Chapter 2

Do you live here

"I tried to steal the apple". Mephisto's tired eyes widened in surprise if not amazement at Rin's stupidity "The apple? The original apple? The one Father keeps on display?" Rin promptly received a slap to the face "you're an imbecile" Mephisto stood up and began pacing while biting his elegantly groomed nails "don't you realise how dangerous that artifact is you stupid boy!". Rin sat still knowing he shouldn't have done it, feeling like a young child being scolded, and as Mephisto rambled on Rin just stared at his hands. "Why would you even try!" He stared at Rin in exasperation and Rin lifted his gaze towards his significantly older brother "I just wanted to see it, curiosity" Rin played with his bandaged tail. After a while Mephisto sighed heavily and checked his pocket watch "I must be going, Try not to anger father more than you already have my dear brother, Auf Wiedersehen" he smiled and with a puff of smoke his brother was gone leaving Rin alone... again

laying back on his bed Rin started to reflect on his past, his lonely childhood and the neglect he faced throughout it all. Rin never had any friends, his life consisted of education from his father on how to be a true ruler of Gehenna, how to handle a sword and all of the merciless beatings to 'discipline' him, and although he was praised by other demons as 'Lord Rin, prince of Gahenna' he was miserable. He got up from the warmth of his bed and approached his bathroom looking forward to a long hot bath. Rin eased himself into the steaming water and winced as the wounds began to sting. He wasn't going to deny it, he was scared, His father had a godly temper and he would usually take his anger out on Rin through savage beatings and making Rin feel worthless. He grit his teeth as his mind flashed back to the time he thought he would cook for his father, he still felt the punches that his father had given him that day. Rin snarled and punched a hole through the wall beside the bath sending a combination of rock and water flying around the room"FUCK THIS PLACE!" he shouted out of pure resentment towards his father. Rin had decided, his father could go fuck himself with that retarded pitchfork hanging over his throne. He got out if the bath and put some clothes on then his black coat over that, then he grabbed his sword kurikura and a blue scarf. He was leaving Gahenna and more importantly his prick of a father. he swung kurikura over his shoulder and stood in the centre of his room, He concentrated, he felt it all, the wetness of his hair, the warmth of his coat, he heard the wind outside and the hustle and bustle in the city below. Blue flames ignited all over his body, his heart pounding and breathing heavy. The ground in front of him bubbled, this was the one thing his father had no knowledge of, the power many of his brothers craved and the humans would kill to obtain, the true power of Satan, The Gahenna gate, The ability to open a portal between Gahenna and Asaiah. It slowly took shape on the black stone floor of Rin's bedroom. He let out a heavy breath and closed his eyes tightly and began to wonder if this was the right decision and as these thoughts ran through his clouded mind the wounds on his back began to burn and he heard a woman's voice whispered softly in his ear "do it" and a sense of determination rose into his chest, he stepped in to the convulsing pool of darkness and everything went black.

Rin felt like he was drowning in a pool of molasses, he couldn't move and his wounds were on fire, it was almost like someone had poured vinegar over his back. His lungs were burning and he was using all of his willpower to keep his mouth shut, and just as Rin was about to give in he hit a solid floor with a unnerving thud. He gasped for air desperately, coughing furiously. He flopped onto his back still breathing like a fish out of water, And as Rin's breathing became steadier he noticed something unusual, instead of the cloudy, murky green sky he was used to be saw a wonderfully azure blue sky riddled with marvelous pinks, reds and oranges. His eyes widened and a tear nearly breached his eye lids, he had done it, he was free from his father, free from the whippings and tail breaking. He laughed, a sincere and happy laugh, but unfortunately that laugh was immediately halted when a hefty flower pot was broken over his head, he grabbed his head in pain shouting "ah what the fuck!" Rin then rolled onto his knees in an attempt to stand and attempted to grab kurikura from his back but instead proceeded to trip over a bush and land in a small pond filled with small fish, he looked up to see a blonde haired girl in a rather floral yukata standing before him with a trowel held before her as a weapon, Rin was taken aback at first as he looked into her stunning green eyes, as he saw fear in place of what should have been anger or malice, and Rin remembered something his father had once told him during one of their less tense moments "humans are driven by their emotions and fear is right at the top, they attempt to destroy what they fear. Demons for example". This girl feared him as she didn't know who or what he was, therefore she had preemptively thrown a pot at him. She glared down right into his eyes "who are you" she demanded with a quivering voice and as he began to speak a man's voice called out from behind the shaking girl "Sheimi, get away from him!". Rin leaned over to see a bespectacled man wearing a black uniform pointing a pair of rather dangerous looking pistols directly at Rin's face, "it's a demon" he declared as the blonde haired girl backed away hastily. Rin stood up slowly brushing himself off and removing his saturated coat. "Who are you demon!" demanded stupid, mole faced, gun wielding exorcist. Rin was getting pissed, he had a short temper, an unfortunate trait he received from his father, Rin's eyes started to flicker "Why the fuck do you want to know exorcist?" Rin replied bitterly, making sure to emphasise the word exorcist in a weak attempt to insult him, Rin began to step forward but received the brush of a bullet against his ear. Rin growled "you want to fight you son of a bitch!" Rin's demonic features began to form, this wasn't going to plan, at this rate he'd have to return to Gahenna, Why did he end up in this garden anyway, he was trying to get to Mephisto. The exorcist snarled at Rin and glanced over at the girl in the yukata "Sheimi, go and get some more exorcists, make sure you let the class know that I may be a little late" she jumped a little not expecting to be acknowledged "but Yukki.." she started but was interrupted by a sharp glare from the exorcist and at that she ran in the opposite direction. Rin growled and removed the red sleeve on kurikura, revealing the scabbard in all its glory and the exorcist braced his feet. Rin slowly drew the blade as blue fire ignited all over his body, He saw the exorcist flinch a little "blue flames" he muttered before Rin lunged and the brown haired exorcist fired multiple rounds towards several points located around Rin's body. The last thing he saw was bullets flying towards him and a very angry looking exorcist pulling the trigger
