Chapter 66: We are so close

I'm back baby! We're no longer in hiatus!

-----------------

Sitting in the Hyoudou family kitchen was The ORC the student council and the Hyoudou family themselves along with Xenovia who's now awkwardly eating hotpot at a huge table, in the dining room.

While they were eating two magic circles appeared and out came Sirzechs and Serafall.

Sirzechs/Serafall:"Rias/Sona are you okay!?" said the two of them but was shut up when they saw they were all eating hotpot with smiles on their faces.

Sirzechs:"Your okay."

Rias:"Brother." she snapped out of her trance as she looked at her brother.

Issei:"Take seat guys there's plenty for everyone." said Issei eating his fiftieth bowl as he stuffed his face with more meat.

-Later-

Sirzechs and Serafall were sitting in the living room couch as Rias and Sona told them of what happened.

Sirzechs:"I see we'll be holding a peace conference with the other two great factions in four to five days, we've decided it will be at Kuoh Academy."

Issei:"I see, I'd like to be there as well if that isn't a problem."

Sirzechs:"No that's alright, it would be best if that were to happen, as you are involved. Also Rias I think it would be best you unseal you bishop."

Rias:"Brother, are you sure." he nodded his head.

Issei:"Oh yeah I've been working on something for you and the other Satans."

Serafall:"What is it?"

Issei:"I think I'll make it a surprise, it should be done by the meeting." Serafall pouts a bit, but it was time for them to leave and so they did along with rest of devils, only Xenovia and Irina was here the latter was sleeping in a guest room.

Sighing Issei got up and went to the room Irina was staying in, he opened the door to see Irina crying in Xenovia's arms.

Issei:"I'm sorry to interrupt but are you okay Irina?" they turned to Issei Irina started to wipe her eyes, they were puffy it seems she was crying alot.

Irina:"I'm fine thank you for letting us stay here."

Issei:"I'm really sorry you had to find out that way Iri." he sat down on her bed as she hugged him.

Issei:"Just let it all out Iri."

It's been two days since then, both Irina and Xenovia has been excommunicated from the church due to knowing God has died. Xenovia has joined Rias Peerage and...

Xenovia sat on Issei as he slowly opened his eyes waking up from his sleep.

Issei:"Xenovia what are you doing?"

Xenovia:"You are strong so I'd like to bear your child it's just that simple." However Asia who was cuddling with Issei along with Rhongomyniad got up and stared daggers at Xenovis.

Asia:"We have a problem with that, as you know we're dating Issei, the thing is I'm okay with him having an harem, but if anyone is going to bear his child first it will be me then Rhong-chan." said Asia determined.

*Boom!* The door burst open revealing Lilly.

Lilly:"Then after I'm next!" She said with an equal look of determination on her face.

Xenovia:"I see then. I shall wait." she closed her eyes and nodded.

Issei:"Oi! And what say do I have in this." said Issei pissed he really didn't like them deciding these things without him.

Issei:"Okay knowing all of you, you'll all try kill each other over me. I have a date with Lilly in a few days, after that we'll deciding a date for me and Xenovia, as I refuse to have a child with you if we're not in a relationship." said Issei with his arms crossed, he hated how some of the mc's would have their harem fighting over them they should be more assertive which is what he's going to do.

Issei:"However, the decision is not only upto me to but also Asia and Rhong."

Xenovia:"I can agree with that."

Issei:"I'll got take bath you guys discuss how the dynamics of this harem is going to work, I'll join you four some other time." They nod as he got up and checked on Irina.

Issei:"Yo Iri are you okay?" the girl was on her bed her eyes still puffy.

Irina:"Oh! Issei, I didn't want you to see me like this!" her throat was a bit sore so he opened the gate and handed her something to drink.

Irina:"Thank you." she took a sip of the drink and set it down before suprising Issei with a kiss but it was blocked by his hand.

Irina:"Why are you stopping me, I want you?"

Issei:"This isn't what you need right now, I'm not going to take you until you get better. Irina, sure God no longer exist but there are people in your life who cares for you, I know this is selfish but please return to the same airheaded girl we care about Mom Dad and your parents we all love you!"

Irina:"Issei!" She started sobbing in his chest.

Irina:"I'll try, I'll make you all proud!" Issei smiled and kissed her forehead before leaving.

Daemon:"So another harem member my friend." said Daemon in his human wearing a suite he was getting ready to head to work.

Issei:"If Asia, Rhongomyniad and Lilly agrees to it then yes."

And so they day went in the Hyoudou house like normal. However when he went to school that same infront of him Asia and Xenovia who just enrolled stood Vali.

Issei:"What are you here for white."

Vali:"Nothing really I just wanted to meet you, but tell me do you have no intention to fight me?"

Issei:"I have none, that was Ddraig's and Albion's battle, but like I said white, I'm always up for a spar if you so wish."

Vali:"My name is Vali and we are destined to fight wether you like it or not." he walked away, Issei could also sense Kiba and Akeno hiding waiting for a time to strike.

Issei:"Good job you two, you waited instead of immediately rushing in. I'm proud to have you as my students." they both came out of hiding with small blushes on their faces. Issei had grown quite attached to the group.

Issei:"So Kiba how's the creativity of your swords coming along?"

Kiba:"Well I was able to create a few new sword like the Luck sword though it takes alot of my reserves."

Issei:"I'll teach you some runes you can incorporate into you magic circles, these can be a good crutch." They continued to talk until it was time for class.

The next day he and Asia were leaving the school when he sensed Koneko and Xenovia chasing Gasper around the ORC back yard with Kiba and Saji watching them.

Issei:"What are you doing?" They both stopped and all turned towards Issei and Asia. They then explained what they were doing when Azazel showed himself and explained ways to deal with Gasper training.

Azazel:"Though I didn't know the Red Dragon Emperor awoke."

Issei:"That doesn't concern you governor, but I do thank you for telling us this."

Gasper:"But I don't want to drink blood it's so gross!" he cried, Issei walked upto him the boy flinched and stopped time but Issei was too powerful and he was greeted by a head pat.

Issei:"I know it's scary but sometimes we have to fight, I know it's scary but you'll have to get over these fears."

Gasper:"But I can't, I'm useless and weak I can't do anything right!" he cried again.

Issei:"But you can, believe in the me that believes in you! Sure they were will be failures but you have to learn from so you can improve failure is just the path to success, so keep failing as long as long you learn from them and improve upon them okay." he said with a smile, but his words managed to reach the other who are there as well.

Gasper:"I'll try."

Issei:"Good I'll be helping you with your training and since you don't like blood Saji-kun I'll need your help." he nodded.

Azazel:"This generations Red Dragon Emperor he's interesting." he left the schools grounds, Gasper was able to get ahold on his abilities to alot better than his canon counterpart especially since Issei had the [Library of Heavens path] and his [Teaching] skill, however if he were to get worked up he'd lose control.

Issei however didn't have time for those worries the peace conference, Issei was joined by Asia, Rhongomyniad, Bahamut, along with Rio. They all stood behind Issei as the summit started, to which it began as usual with Rias and Sona giving a detailed report of the incident Azazel then explained his side and peace was formed.

Issei was about to do something when Katarea attacked and Rias and Kiba went off to help Koneko but Issei stepped in.

Issei:"Rias don't worry I have that under control." Rias looked confused as Issei dissapeared.

Infront of him was Koneko and Gasper both the prior lookin more beaten up than in canon it seems they used number to overwhelm her in this timeline, which enraged Issei, he might not be as close to them in the canon timeline but he still saw them as his friends and students, but he didn't end them

Issei:"Gasper take this" he cut himself with with a claw from his own hand and flung the drop of blood in his mouth and the boy bursted into bats and like in canon drained the magicians of all their magical power, with an extra lesson Issei taught him how to reform and when he did he gave vampire a head pat.

Issei:"You did it little bro."

Gasper:"Thank you Issei!" he healed Koneko and teleported to tell battle field.

Rias:"Gasper you back."

Gasper:"Rias he ran towards his master."

Issei:"Sirzechs, Serafall here's you gift." he threw Serafall a magical girl stick while he three Sirzechs a red watch.

Issei:"Zechs to activate that say the key words 'Satan up!' and for Serafall say your usual magical girl spiel." confused they did so and a change happen that suprised everyone. Serafall glowed pink as a frilly magical girl ccame onto her body and for Sirzechs he gained a red Satan Ranger suit, the power eradating off of them was amazing.

Sirzechs:"What is this!"

Serafall:"I'm actually a magical girl now! Issei explained!"

Issei:"Sorry trade secret!" he looked towards Micheal, Azazel and Grayfia and gave them three watches as well. Sirzechs and Serafall went off to have fun laughing like they were insane.

Issei:"For Micheal say Angel Up and Azazel say fallen up!" they all said the words, Grayfia became Satan yellow, while Azazel became Fallen Gold and Micheal Angel Silver.

Azazel:"What the hell!?" while Micheal stood there speechless

Katarea:"It doesn't matter because I will still defeat you!"

Rio:"What a cliche line don't you know it's always the villains who get beaten always say that line." this seemed to piss her off as she fired an array of elemental magic at Rio who tanked them all.

Katarea:"What but how!"

Rio:"Another super cliche line!" dashed towards at speeds she couldn't even react and promptly got knocked her out.

Rio:"Hey Dad can we keep her, I'm gonna feed her and stuff please." he gave Issei the puppy eyes.

Issei:"Rio she's not a pet, though use this on her this will completely seal off her magical power and we can use a maid."

Rio:"Thanks Dad you won't regret this."

However like in canon Vali attacked Azazel out of nowhere. (AN RKO OUTTA NOW WHERE.)

Azazel:"What are you doing Vali?" and things went on like with Vali releasing his wings and explaining he's the rightful heir to the Lucifer.

Vali:"Issei you say you have no intention of fighting me, but what if I were to kill your parents maybe being an avenger would change that." Issei only cupped his forehead and sighed.

Issei:"You know the reason I didn't want to fight you, was for your own good Vali." Issei looked at Vali who's in his armour when one of the gems inside of it was torn out and Issei's hand.

Vali:"W-what was that?"

Issei:"That Vali was simply pure speed." Issei called his [Boosted Gear E-Neo] and absorbed the orb, the light from his gaunlet was alternating between green and blue.

Albion:((Ddraig is your host insane he'll kill himself, he's trying to merge two opposite forces!))

Ddraig:((Don't underestimate my host Albion, the reason he didn't want to fight you host was for his own sake.))

Issei:"Well that's done [Dividing Gear E-Neo] is complete." Said Issei as looked at the gauntlet which is now pure white with a blue gem, instead of usual green.

Vali:"Interesting!" Vali rushed towards Issei readying a punch but his attack was casually block with one of Issei's single fingers.

Vali:"What the hell!" with a flick Vali was flung far away.

Vali:"Albion what was that?" Vali was out of his [Balance Breaker] and was bleeding very badly.

Albion:((I don't know, I never knew Ddraig's host was this strong.)) Vali however went back into his [Balance Breaker] and was about to use his [Half Dimension] when a huge red blast flew towards Vali, however...

[DIVIDE!!!]

[DIVIDE!!!]

[DIVIDE!!!]

The attack became nothing as Issei stood infront of Vali, but above them a familiar face was seen floating in the sky, red hair fluttering in the wind it was Koroshimaru she had a smile on her face however this smile was different from her usual ones, she had a genuine happy smile and she cupped her cheeks with her hands and blush adorned her face.

Koroshimaru:"Issei-sama!"
