A/N: I just want to say thank everyone who has supported me and enjoy reading this fanfic of mine. I'm going to try to at least post 35 chapters, before taking a break. I had fun writing Kuroko character~! Also, I might throw in a chapter that takes place in the future at one point. So keep a look out for that chapter~! ;)
Birth of Harem Queen Ise-chan
Sitting on the couch, watching yet another episode of Harem Queen Ise-chan, Kabu sat in Issei's lap, munching on some of her homemade cookies. She recently found out that Aster had been training with Xenos and Ivan in order to learn combat skills that would come in handy during the Rating Games and in actual combat. Richard and Akihiko were discussing business that was related to the Occult Research Club, while Rosswald was currently out. Doing what? Issei had no clue.
Raine was in the kitchen baking desserts for her to eat later as the blonde Oji-sama stated that he would only make desserts for her and no one else. Issei's attention was brought back to the show, seeing that the main character Isabella Gremory was once again about to face off against Yumi's character when out of nowhere a handsome red-haired prince appeared at her side, cooly throwing her a fancy stick of lipgloss.
"Ise-chan, you must hurry and transform into the Harem Queen!" said the Crimson Prince, a character who was based off of Richard. Catching the lipgloss in her hand, she applied it to her lips, and she was then gently grabbed around the waist by the Crimson Prince, who gave her a gentle kiss that triggered her transformation. Every time Issei saw this scene, she couldn't help but remember how this all started in the first place.
Flashback
The group was fighting in the forest, against a tall and extremely attractive man, whose looks could rival Akihiko's when it came to the long-haired bishounens' department, wearing a black kimono that showed off a black sleeveless turtleneck shirt underneath, fitted black pants, along with a pair of boots. This handsome man, who had cat features such as ears and a tail, and a seductive and cunning smile on his face, was none other than Kabu's older brother.
While fighting in the sky, against Tannin was the descendant of Sun Wukong as Kabu's older-brother, Kuroko, was determined to take back his younger brother, even if it was against the younger's wishes. Summoning her Boosted Gear, Issei sensed something was wrong and was informed by Ddraig what the problem was. "This is your result from training with Tannin, partner," said Ddraig.
"Huh?"
"You have to choose if you want a power-up or Balance Break. But you cannot reach Balance Breaker without a drastic catalyst. Whatever you choose, it is up to you." These were Ddraig's last words before leaving the decision up to Issei.
"Even if you tell me that, I still have no clue what to do!" exclaimed a frustrated Issei, earning smirk from Kuroko.
"Hmm, it seems the Red Dragon Empress is frustrated. Maa, it's shame I will have to kill you. You're sorta cute." Kuroko summoned his attack and was ready to aim it at Issei, who took the attack head on and winced at the pain that she received.
"Issei!" Richard worriedly called out to her, having a hard time standing due to the poison fog, yet at the same time gritted his teeth at being too helpless to aid the woman he cared for.
"D-Don't worry about me, President! I can handle it!" Issei reassured him, not wanting to show him her pain when Kuroko attacked her once again. Both Richard and Kabu were aware of how she was willing to hide her pain, just so she would not worry them.
"S-Senpai... Please run away, you can't defeat my brother. He's too powerful!" cried Kabu, not wanting her to suffer any more injuries.
"Oh, so this is the woman who caught Vali's interest. Not bad. Not a bad choice at all," grinned Kuroko. Unable to stand anymore, Issei's knees hit the ground, her beautiful dress was now a tattered, ruined mess, glaring her eyes at Kabu's older brother.
'Damn it! I can't go down like this. I haven't helped save anyone! I'm weak. I'm still so damn weak! Everyone praised me, but they're wrong. I let Aster die once. I couldn't stand by the President's side and make him sacrifice himself for me. It was only by luck that I was given a second chance, but if I couldn't save them the first time, then I'm one hell of a lousy heavenly dragon.' Issei felt frustrated by her weakness of not being able to save those precious of her.
"Even if you are Kabu's older brother, if he doesn't want to go with you than don't make him!" Using all the strength in her body, Issei forced herself to stand back on her feet.
"Maa, seeing such a fierce look in your eyes is making my heart race. How fearsome. How sexy~!" He playfully winked at her, despite the fierce glare of eyes that were aimed at him.
"Kabu-kun, sorry for being such a lousy senpai. I'm such a weak heavenly dragon. I have no talent, and I can't even protect anyone," Issei tearfully apologized, causing Richard to grit his teeth and Kabu to ball up his fists.
"That's not true! Senpai is an amazing person! Most Red Dragon Empresses are unable to handle its power and drown themselves in it. But senpai is different... Senpai's kindness is her grace and saving! Those who drown themselves in power possess no kindness in their heart and it only leads to a quick death. So even if you lack power... Your kindness is your strength, so please become a kind Welsh Dragon!" Issei felt touched by the tearful words Kabu confessed to her.
Upon hearing this, Issei remembered the words Ddraig said to her and came to a conclusion of what she needed to. Richard was caught off caught when Issei shyly stood in front, cheeks a slight shade of red before yelling out, "P-President, I need you to kiss me!" Her command shocked everyone in the area.
"K-Kiss you?"
"Hai! Only with you can I achieve my Balance Breaker!" Seeing such a firm and determined look in her eyes, Richard pushed aside the absurdity of the situation and accepted what needed to be done.
"For my precious servant, I'll do anything to aid you," said Richard as Issei dropped down in front of him, placing her hands on either side of his cheeks. Ignoring Tannin in the sky, who was yelling at her for what she was doing, she leaned in and pressed her lips against his. The soft touch of their lips caused a surge of power to burst forth from within her.
By kissing Richard, Issei was able to transform and achieve Balance Breaker to the shock of those who were watching. "So by locking lips with the Crimson Prince, this occurred. I can't wait to tell this to Vali," grinned Bikou.
End of Flashback
"Maa, I never knew that Sirzechs-oniisama would incorporate that part into the show. Please forgive me, President," Issei apologized. She never meant for things to turn out like this, not wanting to cause any trouble for her President. When he first saw the scene there was an annoyed look plastered on his face, and he wasted no time contacting his older brother, threatening him with vicious words. When Issei tried to apologize, he simply gave her a smile and said that she had no reason to apologize, before kissing her forehead.
"President is so nice." Hearing Issei talk about the President, Kabu couldn't help but frown and wonder, 'If I was the one to kiss senpai, would things still be the same?'
