A/N Thanks for the reviews and views on the last chapter, I was surprised about how well people took the darker tone on the last chapter compared to the others. I wanted to create this arc in particular to one of the saddest and darkest in the story as it hits many of the characters where it hurts. The church will also be further explored in this chapter as the other two biblical factions will be explored. It still amazes me that this story has reached double digits in terms of chapters and is over 50,000 thousand words.

Sorry for the late chapter I have been sick this week with a massive headache and vomiting and have been unable to write this chapter.

So without further a due lets begin chapter ten

"Hello Issei it's been a while hasn't" A feminine voice said from under the white robe.

"Um do I know you" Issei said as he pulled Asia behind him keeping her safe from any harm.

"So you don't recognise me, It's me" The girls said as she pulled her hood of her head revealing her face continuing to pouted.

"Irina" Issei said as he hugged the girl in excitement causing her to blush as him to wince at the feeling of the cross around her neck.

As the two parted Issei began to look at the girl in front of him. Her chestnut coloured hair was much longer than he remembered and was now kept in two large pigtails. The white robe that she wore covered the majority of her body, however Issei could tell that she had developed into a an attractive young woman but how much Issei was unsure.

"What brings you to my house" Issei said as he looked at Irina.

"We came to speak to you" She replied as she look towards her partner causing Issei to smile towards the girl.

"Come in" Issei said as the four teenagers entered the house.

As Issei lead the church members, Asia proceeded into the kitchen to make some tea. Leading Irina and her ally into the lounge room, where Issei sat across from them Issei and Irina began to speak about their past eleven years apart.

"So what brings you back home Irina" Issei said as he looked towards his childhood friend.

"We have been sent by the church to talk the devil in charge of Kuoh" Irina said as Asia handed her a tea which she accepted.

As Asia handed the tea to Issei she looked towards the other member of the church.

"Would you like some tea" Asia said looking toward the other member of the as she began to pass another cup of tea,

"No I'd rather not take something from a devil" Th girl said coldly shocking Asia.

"Oh, Ok Issei is it ok if I have a bath and go to bed" Asia said as she looked towards Issei.

"Yeah, its ok thank you for the tea" Issei said as Asia began to walk upstairs.

Leaving Issei's sight, Asia disappeared into the darkness that surrounded the top of the stairs. Turning back around facing the girls Issei began to notice the serious look on Irina's friends face.

"I'm sorry I don't think I introduced myself, I'm Issei Hyoudou, but my real name is Issei Buer" Issei said as he looked toward the girl with the serious face.

"My name is Xenovia Quarta , I don't mean t be rude but I don't want to be in the house of a devil any longer than I have to be" Xenovia said coldly looking towards Issei.

"Oh, so what brings you here then" Issei said shocked.

"Like Irina said we are here to talk to the leader of Kuoh so we came to your house" Xenovia said said looking towards the young heir.

"Sorry to disappoint I'm not the leader of the devils in this area" Issei said causing Xenovia to smile.

"We know you're not the leader of this town to tell you the truth because Irina won't. We want you to stay out of church business, if not you will be destroyed" Xenovia said looking a Issei who lent towards her.

"Is that a threat" Issei said angrily.

"No Issei, If you're not the head devil in this territory then you have nothing to to worry about I don't wont you involved in this problem. We are apparently meeting the devil kings little sister."Irina said looking towards Issei.

"Rias" Issei said looking towards the two.

"You know the Devil kings sister, I hopes she as reasonable as you" Xenovia said looking toward Issei.

"Yes I do and if you threaten her like you did me Lucifer, will be the least of your problems" He replied as he smiled.

"Oh so it is true the leader of this territory is the devil kings little sister, but why do you care about her aren't devils suppose to be selfish creatures so what are you to her" Xenovia said looking at Issei smiling.

"Her future husband" Issei said shocking both girls.

"Husband" Irina gasped shocked ready to pass out.

"Yes I'm am engaged to the next head of the Gremory so If it involves Rias, It involves me for her safely of course". Issei said cementing his claim of protection of Rias.

After the shock of Issei announcement died down Irina was the first to speak

"Ok then we will see you tomorrow then" Irina said as she gave Issei another hug despite knowing it burns him as they left.

Sitting back down on the couch Issei began to think about the outcomes of the meeting tomorrow, was this the beginning of another war or could this finally lead to peace Issei though to himself. It wasn't long before a magic circle appeared in the room revealing two figures.

"Issei are you ok, where's Asia" Rias said panicked as she embraced Issei into her chest.

"She's ok she upstairs asleep" Issei responded returning Rias's hug.

"I told you Rias he'd be ok he's got more demonic power than even you, the two church exorcists wouldn't last a minute" Akeno said confronting Rias and causing Issei to giggle.

"What's funny Issei" Akeno said as she sat next to him on the couch.

"Just what you said about Rias's demonic power and about Irina" Issei said causing confusion to spreed thought the girls thoughts.

"What do you mean" Akeno said.

"Well Rias demonic power is on par with myself and only exceeded by Vali's, she has the same potential as Sirzech's who now considered a super devil although she's not as naturally gifted as he is, her natural ability alone is enough to make her a worthy opponent to fight, she isn't apart of the rookies four for nothing so with a little more training daily she will reach ultimate class in no time" Issei said clearing the confusion about Rias' potential.

"Then why are you stronger than me" Rias said looking at Issei.

"Not counting Ddraig, the reason why i'm stronger is the confidence of my own abilities" Issei said as he held Rias's hand.

"Where did you get the confidence" Rias said looking towards Issei.

"Training, making mistakes and saving you from Riser" Issei said confidently.

"Riser" Rias asked confused as she thought about the Phenex clan member.

"Yes Riser made me realise that there is always something that you should fight for and that they will be the ones to push you to your limits not your enemy" Issei said as he walked over to face the wall of pictures in front of him.

"What do you fight for then" Rias said walking up behind Issei.

"My family" Issei said as he turned around looking at the shocked Rias and Akeno.

As Issei looked towards the two girls who had returned to their seats with a cup of tea in each of their hands Issei smiled, Apart from the intrusions of the church things in the three factions were very calm little did he know that his world was going to be turned upside down.

Returning to his seat across from the girls, Issei also began to sip from his cup of tea. Looking towards the girls Issei noticed a strange looking in Rias's eyes.

"Is everything ok" He asked looking towards the two girls.

"Issei who is Irina" Rias asked looking towards .

"Irina is my friend from when my family used this house as a holiday house in Japan" Issei said looking at Rias.

"So I take it she doesn't know that you're a devil" Akeno said happily thinking that they're weren't anymore rivals for Issei's love.

"No she knows the truth is she is one of the exorcists in Kuoh" Issei replied shocking Rias.

"She's one of the exorcists" Rias said shocked.

"You knew they were here" Issei said looking at Rias.

"Yeah that is what the meeting this afternoon with Sona was about, She wanted to tell us that she meet with them this afternoon and agreed to not help them on the cause and to tell them that she wasn't the leader in Kuoh" Rias said surprising him.

"So they went to Sona first" Issei said as he stroked his chin.

"Yeah, Sona didn't tell me what they wanted either" Rias said looking at Issei.

"I'll guess we have to find out tomorrow" Akeno said as she stood up.

As the three teenagers went off to bed Issei couldn't help but was going to happen.

Standing in front of the large wooden doors of the ORC clubroom, Issei couldn't help but feel nervous about the meeting that was about to take place. Opening the door Issei was greeted with the site of Rias and her peerage (Minus Kiba) waiting for the meeting to start.

Koneko was sitting happily on the couch eating the snacks that Issei had brought for her this morning much to her surprise, Issei could hear Akeno in the other room brewing some tea happily humming to herself, Asia was seated across from Koneko, the nervous look that evident on her face was understandable as the last time that she had contact with the church she was banished from their ranks.

Looking towards the back of the room Issei noticed Rias sitting behind her wooden desk. Walking up behind her Issei draped his loving hands around her back landing his hands just above her chest. Sinking into his embrace Rias lent back into Issei's chest sighing when she reached her favourite spot on Issei's chest.

"Your worried aren't you Rias" Issei said as he hugged his fiancee tighter.

"Yeah with everything that is going on with Kiba, this stray priest and now the church I have a bad feeling about this meeting for some reason" Rias said as she looked at Issei.

As Issei began to speak again there was a knock at the door causing everybody's attention to face the door.

"Enter" Rias said with authority in her voice.

Entering the room two robed figures walked into the room, standing in their places the devils prepared for the meeting. Rias and Issei sat next to each other on the couch opposite to the church members. Koneko and Asia stood behind their king and kings future husband. Sitting down the church members were were offered a cup of tea which they both kindly rejected by Akeno who gave it to Rias and Issei instead before she stood behind Rias.

As the two factions began to look at each other, Rias was the first to speak up.

"So what brings the followers of god into my territory" Rias said as she began to cross her arms under her bust line.

"We are here on church business to hunt down the stolen excalibur pieces" Xenovia said in a harsh tone.

"Stolen excalibur pieces" Issei said confused.

"Yes two fragments of the sword have been stolen from the church" Irina said looking at Issei.

"Who stole them" Rias asked as confused as Issei, She knew it would practically be impossible for any of the three factions to such a crime without starting a war.

"Is war what they wanted" Rias thought to herself quickly

"We have suspicion that it was one of the leaders of the fallen angels" Xenovia said seriously.

"What there was no way Azazel would want war he loves peace above all a part from his research" Issei thought to himself.

"A leader class fallen angel, are you two plaining to get killed" Rias said as she looked at the two church followers.

"Their was three of us however a priest has gone missing but if it is for god we are willing to die, but as added security we were given these swords" Xenovia said as she and Irina revealed two swords.

"My sword is Excalibur mimic" Irina said as the bracelet around her arm transformed into a Japanese style katana.

"And this is my sword Excalibur destruction" Xenovia said as the massive object behind her back was unwrapped and revealed a massive holy sword.

As the stunned looks around the room vanished Rias spoke up.

"Then why did you need to speak to me"

"We want you to stay out of our business even if you are the great devil kings little sister we will not hesitate to destroy you if you interfere with such business". Xenovia said angering Rias.

"Trust me I will never damage the name of our great devil kings or my dear brother, however we will not help you either" Rias said confidently as she took a sip of her tea.

"That is all we need to know" Xenovia said as she stood up to leave.

"Excuse me do you mind telling use who the fallen angel that stole the swords is" Rias said surprising everyone and causing Irina to grown in frustration.

"Im sorry to say this Issei but the fallen angel we're looking for is Kokabiel" Irina said as she turned away from Issei.

As the room went silent one single noise echoed throughout the room

SMASH

Looking towards the origin of the noise everyone was shocked at what they saw. Issei's cup had hit the floor and smashed into a million pieces on the wooden floor spilling tea everywhere, Issei himself was shaking and sweating rapidly, his pupils were significantly smaller than usual and his fists were heavily clenched.

"Why him, why is it him" Issei said to himself as he continued to shake.

Looking at her distressed fiancee Rias could only comfort the man she loves by embracing him into her chest and loving arms. Beginning to leaving Irina turned to Rias.

"Please lady Gremory look after Issei tonight he'll need it" Irina said as Rias nodded.

As Irina turned around she soon bumped into Xenovia's back.

"Xenovia what are you doing" she said as she rubbed her head where she had head butted Xenovia.

"Look its that girl from last night" Xenovia said.

"Yeah so" Irina said rudely.

"Excuse me you wouldn't be Asia Argento would you" Xenovia said looking at Asia who stood back a bit nervously.

"Yeah that's me" She said as she began to shake.

"So you really have become a witch, not only can you heal devils you became one. Let me ask you something do you still believe in god" Xenovia said looking at the young bishop with killing intent.

"She wouldn't believe in god she's a devil and stuff now" Irina said trying to change the subject.

"No there are still those who believe" Xenovia said looking at Asia.

"Um yes I could never let go of my faith" Asia said as she began to cry.

"Then you will let me kill you in his name" Xenovia said as she un-seethed her sword pointing it towards Asia.

The looks of shock filled the room, Asia was on the brink of tears, Koneko had gone into a fighting stance, both Rias and Akeno had began to emit their aura from their bodies and Issei was still laying in Rias lap.

"I'm going to have to stop you there" Rias said as she stood up sitting Issei up.

"Why if she still believes she should happily accept death in his name" Xenovia said walking towards Asia.

Continuing to walk towards the petrified bishop Xenovia was stopped when something grabbed her shoulder. Turning around Xenovia was surprised to see Issei grabbing her shoulder.

"You listen to me Miss Quarta, it was you bastards from the church that did this to Asia, she was just helping a helpless man that turned out to be a devil" Issei said as he stood between the two.

"What are you to Miss Argento" Xenovia said looking towards Issei.

"Her family, we all are and if you think of laying one finger on her, I don't care if your legal guardian is Griselda Quarta or if your with the church if one of you lay a finger on Asia you will be destroyed" Issei said shocking everyone by Xenovia the most.

"That's pretty big talk from a little devil such as yourself do you really think you can take on the entire church" Xenovia said trying to act cool although some of her past had been revealed.

"I will" Another voice said filling the room.

"Who are you" Xenovia said.

"Kiba" Rias said surprised

"Your superior, oh and that other priest he's dead, a man named Freed Sellzen killed him the other night" Kiba said shocking the girls and angering Issei.

Outside

As the group walked outside and stood in an open plain where the battle was about to take place in silence filled the are. In the middle of the plain Xenovia and Kiba stood across from each other. Pulling off her robe Xenovia revealed a skin tight black body suit emphasising her figure which secretly Issei was impressed about. Pulling her sword out of it sheath Kiba began to laugh.

"Why are you laughing" Xenovia said shocked.

Because the very thing I always wanted to destroy has appeared before me, Sword birth" Kiba said as the battle field became littered in swords of all types as he grabbed two.

"Sword birth, Wasn't there one subject that escaped the holy sword project that possessed that skill" Xenovia said.

"Was that your knight Lady Gremory" Irina said as she got closer towards Issei who stood there waiting for the fight to begin.

"Yes sadly it is" Rias replied looking confused at why Issei and Irina were so close.

"Are you sure we can do this" Akeno asked looking towards Rias.

Yes as long as nobody gets killed it should be ok" Rias replied as Irina nodded.

Looking towards the battlefield the group had already noticed that the battle had already begun. Slashing rapidly at Xenovia any form of Kiba's proud knights code was gone replaced by barbaric swings that was fuelled by revenge.

Clashing her holy sword against Kiba's swords Xenovia was completely caught off guard by the speed and strength that Kiba possessed, even in his enraged state Kiba was more than a perfect match for her. Blocking another slice Xenovia jumped back as swing her sword in the air.

"Know you are going to realise why this sword is known as Excalibur destruction" Xenovia said as she slammed the sword into the ground crating a massive BANG.

When the smoke and dust settled the entire ground around Xenovia had been turned into a massive crater ten metres wide and five metres deep with Xenovia standing in the middle of it.

"Even after being broken into seven pieces it's still this powerful, theres going to be a lot of destruction when I've finished with destroying all of them" Kiba said as he charged at Xenovia who jumped away surprised at his speed.

Looking at each other Kiba was the first to speak up.

"Lets see what will win your holy sword or my demonic sword" Kiba said as he charged at Xenovia.

As the two charge at each other the sound of smashing metal filled the area. Looking towards the fight Rias was horrified at what she saw, in his had the remains of Kiba's sword that was broken about half way down the sword, Xenovia's sword was perfectly in tacked and the cross guard of the sword was buried into kiba's abdomen.

Falling to the ground Kiba slumped forward defeated and ashamed, Xenovia on the other hand began to pick up her robe and put it back on.

"You know that large sword decreased your speed, I though my superior would know that" Xenovia said as she walked of meeting Irina who had also began to leave.

"Thank you for not killing my knight" Rias said gratefully.

"Its ok" She replied turning and beginning to walk away.

"Please take care of Issei, Lady Gremory" Irina said as she bowed and prayed to them hurting at the devils present.

As the two exorcists walking into the distance, Asia quickly ran over to Kiba and began to heal him. As the wound began to heal Rias walked over to Kiba.

"Kiba where have you been" She demanded quiet anger at her knight.

"Chasing my demons" Kiba said as he stood up and began to walk away.

"KIBA" Issei yelled prepared to charge after the knight for just walking away only to be stoped but Rias's hand on his shoulder.

"Leave it please he will come back, hopefully" Rias said as the group began to head home

Arriving home Rias instructed Akeno and Asia to go and have a bath while Issei and herself prepared dinner. Preparing dinner Issei was surprised at Rias' handy work in the kitchen and her enjoyment in doing it.

"It appears that I'm not the only one who trained their cooking skills throughout our year apart" Issei said as she wrapped his hands around Rias' waist.

"Yeah, Both Akeno and I used to have cooking and cleaning competitions between the two of us throughout the week" Rias said as she blushed in embarrassments.

"Why and what did you get for winning" Issei asked confused.

"Well you see, Um you got the title of the ultimate wife" Rias said quietly in her embarrassment.

"Ultimate wife what gave you the idea for that" Issei asked letting go off his future wife and continuing to cook dinner.

"Well, Akeno said to me that even though I could cook before you left you would more than happy if I was better at cooking" Rias said as she placed the vegetables into a pot.

"Then why did Akeno compete in the competition" Issei asked confused.

"I know but I'm not allowed to tell anyone" Rias said as she began to giggle causing Issei to grab her and tickle her all over to get the answer out.

As the two began to wrestle they soon entered the lounge room were Issei tossed Rias onto one of the lounges.

"You're never going to get it out of me" Rias said in a playful tone as Issei began to tickle her again.

"Well how about here" Issei said as he grabbed her feet and began to tickle the soles of her feet.

"How did know I was ticklish there" Rias said between giggles.

"I've know you since we were little Rias" Issei said as he kissed his fiancee leaving a mark on her neck.

"Well I know where you're ticklish" Rias said as she began to tickle behind his ears causing him to let go of her feet giving Rias the upper hand.

"Ara what's going on here" A voice said shocking the two teenagers.

Looking toward where the voice came from both Issei and Rias were embarrassed to see Akeno standing in the doorway with Asia standing behind her nervously.

"Akeno" Issei and Rias said at the same time causing the raven haired teenager to laugh.

"Dinner has been plated" Asia said causing the two to blush in embarrassment.

Walking back into the kitchen Issei and Rias noticed that the table had been set and the food was siting there ready to be eaten. Looking towards the girls Issei proceeded to hug them both.

"Thanks for doing his for us, we lost track of time" Issei said as he continued to hug the girls causing Akeno to blush and Asia to return the hug like a little sibling would.

Eating dinner the four devils continued to talk about school and contracts that they have been filling.

"Issei have you spoken to Vali lately" Akeno said wondering about her sister queen while looking at Issei who was sitting at the end of the table.

"Yeah I spoke to her at lunch time, she said Tiamat and Tannin are teaching her a lot about dragons society as well as some bits of training and that some of the hatchlings have already started to hatch" Issei said causing the girls to smile at the though of little dragons.

As dinner came to an end Akeno and Asia went upstairs to bed leaving Issei and Rias to clean up after dinner. Beginning to pack the dishwasher and putting it on Rias turned towards Issei.

"Issei lets go have a bath" Rias said as she grabbed his hand pulling him upstairs.

Entering the bath and beginning to run the water Rias and Issei began to strip off their clothes. Sitting on the stool beginning to clean herself Rias was surprised when Issei began washing her back for her.

"Issei" She said surprised as she tied her hair into a bun as Issei washed her back for her.

"Yeah" He replied finishing washing her and beginning her stomach and breasts.

"Your such a naughty boy" Rias said as Issei began to wash everywhere including between her legs.

Finishing cleaning Rias, Rias returned the favour by washing Issei just as much as he washed her she even gave extra wash on his most sensitive spots.

Finishing washing each other Issei sat in the tub with the water resting about chest height. As Issei began to relax Rias hoped into the bath sitting in between his legs and reseting her head against his well developed chest causing Issei to hug her.

"Hey Issei can I ask you something" Rias said turning to look at Issei.

"Yeah anything" He replied looking back at Rias.

"Why did you act the way you did when Irina said Kokabiel today" Rias said as she felt Issei grip around her tighten.

Sitting there silently for a few moments Rias felt uneasy on what was going to happen until Issei finally spoke up.

"Kokabiel was the fallen angel that killed my mother" Issei said as Rias turned around and hugged him tighter.

"Im sorry Issei I didn't know" Rias said as she began to weep.

"Its fine I didn't expect your parents to tell you, dad said when he told your parents your mother almost cried as much as we did" Issei said shocking Rias.

"My mother" Rias said shocked.

"Yeah dad said they were best friends as well as rivals growing up" Issei said as Rias nodded.

"Yeah I knew that. We'll ask her about their past next time we see her, do you want to talk about it" Rias said looking towards Issei who nodded.

"Ok this is going to be hard for me so It might take a while I've only told my father and Sirzech this" Issei said as Rias held his hand.

Flashback Eleven years ago

Walking down the street a woman appearing in her early twenties is seen with her hand held out. Her hand is entwined with a small boys who is only appeared six years of age.

As the two continued to walk their laughter and smile filled the empty street.

"Mum you're so funny" The small boy sad as he held onto his mothers arm.

"Thank you Issei" The woman said as she gave him a kiss on the forehead.

Looking up at his mother Issei took in all her facial features. Her black hair was as dark as the night. The emerald of her eyes gave the impression off a light house on cliff keeping sailors safe from the rocks, Issei always felt safe looking into her eyes. She was of an average height for a woman in her early twenties (even though she is much older) and her figure was one of the very few that rival Venelana Gremory.

Continuing to walk down the street Issei suddenly felt a shiver run down his spin.

"Mum did you feel that" Issei said as he looked up at his mothers eyes.

"Yes dear let's have a race" Issei's mother said as she tried to hide the danger that they were in.

"Going so soon" An ominous voice said from behind them.

Turning around the two devils noticed a man standing alone in the street. The man was about 6'5 and was fairly well build. His pale skin reminded Issei of a vampire and his pointed ears that of an elf. His red eyes with their yellow pupils instantly struck fear into Issei. Beginning to step back Issei was shielded by his mother who stood in front of him.

"What do you want Fallen angel" Issei's mother demanded pointing towards the fallen angel.

"Oh so you know what I am,I wouldn't expect anything less from the Mistress of light" The fallen angel said as a massive grin appeared on his face.

"That didn't answer my question fallen, who are you and what are you doing here" The mistress of light said guarding her son.

"I am Kokabiel and I'm here to kill you" Kokabiel said with a massive grin.

"What does a fallen angel leader want with me" Issei's mother said as she created a light spear in her left hand.

"Well killing you will make it look like an angel has killed you forcing your husband to attack heaven starting another war" Kokabiel said as he began to laugh.

"Issei I want you to hide mummy will take care of this" Issei's mother said as Kokabiel charged at her.

As the two began to clash Issei was completely terrified at the power that the two were outputting. Punching Kokabiel in the face with fist full of light the mistress of light jumped back. Looking at the fallen angel leader she noticed that blood had began to drip down his face.

"You bitch" He said as he charged at her with two light swords of his own.

Parring the two swords Kokabiel was impressed by the skill that the mistress of light possessed.

"You truely deserve the title of Mistress of light devil" Kokabiel snarled as he head butted the young woman.

Charging at the young devil Kokabiel was surprised when she moved out of the way successfully driving two spears of light into his chest. Stepping back Kokabiel began to couch up blood. Looking up he noticed that the mistress of light was standing in front of a small boy guarding him with her life.

"Oh" Kokabiel said as he charged a the she devil again.

Squatting down Issei's mother prepared to attack the fallen angel again only to be smacked to the side by his enormous strength. Continuing to charge Kokabiel created a spear of light and aimed it at Issei. As he through the spear issei closed his eyes accepting his fate. The feeling of a wet substance splashed against Issei's face.

Looking up Issei was completely horrified at what he saw. In front of him he mother stood with a light spear planted in her chest. As the spear disappeared she fell to her knee's causing Issei to quickly grab his mother hugging her closer to his chest.

"Mum, Mum you're going to be ok " Issei said as he began to weep.

Grabbing his face Issei's mother nursed her son like she did when he was a baby. Placing his hand on her's Issei who was now balling his eyes out looked down at his mother.

"Issei, listen to me, I want you to be happy, even though I wont see it happen, I want you to make friends me a nice girl and have many children. I love you and your father with all my heart never forget that" She said as her hand dropped from Issei's face.

"Mum, Mum wake up you're going to be ok" Issei said as he began to shake his mother.

Looking up Issei notice Kokabiel beginning to walk towards him.

"Its a pity boy, who's going to protect you now" He said as he threw another spear of light at Issei only for it to be destroyed by a slash of a sword.

"What" Kokabiel said as he notice a man with chestnut colour hair standing above the boy.

"Don't you think you've done enough to the boy, fallen" The man said as he raised his sword.

"I suppose but listen son of the mistress of light I will kill you one day" Kokabiel said as he released his wings and flee away laughing.

As the man turned around he noticed Issei looking at him, his eyes were soulless and emotionless. Walking up to the boy the man grabbed him and hugged him closer.

"Its ok Issei" the man said.

"Mr Shidou please help my mum" Issei said as he wept into his priest clothing.

"Its ok son, it's ok" He said as he started to weep.

Flashback end

Finishing his story Issei had began to cry like he did on that day, looking he noticed Rias was just as bad as him. Hugging her closer his tears began to run down her back into the warm water below.

"I'm so sorry Issei, I don't know how you and your father made it through" Rias said as her tears ran down Issei's back.

"Dad's cry still haunt me to his day" Issei said as he looked at Rias.

"That's why your so close to Irina, her father save you didn't he" Rias said looking at Issei who nodded

"Yeah, he did" Issei said as he continued to sob.

"Don't worry Issei will help your mum's dream come true" Rias said as she looked at Issei who gave her a confused look.

"What do you mean" Issei said as the two got out the bath and proceeded to get dry.

"Come with me" Rias said as she lead him to their bedroom.

A/N I'm going to leave it there, the truth about how Issei's mother died and the title she had growing up has been revealed. Irina and Xenovia made their official appearance revealing the truth about why the appearance about the multiple holy swords that have accrued. Next week the hunt for the swords really begins.

I would like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a safe holiday, I will try and get the next chapter out on time sorry for any problems.
