A blinding light shone in my eyes and caused me to wake up. I slowly got up out of bed and made my way downstairs for breakfast. I had a pounding headache so I had to try my hardest to focus on every action that I did. Just making it to the fridge and drinking the milk in the carton took up the same focus that I would usually spend on a final exam. Something must be wrong with me, I guess that I will have to meet up with Rias to see what is happening.

"Umm…. Ise what are you doing?" A familiar voice asked. I turned around and saw my mom, my dad, and Asia sitting at the dinner table.

The shock was so much that I fell over. What happened? The last thing I remember was Raynare stealing the Twilight Healing sacred gear from Asia causing her to die. Now that I knew that Asia was alive I ran to her and pulled her into a hug. "I'm so glad that you're alive Asia!" I exclaimed with joy.

"Ise!" I heard my mom yell. I turned around to face her and was confused by the disgusted look on her face. "Where are your clothes?" After my mom said those words I looked down and saw that I was only wearing my underwear. Things became very awkward and uncomfortable for me at that moment so I ran upstairs to hide in my room.

Not too long after I made it into my room I heard a knock on my door. I told them to come in and saw that it was none other than Asia. "So Ise you can't remember what happened last night can you?"

"No I can't," I replied. "How did you happen to know that?"

"Last night Rias told me that you probably were going to lose some memory from last night due to how hard your head hit the ground," Asia mentioned in a matter of fact tone.

"If I may ask, how did I hit my head again?" I uttered in a curious tone.

"Well after Raynare killed me you went berserk and eventually took her down but in the process you fell from where you were fighting directly on your head and the ground cracked due to your impact. Any normal human would have died but due to the fact that you are a devil you were able to survive with the only side effect being memory loss," Asia explained.

Wait, I could have sworn that she just said that she died…. I must have been hearing things right? I mean she is here right now in the flesh so she couldn't have died now could she. "Um I might be wrong but I thought I heard you mention that you died? Is that true?" I asked.

"Yes, the truth is that Raynare killed me for my sacred gear. The only reason that I am here now it because after I died Rias reincarnated me as a devil," Asia replied.

"Wait so you're telling me that you are a devil now? There is no way," I tell her in disbelief. Asia is the exact opposite of what a devil should be, there is no way that she became a devil right?

"Aren't you curious about why I am staying at your place?" She chides me.

"Well yeah, now that you mention it I was very confused about that whole thing," I started. "So why are you here again?"

"Well Rias told me that I could stay here if I wanted to be close to you and I do so here we are. Rias also 'talked' with your parents again so that is why have welcomed me with open arms," Asia murmured in her typical timid voice.

"Okay well I am done asking questions for today, I just woke up and I have already had a too much information given to me. I will ask you more about this in a couple of days so that we can clear the air," I tell her as I make my way to the shower.

"Who would have thought that Ise's sacred gear was the Red Dragon Emperor," Rias stated in disbelief. "No wonder why he took up all of my pawns, do you realize how lucky this is? He is our secret weapon."

"To be honest I'm surprised as well, I always knew he was special but not like that. Only one other sacred gear like his exists in the world, which is a 1 in 4 billion chance of possessing it. That's not just lucky that is almost impossible," Akeno countered. "To think I grew up with him and had no idea about this until now." A hurt expression came over her face as she remembered the past.

"This is the last time I will ever bring it up, but you should tell him. It is his past you shouldn't deprive him of critical information from his past," Rias reasoned.

"You and I both know that I have my reasons for what I am doing," Akeno argued.

"Yes, you're right. If you won't get close with him though then I guess that gives me the free pass to take my chance," Rias teased.

"W-what do you mean by that?" Akeno stuttered.

"If you won't make a move on Ise because you are afraid to tell him about the two of your history then that means that I can date him right?" Rias asked.

"No, you can't have him. He is my Ise," Akeno exclaimed.

"Well I am his master. I guess this will just have to be a battle where we see who Ise likes the most then," Rias stated.

After a couple of days had gone by I was starting to feel myself again so I had that chat with Asia. After carefully listening to her story and asking questions anytime I was confused, I finally understood what had happened. "Wait so you are a bishop then? You are a newbie and you got to be a bishop while I am stuck as a lowly pawn?" I whined in disbelief.

"That is true but you have all eight pawn pieces inside of you while I only have the one bishop so you have no room to talk," Asia lectured.

"Yeah yeah, everyone is always saying that being a pawn isn't that bad. The only good benefit I see from it is that I can transform into the other pieces whenever I am in enemy territory," I explained to Asia.

"Now now Ise if the church has taught me anything it is that we need to be grateful for what is given to us," Asia said. "The lord works in mysterious ways so you never know when he is helping you because it usually isn't a direct help. I promise that he is still there though watching over us somewhere. After my pity party ended I decided to make my way to bed again.

The next day at school the club walked into school together and all of the members got affection from all of their adoring fans while I got death stares and threats. Out of the club I was the only one that people hated. All of the guys hated me and all of the girls said that I was blackmailing the club members to do perverted things with me. It was really starting to piss me off that everyone treated me like shit. I didn't do anything wrong so I shouldn't be the one who is yelled at. Every so often I think about ditching the club and walking into school on my own, but then I think back to all of the good times that we used to have. All that I have to do is ignore the terrible people that attend this school, I mean I have enough friends that I don't care about how my classmates feel about me.

The words that I heard from my classmates were nothing to me. I was used to being ridiculed by my classmates and it didn't even bother me anymore. Nothing changed as a few weeks turned into a month and things were just as bad. People still avoided me like the plague and the only people I could be the real me with was the members of the group. At least at home and outside of school things we're definitely much better for me. The girls and Kiba always treated me very well and never made me feel like an outcast which made me very happy. They are the best friends that a guy like me could ask for. Kiba and I trained together everyday so that we could become stronger in order to make Rias proud. We both knew that she deserved our best and neither of us would give anything less than out best.
