A/N: Hello guys.

Now before we start this chapter I would like to explain a few things.

1)It's about Elsha.

Since like most of you pointed out. Yes, she is more powerful then Issei. But as the story goes on he would eventually get stronger than her. In LN issei is the strongest host of the Booster Gear. So all of you who said or thought about her being too strong for him, be patient he will be stronger then her.

2) About his mutated bishop piece. Though now that I think about it, I will change her piece to Rook, because I have someone new at Bishop's place that would fill it better. So from now on, she would be his future Rook. And don't forget that since he would save Rias at least couple of time he would gain favors from her brother which he could use to gain a mutated Rook (from this chapter onwards) as his payment.

3) Also to note The Evil Pieces can reincarnate the spirits of Sacred Gear if they manifest themselves.

Now that this is out of the way. Let's get started with this chapter.

I don't own High School DxD all right's goes to its creator.

Chapter 8 - Girls Talk

While Issei was busy with his training for the Rating game with Rias and her gang. The Kendo duo was also busy training in their swordplay and study in school.

Thought they would also from time to time talk about how they would train Issei in suppressing his pervert nature to a more tolerable level.

This pattern was going on for a few days as the girls waited for Issei's return. But that all change one day.

As the girls were walking towards their home from school, they were meet with a sight of a very familiar Auburn-haired girl that they meet at Issei's place.

Chelsea was on the bridge looking into the distance when she felt two people approaching her. Turning around she found the Kendo duo walking towards her. While one was looking at her in surprised the other was glaring at her which she had a good idea why she was acting that way which made her smirk.

Just seeing her made Murayama immediately glare at Auburn-hair girl. She still hated Chelsea for trying to steal her Issei from her. And seeing her here alone and with no one on the site made a perfect opportunity to get to bottom of this.

"Well, well, well what are you doing here Chelsea? Issei isn't here if you are looking for him." Murayama spoke first, her voice was cold and emotionless.

"I already know that my darling is on a training trip and that he will come back in a day or two. I talk to him before he left so I already know what's happening." Chelsea dismisses it with a wave of her hand.

"Y-you talk to him? When?" Katase asked in a shocked voice. She along with Murayama didn't expect that from the girl in front of them.

"Oh, that? Well, I think it was an on a day when he left for a training trip." Chelsea nonchalantly told them with a smirk as she saw Murayama going red with anger and jealousy.

"And why Issei didn't tell as that?" Murayama asked her as her eyebrows twitched.

"Hmm, maybe he didn't tell you because you are an annoying little girl." Chelsea said with her smirk widening as she saw Murayama's face being even redder as she grabbed her kendo sword and took up her battle stance.

"Hahaha...you really think you can beat me? Even Issei will need at least 4-5 boost to get to my level of power. What makes you think that you have a chance?" Chelsea laughed at seeing her attempt to intimidate her.

Murayama was now beyond pissed. She was really close to attacking the girl in front of her and chopping her head off.

"Maybe I'm not stronger than you little flat chest girly. But I can still at least chop your limbs you piece of shit. Oh, now I remembered your strength is in stealth but in one on one you are weakling" Murayama mocked her, and from the look on Chelsea's face her little jab worked as Chelsea faced her fully getting into her own stance.

"You will pay for that insult you slut." Chelsea told her in a low cold tone that sends shivers down the duos spine.

At that moment Katase decided to intervene so there won't be any blood lost or limbs lost in the battle that would happen soon.

"Wait, don't fight each other. Think about what Issei would say about you two fighting!" Katase shouted as she runs and stood in between the two with her hands stretch towards them to keep them away from each other.

That did the trick as both of them a few times before they went red at the thought of Issei scolding them for being so immature and stupid.

"What do you both say, that we go somewhere we can talk this out? Without killing each other in the process?" Katase asked in a calm voice at seeing the two girls still red from anger and embarrassed. The duo just nodded and they followed the pink hair girl as she started walking toward the nearby Cafe in total silence.

As they were sat in the Cafe with their drinks on the table Katase decided to begin the conversation and break the awkward silence that followed them from the bridge accident.

"So...What are you doing here Chelsea?" Katase finally said in a soft voice.

Chelsea hummed for a moment before sighing sadly and answering her in a tender voice. "Hmm...Honestly, I don't want to be anywhere near my faction since their goals have become messed up so much that sickens me. I would love to stay here near Issei than be there with my faction."

"What happened to them to change their goals?" This time Murayama asked. Her previous aggression disappeared as she looked into Chelsea's sad face.

Chelsea sigh again. "What happened is not important, what is, is what I would do from now on. Since I'm pretty sure that they won't give me up that easy and Issei since he is a Red Dragon Emperor."

"Eh?" Both Katase and Murayama ask in surprise.

"What I mean by that is, if they can't have us alive then they are going to try and kill us. Now let's say they can't get to us, they will target you two and his parents to get to us." Chelsea elaborated making the two Kendo girls turn white.

"W-why would they do that?" Katase questioned fearing for her life now.

"That's simple. Because the power that Issei has is very sought after. It has a potential to kill God and Maou in the right hands." Chelsea answered in a tired voice clearly not really wanting to talk about it.

Seeing that they wanted to say something to her, she raised her hand to stop them. "I will tell you about them at a later date I promise."

When both girls nodded, she smiled gratefully at them before it turned into a mischief one.

She shot a teasing grin towards the brunette and pink hair girls which made them uneasy. "Though I'm interested. I know that both of you hate perverts, so how is it possible for both of you to have feelings towards one of the biggest perverts in the school?" Chelsea asked loving the fact that she now had a full reign to tease the girls without Issei here to stop her.

That question made both Katase and Murayama turn as red as Issei's gauntlet.

"W-what are you talking about?" Murayama stuttered a little her face becoming redder even more.

"Y-yeah we don't have feelings for him." Katase spoke with a cough into her fist, but her face was changing to the color of her hair, making Chelsea think that if it goes even a little bit more she would have to think that her face was covered by her pink hair.

"Yeah right, I saw how Murayama acted the first time we meet and then at the bridge. So you can spare me with that bull shit. Now do tell, I love a good romantic story." Chelsea spoke as she leaned forward to better listen to what the two girls had to say.

The two girls looked at each other for a moment conversing mentally on how to go about this before they nodded and turn to still leaning forward Chelsea.

"Fine we will tell you, but if you tell anyone else and especially Issei about this I'm really going to chop your head off." Murayama told her in a low voice that promised pain.

"You have my word on that girlfriend. My lips are sealed." Chelsea spoke as she made a motion to show that her lips are sealed.

"Uhh...where to begin?" Murayama mumbled before she snapped her fingers "Ahh...yes that could work. Fine Chelsea here is how it began for me."

(Flashback)

A 13-year-old Murayama was walking down the halls of the Kuoh Middle School going to her first class of the year. As she was about to enter her classroom she heard a male shout in the background which prompted her to turn around and see who shouted. The moment she turned around was the moment that the boy collided with her sending both of them on the floor.

*CRASH*

As they found themselves on the floor, Murayama looked up to see who was her assailant only for her to blush at seeing a brunette boy her age on top of her his face buried into her still developing chest.

She blushed, even more, when he groaned into her chest as he slowly started lifting his head to show her who he was.

As he lifted his face Murayama's heart stopped for a moment as she saw him. His short light brown hair, light brown eyes, good looks and above average body. All of that was making her face even redder. It was like a dream come true for her. He looked perfect in her eyes.

"Uh.. sorry about that. I was late for class so I sprinted towards it and couldn't stop in time" He apologized as he stood up and gave her a hand to help her up.

"N-no, no it's fine...I wasn't quick enough to move away." Murayama told him shyly as her face was still red.

"Sweet. Thought what's your name? From the looks of things we are in the same class." The brown hair boy exclaimed as he saw that both him and the brown hair girl where going to the same classroom.

Murayama was in heaven when she heard that both of them were in the same class. She wondered if he was single since she wouldn't mind being with him.

M-my name is Murayama Yamazaki. A-and yours?" She shyly answered his question before asking for his name.

The brown boy smiled softly at her making her knees a little weak at his charming smile that took her breath away.

"My name is Issei Hyoudou, it's nice to meet you, Murayama." He politely said as he bowed a little.

"N-nice to meet you to Issei Hyoudou." She replied with a little bow of her own.

But before anyone of them could say anything more the bell was heard prompting the duo to enter the class.

From that encounter with him, Murayama was starting to fall for Issei and from that day she would slowly start to love him.

As the time in Middle School past away, Murayama started to notice that Issei was turning to be a big pervert that was more into woman body than anything else day-by-day, but he still kept being polite and helpful to everyone in need.

He was also gentle towards her and tried everything to make her not hate in her opinion it was impossible for her to hate him even when he started peeping at her. She was flattered that he did it and even when she catches him and beats him up she did it with absolute minimum strength.

Murayama didn't mind very much that Issei peeped if it was her. Sure she hated when other perverts peep on her, but if the one that took her heart did it she was fine.

While Murayama didn't mind him being a pervert, the bad reputation he has gotten was something she didn't like that much. So slowly she started to ignore him in the hopes that he will understand that he needed to change his ways.

But unfortunately for her, her crush begun to become even worst. Which left her almost emotionally destroyed.

'What happened to you Issei? What made you become this way?' Murayama sadly thought as she was slowly destroying herself from inside out.

She did have filling for Issei but didn't have the courage to tell him, and she thought that cost her Issei's perverted site to show up.

So when she met Katase Saito she was relieved that she was almost the same as her. She also hated perverts and while Murayama still wouldn't hit Issei hard Katase had no such restraint as she hit him as hard as she can.

(Flashback End)

As Murayama told them both about her past with Issei she was almost in tears at seeing the one she loves in such state and she knew that if she confronted him and told him about it maybe she could have stopped it.

"And that's what happened between us. Yes, he was a pervert even back then, but anything I asked him to do he would have done it without a second guess." Murayama told them with watery eyes.

"Wow, I knew that he was a nice person but that he would do anything for you." Chelsea spoke a little shock at the revelation.

"Yeah, he really was nice to me. And I still think that if I asked him for anything he will do it for me, but after what he told us..." Murayama wanted to say it but couldn't so Katase finished her sentence.

"About what happened at his last date made him fragile and." Katase finished it in a sad tone.

"W-what happened on his last date?" Chelsea asked dreading the answer that she might get.

"I-Ise w-was murdered by R-Raynare, the girl that is now Rias Bishop." Murayama answered not having any restraint as she started to sob with her tears freely flowing down her cheeks.

"H-he was what?" Chelsea asked in pure shock as her face went white.

"You didn't know about that?" Katase questioned in surprise.

"N-no I didn't know that since I arrived about a month and a half ago. And form what I managed to gather he was a Devil for two months so I didn't know. If I did I would have killed that fallen bitch." Chelsea told the both of them while her fist went white with rage.

"Yeah, that what we learned from him, and I know he is afraid of us not so much from beating he got from us, but from Raynare who used his good side." Katase sadly spoke as she also knew that even thought Issei was a colossal pervert, that after talking with Murayama about him and seeing for herself that he still respected and cared does that were close to him made her change her opinion of him.

Though she would never tell him that out loud she was starting to see past his perverted nature and dedication action toward those he treasure was something that she admired.

After that, all three girls went silent thinking about their love interest. And little did they know they were all attracted toward him by his kindness and his honesty. What all three didn't know it was also his dragon aura that made them go to him. They were attracted towards him like flies towards the light.

As they were all in their little world, all of them begin to remember their moment's with him where they found it cute and funny.

(Katase Flashback)

"Get back here you pervert's." Katase along with Murayama yelled as she and members of Kendo club where giving chase to three boys who were running for their lives.

"Hell no..." The bald boy answered as he was in front of his group.

"Come on Matsuda...we can't outrun them...Katase...and Murayama...will catch us..." The boy with glasses told Matsuda as he was starting to lose his breath and slightly slow down.

"Come on guys we need to get on Motohama I got you." The brown haired boy said as he took his friend by the arm and started to pull him to go faster.

"Yeah, Issei is right, we need to hurry, let's make a distraction." Matsuda said with an evil glint in his eyes that did get unseen by Issei but didn't go unseen by Motohama who also had an evil glint in his eyes.

"Matsuda is right." Motohama said as he forcefully stopped making Issei fall on his back as Motohama sprinted away. "Sorry man, but you have to take on for the team."

When Issei finally stood up he found himself surrounded by the Kendo club. But before he could get beaten to shit, two voices intervened.

"You girls, go and get the other two." Murayama spoke as she pointed her shinai towards Issei who gulped.

"We will take care of him." Katase said as she followed Murayama's suit and pointed her shinai at Issei.

"Yes, Captains." The girls answered before running of to give the other two boys their punishment.

Whit the girls gone the duo captains turn their attention towards the brunette who paled at seeing them getting closer to him.

"Now Issei I promise you that this isn't going to hurt us at all… you, on the other hand will hurt… a lot." Katase stated before both girls started to beat Issei.

(Flashback End)

Katase giggled a little bit before she remembered and flinch a little because that was the time when Murayama also beat her down when she hit Issei in the family treasure.

That was the first time that Murayama took her anger and frustration on her instead on the perverts. And Katase made wove to never temper Murayama in fear of what she would do to her if she hurt Issei that way.

That thought brought her out of her daydreaming as she remembered that there was also one more person with them, and from all affection that person gave Issei it was clear to her that she also had feelings for him.

"Chelsea, you also have feelings for Ise?" Katase suddenly asked making both Murayama and Chelsea blink from a sudden question.

"W-what are you talking about?" Chelsea nervously asked as she stole a quick glance towards Murayama who narrowed her eyes at her making Chelsea gulp.

"I asked, do you have any fi..." Katase began to repeat her question before Chelsea stopped her.

"I-I heard you the first time." She quickly said before for taking a deep breath.

"Yeah, I do have feelings for him." Chelsea confessed as she saw Murayama and Katase's fist go white.

"So you do have." Murayama asked her tone low.

"Yes, I do have feelings for him, but I started to have them towards him a little before we all started interacting."

Hearing the silence from the two Chelsea decided to continue.

"Well, it all started when I first saw him..." Chelsea told them as she started to tell them.

(Flashback)

"Aww come on, where am I going to find the Red Dragon Emperor?" Chelsea muttered as she was making her way throw the streets of Kuoh.

It was as luck would have it that Issei was running toward the abandoned church with Kiba and Koneko.

Chelsea couldn't believe her moment she was whining about were to found the Emperor only for him tu run past her with two others.

'Well, that was easy. Thought why are they running towards the church?' Chelsea thought as she was wondering why they would go there.

Deciding to follow them she caught the site of two more devils fighting three Fallen Angels.

'Hmm...From the looks of things, it looks like devils launched a surprise attack on them. What are the fallen doing here in the Devils territory in the first place?' Chelsea asked herself that as she continued to watch the two devil girls fight the fallen.

It didn't take long for the devils to overpower the fallen as the red hair girls shot her magic completely obliterating the opponents she was facing.

"Akeno, let's go see how Issei did on his end." The Red hair girl told her companion as they started walking towards the back entrance of the church.

"Yes, President." Akeno answered as she followed her in.

Seeing this Chelsea masked her presence and activated her Sacred Gear and transformed into a crow and took off with them.

As they entered Chelsea felt strong dominated aura coming from somewhere, making her stop her pursuit of the devil girls.

'What's this powerful aura I'm sensing?' Chelsea thought as she thought whoever was there he had to be extremely powerful that even her Sacred Gear won't be able to help her.

That's when she heard a powerful Roar accompanied by the whole church shaking.

"I said is that UNDERSTOOOOOD?!"

'T-that aura...t-that's the Red Dragon Emperors...whoever pissed him off better hope that he doesn't enter Juggernaut Drive or we all are good as dead.' Chelsea was lost and afraid for her life. She heard how powerful Juggernaut Drive is and what it's capable and the thought alone made her go white.

Luckily the extremely powerful aura that flooded everywhere was slowly vanishing while Chelsea could still feel that after effect of it.

She felt herself getting dominated and for some strange feeling she liked it and wanted it even more. So she decided to wait until all the devils left so she could get a better look on the Emperor.

It didn't take long for the devils to leave, leaving only Issei in the church. When she made her way she saw him holding onto the blond hair girl whit tears in his eyes.

That was something that greatly surprised Chelsea. She learned and was told that the Dragon Emperors were cruel, battle-hungry and merciless without even a slight feeling of remorse or pity.

But seeing the great Red Dragon like this made her realized that what she learned and was told where very far from the truth.

That sparked her interest in him even more and she decided to figure out who he really was and what made him click.

(Flashback End)

"You could say that from that day forward, my interest in him increased a lot, even to the point that I don't know what to think." Chelsea told them, as the girls looked at her a little shock at what they heard about Issei and her little confession.

Silence settled between the three girls as all three of them where absorbing what the other two said.

"Wow, it takes a lot to piss Issei off that's for sure." Murayama voiced her thoughts to break the silence between them.

"Yeah, I mean we beat him down so many times and yet he didn't even snap once at us. Though truth be told, we didn't do anything that cruel to him as letting him die." Katase agreed with her brunette friend as she understood that it was extremely hard to make Issei angry.

Chelsea nodded her head also knowing that to be the truth. She intruded into his house and although he did show hostilities he didn't go and attack her on the spot because of that.

"Now though, do you girls have any ideas how to make Ise less perverted? He did ask us to help him after all." Katase voiced a valid question.

Chelsea hearing that got a teasing smirk on her face that got the attention of the other girls.

"Oh, I know a perfect way how to decrease his perverted nature."

"Please do tell, we are all ears." Katase said also starting to have a smirk on her face.

"Well..hehe...I think we should provoke him, and when we see that he starts to go into his pervert mode we punish him. And also give him some physical training also." Chelsea said with a smirk. She is going to enjoy sucking Ise's life dry.

Katase and Murayama looked at each other and nodded. It wasn't the best plan but it was better than nothing.

"Sure, you got yourself a deal. When Issei returns we are going to begin training him." Murayama told Chelsea who's smirk turn even bigger.

"And I know the perfect places to begin it. The swimming pool, that way we can enjoy ourselves and punish Ise at the same time." Katase said in mischief voice.

"Now that sound like a plan I would gladly follow. Plus to make it more interesting let's make a bikini competition between the three of us to see who is better in Issei's eyes." Chelsea added with a grin at seeing the other two girls turn red.

With their little plan for Issei all set. The girls change subject to some other things as they continued to get to know each other and become friends.

A/N: Hope you liked this little girl talk that hopefully explained a little why Murayama and Katase have a crush on Issei.

Next chapter it's time for the final showdown between the Dragon and Phoenix. Also with a little twis.
