The Golden Dragon Empress (HighSchool DxD)

Holy Swords, Part 1

Sorry for taking so long to update! I was really busy these last few months with work and being a college student. But i thank you all for being patient with me!

Natsuki let out a yawn, stuffing her hands into her pockets as she walked down the street. The ORC was meeting at Issei's house as the clubhouse was being cleaned and because now Rias was living there.

She did not know why Rias wanted to live with him, his family, and Asia, but she shrugged it off.

Despite going to school that morning, Natsuki was taking her time heading to Issei's place.

Hopefully, this won't take too long, and I can go back home and take a nap. Hmm, Lux might be right about me becoming a delinquent...

After another five minutes of walking, Natsuki finally found herself on the Hyoudou's front porch. Just before she could knock, the door swung open revealing a man and a woman. Natsuki could tell these were Issei's parents with the resemblance they had to him, especially Issei's father.

"Good afternoon, my name is Sukehiro Natsuki, and I am a part of The Occult Research Club along with your son. We are supposed to have a meeting here." Natsuki said while giving the pair a respectful bow.

"Oh! So, you're Natsuki-san!" Hyoudou Miki exclaimed, a large smile overtaking her face.

"Yes, that is me, Hyoudou-san." Natsuki responded.

"Haha, it's great to finally meet you! Issei has said a lot of wonderful things about you." Gorou responded.

Natsuki raised an eyebrow, "Issei talks about me?"

"Oh yes, all the time. He told us about how you first met last school year and how you helped him stay out of trouble. It's so nice to know my son doesn't only have perverts for friends!" Gorou answered as he and his wife placed their hands on Natsuki's shoulders, leading her inside. The pair waited until the teenager took off her shoes before taking her further into the house.

Miki wiped tears from her eyes, "You don't know how much it means to us that Issei finally has a good influence in his life!"

Natsuki awkwardly scratched the back of her head, "I think you are both giving me too much credit, Issei's a good person. I didn't really do anything."

She was shocked that Issei spoke to his parents about her, especially as according to them, he had been doing so since their first year. Not to mention the low opinion they seemed to have of their son.

The bar must be in hell if I'm a good influence. Although I guess it makes sense if they are comparing me to Matsuda and Motohama. The Pawn thought.

Natsuki continued to make small talk with Miki and Gorou as they led her to Issei's room, Natsuki realized that despite the comments about his perversion, the two deeply loved Issei and accepted that part of him.

The Pawn could not deny that she was a little jealous of this, of the fact that Issei had two loving parents who accepted him as he was while never trying to change him or even thinking about getting rid of him.

She had a loving and supportive parent in Kushina, but the orphan within could not help but think about her biological parents. It had been a couple of years since she thought about them, whether they cared about her, if they were alive, or if they abandoned her for her best interests or because she was a freak they did not want.

Natsuki shook her head, I shouldn't be thinking like that. I have a parent, that's more than a lot of people in my place can say. I shouldn't be acting greedy over this.
