Hello my lovely readers! I have decided to yet again, update without much time between my chapters. I know, I'm crazy. But I really just felt like writing today since I'm on Fall Break from college. Also, I wanted to give a huge thanks to everyone who has reviewed this story. It's making me realize certain mistakes I have made and I'm going to do my best to correct them. Now, I will most likely be making somewhat of an update chapter near the end, or after, the Riser Arc.

Now, without further ado, here is chapter 3!

Rose's Apartment.

Rose sighed as she walked into her apartment and locked the door behind her. Setting her bags down as she walked into her bedroom, she went to her dresser and got out a change of undergarments and some casual clothes for the trip to the art store. Setting the clothes on her bed, she made her way to her bathroom and took her clothes off. After she then let the water warm up, she got into the bath and sighed.

"Am I really okay with this?" She asked herself as she brought her knees to her chest and hugged them.

{ Is something wrong Rose?} Alseus asked her, the gem appearing on her right hand.

"I don't know Alseus. I'm just not sure how to handle all of this. I mean, I know I acted like it didn't really bother me when I found out I was a devil. But now…. I'm just so confused." She said to the dragon, holding her legs closer to her chest.

{ There is no shame in that Rose. You just didn't want to appear weak in front of people you didn't even know, along with the guy whom you have a crush on.} Alseus said and Rose blushed.

"S-Shut up, I do not have a crush on him. He's just a good friend." She said, her face red.

{ Rose, we are connected. I know how you feel about that boy, for whatever reason. Humans are such an interesting species. But aside from making you embarrassed, I have some news for you regarding our power. And also how I saved you from dyeing, again.} Alseus said.

"What did you find out Alseus?" The girl asked curiously.

{ Well, it seems other than the Absorb ability, we have two others as I mentioned before. Those abilities are called Release and Fusion. Release is the one you used last night on that Fallen Angel to hit her with that spear of light you absorbed.} The dragon spoke.

"So, you mean I can absorb attacks and just throw them right back? Could be useful in certain situations. What does Fusion do?" She asked.

{ I believe that it takes two or more of the Absorbed attacks and combines them into one attack. Looks this is extremely taxing on your magic reserves and your own body. I would not use this lightly.} Alseus said to Rose.

"I see… I do still need to learn magic. I kind of left yesterday before Rias could try and teach me anything." She said with a light chuckle. "What about the last part?" She asked.

{I think I will save for our meeting tonight, you have a date to get ready for.} The female dragon said with a chuckle and Rose's face turned red.

"It's not a date!" She yelled before cutting off her connection to Alseus and then started washing her body.

After she finished her bath, Rose went and put on her clothes. She then looked into the mirror in her room and began to brush her hair. She then smiled at her reflection and the frowned when she saw her fangs. She then clenched her fists and took a deep breath before she unclenched them. She then shook her head lightly and went and got her sketch bag and her apartment keys and left to meet Issei.

Hyoudo Residence

Issei stood outside waiting for his friend to get there so they could go shopping for her art supplies. When he saw her walking towards him he smiled and waved at her. Rose then waved back and smiled back. Whenever Rose got to Issei she looked at him.

"Hope you didn't wait too long." She said as the two began to start walking towards the shopping district.

"Not at all." He said with a smile.

Shopping District

As the two finally got to the shopping district Rose immediately went for the art store, hoping they had the supplies she needed. Issei then followed her into the store and began looking at different types of sketch pencils, sketch pads, and detailing pencils. Looking around in the store, Rose looked genuinely happy. Issei smiled that she was having a good time, it was nice seeing her smile.

After spending about an hour in the store, Rose finally found what she was looking for and bought it. The two then walked out of the store, Rose having a huge grin on her face and she hummed happily.

"You love to draw don't you." Issei said with a smile.

"Of course, it's been my passion ever since I was little." She said as the two kept walking, not looking where they were going until they bumped into someone.

"Ow!" A girls voice said as said girl and Issei both fell.

Issei then looked up and saw that he bumped into a girl who appeared to be about sixteen and was dressed in a nuns outfit.

"Oh, I'm so sorry about that." He said getting up and extending her a hand. "I should have been paying attention to where I was going." He said to the girl who took his hand and brushed herself off.

"N-No, it's alright. I should have been to the one looking where I was going." The girl replied to him.

"What are you doing around here Sister?" Rose asked the girl.

"I'm just trying to find the church, I was sent here to study under some of the local Sisters." The girl said. "Oh, and my name's Asia, Asia Argento. I'm not really a Sister yet." Asia replied sheepishly.

"Oh, well. If you're lost we can help you." Issei said and Rose nodded.

"Yeah, it'd be no problem for us." Rose said and Asia looked at the two and nodded.

"Thank you both so much! The Lord is truly shining down on me today." She said and the mention of God made the two devils wince in pain a bit. It was then that Asia's stomach made a growling noise and the two looked at her.

"Are you hungry?" Rose asked the girl and she nodded. "Come on, there's this great burger joint near here that I've dying to try." Rose said.

Burgers!

As the three of them sat down and ordered their food. They began to make small talk until their food came and Asia stared at her food.

"This may seem odd, but I've never actually had a burger before." She said, a bit of a blush of embarrassment on the girl's face.

"Not a problem, you just eat it like this." Issei said before taking a bite out of his burger.

Asia then grabbed her burger and took a bite before smiling at it and holding her cheek with one of her hands.

"It's so good!" She said before she took another bite. The other two smiling at her.

"How come you've never had a burger before Asia?" Rose asked the girl, taking another bite of her own burger.

"At the church we were only given water and bread, so as to keep ourselves pure." She said. "But I wish we had something like this instead!" She said.

"That doesn't seem like a healthy way to live." Rose retorted and Issei nodded.

"Stick with us and we'll treat you to stuff like this almost every day." Issei said with a grin and Asia smiled and nodded.

After the trio finished their food and drinks, they then paid for them and left. As they were walking to the church Rose couldn't help but feel bad for the girl. Only living off brad and water for who knows how long. As they neared the church they bid Asia farewell and the young girl bowed to them.

"Thank you again for helping me, I'll be sure to keep you both in my prayers." Asia said before the two smiled at her.

"That's very kind of you Asia." Rose said with a smile. "I'll keep you in mine as well."

With that her and Issei left, going towards the clubroom to do their contracts for the night.

Clubroom

When they got there Rose sat down on one of the couches next to a smaller girl with greyish hair and small origami cat hairpin. Rose then looked at the girl with a raised eyebrow. The girl then looked at Rose and held out a small piece of candy.

"Oh." Rose said taking the candy. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The younger girl said before eating some of her own candy as Rose ate the piece she was given.

After sitting for a few minutes Rias and Akeno walked into the room and Rias clapped her hands, getting everyone's attention.

"Okay everyone, tonight we have a few contracts to fulfill. So, let's go out there and do our best okay?" She said and everyone nodded.

As everyone left on their individual contracts, Rias stopped Rose.

"Are you sure you're going to be alright doing one of these?" Rias asked the girl, worriedly.

"I'll be fine, besides, if I'm not up for it. I'll just teleport back." Rose said. "By the way, you need to teach me how to do that." She said.

"I don't have the time to right now. You're contracter wanted you by six and it's almost that time." Rias said. "But I'll let you borrow the spell circle, just hold out your left hand." Rias said and Rose did so.

Rias then had the spell circle for the teleportation spell appear on her hand and placed it onto Rose's. the circle flashed before it showed vaguely on Rose's hand.

"It's a one time use, so be careful. When you get back I promise to teach you it so you won't have to use it like this again." She said and Rose nodded.

"Then I'm off to do my contract, see you later Prez." Rose said walking for the teleportation circle, waving her hand.

Unknown location(?)

Rose stepped out of the circle for her to be in front of an apartment room, shrugging, she then knocked on the door and waited. After a few minutes a man with a fedora hat on answered the door.

"You called for a Gremory devil?" She asked and the man nodded.

"Yes, I did. Please, come inside." The man said and ushered her inside the room before closing the dorr.

"So, what will I be doing?" She asked and the man motioned to the little island countertop he had in the kitchen.

"I just wanted someone to drink with and play a board game with tonight. You are of age, right?" The man asked and she nodded.

"I am in this country." She said as they took a seat.

"What'll you have?" The man asked opening his fridge, showing a large collection of assorted beers and other alcoholic drinks.

"Got any Scottish drinks?" She asked and the man handed her a bottle of Glenfiddich Scotch Whiskey and a shot glass before grabbing a regular beer himself and sat back down. The two then began drinking while talking about current events.

Back with Issei and his contract.

Issei walked into the apartment where his contract was to be at and saw the place dimly lit. A strange smell filled the air as Issei walked into the living room and covered his mouth as not to lose his lunch. On the wall he saw who he believed to be his contractor on the wall, his blood all over the walls. A

sinister laughter then came from the hallway. Turning the hallway he saw a man with white hair and exorcist robes on with a psychotic grin on his face.

"You must be the shitty devil this shitty devil worshipper summoned. Oh what a joyous day! I get to kill you as well!" The man said.

"You did this!?" Issei exclaimed, hatred in his voice.

"Of course, he was a devil worshipper who deserved to die. Next to die is you shitty devil. But he question is, how should I kill you? With my sword or with my gun? So many desicsions. Aw fuck it, why not use both!" The priest exclaimed and pulled out a hilt that that extended a glowing white blade.

"Oh shit." Issei said and summoned his Gear, rolling out of the way of the swing.

"Stay still devil!" The man says as he swings again. Issei then dodges the swing and punches the man in the face, sending him into the back wall.

"Who the hell are you?!" Issei exclaimed.

"Who am I? Dear devil I am none other Freed Sellzan! But since you won't be alive for much longer, I suppose it was a waste to tell you." Freed said and rushed at Issei.

Issei dodged Freed again, this time though, Freed used his gun and shot Issei in his left leg with a holy bullet. As Issei then struggled to get up, he threw a punch at Freed who sidestepped him, and cut him on his back with the sword.

"How do you like that, you shitty little devil?" Freed asked with a wide smile.

As Issei laid there bleeding, Freed walked over to him with a sickening smile. As Freed was about to strike was about to make the final strike on Isse a high pitched scream was heard and Freed and Issei both looked to see Asia covering her mouth at the sight of the dead body.

"oh oh oh, I forgot you are a newbie. This is what we do my dear. We kill humans who have strayed off the path of righteousness and made contact with devils." Freed said, walking over to the girl who was slowly shaking her head.

The girl then looked at Issei and both their eyes went wide, she was slowly shaking her head.

"N-No, this isn't right!" She said to Freed who looked at her with disgust. Freed then slapped Asia and she hit the ground.

"You bastard!" Issei yelled and struggled to get up, this earning him a bullet in his other leg and he cried out in pain.

"Now now, wait your turn." Freed said as he bent beside Asia.

"Don't you dare touch her you sick fuck!" He said and Freed looked over at him.

"You just can't wait, can you?" Freed asked as he stood up. "Well, then I guess I'll just go ahead and kill you!" He yelled, jumping up with his sword pulled back ready to kill Issei.

Issei closed his eyes and waited for the blade of light to finish him off. Only when a clang of metal sounded did he look up and see a magic circle and Kiba holding Freed off with his own sword. Then out of the circle came Koneko and Akeno. Akeno was smiling about something while just walked over and picked up a piece of furniture with ease, ready to throw it at Freed.

"Sorry, he's with us." Kiba said as Freed just grinned.

"Well if isn't the whole group of shitty little devils! Come here to let me kill all of you?" He said as he backed away from Kiba to dodge a streak of black lightning.

The magic circle then disappeared to show Rias holding her hand out, which was sparking with the black lightning. Glaring at the man.

"Ooooh that face!" He said holding his shoulders. "It just sends chills down my body! Makes me want to kill you even more you shitty little devils." Freed said.

"I've never met an exorcist with a mouth on them like yours." Kiba said with a smirk.

"You made my poor servant suffer." Rias said, a demonic aura surrounding her. "I do not forgive those who make my servants suffer, so I shall make you suffer like he has!" She said.

"Fallen Angles." Koneko said as she sniffed the air and Rias cursed silently.

"Time to go Rias." Akeno said as Rias cast a magic circle under them, Kiba picking up Issei and slinging him over his shoulder.

"But President, what about Asia?!" Issei said extremely worried about the girl.

"I'm sorry Issei, only my servants can be transported by my spell." Rias said with sorrow. Then as the circle began to come up, teleporting them back to the clubroom, Issei held out his hand towards Asia.

"No! Asia!" He yelled as they finished teleporting.

Clubroom, que the sad music.

After the group had teleported back to the clubroom, Issei was set down by Kiba on one of the couches. Issei then let his head fall down as he clenched his hands. Cursing whatever deity was out there listening. Only when someone put their hand on his shoulder did he look up to see Rias there.

"I am truly sorry Issei." She said with sorrow. "I wish we could have taken her with us."

"I know Prez." Issei said, his voice hollow.

"We'll go back for her, I promise." Rias said before taking her hand off Issei's shoulder and walking over to the rest of the group.

"Where's Rose?" Akeno asked, she wanted to torment the poor girl. Everyone just shrugged.

"She should be getting back from her contract soon hopefully." Rias said as a magic circle appeared and Rose stepped out of it groggily, a hand on her lower throat. Her eyes were struggling to stay open as she took a few steps before she put hand on the couch to steady herself.

"Cuimhnich orm nach deoch sin a-riamh a-rithist." She said, rubbing her throat. Everyone looking at her funny.

"You okay Rose?" Rias asked and the girl gave her a thumbs up.

"Oh I'm peachy." She said before she giggled. "Just had a bit too much to drink with my client." She said as her knees buckled and she fell on her butt, laughing a bit.

"You were drinking?" Kiba asked and she shrugged.

"I'm of legal age, besides I'm from Scotland, we drink that much at a pub almost every time we go there." She said before she covered her mouth and coughed. "That's never happened before." She said showing her hand to her fellow peerage members, it had a bit of blood on it.

"You sure you're okay Rose?" Rias asked and the girl nodded again. Koneko then walked over to the girl, grabbed her hand, and sniffed her blood along with Rose's breath.

"I smell silver, and very strong alcohol." She said looking back to Rias.

"Silver is like a poison to vampires." Akeno said, moving to the girl's side. "We need to get it out of her system and quickly." She said.

"How do we do that?" Issei asked, now out of his daze. His wounds hadn't healed much, but the bleeding had stopped.

"We either pump her stomach, though that option isn't viable right now because it's already coursing through her system. Or she has to take the clean blood of someone to dilute the silver until her body has enough strength to remove it itself." Akeno said, holding the girl as blood began to trickle out of her mouth. "We're lucky that she is only a quarter vampire, if she was any more we'd have a serious problem on our hands." She said.

"So, whose blood does she have to drink?" Issei asked.

"It usually doesn't matter, but for her, I'm not sure." Akeno said.

"Tha mo amhaich air teine." She whispered as her eyes continued to flutter.

"She can take mine." Rias said.

"Are you certain Rias? It could be dangerous." Akeno said and Rias nodded.

"She is my servant, and I will not have her dying on me." She said as she held her wrist out for Rose. "Now drink."

Akeno had to partially open Rose's mouth and place her small fangs on Rias' wrist before her fangs grew and she bit into Rias, a grunt of pain coming from her. As Rose began to feed off Rias, her eyes slowly opened and they were red again.

After a few minutes of Rose slowly feeding off of Rias, the girl pulled her fangs out and took a deep breath. A bit of the blood she had sucked from Rias was on her lips.

"Tapadh leat." She said to Rias as her eyes turned back to their normal blue and she fell asleep.

"She won't wake up until her body has gotten rid of the silver completely. Kiba, mind helping me move her to the other couch?" Akeno said and Kiba nodded, the two of them laying her down on the other couch and Akeno put a blanket over the girl.

After that little fiasco was done, everyone was sent home and Issei teleported to his room with Rias. She said that she would speed up his healing process so that'd he'd be good as new in the morning. So, with a heavy sigh he got into the bed after he changed into his sleepwear. Rias getting in the bed behind him, the two then slowly drifted off to sleep.

Alright everyone, that'll do it for chapter 3! I want to once again thank everyone who has followed, favorited, or reviewed. All of you guys reading and enjoying my story make writing it worth it.

So, if you are enjoying it and you're new to the story, don't forget to do any of the above if you want to.

Also, thanks to everyone for the reviews, it really helps me get a better understanding of what this story has or what it lacks. Now don't worry, I'm not going to do anything crazy in future chapters.

But I will leave you guys to vote on something for a future chapter. If you guys want a lemon in a future chapter review or send me a pm with a yes or something like that, or do the same with a no. After about a few days, I'll tally up the votes and make a decision based on it. Now the reason I'm asking this, is because a lot of the stories I've read about this have had lemons in them and I wanted to give everyone a choice on whether or not I do it so I don't make some of my readers uncomfortable.

Other than that, not much else to announce or to say but have a nice day everyone. Till the next chapter! Bye!
