Behemoth was completely still. The familiar didn't even look like it was breathing. Mephisto blinked in confusion at Behemoth's actions.
"Behemoth! Get out of your trance and come with me, Amaimon's losing it.." Mephisto said and tried to push Behemoth. No luck. It was almost glued to the ground. Behemoth's eyes were wide open and it wasn't even growling or showing it's teeth. Usually when Amaimon is away for a long time, Behemoth will lose control and act like the demon it really is. Amaimon and them were unconscious for about 3 days and he didn't see Behemoth when he went to Gehenna...
Even so, right now it seems to be the other way around.
"Behemoth! Amaimon needs your help right now! He's losing his sanity and about to kill two perfectly good exorcists!" Mephisto said and used his head to try and push Behemoth. That failed. He then tried with his paws, but that failed too.
Mephisto poofed back into his human form and attempted to pick Behemoth up now. God damn, how much did this thing weigh?! Mephisto couldn't even make it budge!
"Mas...Ter..." Behemoth whispered. Mephisto couldn't hear it though and continued to try and push and pick up the familiar. Behemoth's eyes were getting hazy now and it slowly narrowed it's eyes.
"Where... Are... You.. This feeling... You're slipping away from me..." Behemoth gave a cry and started running as fast as it can to where it sensed Amaimon was.
"NO ONE TAKES MY MASTER AWAY!" Behemoth screamed telepathically and continued running. Mephisto was left there, in shock. He shook his head and smirked.
"Finally. Maybe my little brothers can be saved."
"All three of them."
Rin felt warm stickiness run down his face. All he could see was the color red. Stupid body cast! Instead of helping him, you're killing him!
He screamed in agony as Amaimon stuck his finger into his eye again. He put two and two together and guessed that Amaimon took his eye out of his eye socket. Why would he continue to stick his fingers inside of him if there was nothing left to take?
"You know Rin... Hahaha, I love your eyes. They're so blue and beautiful.. They look even better with a touch of red to them." Amaimon laughed.
"GET YOUR DEMON HANDS OFF MY BROTHER!" Yukio shouted and threw a fire extinguisher at Amaimon. Amaimon dodged by jumping away from Rin.
"Hahaha, don't be a little hypocrite Yukio!" Amaimon shouted with a sick smile. Yukio helped Rin sit upright and stood in front of him. Blood was dripping down Yukio's sides and soaking his bandage.
It was when Yukio got a good look at Amaimon did he finally notice that something was wrong.
Amaimon's usual turquoise eyes had a hint of yellow in the middle.
Yukio knew exactly what that meant. Either Satan was taking over Amaimon's body or he was controlling Amaimon's actions. Yukio was slightly relieved that this wasn't the real Amaimon, but he was up against Satan. He can't beat Satan alone.
"Satan..." Yukio whispered. Amaimon's sick smile slowly disappeared into an irritated frown.
"Aw... Now why would you mix me up with that freak?" Amaimon asked in monotone.
"First off, no one calls Satan a freak in fear of being punished. Second, your eyes." Yukio said. He started to feel dizzy and fell down onto his knees.
Amaimon laughed. He laughed like Satan. "Hahaha, so you finally figured it out huh? Since Amaimon is a demon king, it took me a little bit to take over his body. All I had to do was put him to sleep... And even then it took a minute to control him." He explained evilly.
Meanwhile on the other side of the door, Shiemi was trying to figure out how to open this door.
"Bon, Shima, can you please try breaking the door down?" Shiemi asked. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, but she swore that she would save Rin and her Yuki-chan! Bon and Shima nodded and used all their might to hit and kick the door down.
"It won't move!" Shima exclaimed. Bon tried to push down the handle and open it, but that didn't do any good. In fact, he got shocked violently.
"Bon!" Shiemi and Shima shouted in worry. Bon panted in pain and tried to get up.
"It's... No good... We need to get the higher ranked exorcists to help us.."
~On the other side of the door~
Amaimon kicked apart Rin's body cast, also hurting his broken back in the process. Rin screamed again and held himself in hopes the pain would ease.
"Nii-san!" Yukio screamed. His whole world was spinning and he couldn't stand up. Yukio watched his brother fall unconscious due to the pain and fear and he grit his teeth together in shame. He was such a horrible little brother...
Amaimon, or "Satan" heard something. He stopped his laughing and looked around.
"MASTER!" There it was again, that voice!
In the depths of Amaimon's mind, the real Amaimon was struggling to stay awake. He couldn't see anything, he couldn't feel anything, he couldn't even tell whether his eyes were open or not!
"MASTER!" A voice shouted. Amaimon looked around quickly. Behemoth?!
"BEHEMOTH!" Amaimon shouted back. Amaimon's shout echoed around the dark and empty void. If only he could see...
"Master don't leave me!" Behemoth called again. Amaimon faintly saw a light up ahead. He smiled happily and attempted to get up. If he could just stand up, he could get out of here! However, since his whole body was numb, it was difficult. If he can't feel anything, how could he move?
How could he get out of here?!
Satan (I'll just call him that for now) looked towards the window and frowned. Oh yeah, the little goblin thing Amaimon always had with him. Amaimon's little pet.
"Get out of here!" Satan said and waved the familiar off. Behemoth stood it's ground though. Satan narrowed his eyes and faced Behemoth. "I said get ya vermin!" Satan then jumped towards Behemoth to try and grab him. Behemoth held Satan's head still with its own large arms and put its head against his. Satan tried to break free from the demon's grip, but Behemoth was holding on tight. Satan's eyes fluttered as he tried to stay awake, but he eventually fell unconscious.
Behemoth was able to hold its masters limp body and continued to press its head against his own. Yukio watched in slight interest even as he tried attended to Rin's wounds.
Just then, the door burst open.
Amaimon felt his hand twitch as feeling started to overcome his senses. Amaimon looked up towards the light and saw something running towards him. He laughed happily and stood up as he realized it was Behemoth!
Behemoth jumped into Amaimon's lap and Amaimon held his familiar tightly. "Behemoth... I'm so glad you're here..." Amaimon whispered.
"Master you almost left me! Please don't leave me!" Behemoth cried out. Amaimon didn't even try to go to the light. He just wanted to hold the little demon for a little bit longer.
Behemoth heard Amaimon's heart thumping heavily against his chest. Maybe this is what he was talking about with Rin. His heart thumps heavily whenever he hurts Rin, or whenever the topic with Rin comes up in general. Behemoth has known Amaimon for hundreds of years, and this isn't the first time he's held the demon either. Behemoth always heard the soft, gentle thump of his heart whenever he would hold his familiar, not this heavy beating.
Maybe its master just hasn't dealt with such an emotion for a very long time and its affecting him. Behemoth suddenly got an idea.
That's right! Ever since that day with Jay and Koneko he probably forced himself not to love ever again and now that he loves Rin, it's brought back bad memories and its hurting master's chest! It makes sense now!
Amaimon slowly released Behemoth and actually smiled at the goblin. "Come on Behemoth, let's go home." Amaimon said and they both started to run towards the light.
Mephisto watched as his exorcists examined the room. The doctors were helping both the injured Rin and Yukio and five of the higher class exorcists surrounded Amaimon. Shiemi, Bon, and Shima were with the doctors, asking if the twins were ok.
"Sir Pheles, the demon is not a threat anymore. He's unconscious. However, we aren't sure about the hobgoblin..." One of the exorcists said. Mephisto smirked at the scene of Amaimon hugging Behemoth tightly in his sleep.
"The hobgoblin isn't a threat either. I'll be taking care of these two in my office. Please make sure that Rin and Yukio are fine." Mephisto ordered. The exorcist nodded and joined the doctors.
Mephisto sighed. "Oh Amaimon.. You've caused a lot of trouble here at True Cross Academy to try and get stronger.. I hope that what you've done paid off. I don't want to have known you destroyed my academy just for a failed attempt at getting stronger." Mephisto muttered before going to pick Amaimon up and bring him to his office.
And that's it! The end! :D I'm going to post one more chapter for the epilogue, but the actual story is finished!
