"The Betrayal of a Lifetime." A DxD Fanfiction
Chapter 27. "Monster"
Scene (Gregori)
In a large library, we can see Azazel. He is sitting at a desk while looking through multiple and old looking books. The largest book of the bunch was bound in brown leather and had what looked to be a japanese nine tailed fox animal standing over a river. This was posted on the front cover while the spine showed a celtic style knot using multiple fox tails in gold. Azazel was looking through this every book, only to facepalm himself.
"No way. Why would she have anything to do with this?" Azazel puts the book down while massaging his temples. "Well, it would explain the mom and dad visit. Though I should retract some of my recent theories. Only way to know is to ask, I suppose." Azazel then facepalms again, "and why am I talking to myself?" Deciding that now was the time, Azazel then summons a communication circle. Azazel smirks, "well, at least I know you aren't hurt, kid."
Scene (Yasaka's Bedroom)
"Ara, ara, that is ninety eight?" Issei has a beet red face with a smile that could only suggest nervousness and arousal, both at the same time. Yasaka on the other hand, she had the same expression as earlier. A half crescent smile with warm eyes that saw nothing but the boy that was wrapped in her many tails, Yasaka then lifts Issei in for another kiss as she puckers. Issei is about to close his eyes again, that was until a noise, a very loud noise interrupted the moment. (Ring a Ding Ding Ding Ding, I said, A Ring a Ding Ding Ding Ding) An orange circle which had the sigil of the Gregori appeared next to the head of Kuroka. Instantly, the woman pulled back and looked incredibly embarrassed. Issei tilted his head while looking at the pulsing orange circle.
"So, you can customize the notification sounds on those things?" Who knew?" Issei then shrugged his shoulders which felt really nice against the soft fur that enveloped his body. Smiling, Issei looks up at Yasaka, "you're good, cool tone, Yasaka san." Yasaka gains a nervous smile and nods. "Well, I suppose I should answer that, so please, say nothing. That is unless…" Yasaka moves a tail close toward Issei's mouth. Issei nodded very fast as he got the point. "Ara, ara, good little fox." Yasaka now looks at the circle and it stops ringing. "Is this Lady Yasaka of Kyoto?" The fox queen responds, "yes, Governor, it is I. What can I say is the reason for your call?" The orange circle pulses. "With all due respect, Lady Yasaka, I know." Yasaka shudders but maintains her composure. "That is quite the bold statement, Azazel sama. And why, may I ask, would you assume I would have anything to do with Issei's disappearance?" The orange circle pulses while Issei wishes he had his hands free so he could facepalm himself. "Erm, Lady Yasaka, I never said anything about Issei? Well, not yet. You just jumped the gun, ma'am."
Yasaka's jaw is agape. Issei then manages to shake himself free of the distracted Yasaka tails. As he sits back up, he puts an arm on the blond woman's shoulder as she looks back at Issei with wide eyes. Issei smiles and mouths the words, "it's okay, he can be trusted." Yasaka nods and mouths, "I'm sorry." Issei uses his free hand to touch the cheek of the youkai. Yasaka enjoys the touch and blushes. The orange circle pulses once again. "Hey, Fox Lady, do you hear me!? We need to talk, now! Also, I want to speak with Issei right this very minute, otherwise I will go straight to Sirzechs and Michael!"
Issei then screams back into the circle. "Sensei, CHILL OUT! Give me a minute, would'ya!" The orange circle stops pulsing. Issei nods and looks back at a blushing and smiling Yasaka. "You still need to finish your, erm, Kissu "punishment" after this, I think you said ninety-eight?" The fox queen gains a very excited smile and nods. "The longer you make me wait, well, let's just say that I will add to your well deserved, "pun-ish-ment, ara ara." Issei is totally turned on by those seductive golden eyes, but realizes he might have a problem if he doesn't act soon. "Azazel Sensei. It's me and I am okay. I saw the news and no, I have not been kidnapped. I have a lot to tell you, hell, you probably won't even believe me. I wouldn't believe me, not after what happened." Yasaka sits upward and softly places Issei against her chest as she rubs the top of his head, over his bandages. The orange circle pulses. "Issei, I know, we all know." Issei shudders. "What is it, that you "know"?"
Issei assumed that Rias told them a story of him being the bad guy in all of this. "Issei, we know what Rias did to you. We know she hurt you, damn near killed you. You always beat the odds in almost everything, that's why I knew, even when you purged your evil pieces, I knew that you would survive." The voice on the other side of the circle sounded flustered, as if trying not to break down. "The moment I came to the conclusion that you were with Yasaka, a weight lifted from my heart. Issei, I thought the worst, I thought you were taken away, somewhere like the void or worse. Many thoughts of you being tortured or manipulated into serving some evil pantheon, well, let's just say I haven't been sleeping well. That goes for a good deal of many people aside from myself, Issei." Issei begins to sob as Yasaka tightens her hold. "I'm, ss,sorry Sensei, I r,really am. But, Rias, Azazel, Rias is fucking evil! She is Fffucking evil! She smiled at me, Sensei! She smiled when she shot that fucking blast at my hhhHead!" The circle pulsed. "Beleive me, we had no idea, I had no idea! Nobody did, she had all of us fooled!" Issei spits out a few sentences as he is almost inconsolable at this point. "Shhhe let mme die, did you know that?"
Scene (Gregori)
Tears are in his eyes as he stares blankly at the communication circle in front of him. Azazel flares his powers as he responds. "What do you mean?" Issei, through the circle, replies. "When, when, when Rrraynare killed me. Rias, she practically planned it out. Shhhe had herrr familiar hand me a flier. It was a summoning circle. Oh damn…erm… So, I have that with me, shortly after, I erm, die, well, it suddenly teleports my "savior". Perfect timing, right?" Azazel nods while gritting his teeth, "go ahead, continue, I am sure that's not everything." The orange circle remains still for a moment, then it pulses again.
"The next day, I had no idea what had happened. I was left alone, for the entire day. Rrrraynare, erm, I mean, Rias, she enjoyed watching me squirm around like a worm. She waited until I was yet again attacked by another angel, Dohnaseek. Only then and only then, did she step in and actually do something! Don't you see, she planned everything! I was nothing but amusement for her sociopathic ass!" Azazel flares his power once again but slowly sits back down on his chair while holding his fist against his teeth.
