At Ichigo and His Peerage's House

"So, let me get this straight you want me to train Issei?" Ichigo asked Rias who was sitting across from him with Akeno next to her.

"Yes, I heard from my brother you could help Issei with his boosted gear, something about you being able to connec to your zanpakuto or something." Rias said as she shrugged her shoulders not knowing what a zanpakuto was but figured it was like a sacred gear.

"I'm not much of a teacher but I can give it a try as long as he doesn't do anything perverted to my peerage we should be fine." Ichigo said earnestly as he looked Rias in the eyes to show his determination to her causing her to smile.

"I'll be sure to tell Issei and thank you for this, I owe you one." Rias said with a smile as she got up and walked to Ichigo to shake his hand which he did.

A Hour Later

There was a knock on the front door of the house Moka opened it and saw Issei then promptly slammed the door in his face before he could say something.

"Ichigo the perv is out side!"Moka shouted as Ichigo came to the front door as Moka left not at all pleased with having the pervert near her.

"Thanks Moka." Ichigo said as he passed by Moka and went to the door which was starting to get pounded on by Issei.

Ichigo opened the door and caught Issei's hand before it could hit him in the face, he let go as Issei rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Hey Issei, come in." Ichigo said with his typical scowl as he let Issei in the house walking towards the back of the house.

"So, ah, Ichigo how will you be training me?" Issei asked nervously as he followed Ichigo while glancing around the house trying his best to heed Rias's warning to not be a perv or else.

"You'll see but first let's take a seat outback." Ichigo said already figuring that if Issei's sacred gear was like a zanpakuto then he should teach Issei jinzen and go from there.

As Ichigo and Issei got to the back yard Issei saw a grill and a few tables, chairs, and umbrellas on concrete near the house and further out was perfectly cut grass.

Issei then noticed Ichigo going ro the grass and sitting crossed legged motioning for Issei to do the same across from him.

"So Issei what I'm going to teach you is a form of meditation." Ichigo said looking Issei in the eyes as they both sat on the ground.

After waiting a little bit Issei realized Ichigo was wanting in answer in which he nodded and said, "Okay."

"First summon your sacred gear like so." Ichigo said as he summoned Zangetsu surprising Issei.

"You have a sacred gear?!" Issei shouted in surprise as he summoned his sacred gear.

"No, this is Zangetsu my zanpakuto." Ichigo stated as he blandly stared at Issei who looked at Ichigo confusedly.

"Hah, it's like a sacred gear, ok." Ichigo said wanting to get this over with.

This got a nod from Issei who smiled only to then looked confused as Ichigo sat with his sword on his lap.

"Okay, the next step is to close your eyes and relax your muscles." Ichigo said as he did just that as Issei watched then took a deep breath before trying it himself.

"Now clear your mind of any thoughts." Ichigo instructed.

Issei tried to clear his mind but couldn't help but think of breasts as a perverted smile crept on his face.

That was when he felt a fist slam into his skull knocking whatever thoughts he had to slip away.

"Oof, what the hell was that for!" Issei screamed as he looked at Ichigo who had his fist outstretched showing he was the one who hit Issei.

"I said clear your mind not think of something perverted." Ichigo said as his scowl deepened ar the pervert in front of him.

Issei rubbed the back of his head and said, "Sorry, force of habit."

This caused Ichigo to sigh and said, "Don't let it happen again." but of course Issei couldn't control his own perverted mind.

Half an Hour Later

"Well this could have gone better." Ichigo thought as Issei was laid out cold with several bumps on his head.

"Hah, better get the water." Ichigo thought as he went to get some water to splash on Issei.

In Issei's Head

Issei woke up surrounded by fire in a pitch black void, Issei looked around himself and wondered where he was.

"So you finally came haven't you pervert." a mysterious voice said confusing Issei as he looked around looking to see who spoke to him only to see a giant red dragon.

"Wha-what the hell?!" Issei screamed in surprise as he stared up at the dragon.

"Silence, we don't have enough time so let me tell you who I am, I am Ddraig one of the heavenly dragons or the Welch dragon and I'm your sacred gear." Ddraig said as he looked Issei in the eyes.

Before Issei could ask any questions ge was woken up by a splash of cold water.

Back in Reality

Issei jolted upwards in shock as he was soaked from head to toe with ice cold water.

"You're up I see." Ichigo said holding an empty bucket with water droplets in it.

"What the hell man!" Issei ahouted irritably as he sat in n the grass, not too mention annoyed about being interrupted from asking the dragon that said it was hissacred gear a question.

"When I got back here with the water tou were mumbling in your sleep, want to elaborate." Ichigo asked Issei with narrowed eyes full of suspicion.

Issei's eyes widened and said, "I had a strange dream thats all." as he scratched his cheek in nervousness not wanting to be thought of as weird.

"Issei, just tell me about the dream or I'll beat it out of you." Ichigo said irritated at Issei for not answering his question.

One Explanation Later

"I see, so you were able to meet the spirit in your sacred gear." Ichigo thought as he planned for the next step.

"Wait, are you telling me that my sacred gear has a spirit of a dragon in it? Kick fucking ass!" Issei shouted as he looked at his sacred gear in awe.

"Yes and now that you made contact with the spirit of your sacred gear we move on to the next step." Ichigo said as he resummoned Zangetsu.

"And what would that be?" Issei asked while still staring at his sacred gear.

"Improving your aptitude in combat." Ichigo said annoyed at being ignored.

"How are we going to do tha-" Issei was cut off as Ichigo swung Zangetsu downward at Issei who dodged.

"Are you trying to kill me!" Issei shouted as he pointed at Zangetsu that was right where he was at.

"That's the point." Ichigo grunted as he swung Zangetsu towards the left side of Issei's stomach.

Issei dodged and ran at Ichigo and tried to punch him with his sacred gear only for Ichigo to block the red gauntlet with the flat of his blade with no effort.

"Issei, your sacred gear is not a tool, it's alive like you or me." Ichigo said as he held Issei's attacks back the flat of Zangetsus blade with ease frustrating Issei to no end.

"What, the hell, is, that, supposed to mean!" Issei shouted through each baited breath he took.

"It means you are not alone when you fight, you have a partner willing to help you, and that partner is your sacred gear!" Ichigo shouted as he kicked Issei to the ground.

Issei got back up slowly and looked at the red gauntlet, closed his eyes, and looked back down at on his left arm and said, "My partner huh, well then how about a helping hand, what do you say partner?" as Issei clenched his left hand.

That was when the emerald on the red gauntlet glowed and Ddraigs voice came from it laughing, "Hahahahaha, well then partner if you really want my help then I'll lend you a portion of my power."

Then Issei sacred gear broke revealing a smoother, pointier, red gauntlet.

Ichigo could feel the power increase coming from Issei but stayed quiet to not distract him.

Issei clenched his left fist and said, "Get ready cause I'm going to kick your ass Ichigo!"

Ichigo smirked at this and said, "Bring it on Issei."

That was when Medaka landed in front of the two and said, "Lunch is ready, and Rias is here to get Issei." Medaka said unfolding a fan as she smirked like ahe accomplished something important.

"It's that time already huh, well Issei you heard Medaka, let's go." Ichigo said as he dismissed Zangetsu and started to walk into the house with Medaka.

"Eh, um, okay." Issei said stupefied by being interrupted before he got to check out how much more badass he has gotten.

At the Entrance of the House

As Ichigo, Medaka, and Issei made there way to the entrance of the house Rias was talking with Esdeath as Akeno stood beside Rias.

"Rias, do you think I can stay at your club room during school hours starting tomorrow?" Esdeath asked Rias as she had a serious look on her face.

"Thats okay, I guess, but can I ask why?" Rias asked curiously as she wondered why Esdeath seemed so serious.

"I want to be closer to my beloved Ichigo and I'm usually stuck here all by myself, so I thought it would be good to get out a little." Esdeath said as she gave a alight smile.

That was when Ichigo, Medaka, and Issei entered the entrance of the house causing Rias to look at Issei and smile, sensing his increase in magical power.

"Well Issei it seems you've gotten stronger by a fair amount." Akeno said beating Rias in complementing Issei for his hard work.

Rias gave a slight glare at Akeno before smiling back at Issei aaying, "Yes your magical power feels twice as strong as before."

"Really?" Issei asked surprised as Rias confirmed his suspicion.

Issei had a triumphant smile on his face before realizing something and asked, "But wasn't my magic so weak I couldn't teleport?"

"Yep that's right, and it still is." Akeno answered as she laughed as Issei's head and shoulders lost all tension in them and hung down at his sides in defeat.

"Well, It's still a great improvement Issei, and thank you Ichigo for helping training in his boosted gear." Rias said as she gave a slight bow.

"Not a problem, anyway I'll see you guys at school tomorrow." Ichigo said as he held up a hand to show that he didn't really care.

"Yes, we will see you and peerage at school tomorrow farewell." Rias said as she and Akeno and Issei turned around and left.

"Well how about some lunch Ichigo we have chicken, beef, or you can have me." Esdeath said as she wrapped her arms around Ichigo pushing here breasts up against him.

"E-esdeath wait a minute I'm hungry and, um, I still have homework so, ah, not today! Ichigo said blushing as he squeezed out of Esseaths grip and ran into thw kitchen shortly followed by Easeath.

Medaka stood at the entrance and thought "Ichigo said trouble always finds him, but I hope we can live in peace for awhile till an event like Risers happens again." as she made her way to the kitchen getting hungry herself.

Unfortunately the next major event to happen to Ichigo and his peerages life would happen in 4 days from now.
