Author's Note: Sorry this took a while, but my other fic is a giant imaginary sinkhole that sucked the life out of me. I'm currently resting from it and updating this and 0 for now.

-DRAGON AND FAMILIAR-

*Tewiiiiin~!*

"So all we need to do is talk with the heavenly faction." Sanae said while nodding, and Reisen nodded as well. Truth be told I was kinda nervous. From the info we got from the Devils and the Fallen Angels (mostly Azazel-san) is that the Angels came in full force. And when I say full force... well They're practically preparing for war and they're technically looking for me!

Not a very good feeling.

"Feeling nervous Issei?" Reisen asked me with a mischievous smile. Knowing her, she probably has picked up on my anxiety.

"Well yeah." I shook my head and began scratching it as well. "I mean they're supposed to be that good guys and all, but I can't help but feel nervous considering what kind of firepower they brought."

"And they're looking for you." Reisen shook her head. "You shouldn't be surprised Issei. From what I heard, the version of Master Spark that Marisa's master had is four times more powerful than hers. Imagine what kind of havoc that kind of power would make. Heck the light show was bad enough."

I couldn't help but slump at her words. Truthfully, this whole situation wouldn't have happened if I was careful. Or if I reigned in the Mima gacha like I should have done.

"Well fretting about it will do no good." Sanae shook her head. "Still... I wonder how difficult is it to find an agent of heaven?" All three of us stood there at that statement. After all following Azazel-san's advice is the best option we can take as he did point out how stupid it was to barge into their base... well temporary base no matter how... well nice they are and stuff.

"Seriously. How are we gonna do this?" I asked, and by the faces my two companions were making they had no idea either. The only thing this would get resolved now is by-

"Excuse me?" Eh? I turn and see a cute brown haired girl and another pretty blue haired girl wearing... white cloaks I guess. What is this? Halloween? Though this brown haired twin tailed girl looks familiar... and why is her eyes sparkling as she's looking at me? Wait? Is this a chance meeting? "Are you Hyoudou, Issei?" Ah... great. i think I got trauma cause those words right now sent shivers to my spine.

"I am." Still I answered and rewarded with a very large smile and more sparkly eyes... What the heck?!

"It is you!" She shouted and embraced me very tight-... Oooohhhh! This is so nice! Wow this girl is stacked!

""Ehem."" Ah... Urk...

"Errr... While this is nice and all but..." She let go. "Who are you?" I asked and she frowned.

"You don't remember?" The sadness she radiated was so pitiful it practically made me want to hug her again... And not because I wanted to feel her bountiful melons... "It's me Irina!"

Irina? Irina?... it rings a bell but... wait a minute!

"Irina? As in Shidou, Irina my friend back then?!" I spluttered in disbelief. Why not? After all, the boyish girl I grew with and parted was now a lovely lady. "I can't believe it! I mean you look so different from back when we were kids!"

"Isn't it?" She asked smiling while twirling about.

"""Ehem.""" Ahahaha... Looks like the three other people here with us are getting impatient.

"Errr... Sorry guys." I scratched my head as I apologized.

"This is a touching reunion, but seriously Issei." Reisen shook her head. She's probably exparated by my antics and such. "But we would like introductions."

"Ah... Sorry..." I turned to Irina who also bowed in apology. "But this is Shidou, Irina a childhood friend of mine. Irina, these are my friends Kotiya, Sanae and Reisen Udongein Inaba."

"Nice to meet you. The names Irina! And like Issei said, I'm a childhood friend of his that just returned yesterday." She bowed and then motioned her friend forward. "This is my partner Xenovia." The blue haired girl nodded and said nothing, but her sharp eyes clearly said that she didn't want to be there and that what I and Irina did was a waste of time. Wow, she's rather anti-social.

"In any case Irina, what occasion is it for you to return to your homeland after all these years?" I asked my childhood friend who moved to... Italy I believe... or was it Rome? Wait isn't Rome in Italy? Urrr... I should pay attention more to my lessons... though I don't think that was taught... was it?

"Well something weird happened and me, Xenovia and several other church members were sent to check it out." She told us... and essentially tipped us off. In fact Reisen had her hand on her forehead smiling wryly while shaking her head. Sanae just giggled at the whole thing.

I must admit, Tewi must have given us some boosted luck for this to happen! Well whether that mischievous rabbit did or not, it would be best if I give her some sweets the next time I visit Eientei.

"Ummm... whatever the case we should take this conversation somewhere else." I advise and backed up by both my companions.

"Good." The blue haired Xenovia interjected. "Because you were making a scene some time ago." She pointed out, causing both me and Irina to blush.

*Tewiiiiin~!*

Thanks to Xenovia pointing out what should be obvious; our move to another place was fast. It didn't help that both Reisen and Sanae had these shit eating grins as they stared and me and my childhood friend. Irina seems happy enough... though I don't remember her having a crush on me. We were best buds sure... But I guess Irina was very boyish back then for me to notice I guess.

We headed for a nearby family restaurant, just in time cause I know we'll miss dinner... that and Irina and Xenovia haven't ate as expressed by blue haired girl's loudly rumbling stomach, much to her embarrassment. It seems her effort to look cool was wasted by that one action.

Once we got there, I found that Irina asked a slew of questions that I could not help but notice. Like if I was doing well in school, was I good in sports, if I had a girlfriend and if I was still perverted...

Yeah... she definitely has a thing for me... I now feel really lucky.

Now if we could only straighten out this mess without anyone else getting harmed. or most likely, me.

"So... what's the weird thing you're here to find?" I then shook my head. "No... honestly why are sent to find that weird thing... last I heard from you back when we were kids that you were going to be a nun and such..." It's kinda weird that I remember that... but then again I believe I teased her enough to get punched real hard, now that I remember it. Now that I remember that... Ugh... to remember that I was never that bright in the first place... how sad and frustrating!

... By the way... I also remember her retort being that she'll grow up into a very pretty and 'bouncy' girl that I'll have no choice but to like her...

Wow... she really did it.

"Well that's true..." It seems like Irina don't know how to get out of this one.

"That's correct... rather it's just someone from the Vatican was interested in this incident." Well at least Xenovia did a good job covering that up. Unfortunately... "Though it's odd for anyone not remembering much."

"Well at least people admitted to seeing a bright light. But that's it." Urrrr... looks like whoever was doing the brain flushing missed a person or two... Is this going to be a problem? "So... basically that's what we're looking for I guess." Well Irina... I wonder what you'll guys do if you found out that you found the thing you're looking for.

"What will you do if you found the cause of it?" Sanae beating me to the punch. That and I admit to be afraid of the answer.

"Well we'll take it to our superiors." Irina clarified... and honestly that makes me feel better.

"And if it's hostile. We get rid of it." Ahahaha. You're not even sure what it even is and you say that. But that sparkle in her eye when she said it makes me uncomfortable and hesitant. Also they're not being too careful... that and they're probably mind wipe us too I guess...

"Well Issei?" Oh! Come on Reisen! Didn't she just admit to cut me into pieces!?

*Tewiiiiin~!*

After that I guess we made a scene. I don't remember much but I believe it involved the police, me getting two lumps on the head, lots of shouting, and the whole lot of us getting severely reprimanded by the responding police and the restaurant owner/manager. We got forgiven thankfully enough, and everything was blamed on Xenovia being a foreigner. That and I think Reisen did something to them... and me I guess since I can't remember what happened.

Though that maybe because something embarrassing happened considering the blushing faces of my four female companions... and Reisen refusing to look at me. I wonder what could have happened? Still now we were at penthouse of the hotel the Heavenly Faction made as their base of operations.

"I'm quite glad to see the root of this incident make amends without being prompt by any other outside force." The handsome man who I assumed was the Archangel Micheal told us. Though that should be obvious by the way he looked. "I honestly thought that we had no other choice but to commit such aggression to lure you out that would worsen the situation... It would have led to war, so I thank you for coming out."

I... well not just me but it seems the whole lot there, from us to the assorted nuns and priests could not help but stare at Micheal with disbelief. And I believe the hot lady Archangel who I believe is Gabriel is giving him a very scary smile there.

I think it only took a moment for the poor guy to realize what kind of hole he dug for himself and immediately corrected himself.

"I assure you though that action is a last resort." He shook his head. "As much as it pains me to restart the Great War by such an action, I fear that power you showed is terrible enough to warrant-" it seems the poor dude didn't learn his lesson and spouted something unbelievable again. And this time, that smile and aura Gabriel-san is emanating is clearly not the happy holy kind. "E-hem... in any case I'm glad you are here to talk to us young man. And considering what you weild, I'm happy you made this action."

All three of us in the know turned to each other. And both girls nodded at me.

"Err... Micheal-san if you were referring to my Sacred Gear and such..." Again I was scratching my head. I mean how do I explain my turning my Touhou Gachas/Figures into familiars thing when I don't completely understand it. Heck I even get help from the likes of Alice and Patche and we still don't get it. Still me, Reisen and Sanae explained what was going on and what we have done for the past few hours. Admittedly we left some things out, like mostly about Gensokyo but we did say that we had talked to the other two factions.

This time I saw a genuine smile from the female Archangel.

"I'm glad." Micheal-san as well it seems. "With this information the worst situation is averted. However I don't think we should let you have free reign any more young man despite you already have back up." The man said with a smile. "Though I'm sure now that we've informed, something like that would come up with our talks with our fellow Biblical factions."

"You mean?!" He nods to my question.

"Don't worry. Nothing will happen anymore." Yeeeesssssss! Though I can't believe it would be this easy. Then again these guys are supposed to be the nice ones! With the Heavenly Faction loosening up, I'm sure the other two will follow suite. "I'll send a messenger about you people and a request for a peaceful meeting. Considering nobody wants trouble I do not doubt that they'll disagree... though..."

"Though what?" Both I and Reisen nodded at Sanae's question. Cause it sounds like brewing trouble.

"Well there's this idiot trying to make trouble by spreading malicious gossip. But by the way it was said and spread, it is clear that it is an idiot." The man sighed. "Don't worry though, I doubt that would affect any negotiation made."

It made me a little worried, but considering he knows more about the situation asking would do nothing but plant needless worry. Still that marked the end of the talks and we were free to head home. Irina looked sad about it though, but I promise to meet up with her when this incident is resolved and if she hasn't gone home yet. I think Gabriel-san gave her permission too...

I'll be looking forward to it as well.

*Tewiiiiin~!*

And now that was done the three of us with great cheer headed home to my apartment and eventually Gensokyo. It was a long way, but I can now see the end of this incident-

"Eh?" It was my phone. Somebody sent me a message.

"What is it Issei?" Sanae asked ever curious.

"It's Yukari-san. She said that they sent us extra reinforcements and that you two should stay in my apartment tonight." I told them. Sanae and Reisen looked troubled at that.

"Reinforcements?" Ah it looks like the talk about getting reinforcement is the one bothering them... at least Reisen did since she was the one who speak up. "While I do not mind either and more back up is nice but why now?"

Good question pretty bunny lady, I have no answer.

"Let's get to Issei's apartment and see." It was honestly the only thing to do. And such we made haste for my apartment.

*Tewiiiiin~!*

When we got there all three of us froze when we saw the three girls who would be our back up. In fact all three of us shivered. I mean the proud stance, the stupid smile, the puffed up chest and one of the three looking very worried, the other really smug and the last have no idea why she was there but emulated the smaller girl with her...

Kami that old hag of a troll sent poor Dai-chan with Nineball and Sixball! Kami I'm really worried now! What the hell is that woman thinking!?

*Tewiiiiin~!*
