Amaimon had eventually fallen asleep, but was abruptly woken up from his slumber when he heard an achingly familiar screech. He frantically looked around the room, but found nothing. However, he looked towards the window as he faintly heard the screech again.
"...ster, help... I... rapped an... out..." Amaimon concentrated harder, closing his eyes and blocking out all of his senses except for audio.
"Master, help! I'm trapped and I can't get out!" Amaimon's eyes shot open when he recognized the voice.
"Behemoth? Behemoth?!" Amaimon didn't hear a reply after that. After listening for any traces of sound and finding none, he slowly narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth and fists together in anger.
"They're hurting... My... BEHEMOTH!" Amaimon screamed. He hunched over slightly as his body started to shape-shift (slightly against his will, I might add). He bit his lip as his tail grew, as his arms grew muscular, and as the horns appeared on his head. Once Amaimon was in full demon form, all he could feel was rage. His vision was blood red and he could hear a roaring in his ears as he crashed through the window.
My Behemoth... They're hurting my Behemoth... They'll pay, I'll kill them... Amaimon thought as he quickly ran to where he felt Behemoth's presence at.
Mephisto heard Amaimon's scream and a loud crashing noise, probably one of his expensive windows being smashed. He sighed. What now...?
He got up to go check on his little brother when his one jumpy secretary burst through the door. "Sir Pheles, Lord Amaimon has-"
"I am aware." Mephisto smirked. "Lord Amaimon, huh?" The secretary flushed a scarlet color and started to wave her hands around in embarrassment.
"I-I just.. He's a d-demon king too, s-so I..." She trailed off and Mephisto chuckled.
"Don't get so embarrassed, Yuka-chan~ I won't say anything if you don't want me to~ Now, if you excuse me, I need to go see what happened." Yuka nodded and stepped aside, her face still flushed. Mephisto walked past her and in the direction of where he suspected Amaimon had been hiding.
When he got to the room, he was honestly surprised to only find the window broken. Mephisto thought there'd be a flipped over bed, or maybe the carpet would be torn. He made his way towards the window and gazed out across True Cross Academy and the town that followed, careful not to cut himself on the glass.
"Oh, Amaimon, how foolish of you... Exorcists are scattered all over the place and they won't hesitate to try and kill you. Especially after what happened." Mephisto looked up at the now night sky. He frowned slightly when he caught sight of the moon. It was round and full, the silverish light shining down on everything. After all these years he's spent in Assiah, he still couldn't get over how... Nice, the moon was. Back home in Gehenna, there was only the never ending blood red sky, no stars, no moon, nothing. It was relaxing to have a night blue sky and a moon to illuminate it all.
Mephisto shook his head, clearing his thoughts, and then left the room. If Amaimon wanted to go out, it's his own decision. Mephisto wouldn't stop him, but he wouldn't save him either. He's had just enough bullshit for one day.
Rin lay on his side, his eyes blank as he stared at Yukio's bed. At first, he didn't know what to do. He paced around the room, he went down to go cook himself some dinner and prepare tomorrow's lunch, hell, he even cleaned his room! After all that was done, he read some of Yukio's manga, but even that got boring after an hour or so. Now, it was 10 at night. He had been staring helplessly at Yukio's bed for the past 2 hours.
Kuro was sleeping peacefully on Rin's side, his whiskers twitching as his dream unraveled. Rin would've probably stayed like that if a furious growl and shooting hadn't snapped him out of it. Kuro had also heard the sounds and jumped up, his fur on end and eyes wide.
"Rin, what was that?" Kuro asked, fear laced in his small mew. Rin narrowed his eyes and grabbed his sword.
"I'm not sure..." He glanced out his window and saw that stupid broccoli head fighting some exorcists, seemingly in a rage. Rin quickly ducked down as a holy bullet shattered his window and landed deep into one of his walls. Kuro ran under Rin's bed for cover as Rin crawled across the floor, then ran out of his dorm. Forget the house arrest, he needed to stop this now.
After all, you can't keep a demon in a cage.
Several shots were fired as coal tar combined into one large mass of swirling darkness. Yukio took out his other gun and shot the thing until his finger grew sore. Many other exorcists were chanting and also firing weapons at the coal tar. The Arias shouted one last verse and the coal tar mass started to grow larger and larger until they finally exploded into a black mist. Yukio clutched the barrel of his gun tightly, his palms sweaty and his breath coming out as exhausted gasps. Some older exorcists started to give orders to the group crowded around them, going on about a small break before going to repair the seals.
They had to be quick before the second wave of demons came and tried to infiltrate the academy. To make matters worse, it's night time...
"Okumura-kun, can you come help me draw the seal?" An exorcist Yukio didn't recognize asked him. Of course, Yukio nodded and crouched down to help rebuild the broken seal. Both he and Yukio rushed to finish building it as snarls and wicked cries of demons grew closer. The exorcist mumbled the word to seal it, and just in time too. Right when he finished, a demon probably related to Iblis hit the wall and cried out in pain. Yukio breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
Suddenly, a young female exorcist ran towards them, crying for help. The group turned towards her and the supposed "leader" of the group rushed over to her. They muttered quietly for a while before the female exorcist nodded and ran back to where she came from.
"Listen up! Amaimon, the King of Earth, has broken into the academy and is attacking Suika's group! She needs backup, and fast, so let's head over there as fast as we can!" The leader announced. The group of exorcists cheered and ran after him, all except one.
Yukio felt his heart sink when the name Amaimon came up. The others (excluding Shura, Mephisto, and the exwires) don't know about their previous meetings with Amaimon, and Yukio didn't feel like getting tangled up with that demon again.
Yukio stood there for a moment before sighing in frustration.
It's not like he had a choice at this point in time.
So, Yukio begrudgingly began to run after the now disappearing group.
Rage. All Amaimon could feel was rage.
The said demon king turned around to claw at another exorcist, but the exorcist jumped back and retaliated by shooting at him. Amaimon slammed his fists into the ground and he dodged it by being lifted up by pillars of rocks. The group of exorcists all aimed their guns up there and fired. Amaimon dodged every single one of them then screamed, sounding outrageous.
"YOU GUYS ARE STOPPING ME FROM SAVING MY BEHEMOTH! YOU ALL WILL PAY! ANYONE WHO TRIES TO STOP ME WILL DIE AN AGONIZINGLY SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH!"
The exorcists were fearful by the suddenly overpowered demon, but they still stood their ground.
"We'll exorcise you, you filthy demon!"
"Stop being a coward and fight!" The person who said that shot the shotgun he'd been holding and finally the bullet pierced through Amaimon's shoulder. The King of Earth fell down to one knee and held his shoulder. The bullet's holy water started to burn his skin away and he growled in pain.
"I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" Amaimon threatened and stood up, trying his absolute best to ignore the sizzling sound coming from his shoulder.
Just then, Rin burst through the dormitory doors, the Kurikara clutched in his hand. "Stop it! Don't fight, please!" Rin begged.
Amaimon gave him one of his extremely rare murderous glares. Rin gulped in terror, but refused to move.
Snap!
In an instant, Amaimon's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell forward, landing limply on the ground. The pile of rubble that he had been standing on vanished, leaving everyone, even Rin, confused.
"My, my... What a shame. Too bad it had to resort to this." The exorcists and Rin whipped their heads around to see Mephisto walking up behind them, his hands placed firmly behind his back.
Rin narrowed his eyes. What's with this clown...? Placing him under house arrest, finally showing his true colors, and now calmly walking towards him like nothing ever happened?
Mephisto walked past the group of exorcists and crouched down beside Amaimon's lifeless body.
"I told you, Amaimon... You kill any of them, and I kill you."
Haha, did you guys think I'm almost finished with this? Pft, nah, Amaimon's not coming to the rescue yet. And yes, there will be Amaimon and Rin, just it'll be later on in the story :3
Now for my apology: I AM SO SORRY I'VE BEEN INACTIVE THIS PAST MONTH AND A HALF! SOME STUFF HAPPENED IN MY PERSONAL LIFE AND I HAD NO ACCESS TO FANFICTION, BUT I AM BACK, SO NO WORRIES :D
So... There's nothing left to say, I don't think...
Review?
