"You ajjtole! I don't need this. I'm leaving."

"Rin wait! Yukio, you must've missed Rin a little bit."

"Actually, I didn't. Not in the slightest bit."

"Bye." Rin charged towards the door."Thank you for wasting my time." With that he left.

"You know what?" Shura turned towards Yukio. "You're a real ass!" She ran after Rin, leaving Yukio alone in the room.

"Rin! Rin wait!" She chased after the demon king. He ignored her and continued walking. "Rin!" He picked up his pace and sped towards his room. "Wait!" She ran up behind him and grabbed his shoulder.

"WHAT?!" He whipped around barked in her face, she jumped back a bit startled by his outburst.

"Come back, we're not finished yet."

"Well I am finished! I'm done putting up with your bullshit! I'm here trying to complete a mission and you're all distracting me for your own selfish reasons! Because you all feel bad about what you did to me! Well the past is in the past and there's nothing you can do to erase what you did! You think you can all say sorry and that I'll just forgive you because it's the "right thing to do"? That we can all just sort out our differences and all become friends again!? Well this isn't a fairytale! Life doesn't work that way!" Shura stared at him in shock. His eyes showed annoyance and hurt. "So just...leave me alone." He turned around and continued walking to his room. Shura wanted to stop him and say something to him, but she couldn't find the words.

Shura walked back to her office where Yukio sat facing away from her.

"What's the matter with you?" She said softly. "Why are you so horrible to Rin? He's your brother. Why can't you just admit that you messed up. What happened to wanting to protect him? Didn't you say you promised Shiro that you'd always look after Rin? He'd be very disappointed in what you've become Yukio." She turned to walk out of the office. Before she left, she stopped at the door way. "This isn't the Yukio I remember. Heh, I always knew you were stubborn, but this is too much. You've taken this sibling rivalry too far. I don't even know who you are anymore." With that she walked out of the room leaving Yukio alone with his thoughts.

Rin slammed the door and charged into the dorm room. Amaimon turned his head up towards the door, he was laying on the bed fooling around with the tip of his alligator like tail.
"Amaimon get up!" He barked. "We're continuing on with the mission. The sooner we get out of this stupid dimension the better."

"Well hello to you too." He slowly got up from the bed. Rin dismissed the sarcasm and packed away whatever little belongings he had gathered on this dimension. He angrily threw all of their snacks and Amaimon's candy in a bag. "Hey! What're you doing!"

"We only came here to warn Samael, and that's what we did. Now we are going back to doing what we came here to do in the first place. Find whatever information about the portals we can gather and bring it back home." He through the bag of stuff over his shoulder and headed towards the window. "Well, are you coming?" He looked back over his shoulder.

"Yeah yeah, I'm coming." He followed Rin toward the window.

They jumped out of the window, once they landed on the ground they quickly got onto the back of Behemoth. They headed towards the direction they were originally traveling before being forced to turn back.
Behemoth tracked whatever little of the scent that was still left on the book. They traveled at rapid speed through the woods dodging trees and branches. They moved much faster than before since they did not have to slow themselves down for others to catch up to them.
Eventually Behemoth gradually came to a stop when he had found the origin of the scent.
By now they were definitely miles away from True Cross, or any real civilization really.
They were deep into a forest that was thick with trees and bushes, though it was nothing compared to the forests they had in Gahenna. The hopped off the back of Behemoth and started to travel by foot. Rin sniffed the air around him, he could smell that a third person was present near by. He could practically hear their heart beating, he could tell the third person was anxious and afraid to be there. He looked over to Amaimon and could tell that he smelt it too. Amaimon motioned his head in the direction of the scent; and Rin followed him with behemoth trailing not to far behind.
The closer he got to the source of the scent the more he could hear shaky breathes and sniffling noises.
They silently followed the noise and hid behind a tree. Peeking out from behind the trunk the saw a person in a black cloak; their back was turned to them. The figure appeared to be searching for something. The person pulled some pages out from a pocket with their gloved hands and looked at them.
'Those have to be the pages from the book.' He said looking at the warn out pages in their hand.
Rin tried to move forward to get a better look but stepped on a small pile of leaves causing small rustling sound. The person let out a high pitched gasp and looked around. Rin manipulated the shadows from the trees to hide him and Amaimon completely. Rin's dark clothing made it easier for him to remain unseen in the dark. The person looked right them. Rin noted that they had bright brownish orange eyes and black cloth from their clothing under the cloak covering the lower half of their face. The person turned back around and continued walking. Without making a single noise Rin started to follow behind the person. He made himself into a shadowy figure and continued to follow slowing picking up his speed the closer he got. He would have to catch the person and bring them back to Gahenna for interrogation. The person's ears perked up and Rin could hear their heart start to beat much faster than before. They seemed to sense that they were being followed a and they started to pick up their speed. Rin sped up behind them making a small whooshing sound almost like the wind. The cloaked persons breathing quickened and they started to run away. Rin moved faster, but couldn't move as fast as he was capable of traveling or he would risk being heard or seen. He extended his arms forward just about to grab the person. They shrieked as they felt something cold touch their back they muttered a few words which sounded like words to an incantation.
Suddenly a purple blue portal opened and they jumped through. Rin quickly halted to a complete stop before accidentally following them through. It was never a good idea to walk into a random portal in which you don't know where it leads to without any plan. You never know if you'd be able to leave the dimension or how long it'll take for another portal to be created that leads out of it. It wasn't very fun to be trapped in an unknown dimension alone with no way out. Rin transformed out of his shadowy form and back into his original form. Amaimon caught up to him with Behemoth trailing behind.

"You let them get away." Amaimon said with no expression in his voice.

"It was for the best. We don't know where that portal leads to. It's alright, we have more information for the case."

"Like what?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We know they were on earth. We know what they were using the portals to search for. We have a vague visual of their appearance. Small, slender individual with orange and brown eyes."

"They didn't smell like a demon." Amaimon said.

"Just like I thought, the suspect isn't a demon. They didn't smell human either." Rin responded.

"Witch, wizard or fae?"

"Maybe one of those." They turned and started to get back onto Behemoth. "No exorcist can help us find them if we aren't looking for a demon."

"We need to tell Onii-San to call off their search. They're going to just start killing off random demons other wise thinking it's the thing they're looking for."

"How is that different from what they already do on a regular basis? Kill off random demons just because they're there. Even if we warn them that it's not a demon we're looking for, it's not gonna stop them from returning to their normal activities of killing off demons." He scoffed. They hopped back onto the back of Behemoth.

"Now what do we do?" Amaimon asked holding onto Behemoth

"Now, we report back to our brothers." Behemoth road off into the forest.
