Kings and a prince

Ch 14

Waking up beside Amaimon was a special little treat that was rare, only making it more blissful. Rin was able to drag the demon king out of bed rather easily. Preparing breakfast with a daze had become second nature and as normally he was able to prepare quite the feast for the two of them. He had gotten in the habit of preparing a little bit more food than normal since Amaimon was so keen on devouring everything Rin gave him.

The soothing aroma of his freshly made food was enough to clear Rin of morning buzz and get him ready for the day. The proteins and carbs of his meal also provided him with an energized and clear mind, now it was time to study. Studying was his least favorite thing about his day, but at least it was better than being at school.

Amaimon was sure to assist Rin on his questions and test Rin's knowledge over the things he had previously learned. Amaimon liked being the teacher, he could reward Rin; however, he wanted and Rin could give him affection while he studied. It was a perfect workaround for the problems presented in the normal classroom.

He could touch, cuddle, bother/love, and help Rin without being judged or having to abide by the PDA rules. The stupid rules were stupid, Amaimon deserved to show his love to his mate regardless of what his mates found gross. Rin was his to love, and no human could stop that.

Though Amaimon wasn't the perfect teacher he still was able to convey the lessons better to Rin, along with the simplified curriculum from Shura; Rin felt as if he was beginning to understand everything.

Soon it was lunch and Rin was free from learning for a bit. Taking his short period of freedom he decided to go spend it bothering the exwires during lunch. He decided to go for a walk, he needed fresh air and sunlight.

The day was pleasant, the sky was a crisp sapphire blue with little cotton wisps of clouds sparsely scattered. The threat of snow lingered in the form of a dark cloud on the horizon, it would be a good two or three hours before it would be overhead. So it was safe to eat outside for the time being.

"Hey, Shima," Rin said happily approaching his friend.

"Rin, Shura is looking for you," Shima ran over to Rin, and stress welded up in his eyes.

"There you are, Rin you need to go to Mephisto's office now," Shura ordered quickly, pushing the Nephilim along.

"Wait what is going on?" Rin's brows furrowed in confusion.

"I will explain when we get there," Shura snapped in response. Rin could hear past the defensive snarl, her fear scared him more than any demon could dream of.

Rin nodded and obeyed. Running to the door and brandishing the Kamikakushi Key. He stuck the golden device into the lock and before he turned a sword was at his neck. The cold metal was a familiar feeling.

Caliburn, the Paladins sword was not a sword he wished to have anywhere near his body, especially after his first encounter. Nothing could remove the memory of the feeling of that sharp edge sliding and shearing the tendons in his ankle.

"I can take over his capture from here on out Shura," Arthur said softly, looking over to the enraged female.

Shura stood frozen as she kept her mouth shut, if he provoked a reaction from her Rin would be in more danger than he already was. So Shura stood silently, averting her gaze to Shima who took the cue and ran.

Rin didn't have a chance to defend himself before he felt a soft sting, accompanied by a loss of nearly all senses. His knees buckled and could no longer hold him and he fell backward, the key stayed in the lock and the small thread string snapped.

Causing a line of red to spread across Rin's neck before it faded back to the soft tones of Rin's skin. The rope burn was the last thing he could recall before darkness overtook him.
