Issei's House
'I don't think I've ever seen Ophis mad before.'
Clenching her fists, Ophis glared darkly at Issei, who was feeling a little mindful about how he was going to calm the Ouroboros Dragon down.
"Ophis-"
"Baka-Red." Ophis grumbled.
Issei gulped as he tried to sit still. He knew he wasn't the only one suffering. As soon as he and Great Red tried to teleport to the motorcycle tournament, Ophis appeared in the Dimensional Gap.
Needless to say, Issei and Great Red knew they were both in trouble. After looking regretfully at Great Red, Issei opted to teleport himself back to his home, as he knew Ophis would save him for last.
And now here he was, at the mercy of the Infinite Dragon God.
"Ophis-"
"Why, were you with Baka-Red?" Ophis asked darkly.
Issei wanted to point out that Great Red was actually the one who took him to the Dimensional Gap in the first place. But he didn't want to put his brother-in-law into any more trouble.
Sighing, Issei bravely walked up to the Dragon God, ready to explain.
"Earlier at school, I heard about a motorcycle racing tournament. Since you told me that Great Red liked doing crazy moves, I thought it would be a good event for him."
"..."
Issei blinked several times as he waited for Ophis to speak her mind.
The Ouroboros Dragon currently had conflicting thoughts. On one hand, she didn't like Great Red's influence on her mate, but on the other hand, the desire to keep Issei all to herself, predominated her thoughts.
"Ophis. do you really hate it when Great Red and I try to spend time together?"
"I, do not hate it. I, do not like it when you are not with me."
Issei widened his eyes in realization.
"So you wanted to go with us, then?"
Ophis walked closer to Issei and lifted her finger, placing it on Issei's forehead.
"It does not matter where you and I go. As long as I am with my Issei, then I am satisfied."
"Ophis…"
"I, love my Issei. When Baka-Red stole you from me when I was distracted, I, felt worry. Baka-Red has already stole and occupied my home for some time. The very act of Baka-Red trying to steal you away from me. That is unacceptable."
The young man widened his eyes when he felt Ophis' hands on his cheek. As he looked into Ophis' eyes, he no longer detected the usual emotionless or possessive look in her eyes. Her eyes now showed worry, emptiness, and…love.
'Ophis' eyes look so empty.'
Placing his hands on the Infinite Dragon God's own, Issei offered Ophis a soft smile.
"Ophis, you don't have to worry. Like I said, I'll be by your side. I'll protect you and be with you, anyway that I can. I promise you."
Issei then smiled wider and placed his hands on Ophis' chest, so he could feel the Dragon God's heartbeat.
"You always say you were born out of the Nothingness of Infinity. So if that's true, that must mean I'm the part of Infinity that…I guess in a way, overflows past Nothingness."
Ophis' eyes began to gain a softer edge as she listened to Issei's words. She widened her eyes when she felt something wet slide down from her eye.
"M-My Issei." The Infinite Dragon God stuttered.
Issei's smile softened as he went to rub the tear away from Ophis' eyes.
"You, Great Red, and I guess we're like a Trinity."
"A trinity?"
Issei smiled as he pointed to Ophis.
"The Nothingness of Infinity."
He then pointed to his own head, tapping it twice in alluding to dreams.
"Great Red, the Illusion of Dreams."
He then pointed to himself and paused.
"Hmm. Well, I don't exactly know what aspect of Infinity I represent, but I do know this. I'm the Infinity that completely fills up Nothingness."
Ophis stared wide-eyed at Issei.
'My Issei.'
The young man in front of her filled the Infinity she represented. He was one who existed to burst within the Void, to completely surpass the trenches of Nothingness. That was why Ophis felt so…content with Issei. He filled her…with so much raw emotion. He made her feel so much. So many emotions, an aspect she had always thought she would never experience.
Feeling herself overwhelmed by a sudden rush of emotion, Ophis locked her lips with Issei, once more claiming his lips as her own. The Ouroboros Dragon loved Issei deeply, her desire growing to the point that she wanted to be with him forever.
She, Great Red, and Issei all represented the aspects of Infinity, and although Ophis still didn't tolerate the presence of Great Red, as long as Issei remained with her, then she could endure.
Releasing her lips from Issei's own, Ophis hugged Issei in a softer grip.
"Are you all right now, Ophis?" Issei asked quietly.
"Yes, I am fine. My Issei."
Next Day at the Mansion of the Phenex Clan
"Huh. So this is the Phenex mansion."
"Issei. Why, are we here?"
Issei smiled as he looked over towards Ophis, who held his hand. The couple stood in front of a large white mansion.
"I'm supposed to get some benefits today, Ophis."
Ophis tilted her head as she looked at the mansion.
"Benefits?" She asked.
Issei nodded in response.
"Yeah," Issei began as he rubbed his head. "The Devils are so eager to give me Riser's inheritance. Well, might as well go inside."
As Ophis held his hand tightly, Issei walked with her inside the Phenex mansion, looking around his surroundings in awe.
"Issei."
Both Issei and Ophis looked to see Xuelan walking over to them with a smile on her face. Her smile faltered a little when she noticed the powerful aura of Ophis, but she managed to compose herself as she looked back to Issei.
"I'll show you to where the meeting is. I'm glad you could make it."
Xuelan led Issei and Ophis through a series of hallways and doors, until the trio stopped a door painted in gold. Gaining an almost nervous look on her face, Xuelan sent Issei a slight smile.
"This is it." She said as she opened the door, revealing a large number of Devils.
Inside the room were none other than Sirzechs Lucifer and Lord Phenex who both looked to see Issei. They both widened their eyes and tensed as they noticed the Ouroboros Dragon holding Issei's hand. But eventually they composed themselves and turned to look at Issei and nodded to them.
