Hello. This is another chapter, but it's nothing remarkable. Just a filler chapter to move us into the next Arc. Ive decided to skip or at least postpone Raynares arc, though more than likely without Asia, I'll skip her together and make her a minor character with Kokabiel. Not decided yet.

Anyways, I own nothing.

Issei woke up on a couch, covered in a think blanket sheet. He sat up rather quickly, looking around with confusion.

'Oh right… I passed out because I used my true power...'

"Ah you are awake." Spoke an unfamiliar voice. Issei turned his head to the voice, staring at him. It was a red-headed man sitting in Rias's chair, with his fingers intertwined and his chin on his knuckles. Then standing nearby was another man, with green hair and light blue eyes. Issei looked at them with curiosity and confusion, his head tilted.

"Can I help you two?" Issei asked with a smile.

"What are you?" The red-head asked, getting right to the point.

"I don't follow." Issei said. "I am a human." He had to keep up appearances and as far as Issei felt, he WAS human. He felt like he DID belong here. Sure, he came from the stars but he felt human inside. That's what he truly thought.

"Humans don't regenerate. Human's don't do what you did." Ajuka replied with a frown. "Yet, I don't detect any lies nor malice, so you truly think of yourself as human, despite not being it."

Issei shrugged. "I don't really know how else to say what I am. I suppose if I read mythology… the best I could say was a Dragon-human hybrid." He said, once again lying really well, but it was valid. 'Damn… I played my hand too much. I shouldn't have gotten involved in the rating game… but I also couldn't allow Rias to be sad… huh… I couldn't allow Rias to be sad… here I thought everything I did was to blend in… maybe I'm changing to actually be part of this world.' Issei thought with a wry smile on his face. He looked up at the red-head.

"I see. A Human-Dragon hybrid. I don't suppose you know how you came to be?" The man asked.

"Well, you see. When a mommy human and a daddy dragon fall in love very much…" Issei said, giggling at his joke.

Sirzechs smiled a bit at that before humming. "Are you a threat to my sister?"

"Judging by your hair, you mean Rias? I have no interest in harming her if that is what you are asking." Issei said, tilting his head. "Do you think I want to hurt her?"

"A brother has his worries." He said before sighing. "Alright, I believe we have what we came for… Take care of my sister."

"Sure thing." Issei said with a smile. He gave them a wave as the pair of devils disappeared into their respective magic circles. About five minutes later, the door to the ORC opened and Rias stepped in, alone. "Ah, I think I met your brother." Issei said, scratching the back of his head.

Rias would normally tease about this, but she looked very serious. She took a seat on the couch next to Issei and poked his cheek.

"You… you don't have the aura of a dragon… you have the aura of a human being… yet you are not a human. So what are you for real?"

"As I told your brother, I am a human-dragon hybrid. Mother was a human, father a dragon."

"You are not telling the whole truth… but I don't want to get into a fight over it. I want to thank you as well. You saved me from a marriage that I abhorred. I… I honestly didn't really think you could do it. You really surprised all of us. We all thought you were a human..."

Issei shrugged. "As far as I feel, I feel human just like the rest of you guys."

"Issei… we're not human. Everyone you've met through the ORC or the Rating Games have all been devils."

"Devils as in the leader of the underworld in the bible?"

"The bible isn't completely accurate, but it mostly is. We're the demons of the bible, but we are called devils. My brother and the other man were super-devils… and one of the four leaders of our faction."

"Ah I see. So you are devil? So are you going to take my soul?"

Rias gave a wry smile. "Why? Have something you want?" She teased. Issei shook his head.

"No no! I rather keep my soul intact!" Issei replied, only for Rias to laugh.

"We don't take souls. That's just a myth."

"Oh good. I don't know if my soul would be tasty or not." Issei said which drew another laugh from the red-head.

"You're an honest boy. I like that." Rias said, getting up from the couch. As she was returning to her desk, the ORC club doors opened and the rest of her peerage came in. Akeno and Kiba gave a wave and a smile, while Koneko just bee lined for the seat next to him. Issei placed some chocolate into her hands and she started to devour the confection. Rias held back a chuckle as she put some paperwork in front of her. She started to read it before letting out a sigh.

"Something wrong President?" Akeno asked as she went to Rias's side.

"Just been a stressful week. Good… but stressful." She said. She looked up to watch as Issei was reading a book while Koneko was almost snug up to him eating his chocolate.

Akeno smiled. "You need to relax. How about you go and take a nice long bath. I'll work on your work while you're gone." She offered the king. Rias sighed and brushed her bangs out of her eyes, behind her right ear.

"That sounds wonderful. Thanks Akeno." Rias said, disappearing into the back. Akeno took a seat in Rias's desk and started to work on the paperwork. Issei looked up from his book and stared at the clock, and that is when his stomach made this loud noise. It sounded like there was a dragon in the room. Akeno looked up and giggled.

"Ara. Looks like we need to feed you before you feast on us." Akeno teased, standing up.

"Oh that's not necessary. I can go home and get something to eat."

"Nonsense. Once Rias gets back, I think she'll want to talk to you about being in the ORC and I quite enjoy cooking."

"If you're sure..." Issei said, sitting back on the couch.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." Akeno said, disappearing into the back as well.

Issei sighed and picked his book up again. It was a book from the town library. Was located in the mature section. It was an erotic book called Book of M. It was an erotica about a woman in a secret society. It was a recommended book that he found on the internet, among some others. He figured that this was a good way to learn about the world as well so he made it his commitment to read books that were recommended.

'I see. So… women like this thing called sex… and some like for a man to take control?' Issei thought to himself as he read the passage. He knew now to take everything at face value now, as he had learned from the experiences in the ORC, but over the course of many books, he learned quite a bit about the females. 'Maybe I should start engaging in this activity of sex and romance? Would that be a normal thing or could I remain the way I am? Need to research this more.'

Issei put his book down after placing his bookmark in the bag. He stuffed the book into his backpack and it was then Akeno came out from the back with Rias in tow. Akeno was pushing a cart that had several plates of food on it. Kiba chuckled.

"You've not lived until you've had Akeno's cooking." He said to Issei. Koneko thumbed up in agreement.

"Well, now I am eager to try her cooking if all this is true."

"You guys are too kind." Akeno said, placing plates in front of everyone, including herself and Rias. Rias was sitting at her desk. The food was ham, eggs and cheese on a bed of rice. The egg wasn't scrambled, but filled with yolk so when you cut it, it would pour itself over the rice. There was also an apple cut up into pieces as well as a glass of water for Issei while the others had their own drinks. "I didn't know what you liked to drink so water was the safe bet."

"I prefer water." Issei said, taking a sip before he started to dig into his food. One poke into the egg with his fork and then a big scoop of it into his mouth later, his eyes widened and he started to scarf down her cooking. Everyone watched with amusement as the Dragon-Hybrid devoured Akeno's food as if he was starving. The man shoveled the food into his mouth like a vacuum cleaner. He actually finished his plate and turned to Akeno, holding his plate out. "More." He asked for, a single stand of rice on the corner of his lips on the right. Akeno couldn't help but smile warmly, seeing the pure expression of happiness and gratitude on his face.

"Ara, you're an honest boy. I suppose I should take this as a compliment." Akeno said with a giggle, before refilling Issei's plate. Issei nodded rapidly.

"It's really really good. You… wow." He said, unable to really express any more of his opinion on the food. This once again got Akeno to giggle. 'She has a really nice laugh.'

"Again, thank you." Akeno said, handing Issei his plate again. This time he took it slow and ate it like a normal person would, getting Rias to chuckle and Akeno to giggle.

The meal went on in silence after that, with only the sounds of appreciation, clinking silverware or the glasses hitting the table when being put down. When dinner finished, Rias cleared her throat.

"Seeing as you now know about the supernatural, I only think it's fitting that I tell you more about the world you're finding yourself in. Well for starters, the ORC and the Student Council are all devils. Every single member, except for yourself."

"So many devils… what about Fallen Angels and Angels?"

"None go to this school." Rias said. It was then she talked about the Great War. The three way war between the three factions. The war where two dragons interrupted and caused much damage. How they were sealed into sacred gears. Rias explained everything and answered every question that Issei had. He had learned a lot of knowledge!

"And now you know most of what you get yourself into. Just remember this. You are now part of the ORC, meaning you represent the devils as well. So, anything you do against the Fallen Angels and Angels would make us look bad. You don't want that do you?"

"No ma'am!" He said, standing up and saluting. "You can count on me to behave!"

Rias giggled and nodded. "Good to know. Well, it's getting late and I think it's time for everyone to get back to their homes. We have school tomorrow." Rias said.

"Yes president." Everyone, including Issei said. Issei stood up and grabbed his back, before heading out of the club building before anyone else.

'What an interesting boy.' Rias said. She had said it many many times, but it was just true. Issei was a mystery.

Issei was walking home when he came upon something that peaked his interest. There was a pair of people standing at a street corner. They were covered head to toe in a white robe with green strikes in the middle, as well as around the edges of their hood. The one on the right had blue hair with a green fringe over her right eye. She was carrying a giant sword on her back wrapped in bandages. The one on the left had chestnut hair and violet eyes. She was not carrying a sword, but there was an arm band on her right arm. They were staring directly at Issei, studying him.

"So, you're the sinful human that's buddy buddy with devils." Spoke the Blue-haired girl.

Read. Review. Moo.

Here's a cliff hangar. It'll pick up next chapter.
