Demons.

They can be cruel creatures.

Rin sighed in irritation as a creepy looking demon poked his face. He was currently in his science class, waiting impatiently for the bell of release to ring. Right about now, he wouldn't mind listening to Yukio talk to himself at the cram school!

... Ok, maybe that was pushing it. But this stuff was even more boring than learning about demons and exorcists.

You know what? Rin thought. Both of those options are terrible

Rin sent one very angry glare at the... Thing, successfully getting it to stop irritating the crap outta him. The teacher continued to babble to himself as Rin stared out the large windows.

He thought back to his dinner with Mephisto a couple nights before. Mephisto had said something about a demons manner... What was that clown trying to say?! That he wasn't good enough to be a demon or something?!

... I did not just think that. Do I WANT to be recognized as a demon? Pft, of course not. Though, the way he said it was offending. Disgust? Stupid clown... However, Rin still felt upset by his tone of voice.

When did he start caring about what Mephisto thought about him?

Then there was the fight with Amaimon (FINALLY he remembered his name. Probably not for long though). That fight didn't last very long, but it still injured him. Being a demon and all, his wounds healed pretty quickly though he still had a large bruise on his stomach. He must admit, Amaimon's demon form was kind of scary. Not the physical appearance as much, but the strength and power in it all. And that guy was the weakest demon king!

Rin started to get lost in his thoughts again and before he knew it, the bell had rung. Almost immediately, Rin threw his backpack over his shoulder and sped out of the room.

Ah... Right. He still had cram school before he could go to his dorm and relax. Dammit.

There went his happy mood.

Mephisto walked into his mansion and was automatically greeted by his butler. Did he ever mention how much he loves having a butler?

"Is there anything you need me to do master?" The butler asked, bowing.

Mephisto thought about it for a moment. "No. Not at the moment. The Vatican is still going after the demon eaters, so there's really nothing new for you to do at the moment." Mephisto started walking up to his office, a sick smile forming on his face.

Yes.. Nothing he needed to do indeed. This is something he could do on his own.

While they're distracted with the demon eaters, he'll make his move.

And Rin Okumura is his first pawn.

Rin started to stare off into space again as Yukio talked about demons. For some reason, he can't focus on anything today. It seemed like every time he tried to focus, his mind would remember something else that happened and start focusing on that.

"Rin." Yukio said, no emotion evident in his voice. This is the third time he's tried to get Rin's attention and it was starting to get on his nerves.

Rin snapped his gaze away from the ceiling and looked at Yukio, his cheeks flushing in embarrassment. "Yes Yuk- I mean, sensei." He asked. Yukio sighed in exasperation.

"The next time I ask you to pay attention, I'm sending you out into the hall." Yukio said before going back to talking and writing on the board. Rin puffed out his cheeks in irritation, acting like a little kid, before paying attention to what was written on the board.

However, it wasn't long before his mind wandered elsewhere.

Darkness.

All that he was able to see, was darkness.

How long has it been since he's seen the light?

A red eye peered around in the dark void, looking for a way out. No one has come to save him yet? That's highly unusual. Usually when he slumbers, someone would wake him after a week.. Though, it feels like it has been months.

"Master, wake up." A soft voice echoed in the darkness. He looked to what he thought was upwards. He recognized that voice from somewhere...

"Master, wake up. You have been slumbering for quite some time, it is time for you to wake up." The voice repeated. The man smiled slightly as he saw a light slowly descending down on him. Finally! Someone has come!

One red eye and one purple eye slowly opened to a blinding white light. The man squinted his eyes shut as the light started to give him a headache.

"Master! You are finally awake!" As his eyes adjusted, the man turned his head around to the side, his silver hair falling into his face. On the other side of his bed stood a young woman with dark gray hair (With blue tips at the end of her hair) and piercing blue eyes. The girl was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans, looking like a teenager. She smiled down at him. "You have been sleeping for 3 months. I thought it was time to wake you."

"Where is everybody, Jay?" He asked as he sat up. This is strange.. No one is here. Wait a second, he's not even in his bedroom! He was in a shed with a bed and windows, not his royal room!

Jay's smile slowly turned into a frown as she saw his shocked gaze. "You see.. We were driven out of our home during your slumber. Those filthy exorcists found our hideout and attempted to kill us. The guards managed to hold them off while you and I escaped, however..." She trailed off and the man nodded in understanding.

"No one else came out alive."

A heavy silence soon followed after those words. The man started to narrow his eyes.

"Was it one of Mephisto's exorcists?" He spat in disgust. Jay nodded and bowed her head. He sighed and threw off the covers. "Oh well. Please leave now, I need to-" He cut himself off as he realized that he may not have clothes. Jay started to smile again and handed him a stack of clothes.

"I managed to get this during the ruckus. I'll leave now, Master Haiiro." Jay said and shut the door, walking into the outdoors.

Haiiro glared at his clothes before beginning to change.

Don't you worry Mephisto.. We'll get you back. Haiiro slowly started to smirk.

And I know the way how.

And... Done! Once again, a new story XD Again, like what I say with most of my stories, I'm not sure how successful this will be but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Sorry if this chapter was boring. I promise it'll get interesting as time goes on!

Review?
