Sup guys? Welcome to chapter 12 of my story. If you read the author notes in the previous chapter, then you guys know as to why it took a small while to update. For those who don't read the author notes (A very big mistake from their part), then I'll tell you know, art projects, tests and just stress. Let's answer to some reviews, shall we?

GUIDix: Thank you.

NinjaFang1331: Thank you.

Xerozzuro: Glad to see that you're enjoying the chapters. Don't worry, I know what you're vote is. You don't need to remind me about it. And even if you wanted to change your vote, I wouldn't let that happen, because like I said, your vote is only one and only, no change at all.

Patriota1993: Here's the next chapter! Though it was quite late.

Guest: I'm not saying that he's going to run away. Though you'll see what's going to happen when the fight against Kokabiel ends.

Guest: Thank you!

Coolsiddhusmailbox: Thank you! And you're welcome!

: Already voted man. Can't vote twice and you can't change your vote.

Elmoryakhan: Thank you and thank you for your vote!

Lightningblade49: Again, you're grammar is in need of some work. I can hardly understand what you're trying to type.

DeadlyXDevil: Glad to see that you find this story better than the others! I know what you mean and I could do it. But I want Issei to stay like this. I want him to stay suicidal until the end of the story.

1337Pwny: Thank you! Happy belated birthday to you as well! Yep, the harem is slowly growing. Don't worry, more booze and some self harming is coming after the Peace meeting Arc ends. Though I suicide attempt is still pretty far away. But, like what I say almost all the time (not really) all good things come with patience.

GanjaTwinks: Glad to know that you like the story and that I didn't disappoint you! And thank you for voting.

SageNaruto3881: Thanks for your vote.

Mickhe11: You're right; Issei's life spam had increased since he became a dragon. Though when and if he uses Juggernaut Drive, his life spam will be cut down. How much is still unknown but it's going to be a lot. And from the second review that you posted, I'm guessing that you liked Issei's rage when Riser made fun of him.

Jack hal: I already did that on my Spyro the Dragon fanfic. Though I might make him meet the voice in his head, but I won't make them fight.

AnimeAwsomeLove: Thank you for your vote. Here's the next chapter as well!

shadow217: Glad that you like the story. No worries Issei won't be dying… At least if I decide to scrap the new ending that I made up for the old one. Like I said, the voting will stay open until the fight with Kokabiel begins. So yea, thank you for your vote. And don't worry, you're English was pretty good. Here's the next chapter then!

AfroKenji: Thank you for your vote.

And that was all of the reviews from the previous chapter. Some were left out because I have already answered through PM. As of now, these are the poll results:

Issei runs away: 8 votes.

Issei goes into Juggernaut Drive: 24 votes.

Looks like a lot of you really want Issei to go into Juggernaut Drive instead of him just running away. But enough about that, on with chapter 12!

Chapter 12: The Church makes its move.

Issei opened his eye and looked at the ceiling for a small while. He tried to get up from his bed, but there was some weight on his right arm. Issei looked to his right and saw Rias. On his bed. Naked and sleeping peacefully.

Issei just gave a quite sigh. What was wrong with this girl?

He managed to free his arm from Rias' grasp without waking her. He exited his room and walked to the bathroom.

He gave two knocks on the door.

"It's occupied!" A voice said from inside the bathroom. Issei recognized the voice of Mittelt.

Issei went downstairs, yawning a bit. Once he got in the kitchen, he saw Asia making breakfast with a smile. Asia noticed him coming down the stairs and looked at him, her smile widening a bit.

"Ah, good morning Issei! Breakfast will be done shortly!" She said as she went back to cooking.

Issei gave her a small nod and walked inside the leaving room, where he saw Kalawarner watching TV. Issei sat across her waited for Asia to finish cooking breakfast. Kalawarner snapped out of her daze when she saw Issei sitting across her.

"Morning kid. Didn't notice you there." Kalawarner said with a smile on her dace.

Issei looked at her and nodded back at her, his own way of saying good morning. He then turned his attention back to the TV.

"Issei, why did you sneak out on me? And why didn't you wake me up?" Issei then heard a voice behind him. He was also hugged from behind as he felt his head sink in a pair of big breasts.

The owner of the voice was Rias', if you haven't figured that out by know.

Issei could only sigh at the girls actions. It was way too early in the morning for this.

"Breakfast's ready!" Asia said from the kitchen.

Rias let go of Issei and walked to the kitchen, Kalawarner and Issei following behind. Mittelt was also there and she already had her food in front of her.

Once everyone sat down, they dug in. Breakfast consisted of miso soup, bread and fish.

"Mmm, Asia, you're cooking is the best!" Mittelt said with a big smile on her face.

"I agree, you're cooking is very good." Kalawarner said as she took a bite from her bread.

"T-Thank you Mittelt, Kalawarner." Asia said with a small blush.

Once they finished breakfast, they put their plates in the sink. Rias, Issei and Asia went upstairs. Issei had time to take a quick shower. Once he finished his shower, he went back in his room and changed into his school clothes.

Issei went down stairs and saw Rias and Asia waiting for him near the door.

"Well, we're leaving! Goodbye!" Asia said as she exited the house with Issei and Rias.

They heard Mittelt and Kalawarner say their goodbyes. Issei then closed the door.

[Hey Partner, can I talk to you about something?] Ddraig said inside Issei's head.

Issei mentally nodded.

[Last night, I had a dream. It was more of a vision actually. Anyway, I saw you fighting with Kokabiel in what looked like the school that you go too, Kuoh Academy. Then, the picture started to change and I saw you beginning to transform into Juggernaut Drive. Remember when we talked about that technique?] Ddraig asked.

Issei again mentally nodded.

[If you remember, I told you that Juggernaut Drive can only be triggered if the host has any negative emotions, like anger for example. What I'm getting at is this, try not to lose your cool during your fight with the crow.] Ddraig said as his voice faded away.

Issei nodded again, though he didn't think that he'll be able to contain his rage when the time comes.

Before they knew it, they reached the entrance of the school. Once they passed through the gate, they were automatically showered with shouts from both female and male students.

"W-Why is Hyoudou with Princess Rias and Asia?!" A female student asked in shock.

"Hyoudou you bastard! Get away from them you monster!" A male student shouted in anger.

"Aww, I wanted to date Issei!" Another female voice said in disappointment.

Issei left eye began to twitch. He was once again the center of attention.

"HYOUDOU YOU BASTAAAAAARD!" Two voices were heard. Issei looked to his right and saw the Perverted Duo, Motohama and Matsuda running at him with fists raised and anger across their face.

Issei sighed. He didn't have time for this. Issei dodged a punch from Motohama and kicked his left leg, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground. Matsuda threw his punch at Issei, who stopped the punch with his hand. Issei then pulled him down and swipe kicked Matsuda, causing him to have the same outcome like his comrade.

"H-How the hell are you do strong?!" Matsuda asked with gritted teeth.

Issei just shrugged his shoulders. Before he could walk away, he felt someone tap his shoulder two times. He turned around and saw Rias.

"Issei, I have to go to my class now. Let's meet up in the club house." Rias said with a smile.

Issei only nodded.

"Oh, just to let you know, Asia is in the same class as you. So take care of her." Rias said with a smile as she walked away.

Issei nodded and looked at Asia. Issei mentioned for Asia to follow him. Asia complied and began to follow Issei.

Once they entered their classroom, they sat on their chairs and waited for the bell to ring, which did after a few seconds. After about a minute, Mrs. Keiko walked in the classroom. She had a few books in hand.

"Good morning class. Today, we'll be continuing our session on Greek Mythology, so open your history Books on page 57." Mrs. Keiko said as she opened her own book. The students did the same thing.

Issei opened his book, but he didn't pay any attention to the lesson. He just stared out the window. He's eyes then narrowed.

Outside, were two strangers. One of them had something big wrapped around in a cloth which was on her back. The other had a sword strapped around the hip or thigh. Issei couldn't tell the gender of the one's with the giant thing on her back, but he knew that the other one was a woman, because he could see her long brown pigtails at the side of her hood. He couldn't identify the other person though, but he gave a wild guess that it was a woman as well.

"Issei! Can you please pay attention to the lesson?!" Mrs. Keiko shouted.

Issei turned to look at her for a small moment. Once she turned around to wright something on the whiteboard, he turned and looked outside once more. Though the two weren't there anymore.

Issei gave a quite sigh, as he looked towards the whiteboard, so he could write whatever Mrs. Keiko wrote.

Lunch Time:

The bell finally rang, signaling lunch time. Issei stood up from his chair and walked towards Asia's desk. Asia saw him walking towards her and smiled.

"Issei, are you going to the Old School Building?" Asia asked.

Issei nodded.

"Okay, then let's go!" Asia said, as she and Issei walked out of the classroom.

Once they got to the Old School Building, Issei noticed Asia flinch a bit. Issei turned and looked at her with a raised brow.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I… Just felt weird for a moment there." Asia said.

Issei nodded slowly. They walked up the stairs and headed to the main office. Once they got there, Issei, gave two knocks on the door.

"Excuse me for a moment. Whoever it is, can you please come back later? We have some rather important business to do." They both heard Rias' voice say.

"U-Umm, President why do you want us to leave?" Asia asked with a stutter.

"Oh, it's just you Asia. It's okay, you can enter." Rias said.

Issei pushed the door open. His eyes narrowed when he saw who was sitting at the sofa on the right. It was the two strangers from this morning. They had their hoods down, so Issei could clearly see their faces.

One of them had brown hair that was fixed in pigtails. She also had pink eyes. The other one, who was also a girl, had yellow eyes and blue hair, some green that covered the center of her forehead. She was also the one that was carrying that large thing on her back, which was on her side right now.

"Ah, Issei, you're with her as well." Rias said with a smile. Issei could tell that her smile was one of relief.

"W-Wait a minute, THAT is Issei?! There's no way! He looks absolutely different from the last time I saw him!" The girl with pink eyes said with shock in her voice.

"Irina, you should know that we shouldn't make friends with Devils." The other girl said.

"I know Xenovia, but this is my childhood friend that we're talking about!" The girl known as Irina said with a smile, causing the other girl, Xenovia to sigh.

"Actually, Issei is not a Devil. I offered him to become one, but he refused the offer." Rias said with closed eyes.

"Oh, thank God that you aren't a Devil Issei! Do you remember me? I used to be your neighbor ten years ago!" Irina said with a smile as she approached Issei.

Issei looked at her confused. He put two fingers at the side of his forehead, but he couldn't remember a girl named Irina.

[Partner, I dug into your memory a bit. She is telling you the truth. She used to be your neighbor, but she had to move away due to her becoming an Exorcist.] Ddraig said inside Issei's head.

Issei was still confused though, which weirded Ddraig a bit. Issei then felt Ddraig's eyes widen a bit. He then manifested the Boosted Gear on Issei arm.

[So… it's starting. And here I though you would have a bit more time on you] Ddraig said out loud, causing everyone to look confused, except for Xenovia.

"The Red Dragon Emperor…" Was the only thing Xenovia said, but not from shock, but from interest.

"What do you mean, Red Dragon Emperor? What's happening to Issei?" Rias asked worried.

[Remember when I told you about the illnesses that he had? One of them is starting to appear right now as we speak.] Ddraig said.

"W-Wait, what kind of illnesses does Issei have?" Asia asked. She was extremely worried.

"I-I also want to know!" Irina said, as equally worried.

Before Rias could answer, Ddraig answered for her.

[He has some rare Panic Attacks, Depression, Extreme Paranoia, Dementia and… Schizophrenia.] Ddraig listed Issei's illnesses.

Irina's eyes widened as a few tears escaped her eyes. She had a hand on her mouth as she took a few steps backwards.

"No… No… That… That can't be true…" Irina said, falling to her knees. Asia was also sobbing as she hugged Issei, who remained with a confused look on his face, bot paying any attention to his surroundings.

[I'm sorry to say, but it is unfortunately true.] Ddraig said.

Everyone fell into silence after the reveal.

"What… Is the illness that just showed up then?" Akeno asked.

[That… Would be his Dementia.] Ddraig said.

"Are… Are you sure that it's his Dementia? Are you sure that it's not just him forgetting about her?" Rias asked her face containing both shock and sadness.

[I am positive. Like I said, memory problems are one cause of Dementia. He's experiencing one right now. And if you remember after the Rating Game with Riser, my Partner collapsed. In the beginning I thought it was from exhaustion. But, I was wrong. Another symptom of Dementia, is the frequent falls, with the chance of passing out. I only said that he collapsed from using Balance Breaker as an excuse.] Ddraig revealed the real reason as to why Issei passed out after the Rating Game.

Issei suddenly shook his head violently, causing everyone to look at him with worry. Once his stopped shaking his head, he looked at everyone in the room, his usual look appearing once more.

"Issei… Do you have any idea as to what has happened to you right now?" Rias asked.

Issei looked at her for a moment, and then nodded his head slowly, his hair covering his eyes a bit.

"Are… Are you going to be okay? I can call a doctor from the underworld if you want." Rias offered.

Issei only shook his head. He then looked at Irina, who was still on her knees, crying. Issei walked towards her and put his arm on her shoulder, shaking it a bit. It caught Irina's attention as she looked up and starred into Issei's eyes.

"Issei… What happened to you? What happened to the boy I used to play with? What happened to the boy I used to share my laughter with? You… You are not him. Please… Bring him back to me… Please…" Irina trailed off, but stopped as she hung her head lower and continued to cry.

Issei then put his hand behind her neck and pulled her into a small hug. Irina continued to cry and sob. No one in the room dared to pull them apart. Not even Xenovia. This was the first time she saw her partner like this. She also felt a bit sad for her as well.

Irina's eyes then snapped open as she pulled away from Issei, shock on her face. The others looked at her in confusion.

[Partner… You didn't just…] Ddraig began to say, but stopped. This was a big shock, even to him.

"What? What did Issei do?" Rias asked with urgency.

Neither Irina nor Ddraig said anything. Issei patted Irina on the head and stood up. He walked towards Asia and stood beside her. Xenovia noticed Asia.

"It just occurred to me. Are you the 'Witch' Asia Argento? The former Holy Priestess?" Xenovia asked, causing Asia to flinch at being called a witch.

"Yes… It's me." Asia said with sad eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't tell the higher ups that we saw you here. Though you did fall lower than any of us expected. For you to become a Devil. Do you still believe in God?" Xenovia asked.

"I…I did believe in him my whole life. I can't stop believing." Asia said.

"Is that so? Then allow me to cut you down with my Holy Sword, Durandal. Maybe God will forgive you and will allow you to enter Heaven." Xenovia said as she unwrapped the giant sword from the cloth and pointed it towards Asia, who had a fearful expression on her face.

Issei then approached Xenovia with rage in his eyes. How dare she say such words to Asia?! Issei tried to punch her, but she jumped backwards. She proceeded to attack Issei, but Irina stood in front of her, her sword drawn out.

"Xenovia… Please stop… We didn't come here to kill Devils nor Issei. We came here to stop Kokabiel." Irina said.

Issei's eyes widened, his rage disappearing.

[Do you know where his base of operation is?] Ddraig asked.

"We still don't know that yet. We're planning on searching tomorrow. Why are you asking?" Irina asked.

[Because it was Kokabiel that caused every single one of my Partner's scars. The one on his neck and the loss of his eye. It was all Kokabiel's fault. He was also the cause of my Partner's parent's death. ] Ddraig said.

Irina's eyes widened at the reveal. Kokabiel was the one that caused Issei to be this way. Irina clenched her sword to her chest and gritted her teeth.

[Maybe… We can help each other. When you start searching tomorrow, we'll come with you.] Ddraig said.

"We appreciate the offer, but we can't accept help from a Devil." Xenovia said.

Ddraig chuckled a bit.

[Didn't you hear what Rias Gremory said? My Partner is not a Devil. And even if he was, it wouldn't be help from a Devil. It would be help from a Dragon.] Ddraig said.

This caused Xenovia to put a hand on her chin.

"I haven't really thought about that. Alright, we will accept your help." Xenovia said with a smile.

Irina also smiled, but she also had a few tears in her eyes.

"Red Dragon Emperor, are you sure that you want to ally yourself with Exorcists?" Rias asked.

[If it's for my Partner to finally achieve his revenge and finally get his peace, then I'll do anything.] Ddraig said.

Rias stood still. She and her peerage knew what is going to happen if Issei gets his revenge. She still has time though. She can still change his mind.

"Alright… I trust you." Rias said.

"Before you two leave, mind If I have a spar with one of you?" Kiba said with a smile, though everyone could feel the killing intend radiating from him.

"And who are you supposed to be?" Xenovia asked.

"I'm your senior, though I was a failure." Kiba said with the same painted smile.

And that guys is the end of chapter 12. Hope you guys enjoyed it, despite it being a bit sad. So, what did you guys think Issei did to Irina to cause both Ddraig and Irina to fall into a state of shock? Leave your thoughts in the reviews! Don't forget to vote if you didn't! So until next time, I'll see you when you're older, don't go changing!
