Koneko Abuse-1

As Issei arrived in the living room from his shower, Akeno followed behind him he came to a rather tense sight, Koneko was sitting across from her sister Kuroka, the ears and tails of the dark-haired woman both lowered as she nervously picked at the kimono that did little to hide her curves.

Issei lowered to sit next to Koneko, leaning back he slid his feet forward and crossed at his ankles, while his arms spread out over the back of the couch.

Koneko reached out, gripping at his shirt with a lot of strength, the tension was only building.

''Look you two... No one is suspecting everything to clear up right away. Koneko has seen the evidence Kuroka, she understands what you went through for her... She understands the burden you shouldered for her, but that's in the past. You no longer need to shoulder that burden, Koneko misses you, that's all there is to it.''

''It won't be instant, it will take time, but what the both of you need to understand is that you are still family. For now, let go of the past and focus on your present and future, it won't be easy. The process of getting the proof out, and getting Kuroka's name cleared will be a hard one, but you need to remember not only are we backed by the Gremory clan, but even The Leviathan herself has offered her services... The Bael clan has stepped forward in case the need arises as well. It won't be instant, but in time Kuroka will no longer be considered a criminal.''

A lot of the strength Koneko was holding his shirt with seemed to lessen, Issek watching the back of her head for a moment before he continued. ''For now, since the relationships between the three factions will be steadying out as we prepare for the oncoming turmoil... You will get more chances to visit Koneko and interact with her without needing to stalk and hide your presence.''

Kuroka fiddled with her kimono some more before she spoke. ''How did you notice me?''

''Your scent, your race seeks out strong mates. When I dispatched the fallen angels, when I won against Riser, when I backhanded the pest from earlier, each time I could smell your arousal.''

The dark-haired woman blushed before she began to run away, from the house.

Issei sat there for a moment before he stood, Koneko speaking up as he walked towards the kitchen for food. ''Do you plan to add my sister?''

''I have to as a man of culture, of course, it is nearly sexual now, and I won't pursue anything if it remains that way, but hey. Maybe I'll end up loving her like I do everyone else?'' Issei chuckled a bit as he stopped at the door. ''Koneko, you did well. I know how hard it was to do that for you, we're all proud of you... But, that won't excuse you from training, prepare yourself... I will not be able to be nice during it.''

------------------------------------

Issei stood there, scratching at the back of his head. ''You know, I wish all of you weren't here to watch this.''

Koneko was across the field, stretching as she seemed to be mentally psyching herself up for what was about to take place.

The group was standing on Issei's side, away from him behind a barrier, Kuroka to the side of it, determined to watch this happen. Refusing to be absent from her sister's growth anymore.

Kiba shrugged. ''We've seen you take training seriously, but... We've never seen you try to do something like this. None of us have seen the 'Darkness' in you, never seen you angry, or letting your emotions run rampant.''

~"He's right Partner, you do keep a tight hold on your emotion.''~

Issei sighed as he began to stretch as well. ''For good reason, I would like to remind all of you. Asia, are you ready?''

She nodded from the sidelines, she was there because there would be injuries.

''Koneko! Ready?'' Getting a nod from her as well Issei Slav squat right there, taking a deep breath.

~The question is Partner... Can you do this?~

'I don't want to, but it's the quickest way, and with Gasper still training, we don't have the time. Please do not think of me differently.'

~I am connected with you, on a deeper level than anyone here. I am in your body, I am within the blood, your heart, your mind, your emotions. If anyone could understand how you feel, it is me. Do not worry about us changing our minds about you Issei, all of us have prepared for this.~

Issei stayed in his squat a bit as he began to bounce his fingers, then his wrist as he began to focus.

Letting himself loose he stood suddenly. ''Koneko, Left Shin.''

On instinct due to their hours of training before, she lifted her left foot to avoid the blow coming for her, only to look up as Issei appeared before her, his fist coming up and slamming into her abdomen.

Having hit her with enough force it looked like he was lifting her off her feet for a moment before she suddenly became a blur, shooting across the field and slamming hard against the barrier. As she rebounded off it Issei reappeared, turning as he performed a back kick against her face as slammed her back against the barrier. Pinning her between the barrier and his foot.
