1Chapter 1
Back To The Rootings
Everywhere around the building blue flames were visible. A few people ran panicking into the nearby forest. Screams were heard, there were so many, it could not assign from where they came from or from whom. Between the many dimensions of screaming people was a little girl sitting on the ground. Desperate, she crouched to avoid being trampled to death. In her head she could not assign more. Only one picture was in her mind. The picture of her loving parents who just went up in blue flames. Flames, blue flames came from all over their bodys and then blood. She grabbed her head howling and pulled her hair, she just wanted to forget. After a short time she tried to grasp herself and ventured a glance around her. Around her, the people still struggling to find a way out of the fire. She couldn't hope anymore, that her parents will come, take her hand, and got away with her together. Her parents were dead, there was no doubt. When she saw them on the floor bleeding to death slowly, she wanted to escape. She just get out of the house and now she is sitting on the cold street on the outside. Tears ran down her face and her vision began to blur. More, more, more, until she finally saw nothing.
Bathed in sweat, Masa woke up in her bed. Actually it was this dream again, she already had this dream a thousend times before. Exhausted, she rose from her bed and stretched herself vigorously. Her limbs ached from the last working day. An incredibly stubborn demon had thrown against a wall just yesterday. That was not very pleasant. Like every day when she woke up with this pain, she wondered why she had taken that job. Exorcists were paid pretty well, no question, but nevertheless it was a hard and dirty job. After she had once stretched her limbs and brought everthing into shape again, she made her way to her wardrobe. She sighed as she looked inside and saw the uniform of a chore for exorcists. She had these uniforms for over a year now and she had not even worn her in one order. Solemnly they had handed her out to her exorcists conclusion and Masas enthusiasm was also really limited. Since then they hang up in the closet and bums as if to himself. Several complaints in this regard, she had already received, but she did not care. Masa rather preferred her own clothes. This consisted a brown sleeveless vest, a pink top with black shorts free belly and brown boots. She had to admit, that she is probably the best dresses exorcist in the whole town. Although this was not very difficult, because all the other girls are dressed with this strange uniforms. After she had enough thought about her outfit, she got dressed. As already suggested, she had in fact a couple of orders on her phone she had to do today. She arranged them always of importance, what seemed most important was the first mission of the day. Today the first case was clear, a child was pulled by a demon in an old rickety tower. With great haste, she downloaded the residence of the mission. While she was doing this she already grabbed her things together. Her most important items she had with herself everytime at all, was her exorcism identification, her supporters and last but not least her weapons. After the plan was finally downloaded, she started her journey.
She quickly left her studio in the city center in order to make way for the mission. A quick response was used to it, eventually she had to be quick on the scene in all her orders. The city was still very empty, hardly a man was seen on the streets. Well this was not surprising, because it was very early in the morning. About 5 clock. This time was very good for missions, because you could very quickly by foot. Finally, there was no car on the main road and you could walk on it. After a quick sprint, she arrived at the dilapidated building. A small crowd was already standing in front and they seemed to expect her. Masa hurriedly ran to them and pulled out her passport Exorcist. "Good day, Masa, exorcist. I was called about a boy from the building to pick up. Is he still in there? "She greeted the crowd. A man with a howling woman in his arm spoke up: "Yes, the demon is still inside the house.. We are deeply worried about our son please help him," The child's parents seemed to be really desperate, but that was no surprise. Each parent would be afraid in such a situation. Without adding anything Masa went toward the high-rise. Somewhere in the building the demon must be she had to find the demon with the child and she had to find the two as quickly as possible.
With drawn weapons, she entered the building and looked in all directions. She carefully considered her surroundings while she penetrated deeper into the skyscraper. When she arrived at the 3rd floor, she heard a loud wailing of a child. With slow steps, and sharpened senses she followed the sound. Now was the howling child dangerously close and she knew it was around the next corner. With a skillful train she scurried around the corner and pulled out her gun. But the only one on which she aimed on was the little boy howling. Amazed about the situation, Masa lowered her gun and looked around herself one last time. After she had inspected the area with a stern look she put away her weapon and walked toward the boy. "Do not worry anymore, I'm here to bring you back again to Mom and Dad. You don't have to feel fear any longer, "she whispered in his direction as she ran to him. She was only a few steps away from him. Suddenly, something broke through the wall right next to her and the demon showed hisself. He ramned her with full force and so she flew across the room and eventually crashed hard against the broken wall of the house. Due to the advanced age of the house she broke through the wall by the enormous impact and Masa was eventually suspended from the outer wall. Below was horrified the screams to hear of the people. This rookie mistakes really happened to her every time, even after a year in which she was now in service. She just felt too self-confident. Now that the dust cloud, which had previously been formed around her, had disappeared, she hauled themselves up the wall again. Right after she again felt solid ground beneath her, she brandished her weapons in order to be ready to fire. The demon was never seen at the moment and the child seemed to be away too. Most likely he had taken it with hisself. One floor above, she took steps and she was sure it could be just the two. Quick as a flash she ran to the next floor and there was even the demon, compared with the child in his arms. Straining Masa thougjt about a tactic where she could wrest the child away from him and then to fire at him. Suddenly she noticed a metal pole that was located over the demon. In no time Masa had the required plan. Convinced she pocketed her weapon, this seemed to irritate the demon. The next moment she sprinted toward him. While she did this, the demon was ready to fight. Only a few inches in front of him she made a leap into the air. With full force, she seized the pole, took momentum and gave a kick to the demon in his belly. Brought by stepping out of the socket, he dropped the child. Masa started quickly on it, pulled out her gun and missed the fatal shot to the demon. Satisfied with the child in her arms Masa want to the exit.
On the outside, they already anticipated some people and especially the wailing woman. Carinate she put the child on the floor, it immediately ran into the arms of his mother. After they stayed a few minutes holding eachother in her arms, she went to Masa, which followed the scene with a cheery smile. The whole family bowed politely to her and the mother finally said, "Thank you, that you saved our child from this beast we were so afraid of him." Masa waved and replied: "Oh no problem I mean, the is my job. Finally, I am exorcist and it is my job to fight demons. "One last time, the family bowed before her and then finally left the square in front of the building. The supporters who had watched the spectacle with also followed them. Facilitates Masa sat down on a fallen stone in front of the building. These were the moments when she remembered why she had become an Exorcist. The radiant smiles of parents, while holding her child back into the closed arms. However, this picture also gave her much pain. It was long time ago that her parents had absorbed her in their arms. While she sat there pensively her phone rang. Somewhat startled by the tone that she took it out and took off: "Here Masa, which is now available again to do Kyle?" The man at the other end of the phone told her, "I'm sorry Masa. But somehow, today once again all hell breaks loose. In the truest sense of the word. Throughout those pesky demons. In any case, you have to went to your old school. The director and some teachers are on a development and a demon, had to show up there. The people there need a helping hand." Masa set the phone without answering. What should she even answer? She had to go there, no matter if she wants or not. It was not like she had bad memories of this place, but she was disappointed that the director, Mephisto, was not present. Reluctantly she admitted it was a self that she had been looking forward to seeing him again. Finally, she had spent many happy years together with him. Now Masas thoughts went back to her work. On the way to her old school, she already made her weapons ready to fire. Finally, she was a Dragon specialist. Exorcists were divided into different groups and Masa had decided to become a Dragon. People who specializes in Dragon, fought in principle with firearms or guns, as she did it in the battle with the demon before.
After a short walk Masa had reached the school. The school grounds appeared huge in front of her. It was all still so familiar, like she just visited this school yesterday. Revered she entered the huge hall of the school. She could already hear some shots and screams. With quick steps, she took the stairs of the hall behind herself and walked into the schoolyard. It did not take long till she saw the demon, because he already piled out big on the court. Today was really not her day. These things, they seemed to follow her everywhere. Around him were already several exorcists and tried to distribute him. One of them she recognized immediately. His name was Yukio and he was a few years under her class when she wents to school one year ago. Meanwhile, he had probably also have become an exorcist. She was just getting comfortable on the scene, because she already knew that the demon hadn't a higher rank, but then he grabbed a student. Now she had to react very quickly. Quick as a flash she jumped on the back of a student, whom she previously only from behind, and pulled out her weapons. She shot the demon on his hand, that he dropped the girl. This girl immediately frightened fled to her friends. Now Masa joined in the round of the already struggling exorcists. It was just a nod to each other. Yukio cleared up on the current situation: "We do not really know how it could appear here. It has a medium rank, I guess, but somehow here it is preparing more trouble than we first thought especially because it often grabs the students!" Masa nods, that he could know that she understand the situation. Now Masa turned back to the demon that was still raging on the fountain in the school. If she had learned one thing, then it was that a person should never simply go out to shoot, you should always find the weaknesses of the opponent first. Concentrated she analyzed the body of the demon and every move he did. It quickly became clear to her where his body was weak. It was clearly his belly, because before this he raised his hands protectively few times before it. Masa just wanted to give him the last fatall bullet when a voice appeared. "Eins, zwei, drei." Masa just knews this words very well and she already knews to which person they belong to. So it was really worth it to come over here. Self-Satisfied, she sat down at the edge of the fountain, while all the the other exorcists horror noticed that the demon was gone, and now the the headmaster of the school on the fountain appeared. Mephisto was such a drama queen. Mephisto Pheles was his name and Masa had known him since she was two years old. His flashy fashion style made him easily unmistakable , but he's always been like that. "No more worries about this students, you can now go back to class calm, the situation is back to normal. The teachers and I are now all back, "he cried proudly over the place. Facilitates the students left the square and some exorcists. Only Yukio, Mephisto and Masa were left at the end. With a stylish jump, Mephisto was able to sit right next to Masa. Self-Satisfied, he smiled at her and greeted her cheerfully: "We haven't seen eachother a long time my child you should visit your old man more often, you know?" Masa smiled at him happily and she finally fell into his arms. She simply had to admit, she had missed him terribly, in the recent years. Yukio observed the scene confused from a distance. Reluctantly, he wanted to interrupt this reunion, but he had to, "Mr. Pheles? I'm really sorry, and some colleagues, that we couldn't bring this situation under control before ... " He was interrupted by Mephisto, his raised hand signaled him to be silent. Smiling, as always, he looked at Yukio and thought, "Yukio we'll talk later about it, do not worry any more. I must first discuss something with my good friend here." Yukio bowed respectfully and left the court now too. Masa looked to Mephisto and smiled, while she crossed her hands over her chest. Before they also want to to leave the place Mephisto handled his huge hat. It was inconceivable for Masa, as he still was able to walk with that thing around here, without being ashamed of this.
On the way to Mephisto's office, they almost went through the whole school and one thing was clear, Mephisto's school was huge. Masa did well to go back to these halls. It awakened old memories in her. Really nothing had changed in the meantime, except for one or two things, but they were without any significance. When they finally arrived in Mephisto's office, they both sat down. Mephisto smiled at her, behind his large desk. He wanted any thing from her, because only then he looked at her with that look. "Okay, Mephisto. What do you want? Say it right now. "she sighed out while she sank into the chair in front of his desk. Mephisto grinned while he's answered her question: "So Masa, the first thing I must confess something. This demon, who has just been raging in the schoolyard, that was my fault, " now Masa was getting curious , " I just knew that I could not get to make you come over her without this little trick. I'm sorry for that." Annoyed, Masa began to groan again. That was so typical of him. Mephisto continued: "Well as you have already said, I have a favor to ask you. You've just seen this boy, Yukio was his name. I want you to train together with him. Although he is young, but I'm sure you can learn a lot from each other. "Skepticism and disbelief was Masa starring at him. Actually, she was sure, that Mephisto knews it, that she don't like it to work with other perons together, especially with a man. She had never been the type of group work or otherwise. Even if she once worked in a group, after a while she starts to give the tone. Quietly, she gave a contemptuous noise, and before she could bring her objections to him, Mephisto went on: "But that's not the only thing. What I now tell you is strictly confidential Masa. Yukio has a twin brother named Rin, and how shall I put it best. This Rin, he is the son of the devil." Horrified Masa jumped up from her chair and looked down to Mephisto. Nervously, she clenched her fists together. Everything that had to do with Satan, is like poisen for her. Finally, Satan had killed her family 15 years ago, in the blue night. She still don't know why her presents were killed in that night, because nobody of her perents were an exorcist or a priest. Mephisto was on course now and put his hands on her shoulders. "I know you only have bad memories of everything that has to do with Satan, but this kid is different and he wants to become an Exorcist to kill Satan. Trust him, and above all, trust me, "he whispered to Masa. Just with strong will Masa could bring her body back into normal and sits down again. Thoughtfully, she looked away and thought about how she should behave now.
On the one hand, she did not know whether she could bear the sight of this boy without having the wish to kill him, but on the other hand, it would be an exciting experience. "What exactly do I have to do with him?" she asked finally. Mephisto smiled, confident of victory, because he knew that she would do the job. "I want you to pull into the dorm where they both live and you should support Yukio a bit to take care of his brother. No one is allowed to see his blue flames or otherwise, that might betray him. "Again, Masa turned to the side and thought for a moment. It actually listened like an easy and simple job. Slowly she rose from her chair and stood directly in front of Mephisto to give him her answer: "Okay I'll do it, but let me tell you one thing. I have to live in this horrible dorm, i expect much pocet money my old man."" Excellent, "exclaimed Mephisto and swung his coat as he turned and sat at his desk. Masa was straight on the road to go when she turned around with a cracked smile to Mephisto and said:" "I know you, by the way, do not forget that. I know you want to knock out any benefit from that boys. You have been always used to get your advantage. That has not changed till now, I'm sure of it." With these words, she finally left the room and left a happy and slyly grinning Mephisto.
