"The Betrayal of a Lifetime." A DxD Fanfiction
Chapter 40. "Yandere?"
Scene (Yasaka Castle, Morning, Kyoto Japan)
We begin in the dinning area, once again. This time, Yasaka and Issei have joined. The couple looked to both have damp hair, (suggesting a previous bath), as they silently ate their egg and toast. Interestingly enough, both also had a continuous blush, one that never seemed to fade. Kuroka is looking back and forth at both Issei and Yasaka, grinning the entire time. Ophis was preoccupied with the fox princess, Kunuo, as the poor girl seemed to have seen far too much for her innocent little mind to process. "Do not fret, sensei. Perhaps we should enjoy another epic moment involving the Oppai Dragon." Throwing her little arms in the air, the fox girl seemed to cheer up at the notion of watching her favorite television show. "Good idea, my pretty student, Ophis-chan. For we shall continue your training! Ophis, turn on the TV!" Nodding very seriously, the infinite dragon god grabs the remote control, while staring at it for a moment while remembering how Kunou was operating it earlier, "yes, sensei. I just push on this button ever so lightly and…" (BUZZ) The first thing that was heard, coming from the television, was enough to gain everyone's attention all at once. Four heads all turn toward the screen and jaws begin to drop. "I'll smite you and stuff!" None other than Irina was the woman who spoke these words. She was standing next to a beautiful and blond woman, wearing white and gold armor. On the bottom of the screen, there was a heading. "Previous Interview with Gabrial and her teammate, Brave Saint Irina Shidou. Oppai Dragon Hunt has begun. We will be following teams and interviewing pantheons associated with Hyoudou Issei, the Red Dragon Emperor of Domination, AKA, The Oppai Dragon." Issei then spit out a gulp of coffee. "Wha!? (Cough Cough Cough) What in the… (Cough Cough), Irina is with…(cough), that scary angel, Gabriel!?" Ophis, Yasaka and Kuroka all turn their heads toward a gasping Issei. Patting his back lightly, Yasaka asks the question everyone wants to know. "Issei kun, ara ara, take a deep breath. I must ask, darling, do you know that, "scary", (as you put it), angel on the tv just now?"
Composing himself, Issei begins to turn pale as he shudders once more. "Well, ladies, to be completely honest with you, well. So, Michael sama, the leader of Heaven, well, he has this sister you see.." Issei shudders once more. Yasaka begins to frown and slowly brings Issei closer into her as her tails begin their usual wrapping around the teen. "Ara, ara, Issei, go ahead, you said she is Michael's sister…go on…" Nodding, Issei takes a moment to enjoy the warmth of Yasaka while taking a deep breath. "Well, there was this one time, when Michael bestowed this holy sword to me, back at Akeno's temple. Shortly after that, I started noticing random flashes whenever I would be alone, like camera flashes. At first, I thought this was either someone just messing with me. Then after a time, I started to think it was probably that no good sensei, Azazel, was sending someone to "study" me or something. Well, that was until I finally had enough and one day, I thought I would try and trap the ass hat who was taking photos of me, so I waited. I fired a small dragon shot toward the flash, only for the attack to be absorbed in some kind of holy shield. Well, long story short, Gabriel introduced herself and at the same time, proceeded to declare me as her…." Ophis, Kuroka, Yasaka and now even Kunou, all have widened eyes, waiting to hear the rest of the story, in great anticipation. Taking another deep breath, Issei continued as he shuddered once more. "She said something about how she wanted to take me away, somewhere far, just the "two of us". She kept calling me her, "pet". Well, let's just say, the moment she pulled out a dog collar, (with my name on the tag), I ran for my life."
Issei begins to rock back and forth as if he was having some sort of post-traumatic memory which caused Yasaka to tighten her tails a bit in response. "It was like something from a nightmare. This beautiful angel, turning, turning….omg… I can't believe I am going to say this, but, it was like something from a bad yandere anime and it was scary as hell. Pure nightmare fuel, seeing the grin on her face as she tossed golden light spears, blocking my escape attempts. To make matters worse, she must've constructed some kind of barrier as I wasn't able to call for help. But in the end, she gave up, I guess. Seemed like hours of this cat and mouse shit." Issei now looks at each girl in the room. "Yandere chicks are scary. I used to be a fan, really, I was. I used to own anime and novels that had such themes. Well, that was until I saw the real thing. After that day, I threw everything I had regarding the theme, in the trash. Haven't gone back since. You know what? I think Gabriel is insane and very dangerous and to be perfectly honest, if she is coming after me, with Irina, well, I don't think I would stand a chance" Issei's nervousness seemed to completely dissolve into a look of pure rage. "If monsters like her are hunting me down, that could put the lot of you in danger. I can't allow that. I, erm, I should go." Yasaka's tails tighten as the woman begins to sport a look of dissatisfaction. Ophis tilts her head as usual. Kuroka pulls her jaw from the floor and is about to say something as the neko starts to frown, that was until Kunou screamed.
"NOOOOOO! Papa-kun! NO, NO!" The little fox runs from her location and tackles a wrapped-Issei into a hug. This goes on while Kuroka is thinking of something to say, but the neko ran into the problem of catching her own tongue. Yasaka then pulls Issei's chin up, forcing him to look into her golden eyes. "Listen to me very carefully, for I will only tell you this once." Issei took a large gulp as his eyes were beginning to tear up. "You are MINE! Leaving? Leaving is NOT an option. NOT EVER!" Again, the fox queen was uncharacteristically raising her voice which intensified her commanding presence. "If you care about this family, you will become stronger. Do you HONESTLY THINK that I would just casually infuse my own spiritual energy into just anyone? How DARE YOU insult me! I am Yasaka of Kyoto and you, my wayward little fox, belong to me. Never speak of abandoning this family again!" Silence was only momentary as Ophis spoke up. "Sekiryuutei, clearly your previous injuries must have created some memory lapses. With that, allow me to remind you of a simple truth. I am Ophis. Like the fox over there, you also belong to me. Again, I am Ophis. Need I say more, Issei?" Attempting to reply to both women, Issei was interrupted once again, this time by D'Draig. "PARTNER, have you forgotten? You are among creatures that could easily be considered "god's" in their own right. Not to mention, WE ARE the RED DRAGON EMPEROR! Running away is out of the question, no, I say, we fight, we protect these good people. Either way, if and when they do track us, eventually, they will be led here. Who knows what could happen in our absence? Perhaps the hunters will use your new family against you, like kidnapping them for your return, it could happen. So, instead of running away, rather, stay here and get stronger!" D'draig's words made complete sense to everyone in the room. Completely gobsmacked with a multitude of emotions, Issei had only one thought running through his head as tears began to stream down and fall onto Yasaka's tails. "My family now, my home now, stick with them, yes." We end the scene with the entirety of the room all hugging the entrapped Issei as he breaks down with emotion.
