 As Zato walks toward the gate he notices Asia again waiting for him by the school gate.

"What are you doing here? I thought you would have gone back to my house by now." Zato says as Asia looks at him. 

"It was just so lonely there and I thought maybe we could hang out for a bit," Asia replies in a nervous tone

Rubbing the back of his neck Zato sighs, "Well I didn't have any plans, to begin with, so why not. This will be better for me then just laying on my lazy ass." Zato says as he looks down at Asia. "So where you wanna go?" Questions Zato as Asia smiles and walks in front of him. Zato follows Asia and soon the two arrive at a small restaurant. "A restaurant?" Zato asks

"Yeah, I saw it on my way to your school. I thought it looked neat." Asia explains as the two enter and are soon seated.  

"So, you've never had a hamburger before?" Zato asks as he leans back in the booth he's currently in. Across from his sitting on the other side of the table, Asia is holding a hamburger bigger than her mouth.

"No, but I've always wanted to try one," Asia says as she looks at the massive sandwich, trying to figure out where she could take the first bite.

"Just take a bite, it doesn't matter where you start," Zato says with a small chuckle at the end that Asia didn't hear. Gulping before taking a bite of the hamburger.

"Asia, can I ask you a question?" Zato asks as Asia wipes her mouth with her napkin to get the ketchup off her face

"Sure, ask away," Asia replies with a smile.

"Why did that Freed guy call you a witch?" Zato asks as Asia's happy expression suddenly saddens. Her eyes are full of sorrow. 

"Oh, you wanna know that. Well, you did save me from Freed, it's the least I can do." Asia begins "Remember how I told you, everyone, back at the church I grew up at despise my powers because it can heal beings born of sin." Asia explains as Zato nods. "Since you fought Freed you must be aware of the supernatural so I can tell you this. When I was younger I used my powers to heal a devil and that was the greatest sin a nun-like myself could ever make. Healing the natural enemy of god. I was labeled as a witch due to having a power that could heal them." Asia explains as Zato sips on his soda

"Asia, do you regret what you did?" Zato asks as Asia looks up at him.

"Even after all the pain it caused me, for some strange reason, I've never once regretted healing that devil. I know I should but I just don't." Asia continues

"Good, you shouldn't," Zato replies as Asia's eyes widen in shock. "You did what you thought was right, despite what everyone else would say you never looked back at the event and thought, I shouldn't have done that. However, that's not the best part. The best part is that you know one very important thing, something those fucks at your church would never understand. Someone isn't born evil, they're made evil. Either by the events that transpire in their life or by just growing into an evil person. You understand that while other fuckwads don't." Zato says he looks at Asia and smiles. "You did a good thing," Zato tells the nun

Asia wipes the tears from her eyes as she smiles back at Zato. "Ok, now finish that hamburger it was three hundred thirty-four yen," Zato tells Asia in a joking tone, Asia smiles before taking another bite of her food. After Asia had finished her food the two walk down a path in the part evenly arriving at a fountain. The two sit on a bench before Asia looks at Zato.

"Um, Zato. Can I ask you something?" Asia asks

"I did ask you a question early, so I guess it's only fair. Ok, shoot. Ask anything since I asked you a pretty deep question." Zato replies

"Um, I just wanna know. Why you're nice to me but seemingly no one else?" Asia asks as Zato looks down at his knees before glancing at Asia.

"Giving me a taste of my own medicine. Asking me a deep question," Zato says with a smirk. "Well, it's only fair that I answer it. You see the reason I'm a general ass to people is for two reasons, it' because it's my nature and because I don't want anyone to get to close to me." Looking at Asia's face, Zato could tell she was about to ask why. "Before you ask why, I'll explain. The reason I don't want anyone getting to close to me. It's because everyone that I get close to would either leaves me or get hurt because of me. It's actually the reason I don't live with my family anymore. See way back when my sister got hurt by the enemies I made, after that, I didn't want to stick around and let anyone else get hurt, so I left. I still talk to them but we haven't talked face to face for a few years now." Zato explains as he looks at the ground.

"If that's the cause, then why are you getting so close to me?" Asia asks as she puts her hand on Zato's shoulder.

"In all honesty, I haven't the faintest idea. After I kicked Freed's ass I thought about just leaving and letting you figure things out for yourself, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it despite doing it so many times before to other people. Maybe I'm just tired of being lonely, that or I'm being a fucking softly. God, I hope it's the first option." Zato chuckles that last part

"Zato you don't have to be alone anymore. " Asia says as she looks into Zato's eyes

"Well, isn't this adorable." Say an all too familiar, voice

"Oh, my fucking god! You again!? REALLY!" Zato shouts at the fallen angel as she lands on the water 

"Lady Raynare?" Asia says shocked

"You know her?" Zato asks

"She was a priestess I met at the church before you showed up. She was there for very long, I didn't know she was a fallen angel though," Asia explains

"Of course you didn't but since that moron Freed attempted to kill you there's no longer  need to hide what I am." Raynare laughs

"Get behind me," Zato says as he glares at the fallen before him

"Don't get ahead of yourself. The only reason you won before is because I didn't know you knew about the supernatural. It won't happen again." Raynare explains as she summons a light spear to her hand and flies into the air.

"I notice you summon that light stick to attack. So that means that's the only trick you got. So let me show you why being a one-trick pony blows." Zato moves swiftly and digs his hand into the ground before throwing it forward sending chunks of stone hurling at Raynare.

The fallen swings her light spear vertically cutting the incoming projectile into two pieces that pass right by her. "Is that all you g... Where did he go?" Raynare asks as she looks around trying to find Zato

"Right behind you," Zato says as Raynare looks behind herself and her eyes widen

"He got behind me?" Raynare asks herself and he turns around only for Zato to punch her in the gut sending her flying toward the ground and crashing into the water of the fountain.

"Damn you!" Raynare says as she gets up and glares forward only for water to be thrown in her eyes"He throws water in my eyes? That cheap bastard." Raynare growls in her mind.

As the water leaves Raynare's eyes all she sees is Zato fist before being sent flying back. Flapping her wings Raynare takes to the sky while summoning another light spear to her other hand. "Bastard! That's Fighting dirty!" Raynare screams as she throws both light spears at Zato. Jumping up Zato avoids the attack and tells Raynare something.

"Oh, shut up. Dirty fighting is just fighting people are too much of a bitch to admit they lost to. Plus what do I care, this is a fight, ain't no rules on a battlefield!" Zato shouts.

"No, rules you say. Then I guess you won't mind me slitting this nun pretty little throat."

Zato stops moving and looks up to see a woman with long blue hair, yellow eyes, and is wearing a very short red kin tight skirt and a red button-up shirt with two buttons bearly co0ntaining the lady's massive boos that aren't covered by a bra, no only the shirt is hiding those melons.

Out the corner of his eyes, Zato sees something and quickly jumps back and dodges a light spear that would have went right through him. Zato gulps as he tries to think of a plan on what to do next. "Nice one Kalawarner, let's get out of here before he can do anything," Raynare says as the new-fallen angel nods before they begin to teleport away via magic circle. Zato glares at them before disappear and repairing right in front of Kalawarner. His fist drawn back and killer intent oozing out of him. However, as his fist flies forward the three are gone but where they would be, now lays the path Zato and Asia had walked on. Now with a crater in it. Six feet wide and eight feet deep.

Zato tightens his fist. "DAMNIT!" Zato shouts as he slams his fist into the ground, again, then again, and then again. Blood oozes down his fist and drips from his knuckle one to the ground. When Zato finally stops slamming his fist into the ground he looks down at the small puddle of blood. Looking down at his blood fist he shakes it to get some of the blood off and then begins to walk away from the park in the direction of Kouh Academy.
