Chapter 3
This story is based on another story called Dragon wings by Susfi
Other than Issei giving his wings instead of arm to Ddraig and becoming a full dragon this will be
different.
If you haven't read the updated version of chapter 2 please go back and read it, I've changed a little of it.
Chapter 3
Rias pov
She felt totally numb. The day had started out so great, she dreamed of beautiful red headed green eyed children with a man she loved. . . .One she chose to marry. After she woke up she had a great hearty breakfast with most of her peerage, Issei hadn't come down but that was not uncommon he sometimes trained a little too long. But then she grew worried, he usually was back in time for at least the tail end of breakfast. She didn't want him to exhaust himself right before the rating game so she went to his usual training area, when she didn't find him or even a sign of him she asked her rook to use her sensitive nose to find him for her. To Rias's surprise koneko hadn't guided her outdoors but inside and to his room. When she opened the door they found Issei still asleep (if you could call it that), the bed was soaked through with his own sweat and his entire body was bleach white. She had immediately called Asia.
Sweet little Asia had practically cried at seeing her secret crush in such a condition. She had spent an hour trying to heal him, from her sacred gear 'twilight healing' to the supplementary spells she had learned. she had kept trying even after Rias had told her to stop in order to conserve her strength. Rias had known it was pointless to try to stop the girl but she had to try. Asia was well on her way to slipping into unconsciousness before Rias had softly pulled her away, the tears did come then.
Issei's condition showed no signs of improving
"What did your brother say" Akeno asked.
When Issei hadn't gotten better she had sent a message to her brother Sirzechs Lucifer ne (male version nee – aka maiden name) Gremory in hopes that something could be done. She had hoped that at least he could send an experienced healer/doctor, and at most to delay the Rating game. Unfortunately with all the finagling he had done in order to get her a full month of training his hands were tied. Technically Ajuka Beelzebub had been the one to request the month long delay in order for him to attend but this fooled nobody and when Sirzechz had reported that a member of his little sister's peerage would be unable to participate the phenex clan had called foul. Sirzechs had been force by politics to carry on with the game, if Rias didn't have a full stable of servants then that was her fault. He had even been barred from supplying Rias with any replacements or a healer/doctor to get Issei back into a fighting condition.
"We're to continue anyways. My own father sided with Lord Phenex" Rias said, "Hell's are they so insistent that I marry Riser that they would let one of my precious servants die" she finished.
"Do you think that they did this?" Akeno asked. Rias didn't even have to look at her to know she doubted it, her parents might have forced her to marry a molester but they did still love her and wouldn't hurt her by killing her servants.
"No their just woefully ignorant of Riser's true character. You have to give Riser credit, he may be an ass hole but he is a genius at politics." She said.
Rias hadn't left the side of Issei's bed since she had found him, hoping for any sign of improvement. If not for his chest rising and falling he would have look truly dead, Issei had been completely still and deathly silent. She hadn't even moved when Grayfia, Sirzechs's queen, wife and now Rating game proctor, had arrived to deliver Sirzechs terrible message. She could still sense her downstairs, not that she made any attempt to hide herself.
The entire peerage had come to visit at some point throughout the afternoon. First was predictably Asia who cried next to Issei and when Koneko came she quietly guided the former nun out. Rias was probably the only one who heard Koneko's whisper "get better, stupid pervert" under her breath. Kiba of course came soon after, she didn't know what had happened to make her male servants so close already but Kiba had seemed to treat Issei like a brother (SPOILER ALERT – I know that Issei and Kiba don't make that pact until in and around the holy sword/Kokabiel arc but I plan to have Issei doing something else for bits of that so to keep Kiba kinda doing the same thing as cannon I made them grow close from the abandoned church battle and the training month – SPOILER ALERT). Akeno had been the final member to visit and had stayed at Rias's side since, clearly the was nothing she could do for Issei and had stayed as emotional support for Rias.
There was a quiet knock on the door. Akeno went to check who it was but Rias already knew who it was.
"Miss Gremory" Garyfia said, ever the dutiful maid. "I apologize but the Rating game will start within the hour, you must be at the starting location soon"
Rias raiser her head to look out the window, surprised her devil senses hadn't alerted her to the sun's dwindling light. Nevertheless Rias didn't speak. Grayfia understood her reason and knew the hopelessness of battling an experienced high class devil without a key member but Rias had to participate, her husband and king did have contingency plans and the Rating game was part of those.
"Servants (real butler and maid type) of the Gremory house will arrive only after you leave. He will be watched and cared for until the end of the match, afterwards he will be transported to the hospital in hell." She said.
Rias finally stood up and left with Akeno in tow and Grayfia leading. She collected the rest of her peerage on the way to the transportation circle drawn in preparation the day before. After the light from teleporting died down she sat down in her plush office chair, the ORC club room had been selected as her peerage's waiting area. She felt a brief bout of anger surge threw her at how Issei had abandoned her and the promises he made to her of their victory but she knew he would never do such a thing. Issei was too pure, although pervy, and devoted to her and to think such a thing left a sour taste in her mouth.
The glow of the whole room signaled that the Rating game was about to start. As she felt magic transport her and her peerage to the mini dimension that was to be her battle field she finally spoke, but so quite as to be un-hearable
"So begins the rape of my freedom"
Issei's mindscape
Issei pov
Issei realized where he was, this was the place he had first met Ddraig in person, at least he had a body this time.
"Hello Ddraig . . . . Where are you buddy . . . " he called out.
"Gsshssssssss" he heard, it didn't seem to be real words but it at least gave him a direction to look for the dragon.
Issei began to head in the direction that the noice came from. His mindscape was still mostly a giant mass of fog but at least there seemed to be a floor now, or maybe there always was a floor and with his leg-less form he just wasn't able to feel it. After what felt like an hour of walking he eventually found Ddraig kind of just floating in the fog, he too had a real form and in any other circumstance Issei would have certainly been impressed by it. He had an upright almost human shaped form fully covered in crimson scales and bulging with muscles. Issei couldn't tell the real size of his wings but they were large with dark tan webbing, the only break in the other wise crimson coloring were spikes that seemed to be actually made of some kind of golden metal and the large green gems in and around his chest. But this impressive form diminished by him being in a kind of fetal position with his wings covering much of his arms and chest.
"Hey Ddraig what's going on. . . . Did you bring me here . . . . Did something happen . . . .wait I remember. . . I was in pain . . It was just after the OPPAI hot springs, satan Buchou pressed her breasts against my chest. It felt sooooooo gooooood." Issei practically drooled thinking of those huge titties.
"GhaaaahhhhhUUUTTT-UUUPPP!!" Ddraig said
"Ddraig did you just talk. . . . Yoooo you angry lizard HEY Ddraig!!" Issei said, waving his arms and jumping about.
"Yes you irritating little morsel, would you just shut up." Ddraig said. He started to raise his head and Issei only just noticed the long-ish neck.
"Uuuhhhhgg just shut up for 1 minute" Ddraig said blinking the drowsiness from his green eyes.
"Shit that hurt. Just give me some time." Ddraig stretched a bit and then nodded.
"Yeah that kicked my ass too, Look I don't mean to treat you like it a pocket dictionary but do you know what the hell just happened" Issei asked.
"Somewhat, I don't know what is was that nearly killed you but I can tell you a little"
Ddraig started."That kiss your sexy-red layed on your forehead wasn't just a power-up, I didn't realize this before but most of your 'evil-pieces' were sealed up and she just released a few of them. . . I tried to tell you but your dumb ass was to busy staring at all those girls . . . I mean they're sexy and the nun is still cute but that white haired one is practically a child and has no assets." (Koneko fans please don't roast me) Ddraig started to monologue, Issei began to wonder if he's had as much effect on Ddraig as Ddraig has had on him. "Fuck it . . . Anyways, when she unsealed those pieces instead of adding more power or making you more of a devil they began to turn you more of a dragon." Ddraig said.
"So that's it??? All this for more of the same??" Issei said.
"YOU IMPUDENT LITTLE SH—-, DRAGONS ARE THE ULTIMATE POWER, DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THE BLESSING THIS IS!!!" Ddraig yelled.
"Ouch. . . Loud much, yes I do but what's the point of it puts us into a coma. Look at you buddy, last time you laughed at me and called me weak for days." Issei said.
"Yeeeeaaahhhh that wasn't part of the pieces, that was something else" he said
". . . . ."
". . . . . . . What your not going to interrupt me." Ddraig asked
"No." was Issei's simple reply.
"Huh I guess you can learn. . . Well anyways, that pain wasn't from your dragon/devil reincarnation. You were half way through before something started to fight back, as far as I can tell it didn't come from you or the pieces but like a cancer it grew fast . . . It latched on to whatever was left of you that was human and was corrupting it. I managed to stop it but only for so long." he said.
"So. How long do I got" Issei asked. 'Hell's to die a virgin, I truly am useless.' he thought.
"Uhhh not really long, maybe two months maybe three depends on how long my patch job lasts. Sorry hatchling, I really thought you weren't entirely useless" Ddraig said
'Shit he's talking like I'm already dead . . . Nah fuck that. I'll live, like heaven I'm dying a virgin!' He thought. (get it! Because as a devil heaven would be a devil's version of hell)
"Fuck that! I'll live even if it kills me!" He said.
"HA that's the stubbornness of a dragon, fuck it all!" Ddraig said
"So is there a way?" Issei asked.
"Not a clue!" He said "but if there is a way your best bet would be to talk to someone who has expert knowledge of dragons and the evil pieces" Ddraig said. "If it helps 'Twilight Healing' won't cause any problem!"
"Wait. How do you know that!" Issei asked
"Because while you were out that nun tried to heal you, she didn't really help with the whole 'supernatural cancer' problem but she did heal a lot of the damage caused by fighting it"
"Fuck. How long have I been out!" he asked.
"About a day and a half"
"THE RATING GAME!!!! I MISSED IT WHAT IF BUCHOU LOST!!" Issei yelled.
"She did lose. I can hear bits and pieces from here, you were still out so I'm not sure if you can too but I heard that nun crying about it."
"SHIT I GOTTA SAVE HER! I CAN'T STAND THE THOUGHT OF THAT BASTARD HURTING HER!!!" Issei yelled
"Calm down hatchling you can still save your sexy-red. You had another visitor, SirzeSh or something, he seemed to think that you'd be awake in three days. He has some sort of plan to crash sexy-reds engagement party and thinks you'll be awake in time. Your best bet would be that you wait it out and go with his plan." Ddraig finished.
"Okay . . . . . . . . . . . . . Weeeellllll what do we do in the mean time" Issei said.
"Fuck it . . wanna fight?"
"Shit I'm going to die before I wake up." Issei said when Ddraig lunged at him.
END OF CHAPTER
I hope you all like it. Don't worry it's not really 'supernatural cancer' it's something else
