[I do not own Blue Exorcist] (Sorry for all the mistakes I've been making about the entire thing, I'm not very accurate even though I try to research what I don't know)

Rin stood 14 feet from Iblis. They faced each other, standing in fighting poses. "Okay Lil' Bro, you think you can match a thousand years of burning asses?"

Rin smirked. "Do you think you can match 15 years of pure motivation?"

Iblis started laughing uncontrollably. He tosses a strange red sword at Rin, who caught it easily. "Ey you!", he called to the white haired demon who had tended to Rin after the previous fight.

The white haired demon turned his head toward the King of Fire. "Y-yes?", he spoke with a stutter.

"Stay here incase Lil' 'Man' here gets injured by my attacks okay?"

The white haired demon nodded. "Raeze will do that.", he spoke in the 3rd person.

"Ha ha, good then.", Iblis spoke. He was about to rush forward to Rin until he spoke up.

"Hey Big Bro, what is this thing? Is it a sword?", Rin said as he held up a thin red blade with carvings on it.

Iblis stopped in place. "What do you think? Do you need glasses? It's a sword we call 'Blade of Assiah's King' but you can call it whatever you want."

Iblis whipped out an axe that looked similar to Rin's sword. "My actual weapon is being repaired. I beheaded too many things."

Rin took Iblis' rambling to advantage and striked him from the back. Iblis ducked down and tripped Rin by swinging his left leg. Rin fell to the ground, hitting his head. Raeze ran to Rin to tend to the injury but Iblis told him to stay away until there was a real injury. Rin rolled onto his stomach and pushed himself up. He spit out some blood, which appeared darker than usual. He ignore this though and continued to rush at Iblis.

"You can do better Lil' Bro!", Iblis laughed.


(Get ready for a little bit of YukioxShiemi)

Yukio sit in his room, staring back at the post card sent to Mephisto. "Why is this happening of all times."

Yukio stared at a calendar.

December 20th

Shiemi stood outside the old looking building where Rin and Yukio had dormed. "Y-yuki… Can I come in?", she spoke out to the door. "Please let me in…"

Nobody opened the door, Shiemi had been talking to no one but the door. She gave the door a slight push, it was already open. Shiemi walked in, looking around. This brought back memories of when Rin was still in Assiah. These memories, Shiemi thought, was the force in her mind that made her determined to find Rin.

Shiemi walked upstairs to look for Yukio. Every door but one was open, the door at the end of the hallway. Every step she took had a strange echo that made her nervous. She took many steps to get to the opened room. She peeked her head inside and saw Yukio. He seemed very upset. "Yuki…", she called softly. "Are you okay..?"

Yukio turned his head. "Hey Shiemi… How did you get in?" Yukio's voice was damp and seemed of a lifeless demon.

Shiemi frowned. "The door was open, Yuki… Are you still worried?"

Yukio nodded slowly. "Rin could very well be dead by now. What if Satan killed him alrea-"

Shiemi rushed to Yukio and hugged him. Yukio began to well up with tears. "We're all worried too Yuki. We can be worried together…"

Yukio felt warmth in Shiemi's embrace. He began to feel better. "Go back home… I'm going to talk to Sir Pheles again."

Rin was exhausted. He lied in the bed of his large room, which was filled with new (flame proof) furniture. Raeze sat by Rin's side, preparing tea. "Y-young prince… Would y-you like s-s-some… t-tea?"

Rin tilted his head to face the young demon before him. "How old are you?", Rin asked.

Raeze blinked 3 times, his white lashes fluttered in front of his grey and blue eyes. (Raeze's design was to be odd eyed, left eye blue, right eye blue.) "Raeze is 175, m-my young prince."

Rin grinned and started laughing. "You're older than that old fart!"

Raeze tilted his head. "O-old f-fart?"

Rin suddenly frowned. "You know what? Forget what I said…"

Raeze poked Rin's cheek. "You're s-suddenly quiet… I-it's Raeze's d-duty to tend t-to your wounds. E-even the mental w-wounds." Raeze looked at the tea cup he prepared. "Young P-prince, your tea is cold." He started to hear a snore. He crawled to the other side of Rin's bed to see Rin's sleeping face. "H-he fell asleep…"

Raeze smiled. He left the room to check up on the other princes. They were all asleep, at least the ones in the palace. Raeze grinned, with a strange smile that stretched from one ear to the next. The transparent end of his hair slowly became black. He walked into their rooms, only to come out later with vile of dark red blood. Raeze jumped out a high window, safely landing outside. He turned to where he jumped from, Rin's room.

"Young prince, Raeze is sorry but it's my turn to visit Assiah.", Raeze had planned something from when Rin arrived. Normally, everyone in the palace within Gehenna won't sleep but Rin's presence had made them celebrate until they all needed to rest. "Raeze doesn't want to be a slave for all his life."

Raeze started chanting, no longer speaking in his stutter. He opened the Gehenna Gate, avoiding the obstacles that came from opening it, then jumping in.


It was class time for the Exwires. They all sat in the class room, which had the depressing aura from when Rin left. Yukio walked in, papers in hand. "Okay class… It's time to take attendance."

He stood at the podium. "Okay, is Shie-"

They all heard a loud thud.

Everyone rushed outside to see a strange demon. It was Raeze, who was unconscious on the pavement. "It's a demon!", Shiemi cried.

"What does it look like?", Takara said sarcastically.

Raeze was unconscious. Yukio stepped towards him, pistol in hand. "Let's kill the demon quick-"

"Wait!", Shiemi cried out. She ran to Raeze's side and blocked him off from Yukio's aim. "He doesn't look like he can hurt us right now right? Let's see if he can help us!"

Suguro held an angry expression. "Are you stupid? What is that demon is harmful, what if he came to cause havoc?"

"P-prince… O-okum-mura…", Raeze quietly mumbled.

Everyone faced Raeze. "Let's see what he wants then.", Yukio decided.
