"The Betrayal of a Lifetime." A DxD Fanfiction

Chapter 12. "Ophis"

Scene (Yasaka Castle)

Issei slowly turns his head toward a nervously smiling Yasaka. She begins to blush. "Yasaka sama, with all due respect, you have some explaining to do." Yasaka turns her smile into a frown as she looks down. "Issei, as I told you earlier, I did some bad things, things that I am not proud of. Well, maybe I took you without anyone knowing? More so, I apprehended you while you were under the watchful eyes of Sirzechs herself, so I am sure that struck a cord with her. But I only did it because I didn't think they would find a way to save you in time. So, you see, I am a bad person, I understand if you…" Yasaka is shocked out of her speech as she feels Issei wrap both of his arms around her. The fox looks up with widened eyes as Issei has his face buried in the side of her neck. "T,T,Thank you. Thank you.. Thank you.."

Yasaka places a hand on the back of Issei head as she begins to smile sadly. "Thank you for not telling anyone. I don't want to see her, I don't want to. As far as Sirzechs, I am sure she is disappointed in me for abandoning everyone like that, but I just can't. It, it, it still, it hurts. Just like the other time, when I was, ugh., it hurts. I am sorry for lashing out at you like that, it's just so much has happened in such a short time. Kunou, Yasaka, thank you, both. There is no other place in the world I'd rather be right now. So, thank you." At the last sentence, Issei begins to break down in tears. Yasaka tightens her hold as Issei does the same. Kunuo is looking at the couple with watery eyes. "So, it was that Rias President lady, she did something to papa…that is not okay, bad devil, bad, bad devil!"

In the room adjacent, we can see Kuroka sitting on a toga mat. She is speaking into a black colored communication circle. The sigil on the magical item looked to be that of a snake, eating its own tail. "So, that's really all I wanted to say about it. You aren't disappointed in me, are you?" Kuroka waits for a reply as she begins to look at her fingernails in boredom. The black circle pulses and then a cold and childish female voice responds. "I..see. That…is regrettable. Hyoudou, that was the entity in which you speak? Perhaps you are..speaking of the Sekiryuutei that has the same name?"

Kuroka looks from her fingernails, now toward the circle while yawning. "Yeah Ophie, what of it?" The black circle begins to grow. This causes Kuroka to back up while standing. After a few moments, the circle was large enough for a small person to walk through and sure enough, somebody did. Wearing a gothic lolita dress and headpiece, we see the ever illusive Ouroborus Dragon in her little-girl form. Taking a breath or two, the nekomata smirks.

"Ophis, seriously? That was random as hell. You can't be that pissed at me for leaving!" The little girl tilts her head as her gray eyes focus on the cat woman. Moving a very long and black strand of hair from her face, the now known, Ophis speaks up. "Show me to…Hyoudou. Show me to the Sekiryuutei." Flustered at first, Kuroka begins to shake her head no. "First, shhh! Second, no can do. If Yasaka finds out that you're here, well, that would just be very bad." Ophis tilts her head the other way. "I can feel…feel…the red dragon emperor, he is close. If you won't show me where he is, then…then I will find him." Kuroka begins to panic as she has both of her arms outstretched. "Wait, wait, wait, okay, fine, you want Issei? I will make that happen, but you must calm down, please, Ophis." The little girl simply places both of her hands on her hips. "This…better be good…Neko.."

Scene (Gremory Estate, The Underworld)

We see a large table with an arrangement of high class officials sitting in large chairs. From one end to the other we can see Sirzechs, Grayfia, Serafall, Michael, Gabriel, Azazel and Penemue. "Raiding games be damned, we need to find Issei." Sirzechs seems to have slammed both of her hands on the large table in anger. Responding, Azazel speaks up. "I agree with you, I really do, but, I may have a solution that could act like two birds being hit with one stone." Sirzechs nods, "continue." Nodding back, Azazel lights a cigarette as he begins his explanation. "Well, we may have an opportunity to both find Issei and keep the masses entertained at the same time. They will completely forget about any raiding games after they watch what we are going to present!" Sirzechs seems to lighten up a bit as a small smile can be seen.

"We will broadcast a live Oppai-Dragon Hunt! We can make it an event in itself. Teams can register and begin their searches. Camera crew can follow these teams and report live data. That, along with interviews from some of the major pantheons that Issei has impacted, I think that would be a productive way in looking at this situation." Azazel sits back down. Serafall jumps up, "yeah! I love it! Great idea!" Michael looks at Gabriel, "I suppose you could enter too, if you like, Gabriel…" The blond female, (who was very well endowed), cracks her knuckles and looks back at Michael with a grin. "Well, lets say I find Issei, Sirzechs, what would be the prize? Maybe I can keep him?" Sirzechs looks at this yandere angel with her mouth agape.

Well, if you love where this is going, hit me up on discord! Thank you for the love! /Y9YXUMz5
