The Dragon's Hellcat ch. 1

~ Switch by Minami ~

POV: Koneko

After leaving the clubroom Koneko began walking towards Issei's house. [Fucking idiots, how could they not see it? Even I who's spent the least time with him could see the pain in his eyes, the fear, and even if they didn't know to berate and trash him like that, and for what? To force a confession out of him? As if his love for Rias wasn't obvious already with everything he did for her? Rias how could YOU not see it? Because he didn't say your fucking name?! All of you can suck it. I swear if I lose my senpai because of you I'll never forgive you.. Any of you] She thought with tears forming in her eyes.

When she reached Issei's house the front door was left wide open, this caused her to worry and run inside. Once she was inside she, to say she was shocked would be an understatement. The entire house was trashed, the couch in the living room was flipped over, the TV was cracked, the remote was stuck in the hole of the destroyed TV, the dining room table and all of the chairs were broken, shattered glass on the ground.

Fearing the worst, Koneko didn't hesitate to run up to Issei's room, she tried the door knob but it was locked, so she decided to knock. Apon knocking "Issei" she said, but there was no answer. She tried knocking again and called out a little louder "Issei!" Still no answer. Narrowing her eyes she but with a worried expression she kicked the door down to find that Issei wasn't there. Now this really made her worried, she entered his room finding a small note on his bed, apon picking up the note she immediately started tearing up the note just simply said "I'm done, don't come looking for me."

Sitting on his bed for a few minutes silent crying, holding onto the note "I have to find him, I know he basically said he wants to be left alone but he needs me" she said to herself as she got up releasing her cat ears and tail, she closed her eyes and began searching for his energy.

Scene Change - POV Issei - The Rocky Mountains, Location: Unknown

~Crackling thunder, pouring rain~

~Music Start: DBZ Soundtrack: The Galaxy's Last Moment~

Issei can be seen on top of one of the mountains staring off into the thunderstorm with tears flowing from his eyes completely silent before letting out a painful, and sorrowful scream sounding a bit like a roar, "Why?! Why can't they understand?!! Do they not care?! I helped them all through their pasts, and traumas, yet they couldn't see they couldn't see I've been dealing with trauma myself?!" Yelled Issei.

"Try having YOUR first love pretend to like you, gain your trust imagining your future together… just for her kill you and tell you it was all a lie and add salt to the wound by mocking you telling you how weak and pathetic you are, risk YOUR life to save a friend only to watch her die in your arms with your ex girlfriend mocking you and laughing in your face, then see if YOU'RE able to trust people the same again. Fighting with yourself in your mind fearing whether or not the people you come to love ACTUALLY like you and aren't just using you and deceiving you like the last one! See if you're able to fully trust and confess to someone then!" Roared Issei. Just then those memories of her words:

Raynare's voice in Issei's head: [Would you die for me Issei?] [You wanted to believe it so badly you never even caught on] [I LOVE A MAN THAT TAKES CONTROL WHERE WAS THIS WHEN WE WERE DATING HUH?!] [Please Issei help me, you wouldn't let those devils hurt me would you? I love you please help me defeat these devils if you do that then we can be together forever] [you wouldn't have been able to save her back then anyway, and surprise surprise you can't save her now]

~thunder crackle and lightning~

"FUCK THEM! FUCK THEM ALL! I'M DONE BEING USED BY THEM! I'M THE FUCKING RED DRAGON EMPEROR DAMMIT! I'M DONE BEING PLAYED LIKE A PUPPET! I'M DONE BEING SHOWN AROUND LIKE A TROPHY BY SUCH AN UNGRATEFUL BITCH! I HELPED THEM ALL THROUGH THEIR FUCKING PROBLEMS WHILE SUPPRESSING MY OWN! I HELPED THAT CRIMSON HAIRED BITCH ESCAPE HER MARRIAGE SACRIFICING MY FUCKING ARM FOR HER IN THE PROCESS PUTTING MY OWN LIFE AND BODY ON THE LINE FOR HER SAKE NUMEROUS TIMES, HELPED AKENO OVERCOME HER PAST TRAUMAS AND ACCEPT HERSELF, SACRIFICED MYSELF FOR ASIA MORE THAN ONCE GAVE HER THE THING SHE WANTED EVEN ASKED MICHAEL TO ALLOW HER AND XENOVIA TO PRAY DESPITE BEING DEVILS, HELPED KIBA OVERCOME HIS PAST, GOT GASPER TO COME OUT OF HIS SHELL, BUT BECAUSE I WASN'T READY TO CONFESS I'M BAD?!" Issei yelled out to no one in particular.

Koneko with tears in her eyes, ears and tail hiding behind a big rock had heard everything and she couldn't help herself. She ran up to him from behind wrapping her arms tightly around his waist laying her head on his back breaking him out of his thoughts before answering him in a saddened and a little bitter tone "No.. You aren't bad, they are. You didn't deserve that, and I understand everything. I'm sorry I hadn't been there for you all this time. I could always sense something troublesome inside you but decided to wait on it because I thought maybe you would come out about it when you were ready and I didn't tell them about it because I figured it wasn't my place to tell them. I'm sorry Issei, but none of it is your fault they're just selfish ungrateful bitches especially Rias who couldn't stop thinking about herself for a second and think about WHY you were unable to confess to her, same with the others and for them to bad mouth you for not knowing was uncalled for. But fuck them and fuck that slut Raynare you don't need them,

you don't need any of them, you have me and I'm staying by your side no matter what" said Koneko not letting him go from her embrace.

~Music Change: High School DxD Soundtrack: Nakama~

Issei was caught off guard by the sudden embrace he was being held in, more shocked at who it was that was embracing him. Her words caused him to gasp silently. He looked down at the ground thinking about what Koneko had said. [I mean I guess what she's saying is true. If it's coming from her, out of all of them her and Ravel were the only ones who hadn't bad mouth me. In fact now that I think about it Koneko looked like she was getting irritated by their words] thought Issei. He turned around to face her falling to his knees embracing her back wrapping his arms tight around her returning her embrace.

They sat like this in the pouring rain for a good 5 minutes before Issei finally spoke "I- I don't want to go back" he said in a shaky broken tone. "It's okay, we don't have to. I don't want to either, wherever you go I'm coming with you. I don't care if we become strays as long as we're together" she said in a soft but serious tone causing Issei to look at her in shock "are you sure? I thought you didn't like me because I'm perv" he asked.

She looked at him with a small smile and nodded "yes I am sure, and yes that's true in the beginning when we met I didn't like you because I thought you were just a perv and nothing else, but to be honest as time went on when we trained together at the training site when we were preparing for the rating game against Riser, seeing you get so pissed off when I was eliminated, seeing how you gave up your arm just to gain the necessary power to save Rias from the engagement, witnessing you defend and protect me time and time again even taking the blame for the plan to help Kiba so I wouldn't receive Rias's punishment of 1000 spankings, being so kind and caring towards me despite my hostility towards you even taking the time to teach me how to swim, I started falling for you and realizing you weren't a bad person you just happen to be a perv. I only continued putting up the mean front because I didn't want to acknowledge my feelings for you out of the fear of you rejecting me due to me having tiny tits.. And I continued to punch you whenever you had lecherous thoughts so that the others wouldn't catch on. And after you protected me from Kuroka and promised to protect and stop me if I ever went berserk due to my Nekomata powers, and helped me accept them. That's when I knew I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I've always wanted you to notice me and look at me the way you looked at Rias and Akeno, I've wanted you to dote on me the way you did Asia. I've always hated being last and due to lacking the things you love most which is big breasts I've been really insecure. So I've taken it out on you with insults and punching you, and I'm sorry.. I love you Issei.. I always have" Koneko confessed in a nervous but honest tone.

"I understand and I'm sorry you've felt this way, and I love you too Koneko" the next thing Koneko did caught him by total surprise, she kissed him. The rain still pouring down on them as Issei returns the kiss.
