Disclaimer: I don't own Blue Exorcise
Party in Gehenna
When Satan released Sheimi from his embrace, Amaimon moved forward and took her hand. She gave as small bow to Satan and moved with her mate back to where all the others were.
"We should introduce everyone." Yuri's voice cut into the tension like a knife through butter. Satan nodded and motioned all 10 of his sons to the front.
"First born: Samuel, demon king of time and portals; Second born: Eygn, demon king of water; Third born: Iblis, demon king of fire (Not blue fire); Fourth born: Astaroth, demon king of decay/rot; Fifth born: Azazel, demon king of spirits; Sixth born: Kage, demon king of shadows; Seventh born: Vulpes, demon king of healing/ doctors; Eighth born: Amaimon, demon king of earth, Ninth and Tenth born: Rin and Yukio who have inherited hell's fire." At each name the corresponding prince would bow to the new queen of hell.
"I don't intend to keep you from your dinner, but please know I will not allow anyone to make a ruckus." She warned with a smile that was both sweet and dangerous. "Dear, would you please lead the way?" She asked Satan, who nodded taking her arm and after he and his new wife passed the princes all followed in order of their birth. Sheimi stuck close to Amaimon while Bon and Konekomaru both stayed close to the twins. Shura was swept along by Mephisto (Samuel). Yuri noticed the human additions and asked why they had come to a place as dangerous as Gehenna.
"We are friends of the Okumura twins." Bon said carefully. "Konekomaru and I are open minded about their heritage. We both have been saved personally by one if not both of the twins." Konekomaru nodded.
"What of you?" Yuri asked Shura.
"I am the one teaching Rin how to use his sword," She responded easily. "and how to control his flames so he doesn't massacre someone on accident."
"Yet you are on the arm of Samuel?" Yuri pointed out with a question. "Why is that?"
"Because the freaking clown grabbed her first." Rin pointed out to his mother.
"You should refer to your brother more politely, or you may face one of us in a fight." Warned one of the guards.
"I take no offense to his words." Mephisto stated, causing the guard to flinch. "You should also realize the person you are addressing has sent Father back here Twice. So you should show Prince Rin some respect, or I am sure he would love to teach you some." By the time Mephisto finished what he was saying the room was silent.
"Shall we sit down?" Yuri asked pointedly, motioning for everyone to sit for the feast. Satan stood behind her and held her chair then slid it into position at the table. Amaimon did the same for Sheimi, as did Mephisto for Shura. "What has changed in Assiah?" Yuri asked. "I have little knowledge of what happened after I gave birth to Rin and Yukio."
"How much do you know about the twin's situation?" Mephisto asked his step-mother.
"Only that Shiro had custody of them until his death, and then you were granted custody." She responded.
"I became an exorcist to protect Rin, and in order for him to live he had to start training as well." Yukio said quietly.
"It was the only way to keep him alive." Mephisto said when everyone looked at him in shock at allowing not one but both of the brothers in his custody to study exorcism. "We put him in the school I am the principal for and exorcise cram school. That is where they met those two." He said pointing to Bon and Konekomaru.
"I recognized you two," Satan said. "You were there when I took over Yukio, when he tried to save Rin from their grandfather." He chuckled, "You attacked me," he said pointing to Bon, "and you made a shield for them to run." He said pointing to Konekomaru. Both boys nodded. "You don't seem upset sitting at the same table as me." He pointed out. "Yet I sense animosity from you both."
"My grandfather and his parents died 16 years ago when you tried to take a vessel in order to save your wife." Bon said quietly. "While we understand why it happened now, we also still feel the loss of our kin."
"Ah. I was frantic at the time trying to find someone strong enough to host me until I could save Yuri." He thought back to that night. "In the end it was her own father, who became my vessel. The very man who condemned her to death for conceiving our sons." He looked at Sheimi again and he suddenly recognized her. "You were the one that was able to hold off my flames for a few minutes. What was that plant again?" He thought about it for a second and almost missed her quiet response.
"Seven Rowan. A plant that won't catch fire even if set 7 times." She answered. "It is good for blocking fire but not strong enough for a physical attack."
"And to think that you ended up with Amaimon," he shook his head in bewilderment. "Now that is a tale I would love to hear." Sheimi smiled. "Would you care to tell us?" He requested of his daughter-in-law.
Sheimi nodded, "Well it all began with my grandmother telling me tales of the Garden of Amahara. As a gardener the idea of a place where all the flowers in the world were together drew me to the idea. When I went out looking for it one day, my grandmother died when she tried to cover the grape vines that we had in our garden, they fell on her crushing her to death." Sheimi looked over at Amaimon drawing strength from his reassuring smile. "After she died a demon offered to help me keep the garden alive and though I didn't know it at the time, she required my energy, sending her roots into my legs. I soon couldn't walk and when I met Rin he made me realize that Granny's death wasn't my fault. With Yukio and Rin's help I was free of the demon." She smiled at the twins. "I asked Mephisto if I could attend cram school so I could learn how to protect myself from future attacks." She sighed, "During one of the training camps Amaimon attacked Rin trying to get him to reveal his flames. In the process he had a demon bug plant her egg in me to get Rin to follow him. I could see what was happening but couldn't move my body. Amaimon wanted to rile Rin up so he started mocking him by saying he was going to marry me." She giggled at the recollection. "A few weeks later I caught him staring at me from the trees surrounding my family's garden. He approached me and asked me if I really wanted to see the Garden of Amahara, startling me, and I replied yes. I didn't even know who was talking to me. I recognized him a few days later when he came to cram school only to stare at me for the entire day." That made most of the people in the dining hall laugh. "I helped him with the replanting of a forest, the one that was destroyed by Rin and Amaimon fighting. Amaimon," Sheimi blushed recalling what happened to spawn her transformation, "Amaimon… well he kissed me and things went from there." By the time she was done with her tale everyone saw how red she was and was laughing at how shy she was being. "Hey that reminds me, you still have to show me the Garden of Amahara!" She demanded of her mate, her embarrassment forgotten for the moment.
"I will take you there soon, I promise." Amaimon said with a smile, making all of his brothers, except Rin Yukio and Mephisto, bust out laughing.
"She's got him whipped already." Iblis sneered at his younger brothers. It was to the shock of everyone there that Sheimi's familiar jumped down from her hair and started to scold them.
"Nii, nii, nii, nii. Nii, nii, nii, nii, nii." With that the small green man climbed back up and hid in her hair. Amaimon, being the only one who could understand the green man was impressed by the speech, while everyone else was laughing at the weird sounds he made over and over. Sheimi was not laughing, but while she is still unable to understand Nii-chan she knew his tendency for being overprotective.
"Nii-chan, you don't need to worry about me. Also don't upset Iblis-san, he is the king of fire and I don't want you getting burnt." She called to her familiar. Nii-chan slid down her bangs and patted her face in a reassuring fashion, and then he returned to her hair. Their actions only made the demon princes laugh harder at how funny it all looked.
"Well that is one hell of a tale." Satan said from the head of the table. "Now I understand that you all have to return to Assiah, but I hope you can stay for a few days and see Gehenna." He said. "Samuel, I wish to speak with you separately from your brothers, please see me in the morning." With that said Satan rose and taking Yuri's hand began to walk away.
"Get some sleep; you're going to need it." Mephisto warned the cram students. "And stop teasing Amaimon and his wife." He ordered his brothers. Amaimon rose and offered Sheimi his hand, when she took it she allowed him to start to pull her along with him toward his rooms. After a minute or so, after they were out of the dining hall, she sped up and was walking side-by-side with Amaimon. He led her outside and off to a 'rundown' building.
"This is where I stay while I am here." He told his queen. "Would you like a tour?" She nodded. "Alright then, this is the courtyard, and a fountain that shows anywhere in Assiah. Inside this hallway there is 3 doors, the first takes you to a library, the second takes you to the in-suit kitchen, and the third leads to another hallway that has 4 more doors. Those three are as follows, first: guest bedroom; second: guest bathroom; third: a hallway that goes toward the master bedroom; and fourth: a hallway that leads to what will be the nursery." He thought about it for a second. "The master bedroom has an in-suit bathroom, and walk-in closet. There is a door that leads to a maze, so don't go through it until you can summon someone who can get you out of there easily." Sheimi nodded as he was describing everything as he passed each door opening it to show her what was behind them all. She looked at Amaimon and when she reached for him, he stiffened.
"What is it?" She asked him, hurt thinking he was rejecting her. He pointed to the door to the maze and she saw someone standing in it. "Who are you?" She demanded of the figure.
"You need not worry about me, I am one of the palace women." The woman said. "I came to see if Prince Amaimon needed anything." She said in a sexy tone, not realizing that she was angering they Earth King and his Bride.
"Get out!" Sheimi demanded in a dangerous tone. The prostitute looked at her and said the wrong thing. She told Sheimi 'bite me, bitch'. Sheimi responded by lifting her hand, and summoning her powers, she called for a briar to wrap around the woman, scratching her badly. "I think I will let the plants bite you instead." She continued to make the thorns sharp, but not long enough to do anything more that scratch the woman. "I suggest that you stay away from me and MY MATE." Sheimi snarled, she then ordered the briar to release the prostitute and repeated her previous order. "GET OUT!" She shrieked at the demoness. The woman bowed deeply and left, a trail of blood following her out. "Amaimon, I" She started only to faint from overuse of her powers. Amaimon caught her and lifting her as if she was as fragile as a lily, he gently placed her in the bed, and sliding both of their shoes off he then joined her, letting sleep take over his exhausted mind. In his sleep he snuggled closely to her and held her. After a few hours Sheimi woke to find herself wrapped up in a blanket made of grass, and Amaimon. She snuggled closer to him and fell back asleep with a whisper to her sleeping mate. "Sleep well, darling."
