Chapter 3

For the longest time, Shiro and the blonde girl stared at each, neither making a move to each other. Shiro's thoughts were moving a mile a minute before for he slapped his cheeks, roughly, to snap himself out of his funk. He jogged over to the girl and helped her up. "You okay?" Shiro asked her. "That looked like a bad fall."

"Oh yes. I'm fine thank you." She sweetly responded as she took Shiro's hand and stood up. Shiro was able to get a better look at her and his thoughts from earlier only seemed to double but that was overwhelmed when he noticed the cross around her neck making his skin crawl.

'Should've known she was a Nun from the clothes...but it wouldn't hurt to talk to her...right?' Shiro thought until he noticed that her veil was about to get blown off her head. So he quickly placed his hand on her head, making her flinch for some reason, just as there was a strong gust of wind. He released his hand and smiled at her. "There ya go."

She stared at him before placing her hands on her head and smiled back. "That was very kind of you."

Shiro simply waved her off. "It was nothing." He then to one last look at her before raising an eyebrow. "So tourist or an ethusiastic cosplayer?" He asked her with a grin.

The blonde haired girl looked at Shiro before clasping her hands together and smiled at him. "I'm a little lost actually." She said to him.

"Oh? Where you looking on going?" Shiro asked her and began walking in a direction he assumed she wanted. "Wait don't tell me...you want to head to the church?" Shiro asked her with a smile and gestured to her clothing. "Of course, that's pure speculation on my part. It's just that you're wearing the clothes of the church."

The blonde haired girl looked at Shiro in surprise before she grabbed her suitcase and dashed over to Shiro with a smile. "Oh yes actually. I'm a Nun that has just been asigned to the Church here." She replied with a smile and clapped her hands together with her ever growing infectious smile. "You wouldn't happen to know where it is?" She asked.

Shiro thought for a few seconds, he did in fact know where the Church, about a thirty minute walk from where they were, but the problem was what would happen if he, a Devil, stepped foot in said Church. He didn't want to accidently cause a war between the three factions. 'Ahhh what's the worse that can happen.' "Sure. I'll take you to the Church."

"Oh thank you! I'm Asia Argento."

"Shiro. Shiro Katsura." He replaid and grabbed Asia's hand before bowing low and kissed the back of it causing her to giggle.

"What a gentleman." She giggled which in turn caused Shiro to laugh as well.

"Shall we get going?" He said and gestured for her to follow him.

As they walked, Shiro and Asia made small talk between each other but Shiro's eyes then wondered down to her hands, well it was more like drawn to by some kind of force. Asia seemed to notice this however before she could question him about this, both Shiro and Asia heard the sound of a boy crying nearby. They both stopped and looked to see a small child, crying as he had fallen down and scrapped his knee pretty badly.

"Poor kid...I'm pretty sure the park has first-aid kits nearby." Shiro said to himself as he looked around the general vacinity for the first-aid kits. Normally, they would be on a lamp post or on the side of a restroom but none were nearby and that's when he noticed, out the corner of his eye, Asia quickly jogging over to him. 'What's she doing?' He thought to himself as he followed behind her.

"A big boy like you shouldn't cry over a tiny scrape." She comfortly said to the boy while rubbing his head, it made Shiro think of a mother comforting her child, before she placed both her hands over his knee and then a soft green glow envolped the injury before slowly skin slowly started to reform over the injury.

As Shiro stared in wonder, his right hand suddenly flared in pain causing him to wince and glance over to it.

[Twilight.]

His eyes suddenly went wide as the voice once again spoke to him and again, it was brief. 'That voice again...this time it said 'Twilight'...what does that even mean? Does it have something to do with that glow?' Shiro asked himself before snapping out as Asia stood up, grabbed her bag and turned towards Shiro with a smile.

"All done." She said before joining Shiro's side just as the Mother, or who Shiro presumed was the mother, came over to the boy's side and began seeing if he was okay.

"Momma Momma." The boy energeticly said while pointing over to Asia. "I-I had a big scrape on my knee but that nice lady there made it all better." He said while dragging her over to the two.

The Mother looked between the boy and Asia before her eyes settled on the blonde girl, a soft and tired look was in her eyes. "Is this true?" She asked Asia who simply smiled and nodded. The mother smiled softly and thanked her before taking her son by the hand and they both walked away but just as they were leaving, Shiro's enhanced hearing caught the mother's last words. "What have I told you about talking to strangers?"

Shiro's eye narrowed but he didn't say anything to Asia as it seemed like she didn't hear her parting words. Shiro simply shook his head and lead Asia out of the park before making a left turn and headed in the direction of the local Church. On the way, Shiro wanted to learn more about that 'Twilight' she had but before he could say anything, Asia beat him to the punch.

"You must be surprised?" She asked him, her voice carried a solemn tone to it, even the look she had was one of sadness.

"Not at all." Shiro responded with a smile. "In fact...I wish I had something like that. It would make free-running a whole lot easier and fun if I didn't have to worry about injuries like that." Shiro told her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder while smiling at her. "It's a wonderful gift you have Asia and the fact that you are using it to help people makes it even greater."

"Thank you Shiro. I consider it a blessing and a blessing." She said and sent a beaming smile his way. In Shiro's old school days, he had gotten pretty good and reading emotions, mainly thanks to his mother and 'friends'. He could tell when a person was upset or sad without them showing any signs, he could tell what people who should stay away from and he could also tell when a smile was genuine or not and Asia's smile radiated nothing but sadness.

Shiro narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to ask her why she seemed so...upset until she suddenly perked up causing him to look up and nod in recognition as he saw the source of her joy. The Church. "Well here we are. One Church." He said as both he and Asia stood outside it's gates. Shiro stared at the Church and he just seemed to get lost, a far off look crossed his face. "Ya know...it's strange. I don't think I've ever seen anybody go in there." Shiro said while he continued to stare at the white building...that was until his entire body shivered and a wave of fear washed over him.

[Danger.]

'Thank you voice in my head for telling me something I already gathered.' Shiro responded. If the voice could hear him or if the voice was just his own, he didn't know and didn't care. His eyes were drawn to Asia as she walked past the Church gates before stopping and turned to face Shiro, this time with a genuine smile.

"Let me thank you properly." She said to Shiro. "Would it be a problem for you to come inside?" She asked him with a tilt of her head.

Shiro smiled at her and shook his head. "I would love to but...I need to get to school before I'm seriously late." Shiro told her and turned to start walking away before pausing and turned to face her with a smile. "I hope we meet again Asia." Shiro said to her and waved goodbye.

As he walked, he couldn't help but feel like something was...off. Why would Asia be assigned to an abandoned Church? Or well, Shiro assumed it was abandoned but his point still stood. Surely the Vatican would send her to one of the main Churchs, especially since she had an ability to heal like that. Shiro shook his head to rid himself of these thougts. Frankly, he didn't care what the Vatican did since he and his mother were both Wiccan...and he was also a Devil so that also added to his 'not carring' nature.

Nya~

Shiro froze in his tracks as he heard a jingle of a bell and then the mewl of a cat. He looked around for the source of the mewl before he looked to his left and, perched on wall next to him, was a black cat with amber eyes. Shiro stared at the cat and the cat stared at him before the cat hopped off the wall and walked up to Shiro before rubbing itself across his legs which made his heart melt. "Awww aren't you just the sweetest." Shiro said and bent down to pet the cat. He ran his hand down it's body, to it's tail and then under it's chin where his hand touched her collar. "You do have a name huh?" He questioned before picking the cat up, causing it to mewl, before looking at the name tag.

After registering what the tag said, Shiro's eyes grew wide in joy. "Nanako! I can't believe it." He said and placed Nanako back on the floor before smiling down at her. "I can't believe you reappear after five years of being gone." He said and rubbed the top of Nanako's head causing her to press into his hand. Shiro smiled down at her before he felt his phone buzzing in his pocket. He stood up and took his phone out before cursing. "Oh shit! I'm gonna be late!" Shiro said before he slung his bag round to his back and petted Nanako one last time. "See you later Nanako. I hope you still know the way back home." He said before taking off in a sprint down the street to the school.

Nanako watched Shiro take off down the street and then quickly climb up a building before disappearing over it's edge. She stayed where she was for a few seconds before she turned and walked the opposite way and, if one were to look closely at her, one would say that she was smirking. 'Soon Shiro...soon you'll be mine.' She thought to herself and continue on her merry way.

"So why the hell were you so late?" Matsuda asked Shiro as he and Motohama croweded around his desk.

Shiro was an hour late when he got to school which caused him to get chewed out by Sona Shitori, the student council president, and then Mrs. Utakata when he reached class which lead to now, the end of the day and his 'interrogation' by his two friends. Shiro looked at the blad headed pervert before sighing to himself before waving a dismissive hand. "I was helping someone." Shiro said before smirking. "She was this super cute blonde girl."

"YOU SHITTING US!" Both perverts yelled at him and slammed their hands on his desk. "What does she look dude? Come on man, don't keep her all to yourself." Matsuda continued.

'Oh this is too good.' Shiro thought with a snicker. "Well she had blonde hair and I mean blonde. It was like her hair was made out of gold. She had this big cute blue eyes that could make a man melt in a second." Shiro described Asia, while exageratting things. "And finally."

"Yeah?" Both perverts leaned in close, lustfull grins across their faces.

"She's a Nun." You could practically hear Motohama's and Matsuda's souls shatter at that. "Which means, if you idiots do try and go after her...you won't be able to do shit." Shiro laughed at the expression they were pulling. He continued to laugh loudly until they both stood up and waddled away, clouds of deppression clear over their heads. "Where you two idiots going?" Shiro asked them as he stood up and walked over to them.

Just before they could answer him, they did manage to send light glares his way, a familiar voice called out to him. "There you are Shiro." Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over to the door before swooning at the person standing there.

"What's up Rias?" Shiro asked his Crimson-haired master, ignoring all the spitefull glares he was getting by all the guys. He then raised an eyebrow at her expression and he had a feeling he was in trouble.

"I need you to come to come with me...I need to speak to you about something." She said and gestured for him to follow her and started to walk away.

"Alright then. See you later losers." Shiro said, giving a two finger wave at his friends before jogging to catch up to Rias but not before snickering afer hearing Matsuda and Motohama yell 'BASTARRRRRRRRD!' at him. Shiro caught up to Rias and followed her out the main building and towards the club room. Rias then turned and looked at Shiro with a slightly peeved expression.

"Sona told me that you were an hour late to school...why's that?" She asked him. She didn't sound angry, just annoyed more then anything.

Shiro was silent for a few seconds as he contemplated on telling her the truth before shrugging his shoulders. "I just helped someone who was lost and then I ran into an old friend." Shiro told her. Rias' expression seemed to soften a little but then returned to it's annoyed/angered expression when Shiro spoke once more. "I should mention that person I helped was a Nun and she wanted to go to the Church...I didn't go inside so don't worry." He quickly added.

Rias was silent before she sighed lightly. "While that is good...you must never step foot in the Church." She told him and crossed her arms. When she saw that Shiro wasn't going to respond, she continued. "For Devils like us, the Church is enemy territory." She said and walked past him back to the door before stopping and turning towards him. "Surely you felt that something was telling you something was wrong?"

"Now that you mention it...when I got near the Chruch my whole body shivered and then the same voice I've been hearing just said 'Danger'."

"Hmm..." Rias placed a finger on her chin in thought before she shook her head. "While I don't know about this 'voice' everything else was your Devil instincts were also warning you about danger. Being in close proximity with someone from the Church is very risky. Also some of the exorcists use sacred gears and they could really hurt you." Rias warned before turning towards him with concern, Shiro's mind went to Asia and her healing powers. "Shiro...when a Devil receives a Devils purge it's utterly annihilated. Nil. The end of the line, they are reduced to nothing. They feeling nothing." She said before walking up to him and placed a hand on his cheek as concern crossed her face. "You can never come back from that...please tell me you'll be more cautious?"

Shiro looked into Rias' eyes before he sighed and placed a hand ontop of hers and smiled at her. "I promise I'll be more careful in the future Rias. Don't worry." He told her before removing his hand and hers.

Rias smiled back at him before sighing to herself. "Sorry...I've gotten all worked up. I just care for your saftey is all." Rias said, more to herself then Shiro, before she turned and walked towards the door and paused. "I've got to see Sona about something so for now, I would like you to hand out more flyers if that's okay."

"Anything that will help me rise up the ranks." Shiro said before pulling a mock salute with a smile causing her to smile back. When Rias walked out the builidng Shiro sighed to himself and his smile dropped. 'She didn't all too pissed...but she's right. I need to be more careful...even if Asia does seem harmless.' Shiro thought to himself before he ascended up the stairs and into the meeting room. Where he saw two stacks of flyers on the table.

Half an hour later...

Shiro was currently running from roof top to roof top as he was half way through delivering the second stack of flyers when his phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket. He paused and sat down on the edge of the roof before answering his phone. "Hello?"

"Shiro." Shiro heard Rias' voice through the phone and the tone she used sounded like there was something important. "You need to make your way back to the club room. We have a job to do." She told him with urgency.

Shiro was silent for a few seconds before standing and nodded to himself. "I'll be there in about ten minutes." Shiro told her before turning and dashed across the roof tops. He knew he could fly back but there were still people about and he didn't want to risk being seen by them since he didn't know how to use the memory-warping spell.

"Be quick and stay safe." Rias said before hanging up and leaving the silver-haired teen to his thoughts.

'I wonder what's so important that Rias had to call me back.' Shiro thought as he vaulted over an air-duct before sliding down a fire escape. He turned and ran down the alley and into the street and almost ran into someone. "Sorry 'bout that pal." Shiro quickly said before continuing on his way back to the club. 'I didn't know someone else had silver-hair in this teen.' Shiro thought as he noticed that the man he ran into had silver-hair like him except duller.

Ten minutes later...

"Right I'm here." Shiro announced as he climbed through the window and stood near the sofa that was closest to it, leaning on it's back. "So what's up Rias?" He asked the red-head before his eyes narrowed at her expression.

"We've been called by the Arch-duke." He turned when Akeno spoke up, she was stood near the magic circle wearing the same expression as Rias. "A stray-devil has been causing problems in the local area."

"Yes." Rias spoke up and walked over to the magic circle along with Kiba and Koneko. "We've been asked to eliminate it before it causes any more damage." Rias said and gestured for Shiro to follow, which he did and stood besides Kiba.

"I remember that Fallen Angel guy calling me a Stray Devil." Shiro said as he raised an eyebrow and as the magic circle began to glow brightly. "What does being a Stray Devil mean?" He asked as his vision was encased by a blinding light.

"Every once in a while." Even though he was being blinded, he could still hear just fine and it was Kiba who spoke up. "A Devil servants rebels and kills their master...and then they become Strays." Kiba said with a heavy sigh.

The light finally faded and died down allowing Shiro to open his eyes and see where they were. The group were standing in a forrest just a few minutes away from a warehouse and, even this far away, Shiro could smell blood and decaying flesh. "So what? They become power hungry and go on a muderous rampage?" Shiro asked as they all walked towards the warehouse.

"Yes and no...acourding to the reports. This stray has been tricking them and luring them into that warehouse and eating them." Akeno said as she walked besides Rias before turning to Shiro. "Tonight shouldn't be too difficult. Just find the beast and kill it." Shiro didn't say anything and nodded to his raven-haired peer who smiled at him and faced forwards.

Shiro was walking in the back, behind Koneko, before he clicked his neck and held his hand up to his face and narrowed his eyes before clenching it into a fist and summoned his sacred gear. "This is going to be the first time I get to properly try this out." Shiro said to himself but it seemed everyone heard him as Rias stopped him just before the doors.

"Not tonight Shiro." She said and placed a hand ontop of his shoulder. "I know you want to see the extent of your sacred gear but I want you on support and watch how everyone fights." She told him before turning to Koneko and nodded. Koneko, with her ever stoic gaze, walked up to the doors, pulled her leg back and kicked the doors down making Shiro's jaws drop at her surprising strength. Rias then turned back to Shiro as everyone walked inside. "Are you familiar with the game of chess?"

"Kinda." Shiro replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "I know the pieces but none of the rules."]

Rias nodded and then went into an explanation. "As the master, I am the 'king'. My empress is the 'queen'. My cavalier the 'knight'. My tank the 'rook'. My clergyman the 'bishop' and my foot soldier is the 'pawn'." She told him causing him to slowly nod in slight understanding. "Devils of noble status grants the characteristics of these pieces to each ones of my servants."

"Okay but...what does that mean?" Shiro asked her as he didn't understand what she was getting at. How can chess pieces have 'characteristics'?

"I'm getting to that, the name for these pices are called 'Evil pieces'." Shiro's unimpressed gaze said everything on how he thought about those names but before Rias could continue her explanation, Koneko suddenly tensed up and spoke.

"It's here."

Just then, a feminine and sultry voice spoke up from the darkness. "Now what is that I smell?" The voice said, echoing all across the room. "Mmm something delicious...will it be sweet? Or bitter?" The voice then become concentrated as a tall female with black hair wearing nothing stepped out from the shadows, only showing her naked top half.

"Viser you wretch." Rias said, her voice dripping with venom as she glared at the stray devil. "You murdered you master and ran away to fulfill the lustful desires that consume you." Rias said to the Stray and narrowed her eyes. "Your death is worthy of a thousand hells...in the name of the great Marquee of Gremory. Surrender peacfully or meet you end."

All was silent after Rias' powerful speech until Visor whole body shook and she began laughing in a crazed manner before showing a demented smile. "Oh give it a rest you little slut." Visor said to Rias who simply glared back. "You're just jealous because you can never reach perfection like-" Visor was suddenly cut off when a rock hit her in the face, causing her to recoil and then send a caustic glare towards Shiro who was tossing another rock up in the air.

"Don't speak to Rias that way you bitch." Shiro said as he prepared to toss the second rock at her before freezing as Visor finally stepped out from the darkness. Her top body was human in appearance but her lower body was gigantic and beastly with four legs, with the two front legs having a humanoid appearance to them and her stomach featuring a cavity with teeth.

"Yeah...all stray devils end in ugliness." He heard Kiba say and then Shiro heard the sound of a sword being pulled from a sheathe. Shiro looked over to his blonde-haired comrade and now noticed that he had a sheathe attached to his left hip which was black with with accents adorning it. The sword itself was a dark silver and the hilt was pure black. Shiro raised an eyebrow as he heard Visor moan and laugh to herself causing him to face the Devil before his jaw dropped as she was playing with her large breasts. "What the fuck is she-are those magic circles?" Shiro questioned as he indeed did see two magic circles appear on her erect nipples.

The magic circles began spinning rapidly and glowing brightly before firing twin beams of magical energy at the group. Shiro had to quickly dive out the way to avoid being hit by her breast attack and, when they impacted on the wall behind them, Shiro turned to see that they had dissolved some of the wall. 'Acidic breast energy...fucking wonderful.' Shiro thought to himself with a heavy sweat drop before a large shadow loomed over him. He turned to see Visor standing over him and holding two spears. "This is for hitting me with that rock you little shit!" She yelled before stabbing down towards Shiro.

However, before the spears could pierce his body, Visor suddenly recoiled in pain as one of her arms was seperated from her body and Kiba was standing behind her. Shiro looked past Visor and nodded to the blonde who simply smiled at him before his face turned back into a serious expression and he disappeared from sight. "Woah! Did Kiba just turn invisible?" He asked and backpeddled away from Visor who slammed her foot down where he was. Shiro landed next to Rias.

"No...he's just moving incredibly fast." Rias explained just as Kiba appeared in front of Visor, his back facing her and his sword partially in it's sheathe. "Kiba is my knight and his special attribute is speed and his weapon is his sword." She said as Kiba began walking forwards while slowly sheathing his blade. Just as the hilt clicked against the sheathe, Visor's other arm was seperated from her body. He then walked past Koneko while holding out his hand who, in return, high fived him.

"Tag out." Was all Kiba said while smiling.

"Uhh is Koneko gonna be okay?" Shiro asked with concern as he watched the snow-haired loli walk up to Visor before standing still.

"Don't worry about her." Rias replied. "Koneko is my rook." Visor's expression suddenly turned murderous as her mouth twisted and her teeth sharpend to something you would find on a Piranha. Her stomach-mouth suddenly opened and then, in one fell swoop, engulfed Koneko but Rias showed no signs of worry. It was clear way a few seconds after as the mouth didn't stay closed for long. "Her attributes are unparalleled strength." Rias said as Koneko pried Viser's jaws open.

"Fly." Was all she said as Koneko swiftly turned on the balls of her feet and uppercutted Viser, sending the Devil into a nearby pillar and who's body then shattered it into chunks.

"Finally Akeno." Rias sighed with a slight smile as the raven-haired beauty walked up to Viser's body wearing a twisted smile, one that sent shivers down Shiro's spine.

Shiro watched as Akeno casually walked up to Viser before he turned as he heard rustling behind him. His eyes went wide as he saw that Viser amputated arm being wriggling on the ground before twisting on it's hand and then lunged at Rias' back. Shiro quickly dashed towards Rias, summoning his sacred gear, and then pushed out the way before slamming his gauntlet covered fist into the hand and the into the ground. After a few seconds, the hand stopped thrashing about. Shiro stood up and smiled at Rias. "Your welcome."

Rias stared at Shiro with mild surprise before smiling back at him. "Thank you Shiro." She said before turning to face Akeno. "Akeno...finish her off please."

Shiro shivered once more as he heard Akeno laugh. "Ufufufu~ I have news for you...you're not the only one who likes to play rough." She said as lightning sparked between her hands and she then licked her lips.

"Akeno is my queen...her attributes are a mixture of all three. She's simply unbeatable." Rias said as she gave her friend high praise. "Her weapon is a dark magical power but that isn't all...she's also really into S&M." Rias said and looked over to Shiro who had a mortified expression as he watched Akeno continuously shock Viser.

"I can't believe she gets off on this..."

Rias smirked at his expression before turning back to Akeno. "That's enough Akeno. She's finished." Rias said as Akeno cut off her lightning attack which allowed Viser to finally fall to the floor.

"Over all ready?" She said and turned to the group while blushing heavily. "I was just getting started."

'Scary...very scary.' Shiro thought as his instincts were going haywire.

Rias then walked over to Viser's twitching body and stood above her with her hands on her hips. "Any last words?"

Viser simply looked up at Rias and said. "Kill...me...

"As you wish." Rias replied and formed a red magic circle infront of her body which then began gathering magic in the forrm of a blackish red ball. "Checkmate." She said before firing the ball towards Viser which enveloped Viser's body turning her into nothing. No dust, no ash, Viser was just...nothing. Shiro watched Rias with newfound respect at her immense power. In fact, he gained newfound respect for all his fellow Devils. "We're done here...let's go home." Rias said and turned to face the group with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement but Shiro spoke up. "Wait Rias...what about me? Where do I fit in?" Shiro asked, eager to learn what piece he was.

"You're a 'pawn' Shiro." Rias said as she walked past him, the rest of the group following behind her.

"Awww man." Shiro groaned and pouted a little. "I wanted to be something awesome like a 'rook' or 'knight'." Shiro said with a heavy sigh but swiftly jogged and caught up with the group.

After the group had left, a female figure with black hair and ice-blue eyes stepped out of the darkness, a ball of pure magic was in her hand until she straightend her arm and caused the magic to dissapate. She walked over to where Viser's arm still was before sighing to herself. "Guess I was worring about nothing...even if it was a hand, Shiro seems capable of protecting himself." She said to herself before holding out her arm, her palm facing down to the arm and a black magic circle with the visage of a dragon appeared beneath the arm and then, after a second, irrupted in black flames.

The woman watched the arm burn until it was ashes before waving her hand, the same magic circle appearing, and a strong gust of wind blew the ashes away. After all that was done, the woman turned and walked out of the building and then vanished leaving a magical particle effect from where she once was.

With Shiro...

Shiro was currently hopping from roof tops as Rias said he had a summon request. As he went from roof top to roof top, Shiro began thinking about his current situation and future. 'Hmm...if I do want to get my own servants in the future I need to up the ante and rise up in ranks. If I was born into power I would have instant access to my own set of evil piece but beacuse I'm a reborn I need to slug through the ranks...that's going to be a little more difficult since I'm only a 'pawn'.' Shiro thought before sighing to himself and landed in front of his client's house and straightend his clothes out before knocking on the door.

After a few seconds of no answer, Shiro was about to knock again when he noticed something strange with the door. His eyebrow raised and he gave it a little nudge and was surprised to find it unlocked. He took a closer look and noticed that the lock was slightly dented, almost as if someone had broken in. "Hello...is anybody in here?" He called out before stepping inside but froze when a strange feeling washed over his body. It was the same feeling he got when meeting that male Fallen one. 'This isn't good...' Shiro thought as he cautiously walked inside and headed towards the dim light that was seeping out of a nearby ajar door. "Don't freak out but I'm coming in." Shiro called out as he reached the door and slowly pushed it open.

Shiro slowly and cautiously stepped before freezing in place as he heard a soft 'splash' beneath him, it was almost as if he stepped in a puddle. "The fuck?" He said softly before running a hand along his shoe and held it up to the light. His fingers were covered in a crimson liquid that was slightly warm to the touch and was also slightly sticky. "Is this...blood?" He said before standing up and followed the trail with narrowed eyes before they went wide in horror, shock and disgust as he saw a managled corpse pinned to the wall in a cross with their stomach slashed open allowing their intestines to just pour out of their body. "What kind of sick fucking joke is this?" Shiro said, desperatly trying not to throw up.

"Punish the wicked." He suddenly turned to where a white haired male was sittting. He could only see the back of the person's head but he could see that they were wearing what resembled a Priests outfit. "Words to live by...yes. Wise advice to head from a Holy man." The man said before turning his head to face Shiro with a disturbing smile. He stood up and walked around the couch and pulled a mock bow. "Freed Sellzen...at your service." He said before standing up straight and tilted his head to the side. "And you must be the Devil whose ass this Priest is gonna exorcise."

Shiro took a step back and growled lowly. "A Priest."

"Got that right you little shit." Freed nodded and his smile grew even more demented. "I work for a certain Devil purging orginization you may of heard of."

"So I have you to 'thank' for this handiwork." Shiro said and pointed to the mangled corspe. "What kind of twisted Priest are you to do this to a person?" Shiro said and swiftly summond his sacred gear, not wanting to be caught off guard by the man.

"Summoning you was proof that he was done being human." Freed said as he shook his head and shrugged. "This is the least I could do for a sinner like him." Freed said before reaching into his coat and pulled out a pistol and a strange golden rod. "Putting down degenerate Devils and the poor fuckers that call out to them is my job." He said before a glowing blade grew from the rod.

"Disney is gonna bring down it's lawyers on your lightsaver wielding ass." Shiro said with a smirk and raised his fists.

Freed scowled at Shiro and pointed his blade at him. "This, my dear Devil, is a sword of holy light and I'm going to first cut out your wicked heart with my Heavenly blade and then I'm going to blow a hole in your fucking head with my rightous gun." Freed cackled and aimed his gun at Shiro. "How does that sound Devil?" Freed suddenly leapt towards Shiro, with his sword raised in the air.

Shiro simply side stepped Freed and elbowed him in the back of his neck. "Did you really think I would just stand still and let you cut me?" Shiro rhetorically asked and then kneed Freed in his stomach before twisting his body and sidekicked Freed in his side sending him stumbling to the other side of the room.

"You bastard DEVIIIIIIIIIIL!" Freed yelled and turned and aimed his pistol at Shiro, firing a shot that managed to pierce his leg causing Shiro yell out in agony as he felt the Holy light burn his leg from both outside and inside. "These bullets have been blessed by an upper Exorcist. I hope they feel good scumbag." Freed scowled at Shiro who slowly pushed himself to standing.

"Don't got spouting shit like you've won." Shiro growled at Freed as his left leg twitched in pain. "I can still st-" Just before Shiro could get the word 'stand' out his mouth, Freed fired another bullet at his leg. "Not this time bastard." Shiro quickly said and, using his gauntlet covered hand, deflected the bullet and sent into into the doorframe behind him, splintering the wood. Shiro looked at the door and then to his sacred gear. 'I didn't know this thing would let me deflect Holy weapons...then again, I did punch that holy spear before so I should've gathered.' Shiro thought but he swiftly shook his head as Freed snarled at Shiro and rushed at him once again.

Freed slashed at Shiro from multiple angles and Shiro kept dodging them all however, he wasn't able to counter as he risked getting slashed. He then stopped and raised his right hand and caught Freed's sword on the back of his gauntlet and smirked at Freed before pulling his left arm back and swiftly jabbing Freed in the nose. There was a satisfying cracking sound and Freed stumbled back, dropping his gun in favour of clutching his nose, he removed his hand and started to breath heavily as blood flowed down his face and dripped onto the floor.

"You. Shitty. Devil." Freed snarled and sent a demented look towards Shiro before rushing him once more. Just as Shiro was about to jump out of the way, his left leg suddenly flared up in pain causing him to stumble which allowed Freed to slice him across the back. While it wasn't deep, it did sting Shiro and cause him to fall on the floor. Just as he began pushing himself up, Freed stampped on Shiro's back and placed his sword of light against Shiro's neck. "Any last words Devil?" Freed asked but before Shiro could make a snarky comment there was a shrill scream.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Both Shiro and Freed looked over to where the scream came from.

Shiro's eyes went wide in shock as he recognised the female's golden hair and he then heard Freed sigh in annoyance. "What the hell? Asia what are you doing here?" Freed asked the blonde-haired Nun, his blade never moving from Shiro's neck. "Are you done creating the barrier already?"

"Don't-Don't do this..." She whimpered as she stared at the managled corpse.

"Riiiight I forgot you're a newbie." Freed said with a heavily demented and joyous tone of voice. He finally removed the blade from Shiro's neck and walzted over to Asia's side. "I guess it's about time you learned that this is our job my dear." He said and placed an arm over her shoulder causing Asia to wince and recoil but she wasn't able to go anywhere as Freed blocked her path. "We disspose of those who have been bewitched by the shitty Devils." He said and finally removed his arm from around Asia and turned back to Shiro. "Like this one here."

Asia turned before freezing and gasping in shock as her eyes met his. "Sh-Shiro?" Asia said as she stared at Shiro in horror. "Wh-What are you doing here?" She asked him and slowly took a fearful step back.

Freed looked between Shiro and Asia before settling his gaze on the Nun. "What's going on? Do you two know each other?"

"No..." Shiro quickly said before Asia could open her mouth and respond. "I've never seen her in my life." Shiro stated, refusing to look up from the ground and meet Asia's gaze. He didn't have to see her to know how hurt she was. From either him saying he didn't know her or her learning he was a Devil? He didn't know.

"OW! Please stop!" His eyes suddenly went wide when he heard Asia yelp in pain causing him to look back at her.

"Asia!"

"Ahhhh so you do know each other." Freed smilied at Shiro as the silver-haired teen fell into Freed's trap. He was currently holding onto Asia's hair and was pulling it roughly. Freed then leaned down and spoke softly into Asia's ear. "You know that the Fallen Angels forbidden any and all contact with Devils.

'Wait Fallen Angel? What is Asia doing with them?' Shiro thought with narrowed eyes and glared at Freed before stopping as Freed went back and placed his sword next to Shiro's neck again. 'Dammit...I can't do anything unless I risk Asia's safety...this bastard has me in a corner and he knows it.' Shiro's eyes quickly glanced to Freed's light blade and then Asia.

"Now then...let's finish what we started. SHALL WE?" Freed yelled and raised his sword, ready to sever Shiro's head from his body but paused as Asia quickly stepped in front of Shiro.

"Asia what are you doing? Get out of the way?"

"P-Please Father...forgive this man of his sins." She pleaded to Freed with tear filled eyes. "Can't we just...let him go?"

"That 'thing' isn't a man." Freed replied, his voice sound strained and tired but not of fatigue but of annoyance. "He's a Devil...now move. You made a pledge to defeat our enemies."

"It doesn't matter to me what he is." Asia quickly replied with a forceful tone. "There's goodness in him I know it." She said and the tone she used said that she refused to move, no matter what Freed said or did. "You can't just kill him. How can you believe that the father would approve?"

"Rrrrgh! ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT!" Freed yelled and slashed Asia across her chest but instead of cutting her open, he simply sliced her clothes and bra in half exposing her supple breasts which made her cross her arms over her chest. "What is going on in that fucking head of yours?" Freed yelled and began walking towards Asia but before he could even raise a hand to her, he was suddenly flung backwards and knocked to the ground as Shiro had shoulder charged him in his stomach.

"Don't you fucking touch her you sick bastard." Shiro growled and tried to immolate Freed with his glare.

Freed sat up coughing before returning Shiro's glare in force. "You've done it now you bastard." Freed venomously spat before launching himself off the ground towards Shiro, his blade cutting across the ground leaving a faint gash in the ground but he was stopped when Shiro met him halfway and placed his left leg on Freed's hand, stopping his momentum, and then, using it as a springboard, kneed Freed in his chin but Shiro wasn't finished as he then grabbed the back of his head and slammed it back down on the same knee before ending it with a straight kick to his stomach.

Freed stumbled back and coughed up a little blood before wiping his mouth with his sleeve. "Now you've really made me mad." Freed slowly stood up with a sway before looking at Shiro with a smile and a crazed look in his eye. He then ran at Shiro once more but this time, he stopped half way and swiftly brought up his right hand which was now holding his gun. "Kapow!" He yelled and fired a shot, this one aimed directly behind Shiro...at Asia.

Time seemed to move slowly as Shiro watched the bullet whiz past him, grazing his cheek, and head towards the middle of Asia's head. In a split second after, the bullet whized past where Asia once stood as Shiro managed to tackle her to the ground, his body was over her's in a protective manner. Shiro looked down at her with a soft gaze. "Are you okay...Asia?" Shiro asked the girl.

"GAME OVER DEVIL AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Before Asia could answer, Shiro heard Freed behind him and looked to see Freed swing his sword towards him. Shiro closed his eyes and waited for the pain but instead he heard the sound of metal claning against metal. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Kiba locking blades with Freed.

"Sorry we're late Shiro." Kiba said and glanced back at the two before returning his gaze back to Freed.

"Talk about a nasty mess."

"An Exorcist..."

These came from Akeno and Koneko who stepped out of the magic circle that Kiba appeared from causing him to sigh in relief.

"Thank fuck...you guys came at the right time." Shiro said as he rolled off Asia and sat next to her before glancing over to her and smiling. "These are my friends Asia. You could say we're safe now."

"Hell yeah!" Shiro turned his head to look at Freed who looked like Chirstmas came early for him. "Now we got ourselves a good 'ol fashioned gangbang."

"Sorry to dissapoint but he's one of us." Kiba said as he held his sword out in front of him in a stance that allowed him to attack or defend at will.

"Oh I'm far from dissapointed." Freed replied with a smile. "So what's the deal? He's the pitcher and your the catcher? Or is it the other way round eh." Freed said before he burst out laughing. "Oh this is all too perfect. Instead of being able to kill just one Devil, I GET TO KILL A WHOLE FUCKING BUNCH OF YOU."

"For a Priest, that's quite the mouth you got there." Freed stopped laughing as Kiba spoke.

"Oh get off your high horse prick." Freed said with his usual crazed expression on his face. "Killing shitty Devils like you is my only concern. So stop preaching and let's get to it!" Freed sighed in annoyance before charging Kiba but stopped when a blast of blackish/red magic eruppted in front of him. "All right, who the fuck stopped me?"

"I did." Rias called out as she stepped out from the circle, after which it dissapated. "If you want to continue then go ahead but I really don't think you can handle it." She said, raising her hand as it was encased in her magic. "No body hurts my servants."

"Oh? Well I think you should take another look at him cause I'm pretty sure he's hurtin right now!"

Rias simply ignored Freed in favour of crouching in front of Shiro and placed a hand on his cheek, a soft and concerned expression crossed her face. "I'm sorry Shiro...I sent you into the hands of an Exorcist. I had no idea...there was a barrier placed her just a moment ago." She said softly.

"YOU DUMB BITCH!" Freed yelled, his anger directed at Asia who coward in fear until Shiro stepped in front of her. "You supposed to make the barrier!"

"Don't you fucking talk to her like that bastard." Shiro snarled at Freed who returned a harsh glare his way.

Rias slowly stood up and radiated an aura of anger. "I never forgive those who do harm to my servants or those that pick on the weak." She spat, venom dripped off of every word she spoke. "And I especially don't tolerate incidious wretchs like you. People like you have no place in this world."

For once, Freed actually back away from the group and had a concerned gaze. "Well shit...this could be a problem." Freed said before smiling. "Or not."

Koneko picked up a sofa before pausing and sniffed the airr before she scowled. "Fallen angels are here."

"Hell fucking yeah!" Freed yelled as a purple portal appeared above where he was standin. "You're all fucked now."

"What's the plan?" Akeno asked Rias, lighting fading from her hands.

Rias looked back at Shiro and then to Asia before sighing. "For now...we need to get Shiro out of here. Akeno, prepare a portal." She said and then gestured towards Koneko. "Grab Shiro." She said and turned away.

Koneko threw the couch she was carrying, nailing Freed and pinned him to the ground before walking over to Shiro and helped him up. "Can you walk?" She asked him.

"Yeah...yeah I'm fine." Shiro nodded before limping over to Asia and slowly undid his necklace. "I assume we can't take her with us?" Shiro asked, his hair shadowing his eyes. Rias' silence was all the answer he needed which caused him to sigh heavily and then attach his necklace around her neck and allowed it to drop against her chest. "My Mother gave me this...can you keep it safe until we see each other?" Shiro asked her.

"Yes...I promise." Asia nodded with tear filled eyes and held onto his necklace. Shiro nodded and limped over to the others, sparing one last glance at Asia just before his vision was filled with light.
