Here's another chapter!


SACHI MEETS THE

AGENTS OF CHURCH (XENOVIA AND IRINA)

When Issei was a kid, he had a friend that he plays with, his friend was his neighbor's kid and they often hang out. But he and his family have to move out due to his father's job, since then Issei hasn't seen him for years and has forgotten a bit and including his name.

But he did not expecting to reunite with his old friend while walking home… and discovering that HE is actually a SHE.

It all started when the members of ORC went home earlier, meaning no devil jobs tonight, so Issei, Asia and Sachi were walking back home, except Rias who has other things to attempt to. As they walk on their neighborhood almost reaching at the resident, both Issei and Asia felt their instincts screaming, with the former nun confused about what it is but the Red Dragon Emperor recognized it as he felt it before. Issei told them that he'll go up ahead and would tell to flee much to his little sister's confusion.

As Issei approaching their home, he took a peak to see two figures wearing white cloaks with one that has an object wrapped in bandage on their back in front of the door as one of them rings the bell and knocks on the door, the first individual looked a bit disappointed that there was no response. Then the one with wrapped object called him out, most likely they sense him, with no choice in hand Issei comes out of hiding while preparing to give the signal to Asia, then suddenly he meets with someone that was unexpected; his childhood friend.

"All honestly, I didn't expecting to see you again." Issei said rubbing the back of his neck.

After knowing that his old friend came for a visit, and learning that he is a she, he lets them in along with Asia and Sachi who are both confused. After settling down, Issei was sitting on the couch while his friend, Irina, and her companion whose name is Xenovia and a girl as well were sitting on another couch.

"Well, while we were in town I figure I come to your house and we can catch up." Irina exclaimed, she then noticed Sachi besides the couch that Issei was sitting.

"Aww~ such a cute little girl!" Irina awed then she turn to Issei and ask. "Is she your little sister?"

"Yeah." Issei nodded, he then gesture his little sister to come as she did so. He lifted himself before placing his head on top of Sachi's head. "This is Sachi. Go on Sachi, say hi to the nice older girls."

Sachi looks at the two girls as she shyly greet. "...Hello."

BANG!

Xenovia felt like she got shot in the heart when she saw Sachi's shy behavior.

"Awww~! So cute~!" Irina awed.

"Hello to you, as well." Xenovia replied, though she still wore a stoic expression in her head she screams. 'DAAAACK! CUUUUTE!'

Sachi feels even more shy by Irina's respond making Issei chuckles.

"Hi Sachi-chan, my name is Irina! I'm your big brother's childhood friend." Irina introduced herself. "And I used to lived here before you were even born."

"Really?" Sachi asked in wonder.

"Yeah!" Irina exclaimed before turning back to Issei. "Boy, I wish that I didn't have to moved, otherwise I would love to see your sister as a baby and play with her!"

"You don't say." Issei said, Irina seems really happy to meet his sister. 'I guess she loves children, cute ones as well.'

"Say, Issei-kun, are your parents still at work?" Irina asked.

Then like a rock that dropped, the atmosphere of the room suddenly change as the Hyoudou siblings' body language change after the twin tailed girl has asked a subject very deep.

"When will they come home? I would love to catch with your mom." She asked but slowly to see the mood in the room with Sachi becomes tense.

Noticing his little sister, Issei turns to Asia. "Asia-chan, can you bring Sachi and help her with her homework?"

Understand what Issei was trying to do, Asia nodded. "Come, Sachi-chan, let's see what homework you have tonight." She said sweetly.

"...huh." Sachi could only nod as she went with Asia.

Irina blinked. "Err, did I say something wrong?" She asked, wondering why her childhood friend would have that girl getting Sachi out of the room.

Issei did not say anything as his eyes were covered by the shades of his hair, after a few moments he lifted his head to look at the girl. "Irina, the thing is..." He then he turns his head, confused Irina follows his gaze where she spotted an altar and on it were two picture frames with familiar faces that made her widening her eyes. She turns to look at Issei as the boy turns back to her.


At the moment, both Asia and Sachi were in the little girl's room. Asia knew that Issei wanted to avoid a sensitive topic in front of his sister, bringing her out of the living room was the only solution so he could explain to his old friend.

"Why does she have to ask about daddy and mama?" Sachi asked hanging her head down.

"Sachi-chan," Asia got on her knees to the little girl's level. "I'm sure she didn't mean to, she just didn't know. She couldn't have known."

"I know, but..." Sachi's arms begin to tremble. "It's just too painful… every time someone asked about my daddy and mama… it hurts..." Tears were falling down off her cheeks.

"Sachi-chan!" Asia embraced the little girl to comfort her, couldn't bear to see the little girl sadden. "No matter what, your parents would always watch you from up there, both you and Issei-san. And I'm sure they wish for the best for the both of you. So please Sachi-chan, live for your parents' sake."

Sachi listened to everything what Asia has said, she has been listening to what Asia said about Heaven and God before, if what she said is true then her parents must really be watching her and her brother. Her brother, yes, she still has her brother who's there for her, and in addition she has gained two 'big sisters'.

Sachi returns the hug feeling the warm. "Yes."


"...and that's how it is." Issei finished his story.

After Asia and Sachi left the room Issei has began to tell about the tragic accident and his parents' passing, doing everything he could to support himself and his sister, raising her by himself. And on how he swore an oath on his parents' funeral and made a promise to Sachi.

After listening to everything he had said, Irina was brought to tears.

"I-Issei-kun… that's such a tragedy… for y-your parents to passed..." Irina sniffed. "And with Sachi-chan as your… o-only family… Oh that is so sad!" She produces a handkerchief as she blows. In the past when she was a child, she actually likes Issei's parents and hers were getting along with them quite well, hearing of their passing with only Issei and Sachi as survivors breaks her heart.

"Normally I would say that this might have been part of the Lord's plans, but something this cruel could not possibly be an act of God, not for a family like yours." Irina said, before she put her hands together for praying. "O, dear Lord, have mercy on this man and his sister. Please grant them your divine blessing!"

Issei felt an unbearable headache, despite the pain he did not do anything, all for the sake of keeping his identity a secret, who knows what will happen if they find out. He was also doing for his sister's sake, he does not know whether or not if the church would take her away due to him being a devil.

"Thanks a bunch, Irina." He thanked her.

Xenovia lifted herself off the couch and bring the wrapped object back to her back. "Irina, is time that we take our leave."

Irina turns to her friend. "Already?!"

"Yes. Don't forget why we're here in this town."

Irina pouted. "...okay."

The blue haired girl turns to Issei. "Under the circumstances, I shall let you off the hook."

Issei's eyes widening. Have they already figure it out?

"But at least let me give my respect to his parents." Irina said as she walks towards the altar.

After giving her respect, the two exorcists were at the door about to leave until Asia and Sachi came down.

"Your leaving already?" Sachi asked, hoping to talk more with her brother's childhood friend.

"Yeah. We have this assignment and we need to work on it." Irina responded.

"Oh." Sachi seems to be disappointing.

Seeing her disappointment, Irina quickly respond. "B-b-but after that, I'll come visit again before leaving!" She wanted to know more about Sachi, and hopes to make her happy as a way to make up for bringing up a sensitive subject.

"Really?" Sachi asked in delight.

Both Irina and Xenovia are taken aback by the radius of Sachi's happy expression, it was almost like watching an angel that came to see them.

"Irina, we should go! Any longer and we'll might..." Xenovia whispered to her partner.

"Alright, alright!" Irina whispered back.

The two of them felt like if they stay any longer, they might end up making a promise that they may not be able to fulfill.

"Well then, see you later!"

"Okay. And thank you for your visit." Sachi said waving her hand. "Bye bye!"

'So sweet!' Irina awed.

'CUUUTE!' Xenovia screams in her head again.


Days have gone by, after the events of Excalibur incident, Sachi, unaware of the situation, she had meet up with the two girls on the way. She noticed that Xenovia wears the Kuoh uniform, she was informed that she will be transferring to school much to her delight. Then she noticed that Irina wore a suit, like she's going for a business trip, when she asked them where they were going, regretfully Irina told her that she's going back home much to the little girl's disappointment.

Wanted to cheer her up, Xenovia said that Irina can come here someday and play with her. Failed to see Irina's surprised expression, the twin tail girl plays along as she joined in. Then after a heartwarming conversation, Irina makes a promise to Sachi that she'll come visiting her and her brother when she's town, they even made a pinky swear. Happy by the development, Sachi says goodbye as she wished Irina luck at her voyage.

"You didn't have to tell her that." Irina said.

"Well, seeing her disappointment, I could not help but to cheer her up." Xenovia responded.

"But you do realized that if I do come here, it won't be for a visit." Irina then looks at her former comrade. "I'm willing to spare Issei, not because he's my childhood friend but he's the only one that Sachi-chan needs."

"True." Xenovia agreed. "And just in case; I'll be willing to protect Red Dragon Emperor, Issei Hyoudou, so that the siblings may live a happy life."

Irina closed her eyes turning away. "Come on… aren't we supposed to go to the airport?" She then walks.

"Yeah." Xenovia agreed as she follows, the two of them are about to say goodbye as two friends and comrades are now becoming enemies.


Here's another chapter where Sachi meets the other characters and created bonds with them. Since the news of the Japanese voice actors married, I went up ahead to write a chapter to commemorate.

Hope you like how I made Xenovia and Irina taking a liking to Sachi, especially how the swordswoman reacted in her head when seeing Sachi's cuteness.

Don't worry though, Sachi-chan, you'll be able to see Irina soon and spend time together with her.

Ja Ne!

Oh! Another thing; about that idea I mentioned on the last updated, I'm nearly finish it. After a bit of break, I'll go back on writing.
