Chapter 7: The decision

*Vali team headquarters*

It was been a week since the attack on the Gremory Manor and from the attack on the Grigori. In the meeting room , the Vali team were making a new plan.

"So as you know, after our attack on the Gremory Manor we gather information on the moves of the Hero Faction," Vali said making everybody nods "But the information there was useless, so the attack was a waste of energy and time." Vali finished making everyone eyes widen.

"WHAT!?" Everybody screamed at the same time making Vali flinch.

"What you heard. I underestimated Cao-Cao intelligence and overrated the Gremory's information. It is my fault." Vali apologized but Kuroka was having none "Of course is your fault! You know what happened back there? We saw our worst nightmares!" Kuroka said making Vali look down. But before she could continue Issei interrupted.

"Kuroka, please stop. Vali almost died back there too. This isn't his fault. We all played our part in this." Kuroka only sighed and Vali smiled. After Kuroka apologizing to Vali Issei asked.

"Do we have any other plan to do or to prepare?" Vali shook his head "No, let's take another week off. We still have the key so Hero Brigade can't do anything. So I don't see why some days off would do any damage."

Bikou was screaming of joy, Arthur was smiling and thanking Vali and Kuroka and Le Fay wanted to hang out with Issei. But this said that he wanted to go to town alone.

After convincing Le Fay and accidently promising more babies to Kuroka Issei left.

*Kuoh streets*

Issei was walking in the streets of his hometown when he notices something. The sky changed it color. That means that someone supernatural is attacking him.

"Hello Issei." A familiar said from behind.

When he turned around, he saw Sirzechs Lucifer standing behind him with a kind smile. "Sirzechs." Issei said calling his sacred gear. "Oh Issei, I already told you to call me oni…" He never finished because the glare that Issei was giving him.

"What do you want?" Issei asked preparing himself for a fight. But Sirzechs never changed his expression "To talk."

*Vali Team headquarters next day*

Vali woke up expecting this to be a normal day without planning the next great move of the team. Just when he was done putting his clothes on Issei bust in the room and closed the door. "Vali listen to me." Issei said and Vali nodded telling him to continue.

"You need to take the key with you." Issei said making Vali raise a brow "Why?" "Look, there is no time to explain. Just take key and prepare the escape route to the base in Bikou's palace." Issei said.

Vali putted a hand over his shoulder to calm him down. "Hyoudu, tell me." Vali said seriously. Issei let out a sight "Take a seat. This is going to last a while."

*Meeting Room*

Everyone but Issei and Vali was in the meeting room wondering why were they called. "Why do we have more job?! Weren't we on a vacation?!" Bikou exclaimed making Arthur sight of irritation, "I don't now Bikou-san. Otherwise I would have tell you already." Then Kuroka commented, "I don't know but Issei-kun said it was important so I believe him. ~Nya~"

Bikou was about to say something but right then Issei and Vali appeared. Vali seated next to Kuroka and Issei stand up in front of the group.

"I just wanted to say thanks." Issei started confusing the group but Vali "When Vali bring me here I was broken. I lost my purpose and I was lost. But here I not only found a new reason to fight. I find friends. True friends, that later became my family." Issei finished with a smile, making everybody gain one.

"Hey, Issei, your speech was really nice and all, but why now you said this to us?" Bikou asked making everyone lose the smiles and Vali turned serious. "I also wanted to say that I am sorry." Before anyone could ask why Arthur said, "I detect some people outside. Strong people." Right there Vali activated the escape route trapping everyone except Issei inside.

"What's going on?" Le Fay asked worriedly and Vali answered, "Somehow the Gremory's discover the base. Issei is saving us." Kuroka got the message: Issei is giving himself in. "ISSEI!" Kuroka screamed but it was too late. They were already gone.

Right then Sirzechs entered with Garfia and some men that grabbed Issei in case that he tried anything. "Good that you listen to me Issei, now your friends are safe." Issei still remembered that talk.

*Flashback*

"Talk about what?" Issei asked and Sirzechs showed him a picture of the outside of the headquarters to Issei surprise. "You see Issei, I could take down you, and your group of friends whenever I felt like. But instead I want to make a deal with you." Sirzechs said making Issei raise a brow "A deal?"

"Yes, you see, my sister was really hurt when you left. So my deal is; if you came back to her, not to be her pawn, just go back to school I will let your friends go and erase all their crimes." Sirzechs answered him "And if I refuse?" "Then they would go to torture and to execution like the criminals they are. So what do you say Issei?"

*Flashback ends*

*3 Weeks later, Gremory Dungeon*

For 3 weeks, Issei was in the cells waiting to go back to Kuoh Academy. He received visits from Rias and her peerage telling him how happy they were that he was back. He have not say a word since he arrived. He only ate, he was served with his favorite's food because Rias asked the chefs to do it and herself bring the food to him, hi drink water or juice, the one that bringed to him and stayed in his cell.

Right now Asia was removing his handcuffs to go to school, "Don't worry Issei-san, everything is going to be alright." She said but she received no answer depressing her. Now they are on their way to Kuoh Academy.

*Mountain of flower and fruit*

In the meeting room of the Palace of Bikou, there were the rest of the Vali team. Kuroka had her eyes red and puffy for all the crying. When they arrived and Vali told them, she attacked Vali and this was not fighting back. It took Arthur, Bikou, Le Fay and some servants to avoid her killing Vali. Since then she broke. The rest was thinking on a plan to save Issei. They have one now.

After Vali explained the plan, he asked "Okay this plan is really risky so is everyone ready?" After receiving nods and determinate looks, he smirked and said, "If that's the case, let's go."

*Kuoh Academy, Issei Room*

Issei morning was awkward. When he arrived, he received confused looks. The reason? He was more buffed than before. This was confusing because the illusion they were using was his old scrawny self. Therefore, to see the change in one day to another was confusing. He also ignored his old friends, Matsuda and Motohada; he was not in the mood for their bullshit today.

So he was seated looking to the window. The only person he spoke too was Irina. He hold nothing against Irina so he could hang out with her. He could sense how Kiba, Asia and Xenovia were staring at him, waiting for him to go and talk to them.

Then the teacher came in and the class took seat. "Hello class. Before we start, the class let me introduce to you your newest classmate. Come in." The teacher ordered the new person who entered.

He had a white complexion, he was wearing the usual Kuoh uniform and have silver hair. Issei eyes widen in recognition while Kiba and Xenovia narrowed theirs and Asia looked in fear.

"Come on boy. Introduce yourself."

"My name is Vali Hyoudu. Please take care of me." Vali said and bowed to the class.

And done! I know this chapter is shorter but is only for this chapter. I wanted to say that I'm stoping answering reviews so that way I can upload chapters faster. The reason why answering reviews and my uploading speed are connected is because I wait somedays to get some reviews to answer. Also that the next two chapters that I'm going to upload are the prologue and chapter 1 of my new story '5 Hearts'. It will be a Naruto fic by the way. So if you don't like Naruto ignore that story and continue with this one. Tell a friend that likes Naruto to read when the first chapters are out for him or her to read. I'm not stopping writing this story though. And that's a wrap. Till next time.
