Beyond the Rabbit Hole Ch 11

"Distract it." Hasaki ordered as he ran toward the dragon with his scythe at the ready.

Nir scowling after his mate as he let out a scoff and unsheathed his sword. His body igniting in blue flames as he ran past Hasaki and swung his sword out. His blue flames flaring out from the blade, and causing the dragon to let out a roar and try and take off, as Hasaki bolted past him and jumped. The smaller demon managing to get close enough to the demon to swing his scythe and cut the chain around the dragons neck, as it let out a roar and readied a breath of fire. A curse leaving Hasaki as he let himself fall and fumbled for the watch. Nir yelling up at him to ditch the watch and use his shield as Hasaki glared toward his mate and reached out in time to grab the golden watch. The sound of the dragon reading his attack causing the demon to quickly turn and thrust his branded hand out just as the flames came rushing toward him. The flames engulfing the teen as Nir let out a curse and held tight to the Kurikara.

"Hasaki!"

It was then the flames crashed into the ground and Nir created a wall of blue flames to protect himself. The dragon's flames barely brushing against the demons, before the flames dissipated and smoke filled the air. A smirk on the dragons face as he let out a roar in pride and Nir growled in anger.

"Dumbass, I told you to ditch the watch."

A sudden cough rang through the air as the smoke started to clear and reveal his mate getting to his feet. Alice's shield in his grasp as he shakily stood up and with shield and scythe in hand. Soot covering his face as he reached up to wipe it from his face and a jingling filled the air. A flash of gold catching the demons eye as Hasaki caught Nir's gaze and moved the shield aside to reveal the pocket watch in his hand. The gold watch glimmering in the light as he let the shield dissipate into thin air and the dragon growled.

"Insolent fools! What good do you think that silly watch will do!?"

"Hasaki!" Akashi yelled as the demon paused for a moment.

"Nir!" Rin yelled not even a second after his mate, as the said demon looked toward his mate and raised an eyebrow in annoyance.

"We're taking it over from here." Akashi spoke as Nir growled.

"Sorry mad hatter but you didn't do such a great job in the first place." The demon spoke, as Rin growled at the demon half.

"That's an order, Nir! I'm taking over!" Rin yelled before he was suddenly slammed back by his human half presence.

The male letting out a grunt as he hit the floor of the room he created and let out a growl. The demon quickly getting back up in his feet, and trying to gain control once more, only to find he hit a wall and glared at the screen.

'Rin, this isn't fucking funny!'

"Shut up and deal with it. Akashi and me have a plan. Now make up."

Rin ordered as the demon growled and turned to the presence in the couch.

Hasaki sat back into the cushioning of the leather couch, his white hair falling into his face as purple and red eyes examined the brand on the back of his hand. The male paying absolutely no attention to him as Nir glared at the back of his head and didn't miss as Hasaki muttered his trademark words and a white rose blossomed from nowhere. The pure white flowers stem turning to ash, till only the bud remained, and then blossomed in his palm. The flower only lasting seconds before it burst into blue flames as Hasaki sighed, smashing the burning object with his fingers, before he turned back toward him.

'You're angry.'

'What was your first fucking clue?' Nir demanded, as Hasaki remained neutral and let the ashes in his hand burst into little balls of red and purple light before they disappeared.

'There's no reason for you to be angry.' Hasaki spoke as he turned back away from him and went back to staring at the brand on the back of his hand. 'Your acting like a youngling.'

'Me act like a youngling?' Nir challenged as Hasaki remained silent. 'You're the one that ran off like you had a mid-life crisis and went to play hero! Sorry to say sweetheart but your not the prince in shining armor, because that demon was kicking your ass!'

'At least I tried, which I can't say much for you're case.'

'I won against Amaimon the Earth King!'

'You also lost control of your mind and powers, set a forest full of demons on fire, injured thousands and almost got your host killed.' Hasaki spoke as he turned and looked at him with that stupid blank look he hated so much. 'If you ask me, you have a lot more to learn than I do.'

A heavy growl left the other as he glared at him and Hasaki looked away from him once more. The other finally snapping as he walked right over to his mate without hesitation and grabbed the back of his shirt, sending him flying across the room. Hasaki smashing into the wall as rose petals floated through the air and toward the floor. A huge bed of flowers behind his mate, as Hasaki sighed and their eyes met. Furious blue clashing against static red and purple eyes, as Hasaki carefully removed himself from the hole in the wall and stood up straight.

'As I said. You have no reason to be mad.'

'I do have a reason to be mad, because you're a dumbass!' Nir yelled, as Hasaki remained silent as the other turned to him and glared at him. 'Did it ever occur to you once, just once, that maybe your hosts idea to return home as a bad idea? That he was leading the both of you toward your death?'

'It never crossed my mind. I thought we were ready.' Hasaki spoke, enraging the other even further.

'You thought you were ready?! Are you fucking kidding me?! Your fighting a high level ten demon, Hasaki, and your barely above a level nine! How the hell do you think that was going to work?!'

'I didn't, but I had a safe fail system.' Hasaki spoke as Nir paused for a moment and gave him a confused look. 'Fathers pocket watch created the gate, which means-'


The moment Rin finally gained control of his body was the moment he let out a sigh of relief and put up the wall against his other half. Nir blowing up at him, as the teen let out an order and signed when he fell silent. A frown appearing on his face when Nir finally stopped yelling, but started yelling at Hasaki.

"I swear he was a lot nicer than that."

"He's rarely calm according to Hasaki." Akashi spoke as he stopped beside him with his father watch in his hand. His mate's fingers white with how tight he held the item in his hand.

"So why was Hasaki so set on getting that thing?" Rin asked as Akashi looked toward him and smiled.

"Fathers watch created the gate, which locked the demon away for over a century, and its energy is infused inside the dragon. If I can tap into the watches power I can active a spell and use the energy the dragon absorbed to destroy him." Akashi explained as Rin stared at him in surprise and proceeded to clap his mate on the back.

"Then what the hell are we waiting for?" Rin chuckled as he flashed him a smile. "Tell me what to do."


'You do realize how much power that's going to take?' Nir spoke in annoyance, his voice still dripping with anger.

'I'm aware.'

'You're going to get your host killed.'

'Who said Akashi was going to activate the spell?' Hasaki spoke as Nir froze and stared at him. 'Akashi wouldn't be able to handle even activating it, let alone using the spell. It's only logical that I use the spell. I'm used to it.'

'You could end up dying from using it.' Nir finally spoke as Hasaki looked down at the brand on the back of his hand.

'I realize that, but it's my job.' The demon spoke as he lifted his hand up and showed the brand to the other. 'This mark makes me the sole protector of Wonderland and its people, which means it's my life that is laid on the line if the time comes for me to do so. Not Akashi's life, but mine, and I'm able to accept that Nir. Are you?'

Silence fell over the two of them as Nir stared at him in shock. The male stepping back till his back hit the couch and he leaned against the back of it. His throat visibly tightening with every second, before the males eyes finally met the others and he opened his mouth.

'Y-you really are stupid, aren't you? You're throwing your life away for some kid and a mark on your hand.' Nir stumbled as Hasaki walked toward him. 'All because some half pint wanted the two of you to play hero and save an entire world from destructi-'

The next moment Hasaki's lips were against the taller males. Nir staring at him in shock, before he wrapped his arms around the other and smashed him against his chest. His fingers digging into the other demons shirt till Hasaki's lips left his own and purple and red eyes looked up at him.

'You've put your life on the line as well, before I even met you.' Hasaki spoke, as he grabbed the other demons hand and brushed his fingers against his ring finger. A gold ring materializing on his finger as he softly smiled at the other. 'How's that any different from me risking me life now?'

A moment of silence passed over them as Nir looked down at the ring on his finger, before his eyebrows scrunch together and he looked at his mate.

'Because now you have me. You have me as your mate.' Nir spoke, as Hasaki let out a shaky breath and gave him a relieved and happy smile.

The demon cupping his cheeks as his purple and red eyes watered, before he placed a kiss on the demons lips and smiled.

'That's all I wanted to hear.'

And the next moment Hasaki was gone and Akashi was wildly looking around the room in confusion till their eyes met.

"Oh god-"

'N-no…'


"I need you to keep it busy and distracted while I get the pocket watch open." Akashi spoke as the dragon let out a roar and started sailing down toward them. "Try to weaken it if you can."

"Roger!" Rin yelled as he pulled out a holy water grenade and dashed toward the dragon.

Akashi quickly letting his scythe disappear as he turned the pocket watch over and over in his hands. Red and purple eyes examining every detail and marking, before he started pushing in the different gems on the back. A hiss leaving the watch as it unlatched and popped open. A smile appearing on his face as he flipped it open and felt his chest tighten at the picture on the inside. The photo worn, and in black and white, as his mother and father smiled up at him. A four year old version of himelf in their arms as they smiled up at him.

Tears threatening to spill over in the teen's eyes as he quickly pulled himself together and looked up toward his mate. Rin now practically toe to toe with the beast as he switched from throwing holy water grenades and blowing them up with bullets, to swinging his sword and managing to keep the dragon back enough to aim his next attack. Each move calculated and aimed to hit their mark, as Akashi let out a deep breath and looked back down at the watch in his hand. The teen ready to pronounce his trademark incantation before he smell of earth suddenly disappeared and he opened his eyes. Nir's room around him as he wildly looked around in confusion till his eyes fell on Nir's figure leaning back against the couch. Both their eyes wide as the realization dawned on them.

"Oh god-"

'N-no…' Nir managed to choke out, before both eyes fell back on the tv screen and the demon tried to get his host to let him take back over.


"You're a coward boy!" The dragon roared as it tried to send a fireball toward him and Rin created a wall of blue flames.

His cursed flames managing to keep him safe for the moment as he reached into his bag for another grenade and hit the bottom of the bag. A curse leaving him as he dropped the empty gun in his hand and held tight to his sword.

"Akashi, any time now!" Rin yelled as the dragon came at him again.

"YKSI, KAKSI, KOLME!"

The moment those words hit the air Rin froze and suddenly whipped around to find Hasaki in control of his mates body. His purple and red eyes glowing as the wind picked up around him and the back of his left hand started glowing. The marking of a keeper glowing brightly against his skin, as the earth started to crack beneath his feet. The dragon having landed a couple yards away from him and his body stark still as he stared at the demon in pure shock.

"No way…there's now way you could know that spell!"

'Rin, you have to let me take over!' Nir yelled in he back of his mind as the teen stated wide-eyed at his mates other half. 'The spell Hasaki is using is going to kill him! You have to let me take over!'

It was only in that moment that Rin's eyes met the other demons and all of Nir's pleas fell out the window. Reflected in those purple and red eyes was a determination that even Rin himself couldn't match. A determination to protect those who put their faith in him, their lives, and their world and one he couldn't rip away from the other demon. Hasaki had lived with Akashi all his life, hiding in the shadows and lending him his powers when need be, just so hey could reach this moment. The moment Hasaki was born for. To protect Wonderland.

"I can't." Rin spoke softly, as he lowered the Kurikara and the wonderlands insignia appeared below the other demons feet. "I can't."

'Rin, this isn't funny! Let me take over, NOW!'

"I can't."

With a huge rush of energy the very same insignia appeared beneath the dragons feet. The creature staring down at the golden markings in horror as he tried to take off into the air and found himself unable to move. Golden chains keeping him tethered to the ground from inside his body, and embedded into the insignia below him, as the demon let out a roar.

'Rin let me out right now or I'm separating our consciousness!' Nir threatened as the teen sheathed his sword. A look of relief on Hasaki's face as he gave Rin a grateful smile and focused his full attention on the spell. 'Then you'll never be able to become paladin!'

"No."

In seconds the explosion hit. Rock and earth splitting, flying off in every direction, as a golden light exploded along with it. Huge chunks of debris power rocking the earth beneath his feet as the teen let out a curse and ducked, covering his head. Akashi's body lost behind all the dirt and dust in the air as the dragons roar blasted through the air once more, before all was silent. The rumbling, the demons cry, the power of the spell, gone. The only thing remaining was silence as the dust began to settle and a figure started to appear amongst the dust. The shape and height causing him to quickly get to his feet, before the obstacle blocking his view disappeared and eyes widened, as he ran over toward the figure slowly crumpling to the ground.

"Hasaki!"
