Issei and everyone else had just been released to lunch. He had decided to have lunch on the roof since he didn't know anyone other than Sona and Rias. He couldn't have lunch with either as one doesn't know he is there and it ruin the surprise, and the other one might kill him as soon as she sees him. As such the roof was the best option.
What he did not expect to find on the roof what a small white haired girl that smelled like a cat but he could sense that she was a devil. The had noticed as well but what was weird was that looked to be very shaken. Issei then realizes that he was still releasing his aura. He reigns it in then rubs the back of his head embarrassed cor not realizing it sooner.
The white haired looks confused so Issei addresses her. "Sorry about that. Im Issei. I didnt mean to scare you." She just stares at like she trying to see if he is lying. She then relaxes seeing as he was telling the truth she speaks in a quiet voice. "My name is Koneko. What are you? You smell weird." Issei is taken aback by this and smiles awkwardly.
"W-well I am a dragon." As soon as he says this Koneko starts shaking in fear again. Seeing her get scared he quickly says. "Im not going to hurt you. Um, oh, you know the other devils Sona and Rias?" Hearing her kings name she nods still shaking, scared. Issei continues. "I am actually a friend of theirs. I hadnt seen them for a while and Rias doesnt know Im here and I plan on surprising her but Sona knows so you can ask her about me." He said this very quickly to try and comfort the girl but he can see that she is still suspicious.
He sighed. "If you'd like I can leave and we can just pretend this didnt happen. Oh but dont tell Rias about me or it will ruin the surprise." As he was about to leave Koneko stopped him. "Its ok, you can stay." She said this while blushing a bit. Issei nods and sits down to eat lunch. They didnt say another word after that and just ate lunch in silence. Once the bell rang they said their goodbyes and went back to class.
All throughout the classes Issei was bored. Its not that he disliked the classes but he already knew everything they were teaching. With it being over he was happy since he could finally go to surprise Rias. Thinking about this he starts heading towards the old school building where he knows she at for her "club activities". She had created the Occult Research Club as a cover for her peerages devil activities of forming contracts with humans much like Sona with the Student Council.
It didnt take long for him to reach the ORC(Occult Research Club) building. After getting close enough he found that there were enchantments to keep normal humans from getting close. Of course this did nothing to Issei as he just kept on his path. Once he was within 100 fett of the building the sensed that Sona and her queen were present in the building. 'Sona must want to see how I am going to surprise Rias.' He thought as he released his aura once again like he did with Sona and her peerage.
After doing so he could sense that they had felt him and went on guard. Smiling he walks to the opening it walking at a slow pace through the building until he reached the door with all but one of the signatures in the building. That last one mist be the sealed piece of Rias that he had heard about from the information his parents gave him. He knocks on the door a couple times, then waits there until he hears a low voice. "Y-you may enter." He opens the door and walks in.
When he enters he sees that Sona and her queen were indeed there as well as Rias and her peerage. This included his friend Rias of course, a boy that looked ready to attack at any second, a black haired girl that seems to be blushing for some reason(she is blushing because of the aura that Issei is releasing), and the last one is the white haired girl that he met on the roof during lunch. As soon as he entered Rias didnt waste any time with pleasantries.
"What can we do for you?" She asks still looking rather nervous. Issei just looked at her before turning to Sona. "It seems youre not the only one that forgot me." Sona just glares at him causing an involantary shiver to run down his back. He turns back to see that Rias has a very confused face so he decides to finally answer her. "I came to keep a promise I made to a friend a long time ago. That peomise was to save her from her arranged marriage." After say this he just watches as Rias starts to realise who he was.
"A-are you really..." She starts to tear up begore she bolt from across the room straight into his chest knocking him over. This was nostalgic to him as she would do this quiet alot when they were younger. He starts to laugh while patting her back to comfort her. "I promised that I would come back to save you once I was strong enough. Why, did you think I was lying and just ran away?" She stayed silent burried in his chest until she finally spoke. "N-no, I knew you would come back to save me. I had complete faith in you."
Rias's peerage were so confused, they didnt understand what was going on. Her queen was the first one to speak. "President, I take that you know this boy." This broke Rias from her daze as she jumps back up blushing finally realizing that she was pretty much stradling Issei. "Y-yes, this is Issei. He saved both me and Sona from kidnappers when we were younger. We then became really good friends after that." Kiba was wondering about something that was though. "But what does he mean by save his friend, which Im assuming is you, from and arranged marriage?" Rias froze hearing this realising the news got out. "Dont you know? Rias has an arranged marriage with another devil. He is apart of another pure-blooded family. So she is being forced to marry him, although it doesnt matter any more since Im going to be stopping it."
"No, he didnt know. The only ones that did were you, Akeno, and Sona." Said Rias answering the question for Kiba. Both Kiba and Koneko look offended that they were the only ones that didnt know about this. Though they drop it once they think about it. Its not like they could do anything about it since this was about he marriage of high class devils and they were only low class ones and Rias probably just didnt was to wory them.
After introducing each of her peerage members to Issei. Issei stayed there for a couple hours until it was getting late so he exused himself. Rias though didnt let him go until he promised to join the ORC. Of course he said he would only join with a couple conditions. They were that as long as he does not have to join her peerage and that he would not be required to attend every meeting they have as he might have some other things to do. Rias looked upset at the first condition but relented in the end not wanting to push her friend away after finally reuniting with him.
Issei was on his way home when he was crossing a bridge that a black haired girl called out to him. "U-um, your name is Issei right?" Issei turns to her before nodding. "Would you please be my boyfriend!?" She pretty much yells beforebowing her head.
