A Game Of Logic (A Blue Exorcist Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Unfortunately, still in Gehena, Malika was impatiently opening every doors on her way. She decided that Assiah should be the perfect play ground, if even Amaimon could stay there for so long. But to travel to her new play land, she needed to open a Gehena gate but she knew better than to use her own blood, Father would understand what was going on right away if she did that. She needed to find Iblis and get him to open it for her. Iblis often opened the gates to let some lower fire demons to Assiah so, he had the perfect alibis. But she had been looking for him for five hours now and she still couldn't find him!

An hour or two later, Malika finally found the demon king of fire on the roof of the second part of the 3rd wing of the castle.

"Brother! How fancy seeing you here! I actually wanted to talk to you about something!" Malika is said faking surprise.

Iblis, however, was not impressed in the slightest. "Not in the mood, go play with your dolls or something, baby face." He grumbled.

"Ouch, that hurt! And may I remind you that I am not the youngest of the family anymore." She countered, with a little smile, knowing damn too well that was a touchy subject, but not quite as touchy than what she was really here for.

"I know that, damn it! I don't need to be reminded of that by you!" Iblis answered back, looking even more pissed than before.

Malika smirked. He was reacting just the way she had planned. "Oh! I know you don't need a reminding, I just had to see your face when I said that!" She replied with a look full of something that could only be described as Innocence.

It wasn't.

"Go to hell." he murmured.

Her smile widened, she suddenly looked excited. "But brother I'm already here!" She replied with sparkling eyes.

Iblis did not hesitate and threw a punch at her. She didn't even move, she just stood there, still smiling wildly. His face was priceless when his punch went through her making her image vanish only leaving some orange colored smoke behind. "Oops...... you missed." Malika giggled.

Iblis turned around to see his sister behind him, still smiling. The look on his face was priceless! "And by the way, your such a bad brother! Why did I deserve such mean words?"

Iblis scowled, not at all happy with his sister who never stopped taunting him. 'Oh no! His face lost it's funny expression, now he just looks mad. How boring...'. She thought. "Get out of here, I don't wanna play." He snapped turning away from his sister.

"Awww, you're mad?" She asked with a tiny childish voice.

"No, now go." He answered without even looking at her.

"Common, stop lying! You're mad?"

"No!"

'Oh, I just pissed brother, just as expected.' Malika thought to herself, smirking. "Don't be mad! I may even stop teasing you!" She pleaded.

"I'm not mad! I just want to be alone!" Iblis lied.

''Brother! Stop stealing my power. After all that time, it is illogical for you not to know that you can't lie to me! I am supposed to be the only one that can defie logic! I know you're mad, stop trying to get away with it.'' She scowled teasingly.

She was having fun teasing her brother, yet only for a little while and she was now growing more and more impatient and with her impatience, grew her determination to go to Assiah. "You're never going to leave me alone unless I listen to what you have to say, will you?" He said with a dissapointed look on his face.

"Nope!" The younger demon answered popping the "p" with a widening smile.

He sighed "Okay, what do you want?"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaay" She yelled running to him and crushing him in a tight hug that was more to tease him than to show him any kind of affection.

"I wanna go to Assiah. Open the Gehena gate for me." The 'young' girl demanded, giving her brother her best pleading eyes.

"No" He answered immediately.

"Oh common!" She begged.

"No."

"Pretty please?" She said with her begging, cute eyes of hers which could normally compel any of her brothers to do anything she wanted.

Her older brother simply avoided his sister's gaze and barely looked her in the eyes. "No!"
"Yes!" She eagerly replied.
"NO." He screamed.
"YES." She screamed back.

They were starting to raise the tones but Iblis promptly calmed himself down. Malika was very disappointed. That was one of the two possibilities and it was not the best one... People were easier to manipulate when they were angry.

"I won't do it." "But whyyyyyyyy?" She asked pouting, even though she had already guessed the answer. "Father is already not very pleased at me because he thinks I hate our new brother, so I won't play this dangerous game with you and risk to be punished."

' Yep, same ol' logic... same old boring logic.' Malika thought, rolling her eyes."Exactly! He is busy right now with his 'Rin problem'..." Iblis growled when he heard their brother's name. "...I bet he won't even notice anything!"

Iblis frowned. "So why don't you do it yourself then?" he asked with a challenging look on his face. "Because, if he does notice something, you have the perfect alibi because of these lower demons you're letting through!"

Iblis lowered his head seemingly lost in thoughts, probably weighing the pros and the cons. "Na-ha, I can't" He finally said, looking up to his sister.

Malika emitted a frustrated growl. She was usually very good at convincing the people around her to do things for her. Then again, no demon, not even his sister he affectionated very much, was worth being punished by Satan.

" I really hoped you would have said yes." She sighed before vanishing into nothing but smoke. Iblis felt a wind on his neck and heard a whisper of his sister in his hear. " I'm kinda sorry. No hard feelings, okay?"

Then, she sliced the demon king of fire's arm open so that his blood would fall to the ground. Iblis wasn't in any position to fight her. He was boiling from the inside watching the gate forming before him. Then, Malika waved goodbye to him and jumped in, a smile of victory on her face. She was then completely consumed by the gate, that finally closed itself, disappearing, leaving only a small trace of Iblis blood behind.
