In Issei mind

Issei found himself in his mind as Driag was looking at him waiting for him to speak.

Issei spoke, "Hey Driag. Thanks for the talk."

Driag had a grin on its face and spoke, "Well your my host and a friend. I'm surprised that you didn't went insane. Most of my host who suffered betrayal either they kill their harem or left them entirely and killed themselves. You still have part of your harem but the others can be replace with new ones."

"Yeah, but I don't mind if one girl stayed with me." Issei spoke.

"Watch it Issei. Don't get discouraged. You still can fix yourself which is not too late. I mean you are a pervert but in time you'll manage it." Driag spoke.

Issei sat and crossed his legs and spoke, "Hey Driag. Was it worth it?"

Driag was confused Issei question and asked, "What do you mean partner?"

Issei had his face covered with his bangs and responded, "Was it worth the fame? Was it worth everything I done? Am I worthy to be the red dragon Emperor that everyone feared now just a face of the supernatural. Would they say the red dragon Emperor is known as a oppai dragon? It too late to fix your honor, dignity and respect you once had over time. I a perverted devil that within a year I destroyed your reputation."

Driag was silent looking at Issei and responded with a calm voice, "At first when you were known as the curse title. I was in shock and disbelief. Now I'm depressed. It stills hurts my pride. There time to fix it. You and I are partners either we like it or not you are red dragon Emperor who never back down, fight for his friends and love ones. Another thing stop being depressed! This is my depression! I'm here stuck in this sacred gear for countless years! Seeing my hosts die in fights or gone mad with power!" Driag shouted at the end.

Issei spoke with apologize tone, "Yeah. Your right Driag. Maybe I was feeling in the moment."

Then Issei left his dream and slowly woke up. He see the girls hugging him tightly. Issei started to straightened the girls hair with his gentle touch.

Issei decided to speak to Driag, "Hey Driag."

There was no response from Driag but Issei started to get worried for Driag but felt Driag is still with him.

Issei spoke, "Maybe I pushed Driag buttons."

Xenovia, Irina and Rossweisse started to wake up from their sleep. They saw Issei awake

Xenovia spoke with a small smile, "How are you feeling Issei?"

Issei responded, "I'm okay."

Then Irina spoke while hugging Issei arm, "Issei we're here for you."

Issei spoke, "Thanks. We need to go to school since it's Monday."

The girls nodded and they magicly changed their clothes into their school uniforms.

Rossweisse spoke, "I'll go ahead first since I'm a teacher."

Rossweisse left the hotel and headed to school. After an hour Issei and the girls left for school. Before they were in school Irina got inside of Issei house and grabbed their school bags and extra clothes for Issei to change.

As they were heading to school Irina and Xenovia noticed how quiet is Issei. Also he wasn't looking at the girls chest. It seems Issei was lost in thought.

Once they entered the school grounds the students looked at Issei with death glare knowing he was pervert also walking with beautiful girls next to him, but that day was different. They noticed that Issei was giving a gloomly aura.

Some students were whispering to each other like, "Issei is giving a gloomy look. What do think it happened to him?"

They headed to class as usual Issei sat in the of the classroom. His two friends went to greet him.

Motohama spoke, "Sup Issei got any plans for today?"

Issei responded, "No."

Then Matsuda spoke, "Bro you giving a depressing vibe. You good?"

Issei looks at his two friends and responded, "Yeah just had a bad night."

Motohama spoke, "Don't worry I got the perfect medicine for depression. It the limited porn magazine."

Motohama took out the magazine out of his bag. The girls in the classroom were giving death glares at the boys.

One of the girls spoke, "Gross. What great way to start the week."

Motohama place the magazine on Issei desk showing a sexy woman on the magazine. Issei looked at it and took magazine to Motohama.

Issei spoke, "I'm not in the mood for it."

The people in the classroom were shocked that Issei turned down the offer usually Issei get excited for it. Xenovia and Irina were bit worried for Issei. As Asia were nervously looking at Issei.

Not long after the class started for the day. As the class was in session Asia tried to speak with Irina and Xenovia but the girls ignored Asia.

As lunch rolled around Issei left the classroom to eat at the cafeteria. Irina and Xenovia followed Issei to keep him accompany. Issei sat one of the tables and grabbed food from the cafeteria.

Then Issei noticed Irina and Xenovia sat at his table.

Xenovia spoke, "You still hurt."

Issei responded, "I want to move on but it hurts. Well I didn't make the first move when I had a chance."

Irina spoke with a frown face, "Don't beat yourself with that mindset. What done is done. You still have you have us."

Issei spoke with a small smile, "True. It'll take time to recover. I couldn't imagine that Vali did it. I here a virgin."

Xenovia spoke, "Issei careful with your words only that it'll keep you from moving on."

Issei simply nodded as he was about eat his lunch. He felt his stomach pain and wanting throw up.

"Issei can we talk?" Asia spoke.

Issei looks at Asia and started to back away from her.

Issei responded, "I can't."

Asia was wanting to cry on the spot but spoke, "Please Issei."

Asia started to move closer to Issei as Issei can feel the effects. Then Irina pulled Issei out of table and placed herself in front of Issei.

Irina spoke trying to be nice, "Asia. I need you to leave Issei alone."

Asia spoke, "But..."

Xenovia butted in and spoke, "Don't make anything worse than it is. Asia."

Asia could only back off with teary eyes. Then Asia left with tears.

Issei spoke, "Thanks Irina, Xenovia."

Irina spoke, "Don't worry Issei. I have questions. Why you looked wanting throw up?"

Issei responded, "I'm part dragon. As Vali is welding Albion when Vali did the deed. It tells me to not get closer especially we are rivals. Driag explained it to me."

Xenovia spoke as they began to eat their lunch, "What if you mark us?"

Irina started to blush to hear her friend suggestion. Issei was lost in thought.

After a minute Issei responded, "Not now."

After the group were done with lunch. They headed to class wanting to finish their day. Rossweisse came to the classroom as their last teacher of the day. Rossweisse looked at Issei with sympathy.

As the class continues Issei was trying to speak with Driag multiple times, but Driag didn't respond. Issei heard that Driag was asleep and cut the connection with Issei as if wanting to be alone.

Issei spoke in his mind, "Well. There nothing I can do but wait for Driag to calm down."

As the class ended everyone left Asia had to head the occult club. Issei was not wanting to go the club but he is still a pawn of Rias.

Issei, Xenovia, Irina and Rossweisse headed to the club room.

Irina spoke encouraging Issei, "Don't worry we're here for you."

Issei took courage and knocked on the club room door.

They heard a voice, "Come in."
