Chapter 3
(4 Day Jump)
Rin's body felt really hot as he laid in bed. He had just woken up yesterday and Mephisto had told him what was happening to him like he had with his friends. It was a lot to take in but he didn't really mind for some reason. He knew he should be freaking out like his brother and friends must like have; but he didn't feel like anything was wrong. Mephisto told him that he would be taking care of him until his maybe mate came to fight him. So far nothing had happened and the purple haired demon had told him no demons have showed up to fight yet. Some had been seen outside the school but none had found a way in yet. The two Demon Kings have been keeping quiet; those Astaroth has been seen watching Rin's friends when they are not in Cram School.
The door to his room flew open and he saw Mephisto walking in holding his lunch for the day. Rin didn't know where the food came from or who was making it but it was good and made him feel better after eating it. Mephisto would even eat with him so that he wouldn't feel lonely when he was awake. He smiled at the older demon as he put the food down on the nightstand beside the bed.
"Good afternoon Rin. How was your nap?", Mephisto asked as he helped Rin sit up against the headboard.
"It was okay. The pain wasn't too bad this time; I'm just really hot." Rin responded as he rubbed his still sleepy eyes.
Mephisto let out a small chuckle. "Yes, that heat is going to stay with you until you have to fight. It will come back when you lose but you will like the feeling it brings with it."
Rin blushed a little at that, though it was hard to see it because of the fever.
"I brought someone to see you today, well two someones actually. The other one is a tag-a-long that wouldn't go away no matter what I did." Mephisto said as he gave Rin his lunch. "But you don't get to see them until you finish your lunch."
"Yes mother hen," Rin said as he rolled eyes and began to eat.
Mephisto smiled as he watched Rin eat. Like he had said before, he was a mated demon but he was not like Rin. He could not have young but he and his mate would have been good parents if he could. He saw Rin as his puppy, not his little brother, ever since his heat began. It was out of character for him to act this way, but Rin wasn't saying anything as he showed this other half of himself around the younger demon. Mephisto's only wish was that his mate was here to help and share this with him.
"Hey are you okay?" He heard Rin ask, his voice breaking threw Mephisto's thoughts. "You look sad all of a sudden."
"Yes, I'm alright Rin. Just thinking about someone I'm missing is all." He told him giving a little smile.
Rin just gave him a nod before going back to his food. Mephisto watched him for a little longer before joining him.
When they were done Mephisto took the plates and left the room. When he came back he poked his head in through the door frame with a smile on his face.
"Ready to see who has come to see you Rin?" The younger demon nodded slowly in reply.
Mephisto opened the door wider and a black blur streamed into the room.
"RIN!" A voice rang through the teen's head. "I missed you! I'm sorry I wasn't with you when your heat started. I was chasing a demon that was hanging out around our home that was bugging me!"
Rin chuckled has he hugged his familiar close to him. "It's okay Kuro, I understand. You were just keeping our home safe from the bad guys." Kuro began to purr at Rin's words. "I'm just glad to see you."
Rin felt something jump on to the bed and he looked over to see what it was. What he saw made his eyes widen with surprise. He held Kuro a little tighter to him as he stared at the newcomer.
"Behemoth," Rin said in a shy voice.
"Oh, you remember his name?" Mephisto's voice said from beside him. "He is Kuro's tag-a-long that I had mentioned."
Rin's eyes never left the Goblin as it moved to sit next to his legs. "Why is he here? He is Amaimon's familiar."
"Fear not, he is safe to be around you. Familiars know better than to try and steal their master's possible mates." Mephisto told him as he rested his hand on Rin's head. "He is here to help guard you and keep you safe. Some demons will send their familiars to show that are serious about wanting to be your mate. Others do it so that they can spy on you so they know when it'd a good time to sneak in and steal the demon in heat from it's guards."
"How do you know which is which in this instance?" Rin asked still not looking away from the green demon.
"You can sometimes tell by how the Familiar acts. If it's the first reason they stay close to their masters possible mate; like Behemoth is doing. If it is the other then they stay far way from the possible mate of their master." The older demon answered. "Though even then you could still be tricked. That is why when I leave I'll take him with me. Kuro will be able to stay with you though."
Rin finally looked away from the Goblin and up at the purple demon. "Really! He can stay with me?!"
"Yes, he will be your second guard and he will fight your possible mate as well." Mephisto nodded down at Rin. "He'll be with you when I am not. Now I think you should go back to sleep."
Rin yawned as he nodded his head. Kuro jumped out of Rin's arms and landed onto the pillow next to Rin's. Mephisto helped the younger demon lay down and grabbed Behemoth off the bed. Rin's eyes closed as soon as his head hit the pillow and was asleep a second after that.
Kuro looked over at the older demon once he lied down next to Rin's head. "I'll watch over him with my life. You can trust me sir."
"I know I can Kuro," Mephisto nodded to the two tail cat before he turned and left the room with the Goblin in hand. Once the door closed behind them Mephisto looked down at the demon in his arms. "You will guard Rin on this side of the door, got it."
Behemoth nodded with his whole body as he jumped out of his master's older brother's arms and stood in front of the door. Nodding back to the smaller demon, he walked over to his desk and sat down. Summoning a cup of tea for himself he let out a quite sigh as his eyes turned to his office's main doors. A minute later he heard a knock and they began to open.
"Hello there it's been a while hasn't it?" Mephisto said to the newcomer. "To what do I own the pleasure of this little get together?"
"You know why I'm here."
