The Bane Of Devils

Life Is Pain

*POV Rias*

'Where is that stray? I had koneko tell her to bring the boy back once she killed him.'

I didn't realize it but I was biting my fingernails. I really needed that boy. He had such a powerful aura surrounding him. I really hope he has a powerful sacred gear.

After 20 minutes of waiting, I had enough. I summoned koneko to go and check on the stray. She nodded and left.

*time skip*

After 20 minutes, I get a call from koneko.

"Yes? Did you find the stray?" I asked.

"Yes, in a puddle of blood. With its head chopped off." Koneko said nonchalantly.

"WHAT!!!" I yelled.

'Oh no, this is bad! What if they find out? What am I gonna do?'

I started thinking about what I could do. All I really can do is just wait and play dumb if asked. 
'Why couldn't the stray do as I asked?'

*time skip*

*Issei POV*

"Wake up Issei." A voice said.

'Wait...I remember that voice.'

"Please wake up Issei." The same voice soothingly spoke.

I tried to open my eyes, but it was harder then I remember it being. Like I had sandbags holding them down. Not only that, but my body felt heavy.

"Come on Issei. Come back to me."

The same voice.

'Come on! Wake up!'

I used all my strength.

'Come on!'

I started seeing something. I was so close!

'WAKE UP!' I yelled.

When I opened my eyes, a bright white light hit my eyes. After my eyes started to adjust, I saw bright voilet eyes staring right back at mine.

"Issei!" I heard and then came the bone crushing hug. I felt my head being shoved into two soft pillows. It felt nice, except for the part that I couldn't breath.

"Raynare. Let the boy go. Your suffocating him." Spoke a gruff voice.

" OH SORRY!" She quickly let go to make sure I was okay.

*gasp*

"I'm fine." I told her.

Though in all reality I was not fine. My entire body felt sore, especially my stomach. That's when the memories of what happened came back.

I tried moving my body to sit up but a sharp pain hit my chest. I felt like I couldn't breath. That's when Raynare gently placed her hand on my chest and some yellow light appeared on her hand. After a few seconds the pain went away.

"How... did... you... do that?" I asked as I regained my breath.

"Well Issei, you are now apart of the supernatural world and in the supernatural world, most beings can use healing magic." She explained.

"OH oka- Wait, the supernatural world? It's real and I'm gonna be apart of it?" I asked.

"Yes and that means you Issei, will need to be trained so you can protect yourself and others, should the need arise." Spoke a gruff voice.

I looked around and saw a man with long black hair, red beady eyes, long and pointed ears, wearing a cape and some dirty clothes. He had a small grin on his face.
