I must answer a couple reviews before I begin:
Rato: Oh...really? Huh...I always thought the guy saw him as a brother... *mutters* damn it. *clears throat* I guess I'll make Yumi fall for Fem!Issei soon if that's the case. (Don't take the mutter the wrong way. It's more like...well...I may have a huge crush on Yuuto...now I feel bad for having a crush on him...)
Guest: Really? Several websites told me that "Eeto" means "Well"...
Anyway, here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
"ASHEEEEER!" Issei cried out in grief. The male was unconscious and didn't answer her. Her breath became shaky. She continued to cry, looking down at the ground.
Episode 5: I'm Gonna Defeat My Ex-Boyfriend!-Part 1
"I've been craving this kind of power for years!" Raynark gleefully shouted with the rings of Asher's Twilight Healing on his palms. "With this, I can conquer love! I need this power right now!" He then put the rings into his chest, making him blush and gasp as green light shone across the room. Issei, Yumi, and Kabu covered their eyes. They then saw the hot fallen angel laugh evilly and turned around to them, glowing green. "I'm now the SURPEME fallen angel! I can finally get pay back to those that've insulted me before!"
Issei gritted her teeth, looked up at him, and yelled furiously, "YOU'LL PAY, YOU BASTARD!" She then got out her bow and arrow and shot the arrow at the crowd of priests and nuns. Some of them lunged for her, but she shot explosive arrows at them as well. One nun swung her light sword at the female pervert, but Yumi used her light-absorbing sword to block her. As the light was extinguishing, the nun gasped. Kabu then fearlessly punched her away. Soon, the two engaged battles between the priests and nuns. The brown-haired female looked in awe as they were knocking them out, one-by-one.
"Kiba? Kabu-kun?" she whispered. She then smiled. They were clearing a way for her, in which she appreciates. "Thanks, you guys!" She then ran through the middle and up the stairs, crying, "ASHER!" She then reached to the top, panting for air. It hurts her to see him like this. She walked towards him, making Raynark step out of her way and smirk. "Asher-kun..."
"This is the reward you're getting for going this far," the fallen angel stated before he snapped his fingers. The chains around Asher broke, making his bulge bounce a little and his body fall. Issei caught him.
"A-Asher-kun?" she asked in a sad voice. "Are you al-alright?"
He began to stir, slowing opening his eyes to see Issei's watered ones. "I...Issei-san...?" he questioned, a smile slipping across his face.
She smiled at him as well. "I'm here for you. Remember that."
His eyes began to water. "Th-thanks..." He began to pant for air.
"You can have him," Raynark said as he walked behind the brown-haired devil.
She turned her face to him and glared daggers at him. "Stop messing with me! Give him back his Sacred Gear!" she yelled.
Raynark scoffed, turning his back on her and showing his butt. "Don't be silly," he replied. "I even lied to my superiors to carry out this plan." He then formed another light lance. "Unfortunately, you devils saw what happen." His eyes turned sadistic and turned his body to her. "But dying with him won't be so bad, now would it?"
As Yumi knocked out another nun, she shouted at Issei, "Hyoudou-chan! We're coming to a disadvantage here!"
The brown-haired female looked down in sorrow. "You were my first boyfriend..." she muttered.
"Yeah I was," Raynark replied. "I wasn't surprised by how innocent you were though. It was fun teasing a girl who's inexperienced with guys."
"And I was going to...cherish our relationship..." she continued, sniffling a little.
He chuckled and proceeded to act like 'Yuuto'. "'You were so caring when I looked slightly troubled! But that was all only pretense.'" Issei started to feel pissed off. "'To see your cute, silly face when you're confused and at wit's end!'"
"Yuuto-kun...I really loved you...and even dressed up for you on our first date..." She began to cry again. "I was so determined to make the date a wonderful one..."
'Yuuto' laughed. "Oh really?" He then returned back to his normal voice and demeanor. "Well, I didn't see anything go wrong on that date." He frowned. "But it was getting too frickin' boring." Issei's heart dropped and she gasped.
"Yu-Yuuto-kun...?" she asked in a rather shaky and depressed voice. She tried her best on that date, yet it truly bored Raynark...
Multiple light spears aimed at Richard, but Akihiko jumped in front of him and used a magic circle to shield it. "Not bad," said Milo, who was sitting on a tree with Galanaki and Donnasia.
"But we'll see how long that fragile barrier lasts!" shouted the blue-haired fallen angel.
"The magical barrier only makes things worse for you," added the elderly woman.
The blonde-haired fallen angel scoffed. "Or are we supposed to let the others go because of it?" He pointed his finger at them. "Nah! We won't let you escape!" Richard looked at him with a serious face while Akihiko was smiling. "Your servants might be in for a beating right now! Especially that perverted girl who fell in love with Raynark-sama! I'm sure she's long-"
Richard smirked at him and interrupted, "Don't underestimate Issei." Milo shot him a confused look.
"Eh?"
"She IS my strongest pawn, after all," he added.
"'Yuuto'," Raynark said to the brown-haired girl, who looked both sorrowed and pissed off. "I chose that name because I wanted to come off as a gentle lover for you. Turned out to be the perfect disguise so I can kill you at dusk." He chuckled a little before frowning. "But you HAD to survive and HAD to make Asher your boyfriend afterwards." He, once again, got back to his "Yuuto" voice. "'I can't believe you, Issei-chan. You'd choose him over me?! Not only that, but you took him on a fucking boring date as well? Tcch, women. But hey, it might as well be interesting to a country boy like him. Oh, I don't know, maybe he was like..." He paused to mimic Asher's voice. "'I've never had so much fun in my life, Issei-san!'" He then laughed after, making Issei extremely pissed off at him. She couldn't believe she actually loved this asshole.
"RAYNARK!" she yelled angrily with tears streaming from her eyes.
"Don't say my name so casually, bitch!" he yelled back with a killer look and grin on his face and another light lance in his hand. He was ready to throw it at her. "You're defiling it!"
She held the blonde-haired priest close and thought angrily, HE'S the devil here! I won't... He then tried to stab her, but she quickly dodged it and ran down the stairs with Asher on her arms. The "supreme" fallen angel lost his grin and scoffed at her in disbelief.
As she was running, Yumi and Kabu were still fending off the nuns and priests to clear her way. Kiba? Kabu-kun? she thought. She stopped and turned back at them. Yumi was pointing one of her swords at the crowd while Kabu was in a fighting position.
The blonde-haired beauty turned to her and shouted, "Hyoudou-chan! Run! Kabu-kun and I will hold them off for you!" She paused as she blocked a nun's attack, only for Kabu to hit her after. "Go! We can handle them!"
"But I-" Issei said before Kabu interrupted her.
"Just hurry up and run," he suggested as he kicked a priest in the head after he tore his tie with his sword.
The female pervert admired their concern for her and turned back, only to say to them, "Kiba, Kabu-kun...please call me 'Issei' from now on!" She paused to run up the stairs. "Please! We're a team, after all!" Yumi and Kabu smiled at her as she ran up the stairs with the priest in her arms. Thanks, you guys... she thought as she looked down at Asher, more tears coming through her eyes. Asher-kun...please hang in there...
"'Pawn'?" questioned the little boy. "Oh yeah, you depict your servants as chess pieces. As if the game wasn't boring enough!" He then sighed. "Aren't the pawns those pieces that stand in front or something like that?"
"Basically lambs to the slaughter?" asked Galanaki.
Akihiko scoffed. "Eeto, eeto~, our club president would never sacrifice any pieces~," the raven-haired man answered.
When Issei and Asher reached to the hall of the church, she laid him down on a seat. He was sweating like crazy. Panting, she said, "Please Asher-kun...please hang in there...you'll be free once we get the hell out of here." He then opened his eyes and tensed up a little. He raised his hand up to her, making her grab it with both hands and squeeze it gently. A couple more tears fell out of her eyes. "We'll return to having fun together, we'll always have fun together..."
He smiled at her and said weakly, "It wasn't for long...but...I'm glad that I made a friend...finally." He squeezed her hands with his gently to comfort her.
"Wh-what are you saying?! There are many other places I wanted to show you!" More tears came out of her eyes while his sparkled in happiness. "There's the-um-karaoke bars, the-the amusement parks, the bowling alleys...we can take more silly pictures and get more Racchu-chans!" The priest smiled widely and chuckled a little. "A-and that's not even the half of it! There's the...um..." She began to sob and tighten her grip on his hand, never wanting him to die. "My friends...I'll introduce you to them. Matsuyo and Motoe...they might be two perverted girls, but they're really nice too..." She began to cry on her hands and his hands and continued sobbing. "They'd be glad to be your friends, Asher-kun!" She tried to smile and stop sobbing. "Then we'll have a BIG party! With cake and confetti and..." She trailed off, losing her smile. What the hell was she babbling about? She wished she hadn't babble, but Asher was going to die and she couldn't control herself.
Asher himself, however, liked her babbling. He thought it was funny and if they were to happen, it would be so awfully nice of her to do so. "If I were born here and gone to school with you, Issei-san..." he started, still keeping his smile. "It would be so wonderful..."
Issei smiled at him through her tears. "Let's go-no, you have to come...please?" she asked. She removed her hands from his. However, his hand cupped her cheek, making her gasp and blush in surprise. He wiped the tears from her cheeks. His eyes began to water.
"You're crying for me..." he said as tears escaped from his eyes. "I am so happy...you care that much about me..." He closed his eyes and smiled sadly. "Thank you so much...thank you..." His hand then slipped from her cheek and touched the ground. His eyes remained shut and he still kept his smile. Asher, however, wasn't moving. That meant that he was...dead.
Issei covered her face with her hands and continued to cry and sob. "Asher-kun..." she said quietly and sadly. "Why...why did you need to die?" She then hugged his body, her tears falling on his shoulders and back. "You were a kind guy...that would cure anyone including devils..." She then opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling, and angrily shouted, "God! I know you're there! Don't take him! Please, God, please! He didn't anything wrong! He just wanted some friends! Even though I'm a devil, listen to me! Does his life mean nothing to you since he became friends with a devil?! Please, I beg of you!" She sobbed into his shoulder, still not believing that he was dead.
"Wow, a devil repenting in a church?" Raynark's voice asked, making her stop crying and sobbing and look at him. He was leaning against the altar with his arms crossed, smirking. "That's one nasty joke there, especially when the devil is waaay too emotional..."
The brown-haired devil gritted her teeth at the sight of him. She wanted him gone, gone for good. She set Asher's body down and shouted from the top of her lungs, "RAYNAAAAARK!"
Akihiko got blow away by Donnasia's power, but managed to get back on his feet. "You seem to think that little girl is so capable," she stated in disbelief. "But she would never stand a chance against Raynark-sama, no matter how good she is." She then formed a light spear in her hand.
Milo giggled. "He's her ex-boyfriend, after all!" he added as he flew up higher, showing the top of his underwear, and formed a light spear in his hand. Richard gave him a sharp glare. "Raynark-sama told us what he did to her! Man, it was freaking hilarious!"
Donnasia giggled as well as she flew to his height. "Let's not go there, Milo," she said to him. "Just thinking about it makes me laugh out loud."
Galanaki joined them with a light spear as well. "I'll admit, it was pretty comical to hear," he added. They all then threw their spears in sync.
"President!" shouted Akihiko. Richard, however, had a magic circle appear under him in an instant, blowing his hair and shirt up, revealing a bit of the top of his underwear, and glowed red. The light spears bounced off of him like they were rubber balls.
"What the-they bounced off of him?!" Galanaki exclaimed in shock.
"So, you three decided to make fun of my cute servant..." he muttered in anger. The three fallen angels looked at him in fear.
"Eeto, eeto~, you shouldn't try to make him pissed off~," the raven-haired devil warned with a smile on his face. "You silly fallen angels~!" The red-haired man then shot a large bulb of energy towards them, the three fallen angels screaming.
Raynark showed a bleeding cut on his arm to Issei. "Look at this: The knight girl managed to do this to me on my way here," he stated.
Now that he mentioned them... "Where's Kiba and Kabu-kun?!" she asked in a furious voice.
He healed his scratch and bragged, "Isn't this nice? Now I can heal everything." As the cut became nonexistent, he went on, "It's a nice power for us fallen angels since we don't have Divine Protection anymore." He then looked like he was praying. "This firmly secures my status as a fallen angel." He sighed in relief. "I can now assist Azalea-sama and Shemhako-sama!"
"So?" Issei asked angrily. He looked at her with unfriendly eyes. "He never discriminated between fallen angels and devils."
He stopped leaning against the altar. "Believe or not, this is the destiny of those bestowed with a Sacred Gear-"
"There's no such thing as 'destiny'! He could've lived a peaceful life, you bastard!"
"Yeah, right. Sacred Gears are too much for humans to handle. No matter how good they are, unusual powers are bound to be feared and their wielders shunned for it."
What Asher said to Issei earlier in the day echoed in her head, "People in the church started calling me a treacherous wizard because I could heal devils, so I was branded a heretic because of it." And then she remembered him saying, "I have no friends, you see." That's why he doesn't have any friends...? the brown-haired girl asked internally.
"That's just the way it is," Raynark continued. "Humans are like that." His rings began to glow green. "Even with such an amazing power!"
She shook her head at him. "But I'm Asher's friend! I tried to protect him as a friend!"
The raven-haired fallen angel began to laugh. "But then he fucking died! So much for 'protecting' him, bitch!" He pointed at her with an evil smile on his face. "You failed protecting him then and you failed protecting him now!"
The brown-haired female looked down and closed her eyes. He was right, but... "I know that..." she said as she clenched her fists. "That's why...I would never forgive...either of us!" She cried and shot open her furious-looking eyes. "I can never forgive any of it!"
"Use your brain," Richard's voice echoed in her head. "Sacred Gear is activated by its owner's will."
"Give him back..." she muttered, looking down at her hands. She imagined Asher and Richard naked.
"The greater your willpower...the more powerful it will become."
A green orb appeared under her left hand and shouted, "Dragon Boost!" Raynark lost her grin and looked at her Sacred Gear forming in her hands. She let out a battle cry and shot an arrow at him, only for him to quickly dodge it.
"Like I said," he reminded her. "You wield a Longnius, but you're too weak to use it."
She gripped hard on her newly-created arrow. She thought of more power, the gauntlet yelling, "Boost!" She then shot the arrow at him, but he dodged that as well, his evil grin returning.
"You've gotten a little stronger, bitch." He then formed two light lances and threw them at Issei's sides, making them bleed and her cough out blood.
Eye Catch #9: Asher is sitting on a checkered floor with a yellow-green background and is wearing a full school gym uniform with shorts, socks, and sneakers. His legs are spread apart, showing his bulge, and he's stretching to the right, touching the tip of his sneaker with his hand. He looks focused on the exercise.
Done! What do you think? It's not too shabby, right?
