Chapter 53 "Morning Antics"

Scene (Hyoudou Home)

It was very early in the morning as Issei teleported successfully, (for the first time ever), near the front door of his home. Checking his wrist watch, it was only 5am.

"Well, I am so glad that I've mastered the art of not waking Sona, but to finally be able to use magic circles, that's freaking awesome. Yay me." Issei, (quietly), was speaking to himself followed up by a self reassuring nod and very warm smile.

Turning the door handle, Issei stealthily walked into home. It was still dark and the lights were turned off, however Issei's devil vision made this barely an inconvenience. On his way down the hallway, a twinkle caught his eye. The shine came from near the broom closet.

Standing next to what caught his eye, Issei saw the split piece of that one, (pain in the ass), sword that he had broken. "Oh, hello, asshole. You are going in the dumpster, yes you are." Issei proceeded to pick the broken blade only to regret his actions immediately.

"Shit, shit, shit, it fucking burns. Hey, why can't I release it?" Issei is now flailing his arm while trying to let go of the sword only for his sacred gear to manifest.

Glowing from the green jewel of his crimson gauntlet, D'draig spoke. "HOW VERY INTERESTING, I THINK I CAN MAKE USE OF THIS."

"D'draig, I can't let this thing go! It burns like fire!" Issei continued to flail in pain.

"CALM YOURSELF AND ENDURE IT FOR JUST A WHILE LONGER. I NEED TO CONCENTRATE SO BE QUIET, PARTNER!" Issei's gauntlet began to glow with colors of red and green which continued to greatly intensify. Then the crimson and clawed hands began to tighten their hold against the now golden glowing blade.

"Hurry the fuck up, dude, it really hurts!" Issei was cringing with pain as he bit his lip.

"ALMOST THERE, ALMOST THERE…AND…DONE." The golden glow of the broken blade completely dissipated while what was left of the sword shattered into microscopic pieces and blew away as if nothing more than dust.

"Oh for hell's sake, that really hurt." Issei was panting while holding onto his gauntleted arm as the pain started to die down.

"EXTRACTION, COMPLETED. INTERFACING, INTERFACING, UPDATING, UPDATING, COMPLETED. WELSH DRAGON BOOSTED GEAR PROGRAM, REBOOTING, PLEASE WAIT." Issei's gauntlet vanished.

"What the hell was that all about?" Issei was waiting for a response however it was taking far longer than he'd like.

"Issei?" "Papa?" Turning around toward the living room, little Rias accompanied with little Kunou, were both wiping their sleepy eyes.

"Kunou, um, Rias, hey good morning girls." Issei was rubbing the back of his head when Kunou darted from Rias's side and just like a little golden blur, she reappeared attached to one of Issei's legs.

"Papa! Good morning! I want breakfast!" Kunou seemed overjoyed at her father's presence.

Rias proceeded to walk up calmly toward Issei, (who was now looking back at her). "Issei? We haven't hugged in forever. Can we?"

Nodding, Issei holds out his arm. Little Rias wraps her arms around the teen's side as Issei lowers his arm around her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Issei. Waaaah!" Crying in his shirt was little Rias with an extreme case of bedhead.

"Shhh, I know, I know, it's okay..Shh." Issei was patting Rias's head with one hand and doing the same with Kunou's head using his other hand. He had a warm and understanding smile on his face. "Look, I forgive you, okay? As far as your situation, well, I have no control over that. But don't worry, President is Rias and Rias is President." Issei thought about what he had just said and hoped it was conveyed properly.

Rias, (who stopped crying), looked up at Issei with her large blue and watery eyes. "Really?"

"You bet, Rias." Issei winked while smiling.

Rias smiled brightly while her tears continued to flow. "You called me by my name. Not in anger, not in extreme cases, but because you…" Rias was cut off by Kunou.

"Boring, come on, let's go make some breakfast. I told Ria tan that me and you make a great team in the kitchen! She huffed and puffed about it. She is so funny, papa!" Kunou was also looking up at Issei with stars in her golden eyes.

Issei looked at both girls while showing a nervous smile. Rias looked embarrassed and Kunou looked hungry and excited.

"Okay, as long as the two of you keep it down a bit, yeah, I suppose we can make breakfast, but I need to shower first, alright?" Issei was patting both girls on their heads again.

Rias nods but Kunou shakes her head. Issei looks down at the fox princess.

"Oh, come on now, don't be like that. I'll be really fast. Besides, you'll get to see your, erm, papa in his highschool uniform. Geez, that sounds weird now matter how you look at it." Issei shook his own head from his last sentence and smiled back down at Kunou.

"Uniform?" Kunou flicks one of her ears.

Rias's eyes widen suddenly as she looks back down at her own body. "Oh shit, I can't go to class like this!"

"Language, Rias!" Issei was staring down at Rias with a stern expression.

Rias froze in place momentarily, she then relented. "I'm sorry."

Issei nods with his eyes closed. "Alright."

"But look at me, Issei! There is no way I can go to school like this!" Rias was now looking frustrated.

Still with his eyes closed, Issei continues to nod. "Yes, yes, I know, I know, there, there. Listen, don't sweat the small stuff. Worst case scenario, we have Sona pull a few strings, meanwhile you can study here at the house."

Rias's attitude changed into her childish-grumpy one. "Sona…" The little redheaded princess's face contorted into a cute little scowl.

At the same time, both Issei and Kunou look toward Rias and say, "Rias/Ria tan?!", in unison. Right afterwards, both father and daughter look back at each other and smirk.

Rias's jaw dropped as she now had defeated expression.

"Well, let me run upstairs and hop in the shower, I'll be right…"

(Knock Knock Knock!)

Instantly, little Rias, little Kunou and Issei all stare at the front door with suspicion.

"You two stay back in the living room, just in case." Issei was pushing both girls toward the end of the hallway.

(Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock…!)

"Son of a bitch! I'm coming, hold your shit!" Issei was stomping toward the front door in sheer frustration. "I just want to take a fucking shower…jeez!"

Unbolting the deadlock, Issei slammed the door open while showing off his dissatisfaction with the current circumstances. "What the hell do you… Irina? Amazon?"

"Xenovia, it's Xenovia, you moron!" Xenovia looked irate as the hood of her cloak was down, showing off her blue hair along with its green patch.

"Xenovia? Please! You're not helping the situation!" Irina was trying to fake a warm smile while covering for her partner's behavior.

Scratching his head, Issei turned his attention toward Irina. "What do you guys want?"

Interrupting the conversation, Xenovia's anger looked to have doubled as her voice got louder. "The situation? The situation!? Really, Irina, the situation, you say?! Okay, let's talk about the situation! First of all, explain that atrocious thing that you are carrying on your back!?"

Issei now leans against the doorway while yawning.

"It's an original piece! One of a kind! It's a painting that is…" Irina was now cut off by an even angrier Xenovia.

"You spent our entire stipend on that cheap copy of whatever it's supposed to be! Face it, Irina, you got scammed! We had to spend the night in an abandoned church! We had to bathe in a vacant fountain! All because of you!" Xenovia punched at a nearby tree in anger.

"But, the lord doth say…" Irina, (once again), was cut off by Xenovia.

"Then there is the second problem! My Excalibur Destruction! Your childhood friend broke it! Again, this is your fault, Irina!" Xenovia now fell to the ground on one knee as her stomach began to growl at supernatural levels. "Ooooh…and the third problem…uggh…we don't have any money for food."

Irina had nothing to say. Then, both girls looked back toward Issei, (who was still leaning against the doorway while looking disinterested).

"Tell you what. If you promise me that you two will behave yourselves, you can stay for breakfast." Issei was rolling his eyes hoping that he wouldn't regret this decision.

Scene (Unknown Location)

"Neko, I must begin the next stage of my surveillance soon." Ophis was standing next to a mirror as different styles of lolita clothing would manifest itself onto her, then change into something else seconds later.

"Nya, I see. So, tell me about this next stage?" Kuroka was tossing a yellow ball of yarn into the air and catching it with her other hand.

"It will involve direct contact with the Sekiryuutei. Depending on the outcome, one of two options are guaranteed to occur. The first being that he may be persuaded to come along with me willingly. The second will be the unknown-infinite variable." Looking at herself in the mirror, Ophis tilted her head while showing the slightest of smiles. "Yes, this will do." Ophis was now wearing a pink and black sundress along with matching hair ribbons.

"So, did you need me to do anything, Nya?" Kuroka batted the yellow yarn into the corner of the room.

"Perhaps you might help me in restraining the Sekiryuutei, if it comes to that." Ophis's slight smile turned into a slight grin.

Scene, (Hyoudou Kitchen)

"Alright, kiddo, pass me the pancake mix." Issei was holding a large mixing bowl along with a spatula.

Kunou was holding onto a large plastic bag of pancake and waffle mix as she lifted it onto the counter next to Issei while smiling brightly. "Check, papa kun!"

"Great, okay, Rias, look for the vanilla extract for me, I think mom keeps it in the cupboard next to the sink." Issei started to add the mix to his bowl while also smiling.

Little Rias made a cute salute and began to rummage through the cabinet. "Let's see, cinnamon, clove, brown sugar, ah, vanilla extract!"

As this was going on, not far down the hallway was a half-asleep Yasaka, (who was rubbing the sleep from her golden eyes). "Yawn, ara ara."

Smelling the air, the fox queen begins to slowly wake up as she continues on her way toward the kitchen. Walking into the entrance way of the dining room, Yasaka was surprised at the two girls sitting at the large table.

"Ara ara, good morning, ladies." Yasaka shows her sleepy but trademark crescent shaped smile.

Irina, (who was sitting opposite of Xenovia), smiled very nervously. "Um, good morning, um, ma'am?"

Xenovia remained quiet and didn't give the blonde woman any eye contact.

Slowly making her way around the table, Yasaka made a very slight bow and continued onward towards the kitchen.

Instantly finding the scene in front of her beyond cute, Yasaka made a quiet giggle within her arm sleeve as a blush began to form on both of her cheeks.

Issei was teaching Kunou how to use a waffle iron properly as he had her standing on a stool right beside him. "So, when the light turns green, that means it's ready for the next waffle. Easy peasy."

"Ah, I see, this one is different from the one mommy uses. With hers, you just put the iron over the stove and rotate it after some time. As you say, papa, "easy peasy". But this one is easier peasier." Kunou laughed at her own words.

Meanwhile, Rias was also on a stool, preparing coffee, on the other side of Issei. "How strong should I brew it, Issei? I don't usually do this so…?"

Looking over toward Rias, Issei patted her head and looked over toward the coffee machine. "Just fill the basin a little more and we should be good. That's usually how mom and dad make it."

Nodding and smiling, Rias adds more coffee grounds.

"Ara ara, I just can't take it anymore!" Yasaka was blushing like never before.

Hearing the sudden outburst, little Rias, little Kunou and not so little Issei, all flinched at the random jumpscare.

Before Issei could turn his head around, two hands were grasping at his chest. Yasaka was now behind her husband with both arms wrapped around him.

"Are you intentionally trying to make me fall even deeper in love with you? Is that your devious plan, my little dragon of domination?" Yasaka then bit Issei's ear. "Nom!"
