School ended and Issei was glad because now he could finally take Rias out. He ran to the entrance of the school where she had told him to meet her during the day of school. Issei was extremely excited and spared no time as he rushed to the schools entrance.

When he got their however, Rias wasn't there. He decided that she was just running a little late and decided to sit by the oak tree near the entrance underneath the shade. It was quite a hot day that day and Issei is not really used to warm outdoor weather. Issei rested his head back on the tree and closed his eyes. As his thoughts wandered off he didn't realise that Rias had arrived to the entrance.

She saw him with his eyes closed and decided to approach him silently as to surprise him. When she got close Rias decided to jump onto Issei and pin him to the floor. Issei was shocked and surprised by this as Rias started down at his face.

"Hello there" Rias said with a coy smile and Issei responded by flipping her around with superior physical strength and was now looking down at her.

"Yes hello." Issei's face hovered over Rias's very closely so close that their lips were so close from touching. Her face was red as she felt the warmth resonating from Issei's body and his lips being so close to hers. Suddenly he realised what he was doing and backed away whilst clearing his throat. His face was also red as he wiped away the cut grass from his uniform.

Rias looked up at him and then held out her hands gesturing for him to help her up. He smiled and then pulled her up, she stumbled slightly but Issei steadied her which she giggled lightly at.

"Should we go then?" Rias asks and Issei nods then holds out his hand. She takes in her own and begins to pull Issei in the direction she wants to take him. He follows her wondering where she plans to take him.

"So then where are we going Rias?" He asks and she turns to look at him, Issei could see that she had a mischievous grim which made him feel slightly unnerved. "You'll see."

A Couple hours later…

Issei couldn't have imagined what Rias had in store. First they began by going to get something to eat in Rias's favourite place, a sushi restaurant not 2 miles away from the school. They enjoyed a delightful meal whilst sharing stories of what they had done before they had reunited. Rias talked a lot about her household and what they are like and such. She seemed to hold all of them in such high praise, clearly she loved them all like family.

After dinner they went to the market centre, full of people trying to sell as many wares as they could. It was very busy that day, both Issei and Rias stayed close together as to not lose each other. They visited all types of of stalls but one had caught Issei's eye a lot, a flower stall. He thought that Rias would love it if had got her a red rose. No doubt about it she did because when he presented it to her She quickly hugged him and looked at it with a small smile. A red rose was her rarely flower after all.

Now they were walking back towards the school as Rias lives in the Occult Research Club with her household. She still held the rose close to her chest whilst holding Issei's hand. They occasionally share glances of admiration which made both of them blush. Rias then however gave him a confused look which Issei took with a concerned expression.

"Issei, what is your plan whilst you stay in Kuoh? I mean you must be here for a reason." She asked him and Issei was glad that it wasn't as bad as he thought. If Issei was going to be honest with himself, the only reason he is there is all his father's doing meaning he was still being trained even after all these years.

"Well I'm going to build my household up, hopefully I'll find good and decent people to join. Then I will train them and myself until I reach the pinnacle of my ability and then I will be able to take over my family as head of house Hyoudou." Rias saw much reason in this, she was doing the same thing really only she was further along but could tell that Issei could catch up effortlessly.

"Oh that sounds interesting, and what do you plan to do once you are the head of your house?" Rias wondered also about what she was going to do if she ever became head of house Gremory. Issei let out a sigh and looked Into the sky.

"I don't know really. Rule, command, help and maybe one day marry and have children." Those last words spoke seemed to echoe around and Issei realised what he had just said. He made the moment really awkward, however Rias didn't seem embarrassed at all, in fact she smiled and held onto Issei's hand tighter.

"Well there's a long way off till then so for now I'll concentrate on getting stronger." Issei stated and Rias nodded in agreement as they made it back to the schools front gate.

"Thank you again for the rose Issei it was really nice of you." He smiled and scratched the back of his head in response. Rias quickly gave Issei a tight hug which took him by surprise. She stayed there for a long time just indulging in Issei's strong arms and then she backed up and looked at him.

"I'll see you tomorrow then Issei!" He bowed strongly and then took her hand and kissed it again like he did in the Occult Research Club. Rias then walked back into the school grounds with a shirt skip to her walk. Issei chuckled quietly at that and then decided it was time for him to go home as well.

He followed the same path he normally did to make his way home, at this point he could walk streets with ease in the town. Issei had to walk past the town centre to get to his house and when he got there he was lost in deep thought. He barely noticed anything going on around him, as he thought about Rias and his mother, all these people coming into his life And what it truly meant to him. It meant the world to him that he could have people he cherished in his life.

Suddenly out if nowhere Issei bumped into somebody and it knocked them down to the ground. He couldn't tell who it was he knocked but instantly he was looking at them and offering his help.

"I am so sorry, I should've been watching where I was going. Here let me help you up." Issei was clearly very sorry as he picked up this young body dressed in black and white robes. When the person stood Issei could clearly see what they looked like.

A young blonde girl with sapphire eyes still in her teens. She wore a nun's robe and a holy cross around her neck which made Issei squint at but only slightly. Her eyes were wide and innocent and she seemed very shy and nervous. Issei towered over her petite body and he felt like he was a bit brooding.

"No it's fine, it's my fault I wasn't paying attention either." She smiled at Issei which he then responded the same way. However her smile quickly turned to a worried gaze which Issei responded by placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Is something wrong?" Issei asked her.

"Yes I'm afraid that I'm a bit lost. You see I'm a nun and I have been transferred to the local church in this town but because it's my first time here, I have no clue where I'm going. If it's no trouble would you be willing to help me?" She gave him a nervous smile as her body shriveled slightly. Clearly she doesn't ask many favours else right now she wouldn't be so scared of the outcome.

"Sure, I don't see why not. Come on let's go." Issei gestured her to follow him and she did quickly. He had to admit that this girl was stunningly beautiful and if Rias didn't exist and she wasn't a nun then he might've asked her out at that point.

"I'm Asia by the way… Asia Argento." She said walking side by side with Issei.

"Hello Asia, my name is Issei Hyoudou. It's nice to meet you." Asia smiled at him thinking he is so polite and nice. Issei was trying to remember the way to the church, he had been told by his father to try and avoid the church altogether as going near or inside one could lead to many diplomatic issues and perhaps many fights. Issei took this into consideration and decided to wait till the church is in view and then leave her there.

"So your a nun then?" Issei asked curious as ever. Asia looked at him and enjoyed theme fact she could converse with a local.

"Yes! I have always been a nun really and have trained my entire life to devote myself to god." Asia said with pride in her voice that she could serve god. Issei however squinted at the name but not enough so that Asia could notice.

Both of them hear a cry and then go to investigate. A small boy not even 6 was sitting on the ground sobbing because his knee was scraped. Normally Issei would try and avoid something like this but Asia was different, she couldn't stand idly by as a young lad was in pain. She approached the boy who was in pain and curious to why Asia has crouched down by him.

"Come on now your a big boy, but that does look like it hurts." Asia hovered her hands over his wound and then suddenly a bright green glow emitted from her palms. The boy was astounded as his pain slowly disappeared and his scratch suddenly vanished. He stood up and bowed before thanking her and running away to his day to day life.

Issei too like the boy was astounded by Asia's power. He remembered his father mentioned some sacred gear with a power like that before but he couldn't remember what it was. Issei's boosted gear reacted however when she used it as he felt a sharp pain in the hand where the boosted gear lay. He didn't know why but it was definitely curious.

"That was incredible! How did you do that?" Asia looked at him and shyly turned her head to the ground.

"It's my gift? The gift to heal any wound." The word 'gift' to Asia however didn't mean the same thing to Issei.

"That is an amazing gift then Asia!" Issei looked at her with some amount of admiration and thought of how useful she would be as a devil and not a human nun.

"Yeah… amazing." Asia's mood quickly changed as she stood from her crouched position and continued to walk with Issei. He noticed her sudden silence and sadness and wondered what she had to be so upset about. The spent the rest of the walk in sullen silence.

When the church was in view Asia suddenly perked up and faced Issei. He was looking at the church trying hard not seem like he hated it to Asia.

"Thank you Issei! I really appreciate this. Will you take me the rest if the way?" Issei knew that he couldn't but he didn't want to be rude to this girl who he truly enjoyed the company of.

"I am sorry but I really must be getting home, my mother will be worried about me." Asia seems slightly upset about this but she quickly brightened up and then snapped her view to Issei.

"How about you come by then at some point and we can hang out?" Issei again knew he couldn't go to the church and decided that lying to her would be better than telling her the truth of him being a devil.

"Sure I'll see if i can drop by every so often." Asia jumped in joy and thanked Issei before running off to the church in excitement, not only has she found her way to the church but had also made a new friend in the process.

Issei felt bad that he would never be able to keep his word and found that this girl was a lot more interesting than meets the eye. Perhaps one day they may meet again by chance or on purpose.

Now he really did need to get home else his mother will get mad if he doesn't make it back in time for dinner. And so Issei decided to take a light jog back to his house which brought him to it quicker than walking would.

He took a deep sigh before opening the door and walking inside. It had grown dark by the time he got home and he was almost certain he would get yelled at for being so late. However when he got inside all he could hear is his mother laughing loudly with what sounded like a man's voice. Issei moved to investigate and saw a scene which caused him to stand still. His mother and father were sitting on the sofa sharing a close embrace as they stared lovingly into each other's eyes. He did not want to disturb this moment they shared so he simply backed away slightly and waited about 5 minutes before announcing himself.

"Mother I'm home!" Issei said as he walked into the livingroom now. Both his mother and father separated and cleared their throats hoping their son hadn't seen them.

"Hello son." Solace said to Issei which he nods at in response. Jane stood up and moved up to Issei with what seemed like an annoyed face.

"You young man, where have you been? You should've been back an hour ago." Jane's tone suggested that she was worried about him and Issei felt bad that he was late.

"Well I went out with Rias after school today and then I met a young nun who was lost. So I helped her reach her destination." Jane gave Issei a warming hug and then kissed him on his cheek.

"Well then that's ok isn't it. As long as your the heroe helping the damsel then that will be fine." Solace joined them standing and he look at his son with curious eyes. Issei felt a little uneasy about that look he gave him but he didn't feel threatened.

"Son I must speak with you, it is urgent." When he said this Jane took her leave to the kitchen to heat up the meal she had cooked earlier that day. Solace placed his hand on Issei's back and began walking through the door to the beginning of the staircase.

"Now son I know you have just arrived here but you must make haste on using your evil pieces because your ranking in the Devil society depends on it. I have a file which contains people who I think have enough potential and skill to be good allies." Solace pulled out the thick folder and handed it over to Issei. He took it and it felt rather hefty for paper which meant there was a lot inside.

"Thank you father, but I must say this. It is not just about being strong and resilient but is also about personality and building a family which i can trust with my life and livelihood." Solace laughed and looked at Issei with proud eyes.

"Well done son. Truly you are amazing, your human half has strengthened your mind to what human nature is like and how they act. Also before I forget you must still carry out contracts to also increase your rank in society, I have one and it require you to go tonight." Solace handed over a piece of paper with an address written on it.

"Ok father, I will do that don't worry." Suddenly Solace got a call from the underworld and needed to leave. He nodded his son and faced the direction of where Jane was and then disappeared via teleportation.Jane came back in and was shocked to find that Solace was gone and only Issei remained.

"Where's your father run off too?" Jane was hoping that he had just gone upstairs and would return soon. Issei however told her that he left on business and that seemed to upset her.

"Oh, OK. Look he left his scarf." Jane picked up the scarf he had worn when he came to her. She brought it close to her nose and sniffed it lightly before wrapping it gently around her arm. Issei could sense the attraction between his father and Jane, something he never sensed with the mother that raised him.

"Well Mother I've gotta attend to some business tonight and I may be home late just so you know." Jane gave him an exasperated look, she knew that the life he lead was dangerous but she had hoped that he would try and avoid it if possible.

"Ok then, but please be safe." Issei gave her a comforting smile and then a hug. She felt a little reassured by this and then returned to making food.

Later that night…

Issei followed the address his father gave him and made it to a small house on the other side if town. He walked up to the front door and Knocked on it.

"Hello! Is anyone In! You called for the name Hyoudou for help?" He shouted and waited for an answer. As he stood he couldn't shake this feeling of being watched like something was stalking him. When no answer came Issei checked to see if the door was open and it was.

"I'm coming in. I'm not an intruder I'm the help!" it was dark and hard to see, even for a devil as Issei walked through to the main room in the house. Sudden he caught a ghastly smell which made him cover his nose and then the sight he witnessed was horrifying. A pile of dead on top of each other. Blood was everywhere and Issei was quick to put his guard up.

He then caught a sinister and violent aura which made him recoil to the other side of the room. A man then walked out from the shadows and looked at him whilst licking his lower lip. He was tall, blonde and had the cold eyes of a killer. Issei could sense the blood lust inside of him as he stated at Issei.

"Why did you kill these people, they were innocent?" Issei said with a bitter and angry tone of voice. The man looked at him and smiled sadistically.

"Were they really, I think not devil. Anyone who turns to your kind for help are sinners and should be punished as sinners. Plus I really had the itch to cause others pain which is why I took my time." The man seemed very sincere which made Issei feel uneasy. His words however confirmed something that Issei had been feeling, he was a definitely an exorcist of the church.

"Well Priest looks like you achieved your goal. Now fucking leave!" Issei stared at him but the priest was having none of it.

"I Freed Sellzen will not be told what to do by a filthy devil scum like you. Besides, it's been a while since I've killed a devil and I might as well kill you." Freed pulled out a gun so fast that even Issei didn't notice it and instantly he shot Issei in the left leg. He dropped on one knee and began squinting at the pain. He's had worse but the situation made his injury a lot more deadly.

"Golden bullets! Sting like a bitch don't they? And now to stab you in the heart!" Freed pulled out a hilt of a blade and then suddenly a surge of light came from it and formed a blade made from light. Issei decided that the boosted gear was needed and decided to summon it.

Before he could however a high pitched scream enveloped the room and both Issei and Freed looked over and there stood Asia. She looked at the carnage that Freed made and fear was the only thing she felt. Issei was confused on what she was doing here but quickly deduced that she must've been working for Freed as he walked up to her and pulled her gaze towards his.

"Did you put that barrier up?" Asia nodded in response to scared to even talk. When she turned her head however and saw Issei kneeling their with a bullet wound she was shocked at the sight.

"Issei? Is that you?" He simply turned his head away denying a response but the Freed spoke up.

"You know this devil? Ahh well guess it doesn't matter I'm gonna kill him anyways like I did these." Asia gasped and covered her mouth. She looked at Freed who only seemed to be basking in pleasure from the carnage.

"You killed these people? Wha… why?" Freed was now confused but then quickly understood the situation.

"That's right your new aren't you. Well Asia, this is what we do. We kill devils and those who worship devils, all in the name of the fallen angels." Asia didn't want to believe that this is what was needed, and to be a part of it was much worse for her.

"That's just horrible!" she shouted but Freed quickly slapped her across the face and seemed to like it. He turned to face Asia now who had her hand on the redning cheek.

"Listen here, the boss said not to hurt you but I don't give a shit, as long as you're still alive It won't matter whether or not your injured. So shut the fuck up and let me kill this devil so we can get on our way." Freed now began walking towards Issei who struggled to get balance. The light sword was lifted up by Freed and he was ready to bring it down on Issei but was stopped suddenly.

"Leave him alone!" Asia pulled back Freed causing him to stagger backwards. It was then that Asia realised that she had made a huge mistake. Freed then turned to her and then punched Asia in the stomach causing her to fall on her hands and knees. Freed proceeded to kick her whilst she was down, every thud echoed the room causing Issei to grow angry.

"Get off of her now you bastards!" Issei stood, the pain sharp but he endured it. His walking was slow and Freed only laughed at him still kicking Asia. Then when Issei got closer Freed simply pulled out his gun and shot Issei in his other leg. He fell screaming in pain and shame from being beaten by this vulgar man.

"Priest, know your boundaries! You touch my son again and I will obliterate you!" Issei turned to see his father standing behind him with an expression of Fury.

"Father! Quickly help that girl, she saved me!" Issei begged his father but he paid no mind and simply grabbed Issei's shoulder.

"No Son, she can't travel in this portal besides she is an exorcist! Now we're going!" Solace then began to cast the portal and Issei only looked at Asia with an expression of desperation. Asia was reaching out for Issei as Freed continued to kick her.

"I'm sorry Asia! I can't…" And then Issei disappeared with Solace leaving Asia to a brutal beating by a cruel man.

They then appeared in Issei's home he was still in much pain from the bullets. Solace placed him on the couch and began to use healing magic on him. Issei was in pain as his father did this but stayed quiet as to wake his mother up because she would be worried about him. He thought of Asia and how much pain she must be going through right now because of him. If he hadn't met her and got to know her slightly then she wouldn't be getting brutalized now. Solace finished up the healing and wrapped his wounds with a bandage.

"I'm sorry son, I didn't know that was going to happen. If I did then I wouldn't have sent you their." Issei simply stood and limped his way upstairs. Solace knew he was upset about the girl and decided to leave his son be for the time.

Issei want to bed thinking about what was happening to pretty blonde girl he had grown to care about.
