I finally updated in a kinda reasonable length of time! I had fun writing this chapter and I thought a lot about where I want this story to go as well!
Just some little random notes from me, not important but let's see if anyone gives a shit about the author!
It's my mom's birthday this Sunday, as well as my friends, AND, it's also Mephisto's ^.^
Speaking of Mephisto's, my degu's (Rin, Amaimon and Mephisto) are doing great! Mephisto and Rin seem like they enjoy being held, so does Amaimon the other two come up to me when I have my hand in the cage and there super adorable! Add my snapchat for cute ass pics of them, and also pics of my kawaii dogger, Bobby!
It's my birthday in like two weeks! I'll be fifteen and of course, I'm having a blue exorcist birthday cake ! Again add my snapchat to see my blue exorcist cake :)) (Jordann1709, don't forget the double n)
It seemed like hours later that we finally reached the end of the tunnel, there was a large door where two guards stood.
"Nii-san, walk feminine." Yukio whispered as he arched his back and glided forward.
"How the hell am I supposed to do that…whoa Yukio, your pretty good at being a woman." I watched my brother walk flawlessly, not stumbling once despite the heels he was wearing "If i didn't know any better I'd assume your a cross dresser."
"I'm NOT a cross dresser!" He whisper-shouted, attempting to keep his face calm.
"Hey, I don't mind if you are, I accept you anyway you are…your already my adorable little brother but you can always be my adorable little sister too if you'd like."
"Nii-san, now is not the time for your jokes."
"I'm not joking -whoa, shit."
"Nii-san don't fall you don't want to look inconspicuous in front of the guards, get up."
"A succubus stumbling in heals? Never heard of that one." Boomed one of the guards as he eyed us both us.
"Yeah well, when you've been fucked in the ass as many times as I have it gets hard to walk after a while." I smiled whilst trying to calm the nervous tinge to my voice.
I looked over to Yukio who was wide eyed and somewhat embarrassed. The guards opened the doors for us and we were finally outside of the castle walls. It was a field which was covered in what looked to be black grass, but when touched it was ash.
"This is obviously not close to where we want to be, we need to get to more populated areas, come on."
"Arghh, these heels are killing me." I whined as I focussed my attention on my throbbing feet.
"Don't focus on the pain, instead look at the view. I imagined Gehenna to be a world of nothingness, fire pits and screams, but so far everything is so beautiful." Yukio replied.
This was the first time we saw Gehenna for what it was, and not just corridors and small glances from the window. I noticed the sky changed colours from various times and areas, it was currently a dusky green with a red horizon overlapping. Mountains could be made out in the distance and they looked sparkly, and thorny like a rose. The ground was hot but I think that was due to the sun, which was crimson red.
Eventually, we made our way to a small town. A market was our first look at the residents of this world. There were serval stalls selling some familiar objects such as clothes, bags, pens, notebooks, and other more random items such as a tv remote, a few odd shoes, and shells. I imagine Assiah goods go for quite a lot of money here, there was another stand selling Assiahan foods. Market stalls also sold unrecognisable items which seemed to fit a typical demonic stereotype with its deathly colours and cursed feel.
I also noticed the people here didn't speak Japanese, nor English, or any other language from Assiah. It was a foreign tongue that had a hissing effect to their words, a language that spoke with pure darkness. Everything we heard sounded so unclean and demonic. I suppose I should of expected that from the demon world, but I was kinda hoping we'd run into a super friendly demon who could speak our language who could show us the way to our destination, but of course that chance was pretty weak.
Another thing which surprised me but probably shouldn't of, was how people looked. Or how the things looked. Were they to even be considered people? There were very few humanoid demons, and some were most likely bodies stolen from Assiah. I saw demons who looked exactly the part, huge and black with red eyes, fallen angel wings and a devils tail. Others looked as if a child drew them.
"Ocean vakieopek station has the word ocean in it, now is that just its name or is it because its near an ocean? Is it possible it could be in Egyn's realm?"
"I don't know, your the smart one."
"I'll take that risk, now lets figure out where Egyn's realm is."
We walked past the market and around a white ash covered hill, we came to woodland style areas. The ground was purely black earth and trees and other plant life were extremely different. A few greenmen sat in some of the taller plants.
"What's all these burrows in the ground?"
"I'm not sure, perhaps demon foxes similar to Izumo's."
"Rin, I smell something."
"What is it Kuro?"
"I don't know, but they're coming from the burrows."
"It's probably a demonic animal of some sort."
"I smell a cat-sidhe Rin! I smell my kind."
"Really? You do?"
"Kuro, do you think you could talk to them and ask for directions."
"I'm not sure, I can try but I don't get on so well with them anymore, ever since I started siding with humans. I don't even have my fang anymore!"
"It's worth a try, hey look. theres one now."
A black cat-sidhe emerged from the burrow, it had brown patches and ruffled ears.
"I thought I smelled another of our kind out here, hello there, this territory is already claimed, get lost."
"I don't want your territory but we're lost, can you please help us with directions?"
"I have better things to do then help fangless scum like you with th- OH!I apologise noble one, I'd be happy to help you. Please forgive my rudeness."
"I don't get it, what changed?" I asked the cat sidhe who was sort of bowing.
"I didn't realise you were a rare one, two tailed cat sides are extremely rare and are supposed to originate from Japan I believe, hold on, I'll go get our brethren to escort you to your desired destination."
He disappeared into his burrow and ten seconds later about twenty cat-sidhe's popped out, all gushing in joy at Kuro. Meowing stuff such as 'i've never seen a two tailed one' and 'oh great one, thank you for visiting'. Once the excitement wore off and we told them where we needed to be, all twenty-one cat-sidhe's changed into their demonic form and took to the sky. Yukio and I were travelling on Kuro.
"From this height we can see more of Gehenna, look how beautiful it is."Yukio admired, holding onto his jittering glasses.
"I never thought of the demon world being so angelic."
"Don't be fooled, yes some of Gehenna is breathtakingly beautiful but it is nothing compare to the wonders of Assiah, and there are plenty of terrible places in Gehenna, more bad then good."
"I suppose Assiah has it's share of shitty places too."
After a while the sky grew darker, and the temperature drew colder. These slutty outfits didn't really keep anything warm, Yukio and I snuggled into Kuro's fur for comfort.
"How much longer for us to go?" I asked growing impatient and tired of the views and the many cat sidhe's asking Kuro questions.
"We've been in flight now for roughly five hours now."
"What? Really? How far away is this place?"
"Six hours by air."
An hour later, we landed in a dark forrest. The cat sidhe's changed back to their smaller form.
"We cannot take you any farther as it's dangerous, its cat-sidhe hunting season."
"Hunting season? You mean they eat us here? Rinnie! Help!" I guess this is why they traveled in a pack…
"Don't worry Kuro, I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." I smiled at the cat sidhe who jumped up on my shoulder and nuzzled my cheek.
"I can give you directions from here, if you follow that path down the hill it will bring you out to the village streets, but up there past the mini trees is where the town is, from there go left and you'll walk past a fountain. They'll be a sign with Gehennian writing on it, of course you cant read it as you appear to be from Assiah, but they'll be a picture of a phantom train on it, thats how you know where the station is."
"Thank you for all your help, we appreciate it." Yukio thanked the cat sidhe's who started to head back towards there home.
I was thankful Yukio was here, as he was pretty good at remembering stuff such as directions where I could only remember a fountain. Kuro stayed on my shoulder hidden in my new, fake hair.
"We've passed the village and the trees and were in the town now, we need to take a left."
"Whatever, your the boss."
Five minutes or so passed and we were still walking through the town. It seemed quite busy today, but then again, I don't have a comparison day. All I knew that it was packed, demons of all kinds rushed about, in small groups or alone.
"Hey look, theres the fountain." I could feel my grin as I knew I was a step closer to returning home.
"And there's the sign, the station is- nii-san, look!"
"Shit…thats Balls-ze-rubz or whatever right, and the egg dude!"
"Beelzebub and Egyn." Yukio sighed at my pronunciations "Just ignore them and don't look at them."
Yukio took the lead and I followed whilst keeping my head down. I was concentrating on not falling over in these heels and besides, attention it the last thing we want to attract right now and I'm sure everyone would acknowledge a trip. Plus I'd be a laughing stock.
"Wow." I felt a sweaty hand on my shoulder. "Your a pretty little thing, aren't you."
"Err…I guess." I stuttered back in a high pitched feminine voice.
"So modest, aren't you going to bow to the king, you may be a hot commoner but your still a commoner."
"Of course Sorry King Beeeeee-,sorry I'm not good with pronunciations."
"I don't mind, as long as your good at sucking dick."
Holy shit, i hope this cunt doesn't expect me to suck him off, I can't do that!
"Forgive the intrusion my King but your father has requested to speak to you remember? We must continue our journey to his castle."
"You. Drop by my castle sometime, bring your little friend over there too." A clawed hand slapped my ass before the demon king turned away.
"Nii-san…"
"I was violated."
"Rin…"
"Yukio…He touched my lady parts!"
"Come on Rin, let's get going, besides, you don't even have lady parts."
I sulked up my sexual harassment and followed my brother towards the station.
"This is it, finally." Yukio exclaimed, his eyes sparkling. "And look, theres the phantom train."
"Erm..how do we get onto this thing…it's just goo?" I examined the phantom train to look for a way inside, but I could see nothing. It looked the same as the one I fought before when rescuing those ghosts with Shiemi whilst we were on that mission with Yukio.
"Those demons over there are just walking straight though it, let's try."
"Walk…through..that thing?"
Yukio didn't reply as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me through the bubbling flesh, if you could even call it that.
I was quite amazed to see that inside it looked like a regular train, there were seats and windows, as well as those handles for you to hold onto. There were a few other demons aboard as well, but not many.
"Don't phantom trains eat their passengers, will we be safe in here?"
"They only eat human passengers, so we will be safe. I'm glad your remembering my teachings though, I'm impressed."
"Shut up your four eyed moley nipple!"
"Moley nipple, that's new."
"Do you like it?'
"No."
I laughed at my brothers stone cold face, and I followed him as he sat down at a window seat.
"So how will this thing even get to Assiah, don't we need a gate for that?"
"I imagine it will posses a train in Assiah."
That's exactly what it did, it felt strange and shaky when it happened. Everything turned black and hollow and then when the colours retuned I could feel the change in the atmosphere. This was Assiah.
"I just hope were in Japan."
"Theres some signs written in Kanji down there, I think we are." I responded pointing a finger out the window.
I could see Yukio relax, his once tense shoulders soften and his posture sink. All three of us enjoyed the ride home, and we tried to keep out excitement at bay as the sightings outside the window started to become more and more recognisable. This was Tokyo.
"Look theres Shura! And Shima and Nagatomo, and theres everyone else!" I started waving like mad but was reminded by Yukio we were inside of a demons stomach disguised as a train therefor, no one not inside the train could see us.
"Come on nii-san, let's get off the train."
We pushed ourselves out of the goo once more, and exited the train.
"Hey guys, what up?" I smiled, waving at everyone.
Ignored.
"Where are those idiots, we've bene standing here for five hours, what if they weren't able to even get outside the castle?" Izumo complained with her tiny brows arched.
"Guys, it's us, we made it back." I said again walking towards them.
"Well hello there, you two are a couple of fine lookin' ladies, do you wanna go get some coffee or something?"
"Shima it's us, you idiot." I laughed pulling off my wig.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
And never have I heard such a girlish scream, ever.
"Rin, Yuki!" Shiemi smiled rushing over and hugging us. "You two had me so worried!"
Everyone else was silent with their mouths gaping open, apart from Shima who was close to crying on the floor, and Shura who was also on the floor, unable to stop laughing.
"This was the only way we could escape the castle, now instead of standing around don't you need to exorcise that demon train? I'd help but I'm kind of useless without my guns in this moment."
"Mr Okumura's right, come on, let's kill this thing quickly before it turns away the deal."
"What deal?" Yukio asked Bon.
"No time for that now, we'll explain later, get back."
It seemed like they had cleared out the area so no people were around, one of the perks of being an exorcist. I watched as Shura brought out her sword, Izumo summoned her familiars, Shima brought out his k'rik, and Maruta summoned his flame breath. Konekomaru and Ryuji recited aria's and soonish the demon was exorcised.
"What about the other passengers inside?" I asked
"They were exorcised alongside the train." Izumi answered.
"Come on, let's go back to the monastery and we can have sukiyaki whilst Yukio and Rin tell us all about their trip." Kyodo smiled.
"SUKIYAKI!" I felt the drool pool up at the side of my mouth.
We used a magic key to return to the monastery. Nagatomo, Kyodo and I prepared dinner after I changed, but not before Shura took photos of Yukio and I dressed like this. She would never let us hype it down, ever.
"Wow, this sukiyaki is really good!" Koneko complimented, we cookers thanked him and small talk was made for the next five minutes or so.
"So are you two gonna spill, tell us about Gehenna? It would be useful information for the knights of the true cross to have, too bad we can't tell them about it."
"Well…when we first woke up we were in our rooms they'd given us, I don't remember anything before that." Yukio started
"Yeah and the rooms were super huge and fancy, they were so cool!" Even though I'm glad I'm out of that damn place I will miss that huge, comfortable bed.
"We met the eight demon kings, they're unique in personalities, but over all some of them don't seem to bad. Although we barley scratched the surface."
"I was sexually harassed by Belzobaby."
"Do you mean Beelzebub?" Izumo sighed, irritated with my pretty good guess.
"Yeah..he like totally spanked me."
"He did think you were a girl though."
"So! It's sexual harassment!"
"I doubt that, thats a serious crime in Gehenna." Shim smirked.
"So did you see Satan." Bon muttered stiffly.
"Yeah…he's nothing like I imagined him, he looks humanish and kind of angelic."
"What's he like?" Koneko whispered, fear evident in his small voice.
"We didn't really see the fully evil side of him, we tried to stay on his good side for obvious reasons. He spoke of unpleasant sounding things though, and he made us do training."
"What kind of training?" Shiemi asked.
Yukio zoned out for a moment before responding, "I'd rather not talk about it."
I knew he was having flash backs about that 'little' girl, the servants sister, he felt responsible for her death despite it being Satan's idea and doing.
"So you guys were staying in our house whilst we were away?"
"Yeah, it was a big enough place for us to plan how to get you back, and it was a way we would some what be out of the vatican's eye Shura answered
"We had no idea it would be as easy as a phone call." Izumi laughed
"So where did you guys sleep?"
"Guest rooms, and Bon, Koneko and I stayed in your room. By the way Okumura, thanks for that magazine man, it kept me entertained." Shima smirked before giggling.
"What sort of magazine? I love gardening magazines! What kind do you read Rin?" Shiemi's innocent eyes smiled at me.
"I er..well…ugh…I read…"
After dinner was over, and I told Shiemi about how much I loved horse magazines, our friends stayed a while longer to hang out.
"I'm glad your back." Bon confessed, not looking directly into my eyes.
"W-what?"
"It would be pretty lame to not have you around to rip on and to yell at and things, you know?"
A genuine grin appeared on my face, my fangs glistening. "Yeah, thanks man! I'm glad I'm home."
About an hour or so later, our friends left as it was getting late. Yukio and Shura used their magic keys to insure everyone got back to the dorms safely, and in Shiemi's sake, back to her house.
Yukio's POV
After Shiemi was back home, I put my key back into my pocket. Everyone else had gone home as well, all except -
"Hey chicken, are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine Shura."
"We gotta keep this from the vatican, I put vacation time in for you and as far as they know, your out of the city right now dealing with personal matters. So if any of the higher ups ask your assisting a close family friend in a time of crisis, ok?"
I relaxed knowing that I was covered for, because my brother would most likely face execution for traveling to Gehenna, kidnapped or not.
"Thank you, Shura."
"Don't mention it, mole face." She opened the supply closet door with her magic key and opened it. "Oh and by the way, I'm glad your back, wouldn't be right without you here, wimpy four eyes." The last thing I saw was her curved lips and then as she turned around, the back of her ombre head.
A few days have passed since we arrived back in Assiah, and life is turning back to normal. We returned to True Cross two days ago, and no one raised suspicion about mine and Rin's absence. Everything was normal again, I awoke in my dorm room bed, somewhat expecting to see my maid standing to my side telling me what was on todays agenda. Each time though, as I looked to my side, I could see Rin's bed. He was fast asleep and drool was poking out his mouth, one fang overlapped his lip subconsciously. His tail hung out of the duvet cover but still remained on the bed. Kuro was curled in a ball near his master's feet.
The next day {Saturday} I was coming home from a mission, it was only one pm ad I finished the job quite quickly, it was only some mid level demons playing somewhat dangerous pranks. All I could think about was the yakitori Rin was preparing for dinner.
I heard a buzzing sound in my pocket and pulled out my phone.
"Hello, this is Okumura speaking."
"Yukio, have you seen Shiemi recently?" Shura.
"No, not since class finished yesterday, why?"
"Her mother contacted the school, she didn't come home yesterday."
So chapter eleven is complete! Please review and tell me your thoughts, I apologise for spelling and other errors! Also Blue exorcist belongs to Kazue Kato by all rights, I'm just playing around with her lovely characters :)
