The two people who know the pairing as ive spoke with them about it cannot say a word or ill kill them... so yea... enjoy.

His chocolate brown eyes awoke suddenly as the train jerked suddenly. Issei quickly looked around, slightly panicked, his eyes darting everywhere. He was alone on the train and the clock near the door said it was about 1 a.m. It was then he heard a familiar voice, a soothing voice.

"Calm down Issei. You're safe. I rescued you from that evil devil and I've taken you to a train station. I had stolen money from the woman as well. We are on our way to your hometown of Kuou. You want to go there right?"

Issei did a slight nod, his first acknowledgment of any kind.

[Well,] Started Syndragosa with a happy chuckle. [It looks like being freed from the bitch worked wonders.]

No response of any kind.

[Alrighty then, no jokes.] Syndragosa said before a silence fell over the two and the train itself, except the clickety clack of the train on the tracks.

Issei stared out the window across from him, his body never moving and his eyes never leaving the one spot. He was just staring creepily at the outside flashing before his eyes. It was then he shut his eyes tight and a tear escaped him, as the flashing lights before him brought back painful memories.

Syndragosa let out a sigh as she felt the memories herself as she was a part of him. "I wish I could keep more control of you but I'm really tired for some reason. I thought I was sleeping the entire time but I guess I didn't exist until I was put into you. Pity. I will need to sleep soon but can I ask a question?"

No acknowledgement.

[Are you educated by any chance? I wouldn't think you got much of an education considering...]

'I... am educated.'

[He speaks! Well, don't you have such a wonderful voice.]

No acknowledgement.

[Ok fine no more jokes. Sorry. How educated?]

'...College graduate...'

[Suprising... but good. Do you know much about the devil world or the supernatural world at all?]

'...Yes...'

[Well, as you know now, I am Syndragosa. I am one of the legendary dragons in legend, though not much is known about me. I was a very... secluded dragon, only wanting to be left alone. My power was great but I had no interest in conquering anything unlike most dragons. I was killed during the great war between the three-powers, The Fallen Angels, The Devils, and the Angels. The Four Devil Kings sought my power and went to find me. When I refused, they attacked me and slain me while I wasn't looking. They were cowards. Anyways... It is nice to meet you Issei.]

No answer and Syndragosa went silent. After about five minutes Issei spoke up again.

'… Why save someone like me...?'

Syndragosa yawned loudly. [Don't fret child. I have no interesting in enslaving you. I freed you because you needed to be freed. What was done to you was despicable beyond words and I can't fathom being subject to that kind of torture. So for my sake, live your life the way you want to. Be happy and try to live a normal like. I can take control any time you like, but I need my sleep. You will be home in a few hours. Just go home and rest... we can talk later...] Syndragosa said, her voice slowing down as she fell asleep.

Issei just kept quiet the rest of the ride, his eyes closing as he began to sleep as well.

Back in some kind of cavernous mansion, a group of figures were sitting around a round table, in deep thought. Then a man, who was sitting in quite the... expensive chair, spoke up.

"I want that boy with us. He is going to run into a trap at his hometown of Kuou... and I think we can persuade him to join our side."

"Are you sure? The Dragon doesn't like your ancestor. Your father killed him. She could easily wipe you out. You are very strong, as strong as the other two Super-Devils, but she is a unique existence. While not much more powerful in strength then the heavenly dragons, she has unique ability's."

"I am aware of this my dear, Cattleya, but it is of little concern. She should have no problem if the boy wants to join our side. Plus, knowing her own personality, I don't think she will hold a grudge against myself. As for her power... I am still researching a way to get around it. In the mean time, I hold it to one of you to get this boy to join us. Do not fail me."

"Of course not. I will save him at the right time. This should prove that we are on his side..."

"I will leave you to it."

Everyone else nodded and disappeared in magic circles or puffs of smoke, while the leader, who was in the expensive chair, sat back and played with a cup of whine, his thoughts on the future.

Issei was jerked awake by the stop of the train and he noticed that it was his stop. He walked out of the train doors as it began to close on him, but made it through, so he began to walk out of the train station, in which he was frozen on the spot. It was his home. It had changed greatly since he was gone, but it was his home. He would recognize the mountains anywhere and the beautiful trees near the station. The nearby park was unchanged and it would have brought a smile to his face, if he ever showed emotion.

Issei began his trek down the main street, heading towards his home, at least the home he had before if it was still his home. He had no clue if it was still his home or if it was destroyed, if someone moved in or something. No idea.

He made his way up the street and finally stopped in front of his house, looking up at the building. It looked the same and his yard stayed the same at least. He stood there looking up at the house, his fists clenching and unclenching, trying to get the nerve to enter his house. After about two minutes of this, he walked over and reached for the doorknob, giving it a twist. It was locked. He knelt down and felt under the rug for a moment before finding a hidden pocket in the door mat. He pulled out a key and unlocked his door before reaching for the door knob again. He turned it slowly and opened it, releasing the door. He stood there and looked inside, clenching and unclenching once again before entering his home. He looked to his left and spotted the Laundry Room before moving down the main hallway and entering the far door to the right. It was the living room. He flicked a switch and the lights came on, and that is when he saw that his house didn't change at all since he had been gone. It wasn't untouched as the place was clean like someone cleaned it just a few hours ago. The lights still worked and he moved to the kitchen, turning on the light before moving to the fridge. On the fridge was a note.

"Hello Issei, this is the Paramedic who helped your mother out. If you are reading this, then you have returned home. Your mother is in the hospital right now. I will come by every couple months and put a date on the back of this paper to let you know if she is still around when you come back. If you want to come see her, please do. Your mother misses you."

"Sincerly,

Ichika.

Paramedic."

Issei turned the paper over and before he could even get a look at the dates, a sword made of flame embedded itself in the fridge, hitting the piece of paper before lighting it on fire. Issei turned around and was now staring at two figures. One was a blonde haired pretty boy who was wielding a sword. The other one was a short petite girl with white hair with gloves on her hands. Obviously a fist fighter.

"... I missed." Spoke the girl in an emotionless voice.

"Don't worry about it Koneko. I didn't make the best aerodynamic sword anyway." Said the boy with a smile.

"... Let's finish this. We got school in the morning." Koneko said, pushing the dining room table out of the way before charging at Issei. Issei quickly dodged away before making a beeline for the front door. As he did, he did a limbo type move, ducking under the sword of the swordsman. As he made his way out of the house, a bolt of thunder struck down from the heavens, striking right where Issei was going go.

Issei was blown to the side a few yards, sending him into the nearby bushes.

"Aw I missed." Said Akeno, a beautiful girl with a pony tail.

Rias shot a blast of destruction at Issei in the bushes, but he quickly rolled away only to get up quickly.

"In the name of Gremory, I will avenge the murder of Houki by eliminating you. You killed such a sweet girl and it is time for you to face the music. Die." Rias said, not playing around. She shot another blast of destruction at Issei who began to sprint away again. He leapt away from the destruction, sprinting down the street. He was being attacked and chased by beautiful girls and a handsome boy! He really needed help but Syndragosa was sleeping still. As Issei turned the corner to head to the nearby 24 hour mall, a bench flew from behind and hit him in the back, sending him tumbling all over the ground, scraping his body up. He then felt a blade embed itself into his stomach, sending his head back in pain. He wasn't making any sound to indicate he was in pain though. As the swordsman approached his right side, Issei looked at Rias who looked over at him as she walked.

"You do not deserve to live anymore. You who has killed his master, is a stray and it is our duty to eliminate strays in our territory. Thank us for being so merciful as your death will be quick, despite you not deserving such mercy. Now perish." Rias said. Issei laid there accepting his death. He was finally going to be free from his misery and pain, but it seemed he wasn't granted death just yet.

Out from a magic circle appeared a swordsman of some sort, who blocked the swing from the blonde swordsman who was attempting to behead the fallen boy. Out from the same magic circle appeared five more swordsman, all of whom took stances to defend Issei. Once they were in position, a very strong looking man came from the magic circle and approached Issei.

"Come with me if you want to live." Spoke the man in a deep german accent. Issei hesitated but took his hand, as the will to see his mother before he died possessed him to accept the hand. Issei was pulled to his feet and was taken to the magic circle, blooding pouring from his stomach. The man turned to Rias and smiled. "I'll be back."

It was then all of the swordsman, Issei and the strong man disappeared in a flash of light. Rias growled and clenching her fists, looking at the ground where they left.

"Damnit! That little bastard escaped!"

"Rias." Spoke a deep voice. Rias turned around and her eyes went wide.

"Brother!"

"I am sorry to intrude but it seems we uncovered something... disturbing. You should come with us and see for yourself... Houki was not the innocent girl we all knew..."

Rias nodded in confusion, disappearing with her brother. The others also disappeared, going with her.

Issei appeared at the front door of a large mansion, somewhere unrecognizable. The sun was coming out but it was still a place where Issei has never been or seen before. As he entered behind the big man who let him inside, a playful and teasing voice popped out of the darkness of the upstairs.

With two golden cat like eyes, this voice spoke. It was a girl. "Well, who is this cutie pie, Nya?"

Read, Review. Moo.
