OK, here it is, how are you all by the way, how long has it been since I updated this, sorry I don't know.

So here we are, no almost half way through May the fifth month of the year, shit it's going fast.

Now without further delay here is the chapter

Please review no flaming.

Chapter Seven

The first thing Issei thought when he woke up was "What a frigging drag, I got to what, go to class after I just like saved everyone."

He slowly got up and became very away of the constant knocking on his door. He looked down and sighed, he had not got changed "Sigh such a drag."

He thought this as he changed his cloths and now opened the door to find that it was none other than Gengo Aoi at his door.

Issei blinked and then asked "So, you here for a reason, or can I assume that you are just that you decided to pay me a visit."

To this the old man raised his eyebrow and then asked "You know why I am here."

To this Issei shook his head "No, I have no idea why you are here, if you don't mind I probably need to get to class, I mean it is like almost time for it."

Now Gengo looked confused "Um, it's the weekend, you know that don't you?"

Issei blinked and then said "Oh yeah, you have that here now don't you, so if this is like my day off, can you, you know leave me alone?"

Gengo sighed, no matter how smart or mature the boy was, when he wanted to be, he was a lazy git.

"It is a matter of utmost concern."

Gengo said this as he looked over his back and then back to Issei.

Now Issei sighed "Concern for you or me, also why'd you look over your back, I mean, I'm not that bad that I won't tell you if you're about to be attack."

Issei now looked at Gengo and his posture changed, his laid back lazy side was gone from his features.

"They are still after you aren't they?"

To this Gengo gave him a nod and said "That is correct, but it would seem they are not only targeting me."

To this Issei gave him a nod and said "I would assume they are targeting anyone of value to you or anyone who knows you?"

Gengo had to look a little impressed at the boys assessment of the situation he was able to tell him who the targets were and why.

"If you don't mind me asking, how are you able to assess a situation the way you just did?"

To this Issei replied "A little bit of field work can go along way, so what about a years in it?"

It was rhetorical and Gengo gave a nod to say that he got his point.

"They must believe that you are rebelling, or that you are currently a threat to their power, or perhaps both and more."

He now stepped out of the his room and closed the door "What did you get out of that man?"

To this Gengo shook his head "Nothing, he claims that he is acting independent of Chevalier."

To this Issei gave a rather dark laugh, what does a beast move without it's head, I think not."

Gengo had to agree with that but said "We cannot prove it yet, it would require a confession from him.

To this Issei gave him an even darker smile "My dear doctor, I would have you know that I am one of the experts in mental torture, if you permit I will make him confess?"

Those words made the old man a little uneasy the offer itself was tempting but it had to wait.

"As tempting as your offer is, I'd like for you to do me a different favour."

To this Issei narrowed his eyes, he was sure that the man would accept his offer. "I have arranged for my grandson to arrive here early."

Issei did not get why he was telling him this so he asked "What, do you want me to be his friend or something?"

To this he shook his head "No I just request that you watch out for him, I am aware that there is also a group within Chevalier, that is killing off or taking hostages."

Issei knew about this due to Elizabeth, he also knew he needed to find this person to win her favour.

"So what, when he gets here, you want me to look out for him, but since he won't be in school, where will he be staying?"

Issei sighed as the answer crossed his mind and Gengo too knew that he understood this.

"So you want me rather than befriend he to what babysit him?" To this Gengo gave a slight nod.

"Well in a sense yes, since he is of my blood, he will be a target, also, may I ask what are you intents with Miss Fairchild?"

To this Issei rolled his eyes and said "It is she who has um, what is that word, oh yeah, agenda's with me." Even to Gengo this made no sense at all.

"I don't follow?" Gengo said this to Issei as he was not clear why or how Miss Fairchild could be blackmailing him.

"Um, let's just say I owe her and decided to pay it off rather than kill here, yes let's leave it at that."

Gengo now saw that this was at least one thing that Issei was actually felt rather awkward about.

Gengo decided to push one in before he stopped by asking "Are you two involved?"

To this Issei replied "Oh yes most definitely, we are involved with one another."

Now no normal man would have been able to pick up on the small little tinge of sarcasm in his voice.

"I see, well then I'll leave it at that then."

To this Issei yawned and asked "Why does it seem like I am picking up all your messes?" To this Gengo replied "Know that it is appreciated, Issei Hyoudou."

Issei gave a sigh and closed the door, he had all day now to play his games.

Then it hit him "I don't have a PC in here!"

Ten Minutes later

Issei was now walking down a corridor with Chiffon at his arm and Ticy walking beside them both.

"Ah, so you want to get a computer, you could have said so, now it looks like Chiffon has got you to go shopping with us."

Issei gave a very loud sigh as he thought "My day of playing Clannad and Tomoyo After, ruined curse you Red Dragon!"

He made sure to give his best smile to any who looked at him.

"Well shit, at least I'll be able to get a computer or laptop at least."

He now looked to Ticy for help, if she was Chiffon's friend she would know how to get Chiffon to stop.

"Chiffon, um I think you're making Hyoudou feel a little uneasy?"

Ticy as this as Chiffon just shook her head and said "Nope, Issei does not mind this at all."

Ticy's eyes lit up in awe, had she just called The Dormant Nightmare by his first name!

"Are you two, you know, um dating, for real?"

Chiffon gave a happy nod of her head and said "Yes we are, are you jealous of me Ticy."

At these words Issei's sharp tongue returned as he said "No I believe she is jealous of me, getting you all to myself, even when you have your cloths on?"

Now all who heard this had to make a grab at their brains that just exploded out of their heads.

Had he just told them all that he and The Smiling Monster had been together naked.

Ticy took he step back, she closed her eyes but she could still see it.

The image of Issei and Chiffon naked together, it was too much for her and she fell down with a slight nose bleed.

Issei looked at Chiffon who have a rather cheerful giggle and said "Oh well, looks like Ticy is unable to come with us, so maybe now we can go out and you know-."

As if these were the magic words Ticy sprung back up and said "What no, I'm fine there is no way that I'm going to let you two go to a Love Hotel!"

Issei looked at her and raised an eyebrow, he knew that Chiffon must have been leading up to this so that Ticy would snap back up like that. But he could not help but troll Ticy at this time.

"Dear Ticy, do you propose to join us, I myself am not a fan but if Chiffon demands it I-."

Chiffon had increased her grip on his arm that made hem turn to look at her as she said "Dear, I believe you should stop you're turning my dear friend scarlet."

Issei then gave a polite laugh and said "Well then I shall, but tomorrow is another day."

This had been a good display, it showed them that he did have a playful side, many of them would still be shaken up from the fact that he had all but terminated those Pandora last night.

At least today he would have a chance to play Clannad, he hoped.

"I'll just have to tow the line and they'll take me to a computer store."

Issei stopped as they neared the exit of the school and Chiffon and Ticy both looked at him.

"Well shit, I just recalled a problem, I don't know if you guy's will accept my currency."

Both of them put their hands to their mouths in an attempt not to laugh.

Issei gave a sigh and said "You know what, you two go and get me one, I'll pay you back in any way that I can."

Ticy almost fell down again with these words, while Chiffon gave a dark giggle.

"Did I hear you say any way?"

To this Issei gave a sigh and said "Yes, yes you did."

Her smile told him all that he needed to know, it also told Ticy all she needed to know.

"Hey, I also wanted to ask him to you know do some stuff for me?"

Issei sighed and said "You know, if you say it like that everyone will get the wrong impression of you, I mean to say, that you trying to steal a man away from the smiling monster?"

When he said it like that it did sound kind of stupid to even to her.

She blushed madly at this, Chiffon noticed and just had to ask "You haven't fallen for Issei have you, that would be very bad, trying to steal your best friends man right out from under her nose?"

To this Issei gave a slight cough and said "More like above her eyelids."

The Smiling Monster landed a punch straight into Issei's stomach, he want back a little, but in general was not really hurt at all.

Then the sweetness of his brilliant mind gave him an idea so sweet, he had to try it.

He now stood up and spoke to Chiffon.

"Now, now, if you were physically frustrated you need only say so, I would be more than happy to relieve you of some of that stress."

Now the way he said it was he could be offering to either train with her or have sex with her.

Chiffon knew after about thirty seconds of silence that he did so on purpose.

Still smiling with her squinted eyes she said "You really are true to the name the Dormant Nightmare, but are you a nightmare in bed."

She winded at him, as much of a wink she was capable of, she thought she had tipped the scales on him.

But Issei was not just a regular sharp tongued young man, the complex thoughts he had in battle could not be followed or described and this was a battle of a kind.

"Oh your words wound me so dearest, are you truly that desperate to have a taste of my true magnificence, in all it's bare glory?"

He had used the most charming and honeyed voice he could, it had made all Pandora and even some limiters blush as they heard the lines he spoke.

Even Chiffon's cheeks turned a little red for all of a second, but this was long enough for Ticy to see it and exclaim.

"Hah, you try to make me feel as if I have fallen for him, when the truth is that you the Smiling Monster have found it in your heart to have a crush."

Issei closed his eyes and gave a very loud cough to bring their attention back to him.

Speaking as politely as he could he said "Now, it is not that I don't appreciate your help, but so far we have not even moved out of the school."

He now turned his head to the sky "I would like it very much if we get out and get a computer, though I will leave you two behind."

They both looked at him and asked "Then how will you pay for it?"

To this Issei cast them a rather menacing smile as he said "I don't intend to, I am sure that they will give it willingly to me."

The two Pandora looked at each other then back to Issei and said in unison "You're evil you know Hyoudou?"

To this Issei shook his head and said "No not evil, you see, I don't go enforcing my beliefs on others, nor do I go around inflicting pain or attacking people who have not wronged me."

Both of them looked a little sceptical at him so he added "Fine, fine I'll do it legally, but you know quite a few bad guys I know have the resources to do illegal things legally."

Ticy then asked "Is that your view on life then Hyoudou?"

Issei rolled his eyes and said very sincerely "Um no, I made that up on the spot if you're asking, yes I am a very good actor, try and guess the real me if you can."

Ticy was about to open her mouth to guess when Chiffon answered it for her "The real you is the one in battle, the one who fought those four, the one who toyed with them."

To this Issei just smiled back at her and said "From a certain point of view, you could be partly correct or not."

Issei realised that he had just pissed off Chiffon, for he had basically said "Believe what you wish."

He also knew what was about to come next, so he took a step back.

"Where are you going darling, you and I had a deal, did with not."

Her voice was sweet and calm, too sweet and Issei knew that if he did run he would just wind up in more trouble.

He could use his Sharingan that'd be a waste right now, he had used up much energy in the fight, being smart and narky at those four.

Ticy looked at her friend now back to Issei and asked "Um, what are you two talking about?"

She took another step forward menacingly and Issei on reflex took a step back.

"Hey, now, I did not say it, did I?"

To this she sweetly tilted her head as approached him, he could feel her breath upon his face as she whispered so sweetly "You might as well have."

It was at this moment were she tilted her head back and leaned in and gave him a kiss on his lips.

Ticy who saw this fell down, her nose was bleeding out from the image she must have had in her mind.

Issei tried not to focus on the sensation, though he did not mind it at all.

"Well shit there goes my first kiss, well I can't say I don't deserve this and to you readers no, I don't mean I earned it as a reward!"

As Chiffon now pulled away she tweaked his nose and said "Now that wasn't so bad was it, though I have to say you are a little inexperienced."

To this Issei gave a sigh and said "You have no room to talk no room at all."

She smiled again at him and said "So have you learned your lesson."

To this Issei gave a small smirk being his smart ass self said "Yeah, we should kiss more often and with more people who are watching us."

He was aware that people had some how appeared and were taking photo's of them.

Chiffon sighed, she knew she would have to take care of this before it got out two far, but she saw that all of a sudden they were deleting the images.

She turned back to Issei to ask him what was going on but he placed a hand over both her eyes and said "Try not to look at me right now."

She gave him a nod and turned away to look at her friend who had passed out from a nosebleed.

She then saw that the people were all walking away.

She turned back to Issei and asked "What did you do to them."

She saw him rub his eyes as they watered up and Issei said "I did what I should have done to you, but hey, they think that it was nothing and all evidence was destroyed."

She now looked at him and said "You know, when you want to be you're a genius without equal, also when you wish to be your an ass hole without compare."

To this Issei smiled at her and gave a small chuckle as he said "I believe the same can be said of you, can it not?"

She in reply gave a small giggle and looked down at Ticy who was passed out for real.

"It looks like she's passed out for real no?"

Issei gave her a nod picked her up vanished then reappeared.

"I put her in the classroom, we can leave now."

Again she gave a giggle and presented her hand to him and said "Only if we can hold hands."

Giving a sigh Issei gave up and sad "Fine, but you're buying the computer got it."

She just laughed and said "Totally worth it."

In a secret room

A group of faceless individuals met, they all knew the purpose of the meeting, it was to discuss why 'Kill the Cat' had failed.

"The reports we've received there all from Gengo's side." A man with the card of the king spoke as he sighed.

A woman with the queen's card answered him "Yes, though they all leave out the ones or one who was involved with dealing with the four busters."

All in the room gave murmurs of agreement, it was true that had happened.

"Do you believe it was that outsider, the one who calls himself Issei Hyoudou?" A man with the Jack's card said this as he pushed forth a file with a blurred picture on it.

"From the reports we received from West Genetics, it would appear to be so." The Queen said this, there was clear disdain in her voice about what had just happened.

"One of them is at large still, she had not returned to us, we must assume that she is hiding from him."

The King said this with some form of confidence before the woman with the Joker card corrected him.

"One can assume that he let her live at that she now serves him, the reports also say that one other was spared but is in the care of West Genetics."

The King spoke out against her, he was visibly irritated with her "That may be so, can we not just take her from them, to be placed under our supervision?"

The Jack spoke out now in an urgent tone "All reports agree that Gengo has so knowledge about the attack, he must have been informed that Phantomime was involved."

"If that is the case we may all be compromised and we will be revealed to the whole of Chevalier." The Queen said this calmly, but any could tell that she was fuming on the inside.

The Joker spoke again her tone now was mocking the King "You know you could go ahead and do that, I am sure we will all appreciate you taking the fall for us."

To this the King stood up in the darkness and said "Shut your mouth whore, you are just as much a part of it as any of us!"

The Jack at this point gave a short and fake laugh saying "If any and all the report about this Issei Hyoudou are true then we have stepped on the dragon's tail."

It was at this point the last member of the group a man with the card of Ace said "If that is the case, then we should pull back for now and wait, the dragon may be willing to help us later on."

It was at this point the Queen bit back and said "You assume too much for all we know this Issei Hyoudou may be a result of some unholy matrimony of Gengo Aoi's."

None of spoke out against her but now spoke with her, it was a possibility for this.

The Jack now spoke again "Do we still have to hostages to keep our supporters in check?"

The Ace spoke again "Yes I believe we do, though are agents heard that Elizabeth Mably tried to gain this Issei Hyoudou's support in mind a family member."

The Queen now asked curiously "His answer, it was no, but they could have spoken when there was no others around."

To this the King spoke out again and said "That is not possible, we have had Chiffon Fairchild on his case the entire time."

The Joker laughed, but this was real and she said "That may be the case, but is she on our side, or her own."

Again the room was ripe with the murmurs of this secret council. "I have a report that Gengo has Radox, though it is the only one to say so."

All eyes in the room turned to where the unseen Ace was seated.

"If that is true, we know that Gengo is on to us, that is not good for us." The Queen said this, her voice was worried as were the rest of them.

"I have knowledge that he has moved his grandson from his location to be at West Genetics."

The Jack said this and gave a sigh "It seems our last leverage against him as slipped through our fingers."

The Ace spoke now addressing the Jack "I am inclined to agree with you, it would seem that Gengo knows about us already, which means that Radox must have talked."

All in the room shuddered at that, they knew what Gengo was capable of, they also knew what Radox must have been put through by him.

"Issei Hyoudou, I believe we have mistaken him for a wild card I believe that he in not a card in play, but a player, that is the only reason why we're losing this badly to Gengo."

The Queen said this, she was just speculating, but she found that the other were inclined to agree with her.

"I fear that you are right, he is indeed a player, if that is the case, we will need a new strategy." The King said this with a very heavy sigh all of them were here for one reason, to eliminate Gengo Aoi.

At this moment it time it would appear that they have bitten off way more than tehy could chew.

"It would seem that luck is not on our side and Gengo and this new player hold all the wild cards."

The Joker said this cautiously she must have been testing the waters to see how the other would react to this.

She knew that they were all on the same side, but even they did not share what cards they had.

"It would appear to be, but I am rather sure that Issei Hyoudou holds the wilds why Gengo Aoi holds the trumps."

All were able to see the Aces point, they all knew it "I believe that we are done here, shall we leave." All of them had to agree with the Jack, they were done for now, but tomorrow was another day.

How was it, be noted I did spend about 13 hours on this so please don't be too harsh on me.

Also I promise that I will get to solving Elizabeth's problem next chapter, just needed to cool down that is all.
