Not Your Average Akuma

If you wanted to read "Not your average akuma" then here it is. I would like to put that this was made by colateral-damage666 who apparently listens to what six year olds on the internet say. Anyways I had to track this down on deviant art to get it to you. Also I will not be doing anything with this story. If you want to take it then that's your problem. In any case read it and either like or dislike, it isn't mine so I don't care. And remember, spin to win kids, have fun!

"No, Rin! Stay back! We can't afford you getting in the way right now."

"Why don't you trust me, Yukio? I can fight! You just need to let me for once, Yukio!" But his calls fell on deaf ears.

"Keep him back and make sure he does not follow us. He will do nothing but hinder us if he continues on," A large explosion sounded in the distance and the night sky lit up as if the sun had decided to awaken early. Yukio glanced towards the hills, which were blazing with fires spread all around it. This was a full out war against a group of demons that had decided invading Assiah seemed like a great afternoon activity for that particular day. The fight had been raging all afternoon and well into the night. No matter how much Rin, Bon, or the rest of them complained, Yukio was not allowing them to walk into this situation where they were more than likely to die, especially since Rin wasn't allowed to use his powers. They were still only Exwires, after all.

Other exorcists followed his orders, dragging the teenagers back behind them.

"Lock my brother up if it comes to it," Yukio yelled over his shoulder, removing his guns from their holsters and setting off in a run.

"Yukio! I can defeat this thing! YUKIO!" But his brother was gone and he could do nothing but watch the battle continue on without him and the others. They struggled as much as they could, but the hands that were holding them back, pulling them away from the battle, where too many and too strong to break free. Rin could have thrown them all off, but at what cost? He would mostly likely injure them in the process. They were dragged back and surrounded on all sides and made to sit. They did as they were told, but rebelling the whole way.

Rin fixed his angry eyes back on the fires ahead. They were killing the demons little by little, but it wasn't quick enough, it wasn't good enough. They needed his blue flames if they really wanted to get the job done and to get it done right. He could enialated the quickly with just a simple… no. He was relying too heavily on the powers given to him at birth. He needed to stop that and find a power of his own that made it so he didn't depend so heavily on those blue flames from hell.

He gritted his teeth in frustration, clenching his hands tightly into fists until his fingernails drew blood from his palms. He unclenched them, inspecting the damage, but the wounds had already been healed by his demonic powers. Sometimes he wished he could go back to his ignorant self, to before this world opened before it. It would all be so much easier for him. But that was in the past now and he could do nothing but stride towards the future, making the best out of everything he could.

Another explosion rang out and he could hear people screaming in the distance. He shut his eyes, placing his hands over his ears, but the noises still made their way between his fingers, slicing away at his ear drums in the most painful way imaginable. What if one of those screams was that of his brother's? What if- No. He couldn't think about this. Not now. Not while there was a battle to be fought.

He scooted over to the group, "I want you to distract the Exorcists for a while. Once you do, I'm going to make a run for it. I need to help them. I need to help my brother."

"How come only you get to go again? Why do you always have to be the hero in every fight? If you're going, then I'm going with you," Bon hissed, his eyes like daggers as he stared Rin down. The others nodded in agreement, their eyes as hard as their resolve. There was no way they were just going to let him prance off again on his own like he usually did. They needed a plan and they needed it quickly before-

"Hey, what are you kids whispering about?"

Damn. Too late. Time for an erratic plan. Rin leapt at the approaching Exorcist like a cougar, tackling him to the ground. The man let out a gasp as all the air escaped from his lungs upon impact. The other males followed his example, quickly knocking out or stunning a few more of the Exorcists. It was now or never. They set off at a dead run, well aware that the others were following them. But they wouldn't for long, Rin was sure of that. As predicted they fell behind after only a short amount of time, letting the teenagers escape although their orders had told them to do otherwise. They didn't have time to chase down some teenagers hell-bent on a suicide mission at the moment.

They coughed as the smoke from the fires spreading over the hills entered their lungs and lowered themselves into what felt like a hunter's pace, keeping as low to the ground as they could manage while still running. Gun being fired could be heard from almost every direction and they were amazed they hadn't run into any demons yet on their way up towards the middle of the battle zone.

Almost as though it had been called, a demon appeared before them, a long tongue dripping out of its mouth and retractable teeth. It sighted them at the same moment they spotted it and immediately its teeth slid out from their hiding places. With a roar, Rin came down, smashing the demon on the top of its head with his sheathed blade. It was better than nothing, he supposed. Izumo summoned her two demons to help her fight the demon. It was a low level one and they almost immediately brought it down without too much of a hassle. Before the could take another step another explosion occurred, this time closer than the others. More and more explosions were occurring now, spread out randomly throughout the hillside. It seemed that there was a demon out there that exploded upon death.

The demon that they had just defeated suddenly got up, lunging towards Rin. Its teeth sunk into his far shoulder, ripping though the flesh and muscles, scraping against the bones. Rin let out a scream as the pain rippled though his body and the others stood in shock, not sure of what to do. He felt another intense pain as his shoulder dislocated from the socket, hanging uselessly

"It's still alive!" Bon yelled.

"No shit!" Rin screeched from between the demon's jaws. The demon bit down harder and Rin threw back his head as another frantic scream left his throat. The scream died quickly, though, as the creatures fangs punctured his lungs, filling them with blood. He brought his feet up, kicking the demon in the neck and chest, hoping to get some sort of reaction from the thing, that it would let him go. But it didn't. Instead it bounded away from his friends and they could do nothing to stop it as it quickly moved away from them, leaving them far behind.

With every bound the creature took, more pain would rush through his body. He felt like his right arm was only hanging on by a few strands of muscle and tendons. Black dots swirled before his eyes and he wondered if this is what it felt like when you were going to die. The creature's teeth had sunk into most of Rin's upper body, a few punctured his guts. The pain was so immense now that it was coming down to a dull throb as his whole body began to go numb. He didn't know how much longer he could hold out in this position. The demon bounded into a clearing and then stopped in its tracks. Rin stiffly turned his head to see what was in front of them and his heart sped up in hope at the sight that meet his dying eyes.

A line of exorcists was in front of them, their weapons raised. Shocked gasps ran though the group, however, when they noticed Rin's limp body hanging from the demon's mouth.

"Nii-san!" He heard someone scream and his eyes managed to focus on Yukio, who took a step forward, shocked at the sight before him. Shura also was among and moved forward, her sword at the ready. A low, deep growl came from the throat of the demon, almost like a dogs. It reverberated though Rin's body, only causing his further pain, which he didn't think was even possible at that moment. He could feel its warm, moist tongue wrap itself around his body and the teeth suddenly receded back into the demons head. Already Rin could feel his body trying to quickly heal himself back up to perfect health. Even if it managed to do that, it wouldn't be able to replenish his blood so quickly.

The tongue lifted him out of the mouth holding him in front, as though using him as a shield from the oncoming Exorcists. Rin could do nothing but stay in its grip, staring down at the ground from his totally useless position. He had somehow managed to keep his grip on his sword even after his arm had been dislocated. The fingers were wrapped tightly around it, the knuckles white from the effort, but his whole arm was numb and, if he didn't know better, it felt like nothing was there at all.

The demon lurched forward, much to the distaste of Rin. His body had still not had enough time to heal his wounds and they were already moving again. He heard a few shots rang out as they tried to hit the moving target, but none made it even close. They were too afraid that they'd hit him instead of the intended demon. He wanted to yell at them, spit at them, tell them to waste every bullet they had trying to bring this thing down. But all he managed to do was cough up more blood.

They were closer to the group now, the demon seemed to be on a suicide mission heading straight towards the group at full speed. At the last second, it dug its claws into the ground, its muscles in its legs clenching. It pushed itself forward, soaring though the air and over the group below.

As they flew over, Rin caught his brother's eyes briefly, but it seemed like forever. He could make out every detail about his brother as they went over him, from the fear and anger in his eyes, to the way his hands clenched at his gun, wanting so badly to shoot the demon, but knowing that he wouldn't be able to pull the trigger if he aimed it. He was frustrated and torn. He had sworn to protect his brother after their father's death but now here he was, completely useless when his brother needed him the most. A few tears trailed down Yukio's dirty cheeks, glistening in the light of the fires.

And then he was gone. The demon landed, but kept going, not stopping to even maintain its balance after the landing. It sucked Rin back into its mouth, but just kept him in place between its gums this time around, which he was grateful for. If the creature had shown its teeth once more, there would have been no way for him to survive the new wounds since his old ones had not even healed yet. The fighting was left far behind them now, the demon was leaving the hill, running somewhere else as fast as it could with Rin still with it. Whatever could this demon want with him? Could it have been sent by Satan to retrieve Rin?

The demons stopped again and sat down, a noise rippling though its body like some eager puppy awaiting its master. They were in the middle of another field with a old, broken down house on the other side of the grass. A shadow went over the moon and Rin peered up at what it was. All he could make out was a silhouette of a large figure and an umbrella held above it. The person landed softly just a few feet away, snapping the umbrella back shut and tucking it under his arm.

"Good job, my little akuma. What little pet did you bring me?" The voice said, a laugh seeming to hide behind his words. It wasn't a happy or gleeful laugh that lumbered beneath the surface, but one that sent chills down Rin's spine at the hint of it. The man held Rin's face so that their eyes met each other. Rin shivered at the sight. He didn't even look anything like a human.

"A human? But not really a human? Interesting, interesting. Nice find, my little akuma," the man patted the creature on the top of its head.

By now Rin's wounds had almost healed, but his head was still spinning around. But it was now or never to get out of this alive. Using the hand that was still in the demon's mouth, he punched the thing on the roof of its mouth, bringing forth a little bit of his blue flames. The creature shrieked in pain, dropping Rin onto the ground. He let out a cry of pain as he landed, his arm twisted painfully beneath him. The man reached forward, but Rin transferred his sword to his other hand, smacked the man away with it while it was still sheathed. He could bring it out now, right? There was no other way out of this that he could see.

Using his teeth, he began to pull the blade out and immediately the air around him burst into flames. The blue fire hovered about him, lighting up the sky. The man lunged forward and Rin put all his energy into his flames building them up like they had come from an explosion. The very air crackled under the energy the flames pushed outwards. The overhanging clouds above them had been glowing orange from the other fires but now they shone a magnificent blue. People all over the city could see his flames now. The fire died down and he found, to his shock, that both the man had disappeared.

He sheathed his sword and awkwardly tucked it into his belt, letting it hang by his side. He turned to face the demon, whose tongue was back out of its mouth and wiggling in the air like some slimy worm, saliva dripping off it onto the grass below. Suddenly, its tongue shot towards Rin like a whip, catching him by surprise. It landed a blow on his chest and he flew backwards from the impact. All the wounds in that area that hadn't fully healed yet immediately opened and his blood began to flow heavily from his body again.

He rolled onto his stomach and slowly pushing himself back up using his one good hand and turned, expecting to see the demon preparing for another attack, but it was gone now, too. He began to totter back towards why he had come from when something caught his eye in the grass. It was in about the relative area the man had been standing. He limped over to it and picked it up, turning it in his hands. It was a key. Maybe it was one of those kinds where if you placed it in any door, it would take you somewhere, like all the keys his brother and other exorcists had to get around so fast. There couldn't be any harm in trying it.

He made his way slowly to the rundown house on the other side of the field, perfectly aware he was leaving a trail of blood in his wake and his body was losing strength faster and faster. Is vision was swimming and twisting in front of his eyes like some psychotic dance. He squinted to try and right it, but it continued to move, refusing to let him focus on anything. He was almost there now but, unless it was his imagination, the world was turning vertical.

He fell to the ground, not really sure how he had managed to get there and glanced up the stairs towards the house. Using his good hand, he crawled up the stairs and finally reached the doorway. With shaky hands, he managed to upright himself again and stick the key into the doorknob, twisting it into the lock. There was a click and he shut his eyes, praying that this would actually work. With a simple twist of his wrist, the door opened and what lay on the other side definitely wasn't the inside of the house. He peered in and eventually stepped inside, trying to figure out where he was, but recognized nothing. Maybe it would be best to go back and just wait for the exorcists that were surely following him. There was no way his brother was just going to sit still while some demon made him his chew toy, right? Not to mention there were others who were going to investigate the blue flames they had witnessed earlier. He was about to turn to leave when the door slammed behind him, the key still in the lock on the other side. Fear coursing though his body, he twisted the knob and threw the door open. His heard dropped into his stomach as he realized he was looking at nothing but the inside of a house.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Someone yelled and he turned to see a man at the end of an alleyway staring at him.

"Hey, do you know where True Cross Academy is?"

"True what? What are you-" he stopped as he noticed the blood and wounds all over Rin's body, "My god! You're injured! Help! Someone needs a doctor over here! Someone help!" The man began frantically screaming out into the street behind him.

"Wait, no… I don't…" but it was at this moment that his body decided that he no longer needed to use his legs. He flopped to the ground like a fish out of water and the blackness began to eat at this eyes, covering his vision almost entirely. He heard running footsteps as several people made their way towards them and he found himself seeing a man with bright red hair and an eye patch before the blackness consumed his entire body.
