"Are you alright lady?" Issei asked with a warming smile.

"Uh.. uh yes I'm alright." As the blond haired girl looked at Issei she felt a powerful and dark presence that made her shutter.

"Are you okay?" Issei asks after noticing that.

"Yes I'm fine just cold." She lied to him.

"Here take my jacket." Issei said while giving her his black leather jacket.

"Thank you." She said with a slight blush. "Although I feel this energy coming off him he seems like a pretty nice person." She thought to herself.

"So what are you doing out here anyways?" Issei asked.

"Oh well I am actually on my way to the church here but I got lost trying to get there." She replies.

"I'm assuming since you said you were lost here that means you are new to Kuoh?" Issei asks her.

"Yes I am. I was actually excommunicated from my last church at my old town for healing a devil so I decided to come here." She replied with a smile on her face.

Issei looked upset for the girl after hearing that. "I'm sorry you had to go through that, my name is Issei Hyoudou by the way." He told the girl.

"Hi Issei, my.. my name is Asia Argento." She said stuttering in embarrassment.

"Well Asia, before you head to the church, would you like to hang out for a little bit?" Issei asked Asia with a smile.

Asia nodded with a huge blush on her face. They then started to make their way down the street when all of a sudden they heared a kid scream. The two look toward the direction of the scream when they saw a little boy crying underneath a tree.

Asia runs over to him as Issei follows right behind her. "Are you okay?" The maiden asked the crying boy.

The boy didn't say anything but just continued to cry and pointed at his knee where there was a huge scrape.

Asia started comforting the boy "You are a big boy there is no reason to cry it's just a little scrape, here let me help you." She said as she started healing the boy.

Issei noticed the green light coming out of her hands as the wound started healing. [I don't like healers .] Thanatos started, [They defy the rules of death. They can heal wounds that would normally kill a mere human.]

"Dang sounds like Death is salty just because he can't do anything about it being locked in my mind. Isn't that right Ddraig? Issei mused.

{You are indeed correct partner.} Ddraig said laughing.

[I hate you both. You are lucky I'm not in a manifested form otherwise you both would be dead.] Thanatos smirked.

Right before Issei could make a comeback Asia came up to him, "All done! You ready to continue on?" She asked him.

Issei just nodded and they both started walking. The first place they ended up was an arcade where Asia won every game and Issei lost them all. Before leaving the arcade Asia ran up to a claw game where she saw cute dragon plushies.

"You like dragons huh?" Issei asked with a grin.

"Yes I do, but I also like stuffed animals, I just haven't been able to get one since my last church kicked me out." She said as a smile ran away from her face.

"Check this out." Issei says as he phases his hand through the class and pulls out one of the stuffed animal dragons.

"Uh Issei are you sure that is okay, it doesn't seem right?" Asia asked with a worried look.

Issei just put his finger over his lips, grabbed her by the hand, and started pulling her while he was laughing. This made Asia giggle. The next place they went to was a pasta restaurant. Half way into their meal Asia had spilled her spaghetti onto her clothes.

"Oh no!" She cries out which earned her a few head turns from other people in the building. "This is bad. I can't go to the church looking like this."

"It's okay, I have an idea just follow me." Issei left the table while leaving behind the money for his bill. Asia was right behind him following as he kept going down the streets of Kuoh. After half an hour they arrived at their destination.

"Lusty Diamond?" Asia asked confused, "What is that?"

"Uhhhhh let's just say it's a hotel… of sorts." Issei replied scratching the back of his neck.

Issei didn't want to take her to a love hotel but it's the closest hotel and he definitely did not want to take her to a laundromat in the public when she doesn't have a change of clothes or his house where his parents would start asking his a bunch of questions. They walk in and are greeted by the lady at the front desk.

"Why aren't you two just a lovely couple? Tell me, how many nights do you guys want?"

"Uh just one night please." Issei said smiling at the lady.

"Alright here is your key for the room and 7B will be the seventh room on the second floor." She said handing them their room key.

Asia was still too flustered about the previous comment to say anything so instead she just followed Issei while blushing.

"Alright looks like this is our room." Issei says as he unlocks the door.

"So uh, what are we doing here Issei?" Asia asks quietly as she is nervous.

"What do you think silly? I brought you here so that way you could change out of those clothes and wash them." Issei replied.

"Oh. Okay. But I don't have any other clothes to put on." Asia said while looking down.

"Oh no worries you can just wear mine until yours finishes getting washed." He said while stripping down.

Seeing Issei's toned body Asia started blushing uncontrollably. "Uh Issei. You think you can turn around while I get changed?" She asks.

"Oh right my bad, I'm sorry." Issei said, "I will wait in the hall for you."

After a few minutes Asia opens the door and lets him know he can come back in.

"Also Issei, what about your clothes?" She asks while receiving another blush she worked so hard to get rid of last time.

"Oh right." He states while looking down, "I almost forgot." Black smoke all of a sudden swirls around Issei until he is fully revealed and is wearing a black shirt, a black leather jacket, black leather pants, and black high boots.

"There we go that is better." He states winking at Asia.


Time Skip | Nighttime

Asia and Issei leave the hotel and start making their way to the church. Once they arrive Issei starts getting a bad feeling and horrible chills.

"Well Goodnight Asia see you around." He says while hugging her.

"Goodnight Issei I'm glad to have made a new friend." She states while running up to him and giving him a big kiss on the cheek.

She then waved goodbye to him as she headed for the church. Issei was frozen with what just happened .


Author's note

Sorry for the short chapter I just wanted to release Issei meeting Asia before we get into our huge next chapter because a lot of things will happen and I didn't wanna make it too long by adding this.
