Author's Note: Oh my God, I'm so sorry this took so long. I beg for your forgiveness. Well, without further ado (?).
Recap: Rin was up to no good and injured Shiemi. Shiemi is currently held in Gehenna as Rin's prisoner.

Chapter 34:
The Same
"Okumura-sensei, it's time to get up. Everyone else is already dressed and waiting for you." Bon gently shakes the sleeping teen's shoulder.
"Bon-san…what time is it? How much time to I have to get ready?" Yukio cracks his eye open gazing up Bon.
"You have ten minutes and counting."
With a sigh, Yukio props himself on his left elbow and scratches the back of his head tiredly. He puts on his glasses and gotten out of bed. Kicking out the onlookers, he started to get ready for their mission. Yukio puts on his clean under garments along with black knee socks. Pulling the t-shirt of his head he sighed thinking of want was to come. Yukio buttons up his dress shirt and straightened his black tie. Lastly, he puts on his twin pistols in their hoisters and then the exorcist overcoat.
Yukio pocketed Shiemi's summoning paper just in case she needed them. He silently prays to the non-existing deity hoping for her safety. He strolled to the kitchen and looks at the table. Empty bowls were stacked for Ukobach to clean. He sat down and hurriedly eats his breakfast. The exorcist joins his comrades by the door and pulled out a key to Pheles's office. They went through the door and were greeted cheerfully by the director of True Cross Academy.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, we were just discussing the plans when entering Gehenna!" he gave a Cheshire grin escorting to their seats at the table. "I even found a way to get in Gehenna through my many anonymous sources."
"How did you-?"
"Hush child, I did say anonymous, didn't I?" Mephisto gives a playful wink doing a tsk-tsk movement with his finger.
The exorcist along with his students sat the table and quietly waited for Mephisto to speak. The said man slicks his purple back before explain their plan. After giving them the information he goes in the back room for a while. When he returned an eerie red glow leaked out into the main room. The exwires gazed nervously at the scene before following their teacher into the room. A door greeted them, along with a grinning Mephisto. He grabs the door knob and waits for the others to approach.
They came closer and Mephisto giving his last remarks before opening the door, "This door is only open for a certain amount of time, so please return as soon as you can."
He nods to their wrists and a watch appears on their arms. The door opens then black-skulled chains reached out and yanks them inside, the door closing almost instantly. Their journey was underway.
~To Rin and Shiemi on the day of the kidnapping~
Shiemi struggles as the navy bluenette jumped from tree branch to tree branch. He tightens his grip on the blond stops in a clearing far from town. He groans inwardly listening to how Yukio and the other will save her, 'Does she even shut up?' Figuring out a way to shut her up, Rin knocks Shiemi unconscious. He then pulled out a piece of cloth and some chains. He gags the female after bidding her with the chains. With a snap of the finger, a door to Gehenna was opened. The demon picked up Shiemi once again in a bridal-style fashion and relaxed as the black skulls covered him from head to toe.
*time change to a few hours later*
Rin paced to and fro the door and his captive. He tail twitched this way and that as he thought quietly to himself. Things were running way too smoothly for his liking. He looks towards Shiemi with a glare.
He relaxes his expression and approaches her with a smug smirk, "I guess your human friends abandoned you."
Shiemi pouts and denies, "Yuki-chan and the others are coming for me, and I just know it."
"Really now, you believe those weak creatures can survive Gehenna?"
"I do, besides, it's Yuki-chan that's coming from me."
She smiles tenderly looking down at her bonded wrists. Rin wanted to gag her response. He wanted to puke. He wanted rip out his taste buds.
"Humans are such weaklings; with their petty emotions…" Rin grumbles.
"Humans are weak sometimes, but are strong when they are in a group. Besides, you're human too! You're the same as Yuki. I'm pretty sure Yuki-chan wouldn't like what you are doing. Why are you doing this to Yuki-chan?! Are you both of you broth-?" Rin slams his fist into her stomach knocking her out.
"You talk too much…"
A stream of blood leaked from her fountain of a mouth. Rin had a pissed off expression on his face. He hasn't been human for a long time, and doesn't plan on doing so now. He steps back from the girl and into the wall. He collapses as uncontrollable tears fell from his face. What was wrong with him? 'What is this substance?' he question and as he touches his wet cheek. He bewildered gaze pointed at his hand and rubs his index finger and thumb together. He tastes them, finding a bitter aftertaste. His face contracted at the taste.
He stood up and left the room. He pulled at key and locked the door behind him. Rin strolls to her bed chambers so he could sleep. Well not necessarily sleep, but rest his eyes so he could think up a strategy for the blond girl later on. Once he gotten into his room he pulled up his shoes and plops down onto his plush mattress. He lays his head on the soft pillows and began closing his eyes. He sunk into a dreamless slumber.
*time change to next 24 hours*
Rin awoke drowsily. He rubbed his eyes and yawned loudly. He props himself up on his left elbow and scratch the back of his head. He thought about what the blond do him. How he and Yukio were brothers and were the same. He doesn't believe it, yet he thought about it. He continued contemplating until he arrived at the cell in which Shiemi was kept. Rin opens the door revealing the goofy blond. The demon formed a small smirk as he entered the room and closed the door. He crouches in front of the female and glares at her sleeping face. As if knowing he was there, she opened her eyes. Shiemi attempted to smile and received a nasty glare from her captor. 'How can she smile after what I done to her,' he growls inwardly. Shiemi, as if she read his mind, spoke.
"I know you're a nice person on the inside. You're just forced not to be by the status quo of being a demon. You're really are like Yuki."
"Do you want to die mortal?"
"You won't kill me because you know your brother will be really sad. You love Yuki-chan so you won't hurt me."
"Shut up!" Rin snarls.
"Admit it Rin-kun… You want to love and be loved."
"I said shut up!" his fist slams into the wall beside her head as tears flowed down his cheeks. "How can a human like you understand how I feel!"
Shiemi trembled as she bit her bottom lip nervously, "I mean…you seem like you are worried for Yuki. A-And you were really nice to me when you were at the hospital so..."
"So what? I was just going to trick you when the opportunity presented itself."
"You didn't want to though. Deep in your heart, deep, deep down, I know you love Yuki."
Rin narrowed his gaze and wipes away the tears that leaked. Rin silently curses to himself from letting his emotions get to him, if that were even possible. Spinning on his heel he walked to the door getting ready to leave. Shiemi yelped to get his attention. The demon glanced over his shoulder with an annoyed glare.
"What?"
"I was wondering if I could go to the bathroom…" she blushes feeling embarrassed.
Rin unchained her wrists and lead her to the bathroom. After handling her business she returned looking very refreshed. Shaking his head he led her back to the cell. Shiemi looked down the hallways, but Rin caught her attention.
"If you're thinking about running away then good luck making it out alive. The guards are merciless compared to me. You don't dare leave my side, is that clear?"
"Hai"
"Glad there is a brain in that dingy head of yours," he mutters under his breath.
Author's Note: Again I am sorry for the overdue updates. I will try prioritizing my time better, so please bear with me.
