I do not own High School DXD. I'll explain more about the Barrier later.
I do know that my grammar sucks. Up dates will be about every blue moon.
Chapter 3
Kuroka paced uneasily as Yasaka cleaned her face off. Kunou stood by the door as she waved good by to her friends. Murayama and Katase stood quietly trying to figure out what they missed before looking at each other and shrugged.
"Where's Issei?" Katase asked as she took a seat.
"He took off some where." Yasaka said as she tried to get blue frosting out of her noise.
"Is that frosting in your hair?" Murayama asked as she stared at Yasaka. "Whys Kuroka pacing like that?"
"Yes! And before you asked, your king did that." Yasaka started cheeking her hair for more frosting. "Not really sure why she started pacing like that, all I got out of her, is something about a barrier flaring up."
"Barrier?" Both knights looked at each other before flying over to Kuroka. Both stared talking at the same time.
"What happen?"
"Are Issei parents all right?"
"Has Issei gown back to look?"
"Was it that black pigeon, or Devils?"
"What happen?"
Looking irritated Kuroka eyed the two knights, as she complicated hitting them. "Shut up dammit. Nya. All I know is someone or something tried to force their way in, but not why, or how many. Issei parents are fine, and Issei is still in the city. He probably knows all ready. So sit down and wait dammit. Nya."
Kuroka took a step back as everyone looked at her. "What? Nya."
"I think that's the longest I've ever seen you go with out saying Nya." Kunou stared at her. "I've know you all my life, and never seen you go more than two sentences with out saying Nya."
"Yeah." Murayama and Katase agreed with Kunou as Yasaka just smiled.
"I'm perfectly capably of speaking with out say Nya. Nya." Two of Kuroka veins where throbbing as she look at the three. Crossing her arms, she started tapping as the three looked at her sceptically. "I can. Nya"
"Let's get back to the barrier, before you make her mad, you three." Yasaka eyed the two knights and her daughter as they tried not to looked at her. "according to Kuroka, the barrier flared up, Issei parents are fine and she doesn't know why. That means you need to wait for your king to give you an order to act. Right?"
"Yes." Issei peerage said as Kunou looked between them and her mother, before speaking. "But shouldn't we do something? They could be in danger. Or worst they could have..."
"The barrier is intact, and no one got through. Nya."
"But.."
"If the barrier is intact and his parents are fine, then we wait." Katase said as Murayama nodded her head.
Kunou looked between the three before turning to looked at her mother, only to sigh in defeat. "Fine. I still say we should at least go look."
"No." They all yelled.

Same time in Kyoto Red Lights District
Issei moved quietly through the crowd, as he eyed groups of delinquents hanging around one corner or another. At one point some girl in a bunny outfit tried to get him to enter their establishment, only to fail. He had to admit that she had a nice set of racks on her. After walking for twenty minutes, he turned down an alleyway and walked, making several turns, until he arrived at a dead end. On the left side was a stairwell which lead down to a door with a red sign that read Dancing Fox Maiden. Above the words in flashing lights a girl with a fox tail and ears looked like she was dancing. Leaning against the wall stood a guard.
The guard stood strait as he turned to block Issei. Issei raised an eyebrow in amusement as the guard flexed his muscles, that were thick as tree trunks, in an intimidating way. This guy looked like he bench pressed dump trucks every morning. A Mohawk ran down his head, only to turn in to a braid that ran down to his waist. "Get lost kid. This place isn't for someone barely old enough to be off there mother's tits."
"I prefer the ones on the girls inside captain."
"Unfortunately for you, they prefer if you didn't." The guard laughed as he walked forwards to rest his right hand on Issei left shoulder, before pulling him in close and putting an arm around his shoulders. "So, when did you get into town?"
"About three or four hours ago."
" Yasaka!?"
" Yasaka!"
Both laugh as they headed toured the entrance. "Yasaka is a fine woman. It's a shame she hasn't taken a man for several years." The guard said as he lead Issei down the stairs.
"It's only been five months."
"You didn't?"
"It wasn't me."
"Good."
"What does that mean."
"It means I don't need to kill you."
"Funny." Issei muttered as he eyed the guard, before saying good bye, and walked in. The place was filled with various youkai sitting at the tables and bar. Several female youkai in scantily clothes walked around with trays, refiling drinks, or taking orders. A youkai female with red skin and a horn coming out of her forehead was pole dancing on stage.
Walking over to the bar, Issei scanned the waitress walking around before turning to looked at one of the the bartenders. One of the bartenders was further down serving a guest, the other was cleaning a glass. "Is Elizabeth Agares in?"
"Who?"
Letting a grown out, Issei pulled out a wad of cash, and place several large bills down. "A red Marie, hold the blood."
"We don't serve a red Marie." The bartender said as he grabbed Issei cash.
"Then I'll take a Whiskey with black rocks."
"Hear you are sir." The bartender pushed Issei drink to him, before going back to cleaning his glass. Issei downed his drink before picking up his napkin and headed to he back of the club.
Two guards stood on ether side of a door marked "Employees Only". Both moved as to block his path, only to stop as he flashed the napkin in front of them. "Hear you go sir." One said as he opened the door. He quickly moved down a hallway filled with doors, before arriving at a staircases going up. At the top was a door marked "Off Limit's" in bold letters. Under neath it read "That means you asshole".A smile tugged at the corner of Issei mouth, before he knocked.
"Who is it?" A female voice asked on the other side.
"The birds fly east to flee the dragon. And the fallen fly up to the heavens." Issei said as he tapped his foot.
"Come in," the voice said.
Issei entered, to see three woman seated on two couches. The one sitting beside herself had long blond hair that reached to her waist, blue eyes, and rose red lips. A pair of white bird wings with patches of gray were on her back. She wore a low cut black dress that hugged her figure. Sitting on the other couch, sat two women, one had black bird wings on her back, long black hair, purplish eyes, and wore a black low cut dress. The other had a pair of bat wings, short brown hair that came to her shoulders, violet eyes and wore a white low cut dress, that exposed her stomach.
All three eyed Issei before the devil pointed to a chair across from her. "I see you got our message."
"You said you had a job for me, as well as manged to find one of the stones I asked about last time I was here."
"Drink?" Asked the angle, as she stood up.
"Yes please." Issei said as he continued to stare at the devil. "What's the job, and whose the client?"
"The client is Michael and the..."
"What." Issei yelled as he stood up, knocking the drink that the angle was about to hand him. "You know I don't see eye to eye with the heaven side, especially after what happen to Kuroka and me in France."
"Look. I know you have some issues, but..." The devil started only to be interrupted by Issei
"Issues. That's understatement, and you know it Elizabeth Agares." Issei was waving his arms in the air, before he pointed at Elizabeth. "They tried to kill me five time a day for two weeks."
"Fortunately this isn't about what happen between you and the church." The fallen angle said as she examined her nails. "Someone broke into one of their churches and stole a holy sword. Michael actually walked into this place looking for Alvina. Just so he could get her to contact you and see if you would take the job."
"Why me?"
"He didn't want to send agents of the church into a devil strong hold." Alvina said as her white wings flickered from white to gray, back to white. She only did that when she felt nerves or afraid. Issei figured she was afraid of something, but didn't need to wait long to find out as Elizabeth started speaking again.
"It would seem that some exiled priest stole a holy sword killed seventeen people and escaped. Michael is asking you to find the priest and kill him, retrieve the sword, and in return, heaven will give you one of the stones you been looking for, after you deliver the sword."
Issei sat back down in his chair as he pondered the job for several minuets before looking at Alvina. "Did he say why he wanted me to do it?"
"No."
"I see."
"He does want to apologize to you for the hole France thing." She said before she took a nerves sip from her drink, while her wings flickered. "You know he came here, to see me when I started working here, after leaving heaven?"
"I think you mentioned something about it, when I asked you, why you were working here." Issei stared racking his brains as he tried to recall the exacted reason that Alvina left heaven. "I know you left to do something about the holy sword project and its test subjects."
"Test subjects!" Alvina said angrily, "those were human-beings, and that pig did such despicable things to them. What did they do? They through him out. He should have been crucified."
"Your right." All three of them said, as they watched her wings turn white to black, back to white, repeat.

One hours later. Issei POV
I let a sigh out as I walked slowly back to the shrine. This job smelled like trouble, and the more I brood about it, the worst the bad feeling got. Michael had provided plenty of information about the job. Freed Sellzen, now there was a man that screamed nut job. Know matter how I looked at, ether Kuroka or me would have to deal with that nut job of a priest. But the real problem would be that damn sword. Why the hell would he steal a damn sword that could kill dragons. What the hell did he need it for?
Letting another sigh out, I could sense the shrine guards giving me funny looks as I walked up the steps. Before I could continue my brooding as I walked through the door, a small warm golden object slammed into my lower body, sending both us, both back down the stairs.
"Ow." Kunou cried as she clutched her head.
"Why did you tackle me?" I cried as the cold sidewalk press agents my back. Kunou was sitting on my waist, both eye closed as she tried not to cries.
"You smell like that place." Kunou said as she put her hands on her hips and glared at me, completely ignoring my first question. All a sudden she tilted her head like she was confused about something. "Where did you get that scare on your chest? Wheres your shirt for that matter?"
"What?" I looked down to see both my jacket and shirt where gone. Looking around, I could see what few people that were still out, were giving me funny looks. I'm shore we looked like a site. If it wasn't for Kunou age and size, it would look like the anger wife was scolding her husband for cheating on her. He soon spotted his shirt, jacket and his "left shoe?" on the steps. Somehow they came off in the process of falling down the stairs. 'What the hell.'
"Please move." I asked Kunou as I sat up. My right hand went to my left shoulder, before I started running it a long the scar that ran from my left shoulder, down to my right hip. "I know I told you the story about how me and Kuroka met."
"No you haven't." Kunou said as she brushed dirt of her clothes.
"Yes I have."
"No you haven't."
"Yes I have." I said as each word came out louder.
"All you said was that you met Kuroka as she was being chase by some people, that you didn't know were devils." Kunou place her hands back on her hips as she glared at me. "In the process of trying to help her, you all most died, due to an injury you got. You said Great Red appear and used his power to heal, and you and Kuroka walked into the sunlight with a smile on your face."
"See. I told you the story. This scar is the results of that mess."
"That's not a story." Kunou was slamming her fist on his chest. "That's just you trying to brush something off as being nothing."
"It was nothing big."
"So being cut in half, beading to death and floating in the Dimensional Gap, is nothing big. Nya." An angry Kuroka said as she walked down the steps. Behind her Yasaka, Murayama and Katase fallowed. Both Murayama and Katase looked interested in the story, never really learning how Kuroka and I met each other. "You do a half ass summon of your Boosted Gear. Your body was cut in two, we were blasted into the Dimensional Gap, why I'll your lower half was completely distorted in the blast. Nya. We almost turned into nothing. And you call that nothing big. Nya. If it wasn't for the fact that Great Red was not passing by, we wouldn't be here. Nya."
"What happened?" Kunou, Murayama and Katase all asked.
"What happened is that Idiot, challenged Great Red to a fight. Nya. Great Red all most died of laughter. He healed Issei and then kick us out of the Dimensional Gap. Nya. That over grown lizard turn himself into a human, opened a portal back home, and proceeded to kick us out with his foot. Nya."
"See. She gave a lot more information, then you." Kunou pointed to Kuroka as she glared at me. "How could you not tell me you were cut in half, or almost died."
"That's enough out of you Kunou." Yasaka said as she looked at her daughter. "It's late and we all should get some sleep soon."
"Yes ma." We all said
"We have a job, when we get back home." I said as I started walking back up the stairs.
"Wait. What job?" Murayama asked
"Is that why you saw those three?" Katase asked as she glanced at Murayama.
"We'll talk about it in the morning." I said as I walked past them.
{~~~~~}{~~~~~}{~~~~~}
Freed took a deep breath as he walked off the train. "Ah! The smell of sinful monsters and heretics. How I'll gladly bring righteous judgment down on you." He yelled with his arms spread out wide.
Looking around, he saw people were looking at him like what the fuck. A security guard was talking into his radio as he watched Freed.
"Wait for me Asia Argento! For I have come to punished the sinful, grind the heretics and kill the monsters. For tonight a hole fire has come to light this land, Amen."
