Chapter 2:Reaparing a heart
When Issei and Vali arrive to Vali's base, Issei almost fall becouse the pain of ripping his evil pieces out of him. "What where you thinking by doing that?" Vali asked with a frown "I*Pant* needed*Pant* to prove my point*Pant* that I wasn't her servant anymore." Issei managed to say. "Idiot." Was all that Vali said before knocking the door. Issei managed to see the outside of the base and it looked huge and fancy. It surprised Issei for two reasons. One, it was like a mansion and two it was really similar to his own house.
When the door open, there it was Kuroka with her black kimono and a teasing smile, wich became a confused face when she saw Vali supporting a bloody Issei. "What happened to you Sekiryuutei-Chan~Nyaan?" She asked. "He ripped off his evil piece. Now help him." Vali responded her "Why would he do that?" She asked "Kuroka…" Was Vali response "Fine,take him to my room. I'll see what I can do." Vali noded while carring Issei inside.
In their way to the room of Kuroka, they met Le Fay "Who is he?" she asked pointing to Issei "Issei Hyoudu, the actual Sekiryyutei. He is joining us." Vali stated calmly. At this Le Fay was stunned because the Sekiryyutei was joining them, and Kuroka asked surprised "~Nyaan~ He is joining us?" "Yes. Now lets continue." Vali said and continue to Kuroka's room.
When they arrived, they put Issei on the bed and Vali told Kuroka to heal him, while he was going to tell the rest of the team. So Kuroka just heal Issei, while he was silent. It was until Kuroka asked him "So what happened for you to take out your evil pieces Sekiryuutei-chan?~Nyan~" Issei didn't answer just kept looking down. "Its okay if you don't want to tell." She said and was about to walk out of the room but was stop by Issei's question "Have you ever been manipulated?"
She turned around and after some thinking she answered "Yes." Issei looked at her and asked "What did you do when you find out?" "The same as you. Run away." She answered with a smile "Now sleep, it might help you. Good night Sekiryuutei-chan~Nyan~" She said but before she was going to leave she was again stopped by Issei "Kuroka." "Hmmm?" "Just call me Issei." He said before going to sleep "Hai, Ise-kun."
When she left the room the rest of the Vali team was there waiting. She closed the door and Vali asked "How is he?" "Stabilize. He just need to rest. Actually I'm surprised that he could stand so much without his evil pieces~Nyan~" She answered "Anyway, what happen back there?" She asked Vali "Yes, to pull out his evil pieces it should have been something bad." Arthur said. "It was." Vali said "It seems that he was being manipulated all along he was working for the Gremory house. Now that he discover that, he decided to join us." Vali explained. "I feel that there is more." Bikou said "Probably. But that's up to him for telling." Everybody nodded at this and went inside and wait for him to wake up.
When Issei woke up he felt a lot of stares looking at him, and when he looked he looked around he saw the whole Vali team looking at him. "How do you feel Issei-sama?" Le Fay asked "Better now, thanks." He answered "So what happened?" Bikou asked "Did the Switch Princess punished you?" Bikou joked. At this Issei only lowered his head and everyone looked at Bikou, then Arthur hit him in the back of the head "Can't you read the mood?" He asked annoyed. After Bikou stop complaining Vali asked "Are you sure about this, Hyoudu?" "Totally." Issei answered with confidence.
Vali let out a sight and say "Take the week to get heal 100% and then the training starts." He walked to the door and said "It will not be easy, so don't complain, okay." Issei nodded at this "And Kuroka, you will take care of him until he starts the training." Vali said and Kuroka nodded. After that everyone but Kuroka and Issei.
*1 Week Later*
After the week went through Issei and Kuroka made a really good relationship and Issei trusted her a little, not with his life, but enough. The same went for Kuroka which accepted Issei on the team. At the start they just talked about random stuff until Kuroka asked about Koneko. At this Kuroka told Issei that she did that to protect Koneko from her former master before he did something bad to her. She didn't take Koneko with her to protect her and for not being labeled as a criminal. Issei told her that Koneko miss her. And for what she did she deserves every single drop of respect possible . Issei also told her about Raynare and even make the bond stronger becoming friends quickly . Also other members came to visit primarily to familiarize with Issei.
With Le Fay it was like with Asia. Both were shy and innocent. And it was also really fun to talk with. While Issei told her things about demons Le Fay told him things about magicians. Also the fact that she I really cute. And that Issei don't see her as younger sister. The problem was that she is a big fan of the Opai Dragon, so every time she mention it Ddraig break into tears.
With Arthur which was Le Fay older brother was interesting to talk, because he was pretty smart. Also Arthur told him that Le Fay and himself were direct descendants of King Arthur and Morgan Le Fay. Arthur and Issei also become friends even though Arthur thinks that Issei is dating Le Fay. So every time that Arthur and Issei are talking, Arthur takes out the conversation of the wedding between Le Fay and Issei and sometimes calling him his brother-on-law.
Bikou might be the most talkative of the group, but in a good way. He always seems to come out with a way to make a joke of everything and even though he enjoys teasing Issei,Vali and Arthur, you can tell he is a good friend. Like with the others they become some sort of friends. The bad side of him is that he can't read the mood of the situations. Because of this he is really used to say inappropriate things in the worst situations.
Vali also come from time to time. They were already friends because all of their spars so when he came they just talk about random things and to know each other better which only make the friendship stronger. Until the last day of Issei recovery.
"Hyoudu, are you ready?" Vali asked "Yeah." He answered "So who will be training me?" "Bikou, Arthur and me, so lets go." Vali answered and both of them left. "Good luck Ise-kun~Nyan~" Kuroka told him before he left.
*1 month after Issei arrived*
The first month was probably the most intense training that Issei ever had. Each in his respective area.
*Vali's Training*
Vali's training basically was to spar against him, but Issei felt that he was going to easy "Something wrong Hyoudu?" Vali asked "Yes, I'm pretty sure that you are going easy on me." Issei replied "It was to not open your wounds but if you want to go all in…" Vali didn't finish because of Issei "You Bet!" At this answer Vali could only smile and then charge forward Issei.
*Arthur's Training*
Arthur's training was about Issei dodging or blocking his attacks, which by the way were done by his Excalibur and Issei being a demon was really painfull. "It is impressive how can you stand the cuts of my Excalibur Issei-san." Arthur told him "Well, I can survive after taking out my evil pieces by force, so it would be sad if I can't stand a mere sword." Issei joked. At the comment Arthur smiled and said "A mere sword you say. We will see about that." Then he put himself in fighting position "I just hope that you can still marry Le Fay after this." "I already told you that we don't have that type of relation." Issei said putting himself in defense stance "Don't try to deny it, I already accepted it." Then he attacked.
*Bikou's Training*
Bikou compared with Vali and Arthur was more carefree, so he had a good training plan "Look Ise, I don't want to attack you because, the idea is to get you tired, soooo, I'm going to maku you run!" Said Bikou with a smile "Run?" Issei questioned "Yes, run! Through this." Said Bikou showing Issei a obstacle course made by himself. "Believe me, after this you would want to kill yourself" He said with a smirk "We'll see about that." Issei said with a smile before start to run through the course.
At the end he always ended up being healed up by Kuroka. He said that he can heal himself like the others but she insists healing herself. At this point it already was suspicious to Issei so he asked her. "Ne,Kuroka, whydo you always heal me after the training and the others no? They aren't in the best condition neither." "Well that's because there is a difference~Nyan~" Was her answer "That is?" Issei asked again, and Kuroka smiled and said "Is that I enjoy more with Isei-kun~Nyan~" Issei just smiled back and patted her head.
*2 months after Issei arrived*
After two months Issei was talking with Ddraig about a particular theme.
'Do you think I should ask her out?'
['Who? The cat girl?']
'Yes, I mean, I like her like a crush after all this time but what if. I don't know Ddraig.'
['Look partner, I know you don't want to get hurt again. But if you stay hidden, you will lose opportunities with the right people. But if you want my opinion, I would tell you to take the chance. Who knows what is going to happen.]
'Okay Ddraig if you said so. But I will need some help.'
After thinking that he went to the living room where he found Vali,Bikou and Arthur watching TV. He went to them and asked them. "Hey guys. You know what Kuroka likes?"
The first one to answer was Arthur "Her sister if I am right."
Then Vali "I don't know. Fish maybe?"
And last Bikou "Babies. She is always asking you to have babies with her right."
"Koneko,fish and babies." Issei though "The only good idea there was the fish. Thanks." He then left the three there thinking "I wonder what is he planning?" Bikou though with a smirk. "So he is finally asking her out, huh. He took his time." Vali said smiling too. "That's impossible Vali-san." Arthur said calmly "After all, Issei-san is dating my sister and I doubt that he is that kind of man." "He is not dating Le Fay!" Both Vali and Bikou screamed at him.
Upstairs Issei went to Kuroka's room and knocked and waited until Kuroka came out "Hey Kuroka, can I ask you something?" "What is it Issei-kun~Nyan~" "I wanted to know if you wanted to go out and eat something with me?" He asked and Kuroka smiled teasingly "Like a date?" she asked "Yeah. Like a date."
*3 months after Issei arrived*
Arthur was really mad at Issei. To a point of chasing him around the house with Excalibur. At the same time Le Fay was begging him to stop red as a tomato because the embarrassment, Kuroka was also blushing of embarrassment, Bikou was laughing at the situation while Vali was against a wall shaking his head. How did they got to this you wonder. You see.
*Flashback*
After the first date between Issei and Kuroka they went into some others until they decided to give it a chance and start dating. They didn't tell this to anybody to avoid unnecessary problems in the group. So every time they were alone in the house they…make out. In the room, bathroom living room, etc. Until they slip up.
Everyone expect for Issei and Kuroka went out for a mission they decided to have other make out session. In the kitchen this time.
"Kuroka, are you sure about this?" Issei asked a little nervous "Oh, I didn't know you were so shy Ise-kun~Nyan~" she said teasingly. At the same time she sit him on a chair and get on his lap. "Is not that. Is that are sure you want to do it in the kitchen?" He asked "Hmmm. Yes." Issei sweat dropped at her answer but before he could answer she kissed him and he kissed her back. Until someone came in.
"Wait! I think I left something at the kitch-kitch-kitch…" It was Le Fay who got red of the embarrassment of seeing her crush and best friend making out. "Le Fay?" Issei asked embarrassed "I though that you and the rest went to a mission~Nyan~" Kuroka said innocently. "I-I-I…" Was all Le Fay could say before someone else enter.
"Hey Le Fay,why are you taking so long?" That was what Bikou asked her before entering the kitchen. When he enter and saw the position that Issei and Kuroka were he busted out in laugher. "Hey, I think we left the stove on because here is really hot,HAHA! Then he continue laughing much more for Issei embarrassment and Kuroka anger. Until someone else enter the room.
"You two are really doing it on the kitchen? Were we cook our food?" That was Vali with a unsurprised voice and face. "I already knew about you two. But can you at least have the decency to do it on a room?" He asked. At this comment Kuroka got a little embarrassed because then she tough that everyone was watching her like that. At last the final member enter the room.
"Hey, what is going…on?" Arthur asked at the same of emitting a killers aura and slowly narrowing his eyes looking at Issei. "Wait! Before you do anything ru-" he was interrupted by Arthur "Issei-san! I though you were better tan this! But you instead betray my trust and more importantly my sister! Now prepare yourself!" The last thing he said at the same time of summoning Excalibur and getting into battle stance. "No! Wait Arthur! Listen!" It was to late. Arthur already attacked.
*Flashback ends*
It took 1 hour to calm down Arthur and explain to him for the last time that there wasn't a relationship between Issei and Le Fay "I apologize Issei-san. I think this was my fault." "You think!?" Everyone but Vali screamed at him "But I will still accept you into the Pedragon family if my sister is happy." He stated much for Le Fay embarrassment "Oni-sama! Don't say things like that!" She said to him. "Well anyway we need to go now. Goodbye you two." Vali ordered and the group but Kuroka and Issei left to their mission.
*Four months after Issei arrival*
Everyone was on the table laughing but Vali who was frowning and Albion who was sobbing. That was because Vali new nickname
*Flashback*
Issei and Bikou were walking through the halls but they stop in front of Vali's door because they hear some music coming from it. When they open it the saw Vali in front of his TV watching a video with a huge butt in it.
"Ehmmm,Vali what are you doing?" Issei asked. Hearing that Vali turned off the video and face them. "Nothing." Was his response "Aha." Both Issei and Bikou said. After some seconds of silence Bikou asked with a smirk "Sooo, you have a butt fetishe?" With this Vali blushed from embarrassment and defended himself "No, I don't." He said "Riiight." Both Bikou and Issei said. "Well see ya Butt-Dragon" Bikou joked and Issei laugh.
With that comment Vali's eyes widened and Albion screamed [Who are you calling Butt-Dragon?!"] "Well, to Vali. If Issei is the Oppai-Dragon because he likes oppais, then he is the Butt-Dragon because he likes butts." Bikou explained while Issei continue to laugh. ["But it is degrading!"]Albion tried to persuade them to drop the joke but Ddraig told him [Don't waste your breath Albion. It doesn't matter how much you plead, they will not stop."]
Then Issei and Bikou left laughing leaving an embarrassed Vali and a sobbing Albion, and proceed to tell everyone about the incident.
*Flashback ends*
In the dining room everyone but Vali and Albion were laughing and commenting.
"I didn't know Vali was such a pervert~Nyan~" Kuroka teased.
"I'm not a pervert." Vali answered.
"I didn't expect this from Vali-san I have to say." Arthur said.
"I'm not a pervert." Vali answered feeling the popping vein on his forehead.
"I hope that Vali-sama haven't peeked on me." Le Fay said shyly.
"I'm not a pervert." Vali said starting to get really annoyed.
"Vali is okay if you like that type of things you know? You are in your right." Issei told him.
"I'm not a pervert!" Vali screamed this time.
"Whatever you say. Butt-Dragon!" Bikou joked but got thrown into other room because the punch that Vali gave to him and then he start fighting against Issei for starting all this.
*Five months after Issei arrival*
Once again in the dining table were the group. But not everyone was happy this time.
Bikou was bruised up but proud of what he did.
Vali was shaking his head but you can see the small smile on his face.
Kuroka was angry. Especially at Bikou for starting this.
Arthur was smiling like he won something.
Le Fay was really, really happy for the turns of events. So she could only hold from Issei's arm.
While Issei could only wander how he got on this situation.
*Flashback*
After some time of Issei and Kuroka was official, Le Fay grew jealous because she also had a crush on Issei. So she decided to tell someone what she felt and she told Bikou. Bikou after hearing her, he came with an idea. "Don't worry Le Fay. Let me handle this." He said with a smirk and pointing his thumb to himself. "Okay. But what exactly are you going to do Bikou-sama?" Le Fay asked him shyly "Don't worry you'll see." Answered Bikou before leaving.
Bikou then went to Vali and told him that on his daily spar against Issei he put more intensity on it, which Vali accepted.
After the match, Issei was really hurt so Bikou approached to him with a smile "Hey, Issei! How are you holding up?" He asked friendly "What do you want Bikou?" Issei asked still hurt after Vali spar. "Nothing. Just to help a friend in need. Here take this." Bikou said while holding a pill. Issei looked at the pill and doubted. But he really needed to the pain to decrease so he took it. "Wow, Bikou. I actually feel more relaxed. Thanks!" He told him "Don't sweat it." Bikou answered "Hey, by the way can you sign this?" He said innocently to Issei.
After that Issei sign them he asked "What were those about anyway?" Bikou just smiled "Marriage papers of Kuroka and Le Fay! Congratulations!" He answered "You!" Was all that Issei said before passing out and Bikou proceed to tell everyone the news.
When Issei woke up he went downstairs to find a blushing Le Fay, a smiling Arthur, a furious Kuroka, a Bikou getting beated by Kuroka and a sighing Vali. When he was to ask what was going on someone patted his shoulder. It was Arthur "Well it seems that you finally accepted my sister's feelings. I entrust her to you my brother-in-law." Arthur said with a smile. "No wait Arthur. This all a prank of-" He didn't manage to finish because Arthur drew Excalibur " Are you saying that my sisters feelings are a joke!? That you are just going to leave like that!?" Issei knew that didn't have escape to this, so just accepted his destiny.
"Wait but you two also sign the papers?" He asked too Le Fay and Kuroka. "Yes." Kuroka said "He told me you wanted to spend more time with me and I get really exited and signed them." She said in defeat. Then Issei looked at Le Fay "Me too Issei-sama." She said shyly "Is that Bikou-sama told me that you ended with Kuroka and wanted to go out with me and that those paper were official dating papers." She said embarrassed of being tricked by that. At the same time Kuroka continue to kick Bikou for saying things like that.
"Well, guess I don't have other choice." Issei said gaining the attention of everybody in the room "I'll try to go out with both of you." He ended. At this Kuroka was ready to attack Issei for saying that, but Le Fay jump to him and grab hold from his arm while screaming in joy "Issei-Sama!".
*Flashback ends*
*6 months after Issei arrival*
Everyone was in the living room frowning this time. The reason? The headline of the newspaper.
"Red Dragon Emperor Death!"
Rias Gremory Crying at her lost
After five months of looking they finally found the body of the actual Sekiryyutei.
Everyone was silent until Vali spoke "So they finally put it? Huh."
"I am surprised that they didn't put it earlier" Arthur added.
"But why would they lie about it?" Le Fay asked sad.
"Probably to avoid that the people knew that one of the strongest members of the devils join us." Bikou explain.
Then Kuroka looked at Issei which he looked mad about the newspaper "Ise-kun."
"Rias Gremory crying?! What kind of sick joke is this!?" Issei asked angrily.
Everyone looked at him with pity until Vali broke the silence "Issei. I know you are still mad with her for what she did to you. But remember, you are one of us now, and we got your back no matter what." Vali tried to calm him down, which seemed to work seeing Issei's smile and everyone smiled and nodded at the comment.
"Guys, thanks." Issei told them.
*Present day*
Issei was in his bed trying to sleep and with him he had a sleeping Kuroka and Le Fay. They already passed 7 months since he joined Vali and after so much training they are finally sending him on a mission to retrieve something. But he was really nervous. Not because it was going to be his first mission, because it was really close to his old house. He was afraid he sees his old friends again. Because for some reason, he couldn't just hate them but didn't want to see them again.
"Ise-kun?" Kuroka asked
"Sorry. Did I woke you up?"
"Yes you were moving to much~Nyan~" She said
"Sorry, I was just nervous about tomorrow." He said
"Don't worry. I'll be there with you." She calmed him down
"Yeah. Goodnights."
"Good Night Ise-kun." She then wrapped her tail around his waist hugged him and fell asleep.
