Chapter 6 "Strange Bedfellows"
Scene (Sona's Dorm Room)
Sona didn't seem to use blackout curtains in her dorm room as sunlight beaded into the room. This was enough to stir a once snoring Tsubaki as she instantly stretched in bed. This caused her feet to smack onto the frame which jared the top bunk. Issei, woke up to the feeling of warmth and something soft against his face that seemed to jiggle a bit with the teetering bed. As his eyes opened, Issei could only see dark, that was until he moved his eyes upward. There he saw the sleeping face of Sona Sitri, the student council president. She held Issei in a very tight embrace with both arms around the boy's neck and shoulders. Meanwhile, under the sheets, Issei could feel one of Sona's legs, straddling around his midsection. Also, it didn't help matters that the teen had his face buried in between Sona's moderate breasts as her nightgown was halfwardly slipped off. This allowed one of her nipples to be exposed to Issei's astonishment.
Issei then looked back up at Sona's face as she seemed to stir a bit. Thinking very quickly, the teen figured he should do at least one thing, to make this situation a bit less tense. Deciding that it was now or never, Issei carefully moved one of his hands upward and softly reached for Sona's nightgown near the shoulderline. Without waking Sona, Issei managed to successfully cover the exposed section of Sona's breast while lowering his head and under Sona's arms. Finally, Issei managed to squirm his way out from Sona's arms, however, removing her leg was going to be a chore. As the devil heiress lay directly in front of him, Issei was hoping that he could get past this last obstacle which was Sona halfway straddling him. However, time ran out for Issei as Sona's eyes opened.
Sona had a blank look as she blinked a few times. Afterwards, she proceeded to wipe her eyes with both of her hands while yawning. As she was stretching her arms, Sona, (still half asleep), spoke up in a stretchy kind of voice. "Ohhhh good morning Issei Kun…"
Issei tilted his head a moment, then he looked down at the sheets, waited a moment, then slowly looked back up at Sona. At that point, Sona's facial features warped into something that of panic. As her eyes slowly widened, the devil's jaw began to drop slowly. Issei decided he should back away as quickly as possible. With that, the panicked teen pushed from his side of the bed, (which released him from Sona's leg), only for him to fall off of the top bunk entirely.
(CRASH!) Issei landed directly on his ass. "Yeeek! Ahhh!" Tsubaki immediately rose from her bottom bunk and looked toward the floor to her right, only to see a whimpering Issei Hyoudou.
As the queen of the Sitri peerage put on her glasses she then yawned again. "Hyoudou, were you doing something indecent? Or maybe, President…was it you perhaps?"
Popping her head over the top bunk and looking down at Tsubaki, Sona's cheeks were puffed out as she looked embarrassed as all hell. "Why would you ask me such a foul question? Of course I am innocent in all of this!"
Tsubaki and Sona now turned their attention to the floored Issei. Seeing this, the boy rubs the back of his head nervously. "I seem to have fallen from the bunk bed. That's all that happened. Right, President?"
Sona nods overenthusiastically while grinning victoriously. "That is absolutely the case. You see, there, nothing for you to be concerned about, Tsubaki. Issei was just being a baka as usual."
Issei then thought to himself. "Did she just call me by my first name?" Shaking the thought off for now, Issei stood up while realizing what he was wearing. Instantly, Issei covered himself with his hands in a sudden panic. This caused both Sona and Tsubaki to laugh which caused Issei to join in realizing how silly he must look.
Scene (Hyoudou Residence)
Rias woke up to the sound of Issei's anime-girl themed alarm clock. It was screaming obscenities like; "Wake up you little shit or you're gonna get it!" "Fine then, you asked for it!" (Chainsaw Sounds) Still with her eyes held shut, Rias immediately began to kiss the pillow she was hugging very tightly.
Mumbling, Rias spoke to the pillow. "Oh Issei, good morning my adorable pawn. Yawn!" Rias then opens her eyes while blinking a few times. Then reality struck like a bolt of lightning. Issei wasn't here. He never came home. Why? Oh, that's right, Serafall took him. Instantly, Rias rose from the bed while staring at the nightstand picture frame. It has a photo of both Rias and Issei, posing together back at the training camp, on that mountain. She stared at it with a blank look to her face. "Issei…I'm sorry. I'll make this right today, you'll see…"
Scene (Sona's Dorm Room)
We see Sona and Issei, both sitting at the small table in the kitchen nook of the small apartment. Meanwhile, in the kitchen itself was Tsubaki, she looked to be getting a tray ready with an assortment of eggs, toast and coffee. Issei, (along with the other two), were all wearing their Kouh Uniforms. Noticing a different odor to his clothing, Issei enjoyed the scent of lavender coming from it. For some reason, this brought a bit of peace to the already nervous teen. As Sona looked to be reading a newspaper silently, Issei took his time to study his surroundings a bit more thoroughly.
This was a small room, large enough for maybe two students. It had an attached kitchen/dining area along with a small family/living room. Only feet from the Kitchen was a small bedroom with only room enough for the bunk beds and two desks along with a tiny walk-in closet. To Issei's surprise, the girls managed to make this small space feel rather cozy in his opinion. Artwork, (that seemed to be themed around beaches, rivers and large lakes), was adorned throughout the place. Though the furniture seemed rather sparse, the smell of breakfast cooking increased the coziness factor by eleven.
Sona then peeked through her large newspaper only to see that Issei was smiling while looking around her home in a curious manner. Smirking to herself, Sona pulled the newspaper back up and continued to read her article. Tsubaki came to the table with a tray in hand.
Handing everyone's portions out on separate plates, Tsubaki looked a bit nervous now. As she finished pouring everyone's coffee, she then looked at Issei. "I know it's nothing fancy, but I hope you like it, Hyoudou."
Looking at his plate, Issei then smiled more brightly. "This smells amazing, I can't wait to dig in. Thank you for the food!"
Sona and Tsubaki both waited until Issei took his first bite of the eggs over toast. As the teen did just that, his eyes instantly widened.
Issei took a small sip of his coffee and then looked back at Tsubaki with stars in his eyes. "Vice President! This is amazing! It's like Akeno's cooking but…" Issei's smile then vanished. Blankly looking at his breakfast now, Issei spoke out absentmindedly as if he was thinking out loud. "Akeno, I wonder if I made her upset too, by saying what I said…"
Sona cleared her throat. "Issei."
Coming out of his thoughts, the teen looked back up and now at Sona. "Oh, I'm sorry, I was miles away.
Shaking her head slowly from right to left, Sona spoke up, matter of factly. "Don't worry about how they feel. You are not in the wrong here. Besides, you remember what I told you last night, right? So, stop worrying about nonsense like that right this instant! Do you understand me?"
Feeling incredibly shocked by Sona's words, Issei wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or not. But was Sona Sitri, (the Ice Princess of Kuoh Academy), in a way, protecting him? Before Issei could process what was happening, Tsubaki then pointed toward Issei's plate as she maintained her worried look.
"Well, Hyoudou, are you just saying that you like it, or do you mean it?" Tsubaki now tilted her head, waiting for a reply. This brought Issei out of his stupor as he noticed how cute his senpai was acting just now.
Nodding enthusiastically, Issei spoke up while trying not to choke on his words. "Tsubaki, this is the best breakfast I think I have ever had. You have my word. It's absolutely delicious!" Issei then scarfed the rest of his food in a beast-like manner. "Ifff Gooodfff!"
Tsubaki smiled warmly at this gesture. Sona rolled her eyes while pushing Issei's coffee closer to him. "Not with your mouth full, Hyoudou!"
Scene (Kuoh Academy, early in the morning, about an hour and a half before school actually started)
We see the entirety of Sona's peerage walking through the front gates of the academy. Sona was leading the group as Issei was walking next to a normally stoic Tsubaki. Taking a quick glance, Issei noticed how tall Sona's queen was. He then compared hers to his own height, this made him feel a bit emasculated but then again, tall chicks were also really hot, so, it was a catch 22. Shaking off his thoughts, he then looked around at the other peerage members. Unlike Tsubaki, the others would return his stares with a nervous smile on their faces. Sona then stopped walking and proceeded to look at the screen on her ice-blue colored phone. She then looked behind her quickly, making sure nobody was eavesdropping, then looking back at her phone, she began to text some kind of response.
-Sona's POV-
Looking at her message, it was from her sister as the message was labeled, "To my Adorable So-chan!" The message read, "Well, I have great news, sister. I told Sirzechs about Ria-tan being really mean to our little Issei Kun. He was not happy nor was Grayfia-chan. But I found out something very important. Sona, Issei is arranged to marry Rias Gremory! Now, I don't know the full circumstances, but it is important to know this for our future plans, hehe." Sona facepalmed. "What's this about, "our plan"? Wait, Issei is in an arranged marriage with, with, Rias?" Sona then pushed her thoughts back a few feet as she continued to read the long text. "But it's really important too, that you say nothing about this. I had to promise Sirzechs kun that I wouldn't repeat anything, so you keep hush! Anyway, keep a close eye on him for both our sakes, okay? Last thing you should probably know. I am not sure if Sirzechs has confronted Ria-tan or not, but be ready just in case, I don't know how your best friend will react as we both know she can have quite the temper. Boo hoo, poor Ria-tan. With that, Sona, not as your sister, but as your Mao, I order you to keep both eyes on Issei kun. I will check back in with you, shortly. Until then, good luck, sister."
Sona places the phone back into her pocket while beginning to walk again. She looks behind her quickly, getting a quick glimpse at the boy she is falling so very hard for. He looked back at her and smiled warmly. Seeing this reaction from Issei, it quickly made Sona turn her head back and face forward. Knowing nobody could see her face from this angle, Sona smiled which was followed up by an intense blush. "Issei, you baka."
Scene (Hyoudou Residence)
Gathered in the large dining room, we can see Akeno, Asia and Koneko, all doing individual tasks which involve the preparation of morning breakfast. Meanwhile, Rias along with Mr and Ms Hyoudou, were all sitting at the table while drinking their morning beverages. Mr Hyoudou was reading the newspaper as Ms Hyoudou was looking deeply into a sad looking Rias's face.
Deciding to speak up, Ms Hyoudou decides to ask the question that's been on her mind for most of yesterday and today. "Rias, hunny, are you feeling alright? You look a bit pale, are you possibly coming down with something?"
Akeno then scoffs as she flips a pancake with her spatula. Rias turns her head toward her queen while scowling. Akeno returns an equally insulting scowl of her own. Koneko keeps to herself and continues to stir her large bowl of eggs. Asia also says nothing and continues on washing a few dishes. Mr and Ms Hyoudou both notice the strange interaction between the disgruntled friends.
Placing his newspaper down, Mr Hyoudou then takes a deep breath. "Alright, what did Issei do this time?"
Ms Hyoudou was in full agreement with her husband as she nods with a frown. "Oh dear, what has our pervert-of-a-son done this time?"
Hearing Issei's parents calling him a pervert and blaming him for what was happening at this point in time, it was bullshit, in Akeno's opinion. She began to tighten her grip on the spatula while her teeth began to grind. Her blood was quite literally boiling. Spoiled rotten Rias showed her true colors yesterday. Even after her precious Kohai did everything in his power, just to save his king, Rias just dismissed him. The pain, the struggling, even the circumstances with him being reborn as a devil, how could Rias be so careless?
Akeno then blurted out, in quite a harsh tone. "Issei didn't do a damned thing! Leave him out of this!" Instantly, the Gremory queen put her own hand over her lips. "Oh, ara ara, I am sorry for that outburst."
Akeno then leaves the room as she throws the hot pan into the dishwasher which creates a large cloud of steam. Nobody was able to see her face as she had both hands covering it. Asia and Koneko both stare at each other while not knowing what to do at this point. Rias then sinks her head into her hands which were placed on the table. Mr and Ms Hyoudou both just sit where they are, silent and with their jaws agape.
