Chapter 22
Ryuji and I both seemed to enjoy our few days together, though we did a lot of fooling around. I felt like I got to know him on a whole new level and now that school had started up again I couldn't wait to see where our relationship would take us. During class it seemed though there was a kid who could see demons, I could tell by the look on Rin's face that he was worried. He was such a kind person, 'Rin I will see you later!' I waved as Rin waved back in acknowledgment. Since cram school was canceled I thought it would be a good time to talk to Mephy. I sighed as I pulled out the key Mephisto had given me to his office. 'I should at least try to fix things,' I continued to sigh as I stood in front of the storage closet outside the classroom. 'Mira?' I turned around to see Ryuji looking at me with confusion. 'Why are you staring at the closet?' He asked as I looked down. 'I was going to talk to Mephy about what happened before, but with the danger he put everyone in I just don't know if I can trust him again.' I replied as tears welled up in my eyes as Ryuji pulled me into his arms. 'I know but he wouldn't do anything to risk your safety,' Ryuji stated as my grip on his shirt tightened. 'It's not me I am worried about; it's you and Rin! Last time you were both in danger and it was his fault…' I cried as Ryuji took the key from my hand and opened the door with it. 'Ryuji?' I questioned, 'let's go!' He smiled as he reached out his hand and pulled me in.
'Well this is a surprise,' Mephisto stated as the two of us walked up to his desk. 'What can I do for you two?' Mephy asked as his eyes darted from Ryuji to me. 'Mephy I…' I started as tears streamed down my face; the expression on Mephy's face changed as he got up and walked over to me. 'My job may cause me to do things you may not like Mira, but I promise that I will protect you and those you love. I won't let anything happen to Rin and the others. I'm sorry princess,' Mephisto stated as he gave me a small smile as the tears continued to stream down my face. 'Mephy!' I cried out as I dove into his arms and continued to bawl my eyes out. 'I don't want you to hate me,' Mephy stated as I looked up to face him. 'I couldn't hate you, I was just mad but I could never stop caring about you!' I continued to cry as Mephy patted me on the head as he then looked up over to Ryuji. 'So from my information it seems my princess has chosen you as her prince.' Mephisto smirked, as Ryuji blushed, 'yeah I guess' he replied, well then I will have to state something to you Mephy smiled as he helped me to my feet. 'First off, if you ever do anything to hurt my Mira then you will have to deal with my wrath. Second is I won't accept this until you can prove to me that you will love her with your very being. For now I will see how things go,' Mephy stated as Ryuji looked extremely uncomfortable. 'I understand…' Ryuji replied as he took hold of my hand and the two of us left his office. 'Well he can sure be scary when he wants to.' Ryuji stated as the two of us headed back to our dorms. 'Yeah but he's only trying to act like he thinks my father would have.' I smiled back as Ryuji sighed, 'yeah I guess your father would have been pretty scary being a demon and all.' Ryuji added, 'maybe, I mean I don't know much about him but don't forget Mephy is a demon as well.' I chuckled as Ryuji turned to face me with wide eyes. 'What?' Ryuji cried out as I froze, 'you mean you didn't know?' I replied, 'well I mean he looks a little off but I didn't think that they would let a demon run the school…' Ryuji stated, 'well true but Mephy has been with the Vatican for over 200 years I think, him and my father were trusted by them for the most part.' I smiled as Ryuji tried to compute all this info. 'I guess my father already knew all this,' Ryuji sighed, 'well yeah I'm positive Tatsuma knew this since he is the head of the Kyoto branch.' I replied as we came to a stop outside my dorm. 'Trust your father, he loves you and so do I!' I smiled as I placed a kiss on Ryuji's cheek as he blushed, 'yeah, see you tomorrow.' Ryuji smiled as he placed a kiss on my lips as we both headed our separate ways.
'Welcome back,' Rin stated as I collapsed on his bed. 'Thanks, where is Yukio?' I questioned as I looked around, 'no idea!' Rin replied as he pulled out a manga. 'Hey Rin… I want you to know, you mean a lot to me. I really do love you, just not the way,' Rin cut me off by taking hold of my hand. 'I know, you are like family to me. I am happy for you and Suguro, I want you to be happy more then anything.' Rin smiled as tears streamed down my face again. 'Man you cry easy,' Rin laughed as I dove into his arms. 'You are like a brother to me, and I want you to be happy so much Rin!' I replied as Rin grinned, 'hey I have amazing friends so I am okay. Being the son of Satan is hard but as long as you guys are with me then I will be just fine!' Rin continued to smile as I smiled back. 'By the way did you and Suguro have fun?' Rin asked with a look that inquired more then it appeared. 'Hey that stuff is personal!' I yelled back as I hit him with a pillow as Rin just laughed, 'can I sleep here tonight?' I asked as Rin smiled gently, 'since when do you ask?' He laughed as I smiled back, 'true.'
The next morning Rin and I headed to the lockers so he could switch his shoes. 'Morning Mira, Okumura!' Renzou grinned as he and Koneko walked up to us, 'morning!' Koneko added. 'Good morning boys,' I smiled back, 'morning! Oh right I wanted to ask you guys something.' Rin stated as he opened his locker, 'what is it?' Koneko asked, 'Okumura, could that could it be!' Renzou stammered as he pointed into Rin's locker as we all looked inside. 'A love letter!' Renzou belted out so everyone turned to look at us. 'Really?' Rin cried out as he pulled out the cutely decorated letter, something about it seemed oddly familiar to me though. 'How come Okumura get's one that's so cool!' Renzou cried out, 'that's awesome!' Koneko smiled, 'seriously? In the end a secret admirer has,' Rin grinned as we all looked at the back which was covered in heart stickers and the letters spelling Mephisto. Everyone froze, 'Mornin, what's that?' Ryuji questioned as he walked up to us. 'Ryuji!' I cried out as I tacked him to the ground. 'Damn it Mira I told you no tackle hugs!' Ryuji barked back as I pouted. Ryuji sighed in defeat as he got up and reached out to pull me up. As I reached back he pulled me into a hug as the others turned to us and all sighed. 'What this is from Mephisto and he used such a disgusting envelope!' Rin cried out, 'that's why it looked familiar to me.' I smiled as Renzou and Koneko chuckled. 'Even though it looks weird it might be important, you should read it.' Ryuji stated, 'eh what a bother!' Rin sighed as he opened it, 'Bon you sound like a father!' Koneko added, 'what was that?' Ryuji barked back, 'I think Ryuji would make a great father, but try not to be to strict on our future children okay?' I smiled as Ryuji turned a dark shade of red, 'Mira!' Ryuji barked back in embarrassment as Renzou and Koneko laughed. 'Huh what does this mean?' Rin questioned, 'let me see!' Ryuji replied as he took the letter and we all began to read.
Dear Rin Okumura. ❤
Autumn has already begun, yet the heat hasn't gone down.
How have you been? (≧∇≦)
I'm doing very well.❤
Well I have some news for you!
It's about the Vatican's judgment regarding your execution…
It has been SUSPENDED!
Hooray! Clap clap clap! Yay!
Congratulations! ヽ(^o^)丿
'It says that Okumura's execution has been put on hold!' Koneko stated, 'I knew it would be about that, but why only on hold? Man are they irritating!' Ryuji added, 'Execution? I totally forgot about that!' Rin replied, 'how could you forget about that?' Ryuji barked back, 'it is Okumura after all.' Koneko sighed, 'it looks like there is another page!' Renzou stated as Rin pulled it out,
By the way I would like to celebrate this suspension. If you're free tonight would you like to join me for dinner at my mansion? Please wear your uniform and come to Johann Faust's residence located on the upper floor of the academy at about 6 o'clock!
I'll be waiting (≧∇≦)
Mephisto ❤
'That Mephy, I wonder what he is up to?' I questioned as everyone looked disgusted, 'what does it mean?' Rin questioned, 'whoa I have a bad feeling about this. The handwriting is creepy.' Renzou added, 'join me for di… di what?' Rin questioned, 'dinner!' Ryuji yelled back, 'grandma?' Rin questioned, 'study harder, Google it!' Ryuji continued to yell. Ah he had no patience. 'Awe Ryuji go easy on him, English isn't easy for everyone!' I smiled as Ryuji continued to look ticked. 'Mommy, daddy is being mean!' Rin cried out as he ran into my arms as I patted his head. 'There there mommy will protect you!' I smiled as Ryuji looked like he would explode. 'Stop that!' He cried out as we all laughed, 'gaaaaaah!' We all heard a voice cry out as Rin went running. 'Was that Godaiin's voice?' Rin yelled out as he continued to run in the direction of the screaming. We all ran after him as we came to a group of people surrounding Rin and Godaiin. 'That guy, what happened?' Ryuji cried out, 'Godaiin hang in there!' I spoke as I knelt down to console him. 'I can't take it anymore, help me…' he spoke as I turned to look at Rin who's face looked concerned for his new friend.
