[INSPIRE BY Seraphim 0]
After the Hole War of Lucifer & God, the winning side, lead by the firstborn angel, Michael, was able to remain in heaven, while the rest were stripped of their wings and sentenced to hell, a prison made for the angels that dared stray from the path of light. In Gehenna, the once mighty Archangel prepared for his revenge, building his kingdom with the help of a Swan and strengthening his army with his sons. His sons, the generals and second in command of the Netherworld, did whatever their father had ordered of them, but there was one thing that some of them could not bare. And that was losing their queen. "One day, my loves... we will be reunited. I swear off it." When that woman died, leaving behind her many children with Satan and the Ba'al, she tore a bigger rip into their family tree. Now, countless of eons later, in the year 2014, the unfinished show will finally continue, but this time, it will be for keeps. Who will win in the end?

"He's fine, but whatever it was that he pick up is still trap behind all the rocks, " the scientist explained.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Shura asked.
"Not with the discovery, but if possible, could you two please exorcise the demons around here. I'm afraid that the demons may attack and steal the finding."
"Understood," Yukio gave a firm nod.
. . .
Yukio shot one of his bullets at a demon that looked like it was made out of a shadow and watched as it disappeared. "That's the last of them," Shura stated. Yukio lowered his gun, still staring at the spot where the demon was. Shura saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Shura... tell me... why do you think so many demons have been acting up, lately?" Yukio asked.
"Huh?" Shura sighed, surprise to see that Yukio was still on the topic, "Not this again, Yukio...! Look, I don't know what to tell you, but is talking about this really going to do much good? If you want answers, then you gotta go and get some," Shura sighed.
"I know," Yukio turned around to faced the red-head, "That's why I'm here."

The Fourth Night: Saint

"This is the second time that demons have been reported attacking an area, where a stone-artifact has been found. Coincidence? I think not."
Shura uncrossed her arms, finally ready to take him seriously, "Okay, what are you getting at?"
"I think that whatever the reason may be for the demons chance in behaver may be connected to whatever is hidden behind all those rocks," Yukio draw is eyes on the mountain of rocks and boulders covering a cave entrance.

Rin got off of the piano and slowly walked over to the door. As she did so, Gabriel and Uriel flinched and looked at each other. "What now?!" Gabriel panicked, whispering.
"How should I know!" Uriel responded, "Ur... umm..." out of instinct, Uriel did the only thing she could think of. She pushed her brother through the door, causing him to kneel on the floor, in front of Rin
"... Gabriel?" Rin asked, looking down at the man in front of her, "What are you doing here?"
"Ur..." Gabriel raised his head and looked up at the half-demon, with an awkward smile on his face, "H-Heyyy... Rriiinnnnn... You're here, too? Haha!" he stretched the back of his head.
Rin lowered her eyebrows, "Gabriel... you're dodging my question."
"Am I, now?"
Rin sighed, and stook out her hand to Gabriel. Gabriel froze, staring at the hand in front of him. Slowly, he looked up at the girl, immediately seeing her honest and tender blue eyes. "Well, are you just going to sit there," Rin complained.
"..." Gabriel widened his eyes.
. . . A tall man with long light hair walked forward and stood out his hand.
"Gabriel... Get up!" he demanded, in a smooth voice . . .
Slowly, Gabriel took Rin's hand, letting her pulled him up. "So, care to tell me what you're doing here?" Rin crossed her arms and looked up at the white-haired angel.
Gabriel looked down at the girl, never taking his eyes off of her blue ones, "... Th- The thing is... umm... I was-"
"GABRIEL!" Uriel suddenly appeared and jumped on her brother's back, "There you are!"
"U- Uriel...!?" Gabriel looked at the head resting on his right shoulder.
"Heeeyyyyy... are you two having a moment~!?" Uriel giggled, grinning, 'Sister to the rescue!'
"N- NOOO!" Gabriel blushed slightly, "And get OFF of ME!" Gabriel straightened his back and unwrapped Uriel's arms from his shoulders, causing her to fall backward.
Uriel laughed at that, as Rin sweat-drop, "Umm... looks like you two are having a moment, soooo I'll just be going, now," Rin turned around and walked towards the piano, picking up her papers.
"Hey, Rin," Uriel called, getting up, "Sorry for asking, but was that you making that music?"
Gabriel looked at Uriel was a confused look on his face, 'What are you talking about, Uriel? We were watching her play.'
"'Play', playing what?" Rin asked, putting her papers in her bookbag. After putting them in, she turned to face the twins, leaving her bag on the bench.
"That grand piano," Uriel pointed, taking a step forward, "When we were walking down the hall, I heard a beautiful noise, coming from this room, so I let myself in. Was that you play?"
"Hmm?" Rin tilted her head, "That's strange. I thought I relocked the door."
"'Relocked' you say?" Uriel repeated, with a knowing look on her face.
That caught Gabriel attention. He smiled a little, 'Smart move!' "Yeah, what do you mean, by 'relock'," Gabriel continued.
"I mean that the door was locked before I entered, and when I entered, I lock it," Rin crossed her arms, with her left arm over her right, "My turn to ask. Why are you two in here?"
"Oh, just passing by, and happened to wander in here," Uriel fanned her off, "But moreover, where ever did you get that cute bracelace~?"
Rin looked down at her left wrist and raised it up to her eye level, "This?"
"Yeah, where did you get it?" Gabriel continued where his sister left off, remembering what Rin was wearing, "Did Sama-, I mean, S- Sir Pheise gave it to you?"
"..." Rin was taken back by that and looked back at the Blonde, "H- How did you know?"
"It's obvious," Gabriel crossed his arms, "No other stone can give off that kind of divine light and unsacred dim."
"'D- Divine light'? 'Unscared dim'? Wh- What are you talking about?" Rin repeated, generally not knowing what Gabriel was talking about.

/Israel, middle-east/
Yukio and Shura stood on the side, talking to themselves, as the researchers and scientists talked about their own topic. "We found something!" a young man with black hair, dressed in a white lab coat, ran up to the group of scientists.
Everybody looked at the man, including Yukio and Shura. "Really? What did you find?" asked the woman that greeted Yukio and Shura.
The man stopped when he was in front of the crowd, "I think it would be best if you could see for yourself."
Everybody stood in front of a large tent, waiting to see what was inside. After a few moments, the man with the black hair came outside, with a gray cloth in his hands. He set it on the ground and unwrapped it for everyone to see. What they all saw was a large, sparkling, golden feather, that gave off a strange aura like nothing they have ever felt or seen before. "This was found embedded in the ground, next to an underground river," the man explained.
"Is that gold?" Yukio asked.
"No," the man stood his head, "It's not any type of metal at all. And we have no explanation for the sparkle."
Shura rolled an eyebrow. "How do you know it's not metal or even just a normal feather?"
The man stood his head, getting up, "Shortly after we retrieve it from the cave, a couple of our men stunk a lighter under it and try to burn the thing, but oddly enough, it wasn't even hot. In addition, I ran it through our computers and it's not made out of any element on earth."
Yukio and Shura turned to each other in surprise. That sounded familiar. "Do me a favor," Yukio said as he looked back, "Let me borrow it for a little while. I think I may have something very similar to it, back at home."
"Well alright then," the woman, that greeted Yukio and Shura, answered, "But whatever it is that you're planning to do, I must ask that you do it here. We can't afford to have something happen to the feather just yet."
Yukio nodded.
. . .
Yukio watched out of the tent, with a shoulder bag on his side, holding some pieces of paper in his hand. Shura saw the looked on Yukio's face and asked, "Well, did you find anything?"
"I did," Yukio said slowly, handing the papers to the woman that greet Yukio.
The woman examined it for a brief moment, before widening her eyes. "Odd," she utter, "The feather and your piece are a 100% match," the woman removed the paper from her face and looked at Yukio, "Do you mind if I could get a good looked at your stone slab for a moment?"
Yukio nodded and opened his shoulder bag, "Alright, but I need you to promise that I can get it back..." Yukio pulled out the crest, the white-haired demon was trying to get its hands on, and put it before the scientist, "... And that you will let me know any information that you've gathered on it."
The woman smiled and nodded, "Of course." This was the first time she has met someone so young, who was interested in psychology. "Might me asking, but what was your name again?"
"Yukio... Okumura. And you?"
"Martin, Linda Martin," the woman smiled.

/True Cross Academy Music Room/
Rin sat on the black bench in front of the piano, while Gabriel and Uriel took a seat on the velvet couch. "Okay, let me get this straight. You're telling me that what that white, perverted clown gave me was his 'Lucky Charms', or whatever," Rin rolled her eyes, "And that it's basically a mood ring."
"Yep," Gabriel answered.
"That's what it is," Uriel nodded.
"But instead of changing colors, like mood rings usually do, it instead changes G-E-M type?" Rin tilted her head, "Like to diamonds, to opals, and to rubies?"
"Yep," Gabriel nodded.
"That sums it up," Uriel crossed her arms.
"And it only glows when I'm telling the truth, and become darker when I lie," Rin crossed her arms and lowered her head, still eyeing the twin angels.
"Yep," Gabriel crossed his arms.
"It is, what it is~," Uriel smiled.
"Okay..." Rin nodded, "... And the reason why I haven't noticed that yet is beecccccaaaaauuuusssssssssssssee..." Rin gestured her left hand, waiting for one of them to finish her sentencer.
"You're most likely oblivious," Gabriel smiled.
"Anything else?" Uriel asked.
Rin face-palmed, "... Yeah... just one more... Can we, you know, prove your theory?" Rin got up and walked around the piano until she was at its side, not believe a walk they say.
"Sure," Gabriel agreed.
"Okay, so what do I do?" Rin looked at them, lifting herself onto the piano and crossing her legs.
"Simple~! First, let me asked you, when's you're birthday?"
"What?" Rin tilted her head, "Why do you want to know that?"
"There's a reason," Uriel answered quickly.
"O- Okay! It's um... I- I don't know... I was adopted, and so was Yukio. But I do know that I'm fifteen and that we've celebrated our birthday on December 27th, every year, for as long as I could remember."
"Hmm? That's not that far away," Gabriel smiled when he saw the bright light from a single spot on Rin's chest, as well as from her bracelet and anklet, "Take a looked at your wrist and ankle."
"Hmm?" Rin lifted her right leg and saw that the gem on her leather anklet was now glowing, "Wow?..." Rin widened her eyes, "That's cool, but how do I get it to change stone?" Rin tilted her head and looked at her left wrist, "Do I need to tell a certain type of lie or something?"
"Not exactly. You need to feel a certain way, in order for it to change," Uriel explained, "Like so, Rin, who gave you your first kiss," Uriel grinned.
"..." Rin stared at Uriel, feeling a heat rush to her cheeks, "W- Why you ask?!" The memory of when Amaimon kiss her rush back into her head and she cursed him, for it, 'Damn it! I'll get you for that...!'
"Hehe!" Uriel sneered, "Oh, Rin~, you're embarrassed...!"
Rin looked to the side, "I- I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Don't lie! I can see your-, I mean, Sir Pheles Lucky Charms!"
Rin looked at her chest and pulled her necklace out from under her shirt, which had no bowtie with it. "..." Rin saw that her moonstone was now a purple amethyst, that looked very fake, almost like glass, "What the..."
"Like we told you, those gemstones respond to your emotions," Gabriel interrupted, "That's why it changed. If it becomes an amethyst, that means that you're embarrassed. And before you ask, the reason why it looks fake, and not real, is because you weren't true to your feelings. You lied."
Rin raised her head and looked at the twins, "But it was a moonstone, earlier. What does that me-" Rin looked back down at her necklace and saw that it was back to being a moonstone.
"It will only stay that way for however long you feel that certain way. And since it's so quickly turned back into a moonstone, that means that you feel trusted... Huh?" Uriel tilted her head and looked at her brother, "That means that you true us. Wh- why do you feel that way?" Uriel looked back at Rin, with a confused look on her face.
"Why wouldn't I trust you guys?" Rin tilted her head, "I mean... you seem cool enough."
"Thanks... but... we just met, and-"
"And?"
"..."
"You haven't done anything to me yet, so... why should I feel?" Rin straightened her head, but still kept the confused look, "I- I don't really know how to answered that."
...
"One last question," Gabriel raised his voice, "Do you know why S- Pheles would give those to you?"
Rin shook her head, "No... I don't. He just gave them to me and told me never to take them off," Rin answered, leaving out the part where Mephisto told her she would die.
"I see..." Gabriel nodded, getting up and making his way to the door, "Uriel, let's go, alright?"
Uriel looked up at him and blinked, "Ur- sure, Brother," she got up and hurry to him.
"Wait!" before the twins could leave, Rin got off of the piano and called out to them, "You're leaving?"
"Yeah? What of it?" Gabriel looked over his shoulder, "You need something?"
"Yeah! How about an answer for who the hell are you two?" Rin lowered her voice when she reached the end of her sentence, "You two seem to know an awful lot about Mephisto and his 'Lucky Charm', yet you two just transfer here... so again, you are you two?"
Uriel turned around, while Gabriel remained the where he is. "We're your classmates," Uriel smiled, "Isn't that enough?"
"Ur... I guess, but-"
"Then, see you in cram school," Uriel bowed, before turning back around.
Without another word, the archangels left, leaving a very lost Rin along. Rin looked down at her necklace and sighed, "Hmm?!"
.
(Much Later)
/Gabriel's & Uriel's Place/
Uriel walked down the hall, dressed in a strap, honey-gold nightgown, and a matching overcoat over it. She stopped when she saw Gabriel, with no shirt on, brushing his teeth in a bathroom. "Gabriel..." Uriel said in a soft voice, looking at her brother's tattooed backside, with his long white hair parted over his left shoulder. On Gabriel's back, there were a tattooed of four pairs white wings, four on both side, with a thin blue outline at the bottom of each, covering most of his back.
"Yeh...!?" Gabriel answered, with a toothbrush in his mouth, eyeing his sister's reflection in the mirror.
"Why did we leave then?" Uriel leaned against the door frame and looked at her brother through the mirror, "I thought you wanted proof that she was Satan's son, or in her case: daughter."
"I doe kno. Wha yo puo meh?"
"Gabriel," Uriel lowered her voice, narrowing her eyes.
Gabriel lowered his head and spit in the sink. Afterward, he grabbed the cup next to him and gurgled the water in it. Uriel waited for him to spit the water out, before getting an answered out of him. "That's because I knew right then and there that Rin wasn't the one," Gabriel finally answered, looking at his reflection. He turned around and looked at his twin. Uriel handed Gabriel a white hand-towel, which she took from the counter. Gabriel used it to whipped his face. "Rin's a good kid. There's no way that she could be that bastard's successor, and that goes doubt for his child," Gabriel removed the towel from his face, "I hate to say it, but you were right."
"You like her, don't you?" Uriel suddenly said, out of the blue, crossing her arms.
"Huh?!" Gabriel stared at Uriel in disbelief, "You're kidding, right? We just met and-"
"Gabriel, I see the way to stared at her," Uriel removed her back from the door frame, "Let's face the facts, you're hooked!"
Gabriel rolled his eyes and walked out of the bathroom, taking his toothbrush and towel with him. "You're crazy! Like I would ever!"
"Gabriel!" Uriel called out, at tab annoyed, as she watched her brother walked away from her.
Gabriel stopped when he heard his sister's called. He took in a deep breath, and said, "Look... if you're worried that I'm going to fall, then don't. That's never going to happen... I'm not going to lose my way... not like him."
"..." Uriel was caught with her mouth slightly opened.
Gabriel suddenly chuckled, "I guess why Rin caught my attention is because she's a pure and honest soul. That's not something that comes often, now of days," Gabriel looked over his right shoulder, at Uriel, "As the Embodiment of Truth, I consider it's my job to watch over those who are straight and sound. And besides..." Gabriel looked back up front, "If Rin really was Satan's child, then she would be cool to have as a relative. I know I alright like her, and I just met her!" Gabriel laughed, walking further and further away from Uriel, "Compare to the others, she could be a Saint!"
"... Oh, Gabriel..." Uriel shook her head, sighing.
.

/Shandong, China/
Mephisto stood in front of a tall office building, in the middle of the night, dressed in his usual white clothing. He looked up at the roof, seeing a creature with four huge wings land. He sneered and lowered his top hat, making his way towards the entrance. When he was there, Mephisto looked inside, through the glass door, until he spotted a security guard walking around. He knocked on the door, with the back of his left hand, "Yes~! Hello~...?!" he called.
The security guard looked Mephisto's way and shine a flashlight at him. Without wasting time, the man walked towards him, until he was about five feet away. "We're close," the security guard explained, "Come back here tomorrow."
Mephisto removed his hand from the glass, "Oh, come know..." Mephisto looked at the man's name tag, "... Cheng, surely you could make an exception? I have important matters that I must attend to, with a very important person, that shouldn't be kept waiting. And unfortunately, so, the only way for me to meet with this person is for me to go through you, so please let me in~!"
"I can't do so!" the man raised his voice.
"Oh, don't be like that..." Mephisto looked into the security guard's eyes, and lowered his voice, "All I'm asking is for you to let me in. There no need to be rude... So let me in."
The pupil in the security guard's eyes suddenly dilated, and the annoyed look on his face disappeared, "O... kay..." the man nodded slowly.
"Then, use your key to opened the door for me," Mephisto pointed to the keys hanging on the side of the man's belt. Again, the man nodded. He reached for his keys and used on to unlocked the door. After that, Mephisto let himself in and walked past the security guard, "You can take the rest of the night off, Cheng," Mephisto walked down a long dark hallway, that led to an elevator.
.
.
/Rin's Bedroom/
Rin sat on her desk, right next to a vast full of cleomes. She was dressed in her pink PJs from before, looking up at the clouded sky, with a part of binoculars. "Rin..." Yukio voiced called from the other side of the door, "It's time for bed! Go to sleep!" Rin ignored that, and instead, focus all of her attention on the nighttime sky. "Rin..." Yukio let himself in, "Why are you still up?" Yukio looked at his sister, "It's already past midnight."
"Five more minutes," Rin said.
Yukio sighed, walking over to Rin's side. He looked up at the sky, "Okay... I'll bite. What are you trying to look for, this time?"
"A blood moon," Rin answered bluntly, not looking at Yukio.
"A what?" Yukio looked at his sister, "Do you mean, a lunar eclipse?"
"Yeah... sure, let's go with that."
"Rin... that not for another week or so," Yukio sighed.
"I know... but I was still hoping to see one of its phases," Rin removed the binoculars from her eyes, but still kept her eyes locked on the sky, "Blood moons only come two or four times a year, you know."
"... sigh... again, they're called 'lunar eclipses', not 'blood moons'. You do realize that most of them aren't even red, right? There more of an orange."
"..." Rin looked at Yukio, straight in the eyes, and frowned, "... But the one that's coming is."
.
(Thursday)
/True Cross' Twilight Cathedral/
True Cross Academy city was home to one of the largest cathedrals in the world. It often received visitors from all over the world who just wanted a glimpse at what was inside. The inside was filled with beautiful statues of saints and angels alike, as well as many people from the testament and other religious books. Among the many people walking around, Yukio's class, class 1-A, was on a day tour for a field trip. A young woman with short black hair and big black eyes was leading the class to an empty room, filled with angel statues. Once inside, the class stopped when they reached a giant statue of a man with four pairs of wings on his back, and a sword held high up, into the air. The tour guide smiled and gestured the towering figure behind her. "This is a statue of the famous Archangel, Michaell, who name means 'Who is Like God'. According to history, he was the one who defeated the Devil, Satan, in the War in Heaven."
A girl with long brown hair raised her hand, "Why does Michaell have eight wings? I thought Angels only have two."
"They do, but only the Upper-Class ones have more," Gabriel answered, looking at the girl from behind. Everyone looked at Gabriel, including the tour guide. "How many wings an Angel has on his or her back can mean how strong and how much infuses he or she has in Heaven. It ranges from two: being the lowest, to eight: being the ones at the very top, only right under God," Gabriel explained, turning his eyes to the statue of the Arcangel, "Six and four winged angels have their own special meaning and jobs, also."
It was silent in the room for a little while, before the tour guide smiled, "Wow, look like someone has been doing his research," she complimented.
Gabriel chuckled, and put his hands in his pocket, "What can I say, I'm a fan."
After that little exchange of words, the tour guide looked at the class' teacher, "Could you please lead your class down this hall," the woman gestured the doubt door to her right, "Another tour guide will be showing you around, from this moment on." The teacher nodded and lead the class to the door over. Gabriel followed him but was stopped by the tour guide. "Wait just a minute!" the woman pleaded, "I have something I would like to discuss with you if that would be alright?"
Gabriel looked down at her, "Sure."
When the class left, the woman asked, "Tell me, would you be interested in a part-time job here, Sir?" the woman smiled.
"What?" Gabriel snorted. He looked down and chuckled a bit, before looking up at the statue of Michaell, "Thanks, but there's only one job I'm interested in, and it's a full-timer."
"I see..." the woman lowered her head.
"Thanks, though."
"No probably. I completely understand... After all, watching over all of humanity, as the Embodiment of Truth must be quite the hand full."
"..." Widening his eyes, Gabriel looked down at the tour guide, with nothing but shock in his eyes, "How did you kn-" Gabriel sharped his eyes and turned around. For a moment there, Gabriel felt as though the gravity in the room had changed, and that something evil was in the woods. To his surprise, he saw that there was no one - not a single soul - behind him. Gabriel immediately put up his guide and placed his left arm in front of the tour guide, "Stay behind me! Whatever you do, don't- Uh... u-uh..." slowly, Gabriel drew his eyes down toward his gut, seeing a sharp, black, curved blade sticking out of the left side of his stomach. Slowly, Gabriel turned around - with a sickly undead look in his eyes and a bloodline running down to his chin, "Wh- Why would y- you-..." Before Gabriel could finish his sentence, a thin, sharp, yellow light peer itself into the right side of Gabriel's head, causing him to fly backward and into the pedestal of another angel. "Urrgh...!" When the smoke cleared up, it reviewed Gabriel, with a bloody hole on the left side of his gut and mess-up clothing. Trying to keep himself up, Gabriel placed a hand on his stomach, where his wound is, and looked up at the figure that was standing high up on an opened window. "Okay... start talking! Just who on earth are you!?" Gabriel demanded to know, angrily.
The figure took a step forward, causing himself to land on the ground, forty feet below him. "My, have you forgot about me, already?" the man taunted, in a British accent, walking forward. The man, in front of Gabriel, had on a curved golden mask, that thick break-line bisected it and made it impossible for Gabriel or anyone to see the man's face. The only parts that could be reviewed was a pair of emerald green eyes and a mouth full of fangs. "Because I've yet to forget about you," the man stopped walking and stood next to the tour guide. He looked at her in the eye, "Thank you very much for all that you have done. Now, please hand me back my danger, and then go on with your days as if nothing has happened."
"Sure..." the woman nodded and handed the man a bloody hawksbill knife, that she used to stab Gabriel with. Afterward, she turned around and exited the room.
The man held the blade in his hand, as he looked at the Arcangel.
Gabriel clenched his teeth, as he looked down at the knife, "That, blade...! You're a demon, aren't you?!"
The man chuckled, evilly, "... *cough, cough* ... not just any demon. I'm the one that got its name by stealing it from his wretched father... You told me that once, Archangel."
Gabriel's eyes widened as he realized who was standing before him, "Lucifer...!?"
"Good. So you do remember me," Lucifer said with a sickly grin on his face.
Gabriel glared at him, "That's not possible! You can't be here! This is hallowed ground!" he shouted, causing the wound on his gut to throb.
Lucifer just scoffed, "Holy ground means nothing to a Demon King," he then raised his left hand and a bright white light emitted from it, "But to even things out, I think I'll take you to my territory." The light brightened and spread through the room. All that could be heard after that was Gabriel's screaming. When the light vanished, Lucifer continued to stand there in the room, as if nothing had happened. He turned around and looked up at the statue of Michael. In a blink of an eye, the figure suddenly reduced to pieces. As the statue fell, Lucifer made his way over to it and picked up a green and golden crest, with the number 'II' on it and a picture of a pair of crossed swords, that was in one of the stone pieces. He chuckled, as he turned around, looking around at the other statues of angels.

(The Next Day)
/Cram School/
Yukio was standing in front of the class, looking down at the piece of paper in his hand. "Suguro?" he called out.
"Here."
"Shima?"
"Here."
"Okumura?"
"Here."
"Moriyama?"
"Here."
"Miwa?"
"Here."
"Kamiki?"
"Here."
"Campbell?"
...
Yukio looked up, surprised to find that Gabriel and Uriel weren't in class. Rin noticed what her brother was doing and turned around, "Has anyone seen Gabriel?" Rin asked.
Everyone looked at each other, most of the people shaking their heads. "For that matter, where's Uriel?" Shima asked.
"Right here," Uriel said as she suddenly entered the room.
Yukio looked at her once she came in. "Hello, Uriel. I have to admit, you weren't the Campbell I was expecting to see."
"That's what I'm here for," Uriel said as she turned to the rest of the class with a worried expression, "Have any of you seen Gabriel. I haven't seen him since before he left for the class field trip yesterday."
"No, sorry," Bon answered, "Last I saw of him, was when the tour guide asked him if they could talk for a moment."
"'Tour guide'? From your field trip?" 'The one that I didn't want to go to.'
"Yeah. No one had heard or seen of him since."
Uriel bit her lip before turning to Yukio, "Please help me look for him. He could be in serious danger."
"I'm sorry Uriel, but it's True Cross policy that unless you actually saw Gabriel get hurt or taken by someone, he's not considered missing," Yukio explained. Because Sir Phiese is a demon, and the school they go to is supposed to train further Exorcists, the rules at the school have to be different from most.
Uriel glared at him before sighing in defeat, "... Fine. I'll look for him myself," she then turned around and was about to leave, when...
"Wait," Rin called out as she stood up from her desk, "I'll look for him with you."
"You will?" Uriel asked with relief clear in her voice. "Thank you so much, Rin."
Rin nodded and turned to Yukio, frowning, "You have to at least help."
Yukio looked at him pleadingly. "Rin, I can't just go against protocol whenever I want. But chances are that Shura will be happy to. Beyond advising you to see her, there's nothing else I can do."
"Fine," Rin said quickly as she followed Uriel out of the door.
.
.
/Shura's Apartment/
The moment when Rin opened the door and took a step inside, she immediately tripped on an empty alcohol bottle that was laying on the floor. "Whoa!"
The studio apartment was a mess. The covers were all over the room, the bed was just a mattress laying on the floor, and there was overturned furniture everywhere. "Are you okay?" Uriel asked as she helped Rin up.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Rin said as she looked around the apartment. "Jesus, who lives like this?"
"Right, because your place is perfect~," Shura's voice mocked, as she walked in from the kitchen with a beer can in her hand.
"I thought you said that you gave up?" Rin asked.
Shura took a gulp before answering, "Well I tried... but this stuff too good to give up. You should try some."
Rin sighed, "Yukio wouldn't let me. Said something about me being a miner."
Shura snorted, "That sounds like Yukio. A~L~W~A~Y~S~ one to worry. That Chicken need to let go sometime!"
Rin chuckled, "You're telling me..."
"Ahem!" Uriel coughed. Both women looked at the blonded. "Can we quick with the small talk and get back to business? PLEASE!?"
"Hmm? That reminds me, why are the both of you here?" Shura asked, taking a seat on her dusty couch.
"Gabriel's missing," Rin informed, crossing her arms.
"Whoa seriously?" Shura asked with concern lacing her tone. She had her eye on them ever since Shura found out that Mephisto was the one that enrolled them, so finding out that one of them is missing and the other one is asking her for help left her with all kinds of mix feelings.
"Unofficially," Uriel clarified, "Gabriel didn't show up for cram school yesterday, returned home last night, and came to any of our regular classes this morning. Not to mention that he hasn't been returning any of my calls. Plus..." She began to trail off.
"And?" Shura led Uriel to continue.
"Well...we're twins." Uriel finished. Shura just scoffed as she took another sip of beer, while Rin stared at her in disbelief. "I'm being serious." Uriel pleaded, looking at the two. "I can just sense that Gabriel's in danger. We could always just tell these types of things about each other. I'm telling you, my brother's in trouble,"
"Okay... You have me at Gabriel's missing, but 'twin sense'? Come on...!" Rin rolled her eyes, "You're not the only one that has a twin, or siblings in that matter."
Uriel turned toward Rin, "Please, Rin! You're the only one that believes me! You gotta help!"
Rin put up her hands in defeats, "Hey, I never said that I wouldn't... It's just that... well... sigh... Look, I just don't understand where you're coming from, that's all."
Before the topic could chance any further, Shura got up. "Fine. What do you want from me?"
"I was just hoping that you could help us look for him," Uriel explained, looking back at the red.
"No problem," Shura said as she pulled out a laptop from underneath her couch, "Lucky for you, Mephisto's a paranoid freak that keeps cameras all over the city. Just tell me where Gabriel was at what time."
"The Twilight Cathedral around ten to two-something."
Shura clicked on the information and nudged them to come over. "Here we go," she said.
Uriel and Rin walked over to Shura and took a seat on the sides of her, looking down at the screen. It was a poor-quality footage that showed class 1-A walking around. Shura fast-forwards until they saw the part when the class was in Angels' status room. "Stop right there!" Uriel demanded, leaning closer to the screen. They saw Gabriel being stabbed from behind, and then blasted over twenty feet back. "Oh my God!" Uriel cried as her hands clasped over her mouth in horror. The footage went on to reveal a blurry Lucifer raising his hand, creating a light from his palm. After that, the footages cut out. Shura looked in shock before she rewind the footage and zoomed in on the figure that took Gabriel, "Who's that?" Uriel asked.
Rin's eyes widened when she got a better look at the figure. "That's Lucifer." 'My other big brother.' Rin bit her lip.
Uriel turned to Rin and shock, "Lucifer? As in the King of Light and Satan's eldest son?"
Rin nodded, "He came here about two months ago and declared war on the Vatican. But I haven't heard from him since."
Shura sat up and looked down at Uriel, placing her hands on Uriel's shoulders, "I know this is very scary, but you should know that this will now receive the full attention of the Vatican. Gabriel's going to be okay," She reassured.
Uriel looked like she had something else in mind as Shura spoke. But when she was finished speaking, Uriel still nodded, "Okay. Thank you..." Uriel got up and made her way to the door, "Listen, I left my bow and whip at my place so I'm going to head back and get it. Bye," Uriel didn't even wait for a response before walking out of the room in a hurry.
"What was that about?" Shura asked, placing her hand on her hip.
Rin just shrugged.

/Mephisto's Office/
Mephisto was at his dest, having a cup of tea, when he heard the door whoosh open and then slammed closed. He looked up and saw Uriel with a furious expression on her face. "I hope you're not planning on breaking my door," he said playfully.
"Samael, you son of a bitch," Uriel said as she walked towards him and flipped his desk to her left with inexplicable strength, "You told him, didn't you?"
"Told who?" Mephisto closed his eyes and sipped his tea.
"You told that brother of yours, Lucifer, that Gabriel and I were here. Well, AREN'T I RIGHT!?"

Lucifer will be more or less OOC, because I want him to be like that, and have an English accent because I think it suits him. ;)
