Turns out I did not upload the chapter on the same day ANYWAY! Sorry it took so long...i haven't been getting much sleep lately, but i finally got this chapter done! So, TO THE CHAPTER!

Rin's eyes shot open. He quickly tried to sit up, but winced as pain shot up his side. Which confirmed it.

Falling into Gehenna hadn't been a dream.

He gently layed a hand on his broken ribs, feeling to see how many were broken. At least two…

He looked up, observing the barren landscape. To his left, he could see a forest around 15 yards away. The forest looked dark and mysterious, an eerie vibe coming from it, which even Rin could feel from where he sat. It gave him the creeps just looking at. Something probed at him, the light just didn't look quite right. He glanced up, and his mind didn't believe his eyes. The sky was red. Blood red.

He noticed something else in the sky, and squinted. It looked like a random black rectangle, and he realized what it was. It was what he had fallen through, the Gehenna Gate. His eyes narrowed. If he could somehow get up there he would probably be able to get back to Assiah… but how? Rin didn't have wings like Blossom or Lily or Kline. He couldn't fly up there.

He suddenly remembered that his brother had fallen too, and looked around franticly. He absolutely despised the thought of them being separated in Gehenna. When he saw his twin laying a few feet away, he let out the breath he had been holding. He was relieved that they hadn't been spilt up, but he also felt guilty that he had dragged his brother down to Gehenna along with him.

Rin got to his feet, ignoring his throbbing side. He took a step forward, but gasped as pain shot up his leg, reminding him of his sprained ankle. He clenched his teeth and made his way to Yukio, collapsing when he reached his twin's side. He saw Yukio's chest rise and fall, which confirmed he wasn't dead.

They were both alive, but for how much longer? They would positively get killed faster if they stayed out in the open for much longer. But where would they go? The dark forest was the only shelter for miles. And he did not want to know what just what was lurking in that place.

And even they did go there, there was no way they could move. Yukio was unconscious and Rin had broken ribs and a sprained ankle. There was no way he could carry Yukio. Well technically he could, it would just be really, really, really painful.

Yukio's eyes fluttered open and he sat up, pulling Rin out of his thoughts. He looked around, seeming to get what the situation was right of the bat. "Are we in Gehenna?"

"Yes you are." They both jumped as a voice spoke from behind them. Crap, we've already been spotted! Rin thought. Rin swiveled to face the demon and winced as another wave of pain hit him. The demon was in human form, and Rin narrowed his eyes, knowing the demon looked familiar. He had a wicked smile across his face, revealing sharp pointy teeth. He had ram-like horns and white hair and red eyes.

"It was the perfect plan!" The demon laughed. "I can finally redeem myself for failing all those months ago!" The demon continued to laugh and talk to himself when suddenly a thought hit Rin. He remembered that his sword had also fallen with them, which also meant he was most likely out of Astsria's field range. Then he realized that he was probably flaming right now which would attract more attention than anything. He glanced around once again, spotting his flaming sword only a yard away. He inched toward it, his brother sending him a sharp glance.

Rin reached backwards slowly and gripped the sword. After a moment, he threw the sword at Yukio, yelling, "Now Yukio!"

Yukio reached up, snatching the sword out of the air, bursting into flames. The demon froze, his eyes darting toward them. "Oh, so the younger one has the power too? Interesting…"

Yukio attacked the demon, and even though he didn't do much swordplay, he wasn't half-bad. But there was a few things he could work on. The demon was clearly too fast for him, and he dodged each attack Yukio threw at him, but he didn't attack back. Rin looked around, wondering if there was anything he could attack with. Yukio was clearly just being toyed with, and who knew when the demon would make his move.

Rin spotted a gun a few feet away from were Yukio had been laying, wondering how he hadn't seen it before but then pushed the thought to the back of his head. It wasn't important right now. He glanced back at the two fighting, the demon's focus was directed at Yukio.

Rin took in a deep breath, then jumped to his feet and ran over to the gun, barely standing the pain as his ankle and ribs felt as if they were being stabbed over and over. He scooped up the gun and pointed it at the demon, realizing who it was.

And he would be happy to shot him.

"Yukio, duck!" Rin screamed. Yukio jumped out of the way and Rin pulled the trigger, the bullet piercing Astaroth.

Blossom looked at the demons infront of her. She felt sick. She had just watched the twin brothers fall into Gehenna in dismay and there wasn't anything she could've done about it. The first people to accept them, to befriend them, had just fallen to hell right before her eyes. She felt shocked as she felt a cold tear fall down her cheek. She couldn't remember the last time she had cried.

She wish she could save them somehow, but what was she kidding. She couldn't even save herself. She glanced at Lily, and the pained expression on her face said it all. She wanted to escape and leave everyone else to fend of themselves. She wanted to take her sister and leave everyone else to die. Blossom narrowed her eyes. Lily could leave if she wanted to, but Blossom was done running. She was going to help others from now on.

The demon army pushed them back toward the gate, and now Blossom, Lily, Marla, and Kline were nervously flashing glances back at the looming gate behind them. Suddenly the demons stopped attacking, and Astsria looked at them with a wicked smile. Before Blossom knew what was happening, her feet had been wiped out from under her, and she felt herself falling backwards into the gate, fear consuming her.

Blossom felt air rush past her. All she could hear was her own slow heart-beat pounding in her ears. She felt as if time had stopped. It was…relaxing in a way. But suddenly her memories rushed back to her, and her eyes shot open.

She realized she was falling and instinctively snapped out her wings trying to get aloft, but she was too close to the ground. She flapped her wings anyway, but the best she did was slow her fall. Only when she landed did she notice the throbbing in her left wing. She folded it toward her and gently felt it, her heart sinking as she felt a few broken bones and a few stretched muscles.

She glanced up, seeing that Lily and Kline had managed to fly and had caught Marla, who was staring at the ground with round eyes. Blossom squinted at the sky, not believing its odd color.

Red. Yeah, that's totally normal.

"Blossom?" She swiveled in the direction of the voice, feeling relieved when she saw Rin and Yukio. But then she noticed their condition. Yukio was supporting Rin, and Rin's arm was thrown across his shoulders. He had one foot off the ground and his free arm was holding his sides. Both their clothes were torn and ruined, and they had scratches and bruises.

Yukio had a gash on the side of his head, dry blood crusting around it. It wasn't bleeding anymore, but it still looked bad. She heard the others land behind her, and she glanced back at them. They all had scratches and brusies, but nothing serious. The Okumura twins had clearly taken the toll of the battle.

"You guys are okay!" Blossom said with relief.

"In extreme pain and in Gehenna. Sure, let's go okay." Rin said sourly.

"You're alive, aren't'cha?" Blossom replied. "Therefore, you're fine."

"I didn't know you were such a positive thinker." Rin commented. Blossom glared at him.

"I can break a few more of those ribs if you want me too," Blossom growled.

"How'd you know I had broken-wait no don't! Two is bad enough!" Rin protested.

"Guys? Are you even thinking of what's happening right now? Our situation?!" Marla interrupted. "We're in freaking Gehenna! How the hell are we gonna get outta here?!"

"Marla, don't worry. We'll figure this out." Yukio promised. She didn't look very convinced.

"Anyway, we should probably get out from the open." Yukio added.

"The only shelter I see for miles is that creepy looking forest over there." Kline said.

"It's better than out in the open." Blossom said. Lily nodded in agreement.

"Let's go and figure out what to do when we get there." Blossom suggested, heading toward the forest, the others following. Fear pricked at her. She knew that they were in the most horrible situation ever. At least we're together, She thought to herself.

She glanced back at the others. They all had brave faces on, but she could see behind the masks. They were all scared, wondering if they'd have a future or if they'd die here. Blossom clenched her fists. They were going to make it out alive. She'd make sure of it.

Thanks for reading! Comment if you have any ideas, questions, comments, grammer/spelling mistakes, or anything I should work on. I'll hopefully have the next chapter soon, but I won't be able to update or work on the story until Sunday. I have an acting competition I'm going to. I might take my laptop with me, but I'm not sure. And I'm sorry for not updating for awhile Dx Anyway, hope you enjoyed the chapter!
