A/N First of all a huge thank you to those who read, favorited, and followed my first chapter and especially a giant thank you to those that reviewed: Gun Scythe, I may love or hate you, Yexcor, guest, S0UL-essen
I'm really sorry about the long delay, I meant to upload a lot earlier but with school starting again and an extra heavy load of SAT prep, life has been really busy and I haven't had much time to dedicate to writing this story. I might have to push back release dates but I won't discontinue this fic.
I didn't put this in the first chapter but I will put it here now. This story will NOT be a Rias, devil, or ORC bashing fic. They might have a very slightly shaky start but they will not be evil or bad guys. Sorry to anyone that wants the ORC in the harem but I really do not want the harem size to be too big.
This will be a rather fluffy chapter, I know after the ending of that first one this probably shouldn't be. This chapter will mostly be used as a setup to show how things are now and to put down basic personalities, traits, and how far Issei has come on his own since then. Near the end it'll be back to edginess and gore so don't worry, or do worry idk.

Chapter 1 : Just Another Day
Time Skip 12 Years:
FLASHBACK
"Gabriel-sama where are we going?" an 8 year old Issei said, asking the blonde women currently guiding the young boy through a pathway filled with nature, many trees, many flowers, animals of various species in happiness, and constant light without a trace of shadows to be found. Large plains filled to the brim with grass and flowers of many different colors were seen, taking up the area that wasn't cut through with pathways to lead a person to different parts of the field.
The scene was breathtaking, a view that could bring even the angriest and disturbed people to a moment of tranquility. The perfect spectacle that could bring the emotionless to tears. A place where evil died, goodness and justice thrived.
The lady known as Gabriel turned to the boy that was holding his hand and replied "To a peaceful place that I always go to when I want to relax and bask in creation of my father."
Issei nodded to this, for he was much more enthralled and interested with all the different things around him. The wonders and fruits of God's labor all within his view. Joy, life, peace, serenity, all these different attributes are what consumed the land. Not paying attention to where he was walking he continued to blindly follow the seraph to whatever destination she had planned for the 2 of them.
'He really is a child at heart, it almost makes me forget about what he went through before I resurrected him.' Gabriel thought sadly to herself as she led the broken child through the area.
Looking at Issei, she could see that he was at the moment truly happy, a good way to make up for all the time that he had spent sulking and crying. It was beautiful, a innocent child smiling their hearts out and living out their immature fantasies and dreams. This kind of sight brought a tender and heavenly smile to the angel's face.
The pair kept walking until eventually they got to a big tree that was tens if not hundreds of feet tall. It had great branches with leaves of many different kinds and shades. All a form of green, they varied from a light green to a deep emerald. Through the leaves were rays of light that passed by and illuminated the area. However, just enough was blocked that you could see all the small and minute details on the tree, but still be able to rest in the refreshing shade.
The roots were thick and very wide that went in all directions. They stuck out of the ground, making seats for anyone that felt like sitting down but didn't appreciate resting on the soft and cool grass.
"Welcome Issei to my safe haven of relief." Gabriel said once they reached the tree, snapping Issei out of his daydreaming state.
Looking around, completely unfamiliar of where he was he asked "Gabriel-sama, where are we right now."
"We are in the middle of the Garden of Eden, the original place for Adam and Eve to stay until they were tricked by Satan and casted out. This is a tree that God had planted here to symbolize life and sanctify this as sacred ground." She said as she took a seat on one of the many roots that acted as seats for whoever wished to rest under its shade.
Taking a seat on one of the exposed roots Issei questioned "Wait you mean the same place with the Tree of Knowledge, I thought this place was more of like a myth and even if it was real I thought only God could access it."
"Well things happen and certain Angels were allowed access, however not just anyone can come here, this is the fifth floor of Heaven. Only the pure and high ranking Angels can come without repercussions or without the help of those allowed entry." The angel responded endearingly as she remembered her heavenly father.
"Hehe, you always amaze me Gabriel-sama!" the small Issei squealed in Joy and excitement.
"Well stay the way you are and I'm sure you'll be in for more surprises." Gabriel said with a bright smile plastered onto her face.
Scene Break:
'It hurts, everywhere, It hurts so much. Why did this happen to me? I always did what was asked and tried to help those in need.' An angel thought painfully to itself.
The poor thing was currently nailed to a cross with 3 extra wooden stakes attached to the back of it horizontally. Not only was it hung by its feet and hands, but there were large spikes driven through its shimmering white and gold wings pinning it to the planks. The wings were in horrible condition, it looked like parts of it had been plucked, with many areas of it being full to almost completely barebone. It was bloody and many spots on the wings were tainted a deep crimson.
The large cross was in the middle of a white room with a large pool of blood gathering at the foot of it. Surrounding the cross were various tables filled with different devices and many different weapons.
The angelic being was covered in blood, much of it leaking through open wounds, ranging from shallow to deep slash and stab wounds. Many of their bones were broken and shattered in impossible ways. Bruises tattered their body like the stars in the night sky. The hanging angel was barely able to see, it's eyelids were almost completely shut with bruising and swelling covering up almost all of it's vision.
His throat was barren and dry, his crusted lips were wishing for a small sip of anything, not that it would ever come. Clothes were nonexistent, with only a small garment protecting his shame.
'This has been going on for so long, why can't they just let me die already, please kill me already, I don't want to suffer, What did I do wrong, I always followed their orders, no matter how horrendous or horrible, why…' The angel yelled in his mind, being unable to talk because his vocal chords had already run bare from the screaming he had done for many days.
Watching this scene unfold were several individuals with the same blonde hair and deep green eyes. Smirking almost as if satisfied with their work, looking at him as if he deserved every ounce of pain he received. Underneath him, was a masked figure with a black shrouded robe. Holding another object, ready to use the next method, each one more painful than the last.
FLASHBACK END
*GASP*
'Fuck, why did I dream of that again.' a teenager thought as he woke up in a cold sweat.
There lying on the bed was a boy of a slim but muscular build. His face was stunningly handsome and had a slight almost wild look to it. His hair was long, going to just below his shoulders, with spiky parts shooting out of the back giving him a kind of bad boy look. He had long bangs in the front that were brushed to the side but could easily hide both of his eyes if they were let down. He had heterochromatic eyes, one being a simple and common chestnut brown, while the other was a strange and captivating dark tone of red.
They teen only had a simple shirt with a large dragon design on it and striped pajamas on for clothes. He looked almost normal if you excluded his built muscles and different eye colors from the equation. That and the 4 women currently straddled to every limb on his body. Yes, there were at the moment 4 different women using his limbs as body pillows.
Looking down at the sleeping beauties he thought grinning to himself 'These girls really never do change no matter how much happens. 4 powerful beings that could slaughter many people and level armies were right here acting like little love sick chi-'
"Issei?" the 4 different girls cuddling with him had asked tiredly. Having been slightly jarred after he had slightly rumbled the bed after waking up from the nightmare
There were 2 girls on each side of him, the girls on his arms were drop dead gorgeous. One was a blonde haired girl with violet eyes and hair that reached her waist. To her side was a silver haired girl with a beautiful pair of hazel eyes. Both had a voluptuous body with a large buxom and a round rear to match. Smooth milky skin that was soft to the touch. However, on top of this they had perfectly slim bodies which perfectly contrasted with their otherwise large areas. Filling in their nightwear, stretching it in just the right places.
Just behind the 2 girls was another pair that appeared to be sisters. Both girls had a buxom figure, with full and wide hips. Slim bodies and plump thighs that would make most men stare. Soft and smooth lips to match. Perfect was the only way to describe their luscious frame. Their other features excluding their face and body shape, had stark differences. The girl to the left had dark red hair, reaching to just around the middle of her back. She had eyes that were the same color as her silky hair. Her bangs hung over the middle of her head, and any other loose ones were swept to their residing side.
The sibling to the right instead had a very clean and almost pure like white hair. Her hair went down to just beneath her rear and flowed down in the shape of a V. She had a beautiful set of an azure eyes. Her bangs flowed down the front of her face stopping just above the eyes. Except the ones that went down the middle, which went a little further down, halting just above her nose.
"Yes?" Issei had replied wondering what they were going to ask him now that they were awake.
The silver haired girl on Issei's right arm analyzed "You're sweating, and shook the bed frantically for a second, you don't do this kind of thing that often."
Raising his eyebrow in confusion, Issei brought his right hand and brushed it against his forehead to feel that it was moist. 'I can't believe those dreams still have this much of an effect on me.' he thought annoyedly.
Wiping the cold sweat that accumulated on his head, he responded "Vali don't worry about it, it's nothing trust me."
"Everyone here knows that's a damn lie no matter how much you wanna hide it, that and you're terrible at lying." the red hair on his leg suddenly expressed as her face started shifting to that of annoyance.
"Ddraig it's nothing, it's too small for me to include you guys on something like this."
"Nothing is too small for you to share with us, especially if you become like this over it, clearly it's something much bigger." The white haired girl voiced as she pointed at him accusedly.
"Albion can we please just drop this whole subject?" Issei pleaded with his hands in the air pleading innocence.
"Not happening, not over any of our dead bodies." the blonde haired girl said with a deadpanned look.
"Irina, not you too…" He groaned.
The four girls suddenly crawled up towards him and started glaring at him. They gave him a look that said 'say it now or we will force it out of you.' This caused Issei to sweatdrop quite a bit. Knowing how they can be, especially with their overprotective tendencies, he fully expected if they ever forced him, he would regret it dearly.
"Geez, fine I'll tell you okay, does that make you feel better." Issei relented as he lowered his hands and outwardly sidhed.
They nodded their heads at him and suddenly leaned in closer as if to be able to hear him better and show their concern.
"I was just having another nightmare on my past, it started with one that i'm fond of but suddenly it changed to one of the darker parts." he spoke grimly with a frown maring his handsome face.
This deeply troubled the girls, they knew how badly he was affected by all of this, the betrayal he had felt back then. He still had an unrelenting hatred that couldn't be quelled but only controlled. He was intensely scarred from the event, it had broke and destroyed the boy that was once kind and caring to all people no matter who, to something completely different. One that only showed that side to those closest to him.
Their eyes had softened at this. They proceeded to envelop him in a way that was meant to show that they were still there, that they always will be. A warm but soft silence covered the room.
Vali deciding to break the quiet to comfort Issei said "No matter what, we will never betray you and never leave you. We will always stay by your side and be there to support you with our whole being." the other girls agreeing with the statement, began to tighten the hug around him.
"Thank you so much, this means so much more than you will ever believe." he started while returning the embrace.
"Why do you guys even bother with someone like me." he asked while still buried in the supernatural pile.
"Eh what do you mean dear?" Albion asked incredulously as she raised an eyebrow at his statement.
"Well look at me, I'm so pathetic, I get so torn and emotional just from a small dream" To him this was weakness in one it's purest forms. Trauma, he feared something that happened so long ago, without it even being present most of the times. It was a sort of PTSD to him.
"Who ever said you were pathetic" Irina questioned him "I know we didn't" she said while looking at the other girls.
"If we really thought you were, do you think we would've stayed around as long as we have, and sacrificed this much for a pathetic excuse of a man" Ddraig said with a serious expression. She couldn't stand the weak and much less the pathetic. The ones that were weak and accepted that they were but didn't do anything to change or fix it.
"I don't know… That's why I'm asking you guys." Issei had said gently, as his voice was full of his feelings and he couldn't speak much louder unless he wanted to overload his sensitive mind.
Vali lightly head butted Issei while pouting.
"Ow, Vali what was that for" They were still in a group hug so he hadn't expected to be hit.
"For asking stupid questions. Baka you should know by now that we adore you so much…" Vali said while blushing and looking down.
"Issei we love you, we all really do." Irina said, giving him a peck on the cheek.
"She may be an idiot most of the time, but she's not wrong." Albion added before placing a chaste kiss on his forehead.
Ddraig not really knowing what to do, leaned over towards him and gave his face a lick. Pulling back she savored the taste while adorning a mischievous grin
"Ddraig what was that?! I thought we agreed to not get ahead of each other!" Albion yelled at her sister, glaring at the busty redhead.
"I swear you always have to try and one up with the stupidest shit." Vali said while shaking her head in annoyance.
Irina was not ready to be outdone, instead of saying something she copied Ddraig but instead of doing a small lick she made sure to lick a lean streak along the length of his face.
"Irina not you toooooo" Albion whined, while blushing as things were starting to take a turn for the sexual.
"You just tried to one up me didn't you Irina" Ddraig said, while having a blank expression on her face.
In return all she got was Irina sticking her tongue out at her like a child.
"Irina I swear to god you're such a dumbass" Vali sighed, seeing the situation unfolding.
"I will not be outdone..." Albion muttered, looking straight at Issei who at this point was awestruck at what turned from a serious talk to a contest of trying to outdo the other. She let go of the others and tackled Issei.
"BWAGAH" Issei groaned out after getting rammed into the wall by the dragoness.
Albion then positioned herself on his lap and began to have her way with his face and her tongue.
"GOD DAMMIT YOU TOO ALBION." Vali shouted, she quickly moved to Issei's side and started to lick him too.
To others rapidly followed in suit and soon enough, the four beauties were licking him all over. Issei was on cloud nine, the feeling of having their moist tongues dancing across his skin was glorious.
Eventually after several minutes of licking him they got tired of it and opted for just cuddling up to the now slippery and shiny boy.
After a few minutes of being in the comfortable and soothing position Issei suddenly said while removing himself from their grips and getting out of bed much to their dismay "Well I'll go make breakfast now, you guys might want to go take a shower after last night."
Two of the four girls blushed furiously, while one turned away and squealed in embarrassment, and the last one simply just reminisced on the memory with a dreamy look on her face.
Smirking at the reaction Issei walked out of their room and headed down a narrow hallways until he was met with a fully equipped kitchen. 'I better make something that will help revitalize them.' recollecting the previous evening with a slight pink adorning his face.
While Issei got busy on making food for the five of them, the other four listened to what he said and all went in to the shower room that including the showers and bath was far bigger than what was necessary. It could easily fit 10 people showering at the same time and still have plenty of space.
"This might be a sign for something…" Vali told the other girls inside of the steamy room with flowing water striking her smooth back.
"Why do you think that, and what are you even talking about?" Irina asked, confused from the statement from Vali, she hadn't really sensed anything out of the ordinary.
"I'm talking about Issei, when was the last time that he had a dream like this?"
Ddraig deciding to answer the question "It's been a year I think, at least from what I can remember, then again i'm never away from him." while she pumped shampoo into her hands.
"You were the only one there that time." Albion added on as she scrubbed down her body.
"It's not my fault!" Vali yelled back at the white haired beauty now standing with all of her private parts on full display.
"It's not mine either, all three of us were out on a mission form Azazel, remember?" Irina said while frowning, attempting to scrub out the stench of aged love off of her skin.
"Yeah I remember, that shitty ash crow just had to assign you guys out the one day Issei relapsed." Ddraig said sassily while rolling her eyes while running her hands through her hair, remembering their superior.
FLASHBACK
"Man that was refreshing." Ddraig said out loud, walking out of the bathroom in pajamas and a towel in hand patting at the damp spots in her hair.
Walking towards the room of her lover, she heard murmurs and the bed creaking. The sound of tossing and turning was also apparent.
'DAMMIT DID THEY GET BACK ALREADY, NO NO NO I WANT MY ALONE TIME WITH MY PRECIOUS ISSEI!" Ddraig thought in a panic, scrambling on her feet towards the door.
Just when she was about to kick the door wide open some of the whispers coming from the room begin to reach her ears.
"Please don't… Stop…. I didn't do anything… Why… Get away… I hate you… hate me…" those were the mumbles that came from inside the room.
Hearing this, she instead quietly opened the door and walked into a scene that tugged at her heartstrings.
In the room was Issei laying on a bed in an awkward position, with his limbs spread out in a way as if he just saw something terrifying. The bed was in disorder, with pillows all over the place, some to his side and some even on the ground. The blanket was tossed off of him towards his back. A look of terror and sadness was on the boy's face. His face was moist with tears while some slowly rolled down his cheeks.
This hurt Ddraig on a personal level, the hurt he had, she too felt. She wanted too soothe and comfort him. He would never be like this, when awake, when sleeping, in private, or even when he would pillowtalk.
Walking towards the distraught sleeping body she walked towards him and sad beside him. She softly patted his shoulder, causing him to stir. She kept at the motion but instead was rubbing his back this time to bring him some sort of relief while waiting. Soon enough Issei was slowly coming back to his senses. Groggily opening up his eyes and wiping at the water that was coming from them.
While he was doing this he felt a small warm sensation going back and forth across his back. His eyes quickly widened, he prepared himself in case anyone was there to attack him. Quickly scanning the room his eyes fell on the person that had been doing this. Calming down, he turned his body towards Ddraig, however his body was still tense from the nightmare.
"Ddraig what's up, finished showering?" Issei gave her a questioning look, trying to maintain a somewhat normal appearance while rubbing his face, trying to wipe away the weird feeling on his face.
"Yeah I finished a while ago, Issei what's going on." Ddraig answered back while still caressing his back.
"Nothing why?" Issei responded trying to play dumb with a very convincing confused look.
He would never let her know but he felt ashamed and embarrassed, he promised to be strong for her and the others but here he was crying and overreacting over a stupid little nightmare.
"Issei is it really nothing?"
"Of course it is."
"Then why is the bed like this, you don't toss and turn this much when you sleep." Ddraig told him, pointing this out like it was obvious. She had circled the room with her finger sticking out along with her outstretched arm, showing all the things that were out of the ordinary.
Whenever he slept no matter what, at most all he would do is if he wasn't already, he'd simply latch on and cuddle with one of the girls. Otherwise he for the most part stayed in whatever position he fell asleep in. This was a very liked trait as they wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night from random rolling.
"I must've just moved a little more than usual." Issei said, with a voice of confusion and unsurity.
'Dammit, out of all the times for me to be like this why now.' he thought in desperation, of all the times he was weak it had to be when Ddraig stepped into the room.
Sitting up and slightly shifting towards Ddraig, Issei hoped that she wouldn't pry anymore into this because he didn't want to worry her anymore then he probably already has.
"Issei, you can tell me anything you know that right?" She says with a soft tone.
"I know Ddraig, you always tell me."
"Then why won't you tell me this?" she asked him with a hardened glare.
"Because it's nothing that you need to worry about." he replied nonchalantly.
She knew that this would be the response that she would get. Whenever something bothered him he would always try to avoid the question and pretend like everything is okay when clearly nothing was. This irked her to no end, it was almost as if he didn't trust her enough to tell her what was bothering. This was almost like a slap in the face, someone that she loved and trusted with all of heart, wasn't willing to open their heart in return.
"Issei you know I hate it when this happens, just tell me already dammit." She said with concern filling her voice as her leg started to fidget in anxiousness.
"It's none of your concern Ddraig don't worry." His lip slightly quavered slightly as he said this, remembering part of his dream.
Him showing hurt or weakness was a rare occurrence even to those closest to him. He always tried to hide any pain from showing on the outside. Any sign or symptom that could give off any negative feelings he was able to hide. If he did show anything then it must affect him very badly for it to make it past his persona.
This didn't go unnoticed.
However it had hurt her even further, it was clear that he wasn't okay but he was still so stubborn and set on keeping all of this a secret.
"Do you not trust me, or not love me enough to tell me…" Ddraig quitely whimpered with small tears forming in her eyes. She tilted her head down towards the bed as she quietly contemplated as to why he would withhold something that pained him.
'Dammit this is exactly what I wanted to avoid, I can't not tell her if she's like this' Issei thought to himself in surrender. More than anything else in the whole world, he wouldn't mind getting tortured for eternity and going through pain for the sake of the people that were precious to him. To him they were the only people that mattered and anything but happiness wouldn't be good enough.
"Ddraig, that is as untrue as it gets, we both know that I trust you with my whole being and that I love you and the other girls more than anything else in the world."
"Then why won't you just tell me?!" She yelled with saline filling the corners of her eyes as her head snaps towards him.
"I don't want to burden you with my stupid issues more than I'm forced to." he admitted to her, surprised slightly by her outburst.
"Issei I thought we promised that me and the others would share and help to hold each other's burdens. Please let me do that now." Ddraig begged with the tears now falling onto her hands that were gripped tightly, the knuckles turning white from the force.
Sighing because he knew that any more denial would cause his lover to cry even more. "Alright do you want to know how I feel?" he reigned
Ddraig replacing the once wet eyes with newly found determined ones, nodded her head and focused as if what she was about to hear would change the foundations of the world. Wiping away the tears from her face with her arm, she looked at him with determination
Issei relaxed his tensed body and took in a deep breathe. He let out air from his lungs and an audible crack was heard. The same kind that would be made if a ceramic mask were to fall from a great distance and shatter on the ground.
*Thump*
Issei's head fell straight on to Ddraig's gifted bosom. His arms weakly wrapped around her tender body and pulled her in close to him as if she would get away if he were to let go. He softly sobbed into her chest as she reciprocated the hug and ran her hand through his hair.
'Issei…' Ddraig thought softly to herself. What she saw was something that she hadn't for a long time. She saw a broken and vulnerable boy that was weak for reasons she didn't yet know.
For several long minutes that felt like eternities, Issei stayed cuddled up to Ddraig, softly weeping. All Ddraig could do was to stay there and comfort him without breaking the silence.
With his head still pressed against her chest, sniffing, Issei softly croaked "Ddraig, what did I do to deserve this?"
With a curious look, Ddraig tilting her head slightly questioned back "What do you mean?"
"You were there…" He said with hints of fear seeping into his voice as he embedded his head into her chest.
"There for what darling?" Ddraig had asked genuinely confused.
"Angels…" He barely muttered in a hushed and muffled tone.
If you spoke about this race to her a century ago she couldn't care less and would probably just bat them away as some boring topic. A decade ago she would be praising them for saving her host and keeping the love of her life with her. But now, that one word was enough to bring out a great deal of anger.
The very term angered her to no end. Just the thought of the white winged hypocritical high horsed creatures would bring her into a near murderous rage. Should any unfortunate angel fall into her gaze, they would almost instantly be torn to shreds if no one was there to stop her from doing so. All they ever do is preach about senselss bulshit like values and virtues and not killing or harming others. Even though they're not afraid to do the same things they say that they're against. The all faithful idiots needed to get dropped down a level or two in their pride.
Her eyes hardened from anger and she clenched her fist tightly, remembering the cruel deeds they had done to her dear Issei. Her hatred and anger beginning to be released from every pore on her body, killer intent directed at the entire race of supposedly heavenly beings.
However, before her rage could grow too far to the point that it became uncontrollable, the feeling of wet droplets touching her breasts had brought her back to reality.
"Issei." She said gently, her gaze softening at the sight of her love.
"Yes?" Issei responded softly, keeping his head lowered, not making eye contact.
Removing her 2 arms from around his body she gently cupped Issei's face with her hands and lifted his head up so that they were even and looking at each other eye to eye. Ddraig's tender gaze meeting Issei's hurt and bloodshot one.
"I will never let that ever happen to you again, I promise to protect you from all the scum in this world. Especially from those shitty 'angels'." Her voice soft but becoming venomous when mentioning the race with her eyes turning reptilian before returning to their normal hue.
"Please never leave me…" Issei spoke quietly, sounding as if a single misplaced word would break his fragile soul.
"I will never leave you Issei, not ever like those false prophets that spew crap like loving your neighbor and peace. I will always stay by your side until the day we die." she said giving him a small but genuine smile.
Bringing his head closer to her she closed her eyes and brought her lips to his. Issei acting on reflex, also closed his eyes and met her half way where their lips connected. From this a long passionate kiss spurred from the duo. Issei as if trying to show his affection and love for the dragoness in front of him, began to kiss harder, dominating the moment between the couple.
Not wanting to be outdone, Ddraig tried to kiss back with the same intensity, but failed and instead melted into the intense session.
'Aaah Issei.' Ddraig moaned in her mind at the rough yet gentle way that Issei kissed her. Showing dominance but also showing his love and care for her.
Issei continued the kiss and lightly licked her bottom lip, asking for access inside. Allowing him by opening her mouth, Issei's tongue quickly rushed in and began exploring every inch and crevice of her sweet opening.
Ddraig started to breathe roughly as it became ard for her to in their position, Issei however paid no mind to this as he continued his work and forcefully swirled his tongue around hers. Ddraig began moaning into his mouth at the action, her arms snaking around his back to bring him closer, she wanted more.
Issei breaking the kiss while breathing heavily with a saliva trail linking them said "Ddraig I -" before being able to continue was immediately brought back to Ddraig's lips as she had used her arms around his back to pull him in and messily collided her face with his.
It was her turn now, she aggressively and forcefully shoved her tongue in his mouth as she decided to dominate this time. Issei chose to not fight back and let her rule his mouth with her greedy want. She licked all around as she danced in his mouth, making sure to hit every spot and to fill herself with the delicious juices contained inside of him.
Pulling apart after a few minutes of making out the 2 now looked at each other with love and passion in between their gazes.
Ddraig slightly blushing declared "I love you Issei, now and forever."
Smiling back at her with his cheeks the same tone he happily replied "I love you too Ddraig, now and forever."
After exchanging the heartfelt words they lied back down onto the bed embracing each other closely and tightly, never letting go.
Slowly but surely the lovers fell back asleep, cuddling each other so that neither could escape.
FLASHBACK END
'I swear to God if that bleach blonde perverted single mistake ever does that again, even if it's by accident I'll rip off his pathetic excuse for a man hood.' Ddraig thought darkly to herself
'Stupid horny redneck crow, because of him I couldn't be there for my precious darling.' Vali angrily thought when she remembered the incident.
Seeing a dark ominous glow coming from the 2 ladies, Irina and Albion decided to step in before they accidentally end up attacking their 'boss'.
"Guys, guys that was a while ago, let's calm down and finish showering so we can go eat breakfast with Issei." Irina said while waving her hands in a frantic manner.
"Yeah, Irina is right, let's stop before we end up destroying the bathroom, again." Albion said agreeing with the blonde.
However, the girls weren't listening and their auras had only grown darker and larger, encapsulating the entire bathroom.
Irina leaning over towards Albion putting her hand next to her mouth to hide it, whispered "Go put up a barrier, i'll go knock them out of their little tantrum."
Albion heeding her words, condensed her energy. She then casted a small concentrated barrier around the bathroom so that whatever ensues after this, won't destroy the whole Grigori.
Irina seeing this then summons 2 small magic circles next to her head. Out of them comes a small torrent of ice cold water aimed for the distracted women.
"KYAAAAHHHHHHH" They both screeched in unison.
Looking at the culprit that had doused them, they had now adopted a forced smile and an annoyed glare with their eyebrows twitching.
Slowly walking towards the poor blonde through grit teeth said "Irinaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
The now screwed blonde knowing what was going to happen responded with a simple but cheeky "Heh."
'I wonder what's taking the girls so long to shower' Issei thought to himself while putting some bread into a toaster.
*BOOM BOOM*
Facepalming himself he thought to himself with a sigh 'And here I thought that the day would be peaceful.'
Scene Break:
Now sitting at the table was Issei and the 4 girls now showered up and in casual attire. Albion with a long white dress that went down to just below her knees with small laces going over her shoulders and a bracelet that has a small charm with the letters IxA, Ddraig in a red tank top and tight fitted jeans and earrings with one side having an I and the other having a D. Irina was in a loose yellow shirt and shorts that stopped at her mid thigh with a ring on her right hand with the mark IxI, and Vali in a white shirt and beige skirt with a small denim jacket and a necklace with the engraving IxV.
Irina unlike the other girls had several bright red marks in the shape of a hand imprinted on her cheeks.
Issei was changed into a black long sleeve and combat pants, with an apron covering the front of most of it.
Issei having already eaten, watched the girls eat the food he had prepared with Ddraig and Vali sending the occasional death glare at Irina, while she simply just smirked it off.
'The hot heads, the elegant, and the idiot, sounds about right.' Issei thought grinning to himself, remembering the nicknames that he occasionally used when greeting them to someone for the first time.
Vali breaking away from the routine of glare was suddenly replaced with child like excitement and quickly asked "Issei after this can we spar?"
"Sure, as soon as you finish we can go head over to the arena."
Her eyes now sparkling, she quickly gulped down the last of the bacon and eggs that was sitting on her plate.
"I'm done~~~" She cooed as she placed her plate down, now ready to fight.
"Alright, but first, how about you guys, do you mind me and Vali training." Issei asked as he picked up their plates.
In turn they plainly shrugged their shoulders, not caring for what the outcome was.
"Well let's go then, Irina you'll be a spectator as usual I take it?" Issei said turning his head towards the beauty.
"Yup, the same as usual." she responded in a small smile with her usual ring.
Gathering the dishes he placed them in the sink before making his way back to the table.
"Let's get started then." On command, everyone had huddled around him.
Closing his eyes, Issei gathered a large amount of energy from within and suddenly expelled it while chanting "Forbidden Arts: Desolate Coliseum!"
A large magic circle appeared on the floor and encircled the group. Different kinds of runes and ancient characters decorated the black and red circle. A bright light filled the room, within the blink of an eye the 5 were now in a coliseum.
The coliseum was absurdly big, It was hundreds of feet wide in all directions and was in the shape of a dome. It was held up by various stone pillars and had an almost roman like touch to it. There wasn't a ceiling to cover the area and from the tall walls were many different banners of many colors and many designs.
"I'll never get tired of that." Irina said with a grin.
"Alright everyone to your normal positions, oh Ddraig i won't be using you this time so you can go ahead and sit with Irina." Issei commanded
Everyone listened to his directions and did as they were told.
Vali was confused by Issei sending away Ddraig, he always used her when they were going to fight.
'Maybe he's not taking this as seriously, Well I'll just pummel him until he does.' She thought triumphantly.
Vali now having a battle crazed face, her face contorting to all sorts of excitement and thirst for fighting. "Maybe I can beat you this time Issei, you're not even using Ddraig, this should be easy." Vali said with a feral smirk.
"Maybe just maybe you can, and I wouldn't think that if I were you" he simply responded
This threw Vali in for a small loop, what did he mean by that? Sure with Ddraig he was leagues more powerful than her but in his normal state as long as he wasn't going all out, even she could beat him, that much she was sure about. Even then he would never go full out in a spar so that was highly unlikely. He has something planned but what.
After their small exchange of words Issei went to one side of the arena, then Vali and Albion went to the opposite side. Vali once getting to the end of it, putting her hands her on hip asked "Albion ready to go?"
"Yes partner, let's do this."
"Alright!" Vali putting her hands on her hips closed her eyes and took a deep breathe in and exhaled out. Taking it as a que she then said "Balance Breaker."
Albion becoming a wisp of white light quickly flew towards Vali. The light encapsulated her, with it becoming much brighter, filling the arena with it. Once the light downed down, Vali was no longer there, but a battle ready war torn monster suited in a armor. The armor was a bulky pure white armor. The helmet having all sorts of edges and blue gems adorning many different parts of it. 2 white wings were extended from the armor suits back, while the top of them were white and metallic, the actual wing like parts were rather blue energy constantly emitting magic particles.
Issei seeing this, stood there unfazed and just put his hands in his pockets, readying his plan of attack.
'Without Ddraig I guess this'll be a good time to test my new abilities and spells that I created and found.' Issei thought to himself excitedly, finally being able to test them out.
A new voice now boomed through the arena and said "All combatants are now ready, the fight will start in 3…"
On the first count Issei took his hand out of his pocket and Vali took her hands off of her hips, both now getting into the zone, adopting a more serious look.
"2!" they began getting into stances, the opponents looking as if they were about to pounce on each other the second that the countdown finished.
"1!" Putting pressure on his feet, Issei was ready to launch himself right at her, as well as Vali as she readied her wings to fly straight into combat.
"BEGIN!"
At this second both sides were propelled towards each other at breakneck speeds. Disappearing for a moment before reappearing clashing, fist into armored fist. Their momentum completely halted.
Using this as an opportunity Vali shifted her weight and attempts a kick at Issei's ribs. Issei predicting this catches her leg and punches her in the stomach, then slams her into the ground.
Vali not letting up for a moment quickly gets to her feet and sweep kicks Issei, throwing him off balance before punching hard in the solar plexus, sending him skidding a few meters.
"Not bad Vali, you're starting to fight a lot like me now." Issei exclaimed while raising his arms in a defensive like position.
"Thanks babe but i'm not quite done yet." Launching herself at him once again, they prepared to trade blow.
{DIVIDE}
Issei getting noticeably slower and Vali getting significantly faster, she is able to make contact first and then follows it with an uppercut to his chin sending him into the air.
To keep the momentum of the fight she then quickly dashes from behind him disappearing in a silver blur and kicks him in the back before appearing once again and putting her hands together, in one fluid motion bashes him into the ground. Dust flying into the air where he crashed into.
Underneath the helmet she smirks knowing that with everything she did including the divide, in his base form there was no way he could come out unscathed.
Just like she thought, when the dust dissipated, in its stead was a small crater with a kneeling Issei dabbing at his mouth.
'It's really hard fighting her without the Boosted Gear, and only in hand to hand combat. I'll have to take this up a notch and power up a bit, I underestimated how hard this would be without Ddraig.' He relented shaking his head at his own stupidity and slight arrogance.
Still kneeling he flares up his power, his aura then began to grow around him. The aura slowly started to take a definite a shape, hardening it began making a protective black armor around him.
Vanishing from sight he appears behind Vali, sending a hard kick into her side just below her floating ribs. Causing her to be hit back before backflipping in air to regain her composure. Seeing the new armor on Issei she suddenly gains a slight a wariness 'Does he have some trick of his sleeve.'
{Watch out partner, even though he isn't taking this seriously that armor is something else. Like the way Touki uses the user's nature energy, this armor seems to be used from his pure aura. This means that at any point he can most likely change its shape or even take it off or on at will. Be careful} Albion pointed out as she was observing the energy flow of Issei, and it had suddenly changed from a calm and controlled aura to something deep and erratic.
'Thanks Albion, I'll keep that in mind' She now had to tone down her attacks and needed to think them out more carefully before rushing in.
Irina and Ddraig in the stands, while also being intrigued in the new armor, it was for a completely different reason.
Instead of having a shocked and surprised face, it was instead ones of lust and want.
'He looks so cool.' Irina thought in excitement while fiddling with her hair between her fingers
'Hehe That's my partner for you, I can't wait until he's done with this battle.' Ddraig thought in pride and some hints of lust seeping through with her thighs rubbing against each other in excitement.
Launching himself at Vali, Issei punches Vali in the abdomen before kicking her in the head and then lifting his leg up and bringing it down on her. As she's sent away a white blast comes flying towards Issei.
He tilted his body to the side completely dodging the blast. Seeing this she began to send vollies of energy balls towards him, every once in a while she would send a large shockwave to try and force him into one of her numerous attacks. Constantly changing the velocity of her attacks with some traveling slowly with others traveling at speeds that rival light itself.
Issei flew towards her while threading and weaving through the relentless assault. Reaching her he kicks her hard in the stomach to stop the barrage before quickly backing up, sensing an energy increase.
'Seems that balance breaker isn't enough to beat him as he is.' She thought in amusement, happy to see that he wasn't able to be beaten by her weakest transformation.
{Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker Mk. II}
The armor on Vali suddenly shifted into one that was much more light. The armor now conforming to her body, it closely hugged her body with the same jewels still shining on her armor. However some parts of her armor were now missing and exposing her well toned stomach and her plump thighs, with strips of armor going along their sides.
Sending another blast towards him, instead of dodging he simply backs hands it out of the air.
Vali smirking because this was exactly what she needed.
{DIVIDE X10}
This drained a large amount of Issei's power, causing his armor to crack and crumble. His armor then turned back into a black aura and receded within his body.
'Ah I forgot she's able to do that with her other forms, let's try something else.' He thinks in amusement while cracking his hand as this was only a test and there was plenty he wanted to try.
Issei suddenly hovered towards the ground. Reaching it he raised his arm and snapped his fingers.
Out of thin air dozens of small fire dragons appeared.
"Incinerate." Issei commanded the various spirits.
Reacting the instant the order was given, the different flame dragons started flying at Vali from various different angles, shooting small balls of fire at her.
'Since when could he do this, isn't this a little bit much?' Vali thought in shock as she saw the many dragons shooting fireballs of different sizes, shapes and speeds all at her from different places.
Moving out of their line of view and away from the many fire attacks directed towards her, appearing behind one she jabbed at it, hoping to destroy it. Instead what she got was an explosion that was powerful enough to daze her.
'What the fuck, these little shits explode too?' She thought incredulously with her blown back from the surprise attack.
"You better watch out, these guys explode if you try attacking them up close." Issei shouted he said cupping his hand around his mouth to make she heard it even though he clearly didn't need to.
"I can tell asshat." she muttered under her breath while gritting her teeth in annoyance.
Having an idea she suddenly flew high into the sky. Twirling when she was significantly higher than any of the dragons, blasts of white and blue energy feel from the sky and crashed into the ground.
'This will get them.' She thought in victory as she continued her assault.
But much to her surprise and chagrin, instead of being hit they swiftly evaded and maneuvered between the blasts, occasionally shooting some of them down with their own fire.
Seeing what was happening she stopped her attack and looked towards Issei in annoyance, "Are you kidding me, they can dodge like that too?"
"Well why would I make it so that they can be destroyed so easily." he asked sarcastically, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Fine have it your way."
Vali bringing her arms to her arms and extending them by her side, {Half Dimension} She chanted, large amounts of energy beginning to distort reality.
After a few moments of casting the fire dragons disappeared and the arena was back to how it was, moments before they were summoned, well everything was normal except the many craters that were now indented into the ground.
"Oi, Vali that's dangerous what if someone other than me was here, what would've happened to them.' Issei yelled at her, as he was very far away from her current position.
Yelling back she cupped her mouth "Well that's their problem, they shouldn't even be here in the first place when we're fighting"
"Well I can't disagree with that." Issei grinning to her statement, he continued "Still I didn't think you would get desperate enough to have to pull out one of your trump cards for little dragons."
Vali flew closer to him because she didn't want to keep yelling if it wasn't needed.
"Oh bite me, they sure as hell may be small but they pack a punch and you know it." She said sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
"Maybe you've lost your touch and you're just weaker now." Issei said while looking towards the space with his finger on his chin, as if he had just figured out something that he had been stuck on.
Hearing the jab, a vein on vali's forehead appeared. Vanishing from sight she appeared with a strong unexpected punch to Issei's solar plexus sending him flying into the stadium walls, making a ripple appear in them.
Climbing out of the imprint in the wall Issei muttered under his breath "Well that was just a dick move…"
Issei not wanting to drag out the fight for much longer decided to get serious.
"Emissary Arts: A Messenger's Haste"
Upon activating the spell the space around him began to distort and a thick dark aura encapsulated his body, before seemingly disappearing. Issei seemed to simply stand still. Vali just looked in wonder as to what the spell did, putting up her guard she started focusing until she suddenly felt a large force hit her from the back. Getting flung a good distance, she looks back only to see Issei once again standing still with his hands pocketed away.
'Was that an afterimage of him, since when did he get so fast?' Vali thought in amazement and utter confusion.
She once again gets hit in the back but instead of letting her simply fly away from the impact, Issei starts to dash around hitting her from all different directions, using her momentum as a way to deal more damage.
Cracks began to appear in her armor from the relentless onslaught. {Vali at this rate we won't be able to win.} Albion said matter of factly, even she could barely keep up with his movement.
''I know that but what else can I do, I can't even see him.' she angrily mentally said to Albion, how could she possibly touch him if she couldn't even follow his movements.
Flashes of light continued to appear around her, and whenever it flashed was several more hits in completely different areas. She began to pay attention to where he was hitting when it came to discerning where he would hit and how he would move.
' I got it, he'll appear in front of me after five more cycles.' She believed she had figured out his pattern she got ready to start her counterattack
On the fifth flash, taking the brunt of the assault she quickly jabbed in an attempt to make some kind of contact with Issei. Instead she was met with thin air.
'What?! I thought he would be there.' Her predictions were always accurate and whenever she had a read on the way someone fights, it would be easy for her to counter and dismantle their fighting style.
Unbeknownst to her this was the very opening that issei needed to end it.
In one final move Issei appears underneath sends a quick put powerful jab to her stomach, he then grabs hold of Vali's legs before shooting towards the ground and slams her straight into the hard floor. The move shatters most of her armor with her being dazed after the absurdly hard impact. Issei now held a fist right above her face ready to strike.
"That's enough for now Vali." Issei said while lowering his arm and getting off of her with a shit eating smirk.
Exhausted from the beatdown, she simply gave a thumbs up as she slowly got to her feet and dispelled the last of her armor. The armor turned back into white aura and went behind Issei condensing until Albion reappeared.
Vali's clothes now had various rips, wrinkles, and tears throughout the fabric. Her jacket now missing a sleeve and her skirt having a large tear through the side of it.
Albion taking shape behind the brown haired boy she quickly hugged him from behind and softly whispered in his ear "Issei I hope you didn't forget what you promised me, also you didn't have to beat up Vali so much"
Issei realizing what she meant suddenly said "I didn't forget, and I wanted to test some new things out, I didn't expect these kinds of results" Suddenly he summoned a few magic circles and out of them appeared Irina and Ddraig who were watching from the stands. "Guys we're going shopping, if you don't mind that is."
Getting squeals of excitement for an answer he smiled happily at them. "When are we going darling?" Ddraig asked with stars in her eyes as despite her being a heavenly dragon she still loved to shop and buy just like anyone else.
"Right after Vali fixes her clothes, then we'll head out."
"On it right now." Her clothes glowed before losing their shine and in its place were the clothes as if they were brand new. Not a single scratch or wrinkle was found on the multiple layers.
"Now that we're ready let's go back to Tokyo" Issei said before activating a small rift beneath them.
The atmosphere around them began to be sucked in and started to wrinkle, Cracks appearing in their surroundings until everything shattered. The colosseum now gone, the group was now back in their kitchen.
Going up the stairs they went back inside of Issei's room with a small magic circle on the wall. Issei giving the circle a small touch, they all suddenly reappeared into another room more simple and less decorated. Simple furniture and not much space to speak of.
Exiting the small room, they were now outside and began walking towards the shopping district. Distracting themselves the 4 girls talked among themselves while being led by Issei in the front, alternating holding onto his arms.
Reaching the district they were instantly met by an expensive looking shop with many different dresses and accessories being put on display, being made out of very expensive fabrics and real gold.
"Let's go in there Issei!" Irina said excitedly, pointing towards the extravagant store while roughly tugging on Issei's shirt
Nodding to the excited blonde, Irina quickly rushed into the store, not too far in front of the following girls.
'This may take a while and a good amount of money.' Issei thought while scratching the back of his head, 'Good thing Azazel set me up with an unlimited card or else I'd be screwed with the amount of money I spend on these girls.'
Slowly following behind them he entered the shop to see them all spread out checking out different items with several already in tow.
They proceeded to then try out several different outfits while trying to outdo each other to impress Issei, ranging from casual to formal. Let's just say that what Issei was able to see, most men would give up their testacles to have the same personal fashion show.
(A/N: Not gonna lie I would probably give up a lot more for something like that…)
With no one winning his vote for who was best they ended up just buying all the different clothes they tried on.
Walking out of the store and further into the district with Issei carrying several bags in each hand, they eventually land on a small restaurant.
"I heard this place had some pretty good steak, let's stop by here and have a bite to eat before going." Issei said while opening and holding the door for the girls.
Nodding to his words and going along with his gesture of kindness, they all give him a peck on the cheek while going through the door and entering the restaurant. Following as they all enter he goes to the front of them to meet the seater.
She was an average height with long black hair down to her mid thighs and purple eyes, this included a simple red button up along with a black tie. She also wore black pants and simple dress shoes.
"Hello, how many people are with you." the black haired girl said with a slight blush as she saw Issei.
'Oh my God he is really cute.' she thought quietly to herself, with a quick glance at the people with him her interests were quickly crushed as she couldn't compete with people like that.
"There are 5 of us." Issei replied nonchalantly, not noticing the interest the waiter had in him.
Grabbing several menus and cutlery wrapped in napkins she leads them to a boothe and they each slide in with Issei sitting in the middle of Vali and Irina, and across from them were Albion and Ddraig. She places the menus in front of them and says "I'll be back in a few minutes to take your order." walking away from them the group goes to look for something to eat.
With the girl walking away they all look at their menus, except Irina and Vali lean VERY close to Issei and look at his instead. Albion and Ddraig wanting to also have some sort of physical contact with Issei stretch their legs across the table and lock legs with his.
Issei sweat dropping at their antics pretend to just ignore it and treat it as something normal.
Somehow making it through each other's attempts of passive aggression they all eventually figure out the kind of steak they want.
The waiter comes to the scene of Vali and Irina squashing poor Issei between their mounds called breasts and Ddraig and Albion simply just watching them fight over his affection.
Just shrugging off their actions as just some possessive women, while also pitying the poor boy she takes their orders before grabbing their menus and walks away to place it in the kitchen. God knows interfering there would only lead to a lot of screaming and rowdy behavior.
The group continued their grab for attention but before long the waiter had come back and placed their various steaks in front of each person.
"Enjoy your meal." she said before leaving again to go check on another table.
Irina and Vali now letting go of his arm to now eat the food quickly dig into their meal.
"How do you like the food?" he asked them after they all took their first bites, having yet to take his.
"It's very good" Albion responded with a smile as she began slicing off her next piece.
"Ish vewy guuod" Ddraig said with her mouth filled to the brim of food.
Vali and Irina didn't even bother to respond as they were far too busy eating to listen to him.
Deciding to take his first bite, Issei cuts a piece of his steak off and puts it in his mouth. 'MMMMMMMM It's so goooooood!' He exclaims in his mind with his eyes now glittering.
Looking around he sees Ddraig consuming the poor piece of meat at inhuman speeds, 'I know she's a dragon but can't she have some manners.' he sighs at her antics and unwomanly display.
"Ddraig you shouldn't eat like that, you'll choke." he said while pulling her plate away from her.
Chewing the rest of the food in her mouth she looks at him confused and slightly annoyed because he had just taken her precious steak away from her. Glaring at him that promised pain if he didn't return the food back to her.
"Oi don't look at me like that, I just want to show you something." he then cuts a piece off the steak into a bite size piece and sticks his fork into it before putting it in front of her. "C'mon eat it, say ahhhhhh." he said while pushing it towards her mouth.
The other girls at this point had now stopped eating their own food and had their mouths gaping open as they saw the tender moment between the two, Ddraig now the darkest possible shade of red bashfully opened her mouth and bit the steak off the fork, savoring the fact that he had just fed her.
"A lot better this way isn't it." issei said with a tender and knee weakening smile.
Seeing this she blushes even harder and hides her face in her hands in embarrassment and simply nods to his question.
'Geez she really is so cute.' he thinks dreamily of the maiden in front of him.
Seeing this interaction the others push their plates towards him.
Raising his eyebrow at them, they say with jealousy apparent in their tone "You fed her now feed us too," Irina says angrily while pouting at him, puffing her cheeks up.
"What she said." Albion agreed nodding her head to her demand.
"It's only fair, right Issei." Vali urged with puppy eyes that would make any person drop whatever they were doing to carry out their request.
'What have i done.' he contemplates to himself internally punching himself at his blatant mistake.
At this point the group had 'surprisingly' got the attention of the whole restaurant on them. There were mixed feelings among them. Many of the women were greatly envious of the girls as they had the by far the most handsome and some might say angelic man feeding them. The men for the most part also felt envious, but for the opposite reason, some pretty boy was feeding hot women steak. In their eyes he was taking all the prized women for himself and leaving normal people with none.
Issei sensing the stares of jealousy and admiration quickly gives in and individually feeds each girl a piece of meat. Each one having a similar reaction, decide to instead of going back to eating it themselves, they stay where they are and open their mouths, Ddraig now joining in with the rest of them.
Knowing what they want, and also knowing that they won't stop until they get it, he just sighs and feeds every single of them while feeling the stares bore holes into his back.
The women now seemingly satisfied lean back into their seats and after paying the bill they all leave casually as if nothing happened.
Exiting the restaurant they all began walking home and towards a park until, "Hey bud why don't you leave your lady friends here and we'll let you get off the hook free of any pain. Seems like a pretty good deal if you ask me." A thuggish men says with lustful eyes, him and his friends surrounding the group, all of them eyeing down the girls.
"I don't mind leaving my wallet, but you will not touch any of them." Issei says calmly but on the inside he was beginning to boil.
Thinking that it was a waste of time to talk to Issei, the same man turned to Irina and said "Why don't you leave this hunk of shit and hang out with some real men."
Irina glares at them and angrily responds "This 'Hunk of Shit' is more of a man than any of you will ever be." with her arms crossing over her chest
"Lookie here boys, we have a feisty one, you won't be talking like that anymore once we're through with you. You'll learn to talk like a proper woman, while inhaling semen like water." the man said with glee as he squealed like a filthy pig.
The men snorted in laughter and were gleeful with the thought of all the things they would soon be able to do. The only thing stopping them at this point was the pretty boy trying to protect girls far to good for him.
"Well it's time to deal with your little boyfriend over there, see if we can come to a little agreement." the man steps towards Issei, measuring him up, he then slaps him and spits in his face. Issei however doesn't react to this whatsoever, he just attempts to keep his raging anger under control.
"Wow he really is pathetic, he's not even going to do anything. Well boy, if you go now then we will spare you from anything else." The man said all high and mightily as he talked down to the raging inferno that was Issei.
Issei didn't budge and stood his ground not moving a single muscle.
"Wow, just wow, you could save yourself and just leave your friends behind, isn't that a fair deal?" Issei still not moving, the man continued "Wow I feel bad for your parents, they must be ashamed to have such a pathetic kid." he snorted laughing at what he thought was such a great joke, the other men following in suit throwing more and more insults about his parents.
Issei's eyes widened at the remarks, a new wave of anger coming over him.
Vali becoming enraged at the insults yells "DON'T YOU DARE INSULT HIM." She had toned down her strength to that of a human and punched him really hard in the face. Blood starts running out of his nose as he stumbles back from the brute force in the hit.
"YOU FILTHY BITCH." the man then raises his arm to punch her, as he is about to do so Issei appears in front of Vali and catches the hand that was thrown towards her.
"Don't you dare try to touch her." Issei quitely growled, his eyes changing from their normal hazel and red color to a deep emerald green, with his irises slitting to become reptilian like. Issei instantly created a magic circle within the vicinity so that no one could interrupt them or escape.
Issei began glowing and a magic circle had been created over the man and quickly went down encapsulating his whole body. After a second of when nothing happened, the magic circle and light disappeared and right when the man was going to taunt Issei, he suddenly started to expand. His body expanded at an alarming rate with huge bubbles appearing under his skin until it grew to be bigger than him. He was now screaming, with in an instant it stopped, but what replaced the silence was the sound of muscles and bones being ripped apart and an explosion of the top half of his body. All that was left was his waist and legs splattering on the floor with blood pooling out.
The rest of the men were shocked at what happened to their leader. They looked at Issei who now had a sadistic grin plastered on his blood soaked face.
"You bastard!" one of the men snapping out of the daze quickly went for his switchblade and lunged immediately at the brunette who seemed to be enjoying the situation to the fullest.
Knowing what the man was going to do, he simply side steps the lunge and made his hand as if he was karate chopping and brought it down right next to his arm just above the elbow. The next moment a small magical circle appeared on his arm where Issei had seemed to miss. Disappearing, his arm was separated into 2 different pieces with it being split where the magic circle was.
The man fell back and began screaming, clutching his now limp arm as it bled out of the stump. Seemingly in the next moment another circle seemed to appear around his neck, with it disappearing, his head became separate from the rest of his body. Blood squirted out the same way that a water gun would spritz its contests when the trigger was pulled.
Issei then quickly rushed forward, using his hands he grabbed two different men by their throats and with a small tug, easily ripped it out without much effort. He then dashed to the side to avoid the man that attempted to tackle him, and quickly moved behind him and using his arm as a spear, impaled the man through the back, coming out of his stomach. Issei then abruptly took it out while grasping onto something when his hand was inside him, his arm then came out with the man's intestines being held in Issei's iron grip with it drooping to the ground as it was still connected.
The view before them completely shocked the girls. What they saw was a scene out of a horror movie. The deep crimson liquid pooling onto the now colored ground, the sadistic smile adopted by Issei as he was covered with the very same substance from head to toe. Barely any parts of him was kept from the blood shed. But something that they hadn't seen in a long time, was the endearing look that he had. It was the same face that was used when a child did something that it loved, like playing a video game with a friend.
But now the smile had been forged off of the gruesome and overtop murder of the men. What's more was the amount of joy he took from slaughtering them like livestock, This was not the same man that they had loved and agreed to share, this wasn't the same kind hearted boy that would sacrifice everything for his loved ones. This was a monster, a being forged by hatred and pain.
At seeing the gruesome deaths of his friends the last man when trying to run away tripped on himself and fell backwards. Now gaining the attention of the enraged dragon his pupils dilated and began to rapidly twitch as he screamed for his life. Issei walked towards him before coming to a stop in front of him. Seeing the man paralyzed in fear he latched on to his right arm before suddenly ripping it from its socket. The fear was now replaced with agony as the tear wasn't clean, their were muscles torn and exposed and blood shooting out like fireworks on the 4th of July.
"What a wonderful sound you make, music to my ears." Issei laughed darkly while keeping the same dark grin that had been sewn on to his soaked face, "Now where shall we go from here, should we tear you limb from limb or stay for the long haul… hmm… decisions decisions…"
"I know, let's start with the opposite leg." As he said this he then did the same with his arm and tore his left leg off of his waist.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!" Issei began to maniacally laugh as the screaming brought him great pleasure.
Having seen enough and deciding that the man should be put of his misery, Irina sent a light spear that impaled his head, ending his life. Looking back towards Issei, hoping that it would snap him out of it, she was rewarded with nothing.
Issei was still hysterical as his high had not yet subsided and was still raving over the chaos.
"Insolent weak pests, how wonderful to slaughter the weak!" he shouted in glee.
Abion snapping out of her stupor first, quickly rushed to the boy and pulled his soaked form into a tight hug. Issei feeling the sudden weight stopped laughing and looked down to see a mound of white hair pressed into his chest. Albion then looked up, tippietoed and placed a chaste kiss on his lips, putting forth all of her feelings in it, hoping that it would be enough to bring him back from his craze. She closed her eyes focusing all of her effort to try and calm him down, not caring about the blood that was now her clothes.
Nothing had seemed to happen with him just looking at her blankly, his crazed eyes pouring into her soul.
Before she knew it, she had been blown back by a strong force, sending off of him skidding on her feet. Looking up to see at what just happened. In front of her she saw a cloudy black aura forming when Issei stood.
Focusing on him, she adjusted her eye sight to see his magical power. What he saw was an enormous amount of swirling energy around his figure reaching up towards the sky. His physical features and appearance had begun to change too. His face began to harden with his muscles becoming more defined. Armor began to appear around his body taking shape and becoming physical. He was now adorned with a gold chestplate that appeared to have taken shape to his body and conforming to his chest and abs and went over his shoulders down to his hips. Gold plates were conjoined and tied around his waist with a black color going through and forming a cross town the middle of it. Gold leggings and boots equipped with many gems going down the length from his thighs to his feet. On leggings was the image of a sword and shield outlined with ivory. (A/N pretty much typical ancient greek armor with a color twist)
His face was now covered by a helmet with layers of Gold and silver that covered the entirety of his head, except for two slits cut in for the eyes and mouth. (A/N For reference this is a Corinthian helmet with Gold and silver instead of bronze)
Seeing the serious situation at hand Albion decided that now was a emergency and that she had to go with the last resort if Issei began to go mad. Grabbing her bracelet she focused some magic into it. The bracelet suddenly escaped from her wrist, and it began to float with a black abyss appearing in the space within it. She quickly reached her hand into the dark space and pulled out a cross.
The cross was pure black with metal lining the outside. There was a shiny red gem in the middle and multiple cracks throughout the object. It had a gold trim in the middle of it and had a blackened half halo on the very top.
Pulling the cross close to her chest while closing her eye she began to chant…
"Oh Distraught Messenger."
Upon hearing these first lines Issei's body froze in place, with his magical reserves stunting and not growing any further.
"You have toiled and weeped for long"
The black hue surrounding him had begun to dissipate.
"You have traveled far and know not of where you are"
His visible magical powers began to decrease and the pressure exuding from him began to lighten.
"For you are the messenger that brings Justice to the Wicked"
His armor began to disappear off his body as if it wasn't there in the first place
"Are you not the one called upon when times are in despair, when there is suffering is it not you that slays the evil and persecutes the foul"
His facial features began to soften with his eyes returning to their natural tone.
"I know of your struggles and cries"
All of the changes that had happened at this point had been undone, and he was outwardly back to normal.
"I shall give you rest for my yoke is easy and my burden is light"
His eyes began to close while fluttering open as if he was tired but trying to stay awake.
"Know the peace that is my mercy"
His eyes hd now fully closed and his body has gone limp and collapsed to the floor. Fully unconscious and vulnerable, he was now asleep.
Time Skip: A Few Hours Later…
After having reported to Azazel the incident and its gruesome aftermath, the girls went to sleep while Issei decided to stop by a secret training room that only he and other cadre class fallen angels had access to.
Inside the arena like place he spent his time destroying bots to try and take his mind off of the hideous act that he had committed.
Backflipping over a sword that was intended for him, he pulled back his fist with a fire now engulfing his hand, he punched a fiery hole through the metallic creation with it going up in flames, leaving nothing in its wake.
'Guys look the emissary has returned' a voice taunted, echoing through Issei's head.
'Ah you're right he murdered yet another innocent person' said another voice with an agreeing tone.
'Except it was 6 this time.'
'Well compared to the old days this is a pretty small amount.' a haughty voice reasoned
'I know right, this dude took people out left and right like it was a hobby.'
'Wherever he went someone was bound to die.'
'Y'know the more I think about it, that nickname really fit you. The emissary of de-'
"ENOUGH" Issei screamed with a fire shockwave rippling through the room destroying the last of the robots that were charging at him.
Gripping his head, he pressed his fingers into his skull as hard as possible, trying to silence the voices that reminded him of his heinous actions.
Every so often whenever he relapsed people in his mind would speak to each other, fake voices created by himself. A way of his mind to try and punish himself. A way to torture the body that had caused much sadness and much bloodshed.
No matter what he thought, they would always be there to remind him that he is not some strong person that those close to him say he is. He is not an innocent and pure person. What they said was that he was a demon, no far worse, he was lucifer himself. A devil among devils. The bane of all existence. The downfall of the righteous.
Sometimes if he was lucky after a short time the voices would settle and he would be able to attain temporary silence and peace which he yearned for at times like this.
"I AM NOT A MURDERER!" He yelled at seemingly no one.
'Do you want us to count the number of people that you have killed?' said a voice of which was a little boy's.
'Or better yet should we count the amount that have cried for mercy but were still slaughtered like animals?' said from the voice of a teenage girl.
Issei was now kneeling with intense pain coursing through his body and an unexpected fatigue. The days events finally taking their heavy toll on him. However no matter how much he wanted it, even sleep wasn't an escape from his inner demons.
Growing increasingly tired he started to close his eyes and began to fall into the dreamworld but not before a deep monotone voice was able to get one last cut in 'No matter how much you want to deny it, you will always be the emissary of death, the one who will be for many, the last thing that they shall ever see.'
Falling into a deep sleep his body slumped to the ground of the metal floor.
Several minutes later Azazel who had happened to be passing by at the time saw the fallen boy and simply grimaced to himself. The boy he had considered as a son, must have been reminiscing again. As he had never went to the room unless he had steam to blow off, but only the kind that came from his history.
According to the reports his deceased parents had been insulted. This caused him to snap and killed the assailants, he was so far gone that he required the precaution that was the special jewelry each of the girls have in the case that this should happen.
Azazel had been around for a long time, he knew things that very few did, and lived through the greatest war in the history of the supernatural. Nothing of this caliber had happened before, and it has been years since Issei has last lost his nerves. He didn't know why but his senses were telling him that something was off. Living through so much meant that his senses were refined to the core, going off like something wrong is going to happen couldn't be good in the slightest. You wouldn't be able to live as long as he has without being able to trust your gut feelings.
Picking up the sleeping teen, he carried him back to his room and laid him on his bed before casting a spell over him to help with any possible nightmares before leaving the room to go back to his office and drool over magazine girls.
Voices in Issei's head continued to converse, some praising, some bored, and some excited for the possibility of more action with this action. They talked as if something was awakening and something was going to happen. Something big where he couldn't hide his identity, where he will be forced in the spotlight and forced to face his torturous past. No matter what they said the one thing they could all agree on was, something was going to happen with him in the center, for the better or worse, everything was going to change.
A/N Woah, It went from some fluff fic to something really edgy. Sorry for not making the first fight scene too long but that's because in the coming chapters there will be a very very big one, so I would like to keep some abilities hidden so I have more material for the battle. As for near the end, I didn't exactly know how to get Issei to be unpissed, So i just went with some sealing and stuff.
Because it took longer to get this chapter out i made it 14k+ words which is probably overdone but I am happy that I was at least able to get past this one part in a single chapter. The next chapter will most likely be much shorter maybe around 6-8k words because I want the big battle to be a chapter by itself so yeah.
Writing the story is quite hard since all I have is a basic outline to follow, and everything else is developed as I write so it can get quite hard to write out a scene or to make sure dialogues work. Now with school to deal with, and a ton of new and tedious classes it'll be even harder for me to find time and motivation to work on the story.
Anyway enough of my rambling, thank you for reading, please review, and I'll see you next time
