"The Betrayal of a Lifetime." A DxD Fanfiction
Chapter 42. "Company?"
Scene (Hyoudou House, Kuoh Japan)
"That's enough, the both of you! Seriously, what kind of parents, raised such bad little girls like the two of you just now!?" Mr and Ms Hyoudou were scolding both Akeno and Gabriel, as the two girls were on their knees in a prostrating position. Meanwhile the rest of the peerage can be seen, all with cleaning items such as brooms and dustpans. They look to be cleaning broken dry-wall from the floor and furniture. As the scene pans out, we can see that the entire hallway looks to be the victim of some sort of attack. Broken picture frames, burned walls, broken siding, it was a disaster area. Mr Hyoudou looked to be a little worse for wear as his bloodshot eyes continued to scan the area, imaging the amounts of money this would all cost to repair. Ms Hyoudou was continuing to berate the subjugated girls who continued to nod with frowns on both of their faces. Irina, (who was holding a dust pan), looked over toward Issei's parents and decided to ask some questions, while she had the chance. "Say, Mr and Ms Hyoudou, I have some questions for you, if you don't mind, but it's important, it's about Issei." Both parents turn their attention toward Irina, who now sported a small nervous tick on her head. "Well, um, do you know where Issei is?" Both parents begin to tilt their heads, then they scan the area, looking firstly at Irina, then the girls on their knees, then the damage to the home. Mr Hyoudou was the first to reply. "Wait, was this whole fight thing about Issei? I knew it! Damn kid even causes trouble when he ain't even around!" Irina loses her natural energetic posture and begins to slump at the news of Issei "not being around".
"No, Mr Hyoudou, it's not about Issei, well, okay, yes it is, it really is. So if you know anything, please tell me!" Everyone in the entire room widens their eyes at this declaration. Ms Hyoudou then shrieks, "know anything? What are you talking about? Is my son missing or something? What's going on? That can't be right, we just saw him not too recently, in our bedrooms to boot, so what are you getting at Irina?" Akeno facepalms herself as Gabriel begins to grin. "Really, Mr and Ms Hyoudou, you don't know?" Gabriel then rises and points at her own halo while smiling. Realizing that they never noticed before, both parents dropped their jaws at the sight as the angel also released all twelve of her white wings. "Well, I suppose I shall be the one to tell you everything. I wonder how many times you have had your memories altered up until now? Regardless, I suggest the two of you sit down and prepare for a good deal of life-changing information". Both parents nod as their jaws are being dragged alongside them as they make their way toward the living room.
Scene (Pocket Dimension, Dimensional Gap)
"Wow, D'draig, I haven't had to take a break in weeks now! Aside from some obvious things and small breaks for "essential" things, I have had my balance breaker active this entire time! Add the random boosting, here and there, just for fun and I think I have come to a conclusion…" Issei's gauntlet glows green, waiting for a reply. "Well, D'draig, I think I was meant to have this power for one reason. It's taken me a while to realize it, but I think I got it now. Before, all I would do is protect R, Rias and all of them, without hesitation, because I thought they were, you know, family I guess. Anyway, that's the past. But now, when I see the faces of Yasaka san, Kuroka san, little Kunou chan and Ophis, I feel something different. I always felt at arms length with the peerage and I never realized it until now. But with them, I don't? I almost feel like I could say or do anything and not be ashamed, isn't that strange?"
The green glow begins to pulse. "Fufufufu, Hahahahaha! Issei, partner, you are hilarious!" Issei, (in his full set of scale mail armor), gains a tickmark on his helmet. "No, no, hahaha, no, erm, haha. Okay, I got that out of my system. Look, so it's obvious ain't it?" Issei tilts his head. "Baka! Issei, you are hopeless!" Issei stands up from the ground, looking at his surroundings while shrugging off the odd laughter from his sacred gear. Looking toward the "Doll House" that Ophis prepared for him, Issei decided it was time for a break as he began to walk toward said home. Black and purple were the colors of this strange house. Victorian in nature with gothic twists, this little house looked as if it belonged in a child's bedroom as a toy. The size however was that of a human-sized dwelling. It had all of the amenities that one would need to live which included plumping, heating, food, comfort and entertainment. In the entrance way, a sign could be read. "Ophis 3 Issei." Smiling at the wooden sign, Issei continued into the home and was about to do his usual routine that he has been doing for weeks now, that was until something out of the ordinary was smiling and looking back at him. As Issei was entering his doll-like kitchen area, another person was standing next to the pink oven, while holding a cup of hot tea. Issei was about to say something that as until this red haired man, (who was wearing a gray business suit), opened his mouth, showing off a toothpick.
"Yo, breast addict! How ya been doin?" Issei widened his eyes in shock and looked a bit taken back. "Okay, that first comment, fair enough, totally true, but as far as "how I've been doin?" I don't know you, do I, erm, sir?" Looking at this tall guy, who looked to belong to some triad yakuza gang, Issei's childhood instincts made him instantly feel stressed and worrisome. "The man began to laugh very loudly as he looked around the interior of this strange "house". Finally ending his gaze back onto Issei, the man spoke up. "Ya know, it's rude to stare and not introduce yourself. This makes it twice now. The first time being back in the underworld. Ya know, when you went all nuclear and shit. Then I kept hearing all of this nonsense about boobs this and boobs that. Finally having enough of it all, I take a peak from the Dimensional Gap, only to see ya, staring at me like a baka. Aside from being surrounded by questionable individuals, I also noticed my old and disgruntled roommate. Anyway, none of ya introduced themselves and I thought it was rude, so I left. But now, wouldn't ya just know it, here you are, hanging out in a pocket-side of my home. And now that I notice it, from the looks of this place and this pocket dimension, you are indeed still hanging out with Doofy Ophis. Why?" The man now begins to lean against the breakfast nook while sipping his tea and chewing on his toothpick.
