Chapter 4

"CRASH!"

The heavy wooden doors of the church flew inwards, rashing into the wall on the opposite side of the room.

"What the hell!" Yuuma turned towards the entrance of church as she tried to discover who was responsible for the intrusion. She would immediately regret that decision. Her eyes filled with fear as she looked on at the hulking red figure with the piercing green eyes. "No! It can't be! How the hell did you find me?!"

"A little birdy told me." Issei jokes.

Cut to the street where Issei and Dohnaseek had fought, to find the male Fallen Angel bound by a bent, metal lamp post wrapped around his body.

"Now, Yuuma. I have some questions that your gonna answer." Issei's sarcastic tone turned into a rather threatening one.

"My name is Raynare, not Yuuma!" Raynare said as she surveyed the area, looking for anything that could help her escape. Finding nothing, she cautiously backed away from Issei, hoping to create some distance. "And I don't have to tell you shit!"

"Raynare, don't make me get violent. I don't wanna have to fight you, but if I do it won't be pretty." Issei said as he slowly approached the girl, his aura blazing at this point.

A small grin formed on the Fallen angels lips, before whispering. "We'll see about that." She turned to a certain section of pews and screamed. "Freed! NOW!"

With that a man with shoulder length dirty blonde hair, dressed in clerical clothing and a crooked smile plastered on his face jumped out from under a pew. "With pleasure." Freed pulled a gun from his cloak and pointed it directly at the side of Issei's head.

"BANG!"

A bullet of light fired from the barrel of his pistol and struck the side of Issei's helmet. Issei turned to Freed. "Ow! Really? What was that even supposed to do? It was really annoying!"

Freed look rather shocked by how little his shot actually did, and nervously chuckled a bit. "Well it was supposed to….."

[BOOST!]

Power surged through Issei's body as he began to approach Freed, when he suddenly stopped. He was frozen almost like a statue, until his body began to glow red. In huge flash of red light, Issei's armor disappeared. Leaving just a high school boy.

"What the hell Ddraig!" Issei screamed at his gauntlet. "What happened to the Balance Breaker?!"

[You IDIOT!] Ddraig fires back. [I warned you we were still low on power from when you used balance breaker twice in one day, but you didn't listen to me. You didn't even need to boost to fight these losers, but you had to show off and now you're screwed!]

"You shoulda been like. Hey Issei. Don't boost, even once. Or else you'll run out of power. I thought I had like 5 minutes left." Issei argued in his defense.

[You did. But then you used 3 to wrap that Fallen Angel guy with a lamp post! Then you used the rest of it RIGHT NOW!] Ddraig rebuttal. [You're on your own now. You cannot rely on Balance Breaker for this fight. Your regular boosted gear should be enough to handle these two, but you need to proceed with caution.]

"I understand." Issei refocused himself as he surveyed his surroundings, evaluating his situation. "I Can take these guys no problem. There is no way I'm dying here"

"BANG!" "BANG!"

"We'll see about that." Freed smirked after firing two light bullets into Issei. Once in the shoulder and once in the knee, bring him down and shutting him up"Hahahahaha!" Freed's crackle broke out into a full blown maniacal laugh as he regrouped with the Fallen Angel. "Well done, Boss Lady. So much for the Red Dragon Idiot." Freed, re-directed his attention to Issei as he aimed his gun. "You probably shouldn't be the one to kill your Boyfriend. Don't worry, I'll do it for you."

Raynare stuck her hand out in front of blonde man as she stepped forward. "No way. I've been looking forward to this ever since that night." The scandalously clad woman, gently placed a finger over her lips. "I already gave him my Kiss of Death. Now it's time to collect."

Another red spear of light formed in the Fallen Angels hand, as she prepared to hurl the weapon directly at Issei's throat. "Poor Issei-kun. So much potential, but nothing to show for it. All bark and no bite." With that, Raynare let the spear fly.

"CLANG!"

Issei backhanded the spear, which was moving almost too fast to see, knocking it away. Issei stood back on both his legs, he also let go of his right shoulder allowing blood to flow freely from a deep gash. His bangs cloaked his eyes from view, making it hard to read any emotion from the boy, until his lips curled into a small grin.

[BOOST!]

"You think you can break my armor and I'm just gonna sit idly by and let you kill me." Issei slowly began to walk forward, as his two opponents stood frozen in a mixture of free and disbelief.

[BOOST!]

"I'm Issei Hyoudou, the Red Dragon Emperor. This fight is only just beginning." Issei lifted up his gauntlet which began to glow a bright red.

[EXPLOSION!]

All the energy Issei had been storing was released at once, surrounding the boy in a radiant red aura."Ready for round two?" Issei taunted as he took a battle stance.

"Hahahahahaha!" Freed bursted out in laughter. "I like you dragon boy. It's gonna be fun ripping you to shreds." Freed ignited a white blade of light from a golden handle he had hidden in his cloak.

Raynare still didn't move, as she still seemed focused on Issei.

"RAYNARE!" Freed shouted, breaking the Fallen Angel out of her trance. "Don't just sit there, it's time to fi…..." Freed was silenced by a giant red gauntlet to the face, knocking him through a wall.

"AAAHHHH" Raynare lets out a battle cry before firing two light spears in Issei's direction.

Issei dodges the spears by vaulting into the air. Issei then uses the downwards momentum to deliver a devastating drop kick to Raynare's head.

"BANG!"

"AAAAHHH!" A bullet of light punctured Issei's back, sending him to the ground. Issei rolled over on his back to find Freed standing over him, about to bring his light sword down on him. Issei flipped up and kicked the blade out of his hand, before landing on a handstand. While on his hands, he delivered a two legged kick, which knocks freed into a shelf.

Freed's light sword eventually comes to a stop right next to a cloth tapestry. The heat of the blade eventually causes the cloth burst into flames, which in turn sets the entire church to ablaze.

"JUST DIE!" Raynare screams as she fires another spear at Issei.

Instead of dodging Issei opted t grab the spear out of the air with his gauntlet. Issei turned the glowing spear around and prepared to through it back at Raynare, but it began to glow a light red before causing another explosion.

The force of the blast sent Issei flying into a plume of flames and he did not emerge

"Ha ha ha." Freed panted. "Ha, so you think we got him."

"No." Raynare's voice was filled with terror, as she remained focused on the flame plume where Issei had landed.

"Hahahaha." Issei quietly laughed, as he slowly emerged from the flames. "She's right you know. I'm just getting started." Issei's legs wobbled, his clothes were tattered and torn, and he was covered in blood (most of it being his own). It was clear that Issei had been through hell, but nevertheless his eyes burned with a passion that could make a man shiver.

"He's crazy." Freed began to twitch as he looked Issei in the eyes. All the joy and confidence had drained from the blonde man and all that was left was fear. "HE'S CRAZY!" Freed turn towards the back exit of the church, leaving Raynare alone.

"Coward! Coward, get back here. ACK ACK ACK!" Raynare began to cough as smoke filled the building.

Issei began to slowly walk towards Raynare when he looked up and noticed something. A flaming wooden beam dangling precariously over the girl, looking like it might fall at any second.

"Oh crap!" Issei lunges forward to Raynare causing her to flinch as the boy wraps his arms around her.

"THUD!"

The sound caused Raynare to look up. When she did saw Issei shielding the girl from the burning wooden beam, which split across the boys back. "Wh-Why? Why would you-ACK ACK ACK!" Raynares coughing didn't die down this time, as more and more smoke filled her lungs.

"We need to get you outta here right now." Issei picked the girl up in a princess carry. Issei surveyed the room, hoping to find an escape route. "Crap! Looks like I'm gonna have to improvise."

Issei lowered his shoulder and charged through a nearby wall, which had weakened by the flames. "AAAHHH!" Issei grasped his bleeding shoulder that he used as a battering ram. His screams died down as he noticed the silence coming from Raynare.

"Hey, Hey." Issei patted the Fallen Angels face in an attempt to wake her up, but there was no response. Issei put his ear up to the girls mouth. "She's not breathing." Issei began pressing his hands down on the girls chest as he performed CPR. "Come on. Come on."

[You need to get air into her lungs, Partner. You can't just press down on her chest.] Ddraig informs the boy.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. It's just-" A small blush forms across the boys face.

[Do you wanna save her or not?] Ddraig said in a even more imposing voice.

"Fine." Issei replied sheepishly.

Issei opened the girls mouth and began to lower his towards hers. He was mere millimeters from Raynares lips, when the girls Eyes shot open.

"What the hell do you think your doing!?" Raynare immediately scoots far away from Issei and covers her mouth with her hand.

"DDRAIG!" Issei screams into his hand.

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!] Laughter erupts from Issei's gauntlet much to the boys dismay. [You Idiot! I can't believe you fell for that! HAHAHAHAHAHA!]

Raynare couldn't believe her eyes as she looked on at the two bickering. "This, is the legendary Welsh Dragon?" Raynare spoke quietly to herself, before exhaustion began to set in and her eyes became heavy.


(Hours Later)

Raynare began to blink her eyes open, when she realized something was strange. She was no longer outside of the burning church, rather she was laying in the wam sheets of a comfortable bed.

"Ugh!"

Raynare looked up to find a shirtless Issei, struggling to tend to a deep gash on his shoulder. Issei seemed to be wincing in pain as he threaded a needle into the gash, in an attempt to close the wound.

"GAH! Ddraig the wound is too deep, and this shitty string keeps breaking." Issei pulls his left hand up to his mouth.

[Quit your screaming, or else you'll wake our guest.] Ddraig warns the boy. [If your really having trouble, you could always go to a hospital.] Ddraigs words cause Issei to shutter.

"Ahem!" Raynare fakes a cough, causing Issei to shift his attention to her. "She's already awake." The Fallen Angel sat up in the bed with a straight face. "Why have you brought me here anyway."

"I told you I had questions for you. Like, why the hell would you just try to kill me the other day, and what are a bunch of Fallen Angels doing in the middle of a Devil's territory?" Issei crossed his arms as he faced the girl.

"Alright, I'll tell you. But first let me help stitch up that shoulder." Raynare pointed towards the dangling string coming from Issei's shoulder.

"OUCH!" Issei screams, as Raynare meticulously works on sowing up the wound. Both of them now sitting together on the bed.

"Hold still!" Raynare says, as he shifts herself to a more comfortable position on the bed as she continued with the stitching. "Man your in bad shape. This wound a side you have another nasty bullet hole on your knee, some pretty bad burns on your chest, and a few cracked ribs."

"Yeah, yeah. Now your gonna tell me why you tried to kill me." Issei sounded pretty impatient at this point.

"Fine." Raynare said as she tugged at a thread in Issei's shoulder. "I came here in order to steal a very powerful sacred gear. I was able to sense your sacred gear and had to kill you to make sure that you couldn't intervene. I had no idea you were the Red Dragon, or else I obviously would've tried a much less straightforward approach."

"Makes sense." Issei nods his head. "My only question is why would you wanna go and steal a sacred gear."

"I messed up pretty bad on a mission. I can't tell you what happened, or what I did. All I can tell you is our leader got pissed and I was expelled from the Grigori." Raynare sounded rather depressed as she reminisced about the past. "I was going to use that sacred gear as peace offering so I could go home, but you ruined that plan and burned down the church I was staying in. Now i have nowhere to stay."

"Yeah that sounds awful." Issei comments

"I have nowhere to sleep, and nothing to eat. I'm gonna have to sleep on the streets." Tears began to build up in her eyes.

"I'll send you off with some cash." Issei deadpanned, not giving in to her tears.

"I don't know what I'm gonna do. Nobody likes Fallen Angel. If the church finds me they'll definitely try to kill me." Raynare began to sob loudly.

Issei brought a hand to his face and shook his head. "FIIIIIIIIIIINE!" Issei relented. "Hey Raynare. Since I have a spare bedroom and kinda burned down your house. Would you like to stay here?"

"REALLY?!" Raynares tears immediately, almost as if they were fake. "Oh, thank yo-"

"SLAM!"

"ISSEI!" Rias immediately comes running into the bedroom after slamming the door. The red haired girl jumps into the bed and wraps her arms around Issei. "I saw blood in the living room, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Just a few cuts and bruises." Issei says trying to push the girl off of him.

"And some broken ribs." Raynare comments as she looks on at the intimate scene, feeling rather like a third wheel.

"Did SHE do this to you." Rias turned to Raynare in accusation, holding Issei even tighter.

"Weeeeeeelllllllllll….." Issei and Raynare said simultaneously.

"Its okay we're cool now." Issei smirked and Raynare nodded in confirmation.

"Hmmm." Rias continues to glare at the dark haired girl. She then turned to Issei and began to unbutton her shirt and began to do the same to Issei's pants

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!" Issei covered his nose his nose as he looked away. Occasionally glimpsing at the devil's chest.

"I need to have uninhibited skin contact between our bodies if I'm going to heal you." Rias began to blush heavily, Issei followed. Rias quickly looked down. "And I'm just going to ignore that."

"Hey Red." Raynare spoke up, now looking slightly upset. "What does rubbing your tits all over Issei, have to do with healing him."

"My aura helps to soothe his body." Rias presses her rather impressive chest down on the boy.

"Awh… This does feel nice." Issei becomes overtaken by bliss.

"As far as I know only devils can do this, so I'll take responsibility of healing the injuries you caused. You can go." She makes a bright smile and waves off the Fallen Angel.

Raynare stood up and made her way towards the door. "Hey wait!" Issei raised his hand to try to get her to stop.

"Issei I'm going to MY room." Raynare smirked at rias who made a jealous face. "See you tomorrow."

Raynare quietly shut the door on the two as she entered Issei's hallway. She made a satisfied smile as she entered her own bedroom, but after she shut her door that smile quickly turned into a frown.

"Stupid Devil."


(Cut to the street. With Dohnaseek)

"Wake up Dumbass." A petite, blonde girl. With her hair tied in twin tails and wearing a gothic dress, kicked sand into the sleeping face of Dohnaseek.

"Millelt!?" Dohnaseek's eyes lit up as he look on at the blonde. "What happened? Where's Raynare? Is she alright?"

"No!" Millelt looked down in disappointment at the dark haired man. "According to Freed, the Red Dragon Emperor killed her, after you provided him with the information he needed to do so." Millelt's mouth curled up into a malicious grin. "Good work."

"What do you mean, why would you congratulate me on the loss of a comrade." Dohnaseek, didn't receive an answer, Millelt charged up a pink Light Spear. "AAAAHHHH!" With that, the lamp post which had previously bound the male Fallen Angel in place, was destroyed.

"Because, Idiot. We still have the girl and we still have the equipment. Which means now we can carry out the plan ourselves, and reap our own rewards." Millelt's words caused the dark haired man to smirk. Millelt madea crooked grin as well, before breaking into a wicked laugh "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"


(Author's Notes)

Okay so I'm kinda changing up the story a bit here. So from now on Millelt will be the bad Fallen Angel, since I killed her off in like 3 lines in my last story. But that means Raynare can be part of the "Harem" I guess. I don't know, but at least I wrote a fight finally. It only took like 4 chapters.

I don't have much to say today. Leave lots of reviews please. C ya.
