Chapter 9: Life and Death

(Issei POV)

As I opened my eyes, I heard cries of sorrows and I feel tears dripping down my cheeks. I see a bright light but, should I go to it? I guess I should. I might as well. I need to find some answers. So I walked to the bright light and once I entered, all I could see are fields of grass as far as the eye can see.

'Where the hell am I?'

I started to walk around; trying to see if anyone is around, but as far as I could tell, nothings here.

I continued to walk some more until I finally see something different. I saw a lake surround by some trees and a giant rock. I heard some laughter so I went around the rock to investigate. I slowly crept around the rock, trying not to alarm the people that were around the giant rock. Once I got around it, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a beautiful girl and.. a dragon?!

"Ddraig?!" I exclaimed.

"Oh, Partner, it seems that you have awoken." he answered.

"Oh? Is this the current Sekiryuutei that you have been talking about Ddraig-san?" the girl asked.

"Haha, yes it is, this is Hyoudou Issei." Ddraig stated.

I gave a pleasant smile, but who is she?

"Ddraig, mind if I ask, who is she? Where am I? Why are you here?" I asked.

"Have you not remembered what happened Sekiryuutei-san?" she asked.

I scratched my head, trying to remember what had happened last.

"Eeeehhh, more or less.." I answered.

"Partner, you are in Limbo right now, this is the world between life and death. This girl right here, is the leader of this world. Her names Calypso" Ddraig answered.

She stood up and grabbed the sides of her skirt and gave a pleasant bow.

"Nice to meet you, Sekiryuutei-san" she said while flashing a warm smile.

I couldn't help but blush at her smile because face it. she looked pretty damn cute.

I scratched my head before spitting out the words that I wanted to say.

"I..er.. The pleasure is mine Calypso-san, and please call me Ise or Ise-kun."

"I see.. Ise-kun" she said while giving off that same, warm smile. I couldn't help to notice and blush.

"Anyways, Partner, do you remember what had happened to you?" Ddraig interrupted.

"Ah, I think it had to do with Hades but that's as much as I could remember."

"So you do remember then, that's mostly right," Calypso said, "You were killed by using a forbidden move that was used in Ddraig's Prime. In other words, the power of that attack was way too much for you to handle and your body burned up."

"EUUUUUUHHHHH?! So I'm dead?!" I said while crying, thinking about the good life I had being a devil. I haven't done quite a lot of stuff while I was alive and I haven't said quite some stuff to certain people. I can't die now!

"Partnter, don't worry, you will be revived." he answered as if he knew what I was thinking.

"You don't know that!" I yelled while crying harder. I really didn't wanna die.

"That may be, but Calypso does."

"Huh? What are you saying?" I asked.

"Well," Calypso chimed in, "I have to thank you for stopping those idiotic three from almost destroying Limbo."

"So as a thanks, I could grant you one wish." Calypso continued, "It could be anything you want, to be revived again, to have a harem, or maybe... me?" She said the last part with a little bit of tease in her voice as she hid the blush that crept her face.

I almost passed out again from blood loss from that last sentence. She is so cute, and the way she said thatalmost made me pass out!

I cleared my throat and said, "I would like to go back. I haven't fully lived out my life yet and there is so many things I want to do. I'm not gonna lie but that was kind of a hard decision."

As I said the last part, Calypso's face turned into a dark shade of red. Realizing what I just said, she replied, "Alright, I will send you back, however.." Calypso stopped, she stood up in front of me and gave me a surprising kiss. I could feel my brain melting as her soft lips crashed against mine. Once she pulled away, I stood there dumbfounded. What the hell just happened?!

"If you ever come back to Limbo, I'm not letting you leave me," she said with a wink.

I gulped.

"Hahahaha, womanizer indeed," Ddraig bursts out laughing.

"Alright Ddraig-san, Ise-kun, this is where we part ways, you have already been gone for about a month now.." she stated.

"EUUUUUUUUH?! It feels like its been 10 minutes!" I exclaimed. That number difference is way too big! I seriously walked over here 10 minutes ago!

"That's how it is in Limbo, every minute is about hours in the human world. This is the realm of the brink of death. Time moves fast."

I gulped even harder. I'm going to become unconcious again once I go back. I made everybody worry too much. Let alone they think I'm dead!

I sighed.

"Well, let's go Ddraig," I said.

"See you again Calypso, and thanks for everything" Ddraig said as he came over to my side.

"No worries at all Ddraig-san, I hope we meet again soon. Good luck with every thing Ise-kun"

I nod, and with a wave of her hand, a bright light appeared before my eyes. Once I opened my eyes once more, I look around and I'm in my room. I look to my side and I see Ayama. She fell asleep right next to my bed. I wonder how long she's been waiting for me to wake up. I took off the bed sheets that were on me real slowly so I don't disturb her sleep. I wish I could've done it more quietly cause once I moved, she yawned and started to wake up. Once she was fully awoken, her eyes were huge like two moons. I gave a warm smile towards her.

"Hey."

"...Ise...?"

Tears were flowing out of her cheeks. I mean I get it, I was gone for a month apperantly. I'd be surprised too if people thought I was dead and I'm actually not. Then out of nowhere she tackled me on the bed and I hit my head on the wall.

"Ahh," I muttered.

"ISE!" She yelled out. She was hugging me really tight and her having vampire powers really doesn't help the fact that I'm being crushed by her, but I don't mind.

I'm back.

"Ise... Please... Don't leave me... ever again..." she said while sobbing. Her head was on my chest and I decided to hug her back. She seemed surprised by my actions as she hugged me even harder.

"I'm sorry for causing alot of trouble to you Ayama." I managed to say. We stayed like this for a while until she said something that completely caught me off guard.

"Say Ise,"

"Hmm?"

"Do you.. w-want to go on a d-date.. with.. me?"

"HUH?" I exclaimed. This was the first time a girl has asked me out on a date. I don't know what to do. It's not like I don't want to go on a date with her, she's really amazing, but what do I do? My tounge's all tied up.

'Guess he doesn't wanna go' thought Ayama as tears started falling down her cheeks again.

Why is she crying? Oh fuck. This is probably my fault.

"Hey, I told you pretty girls aren't suppoused to cry." I said as I picked up her head and wiped her tears away. "

"Sure, I think it'll be fun."

Her face got brighter once I said that. She then realized that our faces are close together and her face flushed really fast. I mustered up all my strength and leaned in to kiss her. Once our lips were about to touch, the door bursted open. Soon enough, my room was crowded with everyone from the ORC and people from the Vali team, and to my surprise, Sirzechs was here as well. Rias jumped on me once she saw that I was alive and well breathing.

"ISE!" She yelled out and hugged me ever harder than Ayama did.

After that, the everybody came in and hugged me. The ORC members, Vali's team, and Sirzechs and Ayama were just standing there, realizing what's happening.

"Glad to see Ise-kun's back" Sirzechs said with a smile.

"By the way Ise-kun," Sirzechs continued. Everyone stopped what they were doing and started listening to Sirzechs.

"I have some news that you will like very, very much."
