Alright, chapter 3, let's do this. Gotta say I'm really having a lot of fun with this. Like I said I'm trying to keep updates frequent but I am a slacker so sometimes I'm just too lazy to write. Before we get started I'd like to answer a review I got:

Reaperblaze – Yes, he will but I'd like to keep that a secret for now. Don't worry, won't be long till I reveal it. Thx for reading and reviewing.

Ok, on with the show.

Chapter 3

Yoichi P. O. V

A lot of things happened yesterday. First off after finding out I was a pawn, (which totally sucks by the way) I found out about things called a sacred gear. They're basically items with powerful abilities bestowed upon certain humans by the original god of the bible. Issei has one which was a red gauntlet with a green orb on it. While he has one I'm just left without anything. Is it just me, or is my luck just terrible? Moving on, besides that Rias also sent me on my first job which was to hand out leaflets with easy to use magic circles on them. Apparently when humans with strong greed take these into their hands and wish for what they want, then we, devils, will be summoned before them. I was given a portable machine with a monitor that displayed a map of the town I'm in. There are red lights flashing on it. I go to the area where it's flashing at, which is someone's house and put the leaflet in their mailbox. Then, repeat. After I finished that job, Rias decided to give me another one which was to make a contract with a human. We got two summons and she decided to have me and Issei handle it since we're both newbies. This was how it went…

Flashback

Akeno prepared a magic circle for me to jump through. She said it should be easy because even a child devil could do it. After I was told that, I was also told how Issei wasn't able jump through, which was hilarious.

"It is prepared Buchou." Akeno said.

"Good. Now Yoichi, go stand on the magic circle and it will teleport you to the location." Rias told me.

"Ok." I answered as I got on. I closed my eyes and then I was gone. YES! I was able to go through. That was my thought until I remembered the task at hand. You see, how this works is that when we devils are summoned we have to fulfill the wish of the person who summoned us and in exchange he makes a contract with us.

"I want you to be my personal butler for a bit." She said. The person who summoned me was a woman around her late 20's and I had to do all sorts of things. First, she asked me to clean up her house for her. Which wouldn't have been so bad if the house didn't LOOK LIKE A FUCKING HURRICANE HIT IT. But either way I did my job. Second, I had to make her dinner and as you know, I can't cook. So I played it safe and just made us some ramen which was the only thing I CAN cook. She didn't really mind so that was cool of her. After that, she started going crazy with alcohol and let's just say… she's quite a mess when drunk.

"Uwaaaaaahhhhhh." She cried. "I'm dried up. WHAT'S THE POINT? I'll never get a boyfriend. I'm just gonna grow old with a dried up old job and die aloooooone."

That's right. I ended up having to deal with a drunk woman who was basically a vulnerable mess. My instincts were telling me to just book it but my conscience was telling me to at least help her get to sleep first instead of just leaving. In the end my morals got the better of me and I ended spending the next half hour getting her to bed. I thought that was the end of it but then I remembered that she fell asleep before I could make a contract with her. DAMMIT.

Flashback End

Yea, that happened. All that aside though, when I got back, something interesting happened.

Flashback

"Buchou, I'm back." I called out as I came in but what I was greeted with was a tense room. Something must've happened.

"Hey, what happened? It's so tense in here." I asked. Turns out the house of the client that summoned Issei was invaded by a stray exorcist and he is being healed right now in the shower room. In case you didn't know, exorcists are members of the church that are tasked with killing devils, fallen angels, vampires and demonic creatures that can potentially harm humans. HOWEVER, occasionally, there may be exorcist that strays from the teachings of god and are exiled from the church making them a stray exorcist. They also told me stray exorcists usually go to the fallen angel's side though they may approach other groups as well.

Hearing that I gotta say I'm a bit happy. I mean I know Issei's injured but this means the stray exorcist that attacked him may be a lead for me to find Dohnaseek. Maybe I'll go look for him later. Oh yeah, one more thing. After Issei was done being healed he also started talking about some girl called…Asia? I think, and about how they had to leave her behind with that stray exorcist. Apparently she's a nun that Issei met and by what he said, she doesn't seem so bad. Rias's answer was what I expected though

"Don't get involved with Asia, she's part of the church." She told him. I would've said something but I didn't know enough about the situation so I just chose to leave and not get involved.

Flashback End

Yeah, a lot of stuff. What's going on now you ask? Well, I am currently getting my ass handed to me by Kiba. Before I left yesterday, I asked Kiba and Koneko if they could come over to my house early in the morning to spar a bit before school. Koneko said she didn't want to but Kiba said he was alright with it. I'll say this right now, Kiba is one troublesome opponent. He moves too fast for me to see, let alone react. Also, I'm pretty sure he was going easy on me. From his fighting style, he's a swordsman through and through. He was more comfortable fighting with a sword while I preferred to use my fist.

"OUCH." I shouted as Kiba knocked me flat on my ass again with his bokken.

"Sorry Yoichi-kun. Should we stop now?" He asked as he got out of his fighting stance. We've been sparring for about an hour and each time he would knock me down. However, I am starting to get use to his attacks now. I think I got this.

"One more time Kiba." I said getting in a stance. Kiba in response nodded and got in his own stance.

Swoof!

In a flash he was gone.

'Not this time." I thought to myself, now being able to see him a bit. As he was right in front of me he swung his bokken sideways but I managed to dodge this time. His eyes widened at that, obviously surprised I was able to keep up with him this time. As he was in shock, I took the chance to swing my fist with everything I got towards his stomach. Unfortunately, being more experienced, he moved himself swiftly to block my attack and return his own.

"Gugh." I coughed as the hit connected, sending me flying back. I stayed down for a bit clutching my stomach.

"You ok man?" he asked and I nodded.

"How did you dodge that?" I wheezed out, still feeling the effect of his blow to my stomach.

"From experience. I've gotta admit though, it's impressive that you're able to see my movement after only an hour of sparring." He complimented with a smile.

"When it comes to fighting, I thought I was very talented. I might have been slightly wrong." I said, trying to keep a smile on my face.

He laughed as he replied, "You are. Just not as good as me yet. In any case, I think that's enough for today. I have to get home and get ready for school." He said as he started walking away.

"Alright, see ya." I replied as I went inside my house to take a shower and change clothes. No harm in skipping school today.

Later, Third Person P. O. V

After Yoichi finished taking a shower he went out for a walk. He was now wearing a black hoodie with black skinny jeans. His jet black hair as messy as ever. He was lost in thought.

'These bruises are gonna be here for a while aren't they.' He thought as he looked at the bruise on his hand and remembered the ones on his body when he looked at the mirror. 'I'd ask Rias to do whatever it is she did to heal Issei but they told me that it takes skin to skin contact for the process and I don't feel like getting naked with her JUST to heal myself.'

Bump

He was so deep in thought that he suddenly bumped into someone. Yoichi was still standing steady but the person he bumped into was on the ground. Said 'person' was a beautiful girl that looked around his age. She had blonde hair and is wearing what looked to be a nun outfit. She was also wearing a cross around her neck.

"Sorry, are you ok?" Yoichi asked as he extended his hand to help her up. When she looked up and saw him she blushed a bit which was understandable. Yoichi was a bit on the good looking side, not as good as Kiba, but still noticeably handsome.

"Y-yes, thank you." She said as she took his hand and stood up.

"You don't look like you're from around here. Are you a foreigner?" Yoichi asked.

"Yes, I am. I actually moved here not too long ago." She told him. "By the way, why is your hand bruised?" She asked.

"Oh this? It's nothing, just a little…physical labor that I did." Yoichi replied.

"Please let me see it." She said.

"Um, ok."

When Yoichi showed her his hand she hovered her hand on top of his bruise and a green light orb appears from her palm, flashing at the bruise. When the flashing stopped and she removed her palm the bruise was gone.

"There you go. Now it's gone." She said but when she looked up she saw Yoichi standing there with his eyes wide and frozen stiff. "Um, are you ok?" She asked.

'OH MY GOD, she healed it.' He thought to himself. 'How– wait a second. That glowing orb on her hand looked just like the one on Issei's gauntlet. Which means…SHE HAS A SACRED GEAR.'

"Uh, is it ok if I ask for your name?" Yoichi asked and she nodded.

"It's Asia. Asia Argento." She replied.

'Asia? That sounds familiar.' Yoichi thought and then his eyes widened with realization. "Asia-san, do you have anywhere to go right now?" He asked.

"No not really." She replied.

"In that case, could you come with me for a bit. I wanna confirm something with a friend of mine." Yoichi told her.

"Oh, um ok."

At The Park

I was currently taking Asia to school so I could confirm with Issei if this is the Asia he was talking about. As we were walking by the park though, I saw Issei sitting at the bench in his casual wear. He must've skipped school too.

"Hey Asia, can I ask you something?" I asked her.

"Sure." She replied.

"Do you know that guy sitting at the bench over there?" I asked pointing at Issei. When she looked at where I was pointing her eyes widened and she immediately ran over to him.

"Haha, I'll take that as a yes then." I said quietly.

Issei P. O. V

I got up from the bench I was sitting at. I was about to go get some food and go home but as soon as I got up the color gold appears to my eyes. When I looked over I saw a familiar blonde haired girl.

"…Asia?"

"Issei-san." She said with a smile. How? How is she here?

"Sup Issei." A voice greeted. I looked over and saw Yoichi walking over to us.

"Yoichi? What is this? What's going on? How is she here?" I asked several questions.

"Surprise!" He said with a grin.

Later Yoichi P. O. V

I explained to Issei about how I bumped into her on the streets and was about to bring her to school to go meet him. After that, we decided to take Asia to a fast food restaurant and get some food since it was lunch time. I found out Asia couldn't speak Japanese and that the only reason she's able to speak with me and Issei is because that's one of the powers of being a devil. Pretty useful. That kind of made it hard for Asia to do things like order the meal and stuff though. HECK, she didn't even know that you had to take off the wrapper on the burger before you ate it. She must've been quite secluded.

After the meal we took her to an arcade and played a few games. Majority of the time I kinda felt like the third wheel in all this because those two were the ones who were having a conversation throughout the whole time. Issei was also being a real gentleman with Asia. He even won a stuffed animal for her in one of the games but something that she said after he did caught my attention.

"This stuffed animal will forever commemorate my friendship with you two." She said causing Issei to smile brightly.

"Okay! We haven't started yet! Asia, Yoichi we will play for the whole day today! Follow me!" He said as he led us onto the next game while me and Asia smiled.

"Y-yes." She said. She then looked at the stuffed animal with a sad smile. "Yes. This friendship is… a special one that lasts only one day." Though she whispered that last part I still heard it. What is that supposed mean exactly?

Some Time Later, Third Person P. O. V

"Ah, we played a lot today." Issei said. It was already evening and the 3 of them were walking on the street while laughing.

"Y-yes…I'm a bit tired…." Asia replied while Yoichi just shrugged. They had skipped school and had fun till dusk. The 3 of them were feeling quite tired.

"Oh." Issei nearly tripped over due to the uncomfortable feeling on his leg. It was the wound he got from yesterday when he was shot by the stray exorcist.

"…Issei-san, are you injured? Is it from yesterday?" Asia asked, her expression getting cloudy. She bent down and started checking the injury.

"Can you please lift your trousers up?" She asked.

"S-sure." Issei said as he lifted his trousers to have his calf exposed revealing a bullet mark there. Asia then places her palms on it and a green light shines on it. 'It feels warm and gentle.' He thought to himself. After the light dies down Asia urges him to move.

"How is it?" She asked and Issei moved his leg a bit but felt no pain whatsoever.

"This is amazing Asia. I don't feel uncomfortable anymore! I don't feel any pain at all!" Issei said happily. "Your amazing, Asia. The healing power, it's an incredible power."

"It's a sacred gear right?" Yoichi asked the question that was on both his and Issei's mind.

"Yes, it is." She answers.

"To tell you the truth, I also have a sacred gear. Though it's not much of use right now, that is." Issei tells Asia and her eyes widened.

"Issei-san, you also have a sacred gear? I didn't realize it at all." She says in shock.

"Hahaha, I don't even know its effect and to compare it, Asia, your power is amazing. This can heal human, animals and also devils like me and Yoichi right?" Issei asked and her eyes widened again. 'So she knows he's a devil huh?' Yoichi thought to himself.

"Wait, Yoichi-san is a devil too?" She asked and Yoichi nodded with a smile.

"Yup." He answered. She then put on a complicated expression, then a sad face. Soon after a single drop of tear falls from her eyes. Then, more tears started to flow out. She then got down and started crying. Issei didn't know what to do and was starting to panic while Yoichi on the other hand stayed calm and decided to bring her to a bench on the roadside.

A few minutes later Asia apologized for her sudden outburst. She then proceeded to tell them both a story about the girl who was once called a "Holy Maiden". In a certain region of Europe, there was a girl who was discarded by her parents. She was raised in a church nearby by a nun along with many other orphans. The girl was a strong follower of the church and gained a special power at the age of 8. She healed a wounded puppy, and a person from the Catholic Church witnessed it by accident.

From there on, her life changed. The girl was taken to the main Catholic Church and was symbolized by many as a "Holy Maiden" because of her healing power. She had no dissatisfaction for how she was treated. People from the church were kind and she didn't hate healing people so she was instead happy that her power was of use. The girl was happy for the power bestowed upon her by god but she was a bit lonely. She didn't have any friends she could open up to.

Everyone treated her nicely and was nice to her but there was no one willing to become her friend. She understood why, she knew they were looking at her power as something irregular. They didn't look at her as a human but as a creature that could heal humans.

But one day, it changed. By coincidence, there was a devil nearby and she healed it. A wounded devil, the girl couldn't ignore it. She thought that even if it was a devil, she had to heal it if it was injured. It was her kindness that made her take such action but that changed her life forever. One of the people from the church saw that incident and notified the others of the church. The ministers of the church were shocked about it.

"A power that can heal devils!?"

"Something absurd like that cannot happen!"

"The power of healing can only heal the followers of god!"

Yes, there were several people who had the power to heal but the power to heal devils was out of the question. The people of the church thought it was common sense that the power of healing doesn't work on fallen angels and devils. Apparently, a similar incident happened in the past. The power to heal fallen angels and devils were not protected by god and was feared as the power of a "witch". So the people saw her as a heretic.

"Damn witch that heals devils!"

The girl who was respected as a holy maiden was then feared as a "witch" and the Catholic Church abandoned her. In other words, she had to get divine protection from the fallen angels but the girl never forgot to pray to god. She also never forgot to thank god. Even so, the girl was abandoned. God didn't save her. What shocked her was that there was not a single person in the church that was willing to defend her. There was no one who cared about her. And this girl was Asia.

"…..It's because I didn't pray enough. It's because I'm clumsy. I'm so stupid that I can't even eat a burger by myself." She said wiping her tears while laughing. "This is also a trial that the lord gave me. Since I'm a clumsy nun, the lord gave me this trial. So I have to endure it." She was laughing as if talking to herself. "I'm sure I will make lots of friends one day. I have a dream. I want to go buy flowers with a friend, read books and…talk…"

Issei who heard didn't know what to say for a moment but quickly recovered and said,

"Asia, I will become your friend. No, we are already friends." He said causing Asia to look puzzled while Yoichi was smiling with his eyes closed already knowing what Issei was going to say. "I'm a devil, but it's alright. I won't take your life and I won't take any price! You can call me whenever you feel like it! Ah, I will also give you my mobile number." He said reaching into his pocket.

"….Why?" She asked in shock.

"It's not why! Asia you played with me and Yoichi for the whole day right? We talked right? We laughed together right? Then you and us are friends! A human, a devil or god doesn't matter! We are friends!" Issei said.

"Is that a pact with a devil?" She asked.

"It's not! You, Yoichi and I are going to become actual friends! We will put other things aside! We will talk when we want to, we will play when we want to and I will also go shopping with you! Whether its books or flowers, we will go shopping as much as you want! Okay?"

Asia put her hand on her mouth and once again starts to shed tears. Though, it didn't seem sad this time.

"…Issei-san, I have no common sense," she says.

"We could learn by going around the city! If you go around looking at different things, you will learn eventually." Issei replies.

"…I can't speak Japanese. I also don't know about its culture."

"I will teach you. Leave it to me. We could even to go to a museum to look at Japanese national treasures."

"I also don't know what to talk about with a friend." She says and Issei held her hand tightly.

"You talked to me normally for a whole day. That was fine. We were already talking like friends."

"…Will you become my friend?" She asks and Issei nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, so let's get along from now on, Asia." He says and Asia nods with a smile.

Clap~Clap~

"Nicely put, Issei." Yoichi said cutting in causing Issei and Asia to turn towards him. He had a small smile on his face. "Just like Issei said Asia, we don't care about the details. You can count us as friends, just don't expect me to give out speeches like Issei just did." He said causing Issei to look a little embarrassed but then they all gave a small laugh.

"It's impossible." A voice suddenly cut in causing all three of them to look at where it came from and there they saw a slender girl with silky black hair, clad in an S&M uniform. She also had black wings sprouting out of her back.

"Y-Yuuma-chan?" Issei managed to squeeze out. She laughs, obviously amused by the fear in his voice.

"Heh. You survived, and as a devil? Seriously, that is the worst." She says

"Raynare/Raynare-sama!" Yoichi and Asia said at the same time.

'Right, I totally forgot. Yuuma's a fallen angel, and her real name is Raynare.' Issei reminded himself in his head.

When Raynare took a look at Yoichi, her eyes widened a bit. "Dohnaseek said he killed you but it looks like you were turned into a devil as well. Whatever."

"So what does a fallen angel like you want?" Issei asks and she sneers at him.

"Shut up. I don't want a filthy low-class devil like you talking to me." She says with disgust. "That girl, Asia is our personal belonging. Can I have her back? Asia, you know it's useless to run away."

"No. I don't want to return to that church. I don't want to return to a place where people kill other people and I hated the things you did to me." Asia answers with disgust.

"Please don't say that, Asia. Your sacred gear is essential for our plan. So, please come back with me. I even took the time to look for you. Don't cause trouble for me." She says as she approaches them.

Asia hides behind Issei and he steps forward to protect her.

"Wait, can't you see she doesn't want to? Raynare-san, what are you going to do with her after taking her back?" Issei asks and she scowls.

"Low-class devil, don't call me by my name. It will get filthy. What's between us doesn't have anything to do with you. If you don't return to you master you will di–" before she could finish her sentence, a fist smashed into her face.

BAM!

The force of the hit caused Raynare to stagger back a few steps putting a hand on her face in pain.

"Blah, blah, blah you all talk too much." Yoichi said as he put his hands in his pockets and started walking up to Raynare. "I heard from Rias that Issei was killed by a fallen angel as well so I'm gonna assume it's you. Well, whatever. Why don't you just point me to Dohnaseek's direction. I owe him some payback."

"YOU SHITTY LOW-CLASS DEVIL!" Raynare shouted as she summoned a light spear.

"Hey, that's the same power Dohnaseek ha–" before Yoichi could finish that sentence he felt a sudden pain in his shoulder. When he looked he saw that Raynare had thrown the spear of light at him.

"Oh…shit…that's bad." He said as he fell to his knees and grabbed his shoulder. The light spear then disappeared but the wound was still there.

"Yoichi/Yoichi-san!" Issei and Asia both shouted.

"S-sacred gear!" Issei shouted and the red gauntlet appeared on his hand. Raynare had a shocked expression for a second but then burst out laughing.

"I was told your sacred gear was a dangerous one by the higher-ups but it looks like they were totally wrong!" She said as she started laughing again. "Your sacred gear is one of the common ones. It's called [Twice Critical]. It doubles the possessor's power for a temporary time but having you double your power is no threat to me. Truly a fitting object for a low class devil li– "

Raynare was once again interrupted by…

BAM!

Yoichi had gotten up and punched her in the face again.

"YOU BASTARD, YOU PUNCHED ME IN THE–"

BAM!

"GAH! YOU DID IT AGAI–"

BAM!

"GAH! STOP IT! STOP I–"

BAM!

"GAH! FUCK! Oh, what would Azzazel-sama tell me to do in this situation?" She asked herself. She then had a flashback of Azzazel saying something

"-Raynare, if you ever find yourself being punched repeatedly in the face, always remember to–"

BAM!

That thought was cut off by another punch to her face

"GAH! OW! HE CUT OFF AZZAZEL-SAMA!"

"So, are you gonna dodge any of these?" Yoichi asked once again clutching his shoulder still in pain.

"Ooohhh, that's what Azzazel-sam–"

BAM!

"GAH! I THINK HE BROKE SOMETHING THAT TIME!" Raynare shouted. She then proceeded to kick Yoichi in the stomach causing him to fall back a few steps. Before he could react, Raynare then stabbed a light spear right into his stomach.

"Oh no, that…was my…favourite…hoodie." Yoichi managed to squeeze out before falling to the ground and passing out.

"Yoichi!" Issei yelled out as Asia went to go heal him. "Sacred gear! Activate! You can double my power right? Then Activate!" Issei yells and the jewel on the gauntlet starts glowing.

[Boost!]

A sound is made and he felt power surge through his body.

"Yes! I can feel the po–"

Stab!

Issei was then stabbed in the stomach by a light spear Raynare threw at him and fell to the ground.

"Even if your power is doubled, you can't even evade this small spear I made. Even if you power of 1 is doubled, its only 2. You can't narrow the gap between us. Do you understand now low-class devil?" Raynare mocked, despite having a bleeding nose from Yoichi's punch.

Issei felt pain. He remembered Rias's words the first day he was turned into a devil. "Light is poisonous for devils." But then the pain suddenly started disappearing. He looked up and saw Asia. She was done healing Yoichi and immediately went to healing him. The spear gradually gets smaller and disappeared just like the one that stabbed Yoichi.

"Asia, if you don't want these devils to be killed, come with me. Your sacred gear is essential for our plan. Your power, the [Twilight Healing] is a rare sacred gear unlike the one that devil possesses. If you don't come with me, I'll have to kill him." Raynare threatened with narrowed eyes.

"S-shut up! I can defeat you–" Before Issei could finish Asia answered

"Yes, I understand." Asia says with her head lowered.

"Asia!"

"Issei-san. Thank you for today. It was really fun. Please tell Yoichi-san that too." She says with a big smile. When she confirmed Issei's stomach was completely healed, she walked up to Raynare.

"Good girl, Asia. That's it. Problem solved. With today's ritual, you will be freed from your suffering." Raynare puts on a sinister smile.

"Asia! Wait! We're friends, aren't we?" He yelled but Asia kept walking as she says

"Yes. Thank you for being friends with someone like me." She then turns around and continued, "Goodbye," she says sadly.

Raynare then covers Asia with her wings.

"Low-class devil, looks like you were saved because of this girl. If you get in my way again, I will kill you. Goodbye, Issei." She sneers at him before flying off disappearing into the sky.

'I failed." Issei thought to himself sadly. 'I'll protect her, what a laugh.' He got on his knees and started punching the ground.

"Asia…" He cried out. "ASIAAAAAAAA!"

"Jeez, quiet down." Issei was cut off from his cry by a voice. He looked up and saw Yoichi standing up and dusting dirt off his clothes. His eyes widened.

"Yoichi! I thought you were passed out." Issei said.

"No, I just made it look like I did so she wouldn't continue attacking and end up killing me." Yoichi said casually. "After Asia healed me I was fine but decided to stay down."

"WHY?" Issei asked angrily. "You could have done something! You could have stopped her!" He yelled but Yoichi remained calm.

"I doubt I could have done anything. She has that spear of light thing, I wouldn't have stood a chance. I really need some kind of power or something." Yoichi said rubbing his head. "I'll think about that later. C'mon lets go." He said walking off.

"Where are we going?" Issei asked confused.

"Where do you think? We're gonna go save Asia, but first we'll go ask for help from Rias." Yoichi said with a smile causing Issei's eyes to widened but then smiled with determination.

"Yeah! Let's go!" He said.

Chapter End.

Whew, I'm probably just being whiny, but my fingers hurt. Anyway yea, I think I'll be able to end this arc in the next chapter which I will also reveal Yoichi's special trait as in the power he'll have. Little warning, the next chapter might take a while to come out. Two weeks from now I have exams, and I need to use this time to study so yeah. Anyway, let me know what you thought of this chapter. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I'll try and answer them to the best of my abilities.

I'm gonna go now. See ya.
