Author's Note:
Thank you guys for continuing to read this fic, if you guys have any questions just ask them as PM or as a review. If you guys are wondering why Rias seemed a little childish, I made her that way. If you guys look back at the anime, manga and the LN's, you guys would see that most of the time, Rias always gets what she wants, so in this fic, I've made her childish to show that she doesn't always gets what she wants.
Darkdeath12: I know that was a mistake, but what you just said was really what I planned to do. Issei didn't have any memories that would be better than Kakashi's memories so his memories as Issei would pale in comparison to Kakashi's memories.
Rotciv557: As always, thanks for the constructive criticism. It helps improve my writing. Now on your statement, you're right about that, a 17-year old Rias was simply crying where a 12-year old Naruto simply just got back up. But if you compare the two's mental fortitude, the 12-year old Naruto was definitely stronger than Rias in mentality. Naruto was beaten to death every single day of his life before he even became a ninja where Rias was just enjoying her life having every single thing handed to her in a silver platter without any pain like Naruto's. So when Rias was humiliated, she was simply like a child where as Naruto was just angry in return. That's their difference. As always, I hope you continue on your constructive criticisms, it helps.
Tsunashi777: Thanks for the suggestion I'll use it definitely later on. As for the pairing, I have hard time in thinking of a good pairing that would fit perfectly with Kakashi's personality, since Kakashi is older than them mentally after all. I won't do a Mass Harem or something like that. At most, there would only be two or three girls that I would pair with Kakashi. So I'm sorry for those who want a Mass Harem. It ain't happenin'.
Code R.R.: I'm glad that someone also thinks of Rias that way, I'm with you. She's definitely the weakest of the group no doubt about that. I hope you keep on reading, thanks a lot.
Withdranwnmadness000: At most, Kakashi will get two girls. I don't want too many girls falling in love with him, if I were to do so, the character development would be SO HARD to write. While others could do it, don't forget that I'm just a new writer so of course I would have a hard time writing so many character developments. So for those hoping a mass harem or something like that, once again I'm really sorry but I don't want it to happen.
Axcel: even if you do not have an account, I'll reply at your review. You're definitely right about the fact that Minato would be married in the clan, but if I remember correctly, the Uzumaki Clan was already destroyed so it is not really a clan anymore. It only has it members, not the clan itself, so even if Naruto was an Uzumaki or not, he would not be tied to the traditions of the clan since the clan already died. That's how he retains the Namikaze surname. At least that's my explanation. Anyway, thanks for the info. It helped a lot. And Naruto won't be appearing in the story, I think. Who knows? Also, PM or review to me the fic that you're talking about. I would like to give it a try. Hope you continue on reading. Thanks.
Ruce: Thanks for the info, but in this fic, I tweaked Kakashi's personality a little bit so nothing could be done about that. I'm sorry but I hope you continue on reading. Thanks a lot.

[Start]
Kakashi was definitely in heaven. He was having a normal boring day while reading his Icha-Icha while walking in the streets of Konoha when Jiraiya suddenly appeared and offered him a spot for being the main character starring on his Icha-Icha movie. Kakashi was already hooked the moment he heard about the movie. He didn't even offer any resistance as Jiraiya dragged him away so that he could prepare for the movie since the recording of the movie would be held in Yuki no Kuni and it would be starting today.
Since they weren't able to find anyone suitable for the role, Jiraiya picked Kakashi and since he had the Sharingan, it was definitely helpful for memorizing the script given to him by the director. He did wonder why they have to travel in such a distant place when they could just start near the village. He was shocked when he heard that it was the daimyo of the Yuki no Kuni, Kazehana Koyuki that would be his partner in the movie. Banging such a beautiful woman like that, Kakashi would never reject the offer at all. He was giggling perversely as he read every script given to him, he didn't think that they would be making a kinky movie where Koyuki-hime would be a maid and he would be robber. If one could see his face, they would see that his nose was continuously dripping blood without any stop.
Jiraiya called him that it would start soon and when it started he saw the beauty which was Koyuki Kazehana wearing a skimpy maid clothes that reveals her very proportional and curvaceous body that completely complements her pale skin and black hair, her maid skirt was so shirt if a wind blows it would definitely show her underwear along with her mature look makes her a very sexy and hot maid. Koyuki turned towards him and spoke. "Please take care of me, Kakashi-san."
He was stopped at his thoughts and he saw Koyuki's whole figure that he cannot stop looking at them as he spoke. "Likewise, Koyuki-hime. I hope that we both enjoy this to the fullest." He gave a slight eye smile.
'Okay, Kakashi. That was definitely creepy.' He thought as he grimaced when he recalled every single word he just spoke which would surely be defined as sexual harassment. If Tsunade and Sakura were here, they would beat him senseless without any form of mercy. In fact, if they really did beat him up, perhaps even dying would be called a mercy. He shuddered as he recalled the monstrous strength that Tsunade and Tsunade junior held. He really did not want to be pulverized by those angry freaks just because of a single sentence.
The director who was standing besides Jiraiya called out on the both of them. "Okay, Koyuki-san, Kakashi-san! ACTION!" The moment he heard the director spoke, a loud ringing of an alarm was reverberating throughout as his vision blurred before he suddenly regained consciousness.
"Godamnit!" Kakashi cursed when he regained consciousness as he looked for the source of the loud ringing. Looking around, he saw his phone on his desk which was near in his comfy bed. When he looked at the phone, he saw someone calling, but the number was unknown. He was really tempted to throw the phone, but since he wanted to know the unknown number, Kakashi relented as he picked up and decided to answer the phone.
"Who's this?" Kakashi asked in a barely restrained tone which could definitely be heard as angry. He was angry since his dream was disturbed. 'And it was just getting to the good part, Damnit!' He thought indignantly.
"Ara, why are you angry, Issei-kun? Did I disturb a perverted dream of yours?" He heard a familiar voice spoke back at him. He was sure that this was Akeno, that sultry voice was something he won't forget that easily.
"Akeno-san, how did you get my number?" Kakashi ignored her as he asked. How did she get his number, I didn't even give it to anyone except Matsuda and Motohama. Well, no one would want an infamous pervert's number after all. Of course, those two will be the only ones who would have his number.
"Ufufu, we've been observing you for months, after all Issei-kun." She spoke in a playful tone without any reluctance at all. 'Okay, that was disturbing.' Kakashi was not even cold at all and he shivered even with the covers of his bed was coating him. He had a group of devils as stalkers for a long time and he didn't even notice, yikes, that was creepy.
"Anyway, why did you call anyway, Akeno-san?" Kakashi spoke as a yawn escaped his mouth. He was really tired after all. He still had to rest his sore body which was overexerted by the Lotus. Akeno just called him at the morning where he was still resting. 'She made a good alarm clock, even if she woke me up two hours before classes.' He thought as he started to get up from the bed with the phone at his right hand placed in his ear.
"Well, Issei-kun. Someone wants to meet you." He heard as he let out another yawn while moving his body. 'Good, my body's no longer sore. It's just tired.' Kakashi placed the phone over his desk and set it to speaker mode as he moved to fix his bed.
"I see. Well, who wants to meet me?" He asked as he finished fixing the covers of his bed and he opened the curtain covering his window. He let the sunlight enter his room as he felt the slight stinging of the sun as he basked in it. 'Even though it's not strong, light is still a weakness. Well, Rias-san said that I would just get used to it.' Kakashi just grabbed the phone as he started head out of his room. He set the phone back to automatic as he placed the phone back in his ear as he waited for Akeno's answer.
"This person wants to meet you after class ends." Akeno answered back at Kakashi who twitched for having his question ignored. He promptly asked again and this time, he even tried to ask in a polite tone.
"Okay, Akeno-san, who wants to mee–" This time, he tried again but he was cut off as Akeno continued without even waiting for Kakashi's response. "You'll be meeting in the Occult Research Club Room after class. That's all Issei-kun." He heard the call ended, meaning that Akeno ignored his question and she even cut him off. He just let out a groan of frustration as he scratched his head.
"Just like what Shikamaru said, women really are troublesome." He just sighed as he wore his uniform before locked his apartment door, heading out to the school's direction.
[Scene Break]
He was walking towards the school's direction as he passed through the park where he saw someone cried out. "My veil!" it was a girl who was chasing after a white veil that was blown by the wind. He watched her chasing after the veil then she tripped comically on the flat ground. Kakashi sweatdropped before he ran towards the veil's direction. He jumped slightly when he saw the veil floating upwards as it was being taken away by the wind. He grabbed the white veil the moment he reached it before falling back to the ground.
He looked back at the girl who was now tearing up with her tears swelling up on her face while she was rubbing her knee which was slightly bruised when she tripped earlier. Kakashi looked at the young girl who looks like a nun with the dark teal nun outfit she wears. 'She's definitely a nun.' he thought as he observed the girl's appearance. She has a long blonde hair and green eyes. Her long hair flows all the way to her back with split bangs over her forehead and a strand of ahoge sticking out from the top which was sloping backwards that somehow makes her looks like a klutz. Who knows, appearances can be deceiving after all.
He was shocked when he saw a green light coming from the both hands of the blonde girl. The green light was healing her bruised knee faster than the common Iryō Jutsu (Medical Ninjutsu) he always sees from the Elemental Nations. 'Only Tsunade-sama and Sakura reached that level of healing. So efficient and fast.' He thought with slight amazement as he reached out his hand which has the white veil from earlier.
"That was amazing, Miss. Anyway, here's your veil." Kakashi saw her flinched when she heard him speak. She was trembling slightly before it disappeared. She looked at him with fear in her eyes, but it seems that she shook it away. She grabbed the veil that Kakashi handed her and she placed it back at the top of her head before standing up. She gave a smile that made her look with so much innocence before speaking timidly.
"Ah. Thank you for the help…" She spoke with slight reluctance at Kakashi who realized that she was waiting for his name. "Oh, the name's Hyoudou Issei." He gave an eye-smile in which the girl introduced herself as well. "Thank you for your help. My name is Asia Argento." She spoke with a smile in return.
'She's not speaking Japanese, how can I easily understand her?' He thought curiously before engaging to another conversation. "Miss Argento, how did you do that green light earlier?" He asked. He was rather curious as to how the girl emulated the Iryō Jutsu, he knew that chakra doesn't exist inside the humans that live in this dimension. 'It seems that I'm speaking a different language as well. Must've had something to do with me being a devil.' He shrugged it off out of his mind. He'll just ask Rias or Akeno later.
Kakashi saw the sad look emanating in her eyes before she forced a smile as she tried to speak cheerfully. Others would be fooled easily by the forceful smile and the cheerful tone she gave but for Kakashi who trained under Danzo for a little while would know that she was just faking it. "Well, it's a gift that God gave me help other people." Even though she forced a cheerful voice on her, he can feel the sincere tone when she spoke about God.
'A gift from God. So she's a Sacred Gear user as well.' He thought before voicing out his question. He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity as he asked Asia. "Miss Argento, that healing power you had, is it a Sacred Gear?" Kakashi asked when he saw Asia looking back at her with a surprise expression.
"How did you know?" She asked while waiting for Kakashi's answer. 'It's not fair if she's the only who revealed something about herself. And no one's here at the park anyway.' He thought as he replied at her. "You see, I'm a Sacred Gear user as well." Kakashi swung his arm lightly as he willed the Boosted Gear to appear. He felt the familiar power as he saw his arm changed to a red claw-shaped gauntlet.
He showed the red gauntlet to Asia whose eyes were now twinkling at the gauntlet that was attached in Kakashi's arm. "Amazing! Is that your Sacred Gear?!" She asked, looking like a child who eagerly wants to know about a new toy. She didn't know why, but she felt a slight tugging feel from the gauntlet.
"Relax, relax." Seeing her relaxed, Kakashi continued. "Yeah, this is my Sacred Gear. Though, yours would be better for helping people. Mine is just for fighting." Kakashi spoke solemnly at her who just shook her head at Kakashi and denied his words. "No. If you want to save someone, it's the thought that counts. Mister Issei." She smiled gracefully at him who just gave a sheepish smile in return. "Is that so? Thanks."
Kakashi willed the gauntlet to disappear then he saw the time on his wristwatch. "Shit! If I don't hurry I'm going to be late!" He made a fast run towards the school's direction. He looked back at Asia before waving while saying goodbye. "Miss Asia, I'll be going now! Nice meeting you!"
Asia just waved back at him as she saw him running fast. She gave a smile before leaving the park as well. When she was out of the park, she heard a flap of wings behind her. She looked at her back and she saw a fallen angel staring at her. "Where were you?" The fallen angel asked in an irritated tone that says that she's really angry at her.
"Raynare-sama, I was just at looking around the town." She answered with fear coating in her voice as she looked towards her superior.
"Whatever. We're going back to the church now." The fallen angel now named Raynare spoke as she grabbed her, dragging her back to the church.
[Scene Break]
Kakashi was sweating slightly when he arrived at gates in front of the school. When he started walking towards the school building, he heard various mutterings and whispers as he was heading at the school building's direction.
"Did you hear? The pervert joined the Occult Research Club!" Kakashi just thought back as he ignored them. 'Yeah, you're right about that.'
"Yeah, and what's worse was that it was Rias-onee-sama who recruited him!" He just groaned as he thought. 'She did that, with my death included.'
"No way! What does Onee-sama sees in him anyway?!" Kakashi was just walking as he paid no attention on the student body.
"I don't know!"
"Did you also hear that Rias-sama was absent today?! She was not walking with Akeno-sama this morning!" Kakashi raised a brow as he heard that sentence.
"What happened to her?! Did she get sick?!" He just gave a slight chuckle. 'Impossible, that red-hair wouldn't be sick no matter what. She's like Kushina-nee after all. Those kind of people never get sick.'
"She didn't! It must be the pervert!" He just made an inarticulate sound of despair as he cringed from that. 'My reputation still didn't diminish.' He cried comically but he was just ignored.
"Yeah! Maybe he raped Rias-sama!" Kakashi choked in air as he heard that. 'I can't believe I just heard that!' He spluttered as he made a coughing noise but they just turned a blind eye on him.
"I have no doubt he even humiliated her!" When he heard that, he started to sweat profusely before making a run towards the school building. He had no arguments on that one. He did humiliate her after all, and with his ultimate technique, no less.
[Scene Break]
When he arrived at the Occult Research Club Room, he saw Akeno approaching him with a smile. "Issei-kun, now that you've arrived, take a seat over there at the couch, the person who would be speaking to you will appear. Just wait for a moment." Kakashi just gave a nod as he went to the couch. He took out his manga after waiting for the person that wants to meet him.
After waiting for a couple of minutes, he saw a bright red light at the side coming from a Gremory clan circle in the ground. When the red light disappeared, a handsome man and a beautiful maid was now standing in the circle.
The handsome man has a crimson hair with blue-green eyes. He was wearing a neatly ironed unbuttoned black suit and a green necktie with a brown shirt inside. He looks like a business man with that suit. In fact, he definitely looks like a male of version of Rias, there's no doubt about that.
The maid has a silver hair and matching silver eyes. She has a maid headband on the top of her head. Her hair was so long, it flows all the way over her back with a long braid that is featured on both of her sides with small blue bows at each ends. 'What is it with maids?' Kakashi thought while sighing, he couldn't forget about his dream this morning that easy.
The male version of Rias looked around the club room and when he saw Kakashi, the both of them locked eyes. He approached the opposite couch in which Kakashi was seated. He never took his eyes of Kakashi. The maid followed her silently standing at his side.
The both of them just looked at each other and Akeno approached them while handing out a newly made tea. "Here, Issei-kun. Sirzechs-sama." The playful tone she uses often was not there. Instead, there was an elegant tone in her voice. It seems that this person in front of Kakashi was a very important person, she also used a honorific as well.
"Thank you, Akeno-san." Kakashi thanked her as he took a sip on the tea. He saw the man named Sirzechs sipping on the tea as well. Sirzechs gave a slight nod as thanks before locking eyes with Kakashi again.
"Hyoudou Issei-kun. My name is Sirzechs Lucifer, and this person besides me is my personal maid and wife, Grayfia Lucifuge." Sirzechs introduced himself seriously and the maid he was pointing at just gave a curt nod at Kakashi. He reached out a hand in which Kakashi returned.
"The name's Hyoudou Issei." He shook Sirzechs hand and as he let go he continued. "And a piece of advice, don't state to someone you just met that your wife is your maid, it would make people think that you and your wife are having a kinky relationship." He gave an eye-smile as he saw Sirzechs twitched. Akeno just giggled quietly and the maid named Grayfia was looking at Kakashi with a questioning gaze.
"Well, Lucifer-san. What do you want from me?" Kakashi asked, he really didn't have anything to do. But he wanted to get this talk over with. He would just continue giving the flyers for the night before hitting the sack.
"Well, Hyoudou-kun. Can I call you Issei?" Sirzechs asked and he continued after seeing Kakashi nod. "Since it seems that you're type who wants to get straight at the subject right away, I'll ask. What did you do to my Rias?" Sirzechs glared at him with looks that can kill. Kakashi was sure that if looks could kill, he would die a thousand times over. He was sweating bullets at this man in front of him. Even if Sirzechs was hiding his power, Kakashi who was trained as a ninja could feel his overwhelming and intimidating aura coating all over the place.
Sirzechs was suppressing his power in unimaginable levels. Kakashi was sure that this man would be at Hashirama Senju's level if he were to release the power he is suppressing. He was shivering at the thoughts of someone being on the level of Hashirama. He didn't want to fight this man at all. Kakashi knew on his mind that he won't win at all, he might be able to fight him, but he knows that he won't win against the man. Even if he had his Sharingan, fighting against the man would lead him into defeat.
"Ah, is Rias-san your sister?" Kakashi asked, hoping for the immense tension to disappear. He glanced at Akeno, and she promptly took her leave as soon as the man's aura covered the whole room. He sighed in defeat as he heard Sirzechs' voice.
"Yes. And Rias went home crying. When I asked, she didn't spoke anything besides you. Now, what did you do to her?" He spoke, making the tension continue to rise without stop. But her maid didn't do anything to stop him and let him just spread his overwhelming presence.
"Well, you see. Imayhavepokedherintheasswhenshewastestingmyabilities!" Kakashi spoke, rushing his words with a tone that could only be described as high-strung.
"Come again, I didn't hear you correctly, did I?" Sirzechs asked, and Kakashi could see him gritting his teeth while waiting for Kakashi's reply. The maid besides Sirzechs was looking at him akin to a dumbfounded gaze. She definitely understood what just Kakashi spoke.
Kakashi didn't want to speak at all, but the glare Sirzechs was giving him was very scary and bone-chilling. It was a glare so fearsome it would make even the glare Tsunade gives whenever she was pissed as nothing but a cute pout. This was the power of a siscon-induced overprotective brother.
"I may have poked her in the ass and she went flying when she was testing my abilities." Kakashi spoke truthfully. Sirzechs aura changed from intimidating to downright sinister. Kakashi was now shivering as he held both of his arms. He saw Sirzechs' body being coated in a very dark energy that similarly looks like Rias' Power of Destruction.
He barely dodged in time when Sirzechs launched a large ball of the dark energy that completely annihilated the place where he was before. Kakashi looked at the place where he was earlier, and what he saw almost made him faint. There was literally was nothing, unlike Rias' technique where dusts and such remained, Sirzechs' technique made everything into nothing. There was not even a simple speck of dust that can be found. His skill in using the technique was completely different from Rias.
Sirzechs was forming another large ball of the dark energy when they heard Grayfia spoke. "Sirzechs-sama, please refrain yourself from continuing any further. Don't kill Rias-sama's Pawn." She spoke in a cold and strict tone that made even Sirzechs scratch the back of his head sheepishly.
"Sorry Grayfia, I lost myself for a moment there when I heard someone defiled Ria-tan." Sirzechs spoke playfully before glaring daggers at Kakashi who just gave a sigh in relief for being saved in time.
"Sirzechs-sama, shouldn't you be asking why he did it in the first place." Grayfia retorted at Sirzechs who just refrained from saying anything further. He looked at Kakashi while waiting for the answer to come.
Kakashi was honestly glad that the tension from before was now completely gone and was replaced with a somehow civil and calm manner. With no couch to sit in, Kakashi just remained to stand before giving out his answer to Sirzechs.
"Just for my satisfaction, and let's leave it to that." Kakashi answered while hoping to avoid the subject. Truthfully, he didn't want to answer this, he would rather be beaten to a pulp by Rias' overprotective brother.
"You're not saying the truth. Even if it may be a simple reason or something, say it." Sirzechs spoke in a very unbending and stern voice. Kakashi just gave a simple groan of irritation before relenting and answering.
"Fine, I did it for a simple, petty and insignificant reason. I wanted to somehow get back at her." He glowered at Sirzechs who looked pretty disgruntled at Kakashi's reason.
It was Grayfia who replied back at him. "What? Why would you want to get back at her? As far as we know, she even saved you when you were dying, she gave you a new life." When Kakashi heard this, he snarled angrily at Grayfia which shock both Sirzechs and her. They didn't expect him to answer like that.
Grayfia spoke the wrong choice of words that definitely hit Kakashi's sore spot. Kakashi was not able to control his emotions as he lashed out on the both of them. His pent up frustrations in regards to how he was revived by Rias was being released and he was directing his anger at the both of them. When they were talking about what he did to Rias, he knew that they would reach this point of discussion and Kakashi would not be able to control himself. He shouldn't have done that technique at Rias at all.
"You want to know why?" Kakashi spoke with a scowl marring his face as he slammed the table with his feet so hard unconsciously with chakra, making the table shatter. Even so, he continued. "It's all because I hate manipulative, lying, and scheming bastards." Kakashi spat the words like venom as he continued, not waiting for any response. "No, I was wrong. I do not just hate them. I loathe them, I despise them, and I detest them. But most of all, I want to do nothing more than to kill them."
Sirzechs and Grayfia could feel Kakashi's anger rising and they even felt his strength to rise. They didn't even think that the boy was hiding his strength. Right now, they could feel his strength at rising continuously, he was now at the level of a high-class devil and it was still going up. Unknown to them, Kakashi was flaring up his chakra unconsciously, though it was definitely felt by four different people, people who were very adept in chakra.
[Scene Break]
Someone sleeping in the head of a green dragon, jolted awake when he felt the chakra spreading. "Chakra? And from a human it seems. That shouldn't be possible. It's the same phenomenon from the one I've felt seventeen years ago. Both were chakra emanating from humans." He spoke but was disturbed by a grumbling voice speaking from the head where he was laying down at.
"Hah? Shut up. I'm sleeping here." A green dragon spoke below him as the dragon gave a bellowing yawn before going back to sleep. The one speaking from before just petted the dragon before laying down in the dragon's head. "Whatever." He muttered before going back to closing his eyes and going back to sleep as well.
[Scene Break]
"Nyaa, it's the same chakra from before. Though this time, it feels of anger and hatred. It's really close to Shirone's location. I wonder, did something happen?" The black haired kimono wearing youkai thought before someone called out to her.
"Hey! We need to get going now, were going to be talking with the one who holds the Excalibur Ruler!" The youkai who was holding the staff in his shoulders called out on her.
"Well, no matter. I just hope Shirone's fine." She grumbled under her breath as she walked towards where the youkai who called out to her was located.
[Scene Break]
Koneko who was buying and eating sweets from a candy store felt the chakra pulsating for a split second as she munch the next horde of candies.
"Did something happen to Hyoudou-senpai, the chakra just now was his." She spoke as she continued to stuff sweets in her mouth without any stop at all.
[Scene Break]
A girl with blonde hair was meditating in the forest behind a church when she felt the wave of chakra passing through her at a very fast moment. She stopped meditating when she felt the chakra and she whispered quietly.
"This chakra somehow feels familiar. I don't know who, but I definitely recognize this one. I just can't remember. Who?" She spoke as she tried to return to her earlier stance of meditation.
"Kumina-senpai! Break time's over!" The blond girl named Kumina heard someone called out to her. Looking at the direction of the voice, she saw a girl with a chestnut colored hair waving at her cheerfully before standing up, going to the girl's direction.
[Scene Break]
"Calm down Issei-kun. You're letting your emotions control yourself." Sirzechs admonished Kakashi who glared at him furiously. Sirzechs didn't want for this situation to get out of hand, and if it did, no matter what, this would become a fight, a fight that Kakashi would lose.
Kakashi gave a scowl before he relaxed himself, regaining his calm demeanor from earlier. He was still pissed off from Grayfia's earlier remark. Rias didn't save him, in fact she played him quite well, a very cunning scheme that definitely defines her as a devil, greedy and prideful.
"Now, Issei-kun, why are you angry at Rias?" Sirzechs asked respectfully at Kakashi who was now sitting in the floor while holding his temple. He gave a simple sigh as he answered.
"Because she's a manipulative, lying, and scheming devil." Kakashi spoke with annoyance in his voice. He really hated those types of people, especially since his best friend was a product of those kinds of manipulation. He didn't even give the two a chance of response, he just continued.
"Did you think I won't see that she definitely stage my death?" He scowled at the both of them as he continued. "She made it looked like she saved me when I was dying from the hands of the fallen angel. When in truth, she simply waited before I died and then she saved me. In other words, she just wanted me for my Sacred Gear. If I didn't have a Sacred Gear at all, she wouldn't have even saved me in the first place, right?" The two didn't answer and Kakashi took that as a 'yes' and he continued. "While I'm thankful for her, it doesn't mean that she should just manipulate others. I hate those who do so."
"Why do you hate them, then?" Sirzechs asked. When he read the report that Rias sent at him, it showed that Hyoudou Issei was not the same person they were observing for months. In fact, it was like he was a different person when Rias revived him. He wanted to know how did that happen in the first palce, he definitely needed to know Hyoudou Issei's personality to know whether the boy was dangerous or not. And by going to what was happening earlier, he was definitely dangerous.
"You see, there were three friends. Two boys and one girl, let's just name the two boys as Kakashi and Obito, the girl with the name Rin." He spoke at Grayfia and Sirzechs solemnly and he raised his hand, stopping them from interfering him.
"Kakashi didn't believe that they were friends, he thought they were just teammates, nothing more and nothing less. And then the three were placed in a bad situation, the girl named Rin was kidnapped and Kakashi didn't care, only Obito did. Obito lectured Kakashi about the importance of friends before saving Rin himself since Kakashi never wanted to."
"After that, Kakashi was enlightened by what Obito said to him, and he followed as well. After working together they were able to save Rin but Kakashi lost his eye. They were in a cave that was slowly giving in when they saved Rin. A huge boulder fell from where Kakashi's blind spot where he lost his eye. But Obito saw that and he saved Kakashi, pushing Kakashi away and he was the one who was smashed by the boulder in exchange. Only half of his body was visible and the other half was completely crushed by the boulder."
"After that, they left Obito to die. Or at least they thought so." Kakashi stopped for a little while, guilt was eating him, no matter what he did. He was really regretting not moving to save Rin at that time.
"What happened to Obito?" Sirzechs can't help but be curious to the story Kakashi was telling them. It has many holes but Sirzechs definitely thought that it was very detailed at all. Something deep in his mind was telling him that the story Kakashi was speaking about was true. He might not be a very good judge of character, but he knows that Kakashi was a good person. Even if he did blew up earlier.
Kakashi didn't even heard Sirzechs and he just continued. "Someone saved Obito." Sirzechs looked at Kakashi who just gave a nod at him. "Yes, just like me. And that someone who saved Obito, saved him only for one thing, do you know what?"
"That someone just wanted a pawn to use, but Obito was someone who had a very strong metal fortitude, even if he was to be tortured nonstop, his mind will never break. But that someone was able to manipulate Obito to the point where Obito hated the whole world, and he was definitely used by that someone. And do you know how that someone manipulated Obito, someone who has many mental shields?"
Sirzechs was just looking at him expectantly with curiosity filled in his eyes. Grayfia was just looking emotionless as usual. But one could definitely say that she was curious as well.
"You see, in Obito's mind, Kakashi was his best friend and rival while Rin was the love of his life, even though he never admitted it." Kakashi just chuckled sadly before continuing. "So how to break someone's mind, especially Obito? He made Obito see Kakashi kill Rin. So, Obito's mind broke when he saw his best friend killed his love."
They could see Kakashi's eyes filled with guilt and sorrow. But even so, Kakashi continued. "In the end, my best friend Obito was manipulated and used. Now do you know why I was angry at Rias? She manipulated the situation, it doesn't matter if she was desperate or something. In the end, what matters was that she was someone who schemed and manipulated. That is why I was so angry at her, but I couldn't kill her that easily. Since all I can see in her was a child that was so desperate to escape something after all. So I settled it by getting back at her by a humiliating move. And before you rebut me, I know it's petty."
"I see." Sirzechs just nodded at Kakashi but he asked something. "At least your reason is valid, but you didn't have to do that to her, you know." Sirzechs spoke in a civil manner, the previous anger Kakashi had earlier already receded and he was now relaxed. Kakashi was glad that a lot of weight disappeared on his shoulders. He didn't expect that lashing out his anger on someone and speaking out his thoughts would make his regrets that he feels to lessen.
"I know, but that was the only thing that crept in my mind when I was thinking of getting back to her, since even if I did defeat her, she would just think that she obtained a strong servant, and it won't satisfy me, so I settled it by humiliating her." Kakashi nodded sagely as he stroked his chin as if it has a beard.
"Well, even if you did make Rias cry, which I very much hate, I can only say that this was still a pleasurable meeting, even if we did misconceive each other. I get to know someone who went to a change when he was revived as a devil. We will meet again soon, Issei-kun. And I hope that the next time we meet, we'll be on the same sides of the coin, instead of being on each other's throat." Sirzechs smiled at him sadly before disappearing and Grayfia just gave curt nod as a sign of goodbye before disappearing as well.
Kakashi gave a tired expression along with a tired sigh as he made a single hand seal before disappearing in a swirl of leaves. Akeno, who was just at the side of the club room's door, heard everything, especially Kakashi's outburst about how he was angry with Rias' manipulation. She even heard about Kakashi's story.
"I'm sure right now. Who are you really, Issei-kun?" Akeno spoke quietly before going inside the opening the door of the club room. And when she stepped outside, she gave a scowl when she saw how messy the club room was. One of the couch disappeared and she could see the table shattered, there were even leaves littered in the place. How did Kakashi disappear? She just grumbled under her breath. "How did leaves got here in the first place? This is going to take a long time to clean."
[Scene Break]
It was lunch break when Kakashi decided to spend the rest of the time in the rooftop. The hollow sounds of continuous chirping of crickets could be heard from the ground up to the rooftop. Kakashi was laid down while feeling the gentle breeze of the wind grazing him when he heard someone open the door of the rooftop.
After the talk yesterday, Kakashi just slept like a rag the moment he went home, he was mentally tired from the conversation he and Rias' brother, Sirzechs talk about. In the end, he should've said an apology but before he could do so, Sirzechs disappeared. Even if it was her sister who was in the wrong, it wasn't right for him to lash out just like that.
So right now, he was currently alone, brooding and regretting his actions. No one was occupying the whole rooftop vicinity besides him. He was relaxing by himself when he saw a single strand of the familiar crimson hair being carried by the wind. When he turned his attention at the rooftop door, he saw Rias Gremory slowly approaching him with an unreadable expression.
He looked at Rias who was currently in front of him, but before he could start to talk at all, Rias dropped on her knees as she spoke to him. "Hyoudou Issei, I sincerely apologized that I manipulated the events that led to your death, and worst of all, I even tied your service to myself for life. I sincerely apologize."
That sentence left Kakashi stupefied, why? Because he didn't expect the prideful and arrogant bratty princess named as Rias Gremory to apologize at him, especially in dogeza. He was looking at Rias with a dumbfounded expression before regaining himself. He noticed that Rias was still bowing her head even though she already apologized.
"Rias-san, just stand up, your apology is not needed." The moment he said that, Rias lifted her head as the both of them locked eyes for a split second before Rias spoke at him. "Still, I need to apologize for my wrongdoings to you." She spoke in a sincere tone which Kakashi totally noticed. He realized that Sirzechs must've had told her about the conversation the both of them had yesterday. He just gave a tired sigh before speaking.
"I take it that Lucifer-san told you?" Kakashi asked in which Rias nodded in return. "Yeah. Onii-sama told me that you hate manipulative people. You were right, just because I was desperate didn't mean that I would be excused for what I did." She spoke in a slightly depressed tone.
'She's probably thinking that there's a large chance that I won't forgive her or something, which would cause a rift in our relationship as master and servant.' Kakashi just ruffled his hair while grumbling something like "what a drag" before turning his awareness back at Rias. "Don't be depressed anymore, Rias-san. I accept your apology. No harm done, I was just bottling up my frustrations and decided to give it to you in a humiliating manner. In fact, I should be the one to apologize." Kakashi spoke politely in which Rias just ignored. 'Really, do I have to keep being ignored?'
"No, I was the one who was really supposed to apologize, and I won't stop until I earn your forgiveness." Rias spoke in a compliant manner in which was starting to annoy the hell out of Kakashi.
"Rias-san, I already accepted your apologies, so stop it with that kind of tone." Kakashi spoke, a little irk at annoyance Rias was giving him. But Kakashi could see in Rias' eyes that she was not about to give up. He just exhaled tiredly before speaking out.
"Fine, then I'll become your friend so just stop from the apologies, if we become friends it's only normal for friends to fight, right?" Kakashi leniently spoke at her, hoping for Rias to stop apologizing since it was starting to irritate him.
"Yeah, then we become friends. A pleasure, Ise." Rias smiled while reaching out her right hand which was shook by Kakashi in return. "Yeah, likewise, Rias-san." Kakashi let go of her hand and he took out his book and he started to read, her previous attention from Rias was turned to his book.
"Then Ise, what do you want?" She asked with twinkle in her eyes. When Kakashi looked at her, he obviously knew that right now, Rias was just annoying the hell out of him. Since he already forgave her, he just wanted to be alone, not to be bothered by a stubborn redhead. 'Seriously, Kushina-nee! She's so much like you, it's scary!' Kakashi thought with a trouble expression.
"Godamnit, woman!" The whole campus could hear Kakashi's cries echoing throughout the whole Kuoh Academy.
Author's Note:
I hope you guys enjoyed that even though it was a little bit disappointing. In this chapter I've only showed how Kakashi met Asia and how Kakashi ranted about his hate of manipulative people. Before you guys criticize me, I'll say it, my Kakashi is angry at the fact that Madara manipulated Obito, his best friend. That was why Kakashi was angered when Grayfia said that Rias saved his life, when it truth she only manipulated it so that Kakashi would become her servant. So basically, Kakashi hates anyone who just manipulates someone without any care for the person's feelings.
Regarding Rias' attitude, at first she was a bratty princess that was humiliated but she changed when she heard how much Kakashi hated those manipulative people. And since she didn't want a rift in their relationship as master and servant relationship, she changed herself so that she won't be hated by Kakashi.
I know that this chapter is a little bit disappointing, but I'll somehow get back in the next chapter. I hope you guys continue on reading. I want your reviews guys so that I could improve the story even more and I hope you guys continue to fav and follow as well. Thanks a lot.
