Chapter 2

Rin woke once more, this time drowsily, his minute movements sluggish. He was content to lay there in a half-asleep daze for a while longer, but a soft knock at the door kept him from his slumber.

" Yukio, It's too early. Le'me sleep." He slurred, brows scrunching in confusion at the deep chuckle his brother omitted. Oh, right. Dad was home. " Dad? Is tha' you?"

" Yes, did you have a nice rest, my child?"

Rin was about to respond with a hum of agreeance, the sleepy noise dying in his throat as the voice registered in his mind. He shot up, dizziness hitting him head-on, peering at the man who claimed to be his father.

He was abnormally pale, with long white hair and blood-red eyes, taller than any man he had ever seen before, with twin horns swirling on top of his head, electric blue in colour. On a closer look, he realised that they were on fire . Blue fire.

" What, you're not dad!" He shrieked, paling as the man came closer, reaching out to pat his hair.

" Hm, I'd always hoped that one of my children would get my hair colour, even Lucifer's and Azazel's is off by a few shades, but yours matches perfectly. Although, your eyes are as blue as your mother's, even in demon form. What a perfect combination." He stared into Rin's eyes with adoration and obsession, not solely aimed at him.

Rin's mind raced to catch up, his mental turmoil showing clearly on his face. The most he could croak out was a small "What?"

The man opened his mouth, revealing sharp, deadly looking fangs, lips twisted into a mockery of a sweet smile. " Now, there's no need for you to think so much about this, young one. It's best to just accept-"

" No! What? You-you took me! Where am I? I want dad! I want dad! Dad!" Rin shouted, gripping the sheets harshly, tears rolling down his cheeks. A ripping sound reached his ears, and he looked down to see the sheets in tatters, claws adorning his fingertips. " W-wh-what-" he croaked out, trembling slightly.

" You interrupted me." Came a cold, unfamiliar voice that sent shivers wracking down his spine. Rin's head shot up, body recoiling as his gaze met with glowing red eyes, many pairs of them that had begun to sprout on the man's body. " I do not and will not tolerate such a thing. Usually, you would already cease to exist, my dear boy. But, since you are my son and new to Gehenna, I will give you a simple warning. Never interrupt me, or it will be the last thing you do, mine and Yuri's precious son or not." His eyes dimmed, receding into his skin, the icy look disappearing as if it had never existed. " Now, Rin, what do you say about having breakfast, hm? The chefs have been working for hours on end, I ordered it to be perfect for you, as it is your first meal here, after all."

The man snapped his fingers, and Rin was suddenly dressed in formal wear, gaping down at himself.

" Come along, we don't want it to get cold. Besides, Beezlebub has probably started eating already." The man reached down, slipping his arms around his waist to cradle him against his chest, Rin too stunned to move.

Satan flings open the door with a gust, startling the guards who were awaiting from behind it. The group immediately dropped to their knees, heads pressed to the floor.
