Hey, Shienhui here! If you've read my other fanfics like Crossfire and Arrow, I want to apologize for not updating and I know I shouldn't be writing new ones before finishing the rest. But I just can't help it! I've suddenly got a spark of inspiration and I just had to do a BE fanfic. I'm thinking of shipping my OC with Rin and possibly a few others. Please review and tell me what you'd like to see in the future!
Enjoy!
I do not own Blue Exorcist, just my OC.
Chapter 1
After what felt like an eternity, the school bell finally rang. I tapped my pencil against the table, my eyes glued on the piece of paper before me.
'Application for Teaching Assistant position'
I swallowed. Throughout the last period of school, I had been rereading the letter that I wrote over and over again. My writing skills weren't perfect and to be honest the application letter didn't look too good either. But surely with Father Fujimoto and Neuhaus-sensei's recommendations, I would be accepted?
I hope.
Though I am an accomplished exorcist, I am still inexperienced when it comes to teaching.
A long sigh escaped my lips as I ran my fingers through my messy hair. If I do manage to become a teaching assistant for the new Exwires, I would not have to worry about next month's rent, or even the month after. Hell, I could even treat myself to a good dinner every night with that pay.
My stomach grumbled at the thought.
"Guess I'll be having instant ramen again tonight," I grumbled, rubbing my fingers against my cheek. "Seriously, I think all that junk food is making me ugly."
My eyes trailed around the now empty classroom, most of the students are probably either going home or cram school now. I guess I should send this letter to Mephisto and go back to my apartment. As I began to pack my bags, just then, glanced out of the window and to my surprise, there were Coal Tars everywhere.
I gasped. Those little black creatures filled the sky.
"What's going on?" I muttered to myself. It was faint, but I could sense a familiar demonic aura.
Could it be….?
Immediately I dialed Father Fujimoto's number. I waited for him to pick up, but after a few rings, he still didn't. I left him a message and decided that I should check things out myself.
A rise in demonic activity such this could only mean one thing— a strong demon was on the loose, possibly causing some sort of rampage. Though I was off my exorcist duties today, I couldn't help but want to investigate. With curiosity getting the better of me, I rushed back to my apartment (which was thankfully) not too far away from True Cross Academy to get my exorcist gear. As I got out of the school building, I realised the severity of the situation. The Coal Tars had engulfed the entire school area.
It took me a while, but eventually I reached my room and retrieved my Tantos which were stashed under my bed. I did not bother wearing my exorcist coat considering I was off duty and also because it has been terribly hot for the past few days. Strapping both my Tantos onto my belt over my school uniform, I could feel the adrenaline pumping into my veins. It has been a while since I drew these swords.
With that, I left my apartment and out to the streets. Looking around, my gaze landed on a particular area of the town, not too far away from here, where the Coal tars were so concentrated that they reached up to the sky.
Bingo.
It took me about a good 10 minutes dash before I reached the source. My feet had brought me to some deserted alley. Even from afar, I could sense an overwhelming demonic power. Whatever was in there, wasn't any small fry—I could tell. I had to be prepared, or I'll just be running to my death. I had a few bottles of grade A holy water strapped against my belt. But I doubt they'll do much against a demon like this.
Slowly and quietly, I made my way inside. Both my hands were on the hilts of my blades.
As I got closer, after making a few turns inside, I heard voices followed by some grunts. My feet brought me to an open area, where there were a few boys surrounding familiar boy—
The brunette boy was pushed down onto his knees by some delinquents.
Wait. Is that Rin?
My eyes widened as I realized that it really was him. His face was twisted in pain and he had one arm clutching his stomach.
Were they bullying him? I have to stop them…!
Without a second thought I said, "Stop it!"
My voice pierced the silence in the air and immediately all eyes were on me.
"Huhhh? What do you want, girl?" One of the delinquents sneered.
"Let him go. NOW." I said, more sternly this time.
"Bitch, you should leave unless you wanna get hurt."
"I should say the same to you, you fucktards." I growled, earning glares from them.
Rin merely looked at me wide eyed, as if I've grown another head. He shook his head lightly but dared not say anything.
Just then the grey haired boy stepped out towards me. His gaze drifted between my face and my blades.
I wasn't certain before, but I am now—that the strong aura from before was emitted by this boy. He was being possessed by a strong demon. His bloodshot eyes and dilated pupils confirms my suspicions.
The boy then said, "Hold him down. Make sure he doesn't escape. I'll deal with her."
"W-wait...you're going to fight a girl?" One of his lackeys said, mouth wide open.
The possessed alpha male smirked as he walked towards me. "Trust me. She's no ordinary girl."
Everything happened so fast. The next thing I knew, I was slammed against the wall with my arms pinned up above my head. Air was knocked out my lungs. As I desperately gasped for air, a waft of bad breath invaded my nostrils. I gagged.
"I suppose you know what I am?" His face was so close to mine and the tone of his voice was almost seductive. I felt myself blush.
"It's obvious from all the Coal tars that some demon lord is running lose. And of course, your breath smells as bad as ever. But I'd never expected it to be you, Astharoth. So what made you come all the way to Assiah?" I said with a smirk.
"I'd thought you'd remember me. Well, I'm here to retrieve my young master. Father wants him back in Gehanna."
"I'm afraid I can't allow that. I'm supposed to babysit him. So if you want to take him away, you will have to kill me first." I lied about babysitting him. But there was no way I'm letting him take Rin away.
"I see you haven't changed. As stubborn as always, my little Kaira~" he said in a sickening sweet tone.
"It'll be a shame if you die now. After all, there aren't many of your kind left." He said, his hand running through my silver locks. "To be honest. If I recall correctly, you're the last female of your bloodline. It's a shame that your rare blood is tainted by a human's."
"Shut up. I don't know what you're talking about."
One of his hands trailed up from my shoulders to my neck, as if searching for something. His hand stopped at the base of the back of my neck.
"Ah there it is. A demon seal. No wonder I can't sense your presence before….I can destroy that seal, you know and everyone will see how ugly you really are."
The tip of his nail dug into my neck.
But before he could pierce the skin, I drew my blade and pushed him off me. He stumbled for a moment.
"Leave that poor kid and fight in your true form." I said, pointing the tip of my blade between his eyes.
"Unfortunately I've become attached to this vessel. I don't want to give it up that quickly." He said as his eyes gleamed red. Ram horns protruded from his temples and his hands turned into claws.
I clicked my tongue in irritation.
"Hey. You punks!" I called out. But my eyes never left Astaroth.
"Ehh…..?" The boys were dumbfounded. Not that I blamed them.
"Release the boy and leave this place. Or I'll kill all of you."
"No don't let him go!" Astaroth growled.
"B-but, Shiratori….if we don't. ….."
I placed my second blade against his neck.
"If he dies, you die." I said, with a smirk on his face.
"You won't kill him." His grin grew wider, as if taunting me.
"How would you know?" I asked, smirking. "I wouldn't mind making the boy a sacrifice if I could kill a Demon Prince."
"Your pretty little lies aren't enough to fool me, you whore."
A flash of anger passed my eyes. "You do know that I could decapitate you anytime now? Know your place."
He growled.
Before I could retort, just then, all of a sudden, there was a burst of blue flames, and I was thrown against Astharoth. My blades slipped from his neck.
Barely recovered, I screamed for Rin to run away.
However, Rin was still dumbfounded of what had just transpired. Captivated by the blue flames in his palms, he failed to notice Astaroth approaching him.
"Oh….? The blue flames are the proof of Satan's offspring. So I wasn't mistaken after all…" The demon let out a deep, cruel laugh. He extended a hand to the younger male. "My name is Astharoth. Shall I take you with me, young master? Lord Satan is waiting for you—
"Shut up….! Rin, just run! I can't hold him back much longer…!"
As if broken out of a trance, he quickly made a mad dash out of the alley.
Astaroth's actions were immediate, as he pushed the blades away with his claws. Blood spilled from his palms. I swung my blade at him, but he easily deflected the attack with his claw. I thrust again. This time, the blade nicked the side of his torso and drew blood. He evaded a few more slashes before he broke into a run.
"Come back here!" I growled as I ran after the demon, only to be stopped by the sudden appearance of a figure before me. Clothed in a black robe, the man also had grey hair.
"Fujimoto-san!"
"Hey, kid. I'll take care of this guy. Do you mind going after Rin? He's probably wetting himself right now." The Priest said coolly.
I snorted. "Leave it to me…! Be careful, the boy is being possessed by Astaroth. "
"Got it. Bring him to a safe place!"
I sheathed both my blades and ran out of the alley. Surprisingly Astaroth did not stop me. With adrenaline pumping through my veins, I ran down the street in search of a boy in a blue hoodie. It took me a while, but eventually, I caught sight of him not far away. He was panting with his hand on his chest. Another hand was against the brick wall, trying to support himself. I could tell from afar that his legs were trembling.
Not surprising, considering what he had just been through.
"Rin.…!" I called out, startling him.
He whipped his head around to see me, eyes wide with fear. "Who are you?! What do you want…?!"
"I need to get you somewhere safe before the demons come after you. Come on..!" I said, grabbing his arm, leading him into an alley. He was hesitant to follow at first, but soon later, he's running after me.
"W-what do you mean by demons?"
"I'll explain it to you later. For now, just run. Something is chasing us."
He made a wrong move to turn around to look because, the next thing he knew, he crashed into a garbage bin.
"Damnit. Get up!" I dashed in front of him, whipping my blades at the Naberius which was following us. The horrible stench from the corpse soon invaded my nostrils, causing me to gag. As the dead dog charged, I rushed forward, slicing it apart. But soon one came after another and I continuously had to put them down.
Tch. These small fries were starting to annoy me. It wasn't surprising, considering they were all drawn to Rin's newly awakened powers.
I released a small burst of demonic energy and sprang forward, killing all of them at a blink of an eye.
"Rin, let's go…!" I said, pulling his wrist and dragging him all the way till we reached the monastery. We came across a few demons, but eventually we managed to get there unharmed.
"Paladin Fujimoto is on the way…! Put up the protective barriers and douse the sewers with holy water! The demons are coming…!" I ordered the rest of the exorcists outside the monastery. They all obliged without question. I then turned to face Rin who was sitting on the ground, bewildered with the whole situation. I wouldn't blame him. Anyone would be shocked if they were assaulted by things which were supposed to exist only in myths and legends.
I extended my hand out to him. With a smile, I said, "Let's get you inside shall we?"
Different emotions flashed across his eyes at once. Confusion soon turned into anger.
Slapping my hand away, he then shouted at me, "W-WHO ARE YOU…?! WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE…?! I-I don't know what's going on anymore…."
His voice trailed off. His head hung low, refusing to meet my eyes.
I knelt down in front of him. "Rin Okumura," I said.
Hesitantly, he looked up to meet my gaze. I reached out for his hand and rubbed circles over his palm, trying to sooth him. His sapphire eyes widened in recognition. I used to do this to calm him down when he was younger. He couldn't get along very well with the other children and from time to time he would get into fights. It was difficult to calm him down when he was angry—I guess it is because of his demon blood. Most demons have a trait for being hot blooded and violent.
Rin used to be really close to me. Whenever Fujimoto has to go on missions or train Yukio, I would babysit Rin. I would tell him stories and play with him all the time. Sometimes we would even take naps together.
"You're…!"
"Do you remember…? I took care of you when you were a small boy," I said, with a small chuckle. "It's been many years now and I didn't think you would remember. But I'm glad you did."
His shoulders relaxed a little but his fingers still trembled in my hand.
"I don't remember much…just a little…," His voice trailed off for a moment. Just then, his hand flew to grasp my wrist in a tight hold. "But of all times….WHY NOW?! You and dad, both of you were hiding this from me, weren't you….?!"
"Rin…"
"Stop calling my name…! I barely even know you—
Just then, shrieks pierced the air. Dozens of demons were trying to break through the barrier, only to be repelled back by a force. This wasn't good. Swarms of demons were coming this way and there is no way the barrier is going hold all of them off.iHHd
I pursed my lips. There was nothing I could do now but await for the Paladin's orders. Myself, alone could never take down that many demons at once.
Immediately, I pulled Rin up. "Get inside. It's not safe outside anymore. The demons could break the barrier anytime soon."
Reluctantly he obeyed and followed me inside.
"These demons are after me, aren't they? But why…..?"
I understood the severity of the situation but still, it was not my place to answer this question. Only Paladin Fujimoto could tell him the truth—that he was the son of Satan. I could only imagine how he would react to this.
A frown made its way to my face as I clutched the hilt of my sword tightly.
Those questions were left unanswered until Fujimoto got back.
The banging against the door got louder and louder. I cringe whenever I hear Rin's shouting. It was for his best, I kept telling myself. We just have to keep him in a safe place until we get rid of Astharoth.
Fujimoto had locked Rin in a small room, as we prepared to fight against the demons.
I bit my finger, drawing blood on a small tattoo on my wrist. "Inugami," I called out my familiar. The whole room engulfed with white smoke. Soon, a dog spirit became visible as it glided around the air. Its semi-transparent body was circular and almost about fifty foot long, resembling the body of a giant snake or dragon. With the head of a dog, it bore dark crimson eyes and rows of sharp teeth, looking as vicious as always.
"Looks like your little pup is ready," Fujimoto said, forcing out a grin.
"I bet he is. Right, Inugami?" I asked, looking up to him as he flew around.
He responded with a loud howl which echoed throughout the room.
"Blood thirsty as always," Fujimoto said.
Before I could say anything, a loud crash resounded outside and a split second later, the front doors of the monastery fell over with a loud tremor. Astharoth had rammed the truck he was driving through the gates and now the doors. The barrier keeping the demons back had been broken and now the demons were pouring in.
"Inugami, I'll deal with the King. You take out the rest of the demons. Make sure they don't get inside." I said, flicking my wrist at him. He growled in response, baring his fangs. With incredible speed, he shot forward, past Astharoth and out of the building.
"Stupid mutt." The demon growled.
Though Inugami could stop the demons from entering through the broken barrier, there was no stopping the demonic fungi which were growing rapidly around Astharoth.
He then turned to face me and Fujimoto. "Hand over the young master now…..!"
"We'll never hand him over to the like of you….!" Fujimoto roared, sprinting ahead.
I followed in suit, drawing both my tantos once more. The mark on my neck started to heat up and I felt a surge of energy to my limbs. When I got close enough, I sprang forward and slashed at the demon. He dodged it and disappeared, before reappearing behind me.
I spun around to parry his attack. His claws had an iron grip on my blades. Considering he was a demon king, his strength was unimaginable and it didn't take long for him to push me down to my knees. My hands trembled as he continues to press the blades down.
Sweat trailed down my forehead and my face started to grew warm. I barely had any strength left and my muscles were aching. My eyes darted left and then right. The rest of the exorcists were preoccupied with the rest of the demons to even spare a glance at me.
"Aww what's wrong….? Giving up already…?" He sneered.
Just then, gun shots rang the air and Astharoth staggered after having shot multiple times. Taking this opportunity, I kicked out his legs causing him to falter back. My weapon was released and I quickly got to my feet. But before I could attack, I was thrown onto the ground. Head colliding with the hardwood floor, I was in daze. His claw dove down and penetrated through my abdomen. Blood spilled and I found myself paralyzed on the ground.
"Well this is disappointing. I thought you would put up much more of a fight, Kaira. But I guess, it's too late now. You're dead—
Before he could finish his words, a pitch fork zipped through the air and penetrated him, knocking him down to the ground.
"Like I said, we are not done talking yet, you old fart!" Rin shouted at Fujimoto. So he was the one who threw the pitch fork.
Not bad Rin.
I tried to smile. But the pain in my stomach reminded me of the severity of my wound. Even with my healing abilities, this wound would take hours if not a few days to completely heal. Right now, I can't even move my body.
Fujimoto by now had completed reciting the fatal verse. With a loud cry, the demon finally left the boy's body. The priest then proceeded to give instructions to the rest of the exorcists before giving me a look. I gave him a reassuring smile and a weak nod.
"Rin, we have to get you into hiding now. It's not safe here." Fujimoto said.
"Wait. But shouldn't you take care of Kaira first…?!"
"The rest of the exorcists will bring her to the hospital. Right now our first and only priority is to get you into hiding. Don't ever forget that it's YOU that demons are coming after, Rin."
"Is that right?" Rin's voice grew bitter. "So what you're saying is that everything will be fine if I'm gone."
"No, Rin!"
"Fine. I'll be happy to leave. You'll feel a lot better if I did anyways."
"Rin….!"
"LET GO…! You're the one who wants to kick me out of here. You don't have to tell me that I'm the screwed up son! Actually, we're not actually related! So I'm the screwed up STRANGER, right?!"
"Stop it!"
"Come on, why don't you admit it…?! You're just sick and tired of pretending to be my family. Or is it against your religion to say something like that? OR WAIT. Do you want to play one last time as the perfect dad?! Give me a break. You're not my father. You're nobody to me. Don't ever let me see you acting like my father ever again—
Rin was cut short by a slap on the face. At least, that's what I thought I heard.
There was a silent pause for a moment.
That was, until Fujimoto broke it. "It'll be morning soon. Go get your things."
"….yeah…..okay…" Rin said in a low whisper.
No matter how much I craned my neck, I still can't see what was happening. I wanted to say something, but the words were caught in my throat. The bleeding had stopped. However, the agonizing pain in my abdomen has yet to reside.
All of a sudden, I heard a loud thud, following a groan from Fujimoto.
"….Old man….?"
"Father Fujimoto….?!" I called.
"Don't you dare come a step closer….!" Fujimoto shouted for all of us to hear.
What's happening….?
I knew something was amiss. Despite the pain, I forced myself to my knees to take a good look. Fujimoto was on his knees and his hand was clutching his chest.
All of the lights exploded suddenly, leaving us in a shroud of darkness.
"….hahah,…hhahaahahhahhahaha…..! At long last, I've claimed this body as my own…!" A new, sinister voice had replaced Fujimoto's.
My eyes widened in realization.
Shit. No….!This can't be happening…!
"Everyone get away…! He's been possessed by Satan…!" I screamed. "Get away from him, Rin…!"
The possessed Fujimoto looked up to see the boy, with a Cheshire grin spread across his lips. "Well, finally we meet, my dear son…Hhahahahahahhahaha…..!"
As if on cue, bright blue flames burst out of his body. His shoulders shook as he roared with laughter.
Rin fell back in shock, as he stared wide eyed at the man. Fujimoto's teeth became fangs, pupils became slits and his tongue became abnormally long. His ears also became pointed. He was fully possessed by the king of hell.
"Hey there, son! Doin' good?" He pointed at pale faced Rin. "That's right, the man himself has come all the way out here just to see his cute little boy! So look happy about it…!"
"Y-You're a demon…." Rin whispered.
I could tell that the boy was scared out of his wits. He was frozen on the ground and wasn't moving anytime soon.
"The name's Satan….God of demons and your one and only father. You can call me 'papa' if you like! Gyahahahhaha…!"
"Now then….I'd really like to stick around and savor this touching reunion…..but I'm thinking this guy's body isn't going to last too long, you know?"
Just then, the demon ripped out Fujimoto's fingers, earning a gasp from me and Rin. His gaze travelled down to me, possibly only realizing that I was here now. Grin widening, he waved his bloodied hand at me.
"Why hello there. I didn't notice you there." He said. Blood poured down from his wound to the wooden floorboards.
I cringed, when some of the blood splattered on my face.
"Bet you haven't eaten in a long time, huh? Here. You can chew on his fingers if you like…."
Upon hearing those words, I narrowed my eyes at him. "Don't fuck with me." I screamed.
"Why are you mad? I'm just offering you some food. You can't starve yourself just because you're trying to play human, you know?"
"It's none of your damn business. Now get the fuck out of Father!"
He shook his head and chuckled in response. "You can't stop me."
A sickening crack resounded through the whole room and more blood poured out of his digits.
Something in my head clicked and I realized what he was doing. "No you don't….!" I screamed.
In a flash, I sprang up to my feet and was charging towards him. But before I could slash him, blue flames engulfed my body, searing me.
"AHHHHHHHH…!" I cried out, dropping both my weapons and falling to my knees. So this was the power that reigned over Gehannna. I'd never thought I would ever encounter such power. But as I thought, I was no match for it.
Still, I wasn't about to go down without a fight.
I had to protect Rin. That was what I swore I would do….
Flashback
12 years ago
"They're both adorable, aren't they…?"
"Why do I have to babysit them…?! I'd rather be out hunting!" I said, with a displeased look on my face.
"I noticed your movements have become sluggish as of recent. You're overworking yourself. Look, even your shoulders are tense!" Fujimoto said, with a laugh as he ruffled my hair.
"I'm perfectly fine!"
"No you should take this week off….and let's not think of this as a break. Think of this as a task from me. I want you to protect and care for these two boys while I'm away."
I crossed my arms, glaring at the priest.
He let out a long sigh. "Look…..I'll teach you how to strengthen your familiar with a summoning technique when I get back. How does that sound?"
"Hmmm…." I placed my thumb on my lips, looking thoughtful. "You owe me some food too."
"…What…?! You've been eating out of our fridge for weeks now…Isn't that enough..?"
My glare on him intensified.
"F-Fine fine. I'll cook a good meal for everyone when I get back."
I let out a small giggle. "That's good enough…Now….."
My gaze wondered around the room to see twin boys playing with some stuffed animals.
"Rawr…!"
"…ahhhh! Owwwww….that hurts..!"
"Rawr rawr….!"
I turned to Fujimoto and asked him, "What are their names…?"
"The one with the tiger plush toy is Rin. The other is Yukio. Please be patient with them. They can get out of control sometimes, especially the older one." He said, nodding at the boy.
"RAWRRRR…!" Rin shouted as he threw the toy to Yukio's face, causing him to cry.
Oh no…
While Yukio wailed, the other twin continued picking up other toys and scattering them around all over the room.
Sweat trailed down my forehead, while Fujimoto merely laughed nervously. I have absolutely no experience in taking care of children. Something in the back of my mind told me that this wouldn't end well.
With a sigh, I walked over to Yukio and knelt down in front of him. Immediately, he looked up at me questioningly with his tears still pouring. Placing my hand on his puffy cheeks, I wiped his tears away with my thumb.
"Yukio…come on don't cry. You're a big boy, right?" I asked with my hands on his shoulders.
Slowly, he nodded.
"Big boys are tough and cool…They don't cry," I said, smiling.
"Y-Yeah. I-I'm tough…..and I'm cool." The little boy said, wiping his tears away with the back of his hand, as if he was embarrassed.
"That's good, Yukio. You're going to grow up as a fine man."
Blushing, he then went back to playing with his toy train.
My gaze then met Rin's. The next thing I knew, I was hit by a piece of lego square on the forehead. I tried not to curse in front of the children. Rubbing the sore spot, I knew it was going to leave a mark. I then glared at the older boy and he responded by sticking his tongue out at me.
"So you're the naughty one," I said as I ran after him. He laughed as I chased him around the room. Finally after a while, he got tired and his running came to a slow. Taking this opportunity, I swooped down to grab him and tickled him.
"This is payback…!" I said. Rin laughed uncontrollably and soon, I found myself laughing as well.
When I finally let him go, he gave me a pout.
"Can we play again?" He asked nicely, with a bright, cheerful smile on his face.
The smile which adorned his face was something that I could never forget. The more time I spent with the boys, the more I became drawn to them. After learning truth about Rin and Yukio's origin, I became more protective over them.
When the time comes, I knew one day that Satan might take Rin away.
"I just can't believe that day is today," I whispered to myself.
Gritting my teeth, I dragged my fingernail over the seal on back of my neck, just enough to draw blood. Immediately I felt a surge of energy within me. Whatever burns and wounds I had before immediately closed up and healed. My hands turned into sharp red claws which were as long as lances. The rest of my body remained unchanged. With the seal acting as a limiter to my powers, I could not complete my transformation.
"Oh hoh…! What a surprise….! You are a true demon after all." Satan crackled with laughter.
A soft growl escaped my lips.
His insidious grin merely widened as he started to spout strange words that I couldn't understand. He was casting some sort of spell.
I dashed forward to slash him with my claws. He dodged the first few strikes. Occasionally he would throw huge fireballs at me. Easily, with superior speed, I dodged them. When I went close enough, he would create a wall of flames to protect himself.
"What are you waiting for…? Are ya' hesitating?" He sneered.
I gritted my teeth.
"Someone with your caliber would be able to defeat me in this form. But you're scared aren't ya'? Too scared to butcher this old pops?"
Truth to be told, I was trying to buy some time. At least enough time for backup to come. Unfortunately, considering my demon heritage, I wasn't able to recite or even read any parts of the bible. The only way to cast Satan out of Fujimoto is by performing an exorcism that only high level Aria exorcists knew.
Without an Aria here, the only way to stop him was to kill the Host, in this case its Fujimoto.
My claws trembled.
"You can't kill this old man, can you…?! Haahahahahahahahhahahahah…!"
On cue, a whirlwind of flames engulfed me. My claws blocked the flames just enough to protect myself. The rest of the room was turned into nothing but ashes.
My gaze shifted from the demon to Rin. I've never seen him this upset before. His eyes were pleading me—pleading me not kill his beloved father.
Another blast of flames was sent my way and once again, I blocked it.
"Awww….I'm getting tired of playing with ya'. It's time me and sonny boy 'ere go home to spend some quality time together. We have a lot of things to catch up on, right sonny?" The demon laughed. "I'm the only demon that could create this, the Gehenna Gate..!"
Before both me and Rin, the gate to the other world was opened on the ground.
"Now then, let's go. Gehenna's waiting...Oh wait. I have to destroy this, first…I'll release you from this irritating curse…!" He picked up Rin's sword, Kurikara and approached Rin. He grabbed him by the arm and proceeded to drag him towards the gate.
Frozen in place, I only stared.
"It's time for you to regain your true power as a demon!"
"Fuck off…!" Rin snarled and two small floating blue flames appeared above his head.
"Pffft….hahhaahha..! What do you call that?! Did you just piss your pants or something?! HAHAAHAHA!"
As I watched Satan berates Rin, my heart clenched. I bit my lip till I drew blood. They were already at the edge of gate and Rin's attempts to struggle were futile. Just one more push and Rin will be thrown into Gehanna.
I can't watch this…
"I'm sorry, Rin. Please forgive me." I said as I extended my claws and drove them into Fujimoto's chest.
