He nods his head, pulls his phone out and calls Maphisto.
"This had better be an emergency," Maphisto says angrily through the phone after the first ring.
"Can I let the animals go from a zoo?" He asks in all seriousness.
"What?" Maphisto yells so loud through the phone, Amiamon has to hold it away from his ear, "Please, please, please tell me you havn't," He begs Amiamon.
"No, I wanted to check with you first,"
"Oh thank God," Maphisto says under his breath, "No you can not let the animals go. ALL of them need to stay in their cages," he says louder.
Yakria listens carfully, "I want to talk to Uncie Maphie," She says. Amiamon hands her the phone. She takes a deep breath before screaming at the top of her lungs, causing the Grigori to gasp in horror, "THEIR NOT HAPPY!" Maphisto is awe struck. He's never seen Yakria yell in anger, he's never seen the little girl angry, never even heard of her being angry from his older brother, "THEY NEED TO BE HAPPY UNCIE!" Tears start streaming down her face, "THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE LOCK IN CAGES, THEY DID NOTHING WROOOOOOONG!" She screams at the phone again causing the whole park to become silent.
"Alright, Yakria, you need to listen to me," Maphisto stays calmly trying to figure out how to deal with this over the phone, "You stay put and I'll be there in a few minutes, don't touch anything, do go any where, you stay right by Amiamon," He says the Grigorie glaring daggers at him, "I'm going to hang the phone up, and you need to do exactly as I told you, do you understand?"
"Yes,"
"Very good." With that he hangs up the phone, looks to the Grigorie, "I have an emergency I have to deal with, is there any way we can continue this after my niece goes back to Gehenna?"
"You will have someone watching you at all times," The green says coldly.
"Don't I already?" He asks thinking of Shura. With that being said he disappears from the Grigorie and into the zoo where he see's Yakria holding onto Amiamon's pant leg crying quietly.
"Come here, Yakria," He says holding his arms open wide. She runs to him and starts sobbing.
"Their not happy, their sad and lonely, Uncie Maphie," She sobs so hard she starts to cough roughly.
He pats her back trying to calm her down as Shura walks into view, "Uncle Maphisto is going to make it all better, okay?" She nods her head but continues to sob making his cape wet and slimy. "Amiamon, is their petting zoo open?" He nods his head, staring off into space, dreaming about candy agian, "Hay, you want to go pet some bunnies?" Maphisto asks Yakria who calms down slightly. He holds her out so he can look at her, holding her so she is sitting on his hands.
"What's a bunny?" She asks whipping the tears away.
"Well, why don't we go see what a bunny is," With that he walks past Amiamon, "Go get your fix before you loose it," He says. Amiamon is gone in less then a second. After a little bit of walking, they come upon a small, short enclosure with a small sign reading Petting Zoo; Open 2pm to 6pm, "Alright, Yakria, here we are, now tell me what do you think the bunny is? He asks putting her into the enclosure where she just sits on the grass.
A goat walks up to her and nuzzels her face, leaving the food another kid was feeding her. Yakria smiles lightly, and pets her nose, "Are you a bunny?" She asks the goat who bah's back to her,"
"No, that's a goat," Maphisto smiles. An armadilo waddles his way up to Yakria and plops himself in her lap.
"Are you a bunny?" She asks petting him as he closes his eyes and falls alseep.
"No, that's not a bunny either," Shura walks up to stand next to Maphisto, a blank expression on her face as she see's all the animals in the small enclouser begin to surround her.
"Are you a bunny?" she asks a snake who just sniffs her hand and coils down by her feet. Finally a rabbit hops his way up to Yakria. She gasps causing the armidillo to wake up and leave her lap, "Are you a bunny?" She asks petting the rabbit's white and black fur. It's nose twitches happily as it looks at Yakria who picks him up and puts him in her lap, "Your so cute!" She giggles as the rabbit licks her hand, "Are you a happy bunny?" She asks setting the bunny back down, gets on all fours and starts following the rabbit as he hops around, "Happy bunny, happy bunny, happy bunny hop!" She sings. Suddenly she stops, "Uncie Maphie?" She stands back up and goes to the edge of the enclousre.
"What dear?"
"Can I bring him home?"
"You can't take a bunny back to Gehenna, dear, he would die," Maphisto explains.
Yakria looks down at the bunny who happily hops around munching on the grass, "Oh, I don't want the bunny to die," She says holding her arms up for Maphisto to take her out of the pen, "I want the bunny to be happy," She explains looking into his eyes as he holds her to his chest, "But I also want the bunny to play with at your house,"
"I can't take care of a bunny when your not around," Maphisto tries explaining to Yakria who begins to cry, "I could get you a fish," He says not wanting the adorable girl to cry again.
"I don't want a fish," She begins to sob again, "I want a bunny that hops!" She yells getting angry. Maphiso sighs heavily.
"Yakria," Maphisto says in a stern voice, "You are not getting a bunny and that is final,"
Yakria's eyes grow big at his tone of voie.
Great, now I'm going to have a rampaging five year old to deal with Shura thinks, getting ready to summon her snake sword.
"Will the bunny be happy here?" She asks after the inital shock of Maphisto scolding her. "I think so, he gets to be pet all the time, and lots of yummy food," Maphisto says, back to his old self, "I'm sure the bunny will be happier here then in my office in a cage all the time,"
"Okay," Yakria admits defeat and wraps her arms around Maphisto's neck in a hug.
"Are you hungry?" He asks turning to look at Shura who relaxes again. Yakria nods her head starting to feel tired from the tantrum she had, "Alright, lets go get food," He walks out of the zoo.
"Hay, can I trust you not to do anything stupid?" Shura asks Maphisto when they are about a block from the zoo.
"Me? Stupid?" He gasps as Yakria falls asleep on his shoulder, "That is just insulting,"
"I'll take that as a yes, I got a things have to do tonight, that don't include baby sitting a babysitting demon.
"What, you got a hot date or something?"
"Actually, yes, I do," With that, she walks away. As she turns a cornor his phone goes off. "Hello?"
"Holy shit!"Yukio's voice is hear yelling over the phone. Maphisto's heart beat immediatly jumps, "Somethings extreamly wrong with Rin!" He yells.
"What's going on?"
"You have to see it to believe it, we're at the cram school," With that Yukio hangs up the phone.
"I can never get peace and quiet, can I?" He poofs from the side walk out side the cram school door, "What is going on?" He asks Yakria out cold on his shoulder.
"He..." Yukio stairs at his twin brother sitting triumphently in his desk, "He,"
"Spit it out already!"
"He got an A on a test!"
Maphisto starts to laugh, waking Yakria up who rubs her eyes lazily, "That's funny, Yukio, thats a good joke,"
Rin's face falls, "That's not funny, clown!" He yells. Yakria turns toward the sound.
She smiles lightly and holds her hands out, "Uncie Rin!"
"Hi cutie," He gets up from the desk and takes her from Maphisto, "It's not a joke, clown!" He glares at Maphisto as Yakria giggles at Rin's tail.
"Oh? Then I want to see proof," Yukio holds up a paper. He snatches it and scanes over it quickly, "WOW!" He yells, "I can't believe my little brother is finally sprouting a brain!" Yukio laughs at this.
"That's not funny, you stuipd clown!" Rin hold Yakria close but grabs his sword.
"What is that?" Yakria asks touching the fabric lightly. She jumps back and gasps, looking from the sword to Rin then Yukio then back.
"What's wrong?" Rin asks when Yakria's pupils shrink slightly.
"It feels like Grandpa!" She says with a smile on her face.
"Grandpa?" The twins say at the same time.
"How soon you two forget," Maphisto chuckels, "She is Satan's first grandchild,"
The twins share a face of shock and fear, "So we are actually her uncles," Yukio says. As Rin is preoccupied, Yakria makes quick work of the cloth, it falls to the floor, causing Rin to look at her as she tries to open the blade.
"Woh! We're not playing with that!" Rin yells pulling her away, but she grabs the hilt and takes it with her. Blue flames shoot out of the sword and Rins body. As they do so, Yakria's eyes turn completly red.
Hello, Yakria, She hear's Satan's voice in her head.
Hi Grandpa! I miss you lots. But I'm having so much fun here to! She explains telaphaticlly, Uncie Ahma took me to the zoo today and I got to see all the aminals, but they wern't happy. They were all stuck in cages," She explains.
Satan chuckles, You remind me so much of Yuri every day How would you like me to come visit you tomorrow night? He asks feeling the smile on Yakria's lips at the chance to see her grandpa again.
Ya! I can show you the happy bunny hop!
Alright, you can show me the happy bunny hop, but I won't be able to stay long. That doesn't mean I don't love you any less.
I know Grandpa, I love you to.
Unbenoust to the other three in the room, Yakria had just carried on a full convorsation with Satan through the sword. Even though it felt like minutes to Yakria, it was only three seconds for Rin to scheth the blade back in.
