(Rin's p.o.v)
I woke up feeling a weight on my chest. I look down and see Kuro curled up in a ball on my chest.
Huh? I can move again?
I carefully pick him up off my chest and place him on the bed next to me. I get up and look around.
Where am I?
This isn't my dorm.
The room I was in was huge and... blue?
It had various shades of blue and black. There were no curtains because there were no windows. There was a huge decorated mirror just in front of my bed. I walked up towards it, and I was shocked at what I saw.
I looked like...
A monster...
My eyes looked... strange. My irises looked all misshapen, sort of like flames and my pupils were bright red. My fangs were sharper and bigger, sort of like some kind of vampire. My ears were much more pointed, my skin was paler, my hair was... bluer? I looked down and I had sharp blue nails. Now I looked like a real demon.
Even more of a reason for people to hate me. Now, not only am I the son of Satan, but I look like the son of Satan too.
I turned around and saw Kuro just starting to wake up. He looked startled and taken back when he saw me and my new look.
'Rin? Is that you?' He asked.
"Yes Kuro, it's me..."
'Why do you look so different? Where are we? What's going on?' Just when he asked these questions I recalled yesterday's events.
"I think we're in... Gehenna." His eyes widened in shock. "And in Satan's palace...."
'S-S-Satan?' He looked nervous.
I would be nervous too, but I've stopped caring about what happens to me a long time ago. I nodded. Just then, I heard a knock on my door. Iblis walked in.
"Father, and our brothers are ready and waiting to greet you." He said in a serious tone of voice. "Get dressed and be ready in 10 minutes, I will send one of our guards to escort you." I said thank you for telling me and he left. He tells me that the clothes are in the closet.
I looked inside, the closet was filled with a bunch of outfits that looked more like costumes than regular clothing.
"Kuro, I can't wear this." One of them looked like some sort of tank top with these skinny pants. I can't wear that to meet my...brothers. Then they'd see all my...scars.
I chose the outfit that looks the most normal, a black long sleeved shirt and black pants that almost look like dress pants.
"Well, what do you think?" I asked Kuro.
'You look great Rin!'
I laughed for what seams like the first time in ages. It was a real laugh, not one that was forced like usual.
I looked back in the mirror. My eye bags were gone and my scars from cutting had all disappeared, almost like I was reborn.
Reborn as a wicked monster...
About 10 minutes later, one of the guards like the ones I saw outside the castle yesterday showed up. He looked like some kind of beast. He was large with black fur and looks like a minotaur. He had huge black horns, except this one wasn't wearing a bunch of armour. I could see his face, it looked like a bull and his eyes were black, beady, and emotionless.
"Ready, your majesty?" He said in a deep voice the rolled like thunder. I nodded nervously and followed him and Kuro trailed behind us.
We walked through hallways for what seemed like forever. They were long, dark, and dimly lit with a long blue carpet on the floor that appeared to be never ending. It was lit with black torches with blue flames. The walls had many paintings on them, one in particular caught my eye. It was a painting of a man and woman. The man had long, straight white hair that rested on his shoulders. He had a stern and superior look on his face. He wore all black, although what caught my eyes the most was that he was covered in blue flames. Next to him was a woman, she was very pretty. Her hair was wavy and brown, she had cyan eyes like Yukio's, and moles on her face like Yukio too. Except she also kind of looked like... me? The man also kind of looked like me in a way. His eyes were the same colour as mine too. Are these my parents? My real ones anyways. Is that supposed to be Yuri and Satan? She wore a purple dress and a crown, she looked like a queen.
After what felt like forever we made it to a large room with a huge dining table that looked like it could seat over 50 people. Other people were sitting at the table. The guard lead me to the table. Iblis noticed me and cleared his throat, everyone then stopped talking and looked at me. They all got up and ran towards me and started all talking to me at once, freaking me out a bit.
Iblis raised his voice and told them all to quiet down and act their age. They all regained their composure and fixed their outfits whiles others cleared their throats.
"Brothers, this is our youngest brother, Rin."
"I thought Yukio is the youngest one..." I said softly. They all seemed to hear me though, their heads shot towards me, some looked angered and other looked shocked.
"Umm, little brother, we don't say...that name... Around here, out loud."
"Why?" I asked tilting my head to the side.
"I will tell you later. Anyways, this here is Rin, our long lost brother. Care to introduce yourselves?" He said in a serious tone of voice, Iblis is probably the most mature one.
The one with blue hair spoke up first. "My name is Egyn, you probably know me as the demon king of water." Egyn had wavy sky blue hair with bright midnight blue tips. He had bright aqua blue eyes and pale skin, not as pale as mine though. He had a muscular built and he was about the same size as Iblis.
"I'm Azazel, demon king of spirits." I nodded my head, I was standing kind of behind Iblis, part of me was freaked out by them, maybe it's because I know that they're the demon kings and I don't know if they're safe yet since I'm just meeting them. He had light platinum blonde hair, and light blue eyes, his outfit was light grey and he was very pale like a spirit himself.
"I am Beelzebub, but you can call me Beele, that's what the others call me." I nodded my head, Kuro nuzzled at my leg. Beelzebub had green hair and yellow eyes with red pupils, he was more lean than buff like the others. Beelzebub had large wings that looks like an insects. He smiled at me.
"I'm Astaroth, I believe we've met before?"
"Yeah, I remember you, you attacked me and tried to burn my eyes out."
"Yeah, well I apologize that our first encounter had to turn out like that. I hope we can get to know each other better, and maybe I can get a second chance to properly introduce myself?"
I stayed silent.
"I guess that means no." Beelzebub whispered in Astaroth's ear loud enough for us all to hear.
Astaroth's face turned slightly red with embarrassment.
The last time I saw Astaroth he was possessing Reiji, but now he looks different from from him. He had somewhat long ashy blonde hair and ram horns, with a slightly mean expression on his face. He was almost as slender as Beelzebub, but not quite as.
I saw Amaimon standing there, he didn't say anything.
"What? He already knows who I am." He said in his usual monotone voice.
"Lucifer isn't here, neither is Samael, although you know Samael as Mephisto Pheles or John Faust." Iblis told me.
Iblis moved aside and pushed me in front of him when he noticed I was hiding behind him. He pushed me I front of him, a small squeaking noise came out of my mouth although I didn't mean for it to.
"U-um.. Hi." I said softly.
"Awww~" said Egyn.
"He's kinda cute." Beelzebub said. I blushed and covered my face. They all pulled me towards them and started a group hug with me squished in the middle.
They're not how I thought they would be. I thought they would be all, tough and scary being the strong and powerful demon kings. In cram school they were described to be malevolent and villainous monsters. But they don't seem like that at all. Maybe they're only nice to me because I'm family?
"Okay, okay, that's enough!" Iblis said breaking up the hug.
"NO!" Egyn said. "He's ours now!"
"Yeah, we've waited 1600 years for this moment, you're not going to ruin it!" Azazel said.
Iblis rolled his eyes. "Suit yourselves." He took a seat down at the dinner table. "It is almost breakfast anyways, you will have to break up this love fest sooner or later."
"Aweee!" They all said sounding disappointed. Soon two ladies in maid outfits came in with trays of food and said it was breakfast. Everyone sat down at the table. Azazel and Beelzebub sat next to me.
"U-um, is Satan coming too?" I asked.
"You mean father? No. Something came up, he and your mother will not be eating with us today." I nodded my head. The maids passed us our food, I thanked them and they smiled at me.
They all asked about my life back in Assiah, they all seemed mad when I talked about cram school and my old friends. Iblis even threatened to burn them alive, which shocked me, he didn't initially strike me as the caring and over protective type.
They told me a bit about father..who is Satan, and how things are in Gahenna, so my surprise, life here didn't sound too bad.
After breakfast Iblis and Beelzebub offered to show me more around the palace.
"U-um, Iblis?"
"Yes brother?"
"You promised to tell me why I'm not allowed to mention Yukio's name."
Beelzebub looked around frantically and Iblis tensed up which only made me more curious.
"Well.. It upsets father when we mention your twin brothers name."
"W-why?" What did Yukio ever do to them?
"*sigh* he, disappoints father. Your bother is willingly an exorcist, which makes him an enemy and a traitor to our kind. Not only that, but he treats you, our youngest and most precious sibling (a/n: because he has the blue flame, plus he's Yuri's son) with cruelty. He has murdered thousands of our subjects for no good reason beside the fact that we are demons. He is weak, he is a powerless human, he is egotistical, even for a prince of Gehenna. And worst of all, he looks very much like your mother, our fathers current and favoured lover, which disappoints him the most. It pains father knowing that his son is this way, so he chooses not to think of Yukio as his son, making you the youngest sibling. Understand?"
I nodded. "I think so."
"Good. Oh, and also, your training begins tomorrow."
"Training? What training?"
"Well, we need to train you to become the prince and future king you were meant to be. You begin tomorrow at dawn."
I don't exactly know what the demon kings look like, so this is my version of them. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please comment and vote. Bye.
