Chapter 4: Believers

Third Person's POV

It started raining soon after Kiba started wandering the city streets at night, until he bumped into, a priest running away from something, or someone.

"A priest?" Kiba said in confusion.

"P-Please help m-me..." The priest pleaded him before falling into a small puddle form the rain.

Kiba was running towards that person but was stopped as someone slashing at him. He jumped out of the way and quickly manifested his long sword and blocked an attack from an oddly shaped sword releasing a holy aura.

"Well, well, well, look who's here, that demon filth, the Unmerciful Prince?" The man said accompanied by a sadistic expression on his face.

Kiba narrowed his eyes at who was in front of him. "Freed Selzen...That light...that aura..."

"I was getting bored of priest hunting, so this really is a good timing." Freed maniacally laughed at the blonde knight. "Very good. Nice timing indeed. My Excalibur and your sword, can you let me check which one is stronger? Hyahahahahahahaha! I will repay you by killing you!"

"I will never forgive Excalibur..." Kiba growled as he glared at the crazy priest.

Freed then pushed Kiba back, who is slighty lost his balance and just when he regained it, Freed continued his assault. Both of their blades continued clashing against each other, with Freed making insanely fast movement. At the moment, Freed slashed upward and completely shattered Kiba's sword slicing it in hld. Kiba looked in shock at the piece shattered sword was falling on the ground. Freed charged at him but was stopped when a figure came in and clashed their own sword with him.

"What the fuck?" Freed cursed out loud.

"I'm just passing by the street until I heard something metallic clashing around this area." A very calm voice said, pushing the Stray Priest a bit with his strength. "And what a surprise to see a that my junior is being attacked by-"

"Yusuke-senpai..." Kiba muttered as he looked at the black haired teen with a sheathed sword in his hand.

"Greetings, Yuuto." Yusuke smiled before kicking the priest away. "Explanation later. I'll deal with this priest."

"I'm gonna cut you into pieces!" Freed shouted.

"Let's us beat that rubbish mentality into submission." Yusuke said as the priest slashing his sword downwards and he intercepted the attack with his sheathed katana. As Freed was pushing down the attack, Yusuke's started to release a demonic aura that started distorting the air around us. "I didn't need to unsheathe this weapon in other to beat you into pulp."

"Waah! Why the heck you decide to help this devil?"

"He's my junior and it's my duty as his senior to protect them...even if they aren't fully human."

Yusuke pushed Freed away from him and he charged at Freed with his katana. Freed clicked his tongue and pulled a round object from his pocket.

"This isn't over!" Freed shouted before throwing the object on the ground and it generated a powerful flash of light, it blinded Yusuke for an instant while the priest vanished away. Yusuku sighed in relief as he looked at Kiba who was still shocked by event.

"Need a hand?" Yusuke asked while stretching his hand out for the devil. Kiba looked down at the hand before looking at his savior who gave him a trusting look. Kiba sighed in defeat and accepted it before being pulled up from the ground by his senior. "I believe I deserve some explanation from my junior."

Kiba nodded his head. "Very well, Yusuke-senpai..."

(Y/N)'s POV

Later that night, Rias, Asia, Issei and me returned home with both of us males were filled with questions and Rias made sure to answer us to the best of her ability. Right now, all of us were in my room as Asia, Issei and me sitting on my bed while Rias took the desk chair. Blair was on my lap, meowing and slightly moaned when I petting her. Bill has his back leaned against wall as he looked at us.

"The Holy Sword Project?" All of us questioned the red-haired Heiress.

"Yes," Rias nodded her expression sorrowful. "Some years back, there existed a project with the purpose of forcefully creating children capable of wielding the Holy Sword Excalibur. Kiba...was the sole survivor of that project."

Asia looked shaken. "I...never heard of this. The Church actually did something like that?"

Rias sighed. "I'm afraid so. You see, as the name implies, Holy Swords are the ultimate weapons against devils. If we, the devils, touch the Holy Sword then we will burn ourselves. If we get cut by it, then we will be terminated without trace. It could be called the ultimate weapon for those who believe in God and see devils as an enemy."

"Well, that sound fantastic." I sarcastically said, rolling my eye.

"Even though there are numerous Holy Swords originating from all over the world, I still think the famous one would be Excalibur. Even in Japan, it comes up in many books. It's a Holy weapon that is created through means of magic and alchemy by those who reach the territory of God. But Holy Swords choose their wielders. I hear that only one person in a decade or so gets chosen."

"It will be ironic if a Holy Sword choose a Devil." I told them.

"Totally," Issei nodded his head in agreement. "I mean, what in a million chance we got a Holy swords bestowed upon both of us devil. Speaking of, Kiba is a Sacred Gear possessor that can create demonic-swords, right? So isn't there a Sacred Gear that can create Holy Swords instead?"

"It's not like there aren't. But if you compare it to the Holy Swords that already exist, it is kind of lacking." Rias continues. "Of course I'm not saying it's weak. Among them there is a sacred utensil included in the Longinus, just like your Boosted Gear. Kiba was one of those who received training to adapt to the Holy Swords, Excalibur in particular."

"Then...is Kiba able to use one?" Asia asked.

Rias shook her head. "No, Kiba was never able to adapt. And for those who weren't able to adapt...were disposed of. Killed."

"K...Killed...?" Asia gasped, placing her hands over her mouth in horror. "...It can't be. It's not an acceptable act by those who serve God."

They the people of the Church, calls us devils an evil existence, but I think the bad intentions of the humans are the greatest evil in this world." Issei scowled in anger as he clenched his fist.

"There are some people who allow their overwhelming faith cloud their humanity." I shook my head while trying to calm Asia's down by rubbing her back. "By the way Rias, did Kiba ever lost someone he cared about?"

Rias looked at me with a surprised expression and looked away. "I don't know what your..."

"I can see him in his eyes, Rias. Every time he looked at me and my brother, he would start staring with jealousy, pain and sadness. So, I deducted that he lost someone close to him in his life and possibly...a twin..."

"Wait, what?" Issei jaw hanged in shock at my suggestion. "You telling me that Kiba have a twin just like us?"

"Great...what is matter with me having to stick around with twins?" Bill sighed in frustration.

"Alright fine geez." Rias sighed in defeat. "In the entire Holy Sword Project there was one exception. There was a girl who was able to adapt for one of the Holy Sword and was immediately taken away. Kiba's sister, well...twin sister."

"'WHAT?"" Both of Asia and Issei exclaimed, currently in shock by the news.

"Told you." I said, feeling sorry about Kiba lose. I will be the same if I were in his position if I lost Issei...Even he's a pervert, he's still my blood-related brother. "What happened to her?"

Rias shook her head with a slightly sad expression on her face. "After I reincarnated Kiba as a Devil, he has adamant, about going back for her. When I finally agreed, but when we got back there....she wasn't there. There wasn't a single trace of her anywhere inside of that facility and whenever he saw you and Issei, he was instantly reminded of her."

"Well, damn..." Issei said, feeling the same way as I am.

[Timeskip]

After school in middle of forest, I decided to take a stroll...scratch that, I was currently searching for that rascal Kokichi as he pulled another one of his prank by dyeing my hair white paint. "When I got my hands on that brat, I'm gonna make sure that the Shrekening is not the only mindfuck up in my sleeves." I gritted my teeth out of frustration.

"How the hell he got away with all this pranks on you?" Bill laughed as he pointed at me. "I love that kid."

"I fucking hate that kid..."

"Who are you?" A girl's voice coming from behind me. We both turned around and saw a blonde haired girl wearing a robes.

"And you are?" I asked, raising my eyebrow in confusion.

"White hair, in his late teens...are you Freed Selzen?"

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

"DON'T COMPARE ME TO THAT PSYCHOPATIC HERETIC WEIRDO!" I yelled at her while Bill start to burst out of laughter.

"Man, I didn't notice that...You do looked like him with those white hair!" Bill pointed out as he fall to the ground, holding his stomach.

"I-I'm sorry, but don't yell at me!" She yelped.

I gritted my teeth in frustration. Bill stopped laughing when we both sensed a destructive aura coming from behind us. I quickly react by entering Cipher mode when suddenly a giant broadsword passed through me including the owner. The sword hits the ground, creating a massive craters as I gulped.

"That could've been me..." I sighed in relief. "Thank you intangibility....I'm not catching a break this week."

I turn my attention to my attacker and noticed that it was a girl in my range of age with blue hair and a green fringe.

"Who are you?" She demanded, pointing her sword at me. "And what were you doing with Yuki? And most importantly, how can I phased through your body like it was nothing?"

"Shouldn't I be asking that to the girl who attacked me first?" I scowled a bit.

"I asked you first...White-Haired Heretic."

"Don't call me a White-Haired Heretic! You Blue-Haired Heretic!"

"Don't call me a Blue Haired Heretic!"

Both of us started shooting glares towards each other until sparks flying between us.

"Are you even a heretic to begin with?" Bill deadpanned at me.

"Xenovia, Yuki-chan." I froze after hearing that familiar voice as I slightly turned, my head and saw a girl in my age with chestnut hair tied in twin tails and violet eyes. "Why are you fighting..." She looked at me with confused expression on her face like she recognized me, but she couldn't recognize my painted white hair and the blue flames in my left eye. "I'm sorry, but you look like someone I-"

"Iri-Chan?" I called, getting out from my Cipher mode.

Irina blinked her eyes several times before pointing at me with a shocked expression on her face. "(Y-Y-Y/N)-Chan?! What happened to your hair and eye?" She exclaimed.

"The eye thing is hard to explain but someone painted my whole damn hair into white! Hang on." I snapped my finger to summon a bucket of water....but I got a whole waterfall appeared on top of me instead, drenching me with waters and dissolves the white paint on my hair. "Not what I was hoping for but still works..." I sighed in frustration before summoning a dry towel and cleaned up my wet hair. While cleaning my hair, I looked towards Irina with a sincere smile on my face. "Well, I didn't expect to see you-"

Before I could finish, I was immediately tackled to the ground by Irina, and she wrapped her arms around me tightly. "I missed you so much (Y/N)-chan!"

I started blushing a deep shade of red as Irina continued hugging me tighter and tighter, I smiled and started hugging her back. "But your aim is getting better. Jokes aside, I also miss you...By the way," I reached into my pocket and pulled out a silver cross from my pocket and her expression brightened.

"You still have that?"

"Yea, I did promise I'd never let it go until I saw you again."

Irina smiled and started rubbing her cheek up against mine causing me to blush a deeper shade of red.

"Wait, isn't that the cross you always wear since that fight with Riser?" Bill asked me.

'Yup.' I mentally answered.

"By the way, childhood love huh?"

'Shut it, one-eye.'

"Not that I want to get in the way of your reunion," The blonde one, Yuki called out. "But what are you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." I apologized to her as we both stood up from the ground. "My name is-"

And thus, the blue haired girl, Xenovia pointed her sword at me with Irina looked at her with shocked expression on her face.

"Ah, Xenovia. What're you doing?" Irina inquired.

"There's no way you're a normal person, I could see the look in his eyes. There wasn't a single ounce of humanity behind them." Xenovia said, shooting me a glare.

"You don't need to point that thing to me, lady!" I shivered a bit from the sight of the sword as it let out a holy aura. Even Bill sensed it as he glares at the lady. "Well, I'm not a normal human being anymore...I'm a Devil now." The three girls looked at me with a shocked expression on their faces, mostly Irina as she looked at me in disbelief.

"T-There's no way..." Irina said with a teary eyes. "(Y/N)-chan wouldn't do such a thing right...?"

"Unfortunately...I died." I sighed in frustration, feeling bad that I made my childhood friend cried. "I was reincarnated not by my own will..."

"I see." Xenovia aimed her weapon at me. "Shall I banish you from this world of all the sins of being a devil?"

"I'm not that depress of being reincarnate into one, lady!" I shouted at the woman before looking at Irina who had her hair covering her eyes. "Hey, are you alright-"

"I don't mind." She raised her head a little with a sad smile. "You still the (Y/N)-chan that I knew and that makes me happy..."

I gave her a smile before dodging a sword swing by the blue-haired lady. "The fuck woman? Didn't you heard that she's alright with this?!"

"You still a devil, none the less." She gave me a cold glare.

"Xenovia, we shall ignore this one for once, alright?" Irina smiled at her friend as Xenovia reluctantly looked at her and sheathed her weapon.

"Well, this have been the most awkward reunion ever." I nervously laughed. "So, why're you here besides attacking me, almost kill me, and calling me a White-Haired Heretic for no damn reason?"

They looked at each other momentarily before Yuki started talking. "It wouldn't be a good for us believer to share such an important information to our mortal enemies." Yuki glanced at the chesnut-haired girl and smile. "But since you're Iri-chan's friend, we will make an exception. There were three Excalibur swords were stolen from three of our bases. We tracked it to a group that are in this town."

"Interesting." I nodded my head slowly. "I reckon that Freed is behind this heist?"

"Precisely."

"So, I'm guessing that you guys are going to talk to the Devil in charge of this town. If you are then you should probably know that it's not a good idea to threaten a Devil King's little sister. Especially the one carrying the name 'Lucifer'."

"Somewhere in this universe, a man who owned a bar sneezed." Bill chuckled slowly as I looked at him with a raised eyebrows. "Don't mind me. Carry on."

"I understand that, it's not like I'm going to attack her." Xenovia told her as she crossed her arms.

"Oh, so you just attack random strangers taking a stroll after school in the middle of the forest?" I sarcastically asked as she looked at me with a slightly irked expression on her face. "Well whatever, if you want to meet her then I can arrange that. I'll give you the address of the school we're attending and you can come there after school."

"Okay, (Y/N)-chan." Irina chirped as she was looking at me sweetly. I blushed lightly before my attention was later caught towards Yuki who appearance greatly resembled Kiba's.

"W-Why are you staring at me like that?" Yuki noticed that I was stuck staring at her and she looked at me shyly.

"(Y/N)-chan! Why are you looking at Yuki-Chan?!" Irina glares at me, puffing her cheek a little.

"I'm sorry Yuki, but do you have a twin brother?" I asked.

Yuki was deeply taken back by what I just said, her hands started shaking slightly out of sadness and frustration. "H-How do you know that I have a twin brother?"

I then looked towards Xenovia and Irina with a pleading expression on my face. "Can I borrow Yuki for second?"

Both of them were shocked and confused by what I had asked them, though Irina nodded her head in agreement. "U-Uh, sure (Y/N)-chan. But what are you...?"

"I refuse." Xenovia gave me a cold glare. "What if he was lying and took away her purity? I do not trust this devil scum!"

"GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF GUTTER, LADY!" I yelled at her as both of Yuki and Irina blushed from Xenovia accusation. "I have my morality. I'll explain later..." I then pulled out my cellphone and dialed a certain number.

Third Person's POV

Minutes later, Kiba was standing around at the park with curios expression on his face with Yusuke sitting on bench near him. "I wonder why (Y/N) wanted to see me?" He wondered. He then looked toward his senior. "Thank you for accompanying me."

"Don't mention it." Yusuke waved his hand nonchalantly. "I just want to make sure that nothing like last night happened today."

"B-Brother?" Kiba's eyes widened as he heard a girl's voice, he turned his head slowly as he saw a familiar person standing behind him. Tears started going down his face as he saw that girl looking back at him with tears rolling down her face.

"A-Andrea?" He muttered.

Yuki bottom lip started to quivers and tears started rolling down her face uncontrollably, without hesitation she ran over and latched onto Kiba tightly while crying heavy tears. She started to cry uncontrollably into Kiba's, he smiled brightly and started petting Yuki on her head, comforting her. He was instantly remined her of when he always did this when they were little kids.

"There, there everything's alright." Kiba said with a smile on his face. Yuki started to calm down as Kiba petted her head softly, she smiled in response to what he has said.

"I usually go by Yuki nowadays and I hear that you go by Kiba." She said.

"Yea, a lot happens in over five years. But I thought you were..."

"I was in another facility after that day. When I asked if I could visit you the day after it happened...I was told that everyone has..."

Kiba petted her head again, he looked towards a tree after sensing a familiar powerful presence and smiled slightly. "Thank you, (Y/N)."

The mentioned boy was hiding behind the tree with a smile on his face. "Reuniting a brother and sister, that really brightened my day."

"You did the right thing, kid." Bill smirked, standing beside his host. "I'm proud of you."

"Oh, you made me blush." He jokingly said, placing his hands in his pocket and was about to head back to his house.

"Leaving so soon?" A voice called out as he turned around slightly and saw Yusuke leaning on tree beside him. "I knew that you were spying. I can sense your presence. Pretty powerful for a newbie devil."

"I don't want to interrupt their moment." (Y/N) said, shrugging off the fact that the man can sense him. "What are you doing here Yusuke-senpai?"

"I'm on a look out encase if an enemy decide to ruin their moment."

"Such a noble act." The future Dream Demon smirked. "So, you're a devil?"

Yusuke smirked and nodded his head slightly. "A half-blood to be precise." He looked at me. "I'm a hybrid between devil father and a human mother."

"I see..."

"The truth is, I always want to meet you." Yusuke began. "A boy who has potential to be the strongest devil that ever exist. You can even rival God with your power."

"Your point is?" (Y/N) raised his eyebrows at the black-haired boy as he looked at him, dead in the eye.

"I want to be a part of your Peerage." Yusuke told him. (Y/N) was shocked and confused by his demand as the smiles at him. "Don't worry. You don't need to answer it now...just consider it. I promise that I'll be a great asset for your clan. Until then, good bye for now." And with that, the half-devil walked away from the park, leaving a confused (Y/N) as he stood there, thinking deeply about his demand.

(Y/N)'s POV

As I arrived at my house, I noticed that I heard to familiar voices. Once I opened the door, I looked and noticed that Irina and Xenovia were sitting down on the couch in front of her.

"Oh, (Y/N) looks who is back." Mum looked towards me with a smile. "It's your childhood crush, the Prince Charming."

My face started to turn bright red along with Irina as my mum said that without hesitation. "MUM, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SAY THE MOST EMBARRASING THING WHEN THERE ARE GIRLS AROUND?"

My mum looked at me with a smile on her face, while laughing lightly with her hand over her mouth. "Don't be like that (Y/N), she had a crush on you to. She told me herself."

Irina did a spit take and looked at her with a looked a disbelief along with me. "P-P-Please don't mention that while he's standing there!"

"Oh my, young teenage love is a special one. Also, I remembered that you both promise to marry each other when you were young."

We both blushed even harder as I was petrified from her statement. Did I really made that promise when I was young? I think I did!

"Wow, bold move there." Bill chuckled. "You did it with Rias and Koneko when you already planned to marry a girl when you were young? Dick move, kid. A very dick move."

'SHUT IT, DORITO!'

"I'll just leave you two lovebirds to start catching up." Both of keep on blushing as my mum left the room, leaving us in the living room. I sighed and sat down on the couch in front of them, which she apparently sitting on my spot. I guess she remembered and decide to claim it for her own.

"So, (Y/N)-chan." Irina looked at me with a bright smile on her face. "What have you been up to since I left?"

"Well, you better sit on tight cause it's about to get bumpy from my side of story." I cleared my throat. "It's all started when I got a strange dreams..." They both looked at me with a confused expression on their faces, as I continued talking what I went through.

"Wow, (Y/N)-chan." Irina awed, giving me a sympathize smile. "You've been through a lot in just a couple of weeks."

"To conclude the story in a couple of sentence. I become the most awesome, insane, powerful and handsome Dream Demon ever live." I shrugged my shoulder. "Am I right, Bill?"

"Meh, eight of ten." Bill smirked.

"Where's the other two, asshat?"

"In your butthole."

"Oh, you meant by yourself since I thought that you're the two."

"...You learned well..."

"Learned from the best."

"You are really intriguing yet weird individual, (Y/N)." Xenovia said. "You're a devil but acting like a saint...and most of all, you wore a cross on the neck and drink Holy Water...I can't believe you're still breathing."

"I got addicted to it..." I pulled out a flask and chug it down a little. "My opinion of you changed slightly, Xenovia."

"How so?" She tilted her head in confusion.

"First I thought you were some pyscho sword wielding woman who attacks random people taking a stroll in the forest. Now I know you're a girl with her own way of doing things."

Xenovia gained a slight tick mark on her forehead and looked towards me. "Why were you even taking a stroll in the forest anyway with a painted white hair, demon?"

"What? I'm not allowed to take a walk in the woods alone? Also, I was chasing a bastard piece of mine but he escaped. I can't believe I forget about Kokichi after your sudden assault."

"What are you insane?"

"Of course I am. Besides, we live in a world full of Devils, Fallen Angels, Angels, Gods, Yokai, and Dragons. And how's that me walking in the middle of the forest is insane?"

"He does have a point Xenovia." Irina agreed with my statement.

Xenovia looked towards her friend with a slightly irked expression on her face. "Why are you defending your Dream Demon boyfriend, Heretic?"

"I-I-I'm not (Y-Y/N)-chan's g-g-girlfriend..." Irina gained a deep red blush on her face before fidgeting her finger. "W-Well...not...yet...! A-And I'm not a Heretic, you Blue-Haired Heretic!"

"Hahaha," I laughed at them, holding my abdomen. "So, I'm not the first person who called you that!"

"Don't laugh at that!" Xenovia demanded.

The door of my house then opened, revealing a distraught Issei and Asia. They then looked towards the living room and noticed that the girls sitting in front of me.

"It's good to see you again Issei Hyoudou." Issei looked and noticed that Irina was waving at him with a smile on her face. Issei was completely confused by him.

"That's Irina Shidou, you Tits Loving Twat." I gave him a blank looking at the blushing girls in front of me. "Pardon my language, ladies."

"You have no room to call me that, male stripper!" Issei scolded as I spit take when he called me that.

"That was unintentional!" I pointed my finger at him. "I didn't just took off my shirt like I want too."

"Yes, tell that to me after you put on your shirt, one-eyed jerk."

"What are you-" I looked down as my eyes widened in shock. I noticed that I didn't wore any shirt, showing off my build body. Irina started to held cross tightly while Asia eyes glued on my body. "HOW THE FUCK?!"

"Oh, lord...forgive me for having any indecent thoughts of my childhood friend!" Irina prayed as we devils flinched in pain.

"You have well build body, (Y/N)." Xenovia commented. "Makes me want to fight you."

"Shut it woman." I put on a black t-shirt. "Back to the subject matter. This is Irina Shidou, our childhood friend."

"You looked like a boy back then." Issei commented as he looked at Irina with his mouth hanged wide open.

"I'll like to catch up but we need to get going." Irina said as both of Irina and Xenovia stood up as they both bowed down towards me. "Goodbye for now." She leaned forward and planted a kiss on my cheek and walked pass the duo, leaving me dumbfounded by her action. Xenovia glared at her partner and send a glare towards them before following her friend out of the living room.

Issei looked at me with a shocked expression on his face. "Wait, what the fuck was that?"

"It safe to say that Prince Charming still in love with Snow White..." I chuckled, with a blush on my face. My smile then dropped as I realize what I just said. "Okay, that sounds stupid and embarrassing..."

"Yup..."
