After the Rating game Issei and Sairaorg were in a hospital room recovering from their injuries. "I don't remember what happened towards the end of the fight but I know one thing, I lost." Spoke Sairaorg.
"Yeah but it was a great fight. My jaw is still aching from the first punch."
"Well then how can I face my family after this loss." Said Sairaorg.
"Well son you don't have to worry about that, I spoke with your father and he says he's proud to have a strong son like you." Spoke Sairaorg's mother as she entered the room.
"Mother, what are you doing here? You need to rest, you're still recovering." Spoke to a worried Sairaorg.
"Oh Sairaorg don't be over dramatic I'm fine you are the one who needs to rest you just fought. But yes your father says he's ashamed of trying to hide you and is proud you are his heir, the true Lion King." Explain the proud mother.
"Hello, am I interrupting?" Said a new person entering the room.
"Oh Lord Lucifer." Bowed the woman
Issei and Sairaorg were able to get up. "There's no need to get up, I'm here to speak with Issei." Said the man.
"I'll be stepping out now." Said the woman in the room as she bowed once more and walked out.
"Well Issei the higher ups and I have been thinking, you have shown a lot of promise lately so we have come to the decision it's time for you to rank up to a mid-class devil. You have been fulfilling the most contracts out of any reincarnated devil and your current battle has shown your strength."
Issei didn't respond; he was speechless. "Well well good for you Issei this is the first step for you, I believe you will become a mighty hero of the underworld." Spoke Sairaorg.
"Haha that may be so, well I'll let both of you rest and I think it's time I head out." Said Lucifer as he walked out of the room.
"A promotion is good but I was thinking, are you going to go through with it, as you practically proposed when we were fighting?" Said Sairaorg.
"Yes I am, wait that reminds me there's somewhere I have to be." Said Issei as he stood from the bed.
"Hey where are you going, don't you have to rest more!?" Asked a surprise Sairaorg
"No, I'm fine, I'm a dragon, I heal quickly." Smirked Issei
"Well at least tell me where you're going?"
"To the Sitri there is a chest game I have to win." Said Issei as he stepped out.
Sairaorg smiled, laying on his bed sure Issei was one of the greatest things to have come to the underworld and he had to thank his cousin for it.
Issei ran out of the room and down the hall, he was in the Sitri domain hospital so he wasn't far from the Main house. As he ran past the room holding his friends they called out to him. "ISSEI WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" asked Rias.
"I need to go to Sona." Said Issei as he jumped out the open window at the end of the hall, surprising a few nurses walking through the halls.
On his flight Issei sent a message on his phone, "Kiba, get the girls to me and Sona as soon as you can."
Kiba understood the message and did as his friend asked. "Everyone, we have to go quickly. Issei has something important for you all."
Issei landed Infront of the Sitri house seeing a line of men lined up Infront of a desk. At the desk sat Serafall Leviathan, from the distance he heard her speaking. "No, you're not worth my Sotan."
After a lot of men were rejected from the house and a few reluctantly let through, Issei finally reached the front of the line. "Hey Livaitan, what's happening here?" Asked Issei.
"Oh Issei yay you're here, these are suiters they've come to challenge Sona." Grumbled Serafall towards the end.
Issei's eyes narrowed as a man walked out, his head down and left. "Well then I guess I don't have a choice but to win today." Said Issei to the Satan.
Serafalls eyes widened as she quickly stood. "Everyone out we won't be accepting any more challenges now or ever!" Yelled the Leviathan as she grabbed Issei by the wrist and began to lead the teen inside.
"SONA! I have found the perfect man for you to marry." Yelled the magical girl.
At her declaration the servants of the house stepped out to see who Serafall spoke of seeing the large figure of the dragon they just watched fight on their screens. Issei was led to a room as the doors opened at a desk sat a frowning Sona beside her were two people, a woman who resembled an older Serafall in a business suit and a tall thin man in a coat. "Mom, Dad I've brought the final challenger!" Said the Leviathan.
The Sitri matriarchs, already used to their daughters' antiques, just sighed expecting their eldest daughter to try and challenge Sona again; however , what they did not expect was the figure of the famous dragon to enter the room. As Issei stepped in and took a seat at the desk he smiled. Sona couldn't help but smile as well at the sight of her pawn and boyfriend sitting across from her for an office challenge.
Lord and Lady Sitri seeing the look on their daughters face had come to an agreement, no matter the outcome of the match they will allow Issei to marry their daughter. "So your Issei Hyoudo, the boy who took three pawns from my daughter and four from Rias to be reincarnated , is correct." Spoke the head of the Sitri.
"That's Correct sir. I am Issei Hyoudo, I have come today to challenge your daughter for her hand in marriage." Said Issei in a calm dignified manner not straying his eyes from the man he spoke to.
"Very well then begin." Said the man.
As the chess pieces were being set a man entered the room and spoke to Lord Sitri. "Hmm alright let them in." Said the man to the maid who walked out of the room.
"While Issei and Sona focused on eachother and the game, their friends and family had entered the room to spectate the match."
As the match went on they both had slowly chipped away at the other piece with Issei remaining with a pawn and rook. While Sona only had a bishop and knight. From then on the game was a simple back and forth of avoiding and countering the advance of the other. Seeing that the match was going nowhere, Lord Sitri spoke. "I believe that Is all we need, this game is a draw."
Everyone stopped and looked at the man. "Now I have made my decision." Said the man sternly and paused with an intense stare.
Everyone was silent and the tension in the room began to build up. Everyone felt as if they were sufficiently expecting the worst, so though Lord Sitri didn't want his daughter to date the dragon with Sona herself fearing that outcome.
"I can not accept this outcome." Said the man sending more dread into those present.
"My daughter has not lost yet." At this point Sonas heart was beating out of her chest as she lowered her head believing her father wouldn't accept.
"However." Sonas head rose and stared at her father.
"You may marry my daughter." Declared Lord Sitri, Issei's eyes widened and suddenly he was tackled out of his chair by Sona.
She clutched onto Issei's shirt as tears ran down her face. Issei stood facing the majority of his girlfriends present and he called them all over. "I know thing have been different for us lately and I just have something to say to all of you." Said Issei as he lowered himself on one knee.
"I don't have the proper rings at the moment but I have something that will do just the same." Spoke Issei as he planted a kiss onto Reynares finger first before following with every other girl.
"Will you marry me?" Said Issei as he smiled up at the girls.
Every girl gave their own replies of nodes and Yeses, as each girl accepted on their body each appeared a small black dragon marking them as Isseis. "This is a dragon's mate mark, Ddraig told me about it, we may not be married in the traditional sense but we are by dragon standards." Said Issei as he received hugs from the girls.
Issei and his now new fiance walked to their school like any other day. "Man I know I gave you guys the mark but now I kinda want to get myself a dragon Tattoo." Said Issei.
"Well the marks are not visible unless we want them to be though, so why do you want a tattoo." asked Xenovia
"It just seems cool." Smiled Issei as he looked to his chest where his son was strapped to him.
"Don't you think so buddy, how about Pappa get a cool Tattoo." He said as he tickled his son's chin.
"No, not acceptable, it's against the dress code to have tattoos." Said Sona.
"Oh come on are we really going to be talking about school rules, you don't say that when…" Issei was shut up by Sona who jumped on him and covered his mouth.
"Oh what's this about not following rules now." Grind Rias teasing her best friend.
"Let's just forget about this topic, no Tattoo for now." Said Sona.
As they arrived they were met with the Vali team and Kuroka who ran up to Issei. "Issei, I saw you fighting, you were amazing." Said the black haired cat girl.
She stopped for a moment and began to sniff around him. "Wait no, how can this be, I'm already left behind again." Said Kuroka as she dropped to her knees in tears.
"Why do you say you were left behind?" Asked Vali, seeing her friend on the floor.
"They all already had sex with Issei." She said pointing at the girls around Issei.
The other students froze in their tracks and turned to the two groups. "WHAT!" was the only thing heard through the school.
After a moment of everything calming down Kuroka stomped over to Issei and grabbed him by the collar. "Listen here I said I want kittens and I will get them." She said,
Issei only responded by holding her chin. "I'm sorry we left you out but you're right. I've been unfair again. I asked the girls without you being there but now let me ask you as well. "Kuroka, will you marry me?" He said, staring at the girl down into her eyes.
Kurokas eys widened and leaned in, giving Issei a kiss. As she did a black dragon appeared over her chest. And around them the rest of Issei's fiances congratulated her.
Behind them stood Vali clutching the sides of her pants, she felt like she wanted to say something but couldn't. Kuroka noticed and pulled Vali into the circle she was surrounded by. "Well Val come on, you can do it." Said Kuroka.
Vali couldn't speak, she just stood there fiddling her thumbs. "Oh come on you're willing to face a god with confidence but you can't even talk to a boy." Said Kuroka.
"God damn It, Issei, she likes you now, mark her." Said Kuroka pushing Vali forward.
"It this true Vali." Said Issei looking at the silver haired woman.
Vali didn't speak, she stood hiding her eyes and only nodded. "Alright then." Said Issei as he went to grab her hand.
"I can see you're not as bold as the others but I like that." He said as he planted a kiss on her hand.
Vali looked up and just stared at the boy. She was once more pushed forward and was pushed into the boy which ended with both in a kiss. Vali closed her eyes and accepted the peck on her side glowed the mark of Issei while on Issei's shoulder a mark began to form as well.
"Well then I think it's official." Spoke Azazel as he walked over to the group. According to Dragon tradition you're married. Said the man with a smile.
