Withered spirit -compleated

calm before the storm

Issei sat in front of Sirzechs Grayfia and Rossweisse and thought to himself

Issei: "What name would be a good fit as much as Hyoudou is my blood name I left the family for good reason and I didn't plan on going back anytime soon I don't trust them"

it then dawned on him the change he should make it was a name that he didn't mind and it sounded nice He opened his eyes and looked at them

issei: how does issei Lucifuge sound?

he had a small smile on his face and so did the others, Sirzechs walked up to him and rested his hand on top of issei's head

sirzechs: I now welcome you into the family Lucifuge

issei felt a wave of energy wash over him and once it was done Grayfia came to hug him with what surprised all of them she had a smile on her face he returned the hug.

Grayfia: (smiling) I have a new brother

she began to swing a bit in her hug and he hugged her tightly

issei: thank you for having me I won't bring pity to name and only glory

Rossweisse: are you happy with the name ise?

She was supportive of him but with recent conversations, she wanted to know if this wasn't something he was going to regret later

Issei: no it's the right choice, I have no regrets and plus it's made someone very happy

He gestured to Grayfia hugging him, he started to pry himself away from Grayfia's grasp but it was hopeless she tightened her grip on him

Sirzechs: don't try and run now you are in for it once you are in her grasp she not going to let go of you she hasn't had a new family member in a while so this is the best thing for her plus my wife never acts like this so it's nice to see her heart warm up a bit

as he said this, she claimed she would cut him down if he didn't ruin the moment, Rossweisse got up and decided to make tea for the devil king and the others after a few minutes yasaka and kouno came by because they felt the power in the area and came to check it out and joined them for tea

issei and Sirzechs stepped outside for some air and had a small talk on the balcony

issei: I never thought I would be part of another family like this if im being fairly honest

Sirzechs: it's natural but if you don't mind me asking why Lucifuge I have no issues with it just curious as to why you had a lot of options to pick from, I mean even serafall came and offered you a place before she left again

he stated while drinking his tea. Issei looked at him and gave him a small smile

issei: it wasn't an easy one, I thought about it, you and she have always treated me like I was part of the family and never made me feel outcasted but in the end my choice was simple if people heard I joined Gremory or bale then it might make them think I married someone in the house so I went with one of the more quiet families so it is on the low for a bit, my life is crazy now and I'm trying to make it work the best I can I don't need a lot of the underworld asking 50 million questions just yet

issei spoke calmly and it made a lot of sense to Sirzechs he is still just a kid and his life drastically changed in the blink of an eye so it was normal to feel this type of way

sirzechs: like I said I have no issue with it just curious is all, hey I have something I want you to look into for me 

he stated in a semi-serious tone, issei knows that it's not always a good time in the underworld every other day there is a problem that needs to be fixed to balance out the power of everything and everyone
