Its finally the day, the day of the concert issei is excited he couldn't stop smiling the whole night and now as he wakes up, he takes out the tickets and puts one by both Ravel and Irina's phones and then leaves to go get ready for the show, on his way to the studio he stopped at his old house and just put the tickets in the mailbox and left again and sent the rest to some of his friends with a note telling them to come
On arrival at the studio, he met up with the guys they started to tune up and practice.
With Irina
She tried to find Issei in her sleep by feeling around the bed she opened her eyes and saw that he was gone she then stretched and sat up in the bed and looked at her phone and saw the ticket next to her phone she thought she was dreaming but after rubbing her eyes she squealed in excitement which woke up ravel and she came quickly to see what was the problem.
Ravel(worried) are you okay?
Irina: (happy) Look what was next to my phone this morning.
She showed the ticket and Ravel looked even more shocked to see who it was for
Ravel: did Ise get you this?
Irina:(happy) it could only be him
Ravel went to her room to see if there was one for her as well and Irina heard more squealing coming from the other room, she came running back to Irina with a ticket in hand and they hugged each other with excitement happy they got tickets.
Ravel: (happy) We need to go get ready it starts in a few hours
Irina: I'm with you lets go.
They both went to go get done and freshen up to get ready for the fun night that was upon them.
Ravel started doing her hair along with Irina ravel did her signature twin tails and Irina tied her up into a single ponytail, she wore black jegging pants with sneakers and a white strap top, ravel in a similar fashion with a skirt with a strap top, they had fun getting ready they did receive a message from issei to tell them to be there a bit early due to foot traffic and he will meet them there so they did just that they left in a hurry and locked up the house eager to go to the concert
With Rias and the others sitting in the living room
Rias: it's been a slow day, hasn't it?
Akeno: yes, it has been, but nothing has come up or invites so it's just us and we have done our task for today fairly quickly so there is that as well.
Miki: hmmm you get days like this when you too into a routine, how about we order takeout tonight and mix things up a bit?
Xenovia: that sounds nice I'm thinking of sushi
Koneko: hmmm sounds good to me.
Gouro: we can watch the concert that's happening at the stadium tonight.
Rias: oh, yea we have been so busy with things that we didn't even have time to buy some tickets
Miki: well, there's always next time why don't you invite some friends for dinner our treat
Rias: sure, I'll call them over
She messaged Sona telling her that she'd been invited for dinner and she could bring her peerage for dinner Sona responded and told her that they had other plans for the evening but still said thank you for the invite, Asia messaged Kiba since the rating game he's been very depressed because he feels he hurt his best friend and each of them have been taking turns to check up on him and he's been fine, he said that he's going to come over, Xenovia messaged Irina to see if she's willing to come over but she didn't reply yet
Xenovia: I messaged Irina to see if she with issei and Ravel would mind coming over.
Rias: that would be nice it's been a few days since we last saw them
Miki Asia and Koneko went to go and get the sushi, Rias gave some extra money to Koneko to pay for some of it she wasn't going to burden Miki with paying so much after a while they waited for them to come back and Kiba and gasper arrived and he looked better for worse he looked as if he hadn't been sleeping or keeping up with exercise anymore he let himself go
Kiba: thanks for having me *smiles*
Gasper: hello everyone
Gouro: you all right kid you look like a mess
Kiba: it's just been that type of time, don't worry about it Mr. Hyoudou
Rias: you're one of us and we can enjoy the music we can see on TV
kiba: tickets would have been nice but what are you going to do they have been sold out for a while.
Akeno: I'm sure we can go to the next one if there is.
Gasper: y, yea that would be cool
After a few minutes of small talk miki and the others came back with the food and they all helped set up for dinner infornt of the tv
Miki: well dig in *smiles*
They all slowly ate some sushi from the sushi on the table and turned on the TV to allow them to watch the concert
On the tv
Voice: Welcome to Japan National Stadium where we have our special guest Fallout Boy, Uta, and many more performing tonight
The camera panned around and front and centre was a masked person singing and playing instruments playing music they were really good everyone loved the man singing for all of them
The current song playing
koneko: the guy playing has a nice voice
Rias: you said it
Miki: if I remember correctly issei likes Fallout Boy I remember seeing a few CDs in his room when I was cleaning it once
The girls that plan on getting to know him better but also want to do it right so knowing some of the music he likes would be very helpful
Kiba: hey is that Irina and Ravel with everyone else
Koneko: (confused) what?
kiba: look they moving over the VIP section look
They looked at the TV and saw Irina, Ravel, Sona, Tsubaki, Saji, Momo, tome, Azazel, Sirzechs, Grayfia and Millicas all talking with some other people who were with them in the booth
Rias:(confused) How is that right?
They watched as the person singing bowed and left the stage and then it went dark
Announcer: please put your hands together and welcome Fallout boy
The lights and all the cameras all went to the stage and one of the original members Pete walked onto the stage and the crowd cheered for him as he walked up to the microphone
Pete: hello everyone before we rock the night away I want to make an announcement, little over a 3 months ago we lost Patrick he had some troubles and he was killed here in Japan, I'll keep it brief we considered breaking up the band and even cancelling our spot and role in this concert but I still call it a gift from god we met an amazing kid he had the skills and talent to fill in for our lost member and in the past few months he has become one of our new members officially tonight is his debut please I would like to introduce my new best friends and little brother issei please give him a round of applause
They saw the masked man walk back onto the stage and take his mask off showing off who he was and what he looked like others were shocked and most were cheering for him realizing he could sing so nicely
Pete: the stage is all your man show them how you kill it
Issei: you got it
The others went to their instruments and the lights adjusted as they got ready
In the stands
Isseis group: (shocked) no way

The house was silent confusion and excitement ran wild
Issei: let's do this

The crowd went wild as the song went off they were impressed with his vocal range and they loved each second of his voice
For Irina she loved every second of this she saw her boyfriend having fun and singing like he used to again and she loved the song, it was similar for Ravel she enjoyed this more than she even showed, for the others present they were shocked he can even sing

The crowd cheered as they started singing
The crowd enjoyed the song and even sang along with him Irina and Ravel could swear they were the loudest screaming his name even Azazel and Sirzechs and surprisingly Grayfia were screaming his name with them sona and Tsubaki were also cheering his name along with the others
Back home others were singing along with him happy to hear him sing again and happy to see him have fun, When they finished catching their breaths issei smiled at the crowd, little did he know this was the start of his fan club
Issei: right as much as I'm having fun up here, here is one last song that the guys wanted to play again and we have her here with us everybody here we go immortals
The crowd and Issei started singing
Music start
Issei started singing the crowed loved it they started singing along again
During the song, issei was killing it as he sang, with the lights and strings they made him look like hes flying around with Big Hero 6 clips everywhere

Issei: that's it from me for now please enjoy my new friend Uta!!!!
The crowd went wild as Uta walked onto stage none of the guys left the stage
Uta: welcome everybody

Issei playing the guitar with the rest of the guys playing instruments
The crowd loved to hear the new song they were even stunned by the visual effects going off around them it made them feel like they were in a magic world, everyone was enjoying the music even dancing along, issei was dancing in sync behind her She didn't even see it and the crowd loved it
When they finished the crowed cheered again
Uta: alright everyone still having fun?
Crowed: YESSSS!!!!!!
Uta: then you going to love this one, issei!
Issei started on the guitar
Music start
Uta came next to Issei while he was playing and pulled him forward with her and the two of them had fun next to each other while they performed. While playing issei was lip-syncing her while she sang and played and she was getting deeper into the music
When the song was done Uta bowed and jumped onto Isseis's back and they could hear them talking while they caught their breaths
Uta: Hey Issei why not play a few other songs I'm sure they would love it
Issei: I mean I would but then won't we taking away from the others that still need to perform
Uta: oh didn't they tell you, they cancelled when they heard it's a new album drop for me so that last section I'm giving to you
Issei: no way ... alright I'm game then
She got off her back and He stood forward
Issei: alright here's a new one I came up with a few days ago it was fast to come together but I know the guys already practised the song without me knowing so here we go
The crowd loved the song and wanted more from him, they loved his voice and his style of music too
Issei: alright how's this one?
Many of people felt motivated after hearing the song and they loved it
Issei: All alright ill do one last one Hope you enjoy
As they played his last song isse made a huge name for himself, They crowed loved it he bowed to all of them and left the stage for the night
Back at the house, everyone was utterly shocked they didn't expect this from him, and he blew them all away with his skills
Rias: let's go and congratulate him tomorrow
Miki: I like that idea.
Back at the stadium
Irina, Ravel, Grayfia and Milicas are busy hugging him while the others are standing there impressed with what hes done
Uta: looks like you have some interesting girlfriends here issei
He looked at her and she had a smug look on her face and he just didn't look impressed
Issei: wrong Irina here is my girlfriend ravel is a super close friend of mine the rest are either family or close friends
Both: shut up you're ruining the moment
Issei: fine
After the hug and saying thanks to everyone they then left and drove home as the drive started both Irina and ravel passed out and fell asleep issei smiled and then drove calmly back home he took the girls and brought them back to their rooms, he contemplated changing them but decided not to he first brought in ravel then set her on her bed and to his surprise in her sleep she started stripping to her underwear he quickly booked it out of her room he didn't know how far she was going to go he brought Irina in and she changed into her pyjama's and then got into the bed, issei made sure his car is locked and then locked up the house and then got into bed Irina cuddled up next to him, before he slept he looked at his phone and saw loads of messages from people he didn't know and some people in his class he saw the messages from rias and Akeno saying they loved his performance he then saw one from Saji calling him harem king because uta hugged him he chuckled bit then put his phone down and then turned to Irina and brought her into his grasp and held her tight and kissed her forehead
The next morning he found himself awake surprisingly early
Ddraig: well done partner I enjoyed last night
Issei:" No problem man, but I have another thing I want to get done but I'm not sure when should I do it "
Ddraig: your life force?
Issei:" yea I want to get it fixed or restored if you get what I mean but I was thinking about something else"
Ddraig: and what is that?
Issei:" The possibility of a harem again, I've weighed my options and I'm not going to deny it its highly likely to happen again but I can put my foot down and say no on the other hand things will eventually lead to it being brought up again"
Ddraig: I'm not sure why not talk to your partner about it maybe she's also thought about it herself but in a different light?
Issei: then I'll have to see, let me ask her
He tapped Irina gently and she squinted at him
Irina: morning darling something wrong
Issei: I want to know your thoughts on something important
Irina fully sat up and stretched and looked at him
Irina: what's wrong my love?
Issei: you see the thoughts of me having a harem again came up and I want to know your honest thoughts on it
She looked sad, while she thought about it he could see it wasn't something she was particularly fond of but understood where he was coming from
Irina: look I don't really like the idea of the harem thing again because I don't want you hurt again, but also I know it's selfish but I don't want to be left behind again, the first time around I never got to even enjoy my time with you it was always a fight and I was always left out whether I wanted to or not
Issei: huh I see look I don't want to hurt you it's the last thing I want to do but the thought of it came up and I wanted to know if you're against it or not I'm currently happy with the way things are but if it even had to happen or something I want to know if you're okay with it because I want to make this decision with you
Irina: I'm not entirely against it, if it is healthier and fair to all in the relationship like no one gets left out sort of thing but, I also do personally think it is too soon to start another one
Issei: my thoughts exactly, and I think if I did have another one then all of you would get the same treatment and equal time, the first time around was powered by lust and I'm not putting either of you in that situation if it does happen, I just wanted to know where you stand with it, plus you'd have to be crazy to think I'm going to ignore my guardian angle
Irina: (shocked) you remembered.
Issei: how could I forget
He kissed her forehead and brought her into a hug and she hugged him back
Issei: it's school today I want to talk to Rossweisse or Azazel about getting my life force fixed I don't need that caught me off guard, and I think it's why I asked about the more partners thing Koneko said bedroom arts would be most effective and if I go to yasaka she's probably going to suggest it even if I go to kuroka it's going to be the same deal and I don't know if a relationship will come from it or not
Irina: hmmm I understand then I suppose if something does happen with yasaka then by all means, but think about it first I believe you and I don't want a repeat of last time
Issei: oh of course I wouldn't make the same mistakes twice, I might turn evil instead of dying, but thanks I really needed to know that you okay with it if I do end up having more partners
Irnina: hmmmm
She snuggled into his chest and smiled, she looked back at him and he gave her a deep kiss filled with love
Issei: today is going to be a long one isn't it
Irina: for sure
Ravel(other side of the door) you guys awake yet?
Issei: we will be there in a bit ravel
They spent another two minutes in each other's embrace then got out of bed and got ready for school
At the Hyoudou mansion, they all sat in the dining room while Miki was making food in the kitchen and gouro went outside to get the mail
Rias: I wonder if Issei is coming to school or not
Rossweisse: he better we have a test today
Asia: how was your grandmother?
Rossweisse: oh she was still on my case about getting a boyfriend and teasing me about it but still happy to see me *smiles*
Akeno: I'm sure the time will come so besides Issei having a test any one got anything else interesting happening this week?
Koneko: no...
Rias: well it's not really interesting but Sona did catch Saji trying to play an instrument this morning
Xenovia: I read that dragons are very competitive and try and be better than the rest so maybe Issei being good at music is pushing him to try new things
Rias: please tell me the name of the book you read ill like to know more about the dragons myself
Akeno: I'll agree with that
Gouro: (sad) morning family
They watched him walk back in and they could see the sadness on his face like he was even more guilty about something
All: Morning
Rais: Father, something the matter
Gouro: I found these in the mailbox this morning
He placed the tickets on the table, and all looked at them
Rias: and I thought today was going to be a good one how did none of us find it yesterday
Akeno: well, none of us really left the house yesterday so we couldn't have known
Asia: hopefully he's not upset
Rossweisse: well then we going to have to wait and see then
They arrived at school and walked in feeling okay about today then they heard a car rev loudly behind them as they walked in
They saw isseis car and watched it go to parking the students all ran to see who it was then Issei Ravel and Irina got out of it they took their bags and then he locked it and walked towards his class
They started following him as he sat down, he looked around and saw everyone looking at him
Issei: what got something in my teeth?
Akia: no, how, why, when, all of this
Issei: why do you think I wasn't around for most of last week that's when I got my licence and car and about a few months before I met the band and then they offered me to temporary step in for them and then made me a member
Katase: Irina, did you know about any of this
Irina: nope it was just as much as a surprise for me I did know about the car and licence but the music part, not a clue.
Myumarma: (blushing) Issei can I get a picture, please
Issei: no, one in this class besides Irina gets anything from me and I don't plan on changing that
His class felt bad that he still didn't like them but they knew he has the right to feel this way
Motohama: what about your good old buddies
Issei: no, the two of you aren't my friends
Matsuda: ah come on man sure we friends
Issei: then when is my birthday, angle, don't say it
Silence...
Issei: what's my favourite food?
No one said anything
Motohama: pussy?
Issei: I rest my case...
Everyone was surprised, one would think that someone knows when his birthday was but they don't
Xenovia: your favourite food is fried chicken preferably hot chicken or any spicy foods
Issei: at least someone was right
Xenovia smiled and shed a few tears happy she got something right with him
Issei: now go sit down Rossweisse sensei is here
She walked in and the others all walked back some of the students feeling bad about how they treated him in the past mainly the girls, it started flashing in their minds that the other two dragged him around a lot and on a few occasions he just happens to be there and they beat him for it
myumaura felt bad about it she actually liked him peeping on them made her think that he was looking at her but now he's moved on and she pushed him far away enough to make him not even want to look at her for the rest of the class they see Issei for his actual likes and now he's actually looking after himself and doing better entirely they wouldn't even think that he was perverted
Rossweisse: issei, congratulations about last night I didn't see it but I saw a few clips of it
issei: thank you sensei
Rossweisse: right class here are your tests take one and pass it back
they did just that and once she started the test she watched Issei
Rossweisse:" he's amazing he's taking care of himself and still looking after Irina and Ravel and to top it off she's never seen him and the two looking so happy before, he's become the ideal man in everything not even in just fighting but he made time for everything and made sure to do it right and even now he has a perfect relationship with Irina and the both of them haven't been more happy, I wonder ..."
during lunch break he went to the orc club room to get away from his fan base, he also wanted to see if they had something to say to him, he knew they didn't find the tickets and now they might feel bad
he entered the room and they dropped their tea cups and looked at him with shocked faces
issei: you just wasted tea...
rias: issei, sorry we couldn't-
he spoke over her and she kept quiet when he spoke
issei: figured you didn't see the tickets till this morning
akeno: (sad) yea...
issei: no worries, there's always going to be more
they looked at him confused
Asia: what do you mean?
issei: I'm going to be performing at more concerts in the future, Do you think I'm only going to do that once?
they ran to him and hugged him they took in his touch the best they could before they let him sit down
issei: well I decided to have lunch here ravel and Irina are bringing the food now they told me to go ahead so I'm here, plus the fan base is worse than Kibas
Kiba: what do you mean worse than mine
he pulled out a hand full of crumpled-up papers
issei: roughly 110 numbers from the same girls that hated my guts a few months ago
he snapped his fingers and a small spark left them and set them alight, he sat down and they just watched the numbers burn into nothingness but what surprised them was that it didn't burn the table
they all sat down and got comfy
rias: so how was it meeting Uta last night?
He looked up at her and for once in a while he finally looked at her and she didn't feel anger or hatred coming from him
issei: well I have spent a few days with her already for practice and to sing along
he played a video where he and Uta and having a high-pitched race and he nearly won
issei: Yeah I lost my voice after that, she's a darling to hang out with honestly
Xenovia: that's cool do you have any other signs in progress I liked somewhere I belong
issei: Yeah that was a hard one to sing and still play at the same time, but I got it right
kiba: nice going man im impressed
issei:thanks, you see Saji started playing instruments to try and catch up to me
rias: (giggles) I told them this morning
issei: did you see the video Momo took?
Koneko: (curious) there's a video?
Issei: Yeah check it out
He showed them the video and he was horrible, off key and off-tune, but he was still trying, the video ended when turned around and Momo burst out laughing
Issei: I had the easy part down I could always play and sing just didn't do it much
Irina: (walking in) which is why I'm happy you started again
Ravel: Yeah what she said I'm even enjoying the singing around the house
Akeno: how often does he sing?
Irina: all the time
She put down her bento and handed Issei his
Issei: do not
Ravel: dude you were singing this morning while you were eating
Issei: fine my brain is finishing off songs that I kind of started as a kid but never finished that's what the 3 I sang last night were
They were surprised that those songs came from younger him
Xenovia: Hey Issei was I really right this morning
They all looked at her all of them confused but Asia Issei and Irina
Issei: yes you were
She had a small smile on her face happy she was truly right
Asia: so what are you going to do now issei
Issei: get my life force back I'm going to see if I can go to yasaka if not then I'll have to settle for kuroka to try and help me I need that experience in sage arts to try and recover it at a faster rate, after recent events I can't be caught off guard by having my life force run out at the worst time and die when im needed so I need to have it sorted asap
Koneko: hmm, please try and push for yasaka, I don't need my sister trying to manipulate you or anything
Issei: don't stress about it, It is not set in stone yet
Koneko felt bad that he didn't want to come to her for help but he wanted the more experienced so the process could be sped up she understands that but doesn't like the thought of kuroka being involved
Rias: if I remember correctly bedroom arts are the most effective
Issei: I know I had to talk to Irina about it to see if she's okay with it if it does happen to go down "that" route
Irina: I'm fine with it but he knows the one rule I gave me
Issei: and, i'll never break it
Ravel: hashtag whipped
They all burst out laughing at him and enjoyed the rest of the lunch break after that they went back to class, issei went to Azazel's office and told him what he wanted to do and wanted time off for about a week or so Azazel gave him permission but requested that Rossweisse goes with him to update him on the situation and he agreed
Later that day issei picked up Rossweisse and sped down the road with Rossweisse in the passenger seat
Rossweisse: (panicked) ise slow down, please
Issei: sure
He slowed down the car and they drove through the night to get to Kyoto land of the Yokai
