This is the last chapter guys! I'm so excited! Just, please don't kill me. There may or may not be a sequel to it as well.

Everything was going down hill! Nothing was making sense. It was all a misunderstanding, couldn't they see that?

...

Rin and Amaimon went straight to training as soon as the younger demon was set down. He was still struggling to have full control over his demonic side, but he was getting so much better at keeping his head with the rush of instinct and power that side brought out. After training today, he planned on telling Amaimon his choice. He was going to fully accept his demon side.

Amaimon was rather impressed with Rin. While the other always berated himself over not getting control sooner, he was actually completing the necessary steps in traing a young demon rather quick. This bastard child of Satan is rather impressive.

All the more reason to love him more. Amaimon's cared filled feelings had quickly turned to love for the other. While the exorcists thought demons to be heartless monsters, they weren't. They fell in love just like humans did, although their love was slightly different.

Rin's initial feelings had changed as well. At first, he hated Amaimon. Why wouldn't he? The demon had tried to kill him several times. When he was first told his anemia was more than the doctors thought and was now terminal, he had been wary of Amaimon. The demon had actually been kind. Slowly but surely, he began to accept the demons feelings and even had begun to care for him as well. Hell, he fell in love with him!

With these thoughts in mind, the two began to push Rin even harder that day. Both not wanting to loose the other. Even though it had only been a few months since Amaimon was fully informed about Rin's illness, both demons had already fallen for the other and refused to give each other up.

They were so caught up in this, they didn't pay attention to the creaking of the floor above them. Or the opening of the door that led to the large underground training room followed by footsteps going down the stairs.

...

Why? Why, why, why? That's all he wanted to know. There were so many why's that he wanted to ask. To know. Why? Why, why, why?

...

There was nothing that could have prepared the group of Ex-Wires for what they saw when the reached the bottom of the staircase.

Amaimon and Rin were fighting! Rin didn't even have his sword. It appeared to have been knocked out of his hands before they go down there and had landed close to the entrance of the staircase.

They seemed to be going all out against each other. The abilities the Earth King posses we're countering the the blaze of Rin's blue flames. All were too shocked to notice that his whole body was not covered in flames like it normally was when Kurikara is unsheathed, merely the flames would jump around to parts of his body when necessary.

They had to help their friend!

...

You can't ever leave me! Never! I won't allow it! You can't leave me alone!

...

Rin and Amaimon began to really get into it. Amaimon had even started to use his own demonic powers, something that didn't happen often in their training. He also realized that it was much easier to control his flames when he wasn't focusing on controlling them. It was really hard for him to explain the process, but it was almost as if the less he forced his will onto his demonic side the more accepting every part of him was of itself.

They never even realized the Ex-Wires had entered the room. Or that they were about ready to attack.

...

I'll kill them all! Every last one of them for what they did! Why are you trying to leave me?! I will never forgive you if you do! Never. You're breaking me...

...

They were going to attack Amaimon with everything they had. They had to get him away from Rin! It looked like he was going to kill him!

Shiemi summoned Nee, instructing him to use a sharp thorny vine to capture the demon king when the attack began.

Izumo summoned her two white foxes and Shima brought out his k'rik. Konekomaru, while not being able to do much, began to try and find the demon king's fatal verse. Bon lastly, while not having a weapon of his own, picked up the discarded Koma sword.

The attack began. Shima and Bon charged, aiming to hit the Demon King of Earth. Shiemi and Izumo let their familiars attack. The Ex-Wires all aiming to kill Amaimon.

Rin, finally noticed the presence of the others. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two of his friends charge and the familiars of the others charging with them. Konekomaru standing back, still trying to figure out the fatal verse of Amaimon.

Rin jumped in front of Amaimon, knowing him to be their target. Kurikara and the k'r stabbed through him along with the thorny vines from Nee all as the foxes began to rip into his flesh. Kurikara and the vines making it all the way through his body, no doubt hitting vital organs. The foxes of Izumo tearing into him. It was all he could do not to scream.

Realizing Rin had jumped in front of Amaimon, the others dropped their weapons. The familiars disappearing now that their masters had no use for them.

Rin collapsed to the ground, blood pouring out of his wounds. It was obvious that even his demonic healing abilities wouldn't even help the situation. He was going to die...

Amaimon shrieked, falling onto his knees next to Rin. "No, you can't leave me Rin! Not yet! Why?!"

He turned to them, a feral look in his eyes. "You did this to him you filthy humans! Over something you misunderstood. I'm going to kill you for this!"

Rin weakly grasped Amaimon's hand, using most of his strength to do so.

"Please...don't kill...them. They...didn't know...we...were...playing. It's...not their...fault. Be...sides...I now...got to...save...you...like you...save...me...all the...time." There was a sad smile present on Rin's face, as his weak pulse began to slow.

Amaimon screamed in sorrow and rage. He wouldn't allow him to leave!

"I won't forgive you! You've gone and taken what's mine!" He yelled at the exorcists.

He quickly grabbed Kurikara from where the boy with the funny stripped hair had dropped it. With one hand cradling the body of the half demon he loved, he securely held the blade in his free hand.

SNAP

The blade of Kurikara shattered in the hand of the demon.

So, on AO3, one of my fans inspired me to do the meeting between Amaimon and Yukio that I believe was mentioned in chapter 9. I posted it on here as well if you'd like to read it. It's called Can I Go?

I just posted the sequel to this. It's called Chasing Foolish Dreams, hope you like it!
