Chapter 22 R-18+

"So this is your childhood friend Irina. He doesn't seem like much." Her partner said bluntly.

"Be nice Xenovia." Irina pouted as she continued to enjoy her childhood friend's warmth.

"Very well" Xenovia replied with a frown.

Issei had to admit the partner was cute but again his focus was on other places.

"Let me put my stuff away and I'll be back in a second." Issei said calmly before pulling away from Irina's hug.

"No problem dear." Miki said calmly and Issei made his way up to his room to put his things away. What he didn't see was the frown on Irina's face as he left.

Putting his stuff away didn't take long, but as Issei turned to go back downstairs he was met by the frowning face of his childhood friend.

Issei internally cursed because he was so distracted that he didn't notice her following him, "That was a pretty weak hello considering I haven't seen you in 6 years Issei." Irina frowned.

"Sorry about that. I had a lot on my mind." Issei replied bashfully.

"Then make up for it right now" Irina smiled as she walked over to Issei and wrapped her arms around his waist just as they had so many times before.

"Alright" Issei replied knowing what his childhood friend wanted.

Issei then kiss Irina on the lips as he had many times before but since it had been six years it was very special.

It was a simple kiss at first but Issei slid his tongue towards Irina's lips which quickly parted to allow him access to her mouth with Issei doing the same for Irina.

The clash of tongues that followed was fiercesome and the two parties fought for dominance for almost three minutes before Irina finally pulled away with an impressive trail of saliva showing the results of their battle.

"That's more like it." Irina smiled.

"Yeah" Issei replied with a smile.

Murayama may have been the one to reignite his passion for swordswomen and Yumi only intensified it but there was no comparing either of them to Irina.

She was his ultimate treasure.

"Let's get back to the others. I'm sure Xenovia is being a worry wart." Irina chuckled.

"Fine with me but we're finishing this conversation in my bed tonight."

"Why Issei, I thought we agreed we wouldn't go that far until you beat me in a proper spar." Irina replied with a teasing smile.

"We can just cuddle for now. You don't mind being naked do you" Issei replied smoothly.

"We'll see" Irina replied with a smile on her face as the two made their way back down to the others.

Irina was nervous about the upcoming mission and having Issei with her would certainly calm her down but the tough part began the next day.

(Irina P.O.V)

After a simple dinner, Xenovia and I went back to the guest room in order to relax for a little bit.

Tomorrow would be the meeting with the devils and I was nervous because of how it would affect our mission.

"Are you ready Xenovia?" I asked my partner referring to the meeting tomorrow.

"Yes I am. We're doing this for the sake of God and although our opponents are dangerous we will endure." Xenovia said calmly.

"Yes I suppose" I replied nervously.

"By the way, why aren't you with your childhood friend right now? I know you've been looking forward to this for a while Irina." Xenovia said with a wry smile.

"What are you talking about Xenovia" I replied with a slight blush.

"I may have terrible sleeping habits, but you talk in your sleep a lot." Xenovia revealed causing me to blush heavily.

The church may praise purity and all of that stuff but the truth is most of the girls in training were horny sluts.

In our platoon of twenty men and women, Xenovia and I were the only ones who were still virgins and not because we weren't attractive since multiple guys had attempted to go after us and been turned away for various reasons.

Xenovia turned them down because she claimed she hadn't found anybody strong enough and me because I was saving myself for Issei.

"I see." I said bashfully aware I likely mentioned Issei in my sleep a few times.

"Well I don't mind. There is a chance we might die and if you wish to sleep with him beforehand I wouldn't stop you." Xenovia replied.

"Issei and I have an arrangement for that." I replied with a hint of annoyance.

"That's fine. Though I am curious why him. As you said he isn't a devil but he clearly isn't human based on his aura." Xenovia replied calmly.

I frowned since I wanted to keep this a secret for as long as possible, "Issei is the Red Dragon Emperor and a powerful one at that. He and I used to train together when I was in Japan and I know if he's kept up his training he's incredibly strong." Irina revealed.

"I see. Well why not tell him about the mission?" Xenovia replied with a question.

"I have my reasons" I insisted.

"Alright" Xenovia replied calmly.

(Scene Skip)

As we made our way to Kuoh Academy the next day, I was extremely nervous since I had no idea about what was coming and what to expect from the devils in the area since Issei didn't tell us much.

When we arrived at the entrance of the school I noticed a young woman in Kuoh's uniform with a black bob cut and glasses.

"So you're the exorcists that are meeting with Rias." The young woman said calmly.

"Yes and who are you" I replied with respect aware that this young woman was a devil and from the aura she was putting out a powerful one.

"My name is Sona Sitri. I'm the Student Council President of this school and future head of the Sitri clan. I'll be escorting you to Rias." The young woman said calmly.

"Thank you very much." I replied nodding to my partner. As we walked through the campus I found that the school seemed nice with the various sports clubs and people.

A part of me was curious why Issei wasn't the one greeting us, but I was relieved since we could hide the truth from him for now.

Sona led us to a clearly older building and after walking up a few floors stopped at a room.

"Rias is waiting inside." Sona said calmly.
