Sup guys? Welcome to chapter 11 of my story. Pretty good response to chapter 10. Also want to thank you guys for over 30.000+ views on my story. You guys rock! Also, today is my birthday! So yea, instead of me receiving presents, I am the one giving a present to all of you! Once again, thank you guys for over 30,000 views! Now, let's answer to some of the reviews, shall we?

DragonMaster128: Thank you and thank you for voting.

Rajtarpl: Thank you for voting. Glad that you liked the chapter. Yep, Issei fought well, though he and Riser were pretty even before Issei used Balance Breaker.

DeadlyXDevil: Thank you for voting. Also, you might have given me an idea. Though like I said, Issei wants to die after he defeats Kokabiel. So he might refuse any help that is offered to him.

heroman626: Thank you for voting, and also glad that you liked the chapter.

Xerozzuro: Glad that you enjoyed the fight! I also hope that too, though school is literally tearing me apart slowly.

NinjaFang1331: Thank you! And if you want to know then read to find out!

: Thanks for your vote.

Chilicarlos: Thank you for voting.

TheLaughingStalk: Glad to be back, again. Thank you and glad that you liked the Rating Game.

Kirinthor: Thank you. Yea, I feel sorry (Not really) Issei as well. You can feel free to imagine how his fight with Kokabiel will go down, but it might not go the way you imagined it to go.

GentlestCobra2: And more chapters still to come!

Nosferatu869: Yep, it's good to be back. Thank you for telling me how the Phoenix Tears work. I'll try and fix where Issei and Riser drink the Tears from the previous chapter. And thank you again for telling me about the episodes of Hunter x Hunter. Thank you for voting.

King of The Under Dogs: Thanks for your vote.

Dillmccathron: Glad that you liked reading my chapter. And thank you for voting.

xden1997: Thanks for your vote. Thank you for the suggestion as well. Might go with it.

Lightningblade49: Glad that you liked the fight! Though your grammar could use a bit of work, if you don't mind me saying. Though I think you voted for him to transform, so thank you for voting.

Sasuke75249: Read and find out!

Reikon67: Issei can already speak; he just refuses to do so. As far as my knowledge goes, Phoenix Tears heal open wounds. I could have made the Phoenix Tears heal his blind eye since it's considered an open wound. But I decided that because it's been ten years since he was blinded I decided to consider it a scar.

AnimeEmperor: Oh… Well, shit. My mistake. Though I don't think anyone will care that the Boosted Gear is on his right arm instead of left.

MisterE231: Thanks for voting and also glad that you enjoyed the chapter.

Dante Fernandez: Thank you for voting. Hope you enjoy this chapter as well.

GUIDix: Thanks for voting. I'll try and update whenever I'm available.

Guest: Like I said, you can either send your vote through PM or review, like you did. So yea, thank you for voting. I'll try and keep up with the good work and I'm glad that you enjoy my writing.

1337Pwny: Nice to see that you liked the fight. Hope you enjoy the future fights, if you stick around that is. Like I said, I'll delete the hiatus chapter when this story is finished. The don't go changing thing is actually an outro from a YouTuber that I've been watching for a small while. He always used that catchphrase when he finished his video. So I decided that I wanted it to be my outro in every chapter.

And that was all the reviews that I could answer. Now, let's see the poll.

Issei runs away: 8 votes.

Issei goes into Juggernaut Drive: 18 votes (18, my lucky number!)

So that's all the votes that I managed to count. If I missed one or if I misplaced one vote, like if I counted one extra vote on one of the options, then please tell me and I'll fix it as fast as I can. And this chapter is also going to be near 3000+ words, so it is a bit short. So let's start chapter 11, shall we?

Chapter 11: Aftermath of the Rating Game.

Issei groaned as he slowly opened his eye. His vision was a bit hazy and the bright light that was shining on top of him did not help things at all. After a short while, he vision was fully restored.

Issei looked around the room that he was in. He was in a hospital room. White walls with a bit of blue mixed in, white metal floor. There were two windows at the right side of the room, giving a view of the outside. There were three chairs in the room two of them being occupied by Rias and Akeno, who were asleep. There were two stands that had red flowers in vases. There was also a door in the corner, which Issei guessed that it was a bathroom.

Issei sat up on the bed and rubbed his left eye with a yawn. He was extremely tired and his body was a little sore.

[Ah, Partner you're awake.] He heard Ddraig say.

Issei nodded.

[You were asleep for about five hours. After the Rating Game, you passed out due to using Balance Breaker. Since this was the first time you used it, it's pretty normal for you to pass out. Balance Breaker uses your stamina mostly. But, if you train enough, then you might stay in Balance Breaker for a pretty long time, maybe even months.] Ddraig said.

Issei again nodded. He was going to have to train a bit more if he wanted to stay in Balance Breaker for a longer period of time.

Issei put his naked feet on the cold floor and stood up. He was a bit wobbly, but he managed to walk to the bathroom. He opened the door and entered.

After finishing his bath, he exited the bathroom and walked back to his bed. As he sat down, he saw Rias stir a bit. She slowly opened her eyes, only for them to go wide once she saw Issei was awake.

"Issei… Issei!" She shouted as she jumped and hugged him.

Issei just stood still, awkwardly hugging her back.

"Issei… you made me very worried. For you to suddenly pass out like that… Please, never do that again." Rias said as she pulled back, tears in her eyes.

Rias then smiled as she began to close the distance between her and Issei. His eyes widened as Rias kissed him on the lips. It wasn't deep, but it was full of love. She pulled away with a smile.

"That was my first kiss. It's what every girl treasures. It's also your reward for ending my engagement with Raiser. Thank you very much Issei." Rias said.

Issei just sat there with his mouth a bit open and his eyes wide. He just got kissed by a girl that he barely knew. He knew her for about two weeks and she just kissed him on the lips. Issei just sighed. He was too tired to think about it.

"My, my Rias. You stepped up your game I see." Issei then heard a female voice. He looked behind Rias and saw that Akeno was awake and was staring at them with a smile on her face.

"A-Akeno?! How long have you been awake for?!" Rias asked as she blushed.

"When you shouted Issei's name and you jumped on him." Akeno said, still smiling.

Rias just stood there a bit embarrassed. The door then opened and in stepped the rest of Rias' peerage.

"Ah, you're finally awake Issei. Gave us quite a scare there." Kiba said with a smile.

"Issei!" Asia shouted as she also jumped and hugged him. Issei smiled at the blonde girl and hugged her back, patting her head.

Koneko was standing next to Kiba silently, but she also had a smile on her face.

Another man then entered the room. It was the same man that he saw in the room that he was before he passed out. He had shoulder length red hair and his eyes were the same color as Rias'. He looked at Issei with a smile.

"So, you're Issei Hyoudou. Rias has told me a lot about you. My name is Sirzechs Lucifer. Glad to meet you, Issei Hyoudou." Sirzechs said with a smile as he extended his hand.

Issei looked at him for a small while. He slowly extended his hand as well and they shook hands.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Rias asked.

"I just came here to see Issei. You don't mind if I call you Issei, right?" Sirzechs asked. Issei only nodded, saying that he didn't mind.

"I'm glad. As I was saying, I came here to see how Issei was doing and to congratulate him on his victory over Riser. Congratulations Issei. The fight between the two of you was pretty interesting to say the least." Sirzechs said with a smile.

Issei only nodded.

"Big brother, is that all that you have come here to say?" Rias asked.

"Ah, yes. I almost forgot. Issei, how would you feel if Rias moved in with you?" Sirzechs asked,

Issei was surprised by that question. He looked at Rias and saw that she was a little nervous on what his answer will be.

[Hello, Lucifer.] Ddraig spoke out of Issei's right hand.

"Hello, Red Dragon Emperor Ddraig." Sirzechs responded.

[My Partner does not mind if Rias Gremory moves in with him, but there might be a problem.] Ddraig said, causing everyone in the room to raise their brows.

"Oh? And what problem are we dealing with?" Sirzechs asked.

[Well… to put it simply, there are Fallen Angels living at my Partner's house] Ddraig said, causing everyone in the room to widen their eyes.

"Do you mean the Fallen Angels that you took when you left the church after saving Asia?" Rias asked.

"Rias, did you know about this?" Sirzechs asked as he looked at his little sister.

"I only knew that he took them with him. I didn't know that he spared them." Rias said.

"I see. Issei why did you take the Fallen Angels with you? And why did you spare them?" Sirzechs asked.

[It's because we wanted to interrogate them. After they told us everything that we wanted to know, we spared them as promised. One of them, Kalawarner, said that she didn't want to go back to that church. So, we let them stay. And so far, they haven't done much wrong. So, I wanted to offer something.] Ddraig said, gaining everyone's interest.

"What do you propose, Red Dragon Emperor?" Sirzechs asked.

[This is going to be more in the lines of an experiment. Rias Gremory will move in with my Partner. The Fallen Angles will also stay under the same roof. If things go well, then we might be looking to put an end to the hate between the Three Factions. But, if things don't go as well, then the one who causes the most problems in our house will have to move out. How does that sound? Do you accept Rias Gremory?] Ddraig asked Rias.

Rias put a hand on her chin, thinking about that offer. She wanted to stay with Issei, but to have the enemy this close to her… is going to be a problem.

"Rias, do you want to stay with Issei?" Sirzechs asked.

"Yes, I do." Rias answered truthfully.

"Then I see no problem in you participating in this small experiment. I also want to end the hate between The Factions. This might be a good opportunity." Sirzechs said with a smile.

"Alright big brother. I'll take part in the experiment. Issei, I hope that you take good care of me." Rias said with a smile as she bowed.

Issei nodded slowly. Looks like things are about to get even levier in his house and life.

"W-Wait! I-I also want to move in with Issei!" Asia shouted with a red face.

Everyone besides Sirzechs was shocked at Asia's words.

"I think that can be arranged. I was looking for a house for you, so Issei's house is the perfect fit. But, won't it be bothersome to live under the same roof with the Fallen Angels that killed you?" Rias asked.

"W-Well, it is going to be a bit weird living in the same house with your killers. B-but I think that we can all start fresh! A-And if they try anything, then I'm sure that Issei and the rest of you will protect me, right?" Asia asked.

Everyone in the room nodded as Issei patted Asia on the head, earning a happy smile from the ex-nun.

"Then it's settled. Me and Asia are moving in with you Issei! I hope you take care of both of us." Rias said again as she bowed. Again.

[See Partner? Your life is slowly, but surely getting more fun. You would make these girls very sad if you ended your own life. Don't always think about yourself.] Ddraig said inside Issei's head.

Issei then looked at the two girls. They were both happy that they were going to move in with Issei. But… He made a promise to his dead family. Once he gets his revenge, he's going to join them. And no one will be able to change his mind.

'Hehehe… That's right… Once you get revenge… end it… end your life. It's the smartest thing that you'll be doing in your pathetic life anyway…' The voice said.

Issei flinched at the voices' choice of words. Though the others didn't notice. But he agreed with the voice on some degree. It is going to be the smartest thing he'll ever do.

After Issei and the others got released from the Underworlds hospital, Grayfia took them back to the clubroom of The Old School Building via Magic Circle. Once she teleported away, Issei and Rias gathered Asia's belongings from the clubroom. Once that was done they walked to Issei's house. Once they reached Issei's house, Issei took out his key and unlocked the door.

"Ah, kid you're ba- Devils?! W-What are they doing here?!" Kalawarner asked, scared as she summoned a light spear. Mittelt also wore the same expression as she also summoned a light spear.

[Calm down, the both of you! Put away your light spears! We'll explain why these Devils are here. And one of these Devils, you are quite familiar with.] Ddraig said.

Issei then stepped to the side a bit, revealing Asia.

"A-Asia?! You're a-alive?! H-How?!" Mittelt asked shocked.

"I was the one who revived her. She is now one of my servants." Rias said with her eyes narrowed.

[Everyone, let's all calm down. Let's talk as to why the Devils are here and what I and my Partner want from all of you.] Ddraig said.

Everyone nodded and walked to the living room. Issei sat in the middle of the big sofa, Rias and Asia sitting next to him. The two Fallen Angels sat on the other side.

[Now, the reason that the two Devils are here is because they are moving in with us.] Ddraig said.

"W-WHAAAAT?!" Both Mittelt and Kalawarner shouted.

[Let me finish. The reason that Asia is moving in, is because she has nowhere else to stay. And as for Rias Gremory… She just wants to stay close to my Partner. Are you two with me so far?] Ddraig asked.

The Fallen Angles nodded silently.

[Good. Another reason is that my Partner and I want to end this hate between the Three Factions. So, that's why we came up with this little experiment. We will let you, as well as the Devils stay in our household. If things do work out, then we might be one step closer to achieving peace. But… if things don't go as planned, then the ones that are causing the most trouble here will have to move out. Are we clear? Because let's face it, I don't think that Azazzel wants to start a war. He was the first one that retreated in the Great War after all] Ddraig said.

The two Fallen looked at each other. They then looked back at Issei.

"Well… I think we can agree. We'll try and get along with the Devils." Mittelt said.

[Very good. And I think that this experiment will start very well if you both apologize to Asia right now.] Ddraig said.

The two Fallen looked at the blonde girl that was fidgeting around in her sit.

"A-Asia. W-We both want to apologize for killing you. Though I doubt that you'll forgive us, we still want you to know that we're very sorry." Kalawarner said, Mittelt agreeing with her.

"No, it's alright. I forgive the both of you." Asia said with a smile.

The two Fallen smiled in relief.

[It just occurred to me. Kalawarner, Mittelt who gave you the order to kill my Partner?] Ddraig asked.

"Well… Azazzel wanted us to keep you alive and watch you from the distance, but then we got a change of order from Kokabiel, saying that Azazzel said to kill you." Kalawarner said.

Issei narrowed his eyes at the two Fallen.

[Ah, I suspected as much. Kokabiel became fearful once he found out that I revived my Partner and that I was his Sacred Gear. So he lied to you in order to avoid any obstacles towards his goal.] Ddraig said.

"How are you so sure about this?" Rias asked.

[Because from what I have come to know, Azazzel is not someone that likes war. He is more interested in Sacred Gears. Kokabiel is the one that likes war.] Ddraig said.

"Now that you say that, I did hear Kokabiel cursing Azazzel a few times from retreating from the war." Mittelt said.

"I see…" Rias said with a hand on her chin.

Silence fell on them. Issei then stood up and yawned.

[Well, we are off to bed. Goodnight everyone.] Ddraig said as Issei made his way up the stairs. He heard the girls reply goodnight.

Issei took a quick shower and brushed his teeth. He was now wearing a sleeveless white shirt and boxers. Issei once again yawned as he entered his bedroom. He lied down on his bed and looked at the ceiling. He now had four girls that moved in his house. Just as Ddraig said, his life is getting more and more levier.

[That it is Partner. That it is...] Ddraig said inside Issei's head. It was also the last thing that Issei heard before letting sleep consume him.

And that is the end of chapter 11. Hope you enjoy, despite the lack of action. Again this chapter was supposed to come out on maybe Monday or Tuesday, but since it's my birthday I'm giving you guys a present. Despite it being my birthday. Again, don't forget to vote for one of the options. Will Issei run away, or will he go into Juggernaut Drive? The answer is up to you guys. So until next time, I'll see you when you're older, don't go changing!
