Chapter One: A Single Blue Flame
Is that All that I Am?
The fog around the buildings was heavy. The only light available were the streetlights that were probed by fat moths. The ghetto reeked of month-old food and sewage, the area littered with trash left by the city dwellers. A cold wind blew by and the girl who was walking down the street rolled down her jacket sleeves, thrusting her hands into her pockets and clenching her teeth. She shrugged her shoulders till they cupped her ears, easing her of the numb feeling in them. She let out a harsh shudder and shut her eyes for a while. She then paused, hearing the sounds of struggling animal and a few snickers. With curiosity in mind, the fifteen-year-old rounded a corner and came close to an alley, peeking her eyes over. She gave a quiet scoff as she saw it was some gang members skateboarding circles around a few injured pigeons. The girl could see droplets of blood scattering the ground, the pigeons hooting feebly as they tried to fly away. The girl shook her head and turned to walk away when she noticed the sky, seeing that it was just beginning to turn a rich, dark purple. She licked her lips and looked back the slightest at the alley. Sighing, she pulled her jacket hood over her head and she unzipped her jacket. With a deep breath, she rushed in.
'This'll be a pain in the ass, but I guess it's worth it.'
The girl gave a snarled grunt as she stood on her hands and kicked two of the guys square in the jaw with both of her feet. By performing a back flip, she got to her feet and threw a knife-hand jab at the last thug's throat, the man coughing up blood and trying to get some air back into his lungs. The girl took a few steps back and the skateboarders made a dash for their rides.
"Run for it!"
"This bastard's crazy!"
"He's a monster! A demon even!"
The girl scowled and wiped blood off her split lip as the group ran away like dogs with tails between their legs.
"A demon? Tch, trust me, You're a Hell lot worse than me." she muttered as she took off her hood, shaking her black-blue hair until it reached past her shoulders again. She took a look at her hands and sighed tiredly as she saw that her knuckles were torn open with blood caking into scabs. She bit her lip and furrowed her brows.
"Shit, I just had to go and get into another fight. Man, I'm gonna be hearing this as guilt talk for months." she grounded out. She eyed the ground and spotted the unmoving bodies of the pigeons. Pools of crimson-red liquid were around them and the stench of decay wafted in the air. The girl shook her head in defeat. Looks like she wasted a whole hour for nothing. She walked forward and kicked one the pigeons the slightest. She was surprised to see it's head shoot up with wide eyes, it's orange-button pupils wide with fear. With huge eyes of her own, the bleeding girl knelt to it's side and carefully picked up the cooing creature. She noticed the odd crook in one of it's wings and she gently took the tip of it's wing between her thumb and forefinger.
"Hold on, this might hurt like a bitch." she warned before lifting the wing and hearing the bone snap back into place. The pigeon hooted in pain and immediately flapped into the air, flying away and leaving the black-haired girl. The girl stared at the sky in disbelief, watching it splash with yellow, light orange, pink, and pale blue. She scratched the back of her neck with a slightly bewilder look.
"You were a lucky one. You look death in the face and decided that you were gonna live longer, huh?" she asked. She rolled her head to crack the tendons in her neck and she walked out of the alley, her eyes revealing to be an oceanic-shade of fathomless-blue. She stuffed her hands into her pockets and walked down the street with the shake of the head.
'What am I playing at?'
"I hoooommmmmeeeeee!"
The girl opened the door and was slightly surprised to see that someone was already waiting by the door of her home. She relaxed when she saw it was the only other person who eyes like her own.
"Welcome back. Where have you been?" asked the other girl. She could have been the other girl's mirrored double had it not been for her black-brown hair, more fuller face, and rhombus-shaped glasses. A small frown was on her lips. The other girl pushed herself past the slightly taller girl and gave a dry huff.
"I'm starved. Is there any food left for breakfast?" she asked, ignoring the other girl's question as she took off her sneakers.
"There is, but-"
The girl still ignored the other as she walked into the dinning room, mentally sighing as she saw that nearly all the seats were full with some men dressed in dark colors. Piles among piles of food decorated the table.
"Ah, Rin. You're home!" smiled the man at the head of the table. His hair was a silver-gray and his eyes were burgundy-brown. His glasses were round and he had several piercings decorating his ears. The men at the table regarded and greeted Rin as well as they ate. Rin took a seat at the table while the girl who had greeted her severed her some food.
"You were out for quite a while. That shows commitment," said the gray-haired man with a nod. Rin gave a flinch. "You see what I have? A diligent daughter, that's what. She's been out the whole night job hunting." said the man with a proud nod. He then turned back to Rin with a smile. "So, what kind of job did you get?" he asked.
Rin looked down at her bowl of white rice and placed one hand on her neck.
"Well, you see- GAH!"
The fifteen-year-old gave a sharp yelp as she was pelted with chopsticks and onigiri. She cast a glare at the man, who was glaring back.
"Oh, so you were out fighting again, weren't you? Don't play dumb, I can see that your lip is split! What's with you! Thinking with your fists instead of your head!" he scolded as he tossed more items.
"You're one to talk! And quit throwing crap at me!" yelled Rin as she deflected the projectiles. The man gave a sneer and muttered something with the words of 'useless child'. The two then settled down and the man pulled a letter out of his pocket.
"Here, this is for you." he said as he passed it down. Rin unfolded it once she had it and she stared at the words.
"And… just what is this?" she asked, waving the letter slightly.
"A friend of mine is looking for some help at his tradition restaurant. How about it? You could be a good cook with your skills. If you want to, then go get ready. The interview is today." said the man. Rin took a look at the letter one more time before wadding into a ball.
"I'm not going. I mean, really. Me? In a traditional restaurant? There's no way I'm cut out for it. I can't handle it." she reasoned. The man stood op from the table and bared his teeth.
"Are you that stupid, you lazy girl! Do you think with this type of attitude that can do whatever you like? As your guardian, I think I know what's best for you! Don't you understand?" he asked, banging his fist on the table. "You should know that someday, you will have to start living out your own life. It's time you start growing up and become an adult!" he said firmly. Rin chewed on the inside of her cheek and her blood began to boil.
'I… Am not-'
Everyone jumped as the stove gave a steamy whistle with hot water and steam spewing out of it.
"I AM NOT STUPID!" yelled Rin, breathing heavily as her eyes hued with a electric-blue color. Everyone at the table murmured softly, the other girl walking to Rin's side and patting her shoulder in a consoling manner. A person then walked into the room.
"Father Fujimoto, there is someone here to see you." said the man. Fujimoto gave a nod and he stood up from the table.
"Yes, I see. Yukiko, help dress Rin's injuries, will you?" he asked. The girl, who was now called Yukio, nodded obediently and led Rin to the kitchen. She then got the first aid kit out and placed antibiotic cream on the scabbing wounds of Rin's knuckles. Rin was muttering all the while.
"Damn the old man… Thinks he knows what's best for me…" she said in a hushed tone. A warm hand ruffled her hair and Yukiko gave a light laugh.
"There, there. You know he means well." said the brown-haired girl. Rin shrugged off her jacket and quirked a brow.
"Hey, Yuki? You're gonna be going to high school soon, right?" she asked. Yukiko gave a slight shrug, not minding the childhood nickname the darker-haired girl had called her.
"Yes. I have my books and school supplies all ready packed up." she said. Rin leaned back the slightest and gave a toothy grin.
"Man, that's so cool! It's that elite school, right? True Cross? Damn, you're so lucky! Makes me feel glad that you're my twin sis." she praised. Yukiko gave a light laugh as she dabbled a little antiseptic on Rin's torn lip.
"I'm just working as hard as I can. With going to that school, it can help me become a doctor." she said.
"And I know you can do it!" said Rin with a grin and nodded. Yukiko gave a smile.
"I'll do my best."
"No kidding! You're so awesome with first aid and all that!"
"…That's kind of because you always get into fights, Rin."
The other twin's face fell into a crestfallen look and she brought her legs together until the soles touched.
"Yeah, I know. Hm, I guess I'm just the big screw-up while you're the one who makes everything better, right?" she asked with dry humor, sporting an emotionless smile with her scabbing lip. Yukiko gave a weak smile as she sat next to her sister on the table. For a moment, Rin could actually think that she was staring at a mirror.
"Listen, don't think I'm lecturing you or anything but, what do you want to do with your life, Rin?" asked Yukiko. Rin looked to lap and said nothing. Her sister draped one arm over her shoulders and gave a small squeeze.
"Come on, don't be this way. You know I'm just worried about you… The same goes for father." she added warmly. Rin placed her head in the crook of her sister's neck and shrugged.
"I'm not stupid."
"I know that, and father knows that, too."
"He acts like I won't amount to anything. He thinks I think that life is just some game. Well, I know it's not a game and I do know how to take things seriously. It's just… even if a chance appears right in front of me, I just don't know how to… grasp it, I guess. I just can't see myself taking it. Does that make sense?" asked Rin looking at her sister. Yukiko gave a smile.
"Well, that's for you to find out then, ne?" she asked as she got up from the table and pulled a box from one of the cabinets.
"Anyway, just go to the interview, Rin. It might help you out, Here, father bought you new clothes and everything." she said, taking of the lid and showing her a white laced blouse, dark blue skirt, white knee socks, freshly polished Mary Janes, and a blue checkered hair ribbon. Rin sagged her shoulders.
"He knows I hate wearing this stuff." she pointed out.
"It never hurts to dress fancy. Come on, it's only for one day. I'll make you some Sukiyaki if you get the job." said Yukiko. She blinked in surprised as the box was yanked from her hands and dust cloud in the outline of her sister whizzed by.
"Make sure to make twelve platefuls!" whooped Rin as she raced up the stairs to her room. Yukiko gave a small giggle with a shake of her head. She should have expected this from her sister.
"Now, it goes like this, then like this, then- Shit! This thing just keeps slipping out of the knot!"
Rin gave an annoyed grumble as she shoved the blue ribbon in her pocket and walked down the stairs of her home. She took a look at her reflection by a window and she gave a sigh, trying to see if she could move a few of her messy bangs away from her eyes.
"Thank you, father."
Rin paused and looked out the window, seeing Fujimoto crouching to a little girl with the girl's mother.
"Here's a four-leaved clover charm. Keep it close and the demons will never come by." said Fujimoto, petting the little blonde girl's head and handing the charm. Rin caught the fatherly glint in the old man's eyes. "You are such a lucky little girl. Having a loving mother and father to watch over you. Remember, if you're ever in deep trouble, they will always be there for you. And if that isn't enough, just come see me, alright?" he asked. The girl nodded and smiled sweetly before nodding and leaving the place with her mother.
"Really? Now you're going around saying that demons exist? Looks like you had an over dosage of medicine, old man." said Rin as she walked out of the house.
"They do exist. Just within the very hearts of humans," said Fujimoto with twinkling eyes. He then blinked with slightly surprised eyes. "You're… wearing the skirt and blouse…"
Rin flushed red, looking to the sky.
"W-Well, I just thought I might go to this interview you were talking about. Yukiko said it might boost up my chances if I look all fancy, y'know? That, and if I get this job, Yukiko might make me some Sukiyaki, and it's been ages since we had that. Um… I think I look… more respectable in… this…" her voice trailed off as she suddenly took interest into ground. Her caretaker gave a chuckle.
"I can see that. You look like a fine, young lady," he commented. Rin's blush darkened and she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "By the way, where's the ribbon that goes with it?" Rin looked to the side and sucked in her bottom lip.
"Th-Thought it would be too much. I don't need it, really. I look fine enough." she said in a worried and assured tone. Fujimoto gave another chuckle and he held out his hand.
"Give it here, I know it's in you're pocket. I'll tie it on you. I can tell that you didn't even know how to," he said.
"Huh?" asked Rin, nonetheless handing the ribbon over. Fujimoto walked to her side and carefully pulled out a bundle of his 'daughter's' hair and began weaving the ribbon through the dark locks.
"You know how to do this? That's pretty creepy and pervy, old man." commented Rin. Fujimoto shared a hearty look.
"Don't take me for that, kiddo. It's just something a learned from trying to find a better way to tie my shoes. Ah, now lets see. My, your hair has much longer than I remembered. And you're finally reaching my height, that's good." he mused. He then looked at Rin with a nostalgic smile. "You know, you were a cute kid when you were little. The way you always said, "Daddy, daddy!"" he laughed with amusement. Rin glowered at him as a blush tinted her cheeks.
"As if! I can't be cute if you want me to be an adult! That'd be creepy." she grumbled. She gave a growl as her guardian did a mock look about.
"An adult? Where? All I see is a little girl with a cute bow in her hair? HAHAHA!" he laughed, nearly busting a gut.
"Shut up! Get bent!" snapped Rin, steam pouring out of her ears. Fujimoto's laughter died down and he clasped his hands behind him.
"Well then, if you don't like being treated like a child, then why don't you show how much you've grown up? Hm?" he asked. Rin fumed as bad as a boiler room and she clenched her teeth.
"Don't treat me as one of you're clients, you dumbass! Go preach to someone else! Just you watch, I'll show what a grown-up I've become! You better keep your eyes peeled out, ya hear!" she screeched. The older man cocked his head.
"'Peel my eyes out'? Sounds painful." he said.
"Never mind! I'm outta here!" she yelled as she stormed away. Fujimoto shook his head, his amusement almost distracting him as something passed his eye. He quickly grabbed it and gasped as the small, shadow-like creature disappeared into thin air.
"Rin…"
"What the… what the Hell is this?"
Rin looked around the busy streets of True Cross Campus Town, her eyes wide as millions of ashy specks fell from the ground. She squinted her eyes, seeing that no one else was noticing them.
'What's going on? Am I the only one that can see these things? Ah, why do my eyes feel like they're burning?' she wondered, rubbing her eyes to get the watery feeling out of them.
"Hey, if it isn't that girl we met in the alley!" Rin turned and gasped as she saw it was the group she beat up. Her eyes blinked rapidly as she saw that the leader of the gang had black horns sticking out of his head and a black pointed tail coming from his backside. The odd, bug-like creatures were swarming him, but the guy didn't even take notice.
'What is he? Some weird cosplayer?'
"Listen, we just wanna say that we're sorry for what had happened back at the alley," said the leader, a blonde with snake-like eyes. He eyed Rin up and down and gave a smirk, "Hey, can we talk for a while? Don't worry, it won't take long." he assured, though Rin could tell he was lying through his teeth.
"Sure." she said with a shrug. She knew that she couldn't trust this guy but she knew that if she could beat these guys once, she could beat them again. She fallowed the gang into a secluded cul-de-sac and she leaned against one wall.
"So… What's up?" she asked. The blonde gave an easy grin.
"So, can I pay ya in cash, or do you want me to take you out on a date?"
Rin picked her ear, trying to make sure it was clean. When she was sure, she answered.
"Um… excuse me?"
"You know, I'm talking about that thing with the pigeons. I'll pay or do whatever ya want. Money's no object, as they say. Just keep quiet about it, alright?" asked the blonde, pulling out a large stack of yen and waving it to the strong girl like a person would wave bait to a wild animal. Rin shook her head, holding the urge to roll her eyes.
"No thanks. I wasn't going to say anything anyway. And I get what your saying. You guys must be going to True Cross like my sis, right? So I get what you mean when you say that you don't want anyone to find out about this," she said, then giving a yawn. "listen, if this is all you wanted to say, then I'm leaving. So I'll just-"
"Srnk. Yeah, you're not fooling me, you little bitch!"
Rin tripped on her footing slightly and looked over her shoulder.
"What did you just say?"
"You said you had a sister, right? Okumura Yukiko, right? Yeah, I heard about you guys. You're one of those girls that live with that priest, Father Fujimoto right? Tch, I guess he likes his charges so much that he took pity on you two and let you live with him. Man, I heard you're sister study her ass off just to get into True Cross. Heh, she's pretty cute, too. With that little smile of hers, I bet men just threw their money at her. Che," he flicked his bangs and his smirk widen, "You guys are such a poor case, I wouldn't doubt that she become a prost-"
His jaw snapped so hard, he actually flew back as Rin stood where he was, her fist out stretched and her eyes as wide and dangerous as a rabid dog's.
"You can say… what ever the Hell you wanna say about me. But don't. You. Ever. INSULT MY SISTER!" she screamed, her fist tightened so hard that her mending cuts reopened. She gasped as she was gabbed by her sides and pushed to the ground. She let out a snarl as the blonde leader sauntered over to her, the millions of specks nearly covering the half of his face.
"That's right, hold that bitch down. She is a 'monster' after all. Oh, what's this?" he asked as he picked up the letter that had fallen out of Rin's pocket. He unfolded it and laughed.
"So this is what the girly get-up is for? A job interview? Well, can't say I don't like it, from what I'm seeing." he snide, giving a small slap at Rin's bare thigh. Rin yelped and shot a glare, her eyes turning a almost ice-like blue.
"Heh, heh, heh. Guess this is all that you're reduce to, huh? Just some pussy who goes to any length for cash. Well don't worry, lets get you use to the experience, shall we?" asked the blonde as he reached and ripped the top buttons off Rin's blouse. The girl gave a screech and she tried to twist away.
"H-Hey, I don't think we should go that far. Raping might get us in real-"
"Shaddup!"
The blonde's fist came so fast, it was like lighting. His lackey fell back and ground in pain, for he was cut from the nose mouth by the blade in the man's hand. Rin gasped and she tried to escape but she was then grabbed by her hair. She gave a yell as the blade was held at her forehead.
"Now don't going doing that. Now lets leave ya a few marks on that pretty face of your's."
'He's gonna hurt me. He's gonna rape me! He gonna kill me! I gotta-!"
Suddenly, a fire-like feeling went off at the pit of her stomach. She took a deep breath as warm air seemed to fill every part of her body and a white-hot tingle ignited on her head. With wide eyes, she watched in horror as sudden flames as blue as royal sapphires licked at her body. The thugs around her yelled in pain at the touch of the flames and they ran away as quickly as possible. Rin looked at her hands, hardly feeling the blue flames that swirled around her fingertips. She was surprised. The flames tickled, not burned.
'What's-what's going-'
"Ah, my apologies, M'lady."
Rin turned and her eyes widen a fraction at the kneeling demon before her. He reached out, took her hand, and kissed the top of it, flashing a charming grin. Rin flinched in fright.
"If I had seen your lovely blue flames before, I would not have to resort to such roughhousing. Now come, dear lady. Satan-sama awaits us." he said, lightly tugging on Rin's wrist. Rin stood frozen in place, too shocked and afraid to move.
"~Evil dwells within this heart. O' Lord, let each be judged according to his deeds. Let sinful conduct beget retribution. Let each pay for that which he has taken~."
Both demon and blue-flamed girl turned and saw Fujimoto walking by, a cocky smile on his lips. The demon let out a hiss and he took several steps back.
"An exorcist!" he exclaimed in horror. Fujimoto gave the slightest chuckle.
"~Smite them that they shall never rise again. Blessed by the Lord!~."
He threw his hand foreword with a ferocious look.
"Perish where you stand, demon!" he yelled, the demon giving a yell as fire as black as night darted out of his body. Rin watched with widening eyes the blonde boy fell to the ground. She walked over to him.
"Is… Is he-"
"No, I did not kill him. I just exorcised the demon that had possessed him. If he changes his being, then he won't be possessed anymore." said Fujimoto. He then gave a serious look. "Rin, you must calm down. You could burn this whole place down if you go further." he warned. Rin wrapped her arms around herself, her body beginning to shake like a leaf.
"What… What just happened? I'm… I'm scared…" she whispered, fright filling her very core.
"Calm down. Let me explain. There are two worlds out there, Rin. The one we live in, called Assiah, and the one where demons reside, Gehenna. Originally, demons could not cross over to our world. But, by the power of possession, that impossibility became possible. The little speaks you see now are called 'Coal Tar,'" he said, gesturing to the small specks surrounding them. "They won't do harm. But, if you are to be out here too long, then those others stronger than the demon you just faced are sure to come after you. Quickly, we must leave!" hasted the old man, grabbing the blue-eyed girl by the arm.
"W-Wait! What's this all about! What does this thing with demons gotta do with me? What's with the blue flames? What exactly am I!" demanded Rin. As they ran through the streets, her guardian cast off a sad look.
"You are part demon. You were born of a human who was impregnated by a demon. And not just any. You're father is Satan, Rin. You are the daughter of Satan!"
"You're- You're sending me away! What are you saying!"
Rin now stood in front of her home, Fujimoto already having a suitcase and a sword in a black hilt held in his hands.
"I'm saying exactly what I am saying, Rin. You must leave! If the other demons find out that you are the daughter of Satan, then they shall surely come after you! You must leave at once!" yelled her caretaker.
"That's bullcrap, and you know it!" yelled Rin, her teeth clenched so hard it hurt, "What about this job interview, huh? What about Yuki!" she demanded. Fujimoto wrung his hands.
"You're sister was weak when you were born. The powers of Satan rejected her and they went to you. As for the job, it can be passed. We must get you out of here. Far, far away. Where you can be safe." said the brown-eyed man with a nod.
"No… No!" yelled Rin defiantly, her eyes dilating and her breathing going so ragged that it looked like she could be foaming at the mouth. "Getting rid of me is not protection! It's just because I'm the screwed-up twin, right! I'm nothing like Yukiko! I can never be like her! You just don't want to deal with me anymore! Admit it! You don't see me as your daughter! I'm nothing but a monster to you! Well that's just fine! YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER ANYW-"
She fell back as a powerful slap was brought upon her face, Fujimoto glowering at her angrily. She took a few steps back and pressed her hands against her bruising cheek.
"Now's not the time to act this way. Just go now, Rin." commanded the old man. Rin felt a misty feeling in her eyes and she looked to the ground, sucking in her lips and holding back the tears of pain and suddenness she wanted to release.
"Fine." she muttered, grabbing the sword and suitcase and making a move to turn away. She was then suddenly grabbed by the shoulder. She stopped and sagged her shoulders.
"What now? I thought you wanted me-"
He words were caught in her mouth as she saw that the hands was clawed and flamed in a blue fire. She turned and gasped as she stared into sharp, cat-like eyes, more blue than her own, yet with a familiar feeling to them. She let out the slightest sounds of surprise as she saw it was Fujimoto, becoming engulfed by blue flames with his ears becoming pointed and furred, canines replacing his teeth, and blood pouring from the rims of his eyes, his nose, and his ears.
"Well then. I finally have the chance to meet my darling little daughter. Aw, aren't you as pretty as your mother?" asked the possessed man, rosaries and crosses melting away.
"What-What are-" Rin felt like a deer caught in headlights, only worse. The demon gave a chuckle and he gripped the girl's shoulder harder.
"Now, now. Don't look at your father that way, young lady. Ah yes, I should introduce myself. Nice to meet you at last. I am the God of all Demons. The rightful King of Hell. Satan, your father." he then gave a chuckle, "You may call me, 'Papa' if you'd like." he said, snickering. He then looked at his hands and sniggered. "I'd like to keep this up, but it seems that this body I took over won't last long. Come along." he said as he suddenly cast a palm to the ground and a swirling vortex of shadows appeared. Rin shut her eyes tight and then reopened them as she saw white-marble gates before here, darkness and screams filling every corner of the pathway.
"This is the Gate to Gehenna. Now come along, we need to return. Oh, but before we do, lets destroy this first. The sooner, the better." said Satan as he made a grab for the sword. Blue flames like his own whipped at him and he jumped the slightest as Rin retreated back, icy-blue flames covering her body with the look of a wild animal's on her face.
"FUCK OFF!" she yelled, the sword in her hand help in a vice-like grip. Satan chuckled and he clapped his hands in mock praise.
"Cute. My little girl is experiencing her first flames. I should be proud, but I would never be proud of a mistake." he sneered. Rin knitted her eyebrows together.
"Mis-Mistake?" she asked, the words twisting her heart like a dagger. Satan flicked his white hair back.
"Yes. Something I should be regretting. But, there is something I am proud of. Yes, the oddest of things. You bare my blood yet you can still live in this world. You're blood is of mine, so therefore, you'll do just perfect! You shall be my ultimate way to get Assiah! You shall be reborn!" laughed Satan psychotically as black flames surround Rin. The latter gave a scream as she tried to fight back.
"No! NO! SOMEONE! ANYBODY! HELP ME!"
"There is no one to help you! Accept it, my dear girl! Become Hell's princess! BECOME A GODESS!" laughed Satan.
Rin chocked and cried as the flames took over her, the corners of her eyes darkening.
Her eyes opened again as she suddenly saw her demotic father choking, clutching his chest. She winced as she landed on the ground on her bottom and she looked to the demon as she saw the unthinkable.
"Ex-Exorcist!" yelled Satan, feeling half of his body go in control of the fighting Fujimoto. Rin dropped the blade she held in shock and she watched as her foster father grabbed it, whipping out the blade.
"This girl… is my daughter! And I'm taking her back!" he yelled in defiance. Satan gave a mighty laugh, sheathed the sword, and he cast it aside.
"What good would that do? You'll just end up killing yourself! Face it, the girl is mine!" he yelled.
Rin felt movement go back to her limbs and with all her might, she swam through the river of shadow's spilling out of Hell's Gates. She looked around and spotted the forgotten blade. She looked to her guardian, the man who had called her his daughter and she felt a fire set off in her heart.
"Well then, if you don't like being treated like a child, then why don't you show how much you've grown up? Hm?"
'I haven't shown you yet. And… I just won't let you go until I do! So don't… Don't you dare…!'
"DON'T YOU DARE DIE ON ME, OLD MAN!"
With a roar, Rin sprinted to the sword and withdrew the blade of it's hilt, feeling the hottest feeling take over her. She screamed as an inferno of blue flames covered her entire being, her ears becoming demotic, her teeth enlarging and sharpening, her eyes forming a cat-like shape, and a black, pointed tail coming from behind her. With a bellow of mixed emotions, Rin took a dive and slashed at the master centerpiece of the white gates. Thousands of shadows spewed and fanned in the area, making Rin lunge for the ground. The new demon landed on her feet and she closed her eyes as the gates vanished, her sword sheathing in place. She heard something heavy drop by and Rin took a look. Her heart stopped beating.
Fujimoto lied in his own blood, his skin nearly chard by the blue flames and a sad smile on his face. Rin felt cold rain hit her as she dropped her sword and walked to the exorcist. She crouched down and touched his chest. There was no beating against his ribcage. He was gone. Fujimoto was dead.
With a small sniffle, the girl dropped to her knees and placed her hands on the dead man's shoulders, burying her face into his lifeless and bloody chest as sobs shook her entire body.
"D… Daddy…"
The funeral was held shortly after morning came. No one asked of what was the cause, for those who were exorcist knew. Everyone of the community and the monastery came, all of them apologizing to Rin and Yukiko. Rin's twin was holding a sad and sweet smile, thanking the people who were giving their regards. Rin knew that Yukiko was holding back her tears. She knew that her sister wanted to let them out. The both of them were wearing identical black dressed with their hair done in the same French Braids. Rin didn't even mind that she and her sister were being confused for each other. Now didn't feel like the time to angrily point out to people that Yukiko was the one that wore glasses. Both girl's were told to say a few words. Rin said she couldn't but fortunately, Yukiko said she could give the both of them. All she had to do was take off her glasses during Rin's speech and no one would notice. Rin felt OK with that but at the same time, she felt bad. She didn't like this feeling.
As Yukiko did her, Rin's, speech, said new demon walked out to the cemetery, right to her guardian's grave. Strapped to her back was her sword, it's name being Kurikara. It was the very sword that had held back her demon powers. With a few red snapdragons, she placed them on the grave and gave a weak smile.
'You always said you liked these. I guess it was one of the actual times I listened to you…'
"Oh, how long I waited to meet you, darling little demon princess."
Rin snapped her head up and her eyes widen as a man walked over, his appearance making him really look like he could stand out in a crowd, had it not that is crowd was dressed in black and surrounding the area. His hair was a dark violet and his eyes were a dark, forest-green. His clothing consisted of a white suit with a pink, white polka-dotted bowtie, a white top hat, a goatee, and demotic ears, eye shape, and teeth. In his hand was a funny-looking umbrella. He walked over to Rin, his umbrella protecting the both of them from the rain.
"Good afternoon. My name is Mephisto Pheles. I am an old friend of Father Fujimoto. My best of sympathies for your lost, little one." he said, a joking grin his face.
"Are… are you and the others them?… Exorcist?" asked Rin, finally finding her voice. Mephisto gave humor-filled laugh.
"We are known as the True Cross Order, little princess. And as ordered, I have come to kill you." he said. Rin looked to the ground, feeling that she could get frozen by the man's eyes.
"But… you offer protection, don't you?" she asked. The top-hatted man gave a pity look.
"We do, but not of the public, my dear. Now, I can give you two choices, so pick carefully. Either allow yourself to be killed, or kill us and feel like a coward. Now, I'd settle for the first but maybe suicide will be more quicker." he suggested. The red-eyed girl grounded her cheek and shook her head.
"No. Let… let me join you!" she yelled. Mephisto took a step back wile Rin took one forward.
"I… I don't care what you and the others say! I am not Satan's daughter! I am not related to that monster! My only father… My true father… was Fujimoto Shiro! The man who took his life to save me! The man who called me his daughter!" she yelled, breathing with labored breaths before she went on. "I'll become an exorcist and kick Satan's ass! Just you watch!" she yelled. No one in the area spoke, for they were too shocked to. Then, Mephisto took on a bombard of laughter.
"AHAHAHAHAHAH! YOU-YOU CAN'T BE-BE SERIOUS! AHAHAHAHAHAH! SATAN'S DAUGHTER! AN EXORCIST! REALLY, I-I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING THAT INSANE IN EONS!" he laughed. Rin let out a growl and then Mephisto finished, then giving a snap with his fingers.
"Very well! I like it! You got yourself a deal!" he said happily. The men around him gasped in surprise, along with Rin.
"S-Seriously? You mean it?" she asked. The white-clad man gave a nod and grin. His face then took a serious mask upon it.
"Yes. But I must warn you, it will be the most difficult thing that you'll ever face. Becoming an exorcist is not easy. It'll be especially harder for you since you are half-demon. Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked seriously. Rin looked to Fujimoto's grave, looking at the deep red color of the snapdragons before giving a firm nod at the flamboyant man.
"Yes. I am no long human or demon. You can just call me an exorcist."
