Author's Note: Again the update is late. And honestly it's difficult to write since I have three working fics and all three tends to have their ideas interfere with each other.
Now I shall address something. As long as a paragraph or sentence is not started and ended with *gap* then it's mostly Issei's point of view with him narrating everything. So unless it has quotation marks it's Issei thinking stuff...
-DRAGON AND FAMILIAR-
*Lalalala~!*
I sighed. Now at home and over with talking with the various factions and making enough apologies to create peace and alleviate tensions... never in my life that the faction that I am in and one not part of the brewing conflict... well somewhat part of and it's not like a faction but a hidden world and...
Ahhh... err...
In any case our side sent two people that could cause an incident on their own. The dim witted yet still somewhat powerful ice fairy Cirno and the bird brain and forever innocent Utsuho a.k.a. 'nineball' and 'sixball' respectively. While not exactly troublemakers, Cirno was known to be extremely stupid and would cause problems not out of maliciousness but out of sheer idiocy. While Unyuu here... err... Utsuho is a walking time bomb.
To be fair most of the time Utsuho never means harm. It's just she's so incredibly innocent, naive and emotional that she could be dangerous. And considering her power is nuclear... and I do mean 'NUCLEAR' and that means bringing out the kids gloves and being very careful. Very very careful.
With that said all three of us who came home to my apartment acted with incredible panic and horror. In fact Sanae immediately retreated to the kitchen, dragging poor Dai-chan along wherein I assume she would interrogate while cooking dinner. I on the other hand am left with Cirno and Utsuho keeping them company so they won't do anything stupid. And lastly Reisen... well suffice to say that the moon rabbit ran screaming back into Gensokyo to complain. In fact I'm surprised I didn't come with her.
In any case, there I sat in my living room ringing up my phone while listening to Cirno while she regaled on how Yukari-san herself came and sent her, Daiyousei and Utsuho here... well she's pretty much stuck watching with wide eyes at Mahou Shoujo Milky Seven...
...
...
By the dragon of Gensokyo I hope that Unyuu doesn't get ideas from watching that show!
Finally as Cirno continued to rant and Unyuu continued to watch the magical girl show in awe, the person I have been calling finally answered.
"Hello? Hyoudou-kun? Sorry for the wait, I was busy thanks to your efforts." Said the pleasant and very happy voice of Rias Gremory from the other line. "So no need to report anything, we are already aware of what you guys have done and-"
"Well it's not just that Gremory-san..." I cut her off. "Well..." Ugh. How do I say this without her freaking out. "Well... there is some developments..."
"Developments? Are you referring to the information about someone trying to make the three factions fight?" Ah... looks like they knew that. Honestly I'm not surprised.
"Errr... I'm afraid that's not- well you see..." I honestly have no idea what her reaction would be but I had to tell her... "Er... Yukari-san decided to send us reinforcements..."
"Reinforcements? That doesn't sound bad." Well that's true...
"Errr... Yeah sempai that doesn't sound bad but..." I really do not know how to admit to the redhead on the other line that good old gap hag sent nineball and sixball to us... I mean look at them! Cirno is still yapping despite not me paying attention and I think Unyuu is strarting to have ideas...
...
Wait! By the gods of the Suwa! Is that Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha she's watching?!
"Issei. Stop stalling and tell me who was sent." Ahh... She's getting impatient now... *sigh* Clearing my throat it's time to give the bad news.
"Cirno, Daiyousei and Utsuho." I told her. And for the new few minutes it was silence. Then she began laughing. She must think I'm joking.
"You're kidding right Issei? I mean why would they send those three?" She said still chuckling. I sigh again.
"Give me a minute." I told her and cut off the call. Then using my phone, I took a picture of the terrible duo and sent it to her number. Then I waited. And waited... and... I wonder what happened. Well in any case I turned my attention to Cirno who decided to regale me this time of her fight with Marisa... and winning. It's not that I don't know of it considering I do have the Great Fairy Wars game in my pc along with tons of Touhou games, but it seems that to the ice fairy it's currently her greatest achievement. Which is not surprising in any way.
However once more my attention goes to my phone as it starts ringing. It seems Gremory-san has picked up again and-
"Hyoudou-kun." Ah... no it's Himejima-san. Eh? What happened with Gremory-san? "What did you tell Rias? She has been hyperventilating for a while now." Wow... she freaked out more than I thought. Then again why shouldn't she?
"Ah we-" "Issei! I'll be right there!" I immediately pulled out my phone away from my poor ear when Gremory-san practically screamed at the other line. In fact staring at my phone as it clicked and buzzed signalling the end of the call, I assumed that sempai ripped her phone from Himejima-san and screamed her intent. Ah... I did something bad.
Still I guess we get to talk with Gremory-san in person. Not that I could complain hehehe...
"Issei!" Ah... it's Sanae. Hmmm... looks like her voice took the attention of all three of us here in the livin room. "Come here into the kitchen for a second."
"Awwwww! But I was telling Onii-chan of the time I kicked Marisa's butt!" Cirno whine, and I couldn't help but smile. I took a lot of mishaps, fights, encounters and sweets for the mischievous ice fairy to call me that, but she was rather cute and I don't mind having the small thing call me her brother. It's kinda a nice feeling anyway and she's kinda sweet when you get to know her. That and you instantly get befriended by the rest of her crew.
Though admittedly, Rumia is kinda scary at times.
"Onii-chan will get back to you Cirno. He just needs to talk to Sanae-nee for a moment." Ahhh... Dai-chan. You're so sweet as always. Amusingly Daiyousei is never her name. It's a nickname that stuck, similar to Koakuma's who I still don't know her true name; but I knew it ended with the family name of Gremory. In any case Dai-chan's name is something I can't remember as well, but I knew it involved nature. Her name is kinda like those earth spirit naked lady things from those greek stories. My tiny brain just can't remember...
In any case she's called Daiyousei because despite her appearance and size... well... she's kinda as big as Mystia. And considering how simple minded the fairies are... Well bigger is better so they say.
Nevermind that though. Sanae is calling. But first, rummaging through my bag I handed the three girls some candy bars I bought before coming home. Dai-chan as always was very shy in taking it, Cirno was very happy and Unyuu... well just like the last time I gave her a sweet she stared at it for a while before asking how to eat it...
I only shook my head as I saw the birdbrain ask Cirno and Dai how to eat the thing as I went into the kitchen, and to my surprise found Reisen there as well. When did she get back?
"I talked to master." She began while sahking her head. "She and along with the others did not know that Yukari sent the three to us. In fact Satori and Rin was really panicked and reported Utsuho's disappearance to Reimu and such..." Wow... Yukari-san did something really stupid. "in any case after telling master what happened she told Reimu and boy is she angry. Satori and Rin were also the same and in fact wanted to come here as well to collect Utsuho... but..."
"Yukari-san stopped her didn't she?" Sanae interjected. Reisen nods and honstly I wasn't surprised. In fact I couldn't help but sigh.
"She did. And while it was difficult for her to convince the aggrieved parties she was able to do so." Reisen shook her head. "In fact she was able to do so without compensation was honestly surprising."
""Eh?"" Now that was shocking! Reimu didn't shoot her or anything? Heck Satori-san did nothing?!
"I know. I don't get how, but I'm sure Reimu was still steaming before I left. Satori on the other hand seems to be contemplating something..." Contemplating? Wait... so Satori read the gap hag's mind and just went off?
"How... what..." Arrrghhhh... that hag is planning something! And whenever she plans something, the possibility of something going wrong is too high! Just then my door bell rang...
"ISSEI! I'm coming in!" Wow... even one Kuoh's Great Ladies can be that flustered if she's going to just storm in.
"Oi. We gotta stop her before she triggers one of the defenses." Ah... Thanks for the reminder Reisen...
"Gremory-sempai! Don't do it!" I could not help but call out as I ran screaming.
*Lalalala~!*
After a few minutes, we got our red headed devil senior inside and had her sighing heavily the minute she got introduced to our reinforcements... Amusingly Dai-chan took a shine to her. Hmmm... maybe because Rias is incredibly lady like and she wanted to be like her?
Well I'm no girl so I have no idea.
In any case apart from Sanae who came back to the kitchen to finish cooking dinner, me and Reisen began to tell Rias-san what we have done after leaving school, getting back and then Reisen's findings back at Gensokyo...
I should start thinking of whatever should I call her permanently soon. I can't shift to Gremory-san, Gremory-sempai or Rias-san from time to time...
Errr...
In any case, the young very hot woman before me sighed and pinched her nose at the whole thing. After all, we have already prevented a disaster only to find two smiling ones back at my apartment...
Sorry Cirno, Unyuu... but while I like you two I can't help but think of you this way. Cause it doesn't change the fact that the both of you are more trouble than you're worth.
"Well..." Rias... oh heck... began as she eyed the three newcomers who were busy transfixed on the tv screen. it's showing the new Kamen Rider show by now. "Despite the woman's scheming I think we can prevent anything from happening if we are able to keep the two excitable ones confined here in your home Hyoudou-kun."
That sounded like a good idea... but...
"I dunno. While I'm sure Dai-chan can convince Cirno to stay here at my apartment, I don't think Unyu- err... I mean Utsuho would stay put." I told her while scratching my head. And looking at her sighing she knows it too.
"Well I have little exposure to the three of them so don't look at me." You're so right about that miss useless bunny that is only useful for her- oh wait she doesn't like that I rather not think of it.
In the end, no matter how we brainstormed we found no solution. It doesn't help that Unyuu can be really empty headed that she often does things without meaning to, or even being concious about it. Not to mention she is even less smarter than Cirno who actually uses common sense at times and knows whatever she's doing. Utsuho doesn't have that and even forgets whatever she was last doing and then-
Basically the crux of the problem is that bird brain is too much of a bird brain to understand simple instructions and clearly needs a caretaker at all times.
And... oh yeah... I wonder whose doing her job since she's here...
*gap*
"Yukari-sama..."
*gap*
Oh well. I'm sure Yukari-san did something...
"What's that sound." Well sempai... that's our self defense mecha- wait...
"Issei! Some of the defenses are triggered!" With Reisen's shout me and sempai went with her and out of the door to confront whoever is attacking... But to our surprise...
"Uh... hi?" Entwined with nearly invisible string and constricted to the ground was none other than our school council president Shitori, Sona... Great... more complications...
*Lalalala~!*
