I had a bad idea. Now you will be subjected to it. Because I am evil.

Rin was tired, happy, but tired. He loved Metatron and his apparently angelic family. He loved understanding and being able to control his strength better.

That did not keep him out of fights though. He had to protect Yukio where he could. And that meant at school, against bullies, much to Shiro's worry.

He saw the worry when Rin returned with scraped knuckles and bruised cheeks. He knew when he'd have to see Shiro's look of dissapointment and worry next to Metatron's acceptance and thankfulness that he was okay.

It had been truly six months of unbridled joy.

So he had been just mildly surprised when Metatron showed up with Azrael, Haniel, Raguel and Zadkiel, grinning like a mad man, as he got ready for his family's festivities for Christmas and his and Yukio's birthday.

"Sandalphon! Get everyone organized!"

"What? Why me?"

"Because Raguel will take to long and we may have only one shot at this!"

"Do we really have to photobomb their picture?"

"Yes!"

Rin giggled as he dressed in his holiday clothes for the church's little holiday card. He didn't know who they sent cards to, but Shiro insisted he had this one friend who adored them. Rin assumed it was one of his exorcist friends he wasn't supposed to know about.

"Everyone scrunch in! Don't be afraid to get close! Raguel, a little closer to Shiro please," Sandalphon commented as the priests readied themselves. Haniel had jumped onto one of the priest's back like a little monkey. Azrael had put his arm on Haniel's shoulder trying to keep him still. Zadkiel was crouched behind both Yukio and Rin as Metatron through his arm behind both Rin and Yukio.

"Good- Haniel! Wings!"

"Sorry!" he said pulling his wings down as Sandalphon sat down next to Yukio, putting his arm behind Yukio and Rin much like his brother as the timer went off. The flash blinded Rin for a moment, making him blink a few times as Shiro went to check on the picture.

"Great picture!" Shiro smiled, recieving cheers from every human.

"Well it could have been better," Raguel muttered as Metatron rolled his eyes.

"It's good enough!"

"Why did you want us in the picture Metatron?"

Rin held his tongue, knowing the priests couldn't see the Angels.

"Actually Rin came up with the idea."

Rin's smiled brighter and turned to interact with the priests and his brother.

"There's more to this isn't there brother?" Sandalphon questioned.

"Well... God has a great sense of humor."

"Oh please no-"

"Oh yes."

The Angels had looks varying of concern and amusement as Rin swiped a few cookies, cut in the shape of Angels.

"Metatron! You want a cookie?"

"I would love one," Metatron proclaimed, effectively ending the conversation between himself and the other Angels.

"What about us?" Azrael asked in a pitiful tone. The Angels and Rin stared at the usually dower angel.

"What? I like cookies."

Raziel wasn't sure what God was thinking. Heck, he didn't even know what was going on until it was too late.

Sure he had heard of the Okumura children. He had been their for their birth with Gabriel to allow the children safe passage from their dying mother to the famed paladin. But was this was rediculous.

And if not for the fact he had his connections and a well working knowledge of the universe, he wouldn't have even been given this task.

Thankfully, the task was simple. He just didn't want to see this blow up in Assiah's face. Not that it really would but, better pray still.

Satan was tired. Goodwill and peace on earth were fine and dandy for some, but exorcists seemed to take it as a personal challenge to exorcize every demon they could for God.

Didnt they know how freaking loud it made Gehenna. Granted, he could kill the little vermin, as he often did anyway, but he had to deal with his sons first.

Yep. He freaking hated Christmas season.

"My Lord," his current personal maid squeaked.

"What. I told you not to disturb me," he growled, blue flaming torches growing brighter.

"My sincerest apologies," she cried and held out a small postcard, "It's from God."

"God?" He questioned, snatching the postcard from her. She ran from the room as quick as she could. Satan stared at the postcard baffled, in it were the priests at the Paladin's church along with Rin, his heir, and Yukio, Yuri's heir.

As much as the existence of the postcard in Gehenna baffled him, it was nothing compared to the bewilderment of seeing archangels posing with his boys. Not even the 'Merry Christmas Satan' written in elegant script, at the top of the card.

He should have burned the card. Instead, he walked over to his nightstand and placed it gently inside, a bittersweet smile on his face.

I know it's not Christmas, but come on! What else would be so funny? Christmas cards from the Angels to Satan. The idea wouldn't leave me alone and I didn't want to wait! Like I said earlier, a bad idea. Anyway, the newest archangels...

Raziel's name means 'secret of God' because he works so closely with God that he knows all of the secrets of the universe, and how it operates. Raziel can help you too understand esoteric material and increase you ability to see, hear, know and feel Divine guidance. Alchemy, divine magic and manifesting. Patron Angel of Law Makers and Lawyers.

Gabriel's name means 'God is my strength. Gabriel is the Angel of child conception or the process of adopting a child. This archangel also helps anyone whose life purpose involves art or communication. Defender of the Element of Water and of the West. The Angel of resurrection, mercy and peace and benefactor of " messengers". Purity, rebirth, creativity, prophecy, purifying your thoughts, body and & the Arts. Patron Angel of all who work in the field of communications. postal workers, and clergy.

Truthfully, I would love to see more Rin sending postcards of celebrating religious holidays to Satan. Like Easter and Christmas.
