So Asia, where are you from? If you don't mind me asking," asked Issei, curiously as the two of them walked down the street.
"Oh I'm from Italy," replied the nun, only for both of them to stop as they heard a child crying.
Asia walked over to the sobbing boy who had a cut along his knee and smiled, "if you're a boy, you shouldn't be crying over a little scrap like this."
Issei's eyes widened as he saw a green light surround the sprout out from the nun's hands and surround the boy's injuries before the wound closed itself back up. 'Oi Ddraig is that what I think it is?' he asked with a frown.
[That's right partner, no doubt about it. She has a Sacred Gear.]
"There the wound is gone now. It's completely fine now," assured the blonde.
The boy wiped away his tears and smiled up at her, "thank you Onee-chan."
The boy just ran off while Asia turned back to Issei, "I must have surprised you," she said with a sad smile.
Issei just laughed, "Asia compared to what I deal with on a daily basis, and it'll take more than a Sacred Gear to surprise me."
Asia blinked as she stared at him, "you know about Sacred Gears, Issei?"
The teen nodded and decided to quickly change the topic, "your power is pretty amazing Asia," he complimented.
The nun gave him a pained look that quickly faded to a sad smile as she replied, "they are fantastic powers, bestowed upon me by God."
"Your expression says otherwise," noted Issei with a frown, causing Asia to flinch.
Seeing this Issei sighed before placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder and giving her a warm smile, "if you don't want to talk about it then that's fine. But just remember that I'm always willing to lend an ear if you need it Asia."
A grateful smile spread across Asia's face, "thank you Issei, I'm really glad I got to meet someone as nice and gentle as you as soon as I got to Japan."
"Is this your first time here?" asked the teen curiously, only to grin and grab Asia's hand as she nodded in reply.
"In that case let me show you around the place, I'll show you the best places around here," offered Issei eagerly, trying to bring back the happy atmosphere they had both shared.
Asia nodded and Issei smiled as the two of them headed into the shopping district, causing the teen to wonder just how Asia had grown up as a child. She was clearly baffled by even the most common things, seriously who doesn't know how to eat a Cheeseburger? To make matters worse she couldn't read any Japanese, much to Issei's shock.
"Asia who taught you to speak Japanese? They were obviously a terrible teacher if they didn't bother teaching you to read and write it," scoffed Issei as the duo walked into the park.
"They decided that all I needed to know was how to speak it, so they didn't teach me your writing system," answered the nun.
"That's odd, well don't worry I'll teach you," smiled Issei as he began writing down the basic hiragana in the dirt.
The duo then spent the next hour teaching Asia the basics of the hiragana writing system, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere until the nun gave a soft sigh. "Issei, can I tell you a story?" asked Asia, quietly.
The teen just raised an eyebrow as he looked at the nun in confusion and frowned as he saw her sad expression, "sure Asia, like I said I'm all ears."
The nun just looked sadly at the setting sun, "once upon a time there was a girl who wanted nothing more than to help others. Then one day she found that she had been given a gift from God, a power to help all those who needed it."
"In gratitude the girl devoted her life to serving God. Her fellow believers, believing her to be a miracle of the Lord, hid her away from others so that they couldn't hurt their Holy Priestess. Cutting her off from the very people she wanted to help," continued Asia as Issei remained silent.
"Day after day she was left in isolation; her only comfort was found in prayer to her Lord. But even then, not even her faith could fight off the depressing loneliness that pressed down on her, no one to talk to, no friends to have fun with. Eventually she gave in, and left her shelter to see the outside world, her faith wasn't strong enough to pass that trial," said Asia and the teen saw her eyes begin to water.
A single tear rolled down the nun's cheek, "along the way she found an injured man, no an injured Devil, someone that was meant to be her enemy…and she healed him. Her fellow believers saw this and were shocked, there was no way that any gift from God would heal a Devil. They cast her out, calling her a witch and a heretic, it wasn't her fault she just wanted to help!"
Issei just stared at the nun and his eyes widened as the image of the crying Asia was replaced by the sight of a sobbing girl in a purple kimono with fox ears and a tail.
"That damn Demon Fox! Find it and kill it, now!" screamed a man as Mizukume heard the growls of the hunting hounds getting louder.
'Why? Why did this happen? She only wanted to serve others, to help them, she didn't ask to become like this. She didn't poison her beloved Toba! Why wouldn't they believe her?' she cried as pain travelled up her legs from her bleeding feet.
'They said they cared for her, said that they would protect her, that they would take care of her. They said that they loved her! So why did they betray her like that? Can't they see it? It wasn't her fault he was sick!' sobbed Mizukume, only to fall over in the mud as she tripped.
"You have come a long way," stated a male voice.
"What a rough journey you had," commented another voice.
Picking herself up from the ground Mizukume looked around and spotted two foxes staring at her with amusement.
"Don't mock me! Why can't you understand what I'm feeling? Why can't you just offer me some sympathy?" she ordered, angrily.
"If that is your wish milady Amaterasu," they replied in unison.
"Amaterasu?" murmured the fox girl before she groaned as sealed memories returned in a massive rush of images.
That's right she remembered now, her fascination with humans. Her wish to use her powers for justice, her desire to understand the enigma that is humans. To know what it felt like to devote herself to someone else, to feel the joy her followers do, the dreams of a childish Goddess.
"Aah, what a fool I was," she sighed.
Indeed, it was foolish to think that a deity could live among her subjects, humans by their nature are afraid of what they don't understand. Even though she did nothing wrong, they betrayed her and hunted her down like an animal.
The fox spirit looked up as a group of armed men approached her crying form, "Tamamo No Mae, you are hereby sentenced to death for instigating rebellion and attempting to murder the Emperor. Men, kill the Fox Demon!"
A group of armed humans against a facet of a Goddess, the outcome was inevitable and all the humans were slaughtered to the last. Tamamo just looked at the carnage she'd inflicted with horror, she tried to reason with the others but hatred now filled their minds. For three straight days and nights they rained arrows down on her, their arrows blotting out the sun and moon.
Covered in her own blood Tamamo looked up as another volley of arrows were incoming, "I wasn't trying to fool anyone. I'll leave now so please just forget all about me."
Just before the volley hit a single tear ran down her face, "it wasn't my fault…I just wanted to help."
