We are getting ready to leave, I'm kinda sad that were leaving already even if we did stay an extra day it still seems too soon. I know Iblis doesn't want us to leave he walks us out and gives me a long hug.
"See you soon right?" He asks before Mephisto poofs us away.
"Of course I will....." I smile, my heart cracks at just how much I hope it's possible.
Amaimon watches us, I know he's probably getting agitated but I can't help it, I really do like Iblis I just..... I don't love him but I am going to miss him again.
"Come on y/n," Mephisro sighs. "We have to get back I got a report about a high level demon loose on campus."
"Oh crap coming sorry!" I leave Iblis standing alone as we poof away.
The school is in complete chaos once we arrive, exorcists are running around with weapons and shouting, yukio is yelling orders at the students.
Mephisto left us trusting we wouldn't get in the way. Which was easy enough until we saw the "ferocious" demon, it was behemoth..... behemoth was currently huge and not alone, many other smaller demons are running around. Amaimon spotted him right after I did, I've never saw him look so ticked off. Mephisto didn't notice this since he was talking to the teachers and Yukio, and I didn't have a chance to stop Amaimon. He rushed over and begins fighting with the exorcists, and of course Rin has to be in the middle of it. I see the paladin show up too,he's yelling at Mephisto. I stand frozen I don't know what to do I want to help Amaimon but I can't get in more trouble and I want to stop behemoth but the exorcists will think I'm on their side. I hear Amaimon yelling he transforms into his demons form, he is fighting exorcists left and right sending them flying. Exorcists start shooting and aiming their attacks at him rather than the other demons, I run to Mephisto. He looks at me concerned and asks what's wrong until he sees Amaimon then he becomes furious. He tells me to wait here, Yukio is staring at me now with distrust. Behemoth gets shot and along with Angels help gets exorcised or killed I'm not sure which. I hold back tears not from sadness or fear but the pure feeling of hopelessness. Amaimon is acting even more erratic and dangerous now, even Mephi isn't able to stop him. He comes back over to us with a grim look.
"We can't kill him, but we have to try to get him back to Gehenna before he destroys the entire city," Mephisto sighs looking more annoyed than anything else.
"No!" The word escapes my lips before I can stop it, I'm not losing Amaimon not now. "Let me try to do something."
"Absolutely not y/n you haven't even finished exorcist training." Mephisto and Yukio speak in near unison.
"You're acting like he's a monster! He is you're brother Mephisto!" I yell at them, I can't believe they want to treat him that way. He's a person to in his own special way.
"I don't care if he is my brother, y/n he's destroying my school and hurting the exorcists... My students as well." Mephisto growls.
"He will kill you if you go near him," Yukio glares at me, there's a sense of almost hatred in his eyes, I don't know if it's towards me or Amaimon maybe it's both.
"How do you know! Have you been living with him?! Do you talk to him everyday and know who he is!? He's not just a demon king you know he has a personality!" I'm shaking with rage, they don't understand! I start to run towards him but Mephisto grabs my arm before I can even make it ten steps away.
"I will not allow you to go out there," he mutters.
"So you're just going to let them kill him, cause if you say yes I'll make sure you have to kill me to," I rip my arm from his grip and run towards Amaimon. A group of exorcists is in my way they're shooting at him I try to weave through them but to no avail. I shove my way through them instead pushing some of them into each other, they curse at me but I barely hear them, my only focus is Amaimon. Rin is trying to stab him in the chest it looks like he's getting to close for my comfort. I start yelling at him to stop, he looks back at me and in that split second he is thrown across the school yard. I know he'll be back so I have to hurry and do something. I have no idea what I can even do so I start yelling Amaimon's name. He doesn't notice me so I start inching closer to him, giant chunks of rock come from the ground and fly at the exorcists. I cringe watching it hit some of them, the ground under me starts to shake. I let out a scream as the very ground I'm standing on falls away. I am stuck on top of a huge rock chunk, I'm trying to keep my grip which isn't easy with the speed it's moving. I have to act quick or I'm going to be thrown at the exorcists to.
"Amaimon! Please look at me!" I half yell half shriek, I'm starting to fall. I'm clinging onto hope even though I still haven't got his attention, I'm going to try just talking to him maybe that will work. "Amaimon, we have to go to this one water park I heard about, its supposed to be a lot of fun, we can't go unless you stop though or they're going to take you away...." Whatever pride I had left slips away as I let an onrush of tears stream down my face. My tears are cold and taste salty when the fall on my lips, I'm scared I don't want Amaimon to be sent away I know what that feels like. It's similar to never having a family at all, you feel betrayed and alone like no one even wants you alive. I don't want Behemoth to be gone either, he's become my dumb cute little pet. All of these thoughts are flying through my mind and to even try to make a difference there is one thing I have to do I can not let myself fall off this stupid rock. I will myself to hold on, but my fingers start to slide down the rock against my brains protests. It's starting to move higher, I scream in terror now, everyone looks like insects at this height and for the first time I feel like they might be right, maybe Amaimon is going to kill me....
I see Rin he's running right at Amaimon, he's bleeding and hurt badly from what it looks like. He's yelling but I just block out his words I don't care what he's saying. Possibly because I know he wants to kill Amaimon, or maybe it's because I'm ready to give up and want nothing to matter. I lose my grip on the rock as it flys forward. I refuse to look down as the weightless air surrounds me. I shut my eyes so tight it hurts, I don't want to think about how hard the ground is going to be once my free fall comes to and end.
What I can not understand though is when I realize the ground should have caught up to me and yet I feel no pain. I feel warmth.
I open my eyes slowly thinking maybe I'm already dead. Except I'm not dead, Ive been caught by what I have no idea. I turn my head and gasp Amaimon has ahold of me, I can't believe it he saw me! The exorcists don't know what to do now, they don't want to shoot me even though Angel gave them permission to if necessary, I only know this because I heard him shouting orders. Rin stops dead mid charge, he doesn't want to hurt me either thank the skies. I let out a sigh, right now everyone is at a standstill it's silent. I wrap my arms around Amaimon's neck as best as I can, "you have to stop Amaimon please!" I know I'm bawling by this point but I do not even care, if I can just keep him safe.
"They killed my Behemoth!" He growls, "I want to kill them!"
"Amaimon I know you do but if you do they're going to kill you to!" I don't look at his face I can't. If I do I'll be hit with the same anger he has, "I don't want them to take you away from me too..."
Angel appears beside us after a good while of pure silence with the exception of me and Amaimon.
"I'd rather prefer to kill you both, however I have orders and sadly they simply want me to arrest you both," he sighs. "Yet if you hesitate I will without a moment to waste end your pitiful lives."
Mephisto is scowling at the arrogant paladin but keeps quiet, I can't believe this.
"Amaimon?" I look at him, he's glaring at everyone hatred replacing whatever emotion was in his eyes a moment before, I'd like to think it was love but I know that's almost impossible. I'm scared now but not of him of what everyone else. What will they do if we say no....more importantly if he does....what if we run.....
Amaimon suddenly slams his fists on the ground causing it to shake rapidly. Most people standing in the area up falling in a to the ground with yelps of pain. I look at Amaimon when I feel myself falling from his grasp. Angel attempts to run up to him, most likely to try and wound him or worse, but he isn't fast enough anyway. Amaimon has taken off and he has got a good distance between himself and the exorcists now. He's really running away from them.....from me.... I watch him dumbfounded but even more than that I'm hurt beyond words. I never thought he would toss me aside, is he really nothing more than a demon....? Was I wrong...... I stand up to brush off dirt, my body aches and I have intense pain coming from my chest and arm. I slowly begin to inch my way towards the crowd of exorcists but I don't make it very far before I feel a sharp pain in my side below my ribs. It's so intense I fall to the ground, I touch the wound at least that's what I think it is. My hand comes up to my face covered in blood, my vision goes blurry, I slump to the ground smacking my head before it all goes black and empty.
