Chapter Start

"... and now here we are, sitting in the clubroom watching a bunch of teen-turned-toddlers sleep peacefully on the sofa."

Issei and Rossweisse had been sitting at Rias' desk, the former sitting in the president's seat and the latter sitting in front of him. The former had also just finished explaining to Rossweisse the events that had transpired in the previous chapter, making sure to give her as many details as he could so they had a better shot of coming up with a game plan to take care of the children that had now been bestowed upon them due to a certain faction leader's mistake.

"I see, that makes sense…" it did not, infact, make any sort of sense, but Rossweisse wasn't gonna let her student see the inner panic that was going through her head. She had to keep up a calm persona for him dammit! She was the only responsible adult that could support him as of right now.

"So…. what's the plan of action sensei?" Issei asked, breaking the silver haired woman out of her thoughts.

"O-oh, well I was hoping you had already made one…" Rossweisse said sheepishly while rubbing the back of her neck. Responsible adult my ass, she couldn't even come up with a plan.

"Hm, well you're not wrong… However, I wanted your input as well, since you're pretty much my co-parent." Issei's reply had resulted in the former-valkyrie to blush and squirm slightly in her seat.

'Oh my god, he just called me his co-parent? Does that make us a couple now? Wait, calm yourself Rossweisse, he's your student for god's sake.'

Oblivious to the inner turmoil his sensei was going through, Issei called out to her to try and get back on track with the conversation.

"Sensei!" Seeing Rossweisse look up at him, Issei continued, "Back to the plan, I already had something that I was thinking of, but I needed your thoughts and opinions before I could carry on with it."

Still slightly out of it, Rossweisse nodded at the boy, letting him know to continue.

"Okay, first I need to know if you have the same ability as Rias that allows her to alter people's memories and help in persuasion."

"Yep! I have an ability that's similar enough that it's pretty much the same." Rossweisse replied, finally getting out of the daze that she had previously fallen into.

"Okay, perfect. I need you to use that to convince my parents to let the kids stay with us so they don't get suspicious or anything. Not that we need to worry about them all that much right now, seeing as they're on vacation right now in the Bahamas." Usually Issei would curse out his parents for leaving him behind to go on one of their expensive vacations again, but due to the circumstances he was thanking every deity he could think of for his great fortune.

Unsurprisingly his head suddenly started to hurt.

Issei continued while holding his head in mild discomfort, "As I was saying, besides my parents, we also need to inform Rias' family and try and get some aid from them. Though that's tomorrow's problem. I don't really want to deal with Sirzechs right now. My headache would increase exponentially if I did."

Rossweisse nodded in agreement, not really wanting to deal with the Rias' eccentric older brother either.

"Now getting on to the problems that we need to solve right now." Issei's face became slightly more serious than it was before, "First off we need to figure out how to get all of them out of here and back to my house without anyone noticing, especially Sona, I don't want to deal with her until tomorrow as well." Teleporting wouldn't work, neither of them had the ability to teleport multiple people at the same time.

Rossweisse sat there, contemplating his words for a second until her face suddenly lit up.

"How about we just wait till it's night time and just fly them home, that way we can sneak out without anyone noticing!" Rossweisse said, seemingly proud of her answer.

"That could work, but we'd need to be careful so Sona doesn't see , we can make that work, not like we have any other way of getting them out of here." Issei mumbled the last part out, but ultimately agreed with all, they didn't really have that many options anyways. "Moving on, we need to figure out sleeping arrangements. All of us would have to share a room if we wanted it to work out."

Issei's last statement had made the silver haired beauty blush, while Issei looked at her obliviously.

"W-well if we're going to s-sleep together we're gonna need a really big room, n-not to mention a place for the children to comfortably sleep." Rossweisse sputtered out, still blushing due to Issie's previous comments.

Issei would've acknowledged it, but he had more important things to worry about.

"Yeah, you're right sensei. We're definitely gonna need to rearrange my room to fit all of us. How about you go back to the house (mansion) and set up my room as you see fit for all of us while I stay here and watch over the children and clean up the mess they left." Issei replied, already getting up and beginning to clean up the room again.

After all, he never did get to clean due to Rossweisse's intervention.

"Got it Ise! I'll do my best." Rossweisse saluted while disappearing into a magic circle.

Issei sighed.

This was gonna be one hell of a night.

-Line Break-

"Phew, finally finished. That took less time than I thought," Issei sighed as he put his broom against the wall and sat on the only free spot on the couch. He had just finished cleaning up the room which had caused him to lose the little energy he had.

"Maybe I'll take a nap while I wait for sensei to come back…" Issei said in a tired tone, leaning against the back of the couch. As soon as he closed his eyes and put his head back one of the sleeping children began to move around, apparently waking up after their short nap.

Issei sighed. He should've known he wouldn't be able to get rest that easily.

Opening his eyes, Issei looked around to find who was moving around, instantly spotting a mostly-blue-haired girl sitting up and slowly rubbing her eyes opposite to him.

'Xenovia is so cute omg, I can just eat her up' Issei thought to himself while putting his hands on his cheeks and excitedly wiggling his body.

While Issei continued his absurd act, Xenovia finally took her hands off her eyes and stared at the aforementioned teen. She slowly got off the sofa and began to walk towards the unsuspecting teen. At least she tried to walk towards him, but ended up tripping on her oversized pants and falling face first in front of her caretaker.

That definitely stopped Issei's gushing.

Issei quickly went over to the fallen girl to see if she was alright. Picking her up he saw small tears pooling around her adorable little eyes. Thinking on his feet, Issei brought the girl to his chest and started rubbing her head while telling her she'll be fine.

After a few moments Xenovia stopped crying and looked up at her caretaker, still lightly sniffling.

"P-pa-*sniff*-Papa?" Xenovia asked in a questioning tone, sounding as adorable as she looked.

The sudden statement that came out of Xenovia's mouth made Issei freeze up. He really wasn't sure how to react. Looking into the questioning eyes of the little girl in his arms he finally came up with a response.

"Yesah, I'm your papa." Issei said in a low voice, smiling as he hugged her a little tighter than before.

Xenovia almost immediately brightened up and began excitedly squirming in his lap.

"YAY, PAPA!" she all but shoved herself into his chest.

Lightly chuckling to himself, Issei picked himself and Xenovia off the floor and sat back onto the couch where he was sitting just moments prior. Hugging her 'papa' lightly, Xenoiva began to drift off to sleep.

'We really need to get them new clothes, and maybe a few packs of diapers too, just in case.'

With those last thoughts, Issei Hyoudou also drifted off into unconsciousness.

-Line Break-

Issei woke up to an absolute mess.

Right in front of him all of the kids, sans Xenovia who was sitting in his lap, were running around while a frantic Rossweisse chased after them. Some of the furniture had been upturned due to the extreme game of tag that was being played, as well as some of the walls having huge marks on them.

Issei's patience had finally run dry from the full day of stress.

Issei calmly got off his spot on the sofa with Xenovia still in his arms, who was now looking curiously up at him, and began to walk to Rias' desk. Once he got there he grabbed an uneasy Rossweisse, who still hadn't noticed him wake up, and put her right next to him and began to speak.

"EVERYONE SIT DOWN!" Issei yelled out, using a little bit of his aura to help scare the children. Fearing for their lives, all of the children obediently followed his command and sat on the floor in front of him while looking down at the ground in a slightly ashamed manner.

Gently putting Xenovia with the rest of the group, Issei began his lecture.

"Okay, I'm only gonna go over this once, got it?" Getting nods of agreement from the children he continued, "I am about to clear up some things and make some rules, so I better get all of your attention. Me and sensei here," Issei pulled Rossweisse closer getting an "Eep!" in response, "Are, for the time being, you're caretakers. You can call us whatever you want, Xenovia decided to call me papa but I don't really care either way, but you better listen to what we say. Tonight you will be staying with us, but from tomorrow we aren't too sure what will happen to you, so please try and behave yourselves." Glancing at the clock Issei activated his boosted gear, causing awe and fear to erupt amongst the children, "Me and sensei will be taking you to my home right now, so grab onto either one of us." As soon as he finished he activated his Balance Breaker and waited for the kids to make their choice.

The new transformation had definitely made most of the kids more wary of him, but that didn't seem to affect Xenovia at all as she walked straight up to him.

"Papa, up." Xenovia raised up her hands and began jumping in front of Issei. The brown haired teen didn't miss a beat as he pulled her up into his right arm, leaving the other one for whoever else decided to come with him.

Gaining more confidence, Rias went up and occupied Issei's left arm. Kiba, Gasper and Asia had already decided to go to Rossweisse at that point. After Rias, Koneko quickly ran up to Issei and grabbed onto the front of Issei's armor, much like a cat. That left Irina and Akeno to decide who they wanted to go with. Both of them had their eye on Issei so, after a quick game of Rock-Paper-Scissors, Akeno dejectedly made her way towards Rossweisse. Irina on the other hand excitedly jumped onto Issei's shoulders, grinning the entire time.

Opening the window, Issei made one last statement.

"Hold on tight!" Leaving the clubroom in a blur.

The screams of scared children could be heard throughout the city.

Chapter End

A/N

Okay, so while the previous chapter was a sort of introduction to the story, this chapter was more of a way to set the tone for the rest of the story. Honestly kinda proud of my work on this story so far, even if it is slightly lackluster compared to the rest of the stories in this fandom.

Continuing on, I'd like to address the damn title of the story. Stupid FFN wouldn't let me make it what I wanted, which was "The Red Dragon of… Babysitting?" Apparently dots around aloud in the titles, That's a load of bull if I've ever heard one.

Also, as you may have noticed, Issei is OOC as fuck and honestly, I don't know what to do about it. So please bear with it until I can find a way to properly balance out his character. Besides that I'll try and keep this story as consistent as possible and try to give each individual character, including Rossweisse, their own little spotlight with Issei, kinda like how Xenovia's scene was in this chapter.

Anyways, thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a review if you have any questions, comments, concerns, etc. It really helps keep me motivated. Once again, thanks for reading, see ya next time, bye!
