I've written some form of crap for almost every other Manga I like so I thought I'd give Ao no exorcist a go.
Pausing on her way to her part time job Aurora Mizuka blinked slivery-ice blue eyes watching as her oldest friend and partial roommate grit his teeth. Looking between the 4 boys a little ways off the 16 year old winced as Rin Okumura snarled charging in, fists blazing. Locating the nearest gap in the chain link fence around the tiny park, white shoulder length teal highlighted hair flowed behind her as she sprinted trying to get to the brawl before anyone got too hurt. If Rin was fighting someone was going to bleed, weather it was him or the other guy was always up for grabs. Gripping her shoulder bag tighter the teen bit her lip as the boys scrambled by her almost throwing her off balance. The bluenette snorted clinching a bloodied fist. "Dammit what the hell am I doing?" Letting out a huff Aurora blew her bangs out of her pale face.
"Bleeding on the brand new jacket I just gave you." Yelping, Rin jolted having not realized she was there. Flipping the top of her black bag open she pulled out a hankie and some bandages. Old candy bars and chewing gun filled most of the space inside, with scattered Band-Aids and bandages thrown in. Squinting to get a better look, the girl sighed dabbing at the dribble dripping from his nose. "Honestly Hot-Head what am I going to do with you?" Looking away he mumbled under his breath. Pushing his hair away from the cut on his cheek she wiped the blood off before sticking a 'Hello Kitty' band aid over it. Turning sapphire eyes back when she was done being so close the boy grinned rubbing the back of his head.
"I guess I don't need to go back to my job… the whole delivery is kinda pointless now that the order is all over the ground." Following his gaze Aurora smacked her forehead. Even without looking she could smell the wasted food from across the street.
"Rin! Everyone at home was so proud of you too." Pulling her black jacket closer around herself the teen laughed. The bluenette made such a cute picture pouting and holding her 'My Little Pony' hankie under his nose. Rolling her eyes she grabbed his hand pulling him back the way she'd just came from. "Let's get you back home before you try to save some other animal."
Hanging her bag on the coat hanger by the door Aurora had just enough time to cover her ears before Rin sucked in a breathe. "We're ho~me!" Ducking into the room Yukio's light blue eyes twinkled.
"Nii-san what are you doing home so early?" Catching a flash of silver hair behind his older brother the younger twin frowned. "Aurora I thought you left for work already." Waving her hands in front of herself she sniggered.
"You know me; I'm always getting side tracked." Pushing his way past Yukio, Rin snorted.
"That's the understatement of the decade." Looking over his shoulder he grinned showing his teeth. "Do we have any food around? I'm starved." Sharing a look with the calmer twin she shrugged following after the bluenette. Watching Rin interact with Shiro and the other exorcists Aurora took her customary seat.
"So you found a job?" Blinking Rin stopped shoveling food into his mouth.
"Well I did but… I ruined it." The teen couldn't dodge the spoon that smacked him in the face.
"You've been fighting again! When are you going to learn to think with your head not your fists?!" Growling Rin clinched his hands having heard this same speech from Shiro many times before. "You can't keep doing this Rin. You know you can't stay here forever-" The stove hissed drawing Aurora's attention.
"'Course I know that. I'm not stupid!" Clearing her throat the girl rested her hand over Rin's squeezing lightly. The small stove beside her quieted down before anyone else besides Father Fujimoto noticed, he gave her a thankful smiled.
"There's an opening at the grocery store I work at. I asked the manager yesterday and she said Hot-Head could stop by today. I was going to tell you before I left for work…" Trailing off she realized she'd been on her way there when she'd seen Rin. Jumping up from her seat the silvery eyed female glanced at the clock behind Shiro. "Shit I'm gonna be late now!" Turning to run she tripped stumbling in to the stove. Hissing she jerked back feeling the burns already forming on her hands. Staring wide eyed at his hissing friend the bluenette snapped out of his shock when Yukio gently led the girl out of the room. Spinning to stop his brother from following the younger twin smiled hoping the calm Rin before the heater exploded again because the teal haired girl had been hurt.
"She's fine nii-san. Please just get ready for your interview." Gaping at the door that was shut in his face Rin snarled ignorant to the fact that blue flames licked the sides on the stove.
"Aurora…"
Shutting the door behind him more forcefully than he should have Yukio counted back from ten giving Aurora time to run cold water over her hands which emitted a soft glow as soon as the liquid touched them. Biting her lip she winced as her fang drew blood. "You have to be more careful Aurora." Drying her hands she let him stick bandages on them to keep up her appearance as a human. "The only reason Father and I have let you stay here is because you keep Rin calm. Don't make me regret it." Sighing she tucked her hair behind her pointed ear something she could only do while alone with Yukio or Shiro.
"I know, I'm sorry to be putting everyone out like this. But I am still part human, ya know. Demons have made a mess of my life too. If Rin wouldn't have bit me when we met I wouldn't even be able to see them let alone have my dormant demon blood surface. Then maybe my parents wouldn't be dead and- Ya know what never mind. I'm here for Rin and that's what matters." Turning on her heel she marched out the door nearly dumping into said bluenette as he muttered to himself wrapping a tie around his head. Trying to cover her mouth with her hand she giggled making the boy look up, a blush dusting his cheeks.
"S-Shut up! So I don't know how to tie a tie, big deal." Letting him fume silently the female smiled following behind him out into the front courtyard. "I'm going smart-casual." Shrugging she bumped his shoulder.
"I'm sure Yukio or Shiro can help you with that. Shiro's so old and Yukio knows just about everything." Hearing what she said Father Fujimoto wrapped an arm around her shoulders grinning after waving the little girl that had just left off.
"Watch it you or I get your share of Sukiyaki tonight. Yukio leaves tomorrow and hopefully little Rin here will get a job so we'll celebrate." Rin gave a fist pump.
"Yes it's been forever since we've had meat!" Frowning the exorcist's glasses gleamed as he tilted his head.
"What's with the suit? And where's the tie? Didn't know how to do it huh?" Holding his hand out the priest smirked. "Give it here I'll show you how." Fishing around in his pocket the bluenette grumbled handing it over. Waiting patiently while watching and remembering what his caretaker was doing Rin blinked hearing the old man sigh. "Where does all the time go? It was just yesterday that you and Aurora where running around here throwing mud pies at each other, but now look at you nearly grow and blossoming beautifully." Blushing Aurora pulled her jacket closed, it was a tab embarrassing being the only girl living with a bunch of men.
"Yea well of course we'd be adults by now…" Shiro gave a laugh.
"Adults? Where? I said nearly but not quite." Ruffling his hair the priest grinned. "If you don't like it show me you're grown." Readjusting his borrowed suit Rin glared.
"What's that supposed to mean, dumbass? Damn right I'll show you!" Grabbing Aurora's hand he pulled her behind him growling lowly to himself. Looking back over her shoulder the silver haired girl frowned flicking the Coal Tar away with her claws. Being at least part demon herself she didn't think anything about it but Shiro frowned rubbing his chin. Maybe it was time to check on Kurikara.
Sitting straight in the plastic little chair in the store manager's office Rin felt sweat run down his face. "So you don't have a high school diploma yet you still want a job?" Nodding his head he scratched his cheek.
"Yea I'm not much for school and stuff. Besides that's what I have Aurora for, she has enough brain power for the both of us." Tapping her chin the tiny woman thought for a second.
"I suppose I can give you a chance." Grinning he followed her out of the office towards a stack of boxes. "I need you to move all of these out front." Stopping he tilted his head back to see them all.
"Umm okay…" Bending down he hefted one stack into his arms jogging to the front and sitting them down, this continued until all the boxes but one where stacked then he tripped and dumped its sugary contents onto the brightly haired lady. "Sorry…" Grounding her teeth she pointed to the carts outside...
Biting her lip Aurora watched Rin slide down a nearby wall looking a bit depressed. Making sure the noodles she was cooking wouldn't burn while she was away the teen wondered over. "What's with the long face? The test runs not going so well?" She already knew it wasn't having enjoyed watching the bluenette run around like a chicken with its head cut off only moments before only to ruin that task too because he wouldn't slow down.
"I already knew I wasn't cut out for this job." Sliding down the wall beside him she dumped his shoulder.
"That's not true I have faith in you." Snapping her fingers she grinned pulling him up after her. "I know, you can help me cook. I suck at everything but baking and you rock at everything else kitchen related." Picking her up he spun around causing several customers to look at them funny. Sitting her down he ruffled her hair making her pout.
"Rory you're a genius!" Leaning on the wall to stop the store from swaying the girl smiled.
"I try." Shaking her head she showed him what she was doing. "I'm cooking them like the package says but they still suck." Scooping some up on a fork Rin tasted a little making a face soon afterwards.
"These noodles are supposed to be mixed with other stuff to taste good." Thinking for a second he rushed off returning with squid flacks and a sour smelling sauce. Scanning the instructions quickly he held his hand out for the hair clip she always carried for him. Fishing in her pocket the silver haired girl handed it to him loving the way he always looked happy when he was cooking.
"Do you think the boss would get mad if I used these?" Shrugging Aurora tied her hair up into what little pony tail it would make.
"She shouldn't mind as long as the noodles sell. Now what can I do master chef?"
"Oh these are delicious!" Absent mindedly turning the noodles over Rin nodded.
"It's the squid flacks that really bring out the flavor." Another woman gushed after trying the sample.
"I'm buying this! My husband will love it." Having kept an eye on the bluenette all day the manager waddled over shaking her head.
"By here by 8 tomorrow morning for orientation." Blinking the teen whooped before remembering he was trying to make a good impression. Handing the spatula to Aurora he excused himself to call home to share the good news. Taking over his place the girl smiled.
'I knew you could do it.' But like all good things, lately it seemed, it had to come to an end. A small Goblin dashed by carrying a pink scarf, the hair on the back of her neck stood up. She should've sensed it sooner! "Um excuse me for a second." Hurrying after it she slid to a stop as Rin ran past; tracking its movements with her eyes the female sprinted the other way meeting it as the tiny demon danced about on a pile of boxes. The uneven motions knocked the boxes over right on top of a little girl, thinking fast Aurora covered her, hissing as the cans bounced off her back. Staying curled around the kid she winced as the bluenette shoved the cans and boxes away. Finally finding her, Rin visibly slumped pulling the teal haired girl into his arms to see what damage had been done. Jerking away when the boy ran his hand down her back the silvery eyed girl cried out. Pushing her way through the giant mess the goblin had made the manager gritted her teeth.
"You're both fired! I can't have two irresponsible teenagers working in my store!" Passing the little girl off to her mother Aurora sighed leaning heavily on Rin for support. Feeling him tensing up to argue back she tapped his cheek. There was always a time and place to fight. In public with people that hadn't even seen the tiny demon was not it.
"Let it be Hot-Head." Supporting her he frowned.
"Aurora, are you okay?" Not getting a response Rin panicked as she bit her lip. Realizing he had asked her something the girl shook her head.
"W-What sorry didn't hear you… Can you just take me home?" Feeling him scoop her up in his arms the female buried her head in his chest. Holding his oldest friend against his chest the boy darted out of the store making it home in record time. Flinging the door open it lodged into the wall as Rin sped through the church.
"Yukio! Old man! Oi!" Pulling away from his front Aurora smiled slightly.
"Rin I'm not dying. Calm down." Having only heard Rin's voice that emotional when Aurora was hurt Shiro and Yukio dropped what they were doing to see what was wrong. Entering the room at the same time the priest and twin paused seeing nothing wrong with the girl. Slipping from the blue eyed boys arms she groaned leaning heavily on a chair nearby. "Goblins really suck, ya know. Will one of you drag me to the bathroom please?" Blinking Yukio scratched the back of his head before helping her up. Following closely behind them Rin growled when Father Fujimoto wrapped a hand around his arm.
"Rin what happened?" Waiting until Aurora was out of sight he let his anger take over. Falling to his knees the boy punched the wooden floor breaking through. If he wasn't so angry right now, he would've apologized. It was hard enough to afford food, repairs cost a lot and were mostly his fault.
"Dammit! I don't know, there was this little green and purple thing that stole a girl's scarf. I chased it and… I don't know some boxes fell, Rory covered the little girl but got hurt protecting her…" Grounding his teeth he snarled spooking the exorcist crouching beside him as the heater in the room exploded in a blast of blue fire. "Fuck if I was faster…." Patting his shoulder Shiro sighed.
"Aurora chose to protect that little girl. Don't beat yourself up because she got hurt, she'll be fine in the morning. Who knows what would of happened to the child had she not protected her." Standing he readjusted his glasses. "Now when Yukio and Aurora get finished we can state dinner." Pushing to his feet Rin drug himself towards the kitchen.
Shrugging out of her jacket the 16 year old shivered feeling the demonic energy spike in the front of the church. Crossing his arms Yukio waited for her to slip her shirt off leaving her clad in only her bra and pants. Unwrapping her white tail from around her torso the girl ran her fingers through the teal tuff of fur at the end. Sighing he checked if any of her ribs were fractured. "Do you enjoy making Rin's youki act up? This happens every time." Biting her lip she ducked her head.
"No but it was either me or the little kid. I'd rather know I tried to do something than just stand by and let her be hurt." Feeling him press harder than needed on one of her bruises the female growled seeing a smirk flash across the twin's face in the mirror. "Am I going to live doctor?" Shaking his head the brunette stepped back.
"I don't see how you ever made it to middle 2nd class." Shrugging she bent over to turn the water on planning on having a quiet soak before dinner.
"The same way you made it to middle 1st class, Yu." Shoving everything back into his bag the Dragoon frowned watching her tail sweep back and front.
"Don't call me that." Spinning on her heel she poked his chest glaring up at the boy.
"Really Yukio you never minded before I grew a tail. My demonic half is sealed thanks to Shiro, as long as nothing breaks my necklace." Giving the little silver chain a flick the girl smiled baring her fangs. "Just because my outside appearance changed doesn't mean I have." Snapping his bag shut the teen pressed his lips.
"It doesn't matter, you're still a demon and if you get out of hand I'll have to deal with you." Slamming the door behind him Yukio leaned against the door. Clicking the lock into place, knowing it wouldn't do any good if Rin got the mind to brag in, she shimmied out of her jeans testing the water again. Sometimes it felt like Yukio really did hate her, like he didn't even trust her anymore. Before her appearance had taken on it demonic features he'd been fine with her. Her actions defined her not her blood.
"Oi Okumura!" Yawning, Aurora sit up from her place napping in the sun of the front court yard. Peeking through the bushes that hid her, the girl frowned watching Rin battling with himself before stepping over the threshold of the abbey. Following quietly behind them, them being the 4 boys he'd beat up yesterday and Rin, she sniffed gagging as the horrible stench of rot filled her nose. Easing an annoying Coal Tar away she growled realizing they blanketed the area. Ducking behind a dumpster when the boys stopped she pushed her hair behind her elfish ears to hear what was being said. Looking around Rin when something caught her eye, she cursed seeing the tail and ram like horns coming from the white haired guy's head. Why hadn't she noticed earlier and here she was without her summoning papers or her kusarigama. "Why don't you just take it? I mean even your brother Yukio had to work his ass off to get into True Cross Academy because you're poor. And that chick you hang around with, she's so poor she can't even afford girl clothes. Their your hand-me-downs." Looking down at her own outfit she frowned wondering what was wrong with wearing comfy boy clothes. Eyes snapping back up she growled, as Rin darted forward punching the possessed boy hard enough to make him fly several feet back.
"I don't care what you say about me but leave Aurora and my brother out of this!" Pushing to his knees the white haired boy laughed as blood dripped from his nose.
"That actually hurt. Don't get cocky you useless little insect! Get him!" The other 3 boys swarmed the bluenette forcing him to the ground. Pulling a hot iron rod from the nearby fire, Reiji smirked. "I do not take kindly to being hit." Gulping one boy leaned up. Shit, what was the demon of Rot doing here? Surely he had better things to do then pick on teenage boys.
"Whoa are you sure we need to do this?" Kicking him the possessed boy cackled. Seeing her chance Aurora dashed from behind the dumpster tackling him, hoping to knock the bar away. Throwing her off almost as soon as they hit the ground Reiji swung the iron rod only missing because she rolled out of the way. Following her as she moved farther away, the boy grinned showing a mouth full of shark teeth.
'Let's see red horns, controls Coal Tar and has an impressive amount of demonic power. Who am I dealing with?' Jumping back again she hit the wall having misjudged the area she had to move. "Shit Astaroth." The King of Rot laughed flashing forward to wrap a hand around her neck. Having been struggling with the other two boys that held him down Rin stopped watching through wide eyes as Reiji brought the red-hot rod closer to Aurora's face.
"Stop! Please just let her go!" Pausing the king turned to Rin dragging the female with him.
"Oh does the human have a little mate?" Bringing the iron up to her face he hissed when she growled baring fangs. "I wonder what you would do if her pretty face was scarred?" The demonic boy purred trailing his tongue over her cheek, leaving a line of sizzling saliva. Aurora jerked her head forward, right into the Rot King's nose. He howled, tightening his hold on her neck. Dark liquid bubbled to the surface as claws pricked her skin. "Would you still want her?" Feeling something swelling inside of him the bluenette snarled as the bar inched closer, plasma staining the light material on her front. He'd hurt Rory! He would pay!
"Let her go!" A blast of blue flames surrounded the teen throwing the other two boys off. Forcing himself to his feet Rin growled. "I said, let her go."
"Heh heh. Looks like I was right." Dropping the girl, Astaroth smirked walking towards the raging boy. Aurora rolled away looking for anything to defend herself with. Why hadn't she brought her cell with her? Shiro or Yukio would be nice right now. "The blue flames of Satan prove it, how I've searched for you young master." Offering a hand the possessed human flicked his tail. "Come, let us go to Gehenna!" A sudden prayer rose from the other end of the alley making the demon jerk back spotting Father Fujimoto. "An exorcist!" Rushing forward the demon was flung away as Shiro finished expelling the spirit from Reiji's body. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts Aurora staggered to her feet, wiping the still burning spit from her face. That was so gross. What was it with demons and licking her? Rin gapped at the priest.
"It appears that Kurikara can no longer contain all of your power." The silver orbed female sighed. Thank God. Shiro was always right on time. Or Shura. The fur on her tail stood up, that was a lot of Youki rising in the air. They needed to move.
"Is that guy gonna be alright?" Bending down to check the exorcist nodded.
"Yes he was only recently possessed. Aurora, are you okay?" Blinking she looked down twisting side to side.
"Uhh yea. Shiro we need to hurry the suns almost set." Sighing the priest pushed his glasses up to pinch the bridge of his nose.
"I'm getting too old for this." Growling the bluenette stomped over checking for himself to see if she was really alright.
"Just what the hell was that? He had horns and a tail!" Grinning Shiro slapped him on the back.
"So you can finally see them?" Looking around Aurora shivered sensing all the gathering demons.
"Shiro we need to move now. I'm useless until I can get my knife." Nodding he grabbed Rin's arm jogging out of the alley followed closely by the girl.
"Just what the hell am I old man? What were those blue flames?" Not glancing back Fujimoto grit his teeth.
"You are the son of a demon." The boy stumbled not having expected it. "And not just any demon, you are the son of Satan." Sensing the boy's feelings Aurora bit her lip wishing she could do something to help. Speeding up she passed the other too to clear a path. Even without her knife she still had a little magic and her claws.
Watching Father Fujimoto stuff some of his clothes into a bag Rin stuttered trying to find something to say. "W-What are you doing?" Zipping the bag he led the teen back into the church where Aurora stood waiting with her knife. Moving the statue out of the way the two males disappeared reemerging with a demonic sword.
"Your powers are sealed inside the sword. Listen carefully Rin if you draw it your powers will be released and you may never be able to live as a normal human again." Holding out a cell phone he sighed. "Use the key when you leave here and when you're sure your safe call the number on the phone. He's an old friend, he'll help anyway he can." Baring his teeth the boy slammed the growing pile of objects on the floor.
"Screw that! All of a sudden demons exist and I have to leave!" Hurrying over the female gripped his hand.
"Rin they've always been there. We don't know why you just started seeing them but we have to keep you safe." Tightening his hold on her hand the bluenette looked up.
"What about Yukio?"
"Yukio was too weak to hold the powers so they passed to you alone." Snorting the teen clinched his fist.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why all of a sudden do I have to leave because I'm not human anymore?" Taking his glasses off the priest pressed his eyes.
"I wanted to raise you as a human. I'm not making you leave because you're not human any more, you're my son and that's what matters. This is for your own protection." Releasing her hand Rin stepped forward snarling.
"That's bullshit! I'm just some random kid. I'm not smart like Yukio and I'm not helpful like Aurora! Just admit it, you want me gone! Well fine I'm outta here. You never have to act like my father again. I don't need you!" Staggering back he stared at the wall not quiet understanding what had just happened. Had his old man just hit him?
"We don't have time for this. Just do as you're told this once." Gritting his teeth so hard his jaw popped the bluenette sighed feeling small, cold hands wrap around his own. Rory always had that effect on him, calming him down and making everything okay.
"Fine." The priest suddenly lurched forward clinching his chest.
"No! To think I could…"
"Old man?" Looking up momentarily Father Fujimoto grimaced.
"Get away! Hurry I can't hold him off for much longer!" Gasping Aurora stuck herself between the two pulling the chain from the bottom of her knife letting it swing in front of her.
"Shiro?" An insane cackle spilled from the exorcists lips.
"Nope try again." Head snapping up the silver haired girl flinched back locking eyes with the blue ringed red pupil. "Oh son of mine, how I've waited for this moment!" A sudden blast of flames threw both teenagers back. "That's right the big man himself is here to see his cute little boy, so look happy about it!" Blood dripped from the priest's eyes and nose. Satan wasn't meant to be in this world, his power was too much for anyone to handle.
"Y-You're a demon." Laughing he grinned. The skin around his mouth stretched until it looked like it would ripe.
"Yep that's right, god of demons and the King of Gehenna! Satan your one and only father!" Gripping his fingers he gave a sick cackle before breaking them off. "I'd like to stick around but this guy doesn't have much longer." Snarling in rage Aurora charged forward forgoing her weapon in her fury.
"You bastard!" Waving his hand a blast of flames sent her sailing back into the wall where she slid down bonelessly. Letting his blood drip on the floor a black mist appeared taking the form of the gate of Gehenna.
"Aurora!" A blast of flame surrounded the boy for a spilt second making the possessed man snort.
"What was that? Did you just piss your pants?" Catching the back of his shirt the man threw Rin into the Gehenna gate. Looking towards Aurora he froze seeing his snarling reflection in the mirror beside her. Following his son into the black goo that filled the gate Satan giggled. "I'm an all-powerful demon yet I cannot exist in this world because of this power. Everything I touch is doomed to die just like this exorcist and just like your mother." Looking around frantically Rin screamed fighting against the things that held him.
"Help me! Someone please!" The possessed body stopped, gripping the hanging pendent around his neck.
"This boy is my son and I'm taking him back!" Stabbing himself Father Fujimoto jolted, smiling he fell into the black beings that filled the gate. Fighting his way over to Shiro, Rin held him close.
"S-Somebody! Help!" Eyes flying open, Aurora gasped sitting up straight. Scrambling over to Rin, she wrapped her hand around his pulling with all her might. The edge of the gate gave way pulling her into the black rolling mist. Seeing the look he was giving Kurikara, the girl grabbed his hand.
"Don't do it Rin. Please! If you leave Shiro and me here you can get out."
"Are you crazy?! I'm not leaving you here!" Gripping the sword he stopped when her hands covered his.
"If you do this there's no going back. Don't throw your life away for us." Smiling he shook her hands off.
"I'm not. I still haven't shown my old man what I can do." Glancing down at the body before him the teen smirked. "Don't you dare die on me!" Pulling the sword from its sheath a wave of demonic power covered the room, looking away Aurora squinted dropping to the floor as the Gehenna gate was destroyed. Sheathing his sword Rin gulped leaning on the wall remembering all the times Shiro had been there for him, he fell to his knees as tears dripped down his face. "Father!" An anguish filled cry chilled the girl to her bones. Crawling over Aurora pulled the sobbing half-demon to her holding him, it was all she could do as her tears joined his.
Depending how well this is received will decide whether or not I continue it. I hope people like it cuz I really wanna continue it.
