Tokonosu High
If one were to go to the rooftop of Tokonosu High school they would find none other than Rim Okumura taking a nice relaxing nap. Rin is an eighteen year old young man with messy, jet-black hair that sweeps down in his eyes, with pale skin and an athletic build which was covered by the Tokonosu High school uniform. To anyone else Rin would look like your average high school student, but that couldn't be further from the truth. For in fact Rin was an exorcist, not like the once in the movies that do a stupid little chant, no Rin was a true exorcist, warriors from the world of Assiah also known as the human world that protect mankind from Demons. But Rin wasn't like other exorcist, Rin was special, for he and his younger brother Yukio were the sons of Satan, gifted with immense power but cursed as well. But instead of becoming monster like their biological father the brothers chose to fallow their adoptive father's footsteps and become exorcists with the goal to one day kill Satan.
Three years ago Rin's powers were awaken, this turn of events lead to many things such as a fight with the demon king known as Astaroth, the unsealing of Rin's demon form and sadly the death of Rin's and Yukio's adoptive father Shiro Fujimoto by his own hand in order to return Satan back to the Underworld. After all this, Rin swore on his father's grave that he would become a paladin and kill Satan. and so he was enrolled in to true cross academy thanks to the help from one of his father acquaintances one Mephisto Phelps; and that is how his life as an exorcist began.
During this time he met many people and made a few number of friends along with his fair share of enemies. In does three years people had come to accept Rin as a true exorcist even when knowing of his roots Rin was able to show them all the he wasn't the 'son of Satan' he was Rin Okumura an exorcist of the order of the true cross. He proved this as he rose through the ranks. Currently Rin was a middle first class exorcist thanks to his hard work, determination, along with training from his mentor Shura Kirigakure.
Now one might be wondering what a person like Rin was doing in a normal high school like Tokonosu, well…
(Flash-Back: Start)
Rin and Yukio were currently heading towards Mephisto Phelps office, they had gotten word that the chancellor wished to see them as soon as possible. Once they entered the office they saw their leader behind his desk with a mountain of paper work on both sides. Once they had entered the room Rin closed the door loudly in order to get the Demon king's attention which luckily worked as the man jumped a bit in surprise as if being released from a trance.
"Ah Rin-kun Yukio-Kun, good to see you boys, please take a seat" Mephisto said as he put away the finished paper work.
"Thank you sir" Yukio said as both he and his brother took the seats inform of the large desk
"Now then I'm sure you're both curious as to why I've called you here" Mephisto said getting a nod from both brothers. "Well as you both might know demon activity has been getting larger as of late and we think we might know why"
"Well what is it?" Rin asked in his usual manner
"We've received word that something is coming we don't know exactly what it is yet but it's big" Mephisto stated with a dead serious tone which told the young men that this wasn't something to take lightly.
"How 'big' are we talking about sir" Yukio asked feeling the weight of the situation.
"From what we know big enough that three of the Demon kings are working together. We don't know which once but the mere fact that their willingly cooperating is enough to know that if we don't do something Assiah will be in big trouble" the chancellor said
"So why are you telling just us, shouldn't does old geezers in the Vatican be doing something" Rin said as he crossed his arms. While he was accepted by the exorcist, he and the higher ups in Vatican weren't in the best terms, especially after that incident with his grandfather using him to open a gate to the underworld.
"They have, they've ordered the leaders of each branch around the world to dispatch exorcist to certain 'hot-spots'"
"Hot-spots sir?" yukio asked with a raised eyebrow
"Yes places with abnormally large amounts of demonic energy. Yukio I'm sending you and a small team to a small town called Karakura (just go with it) you're team leader. As for you Rin you will also be working with a small team, you will be heading to Tokonosu City" Mephisto said as he handed the two of them folders explaining what their assignments would be.
"Oh and before I forget I've enrolled both of you into the local high school as third years" the chancellor said with a happy smile on his face.
"WHAT! WHY?!" was Rin's reaction while Yukio stayed calm and collective.
"Well we can't have you two walking around hunting down clues for a possible demon plot in the middle of the day. People might start asking questions or something if they see teenagers that aren't in school" explained Mephisto
"But what about the others in our teams?"
"They will be getting small time jobs as cover. Demons are more active during the night any ways so I doubt much will happen during the day"
"Its fine sir will try to blend in and not attract too much attention to ourselves, right nii-san" said Yukio as he sent his brother a stern look.
"Yeah yeah alright. But what about my sword i doubt the school will be fine with me carrying a weapon around" said Rin
"Is the seal you and Shura came up with still working?" Mephisto asked getting a nod of confirmation. "Then just leave it in your locker and make sure no one see's it; and from what you've told me if someone does get their hands only it'll just be a regular swords unless you add your blood to the blade. Correct?" Mephisto questioned.
"Pretty much yeah" Rin said.
"Then there you go. Now then you boys leave in a week id start packing if I were you. Dismissed" Mephisto said as both brothers left the office.
(Flash-Back: End)
And so that's how Rin ended up in Tokonosu High, he had been here for the better part of 8 month and during does months the eldest Okumura could definitely say that his time in this city had been interesting. During the night he was tasked with the usual exorcist duties kill a few demons here and there along with looking for clues as to what made this place a hot-spot but unfortunately his search came up with nothing but either dead ends or cold clues while his team mates weren't doing any better than he was.
But the same couldn't be said for his social life in school, while at first considered a delinquent, does rumors quickly ended when Rin defended a student from the local bully and his toadies.
(Flash back: start)
"Hey what you got there fatty" the bully said as he took the tubby boys magazine. "The fuck is this shit, gun? What you want to be a big bad soldier or something fatso"
"Hey come on give it back" said the boy as he tried to get his magazine back but was pushed back into the ground
"Maybe lose a few pounds you lame Otaku" said stooge number one
"Or maybe just crawl up and die you loser, you're just a waste of space anyway" said stooge number two as all three boys began to laugh.
"HEY!" said a voice which caused the bullies to stop laughing. As they looked behind them they saw Rin with an angry look in his eye.
"The fuck you want new guy?" said the leader
"I want you and your little toadies to leave him alone and get the hell out of here" Rin told them with a dead serious look on his face. Not liking how Rin was talking to him the leader slowly walked up to him and stop right in front of him.
"The hell you say to us asshole" the leader said with a pissed of look on his face as his friend watched with smirks on their faces.
"I said leave. Him. Alone. Or are you too stupid to understand" Rin said with a smirk as the exact thing he was expecting happened.
The bully let his anger get the better of him as he sent a fist towards Rin's face. Unfortunately for the bully Rin was extremely well trained as he easily moved his head to the side avoiding the attack. But before the bully could do a thing his eyes went wide as he felt a sharp pain along with all the air leave his lungs as Rin delivered a solid punch to the bully's' stomach making the large boy drop to his knees. Once the boy was down the blue exorcist sent a strong kick the leader's midsection sending him rolling to the side.
As Rin returned his attention towards the two remaining bullies he felt satisfied at seeing the shocked looks in their faces as they saw their leader curled up in a ball holding his injured stomach. As their eyes landed on Rin once more fear was shown written all over their faces as they saw the evil smirk on his face which promised nothing but pain.
"So. Anyone else want a go" Rin said in a casual tone. Once does words left his lips the two stooges ran towards their fallen leader as they picked him up and quickly made their way to the exit as fast as they could.
Once they had left Rin walked towards the tubby boy offering his hand while giving him a friendly smile. Which the boy returned while accepting the offered hand. When they boy was finally on his feet Rin picked up the magazine and handed it back to him.
"Hey thanks man, don't think there are a lot of people who would stick their neck out for a stranger. Names Kohta, Kohta Hirano" the boy introduced himself as he offered his hand which Rin politely shook.
"Rin Okumura and don't worry about it, I hate bullies so kicking that jerks ass was pretty satisfying" Rin said as both he and Kohta shared a good laugh. Once the laughing died down Rin decided to start some friendly conversation.
"So you like guns huh? My twin brother is pretty good with gun, he actually taught me bit about them" Rin said and knew he had caught kohta's attention if the stars on his eyes were anything to go by.
(Flash-Back: End)
After that any rumor of Rin being a delinquent quickly as people go to know him they saw that he was just a nice laid-back guy who got along with pretty much anyone as long as they didn't cause trouble for anyone else.
But as Rin reminisced about the past eight months, he failed to notice that someone had snuck up behind him. When he noticed that something was covering his sun he slowly opened his eyes. Once his deep blue eyes were finally opened he was able to see what or rather WHO was blocking the shinning rays of light and once he saw who it was he couldn't help but let out a small smile.
The individual with whom Rin had locked eyes with was a beautiful young woman with long, straight and shiny purple hair along with a triangular fringe at the front that barely touches the bridge of her nose, she had blue eyes and she was fairly tall reaching 5.7 almost reaching Rin's 5.8 the way she stood with grace and elegance while her eyes showed kindness and loyalty to does who earned it. This person was none other than Saeko Busujima top student in Tokonosu High, captain of the kendo club and close friend to Rin Okumura.
"Shouldn't you been in class Rin-kun" Asked the purple haired beauty with a kind smile
"I could ask you the same thing Saeko-chan" Rin said deciding to play her game.
"Well unlike a certain someone I've attended enough classes to skip one or two" Saeko told him as him as she watched get up as he dusted off his uniform.
"Hey come on at least I get decent scores on tests. Plus I had class with that ass Shido, you know how much he give me the creeps" he told her which he emphasized by shivering a bit, which earned him a few giggles from the kendo captain.
"I can't say I blame you. But his class should be ending by now so you should head down" she told him as she headed for the exit.
"And where are you going?" asked the curious Okumura
"Dojo, thought I'd do a bit of practicing. Care to join me" she said with a more playful smile to which Rin smirked.
"Bring it on" Rin responded as he walked after her.
Even though Rin wasn't officially part of the kendo club everyone there welcomed him with opened arms especially Saeko, after all Rin was one of the few if not only people to push Saeko to her limits which was why they had weekly spars. Not only did they both find some one that would keep their skills sharp but a kindred spirit within each other. He could still remember how they both meet.
(Flash back: Start)
For the past few weeks things had been going well for Rin while he wasn't the most popular guy in school he pretty much got along with everybody. He had a few problems with the group of punks but he was able to teach them their place. But even with all this Rin was just bored silly, classes were boring and the only thing he actually enjoyed was skipping a certain creeps class to catch a few Z's.
Now that school was over Rin made his way to the dojo inside the school which he saw during his tour a few months ago. He had asked permission to use it after the kendo club was done with it; not seeing a problem with his request the principle gave Rin his permission to which the exorcist was thankful for. Glad to finally have some time for himself Rin open the the wooden slid door expecting to see an empty dojo. But what he wasn't expecting was for someone else to be practicing at this hour.
Inside the Dojo was a beautiful purple haired girl practicing with a bokken doing the usual Kendo katas, but just as Rin was about to leave the girl turn around already aware of his presence.
"Oh hello, were you planning to use the dojo?" the girl asked with a polite demeanor.
"Um yeah I was but I saw you were busy so you know I didn't want to interrupt you" said Rin as he scratched the back of his head.
"Actually quite the opposite. Practicing alone can get quiet boring, I don't suppose you would care to spar would you?" asked the swordswomen
"What make you think I'm any good?" Rin asked with a raised eyebrow
"What other reason could you have for wanting to use the dojo when it's empty if not to practice uninterrupted" stated the girl getting a good laugh out of Rin,
"Ok you got me. Alright ill spar with you just let me get changed" Rin said in an amused tone
After Rin changed he made his way back, there he saw Saeko wearing the same body armor hewas, behind his face mask Rin was grinning like an idiot. It had been a while since he had a good old fashion sparring match, he doubted Saeko could push him to his to far but that didn't mean he would underestimate her.
"Whenever you're ready" She asked.
"Just so you know, I don't hold back" Rin said as he dashed forward, surprising Saeko with his speed before slashing downward.
The young women managed to side set and dodge Rin's slash, before countering with a side slash, but Rin raised the upper half of his sword and blocked the attack. After holding Saeko's attack back, Rin lifter his bokken until Saeko's sword touched the hilt and with a quick twist he pushed his opponent's sword back before attacking with his own sword again. Saeko loosened her grip on her sword hilt before spinning downward blocking Rin's attack, pushing forwards and moving to the side before attacking from the side. Rin retaliated by twisting his leg around and performing a 180 spin planting his foot firmly on the ground blocking Saeko's attack.
The sound of wood clashing was heard through-out the room as Rin and Saeko sent attacks at each other, while at the same time blocking each other's moves. Neither of them could believe what was occurring, in Rin's case because after a long time someone was actually a challenge to him sure if he had been using his personal weapon along with his powers things would have been over in minutes but he was definitely enjoying himself. As for Saeko she was in the same mind set as Rin and she knew that if she had held back even by a small amount she would have lost.
Saeko pushed Rin away before leaping back and went into a stance with the sword leveled to her head, she took a quick breath and began to analyze her opponents form. She could tell Rin was good with a sword, really good. Rin's skills with a sword was most impressive, each attack he sent was accurate and effective and not a single waited movement.
Narrowing his eye slightly, Rin shifter his stance and moved his bokken to a one hand as he crouched as well, his blue eyes studied Saeko stance before looking at the girl's face. As the two seemed to be waiting for something neither moving from their spots as they quietly watched each other. Rin tighten his grip before swinging his sword to the side and charged forward with and leaped bringing his sword on a downward slash, Saeko reacted at the same time as she brought up her sword with an upwards slash.
To Saeko's surprise as the two swords collided, they both passed each other as the sound of something hitting the floor reached their ears when they both looked down they saw the upper half's of both their bokken's on the floor as the similar thought ran through their minds.
"Well…that was a thing" Rin told her as he took of his face mask with an amused small on his face.
"Indeed it was and I must say that was the best spar I've has since nationals. Not many can push me like that" Saeko stated with a small smile.
"Well I do aim to pleas" Rin said jokingly making getting a small laugh out of Saeko.
"So, care for another go?" she asked as she threw him a bokken which he easily caught.
"Bring it on" Rin said as he put on his face mask
(Flash-Back: End)
From then on their spars became a weekly tradition for the two of them along with after each spar they would sit down and just talk and time passed began to grow closer and closer. And while Rin tried to deny it he knew that he had developed a crush on the purple haired girl, she was basically the perfect woman, she was kind, beautiful, treated everyone equally and with respect all while being able to kick some serious ass. He had actually considered calling Mephisto to make her an offer to choin order but quickly brushed that idea aside wanting to spare her from his crazy world. Never noticing the small blushes she had the few times she caught him stealing a glances at her.
But even with all this peace Rin couldn't help but feel that something bad was going to happen. What it was he didn't know, but what he did know is that whatever it was things wouldn't be the same.
End
(A/N: Hey guys and gals hope you've liked this as much as I liked writing it. Blue Exorcist is one of my favorite anime's and I'm a big fan HOTD so I thought I'd combined both. Yes there will be a paring (and I'm sure you've already figured out who) but the focus of this story will not entirely be the romance, it'll focus on the groups survival and their adaptability from fighting zombies to demons, mixing it up a bit and all that. Also you might notice that I focused my attention more on Khota and Saeko that's because I have plans for them.
Also Rin might be a bit OOC not by much but it's there, Rin will be more mature along with more a skilled swordsmen while also having much more control over his flames, I'll be adding a gun to his arsenal but he'll barely use it and while he won't be a strategic genius he won't simply rush in head first depending solely on brute force he'll think before acting and well that's pretty much it.
Also on a small side note if any one curious about the whole sending Yukio to Karakura that was just me having some fun so don't expect a Bleach appearance.
Well people if you've gotten this far thanks for reading and please don't forget follow and favorite along with reviews your opinions matter and it helps me know how to improve as a writer.
Thanks for reading and adios)
