HighSchool DxD: True Crimson Dragon Emperor

Life. 3

(At Asia's Room)
"I'm sorry for not waiting for you Asia..." Issei who was
currently sitting in seiza position apologized to Asia
who currently is still having teary eyes, pouting and
mad for being forgotten by Issei.
'Even though I know that she is angry, it's still hard for
me not to laugh at her current facial expression. I can
never get serious if that is her angry face...' Issei
thought to himself while habing his hair shadowed
over his eyes with his body was shivering, due to him
trying to surpress his laughter.
Issei's eyes were filled with hope when Asia started to
speak, "I- I will forgive Issei-san if you promise me one
thing..."
"What is it?" He asked her quickly without any pause.
"Umm... c- can I s- sleep with Issei-san tonight?" Asia
blushed as she spoken out her request.
Issei just sat there with his eyes widened. He then
smiled.
"You just want me to spoils you huh." That statement
causes Asia's face to redden further.
Issei just stood up and gently pat her head. "Alright,
you can sleep with me tonight." He replied her with a
smile.
Asia's face brighten as she heard her wish just came
true.
(Dinner Time)
Issei was sitting in the dining room with Asia on his
opposite side. He figured that he should tell her about
what happened at school while he was waiting for her.
Issei then put down his chopsticks and said in a tone
with a slight seriousness in it.
"Asia, a Fallen Angel came to the school entrance
today. Her alias was Amano Yuuma."
"!?" Asia was shocked when she heard what Issei just
said.
"She was in a student disguise. From presence that
she has given off, her strength was somewhere around
a Mid-Level Fallen Angel."
Asia asked worriedly, "W- What does she want from
Issei-san? Is it possible that she know Ddraig-san living
inside you!? I'm sure that the seal is still working. My
seal didn't weakened right!?"
{Don't worry Asia, your seal is just fine, if that Fallen
Angel wishes to sense me, she'll need to improve her
power to the level of The Leaders of Fallen Angel or
above. Maybe then, she can sense me} Ddraig said.
After hearing what Ddraig said, Asia relaxed herself a
bit. *Phew~*
"Eh... Asia there is one more thing... She asked me out
on a date and I said yes... and we're going out this
Sunday"
'Huh!?' Asia widened her eyes and sat straight. "B- b-
b- b-!" Asia wanted to say something, well, tried to.
But words are not coming out of her mouth. Her eyes
were starting to swirl around.
'Crap, she didn't get my points!' Issei hurried and tried
to find a way to calm Asia down. "Asia, calm down!
We're not actually going out! I just have to find out
what she's up to."
(In Isse's Room)
'Good thing the misunderstanding is over.' The young
man thought as he was lying on his Queen sized bed
placing his hands behind his head while wearing only
tank top and shorts to sleep.
'The school was supposed to be Devil's territory, so
why didn't they do anything when Yuuma came? Is it
because they don't want unnecessary bloodsheds?
Maybe she's under Azazel's order?'
Issei snapped out of his deep thoughts when he felt
someone scooted closer to him and wrapped her
hands around his body.
He looked to see it was Asia in her normal pajamas
sleeping soundly with a smile on her face while
hugging Issei. "Suu~... Issei... -san..." Asia called out
his name as she snuggled closer to the young man's
chest.
Issei widened his eyes as he heard his name was
being called out and smiled as he watch his cute little
sister was sleeping peacefully. Sooner than he
thought, Issei fell into his slumber.
(At 2nd Year Classroom)
"Humm~ Humm~ Humm~" Asia was humming happily
on her seat as she was taking out her lunch box from
her school bag. She's currently sitting with some
female classmates and a few male classmates.
Initially, she wanted to sit with Issei, but after
remembering Issei told her to make some new friends
which she did. But feeling a little disappointed not able
eat lunch with him.
"Hoh. Asia, you seem to be in a good mood?" a brown
haired girl wearing spectacles with her hair being tied
in braids hanging on both her shoulders.
"Ah Kiryuu-san. Yes, I'm very happy today." Asia
answered her new best friend happily.
"Did something good happen?" Kiryuu asked with a
mischievous smile.
Issei who was currently sitting next to Asia, was
enjoying drinking his tea made by Asia after finishing
his Extra Extra Large Sized Lunchbox. Well, being a
dragon means having a big appetite right? He is
currently unintentionally half-eavesdropping the girls'
gossips. You can't blame him for having a sensitive
enhanced hearings. But he doesn't pay much attention
on it since it's just girls' talk.
"I don't think I can say it..." Asia looked down as a
small smile and a pink blush on her face.
"Aiya. Asia, didn't you know? In Japan, you can't keep
secrets from your friends." Kiryuu said that just so
Asia can spill the beans.
Both Issei and Asia's eyes widened after hearing that.
The former one thought, 'I don't recall having this
stupid rule in Japan. Is she trying to trick Asia?'
The later however... was too innocent. "Eh? Is that true
Kiryuu-san?" She looked at other classmates sitting
with her. They all nodded their head, hoping for Asia
telling them why she's so happy.
Issei started to sweat on his head and continue to
drink his tea, doing his best to remain calm. He hoped
that it was other things that made Asia this happy and
not what had happened last night. He was keeping
cool until...
"Ano... well... Issei-san allowed me to sleep with him
last night..." Asia said it while placing her hands on her
cheek in order to hide her blush.
*Puuuuuuuu~!* "Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Everyone in the classroom turned to see Issei
coughing after he spitted his tea.
They got curious on why Issei reacted that way until
the answer they received from Asia sank into their
mind.
""""EHHHHHHHHHHHH!?""""
The female classmates blushed as glitters started
form in their eyes. 'What do they look happy and
interested for?' Issei sweatdropped as he saw his
female classmates. The males however... were shaking
with pure rage and jealousy...
'Not again...' Issei inwardly groaned while trying to
catch his breath. "I- I can explain! It's a
misunderstanding!" He said in a panic way trying to
defend himself.
"Aiya. I didn't know you had it in you Hyoudou-kun."
Kiryuu said it with a mischievous smile.
Issei glared at her for adding oil onto the fire. He knew
he can't stay there for long and he started to escape
from the male students while shouting. "I TOLD YOU
IT'S A MISUNDERSTANDINGGGGG~!"
(Somewhere at Kuoh Academy)
'Looks like I manage to shake them off.' Issei looked
around as he felt relief when no ones around. He then
felt a presence not far from him, 'Devils... Two of
them.' Issei then walked towards those devils.
(Outside Occult Research Club)
Issei arrived in front of and old schoolhouse. "Man, the
school sure is big, to have another schoolhouse built
at here." Issei spoke to himself while wondering. 'Is
this the place where they normally gathered?' On the
first day of school Issei know there is a total of 12
devils in his school, but he never actually met anyone
of them. Out of the twelve, two were on High-Class
Level. Not that he's worried, Issei have confidents that
he can overpower both high-class easily... if only he's
unsealed... At his current level, he'll have to put more
effort into it. One High-class Devil is okay for him, but
two High-class? He himself is unsure.
*Creeeeakkkkk* Sound of old windows being opened
on the 2nd floor, Issei looked up and only found
himself feeling astonished when he saw a long
crimson-red haired young woman with light skin, blue-
green eyes and a buxom figure.
'Wow...' That was the only thing that came into his
mind when he saw her, and he unconsciously blushed.
"!?" The crimson-haired girl looked down from the
window as she noticed that someone was there. Her
eyes widened as she found out who it was. 'It's him!
One of the new student that caught my attentions' she
quickly removed herself from her current positioned.
Issei rose an eyebrow, 'Huh. I didn't know that a devil
can be shy. Oh well, at least I get to see her face.'
Issei then started to turn around and walk away from
the old schoolhouse.
"W- Wait!" A female voice was suddenly called out.
Issei turned only to see the crimson haired girl was at
the standing at the opened door panting slightly while
one of her hand was on the doorknob.
Issei speed walked to her direction to see if she's
okay while remaining alert.
"Can I help you?" Issei asked believing that it's a good
start.
The crimson-haired girl then walked towards him
slowly. Issei noticed she was being a bit tense as if
she doesn't know what she's supposed to do next.
"Is there anything I can do for you? Issei asked her
again.
"I- I am Rias Gremory, 3rd Year Student. I am the
President of Occult Research Club." Rias started to
introduce herself.
'Gremory? One of the remaining 72 Pillars? If I
remember correctly, Gremory is one of the high-
ranking and famous Devil familles'
"Ah. I'm Hyoudou Issei. 2nd Year Student. It's nice to
meet you Gremory-senpai." Issei bowed his head in
order to show respect to his senior, even though she's
a devil.
Rias chuckled lightly as she sees how Issei introduced
himself. She then tried to push her luck further. "You
don't have to be so formal. You can just call me Rias
if you want. Also, is it okay for me to call you Issei?"
Issei grinned and answer her without thinking, like he
always did. "Sure Rias-senpai, it will be an honour."
"Thank you Issei, but just call me Rias." Rias thanked
Issei as he just easily made her wish came true and
corrected him at the same time.
"Hahaha. I would love to, but I have to stop making all
the Kuoh's boys into my enemies. Just having enemies
in my class is too much for me to handle." Rias
saddened as she heard that which Issei noticed easily.
"... Perhaps, if you don't mind... I think I can call you
Rias-senpai?"
Rias's face brightened right away and nodded. "Y- Yes.
That is okay for me!"
"Buchou? Why are you rushing out of the clubhouse
for?" Another feminine voice was heard
"!?" Both Issei and Rias looked at the old schoolhouse,
for the former is to see whose voice was it, while the
latter looked back because someone was calling her.
Only to see another young lady with a buxom figure
who seems to be on the same age as Rias with very
long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair is tied in a
long ponytail with an orange ribbon.
"Ah, Akeno, it's nothing I just came out to have a chat
with Issei."
Akeno rose an eyebrow as she walked towards Rias
and saw the brown-haired boy. 'This is the boy that
Rias said to keep an eye on? Why is he here?'
Akeno greeted Issei with a smile and an elegant bow.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Himejima Akeno. 3rd Year
Student, Vice-President of the Occult Research Club."
Issei bowed in response and introduced himself again
to another of his senior. "I'm Hyoudou Issei, 2nd Year
Student. I'm still new here, so please look after me
Himejima-senpai."
"Ara ara, such a polite kouhai. You can just call me
Akeno. I don't need formalities and is it okay for me to
call you Issei-kun?"
"Alright, Akeno-san." Issei said it with a smile after
learning the mistake he had made from addressing
Rias wrongly. 'I sense both Devil and Fallen Angel
power in her... Is she a hybrid like me?'
He then turned his head to see who they are when he
smelled two people approaching from behind.
"Buchou, we're back." A gentle voice coming from a
handsome young with short blonde hair, grey eyes with
a mole under his left eye called out for Rias. Standing
next to him was a midget around 15 years old, with
white hair and hazel eyes. Her front hair has two long
bangs going past her shoulder and several loose bangs
going hanging over her forehead, while the back has a
short bob cut. She has black cat-shaped hair clip on
both sides of her hair.
"Yuuto, Koneko welcome back. Did you guys finished
your lunch?" Rias smiled and greeted at them.
"Issei, he's name is Kiba Yuuto, 2nd Year Student like
you and she is Toujou Koneko, 1st Year Student.
They're the only member of the Occult Research
Club."
'These must be her peerage then... Only 4 of them in
total?' Issei thought to himself.
Issei smiled at bowed at them and introduced himself
again. "Hi, I'm Hyoudou Issei, 2nd Year Student."
Koneko nodded at him while Kiba bowed in respond,
smiling charming and said, "It's nice to meet the new
prince of Kuoh Academy."
"Hahahaha. Same here. It's nice to meet the original
prince of Kuoh. I hate to say this, but that title only
caused me troubles so far." Issei laugh and said it
while scratching the back of his head.
It seems like he was getting along with them until
Koneko decided asked him something which surprises
everyone.
"... What are you?"
"!?" Issei widened his eyes when he heard that
question.
Rias, Akeno and Kiba gave out a confused expressions.
Rias then decided to ask, "What do you mean Koneko?"
"He feels different than the rest of them..." that was all
Koneko said.
'By them... did she mean human?' Rias thought.
Rias's facial expression became a bit more serious.
"Koneko, what do you mean by feeling diferent?"
"... ..." Koneko was silence for a while, until she decided
to speak. "Something about him... makes him different
than the rest of them... I cannot tell... what it is..." She
finished it with a frown.
"So there is something special about him..." Rias spoke
to herself while placing her hand under her chin.
"Anyway, thank you Koneko. Because of you, we've
learned something today." Koneko nodded her head in
response.
"Issei-san?" a voice called out which causes everyone
to turn at that direction.
"Asia!? What are you doing here!?" Issei asked
shockingly. 'Crap! Bad timing!'
"I- I came to see if you're okay or not..." Asia
answered without understanding the situation.
"Issei... I'm sorry I have to do this but... Yuuto!" Rias
showed a guilty expression for a second before she
called Kiba.
At that moment a magical seal formed under Kiba's
feet and produced a sword and dash towards Asia in a
high speed.
'Crap!' Issei widened his eyes and shouted, "Don't!"
As Kiba ignored Issei's shout and brought his sword
down on Asia who shut her eyes tightly after seeing a
sword swinging down towards her.
What surprises everyone is that the sword never touch
Asia and more surprise when they saw the person
stopping Kiba's strike was none other than Issei... with
his bare hand!?
"That's enough" Issei frowned and tightened his
gripped on the sword, causing it to shatter instantly.
""""!?"""" All 4 Devils widened their eyes and Kiba
jumped back instantly when after witnessing his sword
being cushed by Issei without making less to no effort.
"Rias-senpai... that's a bit too much. Don't you think
you're over stepping your boundary?" Issei spoke
coldly with his irises narrowed and pupils sharpened a
bit, releasing a suffocating aura of killing intent which
causes everyone to back away a bit and shivered.
"I- Issei-san... its fine... he never have the intention to
hurt me... it's alright." Asia said it with teary eyes but
continued to smile.
"I- I'm sorry Issei... I just got curious on you..." Rias
apologized with a guilty expressions on her face.
"Didn't you know the idiom, curiosity kills the cat?"
Issei countered her coldly, which causes Rias to flinch
a little.
"I'm terribly sorry..." Rias apologized again while
bowing her head down, which surprises her servants
but they followed after their master's action and
bowed to both Issei and Asia.
"!?"
"P- Please get up! If Asia doesn't mind then it's fine
by me! N- Now you made it look like I'm the bad guy
here!" Issei stuttered and blushed.
Everyone laughed after seeing how Issei reacted and
the atmosphere seems to be much better.
*DING DONG*
"Break time is over. It's nice to finally you two, Issei
and... Asia was it?" Rias smiled as she send both of
them off. Rias bowed again slightly.
"Y- Yes, you too." Asia bowed to Rias too.
(In the Bathroom)
Issei was currently removing his school uniform in
order to take a shower. When the uniforms were
removed, He looked at his own reflection in the mirror.
He gave a sad smile to himself when he saw the
visible seals. There were spiked chains like tattoos
were on his neck, hands, feet and chest. One chain
was circling around his neck, two were on both his
wrists while another two were both on his feet. Lastly,
four chains, two on his left shoulder and two on his
right shoulder running down and crisscrossed each
other forming two large X-shaped on his chest and his
back. There were total of 9 spiked chains on his body,
which means that 90% of his power were sealed away.
These were the seals that he had asked Asia to
suppress his and Ddraig's power so that most
supernatural will not be able to sense him easily. He
feels sad whenever he saw those chains, because he
knew that he can no longer act freely. That is another
curse for being a dragon, because dragons love to
seek freedom.
"I- Issei-san?" Issei widened his eyes and turned
around forgetting that he was in his birthday suit when
he heard Asia's voice.
"A- A- Asia!? W- What are you doing in here!?" Issei
blushed heavily when he saw Asia blushing heavily
while standing in the bathroom not wearing anything
at all.
"Ano... Kiryuu-san told me that people in Japan have to
follow a rule that people can bath with one another..."
"... ..." 'Damn that perverted glass woman! Always
taking advantages on Asia's innocent and giving her
the wrong information!' Issei mentally cursed his
perverted female classmate.
"A- Asia, I think that rule only applies to people with
the same gender... not the opposite..." Issei told Asia
nervously while doing his best averting his eyes.
"Huh!? O- Oh... I see..." Asia looked a bit disappointed.
But took all her courage and said. "B- But can I still
bath with Issei-san? I- I have to pay Issei-san back for
causing all the problems in school... I also wish to
cheer Issei-san up! I- I noticed Issei-san become sad
whenever you see those seals... I- I will do whatever it
takes to make Issei-san happy!" Asia boldly spoke out
her feelings which pretty much caused Issei to stunt.
"Sigh~" "So you noticed huh..." Issei sighed, gave a sad
smile and continued with blushes on his cheeks,
"Alright Asia... you can take a bath with me..." "B-But
it's just for today only okay!? I don't want people to
think that I'm a pervert!" Issei's blush darkened when
he finished talking, still not wanting to face Asia.
Asia smiled warmly and said, "I shall make Issei-san
happy!"
(In an Abandoned Church)
"Humm, humm, humm~"
A certain fallen angel was humming happily while
looking at her closet to see what she should wear on
her first date.
"Well, well. Looks like someone's in a good mood." A
tall and buxom woman with long hair, navy blue hair
that obstructed her right eye and brown eyes teased
Yuuma.
"S- Shut up Kalawarner!" Yuuma blushed as she talked
back Kalawarner.
"Why are you being so high about going out with a
boring human? Not to mention, he's just a brat!?"
Another Fallen Angel with a middle-aged-looking
gentleman with short black hair and dark blue eyes.
He's wearing a pale violet trench coat over a white
dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and
shoes, and a black fedora.
"H- He's different than those boring human,
Dohnaseek!" Yuuma defended Issei. *mumble* "I
think...he's kinda... cool... *mumble* Yuuma mumbled
as she was too shy to admit it.
"He's actually kinda cute if you ask me~" Another
female Fallen Angel, with blonde hair styled in twin
short side ponytails and blue eyes. She's wearing a
Gothic Lolita attire, which consisted of black Lolita
dress with white frills, a black bow on the front, and a
green jewel embedded on the collar, white thigh-high
socks and black shoes. She also has a large black on
top of her hair.
The blonde girl spoke again happily, "Raynare, I can be
your substitute if you want to~"
"Don't you dare Mittelt!" Yuuma or Raynare scowled at
her friend's request.
"Awww~ someone doesn't like her boyfriend being
taken away from her~" Mittelt teased Raynare further
which causes her to have a dark blush on her cheeks.
Both Dohnaseek and Kalawarner smirked seeing how Mittelt teasing Raynare.
"Geez you guys! I'm just following Azazel-sama's order!
Keeping an eye on him! That's all!" Raynare protested but she blushes.
