Amaimon fell onto one of the Gehenna hills, landing next to Behemoth and the still unconscious and bloodied Rin.
Thump... Thump... Thump...
Amaimon picked Rin up and hauled him over his shoulder. Behemoth took the sword and they walked towards Satan's "castle" in silence.
What was there to say?
On the way there though, Amaimon met one of his brothers, Lucifer.
"Hello there Amaimon, who is that?" Lucifer asked. Amaimon slightly glared at him and continued walking, but answered him anyways.
"He is Rin Okumura, otherwise known as our half-brother." Amaimon said. Lucifer blinked in confusion.
"Ah.. So Satan's offspring. Why is he all beat up?" He asked once again.
"Because I defeated him." Almost immediately laughter erupted from Lucifer. Amaimon stopped walking and narrowed his eyes angrily to the ground in front of him.
"You defeated him?! All by yourself?! Hahahaha, that was a good one Amaimon!" Lucifer laughed.
Thump.. Thump.. Thump..
"I'm not joking Lucifer, you could even ask nii-san. He may not have shown himself, but I'm pretty sure he was watching. Now, I have to go to father's castle." Amaimon said, slight anger in his voice.
He absolutely HATES to be laughed at, but he knows that he cannot win a fight against Lucifer.
"Yeah, right." Lucifer snorted before continuing to walk where he was going. Amaimon's eye twitched in intense anger, but he was able to keep his composure. Behemoth glanced to it's master before continuing to walk.
Amaimon had received weird looks from the other demons, but he ignored them. He had a job to do and he wasn't about to get off track by getting into a fight.
Eventually, he had reached his father's castle. It was a gruesome looking castle, with sharp stones and souls floating around. Satan keeps souls of those he's killed around his castle as guards and we all know what the sharp stones are for.
Amaimon pushed open one of the metal, dungeon looking doors and stepped inside the castle.
There were eight floors, each one belonging to a demon prince. It was organized by rank. Amaimon held his expressionless look on his face and began to walk up the steps towards the very last floor. By now, Rin was starting to wake up.
The minute Rin woke up, he felt intense pain in his stomach, side, back, and head. Rin tried his best not to scream, or move for that matter, since he realized he was being carried somewhere. Memories of what happened flooded his mind and he let realization dawn on him.
Amaimon... Gehenna... Rank... He was in Gehenna now because Amaimon defeated him with his own sword to raise his rank! It all makes sense now...
"I know you are awake Rin. No need to try and pretend." Amaimon said in his usual emotionless voice.
"How did you know?" Rin asked, his voice hoarse.
"I didn't." Amaimon smirked for a second. "But now I do. Welcome to our fathers castle." Amaimon continued as he stopped in front of a pair of large doors.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
"S-Satan...?" Rin whispered. Amaimon ignored him and opened the doors. Evil laughter soon followed.
"Welcome Amaimon, and my dear son. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Once Yukio got a hold of himself, he quickly rushed to Mephisto's office in anger.
If only Mephisto had gotten rid of the thing, none of this would have happened.
On the way there, Yukio had literally crashed into his class.
"Huh? Okumura-sensei? What are you in a rush for?" Konekomaru asked as he rubbed his head in slight pain.
"Amaimon took Rin to Gehenna!" Yukio said and continued to run to Mephisto's office.
"WHAT?!" The whole class shouted and started to follow Yukio.
Yukio broke down Mephisto's door to see him already standing up. "Ah, Yukio, I had a feeling you would have come here." Mephisto said with a grin. Yukio glared at him.
"If you knew what was happening, why didn't you stop them?!" Yukio yelled at him. Mephisto chuckled.
"I had to see which one of our brothers would have won." He answered calmly.
"Wait, OUR brothers? You mean to tell me you are related to them?!" Bon yelled in shock/confusion and looked between Yukio and Mephisto. They looked nothing alike...
"Yes, Suguro-kun, Okumura-sensei is my little half-brother. But that's not really important right now is it?" Mephisto said, his grin widening.
"Wait, Sir Pheles, what exactly happened?" Shiemi asked, her face saddened slightly. She had thought Amaimon was a good demon... One of the few you thought you'd never see. To hear he took Rin, her best friend... It was sad.
"Well, you see... Amaimon was wanting to get stronger and raise his rank. As most of you know, there are the 8 demon princes of Gehenna. Amaimon is ranked 7th strongest, and he was tired of being so low. So, the answer to that was to defeat Satan's offspring." Mephisto smirked. "Amaimon's plan was to win Rin's trust so it would be easier to defeat him, and it worked. He also used a distraction-" Mephisto glanced to Yukio. "-to steal Rin's sword and use it against him. That was successful also. I must admit, I'm quite surprised that Amaimon was able to get so far in his plan." He finished.
"... So you knew that guy was here this whole time?" Shima asked in confusion.
"Of course, I was the one who let him in." Mephisto said.
"What?! You let a demon prince inside the academy?!" Everyone excluding Yukio and Mephisto shouted once again.
"Yes, I did. It doesn't matter anymore, what's done is done." Mephisto said nonchalantly.
"Well, we're going to get him right?" Shiemi asked. Everyone turned to Mephisto questioningly.
"I don't know why you're looking at me like that. I can't bring you to Gehenna."
"Don't act like that. We all received spirit wounds, we all know that you're a demon." Izumo said bravely.
Mephisto laughed and smirked again. "Just because I'm a demon doesn't mean that I can automatically bring humans, much less exorcists, to Gehenna. Everyone would be trying to kill you guys, and I'm not exactly welcome there at the moment." He said with a shrug.
"Well, are we seriously just going to let him die?!" Yukio exclaimed. "He's my brother, I'm NOT just going to let him die at the hands of Satan."
"Well Okumura-sensei, what do you suggest we do then?" Mephisto asked. Yukio fell silent, thinking of what they could possibly do.
How will we do this? Mephisto isn't welcome in Gehenna, and he is the only one who can summon a Gehenna Gate... We are exorcists, so we won't be welcome there... Maybe...
"How about you let me go?" Yukio suggested, his eyes meeting Mephisto's. Mephisto chuckled.
"I see... You want to go in because you're also a demon, and you'll be 'welcome'... Sure, that will work." Mephisto said and smiled evilly when Yukio widened his eyes in panic.
You dumbass don't say that in front of them!
Well, the class didn't miss that detail and immediately looked to their teacher in disbelief.
"What? You're a demon too?! I thought you said that you went through checks every day, yet you were still human!" Bon yelled at him. Yukio looked down for a second before his eyes hardened in determination.
"I'll explain why I didn't tell you guys after I save my brother. Mephisto, lead the way." Yukio said. Mephisto put his hat on and walked past the exwires, Yukio following.
Amazing... He didn't even panic for very long when the students found his dirty little secret... My little brothers, all three of them, are truly amazing. Mephisto thought before getting ready to create the Gehenna Gate.
Amaimon may be Mephisto's closest brother, but that didn't mean he would automatically follow along in his plans.
After all, Amaimon was still his pawn piece that defied him.
Oh my god! I'm excited to see what happens next! And I'm the writer! :D I also have no idea what Lucifer's personality is like, I've only gotten to chapter 15 ^^" So, sorry if I got his personality wrong. I have only heard of him and that he was a brother to Mephisto and Amaimon (Along with Yukio and Rin) so I decided to include him.
Thanks for the awesome reviews! They still make me happy
