Issei and Sona reappeared at his estate back in the underworld still in the same position. Now that they were away from the ease dropping devils, they were free do do as they pleased. Using a bit of his magic, Issei was now dressed in a similar suit to what he was wearing the previous day.
They were just about to go for a tour of the house, when a monkey that she's all to familiar with jumps onto her shoulder and takes her glasses. When she reached up for them, the monkey would snatch its hand back. This went on for a while, until Sona gave up and let me him have the glasses. The monkey started laughing and pointing at her, making fun of her.
'Be nice to Sona, or you can say goodbye to that tire swing.' Issei told the monkey mentally. He then gave her back her glasses and climbed over to Issei's shoulder. "Sorry about Nezha, he likes to tease." Issei says as they began walking.
"That's Nezha?!" Sona says shocked, Issei nodded at the question and kept walking. "He's still as annoying as I remember. Always taking something from me." Nezha then sticks out his tongue at Sona.
"He didn't take me away from you." Issei stated causing her to blush. "In fact, he was the one who brought me to you that day. And believe it or not, but he picked out your ring." He says making her blush increase.
On the day they met and became friends, was the day that Nezha decided to go on a little journey of his own, which lead Issei straight to Sona.
"That he did." She said wrapping her arm around his and resting her head on his free shoulder. "But he doesn't have to tease me like that. I thought he would've grown out of that?" Sona exclaimed.
"Nah, he's still the same mischievous little shit he's always been." Issei says with a chuckle. "Did you know he almost ruined a deal I was trying to make?" Nezha then starts laughing again at the thought of almost ruining Issei's deal.
Anyways...
The rest of the time Issei and Sona toured the estate, they were hand in hand the entire time just like they used to when both of them were children. Issei for his part, thought everything was going accordingly. He had the love of his life standing next to him, and a peerage that would do anything he asked of them, so what more could he ask for. But Sona on the other hand, it was like a dream had come true. The person she told all her secrets to, and went to for comfort, was once again back in her life.
While the two were catching up on old times, neither one of them noticed the presence of other people inside the house. They were too busy exchanging stories about what they did while they was apart. The two of them were happy to finally be back in each other's arms. All the years apart took a toll on them, and they both vowed to never leave without reason, or unless they had no other choice.
Turning the corner and stopping at a door, Issei opens up the door to a balcony, and gestured for her to exit first. He then followed behind her, and stood behind her with his hands wrapped around her waist.
"It's been so long since I've been to get a view like." Sona softly says laying her head back on Issei's shoulder.
"I know the feeling." Issei replies laying his head against hers.
After that was said, neither of them said anything else they just stood there looking out at the vast land that Issei's household had in their possession in silence. The only sound you could hear coming from them, was their breathing and the rustling of their clothes.
"You know, for 10 long agonizing years, I've dreamed of this moment. Being here with you in this very spot, brings back memories of when you first held me like this." Sona says breaking the silence between them.
"It was a nice night and you had just returned from yet another marriage proposal, upset and frustrated, you ran straight here and came to this particular balcony. When I saw you, I couldn't let my friend be hurting in such a way, then I held you just like this..." Issei paused for a second, turning her around. "And then told me to never let go." Issei says to Sona bringing a tear to her eyes.
As he wiped the tears from her eyes, he gave her a bright smile.
"I thought you had forgotten about that." Sona says with a small smile. She thought that Issei wouldn't remember, but turns out that he did. "That day I was hoping that you were one of the contenders my father set up." She told him sadly.
"Your father never liked my clan, that's probably why we weren't set up to be married." Issei explains. The Leraje household was one of the strongest households in the underworld and specialized in elemental magic. "But that's all in the past, my dear. We are to be wed when we want, not when they want us to be." Issei told her as he caresses her cheek.
"You're right, it's our life to do as we damn well please." She says causing Issei to chuckle and nod his head in agreement.
"You know, I just thought of something." Issei says. "None of our peerages know each other, do they?" Sona gains a thoughtful look once Issei said that.
"Come to think about it, no they don't... well besides your Queen, who kept getting sent to the office." Sona answers.
"Well let's gather them, and properly introduce ourselves." He says taking out his phone. Issei then sent a message to his Queen. "Now that that's out of the way, let's go ins..." Issei was about to say, but Sona cut him off.
"I wanna stay out here for a little while longer." She said looking him in his eyes.
Issei nodded his head and obliged to his fiancé's wishes. The two were in a loving embrace for what seemed like hours, but in reality, they were only like that for about 20 minutes or so. Sona didn't know it, but all this land would also be hers once they were married.
Scene Break...
Once both parties were accounted for, Issei and Sona made their way inside. They walked at a steady pace heading towards where the groups were. However, as soon as they neared where both peerages was, they heard a shriek coming from one of the girls. Sona thought something was wrong, but once they arrived, they saw Nezha tormenting Sona's Queen.
"I guess he found someone other than you to pick on." Issei jokes.
"Indeed he has." Sona says.
As the two stood there watching her Queen run around like a headless chicken trying to get back her glasses, an unknown person walks in and stands beside them.
The person was just as tall as Issei, if not a little shorter. They had short curly black hair and chocolate brown eyes. The person wore a black decorative robe with medic symbol on the right side, and carried a staff with the same symbol.
"Nice of you to join us, Coco." Issei says while looking at the girl chase down Nezha for her glasses.
"Forgive my tardiness Master, but the operation took longer than expected." Coco apologizes with a small bow.
"It's fine, but next time inform someone when you're going to be late, understand!" Issei scolds. Coco nods her head in affirmation. "Now that everyone is here, proper introductions are in order." Issei announces getting everyone's attention.
"To most of you, you all knew me as Souna Shitori, the Student Council President at Kuoh Academy. But my real name is Sona Sitri, heiress to the house of Sitri." Sona reintroduces herself.
"I'd say half of you know who I am, but that would be a lie. I'm Issei Leraje, the next head of the Leraje household." He says with a small polite bow. Issei then looks towards his group giving them the signal to stand up and introduce themselves.
"Hello, I'm Aika Kiriyuu, Queen of Issei's peerage." Aika proudly says.
"I'm Katase, Issei's Knight." Katase greeted with a bow.
"Murayama, also a Knight."
"The names Cassandra. If I see any of you even think about my master, that'll be the last time you see daylight." Cassandra says threatening them. "Oh! And I'm his Rook, just like that bottomless pit over there stuffing his face." She said pointing to the blue haired man sitting at table with yet another large plate of food.
"Like seriously, do you ever stop eating?" Katase deadpanned.
"In case you forgotten, I'M A FUCKING DRAGON!" Raiden shouts.
"Well that there is Raiden, my other Rook." Issei says. "And he better learn to keep that temper under wraps." He said narrowing his eyes. "Last but not least, Coco my Bishop."
After finished introducing his group, it was now Sona's turn to introduce her peerage. In the midst of her introduction, the sole male of her group thought it be a good idea to interrupt her. He then proceeded to say that Sona was his, which was definitely not his best choice of words, because Issei slowly but calmly walked towards him.
The blonde haired boy began to get nervous, Issei wasn't mad, nor was he really paying this pitiful excuse of a man any attention. Once Issei was in front of him, unconsciously the boy stepped back trying to distance himself from Issei. However, that only Issei look at him with his hand on his chin.
"What piece is he?" Issei asks Sona while still looking at her servant.
"Pawn." She answers.
"I figured as much." Issei says walking away from the boy who was standing there wide eyed and sweating bullets. As he walked, his phone started to ring. He then fished it out checking to see who was calling. Seeing that it was important, he answered it after he left the room. "I have to do what!" Issei yells to the person on the other end.
"Precisely as I said, you are to enroll in the school known as Kuoh Academy."
"Yeah... not happening." Issei replies.
"Oh, but it is. I will not let my sister be unprotected, you already did that once."
"Unprotected? What happened that I don't already know about?" Issei asks with a hint of anger in his voice.
"..." no response came from the person on the other end of the phone. That gave Issei the answer he was looking for.
Issei sighed in disappointment before he made his response. "I don't mean any disrespect, but the person she needs from is you Serafall." He said before the call was abruptly disconnected.
Shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts that plagued him. Issei then returns back to the group who were now talking amongst each other. Looking at them get along, Issei couldn't help but smile.
One thing that surprised him was that, Sona's Rooks were surrounding Raiden asking him tons of questions. He didn't answer them of course due to his shyness and the fact that he's never interacted with any girls besides his fellow peerage members.
Issei then turns back around and heads to his office with his hand in his pocket. When everyone noticed that he hadn't showed up from his phone call, they thought he left the building, but Sona knew otherwise. She knew he was still there, because she could feel his energy, even though it was feint. So she decided to go where she felt his energy.
With Issei...
Issei was currently in his office laying on one of the couches on his Mac-air laptop enrolling himself in his fiancé's school. He didn't want to, but he also didn't want to get on his sisters-in-laws bad side.
Right now he was taking the third year exam to get in the school. He was on the last part of the exam, when the door to his office was opened.
"What are you doing Issei?" She asks from the doorway.
"...Just finished my enrollment test." Issei answers. "Why, what's up?" He says closing his laptop and sitting up normal, presenting himself for Sona.
"Your enrolling in Kuoh Academy?" Sona asks with a mixture of emotions.
"Unfortunately..." He sighed. "But hey look at it this way, we'll see each other everyday, and I might get my final pieces." Issei finished with a smile, one that Sona knew was forced.
However, Sona didn't say anything on the matter, she just left that conversation for another time. Both of them knew that he didn't want to go to school, but he had no other choice, if the Devil King Leviathan demanded it, then he must agree to her demands.
"When will you start?" Sona asks as she sat down on the couch next to him.
"In 3 days." Issei replies laying his head in her lap, looking up at her. "Hey, is there any empty buildings for sale." He asks with a thoughtful look on his face.
"There's one downtown." Sona replies looking down at him confused. "Why are you interested in purchasing something like that?" She wondered.
"A little gift I'm preparing." Issei wasn't about to tell her that it was for her, so he decided to keep it a secret for the time being.
"If you say so." Sona replies raising her eyebrow in a confused manner. "So about you enrolling in school, whose idea was it?" Sona asks.
"Awe~ you too look so good together!" Issei says in a fake childish voice. "Does that answered your question." Issei says causing Sona to widen her eyes. "I take your silence as a yes." He finished.
The two of them would have sat there longer, but a hologram of a girl with violet hair and red eyes appeared from the top his computer. The holographic girl tilted her head wondering who this girl was that her master was laying on.
"Umm..." the hologram spoke.
Issei and Sona both turn their attention to the table with a holographic girl standing on top of it. Issei then sat up straight on the couch.
"Sona meet Xcess, my artificial intelligence. Xcess this is my fiancé, Sona." Issei introduces. Both of them nod their heads.
"Master, I come to remind you, that you have a meeting tomorrow evening." Xcess reminded. "This is an important event, so you cannot miss it, or screw it up like the last one."
"Hey! They started it!" Issei exclaimed. "Those ignorant bastards don't know when not to bring up certain subjects!"
The interaction between Issei and his A.I was like a parent scolding her child, instead of a master and servant.
Speaking of parents...
"You mean what happened to your parents?" Xcess says looking around the room.
"Precisely!"
The death of his mother and father still haunted him till this day. He's tried every possible way to rid himself from the memory of seeing his parents lifeless bodies laying in pools of blood.
He tried talking to people about the incident, but that only made things worse. He killed the ones responsible for murdering his parents, but that hardly made him feel any better.
"Is that all?" Xcess nods her head and disappeared.
Time Skip...
As those three days went by, Issei went to his meeting and successfully recruited his final Bishop, which was apart of the deal. Now arriving with his peerage in separate car, was none other than the heir of the Leraje household. The first car was a bright pink Ferrari 488 spider with Murayama and Katase. Second car was a black Porsche Panamera turbo, and it had Aika and Cassandra. The last car was a white Bentley continental GTC, with Issei and surprisingly, Sona.
Getting out of the car, Issei walks around to the other side and opened up the door letting Sona exit the vehicle. She took his hand and got out. After she was out, she straightened her clothes making herself look more presentable to the students that gathered around the three cars.
"Have you even given any thoughts as to what club you're going to make?" Sona asks.
"I was thinking the Historical society." Issei replies. "Because half of my peerage is made up of things written in history." Issei tells Sona as they begin walking towards the school building.
"Has a nice ring to it. I'll see to that right away." Sona says.
The two hadn't been inside the schools gates a full minute before the entire school burst out into a whispering frenzy.
Most of the whispers were because of the person walking with their Student Council President, and the fact that she was actually smiling.
"Who is that with Kaichō?" A girl whispers to her friend.
"Don't know." The girls friend replies with dreamy eyes looking Issei up and down biting her bottom lip.
"Wait is she... smiling?" Another girl says shocked. No one ever knew that the strictest girl in school could make such an expression.
When they split apart, four girls continued to follow behind him. Everyone was wondering why these girls were following the new student. Maybe they were fans of his. Then again, they could be new also. But little did they know, that three of them already went there, they just changed their appearances. Only two of them were new, and that was Issei and Cassandra.
Scene Break...
Now standing in front of a class full of drooling girls, and four devils was Issei and Cassandra. Greeting them all politely caused the majority of the girls to blush madly, while the others just drooled.
"Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Issei or Ms. Cassandra?" The teacher asks snapping the girls out of their fantasies. Then numerous hands rose in the air.
"I'm not single if that's what you were gonna ask." Issei says making most of those go down. He then pointed to the girl sitting next to Rias. "We'll talk about it." The girl gave him a smile and nodded her head.
"Anyone else?" She asked, the class shook their head. The teacher then proceeded on with teaching her class.
The teacher assigned Issei and Cassandra to the seats in front of the girls. Once they were seated, classes went on as they normally did.
As time slowly ticked by, the girls passed him note after note. And that included his teacher. While all this was going on, Sona sat there quietly as Issei just took their notes.
However, he did look at the one the teacher gave him. It was something about it that made him look at it, but once he did, he widened his eyes and turned his focus on the teacher now known as Seika Hattori.
Seika was a blonde haired woman in her late twenties. She wore a pair of black semi-rimmed glasses over green eyes. Her attire consisted of a blue skirt that stopped just above her knees, a white collared blouse that was barely holding her breasts in, and a pair of black toeless heels that strapped across her ankles.
When break time came around, everyone in the class left. Except for Issei. He stayed behind seeing as he had nothing else to do, and he wanted to see why his teacher kept winking and blowing him kisses.
"So..." Issei began. "Winking and blowing kisses." Issei says holding up her note.
"Yeah, what of it?" Seika asks as she walked away from her desk and sat in the seat next to him.
"You know you were doing all that in front of my fiancé right?" He said shocking her.
"Really? And who is this fiancé of yours?" She asks.
She didn't know that what she was about to hear would make her rethink about she did things.
"Souna Shitori, your top student." Issei nonchalantly says causing Seika's jaw to drop. "And speak of the devil, here she comes." Just as Issei finished Sona appeared walking through the door towards him and Seika.
"I leave you alone for five minutes, and now you're flirting with our teacher." Sona says sitting on his lap.
"Not my fault." He says kissing her. "I blame it on my eyes." Issei jokes. Sona then slaps his chest playfully and laughs with him. "Anyways, she knows we're devils." He finishes handing her the note.
Sona read the note and couldn't believe it, all this time Seika knew that the four smartest girls in her class were devils and it took for someone as good looking as Issei was, for her to say something.
"This is perfect!" Issei exclaims. Seika and Sona looked at Issei with confusion on their faces. "Reason I said it's perfect, is because I'm opening up a school for devils." Issei explains.
"A school?"
"Yes, a school. Why, you don't think I'm capable of running one?" Issei asks seriously.
"It's not that I don't think you are not capable, it's just been a dream of mine to open up a school." Sona replies.
The whole time Issei and Sona were talking, Seika was getting irritated that she was being ignored by the person she had an interest in. Not to mention, Issei had the audacity to kiss Sona in front of her very eyes.
Seika had been thinking about becoming a devil for a while now, and when Issei appeared, she saw someone she could follow. She wanted to ask him to make her a devil, she just didn't know how, which also irritated her. By the time she was about to ask, the bell had rung signaling the start of class.
Time Skip
After the class had ended, Issei stayed behind once again. But this time they would strictly talk about how much she knows of the supernatural.
"How long have you known devils were in this school. Better yet, who told you?" Issei questions. Seika looks at him for a while, before she nodded her head.
'Well there's no point in hiding who I really am now.' Seika thought to herself. Not long after, a long black and red trident with gold inscriptions down the handle appeared. Her hair turned from blonde to red with black highlights, and her green eyes turned yellow. "Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Seika Hattori, half devil." Seika said revealing her devil wings surprising Issei.
"So that was you giving off that feint devils aura." Issei says rubbing his chin. "You have the strength of a Rook, but I don't have any left." He then pulls out his Pawns. "All I have is these."
"I'm okay with it. As long as I have a worthy leader." Seika told him with an off handed look.
Silence then entranced the two. Issei was contemplating whether he should add her to his peerage or not, while Seika was waiting for Issei to make up his mind.
"Alright, but let's make one thing clear. The school that I am starting isn't for me, it's for Sona, and you're gonna be the first teacher there." Seika nodded and Issei gave her four of his Pawns. The two then proceeded to leave the building, with Seika in her human form.
