I do not own the Anime/Manga series Blue Exorcist nor the characters, though I do own my two characters that take role in this story; Yuko and Elixia.
"Ow ow ow..." Yuko grimaced in pain as she tried to stand. She plopped back down to the mulch and sighed.
Elixia looked over at Yuko. "Yours hurts too?"
"I think I broke it..." Yuko said.
Elixia leaned forward to get a better view at her ankle. The two looked at it before looking at each other. Though, Yuko's eyes never opened.
"I think you broke it too," Elixia agreed, observing it more.
"What about you?" Yuko asked.
Elixia examined her ankle. It only looked swollen to her. She moved it around, and a pain shot her ankle. She winced, before lowering it down. "I think it's broken too,"
"Do you think we can make it home in time before auntie yells at us?" Yuko faced the sky and felt the light seeping through her eyes. She opened them a tiny bit, letting a wild smile spread her face. "The sky is so pretty,"
"I think we should sleep here for tonight,"
Yuko scrunched her face up, and she closed her eyes again. "Where?"
"We could sleep in the tiny tunnels," Elixia offered.
Yuko shook her head. "What if people find us there and kidnap us? How about I just take Ran out?"
"Are you two okay?" asked a stranger.
Yuko and Elixia turned their heads to see the towns Exorcist, also known as the greatest Exorcist in the world, Shiro Fujimoto. Elixia and Yuko shared a nervous look; they couldn't lie to a man like him.
The first thing Shiro noticed about one of the girls was Yuko. Her dark orange, bouncy high pigtails rustled in the small wind that blew. Shiro was awestruck just by that. But she didn't open her eyes and in fact kept them close, which bothered him. He then looked over at Elixia. She had shoulder-length black hair and bangs that stopped at her eyelashes. Shiro had compared her to a cat, with her piercing green eyes.
"Helloooooo," Yuko waved her arms in the air to him.
"We think we broke our legs," Yuko told Shiro once he stood in front of them.
"Ankles," Elixia corrected.
Shiro stopped staring at Yuko and bent town to their height and examined their ankles, a small frown forming on his face. "These are sprained ankles... they do no good. How did this happen?"
Yuko and Elixia pointed to the swings. "We jumped," they said.
Shiro shook his head in disapproval. "Wasn't that scary?"
"No way!" Yuko blurted excitedly. "I could see the world!"
"We thought it'd be cool if we landed on one foot like ballerinas," Elixia added.
"Well," Shiro sighed. "Extremes like those are for later on in life."
"No, you're wrong," Elixia said. "We're living our life to the fullest and experiencing new types of pain." Yuko nodded in agreement.
Shiro peered at Elixia and seconds later his frown turned into a smile. "That's very wise of you to say," he said truthfully. "Now, where do you two live? I'm sure your parents are worried."
Yuko pointed down the road. "Aaaaall the way down there and up a hill and through the woods and down a hill and across a river."
"How do you make it home in time before your parents yell at you?" Shiro sounded like he had lost hope.
"We have to be home before 11 or else Auntie won't give us tomorrow's dessert." Elixia pulled out her phone and showed Shiro that it was already 8:34 pm.
"We usually leave at this time," Yuko mumbled as she looked through the contacts of her phone. She pressed the green button and put the phone against her ear. "Aaauunnttiiieee, we sprained our legs,"
"Ankles," corrected Elixia once more. She said it loud enough for her aunt to hear.
"Yes, we're fine. The towns Priest Mr. Shiro is here with us... okay." Yuko handed her phone to Shiro. "She wants to speak with you,"
Smiling, Shiro took the phone and held it to his ear. "Hello... No, I do not I'm afraid... Sure... No, it wouldn't be a problem at all... Alright... Okay, goodbye."
Shiro hung up the phone and smiled at the girls. "You're staying a few days with me, girls." he said, handing the phone back to Yuko.
"Well in that case," Yuko struggled to stand up and climbed on his shoulders. "Please let me see the world!"
Shiro laughed and scooped up Elixia, making her squeak. "Okay, let's go home kids. I have 2 sons who will be thrilled to see you,"
The priest started walking without struggling for balance. "What are your names, anyway?"
Yuko bent down to his face with a smile. "I'm Yuko,"
"My name's Elixia..." Elixia introduced.
"Yuko and Elixia..." Shiro mumbled. "So are you two best friends?"
"Sisters," said Yuko and Elixia quickly after he asked.
"... Can I be in in your sister group?" Shiro pleaded.
"No, no old men allowed!" Yuko giggled, playfully hitting his head.
"Hey, I'm not that old," Shiro defended.
