I appreciate all of the support on this story, it encourages me to continue and make the best story that I can. It means a lot to me that other people like this just as much as I do. Since last chapter was a little over 1800 words this one will only be around 1200 to keep with the 3000 words a week quota.


"Akeno and I have somewhere to be so we'll talk with you when we come back," Rias assured. Her words didn't console me at all though, Asia was all I could think about. She was going to be punished and it was all my fault. Now that her bosses knew that she was friends with a devil they were going to make an example out of her. On top of all that no one else in the club seemed to care. I know we're devils but can't we still be good people? Isn't it our moral duty to save Asia? In the end it doesn't matter to me, I'm going to save Asia even if it kills me. There is no way I can live knowing that someone is in trouble because of me.

"See ya guys later," I murmured before walking towards the exit. As if reading my mind Kiba grabbed my hand to stop me.

"You can't. You know that. What you're planning on doing is suicide," Kiba reasoned with me.

"Well, I don't really care if I die or not, I have to save her. I won't let an innocent person suffer, so don't try and stop me," hissed as I pulled his arm off and continued walking.

"Who said anything about stopping you? All I said was that going alone would be suicide," Kiba replied with a smile. "Isn't that right Koneko?" She shook her head in agreement which caught me completely off guard.

"So you're telling me that you two will help me go directly against our master's orders? Are you really okay with this?" I asked. Why would a loyal knight like Kiba betray his master's orders? What was he playing at?

"When it comes down to it I do whatever I feel is in Rias's best interest even if it is against her wishes. If you died then Rias would take it very hard and she would never be able to use your pawn pieces so her house would never be complete. Also I think of you as my comrade and I hope to be close friends in the future so keeping you safe is my priority. Anyways you aren't the only one who has a score to settle with the fallen angels," blurted out.

I thought about his words for a second. If he and Koneko really did want to help me then the odds of saving Asia would increase drastically and I might not even have to die to do it. Seeing as this was my only option I agreed and the three of us made our way to the church. The church was the likeliest place that the fallen angels would be at in town. In record timing we made it to the outside of the church. The three of us were hidden in the bushes until we could come up with a fool proof plan that would allow us to save Asia and make it out alive. As I was still pondering our plan of attack I saw Koneko move to the church's front doors. Not wanting to be left behind the two of us followed until we were directly in front of the doors to the church. I was just to ask Koneko what the hell she was doing when she started to speak.

"There's no point in hiding, they is no way that they don't already know we're here," Konoko reasoned. As I thought about it I couldn't help but agree with her. They had to know that I would come for her and most likely they have cameras all around outside incase of situations like this would rise up.

"Good point," Kiba chimed in. "Let's hurry on in then." Kiba led the way while Koneko fell to the back as if they were protecting me. Once we entered the church we noticed how strangely quiet it was. If this really was the place then where were the enemies? I was just about to tell the others that this was the wrong place when I heard a familiar laugh that sent a chill down my spine. The exorcist from earlier walked to the middle of the church with his usual creepy attitude.

"Hello again devil scum. Would it be too hasty for me to presume that you three came here to die?" He asked with a sinister smile.

"You know the reason that we're here. It's because you douche bags took Asia. Give her back!" I screamed as I lost my composure.

"My my, you really seem to care about this girl don't you? Well then I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you but she's going through the ritual right now and once she finishes she'll die. Well I guess I shouldn't say sorry since I really don't care what happens to that slut but…" He taunted.

"We're going to kill you you piece of shit. Harming an innocent girl for no reason is despicable," I countered. Before he could come up with a reply the three of us charged and attacked.

"Do you hear that commotion upstairs?" Raynare asked Asia. "It looks like you're friends made it just in time. Now what should we do? Should I make you watch them die or make them watch you die?"

"D-don't hurt them, they haven't done anything wrong. It's me that you want anyway, so please just don't hurt them," Asia pleaded.

"Aw you really seem to care for that brat with the sacred gear don't you? How well do you even know him? Did he tell you that I was his girlfriend?" Raynare questioned trying to toy with Asia's emotions.

Raynare could see the shock that came to Asia's face from her words and started to laugh. "There's no way that Ise would date someone like you! He's a good person!" Asia yelled.

Raynare changed into her Yuma form so Asia would understand. "See this is how I was able to gain his trust. It was too easy really, virgins are so horny that they wouldn't hesitate to trust a pretty girl. I could have killed him right off of the bat but it was fun toying with his emotions for the date before seeing the shock and terror in his eyes as I stabbed him with my spear of light," Raynare jeered in delight.

"You're such a terrible person. How could you do that to someone as pure hearted as Ise. That could have long lasting effects on his mind. How were you ever an angel? You far worse than devils are," Asia cried out. She was scared out of her mind but she didn't want any harm to come to Ise.

"You bitch!" Raynare screamed as she slapped Asia in the face. "Who do you think you are talking down to me? I used to be an angel all you are is a filthy little human. In our eyes you're nothing more than pesky insects that we can squash to our pleasing. I would watch your tongue because if you don't I'll cut it out," Raynare promised. "It looks like the ritual has almost been completed, just a little more and your Twilight Healing sacred gear will be mine and I'll become the strongest fallen angel."
