summary: figuring out on how to save greed.

───✱*.。:。✱*.:。✧*.。✰*.:。✧*.。:。*.。✱

It was hard on house of Lamentation since Mammon's out burst in pain. All the brother were silent and together-- a rare scene. After that out burst-- Mammon had passed out and is now laying in his bed, Barbatos beside him as he tries to figure out what has actually happened with the greed demon. Apparently-- Mammon's screeching has ranged around entire Devildom. His voice was loud enough to reach to the Demon Lord's residence. Barbatos and Diavolo both arrived at the house of Lamentation and found the brother in such a state. Lucifer holding onto an unconscious Mammon as panic took over the Pride demon. Satan was running around the house-- first aid kit, any pain killer, medicine-- everything was being gathered around and being brought to the greed demon's room.

The first thing Barbatos did was check Mammon's pulse and put his hand on the greed demon's forehead, trying to catch his tempreture. Barbatos held onto Mammon's hand-- it was too cold from the demon's normal tempreture-- he did not have a fever and had no signs of any illnesses. Barbatos then let his powers run free, trying to sense any sort of curse or potion that might cause such a thing. None was found.

Dejected and confused the time demon stood up from the bed and turned towards Lucifer and Diavolo, both having their eyes on Barbatos and Mammon's sleeping figure.

" I could not find any sort of problem.. " Barbatos blinked and looked back at Mammon-- his brows drawing together as a sudden feeling of irritation and hurt spread through his chest. Mammon was a strong demon-- fourth most powerful demon of Devildom yet.. he looked so fragile and soft-- weak even. Barbatos figured that he did not like it one bit. He found himself in a strange situation and he did not like it.

Lucifer this time came forward and sat down beside Mammon's sleeping figure. He brought Mammon's hand in his and rubbed them-- finding them too cold as well. Lucifer looked hurt-- panicked and afraid. He did not speak a word and kept quiet-- providing Mammon with any sort of comfort and warmth he could find. Belphegor and Beelzebub came towards them as well and sat down on the other side. Belphegor constantly wiping his eyes, trying to clean away the tears that ran down his cheeks as Beelzebub silently stayed beside him-- his sad and worried eyes trained on his unconscious older brother.

The scene broke both-- Diavolo and Barbatos' heart. The brothers looked.. weak. Without Mammon and him being in such a state was already breaking them down.

Lucifer was hurting. Probably not the same as Mammon but, it hurts. It felt like Mammon was leaving them-- leaving him. And this pain felt too familiar than he could register. It irked him.

He was not losing Mammon like he lost Lilith.

Lucifer picked Mammon up from bed and took him to the gate way. Belphegor and Beelzebub stood up and rushed towards them, Diavolo and Barbatos as well. Satan stopped from running around when he spotted Mammon in Lucifer's arms in the hallway. Who wonders what that Prideful basterd was doing. Before he could go follow them as the said demon's walked past him. Asmodeus stopped him.

" Really not the time to go and be mad at Lucifer, Satan. Mammon is our top priority. " Asmodeus said as he watched them strom towards the gate. The lust demon looked misareble-- he cried a lot Satan assumed. Satan huffed out an angry breath and looked at Mammon's face in Lucifer's arm. He looked in.. pain. So much pain and it showed in his face, clearly. Satan's expression softened and he marched toward them, Asmodeus not following him. He turned back and went back to Leviathan's room. He looked all over and saw the sea demon in the corner-- Henry 2.0 in his hands as he tries to stop his tears. A sudden panic attack. Asmodeus did not blame him. Leviathan wasn't good with disasters such as these. Asmodeus went up to him slowly and sat down beside him. Trying not to touch him because it might trigger him. He'll take care of Leviathan-- hoping that the rest will take care of Mammon.

Lucifer rushed Mammon to the hospital. Maybe something bigger then what they assumed happened to him. But he had no fever, but cold. He was so cold. Lucifer shielded Mammon's body from the rough temperature of Devildom by his jacket. Hiding his lower nudity with the longness of his clothing. Barbatos and Diavolo were right beside them. Barbatos' eyes never leaving Mammon's unconscious face, any sign of discomfort or waking up might help them.

They all arrived at the hospital in no time. The doctors and nurses rushed at them the moment they entered. Taking Mammon on a stretcher and on to the emergency department. Lucifer breathed out and stood there, watching Mammon go away. He realized that he didn't want Mammon to be alone. Lucifer blinked and went up to the counter. Calmly filling out the information that was needed. Diavolo beside him, watching him fill it up with shaking hands. Barbatos went up to the emergency ward and started to talk with the doctor-- as calmly as he could. Satan, Beelzebub and Belphegor were all standing there painfully and silently. Waiting patiently.

Barbatos had managed a possible way of someone staying with Mammon while the doctors check him, not wanting him to wake up in a panicked state by not finding anyone close to him. Lucifer was the one to stay with Mammon. It was necessary, they all agreed. Satan stayed silent all the time-- patient and calm-- before the storm that is.

Lucifer went to the room, a doctor escorting him. He reached there and saw Mammon, still unconscious. He sighed tiredly and sat down on the chair-- a little far from Mammon's bed. An IV was given to him as he took small breaths. The doctors were checking everything. They put him in a hospital gown. It took hours checking him, medical tools, curses and hexes, potion testing-- all of it. Mammon had still not awaken up, they were trying to find what was wrong with Mammon and what happened for his little outburst-- since it was Diavolo's order to look throughly into it. Finally after their checking was over-- the doctor came towards Lucifer as Lucifer stood up from his sit, bracing himself for whatever was coming at him.

" We took many tests and have a slight clue on what is happening to him. " The doctor said to Lucifer as they both walked out of the ward and went towards the waiting room. Lucifer followed the doctor and both of them reached there in no time. Entering the hallway-- Diavolo and Barbatos were standing as Satan, Beelzebub and Belphegor were sitting in the bench, closely. Asmodeus was there as well. Talking with the Demon Prince and the Royal butler.

All of their attention snapped towards them as they entered. Lucifer went up to Asmodeus as the lust demon gave him a questioning look.

" The doctor will give us results-- how is Leviathan? " Lucifer asked Asmodeus as the lust demon finally stopped his fidgeting. Asmodeus sighed. " He is alseep currently. Took my time to get here so he doesn't spook out when he sees I'm not there. " Asmodeus finished as Lucifer nodded at him. All of them turned to the doctor as he took out the result files.

" We have a small hunch on what is happening to Mr.MorningStar-- since his outburst, he is somehow is having his energy eaten and so he is unable to come to consciousness. He is alive because he is an Avatar and if were an normal sin what would happen to him would not be colourful. " Doctors said as Lucifer felt panic settle down again.

" We think there is an parasite in his body that is feeding off his life source. Normally parasites are weak-- they can be sensed and killed very easily but the parasite that happens to be in Mr.MorningStar is considered to be strong. We'll try our best to bring it out and capture it but till then everything is unclear. " The doctor finished and excused himself. All the demons that were present there-- stood in silence and let the information sink in.

" Aren't parasites normally cast upon the victims? Does that mean someone had done this on purpose? " Belphegor finished as Satan started to shake from possible anger. He seething was loud and clear as he tried to calm himself. Barbatos coughed and turned Lucifer's attention to him.

" I'll find the culprit. " Barbatos finished as he hurried went to the entrence. Barbatos had to find who it was-- that's the least he could do to help Mammon. It'll be easy for him to find them. He will. He promised himself.
