The Golden Dragon Empress (HighSchool DxD)

Holy Swords, Part 2

Natsuki did not expect to see Akeno on her knees, wearing an almost see-through robe with nothing underneath, sucking on Issei's fingers when she walked into the clubroom that morning.

Both Devils turned and saw Natsuki standing behind them, both having different reactions to seeing the girl. Issei had a grin on his face while using the hand that Akeno was not holding to give his fellow Pawn a thumbs-up. Akeno smirked when she and Natsuki made eye contact and proceeded to make an even more provocative showing of licking Issei's nearest finger.

"What's going on in here?" Natsuki finally asked after a few moments, her face blank and her voice eerily calm.

"The best thing ever!" Issei exclaimed.

Akeno smiled before going on to explain the process of removing the Dragon's Essence from Issei's arm so that the illusion spell that was placed on it to disguise the arm he had given up to Ddraig would hold.

"And there are no other ways of extracting the Dragon's Essence?" Natsuki asked once Akeno finished her explanation.

Akeno pressed her finger to her chin and pretended to ponder for a moment before answering, "Well, there is another way, but it involves a lot more contact."

Akeno then turned back to Issei, "Do you want me to touch you more, Issei?" Issei sat up and was about to answer when a dangerous chill raced down his spine.

"AKENO. What is the meaning of this?" Rias answered, standing directly behind Natsuki, but keeping her gaze directly on Issei and Akeno.

Natsuki looked between the three before moving to the side and letting Rias into the room, not wanting to be on the receiving end of her King's anger like the other two were going to be.

Akeno just gave her friend a closed eye smile, "Ufufu. We were just dispelling the dragon's power."

Rias' body began to shake as she struggled to control her rage and jealousy. "Do you really expect me to believe that is all this is?!"

As this was going on Issei quickly put on his clothes and tried to sneak out of the room unnoticed. His attempt was thwarted by Rias pinching one of his cheeks and roughly pulling on the skin.

"Ouch!" Issei cried out.

"Looks like you were having quite the bit of fun, hmm?" Rias coldly asked.

Issei tried to reassure the Devil King that he was not, but all his words came out incoherently and mumbled due to her still pinching his cheek.

Rias huffed, dramatically turning away from the other occupants in the room as she pouted. "Fine! Do as you please!" She yelled before leaving the room and slamming the door shut in her fury.

Akeno placed a hand on her mouth, "Jealousy is so cute on her. I didn't think she would get so jealous over our friendship, Issei-kun."

"Why was she so mad?" Issei asked while rubbing his sore cheek.

"You cannot be serious?" Natsuki mumbled, shaking her head at her friend's obliviousness. She did not understand how Issei could not see that Rias was jealous, especially since she had been throwing herself at him since the Rating Game and with how much she and Asia fight over him.

Some people just can't see what's right in front of them. Natsuki thought.

"Rias has always been hot tempered, Issei-kun, no need to worry about it. The Dragon Essence has been removed from your arm, so we'll meet back here for your next session." Akeno said once she stopped smiling to herself.

"Oh, okay. Thanks for your help, Akeno-senpai!" Issei said while buttoning up his shirt. He then left the room with a dazed look on his face, still thinking of Rias' reaction.
