A/N: Heyo, heres another chap of The 72 Pillars and a Cat. Kuroka will appear in a few chapters, I'm going to introduce Ayuma properly first :) Thanks guys.

Chapter 4: Ayama Valefar

"What?! Is that even possible Buchou?" Issei said in a shockingly state. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He thought he was dazing off but the words ringed in his ear.

"Yes, Hades-sama is the God of the Undead. He could do anything to people's souls from reviving it and perishing it from this world completely" Rias explained. "We need to tell this to Onii-sama."

Issei agreed and they all went back to the house. When they reached the training base, she saw Ayama, Sirzechs, and Asia enjoying tea that was made by Ayama herself.

"Oh, hello Rias. It's been a while hasn't it?" She said while looking and smiling at Rias.

"I could say the same to you Ayama." She said while smiling.

She looks at Issei and she felt something hot creep up her cheeks. She might've been unconcious but she heard Issei's statement loud and clear:

'I'll kill those whoever did this to you'

Remembering the line she started blushing and started staring off. Little did she know, she was still staring at Issei.

Issei looks at her, blushing and he said "Are you okay Ayama-san?"

That put her out of he trance.

"H-huh? Y-yeah." She replied.

Seeing those two the girls started to get a bit jealous.

'Another beautiful girl? I have no chance with Ise-san anymore' thought Asia.

Irina and Xenovia tried to hide the fact that they were jealous by looking away.

Rias and Akeno on the other hand, were on the offensive as they both went to Issei's side and holding his arm, putting both his arms in between their oppai.

"Anyways," Rias chimed in, "What happened to you Ayama? We thought that the Valefar clan was long gone, including you"

"Well, not exactly. Don't get me wrong, You are correct Rias, the Valefar clan is long gone, except for me." She replied while frowning.

"By the way Buchou, how do you know Ayama-san?" asked Issei.

"I think it's best to let Ayama answer that question Ise" she replied.

Ayama nodded trying to hold back her tears because it was painful and began to tell her story;
"As you know, my father used to be a Maou before Sirzechs was. Sirzechs became a Maou about 5 years after my father's death. Also, that was before the other Maou after my father (Vali's Grandfather). The reason for my fathers death was...me..." Tears started flowing out of her eyes. She didn't want to remember what happened but they at least have to know a little about her. She continued "That was because, of a prophecy. Since my father was a devil and my mother was a vampire, they thought I was a threat. The prophecy was that ;
'One day, a hybrid of two powerful races, will make the Underworld fall.' "

Tears kept flowing out of her eyes. She put her head down but still continued, "When everyone in the Underworld heard about the prophecy, my father wanted to protect me from everybody. He gave up the position of Maou just to protect me. It was then when everybody who was afraid of me attacked the Valefar clan. We used to be strong, but with the help of Ultimate-Class devils we didn't stand a chance. So my father told me to run away. I didn't want to at first but he was pleading me saying to live on as the only Valefar standing. So I did... I was alone. Until I met Rias and her brother Sirzechs. They took me in and I started to train and gain control of my power. My existance was hidden so that the Gremory clan wouldn't fall like our clan did. When I grew up, I gained complete control over my powers, vampiric and demonic. When that happened I told the Gremory clan that I was going to leave and be on the road, living by myself. They opposed to it but Rias said that this was my decision not theirs, so I lived without anyone knowing my existance, until..."

She didn't want to continue. The memories were too sad for her.

Seeing how sad she was, Issei tried to comfort her.

"So what? That doesn't mean it's you. There are tons of vampire-devil hybrids. You aren't the only one. Even if that will one day happen, and it happens to be you, I'll be here for you. Even though I just met you today, you seem to be a very kind and caring person. Ignore the prophecy because you're limiting it to only yourself. Like I said, there are many more vampire-devil hybrids. I'll do all I could in my ability to help you out." Issei said while flashing a smile.

She started to lift her head up a little bit and Issei moved away from Akeno and Rias and moves right in front of Ayama. He picked up her head and wiped away her tears.

"Come on, pretty girls aren't suppouse to cry."
(Smooth as fuck lol.)

Hearing that, she got much more better. She felt as if the burden that was on her all these years suddenly lifted away.

"I could see why all the girls in here are in-love with you." She said point out to all the girls who seemed to be so flustered by the speech that Issei had just stated. Ayama moved more towards Issei and started to embrace him. This caused all the girls to look at both of them with a killing intent.

'My,my, Ise-kun you're maturing more and more everytime I see you. It seems like your future is bright. I hope you make the right decisions' Sirzechs thought while chuckling.

"Well, if thats the case, I'll take my leave." Sirzechs said.

"Alright, I'll see you around Onii-sama" Rias said as Sirzechs and Grayfia stepped into the teleportation circle of their own and they teleported away.

"I will be going as well," Ayama said wiping some left-over tears.

"Wait, where are you going?" Issei asked.

"Back to hiding. Now that they know I'm alive, I'm going to have to run away as far as possible. If I don't I'll just cause trouble for everyone." She explained.

Issei didn't want that. There was something about this girl that he wanted to stay with him. Other than the fact that she's beautiful, she really has a generous heart and cares for you, like Buchou and Akeno.

She started to prepare her own teleportation circle. She was about to leave but a hand stopped her from continuing.

"No, I want you to stay, stay with me Ayama-san!" Issei yelled out loud.

Everybody was shocked including Ayama. Was this a confession?

Ayama couldn't help but to smile. She walked towards Issei and cuffed her hands on both of his cheeks. Their faces were so close together that they could hear each other breathe.

"Don't worry, I have a feeling I'll be seeing you soon, Ise-kun"

She closed the gap between them and their lips touched. Her lips were soft and warm, just like her heart Issei thought. She snaked her arms around his neck and she kissed more passionately. When she pulled away, Issei was already missing her warmth. The two blushed while the other members were in shock. Both of their faces were red, and she started to move away. She held his hand and said "You'll see me soon Ise." with a smile. She stepped inside her circle, and white flash covered the room, and she was nowhere to be found, leaving Issei by himself with the rest of his group.

"Ise-san you're so mean!"
"...I have no chance with Ise-senpai anymore"
"I feel like I'm losing Ise.."
"Ise-kun, why?"

Asia, Koneko, Xenovia and Irina all shouted at Issei.

Rias started to pout.

"They are right Ise, you have me and you kiss another girl?" Rias said outloud.

"Ara-ara, this affair just got a lot more harder" Akeno said.

They all tackled Issei and were fighting over him. Normally, Issei would care, but he didn't mind at all. He just kept repeating the words that Ayama had promised him:

'You'll see me soon Ise'
