Hi everyone! Thank you all for reading my story and encouraging me to bring out the second chapter! This fanfic will probably closely follow the manga/anime in certain parts, with Rin being in Gehenna of course, so things are going to be different.

Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 2

"Rin!/Okumura!/Okumura-kun!/Nii-san!" shouted the group as they watched in horror as Rin was swallowed by the Gate. Sheimi tried to run and help, but Izumo grabbed her shoulder to stop her.

"If you do that you'll end up in Gahanna too!"

"But, Rin is…"

"Oh…to think he would actually intervene and drag his son at Gahanna," commented Mephist, touching down next to the group of students and their teachers.

"Sir Pheles, what is the meaning of this?" asked Yukio, half tempted to shoot the one-man circus act.

"It would seem, that Satan is fed up with waiting to tempt Okumura-kun over to his side and chose to take action himself,"

"S-Satan!?" exclaimed Konekomaru, eyes widening behind his glasses.

"Why would Satan want an exorcist on his side; an' why Okumura of all people?" asked Bon, trying to make sense of the situation.

"Well, Okumura-sensei will explain it to you; I have to deal with putting out the fire. So until then," and with that, the man disappeared in a puff of pink smoke and confetti.

"Rin!" Sheimi yelled, just as the familiar head of spiky black hair completely sunk into the Gate. With its task complete, the Gate faded away, awaiting commands from its master for when its service was need again.

"Sensei…please start explainin' what Satan would want with Okumura," stated Bon, his face in shadows.

Yukio stiffened, then looked away. "Alright…it started about sixteen years ago, on what most people refer to as the Blue Night…" he went on to explain that Satan had possessed and impregnated a human women, and that was how Rin had inherited the blue flames. Yes, Yukio was Rin's twin brother, but the power rejected him, leaving an ordinary human.

"Until a few months ago…Nii-san was unaware of any of this," Yukio stated crossly, picking up Kurikara. He exclaimed when he saw the crack in the steel.

"Looks like it couldn't suppress his powers anymore," said Shura as she examined the blade.

"Kurikara cracked?" asked Bon, pushing Yukio a bit to see the damage himself.

"Kurikara? You know the name of this blade?" asked Yukio.

"Ah; was an heirloom at our temple in Kyoto. But if it's cracked, then…"

"Yoshikuni should be able to do something about it," suggested Shima, seeing where Bon's thoughts were going.

"Yoshikini?" asked Izumo.

"The place where the Kurikara was forged," replied the teen, further studying the sword.

"What are you all talking about…?" muttered Konekomaru, his head bowed. "Do you honestly know what you're saying? You're talking about helping a demon! The son of Satan!"

"Koneko-san…"

"Baka; how else will that idiot be able defend himself when he comes back?" spat Bon, glancing over at the bald youth. "Besides…it would be repayin' our debt,"

"Yosh, then we're going to Kyoto," said Shura, putting an arm around Yukio's shoulder.

-Scene shift-

It was all black. That was all he saw; endless, fathomless, cheerless black. But he felt like he was falling; that he had been falling for a long time…how long? Why? Where was he?

His brain was a befuddled mess that he couldn't make heads or tails of it. Tail…didn't he have a tail too? Well, it didn't really matter now, did it?

"Am I…dead?" he muttered to himself, unsure of the answer. Surrounding his chest, where his heart would be, was an aura of blue flames. It pulsed and throbbed like his heart would, so Rin assumed that he was still alive. He gripped the fabric under the flames, feeling the minute amounts of heat they generated.

He continued to sink through the darkness, unable to tell which way he was facing, until the black was replaced by a muggy, smoky magenta colored fog.

"Nani!?" cried out Rin, a second before he made impact with the hard, mud colored ground. He shook it off, craning his head around for a better view. "Ouch…hm? Are? Where am I?" then he remembered the fight with Amaimon, going berserk, and the fact that his stupid birth father had just dragged him into Hell. It all gave him a rather nasty head ach.

It was then that he noticed that his sword wasn't with him, but his powers were still active, only…stronger? Well, his powers were of Gahanna origin, so it made sense.

Sitting up, he rubbed his head, his tail curling around him. He sighed. "Ahhhh, now what am I gonna do? Everyone is in Assiah, my sword isn't here, and Kuro knows where my bags of chips are…AAAHHHH! I NEED TO GET BACK BEFORE HE EATS THE BBQ ONES!"

But before he could fuss over the matter very much, the ground under him trembled with a tremendous boom, causing Rin to comically lose his balance, splaying his arms in windmills, even though he was sitting. A shadow hovered over his form.

"Hnm? What the hell is that!?" Looking over his shoulder, his eyes bugging out of his head, he saw a huge demon/lizard/dragon thing looming over him.

"If I stay still, maybe it won't notice me!" he thought, squeezing his eyes shut and trying not to move. For good measure, he even stopped using his demon powers. The huge demon huffed at Rin's clothes…then leaned his head back, while breathing in.

"W-WAIT! You're not going to…!" just as he thought that, the beast sneezed, blowing Rin's hair, tail, and cloths back with 100 mph winds. It then snuffled its nose, turning away. Rin sweatdropped, sighing in relief. "Now I should be safe,"

Ara, shouldn't have jinxed it, Rin-kun.

Just as the words left his mouth, he was tackled from behind by forces unknown. "Ah! What are you…Kuro?" Rin blinked in confusion at the Demon on his back. It looked just like Kuro, only without the white belly and strip on his leg. Also, this Demon was a burnished brown-red color.

"Human! Aki will eat human for trespassing in Aki's territory!" said the Cat Sidhe with the demon telepathy. Another difference; this demon sounded female.

"Ah, wait, wait! Aki…was it? I'm sorry for trespassing; I kind of…got lost? Haha…ha…" he smiled weakly.

"Human didn't mean to come into Aki's territory?" Aki looked at Rin, blue cat eyes fixed on his face. "Promise Aki?"

"Ah; I didn't mean to trespass," Rin smiled good naturedly.

Aki backed off…then tightened her grip on him between her paws. "You lie! Humans ALWAYS lie!" the Cat Sidhe hissed.

"Ah…WAAAAHHH!" yelled Rin, somehow wiggling out from between Aki's paws. A game of chase ensued, Rin several feet in front of the angry demon.

"Wait! Aki wants to maim you!"

"Like that will make me stop!?"

"Wait!"

"No!"

"Human, wait!"

"No! And if it means so much to you," Rin yelled, holding up his tail and pointing angrily at it. "I'm a demon too!"

"…eh?" Aki said, coming to a halt, staring at Rin in wonder. Rin let out a ragged breath, then fell to the ground. "Human is a demon?" said the cat, confused at Rin's words.

"Yeah; the human is a Demon…and my name is Rin, so stop calling me 'human'!"

The demon tilted her head. "Rin is a demon?"

Rin sighed. "Yes, I'm a demon; so do you believe me about not trespassing in your territory?"

"Yes! Rin is Aki's new friend! Rin is allowed in Aki's territory!" the cat said as though that settled matters.

"EEEEEHHHH! So suddenly?" objected Rin, the wind suddenly picking up and blowing dust and the fog in their faces. It strengthened to the point where they had to shield their faces or be blinded.

"Rin! Aki knows where shelter is! Rin must come with Aki!" yowled the cat demon.

"O-okay," the teen replied, making his way over so that he could climb onto Aki's back.

"Hold on," and with that, Aki took off at a break-neck pace, dodging between sudden outcrops of rocks and dunes of sand. She stopped in front of rock mound hidden by swirls and piles of sand and dust and the weird purple fog. Barely visible was the entrance to a hidden cave. "This is it!" Aki exclaimed loudly as Rin dismounted, causing an echo.

"Woah, this is your place? You live here?" Rin asked, going into spaz mode, looking around the cave excitedly. Then his stomach grumbled.

"Is Rin's stomach hungry? Aki has food from hunt earlier!" the cat said, bouncing up and down, causing a minor tremor in the cave. "Wait; Aki will get some!" the cat exclaimed, then rushed to the back of the cave. When she returned, she dropped something that vaguely resembled meat, and Rin assumed that it was formerly a demon. It didn't help that Aki was gorging herself on her own meal.

Since he didn't have control over his flames, cooking it that way was out of the option. He still had his sharp fingernails and a bunch of rocks…

In the end, he used his fingers to skin the fur and insect-like-limbs off some of the corpses, used his nose to find salt in the rocks, then used the rocks to cause a spark and burn the fur and limbs he had detached.

It wasn't the best thing he had ever cooked, but it guaranteed he wouldn't catch any nasty stomach virus.

"Anyway…that's one amazing windstorm," Rin commented, looking out of the mouth of the cave at the fierce gale brewing outside.

"That's because the Air King probably passed over; he does that often," replied Aki, looking up from her dinner.

"…I see," said Rin, thinking of the three of eight Princes of Hell he already knew. Hopefully, he would find a way out of here soon, and then he could explain his blue flames to his friends back home.

Okay! Second chapter is out! This took me a while to write, as I keep catching writers' block, so anyone want to make a request for the next chapter? Seriously, please?

Please review for me!
