The Twist We Need

Little Issei and the Great Big World

Opening his eyes, Issei instantly reached his arm out towards the ceiling. "Oh shit! I swear I was just about to shit myself. I hate dreaming and seeing a toilet in the dream."

Finally, noticing his surroundings and seeing that he wasn't in the street anymore, Issei looked around to see where he was. Noticing the crimson bed, the crimson currents that surround the bed, the overly large bed that he was alone in, and the dark black ceiling, Issei felt as if he was trapped. Crawling over to the edge and moving the curtains, Issei sighed in relief seeing that he could escape. 'Wait, that doesn't explain how I'm alive. I swear I had a hole in my stomach.'

This must have meant that he didn't die. There was no way that he could be alive after that. Unless... Issei had super powers! Scratching himself gently to see if his skin would heal the small scratch, Issei didn't see anything. 'Okay, first option it is. It was just a nightmare.'

Walking towards the door in the middle of the room, Issei ignored all of the furniture and decorations that filled the room. Opening the door quietly, Issei was met with a very large and open hallway that stretched endlessly in his perception. 'This looks to be a trap. There is no way that a hallway would be this empty and this large.'

Beginning to slowly walk to the right, Issei noticed many doors. He didn't even want to open any of these doors. He wanted to find the exit before anything.

One step...

Two steps...

Holy shit, Issei could hear his footsteps. If he could hear his footsteps, not only that, but he heard his footsteps echoing throughout the hallway leaving him to think that anyone could hear him snooping around. 'Time for detective Issei. Where the hell is the exit?'

Having enough, Issei just couldn't handle being so slow and began running at full speed.

"I'm never gonna let myself be caught!" Running faster and faster, Issei watched as a door opened right in front of him and...

*BANG*

He slammed head straight into the door and fell right onto his back.

"What?" Sirzechs took a step out into the hallway to see Issei on the ground. "ISSEI!"

~ Time Skip ~

Opening his eyes again, this time Issei was met with Sirzechs right in front of him. Screaming and backing away, Issei banged his head into the end of the bed, hitting the frame of it. "You really like getting hit in the head, don't you?"

Sirzechs grabbed Issei by his hands and brought him closer to her. "Calm down Issei. It's just me."

"Sirzechs? Where am I?"

"You're in my room. Do you like it?" Looking around, Issei remembered this room as the same room he woke up in.

"It looks way too good. I didn't know you were this rich." Wait, she was rich! Frowning slightly, Issei pointed his finger at Sirzechs accusingly. "You were this rich yet you made me buy the tickets and the food for the movie! Not fair at all!"

Smiling warmly, Sirzechs gently squeezed Issei's hands, "I know, I know, but you looked so adorable doing all that. I just didn't want to ruin your moment back then."

Issei noticed that Sirzechs was still holding his hand and blushed, but he shook his head gently before asking, "Umm... how did I even get here?"

Sirzechs was questioning herself internally of whether she should tell Issei the truth of what happened bluntly rather than slowly telling him or should she come up with a lie to ease him into his situation before explaining the supernatural world to him, then tell him the truth once he's prepared. In all honesty, the second option was too much work for her and she didn't want to do that. "Issei, you died."

"Huh?"

"You remember that black-feathered woman?"

In an instant, Issei knew where this was going. However, he asked immediately, "How am I alive? If she did kill me, how am I still in one piece?"

Sirzechs, seeing Issei immediately agreeing with his death, sighed in relief in not needing to show him that he did indeed die, but now had a more difficult situation to explain. "I may or may not have stuffed a couple of teleportation pieces of papers into your clothing, bag, and phone."

Staring at her blankly, Issei responded, "That was you. I had a feeling it was you."

"I got a little paranoid and decided to teleport into your room while you were sleeping and stuffed them within." Blinking a couple of times, Issei was a little creeped out by that. "We're getting off track. Back to the main subject. When that woman had killed you, I teleported right in front of you. Seeing your death, I may or may not have snapped. However, that's beside the point, I revived you into serving me as a devil for your entire life."

Processing everything that Sirzechs was saying, Issei asked, "So, you revived me into being your slave?"

"It sounds terrible, I know, but that's just how we describe those we revive. In reality, you're just given a second chance and now I can always know where you go to make sure you're safe."

Issei needed a little more confirmation. Sirzechs saw his expression and decided to release her demonic wings. Issei widened his eyes and, in a couple of seconds, believed everything that Sirzechs said. Why would she lie to him? Not only that, but having confirmation that he did die and now knowing that his best friend revived him, it made him feel much better.

"So, no slave relationship, right?"

"Yes, no slave relationship. Just you and me being..." Rushing towards him and hugging him tightly, "best of friends for forever." She wrapped her wings around him and Issei finally began noticing the patterns in her wings and how soft they were.

Reaching out and gently caressing her wings, Sirzechs gently blushed in seeing Issei being so fascinated about something that she had. "These wings are so freaking cool!"

"You also have them too. I don't know how to explain how to show them to you though."

Issei had stares in his eyes, "Really! I love being a devil!"

"Did you also know that being a devil allows for more strength, speed, and the ability to do more magic?"

Squealing in excitement, Issei really wanted to know how to do magic so he could replicate Goku when he does his Kamehameha. "Can you teach me? Can you, please?"

"Of course!"

Speaking of which, Sirzechs was rich and she was a devil, did that mean she was very powerful? "How powerful are you?"

Sirzechs was hesitant in answering, but seeing Issei's innocent eyes, she couldn't help but indulge him slightly. Releasing nearly her full power in her base form, Sirzechs instantly regretted it when she watched Issei begin trembling in fear before passing out. His body, just from being in proximity to Sirzechs, was beginning to break down from the sheer power she exerted. "ISSEI!"
