Hello welcome back and to the next chapter of my DxD fic. You know compared to my other fanfics this series is updating a lot faster, which is mostly because its based on another fic but with slight alterations so that's why. The fight scene might feel a bit rushed in this chapter so keep an open mind. Here are some recent reviews:
T.V. 2000-You're right she does deserve more love and the reason she's the main is because she's my favorite. I kinda want to and I can come up with ways Issei can use Vritras powers combined with Ddraig and Albion. And I don't hate Saji if anything I like him he's a cool guy but I just really want to get him out of the story, again I don't hate him. As for your Harem suggestions I like them and I'll put them in but I don't know if I'll be able to add them into the story but I'll try and put them in.
Sageofchaos-Hope you enjoy it more.
CincyRail-I want to say yes but it's kind of hard to imagine both Balance Breakers used at the same time, but he can use the gauntlet and wings at the same time, I just don't know about the scale mail armor though. I mean they managed to pull it off in Hero but I don't know if I can do it here, but I'll maybe consider doing it so keep an eye out.
OechsnerC-Thank you really appreciate that.

Chapter 6: Twilight Healing
The sun shined bright through the window of Issei's room, the light soon reaching his face, stirring him awake from his slumber. His eyes began to slowly open and once they did he saw a...questioning but interesting sight to say the very least. On his right he saw Raynare, clinging onto him tightly as if he were her own personal hug pillow snoring peacefully with a face filled with sheer bliss.
The Fallen Angel clinging onto him wasn't the thing that was interesting. No, instead it was the fact that there was a third occupant in his bed. Not only were they a surprising guest but they were also very nude. He immediately knew who it was since she had a feature that no girl he knew had. Crimson red hair.
'Usually I would be freaking out about this but this time, I think I'm just gonna enjoy this.'
(As you should. I doubt many people get to be this close to the sister of the great Devil King.)
[That is very true. From what I know he is very protective over his younger sister.]
'Just as any big brother would. I can probably take him on. So there's no need to worry about me.'
(I say this because I don't doubt that you can beat him but keep in mind he's not a pushover you know. There is still a chance he could kill you if you let your guard down for only a second.)
'In the worst case scenario I'd have to resort to using my true form.'
(Let's hope for the best and try to get along with any big names from any of the three factions so that it won't come to that.)
'That I can't guarantee but if it means I get to live longer then I'll see if I can get along with any of them.' The young man said hoping to avoid causing any major conflict from any of the three factions.
(Instead, let's deal with the girl right in front of us, wake her up.)
As soon as Albion said that Rias began to slowly wake up from her sleep. Her eyes fluttered open just to see Issei staring at her.
"Oh, good morning Issei." She said in a calm demeanor.
"Good morning to you too, Rias…" Curious to find out why she's in his bed to begin with the teen decided to copy the red-head and get straight to the point. "Hey, uh...Quick question. Why are you in my bed? Naked might I add."
"Straight to the point aren't we? Well, don't get mad but I had Kiba follow you home yesterday after you left the club room. When he told me what happened between you and that second Fallen Angel I decided to wait a bit to confront you about it but I saw how you and your little friend here were sleeping soundly I just couldn't help but wanted to join in as well."
"And you sleep in the nude?"
"I prefer sleeping in the nude." It appalled the teen at how simple Rias could have answered his question. He could have sworn that he heard the two dragons laughing in his head once they heard her answer. "Why? Do you not find my body fascinating?" The woman pressing her arms against her chest.
"That's not it at all. It's just not every day that a beautiful woman such as yourself shows up in my bed in the nude, not that I'm complaining though."
"Well aren't you a charmer?" She gave off an almost seductive smile which would make any man go after her, including Issei but he held back and it was also because of the fact that Raynare was still sleeping and was hugging him very tightly. "I wonder how many other girls you've seduced?"
"Well I would say I'm flattered but I'm not really trying to attract you or anything." He said with a plain smirk on his face. Seeing that the red-head was secretly disappointed.
But not wanting to show it she gave him a very sweet smile, almost an innocent one without a seductive look to it. It looked as if she were doubtful about something until she gave a sincere answer. "I see, well my bad on misreading that."
This answer was enough to satisfy the demi-drake. He knew that there was a part of him that cares about Rias in the same way he cares about Raynare. It wasn't just lust for both of them that he felt, it was something deeper. But it was different with her he didn't know what it was but he couldn't be too forward with the the red-head just yet.
"How about you go downstairs and get ready for school. That way we can walk together." He suggested.
She got out of the bed and walked towards the door while she collected her clothing. When she got to the door she looked back at him before exiting. "Don't keep me waiting too long."
Issei stayed in his bed for a few seconds until he got up, as slowly as possible as to not wake up the sleeping Fallen Angel, and started to shower and get changed into his school uniform. While he was getting ready he began to think about something he didn't know was important or not.
'So the carpet does match the drapes.'
(Does that seriously have to be the first thing you think of in the morning?)
'Yeah, well I'm a man so I had to look.'
(Well, you're lucky she doesn't think your dense or anything.)
'I'm not and don't ever say that again.'
[Yeah, yeah, we know that overconfident and douche-y type of people are the ones you hate the most, but still…]
'I did notice that she seemed almost hesitant telling me something. The reason why is still a mystery to me.'
(Perhaps there is something that's currently bothering her, hindering her ability to accept any advances.)
[But not hindering the ability to be a tease. There is no way a woman would just show of her naked body to some random man, even if said woman sleeps in the nude.]
(Being a tease and having the ability to care for someone are very different. One can show you a false form of love at night but can't show true love at day.)
[Fine then. You can be his mentor in the battles of love. Wake me up when he gets himself in a real fight.]
'So, oh wise one. What do you suggest I do?' The teen gestured for his grandfather to continue.
(You need to get her to open up to you.)
'I don't know how?'
[Well, you better find a way to get her to trust you. Now go get ready for school, boy!]
'Yeah, yeah…'
Once he was finally finished getting dressed he went down to the living room to see that Rias was in a conversation with a hologram of Sona hovering in front of her. Instead of being a good person and informing them that he was there, Issei decided to listen in the conversation.
"Sona, I don't understand why you're so insistent on why you don't want me to interact with him!" Rias exclaimed.
"From what your knight told me he's too dangerous for you to be around him unprotected." Sona explained. "He has a power that we can't even comprehend. I just can't help but be nervous around him."
"Sona, you have nothing to worry about…" The red-head reassured her friend. "I won't deny he seems to be very dangerous but based on my brief interactions with him he doesn't seem to be a bad guy."
'Didn't think that they would be so distrusting of me.' He secretly thought.
"That just makes him seem more dangerous, Rias. He could possibly be planning on using you for something."
'For someone who I owe favors to she does not seem to trust me very much.'
"He isn't like that Sona. If he wanted to hurt me he would have done something by now. He's not a monster."
"Why do you even care about him Rias? He said so himself, as long as we didn't bother him he wouldn't bother us so why are you even with him?"
Rias seemed hesitant to answer her question. It was as if she either had no answer or an answer she couldn't accept. "We'll speak about this later. I'll see you at school, Sona." Rias ended the call and continued to sit there, silently.
Issei decided to come out of the shadows and went over to Rias and called out to her. "Rias." The red-head was immediately startled that he called out to her when she wasn't expecting him. After her shock she stood up to see the young man behind her. "I think it's time for us to get going."
"Yeah."
During the walk to school
After a very eventful morning the both of them began to make their way to school. The whole walk was covered in an uncomfortable silence, despite the sounds of the neighborhood.
"Rias, I gotta know something. Do you trust me?" He asked. After the conversation he wasn't sure if she trusted him or not.
This is when Rias stopped in her tracks. He was confused at why she did so but those confusions faded away once she answered him.
"I honestly don't know if I can or cannot trust you." She stated. "There's so much we don't know about you. I can't be sure to trust you until I learn more about you."
Issei began to look at her with a more serious face.
"Rias, I know I haven't really done anything to gain you or Sitri-senpai's trust but believe me when I say I'm not someone who hurts innocent people." The young man said with nothing but sincerity in his voice.
Rias was silent for a few seconds and she took in a deep breath and replied. "I can tell you're being honest and I appreciate that and hope you show me and Sona a good reason to trust you."
"I feel better knowing you're willing to give me a chance and I just hope Sitri-senpai does the same thing. Which is why I have something I want to tell both of you."
Rias looked with a confused expression.
"I want you and her to meet me in the clubroom…"
Occult Research Clubroom
Issei was sitting in the clubroom for a good half an hour waiting for Rias and Sona to arrive. At this point he was contemplating if he should go through with telling them his history but knew at this point there was no going back.
It wasn't much longer until Rias and Sona finally arrived to the room. After entering Rias had locked the door so no one would disturb them and took a seat on the sofa.
"So I heard that you're willing to tell us about your past." Sona said. "Where would you like to begin?"
"I think it would be best if I were to start from when I was first introduced to the supernatural world…" He said. "When I was seven my parents and I were attacked by two dragon hunters by the names of Xander and Siegbert. They acted cowardly, attacking us when we were simply relaxing together. They quickly killed my father and my mother, leaving me covered in their blood with no idea at why they had done this. Before they chose to kill me they decided to tell me why they had killed my family. Apparently Kokabiel had hired them because he was afraid that either my father or my mother or I would become a threat to his plans in the future. Once they finally decided to kill me Ddraig awakened and thanks to him I managed to survive that day."
Both Rias and Sona were soon left speechless at this story. It looked as if Rias was about to shed a tear. But after recovering from her shock Sona asked a question that left her curious.
"Wait, if you were seven at the time, who raised you after your parents died?"
'Do I have to answer that?'
(Actually, it does sound hard to believe a seven year-old managed to look after himself.)
'Oh yeah, Now that you mention it, I never really bothered to think about it that much.'
[Go ahead and tell them you are trying to gain their trust.]
"I'll tell you but I need you both to promise to not tell anyone. I need this to stay between us." Both Rias and Sona looked to each other after a few seconds they turned back and nodded to this. "The person who looked after me was...Penemue."
Their eyes immediately open at this. To say that they were shocked truly was a major understatement.
"You're telling me that you were raised by Penemue!?" Rias exclaimed.
"Well technically, she mostly babysat me, checking on me from time to time, just making sure that I was okay."
"I see." The red-head accepted the explanation. "Well, it's reassuring to know that you were raised by someone like her, so I guess I can eliminate the thought of you being twisted or something."
"Either way, both Rias and I thank you for revealing your past to us. I think I can begin to trust you now, Hyoudou."
"Sona's right. Now there are no secrets between us. We can begin to trust each other."
"Good because I need help from the both of you."
Sona raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly do you need?"
"From what my new Fallen Angel friend told me an exiled nun has been taken in by a rouge Fallen Angel and some exorcist who are currently based in an abandoned church far from any residential area are planning to take her sacred gear. I need your help to eliminate them."
"With respect, this isn't in my territory so this doesn't involve me. I'll leave it to Rias if she chooses to help you." Sona states.
"If I do help you what do I get in exchange?" Rias asks.
"You can take the nun as your servant if you want. I'll also owe you one favor."
After some thought Rias nodded to give him her assistance. She needed both his future favor and a new servant for some future use.
"The ritual happens tomorrow night so you should inform your peerage about what's going down."
"Are we going to meet here or will we find you fighting already?"
"You'll most definitely find me there already." The teen grinned.
"I'll see you there then."
A few hours later
'For wanting to kill this 'Dohnaseek' guy or whatever those two sure are taking their sweet time.' Issei thought, annoyed at how long Raynare and Kalawarner were taking to get ready.
(Give them time…Women like to take their time. They'll be down at any moment.)
Almost immediately the two Fallen Angels came down to the living room to depart for the abandoned church, Raynare dressed in her Fallen Angel attire and Kalawarner in her usual trench-coat.
"I assume that you both are ready now?" He asked.
They both nod. "Alright, let's get going then." The young man said as he summons a magic circle, teleporting the three of them to their destination.
Once they arrived they're surprised to find that no one is guarding the outside of the church. "You know I would have expected them to have at least an exorcist or someone out here but this is just disappointing." The demi-drake says disappointed.
"Most likely because they didn't expect anyone or anything to disturb them." Raynare guessed.
"Let's see if there's anyone waiting for us in the inside." Kalawarner suggested.
The trio begin to make their way into the church just to see a single exorcist waiting. Immediately after seeing him both Raynare and Kalawarner cringed. This exorcist was a young man with short white hair and red eyes. Just by looking at him Issei could tell that there was something off about him.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the two traitorous sluts with their new boy toy." He says maniacally.
"I can't believe the first person we see on our return is you, Freed." Raynare says with disgust in her voice.
"Uh, who is he?" Issei asks.
"That right there is Freed Sellzen." Kalawarner answered. "He's been known to be a very insane person. It's been rumored that he was kicked out of the Vatican for raping an Angel."
"And I enjoyed every minute of it!" Freed says. "Hearing her scream for her life was so entertaining!"
The second he heard that Issei was instantly enraged. To hear that this guy raped an Angel and has no regrets of it made him sick to his stomach. Ever since he was young he always hated it when an innocent person was hurt or wronged by a guilty person. And since he was raised by an Angel his fury was increased as he respected and loved the holy beings.
"You know, I just can't seem to understand why people like you exist in this world." The young man said walking forward with the killing intent in his eyes.
"People like me?" The exorcist chuckled as he brought out his blade.
"People who think they can just get away with hurting others..." Issei growled while summoning a sword to his right hand.
"Oh, this is hilarious. You think that you can beat THE Freed Sellzen!?" He retorts. "I'll chop you to pieces!"
Freed lunged at Issei but it didn't faze him one bit. All Issei did was flick his sword and a big slash of energy hit the man's stomach sending him flying and crashing into a wall onto the side, causing him to cough up blood.
"Whoa…" Kalawarner stood back in shock. 'He could have easily killed him right there.' She thought when she looked back at the teen. 'I sure am lucky he didn't decide to kill me when I first met him.'
"*Cough*What the…*Cough*…Hell?!" The man coughed out blood, while struggling to get up.
"Normally, I would torture you but I have a nun to save right now." Issei said and turned back to his companions. "Which way do we go?"
Raynare looked around and pointed at a door. "Over there, that'll take us to the ritual site."
They rushed past the injured exorcist.
"Hey! Get back here!" The man attempted to chase them but instead fell to the ground throbbing due to his injuries. 'Damn it! I'll get you for this, you brat!' He thought as he summoned a magic circle to teleport him somewhere else.
Issei and the two Fallen Angels continued their way down the steps of the church. With Kalawarner leading the front and Issei behind her and behind him was Raynare. "Boy, this sure is one deep basement, huh?" The teen joked but the two women said nothing.
"Issei-sama…" Raynare spoke first. "Why did you react like that?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" The young man played dumb.
"You got mad the moment we told you what Freed did." Kalawarner answered.
For a few seconds he didn't answer until. "I really respect Angels." Gaining a surprised look from the two. "Don't get me wrong. I still think you two are awesome, but I think it probably has something to do with my hate of innocent people getting hurt."
"Innocent people…" Raynare started.
"Getting hurt…" Kalawarner finished.
"Yeah, so whenever I see someone get hurt for no good reason I just get mad."
The two women looking at the teen with sad faces.
"And it probably had something to do with me being raised by an Angel so…"
"…" Both of them kept quiet.
Issei was very hesitant to speak again but he decided that they deserved to know. "A few years ago when I was younger and just started my training to get stronger I was attacked by a group of Fallen Angels. I fought long and hard but I couldn't last that long. Just when they were about to finish me off an Angel came down and saved my life. She took care of me for quite some time until she one day left and I never heard from her ever again. I guess it angered me that Freed had done that to an innocent Angel and had no regrets, it just…sparked something in me."
"If Fallen Angels have caused you so much pain, then why didn't you just kill us?" Raynare asked.
"Over time I learned that not all Fallen Angels are evil. Like you two there can be good Fallen Angels who I can care about and also the Angel that raised me told me 'There's no such thing as born evil'."
Raynare instantly began to blush when Issei said that he cared about her. It crossed her mind that there's a possibility the two could get together in the future.
"If the two of you are done flirting around we have a nun to save" Kalawarner said.
"We weren't flirting!" Raynare retorted.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever let's just get to work." Replied Kalawarner.
"And where exactly are the rest of the exorcists?" Issei asked.
"They should all be down here." Kalawarner said as she busted down the door beneath the steps.
They were now inside a room filled with exorcists and at the far end of the room was a male Fallen Angel and blonde girl with green eyes in a nun outfit held up on a cross.
The nun saw the trio and screamed. "Please, help me!"
The male Fallen Angel turned and saw who the girl was begging for help was. "Oh, well if it isn't Raynare and Kalawarner, the traitors." The man smirked. He seemed to be a middle-aged-looking man with short black hair and dark blue eyes. He had on a pale gray trench coat over a white dress shirt with a matching ascot, black pants and shoes, a pair of black gloves, and a black fedora.
"Dohnaseek." Raynare called out with gritted teeth.
"Let that girl go!" Kalawarner said while manifesting a spear of light and pointed it at the man.
"You're too late." The man said. "Soon, Twilight Healing is going to be mine and no one can stop me!"
"That's where you're wrong Dohnaseek!" Kalawarner smirked. "By the time the sun rises you and the rest of these exorcists will be begging for mercy."
"Oh is that so? Its only 3 of you against my army. You can't defeat us!"
"Wrong once again!" Said a voice behind the trio.
Issei and the two Fallen Angels looked behind them and saw Rias and her peerage, all in a battle stance.
"Ah, the heir of Gremory! It truly is an honor to be in your presence." The man mockingly bowed.
"It's quite contradictory to say that after capturing an exiled nun and attempting to steal her sacred gear now, isn't it?" She replied.
"Well, I guess you could say that, but it won't matter after you're all dead. Kill them!" Dohnaseek ordered his minions.
"Go my servants and show them what happens when you mess with the house of Gremory!" Rias commanded.
"Yes, president!" Her peerage charged at the incoming army.
The 3 servants went on to attack all the exorcists, cutting them down in a quick fashion.
With Rias, she fought alongside her servants. While the Fallen Angel just stood back and watched from the platform, along with the nun, who was confused at just about everything.
"Now that the small fry are busy, I'll be taking care of the boss. That is if you two don't mind?" He asked his companions.
"Just make sure he suffers." Kalawarner requested.
"Consider it done." Issei winked.
The trio made their way through the battlefield with no effort. As they reached the base of the platform. The male Fallen Angel stood there with a wide grin and had his arms crossed. "Hah, you finally made it. So who wants to die first?"
"The only one who's going to die is you." Issei remarked.
"Help me!" The nun shouted.
"Quiet you!" Dohnaseek shot a stream of lightning at the defenseless woman.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" The blonde screamed in pain.
Seeing this the teen gritted his teeth at the scene. "Hey! Leave her alone!"
"Make me." The man smirked.
"Leave the girl to us." Raynare said.
"I'll leave it to you."
Issei glared at the male Fallen Angel and unfolded his wings he had two pairs of wings, two of the wings on top had red scales with green glowing veins in the fin and the bottom half had white scales with silver fur aligned within them. "You're dead!" He dashed at the man while forming two swords with a red base and blue gems embedded within both his hands.
"That's my line!" The Fallen Angel formed a purple light spears in his hands and charged at the enraged teen.
He flew directly at the young man and swung his spears at him. The swords clashed with Dohnaseek's spear of light but surprisingly to him the spears shattered. Shocked at the outcome the male Fallen Angel flew away from the altar with Issei chasing. Now clearing a path for the Fallen Angel sisters to the nun.
"Hurry! Get her down!" Kalawarner told her sister.
Raynare flew up and started unbinding the girl from the cross.
"W-What's happening?" The scared girl asked.
"Don't worry were here to help." Raynare assured the girl when she finished her task and the girl dropped from the cross and into Kalawarner's arms.
"Is he going to be alright?" The nun asked in concerned for the white haired teen.
"Don't worry, Issei-sama won't lose to someone like him." Raynare proudly said.
"Confident are we?" Her sister teased with a small smirk.
"What? It's true!" The woman retorted with a bright blush on her face.
The blonde confused at the two strangers but oddly enough she felt safe, despite being Fallen Angels, with them knowing they will do whatever it takes to rescue her. She then looked towards the man that seemed to be the same age as her. He got mad for her because she was harmed and willingly went out of the way to rescue her while the church she used to be affiliated with abandoned her. Yet, these strangers are going to make sure she's safe and sound.
Back to Issei and Dohnaseek
Dohnaseek flew into the hair, dodging the slashes of energy sent by the young man.
"What's the matter Dohnaseek, you scared already?" Issei taunted.
"Shut up you worthless dragon! I'll slay you where you stand!" Dohnaseek yelled in rage.
He lunged towards Issei and swung two new spears at him with the full intent of killing him on the spot. Every swing of the spear he made the teen dodged it with little to no effort and continued to destroy them one after another.
After this process was repeated a few more times the demi-drake dodged a final swing of a spear and cut one of Dohnaseek's arms off.
"AAAAAAAAAAAA!" The man screamed in pain, holding his severed arm after a minute he glared at the teen, not noticing his fedora falling off. "GOD DAMN IT YOU BASTARD!" He yelled in pain. "HOW DARE YOU!"
"Quit whining. It's just you're arm that got cut off." Issei replied almost mockingly. "Now time to choose what else I'm going to cut off."
In a panicked state, Dohnaseek tried flying away but was interrupted when Issei flew up and sliced off one of his wings.
The man crashed to the ground, trying to cover his wound. "AAAAHH! DAMN YOU!"
"Well that sure was a fall." The teen mocked. "I hope you don't mind if I TAKE THE OTHER!" With a swing of his sword Issei cut off the other remaining wing leaving Dohnaseek screaming in pain.
"AAAAAAA!" The Fallen Angel screamed and looked back at the demi-drake then started backing away, pulling himself with his one arm.
"Where do you think you're going?" Issei snarled and retracted his wings.
"NO! NO! PLEASE! PLEASE SPARE ME!" Dohnaseek pleaded with tears going down his eyes.
"That's ironic. I wonder how many times you've heard those exact words from innocent people and ignored them." Issei stood in front of the downed Dohnaseek, and summoned his Boosted Gear and reached it towards the man.
"BOOST!BOOST!BOOST!BOOST!BOOST!BOOST!" The emerald gems within the gauntlet started glowing and a small red-sphere formed at the palm of the gauntlet.
"HIIIII!" The Fallen Angel paled at the sphere. "NO!"
"Tsk…" Issei sighed and dispersed the sphere in his palm. "You're pathetic. Killing you is just sad. You got no wings, no power. I suppose letting you live is a much better punishment for you." The young man said as he turned his back towards him and began to walk towards his companions.
Dohnaseek just laid there, enraged that he was defeated by a dragon brat. He shouldn't accept this. He won't accept this! He stood up and made a final spear of light and started to run towards the back of an unsuspecting Issei to slay him on the spot.
Everyone besides the teen noticed what the Fallen Angel was about to do and tried to call out to him.
"Issei, look out!" Rias called out.
Unfortunately, he wasn't quick enough to turn around and what he saw was a large spear of light heading straight for his face.
*CRACK*
The sound of breaking bones and pierced flesh was the last thing everyone heard until they realized what had happened. A spear of light had pierced the skin and bones of not Issei but of Dohnaseek. A large gaping hole formed in his stomach by the spear which had stabbed him. Issei looked and it wasn't the red spear of Raynare nor the yellow spear of Kalawarner, but it was one he didn't recognize. This spear was light pink in color.
"M-Mittelt! H-How dare you!" Dohnaseek struggled to say as blood foamed in his mouth.
"You betrayed us first, Dohnaseek." A female childish voice said. Everyone looked and saw a girl with blonde hair, which was styled into twin-tails, and blue eyes. She was wearing a Gothic Lolita attire that was outfitted with a black dress with white frills, a large black bow on the front and a green jewel embedded on the collar, white thigh-high socks, and black shoes.
"There's no place in the Grigori for traitors." Mittelt said smiling innocently. "Now die." She summoned a new spear of light and impaled it into Dohnseeks head, killing him. She then dispersed her spears and let the corpse of Dohnaseek fall to the cold floor.
"Mittelt! I was going to do that, you stole my moment from me!" Kalawarner said.
"You were just too slow, Kalawarner." The petite blonde smugly replied. "I think old age finally caught up to you, old hag."
"What was that you little shit?" The woman furiously rubbed her knuckles between the little Fallen Angels head.
"Ow ow ow! That hurts!" The little girl cried.
"That's the point!"
Ignoring the two Issei began to make his way towards Rias and her peerage.
"I gotta thank you, Rias. Without you I don't think either Raynare or Kalawarner would have gotten away uninjured." The teen said thankfully.
"Hey!" The Fallen Angel sisters yelled, feeling offended. "Like we'd ever have trouble with a bunch of exorcists." Kalawarner said, pausing in punishing her little sister.
"You're welcome Issei but I hope you're going to keep your end of the bargain." She replied. "It's time that I reincarnated the nun." As she was making her way towards the nun Issei went in her way and stopped her.
"Wait. Let me talk to her first. She seems spooked about everything."
Rias looked behind him and saw Raynare comforting the nun. "*Sigh*All right…"
"Thank you and I might also have two other additions." Issei inquired before walking towards Raynare and the nun.
"Huh?"
The teen went towards Raynare and the blonde. He knelt down in front of the girl with a kind smile hoping to set her at ease. "Hey, are you alright?"
"Y-Yes, thank you for rescuing me." The girl bowed deeply.
"My name is Issei and this is Raynare." He pointed to the waving woman next to him. "What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Asia, Asia Argento."
"Asia, huh? That's a pretty name." The teen pushed a lock of her hair, causing a dust of pink to appear on the girls cheeks. The young man not noticing the Fallen Angel beside him giving a small pout. "So do you mind if I ask?"
"What is it?"
"What are you doing here? Raynare mentioned something about you being an excommunicado from the church. Why is that?"
Asia slightly hesitated from the question, then looked down with a solemn expression.
"If you don't want to answer its fine-"
"No…" The nun interrupted. "After rescuing me, you deserve to know." She took a deep breath and looked at the teen with a serious look. "I was exiled from the church for helping a demon."
The statement earned looks of surprise from everyone.
"Wait, what? That's it?" Mittelt confused.
"Yes, they said they didn't want to be held responsible for one of their own going against the teachings of His Holiness. So as a way to stop them from being punished by the Institute, they declared excommunicado on me and sent me off here to Japan."
After hearing the girl's story everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl. As for Issei, he couldn't feel anything but rage. An innocent girl had gotten abandoned by her comrades only because she helped someone, sure they were a demon but that doesn't mean she did anything wrong. 'Damn bastards…' He raged in secret.
"Once again, I am very thankful for all of you for saving me but," Asia stood up. "I must be on my way."
"Wait do you even have a place to stay?" Raynare asked in concern.
"No, but I'll try and make do."
"Then you can stay with me." Rias offered.
"Eh, no you've all done enough for me I wouldn't want to impose."
"Its fine you wouldn't be imposing." Issei placed a hand on her shoulder.
"However, you can stay with me under one condition." The red-head stated.
"Yes." Asia answered.
"You have to become my servant." Rias said with a gentle smile.
"Eh? But I'm with the church and you're a demon." The nun panicked.
Issei stopped her. "Actually that's why she came in the first place but we won't force you it's completely up to you." He assured as he doesn't want to force someone doing something they don't feel comfortable with. "If you don't want to we'll help find a place for you to stay until we can find you a better home away from all this."
The blonde gave it more thought and asked the teen. "Will I meet you again if I agree?" She asked with a small tint of pink on her face.
"Well, I have my own place but we'll be members of the same club so we'll meet from time to time."
"I see," She said in glee. "Then I'll do it."
"Excellent, I look forward to working with you." Rias said.
"As am I," Asia bowed deeply. "I'll be under you're care."
"Oh and one more thing Rias…" Issei said before walking to Raynare and Kalawarner. "Ray, Kalawarner-san, I want you to join Rias' peerage." He requested.
"B-but why?" Raynare worried, but inside she was panicking. 'Why does he want me join her? Does he not want me around? Is he still mad because I tried to kill him? Or is it because I asked to sleep with him last night?' As she was thinking that she jumped as she felt a hand on her shoulder turning to see her sister.
"Relax, he doesn't hate you." Kalawarner whispered, knowing what her sister was thinking. Then turned to the demi-drake. "So, why do you want us to join her peerage?"
"If Dohnaseek was the type of person willing to betray and kill you two. It's not a stretch to say he reported to the Grigori saying you two betrayed him and plan on betraying the organization." He theorized. "She can keep you safe as long as you're a part of her peerage. This way if I'm not around, she can help and protect you both."
"True, I can see that bastard do something like that." Raynare said. She turned towards her sister who was not looking happy.
"I don't want to be a servant of some spoiled princess." Kalawarner declared with crossed arms.
Rias walked over to them and tried to help Issei convince the two to join her. "I'm not spoiled and you don't need to worry about how you're treated. My family is known to treat our servants like family." She explained.
"Can I stay with Issei?" Raynare requested, trying to hide a blush.
"Of course you can. I won't take you away from him." Rias assured her. "You can be a free piece so you won't always have to be around me."
"In that case, make me one to." Kalawarner requested.
"As you wish." The red-head agreed.
Now with everyone's permission, Rias reincarnated Asia with a bishop piece and both Fallen Angels with four pawn pieces for each.
After everything had been settled. "Alright, I think it's time for everyone to head home." Issei suggested.
"You're right. I'll see you tomorrow at school Issei." Replied Rias as she and her peerage, minus Raynare and Kalawarner, teleported away with a magic circle.
"Wait, Issei-sama." Raynare stopped.
"What?" The teen asked.
"We have something to take care of first." Kalawarner pointed to their elfin sister.
Raynare and Kalawarner ran up to Mittelt to see where she was heading.
"Mittelt, where are you going?" Raynare asked.
"I'm not sure. I might just go back to the Grigori." Mittelt replied.
"Why don't you come live with us instead?" Kalawarner suggested. "I don't think Issei would mind. Do you, Issei?"
"No not at all. I think I have an extra room for her." The young man agreed.
"It's settled then! Mittelt is going to live with us now!" Raynare exclaimed happily.
"A-alright then if you insist, I'll gladly live with you guys." Mittelt thanked.
"Then it's settled, why don't we go get you settled in." Kalawarner said.
"You three go back to the house, I'll take care of things here." The teen requested.
"All right, don't take too long." Raynare grabbed his hand and blushed. "And be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." He reassured.
The Fallen Angel walked back towards her sisters. The Fallen Angel trio went back up the stairs then outside the church, they unfurled their wings and made their way back to the house to get their new resident settled in. When they were finally a good distance in the air.
"So is he your boyfriend?" Mittelt asked Raynare with a smug smirk.
"No!" Raynare quickly said with her face looking almost like a tomato.
"Then why'd you gripped his hand so tightly?" Kalawarner joined in.
"I just told him to be careful."
"As a friend or a girlfriend?" The petite blonde said.
"Uuugghh!" Raynare groaned covering her face with her hands.
The two teasing her all the way back.
Back at the church, Issei stood in the middle of the bloodied floor. Scanning around the room.
[What are you doing?] Ddraig asked.
"Searching?" Issei said.
(Searching for what?) Albion curious.
Just when the white dragon asked that.
"RAAAAAA!" An injured exorcist charged behind Issei with a small dagger.
"That!" The teen turned and grabbed the man by his neck and slammed him to the ground.
"*Cough*Bastard…" The heavily injured man coughed blood. "I'll…*cough*…kill you…"
"Come on be realistic." Issei mocked. "Now where's Kokabiel?" He asked.
"Who…?"
"Kokabiel! Now where is he?!" The young man slammed him on the ground.
The exorcist grunted and coughed more blood. "*Cough*I don't know…"
"Don't lie to me." Issei tightened his grip.
The man gagged. "I swear…*cough*…I don't know…"
"Rrrgghh!" Issei gritted his teeth while tightening his grip on the man's throat.
"Augh…augh…wait, wait…I know where he will be…" The man managed to spit out.
"Where?"
"T-The s-school… where the Gremory heir and Sitri heir stay at…"
"Kuoh? What is he going to do there?" Issei asked.
"I-I don't know…" Just as the teen was about to finish him off. "But I definitely know he's going to be there soon."
"Hmm, good enough. You're free." The teen said sarcastically while letting the exorcist go and standing up.
"R-reall-" The man was about to ask but unfortunately his head was smashed with the demi-drakes foot, leaving a bloody mess.
After the exchange Issei made his way out the door.
(I thought you said he was 'free'?) The white dragon asked.
"I did," The teen replied. "From his misery."
[Hmm,] The red dragon shrugged. [So what do you think Kokabiel's gonna do at the school?]
"It doesn't matter." Issei angrily stated. "When I see him I'm gonna kill him and finally have my revenge."
(The time has finally come.)
[Revenge for our grandchildren.] The two Heavenly dragons not wanting to wait for vengeance for their family, but not as much as the young man.
"And no one is going to stop me." The young man declared.
(And we won't let anyone get in the way.)
'Can I count on you two?'
[Of course, we want this as much as you do.]
'Good.' He thought as he unfurled his wings and rose to the sky until he was just above the church. 'Now, let's clear this place out.' He raised an arm to the sky making a large magic circle. It was charging up and when it gathered enough energy he swung his hands down and shot the blast towards the church. The next second the church blew up, causing a big explosion. Luckily there were no signs of inhabitants nearby and was far enough from any populated areas. When there was nothing left of the church except rubble and a large crater, Issei opened another large magic circle a large pile of dirt fell on top covering the hole till it was filled.
"Right that should avoid any suspicions." The demi-drake dusted his hands and flew away from the spot. "Time for us to head home." Mid-flight he was thinking and getting jittery as he was about to finally find his parents killer all his life he has been preparing for this moment. For now he was looking forward to some down time. 'Today was an eventful day. What's gonna happen tomorrow?'
And that's that hope you all enjoyed it. Now about Mittelt joining the harem let me assure you she's not a loli I mean they don't mention anything about her age so she's fine.
