Ki Master

Chapter 7

Author Notes: Chapter 7-chapter 7~ Last chappy Rin was put to work, and Mephesto has come to meddle with the Twins. Things can only get worse from here, I do not own Blue Exorcist.

3rd P.O.V

With a groan Rin found himself planting his butt on the floor, resting his head against the wall. "Finally!" Despite his exhaustion, he found himself grinning as the priests came in and out, taking each and every single food-filled dish.

At first the teen was going to go and help them, but he was dismissed outright. "You already did all of the cooking. Take a breather! You've earned it." He huffed and puffed his cheeks, wanting to protest... but ultimately did as he was told.

Time went by quickly, about two hours flying in the blink of an eye, with every western breakfast dish made to perfection. After a couple moments the newly appointed chef pulls himself up, grateful to see that the priests left a dish for him to take.

His stomach being sure to remind him that he skipped breakfast in order to make it on time today with a loud, ferocious growl. Grabbing a fork Rin digs into his breakfast with gusto.

"So this is the new cook. Rin Okumura I take it?" Glancing up, his blue eyes find...a smirking clown? Already Rin had his eyes narrowed with suspicions. Not only was he not a huge fan of them(since they looked creepy with the makeup and eyesore colors) but this one in particular set his instincts off.

This man radiated a powerful aura, from head to toe he was covered in Ki that was far more aggressive and visual then anyone he's ever come across before. He was a demon, fangs and all. "Who wants to know?" His reply comes with a slight bow. "Mepheto Pheles at your service~"

Immediately he gets an seething glare as the teen hisses. "You! You're the asshole ex stalking my mom!" As well as his half brother, not that he would ever recognize such a fact.

"Ohh don't say it like that-that makes me sound terrible!" Over the years Rins' heard many stories and imagined many of the people from those stories. The demon king of time...really didn't match up with what was standing before him.

Ming Xia had warned her son, time and time again to stay away from this demonic exorcist, but like with Shiro, it was hard for him to take this goofy looking guy seriously. He's pouting for god's sake! "What do you want?"

Mephesto was amused to no end. Here his younger brother was bristling, becoming the perfect representation of an irritated feline. Though despite the funny position, it left him in a bit of a tight bind. From the looks of it Rin doesn't seem to trust him(not that that's a surprise)

Looks like all those times he had pissed off Ming Xia back when they were young has come to bite him in the ass. "Why my dear, dear Rin-is that anyway to treat your flesh and blood?" Enraged, the fifteen year old's blue orbs glowed an unholy blue.

Without meaning to, he struck a nerve. "Family is more then flesh and blood. You know what? Don't bother answering my question! I already have a good idea as to why you're here-so I'm going to save you the trouble. I'm not going to your stupid, fancy school. Later."

Rin pushed his way past the demon king with no intention of listening to the trickster. His food long forgotten. "Even if it means I could cure your mother?" The teen paused mid step, just about ready to escape through the door.

He looked over his shoulder, giving a harsh glare so strong that it would incinerate all that dared meet it. "You don't know what you're talking about you bastard!" Though Mephesto remained standing, unafraid and unharmed.

Actually if anything he was absolutely thrilled, his younger half-brother was very entertaining indeed. Not to mention, he was able to keep the boy from leaving as he intended. "Are you so sure? I know exactly what's wrong with her, and more importantly how she can recover without repercussion."

It was impossible, ludicrous even. "You're lying!" Rin snarled, having had enough of his bullshit. "The doctors haven't been able to diagnose her properly for YEARS. What makes you think you can suddenly waltz in on our lives and know what's wrong!" He shouldn't even be listening to him.

His mother warned him that the demon king was a liar and manipulator. Way worse than the typical demons that flocked to Assiah. And yet... "Human doctors, who know nothing about demons, let alone ailments that could very well end her life if she continues down the path she's on."

Desperately...more than anything, he wanted to save her. Rin wanted his mom well again. After all she's done for him, it was the least she deserved. "If you know so much then tell me. What's wrong with her!?" He had to help her, even if it meant making a deal with the devil's spawn.

His elder blood sibling twisted his face, losing all trace of the goofiness and flamboyance he originally had. "She made a deal-one where she still honors and now suffers from it-the fool."

Showing just how dangerous-how malicious he could be with that one expression. One full of anger, and bitterness. Rin was unable to look away from Samael's true face as he revealed her condition.

Though many centuries have passed, the moments he spent with Ming Xia were ones he treasured greatly. Despite now only being memories, their interactions were truly the most entertaining back when they lived in Gehenna. He still recalled them, clear as day.

"My Prince! You're potential suitors have arrived in the throne room." Samael's eyes sparkled in anticipation as one of his servants shared the news. "Excellent~ Time to find my new set of toys." That's what all life was for him. Toys, and games.

His siblings were players in his games, often times making bets and like him, manipulating things to their favor. Whether they were demons or humans it mattered not. Everyone was something for him to pull and prod like a doll. To maneuver at his command.

The women he took to his bed were no different. Though his father demanded they find true partners to continue their bloodline-there really wasn't any fun in the idea. If anything it sounded like insanity when Satan first told him.

Honestly, finding someone that was able to catch his interest-to actually manage to entertain him for all eternity was a pipe dream. He was the eldest of Satan's children, and the keeper of time! He's seen it all, and quite literally Done it all.

Still he obeyed his father, allowing a group of demon women to flock to his castle once in a while under the pretense of 'finding' someone. Up until now, he would pick a girl to take to his chambers, have a night of pleasure, and then move on to something(or someone) else.

This time however was different. As there was one female demon, that-dare he say it looked Bored! While the others threw themselves at his feet, proclaiming their desires and obvious lust, she stood, rolling her eyes.

She didn't bother offering him a genuine curtsy or formal introduction. Her unimpressed expression aroused him to no end. "And who might you be my lovely?" She huffed, staring at him with a deadpanned expression.

"I am Xxx, and were it not for my family's enforcement at finding a partner I wouldn't step a foot within your property." His guards, and the other single ladies were enraged at the disrespect she gave. Such mistreatment of words to a demon king meant a painful death.

Yet...to Samael it was refreshing. It seemed instead of a toy...he found himself a new player in the game. One that unlike his brothers, seemed to actually have some wit. Despite her age, she knew her way around Samael's games Very well. Even able to outdo him a time or two.

There was no love coming from the pair. Far from it!

Xxx hated him with a passion. While Samael desired her, his own lust very clearly shown. The only thing that kept her around his presence without wanting to mutilate him( which he...was actually More than ok with) was their common infatuation with the mortal world, Assiah.

Those times he and she snuck there, watching a world full of life left them mesmerized. Samael will never forget the look on her face when she took in the sights, that first night, oblivious to his stares she smiled, eyes aglow in pure joy.

He wanted that...he wanted her. Body, mind and soul. It wasn't love, but obsession!

He still does to this day.

She had left him once-choosing a mortal over him but now he had a chance!

And he was going to use any advantage given to him, starting with her precious son.

To be continued.

Author Notes: So Mephesto is a tricky man to write, as in both manga and anime he's mysterious and unpredictable. In general I wanted the whole lovers turned enemies(?) thing to be not so simple. To Ming Xia she could care less for Mephesto and the games he forces on her, rather choosing to live her life in peace.

Whereas Mephesto feelings are complicated with her. He wants her, admiring for the fact that she's kept him entertained, that she is able to go toe to toe with him with these little mind games. But doesn't want to simply tie the knot so to speak...

When I asked Sen if I should have this story eventually get Ming Xia and Mephesto together, he stated no. Me? Well I myself wasn't sure, which is why I asked him, but what do you guys think? Let me know~

But that's it for now. Everyone thank you all so much for reading! If you like this story so far, please feel free to fav/follow/review as I appreciate all the support my stories get. See you next time-tchao for now!
