Chapter 15: Meeting of Partners and Missing Swords.

Issei looked out the window of his room; Rias and Asia lay asleep on his bed. He was thinking about his longtime friend, Irina Shidou. She was Issei's best friend and partner during his time with the church. But that was a couple of years ago.

"Why would she be here?" He spoke to himself aloud. "And why would they bring those swords into Devil territory? Unless...he really did it, didn't he. That warmonger!" Issei cursed in a low tone. It was then he felt the presence of two holy objects coming close to the house. Peering further out of the window, he spotted the two white robed figures from before, walking down the street. They were causally conversion.

"Are you sure this person will help us, Irina?" The figure with the large wrapped object on her back asked to the other.

"Yes, he will. He used to be with the church and a good friend of mine, Xenovia." Irina said happily.

"Well let's hope he isn't dead. This is a Devils territory and that church was a wreck. This is why I hate coming to these eastern countries; they have no respect to our Lord." Xenovia said as she looked around at the houses.

"Don't say that. If he wasn't here, then the name wouldn't still be on the house. Besides, I felt him. He is still in this town." Irina said as she stopped in front of Issei's house. The owner heard their conversation and went down stairs to the door.

"Irina, are you sure? I know you can sense Devils and this house smells of them, the same with this whole town. He could be dead." She said once more. Irina looked down and spoke in a saddened tone.

"I understand that. We aren't here for confrontation, but if he is here, I'd like to see him again. There are things I have to say." She said. The other girl stood and looked at her questionably; she had never heard Irina speak so down before.

With that said, Irina walked forward and stood in front of the door. She brought her hand up to the door and was about to knock, but the door opened before she could. She froze as she gazed upon the figure that stood in front of her when the door fully opened.

"Issei." She said as she stepped forward with tears streaming down her face.

"Irina." Issei said as he looked at her with a bright smile and a tear forming his eyes. He could see her face perfectly, being able to see in the dark, and to make sure she knew it was him, he was trying to output a little bit of his Holy aura for her and her partner. Suddenly, Irina opened her arms and jumped at him, tacking him to the ground with a hug. She hugged him tightly as if he was going to disappear again.

"I missed you so much, Issei." She said between her sobs.

"I missed you too." Issei said.

"I was so worried about you after you left. You didn't tell me where you were going or why. Please don't leave me again." Irina managed to say. Issei smiled.

"I won't be going anyway again, Irina." He said as he patted her head. After a while and Irina stopped crying, he spoke once more. "Irina?" Said girl looked up at him.

"Yes?" She said.

"Would you mind getting off of me?" He said weakly. Irina got up quickly and brushed her robe off before gesturing to her friend.

"Issei, this is Xenovia. Xenovia, this is Issei; he used to my partner before you" Irina said as she stood up and looked at her blue haired partner. Both of their hoods have been dropped, relieving Irina's long brown hair that had put up in twin tails and her purple eyes, and Xenovia's short blue hair with a green lock in her bangs and her dark yellow eyes. Xenovia stared at Issei for a few minutes before speaking.

"Is your full name Issei Hyoudou?" She asked in a wary tone. Issei froze and narrowed his eyes. He didn't like where this could go.

"Yes I am. Why do you ask?" Issei managed to say, his trust lowly diminishing. But to his surprise, Xenovia got down on one knee and bowed her head. Both Irina and Issei were shocked at this sudden motion.

"It is an honor to meet you. Irina speaks highly of you and so do some of the other members of the church, even though it was forbidden to speak of the False Son." She sounded like a student talking to her master. Issei smiled weakly and rubbed the back of his head.

"I'm not anything special." It was then Issei realized that she said his name. With a sigh, he continued, "I'm guessing you both are pretty high ranked to know my code name. Tell me, how much do you really know?" Issei asked sharply.

"I know you are the son of the late Sister Haruka Hyoudou. You are a skilled swordsmen that had the honor of seeing Heaven yourself even though you have not died. Everyone knew who you were. It was a shocker to everyone that you suddenly vanished after the death with Father John." Xenovia now stood upright. Issei smirked on the inside, she didn't know. Only top members of the church, besides Irina know of him being an Angel, Father John was one of them. So Irina kept her promise. Issei smiled and looked between the girls.

"Well, it's nice to hear the people of the Church still think of me."

"Though I must ask, why did you leave? You were well known and you being who you are and what you have accomplished, why would you leave?" Xenovia asked. Issei's smile faded and he put on a more serious tone.

"I ask you don't request an answer. That is a matter that I wish to keep to myself. But I will enlighten you that it did have to do with my duel and the death of Father John." Irina walked up to him and set her hand in his shoulder which causes him to look to her.

"Well, it's really good to see you Issei." Irina said with her usually cheer; he smiled.

"It's good to see you again too. I bet you're more in tune with your swordsmen ship, and I noticed the ribbon on your arm..."

"Yup, it was passed to me." Irina said with a happy smile.

"Even though you're not a natural born?"

"Yeah, the Researchers have developed a way to make people wield them. I don't know how though." Issei looked to the other girl.

"You too?" He asked. She shook her head no. Issei understood what she meant and looked to at the clock on the wall.

"Well, it's pretty late and you ladies have been traveling for a while. Would you two like to stay here?" He asked. He got two different reactions; Irina's face lit up with the happiest smile he had ever seen, while Xenovia's expression stayed calm and collected, but weary.

After gaining his answers, Issei motioned for them to follow him up the stairs. When he began to walk up said stairs, the girls followed suit. He led the two women up the stairs and to the right. When they got upstairs, Issei could tell that they both tensed up a bit; though they didn't say anything.

"It's not much, but you'll have to share a bed, and you have your own bathroom too." Issei said, trying to relax them. He knew what they felt, Rias and Asia who were in his room.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Xenovia said as she walked into the room.

"Where are you sleeping, Issei?" Irina asked. He froze for a bit, not wanting her to come in and find him sleeping next to two naked girls; especially Devils.

"Ah...I'm in the room over there." He pointed down the hall. "Don't come in my room though. It's a mess at the moment and I wouldn't want you to trip and fall over something on the floor." He lied. He always kept his room clean.

"Oh...ok." Irina looked down, a frown formed in her face. "Is there another room, perhaps?" She asked. "Xenovia moves around in her sleep and sometimes pushes me off the bed."

"That was only twice." The blue haired girl said from the bed. She was sitting in it, setting the wrapped up object against the nightstand.

"Four times actually." Irina said back, she looked back to Issei, who had put his arm to his neck.

"Sorry, but I have no other rooms open." He relied nervously.

"But, doesn't the house have three rooms?" Both Irina and Xenovia were looking at him closely.

"Yes. But someone else has that room at the moment. I have a roommate." To Issei's statement, Irina tensed up and narrowed her eyes.

"A girl?" She asked tersely. Her face turned to worry.

"Yeah…I met her a couple of months ago and she needed a place to stay. I think you guys might like her. She's very sweet and kind, one of the purest souls I've ever met." Issei said honestly.

Irina looked to him concerned. She didn't like knowing another woman was here too. She was jealous.

"Anyway, you two get some rest. I'm sure you have a big day tomorrow." Issei smiled.

"By the way, do you know the location of the Devils in this town?" Xenovia had walked up to the two, still in her white robe. Issei flinched and hesitated.

"Yes, I do. Why?" Issei look worried. This wasn't going to go well.

"We came here on a mission and we must speak with the Devils that are in charge of this town. The Gremory and Sitri I believe." Irina said.

"Ah. Ok. I'll talk to them about it. For now, stay here and don't leave the house. I have to go to school tomorrow so I'll ask them then." Issei tried to end the conversation quickly.

"Thank you, but I'd like to speak with them in person. I can be very persuasive." Xenovia stood up straight and gave him a glare. Issei out his hands up and waved.

"No need to hostile, Xenovia. Issei goes to the same school as them so he has a better shot at setting up the meeting." Irina cut in. She put her hand on her partner. "Trust Issei. He is a good man."

After hearing those words, Xenovia loosened up.

"Alright, but we wish to have the meetings as soon as possible." The blue exorcist commented.

"Not a problem. I'll get you that meeting. For now, get some sleep. We'll talk more tomorrow." Issei gave his usual smile as both girls nodded and heading to the bed. As he closed the door behind him, he watched both girls sit on the bed in silence.

"Tomorrow is another day." He sighed to himself before walking off to his room. Upon opening it up, she saw both Asia and Rias sitting up on his bed. The former was letting everything show, while to latter used his blanket to cover up. He felt the pressure on the room.

"Thank God..owie! That you're alright." Asia said as she held her head.

"Issei, I'll talk to you about this tomorrow. Right now, come back to bed." Rias said calmly and opened her arms.

Issei walked over to the bed and lied down, to which the girls hugged his sides. He thought everything was going to be alright tonight.

"Oh. Yes, I'd be happy to meet with them." Rias whispered into his ear. He felt a chill go down his spine.

'Great.' He thought to himself before drifting off to sleep.

But back in the master bedroom, Irina and Xenovia were laying in the bed together.

"Irina?" Xenovia called out.

"Yes?"

"You felt that, too right? When we walked up the stair?" She asked.

"Yeah, I've felt it ever since I walked in." She shifted over and turned her back to her partner.

"Alright, I was just wondering." Xenovia did the same and closed her eyes. Irina, on the other hand, brought the cover closer to her chin.

'Why does he feel like a Devil?' Irina thought to herself.

It was the early the next morning when Issei woke up from his sleep, momentarily forgetting the events that had transpired last night. The girls weren't in the bed with him, which he found concerning, so he got out of bed and headed down stairs. As he got to the first flool of his house, he was greeted with both Rias and Asia wearing their school uniforms and sitting at the table, eating breakfast. Issei smiled and walked over to his seat at the table, where there was a plate out for him set.

"Morning." He said happily as he pulled the chair out and sat down.

""Morning Issei"" both girls said in unison. He smiled and started small talk with the both of them, while eating his breakfast which was made by Asia.

"So about the Exorcists." Rias starts, "I wish to meet with them after school today in the club house. I've already asked Sona to come by with her Queen. Asia and I will leave after breakfast so you can speak with them without confrontation from us. But they will know that you are a part of my peerage sooner or later, you can't hide that." She said sadly. "I'm sorry if this ruins your friendship with the girl."

"It's alright, Prez. She will have to know anyway." Issei set his fork down. "Better now than later when it's too late. I just hope she will understand. But it's her partner I'm worried about most. She seems very...brash...and I fear she would be willing to break church code or orders to get to her goal."

Rias blinked. "You gained that assumption on just a few minutes of conversation?" She asked. Issei closed his eyes lazily.

"Not really. I've heard of her reputation while in the church. It's pretty interesting." Issei sighed.

"Well don't do anything stupid and if all of this works out," Rias said seductively as she stood up and walked behind him. "I might be willing to give you a reward." She teased. Issei's head was leaned back and put into her cleavage. To which his face turned red and he was speechless.

"Miss President!" Asia said from across the table. Rias giggles and let him go.

"Akeno must be warring off on me. I love teasing you, Issei." She said with a flick of her finger. Issei was lost in thought about her boob pillow to hear what she said.

"Anyway, let's go Asia. I think our guests are waking up." She bonked Issei on the head and both girls told him good bye.

"See ya. I might be late, so tell Sona." He said as he waved and closed the door behind him.

Hearing movement upstairs, Issei decided to clean up around the kitchen for them. He picked up the plates on the table and put them in the sink, and noticed two plates of food set aside for the girls. Issei smiled and set each plate out on the table. He made his way upstairs.

"You girls wake?" He said after he knocked.

"Yes, you can come in." He heard. Opening the door, he found Xenovia standing near the bed wearing lose clothing, without a bra, and shorts that looked like they would fall off at any second. Irina was not in site, but he heard the shower running.

"Irina is in the shower I'm guessing. Anyway there is breakfast on the table for you two." He said with hospitality. Xenovia smiled weakly.

The door to the bathroom opened and Irina walked out, wearing only a towel around her neck, her hair still dry.

"Xenovia, is there another towel out..." She froze when she caught sight of Issei. The latter stood and started at her. Both of their faces turned bright red before Issei turned around swiftly and rushed out the door.

"Ok, well, see you downstairs." He said quickly before closing the door.

Irina took her towel and covered herself in embarrassment. She was about to scream, but Xenovia put a hand over her mouth.

"Shh. You'll be too loud." She said calmly. Irina looked to her partner before looking back at the door.

'Issei saw me. He saw me naked. Oh God, please forgive me for showing a boy my body.' She thought to herself.

Issei however, banged his head against a wall continuously.

[Stop! It echoes!] Ddraig yelled. Issei stopped and looked up, blood running down his forehead.

"No." He said before banging his head through the wall.

The room was silent. Everyone was in the ORC clubroom, plus two extras. The Exorcists were sitting next to one another on the opposite couch that Rias was sitting on. Everyone else was standing around the room.

Issei looked around and noticed that everyone was tenser, but he couldn't blame them. He could also feel the presents in the air and it was making his Devil senses go berserk.

*knock* *knock*

The knock at the door brought everyone out of their trance.

"Come in." Rias called out. The door opened to reveal Sona and her Queen, Tsubaki. "Ah, thank you for joining us, Sona. Please, take a seat." She patted the spot next to her. Sona nodded and took a seat.

"Thank you. I was wondering why you suddenly requested to see me, now I understand why." The Sitri heiress said as she pushed her glasses up, causing them to make a glare.

"We are thankful to be able to meet with you both, heiresses of the Gremory and Sitri." Xenovia said as both Irina and she gave a small bow.

Issei looked to the side and spotted Yuuto. He flinched and shook at every word she made. Anger and fury clearly shown on his face, it looked like he could lash out at any moment. Issei was getting really curious about him and Holy Swords.

'What the hell is his problem? He looks so pissed right now. This isn't Yuuto. It has to do with Holy Swords, he looks worse than he was staring at the picture. What could he have agai...oh my God!' Issei said to himself as his eyes widened in fear, and disappointment as he held his head. He clenched his fist tightly. He knew exactly why Yuuto was pissed.

Turning his attention to Asia, he noticed how she was spinning her thumbs around each other nervously. She obviously was uncomfortable with the two church members.

"There have been a few problems that the Church's is facing. Recently the Holy Swords, Excalibur, that were kept by the Catholic Church Headquarters in the Vatican, Protestant Church, and Eastern Orthodox Church were stolen." Every Devil in room was shocked at this information.

"So three of the seven swords were stolen? What does this have to do with this country so far in the east of the world?" Sona asked. "I highly doubt the Church requested you make us find them and if they thought we stole them, this would be a completely different conversation." Sona commented.

"We are to believe that the ones that stole them escaped to Japan, and brought them to this town." Irina answered. Rias brought her hand to her forehead and sighed.

"It looks like this little town is just full of incidences." Rias said as she brought her hand to her forehead. "Who do you believe stone the Excaliburs?" She asked.

"The ones that stole them were the Grigori. More specifically, one of their leaders, Kokabiel." Xenovia said seriously.

"Kokabiel? Somehow, that doesn't surprise me." Rias commented. She sent a glance at Issei, remembering that it was Kokabiel's hunt for Excalibur that his parents had died.

"Our request...no, our order was to not have any Devils intervene in the battle between us and the Fallen for the Excaliburs. In other words, we came here to tell you not to interfere with this incident." Xenovia sends out a wave of killing intent onto the room, telling the Devils she means business.

"Such manner of speech. Is it restraint? Are you thinking that we might collaborate with those Fallen Angels? Perhaps that we might team up with them to do something with Excalibur?" Sona comments in a serious tone.

"The thought had crossed the Higher-ups minds."

Rias and Sona both looked at her with glares of warning. They were clearly pissed as well.

"The Higher-ups don't trust Devils or Fallen Angels. We were ordered that if the Holy Swords are taken away from God's side then the Devils would also be happy, right? The Fallen Angels would also profit from it. For those reasons it wouldn't be weird for them to form an alliance. That's why we are giving you a warning. If you had or will form an alliance with the Fallen Angel Kokabiel then we will eliminate you all, even if you both are the little sisters of a Satan."

Issei looks over at Xenovia in worry. She is very confident and very upfront. She believes that she could take everyone in this room if needed, and that might be a mistake on her part.

"If you know that we are sisters of Satans, then that must mean you are very high up in the Church. So I will stay this, I will not form an alliance with the Fallen Angels. Never. As the heiress of the Gremory Clan, I would never do something to tarnish the name of my family or our Satans." Rias declares as she puffs out her chest and crossed her arms underneath her breasts.

Issei, on the sidelines, giggled to himself and enjoys the show of cleavage. 'Oh man!' He thinks with a small lecherous smile forming on his face.

[Does she realize that the ordeal with Riser did tarnish the family name?] Ddraig says out of nowhere in Issei's head.

'Shut up. You're ruining the moment for me!' He quipped back. 'I must take mental images.'

"I shall follow suit of Rias here. I will not make any allegiance with the Fallen Angel Faction and we will not interfere or hinder your mission." Sona acts more polite and crosses her legs mid statement.

Both Xenovia and Irina smile.

"We thank you for your cooperation in this matter." Irina said happily.

Xenovia was continuing on but Issei's thoughts were drawn elsewhere by a voice in his head.

[This whole thing smells foul. Kokabiel is high up and has a lot of supports, and even though we haven't seen him since that night, he is still very powerful and influential.] Ddraig said.

'Agreed, He seems to be collecting them.' Issei twisted and contorted as memories of the last night he was with his parents came to fill his mind. 'I spent most of my life trying to find that damned Angel, this will be the perfect time to.' Issei smiled wickedly.

[Don't let your emotions gain control over you. In the many centuries I've been in this Gear, I have seen many fall by the blind rage of revenge. Control yourself, or you will lose yourself eventually, partner.] Ddraig said wisely.

Issei frowned. Ddraig was right. He couldn't let revenge take over him. He closed his eyes and heaved a heavy sigh. Everyone in the room look towards him. He opened his eyes to a sight of every pair of eyes on him.

"Do you have a problem, Mr. Hyoudou?" Sona asked what everyone of thinking.

Issei stiffened up and gave a weak smile while waving his arms.

"What? No. No problem here! I was just thinking of something." Issei opened his eyes to see her narrow hers at him.

'That stare is so cutting.' Issei thought.

[Reminds me of a friend of mine; She hates me now.] Ddraig commented.

"Anyway, that will be all, Miss Gremory, Miss Sitri." Xenovia bowed her head and Irina mirrored her.

"You both didn't touch the tea." Rias sounded a bit saddened.

"We came to warm you, not have a friendly conversation." Xenovia said as emotionlessly as possible.

"But we are sorry if we offended you in any way." Irina said as she smiled and bowed.

Rias sighed, but still smiled as Akeno started to pick up the tea cups. Issei felt a pair of hands grip his arms from behind. He became cautious when he looked behind him, but found and very afraid Asia. She had her eyes closed and he lips were tightly shut.

"You there, blond girl." Xenovia said harshly. Issei raised a brow and turned to look at the Exorcist. He couldn't tell, but Asia opened one eye and tried to stand up straight.

"You wouldn't happen to be the Ex-Holy Maiden Asia Argento would you?" Asia flinched and gripped harder into Issei's clothing at the mention of her old status.

"Let me ask you this. Do you still believe in God?" Xenovia looked down at Asia with a hard gaze. The Devils flinched slightly, something that Irina took notice to.

Asia shifted and looked down. Stepping to the side, Issei saw that Asia held a soft and sad gaze, but it was more serious than anything.

"I do." Asia proclaimed. "Even though I'm no longer a messenger of the church, I still own my life to Him. He had guided me throughout my life and he still continues to even though I am a Devil." Asia had opened her eyes and stood up straight. She looked she was challenging Xenovia. But the latter just smirked.

"If you still hold so much faith, then you wouldn't mind me exterminating you right now." Xenovia called out before grabbing hold of the wrapping around her back and pulling. The cloth unwound around the object and reveal a massive sword with what looked like axe heads for a guard. The sword had an odd shaped blade that indented at the end and created three points instead of one. "Your faith will be judged by God himself. It would be an honor to be an honor for a Devil to die by an Excalibur."

Everyone in the room, even Irina made a move towards the girls. But they were too late. As the blade was about to reach Asia's shoulders, it was paired with another blade. The sound of metal hitting metal echoed in the large room. Everyone froze.

"What?!" Xenovia exclaimed as she looked at the blade that had stopped hers. It was in the shape of a broadsword. The blade was a shining silver and the guard was a crimson red with a dark green gem and yellow triangles coming off the black ring that seemed to hold the gem in place. It was simple, but very unique.

Her gaze traveled up the wielders arm and it his face. It was Issei. He held a terrifying gaze that would strike fear in a dragon. His eyes had changed to a golden yellow and his pupils had become black vertical slits. His grin showed off jagged teeth, sharpened to a point. She could swear she could see fire burning in his eyes.

"You touch her and I'll rip your fucking head off your shoulders." Issei growled. His voice was as menacing as his stature.

Xenovia retracted her blade and jumped to the far end of room. She then entered a stance like she was read for a fight.

"Issei!" Rias yelled, rushing to his and Asia's side.

"Xenovia!" Irina shouted as she rushed to her partner's side. "What do you think you are doing?! We are here to make peace with them, not anger them!" She yelled. Xenovia started to shake and she fell on one knee. Irina gasped and looked back over to Issei. She watched on with familiarity as Issei stomped over to them with a crimson aura emitting off his body, but she could also feel something off about it. He stopped right in front of them.

"Issei! Please! She's sorry; she didn't mean it!" Irina pleaded. Issei gazed back to his childhood friend and his stare softened. His aura started to die down and he closed his eyes as he took in a deep breath.

"Miss Quarta." He said. Xenovia looked up at him when she felt like she could move. She had no recollection of either Irina or herself telling him her last name. "You are lucky I don't exterminate you right now for what you just tried to pull off. If it wasn't for Irina, you would be far less lucky to even be standing right now. I suggest you watch yourself in the future." Issei closed his eyes again and heaved a great sigh. "You are all too arrogant to use the name of our Lord," He paused because of the sudden headache. "To do as you please. You are in Devil territory, remember that."

Xenovia stood up weakly with the support of Irina. "Why?" She asked. "Why do you defend her? She is a Devil and still believes in the Lord. It is a stain on his name. Someone of your previous statues should know this!" She yelled. Issei frowned and shook his head.

"I see that you have been brainwashed." Issei said solemnly. This brought both Exorcists to raise a brow. "Killing all Devils and Fallen isn't the mission of those of the church. It's to defend the people and spread God's grace. Those demons you face in the field are just that, demons. Not Devils. Devils can be civil and are like humans by nature. You could say that Devils are just humans with powers. Though it may be true that Devils cannot pray to our Lord," silence. "And there are those that did not wish to become a Devil." Issei lowers his head. Irina looks over to him and then turns her head to Asia, how looks a little sad.

"Issei...you're a Devil. Aren't you?" Irina managed to ask. Her heart started to ache. She knew it was true, but she had to ask. Issei's eyes widened and then turned solemn and distant.

"Yes. I am." A pair was leathered bat wings sprouted out of his back, speaking wide for everyone to see.

Irina let go of Xenovia and carefully moved towards her friend. Her outstretched hand gripped gently on his left wing. She could feel the heat and texture of it. They were real. Her eyes started to tear up.

"Issei!" She cried as she hugged him tightly. Everyone watched as the girl clung onto him for dear life as she cried on his shoulder. Issei wrapped his arms around her body and rested his head in her shoulder. No one feared to move.

Her cries turned to sniffles as she let go of him. "Please tell me what happened tonight." She ordered. "You idiot."

Issei smiled and chucked to himself. "Of course I will." He patted her head, to which she gave a small and happy smile at.

Rias felt her chest tighten while she watched to two friends. She felt a burning desire in her chest and crushing rage coursing through her veins. She was jealous. Looked to the left of the two, she watched as Xenovia stood up straight.

"You..." She said while trembling, her strength was slowly coming back to her. "As a respected member of the Church, even in exile, found solace in the Devils?" She said curiously. She didn't sound mad or hostile, just curiosity and doubt. Issei smiled.

"Sort of. I didn't have a choice in the matter. But in my travels for two years, I've learned a lot and realized there is still a lot I need to learn. I'm not perfect and it was because of that that I'm here now. I'll tell you both later." Irina and Xenovia both nodded at this. Irina wanted to know what happened to her friend, while Xenovia wanted to learn. Her faith was not as strong as most, and it was because of her power and heritage that she is where she is now, and even she has doubt.

"Ahem." Sona said to interrupt the trio. "If that is all, I'd like a day a few words." Issei, Irina and Xenovia raised a brow. "Please don't make another attempt like that again. Even though Asia here isn't a part of my peerage, I am still one of the people in charge in Kuoh, along with Rias. If a fight does break out, however, try to make as less damage as possible." She said.

"We can't promise the damages, but we will try to be peaceful to the Devils in your territory, Miss Sitri." Irina said with a smile.

"Good. Now, if you excuse us, my Queen and I have some work that needs to be done. Thank you." Sona bowed, causing Tsubaki to do the same. They soon walked out in silence. Rias, her peerage and the Exorcists were all that were left. Xenovia looked over at Issei again and looked to his sword.

"Where did the sword come from?" She asked him. It was able to withhold an attack from Excalibur Destruction, so it was not just any sword. Issei looked at her before giving a faint smile.

"Oh! Sorry about that. This is how I used Excalibur Mimic." Issei flicked his wrist and the broad sword bent and folded until it turned into a white bracelet. Irina grabbed her arm and widened her eyes. Xenovia stiffened up.

"When did you? ISSEI!" Irina yelled before taking the Excalibur from him. Issei laughed wearily, but he stopped when he felt killing intent directed him. He knew I was from Yuuto.

"Impressive. I had no idea that Mimic could withstand an attack from Destruction." Xenovia brought her hand to her chin. She was lost in thought as Issei walked away.

As he walked back over to Rias after folding up his wings the later kept her eyes on him and looked at him curiously and folded her arms across her chest.

"President, can I make a request before our guests leave?" He asked. Everyone, save Asia looked at him curiously. Rias nods. "Can I have a spar with them outside?"

Rias visibly stiffened. She looked at him in worry and shock. "Why?" She asked out of shock. She was afraid of him fighting a weirder of Excalibur, let alone two at once.

"I wish to test their strength and I want to see if my strength has come back to me from my battle with Riser." He said with a cocky grin.

After a while of thinking, Rias agreed. "You can spar with them, but under a few conditions: try not to damage the surrounding, you with partner with some else, and you try to not get hurt much." Rias leaned over and gave him a loving hug, shoving his face in her cleavage. Irina looked on in shock before glaring at the High Class Devil.

"Thank you, Prez. Who is going to be my partner?" Issei asked once he was free from her embrace. The sound of wood cracking was heard before footsteps headed towards the two.

"I want to fight." Yuuto said with malice in his voice.
