Crazy They Are

Rin's P.O.V.

"Let me go you bastard!" I yelled at Iblis as she continued to drag me farther from Mizuki. It was in vain as she continued to ignore my protest as she argued with Egyn who still had Yukio held hostage.

Amaimon bounced up to us, where Iblis and Egyn were leading the pack of us misfits, and got too close to my face. Has this dude ever heard of personal space? "Why do you continue to shout dear brother? You should know by now it's in vain to get their attention when they're in the middle of arguing like this."

I went to protest again but Lucifer cut me off. "He's right Rin, even if this is the first time you have been in their presence when they were arguing, take it from us when we say they won't shut up." Sighing, I look towards Yukio, hoping he would be of assistance, but all I got was a defeated look back. Great, we're stuck.

I decided to accept my fate and hope that Mizuki was alright, if not that stupid clown will have hell to pay. Our walk continued for another twenty minutes before we reached the entrance to Mepphyland. It all went quiet once everyone stop right outside the entrance. I looked around to see why they stopped only to see seven of the eight kings had looks leaning from disgust to scandalized. I'm pretty sure Amoniam stopped simply because everyone else did as he was too busy studying a lollypop.

Still, in a daze, Lucifer spoke in heavy disgust. "I knew his ego was larger than Gehenna itself, but I did not expect it to be larger than Gehenna and Aisiah combined."

Iblis tsked in annoyance, "And they say that women are vainer than men".

Egyn cast her aside glance that I would say was a sneer. "He may be one of the vainest men I know but at least he's better than you".

That caused a spark to appear at her head as she prepared to fight him. "Why you-!"

"Ah, my siblings!" An overly cheerful voice interrupted her. All our heads snapped in that direction to see the clown and Mizuki. One giving us a large smirk while the other was staring at the park with wide eyes and an open mouth. "Glad to see you all decided to wait for us so it is easier to find you. You all are too kind, really."

I could practically feel all of us rolling our eyes at him but didn't focus on it too much. I tried once again to get free. I was successful, but only because Iblis had finally loosened her grip once the clown spoke.

"Ha! Finally free!" I shout raising my arms in victory. Iblis looked ready to lunge for me but I was quicker and managed to run behind Mizuki before she grabbed me. Being the mature half-demon I am, I stuck my tongue out at her from behind Mizuki. "I'm no longer your prisoner!" Her eye twitched as some of the others scoffed at my antics. Yukio even did his usual thing where he shook his head and muttered idiot. But hey, it's not like he can talk, he was still being held by Egyn.

Ignoring everyone, I turned Mizuki to face me and looked her over. It didn't look like she was hurt and I couldn't feel any stress from her. "Are you okay? Did anything happen? No one messed with you right? And what did you guys do or talk about that caused them to drag Yukio and I out of the room like that?"

Her eyes were still wide, but I'm pretty sure it was from the rapidly fired questions I was throwing at her. When the last question slipped out, she put on a calm look and lifted her hand to my bicep. "Yes, I am okay, no one messed with me and nothing happened. We had a discussion... that I think should be kept quiet for now. But when the time is right I'll tell both you and Yukio." I was relieved that nothing had happened to her but deflated at her saying she'll tell me about their discussion later. That's not fair, it's about us but we can't know. That's worse than someone talking about you behind your back. At least then you don't have to worry about what is being said because you can be oblivious.

A voice cut in, ending the silence that fell around us. "This is cute and all," Our heads snapped towards the rest, seeing them either watching us or finding something to mess with. Beelzebub's eyes flickered back down to the insect crawling on his hand before they snapped back to us. "But how about we continue what we intended to do in the first place. We are losing daylight you know." What we intended to do? It was only supposed to be Yukio and I showing Mizuki the park. All of them were just tagalongs!

"That a great idea. Time waits for no one." It's ironic how the one saying that is supposed to be the King of Time. "Besides, I bet miss Mizuki will just love all my park has to offer. It's truly one of its kind." Just looking at the entrance anyone can agree with that.

Azazel held up his hand as if commanding us to freeze. "Speaking of Time," His eyes narrowed at Mephisto who had that annoying smile on his face as if he were already amused about what Azazel will have to say. "You didn't mess with it a few minutes ago to get Miss Mizuki and you here faster did you?"

"Yeah." Iblis huffed, placing a hand on her hip. "You guys got here around the same time we did. And we left awhile before you. It took like thirty minutes to walk to this place. So how did ya end up meeting at almost the same time as us?"

Mephisto's smile widened. "Why that easy to answer my dear sister. I simply used a key to open a doorway to a location near the park."

Astaroth's eye twitched at his explanation. "Are you saying we could have saved a bunch of time if we had simply taken one of your keys or at least had you opened the door for us?" He ran up to Mephisto quickly and grabbed hold of his suit collar. "Do you know how annoying it was to have to listen to Rin's constant whining and thing one and thing two's arguing?! FOR THIRTY DAMN MINUTES?!"

Mephisto gave a lazy reply as he patted Astaroth's shoulder. "Yes~, or you could have simply asked Yukio to open the door for you as well. I'm sure his keys could have at least gotten you guys somewhere close."

Every demon's head beside Mephisto and I snapped towards a flustered-looking Yukio. He was still being held onto by Egyn as he raised his hands in the surrendered type motion and tried to explain why he didn't suggest cutting the walking time. "H-hey, i-it's not my fault. Egyn and Iblis were already dragging Rin and I out of the room and do the road before I could say anything. P-plus, after that whole prophecy thing, I wasn't completely focused on what was going on."

Egyn and Iblis tsked and crossed their arms simultaneously about being called out as a reason why he couldn't open a door for faster travel. Astaroth's head snapped towards the two. "So this is all your's and your stupid arguing's fault."

Mephisto caught Astaroth's hand as he released him to make a charge at the two still pouting demons. "Now hold on Astaroth. There is another thing you might want to consider before you start a brawl." He faced Amaimon who had Behemoth in his hands. Where he came from that quickly, I don't want to know. "Amaimon, do you still have the Key of Eternity with you?" Amaimon gave a small shrug, dug in his pocket, and produced the key in question. "Why didn't you just open a doorway instead. That key can take you anywhere."

Amaimon stuffed the key back in his pocket and shrugged dropping Behemoth to the ground. "Didn't feel like it."

I covered Mizuki's eyes for the next portion. Astaroth was angry and out for blood it seems. I could feel Mizuki flinch at the sounds being produced, but at least she didn't have to see it. It's a great thing that we heal quickly or I'm not sure if Amaimon would survive. I glanced at Yukio to see him cringing at the sight as well, but I couldn't say anything, I was too. The way Astaroth used rot was too cruel and reminded me of something out of a horror movie.

Amaimon didn't just lay there though. He had that maniacal smile he usually has when he thinks he's playing a fun game. When he had an opening he would throw chunks of earth at a neck-breaking speed that punctured holes into Astaroth. He even lifted boulders before bring them crashing back down making an Astaroth pancake.

It was an interesting fight no doubt, but I highly doubt they were taking it seriously or going all out. If they were they'd probably not stay in just this small area and then the exorcist would be sure enough on their way to take care of all of us. Head Master here or not. Speaking of Head Master...

"WOULD YOU TWO FOOLS CUT IT OUT!! YOU'RE RUINING MY PARK ENTRANCE! IT'S BAD ENOUGH I HAD TO FIX IT AFTER AMAIMON WANT TO PLAY WITH RIN! BUT THIS IS CROSSING THE LINE!!" Mephisto's shout caused the two of them to freeze mid-attack before they went back to acting like respectful civilians... with a lot of injuries. Mephisto was grumbling under his breath with an eyebrow twitching at the sight of the damage. I thought he was going to start a fight himself but luckily he took a deep breath and tried to move us along. "Now that the two idiots have stopped. Shall we continue?" You could hear the anger that laced his words as he tried to look calm. With a swish of his cape, he made his way around the ruble and into the park. The rest of the kings looked at each other before making their way in as well. Yukio, Mizuki, and I were just staring at their walking forms before we sighed and started to follow.

'They were right. Make sure she knows your family's crazy now rather than later.'
