Anywho onto that chapter!


Yukio gave out a few pants as he lowered his guns. The battle had been a violent one, even he didn't get out unscathed, but it was at least over faster then what it could have been. He looked around at the battle field, how many people covered the floor and a few demons here and there. The demon kings were each putting away but Amaimon was pouting that the battle had been over so fast.

"It should have been harder than that." He huffed.

"Agreed." Astaroth sighed. The exorcists began taking care of the fallen enemies while the demon kings gathered around Yukio.

"Who's that?" Iblis pointed to the unconscious Hiro as he was taken away by exorcists.

"No one." Yukio answered. As he turned away from his father, his teal eyes met Azazel's obsidian one. It was a moment of eye contact but the both came to a silent understanding, somehow. It seemed as if each of the kings had calmed down but that seemed not to be the case for one of them.

"And what are you fuming about dear brother?" Mephisto asked directing their attention to Lucifer who was glaring and taking a few steps towards the door that held Hisayo and Satan.

"That damn boy!" He shouted as he stomped over towards the door. "We told him to stay out of this!"

"What are you talking about?" Ibis asked. "Do you want to go help father?"

"I do but that's not what I meant!" Lucifer snarled. "I'm talking about how Rin snuck through the battle field and, if I'm not wrong, is currently in there with those two!"

"WHAT!" Egyn cried out, eyes wide in horror. "No! He can't be in there! There is no way he can take Hisayo on! Only father can do that! He'll be hurt! Possibly killed!" As if to justify that statement a large bang came from the room. "WE HAVE TO GET IN THERE!"

"It will take a while seeing as the door hasn't even cracked from everything going on." Beelzebub pointed out. "I'm thinking that Rin got in there from somewhere other than the door, otherwise most of us would be burnt right now."

"I don't care just get us in there!" Egyn exclaimed, steam practically coming from his ears. Another boom came from the room followed by an explosion. "NOW!"

"Would you calm down?" Beelzebub spoke turning his expressionless face towards Egyn. "Satan would never let Rin get hurt."

"I hope he burns that bitch to ashes." Iblis growled.

"For once, I agree!" Egyn said. Yukio was looking around the room and spotted a dark corner with the crack Rin had snuck through.

"I think I found where Rin had gotten in through." He said gaining their attention. They all walked over and they found that it was smaller than they expected. But, with Rin being smaller then all of them, could have easily gotten through it.

"Amaimon do something!" Egyn shouted at the green haired demon. Amaimon blinked for a moment before speaking.

"Why not just break down the door? That would be more exciting than this." Another bang echoed through the air.

"We don't even know if we can break down the door Amaimon." Astaroth sighed.

"Why don't we try?" With that the demon king walked back over to the door and focused on moving the rocks around the door. There was a crack around it, but otherwise the door stayed standing. Forcing more power into it there was finally a response from the area around the door, making it crack and bend. Amaimon smiled with pride and continued destroying the door, much to the shock of the others. And then, just as the door fell from its hinges, a cry rang out that chilled their bones.

"DAD!"

They were frozen for mere moments before they took off, sprinting into the relatively destroyed room. Hisayo was nowhere to be seen and they just assumed she was the pile of ash that was near the center of the room. However, past the pile of the ash, lay a heart breaking, horrifying, and painful sight. Rin was kneeling over the body of Satan, tears streaming down his face as he shook the still body.

"Come on!" He cried. "W-Wake up! Damnit, don't do this! P-Please! Dad." His voice cracked and turned wispy at the end of his cries as his sorrow leaked into his voice. They all raced over as fast as they could, looking down at the still body of Satan. A small dagger was in the demon's chest, right were his heart would be. As if to protect his father from anything else, Rin's wings had tried to circle them both much like his father usually did, but it was futile seeing as they weren't even large enough to circle Rin himself.

Lucifer knelt swiftly next to Rin trying to get to Satan. He could see the wounds the covered the boy's body and there was still a chance he could save their father, Rin just needed to move.

"Rin! Rin, you have to move for me!" He told the younger demon, but Rin wasn't having it. He shook his head in response and Lucifer turned towards the others for help. Nodding, Yukio knelt behind Rin and pulled him back. Being stronger than the exorcist, he fought back, not wanting to leave his father. Not wanting Yukio to be hurt, Iblis reacted quickly and pulled his brother away from the body of Satan.

"NO!" Rin cried struggling against the hold with his limbs flailing and tail lashing. "Let me go!"

Egyn moved over to his brother and took the younger into his arms, holding the struggling form against his chest. "Sh, it's alright. We're still here for you, shhh. You'll be ok, calm down."

Sadly, he still struggled against the other. Egyn kept shushing him and eventually, Rin collapsed against his chest, crying and sniffling, the effects of the after battle finally catching up to him.

"Go to sleep." Egyn shushed. In response Rin shook his head. He wasn't going to sleep with his father in such a state.

Egyn kept trying to have his little brother go to sleep but nothing was working. He looked up at his brothers in hopes that they could do something and that's when Azazel walked over and knelt next to the two. Leaning forwards, he moved his lips to rest next to Rin's pointed ear. While they couldn't hear or see what he was doing, it looked as though he was whispering to Rin. And it worked. Soon, Rin's eye's drooped and he went limp against Egyn.

"What did you do?" Yukio asked.

"What did you say?" Egyn whispered as he adjusted his hold on Rin. Azazel said nothing as he moved away from the two.

Meanwhile, Lucifer was looking over Satan. While he didn't know much about healing, he hoped he could still do enough to save his father. Mephisto and Yukio joined his side after a while, seeing as Egyn was preoccupied for the moment, and helped look over the situation.

"Pull out the blade." Mephisto instructed.

"What? But didn't it hit his heart?" Lucifer asked.

"No, silly," Mephisto smirked. "It hit near his heart. Take it out and see if his demonic healing takes over."

Doing as instructed, Lucifer pulled the blade out of the demon's chest but nothing happened. No smoke came from the flames that would usually heal his wounds.

"Why isn't he healing!?" Lucifer shouted turning to the other two. Yukio had taken up trying to stop the flow of the crimson liquid while Mephisto answered

"Hm," He hummed. "It seems as though his flames were all used up in the battle, just like the last time he fought her. The only difference is that he was actually mortally wounded this time."

"I've stopped the blood flow for now, but unless we can get him back to a place with proper equipment, we'll loss him fairly quickly." Yukio spoke up.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Mephisto said as he waved his hand. A cushioned platform formed under both Yukio and Satan so he would be swiftly carried down there were also a few bandages up there for Yukio to use.

"Wait, why can't we treat him here then?!" Iblis exclaimed.

"Because I think it would be easier to finish treating him when we don't have to move. Or do you disagree?" Mephisto smirked when Iblis grumbled but didn't disagree. He had a point. It would be better for Satan to be comfortable rather than to move him around once his wound was taken care of. Rin, who had been within Egyn's arms, was also placed on the floating platform. With all that taken care of, they left the room and headed out to take care of the two.


When Rin woke, it was to a pale ceiling and a comfortable bed. At first, he was confused. What had happened? Did he somehow pass out or something? Was that all a dream he had? But then, it all came rushing back. Him sneaking in, the battle, Hisayo's death, and his father…

He shot up in the bed he was in and when he didn't see his Satan within the room, he scrambled to get out of bed. He didn't notice Lucifer sleeping in a bed nearby or that he woke up at the sound of his frantic squirming. When the cushions were finally off of his legs, he swung his legs over the side of the bed.

"Whoa, calm down Rin. You just woke up." Lucifer chuckled as he circled his arms around the other. Rin calmed down for a moment, leaning back against his oldest brother and Lucifer laid his cheek against the midnight hair upon the younger's head. "I'm so glad you're awake. We were all so worried. You've been unconscious for days, we were afraid you'd be asleep for forever. I'm even amazed you're awake now. You're never allowed to do that again, you hear me?"

"Everyone's ok?" Rin asked, not looking up at his brother, just starring forward.

Lucifer knew what the other was implying and chose his words carefully. "Some of us are still healing from wounds but otherwise everyone's just been waiting for you to wake up."

However, Rin saw through his little trick. He dared to ask about that one person who was there in the end. "And…dad?"

Lucifer's breath caught. He isn't surprised, he knew that Rin would ask about Satan but he just didn't know how to answer this. The very thought of telling him what the condition of the king was made him want to shield the boy's ears from the world around them. However, he seemed to have paused for too long because the words Rin spoke next made him want to cry.

"Take me to him."

"Rin-"

"Take. Me. To. Him." Then Rin looked up with sorrowful and pleading eyes. "Please."

He couldn't say no. "Alright, but let me carry you. You're still weak." For once in his life, he didn't care that he was being carried like a baby. Rin just laid his head against his brother's chest and let him carry him to a different room. The thump of his heart gave a sense of comfort but it only did so much to calm his fears. The walls and people around them passed by like smoke in his vision. Everything was out of focus as he was carried to the place of his father. And when they finally entered the room that held his body, it seemed like everything had slowed down. Time stopped. All that mattered was the still body upon the bed.

Tears welled in his eyes as he gazed at Satan's body, but he told his brother to bring him forward. He was placed down next to the bed on his knees and at the sight of the shallow breathing of Satan made his own breath catch. But, he was sure he had died right before him. Why…

As if sensing his thoughts Lucifer answered with a voice thick with tears. "We were able to get the dagger out but his healing hasn't activated at all, his flames are still too weak. If he doesn't regain strength in them soon, we don't think he'll make it." He stopped there as the tears welled in his green-yellow eyes.

Rin bent his head in sorrow, tears once again making themselves known on his cheeks. Now he really wished this was all a dream. That he'd wake up anywhere but here. Back at the castle in Gehenna or back in his and Yukio's house. Hell, he'd even take right after he woke up the first time! Anything but this nightmare that lay before him. His father was dying and he couldn't do a fucking thing about it!

Wait.

Lucifer said that he wasn't healing because his flames were weak right. Gritting his teeth, Rin lifted his head and push himself up with his arms. He then stood shakily over Satan as he placed his hands over the place where the wound was. With great effort, he gathered up what little flames that he'd built back up in his time of being unconscious. Lucifer shouted at him to stop, but Rin wasn't listening. He forced out his flames so that they would lick at his father's wound with a soft warmth while at the same time he sought to find that link. The one that connected his flames to his father's. The one Hisayo had tricked him with.

He didn't care how much energy it took from him. He would do whatever he could to call to his father's flames, to make the surface and heal the wound upon his chest. He would do this so that Satan would wake up and come back to him.

Rin's arms began to shake and his breathing was turning to pants. Sweat formed upon his forehead but he did not let up. He continued to call out with his flames, searching for those so similar to his to latch onto. When he felt something weak respond to his call, he latched onto the response and pulled. He pulled and called with all the strength he had until finally, his flames flickered and died upon his skin. His arms gave out and his knees buckled. He would've hit the floor had Lucifer, who had been watching with awe at what his younger brother was doing, not caught him before he hit the ground.

With what little strength he looked back up at Satan to see if he had effected anything. What he saw made his breath hitch, his eyes widen, and one final tear fall from his eyes. Then, weariness once more took his mind and he was taken bydarkness.


So that was that. Now, for what I was going to say.

1. Do you think I killed Satan? Or, if you don't want to guess, do you think he should be dead or not? You don't have to answer I've just been trying to decide myself.

2. The next chapter is the final chapter! That's all.

So feel free to comment, ask questions, say opinions, etc.

Until next time! :D
