For My Devilish Angel

Hello back with another chapter, I'll go over some reviews. Also, I would like more reviews if there is anything you guys have questions that need to be answered. Anyways let's answer from reviews.

Guest-Questioner: If I am understanding it correctly, Isseis' "Sharingan" is a magical equivalent, to Itachi's', thus allowing issei, to gaze at the practical building blocks of most, if not all, of the known worlds' magic's, at least to a, basic-intermediate, kind of level, yes?

Shin Uchiha: A particular mark attached via physical contact, which allows telekinetic manipulation of any object.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: Manifest a gigantic Susano'o as big as the ten-tail. BOTH OF WHICH, ARE FROM THE, (NARUTOPEDIA: MANGEKYO SHARIGAN) Shin Uchiha, eerily similar to isseis' dress break (TELAKINETIC MANIPULATION OF ANY OBJECT FROM ONE TOUCH)

Hagoromo Otsutsuki, almost like a remote-controlled (JUGGERNAUGHT DRIVE)

TF: Not entirely what I was going for but for Issei's abilities on his own. I'm not too sure on what to even do once he gains the Mangekyou Sharingan. It definitely won't be anytime soon, as there are requirements on how or when he awakens it. No, since Issei isn't an Uchiha, even though he has the Sharingan, the Sharingan appeared in Issei merely to give Itachi his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. So, Issei won't be going down that path of hatred. Also, I'm pretty sure Issei wouldn't do that, if anything he beat the crap out of anyone for titties. Lol.

Duked: A good chapter. I would leave Akeno to Issei but Koneko to Itachi. It would make more sense besides I could never understand how she could fall for a pervert like Issei.

TF: I mean… I'm more or less fine with either direction. Though I think Akeno, Rias, Irina, Rossweisse, and Kuroka is already a lot. That's my reasoning as why I want to leave Koneko as is. Also, not like Issei isn't that horrible of a guy. Yeah, he is a pervert, but he would never force anyone to do anything against their will. Not only that, but this Issei is different from the one we know from cannon.

Anyways, that's all I really have. Since this is working a bit differently than the normal anime. Some situations will or won't happen due to Itachi being more careful, planning ahead, and knowing where to pick his fights. Anyways on with the chapter!


Last Chapter

Issei was in his room with Asia asleep on his bed, the two have been sleeping together for a while now. Issei was up looking at his reflection in the mirror. He said, "Ddraig when should I tell Itachi-Nii?" Issei sent magic to his eyes as his eyes began to glow red with a single tomoe in his right eye, and two tomoe in his left eye.

"That's all up to you Issei, he can help you train it and get stronger. You're afraid, though aren't you? It's understandable though, everything that he went through, what could happen to." Ddraig was cut off.

"No, you stupid dragon!" Issei was a little annoyed Ddraig would think Itachi would do that again, "Him knowing I had the Sharingan or whatever, it would bring up bad memories of Sasuke… his other little brother. I don't want him to feel distant from me, so if I hide it until he is healed. That's when I'd tell him." Issei shut his eyes off and relaxed. He went towards his bed and laid down next to Asia as she cuddled into his hold.


This Chapter

Itachi was currently sitting in the ORC with Rias, everyone else, along with Irina, and Xenovia, "Alright so tonight we're preparing to protect the church members. We know Freed will be there, but he won't expect you guys to be there." Xenovia said with a smirk on her face. She felt confident with Itachi being there along with backup.

"Yeah, I know we'll dominate in the name of Kami-sama!" Irina said with a cheery tone earning chuckles from others.

Xenovia then looked over to the side to see Asia nervously next to Issei. Issei held her close to his side Xenovia sighed, "Sorry… for calling you a witch." Xenovia said with a tone trying to make up. Xenovia then stood up from the wall and left to go towards the church.

"Well, at least it's one step in the right direction. I can say though it will take a while, hopefully, we can all come together in peace." Rias said with a smile as Akeno walked over placing tea in front of Irina, Itachi, and herself.

Irina looked up at Itachi and she tilted her head, "Why did you decide to help us out?"

"Well because Itachi said he wanted to help; I'm merely obliging his request. It's the least I can do." Rias said with a smile as everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Irina we may be on different sides, but that doesn't mean we aren't friends. We're childhood friends, I wouldn't let you go into a fight knowing you'd die." Itachi stood up and summoned a katana from his wrist and placed the scabbard on his back.
"Well, we should be going are we all ready?" Irina stood up with everyone else preparing themselves.

"Yeah, we're all ready, Kiba keep a calm head. Otherwise, you'll never be able to destroy the Excalibur." Itachi warned as Kiba nodded his head staying silent. Itachi walked over to Asia and placed a hand on her head, "Easy Asia, don't let what Xenovia said get to you. She even said she was sorry, not everyone will understand what you went through. I'm positive we'll all be able to come together again as friends. Where we all can be your friends."

Asia smiled happily as she thought about that future, it wouldn't be a bad thing to dream about, "Thank you Itachi-Nii."

"Anytime, now let's get going." Itachi began to follow Irina out as everyone made their way towards the church. The group began to make their way towards the church with everyone putting on robes to hide their appearance. Itachi made sure to keep shadow clones out on the lookout for Freed.

"Alright we'll have to work together; they're going to be after our holy swords. If anything, we need to be prepared if their leader joins in." Xenovia closed her eyes as she began to calculate the possible outcomes.

"If he appears let me handle him, I'll make sure he is either disposed of or is given to the Governor of the Fallen Angels." Itachi stated coldly which no one really protested except for Rias.

"Itachi… you better be careful and don't overdo it." Rias demanded as Itachi nodded his head not saying much.

"Don't overdo it? Itachi seems healthy to me?" Irina raises an eyebrow which Itachi swallowed a lump in his throat.

"It's not my place to say." Rias answered crossing her arms under her bust.

Issei looked at Itachi, "Come on Nii-san Irina is our childhood friend surely you can."

"Alright you pulled my leg; I didn't want to tell them to make them feel like they owe me anything." Itachi added which Issei then said, 'Oh.' Since some of the ingredients were needed from the church.

"Itachi what is Issei talking about?" Irina asked with Xenovia listening in intently.

"I have a disease that is slowly killing me, I've got two-three years left to live. Unless I get treated." Itachi spoke calmly as Irina remembers the disease from his past life along with Xenovia remembering it too, "Regular human medicine won't heal me, so I need a special kind of medicine. It's called a Devil's Grace."

"I've heard about that; it's tough to get all the ingredients for that. It's said to cure anything from paralysis to the neck down. To getting rid of cancer, and even saving someone from a coma." Xenovia nodded her head understanding Itachi's situation, "Which begs the question why human medicine won't work?"

"Well before I was a devil, I had the disease normally… I was going to just let it run its course. However, some people won't let me punch out that easily. Since I was revived as a devil, it mutated not allowing human medicine to work." Itachi placed his hands in his pockets as Irina looked at Itachi worriedly.

"Really you are!? Well maybe after this I can ask Michael-sama or even Gabriel-sama to help you! I know what ingredients you need and." Irina was suddenly stopped as Itachi poked Irina on her forehead stopping her from talking. Irina blushed at the close contact as Itachi had a smile on his face.

"Irina, no need, I don't want you to go such lengths for me. If I'm going to find the medicine and ingredients, I'll ask them myself. Besides I." Itachi then found Rias slapping him upside the head. He looked at her confused, and a bit annoyed.

"What did I say about you relying on us more? Even if they are on the other side. It doesn't change the fact that your childhood friends. Can't you tell she is trying to help? Just take it." Rias ordered as she sent a glare Itachi's way.

Itachi recognized that glare all too well as his mother has used on him before. His father would even submit to it at times, his father was a proud and prideful person, "I'm in your debt Irina." Itachi turned to her as Irina smile back happy to help out. Just then Itachi turned his head, "He's here… he isn't alone either." Everyone turned as Itachi began to walk outside, Irina and Xenovia pulled out their respective swords. Itachi had his own Katana out as well to go toe to toe with Kokabeil.

Once they walked out Freed was laughing, "What's this!? I thought I was going to be able to slice up some new fresh meat!? Seems like it's just devil scum and the holy Slutty hooligans working together!"

Itachi frowned, "You guys better finish him." Itachi walked further as he looked up, "Come out Kokabeil, I know you're there. You can't hide from me." Itachi's eyes spun into the Sharingan with white wings appearing out of his back.

Everyone else looked up to see Kokabielwith all eight of his wings out, "Aahahaah! This one is quite perceptive since you're all in the way. I guess kill you all now will suffice as entertainment. Freed, hurry up and kill those weaklings so we may leave. We need to fuse the holy swords together then." Kokabielordered.

"As you wish master!" Freed laughed maniacally as he held out his holy sword.

Itachi looked up as he floated up into the sky with his katana ready at hand, "Hmp so you're the one who made my other subordinates turn tail. You will be interesting to fight now! Come at me!" Kokabielcharged forward creating a light spear.


With Rias and the Others

Rias and Akeno were providing support firing off magical attacks at Freed. However, other Fallen who joined their side appeared to help. So, they were

forced to focus on them, while Kiba and Koneko defended them, Irina and Xenovia dueled against Freed. "They just keep coming!" Rias fired off another attack shooting a fallen down. Rias then did a quick roundhouse kick sending one barreling into a tree.

"Ara, I wonder how much they can handle!" Akeno stuck her hand in the air as she was struck with lightning. Akeno aimed it at a fallen, Chain Lighting! Akeno fired as it slammed into one target. Then the arc of lightning shot through her first target shooting to the next. This continued as she got a quad kill causing them to fall to the ground lifeless, "Ara? Out in one shot no fun at all."

"Focus." Rias shouted as she enhanced her punch with magic sending a fallen angel into the ground.

"These guys are kinda slow!" Issei smirked as he bitch slapped a fallen angel to the ground.

"Man, these turds are annoying." Koneko stated blandly throwing an unconscious fallen onto the ground.

"You can say that again, I'm going to go help." Kiba's eyes widen as he saw Irina and Xenovia laying on the ground injured, "Guys WE NEED TO GO NOW!" Kiba shouted running towards them.


Same Time with Itachi

Itachi was floating in the air, "I'll give you this one and only chance. Runaway now or I will kill you. I'd rather not, but I will if you harm my friends."

Kokabielchuckled, "Your point is? This is the reason I'm here for!? FOR WAR! We were so close! With Kami dead! The Four Maous dead!" Kokabielstated angrily, "Then Azazel deiced to end the war! WHAT THE FUCK! WE ALMOST HAD IT!" Kokabielthen chuckled again relaxing, "Oops did I let that slip?"

Itachi stayed stoic, actually, he was pretty shocked. To think that Kami was actually dead, "It doesn't matter, they matter very little to me." Itachi held his katana out as he dashed forward.

Kokabiel easily blocked the attack with a light spear. He went to counter forming another light spear in his other hand. However, Itachi quickly spun his body kicking his other hand away. Itachi used the momentum to slam his heel into Kokabeil's face. Itachi continued as he swung his sword nicking Kokabeil's cheek. Kokabielbacked up from the sudden counter, "That's pretty impressive to a lowly reincarnate. Then again you are the white dragon emperor."

"Silence." Itachi appeared behind Kokabielshowing no mercy as he shoved his sword through his chest.

"Y-YOU!? H-How did you get behind me!?" Kokabielwatched as the Itachi in front of him disappeared in a murder of clones.

"Lucky, you moved the right way where I avoided cutting an artery in your heart." Itachi then went to move the blade within his chest, but a light spear approached his face at a rapid speed. Itachi was forced to dodge as he avoided the attack which Kokabielhuffed at.

"You actually managed to almost lad a lethal blow on me. You're stronger than you seem, but I'm much stronger than you think." Just then Kokabielheard a voice from below.

"Leader-san! I got what need let's go! I barely left those stupid catholic hooligans alive!" Freed laughed maniacally as he began to trot off with Kokabielsmirking.

"Well, it seems you'll get to live for now. We will fuse those holy swords together." Kokabiellaughed, "You better tend to your friends they might need it." Kokabielflew off with Itachi flying back towards the others, "What happened? Were Irina and Xenovia really outclasses? I thought they were all up against him. Unless they had reinforcements and were separated."

Itachi flew back to find everyone around Irina and Xenovia, the two were both seriously injured. Itachi quickly landed next to them to find Asia covered in blood. Itachi found Irina with a large gash on her chest, Xenovia was kneeling by her crying her eyes out, "I-I'm so sorry…" Asia said crying as she had a hard time looking at Xenovia. Asia seemed like she tried to heal Irina by putting her hands up to her body directly trying to heal her. Asia then decided to focus on Xenovia with her hands on Xenovia's back healing her.

"N-No! I-It's not your fault! W-we just underestimated them… I-I got her killed! DAMMIT!" Xenovia slammed her fist into the ground crying.

Just 10 Minutes Before


"Dammit, he's annoying!" Xenovia said angrily as Freed was wielding the holy sword like a pro. He was easily able to block and dodge her and Irina's attacks.

"It's okay we got this!" Irina shouted in confidence as she changed Excalibur Mimic to a spear. (A/N: I for Excalibur I'm going to Ex. Then the proper name, like Ex. Mimic or Ex. Destruction. Like that).

"Come on you little shits! Maybe if you impress me! I MIGHT EVEN KILL YOU QUICK!" Freed laughed maniacally as he even thought about doing something naughty.

"Not if we kill you first!" Xenovia appeared behind Freed, but he simply placed the sword behind him blocking her attack.

Before more was said, "Man this is boring just like how Kami-sama killed over!" Freed chuckled which made Irina and Xenovia both freeze for a second.

"W-Wait what!?" Xenovia shouted running towards Freed.

"LIES!" Irina shouted, "You're wide open!" Irina slashed at Freed from the front, but Freed jumped away. While he did so he also kicked off of Xenovia's sword, forcing her sword to move forward. However, what they weren't prepared for was the force of the kick that made Xenovia lunge forward. In Xenovia's way was Irina who she slashed across the chest accidentally.

"IRINA!" Xenovia went to catch her one and only friend. However, she found a stabbing pain in her side.

Freed jumped in kicking Xenovia into a tree as he picked up Irina's sword, "Well that's one shit down! Thanks for the help!" Freed laughed as Irina laid there with blood pouring out of her chest.

Xenovia quickly shot up with her eyes wide and sweat running down her face, "N-NO! NO! IRINA!" Xenovia looked at her sword that laid on the ground. She grabbed it and gritted her teeth, "I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!" Xenovia charged forward with rage in her eyes forgetting everything she learned about being a swordsman.

"Oh, now this is no fun? You've lost your cool! WELL, YOU DID JUST CAUSE A GIANT GASH IN HER CHEST! AHAHAHAHAH" Freed laughed parrying Xenovia's attack and slammed his foot into her stomach. He then slashed his own sword causing a giant slash to appear on her back. Xenovia fell to the ground as Freed picked up her Ex. Destruction and laughed walking away.

"How pathetic! HEHEHEHEH! TIME TO GET THE BADDEST BITCH OF A SWORD EVER!" Freed ran off with delight in his eyes.

"G-Get back h-here! Y-You bastard!" Xenovia felt fatigued take her as she fell to the ground.


Now

Itachi slowly walked over and placed a hand on Xenovia's shoulders, "What exactly happened?" Itachi asked as Xenovia's eyes began to tear and swell up. Xenovia began to tell their fight which everyone listened intently.

Itachi then said, "Rias… she is a swordsman, maybe you can." Itachi was cut off.

"No, I'm sorry Itachi, but I don't revive the dead all too often. Plus, she is a member of the church, I don't think." Rias was cut off.

"Do it… I beg of you do it." Xenovia got on her hands and knee, "Rias Gremory-sama please do it. I don't care if she hates me for the rest of her life, please!" Xenovia had tears running down her cheeks, "Irina has always been so full of love and life. I-I stook that from her… I know she loves Kami-sama and all. I-I can't bear it… she's been my best friend since we met in the church. We've been partners for the longest time…"

Rias smiled, she could really tell she cared about her friend, "Raise your head, if that is what you desire, I can fulfill it. But I'm warning you, then she does belong to me, she will be my servant and no longer that of god. She possibly will hate you too."

"I understand, I don't care if she hates me, despises me, or never even forgives me! I-I just want her back…" Xenovia continued as more tears ran down her face.

Issei didn't know what to do, but something made him step in, "Xenovia, it's going to be okay. Even if Irina doesn't forgive you, I'll make sure she does. You can count on it!" Issei said with a big goofy grin on his face. Issei pulled Xenovia into a hug, which she didn't resist, allowing him to comfort her.

Itachi shook his head and smirked, "Huh not bad Issei… not bad." Itachi looked over as Rias knelt down holding a knight piece out. A red circle formed above Irina, "In the name of Rias Gremory, I call upon the soul of Irina Shidou to become thy servant! Rejoice you have been given new life, now live your life for my sake." Rias finished her chant as the knight piece sank into Irina's chest.

Like that, Irina's heart began to beat again as Xenovia watched as her chest slowly rise and fall. Xenovia let a small sigh out as she felt weak in her knees as Issei held her up. Like that Xenovia fell asleep in Issei's arms, "Well I guess that's that then huh?" Issei looked at Irina and back at Itachi.

"Kokabielwas strong, but he was only stalling for time. I was almost able to finish him myself." Itachi walked over and gently picked Irina up, "Let's get back to the ORC, we'll fill Irina in later. I suggest you let me tell her, I don't know how she'll react."

"Let's just hope it isn't bad." Kiba walked up sheathing his sword away, Kiba felt ashamed himself. He did nothing but take out fallen angels who were there to distract them.

"No need to feel bad you guys did what you had to. There were others going out to attack, we were outnumbered. However, hopefully, that dwindled their numbers down." Itachi looked over to the side as he saw the moon at the peak, "Come on let's head back, I'm beat." He wasn't tired physically, but this was mentally draining.

"Itachi are you feeling alright?" Rias asked seriously with everyone else looking at him intently.

"Yeah, Nii-san we need to make sure you're alright." Issei added as Itachi let a small sigh out and nodded his head.

"Yes, I feel fine, I hardly broke a sweat. Kokabielwas only trying to stall, however, he still is highly skilled, so it won't be easy to take him down." Itachi knew when Kokabielcame back that the fight would be tough. However, Itachi could tell that Kokabielwas underestimating him. It would be his downfall, that's why Itachi would end up winning.


Later

Itachi was sitting by the ORC window in the spare bedroom the ORC room had. He was making sure Irina was alright as she slept peacefully in the bed. It's been almost five hours since the fight. Rias laid in bed with Irina to make sure she was alright. Meanwhile, everyone else went home, Itachi stayed since he wanted to make sure Irina was alright. Xenovia was just in the other room sleeping on the couch.

However, such said exorcist couldn't sleep anyways.

Itachi turned his head to see Irina sitting up in bed Rias saw her get up as well, "W-What happened? Oh no! The holy swords! Freed!" Irina began to panic but Itachi placed a hand on her head.

Irina quickly calmed down as Itachi said, "Rias could you give us a moment? Let Xenovia know she has awakened, but please tell her to keep it down." Itachi sat down on the bed as Irina sat on the bed confused.

"What's going on? Wait don't avoid the question what happen with the swords? Is Xenovia alright?" Irina went to get up but Itachi shook his head as she stopped moving.

"She's fine, she's in the other room. She has healed thanks to Asia, stopped her from bleeding out." Itachi said with a small smile on his face as Irina let a sigh of relief out.

"I'm ashamed that we lost, it seems we'll have to find them." Irina looked back at Itachi as she had a tint of pink stain on her cheeks, "So, how did I get back here?"

"Well simple, I brought you back here. How else?" Itachi said with a small snarky tone as Irina nodded her head.

"Well, I think we've imposed on you long enough, why don't Xenovia and I." Itachi stopped Irina from getting up by placing a stern hand on her shoulder making her sit back on the bed.

"Irina I'll be straight with you, and there is no easy way to tell you this. Irina you died." Itachi stated seriously as Irina looked at him funny.

"W-What? Y-you're joking r-right?" Irina said with a small chuckle as she raised an eyebrow.

Itachi kept his stoic look on his face as Irina's eyes widen, "W-Wait… w-why am I? Why am I?"

"Irina there is no way you can sugarcoat this. Xenovia begged Rias… she begged her to revive you even if it was as a devil." Itachi simply stated as Irina's eyes widen in fear, Irina began to hyperventilate.

"W-What!? N-No I-I c-can't be! I'm a member of the church I love kami! OW!" Irina said in pain holding her head. She then forgot about it and lifted her head, "N-No? Kam. OW!" Irina held her head again as more pain shot through her head.

Itachi moved closer to her as he wrapped an arm around Irina, "Easy Irina, easy." Itachi wrapped his arms around Irina as she began to scream in pain. Tears ran down her cheeks as she rubbed her face into Itachi's chest.

"NO! NO! NO!" Irina began to cry into his shirt as Xenovia came running into the room. Irina shot her head up to see Xenovia, "WHY! WHY DID YOU LET THEM RESURRECT ME!" Xenovia hung her head as she gripped her arm nervously.

"I-I couldn't stand it… I-I killed you I-Irina I did not want to hurt you. S-So I did what I thought was right. You heard Freed… you heard him, didn't you?" Xenovia looked down as she stared at the ground.

"NO! IT CAN'T BE TRUE KAM. OW!" Irina held her head in pain, "H-He isn't dead! I KNOW HE ISN'T!" Irina lunged forward on her knees as she placed her hands on the sheets. She began to grip them tightly, "I-I I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE!" Irina continued to cry as Xenovia had a hard time looking at Irina in the eyes.

"Irina you need to calm down." Itachi placed a hand on her head as she looked at the bedsheet with a frown. She didn't know how to feel, what to do, what to think. All she has ever known was to worship, follow, and love god.

What is she to do now?

Irina looked up and met Itachi in the eyes, "It's okay just go to sleep, for now, we'll figure more later." Itachi said with a serious voice which Irina let a low sigh out. She rolled over covering herself not saying another word.

Rias and gently took Xenovia's hand leading her away, "Let's let her rest."

Itachi went to leave but a hand grabbed his sleeve, "Itachi… can you stay?" Irina asked as she undid her pigtails and laid down.

"Sure." Itachi sat back down on the bed but Irina motioned him to lay down. She pulled him to lay down as he laid next to her. Itachi could feel Irina shaking, he also could sense her own distress. Itachi simple said, "Irina, I know things may seem rough right now. Even if he isn't alive anymore, you are. It's not easy to take in, it's a lot but look at this as… a new life. Try to live it the way you want to. I know I'm sounding like a huge hypocrite."

Irina laid there as she sniffled trying to calm herself down. Irina just closed her eyes as she let sleep claim her allowing her to sleep. Itachi laid there as he slowly let the night take its toll allowing him to sleep on his own.


Next Day

Itachi opened his eyes to find the rays of sunlight peeking through the curtains. He sat up and realized today was Sunday, he stood up and went and closed the curtains to stop the sun. He looked over to his left to see Irina still sound asleep in her bed. Itachi made left the room deciding to go take a shower. He walked out to find Rias and Xenovia sleeping on the couch opposite of one another. He went into the changing room and took a quick shower.

It didn't take too long, he teleported home and got a fresh new change of clothes. Then he quickly teleported back and went towards the room Irina was sleeping in. He walked up to the door and knocked.

No response, Itachi was going to enter but Irina spoke up, "Itachi… could you go out and get me something to eat?" Itachi raised an eyebrow and nodded his head.

"I'll be back." Itachi made a shadow clone to keep watch and left to go get breakfast for everyone. Itachi grabbed a couple of blankets that were on the side and covered Rias and Xenovia and left. Itachi made his way through the streets with a lot on his mind, "Something doesn't feel right… I don't know what it is." Itachi found a small store and bought some bread, a small tub of butter, warm breakfast sandwiches, and some orange juice for everyone. Itachi brought everything up to the cash register.

"Is everything alright sir?" The cashier rang up all the food which Itachi took out his wallet and paid.

Itachi closed his eyes and sighed, "Just a lot has happened, a friend of mine is in a lot of distress." Itachi handed the money over and opened his eyes to see the cashier. The woman had to be no older than twenty-two with brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a mole under her eye.

"I see, then well I hope you figure whatever their issue out. If they're in distress all I can tell you is to be open-minded. Make sure you're always there for them, it's not an easy world we live in." The woman said wisely as Itachi nodded his head and gave the woman a small smile of thanks.

"Thank you, have a good day." Itachi left the store as he began to walk back to the ORC. However, he had a bad feeling in his gut, that's when his shadow clone disappeared, "IRINA YOU FOOL!" Itachi quickly looked around and ran to an alley and teleported to Rias. Once he appeared he dropped the food on the ground and ran into Irina's room.

"YOU IDIOT!" Xenovia shouted holding Irina in her arms. Itachi ran over and looked at Irina's wrist, he saw that she slashed them. Itachi looked around and saw the window shattered and shards next to Irina's hand.

"L-Leave me… I-I… I don't w-want to l-live." Irina said weakly as she felt her warm blood leaving her wrists.

Rias didn't know what to say, she began to question if this was the right choice. However, Itachi quickly rushed moved in as he tried to use medical ninjutsu to heal her. However, it was for naught as Itachi wasn't proficient in it. Itachi said, "Irina you fool! Dammit! Don't do what I pulled!" Itachi saw what Irina did is what he did in his old life. Itachi didn't know what to do, and there was no way to get Asia here in time. Healing it wouldn't replenish the blood Irina lost. Itachi had to gamble everything as there was nothing more he could do. He wasn't even too sure if it would work. Itachi moved his hand up to Irina's face as he gently opened her eyelids, "Irina can you see my eyes?" Itachi asked as he made a shadow clone to keep her eyes open.

Irina didn't know what was going on, "Did I really do this… to think I'd fall so low to do this. I-I just don't know what to do anymore. W-Why is Itachi asking me to look into his eyes." Irina was beginning to lose focus, but she did however stare into Itachi's eyes, "I guess looking into his eyes before I go again… is something good to see."

Itachi's eyes spun into the Mangekyou Sharingan, "Forgive me Rias, but I need to break our promise." Itachi gathered up a huge amount of magical energy which Rias and Xenovia both feel well upside of Itachi. His chakra built up all into his eyes as he simply said, Izanagi! Itachi's left eye turned white as Irina who laid in Xenovia's lap and held by his Shadow Clone. Itachi leaned forward gasping for air as he felt the drain on his chakra and magic pool.

Xenovia screamed, "WHERE IS SHE! WHERE DID SHE!" Xenovia shot her head at Itachi ready to kill him.

Rias was shocked to hear the word Izanagi come from Itachi's voice. A Shinto god, it made Rias forgot he even had that. Itachi held his hand over his left eye as he tried to control his breathing. He was also coughing up blood into his left hand which covered his mouth. Rias worriedly stood up placing a hand on Itachi's back, "Itachi what's wrong!? What did you do!? How could that cause so much strain on you!?"

Itachi slowly stopped as he wheezed for a bit, "Irina… is… fine." Itachi said in between gasps as he looked at the bed.

Xenovia turned her head to find a breathing alive Irina on the bed with her eyes wide, "IRINA!" Xenovia shot from her spot tackling Irina into a hug. Irina still trying to figure what just happened, "YOU IDIOT WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" Irina frowned as she looked at the ground.

Rias continued to check over Itachi, "Lift your head let me see what's wrong with you?" Rias froze as she saw what once was a beautiful black eye, was a pure white.

Itachi let a small smile out, "Yeah, sorry about that Rias just a little tired now." Itachi said as he sat up and leaned up against the wall.

"Y-Your eye… what happened to it?" Rias asked shocked and upset, Xenovia and Irina both turned their heads to see Itachi up against the wall.

"I used a kinjutsu called the Izanagi." Itachi added as he looked up to see Irina, with his good eye, to see that she was alright.

"Izanagi… forbidden technique?" Rias added with a hint of sadness and worry in her voice. She didn't like that Itachi gave up his sight. Then again, it's what her Itachi would do, giving up things for the sake of people he cared about.

"Itachi… what did you do? Why did you save me? I-I didn't want to be saved!" Irina asked upset with some tears forming at the corners of her eyes.

"Because you're my friend, Irina, regardless of who we are or what we are. Take this new opportunity in life to live it the way you want to." Itachi smiles brightly towards Irina as she began to shake her head. Itachi stood up and walked over to her with the help of Rias. Xenovia broke her hug to let Itachi talk to her, "I'm a hypocrite you know that Irina? I'm the one who originally wanted to die… now I don't want to thanks to my friends. Everyone I made, that includes you, Irina, now I want to make sure your life a happy life."

"Y-You fool! *sob* W-Why did you give up your eye! *sob* F-For me!" Irina put her hands up to her face crying as Itachi pulled her into a hug.

Itachi opened his eyes and smiled down at her, "It's okay Irina, I'm happy to do so, I'd do it again." Xenovia couldn't help but feel horrible for the things she said to Asia and how she felt towards devils. This whole scenario has changed her opinion entirely.

Rias was upset, mad, but she couldn't help but let the motions of proudness and happiness take over, "Itachi you really are amazing you know that?"

Itachi smiled, "I'm okay with what I did, I just hope this acts as a lesson for you Irina. Don't take your new life for granted, I know I did, now I'm trying to live it to the fullest." Itachi sat down next to Irina as she began to cry into his chest again as he held her.

Xenovia wiped a tear from her eye as she said, "T-Thank you… thank you all so much. I can't begin to tell you how much it means to me. I'm sorry for how I treated you guys, I guess not all devils are bad." Xenovia bowed her head to Rias and Itachi.

"Don't think twice about it, I was more than happy to help. Maybe this can begin to ease the rift between the factions. Don't you think?" Rias said with a smile as Xenovia nodded her head.

"Let's take this Kokabielbastard down, maybe we can begin to forge this alliance and peace agreements between the factions." Xenovia relaxed her shoulders as she continued to look at Irina. She was glad that she was safe, alive, and would be cared for.

Irina didn't know what to think, she feels bad for throwing Rias's revival on her in the face. She felt bad that Itachi used that technique on her to save her. Irina looked up from Itachi's chest and looked at Itachi. Then her eyes drifted to Rias as she bowed her head, "I-I'm sorry… I-I'm just finding it really hard to… admit I'm a devil now. I-I believed in him so much… finding out he… is gone hurt… then me being a devil. Pushed me over the edge, the only way I thought I could repent… was to end myself."

Rias smiled placing a hand on her hip, "Well I'm glad you've seemed to have changed, but I still do suggest going to see a psychiatrist. They'll help you more than we can, but I hope you can see this as a new leaf." Rias leaned in and gave Irina a sisterly hug, "Your part of my peerage now, you're my precious servant, my family, I'll never let anyone or anything hurt you." The Gremory's infamous doting on their peerage came to the surface as Irina smiled.

Itachi then fell on the bed on top of Irina surprising her, "W-What!? HUH!?" Irina began to blush as Itachi fell asleep on Irina's chest making her blush. Irina then relaxed to find him asleep, "Oh… I guess that took a lot out of him?"

"Yeah, I bet it did." Rias and Xenovia both gently moved Itachi off Irina laying him on the bed, "He can't strain himself too much, otherwise this happens. The disease limits his stamina. I bet that jutsu he cast with chakra and magic took a huge toll on his body."

"You said you needed ingredients for a devil's grace, right? Well, when this is over. I'll ask my higher-ups to let me talk to Michael-sama. They have a lot to explain, now that Irina is safe. I feel more at ease." Xenovia explained holding up her hand explaining what she wanted to do to repay Itachi.

"Really! That'd be great!" Rias said with excitement but then blushed in embarrassment, but her embarrassed smile turned into a smile of worry. "I-I just want to make sure he's healthy again. I-I really care about him."

"You really care about Itachi…" Irina blushed a bit as she turned her head looking at the sleeping Itachi. She smiled and she decided there and then, granted she was just thinking about killing herself before. However, when one friend goes so far as to save you. You ignore it, shame on yourself, but when a friend gives up their vision to save you again. She was selfish and deserved this then, but Irina wanted to use this to redeem herself.

"Redeem yourself, Irina, prove that me resurrecting you, and Itachi giving up his eye for you was worth it. Prove that to us, Irina, I'm sure you'll be able to forgive yourself." Rias patted Irina on her head as she let a small smile appear on her face.

"I see." Irina began to look at the window she broke, "I-I'm sorry about the mess too." Irina scratched her cheek seeing the broken glass, blood, and the stain on the rug.

"Don't worry, nothing a little bit a magic can't fix." Rias added as then some voices came from the other room.

"Woah what's going on in… Woah! What the heck happened!" Issei shouted as he saw everyone around Irina and a sleeping Itachi on the bed.

Koneko simply said, "I smell blood… lots of it."

Rias turned to Irina who let a low sigh out, "Well I guess I better tell them." Irina nervously squeezed her arm.

It took a bit, but Irina told everyone what she did to herself. Which many of them didn't judge, it was a lot for Irina to take in. Though no one scolded her, which made Irina really only feel worse, "So what's wrong with Itachi-Nii?" Issei asked confusingly.

"Well, even I don't know how he did it. It's an ability with the Sharingan, Izanagi. All I know is Irina disappeared when she had her injuries as if nothing ever happened." Rias was sitting next to Itachi as he slept away in the bed. She gently to play with his hair, "Then he coughed up a lot of blood, and fatigue overtook him. He used chakra and used magic to redirect the jutsu to Irina. Then again, even I don't know what he entirely did."

"We can ask him when he wakes up. I-I'm going to do my best for you guys, and Itachi. I'm deeply sorry again, for the way I acted from your kindness." Irina bowed her head again still feeling horrible for spitting in Rias's kindness.

"Like I said, I'm glad you're fine now. Now that Itachi got to you, we can all welcome our new members to our group. Though how will you explain this to the higher-ups?" Rias asked looking at Xenovia as she thought about it.

"It might not be a bad thing once we recover Excalibur or we destroy it. However, I foresee us being allies if Michael-sama is willing to be to do so. I'll be forever in your debt if you ever need help. Don't ever hesitate to call for me." Xenovia looked over to Issei who smiled and waved to him, "Thank you too Issei… you comforted me when I needed it the most. Thank you." Xenovia bowed her head with a tint of pink staining her cheeks.

"Yeah, no problem! Irina's a dear friend of mine along with Nii-san's… well maybe dearer to Nii-san." Issei chuckled a bit with Irina blushing a bit as her head turned away so no one could see.

"Ara it seems Buchou isn't the only one after Itachi-kun's heart!" Akeno giggled as Itachi slowly began to sit back up.

"Ugh, what happened?" Itachi asked sitting up which everyone turned their heads to them. However, everyone but Rias, Irina, and Xenovia gasp as Itachi opened both of his eyes.

"You passed out after casting the Izanagi… but your eye." Rias added worriedly with everyone else staying silent. Itachi saw the upset look on Irina as she had a hard time looking at him.

Itachi moved forward and placed his fingers on Irina's head, "Hey don't look so down, I don't regret anything. I did it because I care because you're my friend. I'd do it again." Itachi smiled as he sat back.

"Itachi… what is the Izanagi?" Rias asked curiously which everyone else nodded interestedly.

Venessa in her cat form came walking in, "Nya Itachi what happened?" Venessa saw Itachi's white eye.

"Well, it's something you couldn't have done. I didn't have you declare Xenovia and Irina as people I care about. But I want you to do that now." Itachi ordered which Venessa nodded her head looking at the two.

"Who is she?" Xenovia asked looking at Itachi.

"She is my familiar, her main orders to are to keep the others safe. She is around me when the others are with me. Venessa always makes sure Issei, Asia, Koneko, Kiba, and Akeno are safe. Alerts me when they're in danger, including Rias too. I should have had her recognize you and Irina." Itachi felt bad for not doing so, he was going to do it. He just never got around to doing it, so he couldn't really blame her for any of this, "Now onto the Izanagi, with a normal genjutsu, a user will apply an illusion to a target's senses, causing the target to experience things that are not real. With Izanagi, the user applies an illusion to reality itself, giving the user control over what is and is not real for as long as Izanagi is active. Users typically do this in order to protect themselves, negating any injuries they receive or even their deaths. When this happens, their injured self-fades away as an illusion and their non-injured self immediately materializes in the previous self's place. In exchange for the brief control over the reality that Izanagi grants them, the Sharingan that they perform it with becomes blind; to lose it in this way prompted it was label as a kinjutsu." Itachi explained which Rias was impressed with the ability but not the side effect, "Venessa works kinda like that, but it's only she can help before something this has happened. However, the Izanagi can be performed after something has happened. Then again... I don't know if she can save people from hurting themselves." Which Venesaa nodded her head showing that Itachi indeed correct.

"How did you cast it then? You said it was can only be used on oneself." Irina tilted her head confused.

"I-I'm not too sure even myself. I-I just pushed beyond what was limited to me. Magic can be cast onto others; the Izanagi can only be cast on oneself. So, I combined both and forced the jutsu to be cast onto you. Therefore, I'm in this state. If Kokabielwere to attack now, even I'm not too sure I'd win right now." Itachi coughed into his sleeve revealing blood which made the room remain silent.

"Well let's all lick our wounds, heal up, eat, and regain our energy. We should report this to Sona. We could use her help depending on what happens, I don't want anyone going on pacts this week. Not until Kokabielis taken care of we need every man or woman available." Rias stood up ready for the day, "Anyone hungry?"

"Wait let me see if I can heal you!" Asia hopped onto the bed and placed her hands on Itachi's face. Asia began to focus her magic on Itachi's eye. Irina was hopeful that Asia would be able to help.

After a little bit, Asia was unsuccessful in restoring Itachi's eye. Asia concentrated her into his eye, nothing worked. Itachi's vision did not return whatsoever, Itachi saw Asia hang her head upset. Itachi said, "Asia…" She looked up at him with an upset look on her face, "It's okay don't worry about it, you did what you could." He poked her forehead making Asia puffed her cheeks out. She was still upset, but he did make her feel better.


In Between Life and Death

"Well, he certainly has learned some new things. I'm quite surprised though… then again, I shouldn't be. I guess giving him my chakra was the best thing to give him before he went over huh?" Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at the blue orb of light next to him.

"Yes, I would agree with you there. I didn't think he'd use it so soon, then again he is Itachi." The blue orb continued to float watching the scene play in front of them.

"Well granted he might not be my reincarnate but having my chakra within him. Will help him awaken the Rinnegan one day and allow him to cure his blindness." Hagoromo added with interest as the blue orb chuckled. Hagoromo looked at him as he raised an eyebrow.

"You're funny, you think I'd make it that simple? Yeah, you gave him your chakra, but I made it hard for him to unlock it. It won't be that simple, there one and only one way to unlock it. He has to find that out himself." The blue orb continued to smile at his ingenious idea behind his madness.

"What do you mean? Did you mean for something else to happen?" Hagoromo looked at the orb confused.

"Well, this world has been quite dull, I've seen it over, and over, and over again. I wanted to add in some elements of my own." If the blue orb had a face, it would be a smirking look on his face.

Hagoromo sighed, "Alright well I guess we'll just watch and see what happens." Hagoromo said with an interested tone, he really was fascinated with how Itachi would live this new life.

A/N: Alright that's it for this chapter! Now… I know some people would want Xenovia to join like regular, but I thought something different would be cool. As for Irina's attempt at suicide…I feel like it's justified because of Irina's beliefs. That's my reasoning for that, Itachi used his Izanagi to save her. Yes, I know, I know it sounds retarded dumb, idiotic, but to me, it's something I can play around with. I feel like it because ninjutsu can never really be cast to save someone unless it's medical ninjutsu. So, I thought… maybe if Itachi could bend his chakra and magic to do his bidding. I feel like it was logical for him to use the Izanagi on Irina. Like I said in the chapter, Itachi DID NOT have Irina and Xenovia considered friends to save them for Venessa. As for why? Well plot convenience, it will be a struggle for Irina no doubt about that. She will go through therapy and seek help a lot from Itachi. Yes, Irina will get her holy sword back, the Excalibur fragments WILL NOT be infused with Durandal like in the anime. Irina needs some sort of sword. I am not changing how I had Irina became a devil or anything like that. I needed it to happen for a reason as such, as for Issei and Xenovia that's still happening. Xenovia will become Michael's Ace. Now I have an idea of what I want to do to alter this story a bit. As to what elements I want to add in… well I'm working on that. I would like to drag the Akatsuki back in, but it would be pointless to do so. Maybe Deidara would be worth it because he technically wants Itachi dead. Idk how exactly I want to do that yet, maybe I'll do an OC Otsutsuki or something, I think it be cool to do so! Well, let me know if you guys got any ideas, issues, concerns, or reviews! Anyways! TitanFall007 OUT! Ja Ne!
