Abel and Cain

Chapter 4

I owe you all this chapter so here we go.

Iblis and Beelzebub snicker as they walk down the hallway of the dorm. They had just finished terrorizing some of the students there and it was so much fun. Although Beelzebub can be a bit of a blubbering idiot, he can be competent when they] get down to business. “Hehe. That was pretty refreshing ya know? Seeing their faces.” Says Iblis with a sadistic smirk in place. 

“Is that so?” 

The two Demon Kings stopped in their tracks. The last thing they wanted was to bump into their older brother Samael or any of the other Demon Kings. But alas, the Demon King of Time was right behind them with their three brothers. 

“What are you doing here?!” Iblis snarled. Mephisto folds his arms. “Same question we ought to ask you given your meddling.” He says in a stern tone. Beelzebub cowers in fear. Shit. I hope he does not know the truth!!

“H-Hey….d-don’t ya think you are taking things outta context?” says Beelzebub in his usual cowardly manner. Amaimon glares at him. “Those wounds inflicted on Kirigakure….surely that can’t be any of our minions or familiars. Those seem to be your handiwork. Or are we lying?” Astaroth says as he scrutinizes his brothers. Wherever those two bumbling idiots go, there is always some form of mischief involved.

“Tch!! What’s the big deal over that anyways?” says Iblis. “To you, it may not be a big deal but you do know that I am the Headmaster of this school and if anything happens to the staff, I would be the first suspect due to my demonic heritage.” Says Mephisto as he squints at his brothers who simply keep quiet.

“Ah Mr. Pheles, fancy seeing….” Yukio stops in his tracks as soon as he sees Mephisto and their other brothers. He figured that sooner or later the Headmaster would figure out their wicked game. However, he can still manipulate things for a while until the jig is up. “Am I interrupting something?” he asked, using his acting skills to feign innocence despite being the one that brought the duo there.

Mephisto simply shakes his head with a fake smile in place. He had always been suspicious of Yukio for a while and would need to keep a close watch on the boy just to see what mischief he gets up to. That is if his theory on the boy turns out to be true.

“Oh just saw these two miscreants here and was having a chat is all.” He said. Yukio nods. “Ah well if you excuse me, I have a couple of errands to run.” With that, he walks off. Once Yukio was out of earshot, Mephisto then turns to his brothers. “You both better leave these premises or else..” With that, he and the other two Demon Kings walk off.

“That was close.” Says Iblis, heaving with a sigh of relief. “You both were not smart.” They whip around in shock to see Yukio standing there, arms folded. “B-But you said you had errands to run…” says Beelzebub, earning a knock in the head from Iblis. Yukio simply rolls his eyes. “I am shocked that Mephisto did not see through my deception or magic. So-Called King of Time manipulation.” He says. He then smirks. “But no matter. This will make our game even more fun…”

Meanwhile, Rin, Paku and Izumo were in the limo on their way to Mephisto’s mansion. “So what next Rin?” Paku asked. Rin raises an eyebrow. “You mean like whether I would continue with Exorcist stuff right?” Paku nods. Izumo leans forward, waiting for his reply.

Rin then sighs. “To be honest with you. Even I don’t know. Part of me wants to continue and another part of me wants to take a different path. The question now is which path.”
