Chapter 3: F### Mondays.
" Why?" Issei said plainly to the girl in front of him. He looked directly into her eyes as they widen in shock. He grabbed her glowing hand that was centimeters from piercing his neck in a vice grip. Rayneare vigorously tried to pull away from him with no advil, it was like a steel clamp shut itself around her wrist.
" I could've sworn that your superiors wanted me alive. I know for a fact Azazel didn't approve of this." Issei stated while he stared down at the girl in his grip. She stopped resisting for a second stunned at the knowledge that he knew about her.
" How... how long did you know?" Rayneare questioned. She was a spy for her leader for years able to infiltrate the hardest of places without a problem. Now she was supposed to be undercover to find out about this human...which she beginning to question if he is…. Her cover was blown.
" What that you was a fallen? Since the day you stepped foot on campus. The moment you approached me about a date I confirmed that you were up to something." Issei answered his other hand slipped out of his pocket in a slow manner. " My question is who put the hit out on me? Barq? Shik? I know the blonde bastard loves my work so that leaves ...Kokabiel."
Rayneare said nothing as she gathered light energy into her hand to make a knife and swiped towards the brown haired boy's face. Just as her arm began the swiping motion she suddenly found herself airborne. She took a second to process that Issei thrown her above his head and another second to process that his foot is heading to her sternum. Issei delivered an inverted blade kick right into the chest of the fallen that sent her into the park fountain.
" You don't have to say a word. I just gonna beat you up a little then turn you over to your head boss." Issei cracked his knuckles and waited till he saw the angel come out the fountain. Rayneare rose from the fountain in her true form . A pair of Ebony wings erupted from her back she was now wearing what appears to be something fresh from a Bondage magazine. A one piece of leather that covered her groin and went over breast. She wore shoulder pad high leather boots that stopped at the knee.
" YOU LOWLY FILTHY HAIRLESS APE. YOU DARE LAY HANDS ON A HIGHER BEING SUCH AS MYSELF!" Yeah she was pissed Issei thought. As she hovered a few feet off the ground he took time to assets he predicament. "One low rank fallen angel. No civil considerations. No other enemies in the area yet, the nearest one is a few kilometers in and closing. I don't need to charge up I can handle this quickly without Ddraig."
As he finished assessment Rayneer wasn't Idol she charged up a lightspear and chucked it at him. Issei sidestepped and let the projectile fly by him, he began to run towards the more wooded area of the park where they had tall trees.
" Oh, trying to run from me Issei-kun. Go right ahead make this more fun for me." She followed easy with her flight ability used to her full advantage. She eyed Issei moving in a straight line she prepared a spear and threw it at him. Just as the spear was about to hit center mass Issei jumped to the side inside a dense shrub. The fallen spy cursed as she hovered using her enhanced vision to spot out her mark. After a few seconds she raised both her hands and dozens of light orbs was conjured up only firing one randomly into the sky. She swung her arms down and bombarded the area hoping to bring Issei out from hiding or better yet incapacitate him.
She continues her scan of the area trying to pick a trail up until the r hairs stood up on her neck. She looks up too late to see the brunette was right above her, with an axe kick to the shoulder blade that brought her down to the ground. HARD. She rocketed to the ground hitting so hard she bounced off it and stopped. She slowly raised herself to sit up position only to lose sight of her opponent again. She was about to throw herself up when she found a leather strap around her neck that wasn't her choker. Issei tighten his belt that was looped around her neck and placed it around his leg then behind the back of the dark angel effectively choking her.
" I'm going to start asking you questions now, only nod your head to answer." He looked down the trashing Rayneer clawing away at the tough piece of leather that robbing away her air. "I will sense the moment you'll try to build light energy to cut the me or the belt, but I swear I will break your neck before you manage to conjure something." Issei said in an ice cold tone.
" What does Kokabile want with me? A contract? An assassin? The location of the sword?" He noticed Rayneer said or did nothing in the series of questions but looked at him in content. He added more torque to his belt and choked the angel harder turning her a little more blue. " You do understand that I can make this a painful as possible I advise you to start talking." He was so focused on getting his answers that her back up had entered the area faster the he anticipated. He looked up and had to jump away from a blue spear of light that was thrown his way.
" Wow Rayneer can't even knock out and grab a single human...You do know that i'm not gonna let you live this one down." A gruff voice said from the air while he was decendending from the air. He landed next to Rayneer who was breathing heavy getting her lung back to work after being choked. The man was was deck down in a grey trench coat ,black slacks and black dress shoes His fedora that covered messy black hair was currently was angled downward preventing Issei to see his facial features. The one beady eye that Issei could say was bearing down at him in contempt.
He steadied into a ready stance about to engage Issei when tug on his coat stopping him. " We have to leave the devils had entered my boundary field we have to withdraw for now." With that she levitated off the ground she stopped and gave a head glare to Issei. " HEAR ME HUMAN, YOU MAY HAVE SURVIVED TONIGHT BUT WE WILL COME FOR YOU!." With that her and the other angel flown up and disappeared in a shower of black feathers. Issei looked at the last spot he seen the two and waited in case of a follow up attack, but after a minute it was apparent that they left. He felt the boundary field drop and turned around to go home and plan. His get away was stopped when he saw Rias and Sona standing ten feet behind him. He looked towards the two girls with a raised eyebrow as they give him a curious look over.
" How long was you guys around?" Issei ask in bored tone. He crossed his arms while giving them a bored look. That was a guise to let his senses expand to make sure these two where the only one here. He really didn't want the trouble of fighting two devil groups.
"Just now. You might have some questions about what you just saw." Rias said with a coy smile and a hand on her hip. Sona was more reserved ready doing the mental gymnastics reevaluating what they knew about Hyoudou Issei.
" And you didn't step in because? You know I could've gotten seriously hurt you know?" Issei stated. He was beginning to get suspicious of the two right away. There was no way that knew that he could fight a higher being. This reeks of a set up.
" You seem like a tough guy, we was going to intervene until we saw you kick her from the air...thirty meters from the ground." Rias said her smile never leaving her face.
" Hyoudou-san we invite you to the occult research club Monday after class. It's obvious that you might have a question that we can answer. OR. It the other way around." Sona finally made herself speak.
" You're right I guess another time to chit chat will do." Issei said while he turned to leave. He kept walking while on high alert to incase that the two devils attacked him. Now he had something to check on. Once the two girls seen him leave they said nothing and disappeared in a magic circle. They had a lot to prepare for Monday.
ABANDONED CHURCH: FALLEN ANGEL HQ.
" Well that was a fucking bust. Rayneer what happened?" I saw you distressed signal and I thought I found you getting field integrated by the mark. What the hell happened?" Dohnaseek asked as they walked into the lower chambers of the church.
He knew for a fact that the boy was an unknown. They tried to look into him by scanning through numerous records to get an idea of who he is. The greatest red flag to him is that they couldn't find anything on him. Absolutely nothing other than his birth certificate and news articles. That was it. No doctors appointments passed the age of six. No dental records. Or elementary to middle school transcript. The boy was a ghost to the eyes of socisity passed the age of six.
" He put up way more resistance than i thought I severely underestimated his capabilities. I thought he was ignorant of the moon lit world. Until he named dropped the Cadre even gave some of them even name dropped him." Rayneer replied as she stepped into her private corritors, her and Dohnaseek decided not tell the others about what happened. Millate would do something stupid and Kal would follow. She can't believe that she failed so miserably, she needed a plan because next month is the deadline or it's their ass.
" We know where the boy lives. If we go right now we still take advantage of the full moon and do the extraction ritual." The tall man suggested. He wasn't like the others when comes to the gentle touch of the spy game. He was more of a kick in doors and kill everything that moves kind of guy,
" As much as like to, God knows that I want to, but it's too late. The devils knows that we are interested in him they will have him underwatch. Also we still don't know what gear he has depending on that we will have to adjust the ritual so it's gonna take days to prepare and days more if he had awaken it already." Rayneer reasoned. She needs a solution now and she need it fast. If only if that stupid boy went down without a fight. "Only if I had taken him down while I was at his house this would of been easy. The stupid knuckle dragging low brow jackass should of been easy pickings. Hell I can just snatch his gear easily as long as it wasn't a Longinus. I don't even need that calibur of sacred gear to ascend. Any damn gear would…" And suddenly she had a wonderful idea.
" Dohnaseek. Where is the sister? " Rayneered said as she sat on her satin sheet covered bed. She took off her boots, shoulder pads and choker. Dohnaseek cringed as he saw the large purple spot that indicated that her shoulder was indead broken at one point. Thanks to the natural regenerative abilities is beginning to mend. Albeit slowly but in the morning it will be good as new.
" She is the next town over with that creep Freed." The fedora warring man replied. " Notify them to come here, Im shifting our plans around just a bit." The older looking man gave a nod in understanding and left the room. The purple eyed girl stripped down naked. She looked to her left where there was a mirror on her night stand. She eyed the red angry looking welts that was left by Issei's belt. She touched them lightly and begin to trace around them. She laid back on her bed not even getting under the sheets as she stared at the ceiling, concentrating on the feeling of being choked and utterly dominated by her mark,.
" Oh Issei-kun. Didn't know you could be so rough" She said to herself. She would be lying if the feeling didn't arouse her. She snaked her hand down her stomach towards her core. When she was there she stop to remember those green eyes that was looking down at her. Those cold dead jade eyes. The eyes of a killer. Then she plunged her fingers into her box.
Monday
Yeah when the first day of the school day came around. Issei was less than thrilled even thought about just skipping school all together and head towards the dojo. He really got check on how the old man is doing. Seeing as he promised Kato and himself that he would at least try to give a damn about his education he decided to go. The first half of the day went by uneventful he didn't even bother to ask around about "Yuma" he knew that the girl would slip from the memories of the unexposed. He found himself wandering the hallways again thinking about what's the next move. He text Azazel over the weekend and still haven't gotten a reply yet. What the hell was the man doing that he can't contact him when a politically sensitive thing is going on. His people attacked him unprovocted in the middle of devil territory. Not only that they were the sisters of the Satans and that enough can cause a shit storm.
He is lucky that the only person that knows that he is this generation's Red Dragon Emperor is Azazel only. He knows that the devils think he has some sacred gear. He assuming twice critical. He also can guess that the meeting will be a recruitment pitch. Just to avoid any scrutiny by them he will entertain them and go. He was so lost in his thoughts that he nearly ran into a girl. Stopping short of running her over.
" Sorry I wasn't paying attention." Issei spit off. He seemed to have surprised the girl when she came around the corner.
" It's okay. In fact your the person I came to see." The girl replied.
Issei stopped and took in the girl in front of him. She was beautiful, She had long raven black hair that was tied into a ponytail with a red bow. She had very soft purple eyes that had the look a mischief in them. Her plentiful curves shown nicely through the school uniform that showed a great bust size. In essence she seems like she was ripped from the fantasies of japaness men.
" Oh? What for?" Issei inquired .
" I'm here to remind to remind you of your appointment with Rias at the old school building." Would you like me to take you?" She said while tilting her head smiling with her eyes closed. That very same smile on that face looked really familiar for some reason. He seen her before just can't say.
" Hey I know you." The brunette blurt out. He didn't know why he did that but he just did.
" Oh how so Issei-kun?." The black haired girl replied with a sparkle of something in her eyes...Hope maybe?
" Yeah your Akeno. You know you are the topic of discussion around lunch table due your popularity."
Akeno eyes sadden all of the sudden it appears that was the answer that she did not want at all.
" Oh...yeah I am." She turned around and walked out towards our destination.
" What the fuck was that?" Issei asked himself. He followed her towards the school building without any more words. They arrived at their destination and stood in front of plain mahogany wooden door. The two walked in a was greeted with the sight of a victoria era styled room that had red and black highlights. From the lavish furniture to the oak desk yells wealth. He looked on the couches and saw the " Prince " of Kuoh academy himself drinking tea. Across from him was small petite girl with with snow white hair. She was pale skinned and quite the doll looking thing in her uniform. That was Koneko "the mascot" Toujou. She was munching on snacks delengatly.
" Go ahead and have a seat, Rias will join us shortly." Akeno said while she head towards the back. Issei sat down and scan his eyes across the room, He took note of every possible choke point, possible escape routes, or places he can improvise a counter attack that will get him away from this room.
He sat in silence until he noticed three people enter the room. Akeno followed by Rias and surprisingly Sona. Great that means he has to fight a little harder to get out if things turn FUBAR. They all sat to the opposite side of the table facing him, he saw the snow white haired girl get up and join them on the other side.
" What?" Issei asked all the sudden.
" Excused me?" The red haired princess asked.
" What do you guys want? I have a lot to do today and you should be thankful I even came to school much less here." Issei replied. His rude comments made both Kiba and Sona give him a mild glare. But Rias giggled a little bit.
" Well thank you for coming here today Issei-kun. Allow me to formally introduce myself my name is Rias Gremory. I am devil" Rias then went into full detail about a brief overview of the supernatural, from the war within the christan factions and what the fallen angels were. She spent ten minutes tell Issei stuff that he knows from the jump. Hell he even knew pretty much everything about the two heiress. From the family history to how the perrages system works and who was the current members in their group. He played ignorance to it the best he could. Knowledge is power after all, he even had contingencies in place to take them out if necessary. It mostly revolves around a couple remote controlled 81 mm mortars at home that was trained on the school. For rounds he had pressurized holy water that will blanket the area in a devil burning even had mixed it with pure angel blood for maximum effect.
What? What mercenary worth his salt would go to school with another possible hostile power without a backup plan? That's just not smart. How ever he fiend ignorance he couldn't resist an eyeroll at something she explained that he cursed himself when he saw Sona eyes narrow. Damned four eyed know it all. Rias then pulled out a chess board that had glowing red pieces on them. It had a knight, all eight pawns, a single rook and one bishop on them.
Oh hell no.
" So Issei-kun, why don't you join my peerage?" Rias asked with a hopeful smile,
" Okay I heard enough." Issei said while he stood up. He turned towards the door and begin to walk towards it.
" Wait are you rejecting my offer." Rias asked in a tone that sounds slightly offended.
" You"re asking to give up my life, my humanity for someone who I just now really met. And Who's race I just got introduced to?"
" Think about it Issei-kun, think about what could be in your grasp. Wealth, power beyond your imagination, Longevity you will never grow old for a long long time. If everything goes right you might even can have me." The red head devil batted her lashes at Issei than he got hit with a wave of a sweet aroma.
" It can't be too bad right? Think about it. You will be an immortal going throughout enterility fulfilling contracts." Issei thoughts was flooding with possibilities. " I would be awesome kicking ass forever. The money that will come to buy resources that you need for your goal , the clientele that can provide information on that man. All can be yours if you become this girls sla…"
Red hot rage cut through Issei killing that train of thought. He look at Rias with nothing but anger displayed on face. He was so angry that his gauntlet almost surfaced. The look alone got everyone up out of their seat in defence of a possible attack. Rias looked the most alarmed out of all. Issei eyes let out almost chilling glow, it was faint and could be mistaken as a trick of the light. It took him a couple seconds to to get his anger under control.
" This is over. For the sake and safety of your group take this warning to heart. DON'T EVER TRY THAT AGAIN!" Issei then stormed out of the room looking back at the group they all seems stun. Excepted for Akeno who look at him with a sad expression. Kiba got up to stop him but Rias but shook her head to him.
" Well that went well. What do scent did you pick up from him Koneko?" Rias asked.
" I...I couldn't smell anything." The girl replied flatly.
" Really no gear or anything at all." Kiba asked with a raised brow.
" No literally nothing. It if I went by my sense of smell alone I wouldn't have known that it was a person on the couch. It really weird."
" Intrestining. Hey you guys mind stepping out of the room for a second at let me and Sona talk for a second?" Rias asked her group. They all left the room for the two Kings to talk.
" I...I messed up big time didn't I?" Rias asked in a low voice while she had a very defeated look on face. She thought she had him, she honestly tried selling it to him. Emphasising that her family treats their servants like family. Hell her brother married his queen not out of dominance but out of pure love. She really jump the...She pointed the gun towards her foot a shot the magazine dry.
" Yes. Yes you did. If you gave him a little more time and let him build trust he might have changed his mind. He had valid points, he didn't know or acted like he didn't know what we are just until today." Sona replied as honestly as she could. What Rias did pretty much moved him away from them by a long shot.
" I told you Sona I need him." Rias reasoned. She knew trying to use her alore to bring out his desires and influence his mind was wrong. She felt terrible and kind of relieved that he still said no. It now brings the question who exactly is he? All devil had the ability to use Alore it a way for them to bring the desires out of people. It was an easier way to seal contracts and the stronger the devil the stronger the influence it has. Creatures with a small sense of magic can resist it to disrupt the effects. Usually they have to be on the same level as the castor or aware of the Alore.
The problem was she was High Class Devil...Issei was supposed to be human. In all reality he was supposed to be puddy to her wilms but not only did he resist he completely broke the hold.
" We don't even know what gear he has if he has one, you are risking your future on a hail mary that could blow up in your face. Riser isn't gonna wait forever so you need to prepare your peerage today." Sona reasoned.
Rias said nothing but looked through the windows outside. " You're right Sona i need to start preparing. But I just know that Issei will be the ticket to for my freedom." Rias thought to herself.
DOWNTOWN
Issei quickly left the school yard not caring if class was in session or not. He had to get away from them so he wont do anything he can't fix. He walked away as far as he could as fast as he could. It didn't matter where. He was so angry in the moment he thought about turning that entire building into a crater. That wouldn't be good for him at all. If he killed everyone in that room, the wrath of the devil faction would be on him. They will chase him to the ends of creation and he knew the Sirzechs wouldn't stop looking for him. The Crimson Satan wouldn't care if what he did was justified or not his rage will blind him so.
Rather provoke the rage of one of the two super devils he let it slide. That's a fight he's not ready for...yet. So downtown to chill out for an hour or two was the best move for him. He was rounding a corner to knock down another girl today.
" Stupid muscles." Issei thought to himself. " Sorry for that."
" Ouch danmitt stupid jerk needs to pay attention." " You fine it okay." The girl replied in shakey Japaness. Issei heard the first thing that came out of her mouth. And was surprised to hear Italian.
" Jee Im said im sorry no need for to be an ass about it." Issei said in Itallian surprising the girl. Who was still on the ground
" You speak Itallian?" The girl asked.
" Yeah no shit didn't you just hear it ." The brunette replied.
" Well it was a simple question asshole just answer it."The girl got up and Issei got a good look at her. She was a pretty girl...in a retro punk style way. She stood a head below Issei, her blonde hair was once long as Issei could tell was cut short about the neck with her sides cut down in a slight buzz. She had sunglasses on so he couldn't see her eyes. His eyes went down from her spiked choker that reminded him of someone. She was donned in a white t-shirt that was cut off exposing her stomach and a short black leather jacket and shorter red and black flannel skirt. She had high heeled boots that came up from her knees. One distinguishing figure is the silver small cross hanging from her neck.
They got in each others face about to start another round of insults when a child's cry cut through it. She stops and look a him and walks towards the kid. The kid was crying holding his knee in pain. It was slightly bleeding but the kid acted like it was the worst pain ever.
'``well any normal kid would cry. Cause I was going through hellish training kind of put me out of touch with reality." Issei thought to himself.
" Stay still boy it not hurt i fix it." The girl said again in her broken Japanese. Her hand than glowed green over the little boys knee and his face became more calm and soothed." Okay small laceration, no damage to the tendon, no damage the joint. Easy peasy." The strange girl said to herself. In a flash the boy knee scrap was gone. Like nothing happened. He got up and said his thanks. Issei stood there throughout the whole ordeal.
" Hey." Issei called out to the girl. She turned towards him expecting to pick up where they left off.
" Would you like to get some food. If your not busy. I could use the company." Issei said while pointing towards the burger shack.
" Are you buying? The money I did bring hasn't been converted yet." She inquired with a hand on her hip.
" Sure. But you paying me back."
" Do you always charge your dates. Wow men of this country really know how to show a girl a good time."
" Who said it was a date. I don't even got your name yet. Do women of your country always accept lunch date with guy they just meet? "
" No, but I do when the guys buying and kind of cute...even though he is a complete and utter asshole."
" You don't even know my name and you calling me an asshole. Im Issei. Issei Hyoudou."
" Asia Argento...nice to meet you asshole Issei." With that she took off her glasses , revealing green eyes that was complemented by black eyeliner. She walked toward the restaurant doors she planted a kiss on Issei's cheek. She walked with a sway to her nice hips. She was half way there when she looks back to a dumbfounded Issei.
" You coming?" She called back with a wink. Issei shook his head and following her. Not knowing that this will lead to a slippery slope of events to come.
