My longest chapter! It took me forever, and I was sleep crazed.
"I love my babies," Yuri argued with Shiro. The man who was in his thirties couldn't help but argue with the young woman. Raising children of a demon? He couldn't let her do that!
"They are demons, Yuri. Why would you want to raise demons?!" Shiro argued with the brunette. Shiro had blonde hair with red eyes that were covered by somewhat tinted glasses. He held a shotgun in hand, ready to exorcise any demons.
"They are our babies! Mine and Satan's," Yuri said. She cupped her stomach in her hands. Yuri was a young girl, early twenties, with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. She had two moles on her face, and was pale skinned.
"I can't let you do that!" Shiro exclaimed. Yuri held a hand to him.
"I can't get rid of my babies," she said sternly. The young woman turned, running into her cabin in the woods, slamming the door behind her. She could never let Shiro hurt her babies.
Though, after she had given birth to them, she had no choice. Shiro had found her, two infants wrapped in bundles. One blanket was blue, the other tan.
"Aren't they cute?" she asked with a weak smile. "The one with the blue flames is Rin," she gestured to one of the infants that was covered in blue flames, along with his blue blanket. "And the pale one is Yukio," she gestured to the one in the tan blanket. "They will..live...strong.." she trailed off.
The woman fell unconscious, her infants remaining in her arms. Shiro sighed, bringing out the Kurikara, prepared to slay the infants as Mephisto stood beside him. Just as he was to kill them, one of the children laughed.
"What? I thought you were going to slay them?" Mephisto asked as he saw his friend hesitate.
"That one, he laughed," Shiro said, gesturing to the blue flamed one named Rin.
"Oh? You're getting kind hearted?" Mephisto had to smirk. "You're not one to befriend a demon," he said, referring to how cruel his friend could be when faced against a demon.
"No," Shiro said, turning to glare at the purple haired demon. "You're my friend, after all. Who says I can't befriend a demon?"
"What will you do now, then?" Mephisto asked. After a moment of pause, the blonde announced his plan.
"I can see that the child she named Yukio is human. I will take him, and I will raise him," Shiro said. "Since Yuri seems so chummy with the demons, she can keep her other son,"
"Very well, then. Shall we go then?" Mephisto chuckled. Shiro nodded, lifting one of the infants out of the woman's arms.
They ignored the screaming of the infant they left behind as they took his twin brother.
"Mommy? How come my brother isn't here?" a five year old Rin asked as he sat at the dinner table of the cabin in the forest. The child had raven hair with dark blue eyes. His ears were pointed, as well as his teeth, and he had a tail. He had learned to suppress his flames enough to where he wouldn't be engulfed in them at all times.
"I don't know, baby," Yuri sighed. She stroked her son's hair softly as she stared into his eyes, the child's pupils reddened before turning back to black. "Maybe someday Yukio will come back to us," she said.
The woman had received a note, explaining everything. It was from Mephisto, of course. It explained where her son was, that he was safe, and she would eventually be allowed to meet him. The only reason the woman hadn't fought for her son back was because she had no idea where Shiro was living with Yukio.
"Am I the bigger brother, or the littler brother?" Rin asked. He knew that him and Yukio were twins, though he hadn't heard too much about who was older and who wasn't. Yuri gave a light chuckle, stroking Rin's raven locks.
"You're the bigger brother, silly," Yuri said with a smile. She kissed her son's cheek. "Now, let's begin your training," she said, taking out three candles.
"Daddy, why do I see monsters?" Yukio asked with a frown. His teal eyes were filled with tears, his black framed glasses making them look larger. Shiro sighed, ruffling his son's dark brown locks.
"It's because you were given a spirit wound when you were born," Shiro explained. "Those are demons you are seeing,"
"But, Daddy...I'm so scared.." Yukio cried out. He clung to his Father, the tears running down his cheeks.
"Yukio, join Daddy, join me to become an exorcist," Shiro said. The brunette looked up to his Father with curios eyes that were still tearful.
"Yes, Daddy,"
"You've been given an assignment. Your assignment is to find a woman who is said to have been killed by Satan. The Vatican still believes this woman may be living in secret, or be kept hostage by demons," Mephisto said. He gave a smirk as he explained it to the fifteen year old, making the teen believe that the man may be hiding something.
"Is that all?" Yukio asked with a frown. He was so serious, it was a bore to the woman who he had been working with since he was a kid, Shura. She wouldn't be accompanying him on this mission. She was in Kyoto. Yukio was specifically instructed to go on this mission solo.
"That is all, have a wonderful trip!" Mephisto exclaimed as the teen walked away. "A trip down memory lane," he said to himself with a grin.
The teen walked through the forest. There was something about it that was eerie. Maybe it was the fact he hadn't seen any demons so far. Maybe it was the fact that the forest was quiet, he didn't know.
Then he saw it. Yukio saw the cabin that had snow covering the roof and the fence of the porch. It looked like it could be a quaint little home, or possibly a nest for goblins.
The door of the cabin swung open and the teenager saw it. He saw another teenager, who may have been a year younger than him. What made Yukio know he was facing a demon was that the raven haired teen had a tail that wagged behind him.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Rin asked, baring his fangs at the other. The two hadn't known they were actually twin brothers. If they had known in the first place, they may have met on different circumstances. Though, Yukio had never even known he had a brother.
"I am here to exorcise you," Yukio said. He held a gun up to the demon, aiming straight for the shorter teen's head.
"Stop!" a shout rang through the forest. A woman pulled Rin out of the way, just as Yukio shot the gun. The sound of gunfire ran through the forest as silence grew more apparent. "Are you alright?" Yuri asked quickly, breaking the silence as she inspected Rin.
"What were you thinking? If you had been a little closer, he could have shot you!" Rin shouted out at his Mother. Yuri's cheeks puffed out as she furrowed her brows.
"If I hadn't of done anything, he would have shot you!" she shouted back. Their temper was just the same, as they both continued to lash out at each other.
"You know I can regenerate!" Rin exclaimed. He glared at her for a moment, their argument continuing as their voices echoed throughout the forest. Yukio sat in shock for a few moments before he realized what he was supposed to be doing.
"Yuri Egin!" he exclaimed, breaking their argument. Yuri looked to her other son with wide eyes for a moment. "You have been living here with demons, and the Vatican has ordered for you to be sent back to True Cross for a trial,"
"What's so bad about living with demons?!" Rin defended his Mother. He wouldn't let her get taken to the Vatican just to be executed. He had been told about everything by Yuri when he was younger.
"Everything. Demons are monsters, only here to take over our world and hurt us," Yukio said. He pointed the gun at Yuri's head next.
"Don't you dare point a gun at my Mom!" Rin exclaimed, bursting into blue flames. He grabbed the gun, pointing it upwards at the sky while it was still in Yukio's hand.
"Blue flames. That means.." Yukio couldn't finish as Rin's strong grip had already broken the barrel of the gun. "You're related to Satan!"
"I am," Rin said, not leaving any doubt in his brother's mind.
"Yuri Egin had a child with Satan.." Yukio trailed off.
"She had two," Rin commented. This brought the male brunette to thought.
"Rin, go inside. Practice with your candles," Yuri ordered. She wanted to get Rin away so she could speak with Yukio about the matter. The raven haired teen shot her a glare, which she returned as he listened to her and left. "Would you like to have some tea?"
"I don't want to have anything with the likes of you. What kind of woman mates with a demon?" Yukio asked as he glared at her.
"I care deeply for Satan. But that isn't the point. It's cold out here, and you must be freezing," Yuri said. "I'll make some hot tea to warm you up," with this, the two of them walked into the cabin together.
Yukio looked through the cabin thoroughly. It looked like a cabin that any other person would have in the forest. It did look like a child lived there, though. There was a chest in the corner that was opened, and had unused candles in it, with the occasional candle on the floor.
"Sorry for the mess. I wasn't expecting someone to come execute me today," Yuri said. She made the tea and served it to Yukio, bringing some for Rin before returning to her younger son.
"Must be hard to get tea in the forest," Yukio commented. He took a sip and found it surprisingly good.
"I only have it for very special occasions. On Rin's birthday, I make some for the two of us, and when I run out I go into the first town to the north for some more. As well as some supplies I need. Everything else I get here," Yuri explained.
"That child is really your son?" Yukio asked. Yuri nodded in conformation. "He mentioned you had two children with Satan?"
"Yes, Rin has a twin brother," Yuri said. She gave a sigh. She knew that she wouldn't be able to mention to the teen that he was her son. She would have to discuss it with Shiro, when she would agree to go to the Vatican.
"Interesting," Yukio commented. "Well, have you decided to come willingly with me to the Vatican, or will I have to execute you right here and now?" he asked.
"I will go," Yuri said. "If I can bring my son,"
"He can be evidence," Yukio smirked. "You may bring him along,"
"Rin, hide your tail," Yuri said. She wore her long brunette curls messy down her back and a scarf that went over her tan coat. Under her tan coat was a dress. She wore green mittens and boots with leggings underneath her dress.
"I got it," Rin frowned. He wrapped his tail around his torso, keeping it hidden under his shirt. He wore a blue hooded jacket with black jeans that had a chain around the belt loops on the left side. His flames had disappeared, and he looked like an average teenager, save the teeth and ears.
"Your first time into the world, demon?" Yukio asked.
"It's Rin. Rin Egin," Rin glared at his twin.
"Right, because demons deserve a name," Yukio rolled his eyes, continuing their way to the train station in the town to the north.
"Yukio, don't say such things to your brother! He can't help being a demon," Yuri had the urge to say, though kept quiet, just sighing at their bickering. "If only I had raised them together. They wouldn't be fighting like this,"
They rode the train in silence. Rin had been a bit of a nuisance, complaining of being bored frequently. Yukio gave in and lent the teen some of his manga that he had found in his bag. Rin, having never read manga before, was quite engrossed with it.
"Okumura, where do you live?" Yuri asked. She felt odd calling her son by such a surname, though knew Shiro wouldn't have given Yukio the name Fujimoto. Then he would be passing off an illegitimate son.
"I live in a monastery with my Father," Yukio said, not looking up from he book on exorcism he was reading about. He gave a soft sigh. Yuri had noticed the resemblance between her and her son. No one wouldn't.
Yukio had brunette hair just like Yuri. While Yuri's blue eyes were darker than Yukio's teal ones, they shared the same pale skin, and moles. The woman could just be glad that her older son was clueless and hadn't noticed himself.
She had noticed the resemblances between her sons as well. They were twins, after all. While Rin was lacking in the height department, she noticed the shape of their noses, their eyes, the way they smiled, it was the same. Their personalities, however, we quite different. When they arrived to their destination, Yuri could hear the familiar sound of Shiro and Mephisto arguing.
"Why on earth would you tell him to do that mission? Couldn't you have had Shura do it?" Shiro asked hastily.
"Come now, it wouldn't have been as much fun if Shura had done it! It's more interesting this way," Mephisto's cackle was heard in the distance.
"Father, what are you doing here?" Yukio asked, approaching Yuri and Rin following behind him.
"I was just seeing how your mission...went.." Shiro trailed off when he saw Yuri, and his eyes widened when he saw Rin. "I should have known you would have brought him,"
"Of course I would. He's my son," Yuri glared at the man. The two glared at each other for a long moment before Rin interrupted them.
"Is there a love affair going on between you two?" Rin asked. Yukio couldn't help but crack a smile at the comment, and Mephisto was bursting into laughter.
"I told you it was more entertaining!" the man laughed aloud, holding his stomach. "He's a laugh,"
"A laugh, I'm sure," Shiro said sarcastically. He turned to his son and patted him on the shoulder. "I'm glad your mission went alright,"
"Me too, Father. Though, I have to say, I feel uneasy about the boy's flames," Yukio commented. Shiro almost wanted to cackle at the thought of how Yukio would be uneasy about his own brother's flames.
"Oh, don't worry, Rin's been training with his flames since he was a little one. Right, Rin?" Yuri asked her son. Rin looked up from a magazine he had been reading, directing his attention to his Mother.
"What?"
"You've been training with your flames since you were little, right?" Yuri asked once more. He gave a nod, though was not truly paying attention. The two brunettes gave a sigh before they directed their attention to Shiro.
"Father, shall I bring them to the Vatican?" Yukio asked. Shiro held up one hand.
"Not so hasty, Yukio. For now, we will have them stay with us. After the weekend, you will take them to the Vatican," Shiro said.
The four, they had left Mephisto behind, had returned to where Shiro and Yukio stayed to find it a large monastery.
"This is where you've been living?" Yuri asked.
"I've been living here since you were a girl, Yuri," Shiro said with a chuckle. Everyone walked through the monastery, Rin examining pictures as he walked through the house.
"Is this you?" Rin asked, pointing to a picture. It was a picture of Yukio and Shiro on a snowy day outside, playing with snowmen. "You look young," he commented.
"Yes, Yukio and I had decided to go out for his birthday. I don't have much money, so we could at least play in the snow," Shiro smirked.
"When is his birthday?" Rin asked, blinking in curiosity.
"December twenty seventh," Yukio said with a sigh.
"Hey! That's mine, too," Rin smiled. Yukio gave a light chuckle, though walked out of the room. He probably went to his own room, Rin thought to himself.
"I will show you where you will be sleeping tonight," Shiro said. He guided the two through the monastery to find a room for the two of them to share. "Here you are, I hope you don't mind sharing,"
"It's fine, we've always shared," Yuri told him. She stroked Rin's hair. "I can't stand to be separated from him,"
After a long while, Rin had fallen asleep in the bed. Yukio was asleep in is own bed, and Shiro was sitting at the dinner table in deep thought.
How could the son of Satan possibly be this..normal? Shiro thought to himself. As far as he had seen, Rin was a normal teenager. Though, he had only seen him for a few moments.
"Still thinking?" Yuri asked, walking into the room and sitting at the table across from him. She wore a long sleeved night gown that was pure white. Since she lived in the forest and it was in December, she wore warmer clothing.
"You've raised a son," Shiro said. Yuri had to let out a light laugh at this.
"Of course I did. I gave birth to him, after all. If only I had been able to raise my two sons together," Yuri sighed. "So..you never told me,"
"Told you what?" Shiro asked.
"Why you took Yukio from me," after a deep breath, Shiro began to explain.
"Yukio is a normal child. He was human, and I decided to seek the opportunity that I could to raise him away from demons," Shiro told.
"That explains why my son has decided to become an exorcist, murdering demons, which are his own kind," Yuri said.
"Demons are not his kind. He is human," Shiro repeated.
"He has the blood of a demon running through his veins, whether you acknowledge it or not," Yuri glared at the man. "Him and Rin were supposed to be the perfect example that demons could get along with humans, and you ruined it,"
"I saved him. The only reason he has decided to become an exorcist was because he was given a spirit wound when he was in the womb with that demon," Shiro said.
"You stole him. He could have had a wonderful life with Rin and I. Rin and Yukio Egin, sons of Yuri Egin. Doesn't that sound wonderful?" Yuri smiled softly just at the thought. "You'll never understand how devastated I was when I woke up to only one baby,"
"It's too late now," Shiro said.
"It's not too late. He'll find out that Rin is his twin brother eventually. I know Rin isn't very bright. He's clueless, and sometimes an idiot, but Yukio is a smart boy. He'll see the resemblance between him and I soon enough. He'll notice that him and Rin have the same birthday, the same year, and the resemblance between them. They are twins, they have a connection," Yuri told. She understood it.
"They are fraternal twins. They always had their own separate brains and bodies. They were not one egg that split into two, they were their own selves that just happened to share the womb at the same time," Shiro said with a frown.
"They are still twin brothers. They have a connection, it can't be ignored," Yuri's cheeks puffed out in a frown as she argued with the man. Shiro suddenly let out a chuckle.
"What is it?" Yuri asked, blinking.
"We're fighting just as we were when you were pregnant," Shiro continued to laugh. Yuri began to laugh as well. The two couldn't help but laugh together, something they hadn't done in years.
"Don't touch," Yukio's voice alerted the teen who was in his room. Yukio was sitting at his desk, studying for some sort of a test as Rin stayed in his room.
The raven haired teen's tail had unwrapped itself from him as he felt too uncomfortable with it wrapped up. It wagged excitedly as it looked at pictures on the wall and a calendar hanging.
"What do you do for your birthday?" Rin asked. As their birthday was approaching, Rin was becoming more and more curious. He had been surprised that they shared the same birthday, though thought nothing of it.
"Usually Father and I celebrate my birthday on Christmas. We've never had the money to celebrate them both separately. On my actual birthday, I usually spend the day with Father," Yukio told. He didn't look up from the paper, his glasses focusing intensely.
"Oh," Rin said. He frowned a bit as he found a picture of Yukio on a swing set. "What's that?" he asked, pointing to the swing set. Being raised in the forest in secret, he had never done things people his age had usually done, including swinging on swing sets.
"It's a swing set," Yukio sighed. "Don't tell me you've never been on one," with that, Rin shook his head. The teen scooted away his work, standing from his desk and grabbing his coat. "Hide your tail, we're going to the playground,"
Rin bound down the stairs in excitement at that. He ran down the stairs, his tail wrapping itself around his waist once more. He was stopped by Yuri, who had been watching him as he ran down the stairs.
"Where do you think you're going?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yukio said he's going to take me to the playground!" Rin exclaimed excitedly. The woman thought for a moment before laughing.
"Alright, wear your coat," she said, taking his coat in her hands and instructing him to put it on. Rin nodded, placing his arms through the sleeves as he prepared to go.
"Father, I'll be back. I'm showing Rin the playground," Yukio said. At the raised eyebrow he had received, Yukio explained that Rin had never seen a playground or been on a swing set. So the teen had set off to show him.
"I told you that they would come together. They are twins, they have a connection," Yuri said as she watched her boys leave.
"Woah! This is so cool!" Rin exclaimed as he swung on the swing. He was having the time of his life as his twin brother watched with amusement.
"You sure are entertained by such a little thing," Yukio commented.
"Shut up! I've never been on this thing before! It's cool, and I like it!" Rin laughed as he continued to swing. Eventually, after a while, the older twin had grown bored, getting off of the swing. "That was fun," he told.
"I'm sure, for a five year old, maybe," Yukio chuckled. Rin frowned, growling a bit. His fangs bared slightly when he remembered he was still in public.
No time for instinct, Rin, he thought to himself. When he walked with Yukio on their way back to the monastery, a pathway that lead to the city caught his eye.
"I wanna go there!" Rin exclaimed, pointing to the pathway.
"Rin, that place leads to-"
"Come on," Rin frowned, interrupting Yukio. The younger teen sighed, allowing the older twin to walk slightly ahead of him so they could go to the city.
"Yuki!" a voice called out as they had reached the city. The two turned to see a girl with short blonde hair and kind emerald eyes running their direction. She smiled brightly at the two.
"Hello, Shiemi, how are you?" Yukio greeted with a kind smile. It was the first time Rin had ever seen Yukio smile that kindly. When they met, Yukio had met him with a cold glare and a gun to his head.
He looks good with a smile..
"I'm fine, Yuki. Who is this?" Shiemi asked as she looked to Rin. He blinked a bit, not knowing what to do or say. He had never met anyone else besides the people he was currently staying with.
"This is Rin, he's staying with my Father and I for the weekend. After that, he's going back to his home," Yukio said.
"Oh," Shiemi said softly. "Since you're going home after the weekend, why not come to the amusement park tomorrow? It'll be fun,"
No, no, dear God, say no, Yukio thought. Of course, his thoughts were short lived when Rin gave a nod.
"That sounds fun!" he exclaimed. "What's an amusement park?" he asked, his direction turning to Yukio.
"An amusement park is like a very large playground with a lot more fun things," Yukio explained. It was so simple, a child could have understood.
"He doesn't know what an amusement park is?" Shiemi asked with curiosity filling her eyes.
"Rin has been home schooled since he was little," Yukio fibbed. "He's never been far away from his home,"
"That's how I was!" Shiemi exclaimed, glad to have a friend who had been in home school like she had. "I wish you could stay longer than you are,"
"Maybe I'll come back one day," Rin said, a smirk directing it's way into Yukio's vision.
Not if you're executed first, Yukio thought.
"Yuki, I was wondering if you could help me study for a test," Shiemi said as the three walked through the city.
"The test that's assigned for Tuesday?" Yukio asked. The blonde nodded softly. "Well, that test is mainly about what a demon's weaknesses are. I shall help you study when I can," he added.
"When do you think that will be?" Shiemi asked.
"Hm, how about we all go to the amusement park tomorrow and afterward, I'll help you," Yukio suggested.
"Sure," Shiemi nodded eagerly.
The three walked throughout the city, Rin stopping at every stand to admire what they had to offer. Every time he saw something shiny, something that smelled good, or something that looked like a large plush doll, he would stop and look at it for a long moment.
"Look at this! So cool!" Rin exclaimed for the millionth time that day. Yukio looked at the sky to see it was getting dark. He frowned a bit, though payed no mind.
"Yes, it's very cool, Rin, now let's get going," Yukio said. Shiemi had noticed it was getting dark as well. She remembered one of the important things she had heard from the cram school. Demons are more active at night.
"Aw, come on, stiff pants," Rin frowned.
"Now!" Yukio exclaimed. He grabbed Rin by the hand and took him back to their monastery. "Shiemi, I will walk you home," he said.
The girl was lead to his room, Yukio having used the magic keys to get her home.
"How was the playground?" Yuri asked as she sat on the sofa, reading a book.
"It was awesome! We even went into the city. I saw so many cool things, and I met one of Yukio's friends. We're going to the amusement park together tomorrow," Rin told with excitement still tinting his voice.
"I'm glad," Yuri said with a soft smile. "Maybe you'll be spared," she said to herself.
"What was that?" Rin asked.
"Nothing, sweetheart. Just talking to myself," she excused. "Why don't you go cook something for dinner? I'm sure everyone would love to have your cooking," she suggested.
"Sure, Mom. What should I make?" he asked.
"Make whatever you like," Yuri said, stroking his hair. He gave a nod, retreating to the kitchen when her hand left his hair. "I love you, Rin," she said to the empty room.
"This is delicious," Shiro said as he took a bite. "Yukio have you tried it?" he asked. Yukio had taken a bite of the curry and his eyes widened.
"You're right. It's good," he said. The teen turned to his twin brother. "Well, Rin, you're an excellent cook,"
"Thanks," Rin said with a smile. He loved when others praised his cooking. It was the only thing he really liked about cooking. Sure, he loved the act in doing so itself, though he cooked to make others happy in the first place.
"You're going to an amusement park tomorrow?" Shiro asked Yukio. The brunette nodded reluctantly. The man had to chuckle. "I hope you have fun. Make sure Rin rides all the rides until he throws up,"
Shiro had seen that Rin was a normal teenager. Even if he had the extra additions, such as his teeth, ears, tail, and flames, he was still as normal as they came. A little on the clueless side, but nevertheless a teenager.
He saw how eager Rin was to cook dinner perfectly, and how he had warmed up to his Mother, and was even trying to become friends with Yukio. The man could tell the teen's efforts weren't going to waste.
"Have fun!" Yuri called out as she watched the boys leave the monastery with the young girl, Shiemi. She sighed softly, knowing she would have to let him leave without freaking out on him. If not, he could grow up all wrong. He needs to be independent, she told herself.
"Rin, where are you from?" Shiemi asked with dark blue eyed teenager. The raven haired boy was just about to answer when the brunette did so for him.
"He lives far away, it's farther than Kyoto," Yukio fibbed once more. He hated having to lie to Shiemi, but if that was a small price to pay for what would happen, he would pay it happily. He did notice the glare from the older twin, though.
"Why are you here, then?" Shiemi asked. Once again, Yukio answered for Rin.
"He had decided to visit some family members, and Father and I had extra room for his Mother and him to stay in," Rin continued to glare.
"You're pissing me off, you know that?" Rin asked. Yukio chuckled, giving a nod. They soon arrived to the amusement park.
It was a rather normal day, though Rin was ogling over everything, much like a small child would do.
Maybe he's normal, after all? Yukio thought. No! He's a demon's son! The son of Satan!
"Look, Yukio!" Rin exclaimed, lifting a plush doll and showing it to him. "Isn't it cool?" he smiled brightly, his fangs showing.
"Yes, very cool, Rin," Yukio chuckled. He watched the teen, noticing that he was, in fact, a normal teenager. He was acting like any other teenager, one that had been sheltered it's entire life.
Soon, the day came to an end. Rin and Yukio walked with Shiemi back to the monastery. They planned to have dinner made by Rin before Shiemi would be taken home by Yukio. They came home to different plans.
"Yuri Egin, you are under the arrest for being impregnated and giving birth to the sons of Satan," a guard said as they handcuffed Yuri. Shiro sighed, there was nothing he could do to prevent it.
"What's going on?" Rin asked quickly. He was contained by more guards quickly.
"We have contained the son of Satan and Yuri Egin," a blonde man said through an ear piece.
"What's going to happen to Rin?" Yukio asked. He and Shiemi were grabbed by the arms and had hand cuffs placed on them.
"You are witnesses to the spawn's demon acts. You will be forced to testify," the guards explained. Shiro sighed and could only watch as they were taken. He would be taken shortly after they would arrive to the headquarters.
"What's going to happen to my Mom?!" Rin shouted out at the guards as they pushed him. They treated him like a piece of meat the way they pushed and shoved him. He had noticed that he was put in the cage of a truck that looked a lot like a truck that would collect dogs for the pound. The others were transported through the back seat of the car, like regular people.
"What's going on, Ms. Egin?" Shiemi asked. She did not get an answer as the others remained silent. There was nothing more they could do now.
"Yuri Egin, come to the stand," an unnamed member of the Vatican called. The woman walked to the stand as the others were walked into the building. Rin was pushed to the ground, and a sword pierced through his ankle to attach him to the ground.
"Ah!" he shouted out.
"Rin!" Yuri and Yukio called out at the same time. They watched as the teen collapsed onto the ground in pain.
"He's fine. It will heal," the blonde man said. He seemed to find satisfaction out of this.
"Yuri Egin, is it true that you bore the sons of Satan inside of you?" another unnamed member asked.
"Yes," she said honestly. There was no point in lying. "I carried two sons of Satan and gave birth to them fifteen years ago,"
"You have one son of Satan," a member spoke out. "Where is the other?"
A wail woke Yuri hours after the birth. She looked around the small cavern she had given birth in, noticing that Shiro and Mephisto had long since left. The poor babies, they were probably freezing.
"Let's get you inside," she started before the woman noticed the missing bundle in her arms. What if something happened to him? What if an exorcist had come and taken her baby? Though, why would an exorcist take one of her babies, and not the other. Rin was the demon, after all.
Upon further thought, Yuri realized who it must have been. Shiro had been there, prepared to slay her children. He must have noticed that one of them was human, the other not being so. He must have taken Yukio to raise him.
If that was all, then Yukio would be just fine. As much as Yuri would love to be with him right now, he was in good hands. God only knew that she would be able to see him again.
"My other son was human. He was given up for adoption," Yuri admitted. While it wasn't particularly true, it wasn't completely false.
"This is the only one of the sons who inherited the flames?" a member asked.
"Yes," she admitted. "This is my son, Rin Egin,"
"Execute him,"
Those words rang through his head like a bullet.
Execute him.
"No!" Yukio exclaimed. For some reason, he felt as if this person couldn't be executed. "Please, don't execute him! He's normal!"
"Middle class exorcist, Yukio Okumura, you dare to say that this demon is normal? He's the son of Satan, the God of Gehenna. We cannot possibly let him live,"
"Please, don't. I've observed him over the past fourty eight hours, and he acts like a normal human. Other than his physical features, he's human," Yukio pleaded. "Let him live,"
"We cannot make exceptions. Shiro Fujimoto, come to the stand," after a moment, Yuri left the stand, and Shiro walked to it. "Is it true that you were sent to slay the children of Satan?"
"Yes, it is true," Shiro told.
"And why is it that you did not?"
"I wanted to see how the son of Satan would be brought up. Would he be the savior for Assiah, or the ruler of Gehenna? Only time will tell," Shiro said.
"What about the other son of Satan? The human one,"
"I took him in as my own. Yukio Okumura is the other son of Satan, Rin Egin's twin brother," Shiro said. He sighed as he said it, not wanting Yukio to hear it, though could not lie to the Vatican.
"Very well. We will talk it over and decide what we are to do," it was a one in a million chance, and they managed to get the Vatican to think it over.
"Thank you," Shiro said, stepping down from the stand, walking with the others. It seemed that Mephisto had been present and warned the others of their arrival. He must have helped somehow.
"Now, let's get all of you out of here," Mephisto said. He took the five of them to his limo and they all sat down.
"Damn.." Rin groaned, massaging his half healed ankle. He moaned in pain and leaned against Yuri, who stroked his hair softly.
"You didn't think it would be wise to allow me the privilege of such information, like I have a twin brother?" Yukio asked. "And that he is the son of Satan. That I am the son of Satan?"
"Yukio, you are a normal human. There was no reason for you to be brought up with a demon," Shiro said.
"Except for the fact that I have a demon twin brother," Yukio frowned deeply.
"You know why I did it. I was protecting you," Shiro sighed. Yukio had to sigh as well, since he did understand it. Shiro was only trying to protect him.
"I don't know why I didn't think of it before," Rin smirked. "I knew I had a twin brother named Yukio. Must have forgot for a while," he laughed hoarsely.
"I have..a brother.." Yukio trailed off. He was breathless from the whole matter. There was nothing more shocking than finding out you have a twin brother. Especially when your twin brother is the son of Satan.
"Yep," Rin continued to laugh. His laugh had grown from being hoarse to being a real laugh. Yukio began to laugh along with him.
"We can be a family," Shiro said with a soft smile. He watched his son, Yukio, and the teen he had grown to think of as another son in the past two days, Rin. Yuri smiled at the two as well. Her sons.
Finally reunited.
Reviews are lovely!~ :)
