Exodus12345: Issei's still getting the most.

XxKonekoLoverxX: Thanks for loving my Tiamat. But since this is my story, I can pair her with whomever I want. If you're thinking of Issei, remember that Ddraig's terrified of her.

RAZE643: BE CALM!

Chapter 12: The Challenger is Here!

Issei Hyoudou groaned as he just floundered into his bed. On the positive side, Motohama had Awakened his Devil Fruit and had successfully gotten a Familiar from the {Familiar Forest}. On the negative side, the Familiar in question had nearly killed him, which prompted his Fruit to Awaken for him, then chased him down to create a Familiar Pact herself.

Meeting Tiamat in the flesh had been really exhausting, as Issei and his group (Yes, including Asia and Sohara) had been caught in a constant pull between terror and arousal at the sight of Tiamat's human form.

Ddraig had been stuck in full terror.

"Long time no see, Ddraig. Issei Hyoudou, you and Motohama should be sure not to die until Ddraig returns what he took from me, okay?"

When Tiamat had requested a friendly spar between all members of the {Red Dragon Horde}, the terror increased after the torturous training session.

"I need a quick bath..." Issei muttered as he prepared for the bathroom. To his surprise, Asia Argento was already there.

"S-Sorry! I'll leave right now!" Issei floundered but stopped in surprise as Asia tugged on his wrist.

"I-I'm sorry." Asia's blush was even heaver than Issei's as she fidgeted. "I'm all fluttered from seeing your... you know, again."

"No, it's my fault. My mind was elsewhere." Issei replied, gently trying to tug his wrist out of Asia's surprisingly strong grip. "I didn't realize that you were in here, Asia."

"But... it's all right now." Asia stood up. "Aika-san told me that in Japan, there's a rule about being naked in the tub together and by interacting over a bath, it's said a pair can come to understand each other deeper."

'Aika! What the fuck did you teach my nun?! If anyone's teaching her pervy stuff, it's supposed to be me!'

"J-Just like that night, I would like to understand you a bit more, Ise-kun!" Asia softly declared as she pressed herself against Issei.

"Well, if you're willing..." With little hesitation, Issei groped her ass, which elicited a cute yelp from Asia as her cheeks reddened further. Still, she made no movement to dislodge his hand, gazing instead at his smooth, kissable lips.

As if reading her mind, Issei leaned down a touch more to her height and then kissed her. It was a light little thing, smooching her on the lips briefly and then pulling back to see her reaction; chuckling when he saw her blushing furiously.

''Mmph~'' Asia shuddered as he gave her ass another firm squeeze in appreciation, tempting her to reach down and grab his cock.

Just feeling his hot shaft in her hands, held between her palm and fingers, ignited a fresh heat inside of Asia.

The nun pushed past it, swallowing her embarrassment as she held his shaft and started to stroke it, her fingers gripping his cock as she worked. Issei shivered, the rising look of lust across his face turning her on and encouraging her to eagerly keep working her wrist and pumping his cock.

Another kiss sealed their lips together, muffling her moan when his other hand came up – grabbing ahold of her right breast. His fingers dug into her soft flesh and he hefted it about, squeezing it at the same time and fueling the want that bubbled up within Asia, love and lust mixing into a horny mess inside of her.

The hissing spray of hot water that fell over them only heightened that want, her skin tingling pleasantly and her thighs quivering with excitement.

So when his hand left her cheek and went between her thighs, stroking her folds, Asia couldn't help but moan. ''Ahh~''

Issei smirked, pushing her against the wall and kissing her once more. She moaned into his mouth and jerked his cock faster, feeling him get bigger and bigger in her hand until he was decidedly stiff, a peek downwards revealing his swollen cock.

''Mm…'' Asia laid a hand on his chest, pushing him back a little. ''Here, let me…''

With burning cheeks, the nun slid down the wet tiled wall behind her, ending up on her knees in front of Issei with his cock right in front of her face. With him fully erect, his cock looked all the bigger in the bathroom's light, tempting Asia to sit up a little, her tongue sliding up the underside of his cock. When Issei let out a low, pleased groan, she did it again, her hot breath washing over his cock as she used her tongue to get him off.

However, she was far from content to use just her tongue. Holding the base of his cock, Asia sat up more, sliding her lips up to the tip and then taking him into her mouth. He grunted, a hand grasping the back of her head and sending shivers through her, arousal pooling between her thighs as he guided her head down his cock. He didn't push her down but just helped move her down, giving Asia the time to adjust to his large size again.

''Mmph… Mm… slrp…'' Asia shut her eyes and just focused on blowing him, holding onto his thighs.

''Haah… Asia…'' Issei breathed her name in a low, tight voice, shifting his hand through her hair, thrusting his hips forth at the same time.

The tip of his cock hit the back of her throat, eliciting a muted gag from Asia. She pushed down her gag reflex as best she could, pursing her lips tightly around his meat and sucking harder, dragging her lips up from the base all the way to the tip each time. She listened to him grunt and groan the more she did it, his arousing voice filling her ears and worsening the heat between her thighs, almost tempting her to sneak a hand down between them to help satiate it. She resisted the urge… for all of a few seconds.

Asia whined around his cock as her right hand slid between her thighs, two fingers wasting no time in pushing inside of herself as she'd secretly done to herself the nights after Issei taught her.

Issei noticed; a groan of lust bubbling out of his throat as he watched her finger herself. He held her hair tighter and pushed her down his cock faster, the slight roughness turning Asia on more and encouraging her to hasten her movements, sucking in shorter but faster slurps, smearing her saliva across his shaft in the process. She could feel him start to throb and pulse against her tongue ,ready to unload his balls down her throat with his hot seed.

Until he suddenly pulled her head back, eliciting a gasp from her as she suddenly had no more cock in her mouth – leaving her coughing lightly. ''I-Ise-kun…?''

''Hah, sorry.'' Issei grinned at her. ''Didn't want to finish too quickly.''

Asia blushed, privately happy she had almost made him blow his load. Her happiness only grew when he helped her back up to her feet – and then promptly pinned her to the wall and sealed his lips against hers, devouring her surprised moan. He pushed his body flush against hers, letting her feel his throbbing erection press against her entrance, his hot shaft twitching against her flesh. She whimpered at the feeling and rocked her hips, fruitlessly trying to push herself against his shaft.

Issei smirked against her lips, breaking off the kiss and looking her in the eyes, lowering his hips a little and grabbing his cock with one hand, sliding the head of his cock over her slit.

Before then with a single strong thrust, he buried himself inside of her pussy. ''Mm!''

Asia clutched onto Issei in a heartbeat, gasping in a mixture of pain and pleasure as he roughly took her again, the numbing bliss coaxing a strangled moan from her throat. Issei held onto her, both hands on her rear and his lips finding hers in a searing kiss, helping mute her shaky moan.

They stayed like that for a minute, lips smacking and meshing together with no words to punctuate it. Issei's cock throbbed inside of her, his swollen shaft stretching her inner walls apart and simultaneously hitting all of her sweet spots.

Asia gasped when he reared his hips back, scraping her inner walls with his meaty cock. Just when the tip almost slipped out he rammed himself back into her, hitting her deepest parts once again. He repeated the motion a second later, then again, and then again; thrusting his hips at a rhythmic pace, filling her pussy each time and melting her mind with the overwhelming sensations.

''Hah, y-you feel-'' Asia's breathless words were silenced when their lips crashed together once more, melting them down into an incoherent groan of want.

Issei sensed that want, and satiated it. Gripping her ass, he lifted her up, holding her against the wall and prompting Asia to wrap both her arms and legs around him, trapping their wet bodies together. Then without missing a beat, he dropped her down his cock, hitting her sweet spot and swallowing her high-pitched cry of pleasure, the sound thoroughly muted as Issei began to outright fuck her.

''Mmph~!'' Asia squealed into his mouth, clutching onto him.

Smacking flesh answered her, spasms of pleasure lurching up her body in tandem with the cock plunging up into her womanhood. Without her feet on the ground, she was completely at his mercy, dropped and lifted up-and-down his cock, her inner walls tightly squeezing his dick as it pushed into her. Her tightness failed to slow him down, his strong hips bucking forwards and roughly driving himself into her, stuffing her so wonderfully full that it left her spasming in his arms.

However, the awakening Dragon in Asia didn't want to be just a submissive partner; to just be a hole for him to thrust into. Thus, with a moan of effort, Asia pushed against him, a single look was thankfully all it took to convey her desire – and with a tight smile, Issei obliged, easing himself down onto the floor of the shower with her still impaled upon him, the movement causing his cock to push and rub against her inner walls pleasurably.

''Mn…'' Asia adjusted herself so that her knees were on the ground, her hands resting upon his chest, before with a moan she began to ride him. ''Hah~!''

Skin bumped together, then began to clap loudly together as she bounced, her womanhood gripping his large cock all the way up before she plunged herself back down, moaning throatily as he filled her once again. She vigorously repeated the motion, the addictive friction melting her mind and leaving her able to do nothing but continue bouncing, moans tumbling out of her throat as she felt the very tip hit her innermost parts repeatedly.

A fresh moan tumbled out of her throat as she felt both of his hands grab her breasts; not even needing to look to know as she felt his thick fingers sink into her tits and fondle them vigorously. Squeezing, groping, manhandling; he did it all – worsening the heat mounting within her. She screwed her eyes shut and let her voice out, her hips working with rapidly growing fervor as she felt her muscles clench up.

''Asia!''

And then with a grunt of her name, Issei came – his thick load gushing into her.

The sensation alone was enough to push her over the edge, her tense insides sent into mind-melting spasms and her head throwing itself back, a stuttering cry of pleasure fleeing Asia's lips. Her hips jerked and bucked back-and-forth, clumsily riding him or grinding herself on his cock, searing her hypersensitive nerves. She couldn't stop moving even as her body grew fatigued, the electric pleasure pushing her onwards.

Until eventually the moment passed, and with a loud gasp, Asia jerked to a stop, leaning over Issei with gasping, labored breaths.

''Haah, haah…'' She breathed. ''I-Ise-''

Her words were cut short however as he claimed her lips in a kiss – and Asia whimpered as he rolled them over, pinning her beneath his bulk and pushing her hands up with one of his while the other gripped her-

"Oi, Asia." Raynare's voice came through the bathroom door. "I'm leaving some bath towels here for you-"

Raynare's words cut off when she opened the door, sighting Issei and Asia's positions. "Excuse me."

"Nope." Raynare only had a chance to yelp in surprise before Issei dragged her in and rendered her clothes to oblivion with {Dress Break}.

"Asia. Did you know that the term Aika taught you is actually called skinship~?" Issei said as he pressed Raynare face first against the ceramic wall and pinned her wrists high above her. "Believe it or not, skinship doesn't have to be limited to just between two people~."

"R-Really?"

"Yes~." Issei gently took Asia's hand and used it to grope Raynare's left breast while he pushed his cock between her thighs, causing the Fallen Angel to moan softly. "Let's perform with her as well~."

Issei hummed in satisfaction as he laid back into his bed. He was just about to nod off when something clacked against his window.

A curious glance had Issei's eyes widening as he saw a familiar mane of luscious crimson hair.

"Rias-senpai?" Issei called out after opening the window.

Rias Gremory flew in immediately with her black wings extended out of her back. She didn't stir the air at all as she glided soundlessly onto the floor. Issei shut the window immediately and turned on the desk light.

She was still dressed in her school uniform. Her hands were behind her back while she turned her head around to examine his room. There was her usual playful expression on her face… but it didn't match her eyes.

"Issei…"

Nor did it match her voice. It didn't sound at all like her.

"I need your help with something." Rias said with a pleading voice. Her eyes were closed while keeping her smile up.

"Um… sure?" Issei scratched his head. His skin felt cold, despite his Observation Haki staying silent. Seeing her like this wasn't right at all. Issei's instincts were telling him that he should be doing… something. He don't know what, though, especially as he still didn't sense any danger. "Rias-senpai, what's wrong? You're not… yourself."

"But of course I am, Issei." Rias lied. He could physically see the lie pass through her teeth. "Seriously, Issei. A pretty girl you've slept with before, visits in the middle of the night and you say something so mean?"

"…I'm sorry." Issei ended up apologizing.

She giggled falsely in return. "That's okay, Issei. There's something I actually need from you. I need you to take me, Issei."

Issei lifted his bowed head and stared at her, his mind drawing in a blank by her words. "What."

"Please. Let's go all the way this time."

'There's something seriously wrong here.' Issei thought as Rias pushed into his bed and straddled him, making sure to push their pelvises together as she did so.

"No." Issei said, gathering his wits. "No. Rias-senpai, please tell me what's wrong. I don't know what I can do but I'll do everything I can."

"It's very simple, Issei." Rias wiggled a finger around as she slowly began to grind against him, hoping to appeal to his lust rather than his sense of reason. "I need you. You're the only one I could turn to. I know you and I are just really close friends (with benefits) at this point but please, Issei."

Issei's hands shot to her shoulder to stop her. Rias's hands were on his chest, already trying to pull up his shirt. He ended up grabbing her hands and squeezing them tight.

"Stop it!" He shouted. Thankfully, the one-way sound runes Issei enchanted his room with ensured that no loud noises escaped. "Rias-senpai, I would love to fuck you anytime you wish, but not like this! You're clearly distressed about something…"

By all means, Rias Gremory was gorgeous. She had a beautiful face, mesmerizing eyes, silky crimson hair like flowing blood, and a literally sinful body to die for. She was one of our school idols and knew it.

But Issei meant what he said. Consent was a really important thing Issei held close to heart and Rias clearly was not consensual in the emotional sense...

Rias let go of his hands to unbutton her top. Her large breasts flopped out, barely being held back by a lacy white bra. Leaning over and rubbing them against him, she began grind against Issei with rigid fervor, so much that Issei still couldn't get aroused.

"ENOUGH, DAMMIT!"

The crash of Conqueror's Haki blasted her off him, causing her to be thrown off him and onto her back.

At first, Rias blinked as she tried to comprehend where she was, then looked at Issei, remembered what she'd just been stopped from doing and then fell into tears.

"I'm sorry." Her voice was broken. She moved forward and rested her head in the nape of his neck. Rias's body convulsed as she released heavy sobs. She told Issei that she was sorry over and over again, sometimes even screaming it into his shoulder.

"I'm sorry." Rias sobbed. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Issei, I'm so sorry! What was I about to do?!"

Issei did the first thing he could think of.

He threw his arms around her and held her tight. It was what a man was supposed to do. He couldn't call himself a man, let alone a Harem King, if he just let her cry her eyes out without comforting her.

'I've already forgiven you.' Issei slowly rubbed circles into the small of her back.

"I-Issei..." Issei heard her whisper when she was drained. Rias hiccupped from all the sobbing but no more tears fell at this point. "I don't deserve to ask but… I don't want to be alone tonight. Can I…?"

"...please don't seduce me." Issei sighed. He was too tired to turn her away anyways. "Sure. You can have the bed. I'm going to pull and spread a futon for myself."

She didn't let him get up. She continued to lay on top of him.

"Please stay with me…" Issei heard her mumble into his shoulder, her blushing face being partially hidden by her hair.

'DIDN'T I JUST SAY NOT TO SEDUCE ME, DAMMIT?!'

They ended up sharing the bed. There was no way in hell he was going to be able to sleep.

Issei could feel Rias's ginormous rack pressing against his arm while she squeezed him tight.

'I forgot that she sleeps in the nude!' Issei silently sobbed as he felt her body make minor movements against his, which only made things worse.

Rias nuzzled herself against Issei's side. "Thank you, Issei…"

She fell asleep with that last note.

…And Issei was still awake when my alarm went off for the following morning.

Why?

Because Rias Gremory is a very clingy sleeper.

And she was still in the nude.

'You're a man, Issei. You made the right decision!' Issei thought with all his might… but still... '...being a man isn't fun at all!'

After school was done with, Issei and a confused Motohama Nakakuni barged into the Occult Research Club house, with Issei hoping to get a reasonable explanation for Rias's mood the previous night, only to find two strangers there.

The first was a beautiful woman with back length silver hair that featured long braids on either side with small blue bows at the ends, while the rest was let down large twin braids. She was dressed in blue and white French maid outfit with red lipstick as a cosmetic accessory.

The second was a douche looking blond scumbag with a suit too good for- that bastard was running his fingers over a clearly uncomfortable Rias.

"Oi." Issei didn't blast out his Haki per say, but he did instantly demand the attention of every Devil in the room as the room temperature spiked. "Hands off my friend."

The blond man raised a bemused eyebrow while the maid stepped forward. "How do you do. I am a maid that serves the Clan of Gremory. My name is Grayfia. Pleased to make your acquantance, Issei Hyoudou."

Issei blinked. "You know me?"

"Indeed." Grayfia Gremory née Lucifuge bowed in greeting. "You have my gratitude for properly taking care of Rias during her emotional distress last night."

Issei's eyes narrowed at her words while Motohama introduced himself to Grayfia and moved around to take pictures of her as soon as she gave permission. "And who's that blondie over there?"

"This gentleman is Riser Phenex." Grayfia introduced. "He is a Pureblood Upper Class Devil and the third son of the Clan of Phenex."

"Phoenix?" Motohama questioned.

"No, Phenex, although the meaning might as well be the same." Grayfia clarified. "Also, he is the fiance of the Clan of Gremory's Heiress. In other words, he is Lady Rias's betrothed."

""Betrothed?!"" Issei and Motohama replied in shock, with the former sending Rias a saddened look, which she somewhat returned.

"Enough of that, please." Rias barely managed to suppress a shudder as she stood from Riser's touches. It just didn't feel as comforting and sensual as compared to Akeno and Issei whenever they did it. "Riser, I've told you this before, but I'm not going to marry you."

"But, Rias," Riser spoke in a haughty tone. "I think that your Clan's circumstances are desperate enough not to allow your inconsideration."

"I do not intend to bring my Clan into ruin!" Rias retorted hotly. "However, I will marry whomever I wish."

"It is a matter for all Devils to keep Pureblood Devils, whose numbers all but vanished in the war, from dying out." Riser replied haughtily, although Issei detected a bit more seriousness in his tone regarding their ancestry. "Both your father and Sirzechs decided on this arrangement with the future in mind."

"My father and my whole Clan are in too great a rush." Rias scoffed. "I won't say it again, Riser. I will not marry you!"

Riser lost patience and instantly grasped her chin, having moved at a speed that Rias had been unable to respond to. "I too, Rias, bear the responsibilities of the Clan of Phenex. I can't have you besmirching our good name. I didn't even want to come to a small old building like this in the human world. Rather, I don't like the human world that much, beyond a few aspects. For a Devil like me who rules fire and wind, the flames and winds of this world are too filthy! Even if I have to incinerate all of your Peerage and these humans you are friends with, I will take you back to the Underworld with me."

"Hey, can I take that as a challenge?" Issei's fists burst into crimson flames and drew attention again. "This Yakitori threatened me just now."

"Ah?" Riser turned to face Issei, fiery wings bursting forth from his back. "Don't get so full of yourself, human."

"That is enough."

A power overwhelmingly superior to both Issei and Riser stepped forward and ended the conflict. "Since I am here by order of Sirzechs Lucifer, I will not hold back one iota for the sake of preserving peace."

Motohama stared in terror while hiding behind a giggling Akeno Himejima's legs, unminding of the lighting crackling between her fingers. "She's just as scary as Tiamat!"

"When told such a thing by the {Strongest Queen}, even I become fearful." Riser stepped back and put away his wings, prompting Issei to retreat as well, grumbling as a sympathetic Yuuto Kiba patted his back, with his free hand clenching a sword that had appeared out of nowhere.

"However, Sirzechs anticipated that something like this would happen." Grayfia acquiesced. "As such, he had assigned me a last resort should you and Lady Rias reach a strong disagreement."

'Why didn't you start with that?' Issei mentally questioned. 'Rias-senpai was clearly against this from what I've seen.'

"'Last resort'?" Rias questioned, head patting Koneko Toujou who had moved to her front to protect her. "What do you mean, Grayfia?"

"If you are that insistent on following through with your wishes, settle it in a Rating Game." Grayfia answered.

At Issei and Motohama's confusion, Yuuto enlightened them. "It's a chess-like game that noble Devils engage in where they have their servants compete in battle."

"Chess?" Motohama crossed his arms in surprise. "Is that why you guys have a chess motif?"

"Indeed." Akeno answered. "That is why those of us called {Evil Pieces} were given abilities modelled after chess pieces."

"I have played through the game several times and have secured many wins." Riser boasted. "On the other hand, forget lack of experience, Rias doesn't even qualify for an official game, yet. Just to be sure, are these three all your servants?"

"So what if they are?" Rias replied with narrowed eyes.

Riser chuckled and snapped his fingers. In an instant, a glyph with the Phenex symbol appeared, erupting into flames with a mythical bird cry as fifteen girls appeared from it. "I have 15 servants, which is to say, a full set of them."

"OH MY GOD!" Riser blinked as Motohama slid to his knees in front of them. "Even though they're Devils, it's like a cosplay heaven! So many Archetypes present with lovely combinations!"

"Oh?" Riser smirked at the compliment. "You have a good eye, human. Indeed, I made it a priority to fill my Peerage with all the classical Archetypes I could find!"

Motohama nodded in approval as he took pictures. "I can see that despite our differences in species, you are a fellow man of culture."

"Mystical Queen-Sorceress." Yubelluna.

"Fantasy Knight." Karlamine.

"Kimono... maybe Japanese maiden." Mihae.

"Berserker... Swordswoman." Siris.

"Chinese qipao... bears some resemblance to that awesome Chun Li character." Xuelan. From afar, Riser nodded in approval. Xuelan had been one of the best choices he had ever taken. Even more so when he learnt that there was a popular video game character with strong similarities to her.

"Loli Twins!" Ile and Nel.

"Twin Sailor Cat Girls! I didn't even these could even work until I laid eyes on them!" Ni and Li.

"Maids. An true classic." Marion and Burent.

"Belly dancer at first glance, but now I see it looks more like Princess Leia's Go-Go outfit!" Shuriya. Riser nodded again. He didn't know this Leia person, but she must have been attractive enough that his Shuriya could pass as a template to recognize her.

"Hmm... I don't know about this one but it's Japanese at least." Mira.

"And finally, the princess!" Ravel Phenex twitched in disgust.

"However." Motohama turned to face Riser while pointing at Isabela. "This one's ill-fitting!"

Riser blinked before replying with utmost seriousness. "What do you mean?"

Motohama smirked before answering. "Well, her posture strikes me as a brawler. Her gloves and boots in particular confirm that. But what fetish is she supposed to represent? And what the hell is the mask for?!"

"...to be honest, I started off Isabela as a 'biker chick' type," Riser replied, apparently forgetting that he had lethally antagonized the human teenagers just a small while ago. "But, I started experimenting left and right to create a new fetish..."

Motohama patted Riser's shoulder while Isabela tilted her head in confused despair. "Creating a new fetish is a hard, dangerous and unforgiving road, Riser-san."

"Well, what do you suggest?"

Motohama raised his fingers, boxing them as he viewed a suddenly nervous Isabela. "I got it! Goth Loli Werewolf Girl!"

Silence.

That was all that filled the club room until Riser slowly raised his hand to clap it on Motohama's shoulder. "What is your name?"

"Er, Motohama Nakakuni."

"Rias!" Riser turned to face a very surprised Rias, who was shocked to see the dreaded meeting turn in a whole different direction all because sudden animosity wasn't enough for the perverts to stop from recognizing and gaining comradery amongst themselves. "I take back everything bad I said about this world! Clearly, there's still some good in it if it created a genius like this young man!"

"EH?!" Ravel yelled in shock. "Onii-sama! You can't seriously be considering this human's words!"

""Onii-sama?!"" Issei and Motohama replied in surprise, with the latter realizing. "She's a real little sister! That's an awesome combo, too!"

"This is perfect for Isabela!" Riser yelled as Motohama's epiphany struck deep into him. "She was already a Werewolf, but it was so hard to find a fetish for her which would stick well! Come, we must go shopping right this moment!"

"I take it that your departure means you have granted acceptance for the {Rating Game}, Riser." Grayfia stepped forward, reminding everyone of their original discussion.

"I accept as well!" Rias declared.

"Very well, then." Grayfia snapped her fingers, causing a small spark. "I have alerted Sirzechs of your acceptances."

"Well then," Riser smirked at Issei and Motohama as his glyph activated around him and his Peerage. "Issei Hyoudou. Motohama Nakakuni. I guess I can be relieved that my dear Rias was able to pick very interesting friends even as they are humans."

"Of course she did!" Issei clapped a hand of Rias's shoulder. "She's the one who's gonna kick your ass!"

And then, they left. They would meet again in ten days.
