"He had no choice, right after Shiro had told him never to draw the sword - he was being given no other choice. No other way of saving Shiro from the Gehenna gate, he didn't have time to think about the consequences, he didn't have time to dwell on his fate. Rin just needed to act, and quickly. Pulling the sword from its sheath, Rin's body was immediately enveloped with blue fire; his ears grew out and his teeth grew sharper in a matter of seconds. Not to mention the brand new attachment near his rear - but now wasn't the time to think about his physical changes. No. He needed to save Shiro.

"With a roar, Rin plunged the sword into the gate, blue flames growing before the gate finally shut. Shiro, was he okay? The last whispers of other demonic presence were gone besides his own, but Shiro... Shiro was... Dead. For a moment, Rin only sat there, wide-eyed and slack-jawed, flames whipping around his troubled form. Slowly, he seemed to regain realization, sluggishly sheathing Kurikara, only to bow his head and rest his forehead against it.

"This was his fault. Shiro was dead because of him. Before Rin could stop it, tears were rolling down his cheeks, a sob wracking the teen's body as his shoulders shook with emotion. What was he going to tell Yukio? That dad was dead because of him? That he was actually a demon and that Shiro had actually been an exorcist? Rin could never forgive himself for this, for not being strong enough, for not being able to save Shiro. He couldn't

"Sorry to disturb your grieving little brother but we must be on our way," A voice Rin didn't recognize hummed from behind him, his tone far too peppy after what had just occurred. That happy tone, calling him little brother, who did this asshole think he was? Rin was insistent on ignoring the peppy individual until Kurikara was snatched out of his hands.

"It didn't take much for Rin to become riled, the demon spawn shooting to his feet and spinning on his heel with a growl. "Give that back, right now," Rin demanded as he took a threatening step forward, his eyes still blurry from the lingering tears. Dammit, he felt so weak.

"Ah, my apologies but until you comply I can't give this back, now time is fleeting, please do come along, otherwise I might have to drag you along and I assure you that will not be a -" Before the purple haired, frighteningly flamboyant man could say anything more, Rin had lunged forward only to have his fist caught. Tugging back, Rin growled an animalistic sound rumbling in the pits of his throat.

"Who are you? Let me go!" Rin demanded, bringing his leg upward in an attempt to kick the man in the crotch. Desperate times called for cheating methods, though unfortunately, the purple-haired man was one step ahead. Reaching forward, he tapped Rin on the nose and with that the boy's limbs became completely numb and he collapsed into the stranger's arms.

"Lifting Rin up and throwing him over his shoulder, a smile tipped his lips upward. "Sir Mephisto Pheles, Demon King of time and space, and much to your surprise, your older half-brother, what an exciting reunion." Mephisto hummed as reached for the umbrella that he'd dropped at some stage during their scuffle.

"What had this guy... What had Mephisto done to him? Why couldn't he move? By the time Rin had managed to begin moving again when he lifted his head, they were no longer within the monastery. In fact, Rin wasn't sure where they were at all. The walls were white, the floors and the ceilings... white. The only thing that stood out was a door and an odd figure that stood beside it - a guard.

"Mephisto approached, a still incapacitated Rin slung over his shoulder and a charming grin swept across his lips. "Good to see you old friend, It's time you deliver to your part of our deal, don't you agree?" There was a murmur and then the door slowly began to open. Walking forwards, Mephisto placed Rin on his feet using his hand to steady the boy as he slung a bag now containing Kurikara over Rin's shoulder.

"Where is this place?" Rin finally found himself with the strength to speak once again, his eyes locking onto the void that rested through the door. No answer came to his question, instead only a push on his shoulder that sent the boy tumbling backward. Rin reached for something, anything to grab but his footing gave way and soon he was plummeting. Down. Down. Down.

Mephisto peered over the edge and tipped his hat as he locked eyes with the demon prince, "Hurry back little prince, give me a call when you're ready to return to Assiah. In the meantime, I suggest you watch your head." He teased before straightening up.

Plummeting was the last thing Rin remembered before the void had sucked him up.

Yo! If you haven't noticed I'm actually super new to and I've never really written a fanfiction story before as I've always been about writing a story totally of my own creation. Though I've kinda decided I'd give this a go and see how it goes so please feel free to criticize. I understand that this first part may seem a little short but I plan on having the other chapters be much lengthier.
