It's All Fun and Games Till You Fall in Love

Chapter 3: Amaimon

The day was young, but Rin felt as if it was nearly midnight, his head slipping from his hand as he stared up at the chalkboard, trying to stay focused on what the teacher was saying. What was she saying? It was something about a war, that's as far as he knew. His eyes started to droop, then his head hit the desk with a clunk and he was out. He didn't hear as the teacher walked over, calling his name, or as the other students snickered as she raised her book up.

WHACK.

Rin shot up, exclaiming "The war was in 1902!" earning a glare from the teacher.

"We were on that topic thirty minutes ago Mr. Okumura. Now, for the last time I will ask: Do you think you can manage to pay attention for the last thirty minutes of my class?"

Rin gave a curt nod, sitting up straight as he rubbed his forehead now realizing that it stung slightly due to the collision with the desk. He looked around the room, trying to find something to occupy his mind as he struggled to find reason of staying awake. He blinked, noticing something green from the corner of his eye, looking towards the window. Peering at him with cold, hateful eyes was the Earth King Amaimon. 'I thought you were taken care of,' he thought, his eyes narrowing as they made eye contact.

The demon smirked, biting at his thumb nail, eyes not leaving Rin as he tilted his head from side to side as if he was listening to some sort of music with an off beat. The son of Satan wanted to get up and chase him away, possibly even fight him despite knowing that there was a chance still that he was not strong enough. As reckless as these thoughts were, he wanted to just do something, anything, other than sit here and listen to the history lesson that Rin could care less about.

The bell chimed, and he shot up, grabbing a hold of his sword and rushing out of the classroom, ignoring his teachers words as she yelled at him to get back to his seat. He ran down the hall, burst open the door and ran over to the side of the classroom where the other was. Skidding in the dirt he scowled as the demon was no where to be seen. Was it his imagination? He frowned, looking around, not seeing any sight of him. He heard a soft pop and looked to his side, seeing Mephisto smiling down at him. "Why such a grim look? It's not very attractive."

"Can it, stupid clown," he grumbled, looking away from him, glaring to the wall of the building.

"I just received a call from your teacher, Rin being a bad boy?" he cooed, smirking as his eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

"I thought I saw something..." Rin grumbled in reply.

"Something? And this something being?" the older man tilted his head to the side, his smirk not wavering.

"Amaimon, the King of the Earth," he stated, his voice low as he looked about doing one last check to see if he showed himself once again.

"Ah," Mephisto frowned, and looked off to the side, his brows lowering slightly making him look as if he was scowling. "Probably just your imagination, old ghosts popping up and haunting you, I bet you just need to eat something..." Rin blinked and looked up at him, curiously. "Would you care to join me for dinner?"

"I dunno..." Rin said hesitantly.

"It isn't really much of a request, more so a demand, after all, I did catch you for the second time, correct?" Rin didn't say anything, holding his tongue as he silently nodded, still wondering about the Earth King more than what Mephisto was up to. He looked to the older man as he held out his hand, and blinked. "Take it," Mephisto instructed.

Rin shook his head, "Like hell..." he grumbled, feeling his cheeks turn red as Mephisto forced his hand in his. He glared up at the other, earning a slight chuckle as he walked over to a door, taking a key out and inserting it inside, opening the door and leading him in.

"You are rather adorable when you blush. I think I might make it a personal hobby of making you do so," Mephisto stated, as if it was a normal statement in a relatively interesting conversation.

"Bullshit," the younger man hissed, trying to wrench his hand free, making the older man laugh with amusement.

Mephisto led Rin down the hall, then up a flight of stairs, opening a door and arriving in his office. He let go of the other man's hand, closing the door behind them and turned towards the table filled again with food. As soon as the aroma hit the younger mans senses, his mouth began to water making him realize how hungry he was.

"Eat all that you'd like," the older man gestured his hand to the food, letting go of the hand he was holding against Rin's will.

He blinked and looked up at the old demon, taken aback by that kind smile he saw yesterday. He bit his lip and the demon tilted his head, smiling a bit wider as he strode across the room, removing his hat, which he placed on a coat rack, and his gloves, which he placed neatly on one of the hanging poles normally used for coats and jackets.

Rin couldn't help the thought that randomly popped into his head, and even more so, he couldn't help when it surfaced and popped out of his mouth. "You have a tail, right?"

Mephisto raised a brow, turning to look at him curiously, "Of course."

"What's it look like?"

"A gentleman never shows his tail," Mephisto stated, smirking slightly, amused at the boy's curiosity. Rin didn't like that answer, but flopped back into a chair, glaring at the food, shoving some on his plate and looking up at the man, who laughed, tilting his head to the side, "A tails a tail, boy. They aren't that fabulous," he stated, shrugging as he walked over to the table and sat next to him.

Rin went tense as he felt the other's hand on his own tail, turning to look at him, watching him closely. "What're you doing?" he asked, watching him as he stroked it.

"You should really take better care of it. You brush your hair don't you? Yet you leave your tail out as if you could care less about it. A tail is a demon's manhood," Rin closed his eyes as he felt a brush brushing lightly through the hair on his tail. "You care about your manhood, don't you?"

"Of course," Rin growled, glaring back at the other.

"Then take care of it."

Rin shivered as he felt the bristles of the brush run through the short hair on his tail. He didn't know why, but the action was making him feel calm and rather relaxed. He opened his eyes, as it stopped and looked back, about to question why he stopped, and blinked, seeing the annoyed look on the others face. He looked over to the door and blushed, his brother standing in the doorway, staring at them, confused.

"A mission indeed," Yukio murmured, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"I can feed him before he goes off, can't I?" Mephisto asked, standing upright, putting his hands behind his back, slipping the brush, that Rin could now see was actually just a normal comb, up his sleeve, smiling once more.

"And you brushing his tail?"

"Whats wrong with a little demon to demon advice? Your brother doesn't take care of his tail, one of the most vulnerable spots for a demon, is it a problem that I care?"

"You caring is the problem. If it was someone else it'd be fine, but you... It's just not natural."

Mephisto let out a laugh and smiled wide gesturing out an arm to the food, "Would you like a bite to eat, Mr. Okumura?"

Yukio's eyes drifted to the food. His eyes spotted all sorts of demonic looking foods, making him blanch and shake his head, "I'll eat at home, thank you for the offer." Rin flinched slightly as his brother and him made eye contact. He could tell his younger brother wanted to say something, and almost urged him to do so, until he turned and headed out the door, closing it as he walked out.

Mephisto let out a soft snicker as he looked down at Rin, who was staring at the door, confused. "He ceases to amaze me," he murmured as the younger boy looked up.

"What do you mean?"

His head tilted to the side as he looked down at him, and smiled wide, "If you cannot see it, then I shall not say it."

Rin scowled, and looked down at the food, his hunger reminding him it was still there as his stomach growled. "Stupid clown," he grumbled, scooping something that looked like a fried pot-sticker onto his plate, and some of those noodles he had the other night he was here.

Mephisto looked to the side, towards the balcony, his eyes narrowing as he quickly walked over to it, exiting, and leaving Rin to grumble over his food. He closed the door behind him and tilted his head to the side, looking to Amaimon who was standing, slightly hunched, biting at his nail as he stared at Mephisto almost crazed. "Can't I fight him brother?" the green haired demon asked, widening his eyes a bit.

"No," Mephisto stated, sternly.

"Why not? All I want is a little fun," he stated, standing upright and leaning back on his heels, "Everything else is just boring... but him... I'd rather like to find his breaking point. Can I, brother? Can I find it?"

"He is mine," the other stated, possessively his smile widening.

Amaimon frowned, letting his hand drop as he stared at his brother, perplexed, "Why do you find him so interesting, brother? Why did father find him so interesting? All he is good for is a good flash of entertainment till he becomes useless."

Mephisto didn't answer, only shaking his head as he walked to the door, "Don't touch him," he sang, opening the door, and entering the office once again, closing the door behind him as he entered.

"Where did you go?" Rin asked, raising a brow, looking at him, curiously.

"Oh..." the principal shrugged slightly, "Just to deal with a pest problem."

The younger man raised a brow, but shrugged going back to the food, the older man sitting near him and eating slowly, keeping his eyes on the boy as he thought. He was beginning to think he'd have to keep a closer eye on Rin, despite the fact that he wanted to slowly reign him in. He didn't like this change in plan, but knew it was vital to winning the bet. If his brother got ahold of him, even if he didn't succeed in killing him, it would put a huge setback on his plans.

"I'm going to go to bed..."

Mephisto wrenched his thoughts in the back of his mind, looking to Rin once again, "Hm? Ah, alright." He stood up and walked to the door of his room, unlocking it and holding it open for the younger boy. He grinned to himself, proud of himself at the fact that he had gotten the younger demon to get him to the point where he accepted going to sleep in his bed. He marveled at the fact that it only took a few days to do so, and watched as the other set his sword down, pulled off his shoes and tie and curled up in the bed.

The older demon shook his head, walking over to him, and pulling the sheets out from under the other, despite his groans, and pulled it over him. The younger man opened his mouth to say something, but closed it, figuring that the other was just being nice, and closed his eyes. Mephisto smiled kindly and stepped back, stroking his beard. Whatever was about to come, it sure was going to be interesting...
