Angelic Vengeance
Chapter 6: Rohsarra
Morning, all you amazing peoples! I'm so sorry about this being so late! Anyways, I'm sorry if in this chapter I offend any religious people (Seriously, I'm so sorry if I offend you! I needed a way to somehow fit this properly in the story :P), cursing is included, and a little bit of sadness too! You have been warned!
The day I own Blue Exorcist would be the day when Alias stopped being strange XD
Kuro nervously paced on the pink, fluffy carpet of Mephisto's room while terrible echoes of pain prickled in his blood.
It must have had something to do with Rin, the cat sidhé decided, settling to lie down as the pain became increasingly worse.
You see, familiars establish a bond with their owners that tells them their current condition, their emotions, and the like. The closer the pair was, the stronger the bond would get. Rin and Kuro were very close, and so the bond was very strong. It tied them together, and so Kuro could always tell if his friend was okay.
But, during the last few weeks, after Rin had been given to the Vatican by his 'friends' (Kuro mentally hissed the word as his face became sour), every day he couldn't do much, since all he could sense was the pain, the starvation, the sadness, the loneliness, and the like. Mephisto did seem slightly worried about it, but Kuro always assured him that it was nothing. Rin wouldn't have wanted anyone to worry about him, and the Demon King wouldn't have been able to do much about the situation anyways.
And so, it was while he was laying on the ground, that the strong bond that connected the two was suddenly severed with a flash of white and gold.
"RIIIIIN!" Yowled Kuro, jumping up and rushing out of the room to Mephisto's office, zipping around the older demon while yowling and crying Rin's name in a panic.
The powerful demon got to his feet, abandoning his paperwork, and worriedly addressed the cat demon.
"Kuro, are you alright? And what's this about Rin?"
Ukobach also abandoned his post at the microwave preparing instant ramen for Mephisto, and rushed over to try and calm down the hysterical Kuro, who was now sobbing on the floor.
"It's... It's gone!" Wailed Kuro, hopelessly staring at Mephisto.
"What is?"
"My bond with Rin!"
They all became silent after that, and the other two demons donned a look of horror.
"He... He's dead!?" Exclaimed the demon king
"Worse!"
"What could possibly be worse than that!?" Asked Mephisto, who was now crouching beside the sobbing cat sidhé.
"He's in- in-" Kuro took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to say.
"He's in Rohsarra!"

When Rin woke up, the first thing he thought was 'Am I dead?'
Of course, this was thought with justice. The warm, fluffy thing encompassing him felt like he imagined a cloud to feel, like quilt weaved out of cotton and warmth and pure happiness. No exaggeration. It was litterally like swimming in an relaxing ocean of serenity.
"WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR AT NINE IN THE MOOOORNING!"
Well, there goes the serenity.
"AHHHH!" Screamed Rin, after being rudely awoken from his peaceful rest and springing out of the bed, flapping his arms about like a demented windmill. Well, who could blame him?
"Le gasp! He's awake! SPAZLETH, WAFER, GET YOUR LOUSY ASS ASSES IN HERE RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT YOU ANGRY LITTLE PIECES OF SHIT!" Screamed the same, slightly multi-toned voice that had been screeching a god forsaken song at...
...Rin was going to guess nine in the morning.
He settled into a defensive stance and raised his hands in front of his face when, suddenly, the beaming face of a girl in her late teens appeared right in front of him.
"So, sleeping beauty finally awoke from her rest!" Chuckled the girl, and Rin squeaked and jumped back again.
The female was very busty (which reminded Rin of someone, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it...) and lithe, and her figure was clad in a skintight, black shirt that stopped before her belly button, a short, black plaid skirt that had two large belts keeping it up, and wore combat boots with neon laces on her feet. She had long, waist length blonde hair with shimmering silver streaks, predominantly a silver patch smack dab on her forehead in the shape of a diamond.
She was also taller than him by about four inches, with him only being about five foot eight.
Goddamn it.
Next, he examined the room he was in, in case he needed to fight the strange girl and his surroundings would put him at a disadvantage.
He was in a white, dome like room, with a high ceiling and pillars spread evenly across them. The bed that he had been sleeping in was also white, and downy sheets covered its surface, (which explained why it felt so good and soft and nice) had five other identical ones placed in equal distances across the room, although they were all unoccupied. Tables were placed next to the beds, covered in medical equipment such as bandages, disinfectant, and various tools a doctor would've had a field day with (These observations made it clear that he was in some sort of infirmary). The double doors that were decorated in detailed cherubs and herbs had been slammed open, no doubt by the blonde haired girl that was in the room with him, and led to a gold, white, and light brown hallway beyond.
"H-hey! I'm not a girl! Don't call me that!" He yelled at her, pointing an accusing finger at the amused girl, while his tail lashed out behind him.
Wait a minute...
...tail!?
He yelped and hurriedly hid his tail under his new white shirt, sending pulsing pain across it, after which he found that his chest was wrapped with many bandages, and stared at the amused girl in horror.
She had seen his tail, no doubt! She was staring at it when he had shoved it under his shirt, so she could obviously see demons. Now, she would beat him up and give him to some scientists who wanted to experiment on him, just like... Like...
Who?
Rin suddenly stopped, and stared confusedly at the wall, completely disregarding the blonde girl who now seemed kind of pissed at being ignored, and bit his lip in concentration. Who had done that again? All Rin could really remember at the moment was being experimented on by scientists. Everything before that was just... Blank. He knew about demons, humans, exorcists, how he was the son of Satan, but he didn't exactly know how he knew these things. Which really freaked him out.
"Um... Are you going to kill me for being a demon?" Questioned Rin, once again staring at the girl. She blinked owlishly for a moment, and then started to laugh raucously, her green eyes swimming with tears and holding her aching stomach.
"Pfffft HAHAHAH, are you dumb, Okumura-chan?" She asked, giggling and wiping her eyes. "In case you haven't noticed, this girl's got a tail as well!" At that, Rin gaped at the reptilian tail with a spade shaped tip at the end waving innocently behind the girl, too dumbstruck to react to her 'dumb' comment.
"You... You're a half demon too!?"
"No, she's a full fledged, extremely irritating, and devious demon. I would advise taking a step back from her, she may taint your innocence." Said a low, baritone voice in a pissed off tone, that accompanied a raven haired, dark blue eyed guy, also in his late teens, (looking to be about nineteen) who walked in through the open doors, followed by a young, eleven year old girl with long white hair and ruby eyes.
"Gyahahah, Spazleth, you're a fucking asshole!" The blonde girl laughed, pointing at, who he presumed, was 'Spazleth'.
"Why are you laughing?" Growled 'Spazleth'.
"Because I'm happy, you prick! Okumura-chan is awake~!" She said in a singsong voice, prancing around the medical room and jumping on beds and tables like it was completely normal to do so.
What... The... Fuck?
"You two, stop it! You're scaring Okumura-san!" Yelled the small white haired girl, who had put her hands on her hips and was glaring at the other two in the room, while Rin just kind of stood there, confused.
The other two shivered in fear, and ceased goofing off in favour of standing rigidly still.
"Um..." Rin said, still completely confused by whatever the heck was going on.
"I'm very sorry about Azleth and Alias' behaviours-" a glare was sent to the two, who were apparently not called 'Spazleth' and 'Blonde girl'. "-but they mean well, honest! Anyways, the two idiots over there are Azleth and Alias, they have some pointless rivalry thing going on." The sounds of the two rivals squawking that it was not stupid and that they were rivals for good reasons filled the room.
"Oh yes, I'm Aros, it's nice to meet you! Before you ask, no, you are not in Gehenna or in any immediate danger, and no, I'm not a girl."
Rin spluttered and blushed in embarrassment as Aros told him this, not realizing that he was a guy (nobody would've, goddamnit!), and then realizing that he hadn't even once asked himself where he was.
The thought spurred him back into cautious defence mode, and he took a step back. One of these three people was a demon, and he didn't have a doubt in his mind that at least one of the other ones was also a spawn of Gehenna. Not to mention, for them to bring him here and heal him, they must have a reason.
"Why am I here?" Rin questioned, wary of the three strange people.
"Because of the motherfucking magical rhino that feasts on tacos and shit while rolling around like on the ground like a certain mentally deranged Spazleth. We fucking rescued you, Okumura-chan! Jeez, would you rather go back to that laboratory and get tested on more? What are you, a masochist?" Asked Alias, who grumpily folded her arms, but smiled as Azleth started yelling obscenities at her.
"Don't be rude Alias, it's reasonable for him to be alarmed. Now, Okumura-san, why don't we explain all that's happened while we show you around?" Aros asked, to which Rin cautiously nodded. He wasn't going to get anywhere at this point, and he needed answers.
"Great, follow us!" The white haired boy cheered happily, and then all of them followed along in a small parade like procession.
LINELINELINELINELINELINE
"Hmmm, where to start Okumura-san? Well, I guess we should start by telling you where you are. At the moment, we are in a place called Rohsarra, which is the Assiahn equivalent to heaven. You see, instead of the way that exorcists see it, as simply two worlds, Assiah and Gehenna as mirror worlds, it is actually more of a three dimensional triangle, as we see it. There is Gehenna, the world, or, more appropriately, dimension of chaos, Assiah, the desirable mortal world that many a creature seek to make their own, Rohsarra, the heavenly dimension, and Limbo, the place where the deceased souls of demons and angels go to rest in the infinite blackness forever.
As you already know about Assiah and Gehenna, I will instead mostly explain to you Rohsarra. We are the world of which is governed by order and peace, but we regularly go to Assiah to aid in the fight against demons. This is a world where, originally Arasenfou, better known as angels, or 'Tenshi' in your native language, reside.
You may be familiar with the concept of heaven and Gods, but I assure you, humans got the tales a little mixed up. In the beginning, all of the worlds did not have any contact with each other whatsoever, except if you count Limbo, therefore God, the main ruler here, did not really create any creatures other than the ones that reside in this land. But when the other worlds did become accessible, the mind bending angels of Rohsarra found the humans' lack of knowledge about the gods that they served under absolutely disgraceful. Therefore, they did what they did best and force fed them the knowledge of their gods, with a few twists to make them more integrated into human society, into the humans' minds. Someone that we know very well was one of these, actually. He served directly under God, the strongest of gods and the ruler of Rohsarra, and it left quite an impact on the human society, as you can probably tell.
Anyways, before, before Rohsarra had a huge hatred for demons. Actually, to the demons of Gehenna we are still thought of to be ruthless killers of demons! Anyways, one day, a demon had prayed to God with determination, and only the best of intentions, in mind. She had never wished to be part of an evil and corrupt society, led by an evil King. She had wanted to make a difference in the world, to protect the humans that she so cherished. God heard her pleas and answered to them, sending out a few angels to retrieve a demon and bring her to Rohsarra. They did so, and she spoke with God. He realized that what she said was true, and the demon had swiftly accustomed to the systems here.
Years later, after joining a group of angelic demon hunters, the demon had proposed something that had originally sounded preposterous. She had proposed for demon hunters to be recomposed as, instead of solely destroying demons, rescuing the good and well meaning demons, half demons, and half angels, who used to be seen as somewhat of a disgrace to Rohsarra, from being killed by the recently composed exorcists who were rapidly growing in power.
To the angels' horror, God eagerly accepted the proposition. But, soon, the angels grew to accept and, more importantly, thoroughly agree with these terms. We are demon hunters, Okumura-san, and that is why we rescued you and why you are here." Aros finished as they made their way out of the large, gold and white castle that they were in. Rin nodded, enraptured by the tale, while Azleth nodded his confirmation to the story and Alias grinned.
"Heheh, yup~! Pretty cool, eh? Aros is a good story teller!" Grinned Alias, while snickering. Aros blushed in embarrassment from that comment while Azleth scowled moodily. He didn't know why, but that action kind of reminded Rin of someone. It was at the tip of his tongue, but Rin just couldn't remember!
"Yeah. Y'know, the demon who made that impact in a place like this must've been awesome!" Rin exclaimed, the familiarity of the grumpy gesture already pushed to the back of his mind.
Alias quickly grinned as the small group came to a standstill, leaning against the wrought iron railing of the stone bridge that they had found theirselves on, after walking out of the massive white and gold castle that looked as if it would've been in a fairy tail, with all of it's impressive spires and many rooms. Unfortunately, they never really explored it, instead opting to let Rin enjoy the sunny outside world with forests of birch trees with golden leaves and many creatures that varied from demons to, what he supposed, were creatures from heaven.
"Kekeke, yup! She's an awesome demon! And she can totally kick your ass any day!" Giggled Alias, showing off her oddly human teeth.
"Yeah right! How would you know that any ways?" Asked Rin, also reclining on the railing beside the blonde demon. He was beginning to warm up to her, as she was very easy to get along with, not to mention pretty cool.
"That's cause I know her! Haha, she's a real badass!" She said confidently, and Azleth and Aros facepalmed in the background.
"Eh, really?! You've got to take me to meet her!" Exclaimed Rin excitedly, his once again free tail waving happily around in the air behind him.
"Kekeke, it seems that you already have!"
"Huh? What're you talking about?"
Alias' eyes sparkled triumphantly as she stood up and struck a pose, making a peace sign while grinning a Cheshire Cat grin.
"Haha, I am Alias, or the 'demon of a thousand names' as some call me, and I'm the most badass shapeshifter in all of existence! I was also the first demon to be accepted into angel society, the one who made the proposition to protect the good demons and halfies, and, finally, a faithful member of the Triple A Batteries! Fuck yeah, bitches!" She said triumphantly.
Rin, obviously, was quite astounded at that and completely fanboyed, while a ruby eyed half demon and a blue eyed angel sat and watched the spectacle.
"What!? How was a nineteen year old like you able to do that!?" Rin said with true curiosity, while Alias' grin became wider.
"Ohohoho, I am a LOT older than nineteen, Okumura-chan!" She giggled, waving a finger at him.
"Oh yeah? Then how old are you?" Challenged Rin, also pointing a finger at her.
A smirk was then plastered on the shapeshifter's face as she said without hesitation "I'm seven thousand four hundred and sixty three years old."
Rin just stood there for a second before exclaiming "You're lying! There's no way!"
"Actually, she is that old." Azleth said.
"WHAT!?"
"Pffft, don't make that face! I'll have you know that Azleth and Aros are older than me!"
Rin stared incredulously at the other two on the bridge, gaping at the two.
"Then how old are these guys!?"
Aros chuckled before saying "Ten thousand nine hundred and forty two years old."
Azleth grumbled out after Aros "Eleven thousand two hundred and twenty years old."
To say Rin was shocked was an understatement. These three beings that didn't even look (or act, really.) much older than him! It was hurting his head, to be honest. He knew that demons could regenerate and stuff, which would in turn make them less susceptible to aging, and it must've been the same with angels, but still!
As Rin was kind of just standing there, shocked, Alias began talking again.
"Heheh, anyways! I think we should go introduce Okumura-chan to God! He was really excited to meet him. I actually thought some little shit had went and brought him coffee from Assiah or some shit like that, but I told him that he needed to calm the actual fuck down and then proceeded to tell him that Okumura-chan was out cold, and would be for a couple of days. He's really impatient right now and I feel for the poor souls that have to deal with him right now. 'Merciful God' my ass, that son of a bitch can be annoying as fuck when he's impatient."
"Shut up, don't speak of Him in such a manner, you stupid demon!" Yelled Azleth, deftly pointing at the demon girl as she smirked at the uptight angel, but then rounded back to the stunned son of Satan.
"And, by the way Okumura-chan, you can't refuse. You need to see God right away."
Rin looked at the way he was dressed (in sweatpants and a T shirt (they must've stripped him while he was asleep oh my god that was a creepy thought)) and at his current hairstyle (it was very long now, easily reaching past his shoulder blades, and tangled as hell, and was it a lighter colour than before!?), deciding that it could probably wait until he was at least cleaned up first.
Alias saw the face he was making, and promptly smirked.
"Okumura-chan, you can't refuse God's orders. After all-" Alias' eyes suddenly became heterochromatic, one red and one gold, oozing with an intimidating aura "-his orders are absolute."
Everyone kind of just stared at Alias and her weird eyes for a moment, before she shifted them back and laughed, grabbing the eldest Okumura twin's wrist and dragging him to the castle.
"...hey, nii-san? Do you have any idea what that was about?"
"Aros, the day that Alias' enigmas would be figured out would be on the same day when Zeus would stop being a cheating asshole."
"...I see your point."
MAPLEBROWNSUGAROATMEALISGOODLOL
God sat majestically on his throne, looking regal, important, diplomatic, and, most importantly, caring and open to anyone.
Which was quite a feat, considering he was extremely impatient and bored. And splayed out on his red and gold throne while playing Zelda on his DS.
Yes, God had a DS. It was a gold one too, matching most of the magnificent room he was situated in alone. Yup, alone. All of his angelic subjects had recently gotten fed up with his annoying, bored antics that usually involved embarrassing and pranking them. Hey, just because he was God didn't mean he didn't have any humour! Unfortunately, most angels were pretty serious and humourless, which made the ruler of Rohsarra wonder where he went wrong creating the beings. Well, at least he had his demonic subjects! Most of them were pretty good at taking a joke, and a few brave ones even pranked him back!
Of course, that wasn't always a good thing. He still remembered when Alias gave him a 'candy apple' for Halloween, which actually turned out to be a caramel covered onion stuffed with garlic, hot sauce, cherry flavoured Halls cough drops, and, finally, a ton of cinnamon.
Needless to say, after since that incident he never ate anything with the newly pronounced 'unholy' spice that was cinnamon.
But Alias was still his favourite.
I mean, seriously, how could anyone possibly hate her? The demon was, quite frankly, the awesomest person you would ever meet. She was the first person he had the pleasure to meet that was actually fun, and, although at first she was surprised by his childishness and mischievousness, extremely soon came to fully accept the way that he was and became one of his best informants, and the first person he would turn to in any sort of situation. What was it that Assiahns called it again? Ah, yes, 'best friends'.
Soon after these musings, the huge doors leading to his throne room were opened and a certain shapeshifting demon marched in, dragging with her a navy haired kid that was dressed in a rather unceremonious way.
He chuckled at her bright face. Speak of the devil, and she shall appear.
"Mooooooorning God! How are you today?"
God radiantly smiled as he shut his DS and sat up properly, setting the Nintendo (oh, bless their hearts, he loves them all. Except for the one that had the idea of WiiU) device on the armrest of his throne.
"Ah, I'm very bored Ali. Who's that behind you?" He asked, rising from his seat to meet the demon.
"This is Rin Okumura! I'm still getting used to the weird Japanese thing that you call people by their last name all of the time, but whatever! I know you had wanted to see him, and you become terribly annoying when you're waiting or impatient."
He ignored her annoying comment (unfortunately, he had to admit it was true) and walked forward to properly see Rin. God had to say, the son of Satan wasn't what he had been expecting. The boy was on the smaller side, probably about eight inches shorter than God himself, and on the skinnier side, but was still somewhat muscled.
Rin was also taken off guard by God's appearance. He was kind of expecting an old man with a bushy beard that exuded wisdom, definitely not what looked to be a twenty year old man with messy hair and warm eyes the colour of the sun, slightly tanned skin, and with an army green jacket that's collar was lined with fur, casual blue denim jeans, and bare feet who played Zelda on a gold DS.
Well then.
"Hm, so you're the infamous Rin, the son of my sworn enemy." God said, and then smiled happily "Holy crap, Satan's going to be pissed!" He started to chuckle, and ruffled the blue hair of the dumbstruck teen.
"Don't worry kid, you're in safe hands. We won't let anyone hurt you while you're in Rohsarra, be certain of that. Anyways, why don't you tell us all of what had went on before the Triple A team brought you up here?"
Rin stood still for a moment, thinking, before he started fiddling with the hem of his shirt and told them "Well, I was being experimented on in that lab, as you probably know, but, uh, I can't really, you know, remember anything before that." He finished, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head.
Suddenly, Alias' face formed into one of true rage and she screamed "AZLETH YOU MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE!" Before running out of the room, leaving Rin and God with each other.
They stared at each other for a moment, while Rin felt oddly at ease, before the ruler of Rohsarra grinned and said "Wanna play on the Xbox with me?"
Needless to say, the second youngest son of Satan and God had a good time playing Call of Duty while Alias, Aros, and Azleth freaked out trying to find them.
OH MY GOD I AM SO SORRY THAT THIS CAME OUT SO LATE AAAAARGGG. Seriously, I am so freaking sorry! I have had a terrible week :( but anyways, the chapter is out! :D
Ok, first thing, I love God's personality so much XD I really like to create characters that are really out of the ordinary and have personalities that you wouldn't expect, therefore God is a hardcore gamer that enjoys pranks and mischief! Don't worry, though. When God wants to get serious, shiz goes down. Unfortunately, no new OCs were introduced this chapter (besides God), but I included Kuro, Mephisto, and Ukobach! Hope you liked that little scene there!
Anyways, now I'm going to respond to reviews! I'm doing it with my other story, and it makes me feel closer to all of you, so here it goes!
the unknown assassin: THANK YOU FOR FORGIVING ME! I'm so forgetful sometimes :P. Yup, the Vatican is going to flip out! I might put that in next chapter, actually!
UnicornWithABananaHorn: YAAAAAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW! Crazy stuff, my friend. For example, we found out that the Triple A Batteries are basically ancient and that God has tried the cinnamon challenge XD Hope that you liked this chapter!
Kanrei: Yup. Heheh, I'm so evil ;) Actually, I think Kazuya is okay with killing Rin, though! Yay villainous-but-not-completely-evil-characters!
HeavensLuminousArc: Okay, thank you so much for telling me that! I would hate for me to get his character wrong. I know, Yukio is kind of a douche in this XD I actually forgot to add in Kuro's perspective of this, so when you posted that review, I was all like 'OH NO I FORGOT' and immediately thought of ways to add him!
SheikahZangetsu: Thank you so much! You have no idea how much it means to me that you like the story so far! I hope this chapter was up to par!
Mew SunsetStar: thank you, I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for telling me Keiko's status, and the mission is kind of one of those 'experience' missions that they take Exwires on, just to clear that up! In the next chapter, I'll explain how and why the bond broke with both Kuro and Yukio, so no need to worry!
AwokenPsycho: THANK YOU! It's no problem about the villain, she was really fun to write! Here's the next chapter, and I'm so sorry it was out so late!
Anyways, thank you for reading, and I hope that you liked it! This is ChrystalDragoness, over and out!
(P.S, if any of you catch the reference in this chapter, put it in the reviews! I'll give you a shout out and a cookie in the next chapter!)
