Ise Shrine located in Ise City, Honshū, Japan
Reappearing within the shrine, Amasterasu sighed as she placed the sword down onto the ground, making sure to hide it. As she looked around the shrine, Amaterasu lowered her eyes, gaining a saddened look on her face.
"I can sense him. My sweet little sun. But now is not the time to meet him. Not yet."
Placing her hand on her chest, Amaterasu closed her eyes as her solar aura covered her entirely, allowing her to transmit away.
The Occult Research Club
"HE'S WITH WHO?!"
Tsubaki, Sona, and Akeno winced at the shrill tone of Rias's voice. After seeing Issei and Ophis at the store, Tsubaki quickly made it back just in time to tell her master and Rias. Needless to say, Rias wasn't exactly taking it well.
"He's...he's with Oph-"
"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! How could Ophis find him?! WHY did Ophis find him?!" Rias screamed as she interrupted Tsubaki.
She received only shrugs from her fellow Devils. Rias clutched her forehead and collapsed into her chair.
Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God, and the Ouroboros Dragon. It was one of the strongest beings in the Universe. And it was hanging out with Issei of all people?!
Sona sighed as she fixed her glasses.
"And now, we have yet another reason we have to separate ourselves from Issei Hyoudou. We certainly do not want to anger the Dragon God."
Rias sighed and looked over at Tsubaki.
"What did Issei do when you came in contact with him?"
"He didn't do anything. After he retrieved my shopping list, he did not speak to me at all. Ophis spoke to me, though."
At the last sentence, Rias, Akeno, and Sona gave Tsubaki their undivided attention.
"What did it say?" Akeno asked.
Tsubaki felt a little uneasy as she remembered Ophis's words.
"It said, that Issei Hyoudou belonged to it. As though it had already claimed him."
Rias palmed her face and sighed tiredly.
"Unbelievable. Out of all the people Issei could have come in contact with, it just had to be Ophis."
"He certainly is an interesting boy." Sona said.
Next Day (Issei's Room)
"My Issei. Why, do you have to go?"
Issei noticed that Ophis has been referring to him with the word "My" before his own name. And in his opinion, he didn't mind it.
Issei rubbed his eyes tiredly as he put on his book bag.
"I have school today, Ophis. I can't just stay home forever."
"I, do not like that. Not, at all."
Issei sighed as he turned to look at Ophis, who was sitting on his bed. The Ouroboros Dragon was still in her adult form, and was giving Issei her usual emotionless expression. Issei resisted the urge to smile as he thought he saw a flash of a pout on her face. In her adult form, her dark-gray eyes looked less child-like in appearance, and more sharp and narrowed.
'Man. When she's in this form, her voice sounds really different. Obviously her voice is deeper now, but still...man, her voice is different. Huh...I kind of like it.'
"I'll be back, Ophis. I promise. And hey, look at it this way. As soon as I leave school, I can bring you back something."
Ophis tilted her head at Issei's suggestion.
"Bring, me something?"
Issei smiled as he fixed his book bag.
"Yeah. Is there something you'd like?"
"...I, like doughnuts, cookies."
The young man rose an eyebrow at Ophis's answer, but then he smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
"You got it. Doughnuts and cookies."
Ophis tilted her head as she watched Issei walk out of his room, and she remained on top of his bed.
Seconds later, she got up from the bed and walked over to the window, seeing Issei rush out of the door. Issei looked up from his spot, seeing Ophis looking out of his window. Nodding and smiling to her, Issei gave Ophis a thumbs-up.
The Ouroboros Dragon tilted her head again, and she lifted her hand up, mimicking Issei's thumbs up gesture.
"I'll be back, Ophis!"
And with that, the young man rushed on his way to school, leaving Ophis at his room window. Watching him leave, Ophis put her hand on the glass window, looking at her reflection.
"My Issei."
Kuoh Academy
Issei sighed as he sat at his desk. On his way to school, he could sense the numerous energies of the Devils. He could tell that some of them involved the members of the Occult Research Club and Student Council.
Yuuto Kiba and Genshirou Saji.
Issei had to admit, he was a little surprised when he discovered that Yuuto and Saji were Devils. And honestly, that troubled him slightly. Because of Riser, Issei's opinion of Devils had lowered greatly. And the fact that Yuuto and Saji, who Issei had considered as light acquaintances, were Devils, that conflicted with him.
Regardless, Issei still didn't trust the Devils at all. Since Yuuto and Saji seemed like the only Devils who had not troubled him at all, and were actually pleasant to him, he would go by his own rule.
'If they don't bother me, I won't bother them. It's that simple.'
No sense in killing an innocent Devil who had no way of being involved in his own life.
Issei chuckled a bit.
'Innocent Devil. That's an oxymoron.'
He looked over to the empty desk next to him.
'Hmm...Yuuma-san's not here.'
"Ok, class!"
The students in the classroom ceased in their chatting as they looked at the teacher. Issei rose an eyebrow, wondering what was so important. The teacher smiled as she looked at her students, and walked over to the door.
"We have a new student here today! Please make her feel welcome!"
The teacher opened the door, allowing the new student to walk in. Issei widened his eyes at the familiar person, and then he narrowed them darkly.
'Why am I not surprised?'
It was a well-endowed young woman of Chinese descent with shoulder-length black hair and blue-green eyes. Her hair had two Chinese-style buns on both sides of her head. She was dressed in the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, which hugged her figure.
