Issei: Ddraig..... No.. it can't... puagggg - He couldn't finish speaking because he vomited again.

Ddraig, with sadness: Partner, I'm sorry but it's true

Issei: No... no.. no.... no - he said over and over again like a mantra.

Ddraig: Partner, it's true, the.. - Ddraig couldn't finish because issei started crying.

Issei: Ddra.. Draig why?... why?

Draig, firmly: Issei, don't worry about it right now - but in an frustrated tone - sorry but you need to get close to the nun and the phoenix.

Issei: So that....wait, Asia was not with Vali in the park but she has the smell of a dragon - proceeding to get up.

Ddraig, in a sure tone: Yes, it is not the smell of the target, I am 100% sure.

Issei: But.. then that would mean - a name came to him and he fell back to the ground dumbfounded.

Draig, angrily: Vritra, he is the only other known dragon that is in Kuoh.

Issei: But Saji is... my... friend? - while still crying.

Ddraig: Partner, I will try to suppress your vomiting and gray hair, but I need you to approach the nun and the phoenix - with a firm tone - it is necessary to confirm it.

Issei: OK, partner - while wiping the tears and getting up from the ground.

When he finished standing up, he looked in the mirror and what he saw surprised him, he was a little pale, slightly graying hair with large dark circles.

Issei: Ddraig why do I look like this?

Ddraig: After I verify who it is and the smell of those two, I will tell you, but if I told you in advance, you won't like it.

Issei: Ok, partner - proceeding to get out of the bathroom.

He began to walk, but after a few steps, he felt a puncture of pain throughout his body that almost made him fall, but he leaned against the wall to stay upright.

He began to go to the table where all the girls were eating and laughing, but to Issei, he felt nothing but disgust being near them, believing what he lived through for the past year was a lie. His stomach began to ache again, but resisted and continued on.

Rias: Oh, Issei, the food in the kitchen is ready for you.

Issei, never meeting their eyes: O...k

He entered the kitchen and when no one could see him, he went back to focusing on the ground.

Issei, in an empty tone: 'Ddraig?'

Ddraig, with hatred in his voice: It is Vritra

Issei: 'Oh...I see' - falling to a knee and beginning to cry again.

However, the crying left as quickly as it began.

Issei, with hatred in his tone: 'That...damn bastard'

Ddraig was going to say something, but Issei stood up from the floor and began to leave the kitchen with his hair covering his eyes.

Asia: Issei-san - she began but was interrupted.

Issei, dryly: I'm not hungry, I'm going to my room - proceeding to head for the stairs, but he heightened his hearing to pick up their conversation.

The girls were surprised by Issei's behavior, but downplayed it.

Rias: So Asia, how was Saji?

Asia, blushing at the question: It was incredible - while showing a dreamy smile.

Rias: I see and thanks to your sacred gear, we can walk as if nothing happened.

Akeno: It's true, Vali was a bit rough for our first time, but your sacred gear helped with all that - blushing from her own experience.

What they did not know is that Issei heard it all from the stairs.

Issei: 'Did you get all of that?'

Ddraig, with venom in his voice: I did - very much disgusted by the girls, knowing all that his partner has done, saving the wretched nun from that fallen angel, saving a spoiled brat from a womanizer, but that proved to be a mistake, since she's nothing more than a whore, along with that ungrateful hybrid and street cat.

Issei: 'Let's go' - carrying on to his room, he opened the door and closed it, locking it for safe measure, he began coughing furiously, he covered his mouth with his hand to muffle the sound. Once he finished coughing, he removed his hand to see blood on it.

Ddraig: Partner

Issei, emotionless: 'Ddraig, have you finished yet?'

Ddraig: Partner, I... - he was interrupted by Issei.

Issei: 'Yes or no'

Ddraig, knowing there was no going back: It is not 100% complete, but for the moment, you can use it at 70% capacity.

Issei, with a slight smile: Ok, and Ddraig, thank you - grabbing a pair of headphones from his desk, he proceeded to leave his room.

He headed towards the elevator that was installed in the mansion and pressed the button for the training room. This room was a white room, which could be modified, but Issei didn't care about that. He walked to the center of the room and covered his leg in crimson energy and stomped it on the ground. This produced a magic circle that looked like a pentagram and expanded 40 meters around Issei.

Seeing this, for the first time in a while, Issei smiled a little bit, putting on his headphones, his dragon energy reduced as the gravity increased. This did not alarm Issei, smiling superiorly as two figures made of crimson energy emerged from the ground. The first one seemed to have mechanical wings, while the other seemed to have a gauntlet that looked like a chameleon and some leg greaves on, both figures resembling Vali Lucifer and Genshirou Saji. With a smile still on his face, he thanks his partner again and hits play on his headphones.

Running at the copy of Vali, he kicked him in the stomach, forcing it backwards. From behind, he dodged a blow from the Saji copy, grabbing the arm that was used against him, Issei gave the Saji copy a knee to the face, followed up with a roundhouse kick, sending it back. Looking back at his original target, he grabbed the leg of the Vali copy and dragged it towards him, stamping a knee on its chest and proceeded to beat its face in, if it was made of flesh and blood, it would have been a bloodied mess and practically unrecognizable.

Issei: Bastard of Lucifer - hearing footsteps, he looks over to see the Saji copy running back at him.

The copy jumped and tried to kick Issei in the head, only for Issei to move off the beaten Vali copy and roll away from the kick. This only fueled Issei's thrill of the "fight" and laughed to himself.

Issei: 'Hehe, traitorous scum, I'm going to massacre you' - with that smile of superiority still plastered on his face.

The beaten Vali copy got back up, but repaired from the damage that it received and it and the Saji copy ran at Issei. Issei's burned a brilliant amber, once again, dodging both fists that came at him. He grabbed their heads and slammed both copies to the ground.

Issei: 'Pathetic, only good for sleeping with women of others, dishonorable excuses for dragons.' - but the smile turned from superior to ruthless, his eyes began to well up in tears, but the tears evaporated from the fire that burned from his eyes as well - 'Hehe, I'm going to enjoy ripping you apart.'

Issei made good on that promise, considering that the copies were made of energy, they would regenerate to good condition, every time Issei pulverized, dismembered, eviscerated, and beat down the copies throughout the night, without the use of his dragon powers and as for the girls, they were none the wiser, not knowing the one that they proclaimed to love was slowly turning against them, he would never be there for them, they can enjoy their "fun times" now, but those times would be the start of their reckoning.

THE END.
