As Asia wakes up she looks around the room she's in. To her surprise, it's the same room she slept in when she slept over at Zato's house. This surprises Asia since last she recalled, she....died.

"Was that all a dream?" Asia asks herself as she sits up in her bed

"How the hell did you find my house?" Asia could hear the muffled question from a voice she assumed was Zato. As Asia gets up from her bed she exits the room and walks toward the living room to see Zato by the door, trying to close it. "Look I deal with your demonic bullshit at school, and at school only, condition number three I don't have to do what you say." Zato quickly says as he slams the door close and turns around to see Asia. "Oh, morning how'd you sleep?" Zato ask as he walks toward Asia

"F-fine, though I had the weirdest dream," Asia explains

"Let me guess. You were kidnapped by fallen angels and then killed?" Zato asks as Aisa jumps a bit out of shock.

"E-exactly," Asia replies. "How did you know?" Asia questions

"That's because it wasn't a dream, that all really happened," Zato explains to the ex-nun as her eyes widen

"W-wait so I really died?" Asia ask as he face lowers toward the ground realizing that the church had truly abandoned her

"Yeah, you did," Zato says slowly while rubbing the back of his neck

"T-then how am I alive, or is this heaven?" Asia asks as her eyes grow wide. "Don't tell me you died because of me!" Asia shouts

"No, no this isn't heaven, pretty sure I would end up there," Zato whispers that last part to himself. "You'll one hundred percent alive," Zato tells Asia

"But I died, Raynare took out my sacred gear and I felt myself slip away. So how am I alive after that?" Asia asks

Zato was about to answer but saw thew time and breath a mental sigh of relief. "Oh, would you look at the time. I gotta go, their food in the fridge." Zato tells Asia as he exits the house and on the other side of the door puts his hand on his face.

"I can't push off telling her. After school, I'll tell her, just need to think about how to properly do it." Zato says as he begins to walk to school with his bag thrown over his shoulder.

Zato walks down the sidewalk thinking about how to tell Asia that she's now a devil. She was once a woman of the cloth someone who prayed to god and was taught to despise devil. How is he supposed to tell her that she's now what she was taught to despise?

"This is hell." Zato sighs as he arrives at the front gate of Kouh Academy. They're waiting for him is Rias.

"Hello there Zato, I was hoping to talk to you before school starts," Rias says with a smile.

"I did say I deal with your demonic shit at school, fine just make it quick," Zato says to the crimson tomato.

Rias and Zato walk through the school grounds and this alone attracts all kinds of attention that Zato could live without.

Female Studnet 1: Wait is Zato hanging out with Rias?

Female Student 2: Rias must be trying to reform him. It's so kind of her, but I don't think even she could get through to him.

"Just remember Zato murder of the first degree is a life sentence," Zato tells himself as he and Rias continue to walk through the school toward the ORC building. Once inside Zat sees Kiba, Koneko, and Akeno already inside. Zato thinks nothing of it since if worse came to worse he could probably take them all. Zato takes a seat on the couch next to Koneko and looks at Rias. "So what do you want?" Zato asks
