Beta: Draco 1127

"/" Talking

It was several years since Issei's screams of pain echoed throughout the church in Russia. From that day all the way up to now, Issei still blames Kai for that beating he got from the small blond girl that was his roommate. Though he didn't know it then, but that small little blond girl and him will be one of the best fighters on Angel's side of the Christian pantheon.

During his years of living in Russia, Issei learned how to speak and read the said country language, he was taught all of its history, culture and the God's teaching.

Issei was also taught how to use his sword, the Stormbringer, and how to use his Sacred Gear of course with Indraugnird's help. And some in the Orthodox church started calling him a prodigy swordmaster for his fast learning and grace when he held the said legendary weapon that was said it brought terror to those foolish enough to come across it in a fight. Issei after being trained by Ivan with Kai's and Mirana's help managed to beat almost everyone he crossed his blade with, the only ones he couldn't beat was his instructor, Kai who he viewed as an older brother and Mirana who after sharing a room for several years, started to have a soft spot in his heart for the cute and shy blond that loved to tease the shit out of him and make him blush every time she got the chance.

It wasn't uncommon for Issei and Mirana to be seen taking a walk, talking, laugh or just guffing around in their free time but it was also clear that no one could even lay a finger on Mirana since Issei was extremely territorial towards her and anyone who tried anything with her. And to some it was like a dragon defending his treasure that was priceless to him.

But the same could be said for Mirana as she clearly showed that any other female exorcists who tried to flirt with Issei were in a way threatened by the blond as she also started to have feelings for the boy that was showing her kindness even after her beating him almost to a pulp and managing to break her shell that she was constanly surrounded by (metaphorically speaking). Her shy nature which was her trademark was still present but when she was with him, her shy nature was replaced with a more teasing and bold one and seeing him blush to her words or deeds was something that in her opinion was making him even cuter and desirable. And today was no different as Mirana was in her teasing mood while they were having their midday break before separating for their training schedule and class.

"Uh...Mirana you really need to stop doing this!" Yelped the now 15 year old Issei as he was trying, but failing, in getting free from the 16 year old Mirana who was hugging him hard while pressing her impressively growing breasts to his side while her head was on his shoulder.

"Never!" Mirana told him cutely as she started to pat his head with affection while pressing herself even more into Issei who was blushing from embarrassment even more. He would admit that he found her body very attractive and her smile adorable.

He will never admit it out loud but after spending years with her in the same room and watching her body transform from the small cute girl to a very beautiful teen with the body that would put every female to shame he saw so far, he started to have some pervert thoughts about her, but he always managed to keep them in himself as he was afraid of gettung the beat down he got when he first entered their room, but he was sure that Mirana also knew that and that she was torturing him just for fun.

"Why are you torturing me like this?" Issei asked as she just giggled and whispered in his ear making him shiver a bit.

"Because I love seeing your cute embarrassed face much more than that straight face you have usually." Mirana answered him before kissing his cheek and standing up readying to go to her class. While Issei blushed madly at her affection making her giggle again.

She was really wondering when he would get used to her kissing him every once in a while, even though it was always to the cheek he would always blush so much that she would have a hard time to hold the laughter in her. He saw her in almost every way posible from battle and training clothes to underwear and she was at first freaked out when she saw his member almost tearing his pants but later learned that it was because he found her attractive and hot which made her happy.

"Yeah yeah, you just like to torture me..." Issei told her still red as he also stood up.

"Aww, Ise you really think I would hurt my adorable and cute roommate?" Mirana exclaimed in a fake hurt voice as she put both her hands over her heart while having a cute pouting face that was almost irresistible for Ise not to give in.

"That won't work you know, I know that you are waiting for an opportunity to make me even more embarrassed or worse." Issei told her firmly while crossing his arms as he was trying very hard not to give in as she started to give him a sad puppy look with her gray eyes making it like she was about to cry.

"Awww Ise you are really wounding me now, what have I ever done to you that would make you think like that?" Mirana asked in fake hurt voice again while getting closer to Ise with her lips twitching a bit to make him feel guilty as he 'hurt' her feelings.

Though while most men would feel a bit guilty Issei wasn't like most as he knew her game and for some odd reason it was something that he was enjoying as they would later laugh it off. But now was not the time for their game as the classes would start and they would be in serious trouble.

"As much as I would like for us to continue this Mira, we really should get going or will be in trouble again." Issei said as Mirana just pouted cutely again before she smirked a bit.

"Aww, okay, but you are treating me to some Ice Cream latter." She told him making him smile and nod.

"Sure."

With that, both of them separated and went to class, though throughout the classes the information was announced that both Issei and Mirana need to report to the Head Priest quarters. With the go both of them left their classes and went to the assained place.

Entering the Mihailo's quarters they were greeted by Mihailo who was sitting at the large table and when he saw them couldn't help but smile warmly to the two kids that he saw as his own.

"Enter and take a sit you two. There is something that we need to discuss. And don't worry it isn't anything that bad." Mihailo told them in a soft and gentle voice as he saw the worried that they might screw things up which knowing them wouldn't be the first time.

"Then what do we owe the honor of you calling for us Father Mihailo." Issei asked as he and Mirana took the sits near each other at the same table.

"Ah, yes I forgot that you always ho straight to the point. Very well I will tell you both. Heaven is having some trouble with some stray priests and some low-class angels that recently have fallen out of grace for reasons that are not to be discussed. Your mission is to capture or eliminate all that won't come back peacefully. The information that was provided to us is that they are somewhere near the Vatican/Constantinople border near the town of Krakow, you got the permission from Heaven to if need enter the Vatican's territory to do the mission. If need be, you can call for help at any time and the nearest church will send you the aid. Understood? You will leave in 2 days. Better get packing for it." Mihailo brief them on it making them go wide eyes from it.

After all, the training was one thing but the real deal was something else, and while they been to a few missions they where always watchers on standby, but this time they were going in alone and to the border of their domain. It was nerve-wracking, to say the least for them and Mirana was the one to voice it.

"B-but Father Mihailo, are you sure it is wise to send us 2 to do it, I'm not saying that we are not capable, but..." Mirana wanted to say more but Mihailo stopped her with his hand.

"Yes I'm sure it would go without any trouble, you 2 are the best youth exorcist we have here and it would be good for both of you to gain much needed experience in the field as training will get you to a point where you will suffer in a battle and with this being an easy mission you will gain far more from it. And to make sure you succeed I will contact the Constantinople and ask for them to see if the Vatican can send someone also who is in need of some experience." Mihailo answered her making her bit her lips before she looked over to Issei who just softly sigh before nodding his head making her heavy sigh.

"If you say so, I think it would be good to have one more person joining us if it okay with you Father Mihailo." Issei spoke with respect making the old man nod before dismissing them.

"Good then I will call you before your departure for final information, you are excused from class in the meantime, enjoy your time before mission." Mihailo told them making them nod before they left leaving him alone with his thoughts.

As they exited the main church building both Mirana and Issei were quiet as they were in their thoughts about this mission that was assained to them.

Like how Mirana said they were not strangers to missions but they were always kept back like the last resource if the situation was extremely dire but this was very much different, it was the first time that they were sent to do a mission without any senior priest or exorcist to help them, they were in a true sense of the word alone.

As they continued to walk in silence they were meet with none other than Kai who was now having his period off and was just walking around the grounds to pass the time. Seeing them Kai smiled before he frowned seeing the solemn look on their faces, deciding to find what made them look so serious Kai approached them slowly.

"Now what do we have here? My little brother and his beautiful girlfriend. What happened to you to 2 to look so serious? You had a fight again" Kai shyly asked them startling them before they registered what he said about the making them blush.

"B-big brother, we are not dating we are just friends." Issei answered quickly, though the thought of him and Mirana being together has crossed his mind a few times but he rejected that idea as he was sure that Mirana would be better off with someone that is much better than him.

"Y-yes, we are just...friends nothing more." Mirana also chipped in but there was a small tone of disappointment that she was just a friend to him and not something much more.

While how Mirana said and with what tone she managed to say it passed over Issei it was another matter to Kai, he could clearly see the longing in Mirana's voice that was present as he knew that the blond hair beauty was having a hard time controlling herself not wanting to mess the friendship and in fear of it ruining it with him.

Kai was sure that he needed to talk to his little brother figure about opening his eyes a bit for the feeling about the girl next to him that was slowly falling more and more in love with the youth. He was honestly surprised that he didn't claim Mirana when he reached puberty, as his dragon side was clearly stronger since as they saw the girls swarming Issei with their attempts to be with him. And from the looks of things Mirana was the one most affected by his aura and it clearly showed by how territorial she would become when Issei was in a presence of another girl.

Deciding to talk go his little bro later Kai just nodded for now.

"Okay and now what is it with those faces?" Kai asked again.

"That would be us going alone on a mission were we would need to capture or kill stray priests or exorcists with a few Low-Class angels that are now Fallen." Issei responded to Kai's question making the said man just sigh.

"Ah, I see what is the problem." Kia spoke making the duo look at him strangely prompting a chuckle from the said man.

"And what is the problem then?" Mirana asked wanting to know.

"Its simple really. You would need to most likely kill and since you guys are still Virgin in that it will be hard for you, that is what is making you feel uncomfortable in the back of your mind. Also, the chance of one of you getting hurt is another thing that is also making you uneasy. I should know I was doing the same task as you guys are doing now and it wasn't easy." Kai explained it to them making them widen their eyes before looking at each other quickly before averting their gaze while having red cheeks.

"Now with that done, why don't we hang a bit, I'm bored and I would be very much glad to have you 2 to make me some company. Provided that you 2 don't start making out in front of me." Kia said cheekily making the duo have steam coming from their ears as they glared at Kai who chuckled until Issei bought his Stormbringer, which glowed light blue as clouds started to gather as Mirana formed 2 light swords with intent to make Kai into a cobob, who started to pale a bit and slowly back away from the duo.

"N-Now n-now g-guys take it easy...I-I w-as only joking..." Kai stuttered as Issei slowly lifted his blade up while thunder was heard and a lightning bolt hit near Kai's feet making him look at him with wide eyes, though he really started to be scared for his well being when Mirana spoke.

"Kai...if you wanna live ...R.U.N!" She yelled as both Issei and her charged at Kai who started running as hell away from the enraged couple as possible.

2 days have passed since Mirana and Issei learned that they would be sent to do a mission and now they were in their battle gear ready to go to Poland to do it. Though before heading off they went to Mihailo to hear the latest info he had to give them before going.

Clearing his throat Mihailo looked at the 2 youths in front of him and was pleased to see them ready to do a possibly dangerous mission. They where in the regular church battle suits with Mirana in what can be said was a latex suit that covered her entire body showing off her gourgues curves and Issei in his priest clothes that were instead of white in light blue color to symbolized the dragon that was like a father to him.

"Well, I have some good news and some bad. What do you want to here first my children?" Mihailo asked them making them look at each other before Issei spoke.

"Good news first sir."

"Well good news is that the Vatican is sending someone to help you, they said that she is a prodigy also and has a powerful and very useful gear that may help a lot." Mihailo said making them smile.

"That is good Father Mihailo." Mirana spoke making him nod before he frowned a bit making the duo gulp a bit.

"The bad news is that the Vatican already sent her to Poland and lost track of her, your mission was altered a bit, you need to save her and make sure that she is alive at any cost while capturing or killing the infidels. Her name is Jeanne d'Arc" Mihailo solemnly told them while giving them the picture of the said girl as they saw her.

She looked similar in some parts like Mirana with beautiful blond hair, gouges hourglass figure that could be seen from the photo and had baby blue eyes and a beautiful smile on her face. She was seen in the photo wearing a battle suit with a rapier in her hand with the photo being full body one.

"W-What? How?" They explained in shock.

"Sadly yes that is what I got from them, from the looks of things she was ambushed and captured, you need to hurry. The helicopter is waiting for you, it will drop you at her last location. God bless you and good luck." Mihailo said as the duo said they goodbye's and sprinted towards the helicopter to get to the location as fast as possible.

Done.
