White Wings

Chapter 5 – The Excommunicated Nun

Previously on White Wings

After 10 minutes of walking the trio made it to the abandoned church. 'There are a few exorcists here as well, what would they want with fallen angels' Issei thought looking at Asia who smiled at the two angels. "Thank you for all your help" she said as she started walking to the front doors. "Sure" Dulio said waving while Issei nodded and turned away. "Come, we have to get to school" Issei said and Dulio quickly followed after him. When the two were a distance away they stopped. "That girl has a Sacred Gear" Dulio said and Issei nodded. "Do you think she is involved with whatever the fallen are planning" Issei asked and Dulio frowned. "No she doesn't seem the type" he said and Issei sighed. "You just saying that because you think she is cute" Issei said and continued walking when Dulio blushed. "What are you talking about" he tried objected were Issei just smiled. 'She can't be involved, could she?' Dulio thought sadly.

Now

School

Issei and Dulio sat in class when it finally calmed down after their late entrance. 'Could Asia really be involved with the fallen angels, she doesn't seem like the type of girl that would do something like that' Dulio thought as he looked out the window. Issei was resting his chin on his hands 'Asia Argento, I know that name from somewhere, I'll speak to Michael when we get back home' Issei thought as he was pulled out of his thoughts when the school bell rang. It was already lunch when the two jumped out the window as usual making their way back to tree they relaxed beneath the day before.

Occult Research Clubroom

During the break all the devils in Rias's peerage gathered in the clubroom. Once everyone was seated Akeno started to pour out the tea. "Koneko, can you give your report please" Rias asked Koneko who was eating some biscuits. "The Hyoudou brothers were confronted by two fallen angels, I didn't see the fight but when they left both fallen angels were shocked" Koneko explained as she now went back to her food. "So you didn't sense anything abnormal about them?" Rias asked and Koneko shook her head. "No they are human, but at the same time it doesn't seem possible because they have such reflexes and Issei Hyoudou actually noticed me when I was hiding my presence yesterday morning" Koneko explained.

"How did they react after they left the fallen angels?" Akeno asked making Koneko pause as she was about to take a bite. "They acted normally, they didn't freak out like someone normally would, they just went back to deciding what to have for dinner" Koneko said as she put the biscuit in her mouth. "They are human but they have Sacred Gears, if I am correct about that" Rias said but muttered the last part. 'How am I going to approach this' Rias thought as she looked at everyone. "Just continue watching them, I'm betting the fallen angels will try contact them again" Rias said and Koneko nodded leaving the room as the bell rang again.

After School

Issei and Dulio were walking home in silence while Issei listened to his music and Dulio eating a chocolate bar. 'The fallen angels aren't following us, only that devil again' Issei thought as they reached their house. The two passed the barrier and walked inside, the barrier would make sure that their conversation couldn't be heard and no devils could pass it. Putting their bags in their rooms and getting changed the two came back to the lounge. "I want to ask Michael about Asia Argento, I feel like I have heard that name before" Issei said as he created a magic circle beneath himself. "Alright, I'll decide on dinner" Dulio said with a smile making Issei sigh as he left through the magic circle.

~o~O~o~

Heaven

Issei arrived at the entrance to the main building, he was now dressed in the normal white clothing that the angels wore in heaven. Making his way to the elevator he went up to the Zebel where he knew that the Seraphs were. Arriving at the level the four seraphs were sitting around the table when Issei walked in. "Ah Issei, how was school?" Gabriel asked as she stood up and gave Issei a hug which he returned. "It was… interesting, but that's not why I came here" Issei said looking over to Michael who nodded "Yes, then what do you wish to speak of" he said and Issei sighed.

"Dulio and I met a nun called Asia Argento, I've heard that name before but can't remember from where, we escorted her to the church where the fallen angels are gathering so we don't know if she is involved with them or not" Issei said then he saw Michael's expression frown for a moment. "Yes I remember Asia Argento, she is an excommunicated nun, she was forced to leave the church" Michael said confusing Issei. "What did she do?" he asked and Michael sighed. "She healed a devil" he said and Issei's eyes widened. "The leader of the church where she was labelled her as a witch, even if we could intervene then there would be a lot of talk which could make people leave the faith, so we had leave it be" he said and Issei frowned slightly.

"But besides that did she do anything else that would make her want to work with the fallen angels?" Issei asked and Michael shook his head. "She has been a strong believer ever since she was born, even now after being excommunicated she is still a believer" Michael said and Issei released a breath that he was holding. "So what would the fallen angels want with her?" Issei asked and Michael put his hand under his chin. "If I remember correctly she had a special Sacred Gear, it's called Twilight Healing which is how she was able to heal a devil" Michael said and Issei nodded.

"So the fallen angels must want her for her Sacred Gear, that could be dangerous" Issei muttered the last part then looked over to Gabriel. "What do you want me to do without causing problems with the fallen angels?" Issei asked when Michael stood up. "Remember when I told you that there were fallen angels gathering in Kuoh, but it wasn't under Azazel's orders so this group isn't part of the Grigori" Michael said seeing Issei's face harden slightly. "So if conflict occurs between us and the fallen angels concerned then this won't be a cause for war" Issei asked and Michael nodded his head. "That is true, but Azazel did say he wanted the fallen angels alive for questioning" he said and Issei nodded. "Thank you, I should get going" and Issei left in a magic circle.

~o~O~o~

With Issei and Dulio

Issei made it back from heaven arriving in the lounge. Sitting on the couch was Dulio holding a large bucket filled with chicken "Care to explain" Issei said crossing his arms, Dulio looked up quickly and began choking on the piece of food in his mouth. After a few minutes and a sip of water later Dulio turned back to Issei. "Well I was hungry and you didn't say what you wanted, so I got chicken and chips, yours is still in the kitchen" Dulio said as he started eating again. "Alright" Issei sighed walking to the kitchen getting his food then going back to the lounge.

"So what did Michael say about Asia?" Dulio asked and Issei looked up at him. "It seems that Asia was excommunicated from the church for healing a devil, she does have a sacred gear so that could be the reason why the fallen angels are interested in her" Issei said and Dulio's eyes widened. "So you don't think she knows what they really want with her" he asked and Issei shook his head. "Those fallen angels aren't under Azazel's orders so it doesn't involve the Grigori, so anything that happens to them isn't going to be an act of war" Issei said and Dulio nodded. "Well I guess tomorrow we can deal with all that stuff" Dulio said as he continued eating.

~o~O~o~

The Next Morning

It was now Saturday and the two were walking around the town looking for any more clues when they came across an abandoned warehouse. "It seems that there was a stray devil here" Issei said as he looked down at the burn marks on the ground. "Yeah not anymore" Dulio said and the two continued on their way. 'Those fallen angels are watching us again' Dulio thought annoyed as he sensed the two fallen angels from before.

After a few more hours the two came back to the park where they saw Asia sitting down on the bench facing the fountain "Asia" Dulio said as he walked up to her and she looked up facing him. "Oh Dulio, Issei, I didn't know you would be here" Asia said with a smile. "Yeah we were just walking around, so what are you doing here?" Dulio asked as he sat down next to Asia while Issei just leaned against the fountain side watching them. "Well I was told that I could go outside today, plus the sun felt very welcoming" Asia said with a smile but the two angels could see that it was slightly forced.

"Oh well that's good" Dulio said with a smile. The three sat in silence for a few moments "OUCH!" all three looked to the side to see a young boy laying on the ground with a bleeding knee. Asia quickly stood up and ran to him as he started to cry. "There, there, let me fix this" Asia said as she raised her hands, the rings on her fingers began to glow green and she placed it on the boys knee. Issei and Dulio watched at the wound began to heal itself 'So that's the power of Twilight Healing' Issei thought as he turned to Dulio who had an impressed look on his face. 'Incredible' Dulio thought as he watched the wound heal completely.

When the injury was gone the boy looked up at Asia "It's gone" he said looking down at his now unharmed knee. "Thank you miss" he said as he ran back to his mother who was standing there in shock after seeing this. When the two left Asia turned to face Issei and Dulio with a nervous face, Dulio decided to fake ignorance "How did you do that?" Dulio asked Asia who looked down at her hands. "Ever since I was small I have been able to heal people, it must be a gift from God" she said as she put her hands together in a silent prayer. 'So that is the power the fallen angels want' Issei thought as he looked down at the rings.

"That is an amazing gift" Issei said and Asia nodded. "Yes it is" she said with a sad smile "Are you alright?" Dulio asked and Asia nodded. "I know how about we hang out today" Dulio said with a smile, Issei was about to object when "Alright" Asia interrupted before he could finish 'I knew that he would do something like this, I just knew it' Issei thought as he followed behind the two. 'Those fallen angels are still following us, can't we get a break from them' he thought as he continued to listen to his music. The three went to many different shops where Dulio got Asia a stuffed animal toy when they made their way back to the park.

~o~O~o~

Sundown

"I had a really fun day" Asia said looking at the two where Dulio smiled and Issei just nodded. "Yeah it was, we're friends after all" Dulio said and Asia's eyes widened. "Friends, I've never had any friends" she said then smiled while nodding. 'Somethings coming' Issei thought as he jumped out of the way just as a lightspear hit the ground where he just stood. "Tch, missed" a female voice said, it was the black haired girl from before. "Lady Raynare, why did you do that?" Asia asked as she ran up to Issei to see if he was alright. "It's time for you to come back" she said as she watched the two angels. "Alright" Asia muttered then turned to face the two.

"Well it looks like I need to be going, I had a great time" she said with a bow then turned back to the fallen angel. "What are you going to do with her?" Dulio asked as he grabbed Asia by the arm and pulled her behind him to protect her. "That isn't any of your business human" Raynare said as she revealed her black feathered wings. "Now get over here Asia, unless you want something to happen to your friends here" Raynare threatened with a smug look. "Not going to happen" Dulio said took a step forward. "Fine" she said as she created a lightspear and threw it at Dulio. Asia quickly covered her eyes so she would see anything. Before the spear his Dulio Issei had kicked it out of the way sending it to the other side of the park.

Issei slowly turned to face Raynare "You do realise that if you had successfully injured Dulio and the spear went through him then it would have hit Asia right" Issei said watching as Raynare's face had some realisation then turned to a scowl. Asia quickly ran out from behind Dulio and to Raynare with tears in her eyes. "I'll come with you, just please don't hurt them" Asia pleaded to Raynare who just smiled. "I won't now come here" she said and Asia walked to Raynare's side. "WAIT!" Dulio yelled as he took a step forward but before he could reach her Asia and Raynare disappeared. 'Their heading towards the abandoned church' Dulio thought as he turned to Issei who was walking away.

"Issei" Dulio started when he was cut off by Issei "Don't worry, we'll save your girlfriend" he said with a smug smile on his face. Dulio's cheeks went red as he ran after "I have no idea what you are talking about, she's just a friend that happens to be a girl" Dulio tried to protest when Issei just snorted "Keep telling yourself that" Issei said as the two walked back to their current house. When it got dark the two got dressed and headed towards the old church with Issei directing them. "Remember what Michael said, Azazel wants the fallen angels alive, but I'm not sure about the exorcists that are there as well" Issei said as the two ran up the stairs. "It depends on the situation" Dulio said as they reached the entrance for the church. "Ready" Issei said and Dulio nodded. "Yeah" he replied.

~ Until the Next Chapter ~

New Chapter

I decided to have Asia come in more here, along with the devils becoming aware that Issei and Dulio know about the supernatural, it should be obvious when they didn't react to seeing fallen angels, it's implied. For the next chapter it is going to be the fight that happened in the church along with how Asia is going to be rescued, I followed some of the canon in this.

Please Review and tell me what you want to happen to Asia, should she stay human, become an angel, become a devil, or stay dead. If she should be rescued before her Sacred Gear is taken or after. It depends on the majority to what would happen. Also if Rias and her peerage should find out that Issei and Dulio are angels in the next chapter.
