Chapter 3

Gehenna

Today was the first day of what Rin knew would be an eternity down here and he hated it. He hated how cruel this place was. However, it also felt like home in some way...Like it could be somewhat comforting. Maybe the longer he was here it would only get better… No, he couldn't think like that! He knew he needed to get out and just maybe he would. Soon…

Rin had been too distracted by his thoughts as he had been walking down the hallway. He was heading over to see his Father as he had been summoned. Even though he was tempted at the time to go back, he didn't want to anger the God of Gehenna. Finally managing to focus, he looked up, only to have been run into, forcing him to fall to the ground. He simply glared up at the other.

"Watch the hell where you are going, you idiot," the other snapped, a servant at that. "It is very rude to run into others, you know."

This made Rin mad as he stood up slowly and yelled, "Excuse me, you ran into me, so I would say it is you who need to watch where you are going." Blue flames were lit as he felt a bit of anger towards this demon servant. Though he quickly saw this and cooled them down.

"Oh no, my Prince, I am sorry, I should have known it was you," The demon began to tremble suddenly, seemingly scared and looked around as if he was paranoid. "I will not let this happen again, my young prince, just please don't kill me."

"Wait, what makes you think I would kill you," Rin asked, almost looking sincere now, "I'm not like my father and I have no intention on killing you, just don't let it happen again."

The young prince hadn't even noticed who was behind him, Satan, whom had seen and heard everything. To be honest, it enraged him. The servant had disrespected his son and yet the other was so kind to show mercy? There was no way he would ever allow that. His son was too kind… too human, but he would change that.

Satan glared the servant, whom saw him and was now panicking even more. But this did not make the God happy, not until he got what he deserved.

"Such kindness from you, my son, it's sickening…" He snarled, forcing the younger demon to turn to look at him, just then he would glare at him with nothing but coldness. "It seems you haven't learned anything at all in your short time down here, I will have to teach you. First off, you will do well to know that kindness will only bring you death here…"

The servant did now attempt to sneak away now that it seemed Lord Satan was distracted. However he had been caught and knew that he was being glared at. His trembling increased..

"Don't you dare leave servant or I will kill you right now," Satan snarled, making the servant freeze up as he returned his focus on Rin. "Such mercy is unbefitting of a demon, especially of my own blood."

Rin, too, found himself in a frozen state. He could run right now, just bolt and hope to get away while he could. However, what use would it be, he was in Gehenna… The place where he couldn't run at all. No place to hide at all.

"But that is just it, I am not a demon, I was raised human and I will always be a human," Rin replied quietly, though his tone was dark and serious. "Please just let him go, Lord Satan."

"Oh are you now? Well I see you were also raised as an idiot, otherwise you would have known not to oppose me. Didn't you learn that that first time, hm? Also, if you think you are human, check again. I broke the sword that held your demon half away. Whatever humanity you think you have isn't there anymore. You are a demon. Not just that, but a young demon prince." The God continued to snarl before calming slightly. "Let him go? Now why would I do that when he did nothing but disrespect you. I will not allow some lower class demon disrespect my son and get away with it and neither shall you. He will be punished."

Suddenly a smirk appeared on the older demons face. Oh, he had a perfect idea. Why didn't he think of this before? Rin's first kill… Maybe this was exactly what his son needed. What would awaken that untapped potential, his true nature.

Rin saw that face and, to be honest, it scared him. He knew that Satan now had a plan and one he wouldn't like. What was it? Either way it was bad. He did frown, though, simply looking down in shame as he really couldn't argue. What kind of human had blue flames?

"I-I really am a demon? but how could I when I still feel so human," he said sadly, now looking over at the servant apologetically. "Lord Satan, punish me, you don't need to punish him."

"Tsk, look at you, my own son…. Burdened by the curse of morality. This is what happens when you are raised so far from home but don't worry, I will fix everything right now." Satan replied, still smirking, though his grin did widen. "Today is the day you feel how wonderful it is to be a demon, to be my son. Oh, he will be punished but I won't be the one doing it, you will. Kill him." His face was now serious.

"Please, Lord Satan, I beg of you! I said I would never do it again and I mean it…" The servant pleaded but was in vain as he got no response, just silence.

Rin was trembling now but still had the balls to shake his head. How could he go as far as to kill the demon who apologized? Who was innocent in all of this? More importantly, how could he sacrifice his remaining humanity to do so? Though it was obvious by the look on Satan's face that there was no way out of this.

His frown deepened as he looked over at the servant once more. The words 'I'm sorry' could be understood as he slowly approached them. If he didn't do this, he would die and he would never see Yukio again, regardless. If this is what he had to do… He reached out to possibly snap the demon servants neck but he was stopped.

"Nuh uh, that simply won't do, far too merciful... No, you will kill him slowly and give him as much pain as the humans gave you." Satan whispered seductively in his ear. "Those humans, what you called family, lied to you. They wouldn't tell you the truth because they were scared, they didn't trust you. They knew that they would have to kill you the moment they had to. They hate you. Do this and you will feel so much better."

Rin gulped as he couldn't help but listen to Satan's words. He didn't want to believe it but at the same time, he did. The voices in his head merely echoed those words repeatedly. Maybe this was for the best. After all, he had been lied too… All of those fake feelings towards him, what did he have left? His rage increased more with each thought.

The young demon couldn't think straight now, his rage had completely taken over now as he was engulfed in blue flames. This was nothing he could control and maybe he didn't want to. Before he knew it, his long sharp claws plunged through the servants chest and he slowly and painfully tore out the heart in his hands. Within a second the heart had been crushed and the servants body burned to a crisp. Meanwhile, Satan just watched with much pleasure.

|How about a little Rin torture time, huh? What a nice thing. xD Just kidding, though I am a bit sadistic with my characters sometimes!
