Chapter 2

Assiah, True Cross Academy

Mephisto and Yukio had arrived at the academy where school was now commencing. Of course Yukio had a lot of things going on aside from his recent losses. He had nervously prepared for the speech as he had been the first year's representative, which he didn't do bad at all. And normal classes wouldn't commence until about a week from now. The only thing going on was exorcist school.

A small group of students sat in their seats, chatting up a storm: three boys in the back; one with pink hair and seemingly energetic, one bald one who seemed the least talkative one, and a tall figure with spiked up hair with mixed colors whom was about in between the two of them. There was one hooded figure in the back by themselves as well as one in the front, no company but a puppet in their hand. Finally there were two girls, one with purples tied up hair and the other short brown hair, they seemed friendly with each other but ignoring everyone else.

All sound was silenced as the door to the classroom door opened. Finally, they had been waiting there for a while for their teacher to show. Yukio entered the room, all dressed up in his exorcist uniform, holding a suitcase as he walked over to the desk. He set the down the suitcase on the desk and opened it up before smiling up at the class.

"Good evening, pages, I'm Yukio Okumura and I will be your Demon Pharmaceuticals teacher," he said softly, noting that the students were giving him a look. "I may not look it, but I am actually the same age as all of you. I started training as an exorcist when I was only seven."

A few of the students jaws dropped but they all just remained silent for a moment before the purple haired girl spoke up.

"Nice to meet you, Okumura-Sensei," She said.

"Hey teach, glad to meet'cha." The pink haired student said, too, leaning back in his seat against the back table.

The rest of them just echoed the greeting, aside from one who just sat silent, not really paying attention to class very well anyway. Yukio just didn't notice as he was too distracted. His first day without Rin and the old man… He sighed and just kept the smile, nodding at them.

"Great, now before I get started, is there any of you who hasn't received their temptaint," He asked the class and looked around, seeing only about three of them raise their hands. "Okay, we'll as a first step, we will need to fix that."

He pulled out a vial of red liquid and held it up before saying, "This is blood, when I break it, it will summon hobgoblins. Anyone who doesn't have the temptaint will use them to give you one." He broke the vial. "Get ready."

Hobgoblins now appeared in the room and they began to fight them off.

Meanwhile, Mephisto sat in his office, thinking about what had happened as he was curious more than anything else. It was then that he decided to pay a visit to his homeland. He got up of his seat and spoke his famous words Eins Zwei Drei and teleported to Gehenna, which wasn't entirely easy to do.

Gehenna, Satans throne room.

Satan in his throne, thinking about what he would do next. It was highly likely that his young son wouldn't comply at first. The stubbornness of obvious. So he plotted silently what his next lesson was for the young demon.

"Yoohoo, look who has returned, 3" Mephisto said in a sing song and bowed, lower his top hat to press it against his chest before resuming his position and placing it back on his head. "Have you missed me~"

Feeling a familiar sense, he stopped distracting himself with such thoughts and looked up only to see another one of his sons. He would know that would know that voice from anywhere, his second eldest son. Raising an eyebrow, he crossed his arms.

"My, my, Samael, it has been quite a long time hasn't it." Satan replied almost blankly and sighed. "I thought you might come back some day, however, what are you doing here, hm?"

"Oh father, you wound my poor heart," The Demon King of Time replied, pretending to be offended before smirking. "I heard that you recently obtained something from Assiah, just yesterday, so I had to come and see for myself."

Satan looked at the other unamused. "Well, I did and about time. Tell me, did you expect to keep him hidden away from me forever, Samael?"

Mephisto keep his smirk, resting a hand on his hip and waving his father's words off.

"Please, Father, I had no intention of hiding him from you, I was just simply honoring my deal with someone, which by the way I know you killed." He pointed out in an amused tone. "I almost expected you to find him sooner, in any case I only saved him from dying fifteen years ago."

"I don't care what your intentions were, Samael, he was my son and you gave him to a human and sealed him away." He snarled and clenched his fists. "If you expect to take him back, you have another thing coming, son."

"I have no intention of going against you on this, I just simply wanted to come by, after all it has been soooooo long. 3" Mephisto purred. "So~ where is my youngest demon brother, hm?"

The Demon god glared at the Demon King and stood up. Very slowly approaching him, he did eventually grin.

"He is currently resting in his quarters, he's had a long tedious day," He smirked and walked past Mephisto. "Sorry if you were expecting it to be visitation hours. Now if you don't mind, I have things to do. If you plan on staying go ahead, but I have far more important things to deal with." Satan just left the room without saying another word to him.

Mephisto followed his father out, but had no intention to leave quite yet. He was curious as to what his youngest brother, well one of them, was like now. It wasn't too hard to find him, his presence could be sensed from a mile away. He stopped at the door and opened it to peek in to find the other laying down. However, he wasn't asleep, but just laying there. Before he could be noticed, he shut the door and poofed off.

Satan hadn't gotten too far, just enough to watch Mephisto from afar. He didn't trust any son that was tainted by humans in Assiah, not when they knew better. He would be sure to make sure to have servants keep a close eye on both Rin and Mephisto if he returned.

A few days later- True Cross Academy

It was an early Saturday morning and Yukio was just barely awake. He was supposed to be the mature one, the one twin that had a grasp of things, but he felt the opposite. Today he just wanted to lay lazily in bed, even if he did have duties to fulfill. Really all he needed was a day to himself without anything to do. That and it gave him time to think about possible ways to see his brother again. He never lost the hope of seeing him again.

His plans were interrupted, however, as he could hear a sudden knocking on his door. The knocking was hard and fast, not something he could really ignore. Grunting loudly, he slipped on some kind of clothes and walked up to the door to answer it. To his surprise, Mephisto stood there, he hadn't expected him at all. He just stared at the Demon King as he bowed.

"Sir Pheles, what are you doing here," Yukio said lazily, not paying very much attention. "It's not like you to just show up around here."

The principal said nothing but instead walked inside the dorm room before turning to face Yukio once more.

"~Good morning, Okumura-kun, I assume you are doing well," He asked, pretending to care as he actually had a reason for being here. "I didn't know you were so neat, I have a whole new respect for you. Now, we need to talk."

"O-Okay?" Yukio closed the door and rose an eyebrow. "What's going on, Sir?"

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to join me tea, to discuss what all happened that night," Mephisto said. Yukio Frowned.

"With all due respect, sir, I don't really want to talk about it nor do I want to think about it. Can't you see that is the last thing I want to do?"

"Ah… I see, human grievances but sooner or later you have to acknowledge what happened. After all, it may not be too late to get your brother back."

This caught Yukio's attention as crossed his arms, "Didn't you say it before? That if we were to see him again, he wouldn't be the same? Either way, it's impossible."

Mephisto grinned, "Nothing is impossible, just throwing out the thought… Oh well, perhaps another time, then, yes?"

Yukio took a moment to think and was about to ask him to stay but it appeared that Mephisto had already puffed away. Only leaving him to dwell on what could happen. Yukio would go to Gehenna and back just to get his only family back but what if he really would be too late? Even now he figured Satan was working his magic on the older twin, twisting and changing up the longer he would be down there. That's what he wanted, right?

Also, was there even a chance that he could fully trust Mephisto? After all he, too, was a demon. Not just that, a demon king. Even he had known him all his life and that he was now his guardian… There was no one else that he trusted in the world more than Rin and he was gone. No more shoulder to cry on.

|I decided to just post this second chapter for someone who had actually requested it but this is all I am going to post for now. Again, any suggestions or constructive critisim you can supply, have at it. I need as much help as I can?

I know it may seem fast paced but I will try to work on that..]
