The Holy Priestess

Akeno had hesitated for only a moment, before telling Issei her childhood and the story of how she met Rias.

And Issei was...glad? It was difficult to discern his emotions at the moment.

'Just like I thought...she seems to be obtaining her peerage members through filthy tricks and lies.' He said to himself. 

Suddenly, his phone started ringing with a very particular ringtone that was reserved for a certain someone. And disregarding Akeno's presence, he answered the call.

"Okaa-san, what's wrong?" He asked calmly, but received a panicked response.

"Issei! Raynare-chan said there is an emergency and then ran off. We heard her yell 'tell Issei to meet me at the church'. Tiamat-chan decided to follow her." 

"I see, thank you for telling me, I'll take care of it." He replied and hung up. "I need to go, tell your master that you failed, and nothing else." 

"Y-Yes! Um..." Akeno looked like she wanted to say something, but couldn't. 

Issei saw her expression, took a long sniff with his dragon instincts, and smirked. He bent over and whispered something in her ear, before taking off to meet this so called 'emergency'.

As he was arriving, he noticed a third person with Raynare and Tiamat, as well as the presence of a sacred gear within that third person. 

He landed a few feet away since there didn't seem to be a conflict among them. And he instantly noticed how terrified the third presence, a young girl, was at his appearance. 

Looking at him with eyes filled with fear, the girl had adorned a nun's outfit that matched perfectly with her blond, almost golden hair. Around her neck was a silver necklace, the source of the presence of the sacred gear. 

'Ddraig, what's that gear?'

[Hmm...that is Twilight Healing. Pretty useful in the right scenario, if I do say so myself.]

"Issei! You sure took your time. This is Asia Argento, an excommunicated nun. She's Italian." Raynare told him. 

"Hmm, I got that, but why is your mouth swollen?" Issei asked Raynare, who looked a little beaten up, as if she had been in a teenage fight.

"Ah, well..." She meekly glanced towards Tiamat, while trying to avoid answering.

"She had plans to kill this poor girl and take her sacred gear for herself." Tiamat spoke up.

It was then that Issei noticed the blond girl, Asia, had hidden herself behind Tiamat and was peeking at him. 

"Its okay, he won't hurt you. He's the one I told you about earlier." She told the nun, which finally made her calm down and come out to greet Issei.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Asia." Issei got a bit closer before bowing slightly and greeting her in his crooked Italian with countless mistakes.

"Um...It's a pleasure to meet you, Issei-san! I am Asia Argento! Please take good care of me." She answered in perfect Japanese.

"I used a spell to teach her our language to avoid confusion." Tiamat said with a sly smile on her face.

"I see. For now, lets take her back home." Issei just sighed at the weird situation. 

On the way home, Issei flew next to Raynare so he could hear the blonde girl's story. Raynare was a bit surprised that Issei wasn't mad at her. 

"The Raynare who made that decision was the one who I hadn't met. You won't do that again, will you?" She shook her head frivolously and the topic was dropped.

'Anyway, a nun who was revered as a priestess...but thrown out because her powers worked on other races. Typical church behavior.'

[Spot on. So, what will you do with her? As far as I can see, you have no interest in her romantically.]

'Well...I have an idea.'

Somewhere in the Underworld...

Kalawarner was shivering while kneeling in front of her superior. She was half scared that he'd kill her because he deemed the information she just gave as irrelevant, and half scared he'd kill her because she was a witness.

Kokabiel was sitting on his make-shift phony throne, giggling with amusement.

"So, you're telling me that the Red Dragon Emperor has finally revealed himself, and is strong enough to fight me?" He said the last part with malice and anger. 

"N-No! I'm sure Kokabiel-sama will beat that piece of shit dragon within seconds!" The poor survivor quickly corrected her words.

"That's enough, leave me." He ordered. "Kukukuku...this is a situation not even Azazel could have anticipated. This might work out better than I thought. It wouldn't be strange if the fight between two powerhouses end up killing the heiress'. And if that happens, then Sirzech's anger will be distributed amongst me and the dragon. In other words, the Red Dragon Emperor will be ensnared in the war automatically, and the devils will have numerous enemies. Kukukuku..."

...

Kuoh Academy

Rias was sitting on her chair with her head in her hands. 

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Why do you have to be so difficult, Issei Hyoudou!?!?" 

She had just received a notice that her engagement with Riser will be moved up a few years. And Riser will personally visit her next week to 'congratulate' her. 

Her last plan to avoid this was using the red dragon emperor as her pawn and beat Riser in a rating game, but with that out of the question...

"No...I won't accept it! If nothing else works, then I'll personally call him here and request him to help me! Even if he resisted Akeno, he WILL fall under my high class devil charms."
