Episode 2: The Holy Sword Is Here!-Part 2

A few moments later, Issei arrived downstairs to the kitchen, put on an apron, and began cooking breakfast for the boys. She put two pieces of bread in the toaster, started brewing green tea, and began making miso soup, then okayu, and finally cooked broccoli. The two watched her cook in a loving way, not only feeling happy that she was cooking for them, but that she was surprisingly good at multi-tasking while cooking. She would make a good lover to the both of them...but they didn't want to rush it! Besides, one of them might take her away from one another...

The two males looked at each other with competitive sparks in their eyes once again, thinking, I wouldn't let him...

...

Once she was done, she served them both miso soup, okayu, cooked broccoli, green tea, and toast. She only had miso soup, okayu, and green tea for herself. Asher and Richard decided to taste the miso soup first, Issei watching in nervousness. She hadn't cooked for a while, but she hoped the breakfast, especially the soup and okayu. Their faces looked blank. Maybe she did something wrong? She still remembered what her mother taught her, but maybe, just maybe-

Suddenly, both their eyes lit up, the two guys smiling. "This tastes wonderful, Isa!" Richard stated in glee.

"I agree, Issei-san!" added Asher. "It's almost like mom's cooking!"

She sighed in relief and smiled at the two of them. Thank God she didn't mess up the miso soup, at least. "Thanks!" she replied. "My mom did teach me ever since I was little. I hadn't cooked in a long time, so it's not the best."

The two then tasted the okayu, then the broccoli, the toast, and finally, the tea. "This is all so delicious!" the blonde-haired male stated. "You should cook more often!"

"You really think so?" She looked a bit bashful. "I don't know, my food's not as good as my mom's or President's-"

"Then let me teach you," the red-haired man suggested with a reassuring smile, making her blush and look at him. She couldn't believe her ears.

Pr-President cooking for me?! she thought as the image of him seductively teaching her how to stir.

"Just stir the spoon from left to right, Isa~," imaginary Richard said.

Jealous once again, Asher said, "I want to teach you too, Issei-san! I can cook well too!" She looked at him as well, keeping her blush.

A-Asher-kun too?! She then imagined kindly and cutely teach her how to cut a vegetable.

"Just like this, Issei-san!" imaginary Asher said.

"I'm sure Isa is just fine with just one of us teaching her," Richard stated, the competitive spark appearing in his eyes and looking at the former priest.

He looked back at him with the competitive spark as well. "But you would distract her while teaching her, with your...body and all!" he retorted.

"I wouldn't do that unless she told me too. Plus, I teach you."

"But I've been cooking since I was little!"

"So was I."

Issei could only sweat-drop and look embarrassed about them bickering. Ever since Richard moved in, the two always bickered, but then they consider themselves friends. She never knew why. That was why she said, "You can both teach me!" The two stopped bickering and looked at her as if that idea was new.

"Huh. That's actually not a bad idea, Isa," Richard replied. "Ash and I always cook together."

Asher nodded. "That's true. It'd actually be better if we both teach you since we cook together!"

The female pervert sighed. Thank goodness I've stopped the bickering, she thought, relieved. She would have to deal with their bickering one way or another.

Arriving at Kuoh Academy was Sora and Tsutomu. Sora was reading a book while carrying his bookbag as Tsutomu walked next to him with his own bookbag in hand too as well as a long, encased, pole-like figure over his shoulder. The guy with the glasses quickly stopped and closed the book he was reading, making his comrade stop as well.

"President?" he asked before seeing what he was seeing, both of their eyes narrowed and serious.

From the other side of the bridge, there were two cloaked individuals, the same guys that were in the church the other night. Sora spotted the blue-haired male with the large, taped sword. "A Holy Sword..." he muttered under his breath, wondering why that and the two guys were doing there.

Inside the school, Issei was hanging out with Matsuyo and Motoe. She looked a bit puzzled at them. "Karaoke?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's been a while! You wanna go?" replied Matsuyo.

Motoe pushed her glasses up, smiling. "Not only do they have insert songs, but also character songs!" she added.

Akiro walked behind her and grinned, asking, "What about 'insert?'" That shocked all the girls as they looked at him with widened eyes.

"Kiryuu?!" they all exclaimed.

He snickered. "How gross. Why talk about such things in the morning?"

The two other girls pouted at him. His butt was seen from behind. "We were just talking about karaoke!" the shaved-haired girl stated in an annoyed tone.

"Oh, karaoke? Sounds like fun! Can I go along too?" He then looked back. "And Asher as well?"

"You can't invite yourself to our-" Issei replied, being a bit annoyed. However, she stopped her sentence when she saw Asher stop next to him.

"Yeah, I want to go as well," he answered with a smile. "Sounds like fun!"

"WHAAAAAAAT~?!" exclaimed Matsuyo and Motoe happily as they held each other's hands, gawking at him like fangirls. Issei could only face-palm, though karaoke with Asher sounded like a lot of fun...

In the evening, Issei and Asher were inside the old schoolhouse, heading to the clubroom, when they noticed the floor shining. "Wow, it's all so clean," the blonde-haired guy stated.

The female pervert saw the reflection of Asher's bulge on the floor, looking lecherous. "Y-yeah, very clean and shiny!" she added. She saw the reflection turn another direction, his bulge bouncing a little. She looked up and followed him, a bit puzzled. "Asher-kun?" He stopped and looked at something.

"What is that room about?" he asked. She decided to look where he was looking and saw a door with a bunch of "Keep Out" yellow tape around it and a chained up lock.

"Oh, the Forbidden Room?" she replied. "That's been there for a long time." Asher began to wonder what could be behind that door. Maybe it would be better if he didn't, so he didn't.

Now with the two in the clubroom, Richard sat on one of the couches, his legs crossed and his underbulge a bit exposed. "The schoolyard has been cleaned up well," he said to everyone else. "With this, we'll have a fresh start."

Issei looked at the entire room. It was clean, but only Richard and Kabu (excluding herself and Asher) were in it, so she asked, "Where's Kiba?"

"Yumi-senpai is taking a day-off of school," the white-haired shouta answered, eating an apple.

The two were confused. "Kiba-san? Taking a day-off?" Asher questioned.

A little worried, the female pervert looked to the red-haired man. "President, does this have anything to do with what we talked about yesterday?" He only replied with his arms crossed and his eyes looking to the ground, frowning. She began to frown as well. "President, does Kiba have anything to do with the Holy Swords?"

He sighed again, looking up at her. "Remember what I told you about Kiba being the only survivor of the Holy Sword Project?" he asked her.

She nodded. "Yes."

"Well, she wasn't the only one in that project; several others were there alongside her, being raised to wield Excalibur." Both Issei and Asher gasped. "As of now, there are seven Holy Swords with the name Excalibur."

"Only seven?" asked Issei.

He switched legs, his underbulge still seen. "Yes, Isa. Pieces of the original Excalibur were scattered long ago during a war. The Church gathered its pieces and used alchemy to create the seven swords."

"So, Kiba was supposed to be able to wield the sword?"

He shook his head at her. "No, not even those being trained were able to adapt to Excalibur." His eyes turned unhappy as he muttered, "The project ended in a failure and those in charge decided to dispose of Yumi and the other test subjects." The two gasped louder, looking aghast at that piece of information.

"Failure?!" exclaimed the former priest.

"Dispose of...wait, you mean..." the female pervert asked, trailing off. She knew what that meant.

"They were on the verge of death already, especially Yumi," Richard continued. He then remembered a snowy night from long ago. A younger Yumi was dying in the snow, her body immobile and the snow covering it. "But she managed to run away alone while near death, swearing on revenge." He remembered approaching her, making her look up at him. He wore a long white coat with white fur as lacing, a matching hat, black pants, and black snow boots. "I wanted her to use her passion in a meaningful way as a devil." Her face then got down, her closing her eyes and the girl herself...dead. Richard looked at her with a solemn look on his face as his crimson hair shone in moonlight and the wind blowing it.

Asher and Issei looked hurt, feeling sorry for Yumi. "That's why Kiba became a devil..." the brown-haired girl muttered, remembering the picture with her and the "girl". "That's why she asked me about the picture..." She began to feel bad for having her look at it if that was her history with Holy Swords.

Richard took a deep breath and looked at the two with a reassuring smile, "We'll just have to wait and see what happens next." Though he was worried about her, he hoped she could come around, at the very least. If not, then-

His thoughts were interrupted when the door opened, getting everyone's attention. It revealed Akihiko, walking into the room and saying, "Eeto, eeto~, look at everybody here~." He followed that up with his usual chuckle.

"You're late, Akihiko," the red-haired male stated.

"My apologies, President~, but it was because I was bringing some guests along~." He then extended his arm out as Sora and Tsutomu appeared and went inside as well.

"Please excuse us," the guy with the glasses said.

"The Student Body President and Vice-President?" Issei questioned.

"Both have said that they need to discuss something with the President urgently~," the raven-haired man stated.

Sora nodded. "Yes." He took a step forward. "Richard, will you come to my house with me now? There, no one will intrude."

Richard's face turned serious. "It sounds like a complicated situation," he said worriedly.

"Yes, very." He clenched his fists. He didn't like the sound of that...

Eye Catch #31: Asher is laying on his back on the floor, sort of wearing his priest outfit since his arms were covered by the sleeves and having his thighs rest on his bare chest and his shins and feet up. He's wearing his tightie-whites and touching his average-sized bulge with the tips of his fingers. His butt cheeks were also shown. He only fully wore his boots and his vestment was unbuttoned completely, showing off his semi-sculpted chest. He's blushing and still looking innocent.

Stopping here, what do you think? Any mistakes? I hope that breakfast scene was okay, I know it strays from canon.

Follow, favorite, review, and I'll see you in the next chapter! :D
