Rin felt drained. Meeting Metatron had been a godsend no doubt, but he had no idea it would make him so tired.

Then again, Shiro always was one to tell him he wasn't a demon, and Metatron told him his father was in fact Satan of all dark deities. He denied it. Metatron had been eerily calm and had made it clear through Rin's past transgressions and the fact that he was able to see more, being an angel that, yes, he was Satan's son. He then got angry and tried to lash out against Metatron who told him what he was. It didn't last long as Metatron merely hugged him like Shiro would when he was angry. He tried to bargain becoming a monk, anything to remove what demonic part he had. Now, he just felt depressed.

It didn't help that the priests were trying to figure out what he was upset about, or that his brother looked concerned. It really didn't help when Rin saw a man hovering near Yukio, dressed in robes similar to Metatron. Especially with how casual Metatron was seeing him.

"Rin, you know it's going to be okay," Metatron sighed, appearing tired of Rin's depression, "Just because you have some fallen angel blood in you, it doesn't make you evil."

"Everyone was right. I am a demon." He flopped onto his bed, burning his face in his pillow, just wanting to ignore the world. Metatron frowned at the young child.

"I'm friends with a few demons."

"You're an angel. How could you be friends with a demon?"

"Well, not all demons are bad. They're just more aggressive and in tune with what they want instead of what the Lord wants. Sometimes it's for the better... Most often times not," Metatron admitted. Rin turned his head from his pillow and just stared at Metatron for a moment.

"Metatron!" A new voice hissed. A slightly nervous chuckle escaped from Metatron as he turned to face the door.

"Ah, my dear brother. How lovely it is to see you-"

"Don't give me that Metatron! What are you doing here?"

"Well, same as you Sandalphon. I'm watching over and guiding a human."

The dark haired watcher over Yukio glanced over at Rin. His eyes softened for a moment before starting to freak out, "Please tell me he's not staring at us! Is there someone behind me?"

"Ah, no. He can see us, can't you Rin?"

"Yeah," Rin said, pushing himself up right from his bed. Despite all he had learned earlier, it was rather amusing to see an angel so flustered. And well, human. Actually, the more Rin stared, the more the angel appeared to look like an older, less moley and darker haired version of his brother.

"Tell me you didn't awaken his blood."

"Perish the thought. Rin has Clairvoyance."

"Clair-what-ance?"

"Clairvoyance. The ability to see spirits, or well, Angels."

"It's bad enough Yukio gets spooked by demons, and now Rin can see Angels? This is madness!"

"It"s God's will," Metatron shrugged.

"Can't you take this seriously?"

"Um... Metatron?" Rin interrupted. The two angels turned to Rin, Metatron looking amused while Sandalphon appeared embarrassed.

"Yes Rin?"

"Can Yukio really see demons?"

The two angels were quiet for a moment. Sandalphon muttered to himself about keeping his mouth shut as Metatron sat at the foot of Rin's bed.

"Yes," he said bluntly, "Yukio has been able to see demons since he was born."

Rin looked hurt and angry.

"Is it because of me?"

"Yep."

"Metatron!"

"What? When Rin was born, he had so much demonic energy around him, that when Yukio was born, it made him receive a temptaint."

"Temptaint?" Rin asked, his anger ebbing away slightly.

"Interaction with a demon too great to be ignored. So Yukio can see demons of all kinds."

"Where are they?" Rin questioned, ready to fight. Metatron laughed.

"Well not here. Your priests do a pretty good job of warding the place. And since my brother and I are now assigned to you and your brother, they'll be sparce for a while until they get used to our holy energy. I have no doubt that in three days time, you'll be seeing little irritating coal tars in abundance."

"Coal tars?" Rin yawned.

"Mmhm. But we can talk about it in the morning. Why don't you get some sleep while Sandalphon and I go check on your brother."

"M'kay," Rin said laying his head back down on the pillow. His eyes shut almost instantly.

The two quickly left the room, Metatron muttering a prayer of protection over it.

The two angels stood in the hall quietly. Sandalphon broke the silence first.

"Do the others know?"

"If the Lord has told them, then yes."

Sandalphon groaned.

"Raguel is not going to be pleased."

"When is he ever? You know what a perfectionist he is."

"You know he's going to want to meet the newest human capable of Clairvoyance."

"I know. Sandalphon, everything happens for a reason. Rin can see us. God has given me a chance to protect and guide him. Where his father descended and fell from heaven, perhaps..."

"Perhaps he will join the angelic choir?"

"It would certainly be better than Gehenna. He's a good kid."

"The road to hell is often times paved with good intentions."

"God forgives those who truly repent."

"We have gotten ourselves in quite the mess haven't we?"

"We have. Do you know... Do you know the Lord's plan for Yukio?"

"He'll be an exorcist. Fighting against his demonic blood, trying to shield his brother from it."

Metatron snorted, "Bit late for that now, don't you think?"

"It doesn't change what Yukio knows."

"You're not going to tell him?"

"Brother... He has no active demon blood. He doesn't have Clairvoyance."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Oh."

"My bad. Sometimes I forget how different twins can be."

The twins Sandalphon and Metatron watching over Yukio and Rin.

This can only end so well.
