Mephisto glanced behind him when he felt a pair of eyes burning into him. Students, with a free hour, were chatting in the halls. He didn't see who was watching him but he had an idea who it was. He paused before the door to a class room. The woman he sought was currently teaching about higher class demons.

He knew it wasn't Amaimon or Yukio that was watching him. They both were in the empty dorm, gathering Rin's and Yukio's personal things. They were no longer safe living on their own. Mephisto had invited them to live with him where he could keep an eye on them and protect them. They were his brothers after all. Never mind that they were actually half human. That was probably why he favored the two.

He grasped the nob before pulling the door open. The teacher's voice reached his ears as she tapped her pointer at the chalk board, talking about a few demons that were rare to find and how to exterminate them. She paused in her lesson as she turned her indigo blue eyes towards him. Even though they were dark, they seemed to glow. He could see through her power that made her appear to be human. "Sharia. Could I please speak with you?" She pushed her glasses up her nose. Suspicion dancing in her dark blue eyes.

She quickly addressed her students, telling them to read about the demons she just taught about in the books that were on their desk. Books she had written herself and could be found nowhere else. No one other than Mephisto knew about that. She pushed herself off her desk. Her thigh high leather boots hit the ground, her heels clicking as she walked past the demon king.

Mephisto closed the door behind her as he snapped his fingers, freezing the time. She turned her attention towards him before giving a deep bow. "Milord." Her dark purple hair slipped over her shoulders. He gestured for her to stand straight. She folded her arms across her chest. "How many times have I talked to you about interrupting my class?" He knew it displeased her when he interrupted.

She tapped her foot as Mephisto gave her a playful pout. He liked this demoness very much. She was fun to tease. "Only when it is necessary." He responded as her pink lips curled, exposing her fangs. She gave a nod of approval. She was the only demon, he rules over, who was allowed to treat him like an equal. She refused to most of the time.

She blew a lock of dark purple hair from her face. She flipped her pony tail onto her back, exposing the jean jacket she wore over her black tank top. She wore short shorts that were the same color as her hair. Amethyst earrings dangled from her pointed ears, two looped earrings were on her left ear. She also wore black gloves. They reached her elbows and looped around her middle finger.

"Milord, what is it you wish to tell me?" She asked in a soft voice before her gaze darted around, her hands hovering above the scimitars resting on her hips. Her black claws scraping the handles of her swords.

"We don't have time to linger." Mephisto hissed as his gaze landed on Karaena. She was scowling and staring at the purple haired demoness. Sharia's gaze landed on the ginger. A soft hiss escaped her before Mephisto grabbed her arm and dragged her through the door he had opened to his room. "She is hunting."

"I can tell that Karaena is hunting. She is my sister."

"Sharia." A familiar voice called to the demoness. She turned her attention towards the voice. Rin was staring at her. "What are you doing here?" She glanced at Mephisto as if to ask him permission to expose herself. He gave a dismissive wave, his thoughts occupied elsewhere. He found it disturbing that Karaena seemed to know what his destinations were.

Sharia gave a low bow. "Master Rin. I am Sharia Pandora. I believe I will be your guardian until my sister has been taken care of." Rin opened closed his mouth like fish. He didn't know how to respond to her actions or her words. Mephisto would normally find this amusing but two beings were missing. They should have returned by now. He turned his attention towards the door, pulling out the infinity key. Sharia sensed his intentions and stood behind him.

He opened the door to the dorm Yukio and Rin shared. Mephisto gave a startled hiss when Sharia pushed him out of the way, shadow swords in her hands. Her scimitars resting by her hips. She held the swords in the shape of an 'x'. Mephisto would've scolded her if he knew she did this just to be an annoyance.

Mephsito pushed his hat up to see shadows withering at the entrance of the door. "Um, what's that?" Rin asked while a hiss escaped Sharia.

"If you had been paying attention in class, You would know what type of demon we are dealing with!" She hissed, her own shadows stirring around her. Mephisto wanted to slip into the room and grab his younger brothers. But he knew It wasn't safe till he or Sharia dealt with the shadows.

Mephisto hissed under his breath, standing behind the demoness and forming a sword of his own. He pushed Sharia out of the way and quickly slashed the black sword through the shadows. A pained hiss escaped the squirming darkness as they formed into the demoness hunting him. She held her arm, glaring at him with her candy apple red eyes. Blood streamed its way down her left arm and dripped at her finger tips. Amaimon turned sluggishly towards the door. He was holding an unconscious Yukio. Mephisto sighed. At least Yukio had a body guard on the mean time.

Mephisto grit his teeth. He didn't understand why the ginger was going after her king. If anything, he thought she would avoid her king. He would be able to kill her. Mephisto also didn't understand how she got an infinity key. He glowered at the girl, she probably stole it from Yukio when they were in the library.

She appeared at Yukio's side. Amaimon glared at the girl but she ignored him. Knowing that her king had been slowed by her powers. Mephisto hissed. She was desperate. The shadows around her stirred, drawing closer to the unconscious boy. She held her hands in the shape of a box. Her fiery gaze burning into Mephisto, daring him to stop her. He inhaled sharply. He knew what she was trying to do. A startled yelp escaped the demoness when Sharia tackled her.

A hiss escaped Karaena and Sharia. Sharia was trying to pin her sister down. IT was a pity that Sharia couldn't kill her own sister. She could do bodily harm but not much more. They wouldn't be able to kill each other at all. Nor would they be able to eat each other's souls. The fight would be a draw.

A snarl escaped Sharia when she was kicked off. She landed on her feet before charging her sister once more. Rin darted to his brothers' side. "Yukio?" He whispered only to relax when the younger twin exhaled. Mephisto grasped Amaimon, releasing him from the spell the Pandora demoness placed him under.

"No!" Karaena snarled, pushing her sister off as Mephisto held his hand out when the ginger demoness charged. He lengthened the space between him and the younger demoness while shortening the space between him and the purple haired demoness. In no time, she slipped through the door. Mephisto followed her, manipulating the space around him to close the door.

"No!" An angered shriek escaped the ginger demoness as she pounded on the door but the room to Mephisto was no longer behind it. She hissed. She couldn't access his home without his permission and he had denied her long ago. The shadows around her whithered, sensing her ire and irritation. She should've known that Mephisto would've gotten her sister to protect him.

She paused. No. The Time king didn't need Sharia's protection. She was here to protect someone else. She smirked. The only reason she went after the twins was because they had smelled of demons. She had been hungry. Still is. But now she knew that Mephisto was willing to protect them.

Soft snickers escaped her. She just needed to enroll as a student. She would need to get closer to the two boys with the demon scent. They smelled like her father. Not that Satan would care. He dumped her on this planet with the other demons after all.

Soft snickers escaped her as she released the time in the room. The shadows retreating to their home as the teacher with fire hair snapped awake, her gaze darting about the room. She knew that headmaster was currently with his students. Making sure that she hadn't done any damage to them.

She licked her lips. She certainly liked how the halflings tasted. They weren't too bland nor were they too sour. They were the perfect mix. She pulled the door open, her form melting to appear as a student. The oldest boy would be her easier target. He had no way to defend himself.

She faltered when a memory came before her. She had made the same error when she went after him earlier. Her rubied lips tilted into a frown. She ignored the lust, admired and jealous stares she got from the students around her. Amaimon had been hiding in the young half demon's pocket and sprang out when she had trapped the young exorcist. He had dragged her from the boy. Perhaps the one with awakened powers would be less trouble.

She hissed, her clawed fingers racking through her hair. Her sister was here. Neither would be an easy target. She grit her teeth, glaring at a human boy that dared to approach her. She would have to come up with a plan.


So sorry for the delay. This chapter feels out of whack for me. -_-
