Chapter 1
3rd Pov
There were footsteps running out the door and this caught the young priest's attention as he glanced into the hall. He chuckled when he spotted the boys playing tag with their new friend, it was a girl that he introduced to the twins earlier this year and the three of them grew close.
He notices that her presents during the eleven months she's been there that the boys were having fun and mainly that Rin's behavior has improved. Leaning against the door frame, Shirou chuckled again while muttering, "This might work out..."
Yukio stopped to catch his breath, glancing up he saw that the other two have continued off without him. But his eyes widen when he heard Rin call out to him, "Nii-san! Come on!"
Smiling, he ran up to the two while fixing his glasses. He saw Rin hand him his coat and scarf, but before the little boy could question it his brother laughed.
Rin glanced over to the girl beside him who was wrapping her pink scarf around her neck and grabbing her gloves. The older twin laughed a bit as he buttoned up his coat while saying, "We're going to build a snowman together!"
"But we didn't ask pap-"
"Then we'll ask him now!"
"Hold on you three," Father Fujimoto rested his hands on top of the two boy's heads as he glanced among the three children before he chuckled. The young man looked down at Yukio, "Are you three planning to play in the snow?"
The black haired girl jumped over at Rin as she threw her arm around the boy while reaching over for Yukio, "We're going to build a snowman!"
"We should have a snowball fight!" Rin looked at his brother's teal blue eyes, "Nii-san, what do you think?"
Shirou laughed as he grabbed his coat while saying, "You three better be covered up or else you'll get sick."
Rin stuck his tongue out, "I won't!"
Yukio snickered to himself when he finished wrapping his scarf, but Father Fujimoto pointed at the navy haired boy as he said, "You'll surely get a cold if you keep doing that, Rin."
The navy haired twin laughed as he placed his hands into the gloves, "I won't dad!"
Father Fujimoto chuckled as he messed with the boy's navy messy hair before fixing Rin's coat and checking on Yukio's. The young man glanced over to the girl, but he notices that she was already outside. He studied how the young girl stood out there, her bright violet eyes shimmered, giggling as the snowflakes began to fall from the skies, but Shirou smiled again when the boys left his side. He watched at brothers played in the snow and the girl grabbed some of the snow before threw it over at the twins.
The priest stood up, reaching for his worn out scarf, he chuckled again when he saw the children play in the snow. He knew that he made the right choice of allowing their paths to cross one another, but some odd reason there was a feeling lurking that not all appears right.
Walking out, he closed the door behind him as he watched the three kids work together to create the base of the snowman. The young man chuckled, standing under the falling snow while he kept an eye on the children. Shirou sat down on the steps as he began to ponder the thoughts that have been crossing his mind lately. Holding his chin, but before he could get lost in thought the sound of laughter caught his attention.
Looking up over at the three children, he smiled again when the oldest twin held out his hand to the girl and this made Shirou realize that maybe things won't be too bad. Having them together like this will do good for them and maybe it'll help them over their faults so they can grow from it.
The navy haired boy stops when he caught something from the corner of his eye, he saw that the girl fell back onto the snow and Rin notice how she giggled about it. She smiled up over at him, "This is fun!"
Rin held his hand towards her as he said, "I got you!"
Her violet eyes shimmered before she giggled while accepting his hand, but the young girl threw her small arms around the boy. She smiled, "You're my best friend too, Rin!"
Glancing over to the other boy, she pulled him into the hug before she laughed, "I'll never forget you two!"
Smiling, she grabbed the twins' hands while a giggle escaped her lips, "We'll be friends forever! Best friends!"
Rin smiled wider before he tuggd the other two and the three began to spin in a circle. The navy haired boy laughed, glancing over to the jaded haired girl before he shouted, "Together forever!"
Meanwhile Yukio smiled, keeping a grip over the other two as he laughed a bit, but he didn't say anything. His eyes glanced over to his brother before shifting his view to the dark haired girl and Yukio knew that those two won't part so easily. Yet the glasses wearing boy chuckled as he muttered to himself, "Yeah, friends forever."
10 Years Later
3rd Pov
Shirou sighed, grabbing the phone he began to dial a number of an old friend, but the priest frowned as he realized what his next action will led to. Rubbing his eyes, he tried to think if he's doing the right thing, but his train of thought was interrupted by the person on the other side of the phone.
"What do I owe for your sudden call~?"
"I'm only calling to know if I may speak with S-"
"My dear daughter isn't here at the moment. She's off with a few other Exorcists on a recovery mission."
"When she's available then tell her to call me."
"Does it involve the boy? Oh~! How are they? Having any little fire issues yet~?"
"No. But I feel like he needs to prepare himself for what will happen and I believe he needs-"
"-He needs my daughter's guidance? Are you planning on revealing his true origin? If not, then how will my daughter help him?"
"She can give him advice, sword techniques, and probably some knowledge about Gehenna and some insight about our job. Yet I still want him to have a normal life."
"Exposing him to her will only bring problems since my daughter has embraced her nature meanwhile the boy hasn't, so she'll be hiding from him. He will be hiding from himself. You wouldn't want that, won't you Fujimoto, and especially since the two have already formed a friendship before."
"I'll think more over it, but for now I'm planning to take him over there in a few days."
"Sounds reasonable. Fine, I'll inform my daughter about this and she'll call you when she's available. Until then, ta-ta~"
Yukio entered the room after over hearing his father, the young twin closed the door carefully as he asked, "Do you truly plan on having Rin meet her. Now? I know she'll be happy to see my brother, but do you think it's best that he knows."
"Yukio, I have thought about this for so long and I honestly believe it's time for those two to see each other. If she managed to tame her own power, then there's no doubt that Rin can learn from her."
Shirou stared at the boy as he sighed, "You have seen it yourself, Yukio, and you can't deny that they would make a good pair to learn from one another."
"Nii-san, won't understand anything if he doesn't know about the power inside him."
"You're right, and Mephisto has said mentioned the same thing, but I must over think this and do what is best for Rin." Sighing, he crossed his arms leaning against the door frame, "You should head off before you're late on the call you received," Smiling at the young teen, "I'll see you when it's dinner."
Chuckling, the priest shook his head, "I do hope today Rin doesn't get into any more trouble like yesterday." Glancing over at Yukio, he noted that the brown haired twin held a look within his eyes and he knew the boy had mixed thoughts about this whole thing.
His brown eyes soften before resting his hand on the boy's shoulder, "Be safe out there, Yukio, and don't worry much about this. I'll handle this and probably give some advice to Rin so he can find a job that suits him."
Nodding, Yukio adjusted his glasses while brushing his hand across the bag that was strapped over his chest, "I'll see you later, Father, and I'll tell about the mission when I get back."
3rd Pov
3 Days Later
Someone from the corner of his eye caught his attention, the lively color stood out from all the black clothing and even the rain couldn't die out the color. There was a girl, he never saw her before, but at the same time he couldn't really see her clearly through everyone and the pouring rain. All he could tell was that she was wearing a black coat, along with a black skirt and tights, but the only color he saw besides black was the white collar shirt under her coat. It had a giant purple bow that seems to be like a tie, but Rin saw something very odd and it was her hair, it was a different color and it seems to be braided into two with a black ribbon tied in each braid.
He couldn't find the girl after she rushed through the crowd of people that came to visit his father. The boy didn't really know that his old man was very well known, but in the end, he didn't know anything. All the people around him were strangers, but they must've known his old man.
Turning over to the side, he saw his younger brother from a far holding onto an umbrella while speaking with someone, but Rin couldn't see the other person except a hint of purple was barely visible. Yet he notices that Yukio was in deep conversation while glancing over to him every other minute as if he was keeping something hidden.
Rin just stood there alone under the pouring rain, his eyes were glued on the grave stone that rest over where his father was under. The boy felt so much guilt, regret, rage, and sorrow that it left him feeling so numb for a moment as if time stopped and Rin couldn't tell what was going on anymore. All he thought was back to when his old man saved him by giving up his own life, but Rin couldn't do anything in return.
Looking down at the phone he was given by his father, he remembered clearly what to do and he called the only number saved in the phone. Suddenly his ears flinched at the sound of a phone going off, with wide eyes glancing everywhere he tried to locate the sound and only to find a pink phone reject his call.
Staring at the stranger cloaked in white in his outrageous outfit that made the man look like a clown. He frowned slightly as he put the cell away, Rin watched the purple haired man walk his direction with a creepy smirk that only made the boy frowned.
"So are you the one my old man said could help me?"
He snickered at the boy's question, "Yes, but surely you must know that I'm here to do my job." Glancing around as people surrounded the boy, "You are a threat now, boy, and I can't let you live."
Rin's eyes widen for a moment before he glared back, he bit back, "He said-"
"You are Satan's son, you can't possibly be allowed to wonder around. As Exorcists, our job is to eliminate demons such as yourself. So I give you an option, turn yourself in so we can kill you or you just go kill yourself." He smirked, waiting on what the boy would say.
His blue eyes landed on the ground for a moment before returning his attention back to the clown, "I'm not the son of Satan! I'm father is the old man, he's the only father I have! So go to hell, I won't die here..." Frowning as he gave him an answer or more of a proposal, "I want to become an Exorcist!"
The white cloaked Exorcist's green eyes widen at the boy's outburst, but he broke out of a fit of laughter. He laughed so loudly, he was taken back at what the boy said, but the white dressed Exorcist couldn't help, but grin at the boy. His gloved hand covered his face as he said, "You. You want to be an Exorcist?"
Rin glared, "Yeah!"
"My name is Mephisto," Grinning as he glanced at the other Exorcists who surrounded the boy, "Don't worry. He'll come with us."
They tried to abject to what their superior have decided, "Lord Mephisto-"
Quickly dismissing them with a wave of a hand, "Forget it."
Mephisto laughed again before staring at the half demon boy, "Do you know the choice you've made?"
The boy stood tall as he responded, "Yeah, I'm gonna kick Satan's ass!"
The clown laughed once more at the boy's statement and this only made Rin angrier that he was being laughed at. His blue eyes harden as he shouted, "What's so damn funny, clown!?"
Regaining his composer, Mephisto chuckled again before turning all too serious. His lazy green eyes turned cold, "However Rin, the path you've chosen is not a simple one..."
Raising a brow at him, Rin kept a hard look as he knew what his life has become. Nothing will ever be simple or normal and he knows there's no turning back. All he wanted is to prove to his old man that he can still make it, to show him that he has ability to succeed and act like an adult.
Shoving his hands into his pockets, Rin only stared at Mephisto, "I know."
Mephisto smirked again before waving him off, "I'll come collect you tomorrow morning, so be prepared."
The clown left the boy alone walking over to a stranger, he stood beside the girl that Rin saw earlier and the white dressed Exorcist threw his cape around her while holding his pink umbrella over them. The two were whispering to one another, so no one could hear their conversations even if they had their distances from everyone.
But the young girl wasn't in the best of moods since she found out that a dear person to her has passed and deep down she knew that Mephisto was hurt too. Yet the strange man won't let anyone know how he feels about losing a close friend, and the girl won't mention anything about it after they leave this place.
Not even time will mend the broken shards that lay within those who loved the fallen Paladin.
Rin only frowned as he glanced around to the other Exorcists, but he raised a bow at the clown who smirked over to him. What is he plotting? Glancing over to the grave stone that belonged to Father Fujimoto, Just wait and see old man, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.
Next Day
Mephisto's Office
"Everything has been sorted out for you, my dear. Soon you'll be attending the Exorcists Cram School as an Esquire, but I must inform you that you will be among a group of Pages."
Resting the file down in front of the girl, the demon only smirked as he leaned forward. He was studying the girl's reaction towards the news and he himself is looking forward to what lays in her future. This is the next step that he needs to set his plans in motion, but it'll come with a price.
"Pages? Why am I not with the rest of the Esquires?" Her bright violet eyes widen as she picked up the file, looking over her written information, but she couldn't understand why Mephisto placed her with Pages instead of Esquires. Looking up from the papers, closing the file while she kept her eyes on the demon.
He waved his hand around, not minding the question much attention, but still giving an explanation for his choice of actions. Grinning at the girl, he stated, "Darling, there isn't any Esquires at the moment due to low students attending this year and the following year before it. Which means you are the first Esquire of this school year."
"But they'll judge me for being an Esquire! I'll just get held back!" She stood from her seat causing the chair to moved back a few inches as she argued with the Chairman. Curling her hands into fists, she glared at white dressed demon, but she sighed in frustration.
"Don't mind them much attention, sweetheart. You worry about your studies and I know you'll be an Exorcist in no time."
"Fine..." Setting the file down in front of him as she began to take her leave, but stopping at the door the Esquire looked over her shoulder, she said, "Thank you... Sir Pheles."
"A fair reminder, my dear, please return a quarter before nine, so we can speak about your studies and your living environment. Till then, Sapphire," He waved farewell at the girl, a smile forming across his lips. The demon chuckled once the Esquire was out of sight while leaning back in his chair, before he reached for the file that laid on his desk.
Skimming over each detail he wrote within the file, his smile faded as he glared at it. He knew what trouble would lay ahead of him if the Vatican were to discover the truth behind the girl, but he chose not to give the detail that she was under his care. If they knew then they won't allow the girl out of their sight nor will they let the girl be part of the Cram School.
Mephisto needed her to be out of their sight for a bit longer if possible, but for now all he needs is to keep track of her actions for his own propose.
Standing up he chuckled to himself when he remembered something else, "I need to collect my dear little brother~" Snapping his fingers, he was dressed in his white outfit and his cape and the umbrella in hand. Still grinning to himself as he left his office.
Everyone was dressed in school uniforms excluding one girl, who was in casual clothes, but she ignored all the looks that were sent her way. The girl ran through the crowd of students as she glanced over at all the incoming freshmen and returning students, but she smiled when she spotting two old familiar faces causing her stopped in her tracks.
She didn't go meet them instead she walked away as more students arrived and some looking at her with different expressions, but she passed through without any problem, disappearing from the scene as if she wasn't even there.
Yukio stopped as he spotted an odd color from the corner of his eye, glancing over he saw a glimpse of lavender, but he adjusted his glasses while he stood there. He couldn't tell where the color belonged to since it disappeared from his sight the moment he turned around, but he got a pat on the back when Rin came to him.
"Yukio!" Rin look around before returning his attention to the boy, "What are you looking at?"
Yukio shook his head before continuing, "Nothing, Nii-san. Let's go."
Yukio glanced down at the book in his hand as he frowned slightly to himself. The brown haired freshmen sighed before he adjusted his tie a bit since he needed to prepare himself for a later event.
But he stopped underneath a tree when he heard a laughter, but it wasn't any laugh. He recognized it, it's been a long time since he last heard it, but it made the corners of his mouth twitch upwards for a moment before finally looking up at the source of the sound. His eyes widen a bit at the sight of an old friend.
Hanging upside down from the tree was a girl with lavender hair. She giggled when the boy looked up at her in pure shock, but he began to laugh a bit while fixing his glasses. The girl flipped down in front of the boy as she pulled him into a tight hug while laughing,
She smiled brightly, giggling even more in pure joy of seeing the boy again, "How long has it been!?"
He chuckled a bit as he pulled out of her embrace and gave her a sad expression, "It's been a few years, actually, but the other day wasn't on good-"
She stepped back, giving him a sad smile, "I know..." Her eyes lowered a bit as she remembered what became of Father Fujimoto, but she shrugged her shoulders lazily when her eyes meant his, "I haven't seen anyone when school was over and when you left."
Nodding his head, Yukio crossed his arms, "A lot has happened since then."
"...I know..." Sapphire chuckled bitter sweetly, " Well, I shouldn't be keeping the freshmen representative busy, so I'll see you around..." She turned on her heals, but Yukio grabbed her shoulder causing the girl to glance over to him.
His teal blue eyes held no emotion within them as if he's hidden from the world. The lavender haired girl remembered that they used to hold fear, doubt, and envy, but now she can't see anything. No, the young teen has grown and time surely has changed them since the last time they spoke.
Shaking her head, a bit as she heard Yukio ask, "Are you joining?"
Chuckling as she nodded while removing his hand from her shoulder, "Yeah, but I need to deal with some paperwork and some other stuff before I could join. You know, complicated stuff."
Stepping back, he adjusted his glasses before replying, "...Okay, but I expect you to at least take this serious unlike last time," He smiled at the girl as he recalled old memories.
Brushing her hair behind her ear, she giggled as she placed a hand around her ear, "Huh? What did I hear~ If I can recall, I beat you last time, but I just didn't get anything out of it." Crossing her arms, "You on the other hand actually gained a title, while I gained new knowledge and much more experience."
Rin stopped in his tracks, tilting his head, the boy was surprise to see a girl not in school uniform. Yet she was within the school, but he remembered Mephisto stating that the school indeed have a dress code.
But why wasn't she in uniform?
She was wearing a white collar shirt, a velvet tie and with a black skirt and oddly she wore a pair of black gloves along with a pair of black boots that reach a bit above her knees. The lavender hair fell down until it reached her lower back, it appeared to curl a bit on the tips and it held a wavy look to it, but Rin notice that there was ribbon in her hair that kept it out of her eyes.
Besides that, her hair caught his attention since he never saw someone with lavender hair, but Rin quickly realized something. His blue eyes widen when remembered that the girl could be the same one from the funeral. She stood there in front of the vending machines and she appeared to be thinking about something.
The girl appeared to be older, but Rin felt like she should be a student and probably around his age. He would admit that the girl looked cute, better in that outfit than the girl's school uniform. But the half demon boy already knew that she won't find him interesting since Yukio is the one to get all the girls.
Walking over to the mysterious girl, he shoved his hands into his pockets while looking at the vending machine, but he spared a glance over at the girl.
Rin causally asked a question, "Do you go here?"
Her eyes were something beyond this world, but Rin felt this familiar spark as if he seen her before. His eyes widen a bit when he saw how her eyes held mixed emotions that seem to be calling out to him for some reason, but he didn't know why. But he swears that he's seen those eyes before almost like in a dream.
She smiled before shaking her head slightly, "No."
"Oh..." Looking away from the girl, Rin stared at the vending machine again and he realized it was some sort of food ticket machine.
Pressing a few buttons, the girl handed Rin two tickets before she said, "Here. I think you and your brother would like this," Smiling, she went off before the boy could react, "It was nice meeting you!"
"H-Hey! Wait!"
Rin stared down at the tickets, muttering under his breath while frowning slightly to himself as he realized something important, "I never mentioned I have a brother."
Glancing back up where the mysterious girl once stood, he narrowed his eyes as he whispered, "Who the hell was she?"
