Well, I been lazing around a lot and felt kind of guilty I wasn't updating so my really strong willpower :p made me write again. I have so many ideas for this fan fiction and since this story line will have a similar one to godly dragon just without Issei having a sister cause the plot kind of went a little over the top with that one. I thank you guys so much for all the support, you have really motivated and your reviews are very honest and help me to improve more! So please tell me what you like about the story and give me tips about how to Follow, favorite and Review! :3

Chapter 4: The truth
Raynare moved around in the bed as her body stiffened slightly, she winced a little as she felt a sharp pain before a cooling sensation.
Turning around immediately. she saw Issei hunched over her back and placing a cool towel on her wounds and a full blown blush appeared on her face as Issei scanned her wounds with deep concern.
"Oh, you're awake." He said as he looked up and Raynare immediately formed a light spear, ready to defend herself when she realized there was nothing in her hand and she struggled to understand why her magic didn't work.
"I sealed off your magic so you wouldn't be able to attack me." He explained as he continued treating her wound," And you're injured so stop squirming around."
As much as his voice was harsh and cold, Raynare was sure she felt concern from him and as corny as it sounded, her heart felt much warmer after hearing it.
Alas, reality struck her and she sat up abruptly as Issei gave her an annoyed look, ready to lecture her yet again when he saw her worried expression,"My friends...where are they?"
Chuckling at how she looked so helpless, Issei explained that Azazel had brought them back for questioning while she had to stay here till her injuries healed.
In one condition, become my pet
Raynare shivered at the thought as she eyed Issei warily.
Realising the cause of her sudden change in attitude, issei sighed,"Don't worry, I only said that so you would listen to me, I'm not interested in any kind of slavery."
Saying this, Issei ruffled Raynare's hair like she was a child and gave her a rare smile,"You can stay here as long as you like, it'll be like having a sister around."
Settling her down on the bed, he made sure none of her wounds were open before leaving for school in a hurry, muttering curses at the creaky door as he slammed it shut.
This time, Raynare was sure her heart didn't beat out of fear this time and a tinge of red was visible on her cheeks as she hugged the pillow closer to her and inhaled a deep breath before falling asleep.
"I'm going to be late!" Issei complained as he ran to school, surpassing a few curious onlookers who stared at him while he checked his watch.
'Stupid Sirzechs, he told me I had nothing to worry about and this happens...and its my official first day of my job.' He sighed as he entered the school gates just as a few student council members came out to catch the latecomers.
As homeroom had ended a few minutes ago, Issei walked straight to the occult research club since he wanted to settle him being Rias's bodyguard first.
When he reached the front of the door, he knocked the door as it creaked open slowly.
Jumping at the sudden noise, Rias looked back to see the junior she witnessed the day before and her mouth went agape, lost for words as he walked in like he totally did not recognize her.
"Good morning, I need to discuss something with you, Rias-senpai." He said with a smile that showed his teeth.
"You can drop the act." A blond-haired man sitting on the couch scowled at him, his hair and uniform was neat and tidy unlike Issei's messy one and he sat with a posture of a noble, his light grey eyes burned in to Issei as he held a tea cup and was also the well-known prince of this school, Yuuto Kiba.
The room also held Koneko who seemed to still remember him from the locker incident and Akeno who seemed a little bit confused as to why he was here.
"Oh great, so you guys know about it." Issei sighed in relief, oblivious to the fact that they were talking about two entirely different situations.
Unlike how he was pointing to the fact about him being Rias's bodyguard, Kiba was talking about him taking down a fallen angel even though he was a human.
"So I believe Sirzechs told you about it?" He cocked his head as Rias was still staring at him like he wasn't real.
Then like realizing this was reality, Rias flicked her wrist and Kiba lunged forward, a sword formed in his hand while Issei dodged it with ease before grabbing hold of Kiba and threw him.
"Wait, what were we talking about?" Issei put his hands up as a signal of him being reluctant to fight and Rias looked at him like he was crazy.
"You stepped into my territory and took out a fallen angel without breaking a swat, of course I have to eliminate you!"
Issei blinked slowly as he processed this information before he sighed,"So I still have to explain the awkward situation, huh?"
Literally changing from the flustered man Rias had just saw, his voice now had no sign of any emotions, instead his voice was almost robotic as the warmth in his eyes seemed to fade away,"Rias gremory, starting today, I am your bodyguard."
"What!" Enraged, she stood up in a fit of anger as she crossed over to Issei as he shoved a file of documents into her hands.
Giving a short flip-through of the documents, Rias gasp was enough for Issei to know that she knew it was the truth.
"But why would Onii-sama..." Before she could even finish her sentence, Issei interrupted with a sigh,"He is an over-protective older brother, isn't he?"
He fumbled with his pocket as he took out a small red pawn piece and Rias gulped hesitantly as she recognized it as the exact same piece her brother had taken from her.
As Akeno helped Kiba to the couch, she seemed unaffected by the whole situation as she held out her hand,"Welcome to the club, issei-kun."
"Akeno!" Rias glared at her friend was seemed to have worsened the situation in her eyes as Issei gave her a grateful smile.
"If Sirzechs-sama hired him, i am sure we can trust him." Akeno gave a kind smile as she convinced Rias to put the matter to rest.
"Then you should know what we are, right?" Rias asked Issei as she gave him an awkward hand shake as she still wasn't comfortable to be around him.
"Devils." As he said that, the others showed him their wings except for an unconscious Kiba who was lying on the couch.
Rias took a deep breath as he looked right into Issei's eyes as he returned the gaze.
"Then, as Rias Gremory, heiress to the Gremory family, I reincarnate you as a devil of the Gremory household so as to pledge your loyalty and serve us with your outstanding talents."
As the eight pawn pieces circled around him, they entered him one by one and in a flash of light, they were absorbed into him and his own devil wings sprouted from his back.
As Issei started to explain how he would assist Rias, everybody failed to spot the single white feather beside him, the feather of an angel.
