Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Blue Exorcist, although I wish I did. *Mumbles*. Anyways kids let's have ourselves a great chapter :D!

The Return of The Blue Flame Exorcist

Blue flames were seen for miles after Kurikara was released, easily defeating Amaimon. Rin let out another vicious snarl losing control of himself, at least to his demon half. The only reason no one had lost a life yet was due to Rins sheer will power to battle against himself. Yukio and the other Exwires stared on in horror as he blindly swung his sword at anything within distance. Yukio looked torn, deep down he knew Rin was his brother, but he knew in reality Rin was just another demon that needed to be dealt with, little did Yukio know this would be one of his biggest regrets ever.

Rin had finally calmed down after forcefully resheathing Kurikara dissipating those cursed blue flames that have followed him through his entire life. He began to stumble towards his "friends" and "brother" ever so slowly, but no matter how close he tried to get it seemed as though no ground was gained. Bon was the first to speak up and the anger that reflected in his eyes could rival a demon far more pissed off. "Get out of here! Go! Can't you see you've done enough damage?"

Rin stopped his advances only to be greeted with more hateful comments and stares from those he thought of as his friends. He heard Konekomaru say he wished Rin was the one to lose against Amaimon. atleast Amaimon wasn't the spawn of Satan. Shiemi had said she couldn't believe she befriended a demon and how she hated them. Demons were the reason her grandmother died. So how could she betray her grandmother by befriending the son of Satan?

Even Shima looked torn, but he agreed with Bon. "Yeah Rin you should go…" Rin took the liberty to look over towards Izumo who only held a look of fear as she hid behind the others trying to come into terms that the guy that saved her only weeks ago was the son of Satan. She wanted to speak up and defend him, but she was at a loss for words. She felt helpless just like the time Paku and her were attacked and Rin saved them. She turned her head away as if she wanted nothing to do with the situation since she was so stressed. "So everyone think's I'm a monster….", He got his final answer and reached his limit when Yukio and Shura aimed their weapons at him. Yukio spoke calmly, yet with an eternal resolution. "Rin either surrender or we will have to kill you." If Rin was shocked and hurt before his expression now must be on a whole other level.

Rin clenched his fist and allowed tears to fall down his face as he shouted at them. "Kill me!?, What exactly have I done wrong besides protect you all!?" He was about to continue his rant when he was cut off by a warning shot that came from no one other than his younger brother. "Yu-Yukio..?" Rin had begun to panic when he saw Shura move at him with lightning speed swinging her sword, he could have sworn he heard her mumble, "I'm sorry Shiro" as she continued her attack. Rin closed his eyes waiting to feel the metal slice through his flesh spilling his blood onto the forest floor. He continued to close his eyes until he heard a loud *Clank* extremely close. Hell it sounded as if it came from right above him.

A few Gasps were heard so he slowly opened his eyes to see a scowl on Shuras face and a figure standing in front of him holding her sword with a bare hand. Who would save him? He was the spawn of Satan after all; most people would give anything to see his head on a silver platter. Yukio was the first to break the silence as he spoke up "Sir Pheles, what do you think you're doing?" Mephisto wore a serious look, which was a rare occasion seeing as though the man was quite the jokester. "Simply fulfilling a promise to a friend, I suppose you could say I'm protecting the embodiment of his will." Yukios eyes were large as he caught onto what Mephisto was hinting.

Shura wasted no time and shouted "Gobble the seven princesses, kill the snake." Evolving her sword into its final form. With lightning speed she swung with all her might at only for him to send her a smirk before Amaimon appeared out of no where landing a punch in her face sending her flying through trees and other objects. "Oi sorry I'm late brother, I suppose Rin did quite the number on me," he laughed while giving his brother a cheeky smile. Mephisto replied "No problem at all, I would say you made it just in time, unfortunately if Mrs. Kirigakure had allowed me to continue speaking she would have known that Rin is under the protection of the Paladin." This information earned gasps from everyone except ofcourse Amaimon.

Yukio spoke up once again "How do I know what you're saying is true ?" His question was then answered as the one and only Arthur Auguste Angel or formally known as the Paladin appeared with a frown on his face. "Sorry I'm late ." He stated calmly.

Mephisto could only smile at him, "Not a problem at all." The Paladin then turned his attention to those standing in front of him, Shura had long since crawled her was out of the forest brushing off a few braches and leaves. Her cheek appeared to be somewhat swollen since Amaimon barely held back when he hit her with such violent force. Even she had to admit it hurt, well he was the King of Earth for a reason.

"As you all heard what stated earlier, it's true. Rin Okumaru the son of Shiro Fujimoto is here by under the protection of I, Sir Arthur Auguste Angel the Paladin of True Cross Academy. Long ago back when Shiro was living we had a conversation about Rin. Not many people could be trusted with the information on him being the son of Satan since Exorcist all around would strive for the opportunity to end His bloodline, this was long before I became Paladin as well.

*Flashback*

Shiro and Arthur were walking through True Cross doing nothing more than enjoying yet a fine peaceful day. "So Shiro how are those sons of yours? " Shiros eyes lit up excitedly as he started to relay on how much he loved Yukio and Rin . "Rin tried to make the household breakfast last Wednesday, but I suppose he decided we needed more protein and left the eggshells kingly within the eggs." Arthur blinked for a few moments before bursting in tears from laughter at Shiros misfortune. "Well I'd say you have quite the children, but what of the other one, Yukio?" Shiro cupped his chin as if he were thinking for a moment, but finally decided on a story.

"Well the other day I discovered Yukio could see demons, he seemed scared that he couldn't protect me and Rin, but the thing that worried me the most is how much he seemed to hate demons." Arthur looked curiously at Shiro before speaking up, "Shouldn't that be a good thing? The boy is showing promising talent and all demons should be hated in my opinion." Before the two friends could walk any further Shiro immediately stopped and looked at Arthur seriously, "I consider you my friend and won't hesitate to silence you if this information is ever relayed without proper cause and could endanger the lives of either of my children." Arthur looked shocked for a moment before trying to laugh it off "What the hell are you tal-."

Shiro decided to cut him off to answer his question "Those years ago when Yuris life ended suddenly, it was no accident, don't let the report fool you. She was not killed by some random lower class demon. She was impregnated with the spawns of Satan, which so happen to be Rin and Yukio. She was immune to Satans blue flames and I'm not entirely sure what type of relationship she had with him, but she died during child birth and right before then, I promised Yuri I would take care of them as if they were my own which is what I've done, but I fear one day I won't be able to protect them which is why I'm entrusting this information with you. Please Arthur I know when you become Paladin you'll be one of the most powerful men in True Cross, protect Rin. He will be quite the handful but his life will be full of pain and misery due to those flames. I'm not sure what path Yukio will choose, but please look after him as well."

Arthur looked shocked, but quickly regained his composure pulling Shiro into a firm handshake while placing his other hand on his shoulder. "I promise from this day on I only hold the interest of protecting Rin and Yukio Okumaru my friend." Shiro smiled happily and began to go on and on about how he wished Arthur would cut his hair, which only caused the future Paladin to start chasing his friend with wrath followed by laughter.

*Flashback end*

Everyone listened curiously, but it seemed as if their hate didn't whither. Arthur didn't expect them to jump up and down or even acknowledge half of what he said, but he was surprised when Yukio, Rin's own brother said "Well I suppose we won't be disposing of any demons today, I suppose we should all just go home. Is Rin coming back with us?" Arthur could see the fear and dread in everyone's eyes until he simply replied, "No, Rin will be elsewhere." With that being said Amaimon carried the unconscious Rin while following Arthur and his brother.

*3 years later*

It seemed as though time had flew by since those events had taken place that night. Yukio and the Exwires remembered everything that took place that night quite vividly even Shura seemed like those events haunted her mind. They all had betrayed Rin out of fear, they shunned him for something he couldn't control, and now it seemed as if most of their lives had lost a bit of light. 1 week turned into 3months then 3 months turned into a year. There had been no signs of Rin and no word from any higher ups of his locations or whereabouts. It had been one fateful day where class had continued on as usual until the schools bell system went off causing everyone to head to the center of town to see what all the fuss was about. Yukio scowled as he seen Bon and Shima arguing about who could get to the center of town first.

"Move Shima we all know you're slow as an ant" Shima glared at Bon and angrily replied "BON! You know damn well not to use bug references with me" The pink haired Exwire shivered from disgust. Shiemi, Izumo, and Konekomaru began laughing at their friends as they began to fight. Yukio smiled and spoke up " Alright you two it's imperative we all stick together at a decent pace so no one gets lost, consider this a school fire drill, but only the real thing." They all looked at Yukio like he lost his mind…Yukio then inwardly thought "Hm, maybe using a burning building as an example wasn't the best analogy as he started laughing trying to break the awkwardness of the situation.

A few moment later and Shura had joined the group. Shiemi noticed and decided to ask her a question. "Um , do you know why the bell alarm system went off? We aren't under attack are we?" Shura looked down at the small girl who almost seemed afraid of the answer she'd get, but she only smiled and replied, "I doubt any demon could get passed the barriers that Mephisto put around this hell hole so it must be really important only Mephisto, The Council, and the Paladin have the authority to ring the bell, and since The Council never travels it couldn't be them, so relax kids probably just Mephisto being an idiot playing with the bell system or something.

They all sighed in relief with the conclusion it was probably nothing until they noticed everyone was looking up at the Paladin as he stood up in a tall building with a balcony. They pushed themselves through the crowd to get a good view of what was going on. 30 minutes had gone by until a spokesman had got their attention. "Everyone please silence yourselves as our dear Paladin Sir Arthur Auguste Angel speaks!" Everyone quickly shut up wanting to see what all the commotion was about. The Paladin quickly glanced over his people and gave a few waves and smiles that earned him some positive comments like, "Did you see him smile, it's so handsome", and "Oh my Gosh Arthur be mine. He finally cleared his throat and became serious. "3 years ago I came to True Cross Academy on business and couldn't stop to see you all, it has been 3 long years and I couldn't help but bring you all a gift." Everyone's attention was peaked at this new profound information. "This gift is a person of true talent, he has endured some of the most brutal training I have ever witnessed and honestly if I weren't already Paladin he'd be the perfect candidate for the position he is a man of true talent an Arc Knight to be more specific. He is the one and only RIN OKUMARU!"

Everyone's faces wore shock especially Shura and Yukios, the other Exwires were just as shocked. Bon looked like he seen a ghost and Shima looked as if a tarantula had been crawling on his shoulder. Shiemi's mouth was wide open while Konekomaru and Izumo both went wide-eyed. They continued to look up until they seen a man walk next to Arthur at equal height and build staring down at everyone with such a calm yet serious bone chilling expression. His hair was a bit longer and he seemed way different. Rin spoke up finally after the cheers died down, "It's a pleasure to see True Cross Academy once again, I truly have missed this place. I will be taking over mission classes taking students on real life and death situations to better equip them for the real field, but before then you all will undergo a few weeks of my specialized training. There are some things I can't teach you in a class; personally I believe learning on the field is the best solution. I will see you all soon, Good day.

Yukio couldn't help but wonder what the hell just happened as he noticed his brother and the Paladin leave. "There's only one person that has answers right now, we all need to go see Mephisto immediately he said to Shura and his other exwires." They all nodded in agreement with Yukio and quickly made their way towards Mephistos without noticing 2 dark figures in the distance watching the group carry on. The one figure spoke to the other, "So these are the humans you spoke of Amaimon." Amaimon smiled happily "Yep those are the humans alright." The dark figured smirked somewhat and spoke darkly "Let the games begin."

As Yukio, Shura, and his students made their way into Mephistos office a strange sight greeted them. Well strange was an understatement when it came to Mephisto. "Ahh so the young exorcist have finally decided to make an appearance." Shuras face held nothing but irritation as she pushed Yukio out the way receiving a "Hey!" from the younger man. "What the hell happened to Rin? Where did you, pretty boy and Amaimon take him 3 years ago? Why does he look as if he's lost all emotion? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON MEPHISTO!?" she finally stopped to breath and Mephisto only looked amused at her questions.

"Well to be honest I'm in no position to really tell you anything, but if you want answers Rins class starts tomorrow afternoon immediately after Yukios. As you all know I'm quite the busy man so I'll have to ask you to leave."

Surprisingly enough Bon stepped in front of Shura and slammed both his hands on Mephistos desk. "Look! We haven't seen Rin in 3 years." His face began to soften. "When he needed us the most we let him down. We all accepted the fact we'd never see him again no matter how much it hurt, but I know for a fact we all still care about him."

Bon earned some "Yeahs!" from those in the room with him, but Mephistos face turned deadly serious as he got up to look out the window with his back turned to them. "Rin is no longer that inexperienced child that I saved 3 years ago from Shura and Yukio. To be quite honest, the most information I can give you is this. As you all know there are Eight Demon Kings of Gehenna."

The King Of Earth

The King Of Rot

The King Of Time

The King of Fire

The King of Insects

The King of Water

The King of Spirits

The King of Light

The group payed close attention to what Mephisto was saying until he sighed and finally spoke again. "Then the 9th King of Gehenna was named. Yukio spoke up "You don't mean…." Almost simultaneously they all spoke in unison Rin is the 9th demon king of Gehenna!?

Holy crap Rin is a demon king now? WHAT'S NEXT!? Leave a positive review

Sorry for the cliffhanger everyone, but if I receive enough reviews I'll be sure to update by tonight. Love you guys :P I'm going to go eat some pancakes now.

Oh BTW I switched some things up in the story like Shiro and Arthur being friends. Yes I know Shiro was 49 and Arthur is 30, but live with it. It makes the story far more interesting in my opinion. Remember to Review everyone.

Also I don't appreciate people telling me how I should direct my story, but I am open to suggestions. Remember I follow my own guideline, if you don't like it then don't read my flipping story.

P.S this is my first story and I plan on taking it far.

P.S.S I want to give Rin a love interest so let me know who I should use in the reviews Shura, Izumo, or Shiemi. Expect Lemons in the future.
