The next day issei could be found training like a madman while the others were training, could be seen breaking everything around him and nothing seemed to be touching him anymore, they watched as he blew up a dummy and the pieces stopped before they hit him
Rias: issei what is that power, if you don't mind me asking?
Issei: all I know is that it's super old abilities and that I'll be able to do more things with given time im still trying to figure out what's going on
Akeno: have you noticed nothing touches you anymore?
Issei: wait what?
Koneko: look.
She threw a large punching bag at him and it started to tear into pieces and the contents stayed floating around him
Issei: well then...
He tried to let it drop and it hit the floor they looked at the mess and Irina came to touch him
Irina: looks like I can touch him
Akeno was the next closest person to him and she was able to touch him
Akeno: (sad) I can't ...
They could see there was a decent amount of space between her hand and his arm and Irina was physically touching him
They watched the mark move to that spot and make a small explosion to make her move her hand away she quickly pulled away and he grabbed her hand to check it
Issei: are you okay?
This time she was able to have physical contact and the mark didn't move from his arm
Akeno: im fine, it's okay...
He held her hand tightly and then let it go
Rias: (curious) What was that about?
She tried to come and touch him but the marker pushed her back and koneko caught her
They all looked confused as to what was going on with this thing
Koneko: you don't think that thing knows what we did to him do you?
Asia and xenovia tried to touch his hand but they couldn't Rossweisse and Ravel came and they could touch him
Issei: okay then...
They all looked at him with concerned faces
Ravel: dude this is dangerous what if someone that doesn't know about magic tries to touch you and ends up having them get hurt
Issei: but, this doesn't make any sense
He walked to Rias and held her hand and he was able to then he let go when she tried again it didn't let her touch but it didn't push her back again
Issei: okay this is confusing me
He covered his face with his hands then sat down and tried focusing on this new power to see how it works
The girls all walked to the side with concerned looks on their faces
Irina: it looks like it is selective of who it allows in and who it lets in that's just what ive seen
Akeno: But Ravel is right this is dangerous
Ravel: none of you are hurt right?
Rias: thankfully not
Koneko: president if I didn't catch you, you would have been very hurt whatever that marker is doesn't like you very much
Rias was sad that she was being pushed away physically but even when she was trying to make a change something was pushing her away
Ravel:" I wonder "
She motioned to the girls to relax, She picked up a spear and threw it at him and he caught it with his hand
Issei: ravel whats up
They were all shocked that he caught it let alone knew who it was
Ravel: first of all you not looking this way yet you knew
Issei: please you're in front of me sitting in front of me
Akeno: um issei we behind you by the door...
He opened his eyes and looked back and there they were
Rossweissie: it looks like you gained some hyper-perception
They came closer and looked at him
Rias: you okay if we blindfold you and see what you can do?
Issei: sure what the harm in that
As they started walking it was like he could see through their bodies and could see their magic flowing through them rias,akeno, Asia,xenovia, and Rossweisse had red magic flowing through them and in their centres, there was a chess piece feeding and pushing that power around, when he looked at ravel he could see fire moving around her body and her mother's chess piece regulating her magic then when he looked at Irina he could see her holy magic spreading from the mark on her hand where he believes her card is, when it came to akeno her colours were more purple than red
Issei:" Probably a result of being fallen..."
He closed his eyes and blindfolded himself and it didn't feel like anything changed he could still see
Issei: girls I can still see...
They looked back at him and he was already blindfolded
Rias: then let's see how well this works
Rias Rossweisse and koneko ran to the front and attacked his head and he blocked all of them and pinned them to the ground as he was pinning them to the floor Irina Xenovia and akeno attacked him from his sides and back he dodged the attacks and from irna and xenovia and then pinned akeno down
He didn't move when a fireball was sent towards him and it was negated by the weird field around him
Koneko: I call hacks, that ability is broken
Rias: he perfectly negated everything sure given dragon senses but that wouldn't give him the power to be able to see us with a full 360-degree range
Issei: you have a mark on the back of your shirt rias...
Rossweisse: then walked behind her and checked and indeed there was a mark
Akeno: looks like it's not just him he can look around
Issei took off his blindfold and his eyes were predominantly red
Issei: well that's going to give me a headache
???: wear glasses it will help with your vision and headaches
He sighed and then started packing up
Irina: what's wrong ise
Issei: im going to go get sunglasses
He went to the mall and bought a black frameless round pair and put them on
Issei: Yeah works well for me
He paid for them then drove to the mountainside side and then went to his secluded spot in the forest He raised his hand and then made a small blade out of Ddraig's scales and it looked like it was part of his armour and then through it into a dummy and hit its head then watched as a gremory magic circle opened up and Grayfia came through
Grayfia: you ready?
Issei: sure let's go
Grayfia: I like the glasses, they suit you
Issei: thanks
She teleported them away and he found himself in a frozen wasteland
Issei: so grayfia are we really meeting your family head
Grayfia: yes with your status mother has shown some interest in the new family member
Issei: you know I still find it weird that im getting a few of your family features or it could just be conscience too
Grayfia: It is why she wishes to meet you she wants to confirm it herself
Issei: well hopefully this goes well, but dang I may not normally feel the cold but this is just crazy
A significant wave ice cold wind washed over them pushing isseis hair back and freezing it but then went back to normal and ice started to form around his glasses
Grayfia: just relax if you are getting our features then you should become one with the cold
Issei: well I'll give it a try then
They walked into the Lucifuge house and there was not a sound to be heard
Issei: is everyone home?
Grayfia: yes my mother and her servants live here my brother has disappeared but it's not important now
Issei: whatever you say
They reached the main room and there stood Lady Lucifuge in her glory
Grayfia: Mother I have brought him like you wanted
Lady L: hmmm indeed he has picked up on our features, yet he's still different
Issei: it's nice to meet you, my lady
He bowed infornt of her
Lady L: call me mother since you are part of the family now
He raised his head and smiled
Issei: Mother it's nice to meet you
Lady L: are you cold red dragon emperor?
Issei: I'll be honest I'm a fire dragon im not as cold as I should be but im feeling a bit chilly here and there
Lady L: hmmm perhaps you will make a good addition but not with those abilities you now possess
Both Grayfia and Issei looked at each other and then back at her
Issei: right now I know maybe abit of the story, tannin said it was very similar to a man who had the queen of curses with him, I was told ill be able to do a lot but im still learning like earlier today I was able to have a 360 view around me and those around me like I can see that there is a blue gem to the right of this room that looks like its been protected there
Lady L: indeed it is the 6 eyes, It is a fine ability but there is darkness following you whether you like it or not that curse that has attached itself to you knows what it's doing
He held his hand out and watched the mark move around and then hide its self again
Issei: well im not sure about that but these abilities whether I like it or not are now a part of me i'll have to make do with them and try my best to contain them and not let them consume me
Lady L: you have a nice resolve, but your 6 eyes use them to read your enemy's movements with more training you might be able to see how our magic spells were constructed and use that to your own gain those eyes break down how a spell is formed cast and constructed you could learn a lot from just watching now
Grayfia: you seem hesitant about something mother
Lady L: that mark painted a target on his back and the more it's used the more danger he brings to everyone around him as such I don't want any danger in my home
Issei: that's fair but if I can handle the threat that comes my way and I make sure not to bring danger to your home or family
Lady L: what makes you think that you can handle the threats that may come if you do not know them
Issei: i'll be honest I don't know but I went up against Loki and had him imprisoned and the same went for Shalba, Diodora sure I didn't kill him, shalba did but I still fought even if it meant my death
Lady L: hmmm you seem to be quite sure of yourself... then welcome to the family issei be sure to come and visit from time to time Venelana talks about you from time to time *smiles*
Issei: (smiling) Sure i'll come around when I have time if you can manage to come to the human world then maybe you can see me singing live in front of other people
Lady L: my daughter will tell me when your next show is I can't wait to see my new son perform for us all
Issei: cool...
Lady L: All alright you may leave I will see you around
She turned to ice and was gone
Issei: please tell me that wasn't just it
Grayfia: yes it was
Issei: well then let's go home
Later that night issei was lying in bed with Irina cuddled next to him sleeping
Issei: "It's powerful don't get me wrong but it's also dangerous if I don't control it but it's also the key to unlocking the gate for evil to come through, what do you make of that ddriag?"
Ddraig: I wouldn't know partner it's new to me as well but as a precaution, we can limit the power and monitor it for now the dangers of this have been advised by a few people now
Issei: "That's what im worried about the danger that comes with it what is so and that's whatever is on the other side is waiting for someone to get me out of the way and take the key I hold but I also wonder what the other keys look like "
Ddraig: a bad one, but I suppose we can be wary and stay on the lookout in behaviour changes in those around us with your dragon senses and now 6 eyes you would be able to tell very quickly
Issei: Yeah that works, night ddraig
Ddraig: night partner
The next morning, he woke up and got dressed
Irina(sleepy) Honey where are you going?
Issei: another interview I'll be back later promise *smiles*
He gave her a kiss and she pulled him onto the bed being intimate like this was a dream for all of them like it slowly started to get hotter as they went he pulled away and looked into her eyes
Issei(blushing) damn it why do I need to work today, we can continue this later alright
Irina(blushing) sure thing my love
They gave each other a quick peck and then he left again she heard his car start and then drive off
Ravel: (through the walls) You know these walls are thin right I heard all that
Irina started giggling then the two both burst out laughing with each other.
At the hyoudo mansion
Miki: I wonder if Issei will come around today?
Rias: I'm sure he will but how are you holding up
Gouro: pretty bad actually with the way things have been going with trying to reconnect with him, but him changing his name the way he did really hurt
Rias: it was a surprise for us too he took on my sister in laws maiden name
Miki: you mean Grayfia took him in?
Akeno: that is correct yes.
Miki: (deep breath) Where did we go wrong?
Asia: he has mentioned a few times that you locked him out of the house one night and then he went to a forest and sat in a cave and then the next morning he was in a better place than where he last remembered
Xenovia: she's right the first time he mentioned it you both had shocked faces and went white and you left the room fast
Miki(sad) you see the night that happened our family and the shido family had a massive fight, it was before they moved away we fixed things and we moved on Irina's mother wasn't happy about it but we let that be in the past for both their sakes
They all looked confused
Miki: you see I was best friends with irnas mother she and I grew up together and when we both fell pregnant we said we both wished to have girls, and when I gave birth to a boy she wasn't so pleased since she gave birth to irina, we both looked over the fact hoping that they treat each other like siblings but boy where we wrong as they grew up together they both started to become more close they started experimenting with each other irnas mother found her kissing issei and she snapped she didn't want them to even bath together granted they were young and didn't know any better she didn't want her child to loose her innocence so soon...
Gouro: toji and I tried to plead with her that they were just kids and it was bound to happen sooner or later and if things went well they would still be together when they were older but she didn't have any of it and she forced the words of demon child on issei and the next week they happened to move and Irina was forced away out of isseis life, but the day they left her we were so angry and frustrated with ourselves we didn't see that we ignored him and a few days after they left the image of demon child was burned into our minds that we took our anger on him when he didn't know what we did and you know what happened after that he didn't even know she kissed him...
Miki: after venting out our anger and calming down we then realized the mistake we made and spent the night looking for him we had search parties and everything looking for him and when we did find him he should have been dead but he wasn't his little heart fought on we took him the hospital and they brought him back to health but we were told that night he wouldn't make it and when he did we were happy but something was different about him he started acting out in different ways such as breaking things tantrums looking for Irina then after that his "addiction started" and we decided just to dismiss it and continued to do so till we just completely ignored him
Rias: (tearing up) Didn't you get him therapy or anything that could have helped?
Miki: no, we didn't, even when we thought about it at the time we didn't even have enough money to take ourselves to the hospital so we ended up hoping and praying he would be alright but clearly we were the issue, not him him
Gouro: we put him into anything we could such as singing lessons and instrument playing just so we could get him to do something else but it was too late we unintentionally cut the stings to our own son and when he brought you all here he made a dream of ours come true I'm not sure if you ever heard us or him say we always wanted a daughter and the fact he brought us all of you was just the cherry on top and now look we have our daughters but not our son
The girls all had a bit of trouble keeping the tears back but they managed
Koneko: hey look issei is in another interview on tv
She showed her phone blowing up with the notifications
Miki: lets go and watch
They turned on the TV and found the channel where he was on
Issei: well I'd rather not talk about her for her own safety she is safe and I don't intend to let the public know her mother just yet
Interviewer: aw man such a shame she looks like such a darling
Issei: oh trust me she is
Interviewer: Can you answer something for me that has been a debate for a while now
Issei: go for it
Interviewer: do you have multiple partners
Issei: yes that is correct
The room went silent
Issei: well you see it's a bit complicated I did have a lot of partners at one stage but then it became 3 and we are happy with our lives we each put in the effort to make the relationship work and yes they all know each other, yes that is my life
Interviewer: (shocked) im impressed you have the time for school, work and even so much more it's amazing you have the energy to even have time to go to the gym
They both laughed abit
Issei: yea we gym together, i'll say this it's not all dreams like one would think theres a lot to consider and a lot that needs to be spoken about, if not Everybody gets hurt and trust me that broke me but now things are better healthier and we are happy
Interview: that's still just impressive, but now Issei can you explain how you came up with your songs as you know in Japan you are the number one listened-to artist to this day and in the world, you have taken the third most listened-to artist behind drake and taylor swift
Issei: dang I should really look at my phone more I didn't even know my manager just keeps telling me im doing great and to keep up the work
Interviewer: I know you and Uta have a tour coming up and to top it all off you and her have made the music for the new scream movie how did that just happen
Issei: we were bored on the day and looked at the list of people that want to work with us and since we both liked the scream movies we said why not and that's how it happened and going on tour with her, I was against it because I want to finish school but yet my teachers said no it's alright I can go and they will send a teacher with me so I can still do the learning when I'm not busy and have the time which ill make sure I have
Interviewer: wow so they just said you can go
Issei: the video that I'm sure you saw with her and me singing was at my school she legit came to my class and said hey I want you to come with and that's all she wrote
They started laughing again almost crying from the laughing
Interviewer: you know when we see you either on TV or in video you seem to be such a high-status person with like 5 assistants but in person, you are so relaxed and calm about life, it's a nice change for me and even everyone here backstage we were so nervous thinking we need to make sure everything is perfect than when I got here I find you helping them like its no problem at all
Issei: well thanks when I started working I was making a lot of money, but I grew up poor and I used to waste my money on stupid things in adult fashion *coughs* but after I got engaged I slowly stopped with it but then after we had or differences and ended the relationship
Interviewer: are you two still on good terms
Issei: yea she and I were good last night actually we were hanging out with the girls I was in a relationship with we are still kinda close not like before but they got better we were all gyming last night
Interviewer: now I have a serious question about this
A picture appeared on the screen of him standing with Azazel Sirzechs and Zeoticus while he was holding his license
Issei:(laughing) Oh dang that was a good day
Interviewer: mind explaining for us please because out of all your social media accounts, this was the most questionable picture you just happen to be so good looking and then you with these 3 handsome men and neither of you are model is just a crime to the industry
Issei:(laughing) right so the one with the black hair and blonde fringe is my father figure along with the older-looking redhead who would have been my father in law and the younger redhead is like a brother to me and he would have been my brother in law
Females: I want their babies
Issei: woah ladies relax the two redheads are married and the other one is just getting old (laughing)
Issei and the interviewer were just laughing out loud then Issei felt his phone ring
Issei: (tearing up from laughing) Oh god look he's calling me
He answered his phone put it on speaker and brought it close to his mic
Azazel: (angry) Brat I won't take you fishing anymore for that
He put down and Issei took a few moments to catch his breath
Issei: (calming down) Woo that was gold I'll get him some whisky or bourbon for his birthday ill see you later
Interviewer: wow I would love to see a full day of what goes on in your life
Issei: well right now I live with my one girlfriend since the other two work and I have a roommate as well and the 3 of us live in an apartment, maybe ill take up that idea when I have a house or two in my name, but for now I can show what most of my day is like when I make a song
Interviewer: go right ahead
Issei: okay guys back there mind getting me a sound board
He was brought all the things and then hit all the buttons and made a whole lot of disconnected noise, he then turned to the camera and the whole studio was confused he could see it on their faces
Issei: trust the process.
Then started changing the pitch of a few buttons then he took a keyboard and randomly played something
Issei: nope not right...
He adjusted their stokes then then it came to a right sound
Issei: let me see a guitar quickly
One of the backstage members brought him one then he played something and tuned it then went back and played a few sounds, mumbled to himself then got ready
Issei: alright you ready
The people in the studio said yes and then he started
He started with the soundboard and then played a few keys then added the high hats and claps then base as he was singing and everyone was amazed by his skills
While singing he was slowly changing the timing of everything while he played the keyboard and then halfway when he pulled the guitar out and made a transition between them so that he shocked the whole world with another song
Song end
Interviewer: can you do it again
Issei: sure want something that I haven't done yet
Interviewer: YES PLEASE
Issei: All alright let's see
He started another beat and rapping shocking everyone that he can he could do it on the spot like this and still change the beat so nicely throughout the song
After playing the song
Interviewer: woah I'm amazed you just made two songs and just made it like it was nothing
Issei: because it is easy most people don't realize it but nothing against the other artists but they tend to overthink the lyrics and the sound and end up sampling and outsourcing a lot of their things and then sure the song does well but its not form the heart
Interviewer: thank you for coming are we going to be getting a few new songs from you while you are on tour?
Issei: possibly the song I made a few more love songs to keep a listen out for that
He shook the interviewer's hand and then he left the stage
Back at the house
Rias: wow he really has gotten good at this hasn't he, I mean to just drop two songs out of the blue like that no practice nothing just straight from his heart
Rossweisse:(happy) Hmm well I guess I'm going with him on tour
Akeno: I wonder If he gives us tickets for a few of them
Asia: I think we can see as we can see later.
The next day they were walking to school.
Akeno: oh shoot I forgot something go on ahead I'll go back home to get my stuff
Rias: sure, the thing I'll see you at school
She nodded and Akeno started to make her way back to the house.
???: hey you stop
She turned around and everything went black.
After a few moments She awoke to find herself in a dark room and found her arms tied up above her head, she looked and saw two faces with disgusting looks
Akeno(frustrated) what the hell do you want with me?
Motohama: (angry) he wouldn't help us when he has multiple partners so we going to take one of his girls and hurt him
She tried to use her devil strength to break the binds but it was too hard she looked confused as to why she couldn't break the binds when she easily could
Matsuda: don't try and fight it we drugged you to keep you awake but weak we heard you're a sadist so you going to love this
They ripped her clothes off and licked their lips looking at her exposed body
With rias
Rias and the others got to school and saw Issei pull into his car they walked over to them
Rias: Hey Issei by any chance is akeno with you, she went back to get something from home, but she hasn't responded to any of my messages and I can't track her
Issei: really she went back? I drove past the house like 5 minutes ago I didn't even see her driving here and I was going slow this time, let me try something
He closed his eyes and focused on his hearing his six eyes mixed improved mind-reading spell he pushed himself to get the whole town and started listening for her voice
Rias: he looks so handsome today...
Xenovia: I hope that test isn't today
Asia: mom and dad miss him I wonder if I should talk to him about it
Irina: hmmm it's not like her to go missing like that even with teleportation if she came to the school we should be able to feel her signature
???: her boobs are so soft man
???: you should feel her pussy I can't wait to fully dig in and take her virginity if she hasn't lost it already
Akeno: please no someone help I don't want this issei help me, please
Within seconds, he went running towards the school and an axe kicked the main door in and ran like a mad man alerting the people who saw him start bolting and following him they watched him smash through a door and they all stood on the outside the door and the student council came running to assess the situation and they saw two bodies being flung out of the room with their pants off
Issei walked out of the room shirtless came out the scars of Fenrir's teeth were still full on his body and other cuts littered all over his body and his build no one expected from him
Issei: (angry) ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS YOU TWO
Those parts of the supernatural could feel his magic going wild knowing the dragon is poking at the door
The teachers came to see what was happening and saw the two boys
Principle: mr Lucifuge can you catch us up, please
Issei: (angry) This works so well call the police I'm going to sort out what they did
He walked back into the room and came back out carrying akeno bridle style covered with his shirt and Balzer, they could see by her eyes that she had been drugged
Issei: (angry) Sort them out or I'll kill them myself
Motohama: (scared) Come on man don't-
Issei kicked him in his mouth then kicked him into the wall then kicked him repeatedly in his chest.
Issei:(angry) You don't get to fucking speak or do you want me to break your ribs
He placed his foot on his chest and cracks could be heard
Matsuda: (scared) Dude we your friends
He kicked into the wall and Issei kicked him hard enough to break his jaw
Issei:(angry) Don't fucking speak you two are sick you know that
He walked away leaving everyone in shock.
Principle: call the police and ambulance
Sona: already done sensei saji has it covered
With Issei he went to the orc club room and sat with her on one of the couches, he looked at her and saw she was crying and clinging to him for dear life
Akeno: (crying) im sorry you had to help me *sniff* they caught me off guard and drugged me it messed with my strength and I was weak
She cried into his chest and he brought her close and stroked the back of her head
Issei: please tell me if I got there in time and I wasn't too late
Akeno:(crying) No they didn't only touch me they were about to but you showed up
Issei: what else did they say or do
Akeno:(crying) Why were planning to rape me to get back at you for not helping them get girls
Issei: thank you for telling me that, I'll handle them myself, no one hurts the ones I love
He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arms around her
Akeno: (tears In her eyes shocked) you you still love us
Issei: (chuckles) Yeah I still you love all sure we had a fight but we all needed time to calm down don't you think
Akeno( smiling ) Yes, but what now what happens between us
Issei: im not sure you girls still have some proving to do ravel did say you admitted to not really knowing much about me as a person but you are making the effort
Akeno: that's right *sniff* I even started to learn some spicy dishes that you could like
Issei: then I look forward to it let me know when you make id like to taste some
Akeno: hmmm sure I will, issei
Issei: hmmm
Akeno: (calming down) Are we ever going to be like we were before the fight, not having you by my side while I sleep breaks my heart every time we have to sleep
Issei: im not sure I've changed a bit so have you now don't get me wrong but I thought you were a sadist
Akeno: It's only stuff I want to do with you, you are the love of my life and there are things that you can bring to my life that others can't, I can't speak for the others but we do feel the same way if not more since you left, and I was serious when I said I want you to be my husband no other man can replace you
Issei: I see, well I think give it some more time and maybe things will come back to how they were but not fully I have Irina yasaka and Rossweisse are a big part of my life now so it's not going to be the same but normal again
Akeno: (happy) I can live with that
Issei: you still a little drugged i'll message Rosssweisse to tell them that you still need some time and that everything is fine
Akeno nodded and watched him type the message and then put his phone down she got more comfy in his warmth
Issei: you can sleep i'll watch over you, no one will hurt you again
She nodded and closed her eyes
She slowly fell asleep and relaxed and let her rest, he heard the door open and saw Rias Sona and the principal walk in
Principle: mr Lucifuge how is she
Issei: she's alright told her to sleep for a bit and i'll watch over her but I'm assuming with Soso here as well you want to finish the report?
They nodded
Issei: well she told me that they did this to get back at me for not helping them get girlfriends and they wanted to rape her to do so they drugged her to the point where she could be fully awake but had no strength to try and fight back
Principle: and did they do anything to her or did you make It just in time?
Issei: just in time, knowing those two sadly they probably got into an argument about who gets to go first I got there just in time but she's fine which is why I'm letting her rest to sleep off the drugs
Principle: thank you, if you don't mind tomorrow the police want both your and her statements about the situation and I told them that I'll bring the two of you to the station for the reports
Issei: cool I have no issues, what happened to the other two?
Principle: well you did crack motohammas ribs and skull and broke his jaw and Matsuda his jaw is shattered and he has some torn ligaments in his neck, I'll say I didn't expect you to be that strong Mr. Lucifuge
Issei: she lives with my family along with Rias I made a promise to their families to protect them and Intended to do so no matter what
Principle: I see, I must thank you in the many years of this school's life we did fear that this would happen but we were case free and now we have one I want to thank you before it got worse than what it did
Issei: it's no problem at all I'll do it again if I have too
The principal smiled and bowed and left leaving sona and Rias with him
Sona: on the other side of things
Issei: her magic really has been weakened it's why we didn't sense her
Rias: thank you issei
Sona: the teachers have given you and Rias clearance to leave school due to the fact multiple people said you two are the closest to her and my knowledge of your relationship with her
Issei: cool im sure If things go well when she wakes up in a few then I'll take her home it really does look like they injected her with a lot I mean look at this
He showed the side of her chest and saw multiple spots where the injections were done.
Sona: so be it let me know how she is afterwards.
Rias: sure thing
Sona bowed and left the room.
Issei: how are you doing your queen nearly got hurt a lot today.
Rias didn't say anything, but the tears started forming in her eyes she fell to her knees and and cried while holding akenos hand
Issei started to read the emotions in her heart
Rias: im sorry im not strong enough to protect you like im meant to, it's my fault Issei isn't with us it's my fault screw up that made us lose him and now I nearly lost you too, im sorry I didn't realize it sooner please forgive me it's my fault you were put in the situation like this
Issei pulled her off the floor and brought her into a hug next to him
Issei: this isn't your fault nobody's perfect, you've been putting a lot of pressure on yourself and things went wrong, we can't always control how things go but we can always make the best of it now relax alright be happy she's alright for the most part
She nodded and rested her head on his shoulder trying to get control of herself and calm down
After a few minutes she calmed down and stayed in isseis embrace she looked at his chest and saw the bite marks she started gently tracing them with her finger remembering how badly he was hurt that day
Rias: issei how come you still have these scars I thought we removed them.
Issei: they never really left they have always been there you just haven't seen me shirtless in a while
Rias: oh...
Issei: what's on your mind I know I can read minds and all but I want you to say it
Rias: I'm sorry
Issei: sorry for what?
Rias: I'm sorry for the fallen angle that killed you and then you nearly getting killed again all of it I knew they were around and I didn't deal with it the way it meant to by driving them out of the town like I was meant to, I wasn't a good master to you either and you struggled through everything and then we all turned on you and pinned you for the issues that I got angry for, the first night after you left I remembered that I told you to call me president or master and I still got angry because you did as I told you and forgot and we had a fight because you wouldn't call me by name, I also didn't realize that that you were still all so new to everything that it also probably put stress on you as well with not being a high class and still being engaged to me and with my mother doing as she did by making you take the role as my husband before anything was finalized
Issei: it's okay I forgive you
She looked at him shocked and confused by it all, but she just hugged him and shed a few tears
Issei: (chuckles) Hey don't get all emotional again you just composed yourself
Rias: (tearing) You just don't know how happy hearing you say that made me feel I'm so happy you don't hate me or us anymore
Issei: sure, I was angry, but I didn't hate you guys you forget you don't stop loving someone it's a habit for a little then it becomes an emotion that won't change
Rias: I love you, I was an idiot for taking my anger out on you and not talking about it like with you in private
Issei: I love you too but you all still have proving to do before anything happens like I told akeno things aren't just going to go back to the way they were things changed and we all need to be aware of the changes that happened
Rias: I know and I've been looking into your music and I've started listening to some other bands that your mom remembers that you liked
Issei: and I'm glad you guys are all putting in the effort but come on let go and get her cleaned up
Rias nodded and then she pulled out a blanket and covered her with blanket issei carried her to his car and then he let Rias in and they drove off, after talking to Issei the principal informed the rest of the school of the situation and that akeno is alright and issei got to them just in time
In the car
Rias: wow this car is so nice
Issei: I know I think this is the first time either of you have been inside it
Rias: yes it's true, but I can see both Irina and Ravel sitting in this car their hair ties are everywhere
They both started chuckling and Issei drove to the house they took akeno to the bath she slept soundly in the car
They took her upstairs and he ran a bath while Rias got clothes ready for akeno he dropped her into the bath and Rias washed her while he went to go and make some food for everyone when they got home after they gave her a bath they brought her to the living room and covered her with a blanket issei finished cooking something quick for him and rias to eat he made some for akeno in case she was hungry when she woke up
He brought the food for Rias and she was amazed by it, the bowl had some beef noodles with both pork and beef pieces
Rias: wow when did you learn how to cook like this
Issei: back when I thought I was going to die I decided to do some cooking and read a few cook books and surprise surprise I'm actually good at cooking too
Rias: hmmm I can't believe it this looks amazing
She took a bite and he could see the excitement on her face when she took a bite
Issei: heh it's not that special really everyone needs to know how to cook so I'm only doing the best I can right now
Rias: issei this is really good food, I think if your music didn't work out you would make a really amazing chef
Issei: (smiling) Aww your too kind
???: mmm, mmm
They looked at akeno and saw her looking uncomfortable and pulling a face in her sleep
Issei got up and sat next to her and moved her to his side while he sat across the couch and she got comfy again
Issei: I think it's a comfort thing I don't mind for today.
Rias: hmmm even in her sleep she's still fighting for your affection
Issei: Hehe it's weird being wanted
Rias: (confused) What do you mean
Issei: A little over a year ago I was in the worst state my parents never saw it but my depression hit hard and things were miserable for me I really thought I would never be loved or even wanted like this if I told my past self about this he would have his world blown away
Rias: well, even so, you are very handsome better looking than your dad by far
Issei: really?
Rias: (looking away) Yeah, yea you are very handsome
Issei: so if I wasn't a pervert and had a decent reputation you think maybe we had a shot
Rias: (blushing) Maybe I don't know
Issei: hehe cool
Rias: issei with all these changes are you really happy?
He looked at her and then back down at akeno
Issei: I think so, I think I needed the wake-up call more than even I realize, since that day my life became something that could only be written in books or dramas and im happy
Rias: im glad
The rest of the day Issei and Rias made some small talk while akeno slept off the drugs Between Rias and Issei it started to feel like the spark between them started to become ignited
By the end of the day, the rest of the girls came back to find them in the living room
Irna: hey we here how is she?
They all came toward Issei and found her sleeping beside him while he and Rias were watching tv
Issei: yea she's alright she's been asleep for the day sleeping it all off, she should be okay nothing happened to her I was in time
Rossweisse: oh that's good
She came to give him a kiss and Irina did the same
They all put their things down and sat around the TV area
Koneko: (slight blush) um issei
Issei: hmm
Koneko: (blushing) Can I sit on your lap, please?
He looked at how he was lying on the couch with akeno by his side he adjusted akeno gently and made a place for her
Issei: come on
She came closer and gently got on his lap to not disturb akeno and she started purring, he rubbed her head and she smiled she then layed down with him
Issei: so how was school after this morning's incident?
Xenovia: well after you beat down those two and they were taken to the hospital, the guys of the school started a group to watch each other to make sure that it doesn't happen again
Asia: hmmm everyone is praising you as well saying even though you were angry you handled it pretty well
Issei: I had to imagine I went full dragon on them
Ravel: you would have killed them
Issei: I'm going to kill them, back when it was just me and them they had some fucked up fantasias I just didn't think they would go that far
Rias: what were they like
Issei: some of it involved what they did today and the rest of it involved a horse and that's all im saying that's not really my cup of tea.
They all shook off a shiver and looked at each other after realizing what he was talking about
Issei: anyways the drugs should hopefully wear off sooner or later they injected her a lot it's why we couldn't even pick up on her magic it's the sheer amount would have killed a human but it just made her super weak
He was stoking her back and they saw her smile he felt her get more comfy around him and he let her
Irina: looks like she really comfy and happy
Rias: well to be fair most of us want to be in that spot
Rossweisse: who am I kidding it's the best spot
Koneko: so what happens now
Issei: well there is an event coming up then after that it's the tour and finals Then Rias and akeno go to university and we go up a grade
Asia: time really flies don't you think?
Issei: it sure does
