Chapter 27

For the rest of the week Sephiroth would follow Raynare secretly or at the very least use his senjutsu to see where she is at. On the last day of the week she finally made a move on Issei and officially made contact with him.

From the roof of the school building Sephiroth stood there on the edge with his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he listened to the conversation they had. From what he heard Raynare asked Issei to be her boyfriend and asked him out on their next day off this weekend which was Sunday. Shortly after that was said Raynare ran away pretending to be embarrassed but Sephiroth knew that it was all an act and shook his head at how native this boy is.

He doesn't even know this girl but almost immediately agreed to go out with her. If his face is anything to go by this is probably his first time he had a date or a girlfriend which was even more embarrassing. Sephiroth had never had a date either before but he lived in a different world then and never had a personal life because being a 1st rank soldier for Shinra and always having his time managed by someone else made it hard.

He figured that he didn't have to follow Raynare today and would just go to the kendo club since he had some free time and check on the girls, maybe he would fight them again as a group.

****

When Sephiroth got there to the kendo club he calmly walked into the dojo and just calmly watched them all for a moment. It seemed that they hadn't noticed that he arrived yet because of how hard they were practicing and something that he noticed is that they are going at it harder than they normally do which piqued his interest and figured he just ask Katase or Murayama since they were his favorite of this club and most likely knew what going on.

When those two were finally done training with each other and taking a break, Sephiroth finally made his presence known to them "Katase and Murayama, why are you two training harder than usual?" He asked, scaring the two a little because they didn't know how long he had been watching them.

"Oh hi Sephiroth-senpai, you didn't hear the big news that is going to happen next weekend for the kendo club?" Katase said when she calmed down after her little scare from Sephiroth. To where Sephiroth just shook his head showing that he didn't know what they were talking about right now.

Murayama took over the conversation when she saw that he didn't know "Next weekend there is going to be a big kendo competition and the reason it is such a big deal is because this years kendo champion is going to be there as well to compete" with some excitement in her voice at the thought of one of her idols in the kendo world being their in person.

Sephiroth waited for them to continue and he didn't have to wait long because Katase continued where Murayama left off. "Her name is Saeko Busujima and she goes to Fujimi High School in Tokyo. Ever since her debut in middle school she hasn't lost once and has won every competition that she has entered. Some call her the sword goddess because of her skill with the sword and her beauty." she stated getting just as excited as Murayama now thinking about her idol as well.

"Senpai, why don't you join us for the competition as well next weekend since you are our unofficial captain of the kendo club that is going to be held in Tokyo. It will only last two days so we won't take too much of your time, you might even get a chance to battle some other well known kendo users." Murayama asked him, hoping that he would agree because he would be a great moral support for the girls that will be competing in the competition.

Thinking about it for a moment to himself, he didn't see why he couldn't go; he wasn't doing anything that he knew of and should have already wrapped up whatever Raynare and her group were doing by then.

"Sure, I would like to meet this Saeko Busujima and see if she is as good as you say," Sephiroth said, making the two girls happy that he was going to go with them to the competition in Tokyo next weekend. Before they could go and inform the others about what they just talked about Sephiroth stopped them.

"If your going to go to a competition like this then you need more training" Sephiroth said already having a shinai in his hand somehow which confused the girls because he didn't have that a moment ago but they didn't have much time to think about it when they saw the smile on his face. He was smiling which normally would have melted the hearts of any girl nearby but there was something wrong with it and that is what frightened the girls making them and all the other girls in the kendo club have a sudden chill go down their backs.

If you were to walk by the kendo club 10 minutes later you would hear nothing but the sound of loud thuds of objects hitting each other with a lot of force and groaning of people in pain. Sephiroth fought all the girls at the same time again, granted they did better this time because of his training but they still lost to him.

Laying on the ground panting and groaning at the bruises that were forming on their bodies Murayama and Katase talked "why can't we touch him still. We have been training for months with him and there were 30 of us?" Murayama whined to her friend.

Groaning at trying to speak to her friend's question "He is just that strong, we haven't even seen the peak of his abilities yet but one day we will "Katase started wondering how strong Sephiroth really is.

"Once I get stronger than him, I'm going to beat his ass so hard with my shinai" huffed Murayama trying to get the energy to sit up off the ground.

"Sadly Murayama, that won't be for a long time at the rate we are going" Katase said back to her hoping her friend would stop with her daydreaming.

While Sephiroth just walked out of the dojo looking like he hadn't broken a sweat in fighting all the girls and thinking about if anything fun will happen in Tokyo, he seemed to notice that he is like a magnet for troublesome situations if Kyoto is anything to go by.

**Sunday**

Today is the day of the catfish date with Raynare and Issei, and sadly Sephiroth was forced to watch them go on it. It was just sad in Sephiroth's opinion because he knew that Issei was really trying hard for this girl he just met but it was all in vain. Raynare may be showing the proper reactions to his actions on the date and building an image of a sweet girl that is shy, but she can't hide how she really feels from showing on her face when Issei isn't looking.

Shaking his head to this situation he wanted to just get this over with and he was in luck well at least for him anyway when they came to a park and noticed that Raynare put up a barrier to ward off normal humans. Obviously this didn't affect Sephiroth and Raynare would not be able to detect him either because he is one stronger than her and two because he has training in concealing himself from others.

As he watched from a tree nearby he heard what Raynare asked him and just shook his head at her manipulative and sadistic nature and wondered if all fallen angels were like this. While he watched her charge up and launch what looked like a light spear made out of magic at the stomach of Issei, Sephiroth had an idea what to do with Issei seeing as how he wasn't going to die instantly when she attacked him. He would wait for her to leave the area then go and save the boy and see if what he thinks will be possible to do.

He only had to wait like a minute for Raynare to get bored with her prey and fly off to probably go back to the church on the edge of town. Flying down to Issei who looked like he might die any moment Sephiroth spoke to him.

"Issei Hyoudou would you like me to save you" Sephiroth asked making sure that Issei could see that he was also a fallen angel match like Raynare but he was different because he only had one black wing unlike Raynare who had two.

"Yes….. please sa...ve me" Issei said with blood leaking out of his mouth and coughing.

"There will be a price through for me to save you, are you fine with that" Sephiroth asked

"I.. don't ...care…. Ju..st s...ave me…. I… do..n't….want…. Die" Issei says with some tears now coming out of his eyes at the thought of dying like this with what should have been a great day for him.

Nodding his head Sephiroth reached for Issei's right hand, the hand that he sensed all of the dragon aura coming from this whole time putting his plan into action and seeing if it would work. If it is the sacred gear that he thinks it is then it should be possible and he wants to see if he can get it for himself.

Upon touching his hand Sephiroth sensed his consciousness get pulled into what could be described as a void with the area being mainly a dark red instead of a pitch black you would think. Then he saw what must have pulled him here: a large red Western Dragon, with a long neck and green eyes. He also has red and golden spikes throughout his body.

"Who are you boy and what are you trying to do to my host?" The dragon spoke in a deep voice staring at Sephiroth like he was looking at an ant.

Unfazed by being stared down by a large red dragon "I'm Sephiroth Crescent and as for what I was doing to your host I'm saving his life of course"

Hearing what Sephiroth said the dragon uses his senses and to check what he said is true about his new host. When he was done he cursed because he just woke up and he is already going to be sent back to sleep and into someone else if no one saves his host from his wound.

"Name is Ddraig, I'm the Red Dragon Emperor of Domination, who resides within the Longinus, Boosted Gear" The now named dragon Ddraig said to Sephiroth.

"I know I had a feeling that this is who you are based on what I have read. Back to the main point, the reason I am here. I can save your current host easily with my magic but I have an offer for you one that I think that you would like." When Ddraig heard this he was relieved that he could save his current host he didn't want to go back to sleep after just waking up and was now curious what this offer was going to be that this boy had for him.

Ddraig nodded his head telling Sephiroth to continue "I want to be your new host instead of this kid. I'm already extremely powerful on my own and with you we could be that much more powerful together and you can defeat your archrival Albion as well with me easily. If you knew his personality and behavior in the real world as a massive pervert that he is you wouldn't want to be his host at all. Think about it you are called the Red Dragon Emperor of Domination, but if you were to be the host of this boy who has a massive addiction to large breasts for some reason you could be renamed something else like the Oppai Dragon or The Breast Dragon Emperor. Would you like something like that to happen to you?" Sephiroth stated to Ddraig trying to let him know of his possible future.

When Ddraig hears how his current host acts and behaves in the real world and hears about his strange addiction to large breasts. He shivered at the thought that he the Red Dragon Emperor of Domination a heavenly dragon could be renamed to something like Oppai dragon, when he thought about it more he was getting depressed at the thought and could see himself having a breakdown if that future came to be.

"How can I trust what you say is true?" Ddraig asked after calming down and getting out of his depressing thoughts about a possible future for him.

"You can check your host memories right and I"ll even let you check mine as well but only a select few" Sephiroth said and that is what Ddraig did. He first checked his host and when he did he was depressed that what Sephiroth said is true about his current host.

He then raised his hand and using one of his clawed fingers he pointed at Sephiroth's head but hovered it in front of him a few inches waiting for Sephiroth to walk into it thus giving him permission to read his memories.

Sephiroth walked forward and allowed Ddraig to read some of his memories and the one's he did let Ddraig read shocked him, he found out how powerful this kid is already and that fact that he had met the while dragon emperor of supremacy and was stronger than him already on his own. Not only that but he wasn't from this world apparently either but he couldn't get anymore information from him because Sephiroth blocked any other attempt that he made on reading them.

Stepping back from Ddraig's finger "Now you know what I have to offer you, I am already strong so I won't use you like your previous host most likely did to gain power. Join me and together we can see the many different worlds out there and dominate them if we want. We can show them what the Red Dragon Angel of Domination can do and that our power can not be stopped"

When Sephiroth was done talking, it actually made Ddraig excited for the first time in a while, he wasn't going to be used as a tool for once but as a partner instead and he would get to see many different things. When you live as long as he has you don't really get to see anything new anymore but this, this was going to be fun he thought.

"Red Dragon Angel of Domination huh, could use some work on the title but it will have to do for now"

"You have yourself a deal kid, I'll join you but you must save this boy first" Ddraig stated, even though he doesn't really know this kid he doesn't deserve to die like this at least. He was even going to leave a present for the kid as a parting give and what he does with it is up to him. He will cut all ties with him and make sure he isn't left with nothing after all.

"Fine, I was already going to do that anyway, now I'll see you on the outside Ddraig" Sephiroth said then faded out of existence in this red void, opening his eyes in the real world. A lot of time seemed to have passed while they were talking but in reality one a second has passed in the real world because of the different flow of time. It was an extremely accelerated flow of time in their consciousness when they were speaking otherwise Issei would have been dead by the time that they were done talking.

Sephiroth quickly cast a [Curage] on Issei making sure that he stayed alive because he didn't want any problems with Ddraig if he couldn't do what he said he would. Not the best way to start a partnership you know. Looking at Issei you wouldn't even know that he was injured except by the clothing on his body that had a massive hole in the stomach and the blood stains on them. Issei is currently unconscious now because of the stress that his body has gone through with being impaled and then healed back to full life he is only human after all.

As soon as he was done healing him a red light left Issei's right hand and flew and went into Sephiroth's right hand thus completely the deal that they made, as soon as that was done a red magic circle appeared near Issei's body and it came from a piece of paper.

Sephiroth watched as Akeno and Rias stepped out of the circle and they were surprised when Sephiroth was standing next to Issei Hyoudou and from the looks of his body he had been severely injured but also healed as well.

Rias looked at Sephiroth and then asked him something "What happened here and to him?"

Sephiroth looked into her eyes for several seconds debating what lie to use for her and Akeno, then he knew what to say to them.

"That fallen angel Raynare attacked this boy, almost killed him but I saved him. Now he is unconscious because of the attack, since you're here you can take care of him" After saying this Sephiroth teleported away back to his home, not wanting to answer any more questions from either Rias or Akeno.

"Wai...t" Rias called out to Sephiroth trying to stop him from teleporting away but she wasn't able to stop him in time.

"President what should we do with Issei" Akeno spoke for the first time since they got here and had a complicated feeling about Sephiroth because she knows he didn't tell the whole truth but she knows no one can force him to tell them what really happened.

"I'll take him back with me, based on what Sephiroth and Sona's queen and bishop said he has a sacred gear and it should be dragon based. You know as well as I do all dragon based sacred gears are powerful and we need his power. Someone like Issei will be easy to get to join my peerage. I have what he desires" Rias said, pushing her breast together showing Akeno what she meant.

"Yes President, if you think it is the right decision" Akeno said thinking that what Rias is going to do to this poor boy is wrong but she can't disobey her king in this matter.

They all teleported back to where Rias is staying putting Issei into Rias bed and joining him, Akeno left after her task of moving the boy was done. Rias was tired today and just wanted to sleep. She can persuade Issei to join her peerage tomorrow morning for now sleep was more important.

Meanwhile in Sephiroth's room Ddraig was getting to know his new host and partner and Sephiroth was learning more about his new partner as well.
