High school DxD: Kyōto Royal Guard
Sorry for slow update everyone! here is chapter 2!
Announcement: Before releasing Chapter 3, I will first post chapter 2.5, which is about Youkai Royal Guard. It seems some reader is confused so I decided to do some explanation. So the next chapter, I will describe the Youkai Royal Guard organization. It's purpose, duty etc.
Announcement (2): All chapter after chapter 2.5 will come out slower than ever. The reason behind this is because I have to take SAT and IELTS test for applying for university. I deeply apologize, but I have to take care my study-plan as well.
Summary: After his childhood friend moved away. His parent decided to bring Issei to Kyōto as a vacation to raise his mood. However, his parent was instead brutally murdered in front of Issei. Alone and damage to both body and soul, Issei though he would never find any happiness forever… until he found a young girl who was about to be kidnap?
Hello everyone. As you can see, I'm still very bad at grammar, so I would like to apologize ahead if anyone is offended by my grammar. But I promised I will try to improve my grammar!

Chapter 2: Judge
Some where near Imperial palace
"Stop! That's my bread!" A man yelled as he chasing someone on the sidewalk.
"I'm sorry!" A child said.
"Get back here and pay for my bread!"
The chasing continues until child suddenly makes a right turn and running into a dead-end alley.
'Stupid brat! It is the dead end.'
He then followed into an alley.
"This the end! Now pay me for!..my.. bread..?" He expects a kid to be trapped in an alley, not an empty alley in front of him.
"Huh..wait!? what?! But-but!" The man confused.
He then screamed out his anger and cursed before stomping away. However, if he at least looks up. He would see the kid he chasing, is hanging on a balcony.
After the man left. The kid finally jumps down.
[That was a close one partner. Next time I would recommend to go for a night raid.]
"Um... I don't want to do that! I am a bad guy here enough... Stealing is bad, my mom taught me!" Issei argued.
[Well, we steal because we really need to eat to survive partner. Unless you want to dig trash again?]
"I know! I just... don't like doing this."
[...]
For the past three weeks, it was very tough for Issei. After he escaped the police chased, he continues living in some dark alley and finding for a new place to hide. He also was forced to steal food and water from some shop to survive despite his inner protest.
Right now he is eating bread that he just stole from a bakery near imperial palace.
"...I wish I could go home right now.." he stopped eating.
[Soon or later, We will have a chance to go back home partner. Soon.] Ddraig said.
Once he finished his meal, Issei walks out of an alley and heading to the area near Kyōto imperial palace.
[Oi partner. Why are we heading to palace?]
"I just want to have some walk Ddraig-San"
[..Be careful then. We don't need police chasing us again like last time.]
"I will."
As Issei walking around imperial palace.
"Mom! Mom! Let's go eat ice cream together!"
Issei stops and listening to the conversation between family.
"Okay dear, There is some ice cream shop over there!"
"Yay! I love you so much, mom!"
"I love you too."
I will always love you, Issei.
Issei stands still and closed his eyes because of his bad memories from three weeks ago, resurfaced once again.
[You alright partner..?]
"Y-yes... I just... think about mom.."
[Like I said, partner. One day, we will grow stronger enough to protect everyone you love.]
"Yes... I already promised that I will become stronger." Issei then looks at happily mother and son before turning his back as he heading toward another area.
While Issei is enjoying the views of the imperial palace, suddenly.
"Help! Oka-san! Please help me! I—mph!?"
Issei then rush ahead to see two adult and one girl in shrine maiden mike outfit.
"The fuck?! How did she wake up from drugs? Mike! What the hell!?"
"Oi-oi boss, don't you fucking dare blame me!? Those fucking royal guards are a pain in ass enough. Just knock her off or whatever."
"Fuck that, we can't carry her while she awake now. Stay here and I will go get some car or something."
"Yeah right. Let's hope you won't screw up again like finding that Hyoudou brat!" A man named mike spat
'...Me..?..They are!'
[They must be fallen angel that killed your family.. why are they kidnapping that child..]
"Shut it mike. Just stay here and don't do anything to our princess." The woman then spread her black wing and flew away.
"Che! Always boring job for me. Anyway—" the man then look at the young girl he is covering her mouth with his hand. "Don't worry princess! I promised we will have very interesting time together once we take you to our hideout! So be nice and Grrgh—?!"
The young girl bit his hand. And said
"Let me go! Do you know who I am!?"
"Ouch, that is hurt! YOU BITCH!?" He then slapped poor young girl to the floor.
"Fuck it. You bit my hand bitch! I'm going to make you pay for that!" He then holds the struggling girl on the floor before ripping out her half top away. Exposed her bra.
"N-no! Please don't!" The girl cried and begged as she covered her almost half-naked body with her arm.
"Na-ah! I will play with you as I want!"
"Anyone— please! Save me!"
Issei then remembered what happen to his mother. He couldn't hold back anymore.
[You sure partner? We are not strong right now, to be honest.]
"Yes... I-I admitted that I am still far from being strong..! But.. but I don't want her to be hurt! She.. she reminded me of my mom." A single tear dropped to the floor.
[Very well. Let's teach that fallen angel, that no-one messed with the red emperor of domination shall we!?]
"Yes! BOOST GEAR!"
[BOOST!]
Kunou is very scared right now.
She was playing in the imperial garden, protected by four trusted royal guards when suddenly two fallen angels came out of nowhere and already slaughtered two guards. The last two tried their best to protect her, but their efforts cut short as they also have fallen to the ground. Lifeless.
When she snapped out of shock, she tried to scream for help. However, the fallen angels were well prepared and drugged her so she lost consciousness.
When she woke up later, she found that she was already taken out of the imperial palace and ended up in some alley with her captors.
After the woman left her with one man. She decided to took a risk and bit her captor hand to distract him. Of course, it failed horribly and right now her half-top Miko uniform was ripped off.
'Anyone..'
'Anyone..!'
"Anyone— Please! save me!" She yelled out.
"No one will come save you, bitch. Now let's—"
"BOOST GEAR!"
[BOOST!]
Both Kunou and her captor turned their heads to found a boy standing alone.
The boy has spiky brown hair with light-brown eyes color. He wears dirty, tattered white shirt. He wears black jeans and red-white shoes.
"You! You are—!"
"DRAGON SHOT!" The boy yelled.
The green light beam was aimed at fallen angel.
Her captor immediately shoved her away and attempted to dodge the incoming beam. Lucky for him. He avoided fatal wound, however, one of his shoulders is not so lucky.
"Arghhhh! FUCK! Fuck! my shoulder…! you little fuck!" He then glared at the boy with so much hatred before spread his wings and flew at the boy.
"Go! Run now!" Kunou looked at the boy
"H-huh?"
"Please!—" He dodged the kick from a fallen angel. "Run now! I will stall him! Get out of here!" He then returns his focus to the fallen angel and both exchange their attack on each other.
Kunou immediately did what she was told. She immediately ran away from the alley and heading to the imperial palace, but she suddenly stopped.
'He sacrificed himself for me…' She glances back at where she ran from
She remembered how she could only stand and watch her guard slaughtered in front of her.
'How could I even become stronger.. when all I could do is letting every died for me..'
Kunou hated how useless herself is.
'..I'm sorry but I cannot just stand still..! Not this time!'
Kunou then ran back to where she was rescued.
Issei could consider himself in the awful situation. While he became stronger compared to himself three weeks ago. He's still weak against two wings fallen angel.
"Got you fucker!" The light spear flew toward him so he immediately sidesteps from it.
"Grr! I never though fallen angel could be this strong!"
[I already warned you partner. But you insisted.]
"I know Ddraig-san... I know but I—!"
"Take this!" Issei was caught off guard as fallen angel punch, connect to his head and sent him crashing into the wall.
"Argh!" Issei choked out some blood.
He then collapses to the floor.
"Dammit! I missed your head! welp..! never mind that~ I will fuck you up so bad brat. For my shoulder" He then grabs Issei's collar and pulled him up.
"Say hello to your parents for me, you little bitch~~" He then summons his light spear and about to stab Issei
[Partner… while our time may be short.. but I never regret to be paired with you.]
'Thank you… Ddraig-san'
Issei closed his eye and accepted his death, but the fate won't allow that yet.
"Flame of Spirit Fox!" Someone yelled out and many orbs of blue flame all flying to a fallen angel.
"Shit!" Fallen angel tried to dodge, but two of orbs hit and sent him crashed through many walls of the building.
"A-are you ok?" Issei looked up to found the same girl staring at him but what is different this time. She has a pair of fox ears and three fluffy tails out.
"Um-umm... I'm... I'm ok.. *cough cough* but.. w-who are you?" Issei asked.
The girl smiled and said. "My name is Kunou, you are..?"
"M-my name is Issei... Issei Hyoudou... Nice to meet you Kunou-chan." Issei said.
The girl name Kunou smiled before her eyes watering and start crying. Issei immediately hugged her.
"T-Thank you! *sniff sniff* I.. I thought..! I thought I was done for!" She choked out
"It's.. ok…" Issei patting Kunou back softly. " I'm glad you are safe…"
Issei continues hugging Kunou for several minutes. Later, Kunou then separate herself from Issei and gave him teary smile.
Issei then step back to have a good look at the girl he saved. But when he finally realized what happened to her half top. He immediately looks down and blushes hard.
Meanwhile, Ddraig just snorted at his partner behavior.
Kunou wonders why Issei is now looking down and refuse to look at her. She asked.
"Issei? What's wrong?"
"Y-your..!"
"Hmm? What's wrong with me..?"
"Your..! Your cloth! i-it's!" Issei pointed at her.
Kunou then looks at herself and blush hard right away. Her upper half was torn by away by that fallen angel. So basically. She has shown her almost naked body to a boy who saved her.
Kunou immediately covered herself, turned back and yelled.
"Don't look!"
"I'm not looking!"
…..
…
.
…
…..
"Here.."
Kunou looked back to see I issei hand her his shirt, unbutton.
"But, it's your shirt!"
Issei shakes his head.
"It's alright... I still have my vest shirt..but your mike was torn away..s-so cover up with my shirt."
Kunou then slowly accept his white shirt and cover her body.
"Thank you very much... Issei-kun.." Kunou smile warmly.
"Oh look at that! Flirting right in the fucking front of me!"
Both Issei and Kunou immediately jump back and looked at the direction fallen angel crashed through.
There he is. A fallen angel seem to survived Kunou's attack, but he is in the very sorry state.
Many cuts wounded and some large area skin was torn off. But the most noticeable is only one black wing remained on his back.. the other is ripped off By Kunou pure power in her attack.
"This is so fucking unbelievable… Me? A fallen angel… losing to two fucking children…! What a fucking nightmare…" He then continues mumbling to himself
""…"" Both Kunou and Issei said nothing. But Issei already starts boosting up.
[BOOST!]
[BOOST!]
[BOOST!]
[This is your limit now, partner.]
'Thanks, Ddraig-san, but I already got a plan'
"Kunou-chan.. can you use that attack again..?" Issei asked
"Yes I can, but it won't be as powerful as last time… I still didn't mastered it yet."
"Don't worry. I have a plan."
Kunou nodded and start casting an attack again.
"I, who swore to protect all life."
Fallen angel noticed the chanting, immediately summoned his light spear and start sprinting toward Kunou.
"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU BITCH!"
But before he could reach her. Issei came into his sight and punch him in the face. Hard.
Issei's punch sent fallen angel back away from Kunou.
"I won't let you hurt her!"
"In the name of the one with the spirit…"
"FUCK YOU!" Fallen angel then summoning his largest light spear he could ever summon.
"Give me your power…!"
Issei noticed that the chanting is about to come to an end. He then put his gauntlet on Kunou and said.
"TRANSFER!"
[TRANSFER!]
The green aura covers Kunou body as she finally completed the chanting.
"DIE BITCH!" He then threw his largest light spear at Kunou.
"FLAME OF SPIRIT FOX" Kunou finished the chanting.
Instead of many blue flame orbs like last time. Only single LARGE red flame orb shot toward fallen angel.
As Red flame orb and light spear collied each other. Fallen angel expected both sides attacked to cancel each other. But he was wrong. The orb completely destroyed light spear and continue flying toward him.
"No! I refused to accept this!" He yelled
"Soon I would become eight wings and enjoy my life! Not fucking die here!"
The orb almost reached him.
"I FUCKING HATE YOU ALL!"
Finally, the orb hit him and engulfed fallen angel in red flame.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIEEEE—!" was fallen angel last word.
Issei and Kunou watched the fallen angel turned into nothing but ashes.
Then both of them collapsed to the floor, panting, exhausting from fighting. They may be exhausted from fighting, but both were also very happy that they helped each other and continue living for another day.
"Neee... Issei-Kun" Kunou speak up.
"Yes... Kunou?"
"I'm glad I've met you." Kunou smiled at Issei
"…Me too." Issei smiled back.
While both of them were taking a rest together. Suddenly many footsteps sound was heard.
"Spread out! Find her highness immediately!"
"Search every block!"
"There was fighting here!"
Then two men wearing gray color uniform came into their view. Both men eyes widen and shouted.
"WE FOUND HER HIGHNESS!" Two men quickly ran toward Kunou and many more follow behind.
In few moments Kunou and Issei were surrounded by men in many color uniform. While some are human, but most of the guard is youkai, range from nekoshou to some kitsune.
"Are you alright your highness?!"
"Kunou-sama, We deeply apologize!"
"Set up defense perimeter! And someone goes inform Yasaka-sama immediately!"'
As the royal guard surrounded both child and stand guard. Guard in red uniform noticed the boy sitting near Kunou, so he asked.
"Pardon me, Kunou-sama"
"Yes?"
"Who is this boy?" The kitsune guard pointed at Issei.
"Ah. He…saved me from fallen angel.."Kunou replied with small blush and smile.
"I see... " The kitsune guard acknowledged and turn to face Issei
"Young man.. I as the Kyōto royal guard, are grateful for your sacrifice for Kunou-sama," The kitsune said as he bowed to Issei.
"It's alright! Y-you don't need to bow to me!"
As the conversation continued between the kitsune and Issei. One of guard noticed who arrived at the screen, immediately kneel down and shout.
"Yasaka-sama has arrived!" and every royal guard immediately kneels down.
Issei turns to see a woman in the purple overcoat with many golden jewels decorated on shoulder and chest area. Inside is black undershirt with many golden stripes. She also has fox ear like other people around her, but the most noticeable difference is her nine fox tails.
"No need for formality at the moment, please be at ease." Woman name Yasaka said.
She then shifts her focus to Issei as he standing next to teary Kunou.
"O-oka... Oka-san!" Kunou cried out as she runs to her mother.
"Kunou..." Yasak embraces her daughter.
"Oka-san! Oka-san!" Kunou sobbing
"I'm sorry Kunou..." Yasaka told her daughter.
Issei, who is watching couldn't help but smile at reunion mother-daughter. He is glad that he found Kunou or else another tragedy would occur. He doesn't want anyone else to lose their family... like him.
Yasaka finally backs off from her daughter as she looks up to Issei and gave him smile.
"Thank you, young child. If you didn't save my daughter. I..wounldn't be able to bear with grief from losing her."
"It's alright ma-ma'am!" Issei said
Yasaka chuckle at Issei word.
"Young child.. may I ask, what is your name...?"
Ddraig who stay silent since youkai has arrived went on alert immediately.
[Partner, don't tell your name. You're still considered as-!] But he was too late.
"M-My name is Issei!, Hyoudou Issei!"
Everything was blurred for Issei. The moment he told them his name, next thing he knew he already got pinned down to the ground as many guard form defensive circle surrounded Kunou and Yasaka. Issei instinct now taking action as he struggling to escape from several guards pinning him down. Unseen to Issei, Yasaka already came forward and kneels down in front of him.
"Sleep." Her finger moved forward and pressed on the pressure points on Issei's neck. Issei gasped.
As Issei's view is slowly blacking out. He heard Kunou cried his name before everything went dark for him.
Somewhere in Kyōto
Issei bolts up from his slumber.
"Ha..ha..*panting*.. W-where am I..?" He tried to move his hand to found that his hand was cuffed with several chains-implanted with many gems. He tried to break it but nothing happens.
Issei decided to look around him. He found that he was locked in some prison. There is a small window, allowing light from outside to shine in, but it was too high for him to climb up.
While Issei exploring his cell. Suddenly the room door began unlocking. When the door opened. The same red uniform guard he met, step inside.
"Um- I-"
"Silence." His sound tone is cold as ice.
"..!.."
"You will not talk unless allowed to. You will follow me all the time. Any attempting to escape will result in Death only. Understood?" The kindness voice Issei knew was replaced by authority one.
Issei quickly nodded and immediately followed the red guard. When he came out of his cell, he was immediately surrounded by many guard, mostly black and white uniform one.
"Steady. Forward... March!" The red guard in front said.
As they are forward. Issei noticed that he was possibly inside Kyōto imperial palace area. But the building around him and the corridor they are moving suggested that this area is bigger than what he saw on traveling map of the imperial palace.
They finally stop in front of the shrine-like building.
"Step inside. You will accompany by two guards." The guard said.
"Y-yes." He then moved forward, flanking both sides by two white uniform guard.
When he stepped inside. He was surrounded by many people, human, and youkai. But in front of him is Kunou's mother sitting on a throne, watching him every step.
As he finally came stop in the middle of the room, one of the guard accompanyings said.
"Yasaka-sama, We have arrived with Issei Hyoudou as per your order."
Yasaka nodded and said.
"Well done. Both of you are dismissed."
Both guards bowed their head and quickly left the room, leaving Issei to stand alone.
"To all council members," Yasaka spoke up." Let the meeting begin." Everyone nodded.
The meeting starts off with the first topic of the kidnapping incident. Some said that Youkai faction must strike back the fallen angel for their foolish action which might lead to the start of another great war. While others argued that using force is not the best choice. As the argument continuing, Issei could only stand still in the middle of the room. Issei himself isn't daring enough to start speaking.
A few hours later, the meeting seems to far away from being finish. Issei's leg is very sore but he was forced to keep standing by the stares from all guard inside the room. He knew that if he did something without permission, all guards in the room would come to him with full force.
"-As for the fallen angel who was responsible for the daring attack, it was confirmed that he was eliminated by my daughter and the boy, Issei Hyoudou," Yasaka said as she looked toward Issei.
"Yes Yasaka-sama, for the last one, 1st Intelligence Division has reported that she was last seen near Kyōto station. However, our guard was able to intercept and forced her to stay hidden in the city for time being, your highness" One of council member said.
Yasaka nodded "Very well. I wish best of luck in capturing the last culprit. Now let's talk about our main topic for this meeting, Issei Hyoudou." Then all eyes turned to Issei, who is standing alone in the middle of the room.
Issei was nervous right now.
"Ye-yes..?" He said.
"Issei Hyoudou, why are you here in Kyōto?" One of the councils said.
"I-I came he-here for vacation with my par- ...parents." He replied.
"What is your purpose for getting close with Kunou-sama?" Another councilman asked
"Huh..?" Issei doesn't understand. "W-what do you mean..?"
"It seems... fishy.. for you to suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rescue Kunou-sama. What is your real intention, Child."
"I have none!... I was walking when I heard her cry for help!"
"Nonsense! Did you took us as fools?! You murdered your own parents and now you are trying to get close to her highness! Don't you dare!?" The same man shouted with fury.
"But I didn't kill my mom and dad!" Issei argued
"Then explained the footage in news!"
"The fallen angel did it! Th-they framed me!"
"You filthy vermin! First, you killed your own parents and now you are coming for our princess! How could you... How could you-!"
"Calm down..." Yasaka spoke with authority. Once she got everyone attention, she continues.
"Everyone, we have gone too far... don't let your emotions take control of you."
"Chee-! Yasaka-sama, but this demon child... if we don't do something I'm afraid for her highness, Kunou-sama. I bet he would end up killing her in cold blood! Look at what he did to his own mother!"
Issei emotion starts raging once he heard what councilman insulted him. He can't take it anymore!
"Councilman that is too fa-" But Yasaka was interrupted by Issei.
"I. DID. NOT. KILL. MY. PARENTS!" Issei shouted with hated and fury as he lunged forward. All councilmen were back away from their seat, shouting for guards. Guards immediately rushing forward with weapon drawn, ready to strike Issei down.
Before the situation could escalating furthermore, Yasaka decided to stop it all.
"Everyone... SILENCE." This time everyone stops what they were doing.
"All of the councilmen... please return to your seat. Guards, back to your post."
"But-!"
"No, but. Councilman." Yasaka glare at him.
"Ye-yes, Yasaka-sama." He meekly nodded and quickly return to his seat.
"Since we have gone too far... I will now conclude this meeting now." Yasaka said in a serious tone. She then looks at Issei.
"Issei Hyoudou... As much as I want to believe in your claim. I cannot accept your answer without any significant evidence to counter any accusation." She then looks at all councilmen.
"Councilmen. The time has come. I shall put up a poll. We either erase his memory about us and return him to human or we return him to our cell and continue to investigate his claim. What is your choice?"
All councilmen look at each other before voting for Issei's fate. When the vote came out, Issei gasped.
Almost entire council voted for his memory to be erased and give him to the police.
"...Very well, then I shall begin now." Yasaka said as she stepped off her throne and slowly walking to dumbfound Issei.
As she stopped in front of Issei, she could see him shaking in fear.
"Issei-kun..." She spoke in a low voice.
Issei snapped out of his fear and now looking at her.
"Y-yes..?"
"I'm promised it will not hurt at all. You will merely just fall sleep."
"Bu-but!"
Yasaka shakes her head.
"I'm sorry. But I am very grateful for saving my daughter." She then steps back as she starts chanting a memory-erasing spell.
'I-I'm sorry.. Kunou. I'm glad I've met you.'
But before Yasaka could finish chanting. Someone interfered by slamming the door open, drawing everyone attention.
"Oka-san! STOP!"
Earlier.
As soon as she was escorted to her room, Kunou immediately slipped away from her room. She quickly heading toward the shrine, where the meeting was being held. The reason for going there is not the meeting itself, nor it is her mother. The sole reason for her to do everything to reach there is-
Issei.
The boy who saved her.
Issei.
The boy she owned her life to.
Issei.
The first friend she has ever met.
She did not want to lose another friend again. With her status as the princess of youkai faction, it prevented her from making friends. But not this time. She will defy her own status as a princess for him, Issei. She will not lose another friend again. Not this time, fate. Not this time.
As she arrived, she entered the building through the back door, slowly approaching the meeting room, she can already hear the heated argument coming out.
"What is your purpose for getting close with Kunou-sama.?"
"Huh..? W-what do you mean..?"
"It seems... fishy.. for you to suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rescue Kunou-sama. What is your real intention, Child."
"I have none!... I was walking when I heard her cry for help!"
Nonsense! Did you took us as fools?! You murdered your own parents and now you are trying to get close to her highness! Don't you dare!?"
Kunou gasped. 'Issei... lose his parents...? No, h-he murdered his own parents?!' Kunou could not believe that such kind boy like Issei would murder his own parents.
"But I didn't kill my mom and dad!"
"Then explained the footage in news!"
"The fallen angel did it! Th-they framed me!"
'Fallen angel!' She thinks about her kidnapper
"You filthy vermin! First, you killed your own parents and now you are coming for our princess! How could you... How could you-!"
"Calm down..." Kunou knew that sound very well. It's her mother voice when she needs to control something.
"Everyone, we have gone too far... don't let your emotions take control of you."
"Chee-! Yasaka-sama, but this demon child... if we don't do something I'm afraid for her highness, Kunou-sama. I bet he would end up killing her in cold blood! Look at what he did to his own mother!"
"Councilman that is too fa-"
"I. DID. NOT. KILL. MY. PARENTS!". Issei shouted made Kunou jumped by surprise.
As the shouting continues. Kunou starts thinking about how Issei's parents were murdered. While the councilmen accused Issei. Kunou though about how Issei's parent was murdered by the fallen angel, based on Issei exclaimed and how herself almost got kidnapped away. All two cases committed by the fallen angel. Something is very wrong here. It seems like it was carefully planned.
When Kunou snapped out of her own though she continues listening to the meeting only to find out that-
"Councilmen. The time has come. I shall put up a poll. We either erase his memory about us and return him to human or we return him to our cell and continue to investigate his claim. What is your choice?"
No.
No... No!
Oh NO NO NO PLEASE NO!
Kunou start panicking
She then heard Issei's gasped as her mother continue speaking.
"...Very well, then I shall begin now."
Kunou peaked through the gap of a door, watching as her mother slowly approaching Issei.
Issei
The boy who saved her.
The boy she owned her life to.
The first friend she has ever met.
Kunou will never allow Issei's memory to be wiped out. She will not stand for this. After all, Issei is her friend and she will not lose him.
Kunou then quickly slammed the door open and shout with all of her might-
"Oka-san! STOP!"
"Oka-san! STOP!"
Yasaka stopped chanting and turned to see her daughter standing in front of a door, panting.
"Kunou.."
"Oka-san please don't! Issei, He is a good person!"
"Kunou, I understand, but he is-"
"No! He saved my life!, He...! He is my first friend for the first time in many years!"
Yasaka eyes soften, but.
"Who the hell let her highness in here?!" One of the councilmen stood up.
"Guards, please escort hime-sama from that child now! He could have hurt her!"
"Why did her Highness come here?!"
As everyone shouting over Kunou's action. The guard preparing for the order. The unexpected guest finally awake after the long(?) sleeping.
[SILENCE YOU FOOLS!] The loud voice cause everyone to stop what they were doing.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Oh, kami-sama...Please tell me that is not what I'm thinking it is." One of the royal guards spoke out, shaking in fear.
[Yes. I am what you are thinking of.] Then Boost Gear gauntlet appeared on Issei's left arm.
[BOOST!]
"...!..." Everyone was shocked that the kid in front of them is actually a current generation Sekiryuutei!
"Ddraig-san! Thank god you finally wake up!" Issei shouted with joy.
[Yeah yeah. Sorry partner, so what is going on here.]
"They-!" Issei turns to the group of council members. "They want my memory erased and hand me t-to the police!"
[Hmph! Such ungraceful. After we saved their princess, is this how they repay us? the Red Dragon Emperor?!]
"Welsh Dragon! How could you sided with that child! He murdered his own parents!" One brave councilman exclaimed
[FOOLS, My host DID NOT MURDER HIS PARENTS.]
"Red dragon emperor..." Everyone turned to see Youkai faction leader, Yasaka spoke up.
[What is it, Fox?]
"You claimed that your host did not murder his parent, How can we trust you? You could just lie because you are sided with... your host?"
[You are doubting my word?]
Yasaka glanced at councilmen behind her, as much as she wants to speak freely. She must not cause a political crisis among youkai faction right now.
"Yes."
[...Very well. Partner put your left hand forward.]
Issei nodded and put his left hand forward.
[Thank you. Now you all want to know why I am siding with my host? I will show you all the proof! MEMORY!]
[MEMORY!]
Then the light shines out from the green orb in the gauntlet, projecting a large screen in the middle of the meeting room.
Issei's eye widens at what he is looking at.
'T-that! that is!'
[Yes, it is your memory, or what you have seen. I brought out your memory for proving your innocence.]
Issei understands why Ddraig-san did this, but he never wants to see...that haunted screen again. So he closed his eyes and just listening to everything around him.
As all council members, men, woman, and Yasaka watching what truly happen. Some did pity what happened to the boy, while some still continue doubting.
Yasaka feels bad for what she almost did to the young boy. Losing his family and was accused of committing the...horrible thing he did not do. She already starts planning how to help the poor boy.
For Kunou, her mind is blank when she saw what happen to Issei's parents. She doesn't know how would she fare if the same thing happens to her mother. She swore she will not find out about it. When she glanced at Issei. She noticed how her friend starts shaking. Kunou slowly walking to him and comfort him. Issei flinched when Kunou touched him.
"It's okay... Issei-kun" Kunou said in sad voice.
"..." Issei said nothing but nodded and relax in her comfort.
As memory showing to everyone come to an end. Ddraig spoke up again.
[This is my host memory. What he experienced and felt is real. I will not forgive anyone who dares continue insulting my partner.] Ddraig threated.
"Very well. All Council members." Yasaka spoke again. "We have seen the new evidence provided by Red Dragon Emperor himself. Anyone still wishes to object to the evidence?"
Now enlighted, many shook their head, approving of the new evidence. But some still show no approving or disapproving.
As the situation is now back to normal. All council members returning to their seat. Yasaka decided to finally end this meeting for good.
"We all have witnessed the evidence that Issei Hyoudou, is not guilty of the crime he did not commit. But-" She narrowed her eyes " It was yet again the work of the fallen angel. infesting inside our land, bring death to an innocent human. Causing endless pain and sorrow." She looked at Issei, comforting by her daughter. "Captain."
"Yes, your highness?" One of red uniform guard replied.
"Release Issei Hyoudou, the innocent child did not deserve such treatment."
"Yes, your highness!" He bowed and quickly walk to Issei.
Kunou seeing the guard coming to release her friend. She slowly pried herself from Issei and stepped to the side.
The guard quickly pulled out the key and insert into one of the gems inside Issei handcuff. Once he turns the key, the handcuff now unlocked, fall to the floor.
Yasaka then continue. "Guards, please escort my daughter and Issei Hyoudou to my room, We will continue the meeting for minutes."
The guards saluted and escorting Issei and Kunou out of meeting room. Once both Issei and Kunou gone from the meeting room, one of councilman spoke.
"Yasaka-sama, I have a question about young man fate."
"What is it, councilman?"
"Issei Hyoudou is shown to be decent fighter despite his age and the fact he possed the 'Boost Gear' one of thirteen Longinus. Not to mention that he might already know about the supernatural. What should we do with him?" The councilman already knew what will happen, but he still questions it for the sake of meeting.
Yasaka knowing what councilman ask, She gave him smile before replying,
"Issei Hyoudou will join us as-"
"Youkai Royal Guard"
Sewer tunnel, Kyōto
"Fuck... FUCK!"
She screwed up. Again. Kokabiel will have her head for that!
Marina was hiding from Youkai Royal guard that still continue hunting her. She was just barely escaped from one of their special force raided. All of her safe house is compromised. Right now, she continues to run and hide, changing her hideout from one sewer to another one. She couldn't teleport away because of the damn royal guard set up an anti-magic barrier. She can still summon light spear and that's it. Everything else is failed to be summoned or use.
As she continues walking. Suddenly in front of her, a large magic circle appeared.
'Impossible! H-how did someone broke through the anti-magic barrier! Unless-!'
"Marina. Where. is. Yasaka. daughter?"
In front of Marina, is her supreme commanding officer, Kokabiel with all of his ten wings spread out. Next to Kokabiel is suppose to be her under command, Sebas.
"Kokabiel-sama!" Marina bowed.
"Ah. Good day to you Marina." Kokabiel greeted back "Fancy seeing you here. I personally came to this... filthy land to get the child! Now, where is Yasaka daughter...? You must have already got her. RIGHT?"
"Ko-Kokabiel-sama-!"Marina's voice shook, "I-I failed...!" She starts sobbing.
"..." Kokabiel said nothing but mention Sebas to go to Marina.
"Marina," Kokabiel spoke again.
"Y-yes..?"
"It's okay. I forgive you."
...
..
.
..
...
"You- fo forgive me, sir?"
"Yes, Marina. We can try again later. You may fail to finish your mission, but it is fine. There is another chance. Now get up and let Sebas... escort you to safety."
Marina, filled with joy quickly stand up, but-
"Oh one more thing, Marina" Marina turn to face Kokabiel.
"Yes, Kokabiel-sama?"
"You may fail to finish your mission. But Sebas did not fail his mission."
"What do you-"
Marina felt cold. She is not sure what happened, but everything suddenly felt cold. By her instinct, she looks down to see two light spears, tore through her chest. Her tear already coming out as she slowly turned her head to Sebas, begging for the reason behind this. Sebas seeing the pleaded. He answers-
"I must complete my mission, Marina."
What does it mean? She-
'But Sebas did not fail his mission'
Marina finally got it. She got it. Ironically, she remembered as the kid, Villian will always realize their mistake when they are about to die. She thought it was stupid, but now, it seems she was stupid all the time. As she slowly collapses to the floor, staring at the ceiling and slowly bleeding out to death.
Maybe...
Just maybe...
If sh-she completed h-her mission.
K-kokabiel...sama m...might approved.. of her...
M..aybe..if she...never accept this mission..from start...
she might be..still alive...
ju...
..
st..
maybe...
and Marina world turns dark... Forever.
"Mission accomplished, Kokabiel-sama" Sebas bowed.
"Good work Sebas, my servant. I really never expect this mission to complete. It was suicide from the start anyway." Kokabiel spoke playfully.
"Since your mission as overseer is finished, it is time to release your seal." Kokabiel then grabbed the necklace from Sebas and tore it apart.
The light suddenly engulfs Sebas and slowly disappeared away in seconds.
"My servant, spread your wing for me" Kokabiel ordered.
"Yes, Kokabiel-sama" He then spread out his eight dark wings.
"Very good. Let's head back now. My plan will not fail and..." Kokabiel then chanting his teleport magic and both him and his servant disappeared away, leaving the corpse behind.
"And I will make sure the world will be consumed in the war for once again."
Upcoming next is Chapter 2.5
Thank you for reading. My grammar is still bad and I added something new.
Now many people might say 'Hey! it is not mentioned/existed in Highschool DxD!'
Yes. it does not exist in DxD but think about it carefully. For supernatural being, I believed that they should be able to do more than just simple light spear or else. Sealing power. Forged video etc. and this is fanfiction. So some elements of DxD might have change for the story.
Anyway. Thank you for reading once again.
