"Sona's Chance"
A Highschool DxD fanfiction written by Christopher'Zazel
Chapter 25 "Morning Cereal"
Scene (Yasaka Castle, Kyoto Japan)
Sona and Tsubaki both look at one another and then back toward Yasaka and Issei. Sona then manages to speak up after her bout of shock from Yasaka's earlier comment.
"Does your "fox magic" require you to hold Hyoudou into your, erm, ch, chest like that?" Sona was doing the best she could to only look into the fox queens eyes where her own seemed to wander downward uncontrollably.
Tsubaki was a bit shocked at her president's bold and somewhat accusative question toward the youkai queen. Adjusting her green rimmed glasses, the taller Sitri queen turned her full attention onto Yasaka, wondering how she would react to such a comment.
Yasaka raises an eyebrow as she pushes Issei's sleeping face, deeper into the crevice of her generous cleavage. Now showing an obvious smirk, the fox queen replies. "Ara, no, not really. I just enjoy having him right here. Does that bother you, my little dearest?"
Sona begins to puff her cheeks out in anger, once again. Tsubaki notices this and places her supportive hand on Sona's shoulder. "President, perhaps we should take baths ourselves. After all, it is getting late."
Sona looks at Tsubaki with a confused yet mildly irritated glance. "What on earth are you talking about, Tsubaki?"
Sona finds herself being pulled closer to her queen as Tsubaki lowers her head and whispers into the Sitri Heiress's ear. "She said that Hyoudou won't be awake until morning. Also, you don't want to leave him alone with Yasaka san. This is the only logical course of action."
Immediately, Sona knew that Tsubaki was correct in everything. Nodding back at her queen with a smile of acknowledgement, Sona now turns her attention toward Yasaka, (who is looking at the two with humorous suspicion). "Yasaka sama, I think we will take you up on your kind offer. Indeed the water looks very inviting."
The fox queen's smirk now turns into a forced smile. "I see, well then, please, enjoy." Yasaka was hoping that she might have a few more hours of alone-time with her new "patient", however the Sitri sister along with her queen seemed to want to put an end to that rather quickly.
Scene (ORC)
We see Rias laying on one of the couches with an ice pack against her forehead. Her olive-green jumpsuit was covered in stains of all different colors not to mention her red hair was completely frizzed out in all directions. Dark circles were present underneath the bloodshot and blue eyes of the exhausted looking Gremory heiress.
Sitting at Rias's desk was none other than Grayfia. She was staring coldly at her sister-in-law as she recrossed her legs. "I will say this one more time, Rias. There are no ghosts in this school. So whatever you have planned when it comes to me taking it easy on you, forget about it. Don't think that I have forgiven you for using your power in such an abusive and manipulative way! Trying to scare your pawn like that, pfft, unacceptable!"
Rias sits up while looking back toward Grayfia. She now has a look of sheer anger. "That's not fair! Yes, I was mean to Issei. Yes, I deserve my punishment. And yes, I will apologize to Issei after all is said and done. I, I am really sorry about this and I will make it right."
Grayfia now grins. "Really now?"
Rias tilts her head. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Let's just say that I have it on good authority that the Sitri Peerage was considering your threat involving the trading of your pawn. As in, they are more than likely willing to make you an offer, assuming you hold true to your threat that is."
Rias's anger turns into rage. "No, No, No! I wasn't intending on trading Issei! Wait, how do they know about this? Serafall…damn it. Grayfia, I didn't mean…"
"Words have consequences, Rias. Especially words that have power behind them. Regardless of what you might have intended, it was how you conveyed it that caused the problem. This is serious Rias. Imagine if you were to take over your brother's position and make idle threats such as these. You would have half of the underworld plotting on dethroning your spoiled ass before you could recite each level of hell." Grayfia now took a deep breath.
Rias thought about her sister-in-law's words. Aside from the "spoiled ass" comment, Grayfia was right in the end. Words with power behind them. Instead of protesting, Rias simply slumped back into the couch. "Yeah, okay. I see."
Seeing this serious reaction to her words, Grayfia's grin turned into her usual stoic frown. "Let's get some tea and call it an evening. Tomorrow we have the track and field that needs landscaping."
Rias nods as the two leave the main room together. The ice pack that was originally on Rias's forehead was now on the coffee table near the couch. The moment the ORC doors shut, the ice pack explodes.
"Hahahaha….Riiiiaaasssss…..I want to play some more….wahahahahah!"
Scene (Yasaka Castle, Sona and Issei's Guest Bedroom)
"Alright, help me lower him, President." We can see Tsubaki, (in a bath towel), as she is lowering a sleeping Issei from over her shoulder. Sona. (also in a bath towel) then helps while reaching the for the teen's shoulder as the two lay him into the futon. After all was said and done, both girls look at each other.
Sona then smiles. "Thank you, Tsubaki, for having my back in all of this."
Tusbaki stands up and bows slightly before opening the rice-paper door. "It's not a problem, President."
As the sliding door shut once Tsubaki left, all went quiet. Sona looked toward a smiling and sleeping Issei, hoping that the fox was at least telling the truth about one thing. Maybe she was helping him on a more spiritual level, (something her sister continued to imply since they arrived in Kyoto). Well, at least maybe they could spend some time tomorrow, after all, even if they didn't leave the castle grounds, there was always that garden out back. Sona then began to imagine a picnic scene. Deciding that perhaps that would suffice as their first date, the Sitri Heiress began to plan the day accordingly as she tucked into the futon with Issei after tossing her towel to the side. "Sandwiches, drinks and some snacks. I can easily prepare such things as my cooking skills are negligible at best."
Sona then placed her glasses toward the small end table next to the bed and proceeded to snuggle closer to her boyfriend. Deciding that he needed to be cleansed of Yasaka's touch, Sona proceeded to pull Issei's head into her bare and ample chest. Blushing, the Sitri devil closed her violet eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep.
Scene (Early Morning, Yasaka Castle, Guest Room)
Opening his eyes, Issei immediately knew where he was. The warmth, the sound of her breathing, the slight hint of lavender from her skin, this was Sona. Once he pulled back a bit, Issei's face met the cold morning air of the bedroom. "Damn, this woman spoils me. I love it!" Looking down at the sleeping heiress, Issei slowly removed Sona's leg from his midsection while making a clean getaway without waking her. Once he found his slippers, the teen slowly and quietly opened and shut the sliding door.
Once he placed his slippers over his feet, Issei could hear music down the hallway. It was one of the opening theme songs to "Milky Spiral". Curious, Issei walked down the corridor and toward a large and open living space. This had to be the main den or family room as it was comfy and cozy. Littered with soft looking Japanese style seating, along with a large television monitor, Issei found it to be both very traditional yet modern looking at the same time. Speaking of the television, "Milky Spiral" was indeed playing.
As Issei looked for any inhabitants of this room, he saw nothing, that was until he looked down and toward the matted floor. Next to the TV, on the ground was little Kunou. She was wearing a pair of Milky Chan brand pajamas while eating a bowl of sugary looking cereal. Issei caught himself getting emotionally committed to the episode that was being played.
Kunuo then turned her head as her eyes grew bright and yellow stars. "Issei kun!" Bit's of cereal flew out of the little fox princesses mouth. "You wanna watch Milky with me? Mommy is still sleeping just like all of the grownups."
Issei pointed at himself while smiling nervously. "Really? Um, sure, okay." Issei sat down on the floor, as Kunou patted a spot next to her.
At first it was quiet, that was until Issei remembered some key facts about this specific episode. Before he knew it, the two were talking about every detail regarding the lore and characters within all of "Milky Spiral". This went on for about 45 minutes.
"Issei Kun! Kunuo Chan! Good morning!" Kunou and Issei turn their heads at Serafall. She looks to have a serious case of bed-head as she continuously yawns. Once she saw what the two were up to, she instantly charged up all of her energy and released it all in one single dash. Making a very quick gallop toward Issei, Serafall proceeded to then jump into the air while making a summersault and then ending in a perfect landing, (which happened to be Issei's lap). (PLOP!)
Kunou looks over toward Serafall while smiling. "Yup, we are watching your show, Aunt Milky! Issei was telling me about how you took out the evil panty-thief prince with the power of true love. I only remembered some bits and pieces, but the red knight knows so much stuff!"
Serafall turns her head upward while looking into Issei's eyes, upside down. Still smiling, Serafall replies. "Oh, so you are the princess's "Red Knight" are you? How adorable!" Serafall begins to jump up and down on Issei's lap as she begins to giggle. "Can you imagine, hehehe, if Issei here, was in my television show? Hahaha, I can see it now, "Issei Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Knight, valiant hero to aid Milky in her heroic adventures!" Now that would be something, wouldn't it?"
Kunou now began to get very excited at the notion. "Wow, Issei kun would be amazing! Though, Aunt Milky, you would have to slow the camera's down, otherwise we couldn't see the red knight actually do anything!"
Issei begins to scratch the back of his head. "Hahaha, not to mention the passing out part."
Serafall's smile now turns into a solid frown. Kunou also seems to lose her excitement while beginning to frown herself. Seeing this, Issei swallows a large gulp. "What did I say to ruin the mood?"
Serafall looks behind her shoulder and back at Issei again. She looks very serious, even though her face is upside down from Issei's point of view. "I don't want you to use that anymore, not until you can transform into your balance breaker, naturally. It can't be good for you to "overboost" like that all of the time. Boo, no, no, you are too important to be so reckless."
Before anything else could be said. Another person entered the room very quietly.
"Good morning Kunou, Sera Chan and Issei Kun, Ara ara." Yasaka was now standing in the corridor with a cup of hot coffee in one hand and a folded newspaper in the other. She was wearing a white evening gown with pink cherry blossoms as her smile continued to grow. "I see you are all watching "Milky Spiral Adventures", I am sure my daughter is very happy to have company as she performs her favorite morning activity."
Issei, (still with Serafall on his lap), smiles back at Yasaka. "Good morning, Yasaka sama. I didn't get a chance to thank you last night but…"
Yasaka clears her throat suddenly as she sits down on the couch next to the three sitting on the floor. "What did we talk about, when it came to my name and honorifics, Issei kun?"
Taking a large and nervous gulp as both Serafall and Kunou looked back at him with smirks, Issei replies. "I am sorry about that, Yasaka."
Smiling brighter than ever, Yasaka nods as she opens the newspaper to the horoscopes section. After a few moments, the three go back to watching their television program as Yasaka turns the newspaper page. Meanwhile, the fox queen keeps one eye on the interaction between her daughter and Issei. "He looks to be a natural father figure. My sweet Kunou has clearly taken quite a liking to my, erm, the boy." Yasaka goes back to reading the horoscopes as she spots Aries. "I see, so Issei kun is going to experience a great change. Well, this reading is not wrong, fufufu. Oh, let's look at mine, hmm, ahh Aquarius. Yes, oh, indeed? So I will also experience a great change during this spring day. This is fun, let's check compatibility now. Ara ara, Aries and Aquarius are very compatible! Well then, my mind is made up."
Serafall, Issei and Kunou all jumped the moment Sona came out from nowhere as she just appeared in the corridor. "Ehem!"
Instantly, the Mao Leviathan proceeded to purposely wriggle around on a, (nervously smiling), Issei's lap. Serafall had a malicious grin as she was staring directly at her grumpy looking sister. "Oh no, boo, it's the mean So-tan, Issei, I'm so scared, protect me!" Serafall now pretended to cry as she reached around, (now straddling Issei), as she then proceeded to grab his head with both of her arms. "Oh no, your Milky Chan is so terrified by the evil Student Council President Chan!"
As Issei is now being crushed by Serafall's arms, not to mention her breasts that were squeezing the boy's suffocating face, all the teen could do was take advantage of the Mao's bouncing around, as he was able to take quip gasps of air in between jiggles.
Kunou then pointed toward an even more angry Sona. While scowling, the little fox princess made a declaration. "Aunt Milky, you should also have 'her' in one of your episodes, as a villainess!"
Sona's jaw went agape. Hearing Kunou's words, Issei couldn't help but muffle-laugh at the situation. Serafall also laughed heartily at the suggestion. "Hahahahaha! Oh! Hahahaha! Yes Kunou, that would be incredible all in itself." Serafall now imagined Sona wearing some evil villainess outfit with maybe an eye patch or perhaps a scar. "Pfft, Hahahahaha!"
Looking down, Serafall let Issei have a bit of oxygen. "Imagine her with an eye patch, like a pirate or something cute like that!"
Issei began to burst out laughing again, however Serafall grinned and tightened her shoulders which muffled the teen once again.
Meanwhile, Yasaka looked toward Serafall, then her daughter and now she had her attention directed on Sona. "Ara ara, come now, Kunou, Serafall, I believe you two have gone too far. It's far too early in the morning for such shenanigans. Sona Chan, please come sit over here next to me, I will have some tea brought. The grownups should enjoy the morning with a bit of grace." Yasaka then winks toward a flustered looking Sona.
At some point during Yasaka's words, Issei managed to squirm his way out from Serafall's rather impressive booby traps. This was due to the Mao being distracted as she looked toward Yasaka with a childish sad face. "Boo, I am grown up! I just like to play! What's wrong with that!?"
Kunou claps along and joins in with her aunt. "Mommy doesn't understand. She is all about being proper and stuff. It gets so boring sometimes."
Yasaka shakes her head. "One day, you will understand, young one. Also, Serafall, please release Issei Kun. And stop antagonizing your sister!"
Sona's eyes lit up, seeing the shining example of order and prosperity, all in one package. How did she not see this before? Whenever this woman did anything, there was a certain grace to it all. And now, to see someone who has the power to reprimand Serafall of all people.
As Serafall grumpily got off of Issei's lap, she had both of her front cheeks puffed out. Sona grew a small smirk seeing this as she proceeded to take Yasaka's offer and sit next to her.
Yes, fluff, fluff and more fluff! There will be so much more, so if this ain't your thing, better clear out. Yeah, there will be some more fighting, but this is more of a love story so :P Thank you Overlord Sturm for quite literally reading this entire chapter as I wrote it. Same goes for the rest of my buddies on Discord. Just so you know, I've got a plethora of other writers in my channel. Also, I think I have one or two who enjoy editing too, so there's that. Mainly, we just bullshit about DxD "What If's. Skyfire is working on a Rosario Vampire x DxD fic while Overlord's got a RWBY DxD one going on. So yeah, maybe that might be something you'd be into, writing your own fictions and getting feedback in my channel? Just a thought. Okay, last thing, I promise. If you want me to continue to post "Sona's Chance" as I write them, (Rather than me posting only on a weekly basis), let's see some more reviews. I got some good feedback a few times, even named the title of one of my chapters based off of such comments. So, add a little love after the chapter, thanks! Discord Link: /VW6D8Zvm
