Rin's POV

   I'm waiting for Amaimon with Kuro and our father in the throne room, wondering what in Gahenna is taking him so long. We leave in ten minutes, courtesy of my fire traveling abilities, which enabled me to go between Assiah and Gahenna.

Amaimon's POV

   At a speed only a demon king could achieve, I flew through the castle, grabbing every sweet I could find, only leaving sweets for those who needed them to survive.
   Once I had enough sweets, I flew to my room. To keep the sweets together, I dumped them into a forest green velvet bag and pulled the gold drawstring, closing the bag. Noticing the time, I then hastily packed some clothes into a suitcase and threw it, as well as the candy bag, into my pocket dimension.
   "I'm not late, am I?" I asked upon arriving in the throne room. Father, after noticing me, passed Rin a pastry with a vanilla cream filling, judging by the smell. Sugary, to help Rin regain energy after flame traveling.

Rin's POV

   Once Amaimon finally arrived with a minute to spare, Father passed me a vanilla flavored pastry, which I gratefully accepted. Amaimon grasped my other hand and Kuro sat on my head, physical contact was necessary for me to take someone or something with me when I flame travel.
   "See you soon, Father," Amaimon and I said at the same time.
   "I look forward to it, my sons, and you better have Yukio with you, if not everyone."
   "We'll have everyone. Goodbye, Father." With that, I focused on my blue flames engulfing us, turning us into flames, and setting down gently in front of True Cross Academy all in one piece.
   When we arrived, I immediately ate the pastry before I collapsed. I wasn't used to travelling to Assiah, as I hadn't done it more than five times by myself, each time on accident.
   "Brother, are you okay?" Amaimon said, catching me and Kuro.
   "Yeah, just tired. I haven't built a resistance to travelling between Assiah and Gahenna. Let's find Mephisto now." I stood and spread my wings, ready to take off. Amaimon jumped into the sky and I followed, flapping my wings gracefully, similar to a bird.

Yukio's POV

   I looked towards the sky as I sat in the courtyard, waiting for the normal school lunch to end, only to see a floating person and another flying beside them with wings. They were too high to make anything out, but I caught a glimpse of green and maroon. Immediately, I realized the floating figure was none other than Amaimon, the demon king of earth. Unfortunately, the winged figure was too high to make out any details.
   I need to tell Mephisto about this, I thought, though before I could act, the bell rang and I had to return to class. With Mephisto already agitated with me for some reason, I figured that it wasn't in my best interest to skip class to talk to him. Hopefully Amaimon won't do anything until exorcists can be deployed to stop him.

Rin's POV

   Since I was stronger than Mephisto, I was able to get into True Cross with Amaimon, as I figured out when I yanked him through Mephisto's charm barrier. We flew over the academy high enough to where people barely had a chance to glimpse the color of our clothing or hair, much less see our faces.
   Looking down, I saw Yukio, thanks to my enhanced vision. As a demon king, I had enhanced senses and even a "danger sense" as well as night vision due to my domain. He seemed to recognize Amaimon as his eyes widened then gained an angry, murderous glint once they returned to normal.
   "Let's get to Mephisto's office. Now." Amaimon nodded in response and grabbed my hand as I could fly faster than him. Within a few seconds, we broke the window to Mephisto's office, gracefully landing and aggravating Mephisto.
   After a small tirade on how we always break things and he always has to fix them, I glared at him to make him shut up. Wisely, he did.
   "I assume that Amaimon and I are sharing a room with Yukio, as to protect him from attacks during the night. We'll be attending classes with him as well, won't we? Does he know that I am alive?"
   "Yes, you will be sharing a room with him. It's the triple room in the old dorm. You guys have the entire building to yourselves. I've notified the teachers of this, but not Yukio. You may remain near Yukio or in the room, as long as you don't disturb the lesson. No, he doesn't know that you are alive, I figured you would want to surprise him."
   "Where is he now and when does he eat dinner usually?" I was going to cook him his favorite dinner, sashimi, with my favorite, sukiyaki.
   "He's in the normal school now, and will be until 3 pm. He usually eats a small meal between the end of normal school and the start of cram school. After that, he won't eat again until a small breakfast, usually a banana or apple, in the morning. He doesn't eat lunch."
   "Why?" I was confused as to why Yukio quit eating lunch and only ate small meals twice a day.
   "He is struggling with depression, though he attempts to hide it. At least he is eating still."
   "Will he be able to eat meat? I was planning on making him sashimi and sukiyaki."
   "Yes, as his 'dinner' always has some type of cooked meat, like a piece of chicken or sliced lunch meat on a sandwich."
   "Please tell me that he isn't cooking, or is that fact obvious since you haven't had any buildings burn down?"
   "No, the hired cooks in the boy's dorm where Yukio moved are responsible for cooking for the entire dorm. Yukio isn't allowed anywhere near the door to the kitchen."
   "You've moved him to the old dorm though, correct?" He affirmed this. Soon, Amaimon and I took our leave and went to the old dorm, using my fire travel as to avoid exorcists. I hadn't used it before because I was recovering from traveling between Assiah and Gahenna.
