Chapter 4
Gehenna:
It was dark inside his room, blood red walls and a gigantic window made up the room. The blue moon was shining through the window, he walked hesitatingly. 'Why isn't she waking up' he thought to himself.
Beelzebub nocked on the door roughly three time her size, she knew her father liked to have things exaggerated but, he was only 2 metres why would he need a 6 meter big door she thought to herself, 'come in' she heard her father say. She entered the room she first saw Yuri still laying unconscious on her father's bed. Her father himself stood in front of the big triangle shaped window looking down at the biggest court yard.
'she isn't waking up' he said not showing any emotions what so ever.
'why is she even in Gehenna?' Beelzebub asked looking at Yuri.
'I need her to raise my heir' Satan said turning his head to Beelzebub.
'if she is only here to raise little brother why did you mark her?' .
'she cannot be killed, I need her to raise rin just the way I want it'. Satan said with an evil grimace.
'why don't you raise him yourself, I know you have raised Lucifer and he turned out pretty good?' Beelzebub looked questioning at her father.
'don't doubt my decisions ' Satan said now starting to get angry at Beelzebub.
'I am only saying that if you need a vessel in Assiah it would be better to influ..' Beelzebub was quickly stopped by a hellish pain surrounding her body.
'What did I tell you?' Satan said now walking to Beelzebub who was covered in his blue flames, first burning away her skin slowly but painfully.
'my apologies father I did not mean to upset you' Beelzebub said begging.
'I've been too soft around every one of you lately' Satan said now standing in front of Beelzebub.
The flames were still burning her, she screamed out in pain. 'Now don't scream you might wake up Yuri' Satan said sarcastically. Beelzebub fell to the ground crying in pain, the blue flames vanished and Satan grabbed her by her hair and spoke in a calm but cold voice. 'you are going to look after her while she is still asleep, understand?' ' and don't ever doubt my decisions '. he said as he let her fall to the ground, he left the room leaving her behind.
She was just laying on the ground in the now dark room, her cloths were covered in her own blood. Her skin was severely burned by the blue flames and blood was still pouring out of her fresh wounds. Her blood ruined the snow white tiles of the floor, forming dark red stains all over them. After fifteen minutes she had finally found the power in her sore body to raise herself of the ground. She just stood there watching at Yuri, her legs shaking because of her loss of blood and she couldn't see clearly, she managed to reach her own room before passing out again.
Assiah:
Shiro sat down in a big purple chair. He never understood why Mephisto loved this manga and anime crap. And even though he loved his stuff why did his office have to be pink and purple. Mephisto walked in with a Pink tray, he put it down right next to Shiro and sat down in an even bigger purple chair on the opposite side of the table.
'you were saying that those weren't Satan's blue flames?' Shiro said confused.
' My My Shiro just drink your tea and eat some of this delicious cake I brought you' Mephisto said.
'we don't have time for tea and cake! Those exorcist were murdered by blue flames, Satan's blue flames!' Shiro said starting to get a little bit pissed off.
'I already told you those weren't Satan's flames' Mephisto said sighing.
'WHAT DO YOU MEAN THOSE WEREN'T SATAN'S FLAMES!?, YOU THINK HIS 4 DAYS OLD SON DID IT!' Shiro said now very angry at Mephisto.
Mephisto just picked up his tea and took a sip before putting it back on the pink tray.
'there is no need to get all mad about it Shiro, if you'd just me explain this situation'.
'sure but don't expect me to be totally cool with everything you're going to tell me, since it probably involves demon stuff' Shiro said now a bit more calm.
'Let us begin' Mephisto said with an devilish grimace.
'When a High-class demon takes interest in someone, he or she will be very protective and will defend this person in any circumstance'.
' So that's why the Blue Night occurred?' Shiro said looking a bit confused
' well…well you are a fast learner Shiro!' Mephisto said jokingly.
'Just continue with you story please' Shiro said a sigh.
' owh my I almost forgot about it, what was a telling you about?' .
'about demons and defending people the like' Shiro said rolling his eyes.
' oh Yes! I remember, well let me continue! As I already told you demons protect those who they like, and since Satan likes Miss Egin, he has probably already marked her'.
'And what does marking mean?' Shiro said desperately wanting to know the answer.
' well we demons must respect our vows, we can't simply break them like humans can'.
'What does this marking stuff have to do with Yuri?'.
' Now Shiro I was just about to tell you if you'd just let me finish my small explanation'.
' Yuri has already been marked I can tell you, you see when a strong demon makes a vow there is always something behind it. And probably she has accepted his offer to live with him till death them part.'
'So when Yuri dies the vow ends?' Shiro said trying to understand what Mephisto was saying.
'oh my if it only was that simple! Satan doesn't want Yuri to die so he probably changed her into a demon as well.'
'WHAT!?' Shiro yelled angrily.
'HOW DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE, NOBODY HAS SEEN HER EVER SINCE SHE DISAPPEARED!'
'As I already told you those weren't Satan's flames, to transform someone into a demon without being born a demon you need a lot of demons to get that much power. My guess is that when Yuri was going to get marked by him, he invited all the noble demons from Gehenna to harvest their souls and use them to make Yuri a Demon.'
'So you are telling me she is probably a demon now?' Shiro said sad and disappointed, he hoped there was still some hope left for one of his best friends.
'normally a person would directly transform into a demon but I doubt this is the case, you see since Yuri was able to withstand Satan's Flames her body might have reacted differently. My guess is that her soul was searching for human souls to keep her human soul intact. And if I am right she will probably be a half-demon right know, so she isn't totally lost' Mephisto said with a small but forced smile on his face.
'well that explains the flames, if you say those weren't Satan's flames but Yuri trying to keep her human soul intact I have no other option then to believe you' Shiro said. He sounded depressed and defeated , he had hoped that he could somehow save her from Satan. But now that she is half Demon she won't be able to be accepted in Assiah anymore. Even though Shiro would do anything for Yuri, he knew he couldn't.
' now don't be so sad Shiro, she is somewhere save, somewhere where she won't be judged for having a relationship with the lord of evil. And since even Satan can't break his vows she won't be killed. I am sure she is alright' Mephisto said with a little but honest smile, something you would rarely see.
'and I don't want to be rude or anything Shiro but don't you have her other son to look after?' Mephisto said suddenly.
' Shit! I almost forgot about him! I haven't slept well in the last few days. He cries every night and day and I don't understand there is nothing that could make him cry!' Shiro said realising something he had missed.
'unless he has received a Mashou from his birth, is such thing even possible?'
' of course it is!, even though relations between human and demons are rare there are some children that have received a Mashou from birth'.
' so that' why it was crying all the time, he wasn't trying to smash the shadows of flies but those of coaltars!'
'You can use this key to get home, since I have already hold you here long enough for today' Mephisto said handing him a golden key.
' thank You Mephisto, and please do inform me if something happens with Yuri, even though she is with Satan I still care for her'.
'of course I will! And now hurry up you have a baby to take care of!' Mephisto said pushing Shiro through the door slamming It behind him.
Gehenna
Yuri Pov:
My body and mind seemed different than before, I felt stronger but at the same time weaker. I opened my eyes and looked at a marine blue ceiling with golden chandeliers both lit by blue flames. Where was I? this room is very different from the room I stayed in before, this room was decorated with beautiful red and gold walls and to the left of me was a very big triangular window, about three times as high as me. I tried to get up but before I could even move my hand the door was opened. Two people walked in one with short red hair and red pupils, his pupils almost resembled flames. The other one was a short men , or should I say guy, with short silver hair.
I looked at them and just when they were about to say something I heard footsteps approaching from the hallway. After only three seconds Satan entered the room and again when I was about to say something he was already talking to the two men in front of me.
'you've did well my sons' He said and an evil grimace appeared on his face, 'you are now dismissed'.
The two men left the room and closed the door behind them. 'When then I see you have finally awoken' Satan said walking to the king-sized bed I was laying on. 'Yes but only three minutes ago, so I am still a bit sleepy' I said with a warm smile. 'I wasn't talking about sleeping' Satan said sounding very serious. 'don't you feel stronger perhaps?' Satan said. 'now that you mention it when I woke up I felt stronger than I did before, but I guessed it had to do with the birth of Rin and Yukio'. 'this has nothing to do with our children, this is all about you'. Satan said starting to sound very threatening.
'I have transformed you into a demon' He said coldly not regretting a single word.
I was shocked hearing those words, ' YOU DID WHAT TO ME'! I sad screaming in anger and confusion.
' oh my dear Yuri' Satan said calmly.
' I have only done what I have promised you, haven't I?' He said almost as if I had always wanted to be a demon.
' I have never wished to be a demon!, just because I fell in love with you doesn't mean I want to be like you!'
' we have promised each other something, haven't we?' Satan said changing the subject.
' I have marked you, and you didn't bother to agree with the condition that were involved' Satan said
' Do you mean our we…wedding?' I said trying to hold back all my tears of anger, confusion and sadness.
'no I mean your marking, you assumed it was a wedding so I asked Amaimon to go and look at a wedding so we could reproduce that in Gehenna' Satan said as if I had forced him to marry me.
When I was about to speak up he continued his story.
' A marking is when a Demon choses a mate, in this case we already have a child so technically you are already my mate. When a demon chooses a mate he will become very protective not wanted to let him or her die. That's why I spoke the so called 'marriage vow'.
' What does the marriage vow had to do with all of this! , so I won't die because you have marked me! Then why did you change me into a demon!' I said starting to lose my temper.
' you promised me ' till death do us part' and I promised you, and since I don't want you to die because we have a child to raise I made this vow eternally'.
'you…you changed me into a de…demon so that I wouldn't die?' i said sobbing, I couldn't hold back my tears.
'I…I wasn't done ex…' Satan said mumbling. Before he could even finish his sentence i jumped up from the big bed and hugged him tightly, crying in his chest. 'Why are you crying?, you are mad at me right for turning you into someone like me?. Satan said surprised by the sudden change in my reaction. 'I was but…but you changed me so I wouldn't die and that we could raise Rin… and that's not bad at all' I said and a small smile appeared on my face.
'you should get some rest, you still have to train your new body and give it a lot of rest' Satan said putting me down on the bed again.
Just before he was about to rise I kissed his cheek, He blushed slightly but before I could even thank him he spoke to me one more time before leaving the big room.
'I cannot be nice to you all the time, just because you are a demon now doesn't mean you are a full demon you still have some humanity left. And some demons will not accept that there new 'queen' used to be a human. But when we are alone we'll be able to communicate normally, like we are used to'.
I nodded and let out a small sigh, he left the room saying that I had to take some rest.
I had done nothing else these past days but this time it was the first time I was able to sleep comfortably. Just thinking about what had happened in the past week and thinking about how It changed my life.
With that thought I fell asleep only to be wakened by something moving next to me about five hours later.
I woke up when a dim light was shining through the curtains. I let out a big yawn and opened my eyes. I got out of my bed and walked to the little bed where rin was laying. And there he was my little baby boy. I took him out of his bed an held him in my arms without waking him. I turned around to walk back to my bed. When I heard someone talking behind me.
'you aren't supposed to be out of bed, you still have to rest'.
I was shocked, I didn't see anyone standing in the room just a minute ago, I slowly turned around to see who was talking to me.
'you scared me there' I said relieved by the sight of Beelzebub, well at least I think it is her name.
'Wat happened to you?' I asked worried, her skin was full of burns, and her there were bruises all over her body, she looked like she had been beaten up.
'you aren't supposed to be out of bed, you still have to rest' she repeated with a cold but threatening voice.
'I…I was just getting Rin to see if he was alright' I said a bit scared about the determination in her voice.
'My orders are clear and you need to rest' She said almost forcing me to lay down on the bed.
'Who gave you these orders! I am fine! I don't want to lay down all day!' I said trying to convince her.
'Father gave me the orders to give you enough rest and to teach you about Gehenna, and I won't disobey him again'. I could see the anger in her eyes boiling as she spoke to me.
'Satan did this to you?!' I said in shock, the Satan I knew would never hurt me let alone his own children.
'I deserved it , I disobeyed him and this was my punishment'.
'I am s…sorry' I let out a small sigh. I obeyed her and lay down on my bad. Holding Rin in my arms, trying to comfort him.
Assiah
Shiro pov:
'so that's what you've been scared of!' I said looking at the window, you could still see the sun a bit but it was getting darker every minute. And Mephisto was right Yukio could see the Coaltars, well their shadows , which means he had received a Mashou from child birth.
How am I going to explain to him that he can see things other people can't. I said to myself, unless!
A solution came to my mind, I don't think Yuri would like it though, but it would be the best for the kid to know the truth about demons and how to exorcise them.
Hey guys! I am back, I am sorry I didn't update the story but school has already started so I've got a lot of homework to do. I also received some reviews from people who said they didn't like the story for various reasons but I am still going to continue this story because other people( including me and one of my best friends) do like the story. Btw I'll uploading once a week( on Saturday or Sunday probably) due to school work and studying. ;)
