Hey-yo, everyone really thought I was gonna stop writing! xD Nah, I'm way too happy to write this fic! I was just trying to get a rise out of you, especially my favorite follower and reviewer, MyPajamasAreCozy. But anyways, here is another update, thank you all for reviewing and giving me a burst of inspiration. I'm not sure if you realize just how important and inspirational reviews are to author, but I hope you do now.
Anywho, get to reading! :D I should have another chapter up by Christmas, but don't hold me to it I'm visiting my mother.

Rin dropped to his knees, tail flat to the floor, he stared at the door as tears swelled up and his jaw dropped in a demonic howl of pain. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rin screamed and fell forward onto his hands as sobs wracked his body. "NO! No, no, no, Bon. Please let this be a sick joke, Ryuji. Please come back. Please?" Rin bawled into the cold tiles, drawing into himself, his tail curling around his chest in an attempt to hold him together. Rin kept screaming his denials and pleads; his demonic howls carrying across campus. The student body was confused by the sounds, but the exorcists that could understand the meaning in the distraught sounds shared empathy for him. Yukio pulled Shima closer as he rested his cheek on the pink locks, his brother's pain a ghost echo in his own chest. Kamiki hugged a bawling Shiemi as Konekomaru looked down in sadness. Shura stopped walking with Angel as Rin's cries reached their location, tears slid down her cheeks at hearing the agony. Angel only kept walking forward. Mephisto sat on his bed, with Amaimon in his arms, crying for his young half-brother, but choosing to stay with his precious hamster until he awoke.
-oOo-
Bon leaned against the door to his room in the temple before sliding down in agony and self-hatred. I should've never left. Rin. But I had a duty to follow through; I'm the son of a Priest this is my job in life. I'm so sorry, Rin. God, please let me find a way bring us back. Bon cried silently to himself as he replayed Rin's reaction in his head, kicking himself in the ass each time. The look in Rin's eyes when Bon efficiently snuffed out the flame that had been burning so bright, it was the same look that had possessed Rin when Bon first left after he had found out what Rin was. The lack of laughter, the everyday near death experiences that the demon had put himself in, the cold grasp that squeezed his heart every night he was away from the broken demon had Bon nearly opening the door, but he instead turned to the small bed and fell into a fitful slumber.
-oOo-
Yukio walked into the dorm kitchen with Shima hoping that his brother had pulled himself together, but instead they saw him curled against the floor, his tail lay limp on the floor, and Ukobach and Kuro sitting beside him down casted. Yukio walked forward and picked up the dead weight his brother had become carrying him up the stairs into his and Shima's room. "Nii-san, it's okay," he uttered as the demon whimpered in his sleep. Shima looked to Yukio before they crawled on either side of the heart broken demon, each wrapping an arm around him, before falling asleep.
-oOo-
Angel lead a cuffed Rin down the Victorian hallways of the ancient Vatican base. Shura, Yukio, and Mephisto taking the tail as they all walked in silence.
Just mere days after Bon's departure Angel decided that it was time to interrogate the listless demon. Rin kept his head down, his tail dragging the ground behind him, as they entered the interrogation room. The mumbling stopped as Rin ascended the tall stairs to the platform atop them for the Grigori to address him easier.
"Okumura, Rin. You are here under suspicion of conjuring the Gehenna gate, and the sudden appearance of Satan. What say you?"
"…" Rin remained silent as the Grigori drilled him with questions until Mephisto spoke on his behalf, "My great, Grigori, can't you see the boy here is too stupid to have conjured the gate by himself let alone answer your questions of how it was done."
"Mephisto Pheles, do you take us as fools?"
"This boy had to have something to do with this!"
"He is the son of Satan after all!"
"Sinful creature" "Destroy him" "Never should have let him live!" "He's made it for Satan to enter Assiah!" echoed from the crowd of exorcists around the room.
"Now, now, you agreed to use this boy as a weapon because of his immense hate for Satan, did you not?" Mephisto chided after the crowd had quieted.
"We don't care about that now! Satan has set foot in Assiah, and there is no telling what he plans to do!"
Mephisto stood next to Rin mouth agape as the exorcists in the room stood and aimed their weapons at the group in the center of the room. "We had a DEAL!" Mephisto's last word came out as growl as he tugged Rin backwards down the stairs.
"The deal has been voided, devil." As the weapons took fire at them, Mephisto vanished in a cloud of pink smoke with a last word to his three allies, Hold tight."
Yukio and Shura were shot with tranquilizers as Rin was dragged off, "Nii-san" "Rin" slurred out from the drugged exorcists.
-oOo-
Yukio and Shura awoke in a comfortable room on separate beds. Disorientated they shared wondering looks until the door to their room banged open revealing a messenger of the Grigori and Angel. "Here's your food," setting the food down and exiting on that last remark Shura bolted toward the door and began spewing curses as she banged whole-bodily on the door. Yukio lowered his head in anger at himself; he had let Rin be taken, why was he always too late? The chimes off a cell phone pulled him from his self-berating as he looked up at Shura. She had her phone in her hands typing a response to whomever text her.
"You're punk is freaking out over you. Here." Catching the phone Yukio read the message.
Sensei, are you okay!
Yeah, Shima. I guess the Grigori decided to have my phone taken… Shima, Rin's been captured again…
WHAT! How? Why?
They tranq'd Shura and I, Mephisto teleported out, and I think they are going to execute him.
No… I'll get Bon, Koneko, and the gang. We'll bust you all out!
Calm down, baby. Mephisto told us to "Hold tight" before he left, so let's see what happens. I love you, Renzou. I'm going to let Shura hide her cell again, so it doesn't get taken like mine.
Okay, I love you, too. Be safe.
With that, Yukio handed Shura her phone just as a loud explosion shook the building. Shouts from in front of their door had both exorcists on edge, the door pulled open to reveal a scaly red hybrid.
"Who're you?" it demanded.
"Who asks?" Shura bit back calling forth her sword; Yukio put his hand on her shoulder as he stepped forward, "Four-eyes?"
"You're able to speak Japanese, who sent you and why?"
"My lord and king, I was sent to release our youngest prince Yukio, and a human Shura. You are them are you not?" It asked tasting the air sensing Satan's power within the brown haired male.
"Yes. We… where is my brother!?" Yukio shouted as another explosion rocked the building and screams from below reached his ears.
"The Earth King, Amaimon, has been charged with locating him and moving him to safety." With that the hybrid vanished in a fiery ball of golden fire. Yukio grabbed Shura's wrists and pulled her after him to follow the leading demon out of the crumbling top floor.
-oOo-
Screams echoed throughout the basement of the Vatican as Angel opened the doors. His face white as a sheet, stumbling from the room that reeked of blood and fear, Angel threw up in a corner. He had known that the Vatican would do anything to defend Assiah from Satan, but what they were doing left him repulsed and sickened. For the last ten days, they had been torturing Rin, stabbing him with holy water dipped weapons, lashing him, kicking him around, and breaking his tail, nonstop torture. Slowly the screams died down as the Grigori followed by their chosen torturers exited the room.
"If he keeps denying that he or Mephisto Pheles had anything to do with this we might as well kill him."
"Yes, I agree. Satan can possess him at anytime, but we shall give him another chance after he thinks about his position."
"It would be a shame to lose such a promising weapon."
-oOo-
By the time Amaimon had woken up Rin had been captured for seven days. Mephisto explained his plan to him after ensuring that Amaimon was fully healed and coherent.
"Can you do it Amai?"
"If it's for baby-bro, yeah." The usual stoic face scrunched in anger, "Ready big brother?"
With a nod of his head, Mephisto kissed Amaimon's forehead and opening the door that lead straight to the demon king's throne room. The demon princes' bowed to their father as he chortled his joy at seeing them. The once dark room lit up with blue flames on multiple candles, showing the beauty of the room and of the demon himself.
"What brings you home, boys?" Satan asked, as they stood straight.
"Rin has been captured along with Yukio, and a human exorcist named Shura Kirigakure."
An eerie laugh burst across the room bouncing off the walls as Satan stood up, "Are you asking my help, Samuel?"
Elongated ears pressed down in displeasure, "Yes, Father."
"Good," Satan reached forward and hugged his purple haired son close before drawing back, a wolfish grin showing his sharp canines, "Let's infiltrate that pathetic excuse for a church, shall we?"
-oOo-
Rin bite his lip in an attempt to stay awake as he slipped into unconsciousness. The darkness that greeted him terrified him, Am I dead, he wondered rotating his floating body. Sudden he felt arms pull him to a warm chest, tilting his head bi-colored locks tickled his nose, before they faded then burst into blue flames. Startled, Rin shot up from the floor as electric blue flames licked along his body, burrowing into his wound with a tingle the wounds closing in faster than normal even with his demonic regeneration. The flames moved around his as if looking for any other injuries before fleeing from the room under the door. A chittering sound forced his eyes from the flames and toward the door as the room was swarmed with smiling coaltars all urging him to get up. Terrified screams echoed across the entire church as Rin made his way toward the door and down the hallway following some insistent coaltars. Exorcists everywhere were being plowed into by all types of demons ranging from small hobgoblins to hybrids with various genetics. Shouting and screaming raged from both sides, weapons firing, bible verses being recited, Gehennan spells being invoked, everything was bounced back and forth between the warring worlds and in the center of the Vatican stood Satan himself laughing as he plundered the Grigori.
"RIN!" a giant Hobgoblin stopped in front of him.
Sluggishly Rin scaled the crimson harness and sat behind his older brother, "What is going on?"
His stoic face pulled into a huge grin, "Father has unleashed Gehenna to help us get you out, otoutou." Behemoth growled before lunging toward a group of exorcists that had twenty or so hobgoblins pinned under a holy water soaked net. Using his large paws, he knocked the exorcists into the wall, rendering them unconscious and freedom his small brethren. "Behemoth, get us out of here, the exorcists have been disabled, Father is calling for their retreat." Behemoth barreled toward the largest window and jumped outside, the broken glass glittering around the three demons as Rin saw the largest moon in his life.
"Woah! It's huge!" Amaimon turned toward the sky and smiled at his world's moon that astonished his younger brother.
"That's Gehenna's moon, our home's beauty." Amaimon said as he leaned forward over Behemoth's head to mouth silent directions. The hobgoblin nodded his head and bolted forward in a blurring speedball of red, green, brown, and blue.
