I know. it's been way too long right? Sorry! I'm getting into a really creative period so I will be publishing a lot of oneshots at the moment and won't have much time to write this story. kinda sad huh? Good thing is that I believe it was this story that got me into that creative period in the first place.
Anyway here we go!
"So you are saying that the angels had this young lady carry out their work of finding Rin am I correct?" Mephisto asked looking from Yukio, to Shiemi, to Rin and then back to Yukio.
They were all in Mephisto's office. Yukio had brought Rin and Shiemi there as soon as she had calmed down enough to pull herself together.
"That is correct sir" Yukio confirmed.
"Miss Shiemi Moriyama correct?" Mephisto asked. "You must've been terrible. You can go home and rest"
"Thank you" Shiemi mumbled looking down at her hands that were folded in her lap.
"Sir can I go with her?" Rin asked standing up.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. You see she lives outside campus and we don't want you too far away from the academy" Mephisto explained with his way of a kind smile.
Rin sighed and sat back down wearing an annoyed expression.
Shiemi woke up and Yukio used the special key of his to help Shiemi back. She was smiling brightly as she thanked him for doing so.
"It's not a problem" Yukio answered closing the door behind Shiemi. Then he walked back to his chair and sat down. He knew that Mephisto had more information to give them but he didn't know what kind of information that could possibly be.
"So Rin. I've spoken to Amaimon about what happened" Mephisto said. Rin nodded to signal that he could go on. "He explained everything to me but I'd like to hear your side of the story as well. That also goes with what happened before Amaimon came"
Rin nodded and explained from when he and Shiemi had left campus. He explained how they had run into the angels and how Amaimon had come just in time to help them fight the angels. He explained how he had been fighting against the angels and how he stabbed an angel with Kurikara and then the rest retreated.
Mephisto nodded. "I'd like you to explain exactly what happened to the angel that you stabbed" he said.
Rin nodded. "It was all covered in those blue flames." he said. "The angel started burning and screaming. I didn't even touch him with my flames. I didn't attack by using them. I only used my sword. But he was burning and screaming and then all that was left was a pile of ashes" Rin finished nervously.
"Interesting" Mephisto smiled.
"Sir?" Yukio looked at Mephisto with questioning eyes.
"Amaimon told me the same story" Mephisto said. "I think we've just found ourselves a weapon against the angels" he said.
"What are you talking about!" Rin yelled in confution.
"What do you mean?" Yukio asked. "Kurikara is a demon sword!"
"Yes I'm aware but from the looks of it, Kurikara that also happens to be a gateway to Gehenna and this, combined with Satan's blue flames might just be what we need to kill the angels" Mephisto smiled brightly and then looked around. His eyes landed on Rin and narrowed slightly. "Where is the sword?" he asked.
Rin bit his lip. "I don't know sir" he said swallowing something. "I think I lost it after fighting the angels"
Mephisto nodded. "You dropped the sword and the leading angel had noticed what was going on already so therefore he took the sword" he guessed.
"I think so" Rin mumbled.
"How could you be so stupid Rin!" Yukio yelled looking irritated at his older brother.
"I don't know! I don't even remember dropping it!" Rin yelled just as irritated as Yukio.
"Now, now we don't have to fight" Mephisto smiled brightly. "We just have to get the sword back to Rin and things will be perfect.
Yukio didn't speak. that was by far one of those things where 'easier said than done' would fit perfectly. Knowing it would be next to impossible to get close to the angels without getting killed not to speak about getting close to wherever the angels were hiding without getting killed. Yukio sighed.
"How do you even plan on making that happening?" Rin questioned.
Mephisto thought about that for a while. "Would you surrender yourself to the angels if your brother's life depended on it?" he asked.
"Yukio's?" Rin asked. "Of course I would!"
Yukio looked from one demon to the other. He was starting to get an idea about where this was going and he didn't like it one bit. "You want me to act as bate" he concluded.
"Exactly!" Mephisto smiled widely. "You will let yourself capture by the angels who will know that Rin will be willing to sacrifice himself for you. While you're captured you will try to get the sword from the angels and when Rin comes to switch place with you, You simply hand him the sword" Mephisto smiled clearly thinking his plan was genius.
Yukio's mouth turned into a thin line. He could defenently see an awful lot of big holes and ifs in that plan. "What if Rin and I aren't let near each other while exchanging?" he asked.
"Then you simply draw the sword." Mephisto said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "turning Rin's flames on. The angels are clearly weak to the flames so it will cause some damage"
Yukio nodded. There were still a few things that could cause the plan to go wrong but it was a bit better now.
"You think you can do it?" Rin asked looking concerned at Yukio.
"I'm an exorcist" Yukio said smiling at his older twin. "It's just a different part of my job"
Rin nodded. He let out a sigh. He could only imagine what the angels could do to Yukio but if Yukio thought he could handle it, then Rin just had to trust him. There was nothing more to it.
So now they got a plan that hopefully is foolproof. Hope you're at least a bit excited to see how things are gonna go down.
