Hello guys, it's me again)) I am really sorry for the wait, but when I was about to post new chapter today, my Internet went down. Freaking tree fell on the wires, so I was unable to post it in time. But because of this, I did this chapter bigger, not very much but I tried. So, guys, enjoy, chapter 6 of this story. Feel free to criticize me)))

9 years later...

"So you are here for revenge?" fallen angel asked him.

"Revenge? Revenge is an act of passion, vengeance is one of justice. Injuries are revenged, crimes are avenged. I am here to bring justice upon you for all your crimes in the name of Heaven." answered white-hooded figure. "Today you will answer for your transgressions."

3 days ago

"Wake up, Issei." gentle voice said "Your mission starts today."

"Uuuu...five more minutes, Gabriel, I'm tired." brown-haired boy answered.

"I will not give you even one, Issei." Gabriel said sternly. "It is your problem that you train every night with Longinus when you should just sleep."

"Fine, Gabriel, I am not sleeping anymore, are you happy?" Issei said.

"Pretty much. Now dress up, I will wait you in the training room." Gabriel spoke, smiling warmly.

"Okay, I will be there in no time." Issei answered, after that Gabriel left his room. "Oooh, I am so tired, it is all your fault, old man."

"Why are you blaming me? I didn't make you train for over one year, you do it on your own accord, brat." Longinus said, his voice calm and sober.

"I am blaming you because after all this years of training with you it became a habit." Issei complained.

"So what? Like she said, it is your problem, not mine or hers, he he." old man said laughing.

"Screw you, old geezer, you never support me."

"It is more fun like this."

"Of course, it is." Issei said and closed connection with the Saint. "Stupid spirit."

Issei stood up from his bed and went to his drawer, he took his white robe, wore it and left the room. Five minutes later, Issei was in the training room already, where Gabriel were waiting him.

"Issei, today you will go back home." Gabriel said to Issei, who walked in.

"This is my home, Gabriel." Issei answered.

"Yeah, of course it is your home, Issei." she said smiling warmly. "That is not what I meant. You will go to Kuoh town for your next mission. You were born there, so it is your home too, right?" she said.

"It stopped to be my home almost for ten years already, now my home is where you are, Gabriel." Issei said, determination in his voice.

"Okay, my Issei, I am happy to hear such words." Gabriel said looking at him with endless love and care. 'He is such smooth talker, I wonder if he knows it.' she thought. "Well, about your mission. There are some paranormal activity in Kuoh town. Our sources gave us information about fallen angels, who came in town, though their mission is not clear for us at this moment. Kuoh town is under control of devils of Gremory clan now, they are not causing troubles for humans, so you shouldn't fight with them without reason, you can try to communicate with them, maybe help them with some matters. You can try to cooperate with them to get rid of this fallen angels problem. Three Factions are going to make a pact about peace soon, so it will be good to be on good terms with devils and fallen angels. But those ones who came to town are doing things without Azazel's orders, so they can't be considered as potential allies. You should get information about their purpose for coming there and prevent them from doing whatever they planned. These fallen angels were working with Raynare in the past, so you can learn something about that incident which happened nine years ago, but don't lose your head, okay, Issei?" Gabriel explained details of the mission.

"Yes, Gabriel. It does not matter, revenge is not my purpose for living, if they are guilty, I will just bring justice upon everyone of them, no personal feelings attached." Issei said calmly, but inside his blood was pumping through his veins, even though he was not consumed by revenge, his wish to punish those, who were in charge of that event which happened in the past, was very strong.

"Okay, Issei, good to hear that." Gabriel said with gentle smile. "You will go to Kuoh after breakfast, Griselda will transport you to your house where you will stay."

"As you wish, Gabriel."

"Now let's go eat, Issei."

After breakfast Issei and Gabriel went to the big hall where Griselda were waiting for them.

"Good morning, Gabriel-sama, Issei." Griselda said with small bow.

"Good morning, Griselda." Gabriel answered while Issei only nodded without making a sound.

"Oh Lord, when you will speak with me already." Griselda said with displeasure, Issei just shrugged his shoulders, while Gabriel laughed. "It is not funny, Gabriel-sama, for almost ten years he didn't speak to anyone besides you, do you think it is normal?"

"Maybe he only wants to speak with me. You know, I am feeling very special, knowing that he speaks only with me. Maybe you are jealous, Griselda, maybe you want to feel special too?" Gabriel said in teasing tone.

"Hm...why would I want to be special for such spoiled brat like him?" Griselda answered slightly angered.

"Calm down, Griselda, I was joking. And don't call him brat, he is my knight, I don't want anyone to look down on him."

"I am sorry, Gabriel-sama."

"You don't need to apologize to me, it was him who you called that, so apologize to him."

"I am sorry, Issei, I didn't mean it, I was just slightly agitated." Griselda said, Issei just shook his head and smiled to her, showing that he didn't mind. Griselda returned smile.

"Okay, it is time to go, Issei, Griselda. I will teleport you to Kuoh town and you, Griselda, will show Issei his house and tell about school." Gabriel said to them. When she finished speak, Issei approached her, stood on one knee and bowed. Gabriel brushed his hair with her hands, then cupped his face and kissed his forehead. "Be safe, my Issei." Gabriel said with extreme care.

"I will." Issei answered.

Griselda looked at that scene and was fascinated, she never saw Gabriel looking like this. Everyone knew that Gabriel was sweet and kind, but when she looked at that boy, she was somewhat different, like she was in love. Other thing that amazed Griselda is that Issei spoke. Yes, he actually spoke. Not to her, but while she was around. Still it was something she didn't expect. In those nine years she never heard his voice, no one heard it even, only Gabriel at times would say something like 'Issei said' or 'Issei told me' which meant that he could speak. Though Griselda sometimes thought that he was actually mute and Gabriel only pretended that Issei spoke to her. But now she heard him, heard his voice. It was gentle, yet mature, it was not like of some 16 years old kid. If she will tell someone about this event they wouldn't believe her. This day would be considered holiday, 'Issei spoke-day'. Griselda giggled at that thought. While she was thinking about these scene, Issei already stood beside her.

"Okay, now I will teleport you to Kuoh. Until later." Gabriel said.

"Yes, Gabriel. Let's go, Griselda." Issei said with beaming smile.

'Oh my dear Lord, he spoke to me, unbelievable.' Griselda thought and white light enveloped them.

After few moments light faded, Issei and Griselda stood in some alley. Griselda took out piece of paper from pocket and showed it to Issei.

"Do you know where is it?" she asked him. Issei nodded. "Then let's go."

They walked for a couple of minutes when Issei spoke.

"Gabriel said that you will guide me not another way round." he said with small smile.

"You are actually not mute, brat. Did the Hell froze today that you granted me, such lowly being, with you majestic voice?" Griselda said sarcastically.

"Wow, keep your poison to yourself, Griselda. I even forgot for one second why I didn't spoke with you. One minute ago you were so polite before Gabriel and now look at you."

"Ha ha, you are funny, boy, I thought you are boring and brooding brat. And what that 'Gabriel' thing supposed to mean?"

"Well, I have a good teachers. And about that, I call her 'Gabriel' for about nine years already." Issei said with wide smile. "I feel so special, that she allows me to call her that." Issei said with teasing tone.

"Ha ha, very funny. Well, that aside, let's talk about mission. I will be playing role of your guardian since you have no parents, you will be attending Kuoh high school tomorrow morning, you are a second year student, name's Hyoudou Issei, you were born here, but nine years ago went to USA where lived with me till that moment. Now we returned home to stay here. That's our agenda, understood?"

"Of course, guardian-sama." Issei chuckled.

"It was so better when you didn't speak" Griselda sighed.

"Not so long ago you complained to Gabriel that I don't speak with you, yet now you are complaining that I speak. Make your choice and we will stick to it."

"Okay, let's better talk, I am tired of being the only one who speaks."

"As you wish, Griselda." Issei said smiling.

At that moment they came to the needed house and entered it. It was very spacious building with two floors, there were kitchen, big hall and bathroom on the first floor, on the second floor there were a few bedrooms.

"Pick a room, boy, I will take another one. All our luggage will arrive later, so we are free right now." Griselda said to Issei. "What do you want to do?"

"I wanted to walk around the town to see how much it changed in nine years. Do you want to go with me?" Issei asked her.

"No, but thanks for invitation. I will make dinner, so feel free to do anything till evening." Griselda answered and smiled to him. Even if Issei was impossible sometimes, they trained together for nine years, he was her fellow Brave Saint, he was like little brother for her, even if she didn't show that much.

"Okay, I will be back at six, Griselda-nee-san." Issei said. For him Griselda was also like sister, even though they didn't speak before, he was very grateful that she took care of him for all this years, that she helped him to learn how to fight with a sword, thanks to her he was very good at it. That is why he decided to speak with her today, showing that she was also important to him. "And thank you." he said and left the house.

"Nee-san, ha? That was unexpected." Griselda said to the empty house. "And you are welcome, Issei." she added with wide smile.

Issei walked through the streets of Kuoh town looking around. In last nine years his hometown didn't change much, there were some new shops and restaurants, some old ones disappeared. The first place that Issei visited after he left Griselda, was his old house, where he lived with his parents nine years ago. It was still there, but other people lived there. If they knew what happened in that house in the past, they wouldn't be so carefree while living there. In Irina's house lived other people too, there were no links which connected Issei to this town, they were all destroyed at that tragic night nine years ago. But now he returned here, maybe it was time to start something new.

With this thoughts Issei went to the local park. He sat at the wooden bench in the tree shadow, it was sundown, so it was hard to see him clearly. At that moment couple came close to the fountain, they were holding hands and talking. 'On the date' Issei thought. 'Will I ever have a girlfriend? Will I go to the dates too? I think not, it is not angel's lifestyle' This kind of thoughts invaded his mind. At that moment girl, who walked hand in hand with a boy turned in to woman, black wings on her back. 'Fallen angel.' After that light spear appeared in her hand. Issei suddenly stood up from the bench and dashed to them. But when he was about reach them, light spear left fallen angel's hand and flew towards the boy. Issei couldn't be there in time, so he summoned golden broadsword and cut off one of fallen angel's wings. Spear of light pierced boy's abdomen, miserable shriek left his mouth, fallen angel was in pain too.

"Who the fuck are you?" she cried out.

"Someone who doesn't like someone of your kind." Issei said with disgust. "What are you doing in this town? Why do you want to kill him?"

"Like I will tell you, shithead." fallen angel answered.

"Such a filthy mouse you have, but you better talk, or your death will be more painful that way."

"Fuck you, bastard!"

"Wrong answer." Issei said and in the next moment disappeared from the field of fallen angel's vision. When he reappeared, he was behind her, broadsword high in the air. Miserable shriek were heard, and second black wing fell on the ground. When Issei were going to ask her again, another fallen appeared, took the first one and they disappeared in the black light.

"God damn!" Issei cursed and sharp pain pierced his head. "Ahhhh, always forget about it."

In the next moment Issei approached boy's body which lied on the ground in the pool of blood. The same scene was before him nine years ago, events of the past appeared in his mind again. Issei kneeled before body and checked boy's vital signs. He was still alive but on the verge of death. But while he checked him, picture of red dragon appeared in his mind. 'Sacred Gear.' Issei thought 'Is it Boosted Gear?' When this thought appeared in his mind he wanted to revive this guy as angel, but he hadn't have cards. At that moment red sign flashed in boy's hand and on the ground red teleportation circle appeared. 'Gremory clan's pattern.' Issei thought. "So they were looking after him, to get his Sacred Gear. Very wise." Issei said aloud. "It is time to leave." he spoke when figures emerged from the circle and flew away on his eight wings, some feathers fell from them.

Girl with bloody red hair appeared from the circle and saw figure with eight white wings, who were flying away. 'Angel?' she thought. 'Well, it is not the time to think about it, I need to save this guy.' She took out pawn piece from her pocket and put it on the boy's chest. "Live for me, Goro."

Issei didn't see what happened after he left, but he could imagine. Now he stood before his house. Issei pushed the door and entered.

"You said you will be back at six, it is almost seven now." Griselda said calmly.

"Some things happened. I met with fallen angels sooner than I thought I will." Issei spoke, his voice full of displeasure.

"What happened, Issei?" Griselda asked worryingly.

"When I was in the park, fallen angel attacked some boy, I couldn't stop her in time, so she pierced him with light spear. I chopped off her wings and asked for what purpose they came to Kuoh, but she didn't answer, than another one appeared and they left in magic circle. I checked the boy, he was still alive, I felt Sacred Gear inside him, I saw red dragon. I think it is Boosted Gear. Than red light appeared, it was Gremory's circle, they were tailing the boy to resurrect him as devil. I didn't want to meet with them yet, besides I couldn't save that poor guy, so I left. I think he is devil already, if he is alive of course." Issei told everything that happened.

"Wow, you are fast, it was only six hours and you already saw fallen angels and devils from Kuoh, ha ha." Griselda said laughing. "I will report about it to Gabriel-sama. Now go eat, then go to bathroom and after that go to sleep, I will wake you up very early tomorrow, Issei."

"Okay, Griselda-nee-san. Thank you for dinner."

"You are welcome, Issei. Okay, I will go to Heaven now, I don't know when I will return, so don't wait for me and go sleep, understood?" Griselda said sternly.

"Fine. You were sounding like Gabriel right now." Issei said with small chuckle. "Until the morning then, Griselda-nee-san."

"Good night, Issei." Griselda said with warm smile and disappeared in the flash of white light.

After that Issei ate his dinner, took bath and went to his room.

"I think I will skip today's night training, or I will be like a vegetable tomorrow at school." Issei said and went to bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a heartbeat.

So, that's it, guys. I hope you like it so far and I hope that you are not very angry for long waiting. I was disappointed too, that I didn't post it on time(( I will post next chapter tomorrow if something extreme will not happen, like meteor hitting my house or some other shit))) See ya)
