"I hope you're ready to begin devil," Xenovia said standing a meter away from Kiba with Irina next to her. Facing Irina stood Natsu staring down both the knights while standing alongside Kiba. Kiba chuckled at Xenovia's comment which made her look at him in confusion.

"You're laughing?" Xenovia questioned as Kiba smirked at her.

"Yes I'm laughing…after so long I finally have the thing I want to destroy right in front of me." Kiba said before slamming his hands on the floor making blades stick out of the floor all around him. He picked up his light eating blade and pointed it at Xenovia.

"Sword birth…I see, so you have this rare sacred gear." Xenovia said pulling her own blade from the grass which she had stabbed it into. "Never the less no matter what sacred gear you posses I will defeat you."

"Is this really okay Rias?" Akeno asked looking at her friend who had her eyes fixed on the three knights and Natsu.

"This is an unofficial match, I'm sure it will be fine." Rias said smiling at Akeno before she noticed the worried expression on her friends faces. "I'm sure Natsu will be fine he's stronger when he's fighting for his friends." Rias said reassuringly making Akeno and Asia look at her surprised before smiling unlike Koneko who had to hide the faint blush she got from being caught worrying about Natsu.

"Are you ready pinkie?" Irina asked smiling at Natsu as her bracelet began to change into a blade.

"I'm ready…but I want you both to agree to one thing before we start." Natsu said seriously much to Xenovia and Irina's confusion.

"Oh and what may that be?" Irina asked curious to hear what Natsu was going to say, he was a strange devil in her opinion but not in a bad way. He seemed more caring than any devil she had ever gotten to know, not that she knew many to begin with but even so he was definitely strange.

"If we win you have to apologize to Asia." Natsu said making Xenovia frown.

"Apologizing would be like admitting I was wrong, my intentions were to save her and I stand by my word." Xenovia said which made Natsu clench his fist.

"I have to agree with Xenovia, God's love is always the correct course. We can't apologize for wanting to help Asia." Irina agreed by which point flames began to course off of Natsu.

"Who are you to judge Asia? She tries so hard to make friends and get along with everyone but all you people think about is the fact that she's a devil! You shouldn't judge her for what she is; devil, angel, fallen angel, human who gives a damn Asia is Asia and that's what matters!" Natsu yelled more flames pouring off his body with every word.

"Natsu…" Asia muttered feeling her heart flutter.

"If you won't apologize to Asia for hurting her then I will beat you and show you that you are wrong." Natsu said taking a fighting stance as his gear appeared on his arm. Irina was absolutely confused by Natsu; everything he's said since she met him was nothing like what a devil was supposed to say. Even Xenovia was astonished by his words; that's not to say she doesn't still stand by her word, but never had she met someone like him.

'Boost!'

"I will beat you for Asia! Karyuu no Ken!" (Fire Dragon's Fist) Natsu yelled charging at Irina and pulling his dragon fist back before slamming it into Irina. She blocked it using her blade but she couldn't hold him for long and was sent tumbling back.

"Please lord, bless my sword and let me show this sinful devil the error of his ways." Irina said as she regained her balance and kissed the cross around her neck before placing both hands back on the blade grip. "Amen!" She yelled charging forward but Natsu ducked under the slash and punched her in the stomach. Before she could recover Natsu was behind her grabbing her foot to throw her into the air.

"Karyuu no Hoko!" Natsu yelled roaring at Irina and firing a blast of fire; she landed and immediately dived out of the way to avoid the attack. She managed to dodge it but Natsu was on her again throwing punches and kicks she could barely dodge or block.

"It seems your partner has gotten serious." Xenovia said as she noticed Kiba charging at her. She was going to counter but he vanished before she could step forward. She looked around but couldn't find Kiba it wasn't until he was right behind that she noticed him. "You're very fast; against a normal opponent you may have been able to get a good strike in." Xenovia said stabbing her blade into the floor causing a large explosion of holy energy that sent Kiba flying back and shattered his sword.

"But I am no ordinary knight, I fight for God and he returns my love by blessing me with Excalibur Destruction." Xenovia said pulling her blade out of the floor and slashing at the air which sent a wave of energy at Kiba. He jumped out of the way and pulled his fire and ice blades from the floor before advancing.

"Shut up! My only reason for fighting is destroying your Holy Swords and I refuse to fail!" Kiba yelled forming an X with his blades. "Burn and Freeze by my blades!" He yelled rushing forward and spinning to slash at Xenovia with both blades but she blocked them and shattered both swords before her blade let out a holy explosion which again sent Kiba flying back.

"Then attack me devil boy, show me the resolve of a devil living for vengeance." Xenovia said as Kiba picked himself up and grabbed two new blades from the ground and ran at her again. The fight dragged on with Kiba not landing a single blow on the blue haired knight, he picked himself again and again but to no avail.

On the other hand Natsu was dominating in his fight. Irina couldn't keep up with his strength and speed, "Karyuu no Yokugeki!" (Fire Dragon's Wing Attack) Natsu yelled slamming his flaming arms down on Irina who barely had time to jump out of the way.

'He just keeps getting fast and stronger! What do I do?' Irina thought as she watched Natsu walk out of the flames he created he vanished before her eyes and appeared behind her. She turned to swing at him as soon as she noticed him.

'Boost!'

Irina's swing sliced straight throw Natsu's stomach, or at least she thought it did but after a few seconds she realized she had attacked an after image. She jumped around to see Natsu's fist just inches from her face. Natsu's fist connected with her cheek and sent her flying across the grass he was about to move in again but he had to jump back when a wave of holy light shined right in front of him.

"I see you are stronger than your friend but even no matter how hard you fight God's might will smite thee." Xenovia said as Natsu glared at her. He glanced over to Kiba and saw that he could barely stand up but not from lack of trying. He was still trying to force his body up but with little success. Natsu rushed forward to try and help him but Xenovia aimed her blade for him forcing him to stop.

"You have sullied the lord's name for that I have to defeat you." Xenovia said as Natsu charged at her.

"God this! Lord that! Why can't you live for yourself?" Natsu asked throwing a flurry of punches at Natsu faster than Xenovia could keep track of. A few of the punches landed with Xenovia's body but she shrugged off the pain and kept fighting.

"God's love is my reason for living." Xenovia answered jumping away from Natsu. She looked at Natsu to see if he had taken any damage but she could see no scratches on him. The only injuries he had sustained were from her blocking his fist with her blade. Irina stood back up and walked over to Xenovia's side, together the two knights stared Natsu down.

The two knights separated, Xenovia charged from the left while Irina charged from the right. Xenovia was able send a wave of holy energy that forced Natsu to dodge but in his distraction Irina was able to cut him across the chest.

"Gah!" Natsu yelled as a black energy began to flood from the wound. It was a rather deep cut, nothing fatal but it hurt more than Natsu could have imagined.

"Natsu!" Asia yelled watching in horror as Natsu fell to his knees clutching the wound. He could see his blood stain his hand but despite the pain he stood back up.

"You should give up on trying to change my beliefs, devils are evil that is the undeniable truth." Xenovia said slamming the blunt side of her blade on the weakened dragon slayer and sending him to the floor.

"No," Natsu growled slowly picking himself back up. "No way in hell." He continued slamming his fist into the floor as he stood. "I won't give up! I won't give up until your entire church understands that just because Asia's a devil doesn't mean she's evil!" Natsu roared upper cutting Xenovia and ducking under Irina's slash. He jumped up and drop kicked Irina into the grass.

"A true holy nun would never become a devil, that is why Asia Argento is a witch, a devil like you could never understand," Xenovia said standing back up and charging at Natsu but just as she reached him he was gone. Irina recovered as well standing on shaky legs; she turned to see Xenovia standing next to her but no sign of Natsu.

'Explosion!'

"You're right I don't understand." Natsu said appearing behind Xenovia and landing a punch straight to her back. "But if understanding your God means I have to forgot about my friends just because they're devils then I don't want to understand him!" Natsu yelled kicking Irina toward Xenovia "because my friends are everything to me! Shinkuryuu no Hoken!" (Crimson Dragon's Crumbling Fist) Natsu yelled running forward and slamming a flaming fist with crimson energy flowing off of it into both Xenovia and Irina sending them tumbling across the field.

Xenovia and Irina lay on the floor both their bodies and pride beaten. Xenovia was trying to pick herself up but could only barely sit up, Natsu was still standing tall even if he was panting slightly she knew he was on a completely different level. Irina was also forcing herself up but when she saw Natsu she expected to see an evil smirk or even just a cocky one but in place of this was a stoic expression.

"Asia was your nakama once; even if she isn't anymore you should respect her wishes; that's all I want." Natsu said offering a hand to the female knights. Xenovia made no move to accept the gesture but Irina carefully accepted and Natsu helped her up before offering the same to Xenovia. She scoffed slightly and picked herself up before turning away from the dragon slayer.

"We're done here Irina, let's go." Xenovia said walking away despite her bodies injuries her pride forced her to move forward, Irina followed the bluenette but not before sneaking a glance at Natsu. Natsu's sacred gear faded and immediately Natsu started to feel disoriented.

'Careful partner you took a big hit to the chest, and with how recklessly you used both my power and your magic you need to rest.' Ddraig said as Natsu chuckled.

"I'm all about reckless Ddraig," Natsu muttered back as the girls ran to his side apart from Rias who walked over to Xenovia and Irina before they got too far and Koneko who ran to check on Kiba.

"Natsu are you okay?" Asia asked summoning her gear and healing his wound. It was slowly healing but not as fast as usual due to the cut coming from a holy sword.

"Yeah I'm fine Asia just a scrape." Natsu said grinning at the blonde making her smile slightly along with Akeno.

"That was an amazing fight Natsu." Akeno said much to the dragon slayer's delight.

"Heh well what can I say Ddraig and I are a perfect combo." Natsu said holding his right hand up with a toothy grin plastered on his face. While Akeno and Asia conversed with Natsu Rias began to speak to the two holy knights.

"Before you leave if it's alright I would like to ask you if you know who stole the holy swords." Rias said making Xenovia glance at her with a frown.

"A leader of the Grigori, Kokabiel, was directly involved." Xenovia answered surprising Rias.

"You were planning to fight an opponent that powerful alone?" Rias asked she was completely astonished that the church would only send two knights to defeat such a powerful opponent.

"Yes we will either take the swords back or destroy them. That is our mission and we will carry it out no matter what." Xenovia answered before she started walking away again with Irina behind her. Rias sighed unaware that Natsu and by extension Ddraig heard everything.

A few feet away from Natsu Koneko was standing next to Kiba helping him stand back up, his face held both anger and self loathing for losing against a holy sword.

"Kiba are you okay?" Koneko asked concerned for the knight but he didn't respond he only pulled his arms from her hold and started walking away.

"Wait Kiba let me heal your wounds." Asia said walking over to him after Natsu's wound had mostly healed.

Kiba signaled for her to stop by holding up his hand before he spoke "don't…don't heal me, from this day on I am no longer a part of the Gremory household. I am a stray devil." Kiba said much to everyone's shock.

"What are you talking about?" Natsu said jogging over to his friend but before Natsu could reach him he vanished in an impressive burst of speed.

"Senpai…" Koneko muttered obviously saddened by Kiba leaving.

"Kiba!" Natsu said running in the direction that Kiba took off in. He could still smell his scent and he planned to find him whatever the cost.

"Natsu wait!" Rias yelled making the dragon slayer stop in his tracks; he looked back at Rias confused. "Give Kiba some time to clear his head he just needs some alone time." Rias said making Natsu sigh. He didn't want to let Kiba run away again, he wanted to help Kiba anyway he could.

"Alright Rias…" Natsu said clenching his fists.

Natsu walked through the halls of the school completely downcast he didn't even have the energy to argue with Aika for calling him a cherry boy, which in turn made her assume she was being ignored and storm off angrily.

'Partner, are you okay?' Ddraig asked Natsu throw his mind.

'Not really, Kiba's been acting weird.' Natsu thought back.

'Yes you are correct but he has good reason to act the way he is. He has been through a lot.' Ddraig replied making Natsu sigh.

'I know but I just wish I could help him.'

'I know but the only way to help him is destroying the Excalibur's which you cannot do because of the church affiliates.' Ddraig said making Natsu stop walking

'Hey Ddraig, do you think they would let us help in destroying them?' Natsu asked the crimson dragon.

'Under normal circumstances no but in this case it is possible albeit not very. The church only sent two knights to retrieve three Excalibur's, it is quite obvious they are out matched.' Ddraig answered making Natsu grin.

'Then we gotta find them.' Natsu thought 'so we can help Kiba.'

'Very well but even you can't defeat three holy swords and a leader of the Grigori alone. You will need help.' Ddraig said knowing full well that he wouldn't be able to convince Natsu to not help Kiba.

'Okay but who?'

"Get back here you damn cat!" Saji yelled as he chased after Happy who was running with a fish in his mouth. Happy spotted Natsu and curved toward the left to hide behind him.

"Natsu hide me!" He yelled as he cowered behind the dragon slayer.

"Yo Saji what's up?" Natsu asked waving at the devil boy but he just frowned at Natsu.

"Your cat stole a fish from the cafeteria." Saji said making Natsu shrug.

"He likes fish." Natsu said nonchalantly before he remembered that Saji was a devil just like he was and according to him he was as strong as four pawns.

"That doesn't mean he can just steal it!" Saji yelled pointing at Natsu but he gave the pawn a stoic expression.

"Saji I need to ask you for a favor." Natsu said seriously, Saji was going to yell at him for changing the subject but then he noticed the look in Natsu's eyes and he rethought his words.

"What kind of favor?" Saji asked raising an eyebrow at the dragon slayer. Natsu looked around at all the other students in the hall and then turned back to Saji.

"I think we should relocate, I don't want anyone to hear us." Natsu said making Saji groan in annoyance before he nodded.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Line Break XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"This had better be important if Sona finds out I ditched school she'll kill me." Saji complained as he, Happy, and Natsu stood in an alley a few blocks from the school.

"It is I need your help." Natsu said before explaining the situation and his plan for getting Kiba back. Hearing Natsu ask for help was amazing to Happy he had never heard the dragon slayer ask anyone for help let alone someone like Saji.

"Are you insane?! Forget ditching! If Sona finds out I was involved with holy swords she'll kill me then revive me just so she can do it again!" Saji yelled "I am not getting involved with this." He continued as he stormed off but just as he was about to exit the alley someone picked him up and carried him back.

"I knew you would try something like this." Koneko said dropping Saji near Natsu and looking over at said boy.

"I had no choice Kiba is my friend." Natsu said making Happy nod.

"Natsu is right we have to help him." Happy agreed.

"I want to help Kiba as well Natsu, I'm worried about him which is why I am going to join you." Koneko said grabbing Saji by the shirt and yanking him back when he tried to crawl away. "The first thing we have to do is find the two church affiliates." Koneko said turning to exit the alley.

"I can probably find them using their scent; the only problem is that there are a ton of people in this city so it may take a while." Natsu said following after her with Happy still on his shoulder. "Hey Happy why don't you search from the sky, one of the girls has blue hair so she should stand out. Just make sure to stay high enough so people don't realize you're a cat."

"Aye sir!" Happy yelled excitedly before shooting up into the sky to look for Xenovia. Saji hesitantly walked alongside Koneko and Natsu, he tried to run again but Koneko was stronger than she looked. The group walked around for a while looking for the two holy knights but to no avail, Natsu could only distinguish that they were within a two mile radius of them but due to the multitude of scents from people, food, and cars around them it was a difficult task.

"This may take some time; they would not just be out in the open especially since they are on a stealth mission." Koneko said but just as they turned a corner they heard a familiar voice.

"Um…please help two lost souls in need of sustenance." Xenovia muttered as she and Irina stood on the street corner in their white robes with a sign that read 'Help the hand of love!'

"God bless you!" Irina chirped when an elderly woman left a dollar in their offering tin.

"Yo Xenovia Irina we've been looking for ya!" Natsu said grinning making them look up in surprise. As soon as Xenovia saw Natsu she scowled at him as he walked over to them.

"What is it that you want?" Xenovia said coldly but Natsu's grin didn't falter.

"Oh well I-" *grumble* Natsu said but was interrupted by Xenovia and Irina's stomachs grumbling loudly making the two girls blush slightly.

"You guys must be starving, why don't we stop by somewhere to eat so we can talk." Natsu offered but Xenovia immediately declined.

"We will not accept the help of a-" *grumble* Xenovia spat but she was interrupted by a louder grumble from her stomach.

"You were saying?" Natsu asked with a shit eating grin.

"Come on Xenovia we don't have a choice we haven't eaten since we got here." Irina pleaded making Xenovia sigh in defeat.

"Fine," She grumbled making Natsu and Irina cheer.

"Alright let's go!" Natsu cheered but before he could move a blue blur ran toward him. "Natsu I couldn't find them!" Happy yelled distraught by his failure but then he noticed Xenovia standing beside them. "Oh wait guess what Natsu I just found them!" Happy said smiling at his partner who sighed in response.

"Good work Happy…couldn't have done it without ya." Natsu said sarcastically but before anyone could say another word Irina snatched Happy from Natsu.

"Aw he's so cute!" Irina yelled rubbing her face against Happy's fur.

"Help…she's strangling me…" Happy cried but it fell on deaf ears as Natsu only chuckled at his misfortune.

"It's so good!" Irina cheered as she and Xenovia ate from the multiple plates in front of them. They ordered even more than Natsu usually does and that's an impressive feat.

"The food in this country is amazing!" Xenovia yelled eating a bowl of ramen before swapping to curry.

"Watching them eat is making my stomach hurt." Saji muttered amazed by the amount of food two girls could eat.

"All it means is that they were hungry." Koneko said scooping a spoonful of her ice cream sundae. A few minutes later the plates were cleared of food and Irina and Xenovia sat back sighing happily until Xenovia realized what she did.

"What have I done? Even if it's to build faith, the world must be ending if I've been saved by a devil." Xenovia muttered clenching her fist which made Natsu roll his eyes.

"We've sold our souls to the devil." Irina muttered in defeat. "Lord, please have mercy on these kind devils." Irina said kissing the cross around her neck but as soon as she said this Koneko, Natsu, and Saji started gripping their heads in pain.

"Hey watch where you toss your blessings!" Natsu yelled slamming his head against the table.

"Oh I'm sorry I did it out of habit." Irina apologized but then Xenovia slammed her cup on the table although not hard enough to break it.

"Well? Why did you contact us?" Xenovia asked her eyes fixing on Natsu.

"We wanna help destroy Excalibur." Natsu said seriously much to both knight's shock.

"What?" Xenovia questioned raising an eyebrow at the dragon slayer. He went on to explain the situation to the knight's so they would understand why they wanted to help.

"I see…I don't mind letting you take care of one sword." Xenovia said making Irina turn to her in surprise.

"Wait Xenovia we can't do that." Irina argued but Xenovia shook her head.

"We are hopelessly outmatched, the other side even has the leader of the fallen angels, Kokabiel, with them. Our chances of success are nearly zero, the higher ups sent us knowing full well that we may have to sacrifice our lives for this the church." Xenovia said frowning at the table.

"That is a believers dream isn't it? To die for the Lord," Irina said seriously but before Xenovia could answer Natsu slammed his fist on the table.

"Bull shit!" He yelled standing up from his chair. "What the hell kind of God has his followers die just to feel loved!" Natsu yelled making the other people in the restaurant look at him as if he were insane. Koneko shushed him and he complied by lowering his voice.

"A church that would sacrifice its members just for a few swords is more corrupt than any devil I've ever met." Natsu growled while clenching his fists. Both Xenovia and Irina were shocked by his words.

'Devils are supposed to be selfish and greedy in nature, why does he care so much about what the church does?" Xenovia asked herself before she sighed.

"We will accept your assistance." Xenovia said with authority although by the tone of her voice it sounded less like her accepting help and more like her granting them permission to help. Natsu, Happy, and Xenovia all smiled at this the only one not smiling was Saji.

"Damn it I thought they'd refuse for sure." He whimpered as the group stood up and prepared to leave.

Hope the chapter was good and please leave a review if ya got the time.

See you all in two weeks!
