OK so this is the next and last chapter.

Thank you all for the reviews/follows/favorites!

Honestly a lot of you didn't want Satan to die while two of you did, one person say Rin absorbs his power. And I wanted to get all of it in here, and I think I created a fitting ending. And I'm crying right now. I never thought about when this story would end and now that it is, I just can't believe it. I'm going to miss every single one of you and I hope you all enjoyed this story.

Now, for the last time in this fic, onto the chapter!


Yukio closed his eyes as a breeze drifted through the open window. Today was such a peaceful day, perfect for a get together. It's been three, almost four, years since the battle with Hisayo and since then the worlds of both Gehenna and Assiah had been focused on rebuilding. Those forced into working for Hisayo were cured of her symbol before Rin and his family had left to Gehenna. Demons and People were working together and it was very rare for a demon to be sent back to Gehenna. The demon kings and Rin had to head back to help control the order of Gehenna and since they've left, he hasn't had any contact with them. But he did remember the last few times he had seen the group.


Yukio and the demon kings ran into Rin's room when they heard he was awake for the second time. Lucifer and guiltily told them what occurred the first time Rin had woke up and now that he was awake again. They rushed into the room to see the teen blinking his blue eyes open.

"God damn it Rin!" Egyn growled at him, tears in the corners of his eyes. "Never do that again! You worried us so much!" As the Demon King of Water continued to chatter on and on, Rin turned his gaze to the other's in the room.

"Sorry." He mumbled when he saw they all had similar looks to Egyn.

"It's fine Rin, just please don't do that again." Lucifer said with a gentle smile.

"Dad…is he…" Rin whispered. "Did what I see before I passed out really happen?" He asked, eyes gazing into Lucifer's knowing he had been there. In response to this everyone else turned to the demon king with a question in their eyes. He had explained what happened to Rin, but they didn't know what happened after Rin had been passed out.

Lucifer sighed. "If you mean did you see his flames flare up then yes. You did succeed in calling to his flames but there was something else that happened when you were unconscious, Rin."

"W-What?"

"Satan didn't wake up and, while his flames healed the wounds that was the last time they were on him. They vanished moments after he healed."

"But…he's ok right?"

Lucifer gazed at Rin with dark eyes. "Only time will tell."

Rin looked away, cursing himself that he could do anything else. It was silent for a few moments until, Mephisto hummed, gaining their attention. He was eyeing Rin with a curious light and he slowly walked forwards to kneel in front of Rin.

"What the-what are you doing!?" Rin exclaimed as Mephisto grabbed his face and peered into the azure eyes of the younger demon. Everyone was confused at what he was doing especially when he smirked and leaned back, letting Rin yank his head out of his hands.

"What's the hell is wrong with you?!" Rin snapped at his older brother.

Mephisto just continued to smirk. "Well, brother, I don't know what's caused it but your flames have certainly grown in strength over your rest."

"What the hell? What are you talking about?"

"I'd like to know as well." Lucifer huffed.

"What? If you don't believe me just have Rin show his flames again." Mephisto replied.

"No! He will not show his flames because he just woke up and I'd rather not have my baby brother fall unconscious for a third time!" Egyn snapped.

"Hey! I'm not a baby!" Rin shouted back at the other, his eyes flashing with his flames. "And I can handle a little flicker of flames, god!" With that he raised his hand and focused his flames on that part. It didn't take as much effort as last time and what should have been a weak flame in the center of his palm, turned into blue flames engulfing his entire hand.

"GAH!" He cried in shock, commanding his flames away. "Why did it do that?!"

"Possibly because Satan is so weakened his powers began to go to you." Beelzebub supplied. This time, Rin didn't reply.

It wasn't long after that did the demon kings help Rin out of bed and, after Rin gain enough strength, did they begin to take care of any leftover magic or symbols left by Hisayo. Rin's brother's taught him how to burn away the remains and they spent their days doing that. When all that was taken care of, the demon kings had declared they needed to head back to Gehenna to work on things there.

"Will you be back?" Yukio asked once they were all gathered in a large enough area to make a Gehenna gate. Lucifer was standing near Rin while Mephisto was on his other side. Iblis and Egyn were carrying the unconscious Satan, who never woke up during the time they were here. Azazel, Astaroth, Amaimon, and Beelzebub all had any other things or demons they need to carry or force into Gehenna.

"I don't know." Lucifer answered.

"We better be back." Rin huffed. "As much as I like home, there's a lot more to do here."

"Tell me about it!" Mephisto sighed. "It will be odd seeing home after so long."

Rin gave his brother a smile before going forwards to throw his arms around his tall cousin in a hug. "I'll miss you."

"Same here." Yukio said returning the hug.

When Rin pulled back, he smirked as he walked back to his brother's. "Don't die from your own cooking while I'm gone."

"It's not that bad!" Yukio defended.

"Right, and I'm an angel." Rin smirked at Yukio's frown.

"Come on Rin, we have to go." Lucifer said, nugging Rin's arm. Rin nodded in response and with a slice of his wrist, he let blood pool on the ground. The blood slowly formed into a circle which, after much practice, finally formed into the Gehenna gate. While his were never that good when he was younger and tended to be small, he had learned to make large ones without passing out but they only lasted for a few minutes.

"Ok, everyone hurry up, into the gate." Lucifer guided. Soon they were all sinking into the dark depths of the Gehenna gate and Rin gave one last wave to Yukio before he was gone.


And now, after almost four years, did Yukio finally get a message from a low level demon that Rin and his brothers were coming to visit. He had received the note about a week ago and he had informed the other exorcists of their arrival.

A meow caught his attention and he turned to see Kuro, who had stayed behind because Rin wanted Yukio to have company, watching him with big eyes. Yukio smiled and reached out to scratch the cat's head.

Suddenly, the door opened with a bang and Yukio whipped his head around to see Shura standing in the door way with a package of beer.

"Yo! Are the demon's here yet!?" She shouted with a smile.

Yukio glared at her. "No they aren't. Is there a reason why you're breaking down my door, no, why you're here in general?"

"Hey just because I knew them for a little bit doesn't mean I don't want to see them again." She shrugged. "Besides, I doubt you have the right drinks for a party." Yukio just sighed.

"I'm sorry Yuki!" Shiemi cried coming in from behind the red head. "I tried to stop her!"

"Its fine Shiemi, just let everyone in." Soon everyone was filed inside the building and Yukio saw everyone who came. Shiemi, Konekomaru, Suguro, Shima, and Izumo had all arrived like he expected but then there were the others who came that he didn't expect like Shura and Yasue.

"Baldy didn't want to come, no matter how much we bugged him." Shura said opening a can of beer.

"She means Angel." Yasue answered.

"And what about you?" Yukio asked.

"Does it matter? I'm here so what?" Yukio was about to respond when excited shouting met both his ears and everyone else's. Familiar shouting at that.

"Did you see that!? It stayed open longer this time! I can't believe I got it that big and kept it open for half an hour!"

"Yes Rin, and maybe next time it will stay open for an hour." Said another voice

"It's been like four years, shouldn't it be past an hour by now?" This was another different voice

"Hey! I had to deal with other things! Besides I don't want to hear you talk! I've never even seen you make a Gehenna gate!"

"That's because I can't, idiot!"

"Shut up!" Said a fourth voice. "We're here!" Everyone was watching as nine familiar figures came up to the door. Rin was beaming as they approached while it looked as though Iblis was pouting. They all looked around the place at all the people there and then Rin's eyes brightened even more as he ran up to Yukio and gave him a hug.

"Yukio! See! I told you we'd be back! And you didn't die from food poisoning!"

"It's great to see you too Rin, and I told you my foods not that bad." Yukio said pulling away.

"Yeah well, even if you had made food for today, I brought some homemade food for all of you." That's when Yukio realized that there was a delicious smell coming from a basket that Egyn carried. Yukio's mouth unconsciously watered and Rin laughed at the reaction.

"Oh thank Gehenna, you have beer." Iblis cried with relief as he grabbed a can.

"I second that thought!" Astaroth said with a smirk as he too grabbed a can.

"See!" Shura cried over to Yukio. "You would have had some angry kings on your ass if I hadn't come!" Yukio just rolled his eyes. It wasn't long until everyone was enjoying themselves. The exorcists were comfortable around the demon kings and vice versa. Any time before now this would have seemed like the oddest situation to be in. The Lords of Gehenna chatting casually with exorcists, neither trying to kill each other. It almost seemed surreal and had Yukio not been there three years ago to see how they all worked together he would have thought this was a dream.

"It's so weird to see everyone interacting like this." Rin's voice broke him from his thoughts. "I use to believe that all exorcists would do would attack me and my family if we ever showed our face in Assiah."

"And I use to believe demons were hell bent on chaos." Yukio responded. "But all that changed."

"Yeah," Rin sighed. "Believe it or not, this is what my dad wanted. For Assiah and Gehenna to be united like this."

Yukio hesitated before speaking. "How is he? The last time I saw him, he was unconscious going into the Gehenna Gate."

Rin didn't speak, his mind going off into the memories of sometime after they returned to Gehenna.


A cough came from the still form on the bed, catching Rin's attention. Over the time he and his brother's had returned, they focused on regaining order and Rin was working on his slowly increasing flames. His father had grown to look so old and sickly, they didn't know if he'd ever wake up…or live.

So when the sound came from the bed, Rin had jumped up and raced over towards it. He watched as blue eyes so similar to his own cracked open and gazed around. There was a slight color of gray in his father's hair now and he seemed a bit thinner but he had otherwise stayed the same. But when the eyes opened, Rin felt overwhelming joy.

"Rin?" A raspy voice spoke. "My, haven't you changed." It was true. It had been about a year since their return to Gehenna and in that time his hair had grown longer to touch slightly past the bottom of his neck and his bangs were longer as they flopped in front of his eyes. His wings, much to his amazement, had grown a bit more to cover about three-fourths of his body. The only reason for that was that because of the enhance power of the flames.

"Hey, dad." Rin whispered back. Satan smiled at his child and opened his arms, albeit weakly, and let Rin jump into them.

"I thought I lost you!" Rin cried into his shoulder.

"Well I'm here." Satan whispered gently but he knew that wouldn't be forever. He could feel how his power had begun to go to his youngest and he knew that his time was now limited. And it seemed that Rin understood this as well for the words he spoke next were the ones they both dreaded to hear.

"But not forever." They pulled away and Rin looked back at his father with sad eyes that took in the now weaker frame of the other.

Satan swallowed. "No, not forever. I honestly don't know how much longer I have." But then he weakly grabbed his son's hand. "But let's not dwell on that now. I'm here now and when the time comes for me to pass on, I will. But that's not now."

Rin gave him a watery smile. "Yeah."

Soon the others were informed of Satan's awakening but they also knew the same facts as Rin. Over the next two years, Rin would spend his time training, playing, and simply enjoying his life. He would feel as his flames grew and guilt would enclose upon his heart. But he would push it aside to that his father would not see his sorrow. Now was the time to be happy with him, not sad. Then came the day he suggested that they go visit Yukio. Rin was a little reluctant at first, but Satan had assured him he'd be fine by the time they returned.


"Rin?" Yukio's voice this time broke Rin out of his thoughts.

"He's…doing alright." Rin said finding his voice. "He woke up but…but we…you should've seen him. He's so sick and it's all because his power is slowly leaving him. He might not make it another year, he's so weak Yukio, so weak. Even now, I can feel his flames leave him, and it hurts that I can't do anything."

He never spoke louder than a whisper but Yukio could feel how much emotion was conveyed in those words. He didn't know what to do right now. His own father was still imprisoned and he still felt bitter towards him. Once more, no one would think that anyone could hold so much love towards the demon known as Satan but as Yukio gazed upon his cousin, his own heart felt like shattering at the sight of him trying to keep from crying. And even though Yukio didn't see the man himself, he knew that it wouldn't be long until Satan would pass on to wherever it is that demons would go.

"Rin," Yukio spoke just as quietly that Rin had. "I want you to know that, we're all here for you. If, no, when Satan-uncle-fades away, we'll all be here for each other. But he's still around right now and I hope that you all be as happy as you can as until that time. Right now is a time that it seems all the darkness is fading away and as sad as this may be, there will soon be light again."

"I wonder if he'll ever get to see what became of his dream." Rin said, giving a small smile.

"Knowing you, you'll find some way to bring happiness to him." Yukio responded giving his own smile.

Rin shuffled closer to his cousin. "Thanks Yukio. The same goes for you too."

"Thanks."

The two sat together for a little longer before going to join the party. Everyone was happy. The dark times were passing and while there were still some more to get past, they would deal with them when they came and they would do it together.

Slowly and steadily Assiah and Gehenna soon grew to be good friends, demons and humans no longer fighting. One day, Rin brought Satan to Assiah to show his father how his dream became a reality. They had spent that day surrounded by family. And when his days would came to an end they would spend that day together, comforting one another.

However one thing was certain for the future. Whatever it decided to throw at them, they would face it together.


So that was finally that! I'm crying right now! And it doesn't help when your listening to sad songs either! I literally had to stop writing when I did the Satan parts because I was going to cry my eyes out! Gah! Also, I'm just wondering if you'd like little spin offs or a spin off collection telling about different parts that were mentioned or glimpsed over. Maybe even a sequel or whatever. So yeah

Feel free to comment, ask questions, etc.

Have a wonderful day! :D
