Hey hey hey! What is up my friends! I am back and the same as ever! Probably! Not really. Let's get to that review, shall we? (And if you are wondering why I only respond to a few people then it's because they are the only ones reviewing.)

Darth56: Nope, I won't have him do that. Yuudai already made it clear it wouldn't happen. And good, I always give my best for my stories...don't look at the Zengaria.

Chapter 11: Ladies From The Church

"So why am I here?" Yuudai asks still in his powered up form in front of Issei. The boy is on his bed with no apparent problem on his body.

"I...I really blew it at the Rating Game Yuudai." Issei tells him. "We lost and...I can't help but feel like I failed her. She put so much trust in me only for me to fail."

Yuudai sighs. "So this is why he brought me over." Yuudai mutters. "Look Issei, it's not the end of the world." Yuudai states. "Has Grayfia talked to you yet?"

Issei nods. "Yes. Right before I called you here." He admits. He pulls out the wish paper. "I called you over not just to talk to you, but to ask you for a favor." Issei says.

Yuudai shakes his head. "I know what you're going to ask and the answer is no." He tells the brown haired teen.

Issei grits his teeth. "You're going to let some relative of hers stop you from saving an innocent girl?" Issei asks. "I thought you were much better than that."

Yuudai sighs again. "I'm not. I never was the one to help those that has affiliation with the enemy. You should know this." He retorts.

"Then you should be leaving." Issei states with his eyes covered by his hair.

Yuudai turns around. "Here I thought you could use someone to keep you from ever being manipulated...I guess I can't be the one." He disappears in a burst of speed as Issei is about to apologize for his unwarranted anger towards the teen.

Issei's eyes widen registering what Yuudai had just said. "I just lost my friend that had been there when I first turned into a devil...damn it." Issei mutters feeling a tear fall down his face. "I have to save her though. I have to."

Three Days Later

"It's your turn kid." A buffed up guy in the Kuoh Academy uniform says to Yuudai after bringing Yuudai to the back of the school. "Cough up the two thousand yen for me not kicking your ass to hell and back."

Yuudai glares at the guy. "Who are you to try that with me?" Yuudai questions. "Bullies like you deserve to be paying me for not outright offing you like a fly."

The bully growls. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you leave or I break your nose." Yuudai replies. "After all, you should know why I transferred here."

The bully stiffens. "You wouldn't risk doing that again."

Yuudai grabs the collar of his shirt slamming him into the wall getting small cracks from his back. "Do you really want to test me?" Yuudai questions. "Now if I hear about you hasling people for money again then I'll be transferring for sending a delinquent to the hospital."

The bully nods in acknowledgment. Yuudai lets go of him watching the guy run off as quick as his normal human legs could take him. The teen sighs walking off school grounds. The school day is already finished. His eyes look to the ORC place for a moment noticing Rias there. Seems Issei saved her after all.

"I knew he could do it." Yuudai mutters walking off into the the city.

Issei notices Yuudai leaving the school without even a small smile. He really screwed up the other night. Ever since that night, it has bothered him day in and day out. Never even told anyone about this. He shouldn't feel the need to keep it quiet, but it's as if he needs to resolve all this on his own. His screw up means his mess.

Asia also notices Yuudai leaving. She knows what happened between him and Yuudai the other night. She had been in the next room over overhearing them. When she heard how it ended, she was saddened. The last thing she wanted to hear was the two end things like that after nearly losing the girl that revived her.

Issei and Asia walk over to Rias. "Alright, I called you two over because I just got information on a stray devil. We are going to meet later tonight to kill it." Rias tells the two.

"Alright pres." Issei says. "Anything else?"

"Only that there are priests reported coming to Kuoh. Just be careful you two." Rias informs the two.

Later

"I get here then nobody bothers to show up. Nice." Yuudai mutters sarcastically. He is currently sitting at a table at a diner.

When he returned home his parents told him he had visitors earlier. They said the two were nuns or priestesses and that the two were busy. So they told them to tell him to meet them at this diner. That is the long and confusing gist of it.

"Are we right to assume you are Yuudai?" A feminine voice asks from behind him.

He turns to find two girls in robes. One of them has long blond hair and the other has shorter purple hair with a stray green looking hair strand. Yuudai deadpans.

"So you two are the priestesses or nuns I've heard about." Yuudai says getting rid of his deadpan expression. He motions for them to sit at the table. "Please, take a seat."

"Thank you." The two thank taking a seat.

"So why did you ask for me to meet you two here? It's not that I don't believe in god, it's just I don't want to talk about the guy." Yuudai starts.

The girl with long blond hair smiles. "My name is Irina and her name is Xenovia. Our objective today is not to talk about his holy grace today unfortunately, but to ask for your help."

Yuudai raises an eyebrow. "The church needs my help?" Yuudai questions. "Why would you all want a normal guy like me to help with anything?"

Xenovia rolls her eyes. "You know that practically everyone of the supernatural world has heard of you or that a human came from another dimension, right?" She asks dully.

Yuudai sighs. "Don't remind me. No matter how much I know this, it still is annoying."

"We came to you to ask for your help since you know the place better. That and we have heard of your immense strength. We could use that against whoever stole the excaliburs." Xenovia explains. "We have nothing to offer except our gratitude as a reward."

Yuudai stays silent for a few seconds assessing them. "I'll help. Gratitude is all that I can ask for, so that'll be more than enough." Yuudai answers. The two sigh in relief.

"I knew god's plan would let us bring the Dimension Traveler into our little group." Irina says. "Thank you god, you came through for us again."

Yuudai deadpans again. "Religious nut." He mutters. "Anyway, while we are here, are you two hungry?" He hears their stomachs growl loudly from the mere mention of hunger. "I take that as a yes."

"We would be ever so grateful." Irina says sweat dropping with a hand on the back of her head.

Yuudai hands them some money from his wallet. "This should be enough to feed the two of you. Where will we meet again?"

"Meet us at the Gremory HQ. I have no doubt that you know where that might be." Xenovia informs while Irina is ordering food excitably. Xenovia joins her in ordering as Yuudai leaves the area.

The feeling of being watched creeps upon Yuudai on his walk back home. Not by any kind of friendly being either. Not the kind he gets at the school when a random girl swoons for him which doesn't happen as much as one would expect. He acts like nothing is wrong without showing he even knows. However, he is using his peripheral vision to look for anything out of the ordinary.

His vision catches the sight of a taller man with pointed ears. The man's eyes are locked onto Yuudai like a hawk. Like a predator would when watching its prey. Next to the man seems to be the Freed guy that left his comrades to die. He seems to be watching without restrained fear.

This puts a small smirk to Yuudai's face. It seems that he instilled a permanent fear in the guy. It's no surprise thought. After all, Yuudai massacred his group without even getting a single hit in on himself.

"I still feel as though he'll kill me on the spot if I fight him right now." Freed says to the man to his side, Kokabiel.

Kokabiel only smirks himself. "Where is your usual bravado? One minute you want a bunch of civilians dead and giggling about it then you stiff up backing away from a perfect training dummy for your new toy." Kokabiel states still looking at Yuudai. Yuudai has stopped at this point to look right back at Kokabiel.

Freed looks at his new weapon, an excalibur. "I don't think this thing will work. Besides, he was just talking with those girls that was sent by the church to get these back! Besides, I have a better idea." Freed says returning his psychotic grin.

"Then let's get to it." Kokabiel replies disappearing with Freed leaving feathers only behind.

Yuudai returns to a straight face. "That was...boring. Huh, I guess even the bad guys know when it's a lost cause. What could they be planning though?"

Next Day Outside The ORC Building

"So that is your choice in clothing?" Xenovia asks looking Yuudai over seeing his outfit he wears for his fights and his time in Halkeginia. "Kind of strange."

"I think it look good on him. Makes him look like he means business." Irina comments.

Yuudai nods in agreement with Irina. "Exactly. Besides, I like this kind of clothing rather than that formal crap." Yuudai says. "Anyway, we should probably walk inside now."

"That would be the preferred course of action." Xenovia states.

The three walk inside to find the devils all there. Irina catches sight of Issei immediately becoming disappointed. Yuudai sees Asia giving her a small smile.

"Don't worry, I haven't decided to give you an exorcism." Yuudai jokes with Asia. She only giggles a small bit. The three take a seat on the couch opposite of devils.

Rias clears her throat unhappy that her mortal enemies are here and Yuudai is with them. "What would the church want that'd send you here?" Rias starts questioning.

The two look to Yuudai to talk on getting a deadpan expression. "You both barely gave me the short version of why you're here, you two tell them." He tells them.

The two decide on Irina to talk. "We are here to hunt down some items stolen from the church. We came here to tell you not to interfere with our search." She explains bluntly.

Rias rolls her eyes. "Like we have any interest in what the church wants to do with their time. Just make sure you hurry. We don't like the church in our territory." She replies to her.

"Quit worrying, we recruited a temporary partner to help quicken the search." Xenovia adds.

"Then you'll be leaving very soon." Rias says.

"Yes." Xenovia answers.

Yuudai stands up stretching his back. "Well that was nice and quick. It was nice seeing you Asia, I'll have to really talk with you sometime outside of school or this kind of thing."

"Did you say Asia?" Xenovia asks. "As in the heritic?"

Asia stiffens and Yuudai narrows his eyes on Xenovia. "I said Asia. As in Asia Argento." He says to her. "Is there a problem with that?"

Xenovia turns her attention to the blond girl. "Tell me, do you still believe in the mercy of God?"

"In his great plan for us all?" Irina adds. Issei frowns standing next to Asia as well as Yuudai.

"Yes. Even though I became a devil, I still believe in God with my very soul." Asia answers.

Xenovia stands up placing her palm on the hilt of her sheathed sword. "Then you should let me cleanse your soul and allow me to send you to him by death." Xenovia states.

"Like hell you will." Yuudai and Issei growl at the same time.

"Why do you care about some devil girl Yuudai?" Irina asks.

"I'd like to know that as well." Xenovia chimes.

"Because I kept her alive having them revive her. I'll have you two knocked through that wall before you even attempt to take her life." Yuudai replies. "If you want my help then you best leave her alone."

"Then we want to know what you are capable of. We don't want to be working with someone that is overestimated." Xenovia tells him. "You will fight us. Outside this building."

"As much as I hate to admit it, this is Rias' property. Although, if she was to if she was to let us brawl here then I'd have no problems whatsoever." Yuudai hints at Rias.

"You are pretty much asking me to let a couple girls from the church get a beating of their lifetime. Please, it'd be an honor to watch that." Rias states.

Kiba steps forward with a stern glare at the two. "Please allow me to fight one of them." He requests.

"I couldn't care less, I just need these two to learn my way of thinking." Yuudai states.

"Then I don't mind." Rias says.

"That will be fine with us too." Xenovia says.

Everyone walks outside with Kiba and Xenovia standing a few yards from each other while Irina and Yuudai do the same. "I believe mercy is off the table." Yuudai claims. His ring flashes turning his hair into the blue streaks many have come to fear. Irina tilts her head unaware of what she is now facing. "You threatened to murder the one person I can call my friend and mean it. Let's teach you why you shouldn't have."

Kiba glares at Xenovia's sword. "My goal is to destroy that damned sword, that is my only reason for living. So prepare to lose!" Kiba roars summoning a sword that absorbs light while running at her.

End

And that is finished. By this point, the preview is deleted and Riser is now a thing of the past. I hope I'm progressing the story well enough.

I hope you look forward to the fight next chapter since it will be, most likely, short. But if you have questions, you know what to do. Without much else to say, thanks for following, favoriting, reading, reviewing and have a great day/night/morning!
