"Sona's Chance"
A Highschool DxD fanfiction written by Christopher'Zazel
Chapter 59 "Some Drama, Some Fluff"
Scene (Hyoudou Home)
The Hyoudou house living room was packed to capacity. Sitting on a loveseat was Mr and Mrs Hyoudou, (along with Kunou who was sitting on Issei's mother's lap). On another couch was Serafall, Sona, Rias and Yasaka. On the third couch was Irina, Xenovia, Asia and Issei.
"Ophis? The Ouroboros Dragon? Can it be true?" Yasaka had one hand against her cheek as she showed a worried expression.
Serafall had an indifferent look to her as she replied calmly. "If what Rias and Kunou say is true, if Ophis is interested in Issei, well, I can't see any good coming from it. No sir, no good whatsoever."
Sona had an urge to bite her fingernails considering an unstoppable god is allegedly after her boyfriend. "Should we reach out for help? I don't like this either. Something about all of this makes me nervous."
Irina shows a confused expression. "So this Ophis lady, you guys said she looked like a little kid, right? I really don't see what all of the fuss is about."
Xenovia nodded in agreement. "She sounds like an overpowered midget." The blue haired girl turns her attention onto Issei and shows a victorious smile. "Don't you worry a single hair on that lovely head of yours, after all, you got celestial experts who serve at heaven's request!"
Irina nods as does Asia.
Asia places both of her hands together in a prayer like position. "Amen!"
Most of the room screams, "OUCH!", as they grab their heads in pain.
As Issei takes his hands away from his no-longer throbbing head, a small and orange colored circle appears over the teens shoulder. The room got quiet suddenly as everyone's attention was directed at this glowing and orange circle which bore a familiar crest. Issei looked around the room while not being quite sure what to do.
Little Rias jumped from the couch she was on while getting a strange glance from Sona. "That's the Phenex symbol!" Rias had a shocked expression as she was now pointing at said circle.
Issei looked back at Sona and shrugged his shoulders. "Should I answer it?"
Sona thought for a moment and couldn't come up with a reason as to why the house of Phenex would be contacting Issei of all people. "Well, I don't see the harm in it."
Serafall pulled her sister in close as her arm went around her younger sister's back. "I bet that's little Ravel's parents, calling to thank our cute little fan!"
Yasaka smiles warmly. "Issei has such a kind soul. Mind you, this isn't my opinion, no, ara ara, for I can see his soul and it is indeed very nurturing and loving." Yasaka places both of her hands to her cheeks while she blushes.
Issei's parents both look back at one another while Kunou looks upward at the two. Mrs. Hyoudou shows a very warm smile, however her eyes begin to tear up. Mr. Hyoudou is showing a similar expression however he holds it back just a bit better. The little fox princess nods while showing an infectious smile of her own.
"He's a really good swing pusher too!" Kunou seemed overjoyed at her own comment as both of her little arms were in the air.
Issei takes a deep breath and then looks back at the circle. "Um, hello?"
A quick pulse of flames shot from the floating circle which settled down into a small humanoid figure. This almost looked like a hologram as the image was slowly turning from blurry to sharp.
Finally, Issei found himself looking at a 1 foot tall hologram of Riser Phenex?
"Took you long enough to answer the call, Hyoudou. Pfft!" Riser looked to be in a horrible mood as he stood with his shoulders slumped over.
Issei didn't know what to say as he looked back at Sona for some kind of confirmation as to what to say. Sona looked toward Serafall as Serafall looked toward Yasaka. Realizing that he wasn't going to get any help, Issei looked back at the hologram.
"Oh, hey, Riser. What do you want, man?" Issei took a deep and dry gulp.
"Cut the shit! My mom is all googly goo over your punk ass and its fucking annoying!" Riser punched what looked to be a column of some sort, (which caused the thing to explode into pieces).
Issei lifted an eyebrow. "You're mom? Why would she…?"
"That crap you pulled, erm, saving my sister from those assholes. Well, she made me call you! Be grateful!" Riser punches another pillar.
"Oh, don't worry about it, I would've done it for any…" Issei was cut off when Riser grabbed his side of the communication circle which made the camera end focus only on the Phenex devil's face.
Almost as if he were a cartoon character, Riser's mouth showed sharp teeth as he screamed. "Don't give me that crap! SHUT UP! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! I CAN'T SAY IT! I WON'T!"
Issei had to scoot away from the circle as the volume was almost ear piercing. "Dude, calm down, man…"
Riser took a moment while taking in a deep breath. "I can't believe I am going to say this…damn it… Hyoudou! Mom, erm, Lady Phenex and my father are inviting you to the manor. If you say no, then I'm going to come over there and kick your ass, you cheating bastard!"
Issei tilted his head. "Cheating? Listen birdseed breath, if you want a rematch, you just name the place and the time! And don't worry, I won't need any holy items to take your punk ass down, not this time!"
Riser stopped moving for a moment and then slowly began to form a grin. "After the family dinner, backyard? Just you and me, shrimp! Then mom and dad can see how weak you really are and then Ravel won't have to mar…" Riser caught himself at the end of his sentence and placed both of his hands over his own mouth.
Issei held his breath and did his best not to internally finish what he thought Riser was going to say. Rias ran over toward Issei and jumped onto his lap while looking very upset.
Before Issei or anyone else could respond, Rias proceeded to scream at the one foot presentation of Riser. "Get bent, Riser! Issei isn't going anywhere!"
"Rias? Is that you? What the hell, Hyoudou? Did you do that to her?" Riser had his side of the circle close to one of his eyes as a giant eyeball was looking back at the onlookers. "Riser can't believe what he is seeing. Are you even old enough to be in high school? HAHAHAHAHA!"
Rias's face began to turn the same shade as her crimson hair. "Shut up you stupid deep-fried freak!"
Riser scoffs while he releases his end of the communication circle. "Whatever! Hyoudou, listen up! Ma..erm, Lady Phenex will be contacting you shortly! Do NOT make it a missed call! Get it!?"
At his final word, Riser proceeded to flip Issei off along with anyone else who was watching before the communication got cut off in an orange burst of flames.
"The fuck just happened?" Issei was now staring back at Sona, then Serafall and finally, Yasaka.
All three girls shrugged, however Sona looked a bit upset suddenly.
"Issei, I don't like the idea of you getting into a fight with Riser Phenex again." Sona stood up from her side of the couch as she adjusted her glasses.
"Also, Issei, language please!" Mrs. Hyoudou had both of her hands over Kunou's fox ears.
Issei turned toward the fox princess and forced a smile along with a wink. "Sorry, kiddo."
Kunou pushes Mrs. Hyoudou's hands from her ears while showing an insulted expression. "What is 'she' doing there!?"
Instantly the room turns their attention toward Issei's lap. Rias, (who was casually stretching), finally noticed multiple eyes on her.
Scene (Unknown Location)
Ophis was in deep thought regarding what she was seeing in front of her. Starring ever so deeply into the purple sphere, the infinite dragon god began to go over her internal questions.
"Why do I want to be there? Why does that specific place seem so inviting? Is this what it feels like to be tempted? I see. I want to be there more than I want silence in the dimensional gap? That cannot be though. Is it comfortable there? Is it like the swing? I must know. Also, I do not like that red-haired girl."
Kuroka, (who was sitting next to Ophis on the bed), noticed what the little black haired girl was transfixed on. This made the cat girl begin to grin and blush all at the same time.
"Nya, wanna sit on his lap?" Kuroka purred.
Ophis turned her attention back onto Kuroka very quickly while feeling as though she was caught off guard. "No!"
Kuroka lifted an eyebrow as her grin intensified. "That was a very fast answer. Dare I say, it almost sounded desperate. Ophis chan, it's okay to admit it, you 'want' to sit in his lap. Right? Nya?"
Ophis showed a very emotional response to Kuroka's question as she looked embarrassed while she puffed her cheeks out almost like a child.
Scene (Hyoudou Home, 10 minutes later)
"Be astounded, be impressed, praise me! Behold, Sona, your humble abode!" Serafall was dancing around in a circle as she danced off of the elevator that led to an unknown basement level.
Tsubaki showed up at the Hyoudou house moments ago as she followed the Sitri sisters and Issei with her usual stoic expression. "I don't see how this will be anything close to how we previously were living."
Tsubaki found herself eating her own words the moment her surroundings looked extraordinarily familiar. "Wait, how did you?"
Sona, Issei and Tsubaki were staring at Sona's apartment, (the interior part anyways). Everything looked to be in its place as before however the windows were showing the street view of Kuoh somehow. Sona walked toward the window and tapped the glass lightly. The outside of the home seemed to flicker as if they were looking through a monitor of some kind.
Sona nodded. "Very impressive, Serafall. I suppose this will suffice."
Tsubaki immediately crashed on her bottom bunk bed with her long legs and arms sprawled out.
Issei smiled and looked back toward the elevator entrance. "Well, I guess I should go up to my own room."
Sona stomped her foot down which got Serafall and Tsubaki's attention. "Tonight you can, but tomorrow night, well…" The Sitri heiress began to form a blush.
Issei reached out and pulled Sona into a hug. "You were there when nobody else was."
Sona seemed shocked at the gesture. She slowly then wrapped her arms around and reciprocated the hug and Serafall winked toward Tsubaki, (which made the queen of the peerage blush).
Issei then leaned in and whispered into Sona's ear. "You know, you've never spent the night in my room before, you wanna?"
Sona found herself getting more flustered. "Um..well, okay. But it better be clean! I don't want to see a single indecent thing! So help me, Hyoudou, if I….!"
Instantly cut off, Sona was surprised to see Issei dash from her arms and into the elevator as he was hastily pressing the buttons.
"Yeah, about that, give me ten, no, twenty minutes!" Issei was smiling guiltily as he was desperate for that elevator to go up.
Serafall bursted out laughing. "Hehehehehe! My Issei kun is an Ecchi kun! Hehehehe! Oh, wait, how about I come with you?! I can help clean up your messes and stuff, wahahahaha!" Serafall started to make a mad dash toward the elevator as the doors finally began to slowly close.
Seeing this, Issei pressed the buttons even faster while not wanting Serafall to do something mischievous with him or to him as he attempted to hide his perverted evidence.
Right before the Mao's little hands could reach the desperate teen, the elevator doors finally closed (and to Issei's comfort), he could feel the box-shaped room moving up.
"Oh my god…!" What have I done? Oh, that's right… I left you hanging again, didn't I? Aren't I a stinker? Wahahahaha! Remember my rule from before? You want more chapters? Then I want more reviews, hehe. Okay, now for something completely different. Thanks again to my discordies for all of your help! Overlord, Yuki, and Wargame. Also, thanks to my Balance Breaker Premium member, Moexdestroyer, appreciate the support! This is Christopher'Zazel, signing out.
(FINAL MESSAGE) I would like to make a callout for an anime/manga artist out there. More than one is even cooler. Basically, I want to update the cover art for all of my works on a weekly basis and I would really like it to be original if possible. The artist/artists would need to be proficient in High School DxD character design with the ability to alter said characters. Example; coming up with an adult Koneko, or Ophis. Colored artwork is preferred but we can work on it. The person/person's who do join me on this endeavor will be credited in the comments for each chapter until that cover changes and I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this. Simply join my Discord and give your old buddy, Christopher'Zazel a shoutout.
