[Ddraig Talks Outloud]
[Ddraig Talks Inside Issei's mind]
(I own nothing from Ichiei Ishibumi)
=line break=
"We need to talk". Ophis said.
"About what Ophis?." Issei asked with a smile. Issei was somehow feeling calm with Ophis's presence.
"The dark aura inside you. Your chance to born 'hope' is impossible if it stays inside you. I, sense a fallen angel inside you." Ophis said. Issei was confused. Then, his left backpalm glows green.
[Partner...Its time for you to let it all out] Ddraig said outloud.
"What do you mean Ddraig?. Ophis, what did you mean by a fallen angel which is inside me?."
"Would you die for me. Those are the words I, hear inside your head.". Issei was shocked when Ophis said that.
"But..but how?." Issei asked with a stuttering voice.
[Partner, i can't help it but when i heard those words, i felt your feelings. You were in much depression that i can't enter your thoughts. That Raynare, i still haunting you that badly right?.] Ddraig 's hands were shaking. He felt so good right now that someone will help him get over with everything. Just when Issei's hand's were shaking, Ophis grab onto it.
'would you die for me?'
"Speak. Let it all out.".Ophis said. Issei tried his best not to cry and he did not. His face turned to dead cold expression.
"Yuuma -No, Raynare was my first girlfriend. She is the first person to give me life else Matsuda and Motohama, and prove that i deserve to be loved. When she first ask me on a date that day on the bridge, it was the happiest moment that i ever had. On the date, i did my best for her, i brought her to many fun places and even bought her a bracelet as a sign of our relationship. But when the day of the date ended, she killed me." Issei said and continues.
'Would you die for me?'
"She killed me and said the date was boring and i was not meant to live and to be loved. The person that i really have hopes for me. I really loved her even she killed me. But that night at the church, i hit her. I was mad at her when she killed Asia so i hit her. But when i was gonna kill her by Buchou's orders, she turned into Yuuma and beg me to spare her life, But the most shocking part is when she kept the bracelet that i bought for her on the date. I couldn't kill her so Buchou did it. When she was killed, only her feathers remain. Until this day, i still keep this with me." Issei said sadly, his face did not mean pain but his voice means it. Issei summoned his Boosted Gear. He took something out from under the gauntlet. It was a black feather.
"I kept this feather with me inside the Boosted Gear. To remind me forever that if a girl is close to you, it doesn't mean that she loved you." Issei said while just staring at the feather. A feather that meant a hundred of feelings. Issei then slit it back under the gauntlet then dismissed it.
[Partner... you have done and sacrificed yourself many times for your friends. That blonde haired boy whom you freed him from being an avenger. That half vampire that you helped and encourage him to become braver. That bluenette that you cherished and encourage when she was lost after knowing that god is dead and you asked Michael to let her and that blonde hair girl to pray. That childhood friend of yours whom you protected and care for. That blonde haired girl whom you saved from Raynare that night at the church. That cat-girl whom you helped her to get over her fears and accepted herself as who she is. That raven haired girl that you helped her with her past as a fallen angel and reunite her with her father and...Rias Gremory.. whom you have helped her to get a strong peerage...the one that you saved from her forced wedding to let her have freedom in life...the one that you have protected and helped her alot. You have proved yourself as a man, a nice friend, a protective comrade countless time. Yet, Do you still think that the girls don't love you?...].
"I told you Ddraig... Ones believe that love is proven by many ways... yet, i don't know..that..if they loved me or no...". Issei said with sadness in his tone... He tried not to cry as he doesn't want to have his face looked pathetically.
Why he doesn't believe that the girls loves him that deeply? He thoughts about it all... Xenovia just wants a strong children by having..ehem S with him, Irina was just a caring childhood friend to Issei, Asia just loves and sees him as a big brother, Koneko just uses him as a furniture and a sand bag, Akeno was just spoiling Issei as a junior, and Rias, was just being affectionate to her servants as the Gremory was known for it's affection to their servants plus, Issei thought that Rias was just showing her ehem O to him so he can become stronger. The girls that always slept with him every night, he thought that was just because the girls are competing against each other. All of it doesn't matter to Issei, he thinks that they were being nice to him as... a friend, a comrade and he thought that he will never deserve love. He even remembered that they say, they liked him. This made Issei down for weeks yet, he just hid it with his perverted side.
[Partner... what are you going to do when the girls arrived. Do you wish to stay with them after they ignore your feelings and ending up your heart to be crushed?. Do you wish to still be their friends and comrade?.] Ddraig asked. There was a moment of silence before Issei can answer.
"I... was upset that the fact that they insult me that day, i can't believe that they cannot see it in me. The day that i was in the hospital, when i watch them fight, i felt nothing about them and i think i don't care about them anymore..." Issei then remembered the whole thing that Raynare said to him.
-I don't want a filthy low-class devil like you talking to me.
"At times, i wonder if it's ok for me to talk to everyone.."
-Ahahaha! Yeah, you are right! It was a very royal date! Thanks to it, I was very bored!
"I wonder if they are actually bored being with me when we went shopping together..."
-I don't want a rotten brat like you calling my name!
"I wonder if they are actually disgust with me calling their names..."
-Ise-kun! Please save me! This devil is trying to kill me! I love you! I love you so much! That's why, let's defeat this devil together!
"It's a pain to hold all this questions when i am near them, I am lost Ddraig... I don't want to be near them... I know that they are good people and they are always being kind to me but ,I am scared if i tried to advance the relationship with them that will make me be rejected and laughed again..." . Issei said with a low tone.
"...However..." Issei raised his head to look at Ophis.
[Hmm?]
"I must be by their side. I must encourage them and be their mental support. I promised Koneko-chan and Akeno-san that i will help them to get over their fear. I promise Asia that i will never leave her and transform into Juggernaut Drive again. I promised that i will protect Xenovia and Irina as friends and help them with their fears. I promised Gasper that i will train him to be a fearless and brave man. I promised Kiba that we will become Ultimate-class devils and i promised to Buchou that i will be the Ultimate-pawn. I will also protect Rossweise-san as a comrade. To be with them is not for my own sexual desire, I will protect them to see them happy. When they are happy, that makes me happy too. I saw the pain and their traumatic past in their eyes and i swear that i will protect them from the events that almost took their lives happening again. That is what i swear upon my life Ddraig, Ophis. To protect my dear ones and... i admit that i loved the girls, i loved them so much but, this is my curse, i cannot confess it to them. It is ok if my relationship with them stays like it and i will never be loved by them." Issei said in a determined tone. Forgetting his traumatic past and the fact that his friends could not understand his feelings for a moment.
[Partner..It is not my choice but would you do it for their own sake?, wou-would you endure it all?, the pain and sufferings? even though they will never understand your feelings in the end? and they will repeat the same act and got you in a life and death situation again?.] Ddraig said with a bit choke meaning he was sympathic for his partner. Issei nods
"The pain and suffering that i will face, is nothing compare than the one when i see them sad...suffering ...and ...crying over my own mistake... If they will never understand my feelings...then i will wait...until the day i'll have my last breath." Issei said with a mix of determination and sadness.
[You know partner...I want you to know that there is a keyword for you. What you have in your heart and soul is considered a truly unique gift among devil and dragons. Do you know what is it?."
"What is it?..."
[Selflessness... You are caring, courageous, kind and had a golden heart behind your perverted self. Most dragons and devils are naturally selfish but you here, show selflessness even you are mixed with both of the race. Although your selflessness will get you into more pain and sufferings, you accepted it with open arms just to see others happy. If that Asia, Xenovia, Irina, Akeno, Koneko and Gremory girl doesn't deserve your love, i am sure that there are more woman in this universe would love your act of kindness, caring, selflessness and devotion. If you are willing to endure the pain and just suffer for the next thousand years, then there is nothing that i can do to stop you. Good night partner..You too, Ophis." Ddraig said. Ophis patted Issei's left back palm before Ddraig dismissed.
Then, what happened to Issei was shocking. Issei was not sulking or sobbing at all but, there it was, a blood tear coming out from his left eye. Issei's cold expression doesn't match the bloody tears that is flowing from his eyes but it was enough to prove that he is in deep pain. He will take the pain and suffering forever just for other's sake. He can just stop calling them his friends and leave but why didn't he do that? cause he love them its just, he was afraid confessing to them will end up their relationship. Ophis then handed out a tissue box to Issei which Issei took it.
"The blood tears of a dragon. I, never thought that i will witness it again." Ophis said. Issei did not wipe the tears.
"B-blood tears?..." Issei asked in confusion
"The tears of a pure hearted dragon like you. Issei. There are not many dragons that are kind hearted this age. When a dragon like you promises to protect its loved ones dearly. This happens. "Ophis said.
"Issei. Are you sure. that you will take this responsibility and protect your friends forever?." Ophis said emotionless.
"i will endure the insults, pain and suffering. as i deserve it because i'm just a lowly person who does not deserve love. But, if there is a step to make my friends and dear ones happy, then i will take it even it will cost my life. Ophis, you are my friend too so i will be protecting you as i swear upon myself." Issei said with a smile. He wiped some of the tears but it's still running down his cheeks.
It was then, the dragons heard sobbings outside of the room, Issei then look at the door to see it opened. It was his friends! the ORC group!, crying with tears running down their cheeks and they keep wiping them off. Xenovia and Irina were hugging while crying. Gasper was sobbing. Kiba was leaning at the wall but facing it as he close his eyes with his arms, crying. Asia was sitting on the floor crying heavily while Akeno trying to calm her. Rias was crying as well. Koneko was letting her tears out and let it run down her cheeks. She was looking right at Issei who had a blood tear on his left cheek, her eyes were covered by her bangs.
"You guys!, why are you crying?!, are you hurt?." Issei asked trying to cover with going back to his normal personality and walked to the door only to be pushed back to the bed by Koneko. Issei was suprised by the sudden attack. Issei was now leaning back at the headboard of the bead, Koneko was on him.
"Ko-koneko-chan?!, what are you doi-!?" Issei was blocked from completing his sentence when Koneko, suddenly kissed him deeply!. Issei was shocked so he didn't return the kiss to her. Koneko was discovering all parts of his mouth with her tongue erotically. Issei could feel the hot tears that was flowing on Koneko's cheek. When the kiss departed, there was a thread of saliva between their lips. Meanwhile the others have walked in while Kiba and Gasper was giving space to the girls. Koneko then spoke out while her head rested on Issei's chest.
"I'm sorry Issei-senpai...for ignoring your feelings..." Koneko said while sobbing. "Ko-koneko-chan, you guys heard all of it?...". "All of it, from the beginning..senpai...". "I-issei-san..". Issei then turned his head to Asia, then he was kissed by Asia on the lips but this time gently. Issei wasn't returning the kiss as he was shocked by the sudden attack by the girls. When the kiss departed, Asia grabbed Issei's hands and place it on her chest. She the opened her mouth while still crying.
"Issei-san, i'm sorry for m-making you cry that bad.. Issei-san p-please forgive us.." Asia said with a choke meaning she was crying. Issei was still surprised of the condition. Then he was being clinged by Xenovia and Irina. " Xe-xenovia?!.. Irina!?...". Issei was still leaning to the headboard.
"Haaauuuu!, Ise-kun! Ise-kun! Ise-kun! Ise-kun!." Irina cried out while she was hugging Issei from his left. "I don't know that the man that i chose would stay this strong.." Xenovia said while her tears are just flowing from her eyes, hugging Issei from his right and slowly her head went under his neck.
"Ise-kun...". It was Akeno. Xenovia then moved away from Issei to give Akeno her time after giving him a peck to his cheek. Akeno then hugged Issei tightly in a flash of light then she opened her mouth.
"Please don't ever leave me Ise-kun, i-im sorry for ignoring your feelings all this time... i don't want to live in a world without you so please, forgive me Ise-kun *sniff*" Akeno said while she keeps crying and her head leaning on Issei's shoulder. "Akeno...-san.". Issei said. He then moved away from the headboard as he noticed Rias behind Akeno. He then stood up after moved Koneko away, only to be attacked by Rias.
"Ise!." Rias then hugged Issei tightly making Issei realized something. The girls were just taking turns hugging him. "I- i'm a horrible person am I?...". "Bu-buchou, but why?..." Issei said as he pushed Rias slowly from the hug. Rias then let him to sit on the bed while the girls are beside him. Rias knelt in front of him, grabbing on his right hand.
"I-i am so sorry for letting you be in such pain Ise, we..we don't know that Raynare is still torturing you until this day, we didn't mend your heart but instead breaking it more, i-im- no, we're so sorry for letting you suffer just for our sake... So please, have courage and forgive us for being so selfish Ise..". Rias said while wiping his left eye. Unknown to Issei, his eyes were forming fear in it. "This tears of blood... were said to only have by kind hearted dragons... you are one of them Ise...". Rias said while her face was leaning closer to Issei's, preparing to kiss until..
"No...not with a loser like me..Buchou.. you guys...". Issei said with another tear of blood forming on his right eye and continues flowing.
"Please Ise-senpai, we all love you..". Koneko said at the left side of Issei. Irina was next to her on the bed.
'Lies...' Issei said with his eyes were in fear, looking at Koneko.
"That's right Ise, i'm sorry for making you suffer because my way to prove my love to you was wrong...".Xenovia said. She was on the right of Issei on the bed with Asia and Akeno next to her.
'This..Lies...'
"Ise-san, please..please see that i loved you not as an Onii-sama, but as a man." Asia said with a hint of sadness in her voice. issei then remembered a flash of Raynare.
-Ise-kun! Please save me! This devil is trying to kill me! I love you! I love you so much! That's why, let's defeat this devil together!
'This is all lies...' Issei thought as he wanted to tear up until...
"This is not lies Ise-kun...". Issei was snapped out of his thought when Akeno suddenly spoke up. Akeno then hugged Issei from the back while her arms wrapped Issei's neck.
"Please believe that... This is not lies Ise-kun... we truly loved you, you have done more for us then anyone would do. You are selfless, kind, brave and caring. You sacrificed a lot for us and you protected us from harm. You helped us to find hope and encourage us to get over our fears. You, the one who have suffered countless times.. Is our 'light' and love. Please Ise-kun, please!, Please believe that deep in your heart, that we love you deep from our souls. Now and forever." Akeno said then she was crying heavily while hugging onto Issei. Issei was shocked and still processing his mind on what Akeno said. Koneko then hugged Issei from the side.
"Ise-senpai... we are not like Raynare...". Koneko said. No longer crying but there are tears in her eyes. Issei's eyes widened as he heard what Koneko said .
"Ko-koneko-chan.." Issei looked at Koneko. No longer with his frightened eyes.
"Ise-kun, what happened between you and your ex-girlfriend will not happen again..." Irina said then she hugged onto Issei. "I'm sorry for saying horrible things to you Ise-kun, I wish i known better about your trauma..." Irina said as she started to cry slowly. The girls then started to hug onto Issei. Kiba and Gasper approached as well then hugged Issei. They were all crying again as they tried to regain Issei's belief and courage. Issei slowly realized that the girls truly loved him. He then started to cry as well but this time, there were no blood. He then spoke up with a small smile on his face.
"Buchou-No, Rias.." Issei said blushily.
"Y-y-yess?." Rias respond, flabbergasted.
"I'm sorry for not participating in the rating game before, I was a terrible servant for abandoning my duty as a pawn."
"No-not at all Ise, It was my fault too to got you heartbroken..."
"I-i want to make it up for you, and all of you girls...". Issei said. The hug departed after Issei said so.
"I want to confess to you girls.. that...". Issei said and lowered his head with a smile on his face. The girls plus Kiba and Gasper were waiting his answer.
"i-i love you, Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Asia, Xenovia, Irina. I loved you all deep inside my heart. I want to thank you for giving me the second chance in life for proving that i am worthy of being loved once more. I...i..". Issei couldn't complete his sentences as he was crying happily. The girls were blushing hapilly after the confession that Issei declared. Plus, he called them by their names casually.
"We love you too, Ise..". The girls said in unison and they were also crying. They then hugged Issei tightly. They were sobbing. Kiba and Gasper also cried because they were moved.
"You guys... please don't cry, i-i felt terrible for it...". Issei said as he was healed by the girls. He felt like Raynare was slowly disappearing from his soul. He then looked at the door. There were Ophis, Azazel, Rossweise and the Vali-team. Azazel put on a smile and gave him a thumbs up. Rossweise smiled while placing her hand on her forehead and shook her head, seeing the high school students doing such thing is a no no to her. Vali just smirked and left the place along with Bikou and Arthur. Le Fay was there, crying because she was moved by their friendship. Kuroka just stood there with a smile. Ophis gave a small smile to Issei while she was listening to the Ipod.
