"Im sorry, Im sorry, Im sorry." Issei chanted despondently as he cried into his hands.

"Shh, shh It will be alright Issei sama. Please tell me what happened." Ravel said as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into her chest.

After a few minutes of sobbing he started speaking brokenly. Narrating everything he had learnt in these past few days, to his actual conversation with Diodera, his brutal slaughter of dioderas peerage, then killing asia to torturing Diodera and finally killing Shalba.

Once he was done Ravel once again pulled him into her bosom tightly hugging him as she said "You didnt do anything wrong Issei sama. You gave into your emotions against people who were already broken and wished for reprieve. I am pretty sure that when death finally took them they would've thanked you. As for torturing Diodera it was nothing wrong, Lucifer sama and beezelbub sama would have done much worse to him had he shown them the same things he showed you and they are just devils. You are both a devil and a dragon your connection to your emotions is larger than normal, so don't blame yourself." She softly finished.

Despite Albions assurances Issei felt light to hear those words coming from the outside. Not only that the arguement was sound and it made him feel calm. Gently removing himself from her embrace he said "Thank you for that Ravel chan, I needed that."

Ravel blushed at the soft look in his eyes and stammered out "I-its n-n-nothing Issei sama."

Now smiling at her slight discomfort he realised that he didnt really give ravel the kind of attention that he gave the other girls and had ignored her for a while. Knowing that she had feelings just as strong as those as the others for him made him feel guilty about not noticing it early. Sighing he decided that it was time to pay Ravel back for everything she had done for him. Including the impromptu therapy session tonight.

"Must you be so formal with Ravel chan? Call be Ise or Ise kun like the others do. Ok?" He asked her with a hint of smile on his face.

Her face reddened automatically and she managed to stutter out a "Hai Ise kun." All the while as she stared at the floor.

Deciding to go the distance he placed a hand on check and softly stroked it before he leaned forward and gave her a soft and unsuspecting chaste kiss on the lips. Breaking away after a few moments he looked over to Ravel and had to stifle a fond chuckle when he saw that her face was stuck in the kissing position with a look of pure bliss etched on it.

Chuckling to himself he went to his room hoping to get a good nights rest. Finding Aine in bed he smiled to himself before going to the washroom to get ready. Soon after he joined Aine in bed and was about to sleep when he felt Aine lightly shaking as she slept. Slight whimpers escaping her mouth as she slept.

Frowning to himself he knew that something must have gone wrong in the battle. Wrapping both of his arms around her he pulled her on to his chest before sleeping. Hoping to give her the comfort she needed. It did help as Aine stopped whimpering and soon nuzzled into him as the fitful nightmares finally left her allowing her to rest without problems.

(The next morning)

The feeling of the sunlight on her face was what Aine woke up to. Despite the worrying news she had heard yesterday she felt relatively light and quiet relaxed. There was however a nagging worry on what she had heard of her brother.

Feeling something warm keeping her in place she smiled to herself knowing exactly what was tying her down. Opening her eyes she found the peacefully sleeping face of Issei. Smiling to herself she slightly leaned up and started kissing him on the lips. After several minutes of her kissing him Issei started kissing her back his eyes still closed as he did so. His grip on her though was tightened as he woke up.

"Good morning beautiful." He said after both of them had broken away his eyes still closed.

"Good morning to you too handsome. When did you get back home yesterday? Sirzechs ni sama did tell me he would send you as soon as you were free but you still did take quiet a bit of time." She asked her tone mildly curious.

Issei sighed Internally and knew that he had little to no chance of getting out without a proper explanation. Not to mention he knew for a fact that her tone was only mild in its sounding. She had all but demanded the answer and he had no choice but to answer. However it didn't mean that he couldn't even the playing field.

"I will of course tell you everything but only if you promise to tell me what exactly is bothering you." Issei said back in an even tone. He was inwardly surprised and quiet worried when Aine basically shrunk back and refused to even look in his direction.

"Aine Darling, whats wrong?" He softly said as he put one hand on her cheek and made her look at him.

Looking at his worried eyes once again warmed her heart and she once again remembered how and why she fell in love with him. Mentally bracing herself she said "Yesterday during the battle me Sirzechs ni sama and Azazel sensei came across another one of the old maous. He was Cureserey Asmodeus, he did go on and on about his plans for world domination and even insulted Sirzechs ni sama.

I obviously took right offense to that and called him a weak puppet to which in change he started spouting off at me. I normally would have ignored him and his insults but he said that both me and my sister were traitors to the house to Lucifer and my brother Euclid is the only salvation for the house of lucifuge as he still loyally serves it. After that Sirzechs killed him and I came back here." She said her voice cracking up near the end.

Issei didnt reply immediately as his mind analysed what he had been told. In some unearthly possibility Euclid Lucifuge the proclaimed dead brother of his beau and appointed older sister was not only alive but was once again in a way standing in the opposite spectrum of things. Mentally growling at the man he turned to Aine who had a hollow look on her face.

It was a look that Issei recognised quiet well it was him after all who had tirelessly worked and succeeded in getting that look out and away from Aines face. Sitting up, causing Aine to squeal in surprise, he tightened his arms and bought her into a hug.

"I don't know what to say to this Aine chan, this news is easily life altering. What I can promise you is that I will be with you all along the way. What ever life brings I will face it with you. So don't worry, your dragon will divide all your worries for you, just Like I promised." He softly said bringing a bit of humor into the situation. His words did have the desired effect as Aine gave out a sound that could be called a mixture between a snort and a sob.

"Look what you did, you made me sound like a pig." She said with a chuckle.

"Non sense, you sounded like a fairy with magical voice capable of controlling the listeners." He exclaimed joyously. His line caused both the teenagers to laugh uproariously after which they settled down in comfortable silence. The resting position itself having been adjusted, with Issei leaning on the board of the bed while Aine was pressed up on his side.

"So what were you going to tell me before you so Oh masterfully managed to get me to not only spill my guts on what was bothering me but also made me feel infinitely better hmm?" She asked once again.

"My night didn't go as easy as some of my normal deployments go. Before I tell you what happened last night I should first give you a little extended history lesson." He said before he paused waiting to see if she had a question in her mind, when nothing came up to the forefront he continued and said

"A few weeks after I became a devil, I one day came across a girl who had been exhumated from the church. A truely kind and naive soul. She had the heart of someone who would help you regardless of your specie age or crime. She had been manipulated into joining the group of fallen that originally killed me. She even saved my life from a crazy exorcist and even took a slight beating from said exorcist to buy me some time to escape. Her name was Asia Argento." Issei said pausing once again with a slight look of reminiscence on his face.

"She had a powerful sacred gear twilight healing and it was the reason why she was killed by the fallen. They wanted to extract the gear and killed her upon their successful extraction. It was during that battle that I first unlocked my gear. Ironically it was the Raynare the fallen angel who had killed me in the beginning and had taken Asias gear for herself, who opened my eyes to everything Rias had done. In a fit of rage I ensured that Asia wouldn't be further used and let her stay dead making Rias reincarnate Raynare instead.

Here is where things turn a bit murky, do you remember a couple of weeks ago when you asked me about why I was feeling fidgety.?" He asked and upon seeing her nod continued and said

"It turns out we discovered that their was a spy amongst the devil nobility. The spy was Diodera Astaroth. You may be wondering how I know that, well that bastard completed his peerage almost 7 months back with his final piece being Asia." Issei said as he dropped the bomb making Aine gasp.

"And given the timing of the reincarnation and the fact that he kept it a secret meant that he knew exactly where she was buried." Aine said with horror.

"Exactly a bit of investigation from both Sirzechs and Azazel told us that he had been targeting green eyed blond nuns for quiet a while and Asia was his so called biggest prize. He orchestrated her getting kicked out of the church and then reincarnated her. I was angry enough due to this alone but that bastard had the gall to rape her in front of me when I went to face him. I am ashamed of what I did next, I let my emotions get the better of me and sealed them off for a while.

I then proceeded to kill the whole lot of his peerage in the most painful ways imaginable, and I didn't feel a thing as I did so. I even killed Asia this time for sure, as not even her soul essence remains. After that I tortured Diodera before he was killed by Shalba beezelbub. I fought him and then killed him. After that I met Vali again and then came here.

The emotions I locked up all hit me at once and I couldn't understand what to do and felt dirty and disgusted with myself. Ravel chan found me in this state and we talked, she really helped me put things into perspective for me and I felt a lot better before going to bed last night. And that is the entirity of what happened with me." Issei said with a breath as he finished his tale.

"Ravel chan helped you kuh? You really should spend more time with her and take more care of her. Despite her being here for almost as long as me you don't spend much time with her as much as you do with me Jeanne chan and Rossweisse chan." Aine finished in a scolding manner.

"Well I do heartily apologise to you for my unknown ignorance and I also apologise to you personally for cutting your fun down, since I already made a move on Ravel last night." Issei said with an innocent expression on his face, his eyes however displaying the mirth he felt at the moment.

"Mou, how could you Issei kun, you know getting your clueless ass with girls who genuinely like you is my favourite past time, so how could you go ahead and already claim the pure and innocent Ravel chan and completely mess up my whole plan that I had in place for the two of you to get together." Aine said as she mock pouted at him.

"I'm sure you will find it in your heart to forgive my atrocious mistake." Issei said with a chuckle as he planted a chaste kiss on Aines lips before he stood up and made way to the bathroom keen on getting ready for the day.

Aine pouted back at him as he left but smiled non the less leaving the room to get ready for her day as well. Soon we find the rest of the peerage along with Ambriel sitting down on a table about to start having breakfast. As Issei entered the room he immediately greeted all the girls except Ambriel with deep kisses while Seigfried and bova got their respective fist bumps.

He did share a friendly handshake and hug with Ambriel but nothing more as he respected her space. As everyone ate and made small talk Seigfried cleared his throat and said "Umm Issei I need to ask you for a favor."

"What Kind of favor Seig?" Issei asked curiously.

"A couple of my old contacts called me last night, they need a hand to deal with a personal grudge against their families, and I want to go and help them." Seigfried said strongly.

" I see, so when are your friends expecting the two of us?" Issei asked casually as if talking about the weather.

"What do you mean us?" Seigfried asked disbelieving.

"Exactly as it sounds, I won't let you run into a potential warzone on your own without any back up as strong as me. So you can be assured that I will accompany you." Issei replied casually making Seigfried nod with a sigh.

"So who are these friends of yours who need your help?" Issei asked curiously.

"Heh, you'll probably won't know about them, but they are Tojou Basra and Itachi Uchiha and you are right the situation we are about to drop in on is a veritable shit storm." Seigfried said imperiously.
