~Baby Rin~

(3rd person p.o.v)

One year had already passed by, and Satan had yet to reunite with his youngest son.
However, that did not mean that Satan wasn't trying. Every couple days Satan sent one of his subjects to Assiah to retrieve Yukio. And the days that he did not send someone to Assiah, he was coming up with new strategies to get him back. Every single time they tried, they failed. Satan always sent the best demons for the job. But the exorcists were just so relentless.

That exorcist would not let Satan anywhere near his son. Every single time they went down there, he fought back.
With chants, and holy verses and blessed weapons. Many demons returned back to Gehenna injured, some more severely than others.

Satan would go down there himself, but it was difficult to find a suitable vessel. Most vessels he possessed burst into flames and would die within 15 minutes or less depending on how well they could handle his power. It was really a bother.

Satan could see the exorcist in Assiah. He could see all. He could see the exorcist hogging his son for himself, keeping him held captive. The mortal had not turned the child into the Vatican, instead he was raising the boy himself in secret. Satan could not stand seeing someone else raise his and Yuri's child.

The child would know nothing of his heritage. He'd know nothing of his father, and mother, and the rest of his family. He'd know nothing of his purpose. How he was supposed to be a symbol, that represented the connection between both realms.
This is not what he had wanted. This is not what Yuri would have wanted. The exorcist was raising the boy like a human. How are you supposed to raise him like a human if he isn't one? His other half would be neglected.

What was the hardest slap in the face was that he was being raised by exorcists. Those who hunted his kind. Those who were responsible for his mother's death. In a monastery no less. And all he could do was sit there and watch because he was trapped in Gehenna unless he had a suitable vessel.

He had sent 3 of his guards out today to try and retrieve his son. All he could do was hope that they succeeded this time. Satan was currently sitting on his throne, keeping watch over his kingdom and awaiting his guards return.

His thoughts were interrupted by a shrill cry which almost startled him. Satan groaned and headed toward the sound of the noise.

Satan opened the large wooded doors and entered a room. He groaned and face palmed at the sight.

Astaroth and Beelzebub were wrestling on the ground. Beelzebub straddling Astaroth with a fist full of his ash blonde hair.

Iblis and Egyn were in the middle of a fist fight.

Amaimon was sitting cross-legged on the table eating sweets off of the good china plates from the castle's kitchen.

Azazel was in the corner of the wall crying and hugging his knees, while rocking back and forth.

And Lucifer was holding a crying baby Rin with an angry look on his face.

"ENOUGH, ALL OF YOU!" All of the demon kings froze and looked at Satan. The room became quiet, the only sounds were Rin's cries.

"What is going on here!?"

"He started it!" Astaroth pointed at Beelzebub.

Beelzebub's eyes widened, with an exasperated expression.

"What?! Lies! He started it!" He said gesturing to Astaroth.

Astaroth let out a yell and started clawing at Beelzebub's face.

"I said ENOUGH!" Satan said. He walked over to Beelzebub and pulled him off of Astaroth.

"Neither Astaroth or Beelzebub are to blame." Said Egyn calmly. "It was Iblis."

"Fuck you!" Iblis yelled at Egyn.

"Well I watched the whole thing go down father." Amaimon popped a chocolate into his mouth. "And it was Lucifer."

"Don't blame me for their horrible behavior you brat!" Lucifer spat.

"Yeah." Said Beelzebub. "You were supposed to be in charge. This is technically all on him." He said looking directly at Satan.

"I. Don't. Care. Who. Started. It." Satan seethed. "I just want to know what in Gehenna happened."

"I asked Lucifer if I could have a turn to hold Rin. And she said 'no' because I'd 'drop him'." Iblis crossed his arms. 

"Because you would." Lucifer replied.

"Lies! You just want Rin all for yourself!" Iblis exclaimed.

"Yes you would drop him." Egyn said matter of factly. "Then I said I should be the one to hold Rin next because I'm more responsible. And I'm older."

"Age doesn't mean shit! I'm grown. I'm responsible enough!"

"That's what I said!" Astaroth yelled.

"Oh shut up, you're more irresponsible than Iblis. And the youngest next to Rin." Said Beelzebub.

"All of you shut up! You are all grown! And you are kings! You shouldn't be fighting like children. Especially over something as ridiculous as this!"

"With all due respect, father, this certainly is not ridiculous. Deciding which one of us should look after Rin in your absence is quite an important matter."

"Well now none of you get to look after Rin! You're all too irresponsible." Satan took Rin, who was still crying, out of Lucifer's arms.

He walked over to Azazel who was still in the corner whimpering. "You." He pointed at Azazel. "Until further notice, you will be taking care of Rin when I am too busy."

"Th-thank you father." He said choking on a sob.

Satan cringed. "Yeesh. And clean yourself up boy. A grown man should not be crying like this."

"Ok." He said wiping his tears with his sleeves.

All except Amaimon looked at him shocked.
They all yelled "what!" and "that's not fair!"

"Yes, it is fair. Until you prove you are responsible enough to look after Rin, you will not be unsupervised around him."

"But father-"

"But nothing." He cut Astaroth off. "I'd like to keep Rin alive."

Satan then left the room with Rin.

-

Satan headed back his throne, taking seat. He gently rested Rin his lap, making sure to keep him upright and supported.

"Out of all my son's, I think you are the most well behaved. And you're an infant, It's really quite sad." He spoke to Rin, not expecting a response of course. "Sometimes I wonder where I went wrong with them. Iblis and Egyn are always fighting. Astaroth still acts like a bratty child. Azazel is way too emotional for a demon king. Amaimon keeps on stealing all the desserts from the kitchen. He thinks I don't know, but I do. Not to mention he keeps on feeding you candy despite my wishes."

Rin looked up at Satan with his big blue eyes.

"It would be much easier if your mother were here. She'd know how to manage them." A faint smile formed on his face. "You look a lot like her you know. Even more as the days go by. You have her nose, and eye shape. Except Yuri's soul is mixed in with all the other dead people in the sea of souls. It'd be nearly impossible to fish her out. Nearly. Don't worry, I'm working on it. And we still haven't gotten your brother back, but we're working on that too. At least we know where he is. He's in that stupid exorcist's tiny home. Even worse, his tiny home is a monastery. That poor kid."

Satan looked back down at Rin. Who was sucking on Satan's long white hair.

"No!" He removed his hair from Rin. "Hair is not for eating!"

He looked at the ends of his hair, disgusted, as it was wet with saliva.

"You damn kids, always putting everything in your mouth."

"Your malevolency!" The 3 guards he had previously sent out returned. One looked banged up, the other looked disheveled, and the third was being propped up by the other two. "I'm terribly sorry! But we were not able to retrieve your son."

"We were close, but he had holy water grenades. And guns that shot bullets made of holy silver!"

"And he knew our holy verses!" Said the other. "The exorcists, they're learning too much about our weaknesses."

Satan's face was emotionless, but he griped the arms of his throne harder, his long nails digging into the fabric.

"Alright. We assess what happened, and come up with a new strategy tomorrow. Until then, get some rest and patch yourselves up. We'll need you at your top strength if we don't want to fail again." He tried his best to remain calm.

The guards bowed and headed back to their quarters.

Rin looked up at Satan again, babbling softly. Satan placed a hand on Rin's head.

"We're working on it."

Please read the following:

Just some things you should know about the fanfic before reading on.

1. All the demon kings in this story will be boys. There's some confusion for me on which demon king is the girl. In the fan wiki it says Egyn is the only girl. Yet in a flash back in the manga, Iblis had a female vessel. So it's easier for me to make them all have male vessels in my stories. Then there's no confusion. Plus, they're already called 'demon kings'.

Tho in the manga Iblis was a girl with 3 eyes, I think I'll give him 3 eyes in this story. Or maybe I won't. I dunno.
Tom Lucitor has 3 eyes and he can make it work. Maybe Iblis can too.

2. As stated before in my message board, ships have yet to be determined. I'm not sure which pairings to include, so you can say which ships you want in the comments and I'll pick and choose.

Follow me if you want, sometimes I post messages regarding my fanfics and future upcoming fanfics

3. I've decided to give Rin white hair in this story. In the manga Rin was born with white hair. It only turned blue-ish-black when his powers were sealed. In this story, Rin's powers were not sealed because Satan took him before the Shiro could seal them in the sword.

4. All the demons kings right now are young adults. They have been alive for a long time, but have the minds of 19-29 year olds. In my stories (if you haven't read them) demons age slow and stop ageing  completely between the ages of 18 - mid 30's. When they stop ageing depends on the individual. It helps to explain why demons don't age, yet some appear so much younger than others.
