That One Training Arc - 15

"Cucka!"

Asia winced as Issei flipped backwards from the kick Koneko launched that caught him in the cheek, a sputtering muffled cry erupting from his lips as his body rotated completely around mid-air from the force of it and he face planted on the ground.

He moaned dismally into the ground and Asia had to resist the urge to rush over and heal him with her sacred gear. She'd been tempered not to all day yesterday when he'd been beaten up quite thoroughly through sparring with Koneko and Kiba.

It didn't mean she had got rid of the desire to do so though, she just had to hold it in, it was all tor training for buchou's sake!

"Issei, what's wrong? This is worse than yesterday," Rias-buchou sighed, palming her forehead, "Asia healed you and everything, you should be in even better shape after the training from yesterday, so why are you doing even worse?"

Asia hadn't wanted to say as such, but…she kind of agreed. Ever since she met up with Issei this morning, he'd been quite off. There were bags under his eyes as if he had not slept a wink, he always seemed to be daydreaming and he'd randomly hunch over at the oddest of times during breakfast.

Actually he kept staring at the door when they were having breakfast as if expected something to come barging through and had seemed oddly enough to Asia to be both dreaded by the prospect and excited by it.

"Mmfgffcuckfgfd," Issei spoke around a mouthful of dirt, before spitting it out and pushing himself up on shaky legs to give buchou a sheepish grin, "Ah, sorry buchou I was just so excited…for training that I ended up not getting any sleep at all last night."

"You idiot," Rias shook her head fondly, "Take a rest for now I suppose then, we'll resume in half an hour."

"Hehe yes mam!" Issei saluted. limping his way over to a tree and collapsing against it with an exhausted sigh while Koneko snorted at him.

Asia was about to go over and heal him using her twilight healing sacred gear, but buchou spoke up before she could, "Asia, could you go wake up Kaito for me please?" her redheaded king called over, "While he's with us, I think it's best I put his knowledge to use when it comes to training Issei with his dragon type sacred gear."

With Rias looking at Asia and both Asia herself and Koneko turning their attention to her, none of them noticed Issei stiffening lightly and opening his mouth-

"Sure, leave it to me buchou!" Asia smiled brightly at her.

"Thank you," Rias smiled back, before suddenly sighing, "And tell Akeno to get a move on while you're there and stop playing around would you? This isn't the time for her games."

Asia blinked, she wasn't sure what Akeno had to do with waking up Kaito? though she did remember that Akeno had left the bath they were all having early last night so she could go help out Kaito learn how to use devil magic. Did she end up sleeping in Kaito's room?

With a smile on her face, Asia made her way back into the villa and towards where she knew Kaito's bedroom was, directly above Issei's actually!

Her own was actually right next to Issei's and she'd heard odd sounds coming from above when she returned to her room, so Kaito and Akeno must have been working very hard.

No wonder they were still asleep!

When she reached Kaito's assigned berrom for their stay during their training, Asia knocked on the door a few times before calling through the door, "Kaito-san, are you awake?"

No answer.

And…her nose tingled a bit.

"Hmm, that smells weird, but nice." Asia sniffed the air a few times. She'd smelled it before actually. Around Issei she was sure, but never as thick and potent. She always liked it and it made her feel tingly in the stomach and pleasant and warm.

Did they use the same kind of deodorant maybe?

Actually, now that she thought about it, Issei and Kaito didn't get along at all. Asia pouted at the thought, it was because of girls. A flare of jealousy that was completely unbecoming burned in her stomach at all the girls Issei was interested in but never showed any of that with her.

'Does he not have any interest in me like Akeno-senpai and buchou and all those other girls?' Asia wondered and looking down at her chest with a pout, 'Is it really because my breasts aren't big enough?'

New as she was to the outside world, she was well aware of how much Issei adored big breasts like buchou's.

…And Raynare's.

Asia bit her lip, her mind wandering back to after Raynare had taken her away from Issei. The fallen angel had cruelly mocked her in many ways, and had a lot of fun lording the fact that Issei was 'in love with her' before, but she killed him because he was too pathetic, and that she, Asia herself was just what she called a 'rebound' girl, someone he was only hanging around with to make himself feel better about not getting with the girl he truly wanted to. In that case, Raynare herself who had very loudly decreed her superiority when it came to physical attractiveness in comparison to Asia herself.

She was such a horrible woman, but her words did ring true sometimes to her, when Issei would rather pay attention to Rias and Akeno because of their massive breasts, just like Raynare's own.

Shaking her head and putting those melancholy thoughts out of mind, Asia once again knocked on Kaito's bedroom door a few times and called his name once more for good measure.

When there was still no answer and no sound to be heard after a few moments, Asia reached for the door knob and opened the door stepping inside.

She was hit almost immediately with that same scent she liked, but in a much heavier…dose? She could practically feel it all around her, wrapping around her body like a warm cover and making her cheeks flare and body tingle excitedly.

If she wasn't careful, Asia was sure she could get lost in it and just sit around in a daze! She clearly still wasn't used to the normal world if just a smell she liked was doing this to her.

Asia smacked her cheeks to reorient herself and looked to the bed where she could see Kaito. He was flat on his back, face looking up at the ceiling, shirtless and snoring lightly as he slept peacefully.

"Wow, he's very well built." Asia noticed almost immediately. She hadn't spent much time around Kaito at all because of the friction between him and Issei. But here and now, he was shirtless as he slept in bed, the covers bunched like a small hill from his waist down.

It was such a big bed too! Easily five times the size of the one she had back home at the Hyoudou home!

Asia wasn't all that used to be around boys. It was mostly older men of the clothe she dealt with growing up, and then Issei and Kiba who were both a lot lot more slender built than Kaito Evander.

'They look very strong!' she thought, nodding to herself. It was no wonder buchou wanted his help to beat up that nasty Riser Phenex!

His muscular and powerful body instilled a very reliable feeling just from looking at it, Asia could feel.

She wondered if Issei would have a body like that once he did enough training with buchou and mastered his Boosted Gear?
