(A/N I know so readers were a bit shocked I pulled this trigger, but honestly, it is no different than Asia in the canon. Plus this plot was planned before chapter one, so relax and enjoy the love between Irina and Ray...)
Chapter 79: Irina Shidou, A New Born Devil? by Love-Fan
In a very dark tunnel without any real form or substance, Irina Shidou stood.
In one direction, she saw a brilliant opened elevator with so white and auspicious clouds circling this pure-white and holy device. The bright and pure light is very inviting. Without a doubt, any follower of Heaven knows where it leads. (elevator to Heaven is canon, FYI)
And when Irina looked back from where she ca, she saw Ray Gremory, holding her dead-body, with tears and anger.
Suddenly, Irina felt turmoil in her heart. She should just go to Heaven, right? She has been good all her life, and it is ti to move on.
For so reason, Irina could not move forward, or back. Her heart, seeing Ray, made a regret.
"It is hard to move on when you have unfinished regrets, right?"
"AHH~! Who are you?"
Irina, who was scared out of her wits, saw a middle-aged Japanese man with glasses, and an average nerdy appearance. His clothing looks like it cos from a thrift store, with so ani logos on it. But she can tell this man is very friendly. Irina just now realized how strange eting this man here was and asked who he was.
The man bows like they would in Japan, and tells her.
"Currently, I am called Ishibumi Ichiei, nice to et you Miss Irina Shidou. Just call , Ishibumi."
"Wow, you know who I am? Are you an Angel?"
The man shook his head and pointed to the living world and said cryptically.
"No, I am no longer an Angel, or in Heaven, but a writer. I make stories for mortals. Right now, I am watching Ray Gremory, and seeing what changes he will bring. But you do not have ti to hear my reasons, just listen..."
Irina looks back to the scene in the real world...
-
As Asia is healing Xenovia, enough to be stable, Kiba is carried to her for the next treatnt.
I found a soft spot on so grass and lay down Irina's body.
Soon, my crimson Demonic Power slowly makes a special Summoning Circle for calling the dead. As I place my Knight Evil Piece in-between Irina's breasts, I pour more power into the ritual.
Xenovia, still being healed, sees what I am going to do and says.
"Ray Gremory, stop that now! Irina will never want to be turned into a Devil... She is too pure for that. And it will cause problems with the Church and Underworld."
I smile knowing what Xenovia is saying is true, but...
"This world needs Irina in it, as an Exorcist, as an Angel, or even as a Devil. This world will be less hopeful without her, so please, let be selfish this ti?"
I push forward and start my communication...
"I, Ray Gremory, call upon you, Irina Shidou, to co back as my Devil Servant... I know I need you to live again, and I am sorry for being selfish..."
And because I have never seen a newly dead person being brought back, I do not know how long it takes... The ani with Asia was unclear...
After 1 second... 2 seconds... 10 seconds...
-
Irina, seeing the world of the living, was stunned! She asked.
"Ishibumi-san, what should I do?"
He said while pointing to Heaven.
"That is where you belong, and one day, you will et your mother, and you two will be happy together. And that is the end of your story."
Irina, hearing his words, asked.
"Why won't Papa be there?"
"Because his life choices will not let him join you there."
"What do you an, my story ends?"
"In Heaven, you will just be happy, with no worries, and move on, that is it."
Irina looks torn and sees the ritual being cast, and the words of Xenovia and Ray, so she asks.
"What will happen if I go back? I don't really want to be a Devil though?"
Ishibumi smiles then says.
"Ray did not want to be a Devil as well, and he was a kind person in his last life, like you. So, I cannot promise what will happen if you go back, but I can say with certainty... Your story and Ray's will continue, together. Actually, when I died, I did not want to be a writer, but we all have our roles in this wonderful life. Man, trying to et manuscript deadlines is the Devil's work I tell you, haha."
Irina, seeing Ray wait, hesitated and said.
"Do you know if Ray loves ?"
"Oh, that question I can answer for sure... He does not realize it yet, but he loves you very much, and bringing you back as a Devil is causing guilt. But he cannot let you go without trying, so girl, your ti to choose is running out. And lastly, no matter your choice here, you will not rember our talk. Only your heart will rember. You are one of my fond creations, so good luck girl..."
Then Irina saw the Japanese man vanish, and the dark tunnel began to crack, so her feet ran, to her choice...
-
Just as the 1 minute mark passed, I felt that it failed. As I was reaching to pick up the Knight Piece, it eluded my fingers, as it sank into her body?
As the crimson light covered her, Irina opened her eyes! She saw my stupid expression, and she smiled. Irina said.
"Darling, you called back, right?"
I expected many things from her mouth like... How dare you turn into a Devil, or Ray Gremory I hate you, but not her smiling and calling Darling?!
"I-I did call you... Um, I made you my Devil Servant though? You died, and I wanted you alive, so..."
All of Irina's wounds were healed due to her body becoming a Devil, but her clothing is torn in the chest area.
I watched her stand. She smiled and looked around at all of the destruction. She saw her cross on the ground, and I had to stop her from grabbing it.
"Irina, stop, it will hurt you now, let get it for you."
So I summoned a small jewelry box, and picked up the cross that stung my hand, and I placed it in the box for her, then handed it over, then said.
"I know this is important to you, since you had it as a child, sorry you cannot wear it anymore."
Irina hugged while still holding the small box and she said.
"When I died, I thought I would never see you again, Darling. When I heard your voice, I think God said it was fine to co back."
Feeling Irina hug tight, really is distracting, and I do not have the heart to tell her God is dead, but then I asked her.
"Irina, may I ask why you are now calling Darling? You never did that before?"
Irina put on an Angel's smile and said.
"Just the fact you brought back to life says you love , right?"
Her smile and confidence, and her words really shook my heart, do I really love her? I look into her expecting violet eyes, and I say.
"Darling sounds... Good!"
And as Irina stood on her tiptoes, she gave a small kiss on my lips.
Clap Clap Clap! The two of us failed to realize the rest of the world was still here, and we both look like we will die of sha.
Tsubaki, Mil-tan, Asia, Saji, and Issei all had tears in their eyes and clapped. Only Kiba and Xenovia, who are wounded, and confused did not clap along to sha the two of us.
Issei then quickly did a real bow of apology to Irina and , and said.
"Irina, your death is all my fault, so bla and not Ray for this. And Ray... I really ssed things up... and I am super sorry for being a failure as a friend."
I picked him up and said.
"Issei, you're 17 years old, hot-blooded, and thought you were doing a good thing, this I understand. So learn from this, and try to realize... All of your decisions have real life and death consequences, did you forget how you also reincarnated? You died to an angry Sona?!"
Issei rembers dying to her and shudders!
Then Asia ca over and gave Irina a hug and said.
"It will be nice to have a fellow believer in the peerage~!"
And to prove so things never change... Both girls reflexively pray!
""We are blessed Lord, an~! Ouch...""
Both girls comically grab their heads, and for so reason, this made warm inside.
Asia then said in panic.
"Oh my, Xenovia and Kiba, I am coming to heal, sorry~!"
I picked up Irina's Mimic that Freed could not get in ti, and said to her.
"Well, you are my Knight now, and you need your sword, right? I really am glad you are alive."
With a bright smile, Irina put her Mimic around her upper left-arm like a band, and she nodded.
"Now I am Irina Shidou, A New Born Devil? And I am in the service of my King, Ray Gremory, or as I like to call you... Darling, fufu. I will make Heaven proud of ."
Xenovia, now fully healed, cos to us, and she looks at Irina, and says.
"Well, you are now a Devil, so our partnership has ended. We are now enemies, sigh."
I smile and tell Xenovia.
"Actually, Irina's mission is not over yet. A Knight has to complete their mission, so in a way, the two of you are still going to finish it. Irina, you still want to finish your mission, right?"
Her head nodded and said.
"Xenovia, you cannot let my death be in vain, right? Let's find that Freed and kick is butt!"
Tsubaki, who just made sure Kiba was fully healed by Asia, said to us,
"Ray, let us invite Xenovia over to clean up and rest, we also need to help Irina adjust to her new body. And give her the Gremory mark, my King."
"Thanks for the reminder, and let us walk to the ORC room, call everyone for a eting, and here irina."
I took Irina's right hand and placed my Gremory Crest on the back of her soft hand. She blossod a smile seeing that, and probably had delusional thoughts.
I took Irina's hand in my left, and Tsubaki's in my right, and we all made our way to school.
Not sure how Irina handled it so well, but I will not abandon her. And really, Darling sounds really nice on the heart...
