A/N:

I AM ALIVE! Baby I'm back in action after like three months of total hiatus and a good half-year of leave from this fic. Life's been a bitch. School's upping the ante on the bitchiness. And with all the other shit in my life, it's been bad. My grandparents might die soon, it's shit.

Anyhoozers, I apologize profusely. I should've updated sooner. Enjoy the slow build up chapter and expect another by next week. I have a Naruto story planned as well as an update to The Rage of the Tyrant and Auryx. I'm waffling on the direction of Eveningshade and Inverted, so those won't be until next week sorry.

For the Naruto story, the gist of the concept is that he has the Shinigami sealed in him, and a (obviously female) Kyuubi sealed into his mother's corpse, bringing back a Kyuubi/Kushina combo. Combine that with a fem Sasuke, a Hinata that is the second coming of Kaguya Otsutsuki (Weird third eye and all) and a Sakura that's a literal Sakura Tree and Zetsu 2.0 and you get a crazy story. Lots of genderbends, lots of new abilities, and some plot points I've never seen touched on before (Danzo, or Danako as she will be called, is going to act very different, but still generally be the same person. A lot more involved in Naruto's life.) If this sounds interesting, then maybe check it out when I publish it. Give me some thoughts on this.

Here's the super boring buildup chapter...

The sound of a clock reverberated throughout the brilliant white room where it had been placed; its simple rhythm like a heart beat, and its ticking hands like a compass needle, pointing to the future. A single man sat within the same room, at a single desk in the middle. Piled on the desk were hundreds of papers, of which the man was signing en mass.

"Shaaaaaaa... It's as if these never end..." He whispered, the girl sitting across from him nodding and grunting in confirmation, "I need a break. Maybe... I'll get a... hmmmm... maybe an Ace can do these. None are too harmful, and as long as they have my stamp, they can officiate these. As you know, of course."

The girl smiled and nodded again, simply content with being alone with her long time friend. And recently instated boyfriend. She was absolutely giddy about the last part. God, the God, was her lover. She still wasn't convinced it was not all some elaborate dream. Well, she wouldn't be convinced if she hadn't been smashed so hard her every cell hurt. The pain showed this was definitely not a dream.

"Issei...?" She asked, her orange tresses swaying as she looked up.

"Yuh?" He replied, finishing sending a summons to three Ace-tier Angels.

"I love you." She replied in earnest, "A lot."

Both of them smiled, and slightly blushed at the same time. He simply replied with a "Hai" before standing and heading towards the door out of the highest peak of Heaven, the Office of God.

"Hamburgers, or ice cream and soup?" He asked, opening the door and exiting, Irina following close behind.

"Hand gugl-ack!" She said, choking on her spit and fumbling her words. She opened up her wings and flapped a few times to force it all out.

"I still haven't – urg- figured out how my new, powerful lungs work. Blasted things." Irina coughed, Issei smiling and laughing at her misfortune.

"Yeah, you really should practice more." He suggested, "Swimming with your wings in the Grand Bath Houses would be suggested. Helped me get used to it."

Irina stopped at that, hand on her chin in ponderance. Then she took out a flip-book and jotted down the suggestion.

"Good idea. Thank you, Issei Kami-sama."

"Don't call me that!"

"I won't stop it, you know."

She smiled at the interaction, and so did he. She really knew how to make him aggravated and enthused at the same time.

"I really do love you, Irina." He said as they warped down to their house in Kuoh.

She simply giggled as they left the Church grounds and marched on towards the town proper. Both were in a good mood ever since the Kokabiel debacle, even with the issue of him revealing himself, Rias, and the other converted Devils. It had been a bit awkward at first, but had quickly smoothed over with his explanation and Sirzechs backing of it. He had made Irina and Xenovia into Angels shortly after that giant shitshow of a press meeting, stating that any other way would have been awkward. They had been flooded with mail: fan mail, hate mail, 'fuck-me-until-I-have-your-babies' mail from some really enthusiastic fans, and official contract signing garbage that they had been shorting for three hours a day for the past week. The good 209~odd papers left on his desk were all that remained, and he didn't feel bad with having three Aces split that work. They could finish within the day.

"Is Rias..." Irina began, getting distracted by an odd looking man along with Issei, "Is... uh... Is Rias back yet?"

Issei simply sighed before replying, "No. She'll be gone for the next three days on visit with her family along with her peerage. We are mostly alone, since the others not with Rias are meeting with family of their own."

Irina simply nodded as they finally entered the restaurant and were guided to a table.

"Well, more time with you, I guess." She said, sighing dramatically, as if he was a burden.

"HEEEEY! Don't act like that, I'm fantastic company!" Issei said, going along with joke, judging by his humoured tone.

Irina chuckled.

"Pride suites thee not, Lord Issei. Readjust thyself in a more holy manner!" The orange-haired Angel joked, "But...uhhhh... really, we should be careful. Whether I fall or not, acting unholy will get us a bad reputation."

"Indeed." Issei replied.

They sat there for a moment before a waitress came around. Issei ordered a regular cheeseburger with two large fries and asked for a large water cup. Irina ordered two triple 1/3 pound burgers with extra cheese, extra lettuce, extra tomatoes, extra cheese again, and with two large fries per burger. Oh, and a soda. If this hadn't been the fourth time she and Issei came here, it would've been a surprise. As it was, it was simply regarded as "the usual" by the waitress.

Issei got up immediately after being given his large, see-though cup and filled it with hot water. He then pulled a stick of solid honey out of a bag in his pocket, and let it sit in the liquid and melt, slowly stirring it in all the while. Irina let herself be entranced by the motion. It was peaceful. Issei paused the stirring and broke her trance when the honey completely dissolved, and then squeezed a lemon into the mixture. He let it sit a moment, then stirred again before taking a sip and smiling.

"Haaaaa. My favourite." He sighed, "Simple and lovely."

Irina smiled in return, but silently gagged at the stuff. She hated it. It was like the stuff had schizophrenia and just couldn't figure itself out. Was it strong or weak in terms of flavour? Was it sweet or sour? She didn't know.

"I'll stick to soda, thank you very much." She said as he rolled his eyes at her.

"Can't stand too much of that stuff after I quit drinking it constantly. Too sugary." He replied, their waiter getting there just as he did.

The 'Feast of Irina', as the restaurant owner named it, took up half the table. Issei simply held his burger, while letting his fries sit near his drink.

"Goofd gudneff, Ic lub habdurgerz." She said, having taken a bite that went through all three layers at once and took up almost a quarter of the burger.

"Gluttony suites thee not, High Angel Irina." He joked, calling back to their previous conversation as she swallowed.

"I suppose not, Iss-"

She was cut off by an urgent looking Devil in a mailman's outfit.

"Devmail runner, Ishmalelelel, here at your service! Yes, that is my name, pronounced like that! Here is your package, oh Kami-sama!" The Devil said, using a few magicks to conceal himself and his package recipients as he handed the man a package and disappeared.

"What is it?" Irina asked.

"Hmmm. I don't know. Maybe something for my Build-a-Model collection... No, not urgent enough to use Devmail. Even if it was with a runner with a funny name." Issei replied, "Let's open it at home."

He quickly left 9000 yen , before leaving with his girlfriend and quickly casting privacy magicks. He took to the air with Irina in tow, launching towards the church. He landed in front of the doors, bursting into the main chamber and heading towards the stage of the church. He sat at the front pew with Irina, and quickly slit the top of the small package.

A official looking scroll fell out. He looked it over in a matter of seconds using his godly powers he got from Elaha, and then let it drop to the ground.

"Oh dear." He said, staring into oblivion.

"What? Irina asked.

"It seems we'll have company after all. The Phenex family want a word with us, as aparently their youngest daughter has decided..." Issei said, pausing for dramatic effect, "...that she wants to be an Angel."

Irina blinked.

"So? Tell her no." Irina said, "It'll solve their problem, and your rejection will probably turn her away and she'll find some other idol to worship. Whatever."

Issei sighed

"That's the issue... the parents want it to happen, and the suggestive parts of the text make it so I can't refuse." He said, "I need their help in unifying the broken Biblical Faction. They are simply to widespread, popular, and powerful."

Irina pouted and scratched her chin.

"Sounds like a trap." She said.

"Yup." He replied, sighing heavily, "A trap I have no choice other than to spring..."

Afterthoughts:

So thar' she blows!

It's finished, and we get a little bit of foreshadowing.

Anyway, review and like or subscribe... follow? Favourite? Hotel? Trivago.

Okay, okay. Enough with the jokes, and so long and thank you for all the fish!
