This is my first DxD fanfic so I'm kinda winging it here. This is supposed to take place after the fight with Sairaorg. I know that the light novel and the Manga go into this, but this is for my peeps that have only watched the anime (like me). So here we go.

The Good Life

It had been a few days since the end of the school festival, and the entire Gremory family has been talking non-stop about the kiss. The news spread like wildfire and the only people who weren't happy about that were the Red Dragon Emperor and the Ruin Princess.

Akeno still had her mission to get Issei to cheat on Rias with her. Even if she had to force him into her grips to do it.

Asia was a little jealous but was happy for the most part. Issei had promised her that things wouldn't change simply because he was now with Rias. Rassei was still a little cautious but had warmed up to him.

Koneko was happy as long as she got to nap on Issei's lap when she wanted, although Rias had gotten a little stingier with her new boyfriend.

Xenovia was still on her mission to get Issei's seed and create a child that had both the blood of a holy sword user and a dragon.

Irina had the same mission as Xenovia, however it was all for Heaven and not so much for her own goals of being intimate with her childhood friend.

Kiba was still embarrassed that he had not been able to keep the girls out of the room. Issei had since told him it was fine, but that didn't really help. He needed a way to make it up to his best friend.

And Gasper was just happy to see Rias and Issei happy together.

Rias was more embarrassed now than she ever had been in her life. At the current moment she was at her brother's manor for a party for the victory over Sairaorg in the last rating game. Sirzechs of course knew of his sister's new relationship but decided to keep quiet for now. The party was loud, and music was playing. Everyone was having a good time, except for a certain young couple. Issei and Rias were being bombarded with questions left and right about the battle and the admission of love.

"So, Issei what made you decide to admit your feelings to Rias on the battlefield?" A reporter asked.

"Well…" Issei took a second and looked at his girlfriend. "There was no guarantee that I was going to be able to tell her in the future." He then wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close. "No time like the present I guess." He then kissed the top of her head making Rias blush.

"And you, Rias Gremory, what was your initial reaction to Mr. Hyoudou's admission to you?" The same reporter questioned.

"I-I was shocked at first, but in my heart, I knew he meant it. I knew that he truly loved me and that my feelings were returned completely." Rias began to hide her face in Issei's black jacket to avoid further questions.

"Ms. Gremory, one mor-"

"Please, no more questions right now. Rias and I would like to enjoy our evening. Perhaps we could do this another time." Issei stepped in.

"Sure thing. You two have a nice evening now." With that the reporter left.

"Thank you." Rias said in a small voice.

"Don't worry about it. I'll always protect you. Whether it's a mythical god or a nosy reporter." He chuckled. Rias stood on her toes and kissed him on the cheek. "Now come on, let's find the rest of the gang."

The happy couple walked around the ballroom until they spotted Koneko and Gasper by the snack table. Gasper waved to them and Koneko stuffed her face with whatever sweet she had in her hand at the time.

"Issei, Rias, how's your night going." The timid vampire asked them.

"We're good Gasper. I see that you and Koneko found the sweets table pretty easy.

"Yes. Gaspy and I have been here a while." The young cat devil piped up. Issei bent down and pat the girl's head causing her to purr lightly.

"Well, try not to eat too much. You will end up being sick in the morning." Rias smiled as she looked at the two youngest members of her peerage.

Together, Issei and Rias kept hunting for their friends. Eventually they spotted two holy sword users and the holy demon swordsman himself. Kiba, Xenovia, and Irina were seated at a table in the corner talking about the previous battle.

"Well, I think Kiba's idea to weaken Sairaorg was sheer brilliance." Irina smiled as she admired her once enemy's tactics.

"Yes well, it was all for the end game." Kiba took a sip of his drink.

"And I couldn't have been more grateful once I figured it out. Thank you, Kiba." Issei said to the blonde devil.

"I figured you would catch on. How did you get it? I was in the infirmary at the time."

"We were locked in a fist fight and I kept feeling him losing power on his right hooks." Everyone in the vicinity was listening closely. "Ddraig was able to determine that thanks to Kiba's efforts, Sairaorg's right arm was still not quite healed."

"I'm glad I could help." Kiba nodded.

"Rias, have you seen Asia or Akeno?" Xenovia asked her king.

"Come to think of it no, no I haven't." Rias replied to her knight.

"I'll go find them." Issei offered as he placed a light kiss on Rias' cheek and went off to find his friends. He walked around until he found a hallway off to the side. He thought a familiar voice came from down there, so he made his way down the hall to check it out. Rounding the corner, he found Asia and Akeno. Asia had managed to spill a cup of juice on her pure white dress, so now there was a stain on her chest. Normally Issei would have been ecstatic about being able to see through her dress, but he could see the frustration and embarrassment on her face and decided to help.

"Hey Issei, I thought you were with Rias still?" Akeno asked as she sensed Issei's presence.

Asia jumped and looked up at him. "Hi Issei. I'm sorry, I spilled my drink on my dress. Gosh, I'm such a klutz." She was really embarrassed about it.

"It's no worries Asia, here take this." Issei took off his jacket and handed to the former sister. "This should cover it up nicely.

"Oh wow, thank you Issei." Her eyes sparkled and her cheeks were a nice shade of pink.

"Don't mention it. Now, how about we go back to the party?" Issei asked the duo.

"Sure thing." Asia gripped onto Issei's left arm and wrapped her arms around it.

"Oh, I'm getting in on this too." Akeno followed suit and pulled Issei's arm in between her breasts as she too held onto him.

Normally, Issei would have a river of blood coming out of his nose, but he had grown up in maturity to the point where this wasn't an issue anymore.

"Shall we ladies?" Issei smirked as he led his friends back into the main ballroom. He was turning over a new leaf. Of course, he always had a thing for Rias, and now he was finally with her, but that didn't mean he couldn't share some love for his other girls too. His perversion had almost been completely wiped out, and he found it easier to be around the girls without being nervous. 'This is the good life.' Issei thought to himself as he entered the ballroom once again with one of his girls on each arm.

End note, I have created a playlist that includes all my songs that I use for chapter names. Link is in my bio box thing.
