Shiro pov

"I will ask once again and only once. Where is Rin?!" Arthur yells. I am currently being questioned. They have me tied in a chair and I think it has been a few hours since the integration began.

"As I have told you a million times, the last time I saw him was when you took him!"

"You do realize you will be denounced from order for this?" 

"Go tell someone who cares," I reply. 

 "If you didn't do this then who did?" Arthur growls. 

"Maybe someone who cared," I reply with a grin. It's not much but anything I can do to get this bastard to shove it will be worth it.

"Who," Arthur says slamming his hands onto the table. I stare blankly at him. If the drug testing did anything to me it made me able to put up with a lot of bullshit.

He grows angrier by the second. Then I hear tsk. It repeats. "My, my, my angel. I never knew you were into this sort of thing," Mephisto purrs teasingly, Arthur's frown grows even uglier on that grossly pretty face. 

"What do you want?"

"I have some information you will find very useful," Mephisto replies.

"Speak demon," Arthur commands. 

"Oh, angel. We both know that is not how this works," Mephisto replies. Arthur snarls. He looks more demonic than Mephisto. 

"State your demands," Arthur hisses.

"Let the paladin go, and I won't arrest you for your treachery," Mephisto replies.  Arthur sighs as he cuts my bonds. He grabs me and throws me outside the room he slams the door behind him. I get up and go into the bathroom. I splash my face with water to help calm my urge to go back in there and beat that brat's ass. 

I leave and decide to lean up against the wall outside the questioning room. Shura walks down the hallway with Yukio. 

"Shiro!" She calls out with the most concerns have ever heard in her voice. She punches me and then stands next to me. "What the hell happened?" She sighs. 

"They took me to question after my mission," I reply, much to her dismay. 

"So were you a part of the attack?" she asks.

 "no, I don't even know where he was being kept."

Part of me wishes I knew where it was, so I could destroy the rest of the families with whoever freed Rin.

Yukio runs up and hugs my leg, I pick him up. 

Poor boy. He has been through a lot... at least his brother is safe now.

"Well, rumors are going around like wildfire. Some people say that you were involved others say you weren't involved. But no one wants you to be removed from Paladin. They find it touching that you would want to help your son. The higher-ups are of course freaking out. it's a mess," Shura sighs. 

Lewin walks down the hall he smiles. "Shiro, you bastard you have done it now. So where is the kid?" he asks with a smile on his face. 

"I don't have Rin."

"What?" Lewin asks. 

"I wasn't part of the attack and I didn't know about the attack. Nor do I know where Rin was being held or where he is now."  

Lewin frowns. "Holy shit you are serious."

I nod. 

"That's bullshit! That is not the Shiro I know!" Lewin yells. I look at him confused. 

"Who do you take me for? Some traitor?"

"Bullshit! It wouldn't have been bad if it was for your son! And now you are being blamed for it and you don't even have the kid." Lewin adds. "Man, you probably feel like shit."

I glare at him. 

Arthur walks out disappointed. Mephisto walks out next to him viciously. "Shiro Fujimoto all charges of treason are nearby dropped. There is no probable cause to continue integrating you for the attack on the research facility. You are free to go home," Arthur says disappointed.

"You put Rin in a research facility?" 

I figured they did as much, but his confirmation doesn't make me any happier. 

Mephisto looks at me and then smirks. Lewin does the same and Shura gets Yukio from me. 

I punch Arthur square in the face busting his perfect little nose and knocking him to the ground. 

"You put him in a research facility," I restate, stepping on his chest. 

"Shiro stop before you are taken in for different charges!" Shura pleads, covering Yukio's eyes.

 "No, you can continue Shiro I will bail you out if they do take you in for this," Mephisto replies

The desire to step on his throat and crush it is all too apparent, but the whispers of satan's presence ward me off him.

I couldn't get away with killing Arthur now, no matter how much I may want to. 

Satan would take over, and not even Mephisto could be able to cover up the death. 

I finally calm down and Arthur runs away. Mephisto and Lewin seem far too happy about that, while Shure seems responsibly disappointed in me.  

"I should have shot the bastard," I mutter, rubbing my wrists. 

"That's a bad word!" Yukio shrieks. Lewin laughs. 

"I wouldn't be laughing if I were you, potty mouth," Yukio replies. Lewin glares at Yukio as he stops laughing. 

"So how did you convince Arthur to drop the charges? And what do I owe you?" I ask. 

"You owe me nothing. Although you should stick to my story, that we think someone overheard you screaming at me and then took action into their own hands. Nothing can be traced to prove your involvement, so please keep it that way.  While proving Angel wrong was fun I have other duties to tend to," Mephisto replies.

"So what is going to happen now?" 

"Well, Angel is going to get in trouble for this, and you will get off scot-free. And it as Shura said you are far too valuable to be removed from your positions as Paladin."

"Thank you," I reply as he leaves. 

"Anytime. And don't get into more trouble without me," Mephisto says as he leaves.
