I'M ALIVEEEEEE! I am so sorry for everything and this giant gap of time without anything new.
But I'm back and I tried to make this chapter longer to make up for it.
Let's go

Heaven Hears No Angel

Chapter 12

Rin p.o.v.

Something cold is running down my face… My neck… What the hell? I feel wet all of a sudden… What kind of hell is this? It keeps getting colder. I try to swap it away with my hand but it's back the moment I try to relax..
It's really starting to irritate me.
It keeps getting colder. And colder. Like ice…
"COLD!" I jump up from my sleeping position only to see that there's no one around me and that I'm alone. In Gabi's room.
"Wha-" "Had a wet dream Rin?" I hear her voice coming from behind me and as I turn around I see her in her black t-shirt and jeans smiling at me. Not smiling, more like smirking. Her evil player grin.
"I felt like a cold hand was running down my neck…" "You mean this?" She shows me an ice cube and smiles devilishly at me.
"And just what did you do that for?" She smirks and pops the half-melted ice cube in her mouth and walks to me.
She plops herself on my lap and I blush instantly. It's so like her to get all my attention just like that.
"I just wanted to wake up my boyfriend before a rough day." And with that she leans is and kisses me. Her lips are cold from the ice and I have to say I kinnda like that sensation.
I pull away and ask her with my eyebrow raised. "What do you mean by 'rough day'?" She pouts and looks at me with puppy eyes.
"You want to talk about that more than kiss me?" She asks with a winey voice. Now she's challenging me. I know it.
I kiss her and I feel her smirk into my lips. But I pull away really quickly with her leaning in for more.
"Now what about that 'rough day'?" She sighs and then looks at me with a sympathetic smile.
"Shura wants to evaluate you. So in about 15 minutes I have to take you away to a special place where you will meet her and..." "Why does she have to evaluate me?" "To see if you are a threat to the world." My look intensified that moment.
It's because I lost it yesterday, isn't it? It must be, I let my anger get the best of me.
"Rin? What's wrong?" I feel her put her hand in my hair.
"It's just… When we were little I often beat up kids that were laughing at me and Yukio… I would really lose it… Maybe I am-"
I stop talking as she squishes my hair through her fingers.
"You'll prove them wrong."
She kisses me again and this time there's no teasing, just this really big need. I wrap my arms around her and pull her closer as she pulls at my hair a little and the kiss deepens. I slide my tongue into her mouth and they fight for dominance. It's always like this, no one really wins the fight but it feels damn good.
She slowly pulls away and pecks me on my lips, then my nose and finnaly my forehead.
"Come on get ready." She gets up from my lap and heads to her unused kitchen.
I get up and start to exit her room when I hear her calling from the kitchen.
"I think I finnaly figured out how to wake you in the morning!"
"Eh?" She pops out of the kitchen and plops another ice cube into her mouth. "Tease!" I stick my tongue at her and run down to my room.

Yukio has already made his bed and is fully dressed by the time I get to my room. As usual.
"Oh, you're up? I may be against you hanging out with Lady Gabriela so much but I guess she does do something good. I'll have to ask her how she manages to wake you up every morning and try it myself."
I cough out loud and feel myself get red. "Please don't." I manage to blurt out before running down to wash my teeth. No way is my little brother waking me up with kisses and… WHY AM I EVEN THINKING OF THIS?

"So where are we going?" "To the base. You've never been there, right?" Gabi and I talk while following Yukio out of the dorm. He seems strangely quiet today. And Gabi is in her work jacket and skinny jeans.
"No, I don't think I have."
Yukio puts one magical key in the door and opens is. As we enter I see that we are in some old strange place. It reminds me a little of Gabriela's church.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"The center of the Japanese Branch of the Order of True Cross." A familiar voice answers. I look in front of me and see the strange woman standing next to Mephisto. They are looking at us, more like looking at me.
I give them a stern look and start walking towards them with Gabi right next to me. I should probably feel nervous but this whole thing is generally pissing me off.
"The headquarters are located under St. Peters Basilica in Rome, and it coordinates to the actions of the branches all around the world." Shura explains.
"The orders history in exorcism spans in over two millennia."
"Exactly. Welcome to the Japanese branch of the Order of True Cross." Mephisto greets with open arms.
Gabriela walks over to Mephisto and stands next to him. Her look is kind of empty and all the gentleness and warmth she had just half an hour ago seems erased. Is she that good at making a poker face?
"Well, Shura; Mephisto and I were making bets on whether a High Inspector was infiltrating the school." She said.
"So who won?" Shura asks with a grin. "I did." Mephisto says with a raised finger.
Shura walks over to me and in a second holds me in a headlock "What the hell?"
"Mephisto, gimme a straight answer! Why did you hide the son of Satan?"
"I didn't hide him. It was on order of Lady Gabriela Grigori." Mephisto says with raised arms. "What?" Shura asks with clenched teeth.
Mephisto places a hand on Gabriela's shoulder and continues to explain "It is all for the sake of the Order. Tame the son of Satan to become a weapon for the Order. We exorcist have been on the defensive for 2000 years, now is our chance to take the offensive."
What is he talking about? And was it really on Gabriela's order that I'm here? Her face gives away nothing, even as she looks at me.
"That's no answer." Shura says. "I was asking you why you didn't report to the Vatican."
"What? Should they take his freedom also?" Gabi cuts in. Now there seems to be some anger in her eyes. "That's what they do. Find out about someone special and right away your freedom is taken. You have no more a choice for the future. Either you do what they say or you die."
"This has nothing to do with Lady Gabriela trying to be an anarchist. It is simply because High Grigori wouldn't be pleased with an incomplete weapon." Mephisto cuts in on Gabriela's talk and she just closes her eyes. She seems a little weak right now. Or mad. But as soon as she opens her eyes it's all gone. The face with no emotions is back.
"Then I'm gonna ask you again. Did Shiro Fujimoto have anything to do with this case?"
Gabi looks at Shura. No, she's not looking at Shura. I can't really see because of the headlock, but I think she's looking at Yukio. She sighs and turns our back to us.
"Anything? He was raising him until his flames got stronger. I was just keeping an eye on him." Mephisto says with a grin on his face. That clown.
I feel the woman tense. "I see. Either way, I'll have to report this. But before that I gotta interrogate him. I'll use the Great Cell."
"Feel free to. He's a real laugh."
"Don't act so relaxed. You'll be sorry for this."
"Shura, wait! It's pointless to interrogate my brother!" "SILENCE YUKIO!" Gabriela yells and looks at him with a death glare. Yep, she's mad. But why? She was okay earlier.
"Man, Yukio, you haven't changed at all… Well okay, you did get tall. Go home and hit your bunk."
Shura says as she drags me away. Man why do I not get a say in this?

"Woah!" I stumble in as she throws me into some strange gray cell. So what's gonna happen now?
"You sure were meek like a scared little kitty cat." "You knew my dad and Yukio?" "Well… I was Shiro Fujimoto's apprentice."
"Apprentice?" I somehow imagine this woman dressed as a nun. And Shiro standing next to her. "Then are you a nun?"
"Unfortunately I've never once prayed to God. I grew up in a place outside the range of reason." Her eyes seem to wonder "Shiro Fujimoto saved me from staying alive just for the sake of staying alive."
Woah, the old man is cool. "That was way before you two were born."
So she's old?
She suddenly turns around and clenches her shoulder. "What's wrong, were you hurt earlier?"
I try to help her, but as I get closer, she turns and grabs my Kurikara and runs off. AH!
"Idiot, how could you fall for that? Was this shit so cheap you'd let anyone take it?"
"LIKE HELL!" I yell. She's pushing my buttons. Don't make me mad and give it back!
I run to her and swing to punch her but she jumps back. She jumps behind me and as I turn she starts chanting something strange about snakes and… pulls a sword out of her chest?!Why would my dad's apprentice point her sword at me?"
"The day Shiro died the Vatican headquarters dispatched me as High Inspector with secret orders. 'There is the possibility that Shiro Fujimoto, Mephisto Pheles and the unstable Gabriela Grigori, have been hiding something related to Satan. Investigate that.' And one more. 'And if by chance there was such an element, you are hereby authorized to eliminate it upon identification.' Just like that."
"Eliminate?"
"I have confirmed your blue flames, the sign of Satan. I'll obey my orders and kill you. The apprentice will finish her dead masters incomplete work."
"Kill me? Wait!"
She says something and I feel force flying at me.

Gabriela p.o.v.

"Sounds like they've started." Mephisto says as he drinks some tea. Where the hell did he get that tea from?
Meanwhile here I am, sitting on the stone railing in this ancient place that I hate and I'm trying not to lose it. I'm doing my best to not let it out. But what I really wanna do is kick the asses of everyone in this room. Well, maybe not sideburns, he's okay.
I look at Yukio and notice how he started to walk to the cell "Don't even bother." He turns to look at me "The Great Cell can only be opened by High Class Exorcists, which you are not, so just drop it."
"Then what do you want me to do?" I hear irritation in his voice. "Wait here silently for the interrogation to end." I answer with a voice as plain as possible.
"Oh? Is it me or do you just not care?" He asks me. I raise an eyebrow at him. Does he really want me to lose my cool here? Because I really wouldn't mind kicking him.
I cross my legs and raise my eyebrow at him.
"Does it look like I don't care?" "Yes, it does."
I cross my arms over my chest and smirk at him. "Well, you had a lot of 'I don't give a fuck' moments in the past, so, my question is, why do you suddenly care?"
"Don't try to push this on me, this is all your mess, remember?"
I felt my eyebrow twitch "Excuse me, how exactly is this "my mess" when all I did all this time is protect your brother?"
"How did you not notice Amaimon enter? How did you not know there was someone under cover in the school?"
I knew what he meant by that. I should have sensed a demon entering, but I didn't. I should have red Shura's mind, but I didn't.
"I couldn't read Shura's mind because she was hiding it. And I didn't notice Amaimon because my mother died-"
"Don't use your mother's death as an excuse for your incompetence and irresponsible behavior."
I look up at him and feel myself sticking my fingernails into my arms. I have to leave now; the last thing I want is to lose it here. If Yukio is trying to make me mad, he's doing a good job.
I hold my breath as I get up from my sitting position and smile at him.
"You know what, you are a pain in my sitting muscle, I would like to sit here and chat with you, but you know I'm far too important for that."
I wave at him and purposely bump my shoulders with his as I pass him.
Good. I'll leave and everything will be better, I'll get calm somehow, I just can't stay here.
"Yes, run away again. Deny your guilt again."
"I don't care, Yukio." I say, feeling my breath getting more and more shallow. I just have to walk away.
"Deny that it's your fault that Shiro Fujimoto is dead!"

…
"Let the insanity rule my vixen…" I heard a voice in my had whisper. Avery familiar voice.
…

…

"Show them who you are my vixen…" That is Sabor's voice.
…

…

"SAVE ME!" "NO!" "IN THE NAME OF GOD, STOP IT!" "STAY AWAY!" "AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "LISTEN TO US!" "DON'T KILL ME!" "AHHHHHH!" The voices and screams return.
I can't run away from them. I grip my head as strong as I can and try to shut out the voices. Calm down. Calm down. Control yourself Gabriela!
"You act all innocent but if you weren't so selfish, he would still be live! It is your fault!" I hear Yukio yell at me again.
What do I do? How do I stop these voices? How do I make Yukio shut the fuck up?
"Just let go of your restrain my vixen…" Sabor whispers again.
"And now you will destroy my brother too!"

From that moment on, all I saw was red.

Rin p.o.v.

I cough trough the dust made by her attack. The wall behind me is cut up and small stones are falling from it.
"What the hell was that?"
She swings her swords again and I see a couple of slashes flying towards me. I dodge two and start running but one cuts me off and slams into the wall next to me.
I fall down on the floor from a sudden shudder in the cell, but she doesn't give me time to rest as more of those flying slices come my way.
I start running away from them as they crash into the walls behind me. It's just like with that Amaimon demon from earlier. Our levels are totally different!
Another blast sends me to the floor and I fall on my back, my lungs losing air.
I try to get up but as soon as I turn to my side, I feel her land a kick to my stomach, sending me back and slamming me into a wall.
"You made a big mistake. Such a blunt and untempered kid wouldn't even scratch Satan."
"What?"
She points her blade straight at my throat.
"You got old, Shiro. You gave up fighting, and clung to some pointless hope."
"NO! He died protecting me!" I won't let this woman insult my dad "He wasn't a coward!"
"He was a coward!"
"You don't know anything! How dare you say that!?" All that came back were the last moments before he died. He was brave. He protected me. He sacrificed himself for me. He was no coward!
I clench my fists an feel the blue flames radiate out of me as I get back up on my feet.
"I don't care if you were his apprentice or whatever, I won't let you make fun of my dad!"

Yukio p.o.v.

I don't know when or how. I don't understand anything. I don't know how it came to it that when she turned to me her pupils were dilated. Her skin was paler and her smirk wicked. Her body was emitting a strange miasma that was somehow familiar to me.
I don't know the reason for any of this.
All I know is that Gabriela was laughing and attacking me.
She was attacking me full on with her fists and legs, and smiling while doing it.
"You mean reckless like this Yukio!?" She yells as she swipes her leg at me, that I barely dodge.
She is powerful, I knew that, way stronger than me. With the corner of my eye I see Mephisto and prof. Tsubaki retreat out of the main hall.
"I'm over here Yukio!" I jump hack in the last second. She almost broke my arm with her kick!
"Is this a new way of running for you!? You realize you are wrong and you attack me?"
She stops attacking and I draw a much needed breath. I don't know how long I can dodge her attacks without any drastic measures.
All I ever did was try to protect her. She is too reckless for her own good.
She sees danger and runs directly towards it.
"Miyau."
"Did you just miyau at me?" I ask her with a raised eyebrow. Is she acting stupid now.
"Hehehe" She laughs
"I wanted to protect you. Two years ago when you decided to leave Father Fujimoto and I tried to stop you, but you didn't listen."
She swings her fist to kick me and I catch it with my hands, but just then her leg kicks me in the gut, sending me far away flying into a wall.
"All I wanted was… for you to stay with me…" I say, out of breath "So that I can protect you from yourself…"
She starts walking towards me slowly. Good, maybe I can reason with her now
"If you don't change your ways and think before you act, things could get much worse." I try to talk with a low voice as to calm her "You are a smart girl, we can work this out."
"Oh man, I haaate it when you talk like thaaat." She says, somehow childishly dragging her words.
She is starting to anger me.
"Come on, I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you."
"Spare me your life story." She says.
"Well fine, how about you just stop and think for a second! If you had stayed, we wouldn't fight all the time! You would have been safer!"
She stopped her walk and was just pain staring at me.
"And most of all-"
I see her moving her hand as if she's preparing to smack herself
"- Shiro Fujimoto would still be alive!"

"GABRIELA NO!"

Rin p.o.v.

As much as I try to kick her, she is always avoids my attack. She's like a firkin snake!
She attacks me and the slashes crash into the floor under me sending me flying.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say that you won't let me make fun of him?"
Of course I won't let her, I'm just catching my breath.
"If you won't come at me, I'll come at you instead."
She says something again, holding her sword and I feel wind fly by me.
What the? My flames are gone!
I scream out as I feel her stab me through my shoulder with her sword.
"This is so ugly… Just go down already."
I grab her blade with my hand, feeling the blood from my wound pour onto the blade and down my hand
"I can't go down here!" I stare her direct in the eyes "I wowed on his grave that I would become a great Exorcist like him and kick Satan's filthy ass! I have to kick Sabor too for all that he's done! I wipe the floor with both of them!"
"Wipe the floor with both of them?"
Yeah, I'll become the strongest Exorcist and Paladin! If I become Paladin then everyone will have to accept that my dad and Gabriela were right!"
"Paladin you say? Don't make me laugh you shitty brat!"
She suddenly seems lost in thought and I wonder what she'll do next.
I will kick her butt too if I have to.
Um? Is she laughing?
"Hahahaha" Yes, she's laughing
She pulls her sword from out of my shoulder and I fall to my knees. She just continues laughing. Why is she laughing?
"You were right, he is a laugh. Or I guess the joke is on me." What is she talking about?
She snaps her fingers and the door to the cell opens
"You loved Shiro?"
"Huh? It's not like I dind't!"

Gabriela p.o.v.

"GABRIELA NO!"

My eyes focus in the last second in which I move my hand to the left and feel it holding something strong.
I take many breaths, my vision starting to get sharp.
I just now refocus and look in front of me.
I scream and jump back and look at what I had done. What I had almost done.
Yukio is sitting beat up against a wall… And right there… RIGHT THERE… was my holy sword… A millimeter distance from his head.
I almost… I almost killed him. I ALMOST KILLED YUKIO!
Looking down at my hands I see that they are bloodied. But that isn't my blood, it's his…"N-no.. I didn't… I didn't mean… I… No… How?.." I feel myself shaking. I can't breathe… I…
I look at Yukio and feel tears run down my face.
He seems shocked. What happened? I was leaving this place and then… everything went red.
"Y-yukio…"
I let my sword disappear as I take a step back. Yukio tries to get up, but it seems hard for him. I did this…
"I… I'm so… I'm so sorry…"
I turn around and run out as fast as I can, my hands covering my mouth so that I don't scream.
I'm sure I heard Yukio's voice calling me to come back, but I didn't turn around.
I ran to the first door and pulled out my magic key.
I shake too much and can't get the key into the lock.
Suddenly two hands wrap around mine and the key enters the lock. I look to my side, my vision so blurry from tears; I almost thought that it was Rin. But it wasn't, It was Yukio.
And he was smiling gently at me, holding my hands firmly. I could feel his calm breath on my shoulders.
"I'm sorry… I didn't realize just how bad you were feeling. I shouldn't have pushed you."
I look down at his hands. They were holding mine in a strong lock.
More tears fall down my face and fall on his hands.
He turns our hands so as to turn the key and the door opens.
He places his hands on my shoulders. "Come back when you feel better." He says calmly.
All I can do is nod as I release a breath I didn't even know I held.
I enter the Nephilim sanctuary and close the door behind me.

Rin p.o.v.

"OUCH! It hurts!" I yell as I feel the sting in my shoulders as Yukio cleans my wounds.
"What happened in here?" "You ask me? What the hell happened to you?
Seriously, Yukio was looking a mess. I saw a huge hole in the wall when I got out and Yukio's glasses were shattered on the floor. Not to mention, he had blood running out of his nose and mouth.
"oh, um… Gabriela and I get into a small argument." "You call that a small argument? Looks like a full blown fight to me!"
I stop talking as Gabriela enters the infirmary.
She has changed her clothes and is now wearing a grey dress, black boots and a leather jacket. She looked hot. And not at all beat up like Yukio.
Her face was blank when she entered, but as soon as hers and Yukio's eyes met, her eyes saddened.
She came closer and placed her hand on Yukio's cheek.
"I'm sorry…" She whispers.
Her hand that was holding Yukio's face started to glow a dirty yellow glow.
As soon as it did, Yukio leaned into her hand and all his wounds healed.
She let go of his face and looked at me.
"I'm going for a walk through the city. Night has fallen so it can be really calming." With that, she turned her back to us and left.
"What was that?" I ask Yukio.
"I guess that's her way of trying to make things right again."
"Just what is it with the two of you?" I ask, really curious now.
"Gabriela was the first person I met here about 6 years ago." He had this strange smile on his face "She was followed by Sabor where ever she went. She was a magnet for lost and shy people. Talking with her was just so easy."
His smile grew even wider "She was my first love." I winced at that. How do I tell him that I'm dating her? Does she even know about that?
"Does she know?" "No, I was always too scared to tell her."
"But, do you still like her?" "Well-"
"Catch!" I catch some wooden stick with my good hand.
"What is this?" I ask Shura who is standing at the door.
"Just look at it, it's a wooden sword." "And my sword?" I demand
"I'll take care of it. If it's with you, Amaimon will just come to play with you again."
Is she seriously going to do that?
"You can get it back once you kick my ass. And you gotta prove that Shiro and Gabi were right."
I stare at her and nod my head.
I will definitely get stronger.

I'm walking down the streets, I guess I'm hoping to find Gabriela here somewhere. But I also can't stop thinking about my dad. He was so cool, when I would beat people down, he was the only one to calm me down. And he wasn't mad, even if I hit him so had that he had to go to the hospital. He wanted me to become a cool man that's loved by the girls.
I want to be a cool adult like my dad.
I'm not smart enough to figure out the answers, no matter how long I think.
"Rin?"
Huh? I look up and see Gabriela standing in front of me, looking at me with gentle eyes.
"Hey, Ga-" I don't have time to finish as she runs to me and hugs me. I hug her back as she places her head under my head. Something bad happened today, and I really want to ask her about it, but I'll ask some other time.
Letting go she looks up at me and smiles "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I feel a lot better! And motivated!" "haha, I' glad to hear it."
"How do you feel?" I ask her, a little concerned. She wasn't herself today "Well good, but…"
"But?" I ask as I feel rain start to fall
"…But I really hate rain!" She says as she pulls my hand and we run under a house. Witch I should say was completely useless because it was pouring so hard we were already wet when we got there.
I lean her on the wall and shield her from more rain with my body, my two hands clamped on the wall each on one side of her head.
For a moment I think about how Yukio said that he was in love with her, but I stop thinking about it as soon as she looks into up into my eyes.
Her hands rise up and she places them on my chest and slowly stands on her toes.
Her eyes linger on mine for a little more before they flutter to a close and the distance between us is lost in a kiss. It started gentle, but soon became more needy as she intervened her hands in my hair and I pressed her to the wall with my body.
"You know what?" she says a little breathless "I think I'm starting to like the rain…"
She pulls my dark hoodie and were clamped in a longing kiss again.
I don't know what I'll do about Yukio… But I sure as hell am not gonna give up this feeling.

I enter the classroom late.
"Sorry. I couldn't sleep yesterday… So I fell asleep on the rooftop… And no one woke me up even when homeroom ended…" That makes me pissed
"Don't just stand there with your excuses, get in." That voice "I won't get mad."
"Hey! Why are you-" "Just take your seat already."
I gulp and sit down. "Rin, are your wounds okay?" Shiemi asks me "huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" "Sure, then it's okay."
"Now that you're here, let's start class. Introduction to Sigils, from the part about mammomancy. Okumura, because you were late, "
"Yes." I get up and stare at my book.
Trough all my determination, I couldn't figure out a thing that I was reading.

Gabriela p.o.v.

"Well, no one asked anything an your little incident with prof. Okumura is forgotten, so there is no need for you to worry now." Mephisto says as he's slowly eating his cup ramen.
This time I am not sitting on his desk and talking with him through clown jokes. I am standing behind him, staring out the window.
"No, they are just covering it up." I say as I lean my forehead on the window glass. "You think?" "They can't tell then that the last Nephilim is also going mad, it would cause a scandal and that is something they can't afford."
"Do you care?"
"No. But they are probably gonna hold me like a freak on a leash now." "Can you blame them?"
I raise my head from the glass and look at him. Are you trying to push me now too, Mephisto?
"This wasn't my fault, Yukio provoked me." "Just how long are you gonna throw the fault on other people?"
I sigh and get to the door.
"I don't have to take this from a clown. Bye Mephisto."
I close the door behind me and start walking back to my dorm. I haven't let Hooka out for a while, I might as well train with him for a while to let my anger go.
Rin did the same with Blacky last night, it was nice watching them.
I won't go mad again. I won't end up like Sabor.

DONE! I am so sorry for this long delay everyone. I will do my bet to get back on track again, I promise.
So, how did you like it? I really didn't like the last chapter that I wrote, it was kinnda dull, so I tried to make up for it here.
Tell me what you think and please review, they make me really happy and motivate me!

Bye for now and remember to smile and have a good day!
