Issei silently follows Kiba to the Occult Studies Club, curious if this meeting will reveal more strange beings. He knows that they might be willing to help him figure out how to create more golems. To be honest, he is sincerely willing to allow some of his golems to complete work for them if they need them to.
Finding himself in the main part of their rooms, he enters the last room, finding Akeno bowing with her head touching the floor. “I am sorely apologetic for my behavior, Issei Kohai.” Issei, sensing that she is sincere, fidgets a little.
“So he already told you.” His tone is a little depressed at the thought, but he honestly has expected it. “I was hoping it would happen near the end of club time.” Issei knows he is going to have to go into more depth with at least Kiba. He seems like one who would abhor the very thought of expelling entrails to cut them out and have a house elf cook them.
“Yes, he has told us.” A sullen tone comes from a white haired girl, silently staring at him with a sad understanding.
“We are also aware you are supernatural, like we are.” Rias says, causing him to notice her tearfully staring at him. Harry pauses, more than a little confused by this, before he lets out his magic in a ping. Every person in the room has magic, as does a few heading toward them on the school property. He stares at them, surprised by the revelation.
“I’m sorry if I’m assuming things, but were those two families made up of dark wizards?” Kiba’s voice wavers, letting Issei know he is scared to know.
“All three were wizards, but the two families had been filled with dark people, but the last of the Black Heirs rebelled against his family. He was my godfather but was killed by his family at the first chance. My current parents were not able to access the trunk because I was switched with their baby so I would live. The letters in the trunk suggest their real son is likely dead. If it wasn’t thanks to the blood adoption I likely wouldn’t look like them.” Issei admits, knowing they might get angry with him for this if they find out about it.
Kiba wraps his arms around him gently, with his head nuzzling his neck. Issei automatically leans back a little bit. “Issei, they won’t blame you unless they are unfit to be parents.” He whispers into his ear as he hugs him firmer before releasing him.
Issei’s skin is flushing a deep red at being treated so nicely by the boy he slept with for comfort. He allows Kiba to take him toward the couch and they settle next with Issei on his lap. He smiles when Kiba begins running his fingers through his hair while massaging his scalp.
“Aren’t we here to talk or something?” Issei mumbles, leaning into the head scratches, feeling somewhat like a cat.
“That’s correct, Hyoudou kun.” Rias replies sincerely. He looks toward her, seeing that she is fidgeting a little bit.
“Gremory chan, is something wrong?” Harry asks her, starting to realize that she is worrying herself to death. She looks up at him, slightly surprised before she takes a deep breath.
“My family is trying to force me into an arranged marriage. Despite my brother being one of our society’s four leaders, having the rank of one of the Four Satans known as Maou, his hands are tied. He can’t do anything about it because it would be seen as favoritism.” Issei nods, understanding what she has said so far.
“Um, tell me how I can help. I’d rather not go in alone, but I’m sure that I can help a little bit.” Issei tells her, willing to assist if possible. She looks at him, startled by his offer.
“Really?” She asks breathlessly. Issei blushes as he realizes that the lady is near desperate.
“Just explain how your team system works, how you can say no if possible, and if there are any rules about bringing materials onto the playing field.” Rias smiles brightly at him, her eyes becoming moist once more. KIba pulls him flush against his chest as he begins nuzzling into his neck. Issei feels dampness and turns, trying to look at him.
Kiba is crying tears of what seems like elation. Issei starts to panic before Rias makes a cooing sound. “Kiba, try to calm down. Issei looks like he’s going to panic just because you are crying.” She says in a soft tone quite similar to her coos. He feels Kiba sit up and place his hands on top of Issei’s own. Issei gently begins rubbing their thumbs together, hopeful it will calm him down. “Issei, Bucho saved my life some time ago. I would not be alive if it were not thanks to her. I owe you, I’ll give just about anything to be able to help her.” Issei pauses, knowing that he can literally ask for help learning a few abilities.
“I have always had unusual things happen when I’m really emotional. Sometimes nearby lightbulbs have gone out, other times there have been random nightmares of me speaking with a lot of reptiles. Sometimes even during the day I get the feeling I’m talking to a snake differently. I think I need to be learning to control whatever that is.” He explains to him, earning several nods of agreement and some of surprise.
“We were planning on getting some more information on how you could unintentionally use magic. You apparently just wanted help taking out those rapists and then summoned their iron bodies. There were no iron deposits disturbed near or in Kuoh.” Rias explains to him, causing him to frown in confusion.
“I had an iron pendant I was holding when I found out about the noises. I don’t remember what happened to it.” Issei tells them honestly.
“It must have been used as a reagent.” Koneko tells them, Issei looks at them , entirely confused by the mention.
“Someone is going to have to test the materials that can be used in Issei’s Golem Creation.” Akeno tells them, looking quite curious about the ordeal.
