Chapter 8: 10 days of training
"You know for a devil, your stamina is pathetic." Itachi said walking up a mountain next to Issei, further up was Rias, Akeno and Asia waiting.
"You know I liked it better when you only showed up to help us." Issei commented while panting.
"Technically I'm helping you guys now to train for the Rating Game."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Itachi, Issei hurry up!" Rias said.
"Roger!" Itachi said and suddenly ran up in a high speed.
Now Itachi, Rias, Akeno and Asia was watching Issei struggle to walk up while carrying a bag. "U-Um, Should I help him carry the bags" Asia asked.
"It's okay. Issei has to be able to handle this." Rias told to the worried nun.
"I'm going on ahead." Kiba said while passing Issei carrying a bag of equal size to Issei.
"Damn you for showing off how easy you have it!"
"Pardon me." Koneko said while passing Issei carrying a bag ten times bigger than his. Making Issei fall on his back.
As he got up sitting on his knees. "I give up!"
Itachi and Rias looked at Issei, then looked at each other and smiled.
Flashback
"So we have ten days to prepare." Itachi said. And Graifya nodded.
"Given the differences in experience and resources between Rias-ojusama and Riser, I believe this is necessary to level the playing field." Graifya explained to Itachi and Rias.
"I hate to admit it, but I have to agree." Rias said with a little disappointment.
"I agree that they need time to prepare, but I still don't see why I couldn't just fight Riser here and now and be done with it." Itachi commented.
"Even if you may possess the skills needed for this task Itachi-sama, it would still be a great learning experience for Rias-ojusama's peerage." Grayfia answered.
"I'm going to take you up on your offer and use the time for training." Rias accepted the offer.
"Rias trust me it will be okay, as long as you leave Riser to me." Itachi said putting his hand on her shoulder.
Rias shrugged Itachi's hand off and turned to him with a little angry expression. "And as for you mister."
"U-Um did I do something wrong?" Itachi questioned tilting his head to the side.
"I want you to tell what you have done these past years! Who you met, where you've been, what you ate and where you slept!" Rias said while pointing her finger at him and tapping her foot.
Itachi sweat drooped. "What are you my mother?"
Rias then began lightly punching him in the chest while muttering. "Baka Itachi."
Itachi smiled then brought his hand up and then.
POKE
Itachi poked Rias's forehead making her look up at him. "Please forgive me Rias."
She pouted a little turned her head to her side. "Fine I forgive you, but you're still going to tell me everything."
Flashback end
They arrived at the training ground which was a mansion. "Still going all fancy huh?" Itachi said in a whispering tone.
"Let's get inside and start training right away." Rias said.
"Training!?" Issei yelled out.
"You do know that's what you're here for right." Michael said appearing out of a magic circle.
"Why didn't you walk the mountain like the rest of us!?" Issei yelled out his question again.
"I'm not a part of Rias's peerage so not my training, the only reason why I'm here is because this is considered a club trip, as the teacher responsible for this club it's my duty to be here." Michael answered.
Once everyone had changed they went out for a training lesson.
Issei was about to face Kiba in his first lesson. They were both facing each other holding wooden swords.
"Let's see if I can do this!" Issei said to himself, then charged at Kiba swinging the sword at him but Kiba used his sword to block all of the attacks.
"It's not simply about swinging your sword. Watch your opponent and surroundings." Kibas instructed.
Issei then swung the sword at Kiba who simply dodged and smacked the sword out of Issei's hands. "Just as expected of a knight." Issei complimented.
"Hey, don't let your guard down!" Kiba said and smacked the sword at Issei's head.
"Ow!" Issei grunted in pain.
Kiba looked at Itachi and said. "Uchiha-san, do you wanna try?"
"You can call me Itachi if you want Kiba-san."
"O-Oh, well then Itachi-san how about it?" Kiba said handing a wooden sword to Itachi.
"Fine." Itachi said and took a stance.
Kiba looked and studied Itachi's posture, and widened his eyes in shock. 'Remarkable, I can't find a single weak spot on his entire body his defense is outstanding.' Kiba thought.
"Well, are you going to attack me or not." Itachi said remaining calm.
Kiba charged at Itachi, but Itachi blocked every blow. Kiba swung from the side aiming for Itachi's head.
Itachi simply ducked and swung at Kiba's feet making him fall to the ground, as he was about to get up Itachi pointed the wooden sword at his chin. "You lose." Was all Itachi said.
"Hey, Itachi!" Michael said.
When Itachi turned around, he saw a fist flying towards him which he caught.
"Hm, you don't need this training. If you could block that then you can beat Riser." Michael said walking away. While Itachi was staring at his hand a little shocked. "By the way, that punch only had five percent of my full power." Michael said with a little smirk on his face.
'I guess they don't call him the strongest for nothing, even if it was only five percent it still felt like a meteor hit my hand. I have no doubt that he wouldn't even have to use over half of his power to beat tou-san. Maybe even less than half of his power.' Itachi thought while looking at his twitching hand.
Issei and Asia had a lesson of magic with Akeno. Issei then went on to a lesson with Koneko in fighting and got his ass handed to him.
Then there was one lesson Rias dragged Itachi to, her lesson.
"I can't believe you made me wear this." Itachi said looking at the pink apron around him that matched Issei's.
"So we have to cook?" Issei asked.
"Just use you're magic to cook." Rias said before walking out and taking a picture of Itachi.
"What did I do to deserve this?" Itachi asked while his eye twitched.
"You did leave her for seven years." Issei said with a nervous chuckle.
"Well since we're here we might as well make something." Itachi said.
""Right"" Both Issei and Asia replied.
"Water, please boil!" Asia said while using her magic to make it boil.
Issei looked a little jealous then he got a perverted face, and the onion in his hand peeled itself. "Huh?" and then again with a potato. "Wow, potatoes are easy as well!"
"This is amazing, Issei-san!" Asia praised.
"It wasn't in form earlier, but this is my true power." Issei said with confident smile as he sparkled.
"Peeling vegetables is your true power?" Itachi asked in a joking tone.
"Sh-Shut up!"
"You were imagining Akeno naked weren't you?" Itachi asked.
"What are you a mind reader!" Issei yelled.
"No but I can read facial expressions." Itachi then continued on cooking when he realized something. "Oh, and Hyoudou-san. Even though Michael-san doesn't seem interested in Akeno he actually is, although he won't admit it."
"How do you know that?"
"Well one time when he had come to visit us, some boys were hitting on her and he scared them so much that they ran home crying."
"Huh, so what your saying is when his around and sees me looking at her like that, he will.."
"Beat you into a bloody pulp."
"Well then let's get back to cooking!" Issei said, but his face told us that he was scared.
Issei then went and used his power to peeled every onion and potato in the room.
"Ups." Issei said and rubbed the back of his head with a nervous laughter.
"It's fine." Itachi said.
"Really?"
"Yes, because I'm not going to stop until it's all perfect!" Itachi proclaimed.
""EEEEEEEEEHhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"" Both Issei and Asia screamed.
"Damn I got some sweat on this potato, quick throw it away and hand me a new one!" The perfectionist Itachi demanded.
Later at the dinner table
Issei had to literally drag Itachi out of the kitchen in order to stop his cooking rain of terror. In the end they had to serve every potato and onion that Issei peeled.
Issei was staring at something shocking. Koneko was sitting on Itachi's lap and refused to budge. Then there was the scary thing which was the cold glares Rias was giving Itachi and Itachi actually sweated a little.
Rias then turned to Issei. "Issei?"
"Yes."
"How are you feeling after the first day of training?"
"Well, I was the weakest."
"Yes without a doubt." Rias said. "But, Asia's healing ability and your Boosted Gear are both valuable resources to us. Our opponents are aware of this too, so make sure you can at least protect yourselves and don't drag the others down."
""Understood."" Asia and Issei replied.
"By the way Uchiha-san?" Issei asked.
"Just call me Itachi, Hyoudou-san."
"Oh, very well then Itachi-san please call me Issei."
"Understood, Issei-san. Now what did you want to ask me?"
"Oh, right do you have any Sacred Gear?" Issei asked.
"No, I do not."
"Then what do you use?"
"I use an ancient magic, called dragon slayer magic, as well as ninjustu."
"Dragon slayer magic?" Issei questioned.
"Ninjutsu?" Asia questioned.
"Ninjutsu, it's not magic. You use something called chakara, to draw the power from within you then use that power to attack." Itachi explained ninjutsu. "As for dragon slayer magic, it's basically magic designed to kill dragons."
"That sounds awesome." Issei said. "Who thought you those things?"
"Well my biological parents thought me ninjutsu, and my adoptive father thought me dragon slayer magic."
"Wow."
"Oh, and my adoptive father is actually a dragon."
"…."
"…."
"EEEEEEEEeeeeeehhhhhhhh!" Issei yelled. "Wait your father is a dragon!"
"Yes." Itachi replied.
"Then why would he teach you magic to destroy dragons! Is he suicidal!"
"No, there was just not another type of magic he could teach me."
Issei sighed then it dawned on him. "Hey, what happened to your real parents?"
Itachi took a long break before answering. "They died."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."
"It's alright it happened a long time ago don't worry about it." Itachi ensured with a smile.
Rias gave a small smile before standing up from her chair. "Okay, since we've finished eating, let's take a bath."
"A bath!?" Issei said excitedly standing up.
"Hey, Itachi want to go in together with us? I won't mind." Rias said turning towards Itachi. "I mean we've done it before."
"Back then we were kids, and you dragged me there." Itachi said with his eyes narrowed.
"Would you mind Akeno?" Rias asked completely ignoring what Itachi said.
Akeno gave a chuckle. "I wouldn't mind if Michael-sensei can come to."
"LIKE HELL I WILL!" Michael yelled instantly with his cheeks blushing red.
"That's fine with me. How about you Asia?" Rias asked Asia as everyone ignored Michael's objection.
"U-Um, if Issei-san can come then I'm fine." Asia responded making Issei smile with joy.
"Sure why not. What do you think Koneko?"
"I would rather die." Koneko said, but then gained a small pink blush. "But I don't mind if it's Itachi-senpai."
Michael sighed in a little relief, while Issei was sending death glares at Itachi.
"Yeah, Rias that's not happening." Itachi said.
Rias gained a slightly sad expression. "Too bad then."
Koneko then stared at Issei. "If you peek I will kill you."
The hot springs male side
Itachi was laying in the water relaxing, Kiba was washing himself, Issei was staring at the wall to the girls side like crazy.
"You know that you can't see through walls right!?" Itachi asked.
"Shut up this is a part of training!" Issei said and returned to stare at the wall.
"Is Issei-kun trying to be clairvoyant?" Kiba asked.
"A stupid pervert that's what he is." Michael said entering the hot springs.
"Ah, Michael-sensei you made…" Kiba froze for a moment.
"What's wrong Kiba-san?" Michael asked.
"U-Um, excuse me Michael-sensei." Kiba said before going to Issei dragging him away from the wall and towards Itachi.
"What's the big idea Kiba, you interrupted my concentration!"
"What is it Kiba-san?" Itachi asked.
"U-Um there is something with Michael-sensei, and I don't know how to tell him so I hoped one of you could."
"Tell him what?" Issei asked.
"You will know it when you see it." Kiba said.
'The hell are they doing over there?' Michael thought. They directed their heads towards him, Itachi looked like he normally does with his usual blank face, while Issei had a shocking expression. They walked up to him.
"U-Um, Michael-sensei there is something wrong with your leg." Issei said.
"Huh?" Michael looked down and looked back at them. "Um, guys that's not my leg.
""WWWWWWHHHHHHAAAAAATTTTT!"" Both Issei and Kiba yelled.
"I see so that's your.." As Itachi was about to finish his sentence, Issei placed his hand over Itachi's mouth.
Time skip
"Well, we devils, the fallen angels and God with his heavenly angels, waged a huge war a long time ago that seemed to last an eternity. No one really won when all was said and done. The war ended with all sides suffering heavy casualties." Rias explained to Issei and Asia while everyone else just sat and listened.
"Some of those casualties included the five great warrior clans, like the Shadow Demons where I come from to extinction in fact I'm the only one left. All the members of the other four clans died and I was the last survivor of the Shadow Demons. We didn't only lose several bloodlines but we also lost the Demon Lord Satan, and also the four maous that took over after him, died at the end so we had to get new ones. Lucifer, Leviathan, Beelzebub and Asmodeus the four maous." Michael explained.
Rias continued. "To make up for our near eternal lifespan, we demons reproduce very slowly. Due to the war, the species itself is at the brink of extinction. After the hostilities, the families of noble and pure-blooded demons, known as the 72 pillars, mostly died out. My family – the Gremory house, Sona's family – the Sitri house, and Riser Phoenix are some of the houses remaining. This is why we demons use resurrected humans as our servants. Subsequently, the Rating Game was created. It allows our servants to gain real battle experience, and gives us masters a chance to demonstrate our abilities. Currently, one's performance in these games has a huge influence on rank and position." Rias finished her explanation. "We should take a break now."
"I'll go make some tea." Akeno said and left.
"Ah, I'll help." Asia was about to go when.
"Asia." Issei said. "Sorry about last night."
"Oh no! You were really amazing back th-"
Issei hushed Asia. "Let's keep it our secret for now."
"Our?"
"It's still not done and far from usable."
"I get it. I'll help you until your ultimate move is complete!"
"Ultimate move?" Kiba asked.
"It's a secret!" Asia said.
Rias latter asked Asia to explain about the tools and exorcist uses against demons, and how holy water is dangerous, crosses and the Bible, she then tried to read from it over and over again only to get a headache.
Time skip nighttime
Itachi was doing some shuriken training outside, as he threw one directly on the mark.
"Itachi?" it was Rias wearing her night gown and she was wearing a pair of glasses.
"Rias?"
"What are you doing up so late?" Rias asked him.
"A little training. You?"
"I'm going through some strategy for the Rating Game."
Itachi then went up to her. "Since when do you use glasses?"
She blushed a little. "I-I use them because I like wearing them when I read."
"You're worried?" Itachi asked.
"We are up against the immortal Phoenix, of course I'm worried."
POKE
Itachi poked Rias's forehead. "Wh-What was that for?" Rias asked.
"Baka, since when is immortal the same as invincible." Itachi said with a smile. "I told you didn't I just to leave him to me."
"…" Rias nodded her head.
"So don't worry, there is no way I'm letting you marry a guy like him. I will defeat him no matter what."
"Why? Why do you care who marries me?" Rias asked, with hope that Itachi would confess.
"Firstly I will only let you marry the guy you want, secondly because you deserve better than a guy who only sees you for your body and family name, and thirdly…" Itachi extended his hand and placed it around Rias head pulling her in so their foreheads connect. "We are friends after all, so of course I would help you." Itachi said with a smile before letting her go.
"Itachi when you look at me what do you see?" Rias asked.
"Hm, I see my childhood friend Rias who has become quite the beautiful woman."
Rias grew a few tears in her eyes before embracing Itachi in a hug.
Itachi smiled and petted her head. "Just leave it to me, it will be alright I promise."
Next morning
Everyone was gathered outside. "Use your Boosted Gear, Issei." Rias said.
"But you said I shouldn't use it during this camp."
"Without my permission, I meant. Itachi be his opponent will you."
"Of course." Itachi said.
"Boosted Gear!" Issei exclaimed releasing the red dragon gauntlet.
Boost!
"Try again!" Rias said.
Boost!
"Once more!"
Boost!
"Still not enough!"
Boost!
"One more time!" Rias demanded.
Boost!
"Try again!"
Boost!
"Stop, you see Issei you weren't abel to do so many boost's before this camp, this is the result of your training." Rias said. "Now, begin!"
"Let's go Boosted Gear!" Issei said.
Explosion!
Issei started to glow, he concentrated his magic into the palm of his gauntlet creating a small red orb.
Itachi started to inhale his breath.
Dragon Shoot!
Issei shoot a red beam from his sacred gear.
Blaze meteor dragon: Roar!
Itachi let out a huge amount of flames
The beam and flames collided, each attack trying to push each other back. Eventually both attacks created an explosion.
"This is my power." Issei said before collapsing to the ground.
"Issei-san!" Asia went to Issei's side.
"Guess he used up all his energy." Rias said. But she was shocked to see Itachi lifting Issei up by his collar.
"If this is all you have?" Itachi questioned.
"Yeah. What of it." Issei said.
Itachi then threw Issei on the floor. "For the next days of this camp, I will train you personally."
Issei gulped. "When do we start?"
"Right now."
"Wh-What?"
Itachi turned his eyes into eternal mangekyou sharingan.
Tsukuyomi
Issei looked around as everything turned black and white. "What is this?"
"It's my strongest illusion, it's called Tsukuyomi. This is where we will train for one year." Itachi said.
"A year, but the game is in a few days!"
"In this world, time, space, even substance I control it all."
"What the hell those that mean."
"I will be able to mentally train you for a year and it will only take a second in the real world." Itachi explained.
"Seriously?"
"Yes, but before we begin there is someone you should meet."
"Who?" Issei asked.
"Me!" A large voice was heard.
When Issei turned around he saw a large western dragon.
"I'm D-draig the dragon that resides in your arm!"
"Wait, you're the dragon in my arm?"
"That's right, partner. Although I 'am surprised to see someone else with those eyes!" D-draig said turning to Itachi.
"How do you know of the sharingan?" Itachi asked.
"Sharingan?" Issei questioned.
"One of my former wielders, Menma Haruyoko my most power fullest wielder faced against a man with those eyes, his name was Kai. He was known as the second strongest human after Menma, once comrades in arms but as times went they became mortal enemies. That is until Menma killed Kai."
"I see."
"Anyway, shall we begin the training or what!"
""Yes."" Both Itachi and Issei replied.
The real world
"There, were done." Itachi said getting back up.
"Done with what you just sat there for one second, and now your saying you're done?" Rias asked.
"I took Issei into an illusion world for one year, while it only took a second out here." Itachi explained.
""WHAT!"" Everyone besides Michael screamed.
"He really has improved mentally now I will work on his physical abilities. Ready to master what you did in the Tsukuyomi realm." Itachi said
"Hell yeah!" Issei replied with a big smirk.
And that's it for now!
Okay next time the Rating Game begins!
So far I have got one suggestion for Issei's harem.
Oh, and if you want Itachi to have a harem or not then leave it in the reviews. Also leave more suggestions for harem candidates.
Issei harem: Asia(main), Xenovia, Irina
Itachi so far only have a love triangle drama with Rias and Koneko. And remember if you want Itachi to have a harem or not leave it in the reviews.
-Later
