"TOKYO, HERE WE COME!" Shouted Suho as he took his headset off and stared at the scenery outside the plane.

     The Seven Arcs and the Seven Demons were headed off to Tokyo to meet Kharon the Second, But for the past weeks, they've been training their butts off so this is more like a vacation for them.

      Park Dongmin trained them on the power of invisibility while they were getting ready for this trip. The Arcs did fine, so did Hyunseung and Jackson since you know, they have special relationships with angels. While the other demons just wanted to jump off a cliff because of how hard it was.

     Thankfully, after a week of training, everyone had mastered it. It wasn't a shock that they learned it faster than expected. They are princes after all.

     "We have now landed."

     The sons stood up from their seats and took their things.

     "Good Morning passengers, we have arrived at our destination. Thank you so much for choosing Japan Airlines, we hope to see you again."

     "Ah fuck, my head hurts. I knew it, we should have used our private plane," Jiyong stated as they were getting out of the economy plane one by one.

     "Remember what our guardian said rich-kid. We don't want to attract much attention," Seunghyun reminded him, and Jiyong just rolled his eyes in annoyance.

     "Everyone has their bags?" Sunggyu asked when they got off the plane.

     While walking, the members of Arcs and Demons looked at Sunggyu and nodded their heads as an answer. Some even lifted their bags to show them to him.

     "Good. Now, Dongmin stated that we need to look for this guy named Kenji who is willing to let us stay in his house for a week. Your guardian said that he's aware that we're-" Sunggyu paused and moved closer to the sons and whispered, "Demons and angels."

FLASHBACK

 "Okay, you'll be leaving tomorrow so I don't want you to mess things up. You can't stay in a hotel because Japan is a dangerous country for people like us," Dongmin explained.

     "Come on, how dangerous could it be? We're Angels and De-" Minhyuk was cut off as Dongmin continued,  "There's a famous group in Japan who are searching for demons and angels. They've been studying them and already have proof. If anyone of you will be seen doing unnatural things then its over. The people would contact them right away. So even if you can control your powers now, I still advice you to wear your rings, just in case." 

     "Group of Japanese men who studies AND captures Demons and Angels? Well, this can't get any better can't it?" Taeil stated with a sarcastic tone. Then Sungjae looked at their guardian curiously and asked, "And what are these guys called?"

    "Good question Sungjae. They're called "RAVENS". They haven't captured even a single living angel or demon yet, but people fear and respect them. Well, they almost captured an angel...but still failed," Dongmin explained further, shocking them.

     "Well, that's stupid", Jiyong stated instead, not quite impressed by the said group.

     "It wouldn't be stupid anymore if even one of you were captured, am I right?" Dongmin stated seriously, making everyone look at Jiyong with an angry expression.

     "So, who's this guy we're going to meet anyway?" Junhyung asked to finally finish the conversation.

     "His name is Kenji. And he's a very close friend of mine. I called him the other day and he told me that he's happy to let you stay at his house."

     Jihoon looked like he wasn't sure with the idea so he asked, "And you trust him because?"

     Dongmin smirked as answered, "Because he's the founder of RAVENS."

     There was complete silence for a second until finally, "What!?"

     "Are you fucking insane?! You're letting us stay inside a-" Dongmin quickly stopped Suho and continued, "I was the angel he almost captured."

      Everyone immediately settled down. Even Suho sat down in shock.

     "He captured me because of some...circumstances. And then an accident happened. I saved him like what an angel would. After that we became friends, and he left the order of the Ravens."

END OF FLASHBACK

 As the demons were walking, a guy in black suit was standing in front of the crown while holding a placard that says, "Park Dongmin's kids"

     "Looks like that's our guy," Junhyung stated as he and the rest of the sons approached him.

     "Hello, you must be Kenji, I'm Junhyung," Junhyung stated as he held his hand out to shake the hand of the tall man in front of him. Jiyong chuckled as the man completely ignored Junhyung, so Jiyong went in front of the man and spoke in Japanese, "Sir, you must be Kenji. 'I'm Kwon Jiyong and these are my friends. Park Dongmin told us a lot about you."

     Still, the man didn't say anything to him either.

     "Show off," Junhyung said to Jiyong who scratched his back in confusion.

     As the sons were figuring out why the man wasn't talking to them, another man in a black suit arrived and went in front of them. 

     "You must be the "sons" Park Dongmin was talking about. I'm Asano Kenji (Picture above)."

     He looked like a regular middle-aged man, but something about him felt strange. And that strange feeling might be the cause of their previous knowledge of him being the founder of a group who captures Angels and Demons.

     "Please don't be afraid of me. I bet Park Dongmin had told you about my previous job. Rest assured, I have changed for the better. I actually help with church activities now," Kenji said with a smile that only made him look creepier.

     "That does not make it better," Minhyuk stated, a little louder than what he expected.

     "Sorry," He quickly added when he noticed everyone glaring at him,

     Kenji laughed from the reaction, "No need to apologize. I know about you, and you know about me. Doubts and fear will always be there."

     "And...you speak Korean?" Taeil asked, making everyone realize that he's actually talking to them in Korean.

     "I speak 6 languages. You may guess what those are if you want to," Kenji proudly answered.

     "But what's with your guy here? Can't speak any language?" Jihoon stated as he looked at the tall man from head to toe.

     "This is Tada. He's my personal assistant. He only talks when I want him to talk. He is a very obedient and loyal servant of mine," Kenji explained, making everyone look back at the tall man named Tada.

    "Wow, that changed from assistant to servant real quick," Woohyun stated, but Sunggyu glared at him too so he could shut up. Kenji might be a friend of Dongmin, but who knows what he'll do if things get bad between them.

     "But we do thank you for making us stay in your home," Junhyung finally stated with a smile. He was the leader after all. He had to act like a good one. And even though Sunggyu was obviously the dominant leader, everyone agreed that it was best to let Junhyung do most of the talking, since the Demons' leader has a little anger issue.

     "No need to thank me. This is the least I could do to repay Park Dongmin. And I'm guessing you're Junhyung, the leader of Arcs. And this must be Sunggyu, the leader of Demons," Kenji stated as he looked at the two leaders.

     Everyone was suddenly confused about what Kenji stated. How did he know that?

     "I think you're very confused, but this is not a place for us to talk. Tada, please bring their luggage to the limousine."

     "Hai (yes)," Tada answered as he bowed in front of Kenji and took the luggage.

     "Please follow me." 

     The sons followed Kenji and ended up inside a really long limousine. Longer than what Jiyong had in Korea.

      "This is what I'm talking about!" Jiyong stated as he admired the limo when he ran inside, the others following behind him.

     when they were now leaving the airport, Kenji looked at everyone inside the limousine like he was remembering something. And when he smiled, he said, "Junhyung, as the son of Michael, is the leader of Arcs. Arcs are composed of Sungjae, son of Phanuel. Lay, son of Raphael. Jihoon, son of Uriel. Woohyun, the son Gabriel. Mark, son of Raguel. And of course, Seunghyun, the son of Samuel – Angel of Death."

     The Arcs looked back at each other. Not sure to be impressed or freaked out.

     "Next is the Demons, led by the powerful son of wrath, Sunggyu. The Demons are sons of rulers of Seven Deadly Sons, which by the way, I find very interesting. Sons according to sin, Hyunseung of lust, Minhyuk of Gluttony, Suho of Greed, Taeil of Sloth, Sunggyu of Wrath, Jackson of Envy, and the most powerful son, Jiyong. Prince of Pride."

     The Arcs and the Demons were suddenly shocked by what the old man just revealed. He really did know them. 

      "What the fuck old man!? You researched about us or something?" Jiyong suddenly blurted out. A few minutes ago, he was impressed with how rich Kenji was, but now he was just mad on the sudden creepiness the old man was showing.

      Sunggyu stopped Jiyong, but deep inside he wanted to burst as well. Though he still tried his best to stay calm for the sake of everyone.

      "Explain yourself Kenji. We don't want to fight you," Sunggyu calmly stated.

      "I don't want to fight you either. Who am I to fight the princes of Heaven and Hell? I'm actually very honored to meet you all. My life is already in your hands, so I have no intention to fight or hurt you. Yes, I was the founder of RAVENS, the corporation who hunts down demons and angels who are walking on earth. They look like humans, just like you, but they are all very extraordinary creatures. We wanted to examine these said creatures, see how they create and mend their powers, but RAVENS ended up being a group who wanted to kill and eliminate the said creatures," Kenji explained.

     "We're not creatures," Jackson suddenly stated right after Kenji spoke. His voice was low and full of anger. When everyone was looking at Jackson, he continued, "You keep on saying the word creatures. It makes me sick."

     For a second, Jackson's eye almost turned red, but it went back to normal afterward when Mark held his hand tightly.

      "Okay, I apologize. That's the words we used when we-" Taeil immediately cuts Kenji off and said, "So basically you're like the Doves in Tokyo Ghoul."

     Everyone in the limo became quiet.

      "Tokyo what?" Sungjae asked as he confusingly looked at Taeil.

      "It's the manga I've been reading recently. You guys should read it, it's pretty cool," Taeil stated, then Jihoon suddenly pointed at Taeil and said, "I know that manga! You didn't tell me you read it too!"

     "Well, I didn't know you read it as well! So Jihoon, what chapter are you on now?" Taeil asked as the two started to fanboy over the manga no one knew about.

     "That's enough," Seunghyun and Hyunseung commanded in unison, and the two immediately stopped.

     "I'm sorry about my brothers," Junhyung apologized for Sunggyu's sake as well.

     "Don't apologize. Boys will always be boys after all."

     "But can you kindly explain to us the reason why you know us?" Lay asked politely.

      Kenji smiled and nodded his head, "I was the head of RAVENS for a reason. I've read the bible, all the scriptures and old books about Hell and Heaven, and especially Angels and Demons. I know a lot of your fathers as well. So when Dongmin told me about you, I researched a little more, and I was so fascinated by the stories that I've heard from him. Most people don't believe in Demons and Angels, but most people believe in them but haven't even seen one. Until my grandfather, a general way back before met a member of the second generation 12 apostles."

     "What?!" everyone shouted in unison.

     "Yes, like what I said earlier, Dongmin told me a lot about you, especially the Demons. Like how you were normal teenagers who suddenly woke up and found out they were actually princes of Hell. The one who my grandfather met had quite a similar experience. He was a happy loan shark leader; he was bad and cruel. But suddenly he found out he was destined to fight a group of Demons who are out to kill them and destined to find the rest of the 12 apostles. Sounds familiar? His name was Wen Junhui, also known as Matthew."

      "The reincarnation of father Matthew...so his earth name was Wen Junhui," Mark stated in shock.

     "Mark, can you explain this to us?" asked Hyunseung. He was eager to know more about this since the Demons weren't really familiar with the Angels, not like how the Arcs know about the Devils.

     Mark nodded and started his story, "Long ago, there were the 12 Apostles who walked beside Jesus. Everything was perfect until your king decided to create rulers for the seven deadly sins.

      Your experience and your father's experience were the same remember? They were normal people until the king chose them without even warning them about the consequences afterward. 

     God wanted to defeat them, but the 12 apostles weren't strong enough because the more people committed the deadly sins, the more the rulers of the realms grew stronger. So instead, God reincarnated the apostles. All the powers of the apostles, all their knowledge, were transferred to 12 different people who were exactly like them before. Like Father Matthew for instance, he was a tax collector. Wen Junhui, the new Father Mathew, was a loan shark. Thus, creating the second generation of apostles."

     "I see now. that's very impressive," Kenji stated in excitement from his new knowledge.

     "So Kenji, was this the reason why you created RAVENS?" Junhyung asked, and Kenji nodded in agreement.

     "Yes, that's right. My grandfather would tell me all about his encounter with this angel while I was a kid. So while I was growing up, I grew fascinated by it and believed him. I even tell these stories to my son as well. But people thought my grandfather was crazy. Even his own son thought he was crazy," Kenji explained.

     "Son?" Lay confusingly asked.

     Kenji nodded his head and explained further, "Yes, my father did not believe in his story, that's why he always mocked him. Telling my grandfather that the reason why he keeps on losing battles is that he kept on believing that angels are protecting him. But I knew he wasn't lying, that's why I created RAVENS. To let everyone know that my grandfather was not even a bit crazy, that everything he knows is true. And Park Dong Min...was all the proof that I need. But because of him, I also left RAVENS."

     "Who's leading RAVENS now then?" this time, it was Minhyuk who asked.

     Kenji took a deep breath and answered, "My son... Asano Tamo."

     "EHH?!" everyone said in unison. "Your son?!"

     "Yes. My only son Tamo is now the leader of RAVENS. At first, he was interested in the stories I was telling him, but as he grew older, his interest over angels and demons became...what do you call it...violent," Kenji stated with a disappointed face.

     "And you're not even stopping him? What if he does capture a Demon or an Angel, and then kills it?!" Suho stated in anger on realizing that Kenji isn't even stopping his son's gruesome plans.

     "Suho-san, no need to worry. One thing I learned from my grandfather is that Humans cannot kill Demons nor Angels, it's just impossible. So you shouldn't be afraid. I'm just leaving Tamo alone, he could have fun with what he's doing for now. But one day he'll meet an angel or even a demon who would change his perspectives about them. And that kid only listens to his mother. If she was still alive maybe Tamo wouldn't even think about leading RAVENS," Kenji explained.

     Suddenly, just by hearing that, everyone's mood changed.

     "Oh kids, before I continue, let me tell you one rule that you have to remember while you're here in Tokyo," he then tells them.

      The sons didn't say a thing as they anticipated what Kenji had to say.

      "Most important rule in Tokyo: Everything that happens in Tokyo...stays in Tokyo."

*****

 The sons arrived at Kenji's mansion. It was already late and everyone was tired.

     "Welcome to my home. I live here by myself since my son practically sleeps at the RAVENS headquarters so he doesn't go here anymore. Well, I live with 10 maids and 6 butlers. I want a lot of people inside my home, that's why I was very happy that you will be staying here for a while," Kenji explained as the sons looked out the window of the limo to see Kenji's mansion.

      "Well I know you're all hungry, let's eat dinner before I show you your rooms," Kenji finally stated as he went out of the limo.

     "Finally!" Minhyuk shouted as everyone went out of the limo as well. The Demons and Arcs proceeded to the dining room and found out a lot of things about RAVENS and also about Kenji.

     "So your father didn't like your grandfather at all?" Sungjae asked.

     "That's right," Kenji answered.

     "Well, that's harsh."

     "Uhm...can you excuse me, I just want some fresh air," Hyunseung stated as Kenji looked at him and nodded.

    Hyunseung stood up and went to the balcony as everyone continued their conversation with Kenji. He leaned forward as he sighed and closed his eyes; feeling the breeze of the cold wind. They were finally going to meet Kharon the Second tomorrow. After that they'd be heading back to open the gates of Hell. 

     After all these years, there were finally going to the place they should be calling home. The place where their fathers were created, the home of sinners, THEIR home.

      As Hyunseung was thinking and stressing himself out, he suddenly felt someone hug him from behind. It was warm and comforting at the same time. He felt safe in his arms. Then it started kissing his neck until Hyunseung commanded, "Stop it Junhyung. Not now."

     "What's wrong baby?" Junhyung stated as he rested his chin on Hyunseung's shoulder.

     Hyunseung held Junhyung's head gently as he said, "I'm okay, I'm just thinking. But it's making me worried and scared and..."

     Junhyung slowly lets go of Hyunseung and turned him around so he can face him.

     "Then don't think. You shouldn't worry, and you should definitely not be scared. I will always be right beside you. Understand?" Junhyung asked, and Hyunseung nodded his head as an answer.

     Junhyung gently gave a kiss on Hyunseung's forehead, then to his nose, and li-

     "Fresh air huh?" Sunggyu suddenly asked with a smirk as he and Woohyun went to where the two were.

     "Nice timing as always Sunggyu," Junhyung stated with a sarcastic voice.

     "I try my best Junhyung," Sunggyu replied with a smirk.

     Woohyun and Sunggyu leaned on the rails of the balcony as well and looked at the happy couple.

     "It's still so weird that our leader is happily in love with this Demon. I'm not hating okay? I'm just stating the facts here. And everyone's pretty much gonna agree with me," Woohyun stated as the three laughed on how ridiculous Woohyun sounded.

     When everyone stopped laughing, Sunggyu became serious.

     "What do you think we'll do Hyunseung? Once we enter hell," Sunggyu stated without even looking at Hyunseung.

     "I don't know. But whatever happens, I know that we'll be right at each other's backs."

     Sunggyu drank the wine he was holding since earlier and replied, "Let's just see about that."
