Issei's First day at school went normally. He made new friends, talked to everyone and everyone seemed to like him. He even befrended many of his juniors and seniors. He was liked all around the school. He was also good at sports. Of course, he was holding back severely, but even then he was probably the best player in every sport which was played in the school. He was immediately a superstar on the first day of school. The girlsnwere all over him, much to the displeasure of a handful of guys, although even the guys liked him as he was a cool guy to be around.

As Issei already knew everything done in class, he was also excellent at studies. The teachers liked him as well.

"Yo Issei, are you free today? If you are, can you come to my house today? I want to show you some things I only show guys who I believe are worthy to be my comrade." Said a guy who had glasses.

"Yeah, what he said." Said another guy who was slightly bald.

"You two better not go around corrupting Issei." Said Katase angrily.

"Hey, you mind your own buisness." Said the spectacled guy.

"These two are Motohama and Matsuda, the two great perverts of the school." Said Murayama who was with Katase.

"Yes, and we admit it proudly." Said Motohama.

"We are teenage boys and this is our nature, we should embrace it." Said Matsuda.

"Heh….I like your enthusiasm, but I'm not really interested in those things." Said Issei, much to both of the perverts' displeasure. "However, if you consider me worthy, I would like to be your friend." Issei said, much to both of the girls' displeasure.

"Hmm…..I guess it will be nice to have a non-perverted friend." Said Motohama with a thinking face.

"Agreed " Said Matsuda.

"Alright then, I've decided that you are worthy to be my non-perverted friend." Said Motohama.

Issei just smiled at them while the girls had their jaw hit the ground. Matsuda and Motohama went of saying that they had 'work to do'.

"You really managed to befriend those 2 without being a pervert, I have really seen it all." Said Katase.

"Anyways, I'll be off, see you two tomorrow?" asked Issei.

"Sure" both of them replied.

On the way back, he noticed a girl on the side rails of a bridge he needed to cross to go back to his house. She seemed depressed.

"[Do both of you sense her aura?]" asked Ddraig.

"{Fallen Angel.}" replied Albion.

"She also seems really depressed, like she lost her beloved dog or something." Said Issei.

"{I would say that it would be unwise to converse with her, but knowing you….}" Albion started.

"[You never listen, so go ahead, I'm also kinda curious]" said Ddraig.

Issei walked up to the girl.

"You ok over there?" Issei asked the girl while waving her hand.

The girl looked towards Issei. At first, she seemed extremely scared, it was like she was being hunted by Issei. She started hyperventilating and her heart started beating really fast.

"Woah woah" said Issei as she got near her and held her shoulders. "I'm not gonna do anything. I was just asking you as you seemed extremely depressed."

The girl managed to recompose herself. "N-n-no, it's nothing, thank you for asking…." Said the girl with a slight blush. Issei could tell that the blush was half-real.

"Interesting" he thought.

"Are you new here? I usually know people who are from here." Asked Issei.

"Y-yes, I am new here. My name is Amano Yuma." Said the girl, now known as Yuma.

"Hyoudou Issei, nice to meet you." Said Issei, while holding out his hand.

Yuma blushed, this blush was mostly real, and held out her hand to shake his hand.

"I guess I will see you around?" Said Issei.

"Y-yes." Said Yuma.

Issei waved at Yuma and walked away.

"{I really don't trust her…}" Said Albion in a harsh tone.

"Relax Albion, even if she were to fight me, even though she seemed like a strong fallen angel, I don't think she could stand a chance against me." Issei told Albion in his head.

"[You should know, partner, that Albion is the one that worries and I am the one that encourages you to do the stuff which Albion is worried about. It would be really interesting to see where this goes.]" Said Ddraig, while slightly chuckling at the first part.

"{I always wonder why fate decided that it was a good idea to put both of us in a single host.}" Said Albion while cutting the link between him and the other 2.

"He's mad" Said Issei.

"[Ehh I'm used to it]" Said Ddraig.

Issei continued his way home until he was at his doorstep. He rang the bell and was immediately greeted by his mother.

"So, how was your first day?" She asked Issei.

"More interesting than what I initially thought." Replied Issei.

His mother was confused and raised an eyebrow. Issei motioned his mother to wait until his father was also there. All 3 of them gathered in the dining room and Issei started explaining what happened.

"So, sisters of both Sera-chan and Sirzechs were in this school…and you met a fallen angel?" asked his dad.

"Yeah" Replied Issei

"Why didn't you tell Sona that you were tutored by her sister?" Asked Issei's mom.

"Well…it would not be the best thing to go out revealing that I'm a dragon. Both of them will think that I'm some sort of strong being and start treating me like that." Replied Issei.

Both his parents later agreed that Issei did the right thing. They were not that worried with Yuma and they knew that Issei would undoubtedly win in that face off, if they had one.


{Scene Change}

Issei was now at his bed, when he sensed something.

"A new sacred heart wielder has entered the town huh…."

"{Hmmm, by the feel it's probably Twilight healing.}"

"[A pretty rare sacred gear]"

"Let's just hope they are not an enemy…"

With this, Issei fell asleep.


{Scene Change}

"Sona, did you meet the new student, Issei?" Asked a crimson read headed girl.

"Yeah, I did, why do you ask?" Replied a black haired girl.

Sona and Rias were in a steam room, talking to each other. This was a regular routine for them, and usually their Queens were with them as well. However, this time, both their Queens were busy so they decided to have the meeting alone.

"He seemed….a little abnormal. Not in the sense that he was physically challenged or that he was a rude person, in the contrary, he was actually really nice, but in the sense that, I don't know, he just didn't seem normal, even though there was more than enough evidence to prove otherwise." Replied Rias.

"His aura was completely human. There wasn't any noticeable supernatural powers that he possessed. So, he should be normal." Said Sona. "However, I did also feel that something was abnormal about him. We might have to keep an eye on him."

"Agreed, Sona."


{Scene Change}

Issei's next day at school went normally. He knew everything, he was able to carry his team in sports, he talked to many people, all the girls were fawning over him, saw the kendo club girls best up Matsuda and Motohama. So, basically nothing new. At the end of the school day, he said his goodbyes and left. As he approached the bridge he usually crossed, he saw Yuma. She was seemingly waiting for someone.

"Hey, Yuma!" He waved at the Violet-eyed girl.

"Oh, Hello Issei." She waved back at him. She had a light blush on her, which he could tell was half-real, half-fake.

"Were you waiting for someone?" Said Issei, smiling.

"Actually, I was waiting for you." Said Yuma. She looked up at Issei, but as she looked at his smile, she looked away with a genuine blush.

"For me? Ok, well…I'm here now I guess." Said Issei. He didn't know why she was waiting for him.

"Y-yes." Said Yuma. "Well, yesterday…after you talked to me, I felt like someone finally cared for me. Everytime someone tried to get close to me, they had other motives, which were not genuine. But you were ab exception. Even though I was a complete stranger, you cared enough to ask me if I was ok….and I felt something then... So, I know that we don't know each other that well, but, if you don't already have someone, would you like to go out with me?"

Issei was taken aback by the sudden confession. On a date? But they barely knew each other. Something was definitely going on.

"{Don't do it.}"

"[Do it.]"

"Sure, why not? But mind you, I will be aiming to be your boyfriend by the end of the date." Issei had a smirk on his face.

Yuma was as red as a tomato. Issei could tell this was genuine.

"O-o-o-k-k w-w-what ab-b-bout th-h-is-s s-s-Sunday?" Yuma stuttered more than a car with a faulty ignition.

"Sure" Said Issei with a warm smile. "I'll see you day after tomorrow then."

Both of them waved each other goodbye and then went off on their own separate ways.

"{You are so stupid.}"

"[You are an absolute god.]"

"Heh, guess I'm going on a date on Sunday."


{Scene Change}

Issei was on his way back home. He was thinking about the sport event in school which was going to happen next week, when she heard a sudden 'Yelp!'

He turned around and saw a girl in nun clothes toppled over. Although Issei was not into these things, he couldn't help feel aroused when he saw the girls underwear. He was, after all, a 17 year old teenager. He shook his head and went to help the girl. He helped the girl get back on her feet.

"Are you ok?" Issei asked.

"Yes, thank you very much." Said the girl.

"[So this is the Twilight Healing user]"

"{Exorcist?}"

"I don't think so"

This conversation was going on in Issei's head, while the girl said…

"Umm…I'm new here, can you please help me to find the church in this place?"

"Oh…sure" Replied Issei.

"Thank you very much. Thank you fate for bringing me to such a kind person." Said the girl.

Issei could only smile awkwardly at this comment.

"I am Asia Argento." Said the girl, now known as Asia

"Hyoudou Issei. Nice to meet you, I suppose you are not from here?" asked Issei

"No, I'm not." Said Asia. She looked down in despair for a moment but then looked up and smiled at Issei.

"Come on, let's take you to the church." Said Issei.

"Thank you so much, Issei-san." Replied Asia.

"{I definitely DO trust her}"

"[She looks so innocent. I just want to protect her no matter the cost.]"

"I agree with both of you."


{Scene Change}

As Issei and Asia were moving to the church, Issei felt something. He was immediately on guard.

A few minutes later, a figure could be seen ahead.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" Shouted Issei, while he got in front of Asia.

"Well well, lookes like someone trained their sense organs." Said the figure.

"Father Freed!? What are you doing her?." Said Asia.

"Well Asia, I'm just here to pick you up, and kill whatever trash is with you right now." Replied Freed.

"What! No, Issei-san is a kind and helpful person, he would never hurt anyone." Said Asia.

"Well Asia, that's the job of an exorcist. To kill whoever isn't devoted to god. And now Asia, this will be your first mission as an exorcist, KILL THIS PILE OF TRASH." Freed shouted.

"No, I won't, Issei-san is a kind person, I could never do anything to him." Said Asia.

"Well then, looks like I'll have to do this instead." Said Freed.

Issei got into his fighting stance, and was going to let out his aura, but as he did that, a red circle opened up next to Asia, and out from it came out Rias Gremory and her group.

"Freed, you have been killing innocent devils who were just doing their jobs. For this, I have been ordered to execute you." Said Rias.

"Well, I thought that boy was trash, but now we have actual devil trash." Said Freed.

"Issei?" Rias looked back to see Issei, and she was surprised.

Issei nodded at Rias, motioning to her that he will explain everything later.

Freed attacked Rias but was cut off by Koneko's punch which threw him back. Kiba later swung his sword at Freed to counter his sword. Akeno from the back shot out a bolt of lighting which knocked back Freed. But Freed seemed unscathed. The Gremory Group was surprised, as they put quite a bit of power in their attacks.

Freed started laughing maniacally.

"Is that all you got?" said Freed before he started laughing again.

All of them put more power into their attacks, but again, Freed didn't even have a scratch on him.

"How are our attacks not damaging him!?" Exclaimed Akeno.

Freed then went to take Asia, but was cut off by Issei.

"You are not taking Asia, Freed." Stated Issei.

"I wonder why you are so protective of a nun who isn't even that strong." Said Freed who proceeded to grab Asia, but Issei cut him off again, and punched him on his gut.

Freed started coughing up a lot of blood, but he kept on chuckling in between the coughs.

"I will die if I keep going, this piece of trash is holding back extremely, yet in one punch I'm nearly knocked out. I guess I'll have to kill the person who got me into this." He said.

Freed looked at Asia with a maniacal smile. In fractions of a second, Freed dashed at Asia with his sword and pierced her gut with it.

She could only gasp before she fell on the floor.

Issei's eyes widened as Asia fell on the floor. She was a kind girl who didn't do anything wrong other than help people. But, for doing what she was supposed to do, she got herself exiled, and in this moment….killed.


{Flashback}

While Issei and Asia were walking towards the church….

"So, what brings you here Asia?" Issei asked the blonde nun.

"Oh…uhm…." She seemed a little uncomfortable, but their attention diverted to the sound of a boy crying.

"Oh dear!" said Asia before running to the boy.

The boy was sobbing and couldn't say anything as his knee was hurt, but Asia knew that the boy fell while playing in the field.

"There there, it's fine, I'll help you." Said the nun before putting her hands on the bruise. A green light came out of her hands. As she removed her hands from the boy's knee, the bruise was completely gone, as if it never existed.

"See? All better." Said Asia while smiling towards the boy.

"Thank you so much, Onee-chan." Said the boy happily as he then ran off to his parents.

"Twilight Healing is a really handy sacred gear eh?" Said Issei as Asia came back towards Issei.

Her eyes widened. "H-h-h-h-h-h-how d-d-d-d-d-d…" she stuttered. She started backing up from Issei and also started trembling in fear.

"Woah woah.." Issei said before going up to Asia and hugging her tightly. "I would never hurt you. I know about the supernatural, I posses sacred gears myself." Issei said.

Asia was shocked initially, but later warmed up to the hug and proceeded to hug him back. She started to form tears in her eyes as she hugged Issei.

"Thank you…" she whispered.

After they broke the hug, they continued walking towards the church and she was about the answer Issei's initial question.

"I have spent my whole life at a church." She started. "Immediately as I was born, everyone sensed my sacred gear. They were overjoyed and treated me like some sort of special deity. I have been told to heal all people since I was very young. And I did that every time I saw someone wounded. I was never allowed to leave the church and I was told to use my healing powers in the ground of the church which would heal everyone. Since I never left the church, I had no friends and I never went to school. This was all fine for me as I had never seen the outside world and no one told me the wonders of the outside world. However, on fateful day, I saw a person with black devil wings. He was bleeding out like crazy, and I saw that he had winds in many places. He wasn't quite 'inside' the church but he was in the church vicinity, which I was allowed to go to but I didn't go there much. I went there and healed the devil. He thanked me and offered to take me with him. I was about to answer but people of the church arrived at the scene. They chased the devil away and outcastes me for being able to heal devil's, they called me a witch." Asia started crying as she said the last sentence

Issei winced at the story. A maiden outcastes fir doing her goddamn job? This was ridiculous.

He hugged Asia again. "Hey, you said you didn't have friends right?" she nodded. "well then, I would be your first friend if you like." Asia's eyes widened, but then her face lit up. She started hugging Issei even harder. "Yes! I would love for you to be my first friend!" She started sobbing even harder, but this time, it was tears of joy.

Issei could only smile awkwardly at this. After they broke the hug, they continued walking towards the church. This time, Asia stuck with Issei the whole time.

"I will always protect you Asia"

{Flashback end}


Those words kept ringing inside Issei's head

Issei's hair covered his eyes. The amount of killing intent coming out from Issei was suffocating. He managed to keep in his aura, somehow, as if he let out his complete aura, the 3 factions would more than notice it.

"HehehHAHAHAHAH! NOW THAT GOOD FOR NOTHING MAIDEN IS DEAD! NOW WHAT, YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO HEA-*Gasp*" Freed was cut off from his maniacal monologue by Issei. He was grasping his neck.

"A scum like you doesn't deserve a quick death, but I'm really not in the mood" said Issei in a really dark voice. The Gremory group was already shocked from the events that preceded this, but now, to say they were scared would be an understatement. It was a miracle they didn't piss their pants already.

Issei snapped Freed's head and practically disintegrated his body to nothingness. He walked towards Asia's lifeless body, picked it up, hugged it and started sobbing. Issei had never felt this type of pain. He was well accustomed to physical pain, but mental pain was something he never experienced. He walked towards the Gremory Group with Asia's body in his hands.

"please…save her…..i…..cant….use….an evil piece…..please…..i beg you…I'll do anything." Issei was crying desperately. He could only remember the words he said to Asia, "I will always protect you Asia", and how he failed to do that on the first day they met.

The Gremory Group could only look at the amount of pain going through Issei right now. They all sympathized with Issei. They had felt similar feelings, so they knew what Issei was going through right now.

"Very well… I will reincarnate her into my peerage as a bishop." Said Rias, hesitating a bit. "I will only ask you to not attack out territory." Rias was too afraid to ask if anything else.

"Done….." Issei said in a hollow voice. He would never hurt the town he loved dearly.

Rias brought out a bishop piece from a magic circle and placed it on Asia. She said a spell which put the bishop piece inside Asia.

"She will be unconscious for a few hours, but she will wake up a devil. I suggest leaving her at our place for a bit, changing a human into a devil is quite a process, that is, of course, if you are ok with it." Said Rias, still hesitating to even talk to Issei.

"I will leave her in your care, just, please….." Issei started…until he felt a hand in his shoulders.

"We promise to make her ok again….a devil's promise." Said Akeno.

Issei couldn't help himself. He immediately hugged Akeno tightly.

"Thank you….." he whispered. He conveniently failed to notice Akeno blushing up a storm.

After he let go, he bowed to the group. He then turned towards Asia. "I'm sorry, I failed you. But never again will I fail you. I will always protect you…..even if it costs my life."

Rias picked up Asia from Issei. Issei turned his back towards the group, and summoned his dragon wings. The group was to surprised to even gasp.

"I hope that answers some of your questions." With that, he flew off back to his house. He was way to tired and depressed to even tell his parents what happened, and immediately went to bed.

"Never again will I fail you"


I am really proud of this chapter, I still have to improve my writing, but I think I have really improved. Anyways, I hope you like this chapter as much as I did :) (BTW, Female Vali maybe?). As usual, constructive criticism is always appreciated
