THE BLUE DRAGON EMPEROR

=CHAPTER 1=

=BEING AN INFANT IS NO FUN!=

Is... is this seriously what I'm going to have to bear with for the rest of my toddler years?

Some days after we finally got discharged from the hospital and got back home; to say our parents, Haruna (mom) and Keisuke (dad) Hyoudou, were pampering us rotten would be one huge understatement. Although can't say I disliked all the cuddles Haruna put us through... As embarrassing as it is to admit; my momma's boy nature had apparently stuck with me even through death...

But what made it worse for me was the fact it is still too soon for me yet to truly consider Haruna as my mother (with my past memories intact, that stuff needs time for one to cope up with), which in turn dampens my inhibitions from taking special enjoyment whenever Haruna sticks her bare chest out to us for feeding purposes... Thus deepening my shame with each breastfeed session...

In my defense, once my eye-sight got developed enough (that being about one feet away) to see my new mom's face; Haruna is fucking hot, which honestly shocked me considering how plain she looked in the anime. Her appearance in the most parts was the same as in the show (also proving myself of being born in DxD), except now I got to see her when she was much younger. Haruna was definitely a young mother, seemingly barely in her mid-twenties, lacking all the wrinkles and all the stuff to prove her age.

All in all an A-grade milf... I'm just glad hormones won't be influencing me until years from now, however I just hope my conscience won't be a bitch and accepts Haruna as my new mother by then, or else it's gonna get real awkward real fast...

Back to present however, which brings me back to my current situation at hand, that being my current state of major irritation. Around a week or two later after our return at the Hyoudou residence; Our neighbor got a wind about us, the twins (I suspect Haruna bragging about us to her friends) and practically demanded our parents to allow her to see us.

And here we are, lied down inside our (my brother and I) shared crib... Listening to-

"Dawww they are just precious! Who's a good baby? Yes, yes you are~ Oh yes you are~. Bububu~" My eyes were twitching madly as I watched this yahoo of a woman put her non-existent baby-whisperer skills to use, while making silly (read: stupid) faces as she loomed above us... I repeat that shit just annoys the heck out of me! While Issei seemingly finds this entertaining if his giggles were anything to go by...

This "lovely" lady; is our neighbor Mrs. Shidou... Yes, Shidou. As in the mother of Issei's childhood friend, Irina. In appearance-vise Mrs. Shidou (Maria, I believe her name was?) was practically a carbon copy of Irina (well I suppose it's the other way around considering Irina is Maria's offspring), the only difference being her dirty blond hair color, which she wore straight instead of pigtails. You could also easily tell which one of her parents Irina inherited her eye color from.

Oh and from the look of it, she's now around 8 months pregnant, expecting Irina, if her bloated belly was anything to go by.

Meeting Maria had genuinely surprised me, since I didn't expect Irina's and Issei's friendship start this early on in the story. And I was quite confident Haruna and Maria were going to pull off play dates between us the moment we're able to crawl. Though it makes me seriously wonder how the hell Issei remained oblivious to Irina's gender, despite being together throughout all these years...

However...

If someone isn't going to pull this lady off my face soon, I swear I'm going to be the first baby to ever die from a busted vein in the brain, with the main cause of it being sheer annoyance!

Also Issei? You may be my brother now, but could you kindly shut yer trap!? (My "words" came out in an insensible gurgle) That's not even moderately funny for God's sake! Oh right, the big guy upstairs got his holy ass killed in the Great War...

Anyhow, Mrs Shidou seems to be pouting now as she took in my reaction, or more like the complete lack of one. "Mouh~ he's not responding at all~"

Haruna, who stood right beside her, begun to giggle at Maria's dismay. "Yes, my Hiro-chan's is the little cranky pants of the family."

I pouted. I'm not that cranky, at least not all the time... I think?

Then I felt Haruna picking me up by the armpits and brought me to her chest, where I subconsciously pressed my stubby hands against one of her nipples... And squeezed...

Also for the record; she's not wearing a bra...

"Ahn~ careful Hiro-chan, those are sensitive!" She reprimanded me, but her tone clearly lacked any sort of heat as she gently pushed my hand away from the nip (NO, MY PRECIOUS!). Haruna then turned her attention to her friend. "He may act grumpy most of the time, but Hiro-chan's most definitely the bigger mama's boy of the two, with his funny fascination with my boobs." Haruna finished as she cooed down at me, while showering my face with kisses.

Crap... She noticed...

I felt my face heat up in shame at the remark, hiding my face in the crook of her arm. Issei was supposed to be the Oppai brained looney of the series not ME!

And this is our MOTHER we're talking about here!

"Aww~ he's acting all shy now~" This time it was Maria's turn to coo at me, so I gave her a weak glare in response.

Screw you ma'am.

But then I yawned loudly and begun to rub my eyes tiredly. All that ire aimed at Mrs. Shidou had taken a toll at me it seems.

Haruna looked down at me with affection. "Feeling tired Hiro-chan?" She gently asked as she rocked me.

I moaned weakly and nodded in reflex, but it seems, neither of the women took a notice of the latter act. Haruna then gently placed me back into the crib right beside Issei, who is all tuckered out by now (that was fast, considering how he was laughing his ass off not even a second ago). I could feel my consciousness slip the instant my head hit the pillow. But before I reached the realm of Morphius, I heard mother's loving voice...

"Good night. Ise-chan, Hiro-chan... my-..."

That was all I could hear before the blackness took me...

-Months later-

My name (now) is Hiroshi Hyoudou or Hyoudou Hiroshi as it is worded out in japanese customs. It's been around six-and-a-half months since my rebirth as Issei's older twin.

And now? Here I am seated next to Issei on the floor carpet of our living room, while in front of us sat equally diaper wearing, chibi Irina (wearing a pink onesie), who was born a month after I first met Mrs. Shidou at our home all the way back. Irina's innocent eyes kept shifting back and forth between me and my brother in both confusion and curiosity all the while sucking on her pacifier and holding a stuffed teddy bear. My input for her reason to the former would be that Issei and I are in fact identical twins, with the exact same facial features while donning the same set of clothes (blue onesies with cartoonish dragon in the center. Oh, the irony). Though can't say Irina's reaction isn't justified, considering the only, and I mean the only way one could tell me and Issei apart is by our personalities, which even as a baby is seen clear as day.

While Issei is excitable, easily distracted and loud, I on the other hand am the exact opposite; calm, observant and quiet, although the last trait tend to be only broken whenever I'm either hungry, want to be held by Haruna (I like cuddling, don't judge me!) or whenever I... Soil (or am about to soil) myself... Which for an adult man (in soul) feels so God damn disgusting, enough for my very soul to cry Nile river's worth of tears...

Anyhow back to the matter at hand; that being the vastly amusing sight of owlish Irina's, who clearly had the expression as if she had stepped into twilight zone due to the twins existence. And if the laughter of our parents (Both Mr. & Mrs. Hyoudou and Shidou respectfully) was anything to run by, they seemed to be in the same page as I and took great amusement from the scene before them.

"Hehe~ Oh lord, poor Irina-chan looks so confused." Haruna remarked once she calmed down from her fit of giggles.

Mr. Shidou, Touji (middle-aged man with short light brown hair, same as Irina's own, packed with a stubble beard and steel grey eyes), chuckled in agreement seeing his daughter's current dilemma from meeting the Hyoudou twins.

"Neh Touji-kun?" Keisuke, my dad called out in a faux subdued tone. That tone and that glint of his glasses (ya know that dramatic effect the glasses wearing villains do?), proved no good...

"Hm?" Touji raised a curious eyebrow as he turned his attention to dad.

Mischievous grin played my father's lips, oh boy. "What do you think? Which one of the twins is going to turn out as an item with little Irina in the future?" I frikking knew it!

Touji's cheerful attitude made an immediate 180 and his eyes darkened considerably. "NO! My baby won't be dating boys until she's at least 60!" To my astonishment; the dude's tone was completely genuine...

I know nearly every single anime has that one father character who pulls off this very cliche overprotecting papa facade, whenever their daughter is involved. But dating at sixty? Is this guy freaking serious?

Then came the (equally cliche) exasperated wife, who cuts in and starts pulling on her husband's ear, causing the latter to cry out comically. "Owowow M-Ma-Maria that huurts~! P-please let me go~"

"Then stop being a overprotecting moron, you dunce" Maria said exasperatedly with a huff, but she did let go after a minute.

I smirked at the exchange and snorted inwardly to myself. That guy is so- "Whipped~" And Dad seemed to share my beliefs, but he made it vocal and Touji wasted no time to glare at my old man.

"Oh, I'll show you whip-"

*slap*

Maria then playfully slapped the back of Touji's head. "Behave, Hun." While ignoring her, now sulking, husband; Maria clapped her hands together with a bright smile painted upon her face. "Besides, Keisuke-san has a wonderful point~! I definitely approve!" I rolled my eyes. And now there's two of them... Or three because I'm hundred percent certain that mom would be gunning for this little childhood friend hookup confederacy as well. Well I certainly wouldn't mind dating a girl like Irina, because lets be honest she's going to grow up into one heck of a beauty. She might be a bit too airheaded for my tastes, but regardless she's still one of my favorite girls of the series. Not to mention I'm confident it will score me some extra affection points from her for not mistaking her for a boy.

"Oh, I love it! And all the grandbabies to spoil~" Uh helloo~~? Earth to mother? If you haven't noticed; you have two kids not even 7 MONTHS old yet and you're already thinking about the grandchildren!?

There's a fine line between sensible way of planning ahead and being plain crazy...

All the parents sans Haruna laughed at her remark . "H-Haruna, honey-" Keisuke chortled out trying his best to control his laughing fit. "Y-you just became a mother few months ago. We should focus on our OWN children, for now. One thing at a time, okay dear?" Glad to see that there's someone sane enough in the room to point that out...

Haruna blushed, abashed. "Ah... right, right... Silly me." She rubbed the back of her neck while giggling in a sheepish manner, while the others chuckled alongside her.

Except for Touji, who became silent all of sudden and seemed to become paler with each second. "Grandkids... meaning childbirth... which comes after pregnancy... And before that comes... NO! I WON'T ALLOW IT! MY PRINCESS WON'T BE SULLIED BY-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU LOVABLE NIMROD!" Maria brought up freaking paper fan out of her ass and proceeded to slap Touji in the head with it in such force that his face actually slammed through the wooden floor. I immediately felt my jaw drop and my eyes widen into dinner plates as I just literally witnessed a scene straight out from some slapstick anime in REAL. FUCKING. LIFE. right in front of me...

Err... Touji-san's not moving? I-is he still alive?

"Now then where were we?" Maria casually questioned my parents with a smile and the crew just fell back to their earlier conversation... Oii~!? Are we seriously going to ignore a potential corpse right in the middle of our living room, who's head by the way is literally buried INTO the floor between the splintered wooden planks...

"Bah~" And at some point during my shock induced mind; Issei had crawled all the way up to the assumed corpse and... begun to poke it with a toy club (Macara I think they were called?)... Brother have some respect to the (possibly) deceased would ya!?

My sleeve was then being pulled by someone. My eyes begun to twitch in response, now what!? I turned to whoever bothered me with a sour look, which vanished immediately once my eyes locked with Irina's innocent bright violet eyes. I tilted my head in curiosity, wondering what she wanted, before she shyly presented her teddy bear to me... "Babaah~" She gurgled out at me adorably, while tucking on my sleeve in an impatient manner...

I do not speak baby but I take it she wants to play? It seems this whole time Irina had been deciding which one to approach first, so when Issei got out of the picture with him getting distracted with Touji, who's currently doing his best impressions of an Ostrich, couple feet away; Irina used this opportunity to approach me...

Yare yare... You just can't say no to those eyes...

But...

I gave the girl a wry smile in response and felt myself break in cold sweat... As I mentioned it before, I'm not good with kids so I have no damn clue how I'm supposed to keep one entertained without ending up in the bad light with Shidou family...

I mean, in my past life, I even treated my brothers' two toddler nieces and one nephew like DOGS for (very dead) God's sake!

And the sad part of it was that our family dogs were the ones who at least obeyed and behaved when told to...

AN - That's a wrap!

Also thanks a million for all the suggestions regarding the Karma gear, you guys seriously roll! :D

I'm still open for any suggestion for the abilities, that was mentioned in the previous chapter:
- The MAIN rule for the Gear's ability is the 10 second delay factor that both Divine Dividing and Boosted Gear has.
- Secondary rule, optional though preferred; with that being me hoping that the SI's Gear's main ability has something to do with it's namesake, aka Karma.

That being said, please don't hesitate on anything that comes to mind! :D

So far two abilities from individuals that stood out the most for me were:

1) flameclawsxx's (His idea was actually incredibly close to what I too had originally in mind)

Make the Gear absorb attacks and have it release all the force gained in a single blow after boosting the power. Basically following through the rule of "Instant Karma" towards the people attacking the Gear's host.

To sum it up; it absorbs attacks and then multiplies them by 2 when it is sent back out, it can absorb actual physical force as well, just you would need to punch something to release that... this allows his balance breaker to be op as shit, as it basically makes him immortal while it is in use, but also really taxing on stamina.

2) Erandor's

Use the gear as a support/force multiplication.
Target a individual (call them A) and another individual (call them B).
Increase the power of B such that the power gap between them and A is halved (If B was weaker than A) or is doubled (if B was more powerful than A).
In latter forms of the gear B can include more than one person.

Effectively you would want A to either be the most powerful individual in the room or the weakest it would be up to our glorious protagonist to decide which would provide the greatest buff.
