author's note: this is a continuation of the story "Love Potion" by Killah883. He gave me permit as I explained it seemed unfinished to me. So I tried and make this close to his lvl or even better.

Chapter 1:the pain.

Since the day of Koneko's passing the Occult Research Club as resumed daily duties of contracts and killing stray devils, but after every battle with battle or contract he would visit Koneko's grave and talk to her. it being a one sided conversation he would always break down crying wishing by some way she would come back and lay in his arms again like she used to.

Today was anther non-eventful day. Execpt for the usual stray devil trying to cause mayhem. This time she was rather powerful since they couldn't fight well in doors. With out Koneko to throw them out to the open for akeno, they had to manage inside. Rias giving her orders Issei was a little slow reacting this time around as he got little sleep from crying all night. after the devil was defeated and Asia healed everyone Rias slapped Issei.

"Did that wake you up?!" she said in a master like/ worried tone.

"Yeah i'm fine Prez... If you dont mind i would like to go home now." he said looking down at the floor pain obvious in his eyes.

Rias just looks at Issei with worried looks and nods at his request. As he is out of sight the club just looks worried.

"He hasn't been the same has he?" Kiba said

"Sigh... No he barley even eats breakfast now... I'm getting worried about him, if he is this depressed I hope he won't try something that would hurt him." Replied Rias

"I will follow him Prez to make sure he gets home safe, you can count on me" Akeno said

"Thank you Akeno. Please everything that you see to me, good or bad I wanna know what he does, he says he goes home but he isn't home till midnight at the latest. He doesn't even eat the dinner Asia and I leave out for him when he gets home." she replied

As everyone goes there separate ways Akeno goes to follow Issei, it all seemed normal until she was shocked where he went. It was a cemetery made for devils that die of natural causes. She see's him go to a grave a fall on his knee's in tears and talks.

"Koneko we got anther stray devil today, and Asia healed everyone like normal. I wish you were there to help us, she was really tough... and... I miss you so much, I truly do... I love you so much, even when your potion wore off 3 days before your death you wanted to stay near me. And even though I was only ordered to be with you cause of Rias, When we got t know each other I fell in love with you. I... I want you by my-side again Koneko i don't care if you hit me over and over again like usual again I just want you here, i want to wake up and see you smile at me again. I miss going to the park with you and laying on the bench. I even miss carrying you home as you slept on my back. I hope you are happy, in hell or where ever you went. So please... please wait for me. " he finished and got up to his feet still crying he went the opposite direction of his house. He heard sniffling and hitched breath behind him. He didn't care he went on his way towards his destination.

When he arrived it was a familiar lace for Issei. He went to a bench and layed down in the position he always would. Akeno figured this was the bench he was talking about started to crying a little more seeing how badly Issei is in pain. after about 30 minutes he got up and walked even farther from the house towards a pool with the depth of a maximum of 9 ft. he started to unbutton and take off all his cloths and stared at the pool. he then whispered to where Akeno could barley hear him.

"I'm sorry Asia, Rias, Akeno, and even to you Kiba, but I won't be part of the club anymore. I will miss you all, but It hurts to much. I'm sorry Koneko I couldn't get over you like you asked me to. Please forgive me." he finished and had his arms out in a cross formation leaning forward as he was going in to the pool. Akeno thought he was just going for a swim (kind of like a denial state hoping he wouldn't actually kill him self) but Issei didn't resurface after 10 seconds. Akeno rushed over to pull Issei out of the deep end of the pool.

After pulling him out he wasn't coughing up water like he normally should have so she preformed CPR, which made Issei cough up the water and look grogerly at the figure before him. when he realized who it was he eyes widened akeno shushed him before he could ask anything. He then realized she was crying. When she removed her finger he finally spoke up.

"Akeno? What are you doing here?" he said still coughing a little bit.

She didn't say anything but hug him and cry even harder. Issei, just being in shock, did what he normally does out of habit and hugs akeno.

Meanwhile at Issei's house Rias was searching though his room to find any indication where he goes. She finds a note and opens it it, she gasps at the contents as a few stray tears run down face. She rushes over to Asia's room to show her. Not giving her time to react asia grabs it, and reads it.

"Dear Occult club members,

If you are reading this then it means I have mist likely committed suicide and wish to join Koneko in hell or where ever she went. I'm sorry Prez, Asia espically to you guys who helped me get here to where I am today, for that I am grateful, but I can't stand this pain anymore, This is goodbye for now...

Your only pawn, Issei Hyoudo."

Asia was in tears as well and jumped on Rias crying her eyes out. Rias hugged her comfortably hoping someone someone would save him until he heard the door open and slam shut. It wasn't Akeno or Issei, but Kiba.

"Kiba? What are you doing here?" Rias said when he ran into there room with his speed.

" It's Akeno she says its urgent and she was crying on the phone. We need to teleport now!" he said which only deepened Asia's cries believing that he actually did kill him self.

Rias set a magic circle around them and teleported to a pool but far enough away so only akeno could sense them. Walking towards the cries Rias see's a Akeno holding Issei's body who seemingly didn't move ( they couldn't see his arms around her for some reason) and Rias and Asia just fell to there knee's in tears. Now noticing Akeno gets up holding Issei bridal style who looks at the two crying. Kiba lets out a sigh seeing Issei's head move towards them.

"Prez? Asia?" Issei said which made there eye's light up.

"ISSEI!" they screamed in unison running towards Akeno and Issei.

Akeno putting Issei down on his feet he was immeatily tackled back to th ground with hugs and even kisses. As they finish their barrage they picked him up and still held him close so he wouldn't leave ever again.

"Issei, we found the note in your room, then Kiba got a message from one of Akeno's trolls to come quick. (i am making the trolls able to convey everything she speaks on command) he rushed to us to tell us to come here. Please... Please never try this again." Rias said

"But... but Prez if you read the letter you know the pain will only get worse. I... I loved Koneko, I know I wasn't supposed to..., the more I got to know her... The more and more i liked her. She died in my arms telling me she loved me, SHE WASN'T EVEN AFFECTED BY THE POTION ANYMORE!" This gave Rias a weird look.

"She told me when her and I went... on our last trip to the park... She said the potion had wore off for 3 days. She said when she woke up in my arms she wanted to stay, She loved me to... and... and..." is all he could finish before he broke out in tears again.

Rias just held him closer while thinking about everything he just said. Rias was now crying even harder as was Asia. Even Kiba got a little teary eyed

"It's okay my issei, I promise." Rias said trying to comfort her precious servant.

"I'm sorry i was being selfish Prez, but i just want to see her again. Please... please forgive me. " Issei said still crying.

We all want to see her again issei, we all do..." Rias replied

As the the whole thing is bring said, a person is watching in the background smiling at his victory.

"This is what you get for defying oue familes wishes Rias, no one makes a mockery of the Phenex clan." Said the person in the shadows.

After the whole ordeal everyone decided it was time to go home, but they decided to pay there respects to there lost friend/ girlfriend. Rias and Asia decided to sleep in Issei's bed to comfort him and make sure he doesn't try anything during the night.

As light crept into Issei's bedroom he was the first to wake and felt a familiar feeling right where koneko used to sleep. Having the biggest smile on his face he looked over immediately, but he was sad to some degree that it wasn't koneko, but was happy it was Rias.

As the rest of the members in the bed woke up, Issei took longer showers since the passing of koneko. Mainly for crying, but this time it was for thinking. There had to me more to the potion... A devil doesn't simple die from natural causes, since they die when they are reborn. So who ever gave the potion to koneko must habe poisoned it. He decided to ask Rias after he was done.

As he went down stairs Asia and Rias gave him a smile as he finally sat down for once after... you know.

"Hey Rias? Do you mind looking up the potion again to see what it is made of or anymore side effects?" He said looking at her with a serious look.

"Uhhhhh sure Issei you know I'd do anything for you, but why the questions all of a sudden?" She questioned curiously.

"I was just thinking about it, and it doesn't add up to me. If you could please that would be great, I'm going out, and i promise I won't try anything so don't seND Kiba or akeno to follow me." He said as he walked out.

Rias did as she was asked, and found out something terrible, the potion ingredients are highly deadly to demons and fallen angels, but are complete bliss for angels. Rias went to find Issei immediately. But couldn't so she went to her brother to help her find him.

When she teleported to her brothers house. She was shocked to find I seei there talking with grayfia and Rias brother. Before she could ask what was goino on she heard what issei said.

"Is there anyone who knows this kind of potion exists and would actually use it against us?"

"Out of all the demons, i know of one, and it makes sense why he would use it to hurt you and Rias." Replied Sirzches.

"Who?!" Questions issei at yelling level.

"Riser Phenix..."
