"As you can see, i have brought the young miss as requested" My nerves kicked in when he announced me, my hands shooting for my short pockets to fiddle with something. They probably got the wrong message and instantly gestured to people behind me. "Restrain her!" I was roughly forced on my knees, my arms being held behind me by someones foot resting on my wrists which were pushed against my back forcing me forward, my face almost making contact with the ground. Looking at the corner of my eyes past all my hair, Mephisto's gaze was burning into the man who was currently hurting me. He too, was looking from the corner of his eye, not daring to turn away from the Vatican. I could feel the fury radiating off him, but at the moment i was too busy trying to keep my head from smashing on the floor. "Piece of shi-" I was cut off by the one and only king of time as he spoke over my cursing. "I assure you she is not any trouble, so would you mind being a little gentler with her, after all she is human" His voice lowered dangerously yet he grinned as if he was trying to convince them that he was just implying that i was a weak human girl, they did not follow his command enraging him more but kept it hidden. "Mephisto, why did you take this girl in under you! If she was able to hold up her own against you, she is highly capable of endangering us all. What if she turns on you!" What the actual hell was happening, i did nothing wrong. I anxiously awaited his answer, "She indeed is strong, that i wont deny. And she could be very dangerous" Who's side is he on! "But, i can guarantee she will never turn on or deceive me" The room went silent hearing his bold exclamation, idiot. "How can you be so sure!" One of the top dogs shouted back, her tone venomous but panicked. "Have i ever lied to you" The mocking grin was plastered on his face as he swung his arms out beside him, with a questioning look. Man he had guts. "He is telling the truth. (Y/n) (L/n), you are to tell us the exact events of the thieving incident a while back." "That was all but a mis-" "We were not asking you Mephisto, let her speak for herself" All eyes were on me as he tried speaking in my place, being rudely cut off. I looked at him for support but he stood unmoved, his arms held out, smiling and eyes blinking in confusion "Eh?"

"I was set up! I was just passing by and that man falsely accused me, he made the first move so i did what any normal person would have done and retaliated." "Then why were you carrying weapons!" "T-They were a gift from my parents before they were killed" An argument starting between me and the three leaders staring down at me, the rest remaining silent including Mephisto.

"Why not leave them back at home!" "I don't have a home there anymore!" "You could bury them with your parents or at least keep them locked away! Why do you insist on keeping them with you!?" "Because i made a promise that i would kill the man who murdered my parents, i swore i would get revenge on that angel!" I remember now, why my gut led me here, to True Cross. Who i was looking for. Maybe i said the wrong thing because the room remained silent and even the men arguing with me ceased shouting, many eyes lay upon Mephisto as he slowly turned towards me, his eyes wide. He made a big mistake turning his back to the Vatican but he didn't seem to care, "An angel?" I gulped the large lump that formed in my throat, the foot on my back pressing down harder making me hiss. "Yes, an angel. My mothers dying wish was for me to find a man here in True Cross" It was now Mephisto questioning me, the others watching. "Who is this man you speak of?" There was a long dramatic pause, his eyes carefully watching my lips as they moved "You...Samael Faust" The tension in the room was unbearable, it felt as if it was crushing my bones. My eyes glaring deep down into his, i finally pieced it all together "She cannot live! She knows of your true identity!" The man holding me down did as the Vatican ordered and unsheathed his sword, placing it to my neck. "You don't want to do that. I suggest you move away from her before i tear your arms from your pathetic body" Mephisto's voice lowered dangerously and shadows cast upon his face, the scariest i had ever seen him. Many audible gasps surrounded us, the pressure on my back becoming unbearable. "You dare oppose the order!" "You dare threaten my woman!" "Excuse me!" "My apologies, i lost my composure. Let me rephrase that, that women is my wife. And if you harm her you will feel the wrath of Me, Satan and all of Gehenna. I don't think we want an all out war right now, do we?" They had no way to win against him, he threatened them and they could do nothing but grit their teeth in anger. "Mephisto, i trust that you will keep her in check" One of the men at top spat, dismissing us.

With one last mocking bow and cocky smile, he made his way down from the platform. His feet coming into view as my head hung low, one simple motion with his finger made the man above me cower away and release the tight hold on my wrists. They were sure to bruise. The purple haired man before me took hold of my arm and pulled me up, supporting me as we walked to the doors. Once they shut after he let go, his face screwed up. "We need to hurry and get married before they find out that your still not wed" His hand shot for his face, covering his mouth trying to think of a way to think of a solution. "What, this is all happening way to quick. I have only been here for a few months" "I understand that, its not demons but humans you need to be wary about now. You sure do like making trouble" By now he had magically poofed us to his office in the academy, leaning against the edge of his desk watching me. "But more importantly. The angel. Who was he?" The severity was almost painful, but i chose to stay silent, his impatience growing. "I wont force it out of you, but i need to know for your protection" His hand resting on his face once again, a new habit? I jumped at the sudden voice from behind me, the unannounced figure walking out from the shadows. "Why do you seem so distressed, brother?" "Amaimon, i don't think you will take a liking to this conversation. Its regarding the Angels" Amaimon sneered upon hearing the word, walking over to the windowsill and sitting on the ledge, just like how we first met. Pulling out a lolly and shoving into his mouth, "Amaimon had an unpleasant encounter with angels as you can see from his reaction, he refers to them as winged sissies and would annihilate them if he had the chance" "Stupid things" Amaimon mumbled, looking off to the side and out the window. "(Y/n) here, has a problem. She wants the blood of a certain angel, one that massacred her family. Tell me dear, what was his name?" He motioned for me to sit beside him but was completely ignored as i placed myself beside Amaimon, sneaking my hand into his coat pocket and stealing any piece of candy i could get my fingers on. Mephisto did not look very pleased with my choice of seating, his eyebrows furrowed in frustration and jealousy. "Because he killed my family and had the time to tell me his name" "Well he had the decency to tell you he was an Angel did he not~" "Shut up" He smirked in victory, while Amaimon just stared at my hand in horror and disbelief as i retracted my arm and shoved his candy in my mouth. "He was blonde, tall. Alluring blue eyes" "Fair build, Large sword and white clothing with an over confident attitude?" He cut me off, my eyes wide. "Y-You know him" "Yes, i have a good idea on exactly who he is" Skillfully pushing himself off the desk and approaching his desk chair, once seated his fingers intertwining in front of his mouth. "Arthur Auguste Angel, the new paladin after Shiro Fujimoto" I felt something within me crack knowing i could not defeat him, he was the top ranking exorcist. "Do not worry dear, i have a plan. But you must not kill him, only inflict harm upon him. Amaimon, you know what to do" What is happening, i saw the younger brother nod and look towards me, one arm wrapping around my waist and his other free hand placing itself over my mouth. Jumping up and securely holding me as he hung from the beams of the high ceiling, my screams muffled by his hand. Mephisto placed a finger over his lips motioning for me so be silent, a smug grin plastering on his face. "The game starts!"

The door knob to the presidents office door twisted and opened, allowing the access of the man that was the demon kings rival. His graceful steps echoing as he stood before the large mahogany desk, sat at the other end was the sly man that was steaming up a wicked scheme. "Mephisto, you called" "Ah, how have you been Arthur!" The man known as Arthur scoffed, blowing off the kind act. "What are you up to, defending that disgraceful human girl. I know you, you would never lower your standards, especially for the humans" "You are absolutely right, but that girl, she will be your demise. I have grown quite a fondness to her, so seems Amaimon as well. But that is not why i called you here" "Oh please, she couldn't even fend for herself when being pinned to the ground by a lowly exorcist. And if that wasn't the reason you called me here, then what is" "Its regarding some top secret events between the Vatican, and us. Two years ago around this time you murdered two exorcists who were on the run, the Iverson's. Unaware to you they had a child, the one you let live to suffer alone" Disgust washed over the Angel, "That little brat, i remember her. I let her live because i knew she would die without the protection of her parents" He stood triumphantly, angering the demon. "I gave you strict orders not to harm them" "I do not answer to you but the Vatican, you are nothing but a lap dog" "Says the inferior worm" The tension was thickening every second, the green haired demon's grip tightening around the struggling girl, her anger boiling over the edge, her tears soaking his hand. Arthur frowned feeling alarmed upon seeing the wicked grin spreading across Mephisto's features, "Back to the subject at hand, that girl did indeed not die. She spent those long two years hunting you down, and now she has located you. With an excessive amount of blood lust might i add, am i correct"
