A Violet Flame

Episode 3

Sadao sat in Mephesto's office beside Emi, fidgeting and glancing around. 

"I see, so that's why you're here," Mephesto muttered, "I never thought things would be that bad back home."

"How can you, a demon, be here running a school?" Emi asked, her arms crossed defiantly. 

"I assure you I put the safety of my students above all else."

Emi quieted down and glanced at Sadao who was oddly silent. 

"Are you okay?" She asked. 

"Rin hates me," Sadao mumbled, "And I bet Yukio does too..."

Mephesto tapped his chin for a moment before saying, "Since you're weak right now and practically human, why don't you attend school here? You'll be able to rekindle your relationship with the twins."

Sadao's eyes brightened and he sat forward excitedly, "You mean that?!" 

"Sure. Plus it won't interfere with your job since we have a bullet train nearby. You can even share dorms." 

Sadao stood up and yelled, "Oh Yeah! Now that's what i'm talking about!"

"He can't!" Emi protested, standing up. "He's Satan! I have to keep an eye on him!"

"You can attend too if you'd like. I think it would be a good thing for father to be here."

Emi bit her lip as she glanced at Sadao's excited expression. With a sigh she muttered, "Alright I guess."

Standing in front of the class, Emi regretted her decision. She blushed as she was introduced and sat down in the seat she was assigned. Glancing to her side, her eyes widened as she recognized the face of the boy who sat beside her; Yukio. He seemed to take no notice of her and Emi narrowed her eyes, Great! this will give me the opportunity to keep an eye on Satan and his spawns! She thought. 

Yukio glanced at her briefly and despite herself, Emi whipped forwards, cheeks warm and her heart hammering in her chest. Confused at her reaction towards him, she sneaked a peak at him before returning her attention up front. "What's wrong with me?" She mumbled, placing a hand on her forehead.
