AN: Ok this rewrite was well received so I will continue on with it then. Also to the reviewer who asked if Raziel will teach Issei, I will say that your question will partially be answered in this chapter and also I guess their relationship will be like the one Issei had with Ddraig in Canon.

"WHAT!" they all shouted confusing Issei as to why they were so surprised at the name.

"Is something wrong?" Issei asked confused. Azazel sighed as he rubbed his face.

"Kid your just one big mystery aren't ya?" Azazel said with a sigh. Issei tilted his head confused as to what Azazel meant.

"What I mean is your're a wielder of a lost Longinus that hasn't been seen yet, you can turn Fallen Angels back into pure Angels, and now you have been gifted with a part of Ophis's power." He said glad that he was the first one to run into Issei.

"Is Ophis someone special?" Issei asked. The four other people in the room nodded with a serious face.

"Yes she is the second strongest being in existence." Tamiel said being the one to answer him. Issei sat there with a shocked face, although he was still to young to grasp the depths of what she meant he knew that the girl he met was really strong.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing though as she usually does not care about the worlds affairs. I am just wondering why she gifted you with power." Azazel said curious. Then a magic circle appeared next to his head and someone voice drifted through it.

"Alright just trace the point where I am at and teleport here." Azazel said to the circle. Issei, Penemue, Tamiel, and Sariel were curious to who he was speaking to. The circle moved from Azazel's head and onto the floor.

Then it shined and from it emerged two people. The three girls gasped in shock at the sight of the two people, one male and one female. The male was a blonde man with green eyes and a kind smile dressed in white bulky robes. He had twelve golden wings on his back and a halo above his head. This was Michael the first Archangel and the leader of the Heaven faction.

The second was a person who held the title of the most beautiful women. She had long silky blonde hair and kind green eyes. She wore a white thin tunic that hugged her body and had golden accents on it. Ten white wings were on her back along with a halo above her head. This was Gabriel one of the four great Seraphs. (I have a picture of what she looks like on my profile. She is the cover image for my bleach story called 'Open the Gate of Heaven, Bring all to Purgatory'.).

"Michael, Gabriel! It's so good to see you again." Sariel said regarding them with a smile having missed her siblings.

"You as well Sariel." Gabriel said going to her and hugging as she missed her as well. Michael just looked on with a kind smile before his eyes wondered over to Issei. They locked eyes and Issei once again went in a trance much to the confusion of everyone in the room as they only thought it would happen with Fallen. Issei got up and put a hand on Michael's head who bent down for him to do so. Once he did a white light traveled from Issei's hand into Michael. He glowed for a second before it died down and Issei came out of his trance only this time he didn't look tired.

"What just happened?" Penemue asked confused.

"I think Issei just did whatever he did to us to prevent us from falling." Azazel said getting understanding nods.

"Ok but usually he is tired after he does that?" Tamiel asked next.

"I think it's because he converted us from fallen to pure again." Azazel answered again.

"I see that brings up another question why have our halo's not reappeared yet?" Sariel asked curious about that.

"I can answer that actually." Michael said. "Remember the last thing an angel must do before earning their Halo was to walk through the gates of heaven. I am sure you just need to re walk through the gate." Michael informed her getting an Oh.

"Well that may take some time as it will be a slow process integrating our two factions back together." Azazel said and they all nodded. Issei had just been quietly sitting there after doing the same thing to Gabriel that he did to Michael.

"Which brings us to why we're here." Gabriel said coming back into the conversation.

"For his great deeds in being the bridge the will reunite Heaven we have decided to reincarnate Issei with the brave saint system. With Azazel's permission of course since he found him first. Also Azazel suggested that he stay with the Grigori as a sign of trust between our factions and so that he can continue making fallen pure again." Michael informed the three girls. Issei was actually excited as he thought their wings were pretty.

"What card are you going to use?" Sariel asked.

"We figured he may be too strong for a normal card so Gabriel will use her Joker card." Michael said and with that Gabriel approached Issei with a kind smile as she pulled out a golden playing card from a cross.

"Would you like to be my Angel Issei-kun?" she asked him.

Issei nodded excitedly. "Yes that would be great because then I could fly and show Iri-kun!" Issei said excitedly. Then as if remembering something his face turned to horror. "Oh no Iri-kun! I forgot he was supposed to come see me today with his parents!" Issei said in horror.

Everyone looked confused except for Azazel. "Issei became friends with a human girl named Irina. She was coming with her parents today to adopt him. I took him though because they were a human family and Issei would have attracted a lot of supernatural attention." Azazel explained getting looks of realization from everyone there. Though Michael had an inquisitive look on his face.

"Ehhhh Iri-kun is a girl?" Issei asked confused. Then as if realization dawned on him he put his fist onto the palm of his hand. "Ohhh so that's why she screamed when I got naked and jumped into the pond." Issei said before he blushed realizing he flashed a girl. Everyone there laughed at him at that.

"By chance do you mean Irina Shidou?" Michael asked. Issei looked at Michael with a surprised face.

"Yea that's her last name how did you know?" Issei asked. Michael smiled then.

"Then Azazel this is a lucky coincidence. Her parents are exorcist for the church and they were moving to Vatican City actually since Irina was to be trained to be one. They could still adopt Issei here since he would still need someone to look after him." Michael explained. Issei looked really happy at this.

"Yea that would be good since I am not good with kids." Azazel said.

"He better make sure to visit us though." Tamiel said pouting.

"Tamiel he will still be a part of the Grigori so he will be visiting all the time." Azazel informed them. The three girls released a sigh of relief at that as they had become rather attached to the small boy.

"Alright it's time to reincarnate him." Gabriel said. Issei then got into a praying position on his knees as she informed him to. Gabriel then placed the golden Joker card on his chest and it sunk into him.

Then all of a sudden Issei glowed a blinding gold light and it escaped his eyes and mouth as he looked to the sky.

"What's happening!" Sariel shouted worried for Issei.

"It's most likely a side effect from having Raziel sealed into his soul!" Azazel shouted back.

Then the light died down to reveal a shocking sight. Issei was floating in front of them with twelve wings on his back and a golden halo above his head. His eyes though still were covered by a golden light.

"Do not worry about the young one." Issei spoke in a matured male voice.

"Who are you?" Penemue asked with narrowed eyes.

"Ahh Penemue still as beautiful as ever." Issei said looking at her with a kind smile.

"Your Raziel aren't you?" Tamiel asked piecing things together and by the knowing look on Azazel's and Michael's faces she knew she was right.

Issei/Raziel then looked at Tamiel. "Yes Tamiel I am Raziel. Do not worry about Issei disappearing though as I can see it on all of your faces. His reincarnation just temporarily forced our souls together since they were now the same type sort of like a magnet. Now that he is an Angel he will slowly gain my memories over time, and I will train him as well. The power of an Archangel is to stay though. So he will need to be taught to control it." Raziel said directing the last part to Azazel and Michael who nodded.

"I can feel my consciousness fading so I will tell you one last thing. You were right Azazel Issei is a failsafe in god's system. Before he died he took apart of his power and had it seek a worthy host to one day rejoin the angels together." Raziel said before Issei passed out his wings returning to his back while his halo stayed.

"I see. Father was the only person capable of returning a fallen's purity to them. He left behind that aspect before he died to help us even after his death." Gabriel muttered.

"Yes. Well we will take out leave now. I will contact you Azazel when I have informed Mr and Mrs. Shidou of the situation." Michael said. Azazel nodded and then Gabriel and Michael left.

"The power balance of the factions are going to shift you know? Three Archangels and the Ten Seraphs back together again." Sariel said once they left.

"Yes but it won't be public for a while hopefully." Azazel said. Then he left the room leaving the three girls alone with Issei.

With Michael

He had just left the Grigori and traced where the Shidou's currently were. He found them packing to move from there house to leave for Vatican City.

Descending down they looked up shocked to see who visited them and bowed down before him.

"Lord Michael, why have you graced us with your presence?" Mr. Shidou asked. Irina was in between the two parents bowed along with them though she looked depressed.

"I have come to inform you that the child young Irina wished to take you to earlier has become an angel and joined Heavens faction. I was wondering if you still wish to adopt him?" Michael asked. They looked shocked at the fact that the sweet boy that befriended their daughter was now an angel. Irina looked ecstatic.

Mr. and Mrs. Shidou looked at each other before looking at an extremely happy Irina before turning to Michael. "We would be honored to raise him Lord Michael." they said smiling knowing that the poor boy would have a chance with a loving family. They had felt sorry for the boy when Irina told them his story.

"I am glad although now that you will be raising him there are a few secret you will be entitled to that surround him." Michael said seriously. They looked confused but nodded their heads.

"Let's head inside so that I may inform you. Of course this information must not be allowed to get out." he informed them and they nodded and lead him into their soon to be ex-home.

3 weeks later

Irina was excited. Why you ask? Because today her best friend gets to move in with her and her family. She was really sad when she couldn't find him at the park or the abandoned church when she went looking for him with her family, but then Lord Michael said he became an angel! The very aspect of purity! He then informed him that when Issei could control his new power he would be allowed to live with them, and that was today! Which was whys he was so excited as she waited outside her house to see her friend along with her parents.

Then the clouds above them parted and down came four people. The first two was an older male and an older female. They were Michael and Gabriel both with all of their wings out. The third was another older male in the form of Azazel with white wings and now a halo above his head. That was still a shock to them when they were told by Michael that Issei had the power to purify fallen angels and reunite Heaven again.

The fourth was a young male in between them. He was dressed in a small white robe that showed all of the tattoos on his body, and had four golden bangles on him. Two on his wrist and two on his ankles (Lucemon from Digimon except he does not have the mini wings). The shocking thing though were the twelve wings on his back. They may have been informed beforehand but it was still shocking to see a third Archangel in person and one so young at that.

Irina just looked at Issei with tears and launched herself at him as soon as he landed and swept him up in a hug. He looked so much healthier now and she was happy to see her friend well again. Issei hugged her back with a tearful smile as well as he missed her.

When they separated she noticed Issei rub the back of his head with a sheepish look before he bowed to her. "Ehh why are bowing to me Issei-kun? If anything I should bow before you because of your status." she said surprised.

"I am sorry for not knowing you were a girl." was what he said causing her to blink a couple of time before shouting. "EHHHHH! You didn't know?" she asked confused. All of the older people were chuckling at the scene.

"Yea I didn't." he said getting back up and looking at her with a sheepish look. Irina formed a pout and crossed her arms. "Mou for not knowing I was a girl your punishment is to take me flying." she said. Issei looked at her and nodded happily. "Of course." he said.

Irina then looked at Issei's halo. "Uhm if you're going to be living with us shouldn't you hide that? I mean I know we are in Vatican City and everything but there are still normal humans here." she said poking it causing Issei to sweat drop.

"Actually our halo's have a spell that hides them from anybody unaware of the supernatural. So only the high-ranking priest and exorcist should notice it." Michael informed them. Irina nodded understanding. Then Michael gave some cash to Mr. and Mrs. Shidou.

"It's for some clothes for Issei. The reason he is wearing that is because that's all we had in heaven." Michael said sheepishly noticing their confusion. They thanked and Michael walked to Issei and rubbed his head before ascending back to Heaven. Azazel came to his next and smirked at him. "I'll be sure to inform Sariel, Tamiel, and Penemue of your whereabouts. I will also call you when I need you next." he said before he bumped fist with Issei and teleported away.

Gabriel came and hugged him as she had gotten close to him since he was technically apart of her peerage and she was one of the ones to help train him to control his power. The bangles he wore actually diminished his aura to not leak out so much and until he could control it he couldn't remove them. "I will see you soon my little angel." she giggled at him before ascending as well.

With that began Issei Shidou's new life with his new family. He took on their last name since they were the ones to adopt him and show him a loving family. He also didn't want his father's last name having a small amount of resentment for him.

Issei spent the next 8 years of his life happily living with the Shidou's, training with heaven and the Grigori as well as performing missions for them when he became 13.

He also noticed that around when they turned thirteen Irina began acting weird around and him and was becoming more girly and prettier. Mr. and Mrs. Shidou would always have knowing smiles on their faces when he would point this out but they never told him anything about it.

A month after he turned 16 Michael appeared before him. Issei's appearance had changed a little with his height being average but he still maintained his handsome appearance as was noted by a lot of girls he knew. He was dressed in what he normally wears which was a white button up shirt and black slacks with black shoes. "Yes Michael?" Issei asked once he seen him. Issei had gotten used to addressing him normally since Michael told him to because they had the same rank. Along with the fact that he was addressed as a superior by every other angel. The female fallen angels especially addressed him abnormally, since he had by now converted most of the Grigori back into pure angels. A few rogue fallen left though with Kokabiel who wanted nothing to do with heaven.

"I have a long term mission for you." Michael began and Issei nodded. "I need you to go to Kuoh, Japan and investigate the rogue fallen angels that have appeared there. It would also seem a dragon type sacred gear has been found there and Azazel wants you to look into it as well. Since this is long term we have provided you with a house there along with transcripts for you to attend school there." Michael informed him.

Issei nodded showing he accepted. "What about Irina?" Issei asked worried how she would take him leaving. Michael smiled sadly. "She is unfortunately required for missions here with her partner Xenovia." he replied and Issei sighed. Him and Irina were really close so he knew she would not take his departure well.

"Alright when do I leave?" he asked.

"As today is Saturday you will leave tomorrow and attend school Monday." Michael said. Issei nodded.

"Alright ill pack my stuff then. See ya later I need to inform Irina." Issei said waving as he walked back inside his shared house with the Shidou's. Michael nodded and ascended back into heaven.

Walking back into his house he walked upstairs and knocked on Irina's door. It opened to reveal his beautiful best friend. She had violet eyes and long chestnut brown hair tied into twin tails. Her breast were a modest size not overly huge like some people he knew.

"Hey Issei-kun I felt Lord Michael's presence, another mission?" she asked as she let him in her room. She was wearing a yellow blouse with jean shorts. Issei smiled sadly something which Irina noticed instantly.

"Yes. I am going on a long term mission to Japan tomorrow. I don't know when it will end and Michael said you were needed here." He informed her. Irina looked sad at this. "I see." she muttered and her hair shadowed her eyes.

Seeing that Issei quickly hugged her. "Don't worry I will finish it as fast as I can so that I can return to you!" he said quickly. Irina looked up at him with a tearful frown before she had a burst of courage and kissed Issei full on the lips. Issei surprised froze in shock before he calmed down and kissed her back wrapping his arms around her as she did the same.

Breaking apart she looked up at him with a tearful smile. "I love you Issei." she said before she buried her head into his chest hiding her embarrassment.

"Ohh that's why you started acting all weird when you turned 13." muttered Issei realizng that she was developing feelings for him. Then remembering the situation, he put his hand on her chin and raised her head to make him look her in the eyes. Giving her a beautiful smile he replied. "I love you to.". (Was really tempted to end it here but it did not hit my minimum word count yet.).

Irina blushed and smiled as she hugged Issei really tightly after hearing that. "I am so glad I got that off my chest before you left." she said as she hugged him.

"Want to help me pack?" he asked. She giggled and nodded as they left her room to head for his to help Issei pack for his trip, never knowing they had two amused parents listening in on everything that happened.

"Took long enough didn't it?" Mrs. Shidou said.

"Yea should I do the whole protective father role since I am technically the father of both of them?" Mr. Shidou asked his wife. She smiled and swatted his arm. "Oh lighten up their teenagers let them have their cutesy love." she said. Mr. Shidou smirked and kissed his wife before going to prepare dinner as he was the better cook.

Sunday evening Kuoh, Japan

Issei sighed as he placed the last box in his house that he had all to his self. It was a nice four-bedroom house equipped with all the essentials. He had no idea why they gave him such a big house but he didn't mind it. Now all he had to do was unpack his stuff into a room and he would be set.

Just then a magic circle appeared in his living room before two girls emerged from it. They were identical twins. They had violet eyes and chestnut brown hair tied into a ponytail that hung off opposite sides of their heads. Their names were Sano and Uno and were a year younger than Issei(From Plastic Nee-san.). They were the daughters of Azazel who had a fling with a woman and she passed away three years ago and the girls appeared before Azazel a week after. Both had six wings and both had their halo's.

They had dubbed themselves as Issei's personal assistants and mission team mates when they met him two weeks after joining the Grigori. Azazel didn't know how to feel about that as he had assumed the role as a loving eccentric father to them much to their embarrassment. It leads to many funny situations with Azazel jealousy pouting as Issei left the Grigori building out on an assignment with Sano and Uno following him. They were currently dressed in yellow summer tops and short shorts.

"Sano, Uno what are you doing here?" Issei asked and then he noticed the bags they brought with them and deadpanned.

They both had an innocent look on their faces before they put on a tearful hopeful look. "We can't deal with our father's eccentric behavior anymore and were wondering if we could move here? We also will be attending Kuoh academy." they said with tears. Issei being hopelessly weak to such tactics agreed immediately to stop their tears. "Ok ok just stop crying please!" he said.

Then their tears immediately disappeared and they high fived. "Yay! I'm glad Tamiel-chan was right when she said Issei was weak to tears!" they smiled and then began moving their bags to find a room as Issei stood there in shock that he had been tricked again.

He just grumbled then and went to his room to finish unpacking ignoring the giggling of the twins.

XXXX

Monday morning

"Who are they?" a voice whispered as Issei, Sano and Uno walked onto the campus that morning.

"I don't know but he is really cute." a girl whispered.

"I wonder who the two girls are they are pretty. Maybe the three of them are siblings?" another girl said.

"Hmm I don't think so look how close they are." a girl answered another girl.

Issei sighed and wondered why Sano and Uno suggested they hold onto his arms that morning. As soon as the three of them stepped onto the campus they felt the presence of several devils and from their information it was two different peerages attending the school. One was the Gremory heiress's peerage and the other was the Sitri heiress's peerage.

The twins were in the year under Issei so once they got into the building they separated and Issei went to the second years' classrooms while the twins went to the first years' classrooms.

XXXX

5 minutes later

Issei knocked on the door to his classroom and the teacher opened it. "Ahh you must be our new student, alright give me a second to prep the class." the teacher said and Issei nodded.

"Alright class we have a new exchange student joining us today." the teacher said and immediately the whispering began. "You can come in now." the teacher said and the door opened to reveal Issei walking in. The girls were giggling and the guys muttering under their breaths. Issei smiled at them as he bowed. "Good morning my name is Issei Shidou it's a pleasure to meet all of you. I come from Vatican academy in The Vatican City in Rome." he announced. The girls were looking at him with blushes and guys glares especially two guys in the back of the class. One was bald with a slightly athletic build and the other had a pair of glasses with short black hair.

"Alright you may sit next to Katase-san." he said pointing to a girl with short pinkish brown hair that was held up by a clip. He smiled at her and sat down next to her. She blushed prettily. "Issei Shidou nice to meet you." he said holding out his hand. She smiled and shook it. "Katase Tsuki." she said introducing herself.

After that classes went on smoothly with Issei constantly feeling gazes on him as he walked through the school. After school was over Issei met up with Sano and Uno and they left the campus.

"So you find anything out Issei?" Sano asked.

"Yea a kid in my class is the wielder of the dragon type sacred gear. His name is Matsuda no last name. He is supposedly a member of the perverted duo along with his friend Motohama no last name. From what I have witnessed he is not aware of the supernatural. Although I have only watched him for a day so I have no conclusive evidence. What about you two?" Issei asked.

"We made a list of the names of the devils in the school. It includes Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima-" they were going to continue until they seen Issei choked on his own spit at Akeno's name.

"She's here!" Issei said with a weird tone almost like he was sad to hear about her.

"Do you know her Issei-kun?" Uno asked.

"Yea she is Baraqiel's daughter. You guys know the story there. A day before I was scheduled to meet with her and purify her, her own clan hired assassin's and killed her mother. She then blamed her father for not being there even though he couldn't be as he was on a mission across the globe and now hates anything to do with fallen angels. I heard she had been recruited into a devil's peerage but to be here she would be at this school is surprising." Issei explained to them. They nodded at that.

"Ok you can continue." Issei said to them and they nodded. "The rest of the list includes Kiba Yuuto, Koneko Tojou, Sona Sitri, Tsubaki Shinra, Momo Hanakai, Reya Kusaka, Tomoe Meguri, Bennia, Tsubasa Yura, Genshirou Saji, and Ruruko Nimura." they finished.

"Dang that's a lot of devils." Issei muttered.

Sano and Uno then giggled. "Not to worry even if some of them are special they are all low-class devils with the exception of Rias and Sona." they said over confidently until Issei swatted them on the head.

"What did I tell you about under estimating people." Issei said with a frown.

"Were sorry." they said and bowed. By then they had made it to their house.

"I assume one of the Kings will send a piece to ask us to meet with them tomorrow." Issei said.

"Most likely." the twins agreed.

"What do you want for dinner?" Issei asked and when he see the gleam in their eyes he chuckled. He was rather well known in Heaven and the Grigori for his cooking and would often get request for food.

"I want Sekihan in celebration of our first day of a new school!" Sano said. "And Dumplings." Uno added. Issei nodded and got to cooking.

XXXX

After eating a delicious dinner Issei retired to his room. Opening the door he almost jumped in shock as on his bed was Sariel. "Sariel-chan what are you doing here." Issei said as he placed a hand on his heart.

"Mmm Issei is that you? I wanted to cuddle and sleep with you." she said tiredly as if she had been already asleep in his bed.

"Sigh fine. I swear you Tamiel and Penemue are always doing this." Issei muttered as he climbed into bed and cuddled up to Sariel.

Sariel smirked as she cuddled into Issei and the two fell asleep peacefully unaware of the chaos that would come in the morning.
