[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?

Cleome: The Butterfly Flower

Mephisto removed the cup from his lips and put it off to the side, having it float in the air. He plastered an upset look on his face, "Why I never...! You dare imply that I would work with the enemy?! How could I even? You told me not to."

Uriel glared at him, "That meeting you left a few days to attend... It was with Lucifer, wasn't it?" Not letting Mephisto counter, Uriel continued, "And I'm not implying, I'm declaring. Lucifer kidnapped Gabriel, and only you knew we were here. It must have been you who told him about us!"

Mephisto grinned, placing his hands in his lap, "So what if I did? As I recall, the deal I struck with your brother and you was that I wouldn't tell anyone 'in the academy' of your true identities. And last I check, Lucifer's not in True Cross."

Uriel got only more aggravated by that, "Don't even try to weasel your way out of this one! The intent of that deal was perfectly clear."

Mephisto waved his hand dismissively and looked to his side, "Oh, let's not talk about intent. The intent is meaningless."

"THE INTENT IS EVERYTHING!" Uriel screamed.

"Okay, enough," Mephisto said as he stood up, looking down at the Archangel, "Maybe the next time you attempt to threaten the King of Time, you should first consider that he has friends in high places."

"You're a bastard," Uriel growled out, "I should send you back to hell myself!"

"Then please, go right ahead," Mephisto dared as he looked Uriel dead in the eye, "Oh, that's right, you c-a-n-'t. Not without Gabriel," he reminded her, smirking, "As it stands now, you wouldn't last a heartbeat."

"Huh!" Uriel grimaced her teeth, "You should talk big for someone who was at our mercy, not that long ago."

Mephisto leaning closer, until he was only a few inches away from Uriel's face, "You honestly think that I, Satan's second creation, would actually be so easily beaten?"

"I was merely toying with the both of you!" Mephisto placed a hand on his hip, "You know... playing along~, seeing where things were going~~!"

"Yeah right!" Uriel crossed her arms over her chest, "Make all the excuses you want. It doesn't out rule the fact that you were clearly bleeding and passing yourself. You can't fake that."

"You're right, I can't," Mephisto straightened his back and looked to the side, placing the back of his hand on his forehead, dramatic, "My body was in pain...! BUT..." Mephisto grabbed Uriel by the arm and pinned her against the window behind him. Uriel maintained her glare, as Mephisto brought some of Uriel's hair to his nose, smelling it, "My... what an intoxicating fragrance you have," Mephisto leaned closer, letting go of Uriel strain of hair, "Please don't forget that it was two against one, last time," Mephisto continued, tilting his head to the left, "You two may be twins, but he has always been stronger than you, and you know it, Miss Embodiment of Judgment. If the both of you weren't always together, then... w~e~l~l~..." Mephisto chuckled, "... One down... another to go~!" Mephisto leaned in.

He was about to placed his lips on Uriel's lips when she asked, "Why did you give Rin your birthstone?" Uriel looked down, no longer being about to make eye-contact with the Demon King.

"... Hmm?" Mephisto froze, leaning back a bit. He stared at the Angel with a questionable look.

"You know what kind of power it holds, yet you gave it to Rin! Aren't you worried about your own student!?" It was odd. Mephisto had already foreseen all of this, yet it still left an odd sensation, one he never thought he would feel again, in his chest when Uriel talked about Rin. Uriel clenched her fist and pushed Mephisto out of the way. "Remember, Samael..." Uriel glared up at the demon, "... Gabriel and I have two o-l-d-e-r siblings, of our own. They're bigger, in every sense of the word," she smirked, "If anything, anything at all, was to happens to Gabriel, they'll come down here and make you wish you would have never chance sides." The Room was silent for a brief moment before Uriel exited it, slamming the door behind her, causing it to crack.

After that, the door off to the side of the room opened, letting Amaimon walked in. "She's pretty scary and hot when she wants to be," Amaimon commented.

"Agreed," Mephisto said as he sat back down, grabbing his teacup, that was still hovering in the spot that he left it, before all the drama.

"Then why don't you have any qualms about double-crossing her and Gabriel," Amaimon asked, sticking a piece of bubble gum in his mouth.

Mephisto clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Dear brother, in a game of chess, like this one, it's important to make moves in a way that tricks everyone. Yes, on the surface it may seem like I betrayed our dear friends from above, but in actuality, it's Lucifer who I've disappointed."

Amaimon raised an eyebrow, "How so?" he asked.

Mephisto sighed, "Let me remind you of what took place during our meeting."

The Fifth Night: In A Game Of Chess

(Two Days Before)

/China/

Mephisto opened the building's door, letting himself out to the roof. He shut the door behind him and walked over to a man, dressed in a teal-colored suit, looking up at the cloudy, polluted sky. Mephisto smiled lazily, "Just us?"

"Our younger siblings were all too busy to come tonight," Lucifer answered, turning around, "The same could be said for Amaimon, I assume?"

Mephisto stopped and stood in front of his older brother, "Amaimon apparently got his hands tied with," he sneered, "Math homework."

Lucifer sighed silently, closing his eyes, "... A pity."

"Agree," Mephisto stated in a pouty tone. Lucifer was about to say something else when an annoyed expression crossed his face. Mephisto looked closer and saw blood starting to drip from the corner of his eye, which Lucifer quickly wiped away with a handkerchief. "Perhaps Shandong, China wasn't the best place to host a family reunion?" Mephisto commented, "China isn't known for its clean air, you know."

Lucifer looked back up in annoyance, "I picked this place because of their air quality." Not given Mephisto a chance to asked 'what' or 'why', Lucifer explained, "Many of the humans here are very irritated with the never-ends of pollution. And I believe that the humans' hatred will play in our, or should I say, ours EXCEPT your favor," Lucifer glared, remembering that this was Samael he was talking to.

Mephisto half smiled, "Killing two birds with one stone... That sounds like you, Big Brother~."

"All the more reason why I must return to the Illuminati soon. So let us finish this."

Mephisto extended a hand towards him, "You called me here. The floor's all yours."

Lucifer narrowed his eyes at his younger brother, "A few days ago - on Sunday in Japan - a powerful surge of energy hit the earth."

"That's why you call me here? To tell me about an earthquake?" Mephisto taunted.

Lucifer ignored that commented and continued, still making an efforted to scowl at his younger brother, "The shake was so strong, that many of the Demons in Gehenna were affected. I simply wanted to find out the source of it."

Mephisto grinned devilishly, "Lucky for you, I have already found the answer."

Lucifer tilted his head, removing his annoyed expression, "And what might it be then?"

Mephisto took a serious expression for a moment, frowning coldly, "I am sad to report that the Archangel Gabriel is in our midst," Mephisto made sure to say the white-haired angel's name with the up-most disguise.

Lucifer's eyes widened, flinching for a moment, "You're certain?"

Mephisto nodded, closing his eyes, "I could spot him from a mile away with my eyes closes," Mephisto reopened his eyes and glared at Lucifer, "He forced me to tell him everything I knew about our youngest and only sister," Mephisto then grinned, when he saw the almost worried looked on his older brother's face, "Lucky though, Rin-chan was born a girl, instead of a boy. The Archangels were under the impression that Rin would be born a boy... Ha! I can't say that I blame him! After all, I wasn't expecting a sister either... But because of her gender, I was able to answer all of my questions with 'the child' and a simple 'yes'."

"And you honestly believe that he is here to slay our only sister?" Lucifer questioned.

"It would be far from the first time that his kind slaughtered one of our own," Mephisto reminded him, "But don't worry, we got time to think of a plan. After all, it took most of your siblings over fifteen years to realize and accept the fact that our father's heir is a girl. Oh, and speaking of Father..." Mephisto began, "... If he ever finds out that his heiress was murdered, and by an Archangel of all people, we'll all be wishing he would have given us to Gehenna to deal with, once he's through with us."

Lucifer agreed and thought for a moment, "Then what do you suggest you do?"

"Well, you can't kill him. That will incite the other Archangels to claim Okumura's life in retribution. But I'm sure a powerful Demon, such as yourself, can find a way to trap him," Mephisto suggested, "And don't worry about the location... it just so happens that the class I put Gabriel in is going on a field trip soon."

"Very well then," Lucifer responded, "And you're certain that Gabriel came here alone?"

"Yes. Without a doubt," Mephisto answered.

(Present Day)

"Lucifer's going to kick your ass when he finds out you lied to him," Amaimon reminded him.

Mephisto waved his hand in dismissal, "He won't get the chance...!"

Amaimon raised an eyebrow, "You really think Uriel will kill him."

Mephisto shrugged, "Or at the very least, help speed up the process of his body breaking down. Of course, she'll be receiving some help from our little sister."

Amaimon lowered his eyes, "... Are you doing all of this because you want to protect Little Sis... or are you and Big Brother Luci still at each other's throats, after all this time."

Mephisto smirked, evilly, as he sipped his tea, "Hard to say..."

"And you're sure that Rin's cover won't be blown."

"Again... hard to say," Mephisto closed his eyes, "... Either Lucifer will find out about one and tattle to our siblings, or Gabriel and Uriel will find out about the other one and tell theirs. Either way, one of my problems will finally leave me."

"But the rise-"

"It's chess, Amaimon. Chess~!" Mephisto opened his eyes, "You can't win in a game of chess if you're afraid to take rise."

Amaimon flinched, choosing carefully what to say next, "... And the piece you're willing to sacrifice isn't Lucifer... but Rin?"

"ERR!" Mephisto let go of his teacup and made an X with his arms, "... Nope! It's neither Rin or Lucifer!"

"..." Amaimon blinked, "... Then who?... Gabriel and Uriel?"

Mephisto spun his chair around, looking out the window, "It's too early in the game to say..." he then smirked, "... Still, though, I think it would be best if I checked in with my own little triple agent first."

(Several Hours Later - 19:40 in Japan)

/One of The Illuminati's Headquarters/

Lucifer was lying down on a metal bed, with his mask still on his face, trying to fall asleep, while being hooked up to a machine, almost the sizes of a car. His trip to meet with Mephisto and then capturing the Archangel had taken a lot out of him. At the moment, his only wish was that if he needed to breathe, he would suffocate himself. Lucifer was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard the door open. He assumed that it was a doctor, so he responded, "I don't need any more treatment. Thank you," he said politely.

"I'm not here for that, Sir."

Lucifer recognized that voice. He sat up and saw Shima in front of him, with a nervous smile on his face. "Renzo Shima, correct?" Lucifer questioned, trying to maintain his respectable present.

Shima nodded quickly, "Yes, Sir. I'm honored that you remember me."

Lucifer narrowed his eyes, "I thought I send you back to Samael... yet here you are, in violation of my direct order."

Shima put his hands up defensively, "I'm sorry, Captain, but Sir Pheles had just issued the order for my class to come here and resue the prisoner, Gabriel. I just thought that was an all hands on deck type of situation, so I came back," he explained, laughing.

"... Very well. I would have done the same in your position. I apologize for worrying you," Lucifer said, again in a politer tone, as he put his head down. Shima sighed in relief, only to be asked something else from Lucifer. "Speaking of your class..."

"Yes, Captain!" Shima straightened his posture.

"... How has my sister been fairing?"

"Oh... Rin?" Shima relaxed a bit, not expecting Lucifer to be asking this, "Sh- She's doing fine. Rin's getting better at controlling her flames, but I haven't seen her use them since that trip to Aomori."

"Oh, really now?" Lucifer stared up at the ceiling, "Why is that?"

"Not sure, but I have no guaranteed that she'll be or won't be using them, once Rin gets here. I don't fully understand it, but Rin been getting along with Gabriel and I think she's trying to win him over before she scared the living day-light out of him."

"... I see."

"Oh! And speaking of Gabriel-"

"Floor three, lab 304." Lucifer interrupted, closing his eyes and turning to his side.

Shima was surprised that he didn't really have to ask, but he didn't want to look a gifted horse in the mouth. Shima immediately raced out of the room and made his way to the aforementioned lab.

When Shima arrived, he was shocked and more than a little horrified by what was before him. Gabriel was frozen within some sort of bright yellow crystal that was held in the center of the room by a pair of mechanical claws; one on top of him and the other under him. Gabriel's eyes were closed and he wasn't moving a muscle, resembling a froze bug in amber. "Did you come here for something, Shima?" a female Illuminati member, with black hair and glasses, asked.

Shima turned her way in surprise. He didn't notice her there before. "N- No! Just checking on the prisoner," he answered before turning back to Gabriel, "...He's not-"

"Dead?" she interrupted, looking at the frozen Archangel, "No. Technically he's in a coma."

Shima nodded before turning towards the door, "Well, I have to get going. Lucifer wanted me to remind you not to kill him," Shima added before he left. It was a lie. But then again, wasn't that the whole point of being a spy? Shima closed the door behind him and let out a breath he didn't even realize he was keeping in. 'Rescuing Gabriel from the Illuminate was already going to be a tall order.' Afterward, started walking down the hall, 'So the guys have to get Campbell out of that huge crystal AND try not to shatter him? Ha!... I wonder if should I lend them a hand.'

Lucifer tossed and turned on his bed painfully. His body wasn't holding up very well. He had already held onto it for about a thousand years, and as the strongest of the Demon Kings, it was next to impossible to find a new body that would sustain him. Still, though, he was quite pleased with himself. Not only has Lucifer captured one of the Archangel, but he also was able to find something very valuable to him.

Lucifer reached his gloved, left hand with a golden ring over his index finger to the desk next to his cot. He pulled open one of the drawers and took out the gold and green crest he stolen from the cathedral. "Don't worry, Father," Lucifer said to himself, bringing the stone to his chest, "Just a little bit longer... Then, you'll walk the earth."

(Monday Afternoon)

/Inside Mephisto's Limo/

Rin was seated to the edge of the car, next to a window, looking out, while Mephisto was in the other corner. The ride was mainly silent until Rin looked at Mephiost and asked, "Okay... are you going to tell me where we're going, or not?"

Mephisto eyed Rin and smiled his usual smiled, "Oh, you'll know soon enough."

"Don't give me that!" Rin placed her right elbow on the top of the red seat behind her, "You came over to Yukio's and mind home, during lunch hour, and asked me to come with you!"

"Why are you so antsy~?" Mephisto giggled, "You made it sounds like this is the first time I've done something like this?"

"You're right... it's not," Rin then narrowed her eyes, "It's just the first time you asked me to packed A-L-L of my stuff. And to top it off, you didn't let me tell any of my friends, or Yukio, where I was going."

Mephisto closed his eyes and looked through the window behind him, "... Well, if you must know, I'll give you three hints. Number one: it's something I know you wanted for a long time, now. Two: It involves all of your things. And three: ... It's right out your window."

"Hmm?" Rin turned her head to her left and saw that the limo had stopped in front of a three-story-tall brink building, "Uhh... Mephisto..." the car door opened and Rin took a step outside, after Mephisto, "... Why are we in front of some apartment?" Rin pointed at the house, looking up at Mephisto.

"Take a closer look," Mephisto smiled, taking the bags his butler had handed him. Rin walked forward and took a looked through the glass wall. She saw that it was actually an empty restaurant with a spiral staircase off to the far back, right. "So, what do you think~?" Mephisto asked, suddenly standing next to his sister.

Rin looked up at him and made a confused face, "It's a nice eatery, I guess?" Rin straightened her back and faced the man, "Did you really brought me here just to check out some cafe?" Rin tilted her head, "And on my Teacher-Work Day, too?"

"Not quite," Mephisto handed Rin her luggage, "I brought you here so that I could see the look on your face when you check out your new home~!"

"..." Rin froze and pointed a finger at the house, "... Wait... you're telling me that I-... I'm leaving here now...?"

"Hmm-huh!" Mephisto proudly nodded. Before Rin could ask anything else, Mephisto asked, "Shall we take a look inside~?"

Rin slowly nodded.

/Uriel's Gabrial's Penthouse/

Uriel opened a cabinet above the sink and pulled out a box of cereal. She was dressed in her yellow nightgown and a pair of fuzzy blue slipper. Her hair was a mess and her eyes had bags under them. After she got the box down, Uriel picked up the bowl, spoon, and pint of milk to the side of her. "... Hhh...!" Uriel sighed, as she turned around and walked out of the kitchen, with her breakfast in her hands.

Uriel sat down on the couch, with a bowl of cereal and milk in her hand. She turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels.

["Order now and we'll throw in this-"]

["No... NO! NnnnAAAHHHHH-"]

["This just in, a large crater have been spotted in the south-east of-"]

["Mama, why can't I keep him? I promise I'll-"] Uriel froze and turned back a few channels. She saw a twenty years old woman, with shoulder-length blonde hair, holding a microphone in front of the screen. She was standing right next to the hole Gabriel and Uriel made when they first descended from heaven. ["I'm standing, here, in the middle of the Parco Del Gianicole park, just over five miles away from the Vatican city, looking down at this mysterious crater." the woman on the screen stated, ["So far so, nothing can be said as to who or what made this enormous dent in the earth, but it's more than safe to say that whatever it is is without a doubt dangerous."] Uriel leaned forward in her seat and narrowed her eyes, putting a spoon full of cereal in her mouth. ["However, even though we could find any leads as to what made this, we were about to find a witness to the scene."

Uriel nearly choked on her cereal, 'A witness'

"Whhhooooaaaaaa...!" Rin walked around the restaurant, taking in everything she saw, as Mephisto watched his little sister with an entertained look on his face. Rin looked down at the floor and saw her own reflection in the tiles. Afterward, she ran through a door, that led to the kitchen. Rin saw that it was a huge, unspoiled kitchen with a door off to the side. Rin walked over to it and opened the doors. She discovered that it was a little locker room. "This is so cool, Mephisto...!" Rin ran out of the kitchen and went to the bar, "... Who owns this place?!" Rin leaned against the bar counter, smiling.

"You do, of course!" Mephisto walked over, having Rin's bags rolled themselves over to her, and took a chair from the stacks.

"What?" Rin put her arms on the counter and placed her head on arms, puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"I mean that you're the owner of this little residence and the cafe inside~!" Mephisto placed the chair in front of the counter and took a seat on it.

Rin widened her eyes, "... As in... the whole, whole, W-H-O-L-E! place?!" she straightened her back.

"Didn't I already explained that two or three times, now? Why are you so persistent to have me repeat myself?" Mephisto raised an amused eyebrow. Rin was about to ask another question, when Mephisto sighed, "Seeing as how you're a slow learner, I guess I have to walk this through with you... See here, this building was originally a very small apartment building, owned by Who-Really-Care's-For-The-Names, but when a rich family decided to buy the place, little less than a decade ago, they remodeled the building. Turning this, tiny four-story apartment into a four-floor city vila~! As for why the first floor is a cafe, well, after the family met an unfortunate accident, the home was for sale at an AMAZING price, so I bought the place for you and turn the first floor into a restarut~. Can't you say 'Best Big Brother EVER' or what~?!"

"..." Rin blinked, walking around the counter to Mephisto, "Mephisto... who said that I wanted my own building or cafe?" Rin crossed her arms, looking very upset, "And just what do you mean by 'an ac-ci-dent'?"

Mephisto chuckled, "Oh, come now~. Anyone with eyes can see that you love being in the kitchen. And now, you can whenever you like~! ... As for the 'accident'," Mephisto looked up at Rin, "Weeellllllll... if you must know, the people who used to live here, a very wealthy doctor and his wife and only daughter, met a very unfavorable death, as I have said. The truth's that the doctor killed his wife and only child, and then committed suicide."

It took Rin a moment to process that bit of information. But when it sunk in, she asked, "WHAT!? They WHAT!?"

"You know... the typical human life. These things happen!"

Rin looked all around the room, "You're telling me that someone died here!?"

"Basely, yes. Oh, but don't worry. The husband and wife passed on to the next worlds so that just leave the daughter."

"You're telling me that a ghost's haunting the place?!"

"Hmm-huh! But lucky for you, she's harmless... for the most parts. So consider her a roommate for now~."

"..." Rin took a step back, shaking her head, before running passed Mephisto, "I don't think it would be a good idea for me to-"

"Live here?" Mephisto finished, grabbing Rin's wrist before she could get far. Rin looked down at her wrist and then at the demon that was grabbing it. "Don't tell me that you're afraid to trespass on a ghost's home?" Mephisto raised an eyebrow, "You're an Exorcist and a demon, even. It shouldn't bother you."

"But-"

"Besides, it already too late. I already bought the place and filled the first floor with stuff~."

"You... Mmeeeppppppphhiissssssssssttoooo...!?" Rin took back her hand and whined, "You shouldn't decide something like this on your own! Really, why can't you ever just tell me things BEFOREhand?!"

Mephisto stung, "Would you have been okay with it?"

"..." Rin pointed a finger and was about to scream something, but caught herself, "... No, but-"

"Then that's that~! Now," Mephisto got up and put his chair next to Rin. Afterward, he walked to the door, "I'll leave you to do your unpacking. The second floor completely empty, as well as the third floor, so you'll have to go out and buy stuff."

Rin widened her eyes and looking at the demon, taking a step forward, "What about-"

"Don't worry about the money...! I sold all of the last owner's belongings and put the money into your bank account."

"But I don't have-"

"I got you one~! And don't worry about paying me back for the cafe and house," Mephisto looked at the door, "Consider it's an earlier sweet-sixteen gife~."

Rin opened her mouth, "But Yuki-"

"Can stay with you, if he so wishes, but I think he's considering moving out on his own and doesn't want to mooch off of his big sister or brother."

"What?! He never-"

"You keep secret from him, no~?" Mephisto looked over his shoulder. Rin took a step back, realizing that Mephisto had planned this all out from the beginning. "Oh, and one more thing..." Mephisto opened the door, no longer looking at his sister, "... Two, actually."

"And what are they?" Rin pouted, preparing herself for whatever her brother was going to throw at her.

"Because this place is not in True Cross Academy town, you would have to find you're own means of defending yourself from demons, as well as others that wish to harm you. And two: The opening of you're cafe is around Christmas to New Years, so make sure that you have employees, a name for the place, and items to put on the menu. But don't worry, I'm letting Ukobach work here so that there's something keeping an eye on the place when you're in school." With that last piece of information, Mephisto left Rin by herself.

Rin just stood there, completely silent for a while, before she mumbled, "A little over a month before the opening... a ghost for a roommate... demons coming after me... my brother never tells me anything... And..." Rin fell back on the chair that was conveniently placed behind her, "... worst of all, if anyone normal from school ever finds out about any of these... I can kiss whatever kind of social life I had 'goodbye'," Rin lifted her head and turned around to looked at the stairs. She sighed and got up, making her way to it with her things.

After dragging her luggage and bags up the stairs, Rin dropped them on the floor and took a good look around. On her left, Rin saw a little area big enough to put in some bookshelves and chairs and on her right, Rin saw a large room. She took several steps forward, into the large room, taking notice of the high ceiling that was most likely twenty feet tall, the brick walls with windows that touched the ceilings, and the railings from the floor above her, that goes around the large room. Rin walked over to a brick wall, that was almost in the middle of the room, and walked circles around it. On one side, that was facing a window, Rin saw a kitchen and an island or what was left of a kitchen. The were no refrigerator, oven, microwave, or dishwasher. Instead, just a bunch of cabinets and drawers... And on the other end, she saw a glass fireplace, placed against the brick wall.

'A kitchen? Almost in the middle of a room?' Rin looked up at the railings of the third floor and noticed a staircase leading up to it. Rin walked towards it and was about to walk up the steps when she suddenly got push back. "Ah!" Rin landed on her bottom, looking up at whatever knocked her down. To Rin surprise, she saw a transparent young woman in a black cocktail dress standing on the second-to-the-bottom step of the stair.

She had both of her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed. Who are you and who let you in my home? the ghost demanded to know in the firm voice.

/Uriel/

Uriel continued to stare at the screen, as a teenage boy in a hooky stood next to the blonde woman. ["Yeah, I saw the whole thing."] the teenage boy answered, ["There was this scaly white-haired dude, wearing this weird gladiator's outfit, running through the woods. So naturally, I followed him. To my surprise, these two bright, fiery meteor came crashing from the sky. I nearly got myself hit by one of them... It was a good thing that I didn't though because I would have never had gotten the video that I did.]

Uriel widened her eyes, "Oh, dear...!"

["Can we please see this video of yours?"] the woman asked.

["Sure, I left my phone at home, though, for charging. But don't worry. I'll be posting it on the internet later this morning at around eight to nine."]

Uriel could hear her heartbeat quickening with ever beat and her hands become damp and sticky.

["There you go, folks! In just a few hours, we'll get a first look at whatever it was that landed in Itay!"] the woman looked back at the screen.

"... Not good..." Uriel looked up at the clock on the wall. 2:04. 'Rome, Italy is about eight hours behind Japan, so... I ONLY GOT TWO HOURS!"

/Rin/

"..." Rin got to her feet, stilling facing the ghost, "Let me guess... you're the ghost I've been hearing about."

The woman looked down at Rin. ...My name is Machi... Who are you?!

"Oh, right, I've almost forgotten that part," Rin stoke out her hand, "Rin Okumura."

Thank for telling me your name, 'Rin', now please answer me why you're here.

Rin lowered her arm, realizing that Machi wouldn't shake it even if she wanted to. "I'm here because I parently live here now," Rin rolled her eyes, "If you're not happy about this arrangement, then please take it with my brother, the Clown King."

The ghost widened her eyes, You live here now?

"Yep. So in other words, we're roomies for a while."

I see...

"Look," Rin put her hands in front of her in defected, "I get it if you don't want someone to just come on in here and make their home, and all, but I really got nowhere to go. Plus, parently I'm the owner of the cafe downstairs, so... yeah..."

Machi stared at Rin for a moment, before turning around, If you wish to live here, then it is not my please to tell you otherwise. What was once mind, is now yours. Afterward, the ghost floated through the stairs.

Rin sweat-drop, "... O... kay... so not the reaction I was expecting, but alright." In Rin's mind, she was expecting an epic fight between them, in who'll keep the building, not a peaceful talk between women.

/Else Where/

"O~KAY~!" the man that was interviewed on TV cheered. He was seated at his desk, watching the screen on his computer loads. He clapped her hands together and grinned, 'I'll be famous for this!'

"Infamous, more like it."

"..." the boy froze and quickly turned around in his seat. To his surprise, there wasn't anybody there. The boy took in deep breaths, before slowly turning back around. "What was th-" when the teen looked back at his computer, he saw a red-eyed raven right in front of his face, looking him dead in the eyes. "... WHOAAAA!" The moment when the kid jumped back, the raven flew in front of his face and sticks its beak into one of the man's eye. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed, as he walked backward. When the guy's back hit the wall, the raven flew up to the ceiling, taking the young man's left eye as a trophy. The teen covered the bloody hole in his head, where his eye used to be, and looked up at the raven in fear. The man watched in horror as the raven raises its head, swallowing his eye with one galloped. Afterward, the raven looked down at the teen with blood-thirsty eyes. Immediately, the man ran over to his computer, taking his phone from the table. He picked it up and dial down a number, as he continued to cover his left eye-hole with his left hand.

After a breath moment, a voice could be held from the other end. [... - 911, what's your emergency? - ]

"Yes, hello...!" the man placed the phone next to his right ear, "Please help! There's a crazy, mad bird inside my house!"

[ - Sorry, but what did you just say? If this is a joke, then I'm hanging up! This number should only be used for emergency, only, Sir. - ]

"No, you don't understand!" the teen leaned forward, spitting a little bit on the table, "This bird...! Ah- umm... A crow, I think, suddenly appeared in front of my computer and now its- YYAAAOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWCCCCCHHHHH HA HA!" the man cried out when the raven appeared behind him and dug its claws into the back of his neck. Out of instinct, the young man turned around and hit the bird on its side with his left hand, smashing the bird against a picture hanged on the wall. "..." the man stared at the bird with terrified eyes, as it lay there on the floor, underneath the picture frame and shards of glass.

[ - Sir, is everything alright?! What's going on? - ]

Ignoring the woman's - on the phone - question, the man slowly walked over to the bird that nearly killed him. He felt his heartbeat slowed down as he saw the bird moved less and less. When the man was in front of the bird, he slowly bent down and lifted the frame off it the raven. He took notice that the bird was not moving and that its face was facing his shoes. The man let the picture frame fall to the ground when he realized that the bird was dead. He lowered his other hand, the one that was holding the phone, and took on a surprise and shock look. Slowly, he reached his hand to the bird. But before he could lay a hand on it, it snapped its head to its right, looking directly at the man.

"... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" All that could be heard for the next hours were the young man's screams and cries.
