The eight demon queens

chapter 18

xxxxxxxxxxxx

FLOSH!

Fire was sent flying at a dummy while looking like a mess of heat and almost like a pretzel.

Rin smirked while keeping the stream up before looking at the nearby manga which showed Ace forming a huge sphere of flames. He cut the stream off and held his hands up before slowly gathering flames.

He then released it, but…

Fiss.

It looked like a small matchstick in size which went out.

He let out a groan and sat down in a nearby chair. "Come on, I can fire my satan slash and project fire out no problem, but making a big fireball? How's that hard to do?"

"It takes practice." Spoke Iblis from behind him as she gave him a hug. "And lots of excess heat~"

He blushed from the move. "Uh, hey there, when did you come in?"

"Just now." She chuckled. "And I saw your fireball and it looked tiny. Like a billiard ball."

He frowned and looked down while she took a seat next to him.

"So, how far have you gotten with all this training?"

"Well, I'm stronger, faster, and a little tougher, but this fire training is tough. Like really tough."

"How so?"

"Well, it's like projecting fire is no problem, but if I try to say, like hold it together and shape it, it's like trying to wrestle with clay that's fighting back. It keeps slipping from my grasp."

Iblis blinked. "That's it? Making it mold to your will? Ha! That's child's play for me." she made a ball of fire in her left hand and turned it into a mini Rin. "Especially after many years of fighting fire demons."

"Sure, rub it in." he sweatdropped.

The mini Rin waved at Rin before vanishing. "I'm not bragging, I'm just explaining why I'm good at my powers. So just take a chill pill."

"I am chill." he sighed while she grabbed the manga and looked at it.

"Hmm, well, maybe it's just a matter of how you tap into your powers."

"Like how?"

"Well, I'll show you." She said while getting up. "Just watch the master." she held a finger up before flames appeared and began to gather to slowly form into a sphere that expanded.

Rin's eyes widened seeing that.

She smirked seeing that before making it bigger. "See you're half demon, meaning your human half is probably making it a little tricky for you. If you wanna try and use fire in other shapes then just head on streams or that slash move, try digging deep down inside and feel your demon half. Let it help you feel the flames and slowly mold them to your choice, but be careful, if you're not then you might end up like me and lose your whole body."

'No pressure.' Rinko smirked. 'No pressure.'

"You sure? Can't I just do what they do in the manga and just use a lot of willpower?" he sweatdropped.

"If that was the case then I would've kept my first body." She sweatdropped. "But nope. You need to let your other half help you."

'If only she knew how big of a bad idea that was.'

'But she won't.'

'You're annoying.'

'I love you too.'

"Now hurry up! I'm feeling pretty damn warm here, unless you wanna wait and see my clothes burn off for a little peep show."

Rin blushed red before closing his eyes.

Rinko rolled her eyes before thinking of a funny prank. 'Hey, I'll give you it, but your next dream is mine to command.'

'You'd do that anyway.'

'I know~' she giggled before causing some power to course through her host.

He felt the sudden rush and saw his flames slowly grow while feeling his teeth get sharper and his tail swish. "Ok, I'm starting to feel something."

"Now think about a object. Anything will do."

Rin thought about something as the flames started to flicker and shift in his hands. He held his hands out while a ball started to slowly form.

"Alright, see how much you can add to it before it gets too unstable. If you know the limit then you can plan ahead in a quick battle." Iblis said while her flames started licking on her pants. "Also, don't overthink it, try making it simple at first then move towards the more elaborate shapes."

'That's kind of true you know.'

He gripped it and pulled his arm back before chucking it at one of the targets.

BOOM!

Which exploded into a few hundred pieces.

Iblis looked at the remains and chuckled a little. "Not bad, not bad. Now try to see if you can make something else."

Rin tried again before the fire started to form another fire ball, which slowly started to take a different shape entirely. That shape being a small katana. 'Come on, focus! Focus!'

"Just keep your focus."

"I'm trying!" He groaned while the blade started to get longer.

'This would call for a funny innuendo but Rin-kun needs support, not jokes.' Iblis thought.

He gritted his teeth as the shape got a few inches bigger before it dispersed.

"Almost, but it's a start." She smiled. "So try again, like now."

"Alright, I can do that." He said before trying again.

Iblis watched on while feeling very proud that she's helping her brother. 'You're going to be an excellent fire demon, and perfect husband.'

Rin narrowed his eyes as he tried forming the fire into a small dagger, and this time it held together.

'Keep it up, and don't think about compensation.' Rinko said while a tease.

'N-Not helping!' he thought while trying to make a second dagger, and managing it. "Ok, if I keep it small enough it sticks together."

"Well, yes. But for the bigger constructs its very different." she said in a sagely tone. "You have to use the notion that it needs more concentration than mass. Meaning you need less mass to control your powers."

"...huh?"

"The bigger the construct, the less mass is needed to maintain it. The smaller the construct, the more mass is needed."

"...oh, I get it. I think?"

"Just try to do more stuff from manga." she sweatdropped.

Rin sighed before trying something from the manga, but it was harder to figure out a very good one out of all of the attacks. He found one of Ace firing a cross made of flames and tried making the same stance. 'Wonder if I can do it without my sword.'

'Then try it. It won't be a problem for you.' Rinko smirked as Rin got into position.

He pointed his finger out while concentrating. The flames slowly focused around the points while he tried to imagine firing a cross of his flames straight out.

Iblis blinked as she saw the flames starting to form a cross, but it was getting bigger until it was big as his arm. 'Wow, that's much bigger then in that manga.'

"Satan….CROSS!"

The fire cross went flying as it hit a dummy.

Fiss.

"Hu-"

KABOOOOM!

The dummy exploded after a second delay as the parts went in every direction.

"Wooh! Way to go Rin!"

'I have to admit, that was badass.' Rinko smirked as Iblis gave Rin a hug.

He blushed as he felt the chest pressing into his face. And the fact he felt a little more into his demon side, he didn't push her away, but he did notice her clothes burning off faster.

"You did a great job!" She smiled before her clothes burned off, revealing her black bra, lingerie and stockings.

"I-Iblis-chan!" he got out with wide eyes.

"Yes?" She asked while not noticing her half naked appearance.

"Y-You're half naked!"

She blinked and jumped seeing her appearance. "Woah! I didn't even notice."

'Wow, I didn't expect the stockings. Mmm, this might be fun for the old dream center.' Rinko muttered with a slight chuckle.

Iblis posed a little. "But since you're here, does this look good on me?"

He stared with a blush while his tail swished faster without knowing.

"Aw, how cute." She smiled as she winked at Rin. 'Especially with his tail.'

He gulped while seeing her move closer and wrap her arms around his neck while rubbing against him. "I-I-Iblis-chan?!"

She moved her body over him while occasionally licking her lips. "Don't worry Rin-kun, I won't bite much~"

He went wide eyed as she leaned down before she got yanked up and saw it was Lucifer who didn't look happy.

"What. Are. You. Doing?!"

Iblis paled. "Um….well…"

"S-S-She was just helping me work on my moves!"

Lucifer frowned before glaring at Iblis. "You and me, outside. NOW."

"But I'm almost naked." She said before seeing the evil glare hitting her and squeaked in fear. "Uh, then again, I can get some new clothes after we're done."

"Good answer." Lucifer said before walking out of the room. "And Rin, if I catch either of you naked, I'll make you train in the freezing cold of winter. On Mount Fuji!"

"Y-Yes ma'am!" He cried out in fear as Lucifer closed the door, and heard the cries of pain from Iblis. 'Oh sweet god!'

'This is better than reality tv.'

'I hope she doesn't up the training course.'

'Judging on her anger, she will.'

Rin groaned at that.

(Egyn's room)

Inside the room, the queen of water was busy trying to practice her abilities. And the power for today was the use of manipulating water within a living creature, hence the tiny bunny rabbit on her bed.

She held her hand up and made the rabbit stand before closing her hand while it went on all fours. She then tried again as she moved her fingers to make the ears twitch. 'This seems almost easy, but I feel bad for the bunny.'

Said animal twitched its nose as she made it lay down and then started making it hop backwards.

Egyn looked at the bunny before making it do a backflip.

Crack!

The bunny dropped to the floor as it's neck was broken on accident.

Her eye's widened while placing her hands over her mouth. "Oh no, I...I accidentally killed it." she looked over the bunny while trying to figure out what to do. "Um...maybe I could bury it? But where?"

Knock knock

Egyn paled while trying to stay calm. "W-Who is it?"

"It's me Beelzebub."

"Um, I'm not decent." She called out.

"Well just let me in, after all we've seen each other naked as children." She said as Yuyuko buzzed next to her.

'Mistress, maybe we should just leave. Wait...I smell something tasty in there.'

"What's that?"

'Recently dead bunny. My favorite.'

Egyn ran around the room looking for a place to hide the bunny. "J-Just give me a second!"

Beelzebub shook her head at this while Egyn threw a pillow over the bunny and sat behind it.

"Um c-come in!" 'Please don't see the bunny behind the pillow!'

Her sister opened the door and looked in at her sister. "Wow, you get dressed fast."

"T-Thanks." She said while seeing Yuyuko flying towards the pillow. 'Oh father!'

'Mistress, can I have the bunny? Please?'

"Yuyuko what bunny are you talking about?"

'The one under the pillow.' She said before seeing Egyn laying on her side. 'Um….is she acting normally mistress?'

"Bunny? What bunny? I don't know any dead bunny ha ha ha."

Beelzebub frowned. "Egyn, where is it?"

"Um….where is what?" She sweated as the pillow started to get stained with blood.

'Found it!' Yuyuko yelled out before dive bombing into the pillow. She wriggled around under it while spotting the body. 'Oh my! It's so...tasty!' she then dragged it out while Egyn tried to grab the bunny back. 'Mistress, please can I eat it?'

Beelzebub frowned at Egyn. "Egyn, why did you lie to me?"

"..." she gulped. "Um…..well…"

"Egyn."

"It was an accident!" She cried out. "I was practicing my powers and I broke its neck! Oh father, what am I going to do?! What will Rin-kun think of me once he finds out?!"

"Egyn! Calm down, it was an accident, and it was just one rabbit."

She shivered. "But I didn't mean it."

"I know, but you need to calm down. Getting stressed over this will make you paranoid." she replied while Yuyuko moved over it. "Besides, it's not like you killed a human, did you?"

"Well...I guess you're right."

'Mistress, please let me eat this bunny. I'm really hungry.'

"Fine, just do it already."

She nodded before flying away with the bunny.

Beelzebub shook her head while Egyn looked at her bloody pillow and sheets.

"Looks like I have to do the laundry, again." She sweatdropped.

"With you it takes less than five minutes."

Egyn facepalmed before making the blood flow out of the sheets and into a ball. 'Almost forgot.'

"But what were you doing practicing? Aren't you well versed enough as is?"

"Well, I just wanted to practice more." She sighed. "After all, we can't just stop after a few thousands years of training."

"Well you should already know how to manipulate liquids inside a person, right?"

She looked away. "Not exactly."

The queen of insects raised an eyebrow.

"But enough about that, I need to get ready for tomorrow's test."

"But you don't have-" she said before getting pushed out the door. "Hey!"

"Sorry but I need to study!" She said before slamming the door. She sighed before thinking. 'I better find another animal to practice on...wait.' she opened the door. "Sorry, but can you help me with something? Please?"

"I don't know, are you gonna push me out the window next?"

Egyn shook her head no.

"Well what is it?"

She moved her hands up before causing Beelzebub's body to stiffen and caused her to dance a little.

"Huh? Hey what's going on?"

"I wanna see how much of a pull I have on someone bigger than an animal." She said before causing her sister to break dance.

"Ah! Hey, I don't move like that!"

"But you look so cool right now, especially breakdancing like a pro." She smiled while making her do a yoga position.

"Not funny! My body wasn't meant to bend this way!" She yelled out as Yuyuko flew back in just as she did a impossible spine twist.

'Mistress, I'm….um….what's going on?'

"Ah! My back!" she groaned while holding herself up with all limbs, but her back arched.

Egyn smirked a little evilly while Yuyuko just flew slowly away. 'This is quite fun.'

'Um….later mistress.'

"Get back her Yuyu-GAH! My back!"

"Don't worry sister, just a few more minutes."

"Gah!" 'I'll get you for this sister!'

(With Azazel)

"Ok, I need the blood of a kraken, the eye of a cat that lived over the normal lifeline, the heart of a sinner that glows in the moonlight, and the hair of an Asura." she muttered looking over the list. 'Hmm, if I'm too harsh for the first one, Egyn might get really upset and be onto what's going on.' she then thought about the second item. 'And trying anything on that nekomata Rin-kun owns might be harsh, and might make him very mad.'

She pointed at the third one and smiled. 'This one should be a good start.' she then looked at the list again. "But I need to find out when it's a full moon, for theatrics."

(A little later)

A woman was busy walking down a dark alleyway as the moon shone down an illuminated the area a little. She was taking a swig from a bottle and sighed while looking a little flushed. "He he, this is so cool. The sky is pink hic."

As the woman looked at the sky, she didn't notice a figure walking behind her from the shadows.

"I need another hic, one." she smirked before blinking as she felt something near her and moved, but went wide eyed feeling like something just went through her.

"Mmm, a sinners heart that glows in the moonlight." Spoke a voice from behind. "Well I don't see anything glowing but it is as black as night."

"Ah...ah...hic…" the woman spoke before feeling like something was yanked before falling forward on her face as she began bleeding out from the hole.

"One down." Spoke the figure while grinning. "Three to go."

Babum, babum, babum.

(Elsewhere)

-Outside Rome, abandoned warehouse-

Four figures were standing, but if you looked closer you could see each of them restrained to the floor with chains.

One looked like a woman with long black hair, a bandage around her eyes, a D cup chest and tiny ass, and looked like her body was covered in stone in some places like her knees and neck.

Another looked like a tall and burly man who had a monotone look with bags under his eyes while wearing a black mask that covered his whole mouth.

The next one was a woman with short red hair, very tanned skin, with black tattoos all over her body, with a F cup chest and massive ass. If you look carefully you could see that some of the chains were being absorbed into her body.

The final one was a man who had short brown hair while smiling with his eyes squinted to where they seemed closed, but if you got in close they were open and they seemed empty and dark.

Each of them wearing white restraining jackets with a number thirteen on their left arms and the name Judas spawn in Latin was on their chests.

The place was empty before a loud sound was made due to the door slowly opening.

They looked up to see who would dare visit them in their prison of chains and darkness. When they saw Arthur and several exorcists move over it made the burly man make a small hum while the other one smiled wider and the first girl turn her head around.

"Who is there? Exorcist or demon?"

"Exorcist." spoke Arthur stopping and frowning harder. "I am Arthur Angel from the True Cross Order."

"Oh happy days! See guys, I told you they'd come." chuckled the second man.

"No you didn't, you kept saying how much they'd rue the day they put you here." spoke the first girl.

"Lies!"

"What are you here for?" Asked the second girl with a dark tone. "Oh, let me guess, another holy water bath."

The first man gave a hum while not moving much or even looking Arthur in the eye.

"You smell nice." The first girl spoke. "Almost….living." 'Ugh, I hate living flesh.'

"If I knew we'd have guests I would have made some tea." smiled the second man. "Let me guess, you came here to have your way with these lovely ladies? Go ahead! They've been saying how big fans they are of you."

"Screw you." Both girls frowned at once while Arthur and the men didn't answer.

"Asidem Perseus, Prometha Titania, settle down." he frowned. "I've come here for you four on the orders of the head of the True Cross Order for an important mission."

"What? Oh I know! We storm heaven for fallen angels right?"

"No."

"Aw fuck it all!"

The first man made a hum while tugging on the chains briefly.

"What is the mission then?" Asked the second man with a bored look on his face. "And is it dangerous?"

"You four will be used to deal with two half demons he is getting irked by."

"Really, which king?"

"Satan."

They blinked before smirking evilly with the first man going wide eyed and letting out a muffled growl while squirming in his binds which made the exorcist escort quickly pull out their weapons.

"You have peaked our interests." Asidem smirked. "After all, he did make us into your Judas spawns."

"Except you did more horrendous things after he did that….trickery to you." Arthur said while on edge.

"Details details." mocked Prometha.

"It was nothing short but perfection." smiled the second male. "You were just jealous of what we could do."

"Loki Azalea Tsakalof. Enough with your silver tongue." Spoke Arthur with a frown. "You know the punishment for your acts and this simple mission will pardon you of them, if that's possible."

The first man growled and slowly calmed down, albeit while some of the chains looking a little loose.

"Now if you swear on the lord's name and the oath of the True Order, the one you broke long ago, I shall let you be free. However with one restriction, you shall not kill the innocents." Arthur looked at the first man. "That includes you Ravana la Sita."

He hummed while the exorcist escorts moved around them.

"Well you can't trust me, I never broke it once." smiled Loki.

"Yeah, like the time you took that man's pants and placed nails in them." Spoke Prometha while Asudem chuckled slightly at the memory.

"What? Me, why I never-"

"QUIET!" scowled Arthur. "Either accept these conditions or you can spend your days here rotting."

They looked at each other before grinning.

"You got yourself a deal." Asudem smirked. "But we have two conditions. One, you get this blindfold off! Second, we do things our way, meaning no bodyguards."

"Especially big chested guards." Frowned Prometha. "They're very stupid and daffy."

"Very well, then you can rot here." he turned away. "Let's go men."

They turned around as Loki yelled out.

"Ok ok! We'll NOT do it!" he spoke up. "These three will even offer their bodies to make it official!"

"Hey/Mmm!" They yelled and or muffled out loud as Arthur and his men turned around.

"Say the oath, or we leave."

They grumbled before saying. "Servite Domino sublevabitur tueri ac servare in exitium sui daemonum. Amen." (To protect and serve the lord on high, and save humanity from the ruination of demons and their master. Amen.)

"Better. Men, release them, but make sure to apply 'those'."

They nodded before carefully moving towards the prisoners, who were grumbling a little at saying that oath. That's when each of them got a necklace around their necks before the chains were cut away.

Prometha stretched her arms and legs while some of the chains were corroded away as her skin dripped a clay like substance. "Ah much better!"

"Yes." Asudem said while her arms cracked and flaked some stone chips. "But would someone take this blindfold off?"

"You'll lose it ONLY when you are given the order to go after the demon spawns, not before."

"Fine." She huffed. "But I need a cane. Or something sharp."

Ravana and Loki stretched a little while the former looked at his mask with annoyance.

"That's not better."

"Just come with, and don't try anything or those necklaces will render you unconscious."

They frowned at that before following Arthur and his men, all the while Ausdem was stumbling a little with her wobbly legs.

'If these monsters can't kill those two, then I can only hope we can keep them at bay.' Arthur thought before recalling the name of the group, The Dolorous Stroke. 'Hopefully.'
