"Sona's Chance"

A Highschool DxD fanfiction written by Christopher'Zazel

Chapter 1 "But he is Rias's Kool Aid!"

Scene (Kuoh Academy, Kuoh Japan)

Looking from a large balcony from the second floor of this large and elaborate school was Souna Shitori. Her beautiful violet eyes were focusing on something in the distance. Slowly removing her pink glasses while softly cleaning them with her sleeve, the girl moves a bit of her short and black hair from her pale face. At further glance, we notice that Souna is a petite yet gorgeous female as she sports a very cute bob cut along with perfect qualities such as unblemished skin and perfect teeth. One might assume that this girl was a model or idol perhaps. Well, this was sort of the case as Sona was considered the 3rd most popular girl in the entire highschool. This was due to not only her beauty, but also her status as the student council president among other things that the average student wouldn't know about. There was also the fact that Souna Shitori wasn't actually a real person, no, Souna was simply an alias. Not only that, but Souna wasn't even human.

Her real name is Sona and she is a devil. Next in line to take over the highclass house of Sitri, Sona is for better or worse, a princess. She wasn't the only devil or rather, devil-princess in the school either. Nope. For there was another red-headed devil. She was currently walking next to the person who had Sona's interest. As she continued to watch the pair from her position, the violet eyed devil changed her usual stoic demeanor to that of concern as her eyebrows lifted ever so slightly.

We begin to pan out to the large courtyard that separates the main school from the main fence. We notice a small group of students, all of which seem to be surrounding a tall and voluptuous redheaded woman. This was none other than Rias Gremory. Unlike her counterpart, Rias chose not to have an alias, rather, she chooses to be more casual in her ways of dealing with things involving the supernatural. This was something Sona always found very frustrating when it came to her best and childhood friend. Oh yes, Rias and Sona are very close, though from an onlookers point of view, both girls seem to be polar opposites when it comes to personality.

There were five individuals who were hanging around Rias. Akeno Himejima, (who was the second most popular girl in Kuoh), was speaking with Yuuto Kiba, (considered the prince of Kuoh). They looked to be in agreement about something as the two were smiling. There were also Koneko Toujou, (the official mascot of Kuoh), and Asia Argento, (the foreign exchange Italian dream girl), as the two looked to be engaged in their own conversations. Asia had a warm smile as Konoko maintained her usual stoic and emotionless features.

Then there was finally the person who had Sona's full and undivided attention. He currently has his right arm wrapped in both of Rias's while blushing madly. The blushing boy was the infamous Hyoudou Issei. Sona had dealt with Issei many times in the past, on a disciplinary level that is. Time and time again, Issei and his delinquent friends, Matsuda and Motohama, were always getting caught for doing lewd things such as peeping on the Kendo girls in the locker rooms. Naturally, being the student council president, Sona was in charge of handling delinquent behavior via detention or other means.

As Sona continued to stare aimlessly, the sounds of the main door, opening and shutting, got the violet eyed girl's attention. Turning around and walking back into the room, Sona was greeted by the vice president of the student council, Tsubaki Shinra.

"Good morning, President." Tsubaki, (who was much taller than Sona), adjusted her own glasses and politefully bowed.

Returning the bow, Sona showed a slight smile. "Good morning Tsubaki. Say, this is going to sound a bit strange, especially coming from me, but at this point, I suppose I should say something."

Tilting her head a bit, Tsubaki replies. "Of course, president, what is it?"

Sona sits down at her large desk and slopes back in her chair. "Tsubaki, either I am going completely insane or I think I am falling for that idiot Hyoudou!"

Blinking a few times, Tsubaki paced back and forth, not quite understanding what her king had just said. She then stopped while looking back at Sona. Adjusting her glasses, Tsubaki needed to make sure she heard what she heard. "Umm, president, can you please repeat what you said? I fear I may be going deaf perhaps?"

Sona facepalmed and very quietly, repeated what she had said. "Issei Hyoudou, I, I, I think I, I think I'm falling for him."

Tsubaki nods while looking for a chair to sit in. She looked to be having some sort of a dizzy spell. Once she had sat down, the vice president took a deep breath and then looked back at the frazzled Sona Sitri. With great seriousness, Tsubaki replies. "Sona, if this is true. If you really feel this way. Just know that you can count on me for support."

Sona looked directly back at her very serious friend with great respect. "Thank you, Tsubaki. I can't believe it myself. But, well, after what he did, in order to save Rias. The sacrifices he endured, Tsubaki, he is the one. I've never felt like this about anyone, ever."

Tsubaki tilts her head questioningly. "What about Rias, erm, Gremory sama?"

Sona takes a deep breath of her own while folding her fingers together on her desk. "To be honest with you, Tsubaki, no, I don't think she actually loves him. Yes, she likes him. I am sure that's due to the pressure from her big brother along with the recent events involving Riser's defeat. So, she hangs off of him for now, acting like a girlfriend of sorts. Rewarding her faithful pawn."

"Hyoudou Issei is the Sekiryuutei. The Red Dragon Emperor of Domination. Gremory sama got lucky to obtain such a piece." Tsubaki nods to herself.

Sona stands up from her seat while taking off her glasses and placing them onto the desk. She then shows the slightest hint of agitation as she speaks. "That's my point exactly! The way you just described Issei, that's how 'they' look at him. I am sure of it!"

Tsbuaki raises an eyebrow. "And you don't? President? I mean, look at him like that?"

Sona shakes her head while now smiling warmly. "No, Tsubaki, I don't. If you were to ask me a few weeks ago, if I would trade anything to get the Red Dragon Emperor into the house of Sitri, my response would've been something akin to a simple 'pass'."

Tsubaki raises her other eyebrow. "Oh really?"

Sona nods while continuing her unusual smile. "Before I was able to witness who Issei Hyoudou really is, I had my reservations about him. As it stands, I was fully convinced that if not for his sacred gear, Rias would want nothing to do with him. As for me, even with his gear, I still wanted little to do with him as his reputation alone was enough to make me feel sick to my stomach."

Standing from her chair, Tsubaki makes her way toward the window and looks out while replying. "So, you are saying that your reservations involving Hyoudou were wrong. You are saying there is another person, under this facade of perversion. I think I understand, president. As I said, I have your back in all of this. Just let me know when you want to make your move, I'll be ready."

Walking toward the window next to Tsubaki was now Sona. Both girls were now looking out the window and toward Issei. It looked as though he had gone into some sort of sneezing fit as the girls surrounding him were all offering napkins.

Scene (Three Hours Later, Lunch-time in the O.R.C.)

Sitting at her own large desk was Rias Gremory. She was eating a large bento box along with a ceramic cup of hot tea. As she chewed her food silently, a small smile was adorning her plump lips. Kiba, Koneko and Asia were sitting together on a couch only a few feet from the large desk. They all seemed to be enjoying their individual lunches while they carried on in small talk. Meanwhile, Issei was laying on another couch. He had his head resting on Akeno's lap as she looked to be sucking on one of Issei's fingers. Closing his eyes tightly, the teen did the best he could not to get aroused by the moaning sounds of his senpai as she relentlessly used her tongue to gesture sexual hints as said tongue wrapped itself around said finger. Oddly enough, the rest of the peerage seemed to be ignoring this while continuing to enjoy their lunches.

Finally, unable to take it anymore, Issei forced himself upward and off of Akeno's lap while removing his finger from her mouth. Flustered as all hell, the teen did the best he could to spit out his words as carefully as he was able. "Ak, Ake, Akeno san, erm.. That's enough, I, I feel better now, hehe."

Tilting her head confusingly, Akeno replies. "Ara ara, Issei, darling kun, what's the matter? This isn't like you?"

Moving even further back from the black haired beauty, Issei hesitated for a moment before replying. "Oh, it's just, well, erm, I don't think the president would want me to be in these kinds of positions anymore. R, Right, President?" Issei now turned his attention toward a now choking Rias.

She was caught off guard by the sudden question and accidentally inhaled some of her food. After reaching for and drinking her hot tea, Rias casually replied. "Ehem, Issei, what are you talking about? Why would I mind? Akeno always consumes your excess energy. Why would today be any different?"

Issei thought deeply. "Well, I did what her brother and Grayfia wanted. I showed up to that party, gave my everything and not just my arm. I stopped that chicken from forcefully marrying Rias. Me, I did that. So, I must be more to her than just a pawn at this point, right? I mean, even Sirzechs himself, even he was throwing me hints here and there. I know her family are always kind to their servants but even so, it's like I am being treated like actual family by the Gremories. And now, ever since I saved Rias, she has been all over me. She has never held onto my arm before, not in public. No, it's a sign. She is testing me. She wants to see if I will continue in my perverted ways. Yeah, this is a test, it has to be. By refusing Akeno's advances, I will be able to prove that I am no longer a perverted moron! Why haven't I thought of something like this before! It's full proof!"

Issei straightened himself while standing from the couch. This grabbed everyone's attention. Raising his head a bit, as to keep his bangs from intruding over his golden-brown eyes, Issei spoke nervously. "President Gremory, I just want you to know that I am loyal."

Rias tilts her head and smiles nervously. "That's "nice", Issei. Thanks for that."

Issei shakes his head rapidly. "That's not what I mean. I meant, if you wanted to, I don't know, go steady or something, I just wanted to reinforce the fact that I would be loyal to you and nobody else."

Instantly, the entire room went completely silent. Each member of the peerage now had extremely widened eyes along jaws completely agape.

Issei stood where he was, however, (after a few moments), his head began to lower as Rias's expression was that of something he wasn't expecting. She looked to be deep in thought, as if she were deciding what outfit she would wear for that day. Then, she smiled warmly. Issei was about to raise his head again, seeing the smile, that was until Rias began speaking.

"Issei, thank you so much for telling me your feelings. It means alot, it really does. But you need to understand that I am not interested in getting with anyone right now. Now, that doesn't mean that I am not grateful for what you've done for me and my house, but, it…"

Before Rias was able to finish her sentence, Issei turned around and walked quickly toward the door. This was very uncharacteristic of the usual Issei Hyoudou. Before another word or action could be conveyed, the loud slam of the front door made everyone in the room jump.

Rias was about to protest, that was until Akeno raised her voice. "Rias, what the fuck?"

Rias's jaw was now agape as she stared back into her angry queen's purple eyes. "Wha?"

"This is your fault! First you dote on him, then you hog him from the rest of us. I won't even get started on how Sirzechs and your mother have been trying to play matchmaker this entire time. Of course he feels all confused, poor soul!" Akeno now folds her arms while maintaining a soft scowl.

Asia stands up while sobbing. "No fair, no fair! Issei belongs to all of us!"

Koneko sits back and rolls her eyes. "Baka."

Kiba sips his hot tea and closes his eyes. "Not getting involved, sorry ladies."
