Firstly, sorry for not updating in a while but I think I mentioned in the last chapter about how I'm getting Degus!Well I got some! I got three, and named them Rin, Mephisto and Amaimon, I wanted a fourth but they had one more in store and he had to be in a separate cage from the rest so I couldn't get him,I WAS GONNA CALL HIM YUKIO ..… Please add me on snapchat: jordann1709 (remember the double n) for cute ass degu pictures and also pictures of my doggo bobby (GREATEST DOGGER EVER), also that way you can send in plot ideas such as Yukio's familiar, most people said a wise owl I think and I was thinking that too but I feel like it would be too similar to Harry Potter and I want to make it some what original. IDK though so continue to help.
Slight warning, this may contain SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't read the manga, not loads but if you've only seen the anime you may not be familiar with Lucifer, the demon king of light and Mephisto's (Sameal's) older brother, and Satan's eldest son. He is the most powerful being in Gehenna after Satan.
I will try and update faster but honestly I am literal trash and I have no excuses apart from forgetting.
In advance I want to apologise for spelling, grammar and any other mistakes I made, I understand I'm not the best, I accept constructive criticism but not rudeness - also I'm a low-key chav so I was raised with slang, so I have a habit of this and also a bad habit of adding m8 on the end of every sentence.
Yukio's POV
It's been four days now since we met the demon king of water, and four days since I became guilty with manslaughter. My training continued but luckily, I was now able to train along side Rin. Satan would only demonstrate his expectations to us, tell us in grave detail about how pathetic we were, and then leave us with some high level demons who were instructed to train us in his absence. Apparently being the God of the underworld meant you had many jobs to do, such as paperwork, village problems from all over the world, and more, but I didn't ask for details. I was kind of glad that Satan wasn't with us every second, it would only add to our apprehension. He checked on our progress every now and then, of course telling us we were worms that would be crushed under his boots and that we could do better.
Luckily we haven't had any problems with any of the demon kings lately. Iblis dropped by to speak to Satan about something confidential, he decided to visit us on his way out and tease Rin. Azazel came by a few times, which I didn't mind, he seemed the most sane out of all the kings. Yesterday, Lucifer came by as well, he spoke to Satan several hours in one of the meeting rooms. I heard servants gossiping saying he temporarily has left his post at the illuminati after his father urged him to spend some time in his home land, and whatever medical condition he had seemed to be doing quite well now that he's back in Gehenna. He hasn't mentioned anything about what happened last time we met, I guess thats all on hold for when we get back to Assiah…if we get back that is.
"Prince Yukio, it's time for your bath, would you like me to run it for you now?" The bowing maid questioned, I noticed she had bruises on her collarbones and cheeks.
"Yes that's fine." With slight apprehension I realised my bit back tongue and let the question slip out. "May I ask what those bruises are?"
She shivered and smiled, not making eye contact. "They're nothing my Prince, don't worry."
"Please tell me."
"There was lack of kitchen maids so I was filling in for one, whilst your brother Iblis was here I brought him his requested dish but it was not to his liking, my Prince."
"So he beat you? Why didn't you try stop him?"
"Prince, I don't believe you understand, here in Gehenna, this is how it works, I don't know much about how you were raised as your father declares I not share the little information I have, and of course I wouldn't. I merely know you were raised in Assiah and may not know how things work around here. Please try and adjust, young Prince."
"My brother and I were born and raised in Assiah, we were raised by a paladin-" I was cut off by her quite loud gasps and a shocked look sprouted on her face.
"I'm so sorry my Prince, I had no idea you'd lived such a horrible life, I cannot imagine that pain you have been through, you are safe now."
"I was never in danger, my dad was a great paladin and he loved my brother and I so much, he was a legendary man. I was an exorcist myself, though my greatness could never compare to his, Rin was training to become an exorcist too, all until we were kidnapped and brought here."
"You…were…Prince, please, don't say such dirty lies, even as a joke it's not as a royal should be."
"It isn't a lie, I worked for the Knights of the true cross as an exorcist, I also taught exorcism in demon pharmaceuticals to exorcists in training."
"It is imperative that you must not repeat that to anyone else, my Prince, do you understand?"
"I won't, I promise." Her face relaxed a little yet still showed a worried overtone. "Please, sit down."
I guested to the end of my bed and with long hesitation she obeyed.
"I'M SORRY MY PRINCE, PLEASE, BE MERCIFUL." Her arms covered her face in and order to protect it.
I reached out and pulled her arms away gently. I could feel her whole body shaking and her eyes were clenched shut, tears threatening to drip.
"What's wrong? I'm not going to hurt you."
"I disobeyed the rules, my Prince, I have to take full responsibility for my crimes."
"Hold on, what rules?"
"There are rules for every servant that works for your father, and I broke one of the maid rules."
"Please, explain these maid rules to me?"
"1) All maids must follow their masters orders and answer any questions they have honestly, unless told otherwise by the highest force.2) All maids must be strong enough to carry out the duties expected. 3) All maids must dress in their assigned clothing given to them upon their first day, unless their master tells them otherwise or wishes to make adjustments. 4) All maids must speak with respect to their master, and understand how little they are, and how superior their master is. 5) All demands must require instant completion if possible, orders should not take apprehension, and should not be questioned. 6) Any maid deemed to pathetic to live or to weak to carry out a task to satisfaction, will be executed by the hand of their master. 7) All maids must accept their punishments, whether the penalty is a beating, a cell sentence, death or other."
"In Assiah, that isn't what happens, I won't follow those rules."
"My Prince, your in Gehenna right now, and I broke rule 5, therefore I must be punished."
"If I'm the master, then what I say goes, and I say I'm not going to hurt you, so please don't worry. I want to talk to you."
"If you wish for that desire my Prince, then I can bring a succubus, although I am also able to deliver myself."
"Um…no…I don't want that, I wish to talk to you about Assiah, have you ever been? What knowledge do you have of it?"
"I have never been, the only ways for a demon to get to Assiah would to be to posses something in that world, or for your father to open a gate for that said demon, or sometimes phantom trains will take you there but it depends on the situation. A unworthy one such as myself will not get the honour. I have little knowledge apart from what humans are and what exorcists are."
"Assiah is a world with beauty, nature, love, many places to explore. You should go there, try live in peace and escape this place."
"My Prince, you speak of Assiah bettering Gehenna, yet you haven't even seen Gehenna yet. The castle walls may be boring and dull but once your basic and first level training is complete you will be able to venture out into your homeland." She looked down and nervously twiddled with the loose end of the bow on her dress. "Also, My young Prince, it may not be my place to say this, but this is not how someone of your high class should act. You are not to be kind to the servants, but tolerant upon till bad behaviour or such. I'll go get your bath running, your highness."
Rin's POV
"Today will be your first day of combat training, your father is busy and out of the kingdom today. We will start with you two individually going up against a trained guard, to test out what current skill. Then you'll both work together to take out a medium sized group of highly trained guards. This will be hand to hand combat so you may not use any weapons. Also your not to use your flames."
Back when my old man was still alive, and Yukio and I were still in Assiah, I was getting into fights almost every day. Random thugs, assholes, people who pissed me off, they were some of the people who I'd beat up.
"Now." The instructor roared, clicking her fingers and signalling the doors to open. Inside stepped two fairly large demons, one was goat looking but had a reptile tail and beady eyes. The second demon was muscular and neon colours, he looked so inhuman it was odd, even for a demon.
"So what a-" Yukio started off, before a fist smacked against his jaw. Suddenly a sharp pain shot up my stomach. A black shoe collided with my face and sent me knocking back against the wall. It was the reptile goat. Smirking, I stood back up and lightly squatted waiting for the next attack. A third arm grew from behind his back, coming straight for my face. I dodged with ease, swinging my first to block his other arm. I flipped him to the floor with my foot and kicked him over to his stomach.
My flames surrounded me, burning brightly, only I didn't summon them.
"No using your flames, Prince Rin, I told you that." Growled the instructor.
"I won't use them, they're just here for decoration." I smirked again, before using my foot to re-pin the struggling demon beneath my grip. My clawed hands reached for his long scaly, exposed tail, a claw cutting through the scales with ease. A loud screech could be heard from the goat lizard, I dug my claws deeper and deeper, slicing deeper into the flesh until I felt the flickering bone. I had to admit, I liked it. I liked the feeling of his blood soaking my hand, the feeling of his scared frame beneath me.
He lurched himself upwards with all his strength, but it still wasn't enough. With one last pull my hand retreated, a blood covered scaly tail in my hand. Screams filled the hollow room we were in, echoing most likely, throughout the whole lower level of the castle we were currently in.
Yukio and the clown probably tried to tell me about demon weakness's but I only really know that a demons tail is one of them, as it hurts like a bitch when I bend mine in the wrong way. The other being a heart, I think, but it seemed less cruel ripping off his tail then ripping out his heart.
I laughed nervously, hand locked in my hair as a basic habit. "Hey, ugh, sorry man!" I smiled as best as I could, handing his tail back to him. "Erm…do you need a doctor?"
"Prince Rin, he's dead."
"Dead? I only meant to hurt him a little, how is he dead?"
"If a demons heart or tail is completely removed from their body, they die. Most demons hide their tail, then the ones who don't are either foolish or great in power, and feel no need to hide weaknesses. Kind of as if it's a mock full gesture."
TEN HOURS LATER
"That was intense as fuck, I'm aching all over." I complained to Yukio as we made our way back to my room.
"Don't curse Rin."
" .Cu-"
"Nii-san!Stop being so immature, please."
I laughed as I opened the door to my room, Kuro coming over to greet us.
Rin, that maids on your phone, and I think I hear your friend's voice.
"What? Friends…" My butler/maid was standing near the window with my phone to her pointed ear. I could hear a low voice speaking back to her, it sounded kind of like…SHURA!
"Hey, give me that!" I yelled somewhat excitedly as I grabbed the phone from her gloved hand.
"Oh, young Prince, you are back, Prince Yukio." She bowed before us "There is a lady on the phone for you, I shall leave you to speak to her."
'Shura? Is that you?'
'Rin? Ah finally! Or should I address you as young prince?'
'Cut the crap Shura, what's going on?'
"Well, everyone from the cram schools at your home in the monastery trying to figure out a way to bring you and four eyes home, so I can kick the shit outa ye' for getting kidnapped and taken to fucking Gehenna!'
'It wasn't our fault, it just-'
'Yeah, yeah, fine, is moley chicken with you?'
'Stop calling me that.'
"Alright, listen, its not the most full proof plan but we have a phantom train under our command - long story, I'll explain later, just get too somewhere called 'Ocean vakieopek station', there you'll find a huge goo monster train, yellow, board it and it'll bring you home.'
'How did you get a phantom train under your control? How do you know this place exists? Where is it?'
'I said I'll explain later four eyes! A group of us will be waiting for you to return and then we'll exorcise it, okay, hurry.'
'Wait, how are we supposed to escape from the castle? Were not allowed to leave?'
'Can't help ya with that! Sorry.'
The phone call ended, and we stood there a few moments, frozen.
"Okay then, any ideas how to get out if here?" I asked Yukio, hoping his smartness would pay off in this moment.
"No…"
Rin, are we going home?
"We sure are, Kuro!" I grinned down at my cat sidhe, who had squinted, sleepy eyes.
"Nii-san, I have a plan…but it's ridiculous, but maybe our only option."
"It's probably better then anything i could come up with."
"Okay, let's sneak down to the lower levels of the castle to the succubus' rooms, I heard some of the demon kings speaking about them having a whole closet of clothes and makeup to dress up for their clients."
"What are you saying?"
"Let's dress up as succubus' and sneak out of the castle."
"That's crazy." ….. "I'm in."
Yukio's POV
We found black cloaks deep in Rin's closet, we pulled the hoods over our faces and crept down to the lower levels of the palace. In an attempt to stay out of the eye of servants or any witnesses we took the long way around.
Finally we came to a small singular door which was a tinged greyish black with no embellishments but a carved lions head with a door handle swinging from it's mouth. We pushed it open and travelled down the long hallway that ended with stairs, and another smaller door way.
At least thirty female demon eyes were laid on us, each different colours, each showing different emotions.
"You two must be the new princes, the one who have Master Satan's powers, welcome my young lords." Whispered a succubus with knee length midnight hair.
Every girl bowed before rising, creeping forward, laying hands on our shoulders.
"My Princes, please let me be your first."
"No, I have a better body then you."
"No, I will be the princes first!"
"Um, you..and you…follow us to your closet."
"Of course my Prince."
"I love when guys dress me up."
A green haired demon with alluring emerald eyes wrapped her arms around me, escorting me through some back doors.
Yukio had a dark purple haired succubus in a corset and panties. "So wha-" A hand whipped over her mouth.
"Shut up, and do exactly as I say." Yukio growled, blue flames growing around him, both girls eyes widened in terror. "I promise I will kill you if you tell anyone we were down here, including my father." I saw him cringe at the word 'father.
"My Prince, you don't have to be embarrassed, I can-"
"It isn't about that, were not here to fuck you. Now, find us some clothes that'll fit us but cover any unfeminine like features, do our makeup to make us as unrecognisable as possible, any hair extensions or head wear is essential. Mask our scent with that perfume your wearing."
I was kind of surprised at how well Yukio played the part, he actually kind of scared me for a second. Both girls obeyed, trembling the whole time. The whole process took about thirty minutes or so. When they were done, I had to admit, we looked hot!
I had on a deep blue wig that was ass length and a tight black body suit with an apron style tutu over the waist. Yukio now had pastel pink hair, deep black tights and a close fitting black dress with cut out parts.
"Never tell this to anyone, make sure those other girls know not to mention we were down here, and you are to not inform them of anything that happened in here."
They nodded obediently before showing us to the back door.
"This is an underground passage way and the one we use to leave the castle when we have permission."
"Thank you."
"Rin, come on."
Yukio grabbed my hand and led me into the tunnel, the door slammed behind us., sealing us in the darkness. We were one step closer to returning home to see our friends, and one step closing to the beating of a life time from Shura…
Sorry for the utter shit that was this chapter, and sorry for the randomness. This is the only way i could think of them for them to escape as the palace is heavily guarded and they haven't learnt how to transform (like mephisto's dog & cockroach form or amazons hamster - hamaimon!) Shout out to the reviewer Josh on archive of their own for being awesome af and making me super happy when I get the email notification from his lovely reviews! I will try update faster, please message me and yell at me, it motivates me!
