King of Shadows

Chapter 4

(Rin's Pov)

Rin let out a sigh as he finished the first part of what he was working on. It took more energy than he thought it would. True it was his first time doing a spell like this, but he had seen one of his older brothers do it and asked them how to do it. As he looked down at his work that laid in his hand, he smiled at doing a perfect job on his first try. Putting it, and a few other things, back into his pocket Rin stood up and stretched out his back. Hearing a few pops he let out another sigh as he changed into his cat form once again. Opening the window to let the outside light back, in he jumped back on to Bon's bed and laid down on the pillow. He had a few minutes to have a quick nap that everyone thought he had been having all this time. The short rest would at least give him some of his energy that he used back, even if only a little bit of it.

(No One's Pov)

"Wow, that is a lot to take in," Shima said as he laid the top half of his body on to the table that he was sitting at in the dorm's kitchen. "If any of you smell smoke it might be coming from me because my brain is fried."

"Great, now he'll be even more stupid then before," Izume whispered loudly to her best friend from her place at the long table.

"Izume, that wasn't very nice to say," Her friend, Paku, told her. Though the girl couldn't help but laugh a little at what she said.

"It's a lot to take in all that once. You can't really blame Shima for feeling like that. Even my head is hurting a little after all of that," Konekomaru told the two girls. "Though it also seems hard to believe that what Rin said is also true. I have never once heard of anything like that before and we live with a family that has a snake demon's blood running through them back home. They have never said anything like this or even hinted about it."

"Then that would just prove what Rin said that only family would know and that it's kept between them," said Paku. "They might even have wanted to tell you but were afraid of it being overheard by the wrong people," She added. "Rin said that the higher-ups watch people with demon blood and humans that may become a demon's mate. They wouldn't want people to think that not all demons are pure evil. That way they wouldn't fight or kill them when they are ordered to without any reason as to why they would have to do it if they weren't doing anything wrong."

"Once they start asking questions like that, they would start to be seen as traitors or perhaps under a demons' control," added Shiemi. She had been called over to the dorm once Bon and Yukio had returned from upstairs and told everyone that they had something that everyone needed to hear. "I'm sure if you give them a call or maybe write a letter to ask them to see if what Rin was true or not."

"Though that may be a good idea we'd need to go through all that trouble," Paku told them with a smile.

"PAKU!," Shouted Izume.

"What do you mean Ms Noriko?," Asked Yukio

Paku just turned her smile to Izume and placed a calm hand on her friends arm. Izume glared at her best friend before she let out a sigh. Then was no winning when Paku was giving her that smile.

"I have fox demon blood running through me," Izume told them as she looked away from everyone and at a wall. "I won't give you my full family history but the Kamiki clan was started when a human made a deal with a fox demon to help them seal away a nine tailed fox that had gone crazy. It took them a long time to find a spell that would work on it and to also find the nine tails when they did find a way. Once the nine tails was sealed away they told each other their feelings and the rest is history."

She turned back to look at everyone again. "What Rin said is true. When my clan was first started they were watched very closely and it took years before they stopped and forgot about us. Those in my family haven't married a demon in a long time. Mostly normal humans or other Exorcists, but the story of how the clan was started and the world Rin spoke of have been past down to each new child of the clan without fail throughout the ages."

Everyone but Paku looked at Izume with either surprise or wonder in their faces.

"Well I can honesty say that I didn't see that one coming at all, but that does explain why your eyebrows remind me of a fox's now," Bon said finally breaking the silence.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY EYEBROWS!"

Everyone began to laugh as they watched Izume try to kill Bon but Paku was holding her back. Once Bon stopped laughing he asked Shima if he could go get Rin from upstairs and wake him from his nap. Shima agreed as he jumped out of his seat and headed over to the stairs. Once he was out of everyone's line of sight, he took out his phone and sent a quick text before he reached the door. Once at the top of the stairs he headed over to Bon and Rin's room. Opening the door, he took a look around until he saw the black cat lying on the pillow sleeping.

(Mephisto's Pov)

Mephisto was working on some paperwork when his cell started to ring letting him know that someone was calling.

"Hmm? Now who could be calling me? I'm not expecting Yukio for at least another few hours."

Reaching into his pocket he pulled his pink cellphone out with all of its little charms hanging off it. He took a quick look at the name that was flashing on screen and a smile grew on his face. Hitting the answer button, he raised the phone to his ear and greeted the person who called.

"Why hello! To what do I deserve a call for you my beloved friend?," Mephisto answered.

"Still weird as ever you pink demon," The caller said. "I called you because I got a call that my familiar isn't needed anymore and that I'm being sent to a new place for a job. This job just so happens to be in your school."

Mephisto's smile grew. "Really now? That is quite interesting."

"Oh don't try giving that BS of not knowing anything Mephisto. I know far too well to fall for that and you know it. Now either you tell what the hell it is you want me over there for now or wait until I get over there and get finished killing your ass to tell me."

Mephisto didn't say anything for a while as he turned his chair to look out of the large windows behind him.

"Hello?" The caller called out after a minute of still on answer.

"I'm still trying to decide which option to pick from," The demon responded.

"Oh for the love of-!" The caller shouted. "I'll see you in two hours Mephisto Pheles and I'm going to kick your damn ass!" The caller continued to shout before hanging up on the demon.

Mephisto just continued to smile as he closed his phone. A small chuckle could be heard from him as he rested his head on his closed fist. "Well it looks like I have a date in two hours," He said to himself.

His phone made a dinging noise telling him that he had gotten a text. Looking down at the sender his chuckle grew louder. "Right on time. Now I just need to wait for my other calls to come in."

(In Gehenna) (First person Pov)

'Well this is just great. This is not something we saw coming at all and father doesn't seem to give two shits at all about what's happened. Even though he was the one to tell us that Rin was going to Assiah.' I though to myself as I walked out of my father's room. 'I mean sure we were going to break the rule anyway but I only meant for it to be a short trip and that the two kings with him would keep an eye on him or anything that would attack us. But NOOO, things just had to go wrong before the party even started. It's a pain in the ass that's what it is.'

Rin had been summoned to Assiah a week ago right in front of me and another one of our brothers. 'That's the same brother I'm looking for right now too.' As soon as it happened we gather the rest of our brothers, but one, and went to our father to tell everyone what happened. Our father did nothing aws the rest of our brothers started asking us questions that we couldn't answer.

When father spook he just told us that we were not allowed to follow Rin into Assiah and that his life is now in the hands of our brother that chose to live there. No one knew what to do after that so we ran off and started fights with anyone and anything that fell into our line of sight. We had just lost our cute little brother that was the only pure light in all of Gehenna, so we were just a little pissed that we couldn't do anything.

'I can't stand it anymore! I miss my baby brother! I know for a fact that Astaroth had left the day after Rin left. I saw one of his demons talking to him before he ran off somewhere and now he hasn't been see since. There is now way I'm leave him to watch Rin alone.'

He reached to the door that he was looking for and could hear the sound of something moving behind them. No, he was going to leave Gehenna and he wasn't going alone. After he got his brother to agree to come with him, 'And I know he will', I was going to make a call to someone I haven't talk to in a very long time.
