Chapter 2

"Issei... can I come in?" Akeno called.

"Sure, come in, I'm just getting this damned algebra homework done... how are you feeling now Akeno?" Issei asked turning from his chair next to his desk.

.

"Thank you Issei... I'm feeling a bit better, something... just took over... also, I'm sorry..." Akeno whispered, her voice as quiet as a mouse.

"Sorry for what? No harm was done to me, and I shouldn't have barged in on you like that, I should be the one apologising." Issei sighed, looking confused by Akeno's apology, but upon seeing the tension held within her, he knew why she felt so guilty.

"I could have hurt you Issei, I... I hurt someone I care about, and somehow you don't seem to care what happened to you... why?" Akeno asked her voice weighed done by years of emotional distress and fear.

"I knew that there was something wrong, and I knew there may be consequences for what I did, and I can't blame you losing control, given what I heard and what I saw, also I care for you...it wouldn't Be right to blame you if you needed help." Issei proclaimed then as if he realised what's he was saying regarding his feelings, he mumbled, as he felt a sharp burning feeling in stomach, as if he was pierced by a light spear. Issei had his own issues to resolve, he knew that deep down he cared for the girls, and yet his relationship with Raynare had left him with scars that when he tried to show his feelings or when the girls did the same, his mind would begin to play scenarios were the girls end up killing him.

"Are our okay Issei? your sweating." Akeno walked towards issei and put her hand on himself forehead, checking for a fever.

"I'm okay Akeno... now um... could you tell me what's made you do what you did? if you're okay with that, I understand if it's difficult to talk about." Issei, asked as he put his hands up, showing he knew how difficult it was for her to say what was the matter with you.

"Okay... Today I had been tasked by Azazel to become stronger, in order to fulfil my role as queen, however, as part of this he had decided to get a trainer for me, who turned out to be my father, Baraqiel.

"I've never heard you bring up your father before... is he the reason you were acting the way you did?" Issei whispered, as the cogs in his mind tried to analyse what he had been told.

"Yes Issei, you see... me and my father do not have the best relationship... I haven't seen or heard from him in years. last time I saw him I was a child.

"Okay... why haven't you seen him in so long... did he do something to you, or did something happen? Issei looked to Akeno.

"He never did anything to me but, he failed as a father and a husband... my father many years ago was found by a priestess of a temple, he was badly injured and she nursed him back to health, and she fell in love with him. However she was removed from the temple for being tainted by an unholy creature. They left together and tried to make a normal life for themselves in the process, that's how I came about... Life back then was perfect... Then one day my father left for some unknown reason, and while he was away, during the night our home was attacked inquisitors from the temple, who believed my mother was a threat to them due to her corrupt matrimony with a fallen angel. They killed my mother in front of me and left me to watch my mother bleed to death... I couldn't do anything..." Akeno wept as she put her head in her hands, Issei pulled Akeno beside him and hugged her, holding her as close as he could.

"It's okay Akeno...let it all out... I'm here." Issei hushed as he felt Akeno's body tremor as her pain flowed through her tears.

"He came home, and I...I... lost it, he failed to protect us, and I couldn't stand to be near him, so I ran away... and that was how I was found by Rias." Akeno whimpered her voice breaking as she cried.

"But why did you hurt yourself, you were only a kid, when all that happened... You shouldn't blame yourself. Issei held Akeno closer, his voice marked with worry.

"I did that because I feel as if I deserve to be punished, when the inquisitors left me alive, I felt so guilty... I failed to save my mother, and I deserve to be punished... It was the only way I could feel anything..." Akeno whimpered

"So that's why Akeno's into SM...it's a way for her to deal with her guilty about her mother's death." Issei thought.

"Please don't think like that Akeno, you don't deserve to be in pain, you're a good person, with so much to live for, I couldn't bear to see you hurting yourself anymore." Issei pleaded, hoping Akeno would listen.

"I am a monster Issei, I'm a fallen angel, a creature that is evil in nature... you should know that better than anyone" Akeno sternly proclaimed as she turned away from Issei.

"What do you mean by that?" Issei asked, his voice marked with confusion.

"The whole reason your here is because of a fallen angel. Raynare killed you, she killed Asia, she was a monster, because she was a fallen angel... that makes me a monster as well." Akeno broke away from Issei, the feeling of guilt welling up inside her.

"That's not true Akeno, your nothing like Raynare, she was evil because she had an evil goal she had to a achieve, and nothing would stop her... Your not like that Akeno..." Issei pleaded.

"How do you know that Issei, I could be hiding my train nature so I can get what need. I want you to realise that... fallen angels are all evil, nothing good can come from someone like me." Akeno stood up from Issei's bed, her mind clouded by self-hatred and fear that she couldn't hurt Issei, her hand clenching as she felt her magical lighting beginning to charge up inside her.

"Your wrong... you taught me and Asia how to use magic, you have protected and served Rias since she found you, you have been a strong leader and a powerful warrior... you helped me manage my boosted gear after I gave away my arm... you couldn't be evil... it's not who you are. Issei whispered as he pulled Akeno into a deep hug, hoping his words would sooth her.

"Why is he doing this... he must see something I'm missing... I am a fallen angel, born from corruption, and evil, and yet even after his own terrible experience at the hand of Raynare he cannot see me as evil... I have tried my best to overcome the evil nature I was born from. Issei's right... I could have done so much evil if I truly wanted to and instead, I've helped so many people because... it's in my nature... it's who I am...not an evil fallen angel... but a good woman." Akeno told herself, as her guilt began to break away, as she felt Issei hug her tightly, she hugged him as well as she realised he was right about her.

"Thank you Issei... I haven't been able to see past all that, had happened to me... But you showed me That I was a good person, and I didn't deserve to be punished for what happened all the those years ago... Thank you." Akeno whispered as she held Issei tightly.

Issei blushing as his subconscious realised he had been up close and personal with Akeno's ample bust.

"Thank you again Issei, I don't think I would have been able to see who I truly am if it wasn't for you." Akeno smiled as he walked towards Issei's room door preparing to leave." Akeno smiled a smile he saw Issei blushing.

"Your welcome Akeno, I was so worried about you... I knew you needed help as I saw what happened in the bathroom... you know I'm always there in case you need a talk." Issei held Akeno's hand reassuring her of his promise.

"I knew you would say that Issei, I'll keep that in mind... well good night." Akeno opened Issei's door and walked out.

"Night... now on to this bastard... damn you Algebra." Issei sighed as he turned to face his greatest foe... Math's homework, a greater threat than all the fallen angels, hero faction members, and up their own ass devils.

"I can help you with that if you want... I'm pretty good at algebra." A voice called from the door; hitch was wasn't completely shut.

"Akeno is that you?" Issei chuckled.

"Yeah, I know it looks a bit confusing but with some personal tutoring, you can get it pretty quick, and that also goes for Algebra as well." Akeno purred As he entered Issei's room, putting as much sexiness into each word as was possible for a fallen angel.

"Hahaha...,I'd really appreciate it if you'd did help me out. Issei chuckled as she turned to see akeno smiling.

"Right...but first I need to do something... to help you focus... okay" Akeno smiled as she saw Issei's eye she light up.

"Okay, do what you go to do." Issei nodded content with whatever was going to happen.

"Could you close your eyes?" Akeno asked and Siena complied.

"What is it going to be... is she going to show off her assets a bit or maybe..." Issei thought until his he felt a soft sensation on his lips.

"She's kissing me" Issei roared in his mind as he felt his body turn to mush as he tried to process what was going on.

Akeno had planted a soft sensual kiss on Issei's lip, She felt him soften up as soon as her lips touched his.

They held the kiss for a while and broke, words could describe how they truly felt after the kiss and instead of talking they looked at each other lovingly and got straight work, trying to save Issei from the horrors of Algebra homework.

END.

Hope everybody enjoys this, it was an interesting thing to write, also a few answers to a few potential questions.

1 why Neon Genesis Evangelion- I love the anime, it's my favourite anime, so felt as if it would be a good idea to mention it.

2 why does Akeno hurts herself in this but to not in the show- I felt that given how traumatic the death of Akeno's mother was and how it had strained her relationship with her father, it seems that given the amount of pain it caused her, it would feel natural that someone's who views themselves as evil, and unworthy of love, would if they got pushed into the wrong situation may try to harm themselves as a way to cope with the stress and pain.

3 Why is Akeno scared of asking Rias for help? - Akeno knows she's has a role as her queen and doesn't want to burden her with her own issues even though she knows Rias would be there for her, also she fears it could harm the other members of the group, even if she doesn't realise it in the moment.

Hope you's enjoy and if you'd have any suggestions please let me know, also any questions about who my favourite characters are, or any other things I'm up for answering.
