A companion fic to my main story, Holy Inferno Dragon. As such, only the nine women I've explicitly listed as Issei's harem are married to him.


Future Taking Flight: New Arrival

Though he didn't show it, Issei was quite furious. He managed to school his features, keeping the smile and cheer in place. After all, he and his progeny were at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland.

They were a motley bunch. Dressed casually sure, but that was their only similarity.

Helmwige, Robertina and Zen were wearing the classic mouse-eared hat. Kurobara and Shirayuki had refused, leaving their soft ears exposed instead. But no tails, their mothers had been quite clear about how to behave in the human public. Ears only. Perverts and curious children would test if the tails were real.

Airi, Kurenai, and Ex were hyperactive as usual. And Shin was in the kid-carrier on his back, waving cheerfully at everyone that passed by.

They did attract some unusual looks. After all, only Zen completely resembled him, even if all his sons had most of his facial features the hair and eye color differences made it casually seem as if he was herding a group of kids he wasn't directly related to.

The looks he could deal with. You got used to them after going on several dates with a pre-matured Koneko.

He was annoyed, because of the constant sensations of what had been going on at home, sent to him courtesy of his mates. All night as he watched his kids in the hotel so they'd be the first ones through the gates. And even through the morning, and only just now stopping as they grew tired.

Insatiable succubi, all nine of them. And they called him perverted?

"Papa, are you okay?" Airi pulled at his sleeve worriedly.

She always was the most perceptive, bless her.

"I'll be fine, sweetheart. Now," he raised his voice a little, "where to next?"

"The Teacups!"

"The Bobsleds!"

"Toontow~OW!"

Robertina bopped Zen on the head, and though he chastised her, Issei agreed. For most kids, Toontown was a perfect attraction.

But the accumulated stench infants and excitable children could make made some perceptive humans nauseous, it'd be hell on them.

"Tea Cups it is," Issei smiled at Helmwige, who was quite happy she got her wish. "We'll get to the sleds after lunch."

And there they were. Three or four per garishly colored, larger than life tea cup. Ex, Robertina, and Helmwige in one, Kurenai, Airi and Zen in another, with Issei, the kitten girls and Shin in another.

And away they went.

A few minutes later, Zen pushed a door open as the ride stopped completely, taking two steps then falling face first. "So dizzy!"

His looks, but based on behavior that was Xenovia's son for you.

Issei had Shin back in his carrier, with Kurobara and Shirayuki clinging to his back on either side of their brother as they waited for the world to stop spinning. "Alright, now then, where to~"

He was interrupted by the buzzing phone in his pocket. He took it out and grinned. "How appropriate." He brought it to his ear, "Hyoudou tea parties, where we're mad as a Hatter, how can I~"

His smile fell and his face grew deadly serious. The children hugged his legs as the air around him grew cold.

"We'll be right there, Tsubaki."


Ravel blinked awake, coming face to breast of another sister-wife. And by the feel, she was sandwiched between her and another.

Then she remembered how she had passed out the night before and smiled. Okay, it wasn't Issei, but eight other women working together were bound to satisfy each other.

Now, how to get up.

She'd been handcuffed sometime during the depravity, with one cuff on her wrist and the other to Asia. And Kuroka was lying on the short chain between them.

'Argh, move cat!'

Kuroka stirred sleepily as Ravel began pushing, groping her without shame in the course of moving her. Damn it, Kuroka was too heavy a sleeper! She'd need-

Every woman on the bed, formerly asleep, jolted up and screamed as they were doused with what felt like an Olympic swimming pool's amount of freezing cold water.

That'd work, Ravel groused, but why her!?

"Up and at 'em!" Issei put down a giant barrel. "We're going out!"

Ravel gaped at him but protested as he picked her up as she was. She wasn't alone. Asia and Koneko were together under his left arm while she and Kuroka were bunched together on the right.

Considering he was still fully clothed, and they were still fully nude, it must have seemed as if he were a conquering male bringing women to his bed.

Three problems with that.

First, he had just removed them from his bed.

Second, the Mickey Mouse ears took away from the appearance of a conquering hero.

Third, that serious face contained no trace of lust. And after what had been going on on their end, he should be uncontainable yet he somehow wasn't.

"Tosca's going into labor. Kids are downstairs, we're going now."

Oh.

Oh.

And Issei shifted away, reappearing a few neighborhoods away in the foyer of the Kiba residence.

"Issei, we're still naked!" Asia cried out.

He tapped each woman as he set them on their feet, unsealing simple robes onto them directly. "No time, you're needed."

He'd taken the Bishops and the Nekomata sisters. The best healers in their party. Not that the others were any slouches in that department, but they were the best. And Asia was the undisputed best healer in the history of ever.

Nagissa was waiting for them, the young boy getting an unwitting eyeful but was far below the age where such was considered interesting to boys. "Issei-oji, everyone, come!"

The six of them quickly made their way to the main bedroom for the manor. Upon opening the door, they saw Kiba and Tsubaki huddled over the pale form of the little Queen.

Tosca was taking short breaths, despite the urging of Tsubaki, breaths that were lengthened and alleviated as Twilight Healing's bearer began her work.

Ravel used a magic circle to summon Phoenix Tears from the family supply, and the entire bed began to glow a pale bluish white as the sister neko began stabilizing the life force of both mother and unborn child.

Kiba found himself tugged away from the bed by an iron grip. "Let's go!"

On instinct, the young father drew a Holy sword designed to hurt dragons and swung. The dragon caught his arm at the wrist.

"We're in the way. Give them space. Tosca and your kid will be fine, but the last thing they need is you hovering."

Issei understood the anger, the feeling of helplessness. He'd felt it nine times now, possibly more to come in the future. Kiba only had the one so far, but Tsubaki had been in excellent health at the time of birth.

"Distract them, and you put both your wife and child at risk."

Issei knew that a fight would not help them, how the womenfolk hadn't taken notice of the scuffle was beyond him, but he knew them well enough that they'd be booted out soon enough.

So he said the same words Grayfia had said to him when Asia struggled with her own pregnancy.

Kiba quit struggling after a moment before allowing himself to be pulled out of the room, Nagissa with him. Issei shut the doors behind them and guided them outside.

And then promptly teleported the three of them into a forest.

"Where are we?" Nagissa looked around frantically.

"Mount Issei," Issei grunted in annoyance. "I didn't name the place, so don't bother commenting, I've heard it all before."

A hand came up and unsealed a small hatchet. Issei flipped it in his hand before offering it to the four year old.

"Issei." You could taste the disapproval in Kiba's voice.

"Nagissa, you're going to be a big brother. But first, we need to get some wood to boil water."

"How can you think of soup at a time like this!?"

"All babies need boiling water. So get the firewood."

Nagissa didn't seem to buy it but took the implement and started whacking at the nearest dead tree. Kiba turned to Issei with a confused look.

"Hot water."

"Completely necessary."

"Firewood."

"Yep."

"It's midsummer."

A battle axe was unsealed this time.

"I don't want that."

Issei shrugged. "Let your wife and kid freeze then."

"..."

"..."

"Give me the axe."


Some hours later, Ravel appeared through her own power and gaped.

"Did a logging company come through here?"

Nearly every tree in sight had been cut down, the trunks split and severed, stacked high and the branches and twigs tied into bundles of kindling.

"We must boil water." Nagissa vowed solemnly before continuing his attack on a helpless stump.

When the woman looked at Issei, reclining in a hammock between the only two nearby trees NOT cut down, she sighed. "There are better ways to keep menfolk busy."

"This was sudden, I had to think of something." Issei rolled out of the hammock and took it down.

"This is the best you could come up with?"

"It worked didn't it?"

Ravel sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Let's just go."

There were more people gathered around the bed upon their return. Issei's other wives were all present, with the kids hovering close by. They parted to make room for Kiba and Nagissa as the pair beelined to the new mother and child.

Tosca's white hair was tousled, face streaked in sweat but she looked at the little one wrapped in her arms with the love and joy only a mother could. Kiba embraced her gently before taking a closer look at his youngest.

"Isaiah, it's a girl!" Tosca tried to whisper but couldn't, such was her excitement. "A girl!"

"A girl?" Kiba asked, disbelievingly.

"A girl?" Nagissa cocked his head sideways, confused. He took a light knock to the head as his birth mother scolded him.

"A girl," Tosca nodded. "Yukino Kiba."

Kiba had already looked gobsmacked, now he looked faint. "You… you already named her?"

Tosca squeaked and shuffled awkwardly.

"You were supposed to wait for me…"

"Oops."

Rias looked overjoyed that someone appreciated the name she had given to the Knight, and Tsubaki was equally amused given that she herself had previously overruled any objections that Kiba may have had about Nagissa's name.

Kiba may have had his fun teasing Issei about being outnumbered and outvoted by the women in his life, but turnabout's fair play. Issei got no small amount of satisfaction when Tsubaki and Tosca proved that they as Queens were the true rulers of the household, and Kiba only a Knight.

Tosca offered the baby girl to her husband and any slights he had faded away as the little girl opened her bright blue eyes and reached for him. He reverently received her, holding her close and allowing her little hand to grab his finger and hold tight.

Issei then began to motion to his own family, quietly looking to the door. The women and young ladies understood first, pulling the boys along when they were a little slow.

For his part, Issei patted his brother-in-arms on the shoulder before turning to leave as well, leaving the family alone.

They'd be fine. Ravel wouldn't have gotten them if it wasn't for Asia's golden seal of approval. Even without using Twilight Healing, Asia had worked hard and earned her several doctorates in medical studies and frequently served as an on-call doctor.

Long story, but both Tosca and little Yukino would be fine.

As they teleported back home in a group, Asia, Ravel and the elder Nekoshou began to stretch out their tired limbs in a sleepy manner. Childbirth was a burden not only on the mother, but those supporting her.

"Ah, a nice long bath would be perfect right now," Ravel moaned as her arms stretched above her head. "Let's goOOOO!"

The simple robe she'd worn after the morning and for the rest of the day was torn away and she found herself once more pressed against another wife under the dragon's arm. She and the other healers were back to where they had started their day. Issei's natural wings were out and bent just so that Rias, Akeno, Xenovia and Rossweisse were held above them.

And then there was a tail from his armor, snaking out and coiling itself around Irina.

"Business of the day aside, you all owe me." Eyes widened, the sudden desire to sleep replaced with a hint of fearful apprehension.

They'd thought themselves so clever, taunting the dragon all night.

Well, he was home now.

"We should have seen this coming," Ravel muttered to herself, even as the door to the master bedroom was kicked open.

It would be another sleepless night for the women of the Hyoudou family. But really, none of them were complaining about it.

Most were screaming for more.


AN: Yay, I'm alive.

Been busy with internship (adulting is hard), but as we wind down for the summer and before the start of next semester, I'm gonna try to use newly freed time to write as much as I can everyday. For this and HIDragon. There also may or may not be another project in the works.

Until next time!
