Okay disclaimer, this is the beginning of a two part arc for my favorite DxD girl. If it's not obvious by now, it's Asia. And don't say "Why is she your favorite, she ruins everything" zip in horndogs, she's precious. Yes, her timing may suck, but she never intended to interrupt. This begins the Asia arc. Happy Birthday Asia!
The Game
Asia P.O.V
My name is Asia Argento Hyoudou. I recently married the man that I have loved since the day I met him. He protected me from that monster Freed. He helped bring me back to life. He gave me a place to call home when I was alone. Whenever I felt down and insecure, he was always there to pick me up again. He's saved me countless times. Come to think of it, anyone that has ever hurt me is dead. Raynare was killed by Rias, Freed was killed by Kiba from what Issei told me, Diadora was killed by Shalba Beelzebub who was killed by Issei, or so I think. Valdos is alive though, even if he technically killed me. That was a bad day for him.
But that's enough of the past. The future holds a much more exciting story. I am currently 4 months pregnant with Issei's fourth child. I'm also enrolled in Kuoh University with all the other girls, but I took the year off to focus on my little bundle of joy. I can see the other girls get a little jealous because of how much time Issei spends with me. He always makes time to see me and just be around me. Even today, he said that we're going out to get more baby things. I can't wait!
Normal P.O.V
Issei was smoothly driving through the narrow streets with Asia in the passenger seat. Most women, when 4 months pregnant, don't really want to go anywhere, but Asia was always willing to go with him. The mighty V12 roared as they rolled up to Issei's exotic car dealer. Instead of going to college like the girls and Kiba did, Issei took advantage of Sirzechs' offer to manage the dealership.
He gently pulled the Aston into the rear that had a single garage door that opened straight into his office. After the car stopped, Issei ran to the other side and helped his pregnant wife out the car.
"Here, sit on the couch for a moment and I'll go get it." With that, he was gone.
What was "it" You may ask? Well, Asia's birthday present of course. Today was May 11th and Issei was determined to keep her smiling. Asia sat on the Italian leather sofa in his office and read a story on her phone. It wasn't much but it kept her attention off of her ever growing middle.
Recently, Asia had become infatuated with the 'Star Wars' universe. She spent some of her free time reading the books as well as fanfictions that people would write to wrap up loose ends. Her favorite was called, 'The Mandalorian and her Jedi.' It reminded her of how she came to love Issei. (Shameless plug? Yea I did it.)
Before long, the Red Dragon returned with a little black box in his hand. "Here you are birthday girl."
Asia opened the box and to her surprise, she found a note. She pulled it out and read it.
"Today, you will go on a scavenger hunt along all the places in Kuoh that we have been. Each site will lead you closer to your goal. I will drive you to wherever we need to go. Love you, Issei.
First clue. Much of our time was spent here. With friends, family, those we hold dear. Many lessons you learned in this place, even helped give one friend a new face. Good luck!"
The ex nun stared at the page and read it again. 'Where did I give a friend a new face?' She thought to herself. After a moment, she asked Issei. "Where did I give a friend a new face?"
"Don't just focus on one part. It's all a clue. Use it all." Were his instructions as he stepped over to the passenger side of his car and waited.
"It's all a clue." Asia repeated to herself. "Lessons learned…" It came to her then. "The club house?"
"Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner. Right this way, Mrs. Hyoudou, your chariot awaits.
The couple soon arrived at the old school house and entered. Since they had all graduated, the place wasn't used for much. They planned to restart the club once the kids became old enough. Asia ventured inside and made her way to the main room with Issei behind her. Sure enough, another black box sat on Rias' desk. Even thought the desk had been passed down to Issei when he was president, they still referred to it as 'Rias' desk'.
She picked it up and read the note.
"Congratulations Asia! You've found the second clue. Allow me to help you know what to do. To find the next note, could be quite a feat. Go back in time, to when we first meet."
Asia turned to find Issei standing next to the door. "This one any easier?"
"You know, you goof. You wrote them. We need to go to the park." Issei held her hand and they exited to the car and off to the park.
Once there, Issei had to send a quick text to a certain red head that was waiting. Rias had taken Ellie to the playground that was near the park. Ellie had the next clue.
Asia made her way over to Rias once she saw her. "Hey Rias."
"Hello Asia. What are you doing here?" Rias smiled back.
"Issei is taking me on a birthday scavenger hunt. The next clue is here." She started to look around and noticed that Ellie was sitting on the merry-go-round holding a little black box.
Elizabeth saw her aunt and waved. "Aunt Asi!" The two year old ran the little box over to her aunt and handed it to her. "Here go." Even thought Ellie had gotten better with her speech, she would still revert to old habits when talking.
"Thank you Ellie." Asia read the next note.
"So you found note three, that shouldn't be hard. Since it was given to Ellie. Your next clue is hard, so you have to think. One may even say that they need a cool drink. A nun to a devil, how about that? Truly a sight, and that's a fact. Your husband worked hard on this, good on him. Almost as hard as when he taught you to swim. Certain royalty, had a great bout. But when it was over, no one won out. Years have past since that strange day, no one recalls what the fight was per se."
Rias giggled as a smile lit up Asia's face. Obviously, she had the answer faster than he anticipated. Issei just chuckled as both of his wives seemed to be enjoying this little game. "So Asia, where to next?"
"The pool!"
Ellie heard where it was that they were off to. "Mama, can we go too?"
"Sure baby, let me get our bag." Rias had already packed swim clothes for the pool since it was obvious that they were going to end up there.
Issei and Asia led in the Aston and Rias followed behind with Ellie. The two cars soon pulled up to see another one of their fleet parked up at the pool. A bright blue BMW M5 sedan sat smartly in the parking lot outside the pool.
Asia worked her way out of the low sports car with Issei's help and wobbly stood up. She opened the gate and found Kuroka, Koneko, Ewan, Akeno, and Shuri all playing in the pool. Of course, Akeno and Shuri were only floating around since Shuri was still a baby, but the Nekomatas were playing in the shallow end. Little Ewan was wearing floaties around his arms to keep him up as Koneko pushed him around.
This reminded the former sister of what she had to look forward to as a mother. She could see herself and Issei playing with their child and having so much fun. Asia would teach them all about God and Christianity if Michael would let her, and she would show them how to garden and read. All the ideas were distracting her from her mission. She needed to find the next box.
Strangely enough, a white box designed like the black ones sat on a chair. She opened it to find another note.
"Good job you got to the pool. Since notes don't work well in water I had to make do. Think back to that day were swimming was taught, a certain knight tried to take something, although it was all for not."
The wheels turned in Asia's head. She remembered Akeno and Rias fighting, she remembered Kiba swimming laps, she thought of Koneko sitting on the side not knowing how to swim. One was missing. Xenovia. Only then did she realized what the clue meant. Xenovia was after Issei's seed and tried to take him into the supply room to seduce him. The next clue was in there.
Asia walked around the large pool and of course said 'hi' to everyone she came to. Issei was right behind her and also greeted his family. Shuri reached up with her little arms. He knew that she wanted to be held.
"Come on, Shuri. Let's go see where Aunt Asia is going." Akeno handed the little fallen angel to her husband and continued to float lazily around the pool. Issei and Shuri soon caught up to Asia who was looking around in the supply room.
Asia kept missing the obvious since she was so anxious. Once Issei turned the lights on, she found it sitting on the shelf. "Oh, thank you Issei." She opened the black box and pulled out another note.
"So you found the note at the pool, take a minute, keep cool. Relax with the other girls, and Ewan too. Take some time for our baby and you."
"Issei, what does this one mean? It's not a clue."
"That is just telling you not to push yourself. I had Rias bring us clothes in her bag. Feel free to enjoy the cool water Asia. I'm gonna go take this cranky fallen angel back to her mother." Issei chuckled as Shuri squirmed in his hold. Asia took his advice and joined Rias and Ellie in getting changed.
Rias saw Asia walk into the changing room. "Here you go, Asia. I brought your yellow two piece." She pulled the bikini out of her bag and brought it to her. "Before you ask, yes I knew what the note said. I can also say that you'll love the surprise at the end." She hugged the younger girl that was now technically her sister wife or whatever you want to call it.
Asia changed into the bathing suit and exited the changing room. She noticed that Issei had already changed and was pushing all of his children around on a float. Ellie and Ewan were giggling at their father and Shuri just laid in the middle. "One day, you're gonna be a part of that, Anastasia." She spoke softly.
One last thing before i go for the weekend. If you guys wanna shoot me ideas for this, go for it I don't mind. But, if what you send me gets rejected, don't get overly pissed cause I said no. Had a guy do it yesterday. So, please, if I say no, that's the end of it.
