Chapter 10

"Stop acting like a jerk" issei said sternly in his voice, "how do you ever have any friends with that kind of attitude?"

"None of your business. Now leave." Issei said with irritation evident in his voice.

Issei took that statement as a threat. He activated his sacred gear. Most enemies, whether members of the Khaos brigade or any enemies in general, would be pissing their pants in fear. After all he was the Red dragon emperor, and the Oppai dragon.

But the one standing in front of him smiled evilly. "So you want to fight huh" Issei said smugly. "Let me show you just how weak you are,'' Issei said as blue flames rivaling the intensity of the sun surrounded his whole body.

Issei charged at his counterpart. He landed a straight fist which made contact with his counterpart's face . A large boom was heard, and a small shockwave could be felt but not enough to cause major damage to anything.

Issei stood there completely unfazed. "Pathetic" he then gave a punch to issei on the face,

Issei was completely blown away and sent flying by the punch. He was hurling blood from his mouth. "What the hell!? That punch made sairaorg's attack look like an ant's bite.

"I was right partner. Be careful! We may have only gotten a taste of his powers." Ddraig replied.

"My partner did your job for you. Please don't escalate this further. You'll land yourself in a coma." AU Ddraig warnedhis counterpart and his wielder.

Issei ignored the warning and charged further. He attemped to put him down as quickly as possibble. He started by delivering a flurry of fists aimed at his opponent's face.

Issei blocked all of the attacks using only his hands which he did by moving it side to side and then proceeded to bash his back hand on Issei's face. Issei felt the sheer power of the attack as blood oozed from his teeth as well as his gums and bottom lip. Issei attempted to kick him with his leg which had been enhanced by ddraig.

Issei responded by catching his counterpart's leg and slamming his fist down. Breaking his counterparts leg. He then elbowed him and sent Issei flying until he crashed into a cement wall.

Issei then dashed to his counterpart and began bashing his counterpart. Issei then grabbed his face but it only pissed his counterpart off further who then flung him into the air gave him an attack barrage using his armored fists. And then finishing him off with the fusion cannon from his balance breaker. The blast was so intense that it sent Issei to a few trees.

The red dragon emperor armor faded revealing the badly wounded and injured but otherwise alive and unconscious Issei hyoudou beneath him. His leg was badly broken with the bend being inward at the knee and he was bleeding from the head.

"Might have overdone it" Issei said.

"Your realizing that now?!" Au Ddraig raised his voice.

"His friends will be looking for him soon, I better heal him." Issei said

"No shit partner".

A few hours later

Issei woke up in a small room on a mat. It looked like the inside of a Japanese shrine. He was thinking to himself before his counter part walked in with a dead face.

"You! I am gonna-" Issei screamed thinking of the injuries inflicted upon him As he felt the pain inhis broken leg before he passed out.

Only that there was no pain right now. There was a bandage around his leg. But it looked like his injuries were completely healed. He also felt like he had no injuries whatsoever even around his head which was still covered with bandages but they looked clean.

"I don't get it. My leg was broken, but now.." Issei felt feeling his body.

He then looked at his counterpart, "what did you do to me?"

"What do you think I did?" Issei countered.

"My injuries, you healed them? Why? You don't seem like the kind person." Issei asked further.

"Believe me I'm not. I'm doing that so that I won't be found by your friends." Issei said.

"What makes you think that I'm not gonna tell them. You think that healing my injuries will prevent me from doing that?" Issei.

"Because I will kill you if you think about telling them. Besides, I have a feeling your friends won't believe you. Event with the strong bond taht you share " Issei replied with a dead tone.

"You couldn't beat me in a fight, I was holding back a while ago." Issei retorted.

"So was I. I wasn't even using my balance breaker armor. Don't get cocky." Issei said in return.

Issei looked into his eyes further. It was hard to discern his true motives nor induce fear into him. Was it really true that the was completely one sided? He did feel some slight tingling in his once broken and injured areas such as his leg despite it being completely healed. But it couldn't possible be true. He must have gotten some good hits in.

"I'm afraid it's true partner, that fight was a complete curb stomp. It was a miracle you didn't get killed." Ddraig spoke up, emitting from his host's left hand.

"You should go home. Your family and friends will be looking for you" Issei replied as he walked out the room.

A few minutes later Issei walked out the house and soon arrived home.

"Man I need to get some rest" Issei said as he set down on the couch, a few minutes later the sands of slumber overtook him

The next day

Issei slowly opened his eyes, as if the fatigue was starting to leave him. As he tried to get up he noticed a flash of red hair shining in his eyes and a big weight was on him. He noticed rias sleeping right on top of him.

The sudden movement of Issei when he tried to get up also woke rias from her sleep in the process. Rias opened her eyes to find her beloved staring at her.

"ISE" Rias exclaimed as she embraced her beloved pawn tightly like a snake holding its prey closely to not allow it to escape. Issei embraced her back.

All of a sudden she pulled up. "Where were you?! You were gone for the entire day after school! You didn't even come to bed!" Rias said with anger and her clingy side flaring.

Shit shes on to me! I need to find a way to prevent her from knowing the truth. At least until i can back up my findings with evidence. Issei thought to himself.

"I agree partner, at least until we can discern his true motives." Ddraig replied in his head.

"I uh, lost my way going home, I did so much walking, that I must have lost my strength and passed out." Issei replied nervously, but not to the point that it was an obvious lie

Rias looked him in the eye, trying to determine any falsehoods in his words.

"Why didn't you just call me so I could pick you up using a magic circle?" rias asked.

Issei looked at his phone which was dead. "My phone died. So I couldn't call you." he replied, showing his dead cellphone.

Rias looked at it before embracing him, telling him to be more considerate about others as people did care for him.

Now speaking of caring for others. Do you know what day it is? Rias asked with a smile on her face, hoping he knew the answer.

Issei thought for a moment before replying teasingly. "Its just saturday, he replied."

Rias' smile turned into a frown and her head dropped down. With this Issei laughed heartily, confusing her further.

"It's date day." Issei replied. Rias now with a big smile, knowing that he was only teasing her about it.

"Lets get ready," Issei replied.

Issei and rias fully stood up to go change.

About 20 minutes later Issei and rias had already been prepared. Issei wore dressed in a purple collared shirt, black jeans, top sider shoes and a dark blue long sleeve which was slightly folded.

Rias on the other hand put on a black blouse and skinny jeans that accentuated her figure.

Issei found this quite beautiful to stare at to the point where he had a hard time keeping his eyes off.

Rias looked at him and then at one spot in particular. "Well is Ddraig in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?" Rias said while giggling.

Issei looked down to find out he was rock hard. He put his hands over his crotch.

"Very funny gremory" Ddraig said, clearly not amused to be the butt of the joke.

"Akeno! Me and issei are going out for a while, so the rest of you behave yourselves!" Rias said.

"Ara-ara, thats fine. But remember he's yours just for today. Tomorrow its dragon hunting for us."

Rias and Issei walked out the door.

"So where do you want to go?" Issei replied.

"I'm happy wherever you want Ise." Rias replied while tightly holding his arm.

"In that case…" Issei replied.

Their first stop was a rollercoaster park. For the first 4 hours, they spent their time there, they ate and they rode thrilling roller coasters. Issei enjoyed it. Rias on the other hand was scared of them at first but as time went on she began to see why issei loved it and began to enjoy being on the roller coaster as it was thrilling. They also played various games in the theme park, entered a haunted house, and had cotton candy.

"That was quite fun." Issei said.

"Yea, I don't know what I was so scared about." Rias replied.

"You were tearing up too." Issei replied.

"MUUUU! Dont mention that." Rias complained.

"Maybe i'll mention it to akeno." Issei replied.

Rias puffed her cheeks and pinched her lover's cheeks.

"Don't you dare." Rias replied.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay! Okay!" issei replied.

The couple ate next at a Japanese restaurant. Rias was absolutely blown away by the restaurant's delicious food. Issei himself was impressed as well. The two spend the next hour chatting.

"So how has college been for you?" Issei asked.

"It's been great so far, i'm still admired and sought after by most boys. And my other girl classmates have been teasing me about Yuuto."

Issei looked down.

"Don't worry Ise, your the only one i want." Rias replied.

"How about you, how is school?" She asked.

"Honestly, it's kind of boring already without Matsuda and motohama. Although now that I think about it, I also think it was time I stopped hanging out with them." Issei replied.

After a few more minutes of chatting, they leave the restaurant

"I agree. I always thought you should just continue hanging with us.''

"Oh, before we end the day, i'd like to show you something." Issei states.

''What is it ise?''

"Cover your eyes" Issei asks.

Rias did what issei asked, as she trusted him with her life.

Issei took her hands and began to lead her carefully. As the two of them walked. Issei continued guiding her until he led to the top of a small hill where the entire town could be seen, along with the lights emanating from buildings and street shops. One could see the entire town from here. It looked beautiful.

"Open your eyes Rias." Issei replied.

Slowly Rias opened them as she took the marvelous view from the city.

"Issei… it looks so… beautiful." Rias said as her eyes feasted on the sight.

"That's not all. Look at the sky." he replied.

She looked up. A set of fireworks blew up in the sky, erupting into beautiful colors. She saw, blue, green, orange and yellow.

Finally a set of red fireworks began to pop into letters catching her attention once more. She saw I, L, O. Finally the letters finished and Rias was crying out of joy.

The fireworks spelled out "I LOVE YOU RIAS".

Rias looked at Issei who was smiling and then pulled him into a hot passionate kiss.

"I love you Rias."

"I love you, Issei".

After a few more moments the two went home, their relationship closer than ever before
