Chapter 25
Rin was speechless. Sheimi was playing with her fingers, perhaps she told him at the wrong time?
"I'm gonna be a dad?" He smiled the goofiest looking smile he ever had in his life.
His wife nodded. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"You were dead set on going to Gehenna with Yuki and Sam, I didn't want our child to be a burden to you," typical Shiemi, always thinking of others, arguably too much.
Rin touched her stomach, "Your mom is silly thinking that about you am I right?" he cooed toward his unborn child. Shiemi smiled knowing full well that he would've accepted the child in the first place.
"So I guess I'm staying," he decided on it, yet he didn't seem that upset.
"You can't!"
"Why not?" he asked gently.
"If there's a chance of you defeating Satan and him no longer part of this world for our child to live you've got to take it," Shiemi said with passion.
"Things that are unexpected are worth more than any dream someone could muster especially if it's great as this,"
"You have to protect Yuki and Sam there too,"
"Sheimi do you really not want me around?" oddly enough even though he's heartbroken at the thought he can't be mad at her if she's not happy with him.
"Rin Okumura, don't ever think that way please," she cried. "Is it so wrong that I know you need to protect your brother and sister and they need you more than I do?" Shiemi wailed.
How was he supposed to get out of this one? What she says is true, he does play a huge part in protecting his brother and sister, in fact, it's all part of Yukio's plan. If Sam or he dies the other will die for sure. How would he be certain of Yukio's protection? The truth is that Yukio can't really live without Rin as he stated himself. They've been planning this even before they met their sister. He has a child on the way, a truly unexpected blessing, and fulfillment.
"You have a right to be selfish I am your husband after all," he smiled glad he was able to say that he was. The strange thing is he wanted her to be just a little clingy, though most guys wouldn't want that then again they don't have her as a spouse and would most likely change their minds. Plus like how his sister chooses to be not like most girls he's not like most guys rather if it's his choice or not.
"Trust me Rin this is what I've been prepared for when we were engaged," she said softly.
Rin hugged his wife closer to him that way he can inhale her scent and have her hair tickle his face. "The option of you coming with us is still open," he persuaded but she had her mind made up.
"What about our upcoming child?" oh right, he wouldn't exactly be the greatest father if let his newborn's birth happen in Gehenna. Sheimi had a point there and she did seem keen about him leaving as much as he did want to stay for the child.
"Right you got to stay, but the child needs a dad,"
"His dad needs to stop Satan," Sheimi countered. With that, they decided to call it a day and find something else to talk about like the fact Danny and Sam are engaged and that the half-ghost will be coming, Yukio apparently overheard this news as he struggled to find a new plan that includes Danny into the mix but before he got started he congratulated the couple and with that everyone else in the apartment went up to the parents to be to see what Yukio meant by 'child' just in case they heard wrong.
The next day in Amity Park:
It was time to go to Assiah one last time. Everyone that the couple loved was there except of course Sam's brothers and some of the friends she made in her birth country.
"Sammy-kins good luck and make sure we see you, alright?" her adopted mother told her as she didn't want her pride and joy to go through with this.
Sam smiled at the mother who raised her, "I'll try but you shouldn't have to worry I got Danny with me," she said with confidence.
"I refuse to go away until I see my granddaughter married," Ida Manson stated, though there was no guarantee that she would.
Jemery hugged the child who grew into a fine young lady, "You got to come home again, don't make this the last time," he had tears in his eyes. Then without another second his mother and wife came in hugging her to form a group hug and even Sam felt awkward about it she let them without hesitation, after all, it was what she needed too. Just then Maddie, Jack, Dani, Tucker, Valerie, and Jazz came hugging and crying too. Danny was also with them making the group hug warmer. Shura, Ryuji, and Kuro just stayed looking at them trying not to cry.
Sam let them as they are her family as much as Rin, Yukio, Shiemi, and her adopted family were.
"Guys try not to get your weird fluids all over me and Danny," Sam joked to lighten up the mood by referring to their tears.
This caused everyone to open their eyes and have them ask 'What', 'What did you say', or 'Weird fluids'. They all stopped hugging after the questions were asked.
Just then before Sam could explain what she meant the announcer went off telling the passengers of Danny's and Sam's plane number it's their last warning to get on board. As much as the demon girl wanted to stay and actually wanted to truly hear the full lecture of her parents she knew she had to hassle.
"Take care of Sam Danny," Maddie said.
"Don't need to tell me twice," her son smiled.
"You've been a good brother and cousin to me so thanks," Dani said to her donor, not certain she thanked him right. Like everyone else, she didn't want any regrets when it came to Danny. She felt as though she should say something to Sam but the words couldn't come to her.
"Make sure if you see any ghosts tell them that Jack Fenton will come to destroy them with his son," Jack said making everyone chuckle. With the final warning came on and everyone who was heading back to Assiah got to their things to get in line to go. Everyone did the hardest thing and let go of the couple that way they can go off on their journey.
"You guys have been the greatest pals of all time," Tucker said to his lifelong friends.
"Back at ya Tuck," the couple said in unison.
"Take care little brother and you too, Sam," said the eldest of the Fenton children.
"Sam, Danny we mean it protect each other and come home again!" demanded the grandmother of Sam.
"Thank you all! We love you and we will see you again!" Sam shouted before going on the plane with her fiancee and friends to head to Assiah.
Assiah:
It was time to open the gate to go and make the rest history. There was still time to say goodbye as the gate wasn't yet opened. Yukio was still forming the plan in his head, making he doesn't mess anything up and making sure Danny got it along with his siblings by double checking.
"Chill out Yukio, even if we mess up or follow a perfect plan there's still no promise of the outcome," said the idiot trying to cheer up his brother.
"You're not helping Rin," Sam gritted her teeth. "It's the truth and sometimes you need to hear it even if you don't want to," he shrugged.
"Just shut up man," Ryuji said, helping them prepare. Danny seemed nervous yet his fiancee was holding his hand easing the pain she didn't know he was having.
"As long as we try to stop our father that's more than enough, how's that?" Rin narrowed his eyes at his friend after another attempt on helping Yukio.
Sheimi was also helping them by preparing some medicine that they might need but mainly Rin since she was the most concern for him despite his/Sam's/Danny's hyper regeneration.
"Are you sure?" Rin wanted to make sure she was completely okay with this. He's stubborn and wanted to be there for his child and knew deep down he should stay behind but if she's fully okay with it happening he can't change her mind. Sam was happy that her brother will be a father but because they wanted to go through with this just as much as they wanted to stay, it's important that they don't change their mind in defeating Satan because who else has the chance to?
They also had to agree on this risky journey due to sharing the same lifespan that way they can make sure to keep each other alive. Yukio felt the need to come because in truth instead of watching out for his older siblings he just can't seem to find a way to live without them anymore. Danny was just as scared as Yukio but for his fiancee's sake, he didn't show it.
His wife nodded, "Yes, after all, you'll come home to me again," she smiled at him cheerfully with her eyes shut.
"Don't wait for me, find someone who'll cherish you more if I take too long," he wanted to burst into tears at just the small thought of her with someone who wasn't him, but he knew he had to say it that way she won't suffer while he's gone. Rin didn't want to lie but he needed to in order for her to feel less guilty if she does find someone else.
"Rin, I don't think I can, after all, I don't want the life we made together believe that some stranger is taking their mom's attention away," Sheimi said, not holding her tears.
"Our child will be too awesome for you to have your attention stolen away, plus you'll be the greatest mom," Rin held her tightly this time meaning every word of it without any doubt in his soul.
"Gross, can't you guys go somewhere else?" Izumo said.
They ignored her as they smiled at each other "Rin, I was thinking of naming our child Shiro,"
Rin picked her up and hugged her. "Thank you Shiemi and the best part it doesn't matter what's the gender!" he exclaimed as Yukio nodded in acceptance as Sam tried to talk to Rin about changing his mind of going through this. Rin replied by explaining that it's all Shiemi's idea to keep this mission intact besides he did want to defeat their father. They embraced again to inhale each other's scent that made them both currently relaxed and upset.
After a while, with more exchange with talking to others, Sam and Danny were chatting on how this could be their hardest challenge yet. This information didn't make the accidental eavesdropper Yukio feel any better. All the exorcists were waiting to say their farewells when Rin finally opens the gate. Miwa was chatting with Rin about how they could've had more opportunities to be a team. Shura was talking to Sheimi and Izumo about plans for the child.
Renzo just stood next to his girlfriend with a bored look on his face and Ryuji chuckling at his misfortune it was soon enough that it was time for the triplets, Kuro, and Danny to go to Gehenna.
With everyone making sure they were prepared for everything as much as they could. Rin opened the gate to Gehenna, as soon as he did this everyone jumped on the people who were going. Kuro was going too,- but he was most likely going to survive out of the five of them. Izumo hugged Sam the longest whispering that she better come home more demanding than her parents and grandmother did.
Shura ruffled her boy's hair playfully as a sign of good luck. She also kissed their heads too since it felt like the right time, though she should've done it more often, that's her greatest regret with them even when they do return. Ryuji, Miwa, and Renzo shook hands and gave a hug to their friends who were going. Sam took the clip out of her hair and gave it back to Ryuji, which he thanked her for returning it.
"Hey hero," Rin said to Danny.
"What?" this caused everyone else to pause too.
"Even though we're going to together I want everyone to know here that I want to thank you, and that you're good for my sister," Rin told him shaking his hand with respect.
"Gee thanks, I appreciate it," Danny smiled accepting it. Everyone else felt happy that Rin implied that likes Danny. For what it was, it was good enough for the group.
Rin went to Shiemi to give her one final passionate kiss, luckily he got to finish before 2 of his guy friends cut him off.
"Uh guys," Renzo and Miwa said trying to fight off the small demons that were part of the gate. They were trying to grab the legs of anyone who might be near them.
"Right I guess it's time to go," Sam sighed as she got a hold of Danny's hand.
"We'll see you when you're great-great-grandparents or perhaps we'll be the ones who'll look like it instead," Rin tried to joke but only got a groan of annoyance coming from everyone who made him part of their memories. "Who knows, either way, we might have eternal youth no matter what goes on," he added with a slap to the head from his sister telling him that he's not helping.
"If we do defeat Satan we still have our work cut out for us don't we," Yukio realized.
Rin playfully rolled his eyes at his brother, "Took you that long to figure that out? I mean for all we know he might multiply himself or jump back fully restored, this might take an eternity, rather if we defeat him or not" he said holding onto his wife. "Heck even defeating him might cause more havoc by every amount of damage he's done multiplying as well," he added.
"Why do you always have such an overactive imagination? Also, why does it always worries me?" Yukio asked mostly wanted to know but at the same time, he didn't want the curiosity to kill him.
"Do you really want me to answer that?"
Yukio pondered and before he could say anything their sister cut them off.
"Come on guys we will come home again with Satan defeated and no time will pass here, because we really don't know," Sam said completely convinced with her own words, though what she didn't mention was the fact that she doesn't think the outcome will be perfect by any means. Rin got onto Kuro while he got his sister's hand to get on the giant demon cat causing her to emit blueness throughout her body until she and Rin weren't touching with their skin. Sam got Danny's hand while Danny did the same with Yukio to get on Kuro.
"Are you kidding Saki? We all have a major regret that we'll be severely punished for," he told his sister making sure no one else heard, leaving her confused on what he meant. It's true no matter what they'll have regrets in general but was some of the regrets really that bad that they'll have a potentially fatal fate? What exactly kind of regrets was he talking about since there had to be many to choose from. There just had to be a specific type that he was referring to, he wouldn't even bring it up at all if it didn't seem like the main issue. So what does it even have to do with anything?
With that, they waved once more to their friends and family as Danny cried "I'm going ghost!" to turn into his phantom form.
Rin and Sam made a more demonic appearance as soon as Rin drew out his Kurikara though Rin decided to go fully demonic as his flames were red like his and Sam's current pupil color as the eye color turned the same shade of blue like Sam's flames as her eye color stayed violet and kept the same shape as Rin's eyes were more triangular, his hair was pale blue that fades to white when reached to the bottom, his fangs were much sharper as his ears were more pointy. Rin also had his demon heart showing and with two bumps on his forehead, despite the appearance he had control over it and kept his personality.
Yukio was the only one who appeared exactly the same as he didn't have his own type of form to turn into.
Whatever they'll be facing in Gehenna won't be a picnic, they could die before they even touch their father. So they had to go full out as much as they can. Danny made Kuro along with everyone riding him all intangible.
The currently intangible Kuro went inside the gate with the people on his back, closing it before the demons guarding it could hurt someone. Everyone wiped away their tears waiting for their family to return one day.
Satan's defeat possibly won't matter since the damage he's done could be everlasting as is, so his defeat won't have that much effect as he gave too many types of suffering for it all to just disappear. There's also a possibility he couldn't be defeated at all, as the battle could take forever and no one will ever know the true outcome. Who's to know for sure of the beginning middle, end, and aftermath of Satan's demise? Will it ever happen at all?
Perhaps Rin's right about Satan being able to restore himself or duplicate himself, though it could be that his imagination was getting the best of him. It's possible that Sam was right about them returning too. If that's the case, then no worries. However if Rin's right then the triplets will just have to be known as the Satan Slayer Siblings.
All credit goes to the creators and respected owners. A lot of what happened in this story wasn't originally supposed to happen yet I'm glad I decided to add it. I would tell you what's what, but where's the fun in that?
Sorry if it's not the ending you expected, but it's an ending I love.
I have read the most recent chapters of the manga and yep there are some things that didn't make sense with this story and I should've kept up with it but I thought it was on hiatus. So sorry if there are certain details I'm missing such as the fire demon king being female; I might've said that the eight demon kings were all male in some way rather than I implied it or wrote directly like Sam as the only daughter of Satan or that she has 10 brothers or something like that. But can you really blame me for thinking Iblis was male? I guess in this story Sam does have at least one sister.
The manga is still going as far as I'm aware so there might be other details or plot points or even explanations that have yet to come and unintentionally troll on this story but I won't edit anything in the story as I refuse to go back and keep re-editing regardless of how important the information is in terms of the most recent chapters. References will be a different story.
I just have to add, please Cameron Boyce Rest in peace who died July/6/2019 with a too-short life and I hope you know you inspired, you were loved and cherished like everyone else we lost. I hope you get to meet them and/or see them again, and watch over those who are still living as well as those who have yet to exist too.
