Chapter 6: First Kiss Part One
"You have to figure it out yourself, Hime-sama." The words left by Izayoi, kept repeating in Rias's head ever since he told her that she stole his first kiss, and that was a few days ago. It was confusing to her that she stole his first kiss, cause she doesn't even remember she kiss him. If she had she would be with Izayoi, linking arms with him while the students of Kuoh Academy just stare at them with shock and surprise looks on their faces.
"Why can't I remember anything?" Rias mutters, frustrated that she couldn't remember anything about her and Izayoi first kiss.
"Buchou, is anything the matter?" Akeno asked looking at her in concern, watching Rias deep in thought for the past hour, and it slightly worries her.
"Huh?" Rias said shaking out of her thought, as she look up at Akeno in surprise.
"Buchou, are you alright?" Akeno asked in concern.
"No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something. And I thought I might just remember some details of it." Rias answered as Akeno raised her eyebrow at Rias.
"Thinking about what, Buchou?" Akeno asked as Rias smiled at her while she waved her hand in dismissal.
"It's nothing to worry about. I assure you." Rias assured her, as she look around the clubroom.
"Anyway, where is everyone?" Rias asked.
"Izayoi brought them out. He said he will be back by sunset. And he says that he will be borrowing Kiba and Koneko for a while." Akeno answered.
"Then, where is Issei? The other morning we had his psychical training with Izayoi training him." Rias questioned while she giggled.
"Issei must be having a hard time training with Izayoi, right?" Akeno asked as Rias nodded.
"It was, but it was amusing to see that Issei obey Izayoi's orders for his training." Rias said recalling Izayoi cracking his knuckles while Issei gulped in fear, and immediately do push-ups on the ground with tears in his eyes.
"Like another King perhaps, Buchou?" Akeno said remembering that Izayoi was the other King besides Rias.
"N-No. He's not the King. I'm the King of this peerage." Rias said with a tiny blush.
"Well, since you ask, Issei is currently being beaten by the girls from the kendo club, with his perverted friends as well." Akeno said as Rias shook her head.
"Um… Akeno?" Rias asked with a slightly nervous tone in her voice, as Akeno look at her in confusion.
"What seems to be the matter, Buchou?" Akeno asked as Rias look down, thinking if she should tell her about her first kiss with Izayoi. But then a plan formed in her mind, as she hoped that it would help her a bit about regaining some of her lost memories.
"How can I say this?" Rias said to herself while putting her finger to her chin.
"Buchou, are you referring your supposedly first kiss with Izayoi?" Akeno answered as Rias stiffen.
"Ara, ara. So it would seem that you were thinking about that for the past hour then? Why is that?" Akeno asked with a smile, while Rias blushed in embarrassment from being caught.
"Buchou, everyone had heard your conversation with Izayoi that night. Don't you remember?" Akeno asked as Rias blushed, forgetting that everyone in her peerage including the new member, Asia had heard about Izayoi saying she stole his first kiss.
"Well, I don't know how to say this… But I don't remember kissing Izayoi-kun. But why did he tell me that I did kiss him? I've been thinking to remember but I can't." Rias exclaimed.
"Well, Buchou. Izayoi told me this as a hint to remember. He knew that you wouldn't remember, so he gave me a hint before he went with Kiba and Koneko." Akeno said as Rias look at her.
"He did?" Rias asked.
Flashback…
"Akeno." Izayoi called out as Akeno look at him.
"I suspect that Rias would be thinking a lot because of it. And I know that she'll be thinking after this." Izayoi said as Akeno raised an eyebrow at his statement.
"You mean about her first kiss with you? Is that true, Izayoi? I don't remember anything about Buchou mentioning about her first kiss." Akeno answered as Izayoi smirk.
"Well, it's her choice to keep it a secret or not, long ago." Izayoi said with a laugh.
"Long ago?" Akeno repeated.
"Yeah. It was two year ago. Tell her that it was night at that time of year. And she was visiting her family at their household in the Underworld. If you tell her, maybe she'll remember it, maybe not. But I wouldn't worry about it too much. But since she wants to remember it, I'll give this hint to remember it. " Izayoi said as he look behind him to see Kiba and Koneko dressed in casual clothes, as they stood beside the school gates, waiting for him.
"The kiss was surprising to me than it was to her." Izayoi commented as Akeno raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Well, I'm going. I'll see you before sunset." Izayoi stated as Akeno nod. Izayoi then walked over to Kiba and Koneko, as the three then went out towards the city of Japan.
Present
"Two years ago? At night?" Rias said to herself while she thought over on what Izayoi's hints were.
"In the Underworld. At night…" Rias said as Akeno stared at her.
"Wait…" Rias said remembering something from her past.
Flashback…
"Rias-tan, give your Onii-san a hug, will you?" Sirzech asked spreading his arms out, while Rias stared at him in confusion.
"Onii-san, why would I do that? I'm a 15 year old girl. I'm a grown up." Rias said as Sirzech crossed his arms.
"Rias, brothers and sisters always hug. I mean in a few days you'll be going to your school. So, we have to do what brother and sister do." Sirzech said as Rias sighed.
"Can we do it tomorrow? It's night time anyways. And I just arrive yesterday." Rias said Sirzech sighed, but nodded.
"Okay. But be careful not to let the bed bugs bite." Sirzech stated with a smile.
"I will." Rias said with a yawn, as Sirzech walk past her and walked downstairs. Rias then walked inside her room, as she closed the door and look at her bed, to which she immediately lay on it with her back against the soft material.
Rias stared at the ceiling, as she closed her eyes and drift to sleep.
Present
With Izayoi
"Izayoi-senpai, why did you invite us on this? I was quite surprise when you invite us so suddenly." Kiba stated as Izayoi turn towards him.
Izayoi wore a grey long-sleeved hoodie, with black pants and black-white toned tennis shoes. Kiba wore a white stripe short-sleeved shirt, with blue jeans and white shoes. Meanwhile, Koneko wore a light blue hoodie, that had two white cat ears on top of the hood, she also a white short skirt, and leggings that reached under her knees, and black-white shoes.
"Why can't I invite some of my fellow club members to the city? Anyway, I have to buy some groceries along the way too. And maybe we'll get find something fun to do while we're at it." Izayoi said with a smirk as Kiba nodded in understanding, while Koneko stared at him with curiosity.
"Anyway, what were you and Buchou discussed with Issei yesterday? Issei-kun looked pretty confused." Kiba said.
"We've discussed about getting him to form a contract with someone." Izayoi said as he recalled the discussion earlier.
Flashback
"Susan said she can't express her feelings cause she's shy. So she wants me to make him to fall in love with her." Issei explained the situation to both Izayoi and Rias, who stood next to each other.
"Why doesn't she confess to him right away?" Rias asked.
"She said, she can't just do that." Issei answered.
"It's simple. How about a love letter, then?" Izayoi said with a smirk as Issei look at him.
"A love letter?" Issei asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yeah, a love letter might be a good idea, Izayoi-kun." Rias said with a smile.
"It's wonderful to convey one's feelings in writing." She said as Izayoi nodded in agreement.
"But what if she wrote like an official address?" Issei stated with a frown.
"It's all right. It's about the feelings that matters, not the form." Rias exclaimed.
"I'm not sure if that'll get the feelings across." Issei said as Rias look down slightly.
"Yes, it's not the form. It isn't… about the form." Rias said as Izayoi stare at her, sensing something was wrong with her.
"Rias, are you okay?" Izayoi asked putting his hand on her shoulder, as Rias shook out of her thought and turns to him.
"What? Izayoi-kun? It's fine, I'm okay." Rias said with a smile, while Izayoi look at her, knowing that something was wrong by the way she lied to him.
"Issei," Izayoi said as Issei turns to him.
"Did you forget your contract already?" Izayoi asked as Issei remembered his contract, and he immediately left with his bicycle.
"Izayoi-kun?" Rias asked as Izayoi turns to look at her.
"How do you feel about having a romantic relationship with someone you love?" Rias asked looking down as Izayoi look up at the sky.
"In a romantic relationship with someone I love…" Izayoi said as a smile appear on his face.
"Well, I would answer as feeling great about it. Because it's about being with someone you love, rather than being with someone you don't love." Izayoi explained as Rias look up at him.
"Right?" Izayoi said with a grin, turning towards Rias, who smiled and blushes from his words.
"Yeah." Rias said as she look at Izayoi with a happy smile.
Present
"Love letter?" Kiba asked to himself.
"Yeah. Love letter to express her feelings to her love." Izayoi explained as Kiba nodded in understanding.
"Hey, those two guys!" A girl said pointing her hands as she spotted Izayoi and Kiba.
"They're so handsome, especially that guy with the grey hoodie!" A girl said dreamily, while her friends behind her nodded in union.
"That girl is so cute! She's exactly my type!" A guy said to some of his friends, which nodded at him in agreement.
"I never thought we would attract anyone outside school." Izayoi said as he noticed some girls are staring at him with stars in their eyes.
"I agree with you on that, Izayoi-senpai." Kiba said as he waved to some girls, to which they respond by squealing in delightment.
"Anyway, Izayoi-senpai, when did Buchou stole your first kiss?" Kiba asked as Koneko nodded with him, the two were curious since he told them about it.
"Why the sudden question all of a sudden? Isn't this matter supposed to be me and Rias?" Izayoi asked with a slight smirk.
"Um…" Kiba asked blushed of embarrassment.
"We are curious about it, Izayoi-senpai." Koneko stated as Izayoi glanced at her.
"Well, if you two are so curious about it. I'll tell you about it. It's like a typical romance scene from your fairy tale book." Izayoi explained as Kiba and Koneko look at him, while Izayoi look up as a smile appear on his face.
Flashback…
"Bored… I'm so bored…" Izayoi mumbled laying on a tree branch, as he look up the night sky in the Underworld.
"Why did he summoned me here for anyway?" Izayoi asked himself as he sighed of boredness.
"Hmm…" Izayoi said as he closed his eyes for a moment, and then a smile formed on his face.
"Well, how about I visit the Gremory household then? I told him that I would soon visit his house." Izayoi stated as he jumped down the tree branch, and walked down the path where the Gremory household was.
"It's time to meet my soon to-be ojou-sama." Izayoi exclaimed with a smirk, as he disappeared from his spot, knowing the Gremory household appearance up close. At some time, he would sneakily go to the household to look at it from afar. And after some time of watching afar, he already memorized the appearance of the house itself, and memorized where Rias Gremory's room was.
"Here we are." Izayoi said to himself, appearing before the balcony of Rias Gremory's room.
Izayoi then raised his hood as to not let Rias recognized him, as he look up at the balcony. Izayoi then crouched down a little, and then jumped up, instantly grabbing to the ledge of the balcony, as he maneuvered his way up on the balcony.
He look at his right and then left, to see if anyone had noticed him or heard him when he jumped, but fortunately no one came to check. Because as it is, he did not want to cause any trouble than it should be. Defeating Sirzech was the least of his worries, but going against the Gremory family, as much as he would want to fight them as a family, it would make things worse.
Izayoi was about to walked inside, but then he stopped when he heard footsteps coming towards him.
"Wha?" A voice said as Izayoi look in front of him, as Rias's eyes widen.
So, how's the cliffhanger? Good? Great? Amazing? Or is it Bad? Interesting? Or... I don't know. But do you like the flashback of Rias and Izayoi first meeting? If so, review about it and let me know what you think about it. And thanks to the readers for your support by favoriting and following my Fanfic. And thank you very much for the reviewers, who reviewed my Fanfic. I appreciate it.
So if that's that, I'm gonna go, Jane! ArtLotus out!
