Hey everyone!

So, first of all, I'd like to say that I'm sorry it took so long for me to write this chapter down, but I didn't have as much time as I wanted.

But there it is, the first part of Asia's arc is done. I know I haven't let Asia revealed Asia's power yet, but I intend to write it in the next chapter. Finally, I changed Saji's gender, just because I wanted.

Hope you'll like it, and ON WITH THE STORY!

Rias was the first to awake. She felt a little groggy from the fact that she just woke up and ashamed by the dreams she had during her slumber. 'H-how could I go from me as a princess saved by Issei in a shining armor to an SM fantasy? I really need to calm down sometimes…' She thought as she looked up to Issei, who was still resting. 'He seems peaceful like this, it's hard to believe that he is a being even stronger than fallen angels and devils…' she thought before she looked at her alarm clock. 'I still have an hour before I need to wake up. Do I wake Issei now?'

she pondered before she nuzzled in his pecs again. 'Just a little more won't kill me. And it's so nice here…' And she didn't lie. Issei gave her a warmth that made her feel really good and secured, like a cloak that would protect her from everything. 'I even feel like there is a wall between me and everything that's bad for me… protecting me from Riser.' Just the name of this man disgusted her. 'I won't be able to beat him, not alone… But if Issei lent me a hand, I'm sure he would be able to take him all by himself… But I won't force him. I'll ask later and if he refuses, then I'll find another way.' She said to herself before she closed her eyes slowly, drifting into sleep without realizing it.

One hour later.

Rias was awoken again by smooth caress on her back made by big hands and someone calling onto her. She opened her eyes again to see that Issei was the one that was caressing her with a gentle smile.

"Wow, didn't think you would wake up from that…

"I-Issei? W-when did you… W-What time is it?

"Your alarm clock went on earlier, I awake from it, but you were still sleeping, so I decided to wake you up. You're only five minutes late.

"Th-thank you Issei." She said while blushing a little. 'Issei is too comfortable for my own good…'

"No problems. How about you go and take a shower? I'll cook breakfast for us."

Rias nodded before standing up and heading to the bathroom. She took her night robe off and started to wash, taking a bit more time than usual. After all, she didn't need to make her bento (Meal that Japanese student brings to school) nor her breakfast, she had a real cordon bleu to make it. She loved the feeling of hot water pouring down on her. But it wasn't the same kind of warmth as with Issei. She did feel relaxed, but not totally safe, only Issei made her feel that way.

'It's nice to feel that someone is here for me. I really need to find something to thank him, but what…' she then had an idea. "How could I forget about him? He's just the right size!" She focused her mana in her palm to create a magic circle. The circle appeared and rotated onto himself for a while before a woman appeared in it. She wore a French maid outfit, and long black hairs and two horns on her forehead.

"You have called on to me Milady?

"Yes, Shirana. I want you to go and ask Arbatuur to give me dress shoes and socks, dress pants and a white shirt. I need them quickly.

"I am sure he would be happy to give them to you, but why so suddenly?

"It's for one of my friends in the human realm, and only Arbatuur is near his sizes. Send them to my flat in the human realm as soon as possible.

"I will do it at once Milady." The maid said while bowing before the magic circle disappeared. Rias smiled before she put her uniform on and headed toward the kitchen, a towel on her hair. As she was closed to the kitchen, she smelled something really good coming from the table. Issei was sitting, waiting for her.

"Hey!" he said while moving his hand up. "I made us an American style breakfast, with bacon, eggs, and toasts. Hope you'll like it!

"Silly, of course, I'll like it, you made it after all." She said while giggling. He also laughed a little before they both started to eat. Rias happily ate his food, loving the taste of his cooking. The bacon was panned just right, he put just enough salt and pepper on the eggs and the toasts were fried just right. 'Is he the reincarnation of the god of the cooking or what?' she thought while she took another bite at her meal.

"I'll also make lunch for all your peerage and us, so do I have to make special things for some of them?

"Not really, except that you should make some cake for my rook, she really loves sweet.

"Noted. Do we still in time?

"I think we should hurry just a little, I have something for you that will arrive soon." She said while she finished her plate. Issei took the dishes to the sink while saying: "I'll wash them later. I'm also cooking tonight, so you can rest.

"Thank you, Issei," Rias responded before a red magic circle appeared on the couch. From it the clothes Rias ordered before were all there, there was even a black tie with a red jewel on it. The shoes were polished to the point of shining and the shirt was ironed and properly folded. 'That Arbatuur… Always doing more than asked… I'll need to thank him later." Rias thought while smiling. She pointed to the clothes and told this to Issei: "Put these on. You'll look better than with your shorts.

"Wow! Thank you, Rias!" Issei said while giving her a bear hug. She blushed a little before laughing softly "It's okay. But could you please put me down? My feet don't touch the ground anymore…" Issei looked to see that he indeed pulled her to his level, so of course, her feet weren't touching the ground. Issei laughed before slowly dropping her on the grounds, he then took the new clothes and headed to Rias' room. Minutes later, he came back, dressed in the clothes Arbatuur sent before. He rolled the sleeves up to his elbows and also let the first two buttons opened, the black-tie hanged loosely after the second button.

"As I told you, you look cool in these!

"Thank you for the compliment Rias, but may I ask where you found these?

"With a butler of my family that has nearly to same fit as you, a little shorter though.

"Okay, so why did you bothered to ask Kiba to bring me shirts that are too tight for me if you had someone that was my fit?" he asked in a curious tone. Rias blushed a little before saying; "W-well…I kinda…forgot about this person…

"Don't be embarrassed, I was just asking. After all, everyone makes little mistakes. I think we should go now, we lost enough time already." He said while moving toward the exit. Rias nodded and followed him outside, locking the door behind them.

Near Kuoh academy entrance.

Both teens walked calmly toward the academy, talking about random things. As they were approaching the school, Issei seen that there was more and more people wearing the uniform, telling him that they were on the right path. But as the number of student was increasing, so was the number of gossip around them.

"Have you seen this? Are my eyes playing tricks to me?" Asked a girl to her friends. "Is-Is lady Rias walking with a man?" she continued, in a shocked tone.

"It-It seems that it's the truth… But why? Lady Rias never shown any interests in mans before!

"Y-you're right… But he doesn't wear our uniform… Maybe he is a teacher?

"No, he looks too young for that… I know! He must be a bodyguard! I heard that there were more and more sexual harassment cases and kidnapping lately, maybe her family hired him!

"Yeah, it makes sense. And I can understand why they chosen him! Just look at this body! He's like a roman god statue! Tall, handsome and with a ripped body! All I like to see in a man!" she responded while eying Issei with lust.

"I know. Do you think we could ask Lady Rias to give us details about him? I want to know him better…" her friend answered in a sultry voice. They both giggled a little before they continue to walk toward the school, but they continued to ogle Rias 'bodyguard'.

And it was like that with nearly every girl on the way. But it wasn't the case with boys.

"Who's that bastard? Does he really think that he can just walk with our goddess like that?" One of the boy said while glaring daggers to the Baoh. He was a bald, monkey-faced teen with an average body. He was wearing the male uniform of Kuoh academy uniform, but didn't had the tie on it.

"Yeah, just because he's big doesn't mean he's good! We'll show him his place one day!" said his friend, a also average looking boy, with mid-long dark brown hairs and glasses. They weren't the only ones that didn't liked the attention Issei received, but they were the only one that said it aloud.

"Well well, seems like someone is getting a lot of stares. Happy to feel famous from the minute you walk in?" Asked Rias with a teasing smile.

"I don't know, all my 'fame' is because I walk with you. I can't say that I don't like the comments of the girls, but the murder intent that I feel from some boys is not quite as good.

"Don't tell me you're afraid of that?" She asked while giggling. She already knew the answer, but she wanted to see how he would react.

"Of course not. As Rias Gremory's bodyguard, I shall not vacillate in front of puny human!" he said with a powerful and respectful tone, just like a butler would. Rias laughed a little before they started to walk again, unaware of the two boys ragging behind them.

ORC room, 10 minutes before class.

Both teens arrived to the clubroom, but Rias asked Issei to stay outside for now. She wanted to surprise her peerage, so Issei accepted and let her walk in first. Rias opened the doors and entered, seeing that two peoples were already there. The first one was Kiba, in his perfectly ironed uniform and his prince charming smile on, reading a book. The other was a petite girl with white hair and hazel eyes. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She wore the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, without the shoulder cape. Her height was about 140 cm (4 feet 7 inches), making her the shortest one in the room. She was nibbling a small cake with jam on it.

"Hello Kiba, Hello Koneko. How was your weekend?

"Hello milady." Kiba responded while raising his gaze from his book. "It was okay, thank you for asking.

"...Was also okay…" responded the petite girl, Koneko. Rias looked around before asking :

"Where is Akeno? Is she late?

"No milady. She was the first one here, but decided to take a shower. She should be done now."

Just when Kiba ended his sentence, the curtain to the shower opened to reveal another woman, a beautiful young woman with a voluptuous figure with very long black hair and violet eyes. Her hair were tied in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward. She had a towel over them, drying them from her previous shower. She wore the customary Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, along with black calf-length socks.

"Haa, It feel so good!" she said before she raised her gaze to Rias. "Ara ara, Hello there President. Did you had a good weekend?

"Hello, Akeno. Well, was quite eventful, but nice overall." She said while she sat at her desk. "Okay, now that everyone is here, I'd like to introduce someone to you. He is the reason for my weekend was eventful…

"Ara ara." Said Akeno in a teasing tone. "Did you finally found a boyfriend Rias?" The queen asked with a mocking tone. Rias blushed a little before she coughed in her hand. "You can come in now." She said before the doors opened, reveling Issei. The reactions in the room were different, Kiba wasn't surprised, Akeno felt like she was right about her previous statement, but the strangest one was Koneko, for she was looking at him with a glint of interest, but her eyes were mostly cold.

Issei took a few seconds to look around, noticing that he was able to smell different things coming from the people inside the room. Rias smelled sweet, like strawberries and Kiba smelled like cologne water. But the most interesting smells came from Koneko and Akeno. Koneko smelled like something sweet, like Rias, but more like something you would want to keep for yourself. Issei felt like he needed to protect her, to keep her for himself. It felt really bizarre to him, because he didn't even knew her, but it was that way. On the other hand, he smelled danger coming from the raven-haired beauty. He wasn't sure why, but her smell made him worry about his safety, and he didn't liked that.

"Ara ara! You found yourself a real stud Rias! Let me introduce myself, I'm Akeno himejima, pleased to meet you." She said while bowing toward Issei in respect. He decided to force the danger feeling down for now, and responded with a polite voice:

"Likewise. My name's Issei." He said while bowing, before turning to Kiba. "Hey Kiba! How was Sunday?

"Nothing special at all. I guess you passed the exams to enter out school?

"Yup, just waiting for the results." Issei responded before turning to the white-haired girl "And who are you?

"….Koneko…." she said in a flat tone.

"Pleased to meet you Koneko.

"Tell me Rias." Akeno asked to her king "Does he is aware of our… secret?

"Yes, he is. I know he has a human aura, but he's not only that. We'll talk about that later, for now, we should go to classes. Issei, just relax and wait for us.

"Okay, see you Rias." He said as the ORC members leaved the room. On the way to the exit, Koneko glanced over her shoulder to Issei, before she also leaved the clubroom. Rias was the last one to leave, not without winking to her new friend before closing the doors.

During morning classes.

The morning went slowly for Issei. The first thing he did was to take a long shower, for he didn't have time to do it this morning. After an hour under the water, he decided to look what he could use later for cooking. 'I could do pasta, which would change for once… I'll make carbonara sauce with it. Yeah, should work just fine.' He thought before he laid everything he needed on the cooking table. Cracking his shoulders, he took the utensils out and slowly started to cook lunch for him and for the redhead. While he was cooking the pasta, he summarizes what he saw until now. 'I know that Rias really likes her peerage, that they all seem nice and that they are all sexy in their own way… But why did he felt in danger when Akeno came close? Her smell was weird, it smelled like danger…' he thought before he realized something 'Wait, since when did I start to feel things like this? How do I smell things like that from people instead of feeling it?' He asked himself. Sure, he did not remember what he went through before, but he was sure of something: that ability of smelling danger and other feeling wasn't there yesterday. 'Why is everything so precise, why do I feel, smell and hear everything perfectly?' he asked while panicking. He was really afraid about what was happening when he heard a voice in his head. A feral voice that was like his, but pitched differently. This voice was screaming something to him, a word that was now familiar: "BAOH!"

Issei smiled in relief and stopped cooking for a while. He leant on the closet behind him and closed his eyes, taking some time to rest. He had an idea of why his senses were sharpened to such extent. Well, he wasn't exactly sure, but it made sense for him: He was slowly becoming used to his body, or at least that was what he thought. 'I really need to search what is the Baoh, it could be useful to know what I was able to do before.' He said to himself, when suddenly, a flash blinded him. When he opened his eyes, he wasn't in the kitchen anymore. He was seeing something from above, like a ghost would do. He was in some kind of arena, with the tribune crowded with peoples. These people were shouting and cheering, like they were seeing a box match or something. Gazing down, Issei seen something that really shocked him.

He saw himself, covered in blood with someone lay at his feets. The person, who was a tall man only wearing pants, was heavily injured whilst Issei didn't even had a scratch. The people were screaming "ISSEI" and he was waving to them, like a gladiator. Suddenly, a male voice shouted "SILENCE!" and the screams were no more. From where he was, Issei couldn't see who the person was and what he looked like, but he was just in front of the arena in a VIP loge. "You did well my champion. Now, for this pathetic men lost, you earned the right to end him the way you want. Just kill him." Ordered the voice, and the teen nodded. He grabbed the men face with his right hand and started to pull the head up while forcing the body down. The man was screaming, but soon his head ripped off his chest, and he fell lifeless on the floor.

Issei was astonished. Did he really have that much strength? How was it possible? But these questions never founded answers, because another flash blinded him, and when he re-opened his eyes, he was back into the kitchen, in the exact same place. 'W-was that a dream? Or maybe memories? But why was I in an arena? What kind of life did I have before?' he asked himself, shocked and terrified of what he was capable of. He slowly breathed in and out, trying to relax. After a few seconds, He was calm again. Glancing at the clock, he saw that he was already 10 am and that he still had time before he had to cook for Rias and himself. 'But Rias told me that her rook really likes sweet things, so I'll make some cakes for everyone."

Having his new goal set, Issei started to look around for ingredients in order to bake something. He founded everything he needed and got right to baking, wanting to waste no time. 'I'll make something light; I don't want her to sleep in class.' He thought, happy to relax in cooking and baking.

New school building, First year part, Class C

It was a normal day for Koneko. She had math classes in first period, which wasn't really hard for the young devil. She now had English, which was way too easy for her, because devils had the ability to speak every language possible. It was so easy that she let her mind wander about random things, such as new cakes she could try or contracts to fill that night. But suddenly she remembered the boy her king brought in earlier. Koneko felt weird next to him earlier in the clubroom. She felt afraid when he entered, like she was a cat in front of a tiger. But she also felt attracted toward him because of this power, like he was an alpha that would protect her. Her animal instincts were screaming to her, but she was still acting normal. She would never talk about this to him. 'Maybe to big sister Rias, but not right now, it's so embarrassing…' she thought before she focused again on her classes, wanting to look like a normal student. 'I'll ask who this guy is to Big sister Rias later.' She noted to herself

ORC room, kitchen

Issei looked down on what he made so far. He had made small fruit pies, just what was needed to finish a lunch on a sweet note. Now, he needed to make the pastas and the sauce. He decided to make enough for 3 peoples, so he was sure that he would be good. Issei took his time, never caring about something else. He was happy to pay his dept toward Rias, so he putted all his heart in his cooking. Glancing to the clock behind him, he seen that it would soon be noon, so he had to cook the pastas now.

'I think I should tell Rias about the vision later. It'll wait until classes are over.' He thought as he heard a bell that was ringing nearby. He then heard cheers coming from the school ground. 'Yup, I was right. Well, the pastas should be done soon, and so will the sauce.' He said to himself while he watched over the pies that were still in the oven. They were still heating up, but would be finished in half an hour. 'I'm sure they'll like it.' Issei thought as the doors opened, and multiple persons walked in. Issei watched out of the kitchen, noticing that the white-haired girl was the first one to arrive. She had her eyes closed and seemed to sniff around. Issei walked out of the kitchen toward her.

"Hey there. Were classes good?" he said in a friendly tone. Koneko opened her eyes, revealing her golden iris. She took a step back in surprise before she sighed.

"…Don't make this again. It was scary…" she said in a monotone voice while dropping her bag on a couch. Issei smiled and laughed a little.

"I promise I won't do it again. What were you sniffing earlier?

"...Cakes…

"Yes, I made pies for everyone. Come with me for a sec." he said while moving in the kitchen. Koneko followed him, a little unsure about this. They both entered and Issei shown her the oven where the pies were. "Here, they're still baking, but it will soon be done." He said while Koneko got near the oven, watching the small cakes getting cooked. '…It sure smells good…' she acknowledged to herself before the doors opened again and Rias' voice was heard.

"Issei! We're back!" she said in her cherry tone. She entered the kitchen with a big smile on her face. "My my, Are you getting along with her Issei?

"She just arrived, I only shown her the pies I made. Ho and by the way I made pastas with carbonara sauce, hope you'll like it.

"Don't worry, if you made it, then it'll be good." She said with a smile. She then turned to her rook. "Don't worry Koneko, Issei is a good person. He won't hurt you." The redhead said while patting her head. Koneko eased a little and went back to the couch were she dropped her back earlier. Issei seen that Akeno was here too, which made him raise his guard a little. Kiba was also here, a bento on the table in front of him. Akeno also had hers and so did koneko. In fact, only Rias didn't brought her lunch. The others were looking at her strangely, before Issei arrived with a plate of carbonara pastas, a fork and a spoon.

"Here is your meal milady." He said in a respectful tone. He carried the plate over to her desk and gave her the silver fork and spoon.

"My my Rias" started Akeno "So that was why you brought him here?

"No akeno." She answered. "I saved him and so did he. That's why I brought him here.

"Calm down Rias. I was just joking…

"I know it Akeno. But yes, Issei is a really good cook.

"well, will I be able to taste it later?" she asked while turning her head toward Issei. The teen felt the same weird feeling again, this danger feeling that almost made him jump on her earlier. It felt really weird to him, but he pushed this feeling away for now and said in a friendly tone:

"Just ask and I'll try to cook you something good.

"Well well, thank you Issei. By the way, in which class will you enroll?

"In the same as Rias I think. I took the exam to enter the third year curriculum.

"Well, we'll be in the same grade and class! Isn't that nice?" Akeno said while giggling. Issei founded her really appealing, but the smell prevented him to make a move on her.

"By the way Issei." Rias started as she was eating her pastas "What will you do during the afternoon?

"I don't know… I don't really want to just sit around the whole time…

"How about you take a walk in the city? That way you will be to take your marks.

"That would be a good idea, but I might get lost without someone to help me…

"Yeah, I forgot about that…" she started while holding her chin between her slender fingers. Then, she smiled, opened one of the drawers and took a sheet of paper out of it. On this sheet was the magic circle of Rias, drawn in ink.

"Here, take this. It will allow me to come and search for you. Take also this." She said while handing him the paper, a small silver watch and a brown wallet. "Use the paper around 5 Pm to teleport here. Use it where no one can see you, I don't want problems with humans. And the wallet is just in case you need to buy something.

"Thank you Rias. How do I use this paper?

"Just think about me, and it will take you to me in the blink of an eye. And this is not regular paper. It's a magic scroll. It allows one being to be teleported to another.

"Magic sure is handy. So at 5 pm right?

"Yes, that way we will be here and not in class, so it won't be dangerous.

"Okay, well, Bon appétit everyone!" he said while he dug in his pasta plate happily. Rias giggled a little before she also started to eat, and so did everyone. During the meal, so oven made an audible 'Ting' that announced that the dessert was ready. Issei moved from the couch to the kitchen to check the pies, to find that they seemed just bake enough. He took the silver tray out and looked at the five little pies he made. Smiling to himself, he took five plates off the closet and put the pies on them with spoons. He took a tray out and brought the pies to the main room, and koneko was the first one to react, sniffing the sweet odor from the living room.

"My my Issei, you even made dessert for us? So sweet!" Akeno said while giggling. "And I see that you made one for all of us! Thank you Issei!" she continued as she gazed upon the tray that the teen was caring. There were small blueberry, apple, peach, lemon and a strawberry one. Issei moved to Rias and gave her the strawberry one while smiling. "Here, I made this one especially for you.

"Well well, trying to seduce me via my stomach Issei" Rias asked while smirking to the cook. Issei smiled and answered in a whisper:

"Well, for once I'll not joke around, because it's kinda true. I wanted to say 'thank' with these, so yeah, you could say that yes, I tried to seduce you a little.

"Hey! I won for once!" she said while giggling, before she took the pie off the tray. "Thank you Issei.

"You're welcome. Come and take one everyone! I made enough for all of us."

Koneko was the first one to move toward issei, taking the blueberry one out while muttering: "…Thank you…" Kiba was the next one to move, picking the peach one and Akeno took the lemon one while thanking Issei. As before, felt the same danger feeling, which really started to annoy him. But he pushed those thoughts aside and resumed eating his pasta silently. He heard that the others were talking, but he was too focused on the vision from before to listen to them.

'Was I a gladiator? If so, then when was it?'

"…sei…Issei…Issei!" He was snapped off his thoughts by a voice calling onto him. He turned toward the source of the call to find that Rias was looking at him.

"Are you okay Issei? I've been calling you for a few times already, and you didn't answered…

"Sorry, I was just lost in my thoughts. So, what did you wanted to talk about?

"I wanted to tell you that we were going on a job tonight, and I wanted to ask you if you wished to come with us…

"Of course. What kind of job is it?

"We have to take care of a stray devil." Responded Akeno with a smile. "These jobs are given to us by the archduke Gremory.

"Stray devils? What are those?

"Devils that kill or flee from their master. Without their master, they become enraged and live for their own pleasure, killing and lusting for no reason.

"I see… Well, I think I'll come, just in case something unexpected happens. By the way, do you guy still have time?"

Rias glanced at her watch and sighted "We have 15 minutes left…" She said while she finished her pasta and wiped her lips clean with a napkin. She then took the plate with the strawberry pie and took a bite with her spoon. She hummed happily at the taste and resumed eating happily. The other also tasted their pies and had the same reaction, apart from koneko who let her cold mask fall for a second and let out a small "Meow" with a smile. Issei heard that and smiled, happy that everyone here liked his cooking. He just questioned the fact that koneko said meow for a sec, but he soon let this thought go away.

"It very good Issei!" said Kiba. "You really are a good cook!

"I second that, I even envy Rias a little, for she had a whole meal made by you.

"Thank you akeno," Issei responded. Rias glanced at her watch again and sighed again. "Guys, we have to go back in class. Issei, don't forget to use the magic scroll, we will go to take care of stray right after class.

"Okay, have a good afternoon everyone." Issei said while waving to them. He took the different plates, forks and spoons to the sink and washed them, which only took him five minutes. He then decided to go outside, without a clear goal in mind. 'I'll just take a stroll around; will help me to clear my mind.'

30 minutes later, city center.

Issei wandered in town for a while, enjoying the nice weather of the afternoon. He also took this time to rethink his situation, but no matter how much he looked at it, he didn't have any other info about himself.

'I'll have to check the lab later. But at least I have Rias and the others.' He thought with a smile before he felt something light bump on his chest. Looking down, he saw that there was a small girl on the ground, with a large luggage on the ground.

"Ouch… Why do I always end up tripping ?" She asked to herself while patting her head. Taking a moment to study her features, Issei was surprised to see that her attire consisted of a dark teal nun outfit with light blue accents, a white veil over her head with light blue accents, a brown satchel slung on her right hip, and brown boots with black straps in an X-shaped pattern. She had a cream white skin, but her veil covered her head, so Issei couldn't see her face and hair.

"I'm Sorry sister, It's my fault" Issei responded. "I wasn't watching where I was going. Need a hand?" He asked while offering her his hand, which she happily took to get back to her feet. As she was doing so, a breeze blew by and took her veil off her head, revealing her long golden hairs. Issei decided to help her and run after the veil, but the breeze blocked it on a street light, too high for anyone to catch.

"Ho no! I don't have any other veil!" She said with teary eyes and in a sad tone.

"Don't worry sister, I got this," Issei responded before he swiftly jumped onto a nearby wall and then propelled himself toward the streetlight, grabbing the bar with his right hand. Asia had stars in her eyes as the giant, suspended by only one hand, took her veil and acrobatically jumped toward the girl and did a superhero landing in front of her.

"Wow! Th-thank you mister!" She said with a smile as she grabbed her veil and put it back on.

"It's no problem Sister. May I ask you what you are doing here alone?

"Well, I-I was sent to the church of this town, but I can't find it. It's the first time I wander in a city this big." She answered with an ashamed tone. "Ho, I forgot to introduce myself! M-My name is Asia. Asia Argento." She said while bowing.

"Pleased to meet you. My name is Issei.

"I'm sorry to ask that, but could you help me to find the church? I'll never find it alone…" she asked with puppy eyes that no one could ever say no to.

"Well, I don't really know where it is, but how about we search together?

"Yay! Th-thank you mister Issei !" she said with a bright smile that almost blinded Issei. 'Well, I guess she's really happy…' he thought before he heard loud grumble coming from the nun's stomach. She blushed hard and Issei laughed and said:

"Well, how about I take you to a restaurant? It would be my pleasure.

"Th-thank you sir…" she said while she took her suitcase with her and moved toward Issei, but to her surprise Issei took her luggage with a smile. "I'll carry that for you.

"N-no! I-I won't abuse your kindness anymore!" She tried to answer, but issei just smiled and said: "Don't worry Asia, it's a pleasure to help you." He said as they both departed toward the restaurant that Rias shown to him when they met.

At the restaurant

Issei was quite surprised to see that the nun had a really hard time choosing her meal. She has been looking at the menu for five minutes and still hasn't chosen!

"Tell me Asia, do you have any problems?

"W-well… I don't… really know what to pick… there are so many different things… I'll just take what you will take!" She said in a confused tone. Issei laughed a little and ordered two burgers and some French fries.

"Here it is. Good appétit Asia!" he said as he dug in his burger. Asia was hesitant at first but soon did just like Issei and let a pleased sight before she ate her burger at a fast paste, even faster than Issei.

"Wow, you sure was hungry Asia!

"W-well, I didn't eat anything for 2 days…

"Then, I'm happy that I was able to help you." He said while he wept her mouth with a napkin. "So you're heading toward the church, but they didn't sent anyone to get you?

"Well, I was sent here to repent about something I did, but I'm nearly sure that there is someone in this church…

"What kind of people would send a girl like you alone in a church? That's horrible.

"I know, but I deserved it. Now, how about we depart from the church? I would like to arrive before night…

"Sure thing. Let's get back to searching!" Issei said as they both got out of the fast food and started to look for the church again.

Later, Near the abandoned church.

It took them more than one hour to find this church. They have been asking to some people, and they soon learnt that they were really far from their destination. But after a lot of walking, they finally manage to reach the church. They both had a really good chats and manage to befriend in only an hour. When they reached the church, Issei was surprised, but not in a good way. The church was ruined, there were holes in the walls and the roof crumbled at some places.

"Are you really going to sleep here? It's not possible!

"Don't worry mister Issei, I'm a servant of God, so I will find a way.

"Hey Asia!" a new voice called. It was a girl with blonde hair styled into twin tails and had blue eye. She wore a Gothic lolita attire, which consisted of a black Lolita dress with white frills, a large black bow on the front, and a green jewel embedded on the collar, white thigh-high socks, and black shoes. She also wore a large black bow on top of her hair. "You're finally here! We were waiting for you!

"Miss mittlet! I'm happy to meet you! Mister Issei, I present you the person that will take care of me, Miss Mittlet.

"Hello Sir. My name is Mittlet. Please to meet you." She said with a smile. But Issei already didn't liked her. She had an horrible smell, the same as Akeno, but filthier.

"Likewise. My name is Issei. Well, I'll try to come to see you tomorrow Asia." He said to the nun while patting her head. He had a hard time leaving the blonde nun to the loli, but he had to keep appearances. 'If I try to force her out of here, it'll be problematic and way too hard. I'll just wait and see for now.'

"Okay! See you tomorrow Issei!" Asia said in a cheerful, almost childlike tone. "See you tomorrow mister issei." Answered Mittlet before Issei dropped Asia suitcase and turned around, starting to walk away.

"Go inside Asia, I have to call someone," Mittlet said to the nun who happily went in the church with her luggage. "Dohnaseek? It's me. We have a problem, Baoh made contact with the girl. We'll have to deal with him fast."

With Issei

Issei walked down the path to the city, enjoying some time alone. He then remembered that he had to come back before 5 o'clock and that it may be a good idea to check the time. Glancing at the watch Rias gave him, he saw that it was already 4 pm and that it would be a good idea to go back to the high school. He tried to find his way back to the school, but he wasn't able to come back in time, so he had to use the scroll that Rias gave him. As soon as he thought of her, he felt like his whole body turned into energy and in a heartbeat, he was in the clubroom, in front of the others.

"Here he is. Welcome back Issei." Said Rias in a happy tone. "How was your afternoon?

"Well, I helped a girl to find the church, I befriend with her, nothing much…

"Glad nothing happened this time. Well, we have to take care of the stray. Akeno, the information, please.

"Yes, President. Apparently, we are hunting a woman, Viser, who betrayed her master and that has been eating human. She should be in an abandoned factory right now.

"Okay. Issei, we will take care of it. Don't move if it's not necessary.

"No problem Rias.

"Good, now everyone, let's go!" Rias said as a large magic circle appeared under all of them. "Issei, come near me please, or you won't be able to teleport with us," Rias said with a wink before Issei came near her and grabbed her hand. Then they all teleported, and all appeared in front of an old factory, far from the living block.

"Koneko, open the doors," Rias ordered before the petite girl punched the doors open, which surprised Issei. 'She sure seems strong for someone of her size…' He thought before he smelled something rotten coming from inside.

"…Smells bad…" Koneko said while putting up her guard. They all walked inside, ready for anything before a female voice said :

"I smell something bad. But I also smell something delicious. I wonder if it's sweet, or if it's bitter?"

Appearing from behind a column was a busty woman in her early thirties, with long black hair. She was totally naked, but everything below her waist was hidden in shadow.

"Stray devil Viser! For you have betrayed your master, and in the name of the Gremory clan I, Rias gremory, will make you disappear!

" You are cunning for a little girl! I will rip your body and color it in red just like your hair!" She yelled before her body appeared, showing the monstrosity that she really was. She had a body that looked like centaurs, but the front legs were two giant human arms. Her back legs were covered in brown fur and she had a snake tail.

"So that's a stray hum?" Issei said to himself as he watched what the others would do.

"Yuuto, take care of her.

"Yes, milady," Kiba said as he dashed toward the monster and slashed the monster two arms off.

"Wow, I barely saw him move!

"That's normal, Yuuto is my knight. He specializes in speed and sword fighting."

After Yuuto slashed her arms Koneko walked forward and punched Riser in the stomach, sending her flying.

"Phew! She's strong!

"Koneko is my rook. Her abilities are absolute strength and defense."

Then akeno spread her bat-like wings and flew over Viser, who was still on the ground due to Koneko's blow and said:

"Fufufu, Well well, you have been a really bad girl! Guess I'll have to punish you!" She said with a sadistic smile and started to use thunder magic on Viser.

"And there is Akeno, my queen. She has the abilities of the other piece. Ho, and by the way, she's the ultimate sadist." Rias aid with a smile. She then walked to Viser's body, who was trying to recover from the shocks akeno did to her.

"Well stary devil, any last words?

"Fuck you, bitch!

"Well, farewell Viser," Rias said as a red orb appeared in her hand. Issei felt danger coming from this orb. Rias then raised her palm and threw her orb to Viser, who vanished in ashes while screaming.

"Well, I hope you understood everything Issei. Now we can go back to-" Rias started before something came at great speed toward her. She turned to see a tall beast-like man, with a lion head, brown fur over his body and lion pawns as feet.

"You dared to kill my Viser? You're going to die!" The stray said as he was arming a punch toward Rias. 'I can't avoid it! It's too late!' she thought in despair before she closed her eyes, brassing for the impact. But it never came. All she heard was a pained growl from the stray, and another scream: "BAOH!". Opening her eyes, she saw that Baoh blocked the blow with his fist, catching it with a single hand. He then grabbed the forearm of his opponent with both his hands and threw it in a wall, breaking it from the impact. The Baoh then jumped toward the Lion and landed on its chest, pinning him on the ground.

"Wh-What are you?" The stray asked, but the baoh didn't responded and instead grabbed his shoulders and started to pull on them, wanting to tore them off his body. The stray tried to break free, but the force that the Baoh used on him was too great, so he couldn't move. Slowly the flesh of the stray's arm started to tear and blood flown out. Kiba took a step back and put his hand over his mouth in shock and koneko hid behind Kiba and made herself as small as possible. Then there was akeno. She was rubbing her legs together and was blushing and breathing hard due to the baoh presence and the violence he used. Rias also had to admit that she felt way less powerful then him. She felt different from the first time she saw him. He seemed invincible, like even her power of destruction couldn't match. 'He almost seems on par with other high class devils… I need him in my peerage!' She thought before she seen that the Baoh pushed harder and ripped the larger arms off, the stray screaming at the top of its lungs. Then Baoh grabbed the stray by the neck and the same electrical aura appeared around him. Rias had the reflex to take a step back and screamed to her friends: "Everyone, Fly! He will use thunder magic!" They all understood and started to fly in the air, not wanting to touch the ground right now. The Baoh unleashed all his thunder energy in the stray, frying him in just few seconds.

Rias was astonished. He literally obliterated this stray with thunder energy that was even stronger than the magic of akeno! Baoh then transformed back into Issei, who calmly walked toward the group with his hands in his pockets.

"You can all come down now. It's over.

"Th-Thank you Issei. Without you, I would have taken a direct hit from this stray.

"No problems. I will always save you when needed." He said with a smile while the ORC members landed in front of him.

"Okay everyone!" started Rias. "It's over for now. Return to your homes at once and take a good night of rest, I'll see you all tomorrow." Rias said while they all used magic circles to go back to their house. Akeno was the last one to go because she had to tell something to her king. She came closer to Rias and whispered in her hear: "We'll have to talk about him tomorrow." And then she teleported to her house.

"Now, how about we both go back to my place Issei?

"Sure, I'll make something to eat for us. Do you want something special?

"Hum…. I think I'll let you surprise me. Now, take my hand." She said while she held her hand to the teen, who took it and they both teleported to Rias' apartment. Issei got to cooking as soon as they entered, while Rias was taking a shower. He made fish and chips for supper, which Rias enjoyed very much, then she changed while Issei was showering. After all this they were now both in bed, Issei hugging Rias in his powerful arms.

"Was quite a day right Issei?

"Yup, but at least I know I'm in the same school as you, so that's nice.

"haw, you'll make me blush." She said while giggling.

"Have a good night Rias.

"You too Issei.
