Notice: This fic completely ignores the original manga plot. It's an AU mostly based off the ANIME up to episode 24. Sorry for the confusion inflicted /(_)/

Warning(?): Slight twincest bromance going on in here. Yukio being a sobbing mess, basically the characters being quite very OOC.

"Nii-san..?"

At least the cut in his arm has stopped bleeding. Yukio didn't expect for the magic circle to suck a gallon of his blood to open the Gate. It was a success though, until the Messiah missile failed to destroy the Gehenna Gate.

The Exorcists around the compound suddenly combusted into deadly blue flames and the demons pouring out from the black substance in the Gate. His grandfather merely stood there, a little to close, seemed to be too shocked to realize what was going on- until a silhouette appeared, grabbing the crazed old man by the throat and throwing him into the little hands in the black goo like he was just a piece of trash. The figure didn't even stop to listen to the old man's pleads.

Yukio was on his knees, his left hand gripping the gash on his right arm. His eyes locked onto the figure, whose blue flames melted to reveal the face of a person he was badly searching for the past year and a half.

"Yo, Yukio," Okumura Rin smiled, showing his fangs.

He looked so different from before. His unusual clothes reminded Yukio of Mephisto's 'younger brother' though. Dark navy blue jacket, white shirt and vest with a tie, black pants with dangling ornaments on the belt. Spiked boots.

Rin casually walked towards his kneeling younger brother, kneels and reached out to touch the wounded arm but Yukio hesitated. "Hey, it's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you, bro," Rin assured, smiling that childish smile Yukio never thought to see again.

Rin gently held the arm to his view, taking out a small vial from the breast pocket. It popped opened, and a few blue droplets fell onto the wound. Yukio hissed from the sting, but noticed the pain was receding.

"Jeez, Yukio, your action was really silly. You gave more than enough blood to open the gate, that's why it's so ginormous," Rin chuckled. Yukio didn't seem to notice what his brother said, he was too busy eyeing his long pointed ears and fangs. There were two small flames burning on top of his head, seemed like they were a mock for horns?

"Nii-san.. Is it really you? Where have you been?" Yukio finally spoke up, his voice cracked. The wound on his arm has closed, healed.

"I'm sorry, Yukio. I tried to go back- to Assiah. Back to you," Rin smiled apologetically.

"Yukio, get away from 'im!" Shura suddenly shouted.

Rin effortlessly avoided Shura's attacks. Stepping in front of Yukio, she went into a defending stance, ready to for any counter attack, but Rin merely stood a few feet away from them.

"So, this is the older brother, eh? Here to do your daddy's dirty work, demon!" Shura spat.

Rin's eyes went wide, and he let out a roar of laughter. "What! You thought I'd be as demented as dad? Of course, not!" He wiped a tear from his eye.

Rin stopped his laughter, and looked around. "The demons are pouring out. You better gather capable exorcists and the townsfolk before things get out hand, lady," Rin said seriously.

"Huh? The hell are you sayin'? Aren't you here to bring Gehenna's wrath upon us, as typical demons you are?" Shura replied in disbelief.

Rin shook his head. "Yukio," he smiled.

"That night, when the demons attacked the church- Satan dragged me into Gehenna. I couldn't do anything. I was such a wimp, letting him possess our dad.. I was scared out of my wits," Rin bowed his head low.

"When I came to, I was in Gehenna. 'Father' was there with me. He wanted me to become the next ruler of Gehenna. He forced me to become the next ruler of Gehenna. I didn't want to! I lost count how many times I tried to escape, tried to get back into this world- tried to call out to you,"

"He made me go through a shit-ton of torture, Yukio. It was horrible, the 'training' to become a 'true son of Satan'. But I preserved. I found out I could view Assiah from another demon's eyes, I commanded it to search for you," Rin explained. Yukio noticed his eyes were shimmering from tears held back.

"I found you, Yukio. I saw you in your classes, you on missions; you stalked by those creepy fan girls in school. I realized how much I missed you," he chuckled. "I made decision. I promised myself, I wouldn't back down that easily. I've grown stronger. I believed there would be a day I'll be able to meet you again, and it felt so soon. I wanted to be with you again, Yukio, and I'm here now! I've come back, Yukio!" Rin exclaimed.

Yukio felt a blush coming up to his face. He definitely did not expect his brother to suddenly be so honest! But, he trusted him. He trusts his dear older brother.

"Shura, it's okay. I trust him. He's safe," Yukio assured the hesitating lady.

"Humph.. and here I thought I could do some serious ass-whooping. I'm leaving this shit to you then, guys. But!" Shura points her sword edge towards Rin, "If you do anything funny, I will not hesitate to bring you down, shorty," Rin spluttered at her remark, and with that Shura quickly made her way towards the group of young Exorcist students outside the compound gates, eager to get glimpse of the rumoured Yukio's older brother.

"I've seen her once or twice with you on missions. How can you keep up with her, Yukio?" Rin sighed. Yukio merely laughed, watching the group escape from the area. He hoped they still had time to save the townsfolk..

-Until he felt a sting in his body.

Yukio screamed.

He screamed, and wouldn't stop. He couldn't stop screaming. The sudden pain in his body was unbearable!

"Yukio!" Rin shouted. Yukio turned his head towards his older brother, calling out to him. "Nii-san! What's happening! It hurts..!" He screamed. His vision suddenly became blurry, he could see a blue flames clouding him-

"Think you're gonna have a fucking reunion without me, sonny?"
