Part 1

POV Issei

"Not even a day in town already I find a demon causing mayhem, I can't tell if I have great or bad luck."

["I guess it depends on how you look at it partner."]

Issei couldn't help commenting on the events of this Tuesday night as he walked to his home, the events of this night would send any normal human in a spiral of fear and disillusionment at the presence of a demon, but for the young man it was just another day of his life.

"Going to be honest I would rather find beautiful girls or expensive motorcycles over ugly centaur demons."

["… I don't think my power will bring a "motorcycle" whatever that is, but women are a different story all my past possessors had harems of the opposite sex flock to them."]

"Heh…, if I was younger or if that night never happened that would be the only thing I would focus on, not that I don't like the idea, but I got to make sure this town is safe when i get my shop up and running."

["you don't plan of making enemies of the devils and their servants, do you?"]

Issei shakes his head side to side.

"Not a chance, kicking a hornet's nest when isn't necessary is something I'm not stupid enough to do."

["well you have a survival instinct at that's least good."]

As issei and ddraig bicker back and forth, issei's finally reaches his destination.

Issei realizes he made it to where he needed to be, and… he…

Sigh.

Issei looks at the home and,

he…

feels….

Empty.

"…I'm home."

This is the house that issei had bought but he hadn't called it home for ten years.

["…partner?"]

Ddraig feeling the extreme emotions that his partner is currently going through; the red dragon worries for his partner's wellbeing.

"I'm… fine ddraig, don't worry."

Despite the warm words the tone in issei's voice starts to break.

As issei walks on the path that leads to the two story house, certain… memories start to come flooding back.

("issei dear didn't I tell you to get ready.")

("that's right son remember we're going to go see your grandma.)

("haha, sorry mom and dad.")

As the memory of that day replays in his mind issei breaks down as soon as he opened the door.

'inhale'.

" Sorry…",

Sob

"Mom… and… Dad."

The pain of that day that happened ten years ago still feels fresh in Issei's mind as if it just happened today, the only thing issei does is cry his heart out on the floor by the door frame after his legs gave out until he can't shed a single tear more.

Part 2

Wednesday morning 9:00am

Issei spent the night in the house crying his eyes out due to what happened that night, he failed to notice all that had furniture and items had been already sorted and arranged in the house.

"It doesn't look exactly like how it used to be but… it looks nice."

The interior of the house was a basic, standard furniture the living room with a couch and television, the living room connects to the kitchen due to an open floor design, a small staircase leads to the second story but the only rooms up stairs are Issei's room, two guest rooms and the bathroom, while the first floor has only the master bedroom.

"Welp no use burning daylight I need to find that nun 'Asia Argento' soon."

Issei turns to move out of the house but before he is even a foot from the door, he sees in the corner of his eye the master bedroom door is open from when he was in there last night, with a determined expression on his face issei says only one thing before he leaves

"I won't fail this time. I WILL SAVE HER!"

As issei runs out the door the breeze from the open door blows through out the house, the breeze opens the master bedroom door more, and inside the room, the sole item was visible, the only piece of furniture in there was a funeral shrine that housed two photos of a man and a woman, with a family photo that shows them with a young boy that looks exactly like issei.

Mid-day 12:30pm

"So, there are at least three crows in town, but I don't know how many servants they have it might be an actual problem."

as issei walks through the park, after he staked out the church issei could feel the presence of three fallen angels.

"Why would the crows set up shop in devil territory, are they staging a coup against them or is it the beginning of an attack?"

Issei shakes his head left to right to clear his mind.

"don't know, don't care, if the crows plan to use that nun or plan to harm innocent people, ill pluck their feathers… no wait ill ring their necks like chickens… NO DAMMIT that sucks too, ah no… maybe… ill… deep… fry… them… OH FUCK IT! I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING CLEVER!"

As issei contemplates a one liner he hears his work phone go off.

{ring, ring, rin...}

Issei answers it with as much enthusiasm as he can muster right now.

"Talk."

With admittedly isn't very much.

{"hello to you too crimson."}

"Oh, hey Burōka, anything new."

{"got some news on that nun, she boarded a train headed to kuoh she'll be in town tomorrow."}

"that's good kuoh town is not how I remember it, too many crows have migrated here amid the two families of bats."

The news shocks issei's info broker

{"two devils fams… shit... will you be, okay?"}

Issei with his usual swagger could only reply with.

"Heh, are you kidding me?"

{"right… stupid question, take care of yourself kid everyone at the city's temple is worried about you."}

"Tell them not to worry, I didn't spend a decade to be promoted to knight for nothing."

{"yeah, yeah, whatever you say knight-boy, ill call you again if anything new comes up, be sure to clip those crow's wings."}

{CLICK}

After the line had been disconnected, issei became royally pissed.

"…SHIT, that was perfect, why didn't I think of it?"

issei didn't have time to dwell on the obviously better one-liner because a cutesy voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Ah…, excuse me?"

Issei turns around and his eyes land on one of the most beautiful women anyone has seen, she had long black hair that reached down her back, wearing a pink blouse with a black skirt, but the most interesting part of this woman was her violet eyes.

"My name is Yuuma Amano; I was hoping you could help me."

"Whoa."

Issei couldn't help marveling at the girl, she was beautiful, she had this gentle look to herself that brought feelings of kindness and warmth that men would want to hold, protect and treasure for their entire life.

The only problem was…

["partner… she is a…"]

"Fallen angel, I know."

It was a complete lie.

The hidden fallen angel before issei, came to him not as enemy combatant but she came in a cloud of deception that every normal human man would truly fall for, but issei wasn't a normal human.

"What do you need help with little lady?"

Yuuma smiles sweetly at issei's comment

"Ufufuf, I heard you say you're from this town, I just arrived here last week and I'm unfamiliar with the town's layout I was hoping you could show me around."

"…Really?"

Issei couldn't help but find the absurdity of her plan to be far beyond the scope of stupid, but he decided to go along with it.

"Are you sure you want my help, don't you have anyone you know in town?"

Yuuma shakes her head side to side.

"No, I don't know anyone here, but I've seen you before, you came out of that old store that's by my grandma's restaurant."

"Nice, reeeaaalllll… original."

"Oh, you're a neighbor I don't think I've seen a restaurant near my shop."

"Yeah, it's a small ramen house, there's not a lot of markings or decorations to show its open so it's kind of hidden."

"Huh, it's still stupid but at least now it's more believable."

"Ramen shop huh, I'll need to check it out… but that's for later, if your fine ill show the spots around town, my name is issei hyoudou."

Yuuma quickly nods her head in agreement.

"Yes, thank you Issei-Kun."

"Heh, no problem Yuuma-Chan, for starter how about we go to…."

As issei was telling Yuuma about the wonders of kuoh town, from the aquarium, stores, arcades, and sites to see, a young white-haired girl was watching him from afar behind a tree, immediately noticing the truth of Yuuma.

The amount of interesting date activities "excites" Yuuma, given the high and happy tone of her voice.

"Wow, Issei-Kun this town sounds awesome, I really want to get some new clothes for the weekends."

"Clothes shopping it is then I think there is a shop down the road that way."

"Yay lets go Issei-Kun."

Yuuma grabs issei by the arm and leads him to the direction he just pointed in.

As the young "couple" heads into town, the white-haired girl watches in interest of the development, knowing that she needs to report this to her master.

Part 3

late-Afternoon 6:30

Issei is spent both in the sense that he is tired and spent more money he was comfortable with due to the fact he just spent his food budget for the next two weeks.

"I royally wish that there was a less expensive means of gaining the trust of the fallen angel girl, because if I don't return these clothes within the month, I'm going to be eating cup ramen for the next two weeks."

The hidden fallen angel girl had spent about 76969.75 yen [550 dollars], with royally did not sit well with the tight budget demon hunter.

"Issei-Kun what do you think we should go next, the arcade or get food, oh we definitely have to try that Taiyaki stand down the road."

Yuuma tries to pull issei along who is holding a very large number of shopping bags towards the stand.

"Hey yuuma-chan I just need a minute, here takes this, and get me a chocolate and get whatever you want.

Issei hands Yuuma a thousand-yen bill, Yuuma cutely pouts.

'humph'

"Fine Mr. lazybones."

Though she tries to come off as mad the tone of her voice is very cute.

"She is trying way too hard to be cute its almost hilarious if it wasn't suspicious."

Issei didn't not have long to internally comment on the performance of the fallen angel, due to a light tap on his shoulder.

"Huh?"

Issei turns around and his eyes meets a beautiful brown-haired woman in a red dress with a white skirt, the most interesting design of her clothes was the black shoulder wings and the back had bat wings that match the woman's hair.

"Oh, hello did you need something ma'am?"

The woman says nothing and only hands issei a brown filer with black symbols and writing, issei looks down at the flier not recognizing the symbol but knowing the purpose of the flier.

"a devil flier, I don't recognized the symbol but I know its one the 72 families, definitely one the peerages in town."

"Hey who…?"

Before issei could get clarification, the woman was gone without a sound.

"Yeah. I figured that might happen."

Issei deadpanned.

"Hey issei-Kun."

Yuuma returns to issei with a chocolate Taiyaki pastry with herself getting a custard filled one.

"Thank you yuuma-chan is there another place you want to go to?"

Yuuma nods her head.

"Yes, there is a park nearby I want to go to on the other side of town, I want to share something with you issei-Kun."

"Ok normally I be in heaven if a beautiful girl said that to me, but I got a bad feeling about all this."

Part 4

Night 8:00pm

Night had fallen on the town, children are being put to bed for school, teenagers are finishing homework that is due tomorrow, adults are dreading having to go into work, but on this night two youths are wandering through the kuoh park, the young "couple" makes it to the center of the park with a fountain being the "heart" of the park, with no other souls around the lone park could be a place of romantic intentions, young love could bloom, long time friends finding how much the other truly means to them or long time couple's finally sealing their relationship in a marriage proposal.

But on this night, I am unsure what might happen.

Issei and Yuuma walk through the darkened park with Yuuma holding on to issei's coat sleeve with her head on his shoulder, while issei hold the bags from the shopping spree in his other hand.

"Issei-Kun this has been on the best dates I have ever been on, - I'm glad I ran into you today."

"I can't tell if I'm more annoyed or pissed off right now."

"Huh – this was a date?

Yuuma face blushes and she turns away from issei, so he is facing her back.

"Issei… I when I first noticed you… I… felt… something."

"yeah, I felt something too, but It wasn't good."

"I admit… I… felt… something when I meet first you too Yuuma-chan.

"…Issei, there is something I wanted to ask you."

In this very moment issei mind was a buzz both his optimism and pessimism where he wanted to believe that Yuuma truly wanted to extend her hand in friendship, wanted to try to help him, or possibly yuuma wanted to be… more, but the other side of his mind believed that this was a ploy.

"Would you die for me?"

"…. I knew it."

The other side of his mind was right.

"…Yuuma-san, I'm sorry what… did you say?"

Yuuma turns to face Issei, her face is one of pure sweetness with a kind and caring smile, but the words she said are…

"I said, would… you… die for me?"

As the ice-cold words left her mouth, a pair of black wings burst out of Yuuma's back and she flew ten feet off the ground.

"It was fun, this day was like playing house with a snot nosed brat."

Her tone was one of pure cold contempt when the black winged angel starts to smile but gone is the one of warmth and kindness she wore mere minutes ago, her smile is like that of a heartless monster.

BUZZ.

In her hand Yuuma summons a spear of pure light in her hands that buzzes like static on a television but far louder.

"I've played around with you far more than I would have liked, you thinking that I truly wanted to spend any time with you, a pathetic worm who only value is your sacred gear that god placed in you."

The tone of Yuuma was one of pure cold hatred.

"…. Scared gear?"

Issei's confused question sparks a sense of malicious pleasure in the fallen angel.

"HAHAHAHA! – oh I guess you didn't know, oh well not like you could make anything of yourself anyway ill just end you here."

Yuuma holds her hand forward towards issei.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! – your existence is a threat to us so I'm taking you out, you have no to blame but god for putting that gear in you – HAHAHAHAHA!"

Yuuma launches the spear at issei.

Any normal human would not be able to stop let alone react to a fallen angel's light spear, it could shred low level devils to ribbons and instant kill humans.

CATCH.

But issei wasn't a normal human at all.

With his free hand issei catches the light spear right above his stomach as if it was a toy.

"HAHAH…haha…huh?"

The psychotic laugh of the fallen angel goes dead in her throat, not believing what she is currently seeing.

With a cocky smirk and tone, issei shows his face to Yuuma.

"Hey crow-brains throws as many these light toothpicks at me you want but leave the merchandise alone, I only have a month to return this shit."

Yuuma is floored seeing a human not only catching and holding her light spear in his hand like it was nothing, making insults and jokes about it.

"What the hell?"

Issei drops the shopping bags on the ground and grabs the spear with both hands.

"You know if I was being shot at by one of the higher ups of the Grigori I would dodge it in a heartbeat with no second thought, but one puny light spear being shot by a baby crow like you who is probably just hatched…."

SNAP!

Issei breaks the light spear by bending it like a stick, still holding that same mocking tone and smirk.

"Is not worth the effort."

Yuuma's shock quickly gets replaced by pure anger.

"GRRRRR! – WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"

She quickly summons three more spears and shoots all of them at once at issei.

"My name is Issei and…"

SMASH.

He swipes the back of his hand as the spears nearly hit him destroying all three at once.

"I'm a fallen angel hunter."

The look of cold sadistic pleasure that Yuuma had is now replaced by absolute shock and fear at what she just witnessed.

"a… fallen hunter… no… impossible."

Yuuma tries to flap her wings to escape the field she secretly created to keep people away from the park's fountain.

But before she could move an inch higher Yuuma's feet were grabbed.

"Wow, you're going to leave without saying goodnight first, kind of rude on a first date you know."

She looks down and sees issei holding on to her boots.

"WHAT THE…?"

Before she could finish her sentence, issei pulled her down with an incredible amount of force that caused the concrete slabs of the park's sidewalk.

As Yuuma laid on her back in a small crater in absolute pain, she is more pissed off than confused.

"FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU!"

Yuuma manages to sit up, from the pain and shock of the event that just transpired she is enraged, but issei stands beside her in nonchalantly looking down on her both physically and emotionally.

"Ok first you wore yellow? and second I told you I'm a fallen angel hunter but… well sometimes… like right now, but enough of that."

Issei bends his knees and looks the fallen angel in the eyes, with the first serious look he's given her this entire fight.

"now, I'm going to ask you a single question, and you, will, answer, honestly."

Gulp.

Yuuma shallows her spit in fear of issei's tone.

"are you the ones who took the exiled nun Asia Argento?

Yuuma's eyes bulge briefly giving away the truth.

"… no, I don't know who that is."

Issei shakes his head left to right while clicking his tongue.

"You are a bad liar, now are you working with the devil's in town.

Yuuma nods her head up and down.

"YES! The devils have the girl, I can take you to them, their base is out of kuoh academy."

"I can hear her heart racing, she is still lying, but… kuoh academy huh? – I might need to check out the place out."

As issei finishes his interrogation of the fallen angel, the flier he was given earlier unknowingly falls out his pocket and lands on the ground.

as soon as the flier hit the ground a brilliant crimson light blinds both issei and yuuma, issei having to use his arm as a light guard, fails to see yuuma, with her seeing this as a golden opportunity, manages to get on her feet and fly as fast as she can away from the park and the "human" that took everything she threw at him.

"so you were the one who called me?

The light died down and issei could see the woman standing there and the first thing that came to his mind was.

"crimson… wow… so… beautiful."

the woman that now stands before issei is a young blue eyed beautiful woman with a rather curvaceous body with large breasts, a slender waist and long beautiful legs, but the part of this beautiful woman that stands out the most is her hair, it is a shade of red more dark that strawberry blonde, It matches the crimson color of blood it is so radiant.

"Nice to meet you Issei-San my name is Rias Gremory, can I call you ise-kun?"

Part 4.5

Night 8:40pm

POV Raynare

The fallen angel Yuuma who true name is Raynare managed to make it back to her quarters in kuoh town, an abandoned church that houses her, her fallen angel comrades and their servants.

Raynare is trying to piece together all that just happened in the past hours, the human she thought was an untrained brat was really a fallen angel hunter, she was so embarrassed by her loss she could try to contact her lord Azazel he would remove her from town and her plans would be in ruin.

She keeps thinking back about issei and how he fought her without using his gear, it wasn't possible for a mere human regardless of their training to be that powerful against a fallen angel, she heads to her door to leave to tell her friends about what issei truly is and discuss what they plan to do next know issei is on to them about the nun Asia Argento.

But before she leaves a single sentence issei said is clawing at her mind due to the strangeness of the comment.

{"Ok first you wore yellow? and second I told you I'm a fallen angel hunter but… well sometimes… like right now, but enough of that."}

"you wore yellow?"

Raynare looks at a mirror in her room, floored by the comment since the "date" outfit she still has on is a purple dress with a black skirt, she didn't have anything yellow on her.

Raynare continues to question this until.

She figures it out.

She grabs the front of her skirt to check what is underneath it and…

"IM GOING TO KILL THAT BASTARD!"

Raynare makes a declaration of war holding up her skirt exposing her yellow panties.
