by her butt, causing her to wrap her arms around Issei's neck tightly, deepening their kiss in the process. Her legs had also wrapped around his waist as Issei carried her towards his bedroom. He gently kicked the door open, and once they were inside, he quickly closed it before letting Serafall lie down on the bed. He didn't even care that both the Leviathan's bra and panties were wet and would stain the bedsheets afterwards. Their lips didn't separate the whole time and only became deeper when they both started an intense battle of tongues, where it was even as time passed.
His touch was intoxicating through the wet fabric of her bra, making Serafall crave it even more; placing her hand upon his, she guided his hand down her hip to place it upon her upper thigh. Issei began moving his hand up and down her leg, enjoying the way her freshly-shaven smooth skin felt beneath his fingers, making her purr deep in her throat as he explored her flesh. His hand moved upward, dipping under her panty-clad butt and moving up, gliding across the curve of her ass and up to her bare back. Serafall broke their kiss for a moment, taking a deep and blissful breath.
"Ise-kun... touch me..." she breathed hotly against his lips, urging him to go further before pressing her lips firmly back against his and thrusting her tongue into his mouth.
It was all the motivation that Issei needed, deepening their kiss as he moved his hand up her back to her shoulder then brushing his fingers delicately across the back of her neck, making her shiver against his touch as his fingers worked their way into her hair. Issei slowly broke their kiss, placing a soft kiss upon her jawline before taking her earlobe into his mouth, sucking upon it lightly before tracing down her neck with the tip of his tongue, placing his lips upon the racing pulse in her neck and nipping at it lightly. Serafall's head tilted back and to the side, moaning blissfully as she allowed him better access. Issei's hand glided back down her back, grabbing the hook that held her bra together. The act made pangs of pleasure travel up Serafall's spine; she guided his mouth away from her neck for a moment, sitting up a bit to allow him to finally unhook her pink piece of clothing, before he suddenly stopped.
"Are you sure about this?" he asked in a rush of breath, not wanting to push this too far, too fast. If Sera wasn't ready, he would understand.
Serafall smiled at him cutely, placing a gentle kiss upon his lips in reply. Breaking the kiss, she allowed him to pull the bra off as he threw it away, without really paying it much attention. Issei gazed upon her naked chest and slightly drooled due to his everlasting fetish for breasts, before placing his hands upon her stomach and guiding her to lay down upon the bed. Serafall had large breasts for a girl at her age, they were much bigger than he had expected them and it strangely suited her figure perfectly. Her breasts were slightly wet due to her bra being wet as well, but she didn't pay attention to it. His hands traveled slowly up her abdomen, studying every inch of her flesh with his hands as they ghosted up towards her torso. Serafall sucked in a sharp breath as Issei's hands glided up over her ample breasts, kneading them softly as he placed his thighs on either side of her hips and sat upright. Sera's back arched up against his touch as he rolled her two breasts in his hands, lightly pinching her nipples between his fingers, making the devil king let out a high-pitched squeak.
As he caressed her gently, she ran her hands down his chest, exploring each muscle as her fingers traced across them. Issei leaned down, catching her mouth and reengaging their deep kiss, laying flat against her, the mixture of their naked flesh filling each other with warmth, which was exactly what they needed because they were wet from the shower earlier. Serafall's hands ran down Issei's strong back, grabbing the waistband of his pants and pushing them down past the curve of Issei's buttocks along with his underwear. Shifting against her, Issei wiggled out of his pants and boxers, kicking them off the end of the bed and laying against her completely naked. Issei's erect member pressed firmly against Sera's crotch, brushing against the soft cotton of her panties and making the fabric flood with warmth as he started grinding against her softly.
The sensation sent a hot shiver up Serafall's spine as a moan escaped her lips, breaking their kiss. When she felt her clit getting some attention, she started to moan loudly, apparently that part of her body was sensitive. Issei shifted his body so he was laying half on her with his other side resting against the bed, interlocking one of his hands with hers as he continued kissing down her neck to her collarbone, glancing up to see her blissful face; her eyes were closed to barely open slits and her cheeks were flushed with color as her lips remained slightly parted, letting breathy moans escape her now and then. Issei smiled to himself before continuing down her chest, resting his face between her swelling cleavage for a moment before tracing his tongue across one of her breasts, taking one of her nipples between his lips and sucking on it gently like a child to his mother. Serafall's back arched again, another sharp moan escaping her lips as his tongue encircled her areola, taking her other breast in his free hand and kneading it a bit more firmly this time.
"Ohh... Ise-kun..." Serafall breathed out blissfully. "That feels amazing..."
For a while, Issei continued, making sure that Serafall was feeling as wonderful as possible that she threaded her fingers through his hair. Issei backed his mouth away from her nipple, grazing it lightly with his teeth which made her shudder with pleasure. He continued moving his mouth slowly down her chest, placing gentle kisses here and there, stopping at her belly button and placing the tip of his tongue inside it for a moment, making her giggle at the tickling sensation. Issei moved back up, looking into her eyes and placing a hand upon her cheek, just taking in her beauty for a moment or two before placing a deep kiss upon her waiting mouth.
"Sera-chan..." Issei said as he broke the kiss, tracing his fingers lightly down her abdomen, hooking a finger into the top seam of her panties. It was like he didn't care about what could be the consequences of their actions now. He only cared about pleasing the girl below him. "Can I?"
Serafall smiled warmly and nodded, before thrusting her tongue into his mouth pleadingly. As she did so, Issei hooked his hand into her panties, peeling them down slowly over her thighs until they dangled off the end of one of her slender feet and finally revealing her wet and aroused womanhood. Issei's hand traced up the inside length of her leg, parting her legs gently as he teasingly traced her inner thigh with his finger. Once she seemed blissfully distracted, Issei's hand glided up, the tips of his fingers gently parting the lips of her pussy as he traced it up and down, reaching her clitoris. The touch sent a shockwave of pleasure through the Leviathan's body as she moaned loudly into his mouth, allowing him to take control of the kiss; for a moment he traced his finger along her slit, relishing in its warm wetness.
With his index and middle fingers, he positioned them both between her slick folds and inserted it slowly inside her. Her back arched again against his penetrating fingers, moaning so loudly into his mouth that their kiss broke. Her toes curled in pleasure and pressed against the mattress, while her hands roamed all over his body, raking his skin with her nails.
"Ise-kun!" she cried out in pleasure as Issei started to pump his fingers in and out of her. "Hahh! Ohh! Your... your fingers... they're..."
He took it slowly at first, and then picking up speed, dragging it across the bumpy flesh of her g-spot. Serafall threw her head back, screaming with pleasure as her tongue hung off the side of her mouth; and if this wasn't enough for her, Issei took his thumb and began rubbing it gently against her clit, sending daggers of bliss through her body. She moaned loudly again, revealing that that part was indeed sensitive.
His rhythmic motions began to slow down as he withdrew his fingers; her eyes peeled open as she took deep breaths to calm herself, gazing lovingly into his eyes. Issei brought up the two fingers he used to penetrate her up into his mouth, sucking her juices off of it satisfactorily while giving Serafall a playful wink, making her laugh at him before returning to her gaze of blissful pleasure. Issei gave her a quick kiss before once again moving down her body, parting her thighs with each hand and placing tiny butterfly kisses along the inside of her thighs, making her breathe in sharply each time he did so. Issei looked up at her, smiling wickedly, which made her wonder what exactly he was up to.
She wouldn't have to wait long to find out; Issei placed his head between Serafall's legs, drawing a long and slow lick up the length of her snatch with the tip of his tongue buried deep inside her. Serafall's back shot straight up like a pilot ejected from a fighter jet, letting out a sound that was a mixture of a scream and a moan; it caught her off guard no doubt, but nonetheless, it felt good when he did it. She pushed upon the back of his head gently to urge him to continue, as Issei continued dragging his tongue up her length, flicking her engorged clit with the tip of his tongue, and then back down to penetrate her with it slowly. Her throbbing and wet pussy had completely intoxicated Issei; its smell alone was enough to drive him wild, but the way she tasted was nothing short of incredible. Finally, Serafall got to the point where she couldn't possibly take any more; pulling his head up and bringing him to lay upon her once again, as she gazed pleadingly into his eyes.
"Please, Ise-kun..." she began, taking deep and short breaths. "I want you... inside me..."
Issei opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out; instead, smiling at her lovingly, and he placed a gentle kiss upon her lips that he held there for a moment before gazing back into those beautiful, piercing eyes of hers.
"But..." she continued. "Just... be gentle. I've never..."
"You mean, you're...a virgin?" Issei asked, trying not to sound shocked about it.
"Yeah..." Serafall admitted, somewhat embarrased. "I was always waiting for the right time... and I couldn't be any more happier to give it to you, Ise-kun..."
Issei smiled warmly, placing a gentle kiss upon her lips.
"So am I, Sera-chan... it's okay..." Issei said reassuringly.
Her eyes widened. She had thought that Issei was no longer a virgin since he was always getting fought over by the other girls of the Hyoudou home. Xenovia and Viser were aiming to give birth to his babies, Irina and Lint were unaware of sexual acts, and Asia was being bold but wasn't there yet. So Serafall thought it wouldn't be crazy to think that he was already experienced in this activity. Almost instantly, happiness began to flood inside her, as she was going to be Issei's first. She was going to have something that her sister, nor Rias, nor any other girl that admired or loved Issei would ever have. She was going to take Issei's virginity...
"We'll take it slow, OK?" he said soothingly.
Issei always had a way of making people feel like everything was going to be okay; it was one of the things Serafall admired about him after hearing of his exploits. Smiling, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in and kissing him passionately. Issei placed a hand upon Serafall's hip, taking his erect member in his hand and pressing it against her entrance. Serafall breathed pleasurably against his mouth; he wasn't inside her and yet, she already felt as though she was going to explode. Issei placed the tip of himself inside her, and then gently guided himself in; the feeling was indescribable to either of them, making them both suck in air sharply as Issei pushed even farther inside.
He opened his eyes, looking down at Serafall's face and gently broke their kiss; she winced in pain for a bit as he pushed on, before stopping at where he was and gently began pumping in and out of her, slowly and rhythmically, being careful not to go any farther than she was comfortable with. The sensation made Serafall scream out with pleasure as she grabbed Issei's shoulders tightly.
"Oh, Ise-kun..." Serafall breathed out in a rush. "It feels... so... good... ohh... hahh..."
Issei continued pumping slowly, bending down to press his lips to hers softly as he quickened his pace a bit by bit. After a few moments, Sera's hands glided down Issei's back, cupping around his buttocks and pushing forward lightly, inviting him even deeper inside her, showing that she was ready. Complying with what she wanted, Issei pushed forward slowly and steadily, sheathing himself into her entirely. Serafall's head tilted back and she let out a loud scream as Issei pierced her maiden wall, causing a warm rush of crimson flooding out from inside her.
He stopped suddenly, looking down at her with a bit of concern in his eyes before she threw her arms back around his neck, pulling him forcefully in for a deep kiss as he continued pumping in and out of her. He began slowly and steadily at first, pushing deep inside her, then pulling back to the point where just the head of his cock was inside, then pushing back in to her core. Before long, Serafall's winces faded and were replaced with deep moans that filled Issei's mouth; he quickened his pace, his tongue intertwining with hers like two wrestling serpents fighting for the top spot. Her moans became sharper and more frequent as he started thrusting faster and faster, their naked and now-sweaty bodies sliding against one another and making the girl's enormous breasts bounce in unison with Issei's thrusts.
"Sera-chan..." Issei moaned out as their lips parted for the slightest moment, his breaths becoming heavier as he gritted his teeth. "You feel so good..."
Serafall moaned against his mouth, pushing her lips into his a little harder, her tongue darting deep into his mouth before breaking their kiss for a moment.
"Ise-kun!" Serafall all but screamed in pleasure, the cute and innocent magical girl fading into something that was hungry for more, her fingernails digging into his back. "Faster! Harder! Fuck me more!"
Issei thrusted as hard and deep as he could, pounding himself inside Serafall's warm and soft pussy as her nails dug red lines into his flesh. Issei's hand glided down her stomach, reaching between her legs for her swollen and sensitive clit, pinching and rolling it between his thumb and forefinger firmly yet gently. His touch made her snap her eyes open due to how good it felt. The overwhelming pleasure finally sent Serafall over the edge as her hips bucked upward, with her screaming out loud. In turn, Issei felt her inner walls clench around his manhood, causing him to be sent over the edge as well, screaming out loud as well.
"AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!"
They both screamed out, as the girl's hot and warm pussy tightened, climaxing around Issei's pounding cock. The flood of pleasure from deep inside Serafall enveloped Issei in the wet heat of her pussy, his throbbing member exploding deep inside her and filling her to the brim with a huge load of his hot cum. The two of them held their position for a moment, her hips bucked against Issei as she tried to push him even deeper inside her than he had been before he collapsed, sinking weightlessly back into the bed. Each of them was panting for air, their bodies slick and sweaty; Sera wrapped her arms loosely around Issei waist as he rolled to her side, keeping himself buried inside her womanhood.
"That... was incredible..." Serafall panted, trying to catch her breath and resting her cheek upon Issei's chest.
"Yeah... I was pretty good, wasn't I?" Issei asked jokingly, causing Serafall to punch him playfully in the shoulder as they each shared a laugh. Apparently, she really was in control of herself the entire time, and this just proves it. The laughter ended after half a minute and for a moment, the Leviathan had a look of concern on her face before she spoke softly.
"Hey, Ise-kun..."
"Hmm?"
"You know, I really do love you..." she confessed, making Issei's eyes widen. "I know this sounds too quick, but I do..." she smiled warmly at him. "I don't know how, but after our first date, I felt like something was pulling me towards you... that it wants me to be with you... whether it's love or some other thing, I'm happy that it did..." she hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid of letting him go. "I don't want to let you go... I want to be with you forever, Ise-kun... I want to live with you someday, under the same roof... with our babies..." she stopped right there, blushing at her own words. "I'm happy that my mother in law forced me into this!" she said cheerfully, snuggling close to him.
Issei looked at her and saw the kindness and warmth in her eyes, he gave a warm smile as well and gently cupped her cheeks. The image was leaving his head that had been plaguing him for so long. "I love you, Serafall Leviathan. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Serafall's eyes widened until she smiled happily that the man she had come to love felt the same and Serafall could see it within him. The pain from before had greatly decreased. His emotions were becoming more stable and the most powerful emotion within him was... Love.
Serafall smiled and hugged him back. "Yes. Would you become my boyfriend?"
Issei nodded as well. "Yes."
Then it was under a rain night, two souls had found peace and love. So beautiful.
End Flashback.
Issei, Asia, Viser, and Katsuragi followed the two powerful leaders inside of the temple and were met with many members of the Youkai faction. Yasaka smiled at them as she watched how they admired the temple.
"This is where you all will be training for the next month. I am well aware that the Three Factions will be having a meeting next month so until then you all will be training there by the teachers of the Youkai faction and am old friend of mine." She clapped her hands and yelled. "We Kong! Come on out."
A cloud flew towards her and dispersed as it revealed a red haired monkey with golden armor and wielding a bo staff. He smirked as he looked at them and nodded. "You all are indeed strong I hope to see what you can offer me."
He summoned his cloud again and sat on it while smoking out of his pipe. "I am well aware of the Red Dragon and his servants so I will be teaching you how to control your emotions and use Senjustsu since you have the spirit of Tamamo within the Caster card. I can help you learn to master it's Trump Card but as for the others it will be hard since most of them take more training than others. Tell me, have you ever tried to summon them?"
Issei shook his head. "I've been trying but I haven't been able to. I can combine with their souls so I can use their power but that's about it." The monkey nodded. "We'll have to improve on that." He then looked at Viser, Asia, and Katsuragi. "I'll be teaching you all how to better your strengths before overcoming your weaknesses."
He then did a few hand signs and multiple clones of himself appeared out of thin air. Each of them summoned their very own staff before smiling. "Let the training begin."
End.
This one was about the Lancer who will be important in the meeting and the push Miki did for Serafall and Issei. I've always thought hat the two would make a good couple because Serafall could use someone who can handle her emotions and her siscon desires while the other could help him grow physically and emotionally.
Also I could use some help with the next chapter for the Dragon Fairy King. I'm having a bit of Writers Block on it so if any one is willing to help, I would greatly appreciate it.
So until next time, GOOD NIGHT, Long Beach!
