Thanks again for all of the support, it really means a lot to me. This chapter will be different from usual, because we won't see Ise's POV at all in this chapter. I feel like writing a bit more right now so this chapter will be longer than my usual chapters.

Asia's POV

I have been living with Ise and his family for the past few weeks since becoming a devil. Everyday is better than the last, his parents treat me like their own daughter. I never knew either of my parents so this is my first time experiencing a parent's love. Hopefully one day they will become my actual parents when I marry Ise. He's different from all of the other guys; he's nice, genuine, and caring. I will always be by his side no matter what.

I made my way to Ise's room to wake him up, which has been my job since moving in. He looks so cute when he sleeps with his nose all scrunched up. I make my way to his room and open the door slowly and make my way into his room. The next task is jumping on his bed to wake him up. Keeping the tradition I jump on his bed, but am left with a surprise. Ise isn't in his bed at all. Where could he be? Maybe he went downstairs to eat breakfast already? That was the only place he could be, so I made my way into the kitchen to look for him. When I walked into the kitchen I saw only his father and mother and became confused. "Do you know where Ise is?" I ask his mom in a concerned tone.

"Oh he didn't tell you? What self absorbed boy. He left about an hour ago and said he was heading to school for an important project," His mom replied with a sigh.

"Oh did he? Okay, then I guess I will see him at school then," I said. I wonder what project he could be doing. It isn't anything that has to do with the club is it?

As I made my way to school I was still pondering what Ise was up to so I pulled out my phone to call him. The phone rang a few times and then the call was picked up. "Ise where are you?" I questioned.

"Asia is that you?" A woman's voice answered. Wait that voice belongs to Ise's mom. Why would she have his phone?

"Ise must have left his phone at home due to the hurry he was in, don't worry about it though you will be able to talk to him at school or later on when you guys come back home. I'll see you then," She reasoned before hanging up. Darn, so I don't know where he went and I can't get into contact with him? Then that means I will have to wait until our class together to talk to him.

After finishing my first few classes I made my way to the class I share with Ise. I could finally talk to him! He wasn't in his seat when I arrived to class. That's weird his class before this is right across the hall so he is always the first one here. The class time passed and he never showed up which started to worry me.

The school day was finally over so I made my way to the club room to see if any of the others had seen Ise. "Now that you mention it, I didn't see him at all today," Koneko testified. "Has anyone else seen him?" Every other member of the club shook their heads. Wait, so that means that none of them have seen him? Could he be hurt?

"Asia why don't you check at home, maybe he became ill and left school early in the day," Rias advised. "I wouldn't worry about anything I'm sure that he is fine and dandy at home right now having perverted thoughts about us girls. That caused everyone to laugh and I cracked a smile. This was just what we needed to lighten the mood.

Listening to Rias's advice I made my way home to see if he was there, which he probably was. I opened the door and marched in the house until I made it to Ise's room. I knocked a few times before entering just to make sure that he was decent. It would be improper of me to enter without letting him know about my presence first. As I made my way into his room I saw that he still wasn't there. All of his stuff was exactly the way it was whenever I saw it in the morning as well so he never came home. I ran down to the kitchen to talk to his parents and let them know.

"Oh Asia there you are," Ise's father noted. "We received a call from a friend of Ise's and apparently he's staying there for tonight, so there's no need to worry. Apparently he fainted on his way to school with his friend so after returning from the hospital they went back to his friends house. His friend said that he would be back at school tomorrow and then he would be coming home after school. Now that that matter is solved let's eat." I wonder who his friend could be that he was staying with. It had to be Motohama or Matsuda. Well if it's one of those two then I'm sure that he's fine.

After supper was over I sent a text to the club members in the group chat letting them know that Ise was with his friend and that he would be back tomorrow. Everyone seemed relieved to hear that. Once that was done I went to bed with one thing on my mind, I can't wait to see Ise again. One day without him is just too much. Little did I know at the time, that would not be the case.

The next day at school Ise still wasn't in our class together and I started to become very worried. I called Matsuda and Motohama over to ask them about Ise. I was not prepared for their answer though. Apparently Ise was supposed to be doing a project yesterday with MM but he never showed up. Neither of them had seen him in the past two days. A million thoughts were running through my mind right now. Who was his friend? Were they lying? Is he really safe? Was the person calling a fallen angel pretending to be his friend? As the school day went on I continued to go through the motions while thinking about this. Once the final bell rang I ran to the club room to talk with the club members.

"So Asia how's Ise? For some reason I haven't seen him yet today," Akeno mentioned in a depressed tone.

"That's just the thing, he isn't at school today either," I started before I was cut off.

"Wait, you said that the pervert would be back today didn't you?" Koneko inquired.

"That is why I was worried. I went to talk to Ise's friends to ask them about which one's house he had stayed at and neither of them had any clue as to what I was talking about. Apparently neither of them have seen him in the past two days," I explained.

"But you said in the group chat that he was with one of them," Kiba countered.

"That's right. That is what the person on the phone told his mom. But if it wasn't either of his friends then who was it?" I thought to myself outloud.

"That means that he is in trouble then!" Akeno exclaimed. "We need to find him and help him!"

"Except how can we find him when he's been missing for almost two days now? We can't access the security cameras around his house because there are none. We also can't talk to the police because they wouldn't be able to handle anything supernatural," Rias uttered in frustration. All of us were out of ideas and becoming more and more concerned for Ise as time passed. The only thing we could think of was all heading over to Ise's house to find out exactly what his mom had heard from the "friend" on the phone.

We used a circle and teleported just outside of Ise's house to save time. I walked in first and explained that the club that I was in was here to help with a project. "Oh, but where is Ise. Shouldn't he be with you?" His mom wondered.

"Well he had to stay back because he missed school yesterday so once he is done with his work he is heading to see Matsuda and Motohama to work on the project," I quickly improvised my answer on the spot. "What I want to know is the exact words of the conversation that you had with Ise's friend. Can you do that?"

"Sure no problem, he told me to record the conversation because it was important so I used my laptop to record the audio of the call, I have to make supper now but you can listen to it if you like," She told me as she walked away and headed toward the kitchen. My patience was running out so I grabbed her laptop and pulled up the file with the audio. I played the audio and everyone listened closely to see if they could find any clues.

"...Oh yeah Ise and I are having a much needed reunion, it's been far too long now. It feels like it has been half a decade since the last time we had a heart to heart….." Akeno made a noise in response to that which made all of the other group members turn towards her. I paused the audio so that we could figure out what was happening.

"No it can't be him! There's no way!" Akeno started yelling.

Rias's face instantly changed to a fearful look once she heard those words, "You don't mean "him" do you?" She was shaking like a kid during a thunderstorm. What was going on?

"It happened five years ago today, that can't be a coincidence. But he's dead, Ise and I watched him die. There's no way that's him," Akeno was muttering in disbelief. I have never seen someone look so scared before in my life. Akeno was a sadist, what could possible scare her this badly? All of a sudden Akeno got up and ran to Ise's room and within a minute she had come back to where we were sitting in the living room. She opened his phone up and after a few moments a cry escaped her mouth. "It's him," that was all she said before she clung to Rias and started sobbing.

"Okay, I'm tired of sitting here in confusion. What the hell is going on right now?" Koneko implored an answer.

"I'll let Akeno tell you once she calms down because you guys will need to know, but Akeno didn't meet Ise on the first day of this semester. The two met seven years ago until something split them up five years ago," Rias told the other members.

"Wait," I interjected. "That guy mentioned something about half a decade could you possibly be saying that…"

"Yes," Rias answered immediately. "He is the one that caused the two of them to go their separate ways and he is also the reason that Ise has no memories of his childhood."

"No memories of his childhood? He would have been 12 at that point, are you telling me that he has no memory before he was 12 years old? There is no way!" Kiba mention while losing his composure.

"Yes," Akeno spoke for the first time since the conversation started. "Even though I knew him for years Ise has no memory of me or anything else from before he turned 12. After the incident happened I moved away with my father and I didn't come back until a few years ago. The fact that Ise would run into me on the first day of school had to be fate. The odds of him staying here and transfering a school that used to be an all girls school and running into me before school on the first day are all feats themselves so for all of those to happen fate must have been trying to reunite us. I thought it was so that we could become close again, but now I'm starting to think it was fate telling us to watch out. It can't be a coincidence that "he" reappeared so soon after we reunited."

"If Ise can't remember anything then what could that guy have told him to get him to meet him? It is not like he would know who the person was," I pointed out.

"In the text he mentioned that he was an old friend from his past and to meet him outside. If you lost your memories and someone said that they were an important part of your past then you would be curious too. Ise's guard was down because someone that he supposedly used to trust wanted to reunite with him and tell him about his past. Ise's parents used to travel all of the time so they weren't able to tell him anything about any of his friends or anything like that. He knew just what bait he needed to gain Ise's trust. The problem is that this person was a psychopath whenever he was only 12 as well there's no telling what he has done to Ise. He might even be…" Akeno's voice cracked at that and she started crying again.

"It's okay, I am sure that Ise is fine. He has always said that he won't die as long as he's a virgin so I'm sure he'll be fine," Rias joked to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, you're right," I agreed. "Ise won't go down without a fight even if his guard is down. And he has a sacred gear now so there's no way a human could hurt him.

"Okay I feel better now. I will tell you a story about the past. It all started seven years ago.." Akeno started.
