Asia Argento, the heart and soul of Rias's peerage however it had not been smooth sailing for Asia had not entered under normal circumstances. Asia had lived her life as a pure and honest as she could do and yet she always felt ostracized by those around her, as she had been blessed with a unique gift however all it had cost her, the way of life she had when she excommunicated from the church, as well as her life when she died at Raynare's hands. And every night since she joined the peerage she had relived those moments , At first waking to the sight of being alive after Rias brought her back, then as time went on the nightmares got worse, as she began to hear a voice echoing through her head calling her a weakling and began to feel the pain she felt as her very blessing was pulled from her body, as if she was being torn apart from the inside out, and every night she woke in tears, but she never cried not wanting to worry anyone if they heard her cries. As the months of broken sleep caught up with her, Asia began to lose her normal habits, which was noticed one day by Issei while at school. While in class Issei who was struggling as usual to concentrate on math's work that had been shown, so as always he turned to see, Kiba writing away as, usual and Xenovia looking equally as confused as he was, at that moment, but as he looked to Asia he saw she was lying on her desk asleep.

"That's not normal... Asia never falls asleep in class, I know this is boring but still, she's usually writing or listening to the teacher, but shes sleeping" Issei thought to himself as she saw Asia sleeping peacefully.

"Ill need to ask when the class is over" Issei turned back to board and sighed as he had far more important matters to attend to once class was over. After class ended the rest of the class went their separate ways, Kiba and Xenovia went off to the club room, but Issei waited, until everyone had left before he woke Asia,

"Asia...Asia" Issei whispered as he lightly shook Asia.

"Five more …..minutes" Asia yawned as she woke up,turning away from Issei.

"Asia, class it over, we have to get to the club room, Rias wants to talk with us" Issei sighed as shook Asia again, a little harder, causing Asia to jump out of her skin.

"AAH...oh Issei I am... sorry, I must have fell asleep... did I miss much?" Asia whimpered.

"Yeah like the entire class." Issei sighed his voice shaking a little

"Oh, I can't believe it..." Asia sighed as she covers her face with her hands,

"It's fine, I copied the notes for the class so you can use mine." Issei took one of the seats from the desk and sat I front of Asia desk

"Thanks, Issei...I owe you one." Asia, smiled but yawned not long after

"No problem Asia...You okay, I've never seen you fall asleep in class before." Shinji whispered.

"I'm fine Issei, just didn't get a good sleep last night that's all." Asia sighed trying to reassure Issei she was fine, by taking his hand in hers.

"You must be worried about something; I know when I get stressed, I can't sleep." Issei squeezed Asias hand.

"Yes that's it. I've been worried about some upcoming tests and...i don't want to fail them, you know." Asia whispered, nodding as she spoke. She knew she was lying herbut she didn't want to make Issei worry about her any more than he already was.

"I see... how about after we go to the club, we look at what your worrying about for the exams, and I could study with you... if you'd like?" Issei looked to Asia his eyes showing his concern

"I'd really appreciate that issei... thank you" Asia smiled and leaned over the desk and hugged Issei who hugged her back. After this they got up from their chairs and headed for the club room.

After arriving a few minutes late, they were greeted to the news that today was a training day by Rias who wanted them to get some training in as she was preparing to enter them into a rating game in a few months and wanted the training to start as soon as possible, during the talk she brought up that Asia needed to develop her group healing powers which would be key to help the team train harder as they would be able to recover from injuries at a far quicker rate. After the talk the team headed to the sports field and began to warm up.

"Right gang, we have to get some training in I know it's a few months before we have our next rating game, but I cannot let any of our skills, dip. So today I want to focus on Asia as her healing powers will make the difference in a potential squad on squad match, so Asia" Rias called as the team listened contently.

"Yes Rias." Asia moved closer to Rias.

"I want you to first use your heal on everyone individually, I will cast a damage spell on us all to imitate actual damage done in a fight and I want you to heal us all individually then, once that's over I want you to attempt to heal the entire team in one go, I known it may be much, but it will allow me to see how much need to work, Andy what we can do to make it easier for you okay." Rias smiled patting Asia on the shoulder.

"Okay Rias, I'll do it." Asia whispered as she went to an area already marked out and stood straight up, movingly her shoulders around in an attempt to loosen up.

"Right I'm about to cast the spell, anybody want to ask anything before we start." Rias bellowed as she saw everybody was smiling, with Issei giving her a thumbs up.

"Glamour damage!" Rias yelled throwing her hands into the air as a red symbol similar to that found in Celtic art appeared, and a wave of red energy hitting all within its radius, as the wave hit the team, they felt a warm sensation cover them and their bod began to show injuries, specifically red scratches Bruises and abrasions hitch covered their bodies, but had no effect on those effected in terms of their health.

"First up Xenovia." Rias called as Xenovia walked over to Asia, and l Asia activated her twilight healing and focused her healing energy, she saw as the wounds that littered Xenovia's body, began to evaporate until Xenovia was unmarked. The process went down the line as Asia healed every member sent to her, and she felt as if she wasn't doing too bad, given how tired she was, she had expected her powers to faulter but she knew she had to conserve her energy for the next phase, which seemed like it wouldn't be Ann Issei a SN she finished off healing Issei, who smiled as he saw Asia smiling at her success.

"Good work Asia, now onto the main show, I need you to focus all your energy into this...you think you can still keep it up." Rias asked as she noticed a need of sweat sliding down Asia's cheek.

"I...should be fine Rias, don't worry." Asia whispered and smiled reassuring Rias that she was still up for the task.

"Glamour damage! Rias yelled and again the rest of the team were marked by the spell, Asia then focused her magic and managed to heal the entire team, it was slow, but seemed to be working, however for Asia the spell was extremely draining, so much so that she wasn't begab to get lightheaded and her vision was becoming fuzzy, but Shen persevered. as Asia began pushed herself further a familiar voice began to speak to her, from within her mind.

"Asia...AAAsia" the voice whispered.

"It's the same voice from my nightmares...what do you want?" Asia called to the voice as it became louder in her head.

Asia...I am here to take... what is rightfully mine" the voice hissed.

"What do you mean! I have nothing that you would want." Asia yelped

"I want your body, and your sacredness gear!" The voice bellowed as Asia realised who the voice belonged to,

"It can't be." Asia mumbled as she felt her spirit being torn apart as if the voice was somehow trying to tear her soul from her body.

"It's good to Be back." The voiced said happily as Asia screamed from inside HER mind, and the voice took control.

"At that moment Asia stopped he returned healing, the wounds still being present to some degree, o everyone.

"Asia, can you keep it up any longer?" Rias Called as Asia raised her hands and summoned her healing spell, but as soon as she cast it on the team, they felt different. They felt drained, as if they were losing power, as they realised this Asia, looked up her eyes pure white, and gasped as he collapsed to the ground

.

"Asia! The group yelled a small they ran to Asia who was unconscious, Issei scooped her up in her arms and lay her head on his lap, holding her gene ly, as he didn't this Rias deactivated th per glamour spell.

"ASIA...can you hear me...Asia!" Issei yelled hoping she wouldn't wake but she didn't respond.

"Asia, everything will be fine...Koneko, you should your sage arts to see if it will wake her." Rias ordered as Koneko rushed over to Asia, and activated her magic, her cat ears and tail popping into view, as she used her magic, it seemed to wake Asia, who's green eyes sprang open and scanned the area looking at the worried expressions that were focused on her.

"Asia, you're alright...thank goodness" Issei whimpered as he pulled her into a hug.

"Issei," she whispered.

"Asia, you had us so worried, what happened?" Rias knelt beside Asia who ignored her question.

"Issei, she whispered"

"Yes, Asia what is it?" Issei looked at Asia and smiled as she saw she was full of life.

Could you...do something for me?" Asia mumbled

Sure...I'd do anything for you Asia." Issei whispered, as all the girls heard his statement and either smile or looked at them out of jealousy for not being the one to hear that statement said to Asia.

"Would you... die for me" Asia smiled as her voice changed pitch, from a high child Ike tone to that of a deeper more mature woman.
