Semi-Self-Mutilation

If I'd Known I'd Been Unable To Walk Let Alone Stand, I'd Have Never Inflicted So Many Cuts With The Light-Based Energy Weapons Of The Angels and Fallen Angels. I Was Breathing Heavy and Trying To Heal Myself, But Didn't Have The Proper Knowledge Or The Constitution To Do So, and I Was Seriously Regretting Not Adding Regeneration To The List Of Vessel Traits, But Since I Had No Means Of Leaving, I Had Far Greater and More Pressing Concerns. "Well, Well, Well, If It Isn't Michael Belial, What Exactly Do You Think Your Doing In My Territory?" Says A Gorgeous Voice Belonging To A Busty Beauty Named Rias Gremory. "Getting My Ass Handed To Me By A Fallen Angel and Failing To Save A Potential Peerage Member. That Boy, He Had A Longinus, He Was Too Far Gone Before I Could Reincarnate Him, and I Barely Managed To Save The Sacred Gear." I Tell Rias.

"You Know, It Occur's To Me I Don't Actually Know Much About You, Just Why Were You In My Territory At All?" Asks Rias. "Do I Have To Tell You? I Mean I'd Normally Tell You Anything, Including Who I Truly Am, Well At Least In Part, Man's Got Have Some Sort Of Mystery To Him. But Just What Is It You Do Know Of Me?" I Ask Her. "I Know That Until Recently Nobody Not Even The Belial Clan Knew Who You Were, I'm Also Aware That Someone Has Been Meddling Behind The Scenes, and Not The Usual Sort Of Meddlers." Says Rias. "God Bless Ichiei Ishibumi, He Made The Right Choice With You." I Say Softly. "You Have Something You Want To Say?" Asks Rias. "When People Look Upon You, What Do The Notice First, and I'm Not Speaking Bust Size Here?" I Ask Resisting The Urge To Do Just That. "Well, If Not That, My Hair I Guess." Says Rias. "Just They Would With Me, Gremory Family Has Red Hair, But What Family Of Note Besides The Legally Extinct House Of Your Sister-In-Law Has Silver Hair?" I Ask Her, Pushing Her To An Answer Before She Can Realise.

"wait You Can't Possibly Mean The Lucifer Family?" Asks Rias. "I'm Afraid I Do, Now Then, We'll Need To Continue This Discussion Later, Hauser Is Gonna Gut Me Like An Angel If I Don't Get Back. But Fair Warning, There's A Group Of Fallen Angels Hunting Down Rare Sacred Gear Users, I Know Of At Least One Still Living Target." I Say. "Who?" Asks Rias. "I Was Going To Reincarnate Her Tonight, In Order To Protect Her, But I Think We Can Both Agree I'm Not Going Anywhere Without Help, Your Help. Her Name's Asia Argento, A Kind Young Girl, Thrown From The Church Because She Healed A Member Of The Astaroth Clan Who Was Injured." I Say. "I Can Work With That." Says Rias. "Rias Listen......This Girl, She's Special, If I Can't Reincarnate Her, Then You Must, Otherwise She'll Never Be Safe." I Say As Rias Nods, Before Helping Me Walk Away....
