Chapter 15: Leaving So Soon?

"His voice… This could be the fun I'm looking for!" Izayoi thought as a smirk appeared on his face.

Suddenly, a rain drop hit his hand as Izayoi look up, seeing that it was starting to rain heavily.

"Never forget to protect the ones you loved and always be there to help them in need, ne? Izayoi?" Canaria said with a smile, as Izayoi clenches his fist tightly having to recall about the memory.

"Stupid rain… Making me remember her..." Izayoi mutters looking down as his face was shadowed by his hair.

"Ah… But she's right…" Izayoi said as a small smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Then, something vibrated inside his left pocket as Izayoi pulled it out, not worrying if the phone got wet from the rain because his phone was water proof.

"Hello?" Izayoi asked.

"Izayoi-kun?" Rias said over the phone.

"Yes?" Izayoi asked.

"Where did you go? Akeno said that you'll be back from where you've gone. But after a while, I got worried. Where did you go?" Rias asked as Izayoi chuckles over the phone while a smile played on his face.

"Meeting a friend of mine. It took quite a while, but I'm finished. I'll go home now." Izayoi stated as Rias breathed a relief sigh.

"That's good. I'll wait for you back home." Rias said.

"Okay, see you there." Izayoi replied as he hung up on the phone and put it inside his left pocket pants.

"Better go home. I don't want to be wetter than I am now." Izayoi said as he instantly disappeared, leaving a wet and empty alleyway.

Izayoi's Home

Morning

"Izayoi-sama… Izayoi-sama…" Shirayuki-Hime called as Izayoi slowly opens his eyes and look at Shirayuki-Hime, who was standing beside the bed in her blue pajamas.

Izayoi was about to get up but he felt his chest was heavy and he look down, seeing Rias sleeping on his right arm.

"Izayoi-sama." Shirayuki-Hime said as Izayoi look up beside his bed.

"Yeah?" Izayoi replied.

"Breakfast is ready downstairs. And you have to get ready for school." Shirayuki-Hime said as Izayoi nodded.

"Thanks. But where did you get that pajama?" Izayoi asked as Shirayuki-Hime look down at her pajamas.

"I bought it in a clothing store. It fits me pretty well. And it's comfortable to sleep than my kimono." Shirayuki-Hime said as Izayoi let out a smirk and looks at her kimono.

"Yeah, It fits your body pretty well. I can't wait to reap it apart." Izayoi said as Shirayuki-Hime look at him in surprise and cover her chest with both of her arms.

"Baka, Izayoi-sama." Shirayuki-Hime said with a glare as a blush adorned her cheeks.

"Just wait…" Izayoi stated with a sly smirk as Shirayuki-Hime's face turned crimson red.

"Uh… What's going on?" Rias asked as she opens her eyes and awoke from her sleep. She stares at the blushing Shirayuki-Hime and a smirking Izayoi in the morning.

"Shirayuki-Hime is trying to seduce me with her pajamas to let me bed her." Izayoi said as Shirayuki-Hime look at him in surprise.

"No. That's not it. Don't lie, Izayoi-sama!" Shirayuki-Hime said with a blush while she glare at him as Rias look at her.

"Then, you should wait your turn, Shirayuki-Hime." Rias informed her as Shirayuki-Hime look at her in confusion.

"Because I'm first. I mean, we don't have our honeymoon yet." Rias said sitting up on her bed as Izayoi sat up and wrapped his left arm around Rias's waist.

"Yeah, we haven't. But you could join us if you want." Izayoi said with a smile as Rias look at him and lightly slap his shoulder.

"Izayoi-kun, I want to do it alone with you. Shirayuki-Hime can wait her turn." Rias said with a light glare as Izayoi shook his head in amusement.

"I'm just kidding." Izayoi said as he look at the blushing state of Shirayuki-Hime.

"I'll be waiting downstairs." Shirayuki-Hime said as she step out the room and closed the door. She leaned her body against the door as she repeatedly breath in and out.

"The Mating Season is coming nearer… I hope Rias-sama could do it quickly…" Shirayuki-Hime said sweating as she imagined herself in bed with Izayoi.

"Stop! You have to wait your turn! Wait! That's not it!" Shirayuki-Hime thought as she shook her head and tried to erase the image from her head.

Suddenly, the door opens behind her as Shirayuki-Hime fell on top of Izayoi's chest.

"Oi, Shirayuki-Hime. Didn't you say that you were going to wait for us downstairs? Why are you here?" Izayoi asked with a raised eyebrow as Shirayuki-Hime turns her body to face him.

"I thought I should wait for you outside your room." Shirayuki-Hime said with a sheepish look as Izayoi look at her in confusion.

"Oh? What are you doing here, Shirayuki-Hime? I thought you were already downstairs?" Rias asked walking to stand beside Izayoi.

"I'm taking a short rest while waiting for you two to come out, so we can have breakfast. And to make sure that you two weren't on your honeymoon inside the room." Shirayuki-Hime said with a smirk.

"Why are you asking that question?" Izayoi asked while Rias blushed a little, planning an idea for today that involves the said honeymoon.

"Just making sure, Izayoi-sama. You can head downstairs to eat your breakfast." Shirayuki-Hime said motioning her hand towards the stairs as Izayoi yawned and walked downstairs, followed by Rias.

"That was a close call…" Shirayuki-Hime thought breathing a relief sigh as she then walked downstairs to join Izayoi and Rias.

Kuoh Academy

Sona and Tsubaki were walking towards the school, with Sona holding a book in her hand. Suddenly, Sona stop as she closed the book, causing Tsubaki to look at her.

"Kaichou?" Tsubaki asked as Sona look in front of them, seeing two individuals, each wearing a white cloak.

One of the two, had brown hair and violet eyes while the other had blue hair and yellow eyes. The latter was carrying something on her back that looks like the shape of a sword.

"A Holy Sword…" Sona said, noticing the wrapped sword on the blue haired girl's back.

Kuoh Academy

Recess

"Hey, did you hear? The new girl from the 2-Year was absent during class. The people say that she wasn't feeling good but the teacher said that the girl had completely disappeared. The father of the girl complained her whereabouts, to which the teachers didn't know how to respond. So, that girl is reported missing from today onwards. The police are starting to search for any signs of struggle in the school from yesterday." A student said to his friend in the school hall.

"Really? I never guessed that it would be that bad." His friend said with a worried look.

"A new girl from 2-Year?" Izayoi thought as he heard the conversation between the two, walking past them as he thinks about the new girl's disappearance.

"Yesterday…" Izayoi thought, thinking of the events that took place yesterday. While he was walking, somebody bumped into him, causing the books held by the person to fall to the ground.

"Hm?" Izayoi look up at the person and his eyes widen at the sight of the transfer teacher, Laius Perseus.

"Can you watch where you're going next time, Sakamaki?" Laius said looking at him with a pointed glare, as he bent down to pick all his books up from the ground.

"Sorry to bump into you, Teacher." Izayoi said as Laius stood up holding the books that he picked up in his right hand.

"Alright. But don't ever do that again, you hear?" Laius asked.

"Anyway, did you heard about the new girl's disappearance? I heard they sent the police force to investigate the case right now. I've seen some police carrying their investigating stuff to the school this morning. Hope the new girl will be found." Laius said as Izayoi raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you telling me all this, Teacher?" Izayoi asked as Laius look at him and smile.

"Just to keep you updated." Laius stated as he walk past Izayoi, before he bumped shoulders with Izayoi.

"That girl will never be found…" Lauis mutters as Izayoi heard the statement coming out from his mouth, and he glance behind him at the teacher.

"Looks like you have a reason to be fired, Teacher." Izayoi thought as he continued his way towards his class, knowing that recess was about to finish.

Occult Research Club

Izayoi walked inside the old school building, walking in the hallways as he turned to walked downstairs but he stopped as he sensed something. He look at the end of the hall, spotting a door that had been locked with Keep Out tapes and had the handles of the door, being chained with a lock in front of it.

"Rias is keeping something or someone in there." Izayoi thought as he then walked towards the Clubroom.

Clubroom

Izayoi walked inside the clubroom, as he look at Rias, who was talking with Issei.

"Buchou, could this have anything to do with the Holy Sword you talked about with the rest of the peerage?" Issei asked.

"Buchou, please tell me. What has Kiba got to do with the Holy Swords?" Issei asked as Rias look down, thinking for a second before she look up.

"I told you that Yuuto is a survivor of the Holy Sword Experiment, right?" Rias asked.

"Hai. There were many more children conditioned to be compatible with Excalibur." Rias said as Issei and Asia look at her in surprise.

"That's because there are seven swords known as the Holy Sword, Excalibur." Rias stated.

"Seven?" Issei asked.

"The original Excalibur was shattered during battle long ago. The Church found those pieces and used alchemy to create seven new swords." Rias explained.

"Does that mean Kiba can use them?" Issei asked.

"Yuuto, along with the other test subjects, failed to become compatible with the Excaliburs. The experiment was a failure." Rias said as Issei held a surprise look.

A failure?" Asia asked.

"Consequently, the leader of the experiments decided to dispose of all test subjects." Rias stated.

"Dispose of… You can't mean…" Issei said as he held a surprise look.

"He was nearly dead. However, he was the only one to escape and with his short life flashing before his eyes, he passionately desired vengeance. Seeing his strong determination, I wanted him to put it to good use as a Devil." Rias exclaimed.

"And that's when you made Kiba a Devil?" Issei asked.

"So, that's why when he saw the picture…" Izayoi said walking towards to stand beside Issei, as everyone look at him.

"We'll just keep an eye on him." Rias said with a smile.

"Ara, ara. We're all gathered already?" Akeno said as she open the door to the clubroom.

"Akeno! You're late." Rias said.

"I've brought guests." Akeno said as she motioned her hand to the guests.

"Excuse us." Sona said as she and Tsubaki entered the clubroom.

"The student council president and the vice-president?" Issei said.

"She has some very urgent business with Buchou." Akeno stated.

"Hai." Sona said stepping up from Akeno as she stood in front of her.

"Rias, would you please accompany me to my house? No one will be able to interfere there." Sona explained as Izayoi look at her.

"This sounds like serious business." Rias answered.

"Hai, quite serious." Sona said as Izayoi narrowed his eyes at the statement of what Sona said.

With Rias

This morning, I was in contact with two affiliates of the Church." Sona said to Rias and Akeno, who were naked, the same as Sona and Tsubaki. The four of them were in some sauna like place.

"Contact?" Akeno asked as she put her right hand over her mouth.

"I haven't seen them in this city for a while. And what were they here for?" Rias asked towards Sona.

"They asked to talk to you, Rias." Sona stated.

"Church affiliates want to meet a Devil? You must be joking." Rias said as Sona remove her glasses.

"In any case, this can't be good. So, how did you reply to them?" Rias asked.

"I accepted. After school tomorrow, they will visit the club room." Sona said as she clean her glasses by rubbing the glass with her hand.

"However, there's something that worries me.." Sona said as she put on her glasses.

"These two affiliates had a Holy Sword with them." Tsubaki said.

"A Holy Sword?!" Akeno exclaimed.

"Church affiliates with a Holy Sword? In this city, of all places? Perhaps an affiliate of this city's church?" Rias said as she recalled the photo of Izayoi and his neighbor.

"Could it be..." Rias stated.

Issei's Home

When Issei and Asia reached Issei's home, they immediately stopped from moving any closer.

"I-I'm getting chills." Asia said standing next to Issei.

Yeah, same here. I've had this feeling before." Issei informed her.

"You've felt it before?!" Asia asked turning her head to look at Issei.

"When I met you and went to that church." Issei said as Asia held a surprise look.

"And..." Issei said recalling Freed, as his eyes widen.

"Okaa-san!"

With Rias

"Excuse us, Sona. We must go back immediately. Izayoi-kun is in danger." Rias said standing up as Akeno stood up next to her.

"But why Izayoi? Even if he was attacked by the two affiliates, he can't be hurt by the Holy Sword." Sona asked as Rias look at her, realizing that statement was true.

"But who...?" Rias said as she recalled Issei saying that he was a friend of the same neighbor as Izayoi. But he said that he was the second friend to meet him, as said that Izayoi was the first.

"Issei and Asia! They're in danger!" Rias said as she and Akeno left the sauna like place.

Near Issei's House

Izayoi walked along the street of the neighbourhood, while he held an picture of him, the brown haired girl and the blue haired girl.

"Huh…" Izayoi sighed as he was about to continue walking towards his house, but then he stopped, sensing something familiar near where he stood.

He look up in front of him, as he spotted a house a few steps away from him, knowing that's where the strange feeling was coming from.

Then, he recalled that Issei stayed here from where he knew his mother from her mother long ago.

"Issei and Asia… They might be in danger." Izayoi concluded pocketing the picture before he walked towards the house and stepped inside it. He look inside and around the place, seeing that it was dark. But then, he heard laughter as he look in front of him to see a lighted room.

He slowly walked towards it and walked inside the room, catching everyone's attention.

"Izayoi-senpai? What are you doing here?" Issei asked with a confused look.

"Just a feeling I felt on my way back home." Izayoi reasoned as Issei's mother stood up and look at Izayoi.

"Izayoi… Izayoi… Hmm… It couldn't be… Sakamaki Izayoi, right? Canaria's son?" Issei's mother said pointing her finger at Izayoi, who smiled and nodded.

"Okaa-san, how do you know, Izayoi-senpai?" Issei asked as Issei's mother look at Izayoi from up to down.

"I've met with his mother a long time ago. She and I would sometimes have lunch together when she has free time away from work and her son." Issei's mother said as Issei look at Izayoi.

"I never thought his son would grow into such a handsome man! You must be attracting quite a lot of girls in your school!" She said as Izayoi smiled.

"Yes. He's been attracting quite a lot of girls. I heard that Izayoi-senpai was the most handsome student in the school aside from Kiba-san." Asia said as Izayoi look at her.

"Is that true?" Issei's mother asked as Izayoi shrug his shoulder with a smile on his face.

"I don't know where rumours like that happen." Izayoi said.

"Well, you are the most handsome man I've met, Izayoi-kun." A voice said as Izayoi look at his left and his eyes widen slightly by the appearance of the brown haired girl and the blue haired girl, that were together with him in the picture of the three.

"Irina? Xenovia?" Izayoi asked as Irina smiled and stood up from the couch.

"You don't remember us, Izayoi-kun? I'm hurt that you have forgotten about us." Irina said faking a frown.

"Ah… Well, I don't expect to meet you here." Izayoi said as he look at Xenovia.

"Hi, Xenovia. How are you doing?" Izayoi asked with a smile as Xenovia blushes a little and glance down, avoiding eye contact with Izayoi.

"Issei! Asia!" Rias said as she entered the room, surprising everyone again.

"Who is this, Issei?" Issei's mother asked looking at Rias.

"Rias-senpai is one of the girls that likes Izayoi-senpai." Asia said as Issei's mother look at Izayoi, while Rias blushed a little.

"I never thought you could attract such a lovely girl, Izayoi." Issei's mother said with a smile as Izayoi smiled.

"Well, I didn't know it either. But I'm used to it now. Having beautiful girls around you, such as a red head, brown, black and blue with a little of a green streak to it, it makes you want to love them. I mean, really love them, no matter what their personalities are." Izayoi said as his statement causes an reaction from Rias, Irina and Xenovia, who blushed from his words. They knew that Izayoi were talking about them by how he said the colors of their hair.

"That's lovely." Issei's mother commented smiling at him.

Time Skip

Issei's Room

"I'm so glad you're safe! I'm so sorry. I should've been more wary of what was going on. I came prepared for the worst. I'm just so glad. It's a good thing that Izayoi-kun was here first." Rias said hugging her servants as she let them go.

"I gave Asia an excuse to come up here, but they seemed to know that we were Devils." Issei said to Rias.

Downstairs

"Bye, Irina!" Issei's mother said as Irina smiled at her. Irina then look behind Issei's mother as Izayoi stood behind her.

"Bye, Izayoi-kun!" Irina said waving her hand at Izayoi, who waved her back.

"Bye, Irina." Izayoi said as Irina smiled. Izayoi then look at Xenovia, who look at him with calm demeanor.

"You can stop with the calm exterior of yours, Xenovia." Izayoi said as Xenovia nodded and raised her hand slightly, reaching at her chest as she waved her hand at Izayoi.

"Bye, Izayoi-kun..." Xenovia said with a tiny blush adorning her face, while she glance up at him.

"Bye, Xenovia. Don't get into trouble, you hear?" Izayoi said as Xenovia nodded and then she with Irina left the house.

Issei's Room

"I don't know where they came for, but I'll be meeting them tomorrow, anyway." Rias said.

"T-Tomorrow?!" Issei asked in shock.

"After school tomorrow, they'll be coming to the club room." Rias said to them.

Next Day

Occult Research Club

Evening

"I didn't get enough sleep last night..." Izayoi said as he yawns and walked inside the school building, heading straight to the Clubroom. But he suddenly stopped as he sensed the presence of the owner's voice that night.

"He's here. But why?" Izayoi thought as he continued his way towards the clubroom, deciding to deal with the voice's owner later.

Clubroom

"We appreciate your cooperation. I am Xenovia." Xenovia introduced herself as she and Irina sat on a couch.

"I'm Shido Irina." Irina said introducing herself.

"For what reason would servants of God desire to meet a Devil?" Rias asked them, sitting on a couch across from the two.

"Although one is yet to be found, the six remaining Excaliburs have been kept by three divisions of the Church. Three of those have been stolen by Fallen Angels." Irina informed them as everyone held a shock look except for Koneko.

"Stolen?!" Issei exclaimed.

"The ones that we have are this, the Holy Sword of Destruction, Excalibur Destruction..." Xenovia said as Irina continued.

"...and my Holy Sword of Mimicry, Excalibur Mimic!" Irina said as she raised her left arm, revealing a necklace with a cross hanging down below her shoulder.

"So, what do you want from us?" Rias asked.

"This particular problem is between us and the Fallen Angels. We can't afford to deal with the Devils of this city." Xenovia said.

"You're awfully condescending. You thought we would side with the Fallen Angels to do something to the Holy Swords?" Rias asked as Izayoi quietly entered the clubroom, without anyone noticing as Rias was busy talking with Xenovia.

"Devils despise Holy Swords. You're in the same position as the Fallen Angels." Xenovia said as Rias's eyes went red a little by her rude comment.

"Buchou's getting pissed!" Issei thought with a scared look, while Asia look surprise.

"If we must, we will completely destroy you, even if you are a sister of a Satan." Xenovia said looking at Rias.

"If you know that much already, then let me tell you something else: I will never side with a Fallen Angel. In the name of the Gremories, i swear I will never do anything to humiliate the Satans." Rias stated with a smile.

"I am glad to hear that. That was just what our headquarters were after. I am sure the sister of a Satan would not be so foolish." Xenovia said with a small smile.

"Then you must know that I won't side with you and your god, correct?" Rias asked.

"Of course. We simply would like you to pledge non-intervention in this ordeal." Xenovia said.

"Understood." Rias stated with a smile.

"Thank you for your time." Xenovia stated as she stood up, followed by Irina.

"Won't you stay for some tea?" Rias asked.

"I am sorry, but we cannot befriend Devils. We shall take our leave now." Xenovia said as she and Irina walked towards the door, but Xenovia stopped and look at Asia.

I've been wondering this since I visited Hyoudou Issei's house. Are you Asia Argento?" Xenovia asked.

"H-Hai." Asia answered.

"I never thought I'd see a witch here." Xenovia said with a pointed look, shocking Asia.

"Oh, you're that ex-nun who became a witch? I did hear that you were exiled, because you could even heal Devils and Fallen Angels, but I never knew you'd become a Devil!" Irina said looking at Asia.

"Um... I..." Asia wanted to speak but she couldn't.

"To think that a Saint has become a Devil... Nobody's perfect, I suppose."

"Do you still believe in our God?" Xenovia said as she look at Asia.

"Xenovia, she's a Devil." Irina stated.

"Still, some blasphemers feel some guilt and retain a little of their faith. I can sense that from her." Xenovia said as Irina look at Asia.

"Oh, really? Hey, Asia-san, do you still believe in the Lord, even though you're a Devil?" Irina asked.

"I-I just quite let it go. I believed in him all my life." Asia answered.

"In that case, let us kill you now." Xenovia said shocking Asia.

"Whatever sins you have committed, God will always forgive you. I will punish you... In the name of God." Xenovia said as Issei was about to interfere but Koneko held him.

"That's enough. If you are going to belittle my servant..." Rias stated standing up from the couch and turning her head to look at Xenovia.

"I wasn't belittling her." Xenovia said as Rias narrowed her eyes at her response.

"This is my duty as a woman of faith." Xenovia said as Izayoi clenches his fist.

"Xenovia! Irina!" Izayoi said as the two girls look at him in surprise.

"You called Asia a witch, right?" Izayoi said.

"I believe it's term fit for her state." Xenovia said to him.

"A Saint needs only God's love. Those seeking more love or friendship are not worthy of sainthood." Xenovia stated.

"That's enough! I won't let Asia be hurt by your mocking words." Izayoi said he glance at them with cold looking eyes, as the two girls look at him, surprised to see Izayoi like this.

"Asia has a reason on why she became a Devil. And I've watched it with my own eyes." Izayoi stated.

"And I don't care if I interfere in this ordeal, because I'm not a Devil. But don't point your finger where you don't know the whole truth." Izayoi said as Irina's eyes widen.

"Izayoi-kun?" Irina said.

"That sword that you held. It's one of the Holy Swords, right? One of the seven Holy Swords, right? I could just break that sword into a million pieces anytime that I please." Izayoi said as Xenovia's eyes widen at his proclaimed statement.

"Izayoi-kun..." Rias said as she look at Izayoi.

"And you said that we should believe in God, right? I'm a human, so I can believe in him. But what does God do, huh? If this God of yours ever exist, why is it my mother's dead, huh?" Izayoi asked as Xenovia widen her eyes at his statement of his mother.

"She's a human. But she died young. Why? If God exist, he should be able to prolong her life even if it's two or three years before she died. But that will never happen, cause she's dead now." Izayoi stated clenching his fist, while Irina look down in sadness. Meanwhile, Rias covered her mouth with her hand as she look sadly at Izayoi, having mentioning his dead mother.

"If you insult Asia or any Devils in this room, I will beat every last one of you Church affiliates. I've gotten to know the Devils a lot more than you do. What do you know about Devils besides what the elder saints said?" Izayoi asked as Irina kept quiet, knowing that statement to be true.

"May I take that as a challenge to the entire Church?" Xenovia asked with narrowed eyes as Izayoi look at her.

"Yes, you may." Izayoi answered.

"Very well." A voice said as Izayoi and Xenovia look at the clubroom door.

"I will be your opponent." Kiba said leaning against door of the clubroom.

"Who are you?" Xenovia asked.

"Your Senpai." Kiba said.

"Yuuto?" Rias asked.

Outside of Clubroom

"Let us begin." Xenovia said as she and Irina remove their white cloaks, revealing a set of clothes underneath. Xenovia wore a black, skin-tight, short sleeved unitard with pauldrons, matching fingerless gloves that extend to her biceps, and thigh-high boots, all of which are adorned with straps. Meanwhile Irina wore the same battle attire as Xenovia's, with some slight differences.

"Is this really okay? Should we be fighting Church affiliates on our own accord?" Akeno asked as she and Rias, with the rest of her peerage stood at the sidelines.

"This is simply an unofficial sparring match." Rias answered as Asia watched Izayoi.

"I hope Izayoi-senpai wins." Asia thought looking at the soon to-be battle, as she recalled Izayoi's comforted words to her.

Flashback

Occult Research Club

After Xenovia and Irina went out to wait for Izayoi and Kiba, Asia walked towards Izayoi.

"You alright, Asia?" Izayoi asked as Asia look at him.

"But Izayoi-senpai, they were your friends. How could you..." Asia said as Izayoi put his hand on top of her head.

"I can't let them insult you. Those words they said was pretty harsh to me. So, I had to step in before you really cry. And... Even if they are my friends, they shouldn't be insulting one of my friends." Izayoi said as Asia rubbed her tears away with her sleeve and she smiled at him.

"Thank you, Izayoi-senpai!" Asia said.

"Anyway, sorry for what they said. I've should of teach them better than to said harsh things that they don't know about." Izayoi said as Asia shook her head.

"Don't apologize, Izayoi-senpai." Asia stated as Izayoi smiled at her.

"Yeah, it's a good thing you were here, Izayoi-senpai!" Issei said with a smile.

"Yeah… Anyway," Izayoi look at Kiba, who was leaning against the clubroom's door.

"You ready, Kiba?" Izayoi asked as Kiba look at him and smiled.

"I'm ready." Kiba said as he and Izayoi left the clubroom, followed by everyone.

Present

"If either of our higher-ups knew, we'd be in big trouble!" Irina said as she transformed her Holy Mimic into a katana.

"We'll do our best not to kill you." Xenovia said as Kiba laughs.

"You're laughing?" Xenovia asked looking at Kiba.

"Yeah, because I finally found what I've been dying to destroy." Kiba said as multiple swords grew out from the ground.

"Sword Birth... I remember now. It was said one subject from the Holy Sword Experiment escaped disposal." Xenovia said as she shouldered her Holy Sword.

"Izayoi-kun!" Irina said as Izayoi look at her.

"What is it, Irina?" Izayoi asked.

"I can't believe that our years apart from each other that we have to fight each other. Is destiny toying with us to cause such tragedy?" Irina said dramatically.

"I finally became compatible with a Holy Sword and even flew over the sea thinking that I could be of use! Is this another of the Lord's trials? Although, overcoming this will bring me one step closer to him!" Irina said overflowing with her faithness as Izayoi shook his head in amusement.

"Come, Izayoi-kun. Let me use my Excalibur to punish you for your sins! Amen!" Irina said as she charges towards Izayoi.

"Punish my sins? The sins I've obtained over the past years... I've destroyed them long ago!" Izayoi said with a grin as he run towards Irina.

"Really?" Irina said as she jumped while Izayoi stop to look at her.

"Amen!" Irina said swinging down her sword as Izayoi just grabbed the sword in his hand, surprising Irina.

"You're getting serious in this match, huh?" Izayoi asked as Irina smiled.

"I've returned after being away for a long time, but now here I am trying to harm my childhood friend and bestfriend! Faith is simply too harsh on me!" Irina said faithfully as Izayoi smirked.

"Yeah, sometimes faith could make you like that." Izayoi said as he disappeared instantly, surprising Irina.

"But you shouldn't worry about that right now." Izayoi said as he appeared behind Irina, and kicked her by the side of her hip with his back feet, causing her to propelled to the side of the field.

"You're getting too cocky, Izayoi-kun! And that hurts!" Irina said with a pout as she rubbed her hip, while she knelt, with her legs on the ground.

"Sorry. But I don't want to lose." Izayoi said smiling as he shrug his shoulder.

Suddenly, Izayoi heard the ground shake as he glanced beside him, seeing Xenovia had destroyed a part of the ground with her Holy Sword stabbed in the middle of the crater.

"Geex, Xenovia, there you go suddenly destroying things again." Irina said standing up as she picked her sword.

"Okay then, how about we settle this now!" Irina said as she charges at Izayoi, who stood on his spot.

"Come and get me!" Izayoi said with a motion of his hand to her. Suddenly, Irina started slashing at Izayoi with her sword, left, right, up, down, and cross. But Izayoi kept dodging them all of them, without moving an inch on his spot.

"Be still for a second, Izayoi-kun!" Irina complained as she slashed at Izayoi, who dodged to the side.

"Why would I want to be slashed at?" Izayoi asked as Irina continue slashing at him, trying to land a hit on him.

"It's not going to work anytime soon, Irina." Izayoi said dodging all of her slashes, without moving on the spot he was standing.

"It'll just be a second!" Irina said as she swung her sword sideways, as Izayoi narrowed his eyes at the presence of the voice's owner getting closer. After sensing him, Izayoi grabbed Irina's sword from slashing at him as he punched her in the stomach, causing her to cough out a blood.

After he punched her, Izayoi gently let her down as Irina transformed her sword into the necklace with a cross in the middle.

"Yay, Izayoi-senpai won!" Asia said as Issei nodded with a smile.

"Sorry, Irina." Izayoi said as Irina look up at him.

"Don't worry, Izayoi-kun. I wasn't expecting to lose, but I didn't you were this strong." Irina said with a smile.

"I have to keep something from my opponent, right? You've known my speed and reflexes when we met before. I don't want to show you my strength." Izayoi said

"I always thought you were keeping something other than you're speed. I mean, you could stop my sword with just your bare hand." Irina said as Izayoi smiled at her.

"Izayoi-kun wins this part of the duel." Rias said with a smile.

"Kiba!" Issei said as Izayoi look at Kiba, who laid on the ground while Xenovia stood beside his fallen body.

"Your 'weapon' is a high level devil blade, and its wielder is of equal capability. You tried to fight using a large sword despite having insufficient strength to hold it, and as such your specialty in speed was negated. I never thought you were incapable of even realizing that simple fact." Xenovia said as she walked away from Kiba, but he held out his hand towards her.

"Wait…" Kiba said.

"You should really try fighting with a cool head next time. Senpai." Xenovia said as Kiba look at her with hate while he clenched his hand tightly.

"This is just about it. Was that alright, Rias Gremory?" Xenovia asked.

Yes, I am grateful that you didn't try to use the Holy Swords to finish it off." Rias said.

"Then, we'll be counting on what we agreed on earlier." Xenovia said as she walked away but Rias stopped her.

"Just in case, I'll just like to inquire about something. Have you already found out the identity of the Fallen Angels who did it?" Rias asked as everyone look at Xenovia.

"The one who was directly involved with it, was Kokabiel, one of the Cadres of the Grimori Organization. " Xenovia stated.

"Grimori Organization?" Issei asked.

"It's a Fallen Angel Organization dubbed as the 'Watchers of the God's Children'." Akeno explained.

"A Cadre of the organization? Are you trying to kill yourselves?" Rias questioned.

"I would rather destroy the Holy Swords themselves, than allow those Fallen Angels to take hold of them. " Xenovia said to her.

"We're already prepared for this. One has already been killed anyway." Irina said as Izayoi sighed at the fact that two girls were ready to be kill.

"Are they really?" Izayoi thought.

"It was a priest that was sent here to do a preliminary investigation." Irina stated.

"The one who did that, was Freed Sellzen. " Kiba answered.

"Freed?" Issei asked with a shocked face, followed by Asia.

That rogue priest?" Rias asked.

"I happened to meet him at the time of the incident. He was definitely holding a Holy Sword at that time." Kiba said as he kneel on the ground.

"A rogue priest. I see, so that's how it is. " Xenovia said as Kiba glanced at her behind him.

"I thank you for delivering such information. However, I would like you to refrain from being involved any further in this matter." Xenovia said as Kiba's eyes widen at her statement.

"If you would excuse me then." Xenovia said as she walked away.

"Hey, wait up, Xenovia!" Irina said with a raised hand towards her.

"Well, that's that. Izayo-kun, call me anytime you want to receive judgement from me." Irina said as she raised the cross around her neck and peck it.

"Chu! Amen!" Irina said as she followed after Xenovia.

After they left, Izayoi look at his right, sensing the voice's owner was there a moment ago, after his battle with Irina. But when he sensed that area now, he couldn't sense him anymore.

"He left, huh?" Izayoi thought, guessing that he left before Izayoi could stop him.

Then, Izayoi saw something on one of the trees, as he walked over to it and look up, seeing a note hanging from a string. He climbed the tree and sit on a branch, across from the branch that held the note. He picked it up and reap the paper from the string, as he look down at the content of the note.

-Leave now. From the school and from your friends, and If you leave. I won't harm them by turning them into stone forever.—

"So, he wants me alone..." Izayoi thought reading through the message.

"Izayoi-kun!" Rias called as Izayoi look up, hearing Rias calling him.

"I can't let her get hurt… Huh… Guess I have to leave…" Izayoi thought with a sigh as he closed his eyes for a minute, thinking other ways than this. But when the message had mentioned his friends, there's not much of a choice right now than to leave.

"Izayoi-kun?" Rias called as Izayoi scrunched up the paper in his hand as he jumped down from the branch, causing Rias to look at him.

"Where did you, Izayoi-kun?" Rias asked as Izayoi smiled at her.

"Just reading a note from the Teacher that he sent in recess." Izayoi said as he showed her the scrunched up paper in his hand.

"Turns out he wants to spend time with me. Teacher bonding or so he says… Weird." Izayoi said as Rias stifle a laugh and smiled up at him.

"Well, you shouldn't disobey the Teacher message. You should go." Rias said as Izayoi nodded.

"I know. He said that I would get a grade A if I come with him." Izayoi stated as Rias held a surprise look.

"Really? That's really a weird teacher." Rias exclaimed as Izayoi shrug his shoulder.

"Less studying, the better." Izayoi stated.

"But you didn't study at all when we had a test a week ago." Rias said as Izayoi smirked.

"I've been taught by my mother about every subject. And I memorize it all. So, it's kind of easy to finish the test faster than anyone and sleep." Izayoi exclaimed as Rias shook her head in amusement.

"Well, let's go inside, Izayoi-kun." Rias said as she grabbed Izayoi's hand and lead him towards the clubroom.

"Rias…" Izayoi thought with a small smile.

Outside of Kuoh Academy

"Now that will keep the boy from being with Devil Group for a while. I'm sure he'll leave right away. I mean, who would want their precious friends to be harm? Not me…" Laius said with a smirk as he then walked away.

"Soon, you'll die, Sakamaki. You'll turned to stone very soon…" He whispered before disappearing into the night.

Occult Research Club

"Wait, Yuuto! I will not allow you to leave the household. You're the Gremory household's Knight." Rias said looking at Kiba, who stood in front of her with his back facing her.

"Buchou, I am sorry. " Kiba said as he opens the door and left the clubroom.

"Yuuto…!" Rias trying to stop him but Kiba had already left the room.

"Kiba-san…" Asia said.

"Rias." Izayoi called out walking towards her and stood in front of her, as Rias look at him.

"Sorry for this, but I think I have to leave for a few days." Izayoi said with a sad smile, as Rias look at him in surprise.

"What? Why? I mean, why all of a sudden?" Rias asked.

"There's a reason." Izayoi simply answered.

"But!" Rias said as she walked towards Izayoi and grabbed his hand.

"I don't want you getting hurt by it. So, I have to leave for a few days. Don't worry, you'll see me eventually from time to time." Izayoi said as Rias frowned at him.

"But I don't want you to go. I want you to stay. With all of us. With me." Rias said as Izayoi smiled reassuringly.

"Don't worry. It's just a few days." Izayoi said as he leaned his head down and captured Rias's lips in his, which Rias kissed back.

After a while, the two pulled apart as Izayoi smiled down at her.

"I know you will miss my lips on yours for a few days." Izayoi said as Rias stifle a laugh at his statement, but she still was worried for him.

"But I'll make it worthwhile when I get back." Izayoi said as he leans his head over Rias's right ear.

"We could have our honeymoon if you like." Izayoi whispered as Rias blushed furiously at his words.

"We can?" Rias asked as Izayoi look down at her and nodded.

"No interruption this time?" Rias asked as Izayoi nodded, and suddenly Rias hugged him.

"I hope you'll be safe and do be careful, alright, Izayoi-kun?" Rias asked.

"I know, I don't want to die anytime soon." Izayoi said.

"I love you." Rias exclaimed with a smile.

"I love you too." Izayoi replied as the two hugged for a while, knowing that the other was going away for a few days while the other stays alone.

Then, the two pulled back from the hug as Izayoi peck her forehead, surprising Rias.

"You be careful, too. Okay?" Izayoi asked as Rias look up at him and nodded.

"Issei." Izayoi called out as Issei walked over towards him.

"Here." Izayoi said as he handed Issei money, to which Issei look down at it in confusion.

"Why are you giving me this, Izayoi-senpai?" Issei asked taking the money in his hands.

"I'm sure you'll use it soon." Izayoi said as he move dhis head beside Issei's left ear.

"Irina and Xenovia would be hungry by now. You should use the money to treat them to some food." Izayoi said as Issei look at him in confusion.

"Say it was from me, okay?" Izayoi asked as Issei slowly nodded.

"Okay, Izayoi-senpai. I'll give the message." Issei answered as Izayoi nodded and then he look at Rias.

"See you later, Koi." Izayoi said pecking Rias's lips before he left the clubroom with a click of the door.

"Izayoi-kun…" Rias said looking at the door, where Izayoi left.

"Wherever you are, please don't die on me..." Rias thought with a frown.
