In the Student Council Room

The members of the Occult Research Club and the Student Council all stood as they contemplated. They couldn't help but feel just a bit cautious. After the stunt Riser Phenex had pulled, which ended up backfiring on him horribly by the way, the Devils of the two clubs at Kuoh Academy felt really conflicted.

Due to Riser's actions, there was a large chance that Issei Hyoudou would hold a great animosity to all of the Devils. The only Devils who had come in contact with Issei, were in fact Genshirou Saji and Yuuto Kiba.

The two young men severely hoped that Issei wouldn't go off on them by the off-chance they would encounter each other again. They deduced that since Issei had unlocked two new transformations, they knew that he could potentially have the ability to sense energy.

Which means he could tell the energy signature of a Devil.

Well, that certainly wasn't a good thing.

Sona sighed as she fixed her glasses.

"Now that Issei Hyoudou can detect the energy signature of a Devil, I think it would be best if we stay away from him."

The rest of the Devils turned to her in surprise, with Saji speaking their mutual thoughts.

"But kaichou, we didn't do anything! We weren't involved with Riser's plan at all!"

"I'm aware of that Saji. But you have to think about how Issei feels in his point of view. Although he has spoken to you and Yuuto a number of times, he was, at that point, unaware that you two were Devils to begin with. Both Riser and Rias's Onii-sama were the first two Devils that had wronged him. I wouldn't blame him if he had adopted a slight prejudice against us."

As he listened to the rationalization within Sona's words, Saji lowered his head and crossed his arms.

"Damn. I just..."

He then sighed and looked away.

"I understand what you're saying kaichou."

Rias narrowed her eyes as she looked out the window.

'How could Onii-sama allow Riser to do all of this? Now because of them, Issei's personality might have changed for the worst. If only he had just left Issei alone, then he wouldn't have perished.'

Sitting in one of the room's chairs were Akeno, Yuuto, and Koneko. Akeno adopted a disappointed yet saddened look on her face as she placed her hands on her lap.

Yuuto was not handling the situation any better. Even when he had been trying to convince Issei to come visit the Occult Research Club, he had genuinely been trying to act as a friend to the young man. After Rias had told the rest of her peerage that Issei could not be reincarnated into a Devil, Yuuto had to admit, he was actually a little disappointed from the news.

Koneko remained silent in her chair. She, along with Rias, Akeno, Sona, and Tsubaki, had never even met Issei yet. However, the first day he arrived to Kuoh Academy, she and the others could all sense him. But Koneko was extremely sensitive to Issei's aura, due to her sensitivity to the life-force of other beings.

Next to Sona, stood Tsubaki, who maintained her cold stoic expression. Although her surface features showed that she was calm, inside she was feeling uneasy. What she had just witnessed, was absolutely shocking. Sure, she had heard traces of the Great War between the Three Factions, and she wasn't unfamiliar to the sights of battles. However, she found it hard to grasp what had just happened to Issei.

She couldn't get that boy out of her mind. When first seeing him walking away from Kuoh Academy, it wasn't hard for Tsubaki to decipher that Issei was a reclusive young man. It was because of his eyes.

'Those strange eyes.'

His left eye. The color of innocent doe-brown. The color of doe-brown represented innocence, naiveté, and yet, it also represented vulnerability. It matched Issei's shy nature.

His right eye. That represented the color of the powerful source of energy in the entire world: The Sun. Originally Tsubaki could not understand what Issei's right eye signified. But...it finally came to her when Issei transformed into his recently acquired Solar Form.

Issei's right eye represented his repressed anger. It represented the isolation that was forced upon him due to the different coloration of his eyes.

Tsubaki narrowed her light brown eyes as she subtly looked to the side.

'Isolation.'

Only Tsubaki and Sona knew about the former's past. She was born in the Tsubaki Clan. A clan which possessed an honorable origin that purified evil spirits. However, Tsubaki had a unique trait. Her mirror could only call to abnormal beings, and as a result she received a state which was basically isolation from the other members.

Narrowing her eyes further, Tsubaki looked over to Sona, who had her eyes closed in thought.

Sona had helped her overcome her fear of isolation. But Issei...before his battle with Riser, he almost seemed to accept being isolated from others. As though he was already used to it. Accustomed to being alone.

'Issei Hyoudou.'

The boy intrigued her. But now because of Riser and Sirzechs, the Devils of the Student Council and the Occult Research Club would most likely never have the chance to get to know Issei.

Opening and then narrowing her violet eyes, Sona crossed her arms.

'Attempting to become familiar with Issei Hyoudou is a huge risk. Perhaps we should not rush. After his battle with Riser, he might become hostile once he senses our energy.'

She sighed and closed her eyes.

'And to think, just a couple of days ago, he was just a shy student. Now he is literally a being that likely surpasses my Onee-sama. Perhaps even Sirzechs-sama himself.'

Issei's House

Issei couldn't say anything. What could anyone say in his situation? A girl who he hadn't seen in over 11 years...looked exactly as she did before. She was sitting on top of him as though he was her personal couch.

"W-who are you?"

Ophis, The Infinite Dragon God, also known as the Ouroboros Dragon tilted her head as she gazed down at Issei.

"I, am Ophis. What is, your name?"

Issei didn't even know if he wanted to tell this girl his name. As far as he knew, this girl could be a stalker or something. A girl dressed in Gothic Lolita, who somehow knew where he lived, had managed to walk inside his house.

With the door locked.

"Before I tell you, I need to ask you some questions. Is that all right?"

Ophis tilted her head again. Issei found it creepy the way she did that, but he took it as a sign from her to continue. Sitting up from his spot, Issei shook his head and rubbed his forehead. He looked at Ophis's now hollow stare.

"How old are you, Ophis?"

"Infinity."

Issei rose an eyebrow at the answer.
