Rin reamined as still as possible, but ready to run nonetheless. While he wouldn't back down from a challenge, everything about where he was made his body tense, as if to tell him he was in great danger. From incense he could often smell on Haniel or Azrael's robes and the crosses etched in on the wooden mold of the room ever so faintly.

His eyes darted to the smallest male who took a step forward, trying to be confident.

"M-My name is Konekomaru Miwa. I am your tamer," he said with as much confidence as he could muster. Rin blinked in confusion. Summon? Like what Metatron often talked about when he was human?

"Ah, I see," he said dumbly while looking around. Metatron was nowhere in sight. And the two girls had demons around them. Something small and green for the cute blond, and two kitsunes for the dour pigtail wearer. Summons. So that meant he was... Somewhere.

"Hey Konekomaru, where are we exactly?" Rin asked casually.

"You don't know?" the largest guy, Rin was guessing a student, asked. The man with the bandages scowled at Rin.

"Tell me. What kind of demon are you Sadao Maō?" He demanded. Rin averted his gaze and averted his eyes to the side. He couldn't very easily say he was the son of Satan could he? What else was he supposed to say?

"The demony kind?" he said aloud. He could hear the little green thing and the foxes chuckle at his response. The man with the eyepatch narrowed his good idea while the, who Rin could assume we're students, stared at him warily. Rin tried to be casual as he looked around the room. He nearly choked when his eyes landed on an angelic woman behind a short haired girl.

He... Had no idea who she was. But it was probably a bit rude to stare given the other demons just ignoring her. He quickly averted his eyes, noting a piece of paper in the shortest boy's hand.

"Oy! Look at us you shady demon!" The large guy said again.

"Why?" he asked innocently, giving large and pitiful eyes to the group.

"Some kind of ugly Incubus?" one of the girls muttered.

"Oi, I'd like to think I'm downright dashing," Rin defended.

"Absolutely stunning I'm sure," a voice interrupted making Rin's hair stand on end.

"Director Pheles," the adult male gasped. Rin felt the familiar arm from his eldest brother fall around his shoulder. He felt the demon in humanish skin pinch his cheeks playfully.

"Ah, now what are you doing out of the kitchens little Ukobach boy?"

"Eh? There is no way-"

"How could he be-"

"Director-!"

"Now now. One at a time. Simply put, Miwa summoned a rather young Ukobach. In your books, I'm sure it mentions how younger ones with higher energy can take human form to cook in kitchens hm?" he spoke in a rather matter of tone.

The students looked at one another, not quite sure what to make of what he had just said. Rin just said nothing and let Samael handle the situation.

"Ah, you all need to study more. Poor little baby here doesn't even know to keep his tail in," he said grasping something, making Rin yelp. The object wrapped itself around Rin in a slightly frightened manner. He was caught between Pauling and blushing when it occurred to him it was his tail. He then felt two fingers pry his mouth open, unaware he was beckoning the students over to see something.

"Look, see. His fangs are barely any sharper than your own canines. If he were anything but a baby, those fangs would be downright sharp."

The fingers were pulled out abruptly making Rin cough.

"But unlike other baby demons, an Ukobach's defense in it's youth is taking a human appearance and escaping to Assiah until it reaches maturity. Which won't be for at least six more years. So unless you need someone to cook for you, that's all this little guy is good for," Samael said tapping Rin on his head. Rin stuck his tongue out at Samael who only laughed.

"Adorable really. But you should send him back. Young Ukobach's have an important schedule to keep. They can get angry if thrown off a rhythm at a young age."

"Oh, uh, alright," Konekomaru muttered meekly. Rin felt a jolt down his spine as the paper was ripped in half. His body felt lighter, than back to normal as he felt the familar wood floor beneath his shoes. Azrael's voice attempting to calm Metatron down.

"If Satan so much as harms one hair on his precious little head-"

"Metatron, please calm down."

"Um guys?"

"He messed with the wrong angel."

"Guys?"

"Metatron-"

"He will rue the day-!"

"Guys!"

"Oh! Rin, you scared us," Metatron said after jumping in surprise, "Wait, Rin!"

Metatron threw his arms over his protectee, his wings shielding Rin from the world.

"Oh, thank goodness you're alright," he said. He put Rin at arm's length to look him in the eye.

"Where were you? We were so worried."

"I was summoned," Rin blurted out. Metatron blinked in confusion.

"Azrael-?"

"Don't ask me. I've never heard of a case like this," Azrael said shrugging his shoulders, "It could be his father's blood."

"Whatever it was, I'm just glad Yukio didn't see me."

"Why? Were you at True Cross?"

"Yeah. And according to Samael, I'm apparently an infant Ukobach."

"Ugh. Why didn't I see it sooner?"

"Wait, do I seriously look like a baby Ukobach?"

"Rin," Azrael spoke up, "Samael is many things, but he is not a liar. There is always a level of truth to his words."

"At least Ukobachs tend to be gentle demons."

"I guess," Rin said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Do they all have tails though?"

"What tail?"

"This... One? Where did it go?"

"Rin, turn around please."

Rin complied, putting his full trust in the angel as he often did. He felt his shirt get lifted up and his pants pulled slightly lower.

"Is that a-"

"Yep."

"What? What is it?"

"Well, since you were summoned, your demon blood was called out to. So you grew a tail. But when the summon ended your demon blood was recontained. But since it had already manifested, it couldn't just... Disappear."

"And that means?"

"You have a tattoo of your tail from your tailbone to about halfway up your back," Metatron said bluntly.

"What?!" Rin yelped, running to the bathroom. He craned his neck around to look at his back's reflection. Sure enough, he had a question marked tattoo on his back that seemed to have an odd shaped fluffy looking bit at the "tip" of the tail.

"Did anything else happen while you were gone? Summoning, getting a tail, and Mephisto is stressful enough."

"Well, I think I saw another angel," Rin said dumbly, still baffled by the mark.

"Huh. Not a good hider then. I wouldn't worry too much about it Rin."

"She was kind of pretty-"

"Whoa! Hold up. She?"

"Yeah. What's the problem?"

Azrael looked nervous, "You know, I should probably tell Raguel."

"Wait! Azrael!" Metatron called out as Azrael disappeared.

"Metatron. What's going on?" Rin asked in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Ah, you should have noticed by now all the Angels you've met have been male."

"Yeah."

"Well, female Angels tend to be stealthier. In fact, the only one I know on a more personal level who would just sit out in the open, is Ariel."

"Ariel? Isn't she an archangel?"

"Yeah. And she would have been your teacher if Michael couldn't. What was she doing at True Cross though?"

"Protecting someone? She was behind a short haired brunette."

"Maybe. I'm sure I'll hear from her," he waved off to not make Rin worry.

Some people thought the last chapter ruined everything. Meh. I still like it and this follow up.

Archangel Ariel ~

Ariel's name means 'Lion or lioness of God' and this archangel is associated with lions and animals. Ariel is involved with healing and protecting nature and that includes the animals, fish and birds, especially the wild ones. Environmentalism. Patron Angel of Wild Animals

So yeah.
