Capítulo 8: Maiden of the cloth
Warwick POV
As Issei begins his new life as a devil, doing basic tasks such as handing out flyers and helping muscular wannabe magical... men... my boredom started to grow, not being able to enter town, without being turned into a urban mythological creature that the history channel decides to cover... for some reason, has really caused me to run out of things to do. I was hard pressed for idea until I decided to just go back to doing what I do best, hunting.
Issei POV
"Hello, is anyone home? You called for a devil?" Something didn't feel right too me as I pushed on the front door and it opened with no resistance. The hair on the back of my neck stood on edge as I creeped through the halls of the small tan town house that is owned originally by one of Koneko's contracts.
A tangy metal smell filled the air, like... newly minted coins, an odd smell for a home to have. A light of candles flickered at the end of the hallway, the floor seemed to become slippery but my eyes couldnt focus enough in the dark to figure out why.
"Hello" pushing into the room that held a black couch a small box television, and a numerous number of candles that were likely a fire hazard.
"It looks like the shitty devil has finally decided to show up, right after I just got done entertaining my most gracious host too" looking to the voice that made me slightly jump I was immediately stunned by a wall that housed a man nailed to a massive cross, words drawn in blood were written around him saying things like "Devil worshiper" and "Sinner" .
"oh fuck... who are you, did you do this to him... why?" barely stopping myself from throwing up I looked at the man who addressed me. A deranged smile was held on his face, his white hair stained red and matted, the white gloves and robes held the same fate.... 'Its like he wears white on purpose for this very reason'
"Oh come on now, surely Devil trash like yourself can handle a little blood. As to why I did this? This fucktard was summoning devils, like yourself and besmerching the good name of big G. praise the lord and all that stupid shit." While speaking he removed what looked to be almost a toy gun from his a belt from under his robes, aiming it towards me all my insticts screamed. "now I get to have the same fun I had with him, with you. Im gonna take my sweet old time too"
A sharp pain shot through my shoulder, it was a massive burning sensation that seemed to sap my strength and boil my skin. Jumping behind the couch for cover I prepared to fight for my life, only for another shot to come through what I foolishly thought would protect me, entering my upper thigh and causing me to scream out in pain.
"Father Freed, is everything alrig....EEEEK, oh mother Mary what happened here" falling on her butt, Asia, the blonde haired Woman of the cloth looked on in shock. Her innocent brain not fully understanding what was going on, and how it could have happened in the 15 minutes she was away.
"Asia, RUN, GET AWAY FROM HERE. Your "father freed" is a mad man, he killed this person" trying to get asia to saftey she finally reazlied i was here.
"Issei, whats going on? what are you doing here? Oh, no, you're hurt" Completly disregarding what I just said to her, she rushed over to me and started using her sacred gear to heal me. Instantly my wounds stopped feeling like someone was pouring salt in them, and my blood stopped flowing freely.
"my oh my, Asia. Do you know him? Do you even know what he is? Thats a shitty fucking devil you're healing right now" Looking down in shame as Asia looked at me in shock, a moment of dread filled my heart. Asia was going to hate me.
"I don't care if he is a devil, father, he is a good person. He has helped me a lot"
Moving across the room the crazed priest yanked asia away from me, throwing her to the ground and tearing the front of her robes open.
"Colluding with a devil, you are no better then that man nailed to that cross over there. Such a stupid little bitch" The ever-present smile on his face somehow grew more evil. "at least you got a nice body to make up for your lack of intelegence"
"LEAVE HER ALONE" forcing myself off the floor as he started to grope the young woman, who I saw as a friends, chest I charged him with every ounce of strength my body still held. A sharp pain and a swelling filled my cheek as he backhanded me sending me sprawiling across the floor. "please, stop. Don't hurt her"
"oh, is the little weak devil begging for his friend? Don't worry, I wont hurt her, not at first at least. We are just gonna have a little fun" enphezising his words with more tearing of clothing, asia was not almost completely exposed, a small modest pair of bloomers was the only thing that offered any protection from the mans assaults. Anger flaired in my mind as i attempted to once again get up, as his hand reached to slip through the band that protected her innocence.
The sound of shattering glass and the thump of someone hitting the ground stopped the priest and myself in my tracks. Red glowing rage filled eyes, and massive snarling teeth that dripped with drool, both backed by the massive frame of what was the werewolf that the school mascot spent most of her free time around. He. looked. pissed.
"A hunt is always more satisfying when they truely deserve it" was all he snarled as he leaped across the room tearing Freeds offending arm from the socket and send him across the room. His curse filled screams polluted the air as he fumbled with his one hand activating a rune covered stone before reaching for his light blade.
I watched on in aww as Warwick stalked towards the man, his back always infront of the downed Asia in a protecting manner. Preventing her from being injured.
A flash of red occompineded filled the room accompanied by Kiba declaring "Don't worry issei, we are here to help"
Koneko, Kiba, Rias, and Akeno all appearing from house gremory teleport runes. Rias looked on at me in concern, as Kiba took up stance infront, Koneko looked on towards the raging monster whos claws dripped with blood, Akeno casted spells in the air that I didnt really understand.
"looks like we arent needed" Konekos monotone voice put me to ease, if she could be calm in this situation there is likely nothing to worry about.
"We need to leave, we have fallen closing in on us" as Akeno announced this I started to make my way over to Asia, no way we are leaving her, only to be stopped by a hand pulling me back.
"wait, we can't leave her. She saved my life"
"We have no choice, Issei. Non gremory household members arent able to take the teleport circle." Ria's voice still held its concern as she looked over to Warwick. "that means you can't come either big guy".
"Don't worry about me, Red. My hunt isn't over anyway" The snarling response made me shiver as the teleport runes started to appear below us. I tried to free myself from the collective grasp of my fellow peerage members to no avail.
"ASIA NOOOO" I reached towards her, a sad smile spread on her face from her downed position.
"Don't worry about me Issei, I will be fine. Good bye."
"Make sure to come home safe, Warwick." Was the last thing that was said in that room before I was forcefully teleported. I can't allow this to happen, I will go save Asia.
