hey guys just wanted to say thanks for all the support and sorry for the long delay. don't forget to check the author notes at the bottomIt was several hours later when Ise looked at Shi-Shi again. "We should probably head back, Tannin would want us to train as much as possible." He said, his voice hoarse.
"No, you need to rest." Came the reply, more a demand then a request.
Ise stood tall. "No. I have people who depend on me. I need to get stronger so I can protect them. So I have to go train… I have to figure out what this new form is and how to use it." His reply was firm. He looked down at Shi-Shi. "Let's go." He said, before entering Balance Breaker, but there was a problem.
The armor looked warped, with spikes coming all over and the color looking a much darker color then before. Ise didnt notice at first, until he saw the look in Shi-Shi'a eyes. He looked at himself.
"What the Fuck happened?" Was the question he asked before once again passing out.
Ddraig spoke to him in his dream. 'It appears there is a problem partner… your emotional state seems to be on the collapse. Your emotions are tainting the Boosted Gear, and it has no idea how to respond.''What do you mean by my emotional state? I'm fine.' Ise snarled.'That, partner. You're angry and irrational. The question is why? And I do believe I know the answer' Ddraig spoke with a calm voice, contrary to Ise's tone.'I'm fine! There's nothing wrong with me!' Ise insisted."Do you hear yourself? The power of Domination inside the Boosted Gear has begun to taint your mind.''What do you mean?" Ise asked.'I am known as the Dragon who has stolen the principles of Domination from God. However what many don't understand is I literally stole the Principles of Domination. The reason we were so powerful is we stole something from the Christian God, otherwise he would never have attempted to seal us, we would have been below his notice. I stole the Principles of Domination and Albion the Principles of Supremacy. This is why we are known as the HEavenly Dragons, because we stole our power from the Heavens themselves.''What does any of this have to do with me?' Ise snarled impatiently.'No user has ever utilized this much of my power, and I fear one side effect is you have unlocked the power of Domination, but it is incomplete. It has begun to taint your mind, enhancing your negative emotions, and I fear it is your own fault. You forced the Boosted Gear to evolve when it was not quite ready and as a result it forced an incomplete change with all the negative aspects of domination. Hence the twisted state of the armor. It is currently fueled by your negative emotions and as a result has become a twisted copy of what it could be. However, there is a light in the dark. Or rather, two.'Ise felt true fear at Ddraig's words. But he had to ask. "The first good news?"'If you are able to properly harness the power of Domination you will have the potential to become just as powerful as the Christian God once was.'"And the other good news?''There is something that appears to calm down the power of Domination within you… or rather, someONE.' Spoke the great dragon.'Wha- what are you saying?' Ise spoke, panicked.'The Nekoshou, the one who you call Shi-Shi, she calms the raging power within you… which is why the Boosted Gear failed. It didnt have enough negative emotion to work, or rather, the negative emotion was simply overpowered by something else. To put it simply-'Ise froze. 'Don't say it.'Ddraig continued as if he had never been interrupted. 'You're in love with that kitty.' He laughed, a true laugh, the first in years for the dragon.
He woke up to warmth, and for a second was confused. "What's going on? I haven't felt this comfortable since…" he trailed off when the person he was holding, sneezed softly. "Shi… oh jeez you're cold." He whispered. He moved to shift his hand but she grabbed his hand and held it where it was, when he suddenly realized just where said hand was. 'Well that's unfortunate.' He smirked, before releasing her breast. She mewled in her sleep before going silent except for her breath. Ise smiled. "Fine, one day more of rest won't kill us… I hope." He whispered again, before once more lifting his hand, successfully this time. He concentrated and summoned a small lick of flame, which was then lightly tossed on the sticks which it looked like his Shi had gathered.
Wait.
His Shi? Yeah they were close, but not that close, right?
Or were they? She was sleeping in his arms right now, and they had shared some pretty close moments…
And Ddraig had said that he loved her, hadn't he?
Ise shook his head.
'No, i dont want her to get hurt.'
"Don't even think about it, mister. You are not leaving me. I don't care how much you think you're putting me in danger. I don't care. The only one I care about is you. Not Rias, Not Akeno or Xenovia, or anyone else. It's you. Because I know that you can protect me and love me forever. And because even if you don't, you will still always be the most important to me. So if you're gonna leave, don't do it because you're afraid. Don't leave because you're scared I'll die or get hurt. Because I'm willing to risk all of that so much more just to stand by your side."
Ise was speechless. Here he was thinking she was asleep, and instead she was just planning how to let him know how she felt!
"But I can't"
He was abruptly cut short. Then he sighed.
Because finally his Shi had her lips locked around his.
And as much as he wanted to resist, his body put forth effort only into deepening that wonderful kiss.
For the first time in years he felt alive.
And he was going to enjoy every. Single. Second.
When they finally broke apart, Ise smiled. Literally smiled. Shi-Shi was blown away by the potency of it. It made her smile too. She smiled and then began to laugh. It was beautiful, and harmonized with Ise's loud, ringing laugh. Soon their glade was filled with beautiful ringing laughter, a sound more powerful than a thousand angels. The joy they both felt was amazing.
Ise was in heaven. Here was the girl who healed him when he was broken, the girl who was supposed to hate him, and the girl he had fallen head over heels with(whether he realized it or not) had kissed him, the broken emotional basket case with parental issues and an inferiority complex and a dead wife. (Even if it was a shotgun wedding it was good enough for them at the time.)
Then they heard a rustling in the bushes.
hey guys just wanted to say thanks again and props to the user who said that the new evolution was messing with Ise's emotional state. so I designed it kind of like the original super saiyan design..more powerful with the only drawbacks being strength consumption and enhancing your rage.
as always dont forget to like and comment and don't forget to pm me if you have any suggestions for the story seeing as how I've already changed the original version so many times lmao
