Eight demon queens

chapter 7

xxxxxxxxxxxx

(Mephisto's Office)

While the EX-Wires were searching for the person that could fix Rin's kuripaka, the mentioned was frozen in a Crystal/Ice prison with the eight queens around him.

"Well, since we have Rin here, allow me be the first to 'welcome' him." grinned Beelzebub with a perverted smile.

"LIKE HELL!" All sisters, except Mephisto, roared.

Beelzebub pouted at the reaction.

"Anyway, what do we do now that Kurikara is broken?" Asked Astaroth a bit worried from seeing Rin's powers going berserk.

"The only thing we can do. Keep in this crystal until they come back. Otherwise, who knows what could happen." replied Mephisto with a serious tone.

The queen hoped that Rin would be alright, unaware of what was going on his mind...

(Rin's mind)

Rin opened his eyes and found himself in a dark void that seemed to stretch on for miles.

"What is this place? Where am I?" Rin asked as he looked around, seeing nothing but darkness before he heard a chuckle.

"Well well, look who decided to show up." came the voice as it walked closer towards Rin.

Suddenly blue flames appeared around, shocking Rin before he saw the figure in front of him, who was...HIMSELF?!

But there were some differences; The other Rin's hair was longer and was white instead of black, he had pointed ears, sharp claws, shark-like teeth, red eyes, a demon tail, demon horns on his forehead, and darker (almost burned) skin on his arms where blue flames constantly appeared.

"What...who are you?" asked Rin stepping back a little.

"Me? I'm just the REAL you!" The doppelganger declared madly.

Rin was confused by what this guy meant.

"Ugh, I mean your demonic side..." Groaned the other Rin.

"What? How the hell is that possible?" asked Rin.

"Well, every half demon child always has two sides." Began to explain the other Rin, "A human one and a demon one. Understand?"

"Yeah, so you're basically my dark side?"

"Yup!"

"Well, why am I here, and where is here?" asked Rin gesturing to the void.

"In reverse order, we're in your mindscape." Began demon Rin, "And you're here because you lost control of your powers as soon as kurikara was broken."

"Well, how do I get out?" asked Rin.

"Yeah...about that...YOU'RE NOT GETTING OUT!" Roared Demon Rin.

Rin was surprised by the sudden change in tone and saw his demonic side grin.

"What do you mean with that?!" Rin growled.

"I mean, as long as your flames are out of control, you're stuck here, meaning now's my chance to take over your body." grinned his dark side.

His demonic side grinned and readied his claws as they charged at each other.

(Real World)

Soon after discussing what to do to help their brother, Mephisto got a call from the Vatican in which she was told to go to court with Rin's frozen body to stand for trail.

And thus an annoyed Mephisto told all her sisters to get out except Lucifer, who could also speak in her place on the court.

While they all exited the office, Amaimon was thinking to herself.

'Rin-chan...' She thought as she remembered how she fell for him.

(Flashback)

In a deep forest is where a small creature could be seen looking around the place.

The creature was revealed to be a green hamster with red eyes, which was running around while trying to ignore it's wound, which was a pair of bite marks on it's back.

This hamster was Amaimon. She had gone to this human world to see the sights, but had been attacked by a wolf hungry for a meal.

Luckily she was able to kill it with her demonic energy, yet her wounds haven't been healed completely, showing that the wolf had been a demonic one.

So here she was, trying to find a safe place to rest until her wound healed up.

But then she heard some footsteps near her, which meant that a human was coming towards her.

She tried to run over to some bushes, but was too weak to move fast enough when the human was revealed.

Shockingly enough, the human was revealed to be a child around 8 years old with black hair, blue eyes, and wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts.

"Hmm, hey fella, what are you doing out here?" asked the child crouching down to get a closer look at the hamster.

Amaimon just growled as strongly as she could, not wanting the human boy near her. Yet due to her state, it came off as a whimper.

The boy though gently reached down and carefully picked her, being as gentle as possible due to the small wound on her back.

"Come on. I'll fix you right up." grinned the child turning around and heading towards his home.

Amaimon meanwhile was shocked that the boy decided to help her instead of leaving her or doing something worse.

The young boy made it home and went to work on getting a band-aid for the small wound while also grabbing some alcohol to help clean it.

"This may sting a little, but please hang go..." Said the boy.

Amaimon braced herself as he began to apply the alcohol to her wound.

'Tsk.' She flinched when the alcohol was applied before she felt her demon healing on the works.

She noticed however the small child smiling and felt herself feel bliss at him lightly scratch behind her ear.

"Well, there you go! Feeling better already?" The child asked.

The hamster was surprised that the child was still smiling and shyly nodded.

That's when the child realized he forgot something.

"Please wait, I'll come back soon..." The boy said as he went to search for something.

Amaimon tilted her head in confusion and saw the boy come back with something red on a white stick.

"Here you go, a lollipop!" Grinned happily the boy before giving her the sweet.

Amaimon was confused by the gesture, but decided to take a lick from the candy.

Next thing she knew, she was eating all the sweet!

The boy smiled at how fast she ate it and remembered that it was polite to introduce yourself to a guest.

"By the way, my name is Rin Okumura." Smiled the boy.

Amaimon was glad to know his name, yet picked up a familiar scent coming from him.

Why does he smell...so familiar?' Amaimon wondered.

She didn't have much time to think about it as the sound of Rin's father, Shiro, coming in could be heard.

"Hey Rin, are you here?" Shiro asked before he felt a demonic energy near his son's room, which worried him.

He carefully made his way near the energy and spotted a small green hamster where the energy seemed to come from.

The hamster stared at Shiro as the exorcist stared back, the tension getting thicker until-

"Old man, when did you come back?" Rin asked, making the presents deadpan.

"I just came back, but more importantly. Rin, I want you to leave this room, I'll deal with this demon at once." replied Shiro pointing to the hamster.

"W-what?!" Rin asked in shock before Shiro laughed.

"Whoops. Sorry, wrong stuff to say Rin. I meant to let him-" Amaimon growled, "I mean her, go back in the wild."

Rin frowned at hearing that, but understood the wild is where her home was. So he gently picked her up and made his way back to the forest.

Soon he made it into the wild, where he released Amaimon and said, "Well little girl, I hope you have a safe journey..."

Amaimon felt a little sad for leaving, but let her legs take her away from the familiar child.

Even so, she wondered if she could see him again.

(End flashback)

While Amaimon was thinking of her memory, Azazel chose to speak up.

"I pray for father that Rin accepts his demonic side and embrace us..." She said.

"That's gonna be tougher than you think." remarked Iblis.

"How so?" She asked.

"Because, he's always been stubborn." smiled Iblis as her memory of Rin began to come to focus.

(Flashback)

Fire.

Fire was all that she could see in her vision as she could hear the faint sound if wood burning and several muffled screams.

This was the scene as a large mansion was on fire.

But rather than panic or overreact, the girl just scowled in annoyance.

'Yet again, this body ends up overheating like the others...' She thought.

This girl was Iblis, who wore a white sundress with red sandals. She had visited the human world to see the sites, but her body began t burn up as she entered this world.

But even so she wasn't surprised since all her vessels would burn up eventually because they couldn't hold all of her heat.

So now here she was, sitting as the mansion burned. She didn't have to worry since this was simple fire, which did minor pain to demons, but was harmless to her. So she simply waited for this body to burn up so she could end up back home.

But then she heard some shouts and a rogue voice shouting, which made her curious before she heard a SMASH near her!

She turned and saw a young boy with black hair wearing a white t-shirt stand up in front of her.

Now that WAS something unexpected!

'N-nani?!' She could only think.

"Come on! You need to get out of here!" yelled the boy.

"W-why are you here?!" She asked in disbelief.

"I saw you and came to rescue you! Now come on!" urged the boy pulling her to her feet.

Iblis didn't know how to respond and soon found the boy carrying her on his back while running past burning pieces that were falling down around them.

"W-wait, you baka!" She finally said as she noticed that her body was beginning to burn the boy, "You're also getting burned! Drop me!"

Rin though didn't listen as he ducked and weaved through burning parts of the mansion to try and save this girl.

Meanwhile Iblis couldn't understand WHY that boy was risking his life for her sake!

"Why...why are you doing this?!" She asked.

Rin grinned at her while continuing to run. "Because it's a man's duty to save cute girls."

Now Iblis couldn't help but blush in shock at what she heard because she never considered her vessels as beautiful.

She closed her eyes at seeing Rin keep towards the open window and was too nervous to open her eyes when she felt the wind.

She then saw that they were falling from the 4th floor!

But luckily for them, there were some firemen that had a humpback ready to soften their fall.

Rin got off first and helped Iblis get off as she was having a hard time trying to understand what just happened.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

Iblis shook out of her stupor and merely nodded.

Rin then smiled upon seeing that (which also made Iblis blush and glare), "That's good. By the way, I'm Rin Okumura."

"I'm Iblis." replied Iblis nodding at the boy who risked his life for her, which was pointless in her opinion. "So, why did you save me?" She asked, wanting to know.

"Like I said, you were in trouble and I had to save you." replied Rin like it was obvious.

She heard the answer, yet she couldn't believe that a boy would save her just because he could…

Granted, she knew it was silly since she wouldn't have died, but he still risked his own life for her own, regardless of getting himself hurt.

So in the end, she couldn't help but be touched by what Rin had done…

It was at that moment Rin turned and saw his father and sister rush over to see what happened.

"Nii-sama!" Yukio said before tackling him into the ground by her hug.

Shiro smiled at seeing Rin was alright as he was worried when he saw him run into that burning mansion, but noticed the girl he spotted Rin carrying out when he and Yukio were rushing over.

Suddenly Iblis felt her body begin to burn yet again.

'Oh no! I need to get out of here!' thought Iblis who didn't hesitate to turn around and began to run from the crowd.

Normally she wouldn't have cared if she burned in front of people because they would also end up burned. But for some reason, the idea of Rin seeing her like that...she didn't like it.

So she made sure she was out of sight and waited til her body burned up completely, returning her back home.

(End flashback)

Iblis had been blushing as the flashback began to end, which Beelzebub took notice of and couldn't resist the chance to tease her sister.

"Someone's thinking of Rin~!" sang Beelzebub.

"S-so what?!" She exclaimed while blushing.

Beelzebub grinned at her sister and couldn't help but remember when she first met him.

(Flashback)

Now we find ourselves at a park, where a young girl with long green hair, glasses on her face, wearing a white lab coat too big for her and a sailor uniform underneath was watching some bugs crawl around her.

This young girl was Beelzebub who had traveled to the human world after hearing that there were different bugs here than at home.

Right now she was watching the bugs with a sad look on her face as she remembered how several kids and even some adults laughed at her and called her weird just because she liked bugs.

To here, nothing was wrong with them. They were fascinating to her ever since she learned of them. But it also helped that she was the head demon in charge of insect demons, but that was beside the point.

But she was taken out of her thoughts as she felt somebody coming near her.

She looked up and saw a young boy with black hair wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts.

She was surprised upon seeing the boy near her before she narrowed her eyes, thinking that the boy would bully her for whatever reason he had…

"Hi there! My names Rin Okumura!" greeted the boy.

"I'm...Beelzebub..." She answered still cautious.

"Nice to meet you." smiled Rin holding his hand out.

"Yeah...nice to meet you..." She answered before looking at the bugs, hoping that he would go away.

Rin noticed her turn away and looked at where she was staring.

"Are those bugs?" He asked.

"Of course." replied Beelzebub.

Now Beelzebub was expecting the typical insults, but what she didn't expect was for Rin to say "Cool!"

That surprised her since the other kids thought they were gross.

"So, why do you like bugs?" asked Beelzebub.

"Because they look so cool!" Rin said with stars in his eyes .

Beelzebub was surprised again by his eager nature, but he slowly frowned.

"By the way, why are you all by yourself?" asked Rin.

Beelzebub flinched before she frowned and said, "I'm alone because...other people find me weird...just because I like insects..."

"Seriously?" He asked her, "But why?"

"Because I like bugs..." She answered.

"Well there's nothing wrong with that. If other kids won't hang out with you, I will." grinned Rin pointing a thumb to himself.

That answer surprised her a lot.

"Really?" asked Beelzebub.

"Of course!" Rin grinned.

Beelzebub smiled and had Rin sit next to her as she went over all the cool insects she had learned about.

And Rin, despite not understanding some things that she said, tried his best to tell her about what he knew from insects.

Soon the kids had spent the entire day and noticed it was getting dark.

"Well, it seems that we should get home now..." Beelzebub said.

"Yeah. Will I ever see you again?" asked Rin.

"Maybe not soon, but someday we'll see each other again..." She answered genuinely happy.

Rin nodded as Beelzebub surprised him by giving him a peck on the cheek before turning and heading away to open a portal to home.

Rin stood there frozen while blushing before he recovered and headed for his home, not aware that a bug was following him…

This bug would be Beelzebub's future spy to keep tabs on Rin.

(Flashback End)

"Are you two going to keep drooling over Rin?" asked Astaroth with a glare.

"HEY!" The two sisters yelled darkly.

"Honestly, you need to show Rin-chan more respect. Like me." grinned Azazel.

"Oh yeah? I can understand Rin but why you?" Frowned Astaroth.

"Because he once helped me understand again." smiled Azazel.

(Flashback)

Now we are in a church where a certain nun was praying.

This was a young girl with a nun outfit fit for her as she was on her knees and was praying to her father.

She was Azazel, one of the eight demon queens.

She had entered the human world as she felt doubt towards her father.

While at first she was loyal to him, she began to have doubts over the years as she saw not only how many demons were killed, but how some wanted peace alongside humans!

"Oh father, is this what you planned? And if it is, please show a sign to your own daughter." Azazel begged as she wiped away her tears.

It was then that Azazel heard someone coming over.

She looked and saw a young boy with black hair, white t-shirt, and a black shorts walk down the aisle and take notice of her.

"Oh my, what are you doing here little boy?" She asked genuinely surprised.

"I heard someone crying in here. Was that you?" asked the boy.

She froze up upon hearing that before nodding solemnly and answer, "Y-yes..."

"Why are you crying?" asked Rin with confusion.

Azazel wondered how she should answer the boy before her.

"Let's just say, I'm having doubts about believing." replied Azazel.

"Believing in what? In god?" Rin asked.

"Something like that." murmured Azazel in worry.

"Why don't you tell me about it?" He asked, surprising her.

Azazel was nervous about talking about her doubts, but if she worded it the right way, he wouldn't know who she's talking about.

"Well, I could tell you...but why you want to know?" She asked.

"Well, maybe I can help you restore your faith."

"But why?!" She asked in shock.

"Because, I learned that everyone should have something to believe in." grinned the boy.

That made her surprised before she smiled sincerely.

"So don't give up."

"Thank you..." She whispered.

The boy smiled and stood back up and began to move down the aisle.

"You're welcome!" The boy said happily, not knowing how his action would affect the future.

"Wait, what do I call you?" Azazel asked.

"Rin. Rin Okumura, Ms. Nun..." He introduced himself.

(Flashback end)

Azazel hugged her book to her chest while smiling about her brother.

Astaroth looked at her sister before sighing and remembering how she met Rin...

(Flashback)

We find a young Astaroth running down an alleyway from a few bigger kids.

The young demon, wearing a red raincoat and a red shirt with black shorts underneath, at first came into the human world to spend sometime away from the demons.

But she soon found herself bumping into a bunch of human kids who were not too fond of her. So she bolted as they began to give chase to her.

Normally she would have used her powers against them, yet she couldn't because there were not only many people around her, but if she unleashed her powers then some exorcist could find out about her.

So she had to try her best to try and lose them in the alleyways.

She growled as she felt those boys near her, 'Tsk, they are very persistent...'

Soon she turned a corner and found herself at a dead end.

"Shit!" She cursed as she turned to face the boys.

"Now we got ya." grinned the leader as the others closed in towards her.

Astaroth growled but before she could unleash her powers, a voice called everyone's attention. "HEY!"

All of them turned and saw a young boy with black hair, matching shorts, and white t-shirt stand at the entrance to the alley.

"Oh, it's just the freak." Said one of the boys as they all now sneered at the boy, surprising Astaroth.

"Leave her alone." ordered the boy.

"Or what, demon boy?" Laughed the lead bully as they all laughed at Rin, who growled as Astaroth was looking at the boy curiously.

'Demon boy?' thought Astaroth in confusion.

"Or I'LL BEAT ALL OF YOU!" Growled Rin, making some boys nervous and scared.

"Get the freak!" cried the leader as the rest of the boys rushed at the boy.

"WHY YOU-!" Snapped Rin as he began to fight back against the bullies in an apparent one sided fight.

Astaroth was stunned to see the boy fight like a wild beast as all the boys were on the ground except for the leader who backed away in fear.

"Y-y-you godDAMN FREAK!" Cried the bully in panic as Rin scoffed.

"I suggest you leave, or else." warned Rin's whose face seemed to look more scarier than before.

Said bully soon crapped his pants before he and the rest ran away as Astaroth watched how the boy's face, despite being bloodied and bruised, was similar to her father, Satan, when he was mad.

'Why does he look a lot like dad?' wondered Astaroth.

Then she saw the boy coming near her, making her get on guard.

"Hey, are you alright?" asked the boy with genuine concern.

The question totally surprised Astaroth, making her freeze up.

The boy waved his hand in front of her as she just stood frozen.

"Hey, can you listen?" He asked getting worried, making her snap out of her state.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine." replied Astaroth with an embarrassed blush on her face.

"Oh, thank goodness!" Grinned the boy.

Astaroth was confused on why this boy came out of nowhere and defended her.

"Anyway, why did you came to help me? I could've easily handled them..." She said.

"Well I just did what needed to be done." replied the boy with a shrug.

"Tsk...what would you want in exchange?" Growled the girl, thinking that the boy would demand something in favor.

"Nothing." replied the boy without hesitation.

"W-what?!" She stammered, not understanding why he would want to help her.

"Like I said, I want nothing from you." replied the boy with a smile.

Astaroth herself couldn't believe what she was hearing...but yet, for some reason...she felt as if she could trust him...

'Maybe...he's not so bad.' thought Astaroth with a smile.

"I...I guess so..." She finally said.

Seeing how everything was okay, the boy turned and began to make his way out of the alley.

"W-where are you going?" Astaroth asked curiously.

"I'm heading home. It's getting dark out, so you should probably do the same." advised the boy.

"Yeah...you're right." She said before asking, "What's your name?"

"Rin Okumura. Nice to meet you." smiled Rin at the girl.

"My name...is Astaroth..." She said back.

Rin smiled in return and made his way home while Astaroth made a portal to go home, all while remembering the boys name.

(Flashback End)

While Astaroth started to blush, Egyn started to as she remembered how her life was saved by her darling little brother.

(Flashback)

A young Egyn was doing a few laps in a small pond near a forest she had arrived in.

The young girl with long hair was only dressed in a school swimsuit, which made her look cute and beautiful if anyone saw her.

She had heard from her sisters that the human world had some good spots near water. Hearing this, she decided to take a visit and she was not dissatisfied.

Right now the demon queen of water was feeling at peace, just wishing to stay in the water and stop worrying about the humans, about the demons, about her father, about the war, about everything...

But she soon felt her body being pooled out of the small pond she had been swimming at and into a river.

'N-no!' She thought as she tried to resist the current, yet she was caught off guard and thus she was soon drawn into the river!

She was use to calm rapids, but these were far more dangerous than she had trained in, resulting in her being pulled by ease.

She soon realized that, at this rate, she wouldn't be able to make it back to land!

"Hang on!" yelled a voice as she saw a boy running near the river as she floated downstream.

The boy had black hair and wore only a pair of swimming shorts with blue color.

He ran as fast as he could towards a downed tree to try and save the young girl.

Luckily he managed to get near Egyn from the branch and managed to catch her by holding her arm.

"Don't let go." warned the boy as he gripped her hands and began to pull her up from the water.

Egyn just did as told and keep a strong hold on the boy as he kept pushing up until finally, he managed to get her out of the water.

The boy helped her make it to land by balancing on the tree and made it to the mainland.

"Phew, that was close...so are you OK?" Asked the boy after catching his breath.

Egyn merely nodded as she was amazed to still be alive.

Then she turned to her savior...and lost words at who she saw…

'Wh-Who?' thought Egyn with a blush on her face.

"Umm...are you alright?" The boy asked worried after a few minutes of silence.

Egyn snapped out of her daydream and blushed even harder while looking away.

"Y-yes..." She managed to answer in a whisper.

"That's good to hear." smiled the boy.

Egyn just looked away as she blushed harder.

The boy made sure they were alright before asking, "You injured anywhere?"

"N-no..." She said.

"Good to hear." grinned the boy.

Egyn wondered how she could feel like that for a mere human.

'But...he risked his life to save...me.' thought Egyn who was blushing yet again as she tried to focus on asking for the boy's name.

"W-what's your name?" She asked shyly.

"I'm Rin Okumura." grinned Rin.

Egyn just thought then the name of her savior like a mantra in her mind before she managed to answer "E-e-egyn..."

"Hmm?" responded Rin.

"I-is something wrong?" Egyn asked while panicking in her mind, remembering that humans were selfish creat-

"No, just never heard of a name like that. It's cute." smiled Rin.

-WAIT! W-WH-WHA-WHA-WHAT?! WHAT DID HE S-SAY?!

"E-Ehh?!" That was all she could say and think after hearing that as her face now resembled a tomato.

"Yeah, it suits you." smiled Rin who had his eyes closed and therefore did not see Egyn's face.

Egyn stood there frozen...before she fainted, her mind unable to process how a human boy was able to get to her like that.

Rin started to panic at seeing Egyn faint and picked her up bridal style and began to head back home for her to get some rest.

Soon Rin made it to his home and quickly put Egyn on his bed as he tried to see what was wrong with her.

He tried checking her head for a fever, but she felt fine.

"Oh man, what should I do?!" Panicked the boy.

Luckily his father Shiro was home and heard his son's voice.

"Hey Rin, is that you?" Shiro asked as he went to his son's room. "Weren't you supposed to go swimming near the forest?"

"In here dad!" called Rin.

Shiro soon went to his son's room but froze up when he saw Egyn on the bed.

To the untrained eye, she was a normal girl, but to anyone who's done their research, she was the demon queen of water.

"Old man, is she alright?" Rin's question brought him out of his thoughts.

"Yes, but I think we need to get her home as soon as possible." replied Shiro who wanted the demon queen of water away from Rin as soon as possible.

"But we don't know where she lives..." Rin pointed out. "Why don't we wait until she wakes up so that we can ask her?"

Shiro didn't want to give the queen of water the chance, so he relented and nodded his head.

But then Yukio, who was dressed in a cute yellow sundress, arrived at Rin's room after hearing her father's voice.

"Nii-sama!" cheered Yukio who glomped onto her brother and noticed the unconscious girl. "Who is she?" Yukio asked as a dark look appeared on her face, making Shiro panic a bit since she looked like her mother when mad.

"Egyn. I found her when she nearly drowned in the stream." replied Rin.

Yukio was surprised upon hearing that before she calmed herself down, accepting what her brother said as Shiro sighed in relief.

"Well, we'll let her crash the night, then we'll take her home." said Shiro.

"But where she will sleep?" Rin asked.

"Well, maybe she could bunk with you or Yukio." suggested Shiro.

Both of them froze up before screaming" WHAAAAAAAAAT?!"

Shiro rubbed his ears before speaking. "So, who's it gonna be?

Rin was thinking if he could let Egyn sleep in his bed while Yukio was thinking on how to...take care of the girl that could potentially harm her brother.

Shiro himself was surprised to see both of them raise their hands to offer their room.

"I'LL DO IT!" They both said at the same time.

Both of them looked at each other with surprised expressions.

Then Yukio smiled...a bit TOO sweet, "Please Nii-sama, allow me to take Egyn-san to my room. After all, we're both girls..."

Rin shivered from the tone of his sister and merely nodded his head. "Fine, but I'll sleep with you two as well! After all you and her are my responsibility." Rin said, not knowing the double meaning of his words.

That made Yukio blush and smile.

Meanwhile, Shiro couldn't help but feel proud of his adopted child before a perverted expression appeared on his face at the idea of Rin getting his own harem and making all perverts proud!

Later that night, we find Egyn slowly waking up, and noticed someone next to her, two someones!

The first someone was Rin, the boy who saved her, and the second one was a brown haired girl.

Though she felt something off from both of them.

'Their aura...feels kinda like father...b-but how?!' She thought in surprise.

She noticed Rin drape an arm over her while sleeping.

'R-rin's arm is on m-my body! W-what should I do?!' She thought while blushing.

But she also took notice of Yukio's arm reach towards the lamp, even though she was still sleeping.

Immediately Egyn felt that the girl in front of her could be dangerous by some strange reason.

'She reminds me of father.' thought the demon queen.

But then she heard some familiar voices and soon saw the door of the room she was in open, from which an exorcist with white hair went inside followed by...MEPHISTO?!

'What's Mephisto doing here?' wondered Egyn who pretended she was still asleep.

But then the mentioned demon began to speak, "Please Egyn-chan, I know you're awake~!"

Seeing how she was caught, she sighed and sat up, being careful not to wake the two beside her.

"Ano, what are you doing here Ne-Nii-san?!" She almost slipped out Mephisto's secret.

"I came here to take you home." replied Mephisto.

"A-alright..." Egyn answered but before she left, she went to Rin's sleeping form and kissed his cheek before retreating as Mephisto and Shiro laughed.

(End Flashback)

Just remembering that memory made Egyn blush violently.

Lucifer noticed and idly wondered why her sisters were blushing so much.

'Maybe they're thinking of Rin...' she thought.

That caused her to remember the very first time she ever saw her cute little brother.

(Flashback)

Lucifer sighed as Mephisto had somehow convinced her of going to see the old exorcist known as Shiro in her place instead.

"Last time I make a bet with her." sighed the queen of light as she wore a smaller version of the uniform she would wear years later.

Soon she arrived at the church where she saw a certain white haired exorcist.

"Shiro." nodded Lucifer in greeting.

"Lucifer?" Shiro said surprised. "I thought Mephisto was the one coming out..."

"She tricked me into taking her place." sighed the queen as they headed inside.

"How?" Shiro asked curious.

"Rock paper scissors." replied Lucifer.

Shiro looked at her surprised before nodding, knowing how Mephisto was like.

"Well then, shall we get this meeting started?" asked Shiro as they made their way to a table.

Lucifer nodded as they took their seats.

Both of them made sure they were properly seated before Shiro began.

But then some sounds were heard before Rin and Yukio appeared!

"You're it!" cheered Yukio chasing after her brother.

"Why you!" Rin laughed as he went to chase his sister.

Shiro stood up to stop them, but they barreled right past him and caused him to trip.

Lucifer couldn't help but sweatdrop at the sight before her, which reminded her of her sisters doing the same in their younger days.

"Rin! Yukio!" yelled Shiro standing up.

Both children comically panicked before they ran with Shiro following them.

Lucifer could only watch with a sweatdrop as the two managed to keep out of reach of Shiro.

'How did I get involved in this mess again?' She thought.

Finally, Shiro managed to get both his kids by the scruff of the back of their necks.

"Now what is going on here?!" Shiro growled, making both children flinch.

"We were just playing tag, Tou-san." replied Yukio.

"Yeah! No need to be so mad about it, old man!" Rin said next.

Shiro frowned and began to grind his fist into Rin's head for his disrespect while Lucifer had enough and coughed to get their attention.

"As amusing this little show is..." She began, "Shouldn't we get on business, Shiro?"

"You're right. You two run along now." ordered Shiro.

Both children pouted before nodding and following orders.

Shiro sat back down to continue the meeting with Lucifer.

"Sorry about that...but you know how children are like..."

Lucifer nodded.

Thus they began the meeting.

"So, how are those two these past few years?" asked Lucifer.

"From what you saw a few minutes ago, they have lived fine." The exorcist said.

"Good. Any abilities shown so far?"

Shiro shaked his head, telling her his answer.

"I see." replied Lucifer. "So then, why did a demon make contact with Yukio?" Lucifer asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I'm looking into as soon as possible."

Lucifer frowned upon hearing that, "So is Yukio training into exorcism right now?"

"Yes, she seems very eager to join." replied Shiro.

"Why?" The demon queen asked surprised, because after all the training was very tough.

"I think she wants to protect Rin." smiled Shiro.

'Him again...' Lucifer thought, curious about her half sibling.

"Any news on Rin?" asked Lucifer.

"Not so much..."

Lucifer frowned as she was suppose to let her father know if his son began to show his use of blue flames.

"Nothing about him unleashing blue flames?" She asked.

"Nope, nothing abnormal aside from a demonic temperament when younger..." Shiro said as he winced how he managed to calm Rin after the latter had a rampage in the pre school he had attended...at the cost of having his "special part" punched...but at least he saw a hot nurse~!

Lucifer knew that was merely him being young and didn't suspect anything abnormal.

Although she had to sweatdrop when she saw Shiro having a glassed perverted look on his face, meaning that he was probably fantasizing about some woman.

"Well, if nothing else, than this meeting is over." said Lucifer.

That made Shiro return back to normal.

But it was at that moment Rin came chasing into the room with Yukio following.

"WHAT THE DEUCE?!" Shiro yelled.

"Catch me!" laughed Rin dodging Yukio.

"As you wish, Nii-chan!" She answered as they continued their game.

Lucifer sighed and waited till they were close before picking up Rin.

"Hey!" Rin said as he was picked up.

"You need to learn discipline." said Lucifer holding him up so he looked her in the eyes.

"No chance!" Rin grinned as he managed to get off her grip.

Lucifer tried to grab him again, but this time, he managed to duck under her hand and somehow managed to climb onto her back.

"H-how did he-?!" Lucifer gasped.

"You know, you need to relax." grinned Rin who poked her in the sides and caused her to stiffen up and begin to feel her growing into a smile as she could feel herself slowly starting to chuckle.

'Must...not...laugh...' Lucifer thought.

Sadly though, Yukio joined in and her face was becoming blue from her resistance to the torture.

'I...won't...lose...' She barely thought.

But her will was only strong enough before she opened her mouth and let her laughter out.

Soon both children and Shiro also joined in with their own laughs.

Lucifer tried to get back to her neutral expression, but Rin made a comment that got her attention.

"You know, you have a pretty smile."

"W-what?!" She said as a very small blush formed on her face.

"If you tried to lighten up, you could smile a lot more." replied Rin.

"You..." She looked away as the blush on her face became bigger.

She managed to say goodbye to the family as she quickly made it home as she felt over her heart and found it beating fast.

'W-what's...happening to me...?' She wondered.

She tried to calm herself down and walked through the portal as she took one more glance at the house before heading home.

(Flashback End)

Mephisto noticed Lucifer now start to blush and knew who was on all their minds.

'Fu fu...just look how you got us, Rin...' Mephisto thought.

Seeing all her sisters flustered about Rin wasn't surprising for her as she had first hand experience like the rest of them.

That reminded her of when she ended falling for him as well...

(Flashback)

Now we find a younger Mephisto reading the latest edition of her favorite manga near a manga stand.

"Ha! I knew he would win!" grinned Mephisto.

Needless to say, Mephisto loved the ending she saw from that manga.

While she was finishing up this manga, she took notice of a young boy reading next to her.

She got curious about the boy and what he was reading, so she peeked to see which mange he was reading.

Said manga was Gurren Lagaan, and the boy was smiling at seeing the crew vacation at the beach, showing the girls in their bikinis.

She noticed that the boy had a fair blush on his face, making her smirk.

"Oh~! First time seeing a girl in a bikini~!" teased Mephisto.

The boy flinched before blushing and glaring at her. "N-no!"

"Oh? So you've seen them before?" grinned Mephisto.

"Yeah." He answered.

"My, so young and yet so echi~!" grinned Mephisto.

"I-It's not like that!" He blushed as Mephisto got a good look at him.

'Hmm, not bad.' she thought as he was a little shorter than her with black hair, gray hoodie, with blue pants.

But she felt that he was...familiar somehow.

"By the way, what's your name?" she asked.

"Rin Okumura, and yours?" Rin asked as he saw the girl in front of him, who looked around his age and wore a white jacket, white pants and a white hat.

"Mephisto Pheles, at your service." grinned the girl doing a mock bow in front of him.

"Weird name for a guy..." Rin said.

That caused her eye to twitch before she started rubbing her knuckles against his head. "I'm girl!"

"EH?!" Rin then apologized, "Sorry, but with your clothes..."

"No excuses!" she replied as this time she began wrap his head in her arms in a headlock.

"S-sorry! Please stop already!" Rin cried out.

Mephisto noticed she had his head pressed against her chest and felt her teasing nature come out.

"See? These are proof that I'm a girl~!" She said while pressing Rin's head towards her chest as the boy blushed.

'Soft...' thought Rin.

Rin soon reacted and backed out with his blush getting bigger!

"So, how did it feel~?" asked Mephisto with a grin.

"S-shut up!" He said back.

Mephisto grinned even wider at seeing Rin's blushing face and couldn't help but pick him up and hold him to her chest, like a teddy bear.

"Aww! You're sooo cute~!" She cried.

Rin's face seemed like a tomato at this point and tried to get out of her grip.

"L-let me go!" He cried.

"But I don't wanna~!" smiled Mephisto with a Cheshire grin.

"Help!" Rin cried out in panic!

That's when a girl noticed what was happening, as this was Yukio.

"Nii-sama!" She cried as she went for him.

Rin was glad to see Yukio as she stopped and glared at Mephisto.

"W-what are you doing with Nii-sama?!" Yukio asked panicked.

"Oh? This is your Nii-sama? He's so cute." grinned Mephisto.

"C-cute?!" Yukio gasped while inwardly she agreed with what Mephisto said.

"Y-Yukio!" cried Rin who was still being hugged to Mephisto's chest.

"Please let my Nii-sama go!" Yukio begged.

Mephisto thought about it before grinning. "Nope~!"

Yukio's eyes then narrowed, "If you don't let him go..."

Mephisto looked at Yukio as her eyes seemed to glow darker while she herself narrowed her eyes. "Alright then~! No need to be so possessive of him~!" She sang, letting Rin go and making Yukio blush.

Rin sighed at being freed and noticed Mephisto walk away with a smile on her face. "Where are you going?" He asked her.

"Home. Besides, I don't want to bother the young couple~!" smiled Mephisto meaning Rin and Yukio.

"EH?!" Both young children blushed A LOT! "BUT HE'S/SHE'S MY SIBLING!"

Mephisto merely smiled even wider and disappeared from their vision after turning around the next corner.

"T-That lady!" Rin growled as Yukio was blushing, "T-thinking of us as a-a couple! It's not like that! Right Yukio? ...Yukio?"

Yukio was busy thinking of what Mephisto said about her and Rin. 'A couple...a couple...a couple...with Nii-sama...' Yukio thought as she blushed. That caused her to nearly faint from the blush she had on her face.

Meanwhile, Mephisto watched from afar the siblings' reactions with a smile on her face.

'Wonder if I'll see them again.' she thought before disappearing through a portal home.

(Flashback End)

'Fu fu fu...what an interesting moment...~' She thought.

After seeing the memories of all the sisters, we find ourselves with Bon and the others in search of someone to fix Rin's blade.

"So, where did this lady blacksmith lives again?" Shima asked as he panted.

"Around this area. We should be finding her real soon." replied Bon as they kept walking.

'The sooner we find her, the sooner we'll be able to fix Nii-sama's sword...' Yukio thought.

She wasn't a fan of leaving Rin alone with Mephisto, but she needed to trust her and keep an eye on the others while on this journey.

Soon they made it to the cabin where the girl was located in.

As they walked closer, they spotted a girl near the cabin who must have been the one they were looking for.

"Excuse me, are you Yoshikuni XI?" Yukio asked to the girl.

"Why yes I am. And you are?" replied Yoshikuni.

"We are exorcists from True Cross Academy, and we need your help." Bon said straight to the point.

She looked at them that basically asked what they needed her help for.

"It's about this..." Bon then showed the broken Kuripaka as her eyes widened.

She fingered the blade and turned to Bon. "I'm familiar with this blade. My family helped fashion it years ago."

"So will you be able to fix it?" Izumo asked.

"Yes, but I'll need a day or so." she replied holding the blade and heading back to her cabin.

"Please do the best you can..." Yukio pleaded.
