"The Betrayal of a Lifetime." A DxD Fanfiction

Chapter 57 "The Confrontation of ALL Confrontations!"

Scene (Yasaka Castle)

In the main throne area of the large home, a black circle appears. A flustered Kuroka and a worried looking Yasaka look toward Ophis's teleportation event-horizon. Black and long appendages with fingers and hands, lower both the usual stoic dragon god, along with her love, Hyoudou Issei. Then, Yasaka rises from her position and runs toward a confused Issei. She then wrapped both her arms and tails around the teen.

"Ara, ara, my little Issei! I have some news that you aren't going to like my sweet. Please forgive me but we have guests arriving."

Issei, (who has his face in Yasaka's neck), smiles warmly. "It can't be that bad, Yasaka sama. Even if it were, there would be nothing for me to forgive. I could never be upset with you." Issei then moves his face and looks at Kuroka and then Ophis. He smiles brighter. "Any of you. To me, you are the closest thing to love that I have ever felt."

Instantly, both Yasaka and Issei are smothered by Ophis and Kuroka. Both black haired women had their arms wrapped tightly around one another, all with smiles and blushes on their faces.

Yasaka then cradled Issei's head in both of her hands. "Listen to me. No matter what happens, you are staying here. I don't care what anyone says. You are ours."

Issei nodded while closing his eyes.

Yasaka frowns just like the other two as well. "Issei, Sirzechs is in the guest hall."

Opening his eyes while showing a very surprised and agitated look, Issei replies with a bit of fear in his voice. "How did she find me?"

Then a (Knock Knock Knock) came from the otherside of the rice-paper door. "Madam Yasaka, Mistress Sirzechs asked me to inform you that she has been waiting patiently long enough."

Yasaka nods as she looks down at Issei's frightened eyes. "As I said, this is my territory and I WILL protect what is MINE!"

Issei could see a beast-like determination in the fox queen's eyes. After Yasaka conveyed her declaration, both Ophis and Kuroka nodded in agreement. Protect what is theirs.

Getting everyone situated within the throne room, Yasaka had both Ophis and Kuroka set up on seats on each of her side. Meanwhile, there would be a small Japanese style table in front of the three. What Issei thought might not look so good was the fact that Yasaka insisted Issei sit in her lap. However after she gave him her signature, "mommy is always right", look, Issei nervously complied.

Yasaka then gave the ok to one of her many guards. The larger woman who was wearing a fox mask nodded. She then opened the sliding doors. Issei took a large gulp. Yasaka, (while cleverly using this small table), proceeded to use a few of her tails to wrap the bottom half of the teen as it would be concealed from the opposite side of the room. Flinching at first, Yasaka's simple actions caused Issei to be a bit more calm.

Walking through the doors was firstly Sirzechs alongside Grayfia. Both women had their eyes trained on Issei however the teen kept his gaze toward the table below him. They were at a far enough distance so as not to notice anything out of the ordinary, aside from the boy wearing a pair of nekomimi or something to that effect. Deciding not to ask, at the moment, the devil couple now made their way toward a large and cushioned mat and sat down. Then, Azazel walked through along with Vali, Riser, Ravel and Penemue. The governor looked as though he had been through hell. Two black eyes along with a swollen and fat lip, he looked to be worse for wear. Looking up now, Issei locked eyes with Azazel as he began to scowl. Azazel simply smiled nervously while shrugging his shoulders. As the group made their way toward another set of mats, more people came through the door. Serafall, Sona, Tsubaki, Reya, Tomoe, Tsubasa and Saji all walked in while looking around. But there were two girls holding Saji's arm. Both Tiamat and Momo held one of each of the arms of the nervously smiling pawn. Momo didn't look very happy about the situation however she held onto Saji's other arm. Issei never saw this blue haired woman before however he could feel something, something dark and malicious inside of her that didn't sit well. Lowering his head back down toward the table, Issei didn't want to look anyone in the eyes anymore. Serafall noticed this strange action from her favorite Oppai Dragon crossover co Villain. She did not like how her Issei kun was acting. She wanted to do something to break the ice, (no pun intended).

"Issei! I've missed you so much!" Serafall then spins around in a circle with her magical girl scepter. Afterwards she makes a saluting gesture followed up by a cute wink. "Don't think you will get away without a hug from your Sera-chan!" Serafall then held her arms out while puckering her lips, waiting for the overwhelmed and wayward teen to embrace her.

Issei didn't move or make any gestures. After a few moments of inaction, Serafall places her arms to her sides while looking as though she was about to cry. After an awkward moment or two, the large group of girls and Saji, made their way to yet another set of mats and sat down. Then Akeno walked through the doors along with Kiba, Koneko, Xenovia, Rossweisse, Asia and little Gasper. They immediately went to a set of mats and sat down without giving anyone any eye contact except that of Issei. They were disappointed as they could only see bangs over his face, but they dared not ask about the ears. Lastly, Irina and Gabriel walk through as Kunou is holding both of their hands. The three then walk past the large group of people and sit down on some cushions near the throne area toward the right of the room. After everyone sat down, Yasaka then clapped her hands once. This got everyone's attention.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my home. Would any of you care for some tea, maybe refreshments? Ara, ara, I would hope that you don't think I am a rude host." The fox queen now showed her trademark half crescent smile while closing her eyes.

Issei could feel Yasaka's fox tails increase their caressing while softly tightening. Then, the teen felt two incredibly warm arms wrap themselves around his torso as Yasaka pulled him in closer to her. This action alone caused quite a lot of interesting looks from the other females in the room, (aside from the residents of the home).

Sirzechs then cleared her throat. "Issei".

Issei finally looked back at the Mao as he tried to keep himself from frowning or looking away. "Yes, Mistress Sirzechs Lucifer?"

Attempting to do everything she could to maintain her composure after Issei's cold and formal reply, Sirzechs instead nods while keeping a straight face. "For what my sister did to you. I want you to know something. I don't even have the words to describe my sorrow and disgust for what Rias put you through. I was blind as I doted on my sister far too much. I was so blinded that I couldn't see how much of an evil monster she really was. But Issei, that doesn't matter anymore because I am here now. Grayfia is here now. We aren't mad at you, you did nothing wrong. Why would we be upset with you?" Sirzechs then begins to lose control of her emotions as a few tears escape her blue eyes. "Issei, we love you."

As the entire room breaks out in awe and confusion, Yasaka starts to feel a bit of jealousy and her tails start to tighten even more. Issei notices this and softly pets her tails under the table. Feeling this, the fox queen relents and relaxes herself.

Still looking directly into Sirzechs' eyes, Issei tilts his head a bit. He is doing his best to read this woman. The entire room gets very quiet.

Meanwhile, Gasper is watching the situation play out with great interest. He then gets distracted as the sliding door behind him is slightly cracked. What looks to be a female eye is staring back at him from behind the door. Gasper is transfixed as the door slowly widens just a bit only to reveal the girl's face. "Bianca? Sister? Why aren't you at the clinic? You're supposed to be in a coma!" Slowly and quietly, Gasper makes his way toward the door without any notice as the whole room is currently focussed on Sirzechs and Issei. Gasper's sister smiles and nods as she slides the door open just a bit more for her little brother to fit through. Then, Gasper is now in his big sister's arms as the door slides shut very quietly.

"Sis, you, you're awake!" Gasper is crying into his sister's chest.

She looked to be about the same age as Akeno and Rias. Her hair was pale white and long enough to touch the ground. She was tall and very attractive. She was also wearing a hospital's apron while carrying an IV bag on a stand with wheels.

Biana then began to grin. Her features slowly melted away into a purple mist. What was left was none other than Katerea as she slowly put on her glasses while looking down. As Gasper still held onto her with all of his might, the devil softly patted his white hair.

Then, as she turned her grin into a warm and blushy smile, she spoke quietly in her much deeper voice. "Gasper…you're going to be my one and only."

Surprised by the sudden change in her voice, Gasper then looked up and was about to scream. Now muffled in the cleavage of the Leviathan, Gasper was easily overpowered as the two now disappeared in a purple teleportation circle.

Back in the throne room, the silence continued, that was until Akeno spoke up. "Issei."

Slowly turning his gaze from the frustrated Sirzechs and then Grafia, the boy now met his eyes with the queen of what used to be his peerage. "Akeno?"

The black haired woman decided to stand up as she had both of her arms at her sides. She then proceeded to bow very suddenly. With her head down, he spoke. "I am so sorry, Issei. I tried, I tried to get you out of the way, but I failed. I understand that you must hate me for that. But, but, I tried. I really did. I'm sorry that I never took the time to ask you about how you were feeling for a change. I am a horrible friend and I just want you to know that I feel terrible about it."

Kiba, Koneko and Asia all stood up. They were all about to say something, that was until Koneko noticed somebody was missing from the group.

"Gaspy? Hey, where did he go?" Koneko was beginning to sniff the air.

Kiba then snickered a bit. "I am sure he just got overwhelmed and is hiding somewhere."

Interestingly enough, most of the peerage agreed as the little vampire was very stage fright. As her motherly instincts told her it was better to be safe than sorry, Yasaka called for her guard's attention. "You, please get your people and look for the little vampire devil called Gasper. Check the grounds thoroughly."

The masked female nods and proceeds to rush out of the room. Meanwhile, Issei is noticing everyone's distressed looks, especially his old peerage members and of course, Sirzechs and Grayfia. Looking behind him and toward Yasaka, Issei flicks one of his fox ears as if asking for permission to do something. Noticing this, the worried looking fox queen simply nods back with a slight smile. Ophis and Kuroka were watching their silent conversation with great interest. Issei then walked toward the middle of the room while keeping his head toward the ground. This action alone got everyone's attention on him, once again.

"I wish Gasper was here as I need to get this off of my chest right here and now, before, before, well…" Issei now takes a hard gulp as he lifts his head.

At closer glance, Sirzechs and everyone else involved, noticed the teens' new features. Issei was wearing a white yakata. His usual warm and brown hair now had streaks of gold throughout. His eyes were also very strange. No longer the soft and cedar color, they changed into two different colors all together. Green and gold. His face also had three large whiskers on each side that sprouted from his cheeks. Two long and golden ears were what replaced his human ones. But the most interesting feature, (which was covered by Yasaka own tails earlier), was his very own three large and furry fox tails, all with white tips. Instead of the teens ears being perked up as well as his tails wagging or fluttering about, they were instead, low and immobile as his body posture made him look distressed. Seeing the obvious fox features, most of the room begged to ask the question. What did Yasaka do to Issei and how?

Taking another gulp, Issei continued while trying not to look at anyone too long as he knew he would shy away and look back at the ground or possibly lose his mind. "Rias. Rias. She did something. She, her, erm, ugh!" Issei stopped what he was saying as his eyes began to move around the room rapidly.

Kuroka could sense exactly what was going on and ran toward Issei's side while holding the gauntlet arm in both of her own arms. Then, Kuroka closed her eyes for just a moment as Issei's posture immediately improved. He could feel his soul wanting to skip again, wanting to put him in a place of endless looping. But that was stopped and things were better. Issei could only thank the ever amazing Kuroka with a nod and a smile. Sirzechs' eyes widened at the exchange in energies as she was powerful enough to recognize traces of such a thing happening.

Issei, (with Kuroka still holding onto his arm), continued. "What Rias did to me is worse than anything Raynare could've done."

What the teen just said, (with powerful conviction), made a great deal of the room flinch.

"She, she, played with me. Sirzechs, Grayfia, she hurt me. And I am not talking about the fucking blast either. Yeah, it burned and I can sometimes feel it in the side of my head from time to time, but that's nothing! I thought she loved me. But in the end, it was all manipulation on her part. At least Raynare told me she was going to kill me. And she did. As your sister knew full well, Sirzechs. She counted on it, Sirzechs. Me being killed I mean. Did she ever tell you how she got me? Don't answer the question because I will tell all of you the truth. She had her familiar give me a summoning flier, moments before my "date" with the fallen angel, Raynare. I was toyed-with then killed and it wasn't exactly a quick death either. So, I'm laying on the ground, covered in bleeding holes all over my body. The bitch couldn't even kill me fast, oh no, she had to make me suffer. Speaking of suffering. Your sister comes to the "rescue" and then I wake up in my bed. Now, here is the really fucked up part, if you ask me that is. She left me alone, for an entire day, as a devil mind you, not knowing what the hell was going on. I was fucking scared. Nobody knew what I was talking about when I asked about the girl I was on the date with, she just disappeared. I thought I was going crazy. Again, the entire day, not a word." Issei then looks at Koneko, Kiba and then Akeno. "NOT A WORD FROM ANY OF YOU!"

Yasaka then runs toward her seat and stands near Issei's other side in support. Meanwhile, Sirzechs, Grayfia, Akeno, Koneko, Kiba and even Azazel, are all tearing up. Issei took a deep breath.

"Then, Dohnaseek. After almost getting murdered a second time, then, then your ass of a sister shows up, Sirzechs. Acting like some kind of privileged saint. As if I should be grateful. After that, well, you know practically the rest."

The room goes completely silent minus the sounds of individuals sobbing. Sirzechs was about to say something, that was until a magical orb manifested itself from a large and purple cloud of mist. All of the Knights in the room proceed to go on the offensive and produce their weapons. Then the orb shows an image. It was Katerea Leviathan and Rias Gremory. Both girls were waving while smiling. There was no sound, only visual. Rias then pulled up a large sign that reads; "Gasper Vladi is in our custody. If you want him returned, you will offer up the red dragon emperor, Issei Hyoudou. If you don't deliver Rias's Pawn, then this will continue to happen until you change your mind." After reading the sign, Rias then smirks as the screen moves to what looks like a stage. On said stage was Gasper. He was wearing a brown tuxedo with a bowtie. He was also crying profusely. After we see Gasper being tortured, the screen then moves to a closet that looks as if it can go on for eternity. This entire area was filled to the brim with different types of male clothes and costumes and they all seemed to be in Gasper's little size. Katerea is proudly showing this closet off as if she were a game show host. Then another sign is pulled up by Rias. They are a set of coordinates and a time. It also has instructions on allowing only one person to accompany Issei for the exchange of Gasper. Then Rias blows a kiss at the screen and it goes black. Issei has both of his hands balled up in fists. Sirzechs is flaring her power as is Grayfia. The Gremory Peerage all have looks of sheer horror on their faces. Koneko and Asia are crying.
