Today seemed to be a normal day for the peerage of Rias Gremory, they were at school and had just finished a class and had broken up to go get lunch, Koneko using her small size and agility to get past a number of people to be served, collecting her food and heading back to the class to eat. As she approached her classroom, she saw three boys, they were far larger than her and by her observations they were in the same year as Rias. As she walked past the boys one of them made a catcall as she walked past but she didn't respect the action with a response.

"Whoa check you out, Your Koneko right?" One of the boys bellowed, stopping Koneko in her tracks.

"Yeah and who wants to know?" Koneko groaned angered by the question.

"Oh well, I'm Botan Takashi and me and my friends have had out eye on you for quite a while and we just wanted to talk." Botan cheekily grinned, as his two friends circled round Koneko. Botan, was large, in size, when compared to his companions, he was around 6 feet tall and had a very wide frame, he was not well built given his face was ball shaped and he had a small double chin, but he was still very imposing especially to onlookers who saw his large frame towering over the far smaller and slender Koneko

"Okay, get what you want to say out of the way, I've got my lunch to eat." Konko sighed, annoyed that she was being kept away from her lunch.

"Great, well I wanted to know if you'd be up for going out with us, we're a good group to be with and I think you'd enjoy our company as much as we'd enjoy yours., what do you say?" Botan boy stuck his hand out, offering it to Koneko, who just looked at his chunky hand, as he talked, she noticed his friends where sniggering

"I already know what you and your friends are thinking about, I know you only want to get me in your group so you can try and get into my pants, but that shit isn't happening." Koneko told herself, but she knew she didn't want to make a scene by saying this, so she held her tongue

"Thanks for the offer but no, I've already got a group I hang out with and you don't seem to be my type of people." Koneko mumbled as she turned around and attempted to walk away, only for his two friends to shove her back towards Botan.

"Is that so, well how about if I do this." Botan shot his arm out to Koneko grabbing her shoulder and slamming her back into the wall., using his other hand place it on Koneko's cheek and rub it roughly.

"Now I'm telling you, I want you to join my friends for some fun, and I'm not taking no for an answer." Botan snarled. As he said this Koneko weighed up her options, as she knew that she could kick his ass with no effort, given how strength as a devil and rook, but there was an issue, Rias had informed her peerage that since they are devils they have the potential to bring unwanted attention to themselves and the school , if they use their powers, so in school during normal hours they should restrain from using their powers, unless it is to deal with a threat that would warrant such use of demonic powers, and unfortunately dealing with a sex pest like Botan and his gang of chumps would not be enough.

"You better let me go or ill scream!" Koneko yelled hoping someone would hear, but unfortunately the hallway was empty.

"It won't matter, no one's here to stop us, from doing what we want. So give up and let us do what we want." Botana whispered as he leaned in close to Koneko and smelled her hair, but as he pulled away Koneko took the opportunity to headbutt him, hoping it would causing him to loosen his grip and she could try and run away, but it didn't work, and only served to annoy him, as she had struck him right on the nose and had caused it to bleed,

"You can suck it" Koneko hissed as she saw his eyes water and his nose bleed, a small smile crossed her face at the sight.

"bitch, you nearly broke my nose." Botan yelled as he raised his free hand and slapped Koneko across the face, causing her to yelp.

"Right boys, it seems she doesn't want to play... I think we need to convince her...dont you agree?" Botan hissed as his two friends grabbed Koneko's skirt and shirt and tried to tear them off,

"You're so small and light, I could hold you here all day, you've got a nice ass for a little girl..." Botan sniggered till until a voice rang through the hallway.

"Get away from her you assholes!" the voice got louder as they turned to see who was shouting,

"Issei" Koneko gasped as she saw Issei rushing towards her and the boys.

"Who the hell are you?" one of the boys called

"I'm Issei hyoudou and who the fuck are yous."

"I'm Botan and I'm telling you that this is none of your business, so stay out of it unless you want your head kicked in " Botan snarled.

"The hell it is, Koneko's my friend and you just tried to rape her, I can't let you dickholes away with this." " Issei bellowed.

"And what are you going to do hu, show us your dick and make us die laughing hahaha" one of Botans hissed as the boys all burst out laughing.

"You think I care, you wont get away with what you tried to do." Issei groaned and took his backpack of and put it in his hand.

"You think your going to stop us, theirs three of us and only one of you and your not very big, so your no where near as strong as us." Botana chuckled at the though of this pipsqueak trying to fight only to get his head knocked of by a single punch from Botans large hands.

"Looks can be deceiving" Issei whispered as he took his backpack and swung it at full force, striking one of the boys in the face knocking him out. Issei's bag was full of textbooks, booklets and his lunch which made the bag deceivingly heavy which when swung hit like a sledge hammer, as it struck the boys head hitting so hard it knocked his head against the wall, denting it slightly as the boy slumped to the ground.

"You bastard, the other unnamed boy cried as he charged Issei only to get a swift kick to the groin, buckling his knees as he clutched his balls, hoping they were still there.

"Oh come, he can't be that tough, Botana, groaned as saw his two friends lying on the ground, out of commission, only for issei to storm up to him.

"Let her go NOW!" Issei bellowed as Botana, let Koneko go and turned to face Issei, his large frame towering over the far smaller issei.

"Oh shit, he's fucking huge, Ddraig you going to give me a boost." Issei cried in his head.

"I wish I could but I can't, rias remember told us we couldn't use our powers in the school unless we had no other choices, so I'm sorry but your going to have to tough this one out yourself." Ddraig sighed as he heard Issei groan.

"Alright fine." Issei cried as he went back to focus on Botana, Who just stared at him menacingly.

"what you going to do no how, pipsqueak." Botana snarled as Issei loaded up on a right cross, and drove it into Botanas face, hitting directly on his already bloodied nose, and upon contact issei heard the sound of bone cracking as he realized that he expected had broken Botana's nose

"Ahhh, you dick, you've broke my fucking nose... I'm going to fucking rip you apart!" Botana screamed as he Helen his nose which poured blood staining his white school shirt, as his yes watered Andy his breathing became more difficult.

"Nice shot Issei, now keep moving. He a fat bastard, so he shouldn't have good stamina, so a little dodging and weaving should tire him out, pop a few jabs to keep him away. Ddraig bellowed.

"Thanks for the tip Mickey... I thought you said you weren't going to help me?" Issei asked in a quizzical tone.

"I said I wasn't going to give your magical support, that doesn't mean I can't give you some fight tips, I am a centuries old dragon with many years of combat experience after all... and I can't bear to live with the idea that my wielder got his ass kicked by a fat kid." Ddraig groaned, imaging the thought of Issei slumped in a corner as Botana stood over him victorious and the shame that would stain the red dragon emperor's reputation for centuries to come.

"Oh I see, so your doing this to save your rep, what about Koneko!" Issei shouted at Ddraig in his mind. As he ducked under a wild haymaker through by Botana.

"that as well Issei, I couldn't let him stand by and abuse Koneko like that." Ddraig bellowed as Issei again took a sidestep and dodge another Botana punch, returning the favour with a lighting fast jab to his face.

"Issei be careful, don't let him get close!" Koneko screamed as Issei raided his hand and gave her a thumb up, which Botana thought was a taunt.

"Your an asshole, take this shit serious, and stop mugging off" Botana, snarled, as he tried to grab issei only for him to miss his shot and stumble allowing Issei to through a hard kick to the back of Botanas knee , dropping hit to one knee, al the while Botina was gasping for air, as every breath was mixed with blood pouring down his throat from his nose, and his massive bulk making him work even harder.

"we got him on the ropes Issei, finish him!" Ddraig roared, as Issei jumped round to face Botana, with one of the boys he dealt with at his back, Issei raised his fist to land a knockout strike, only for something to catch his eye.

"Oh shit." issei yelped.

"what is it?" Ddraig roared, unsure as to what had stopped Isseis attack.

"Someone just came up the stairs and saw us fighting, they've now run off, there's going to be a big crowd and this is going to get a whole lot worse, we brought a lot more attention to this than we should have." Issei bellowed in a panicked tone to Ddraig.

"Finish it, check on Koneko and leave." Ddraig ordered

"Right ill...hey got off me you!" Issei screamed as one of the boys grabbed hold of his leg, Issei used his free leg and kicked the boy knocking him off, only for him to turn round into a thunderous right hook from Botana, who used the time to get up and throw a punch with everything he has.

"Thwack!" the sound of the right hook connecting with Isseis face, Issei felt something crack as his body suddenly relaxed and his body fell to the floor, his head smacking off the ground,

"ISSEI!" Koneko screeched as she saw Issei slump to the ground."

"I told you id get you for your taunting" Botana grinned as he knelt down and mounted Issei and started to land shots, luckily Issei wasn't knocked out so he was ablet to put his hands up to block, but Botanas fists were so large ad heavy that he managed to break apart Issei's block, landing more blows.

"Shit, what can I do now, this fat bastards on top of me!" Issei screamed to Ddraig.

"You have weather the storm, till he gives you and opening." Ddraig proclaimed.

"Get of him Botana, your issues with me." Koneko bellowed running up to Botana, and without warning, kicking him In the head, stunning Botana who with his ears ringing, turned his attention to Koneko, grabbing her and headbutting her, knocking her to the ground.

"Koneko!" issei roared, with pure hatred, as he saw his chance as Botana had lifted himself off Issei just enough for Issei to throw an elbow again towards Botan's nose, bursting it even more, and causing him to grab his nose in pain, allowing Issei to turn Botan with his legs onto his back with Issei taking hold of his arm, and putting him in an arm bar, Botan tried to fight it but he was so exhausted and slowed by the pain he was in that he couldn't resist.

"Right you two break it up!" voice tore through the hallway, as without warning a teacher jumped into the fray and pulled the two parties apart. It was the head teacher and one of the members of the biology department

"What the hell where yous to doing!" the headmaster bellowed.

"Botana and his friends were threating Koneko, I jumped into to rescue her." Issei gasped as the adrenaline from the fight wore off, all the while Botana was lying on the floor, gasping for at

"It's the truth, they stopped me while I was heading back to class with my lunch, Botana pinned me to the wall, and Issei rescued me." Koneko proclaimed in her usual monotone voice.

"I see, well I have to report this so yous are all coming with me to my office and we are sorting this out, but first ill take yous to the nurses office." the head Teacher sighed as he escorted the combatants to the nurses office, Botana requiring the help of the biology teacher to get to his feet.

After a few hours, the head teacher had decided to have Botana and the boys expelled, for his conduct, as their had been reports of similar incidents involving him and his friends, while Issei and were praised for their bravery in standing up to them, but they knew they had been through a lot, so he diced to send them home for the day. Issei face had turned black from the Botanas punch, the nurse had told him he had suffered a broken orbital bone and had attempted to phone the hospital but Issei refused stating he had a family doctor who would deal with this. Koneko had a a large bruise on her head and a few scrapes and bruises where Botana had grabbed her, but nothing to serious. They walked home and where silent for the entire journey.

"That's us home, I think ill head to my bed...I'm really tired." Issei yawned.

"Okay...and issei" Koneko mumbled.

"Yes Koneko?"

"Thank you, for saving me" Koneko whispered.

"No problem, I couldn't let him get away with it, and besides It wouldn't be right to leave a girl in a situation like that."

"That's very honorable issei, not like your usual perverted self" Koneko said in a teasing tone.

"Hey, you know I'm more than just a pervert, I can do things without needing a perverted reason to justify it." Issei teased back, poking Koneko on the shoulder playfully.

"I know issei, it's just... I have had to deal with this stuff before." Konko mumbled.

"You've had that happen to you before?" Issei gasped.

"Yeah, before you joined the peerage, I had a few boys a couple of times try and intimidate me into going out with them, they assumed that because I was small, and thin, that I wouldn't put up much of a fight or refuse to go, luckily they would normally shit themselves when I refused, and I left them, but Botana was different, he didn't care that I said no.

"I saw him and his friends trying to grope you, I heard you threating to scream but they didn't care, , evil bastards the lot of them." Issei snarled, only to hurt himself.

"That's what makes your different Issei from those guys, they want to hurt people in order to make their perverted dreams a reality, but you, would never do that to anyone, because you want to protect people and have respect for a girls freedom

"Thanks, Koneko, and don't worry about being small, your way tougher than any of the guys I know.

"I know it's just that I hate that people think I'm weak, because I'm small, I have had that shit happen way to many times in my life so far, from people at school to the devils I've fought, they see me as nothing but a child who should stay out of the fighting, but I can't, I have a duty to protect Rias and her family and I can't let them down.

"You could never let them down Koneko, you are so much stronger than I think anyone realises, you're the rook of the Gremory peerage and I fine rook at that. I still remember the time I thought you got eaten by that feral devil when I first joined and you shocked me when you held her mouth open like it was nothing, and she was so much bigger than you, and you made it look so easy, also cause your small you look really cute, Issei grinned at Koneko as he took a seat on the couch, hissing slightly from how sore he was. While Koneko tried to think of a way to answer without sounding embarrass

"Yeah that was fun, the look on your face though hahah" Koneko chuckled.

"My face wasn't that bad was it? Issei jokingly quizzed Koneko

"Well it wasn't as bad as how it is now" Koneko sighed as she sat beside Issei and lightly placed her hand on his face looking at the damage done.

"I'll get Asia to heal it once she's back im sure she..." Issei mumbled until he was interrupted by Koneko.

"Theirs is another way, I could use my sage arts to heal it."

"I forgot about that; um how does it work again?" Issei asked has he rubbed the back of his head.

"Sage arts or Senjutsu, works through manipulating the flow of chi or life energy of a person, and in this case I can use my chi to rapidly heal your wounds making them go away

"Okay, that's it...no um specific rules or things you need to do?" Issei sighed

"Well, one of the effects of healing Senjutsu requires close contact, so id need to be close to you." Koneko stated as she moved closer to issei

"Phew that's fine I was expecting it to be ahhhh" Issei yelped as he saw Koneko, remove her school uniform and sit in her white underwear, all the while issei tried to resist looking,

"Why are you stripping, this isn't a strip tease is it!?" Issei screeched as the thought of Koneko doing a strip tease and dancing, entered his mind and almost caused a very severe nosebleed.

"It's part of the whole being close part of Senjutsu, it requires skin contact to be more efficient, so take your clothes off." Koneko groaned as she started to remove Isseis clothes starting with his school shirt.

"Hey, wait, I can do that myself" Issei whimpered as his shirt was removed.

"Man, you seriously underestimate how strong she is given how small her frame is." Issei thought to himself.

"No funny business issei, I've seen your thoughts about Koneko, and I'm telling you, if you actually follow through ill, probably be sick." Ddraig bellowed.

"Shut up Ddraig" Issei bellowed. As Koneko noticed isseis eyes had glazed over slightly

"You okay issei you blanked out their" Koneko worriedly asked

"Oh yeah I'm fine, I...um, just started daydreaming. Issei stuttered.

"Sure... bet it was about me without my underwear... you pervert." Koneko puffed as she turned away from issei

"Oh, come on, I wasn't thinking of that... can we get to the healing so we both get this awkward moment out of the way." Issei mumbled as Koneko nodded and stood up only to sit down on issei's lap, as she activated her powers, revealing her white cat ears and tail, which snaked back and forth.

"Oh...my... god...she's on...my lap, take it easy issei, don't panic...just breath" Issei reassured himself, as he took long slow breaths, only to notice a shining blue ball of light appear in Koneko's hand and as soon as it appeared he felt the pain his body was in melt away, the tenderness of his wounds becoming numb.

"How are you feeling Issei is it working?" Koneko mumbled as she focused on focusing her chi.

"Wow, this is amazing, you're doing a great job Koneko I don't even feel sore anymore hahaha" issei chuckled as Koneko blushed at the compliment.

After a while Koneko stood and turned to face Issei and scanned his face looking for any marks or unhealed areas but as luck would have it she had managed to heal with wounds not even leaving a mark where they were, and she lightly touched his face to feel for the fractures orbital bone which there was now no sign of.

"Well that's you healed, not even a scar in sight." Koneko beamed.

"Thank you Koneko, I owe you one..." Issei whispered in a happy tone

"You don't owe me anything issei I still owe you for saving my life and a virtue." Koneko whispered

"You don't owe me anything Koneko, we're friends..." Issei mumbled

"Well I still want to pay you back so here; I token of how much you mean to me." Koneko purred as she moved is close to issei, making direct eye contact.

"Koneko..." Issei gasped as Koneko leaned in and lightly kissed his lips. Her lips as soft as silk, as she moved to make the kiss more passionate, her Nekomata features still in full view as her ears perked up and her tail swayed happily as they kissed. At that moment the door opened.

"Issei, Koneko what are you's doing!" Rias called as she caught them both in their underwear kissing.

"It not what it looks like, Koneko was just healing me, that's all" Issei yelped putting his hands up as a sign of surrender.

"I was paying back Issei for saving me today." Koneko proclaimed.

"Well, that's fine, I heard what happened, you did the right thing Issei, like a knight in shining armour who saved a fair maiden from a gang of evil trolls, a kiss is a fair reward for such a feat." Rias grinned as she leaned in and kissed issei on the forehead.

"I um..." Issei muttered as Akeno and Asia entered.

"Oh my, we seem to have walked in on a rather risky scene, mind if I joy" Akeno chuckled as she began to unbutton her shirt,

"I can't believe I'm missing out, I'm not letting this happened, I'm joining in as well" Asia yelped as she removed her shirt in a panicked state at revealing her ample bosom in a pink bra, while Akeno had begun to remove her black bra, to reveal her own ample packages, which where the envy of many men and women

"Wait, I can't deal with this right now, I'm not ready!" Issei yelped as Koneko smiled.

"I don't mind helping you get to full capacity, if I get to join" Koneko purred as she pounced on Issei and started to kiss him, followed by Akeno and Asia who followed suit, with Rias jumping it break them up when Issei passed out from pure excitement, with the last thing he saw was Koneko smiling and stroking his cheek lovingly.

The end,
