-Five days later-

Yoru would only show up at night when he would visit his masters. Natsuko had spread the word of the demon and she was like their savior now. The angel didn't harass Eien anymore but it still felt like something was off. The days went on like normal but the redhead felt like he was constantly paranoid which he was.

Eien took a deep breath as he sat with his Father at the kitchen table. Yoru was there as well but he made sure to stay out of the light incase someone was watching.

"I'm tired of this," The young redhead said with an annoyed sigh. "Why can't we just run. It's not like she will find us." Eien gave a yawn, that in fact showing that he hadn't slept in days.

Sasori frowned and shook his head. "Isn't that suspicious enough? They'll think Yoru is with us, which he will be anyway, and go searching for us. Last time when we tried to run they were one step ahead and-" Sasori stopped at that and Eien froze. He knew that his Father couldn't be killed but at the thought of his Mum brought back so many agonizing memories. "We can't run. If not once Natsuko finds Yoru missing, they'll move to find him and we're in the clear."

Eien growled. "Why can't we just go back to the Underworld? It's safer there and they can't get to us," He explained simply.

Sasori frowned at the idea. "We can't just go whenever we want, Eien. Yes, I can go on occasion but that confuses the cycle of my time on Earth."

The younger male groaned. "Well what will we do then? Where are we supposed to go?"

"Why don't we actually go to Europe like I was saying. Iwa and Konoha are villages that aren't even on a map and I have a feeling they won't even exist for a while longer," Sasori said.

"But-" Eien suddenly stopped and felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise up. A few seconds later there was the sound of someone teleporting and Sasori sighed.

"What is it Sandaime? Can't any of you take care of whatever's going on in the Underworld?"

The demon frowned. "I'm sorry, my King, but... I don't know how to say it but... Angels," He said carefully. "Are trying to get into the Underworld."

The Devil stood up from his chair in shock. "What?!" He yelled, his eyes turning red and his fangs growing. Eien was in just a shock and when he looked over at Yoru the demon's eyes were wide. "How are they doing this?" Sasori asked as his smoky robe came over him.

Sandaime kept his face passive as he began talking. "They are 'sacrificing' humans and keeping their souls on Earth. A little while later some of the retrievers come to judge the souls and one of them was ambushed. They're torturing her, trying to get her to tell them how to get into the Underworld and destroy it."

"Fuck..." Sasori muttered. He looked at his son with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, Eien, but this takes top priority," He said, moving over to his third in command.

Eien frowned. "But Natsuko-"

"I'm sure you and Yoru can deal with her. She's just one angel," Sasori said as he prepared for a vortex to take him to the Underworld.

Eien looked down dejected. It took one angel to send his Father back to the Underworld permanently. "But you're going to the Underworld now," He complained.

"Yes, but I actually have to go now. I'll only be gone for a day or two to set up more protection spells. And I also have to deal with the angels." The vortex began to form and Sasori smiled. "You two will be fine," He assured. "I'll see you soon, okay?" He asked, but his voice was soon drowned out.

Eien nodded, but he still felt sorrow. He watched his parent disappear before turning to Yoru. "What do we do now?"

The demon smirked, his eyes turning silver. "We fight of course."

-Meanwhile-

Sasori stood in the palace in the main room. He was making sure that all entrances were made so that only souls and demons could enter. He had already dealt with an angel trying to get in by forcing the hostage demon to go the the Underworld and holding onto them. As well as holding onto souls.

But now the demon or soul would not enter unless they were alone.

Glaring up at the black 'sky' Sasori cast another spell by holding his hand up and shooting a blast of red from his palm. It burst and spread over the entire Underworld. That would be the last precaution before going back to Earth to deal with the angels.

-Later-

Eien sighed as he finally got let off of work and was now heading home now that is was near midnight. Yoru had sent him a message in the middle of the day saying he was preparing something to help them. Eien just wished that he knew what his plan was. They were going to fight, that was all he knew.

Giving another sigh Eien continued heading home but he stopped when he actually saw a white feather go to him before flying away. He raised an eyebrow and went on walking again but realized the feather was heading to his house as well.

He walked a little faster and the feather began zipping through the streets. Eien continued this pace until he saw smoke rising into the sky. His eyes widened and he sprinted to his home, finding a fire was started, but from the inside. He ran inside, wanting to know what Yoru was doing, but when he did so he collapsed.

The door closed behind him and the redhead lifted his head a little to see glowing marks all of the walls. Blessings.

He gave a cough as he stood up slowly. He looked at his wrists to see if there were any bracelets on him but there were none. It certainly felt like he was covered in the strange beads. He went to the door and tried opening it, but found it was locked. When he kept on trying the knob heated up and almost burned his hand.

Giving another cough Eien moved to the back door slowly only to find that was also looked and burning. The fire was coming from the kitchen and it was slowly spreading to the living room.

Eien could barely keep his eyes open as he moved to his bedroom. That where the most blessings were and he almost passed out from the energy drain. There was shouting outside, so he did his best to get to a small window in the living room to see what was going on.

He saw a large throng of villagers cheering and he wondered why. Why did they set his house on fire and lock him in? They couldn't have known.

One person in the crowd stood out and he called for them. She turned around and her eyes widened. She pushed through the crowd and went to the open window, confusing people.

"Eien? What are you doing in there? This wasn't meant for you?" Natsuko said, enraged and sad.

The redhead tried to get more fresh air but the smoke over ruled that. People soon stepped away once they realized they caught the wrong person. "I..." He coughed and she touched his face. Her hands were warm and soothing and the redhead wanted to sleep. "Followed feather. Saw smoke," He rasped out.

Natsuko's eyebrows furrowed. "A feather? I sent out a feather to the darkest thing in the village. It was supposed to go to Yoru and lead him to the house..." Her eyes went wide and Eien smiled. She knew. She knew because a disgusted look went over her face and she pushed him back inside. "Go back to hell, you monster!" She held out her hand and a burst of white went over the house, locking Eien inside for good.

The redhead tried to summon a small puff of wind for fresh air but nothing came. The window and doors were now barred with the blessings and Eien gave a cry as the spell went through him.

He began moving again but he went to his Father's room, the one place that had the least fire. He remembered being engulfed in flames but this was nothing like that. After a while Eien fell to the floor, trying to get a wisp of clean air but there was none left. He heaved and threw up on the ground as the smoke filled his lungs. He then lied still, not being able to move anymore.

He heard creaking and he looked up to see a the ceiling ready to fall. He tried to crawl out of the way but the beams fell on his back all the more. Eien screamed as it burned his skin and held him down. But with the wood out of the way, fresh air rolled in.

It didn't matter. Eien couldn't breath in the first place due to his lungs being crushed. A minute passed and his vision was going black. There had been a buzzing in his ear but it was replaced by a high pitched whistle. Eien opened his eyes just in time to see something crash through the opening in the ceiling. The thing got the burning beams off of him and picked him up bridal style.

"You honestly fell for the trap, my prince? I'm quite surprised." Eien was too far gone to answer. He heard a crash near the front door and Yoru swore. "We have to go." Eien heard how drained the demon sounded and wondered how he was even standing.

"Demon!"

Yoru quickly turned to wind and went through the opening with Eien. They only got to the roof before Yoru went down on one knee, panting. He held up Eien with one arm as he used the other to steady himself.

Eien felt a small amount energy come back to him and he opened his eyes slowly. He flinched and began getting up but Yoru shook his head before standing up. "We have to leave now," He rasped before jumping off the roof to another. He wasn't completely wind and Eien realized he was still tired from entering the house.

After a minute the redhead heard a flapping. He turned his head a little to see a giant bird following them. He looked back at Yoru who was still trying to get away as fast as possible but he was actually slowing down from the energy drain. Eien put his hand on the demon's hand and gave him the remainder of his energy, knowing it wouldn't be any use to him.

Yoru smiled a little. "Thank you, my prince. Now you can actually get away."

Eien eyed the demon. He didn't say we. Yoru smiled and threw Eien into the air. The redhead's eyes widened and he floated for a second and saw Yoru summon wind from his hand. It wrapped around the sixteen-year-old before closing around him.

The last thing Eien saw was Yoru smiling tiredly with an angry angel right behind him.

-Meanwhile-

Sasori sighed as he was confronted by four angels. He saw one of his assistants bound and chained with one of the angels holding a leash. He was in an empty field where the angels were waiting for him.

"Now why are you tormenting my subjects? I have done nothing to you in years," He said with a frown.

An angel with long white hair glared at him and bared his teeth. "Countless angels have died under your hand!" He yelled and the demon on the ground below him flinched.

She wasn't even that old. She had just become a demon three years ago. She had silver-blue hair and yellow eyes. She stared at the Devil pleadingly but Sasori would not meet her eye.

"The last time I killed an angel was when they were trying to slay me in return. Almost one-thousand years ago," Sasori explained before smiling. "But aren't we alike? We keep things balanced, we have our own duties. Even I am part angel-"

"You are part fallen angel, Devil. A sin to be even considered one," The male angel said before smirking. "I received a message an hour ago. It seems that your son is in dire trouble. What will you do when your only heir is gone? Destroy more lives by trying to bring another in the world?"

Sasori kept his face impassive, his smile now gone. "What are you going to do when your kind dies once more?" He asked as his aura seeped out around him.

The angels just glared at him. "It's already too late to save him. Just like it's too late to save the rest of your kind," He said before summoning a white staff. He lifted it up and the demon below him awaited her death. The blow never came, instead the sound of falling bodies reached her ears.

The demon looked up to see the Devil above her. "Go and help other hostages," He ordered and the demon nodded quickly before disappearing.

Sasori frowned as he saw the dead angels on the ground. He didn't want to kill them but they were causing a havoc for him. He also didn't want to act like the ruler of the Earth but they were making trouble not just for his demons.

The Devil clenched the fists at the thought of his son. He knew he was all right, that he was still alive but he still worried. He wasn't just the Devil, he was also a Father.
