I'm Your Demon
Prologue
A.N: I do not own blue exorcist or any of the characters in this story apart from my oc Lucy Cross.
The Past
The young girl sat shaking in the corner of the classroom as she watched the scene come to an end. The boy was growing.
"He's a demon! Get him away from the children," the teacher shouted.
The boy was upset and angry at what his own teacher called him. He flipped over a table and screamed. The girl got up from her corner and slowly walked over to the angry boy.
"Please come down" whispered the young girl.
"No!" he shouted. "They called me a DEMON!"
The girl winced. "I don't think you're a demon. You're just misunderstood," Lucy replied.
The boy stared at her, a small smile coming to his lips. He raised his hand up – just as he was putting his hand up a teacher ran over and scooped the girl away from the boy.
"Lucy stay away from him."
"No," Lucy shouted her arms opened wide.
Scared, the boy screamed, "I'M NOT A DEMON. I'M JUST LIKE YOUS! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
An older man walked to the boy.
"How can you raise a demon child," a teacher demanded.
The young girl got out of her grip and fell to the floor. The young girl moaned, "Ouch. That hurt."
"Oops," muttered the teacher.
"Rin," the old man said.
"Father Fujimoto," the boy said.
"You broke that boy's arm and nose," said Father Fujimoto.
"IT'S NOT MY FAULT THE BOY CALLED ME A DEMON CHILD BEHIND MY BACK!" yelled Rin (the boy in question), "HE SAID I WAS A MONSTER!"
"It is your fault," replied Father Fujimoto. The boy jumped back shocked.
"Come with me and stop breaking things."
"GRRRAAAH!" Rin screamed.
"What a face. How do you raise a child like that? He really DOES look like a demon," said the teacher who dropped the girl.
The old man kneeled in front of Rin and he hugged him. The child screamed and punched the man in the stomach. The older man pretended to be hurt making Rin quickly apologise. Father Fujimoto laughed.
"Got ya. Did I scare you?" he asked. "Listen Rin if this keeps up someday you will be alone," the man told him, "Use your power for better purposes. I want you to grow up and be cool and have lots of friends and girlfriends."
"How can I do that?" the boy questioned.
"Improve yourself," Father Fujimoto said, "Be a better person and some day you will look back and find that you've changed".
The man moaned, "Looks like I am hurt. Call an ambulance."
About ten minutes later the ambulance the arrived at the primary school.
"Why the long face Rin? I'll be fine. I will have a nurse with big boobs," Father Fujimoto laughed, "A little punch like yours can't hurt me. I did it on purpose."
The girl walked over to Rin and took his hand. She said, "He will be fine."
Father Fujimoto called out as the door was closing. "Take Rin home for me Lucy."
The teacher interjected, "Wait. No. Don't go with the demo-"
Lucy interrupted, "He is not a demon or a monster. He's my friend. He's Rin Okumura."
Rin got bored and decided to start to walk away from the primary school. He took the girl with him.
She started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" Rin asked.
"I think that you've started to change," she laughed, "You dragged me away from them so I would not argue back. You don't want me to get angry."
"That was me being bored," Rin admitted.
"Oh" the girl said.
Rin laughed.
TheY talked about anything and everything. A few minutes later they finally reached Rin's house (True Cross boys' monastery).
"See you later," Lucy said.
"Yeah. Definitely," Rin said happily.
Lucy started to walk away. She turned around and saw Rin was heading inside. Running over, she hugged him from behind. Rin gasped as he nearly fell over.
She giggled as she started to let go of him. Rin turned around and hugged her properly. Lucy squealed and laughed.
"Thank you," Rin said.
"For what?"
"For helping me out back there"
"I was just being a friend," she admitted. They both pulled away from each other. She was slightly red.
"Bye Lucy," Rin called out as she walked away from him. She turned around and waved making Rin smile a genuine smile.

Later that night when the girl was in her house, Rin's father came to her house. The man knocked on her house. The mother opened the door.
"Hello, can I help you?"
"Oh yes. Hello can I please talk to Miss Cross? She's friends with my Son, Rin," the man asked.
"Oh erm..yeah would you like to come in?" the mother questioned Father Fujimoto.
"Oh I'm sorry my name is Shiro," he said as he followed her inside.
"I'll get her, you can make yourself at home if you would like."
"Thank you," he said. The mother left to get her daughter.
The young girl came down the stairs.
"Hello Mr. Fujimoto" she greeted him.
"Hello Lucy."
"Are you ok now?"
"Yeah thanks"
Lucy smiled.
"I have a question for you Miss Cross," said Shiro. She cocked her head to the side.
"What?" she questioned.
"Would you like to help Rin?"
She nodded her head.
"Would you like to become an Exorcist?"
Lucy's mum walked into the room. The mother said, "She can't help you."
Father Fujimoto looked at her.
"Lucy, go to your room," the mother ordered her. Lucy sighed and went up the stairs to her room.
"She can't help you," The mum said.
"But she is a Cross!"
"NO!" The mother shouted.
Rin's father sighed, "I know who you really are!"
"Prove it," she told him.
Father Fujimoto pulled out a folder from his jacket which he handed to her. The mother flicked through the pages.
She gasps. 'He knows? He actually knows! How did he find out?' she thought.
Lucy's mother gritted her teeth. "How do you know?" she asked.
He shrugged his shoulders, "It was easy to figure it out. She can help my son. He will need this."
"WE DON'T DO THIS NOW!" Lucy's father's voice boomed in the living room. The two turned around to see David.
"Let's go into your kitchen to talk about this," Father Fujimoto suggested.
Once in the kitchen they sat at the dinner table.
"Look Mr and Mrs Cross. My son will need what you did," Rin's father told them, "Rin is the son of the devil and Lucy is half demon too. And with some help she will be able to help him; to keep Rin in check."
"Don't call her half demon. She may be my daughter but she's no demon," Lucy's mum said.
"Elisabeth, please, let Lucy do this. It will help her as well," Shiro said.
"You don't understand," David retorted, "We faked our death, changed our names and moved here. Our son, he was killed by the devil. Nathen died because of what we do: Lucy no longer has a brother."
"I'm so sorry for your loss," Shiro said.
Elisabeth wiped her eyes, "He was my little boy. My little hero. He was killed because we made the deal, because we gave him a connection to a demon." Elisabeth let her tears fall.
"It was said that girls can survive it more. They are less likely to be killed. She will have her mother's powers and her father's human half will help her to control the powers she inherits. We can change the connection," Shiro said, "And Rin will protect her too. You've seen what they two are like. They love each other. I'm sure Rin will do anything to protect her." He went on, "Please"
"What about your other son, Yukio?" David asked
"Yukio will hopefully help protect him. But since Rin is the son of Satan more demons will come after him. Higher levels of demons will go after him. Please I love Rin and Yukio as if they were my own sons." Father Fujimoto looked down.
Elisabeth looked at him. She looked to her husband.
He nodded. "If we agree to this there must be ways to kill the connection. The other exorcist must not find out that we are 'The Cross family' we need to make Lucy look different or something like that." David told the other dad.
"Thank you Mr Cross. I know she will be able to handle this like you."
The mother looked away. David smiled, "I must admit being with Elisabeth; having that connection has made me the happiest man alive." He took his wife's hand and kissed it softly as she smiled.
"Thank you really. I'll do anything to repay my debt to you," Rin's father thanked them. "I know Lucy won't let your family history down. She will bring honour to your family. She will make you proud of her."
Lucy's mum and dad decided that when they were going to give her the connection to Rin then they had to do it without Rin knowing. The thing is: will she be ok? How will they be able to do it?
-:-
"Lucy, get changed into this," Lucy's mum said.
Lucy looked at the white long dress, "I don't like that dress. It's horrible."
Elisabeth sighed, "Lucy you agreed to this. When you're older you will be wearing more dresses." Her mother told her.
"Why?" She moaned.
"Cause it's something you're going to have to do cause of the connection, I guess you could say it's a side effect. And anyway you're 13 and you're a pretty girl," She told her daughter.
Lucy nodded. Lucy went in the bathroom. She took her clothes off and jumped in the shower. She turned the water up high, the hot water pelted her back and soothed her nerves. "Am I doing the right thing? What if I mess up and die? What if Rin hates me?" she asked herself, "Why do I care for him so much?"
She shook her head to try to get the thoughts out of her mind.
After the shower she dried herself off and put the dress on. She wiped the steam off the mirror to look at herself. She nodded, "I can do this."
She walked out and sat on the chair in her mum and dad's room. Elisabeth walked over.
"It's going to be ok mum," Lucy said.
"I hope so," her mum replied. She picked up Lucy's hair brush and brushed her hair and dried it. She put her hair up in a high pony tail, and curled the end.
"There you go."
David walked in, "Awww look at my little angel. You know you look just like your mother when she was your age." Her father told her.
Lucy smiled.
-:-
"RIN! GET YOUR BUTT IN THE SHOWER NOW!" Rin's father shouted to him.
"Whyy?" Rin groaned.
"Cause I said so and the Cross' are coming over for dinner," he told his son.
"Fine then." Rin went in the shower. Once he was finished he got changed. Rin walked out to go to his room with only a towel on.
"RIN THE CROSS' ARE HERE NOW!" Father Fujimoto shouted.
"Aye," was his reply.
Suddenly he walked into something or someone. The two people screamed. Rin threw his hands in the air. Lucy covered her eyes.
Rin's towel fell down to the ground, "AHH!" Rin quickly picked up his towel and put it back around his lower half.
"Sorry," Lucy and Rin both said. Rin quickly ran to his room and got changed.
-:-
"So how are we going to do this?" Father Fujimoto asked.
"Well we are going to do it this way," Elisabeth told him.
-:-
The two families were all sitting down at the kitchen table eating their dinner. Lucy was in the middle of one side with the two twins sitting at either side of her. Lucy's mum and dad were sitting at the other side and Mr Fujimoto was sitting at the top of the table.
"Thanks for dinner. I really loved it," Lucy smiled.
Father Fujimoto laughed,"It's Rin you need to thank. He quickly made this because I kind of burned tonight's dinner."
"Oh…Thanks Rin."
"It's ok Lu," Rin grinned.
-:-
Lucy and Rin were in the back garden. Lucy was distracting him while they took a small blood sample from Rin. They managed to get it done.
"Oh hey Rin. Do you…erm…wanna make a promise to me? I found out about this sort of chant for us to be friends forever. It's basically a promise." Lucy smiled as she puts both of her hands out.
Rin looked unsure at first, then he nodded.
"Right all you have to do is hold my hand and repeat what I say after I say it." Lucy looks at Rin.
He nods, "Okay." Rin took her hands in his.
Lucy had spent the last week remembering this chant.
"Oh one thing more, this will sound really weird to you, ok," Lucy laughed.
They both closed their eyes.
"The power of good shines more than evil. Good over evil. The powers that be help me to help him. I, Lucy Cross, will do everything in my power to protect Rin and save his life if need be."
Lucy peeked her eyes open to see a little bit of blue flames coming off of Rin. Lucy looked down to their hands, it looks like there is electricity circling their hands. She then saw her arms. It looked like there was a dark aura radiating off of them. She shut her eyes once more.
"I will never give up on him; I will never turn my back on him."
Rin waited in silent and repeated what she said.
"The power of good shines more than evil. Good over evil. The powers that be help me to help her. I, Rin Okumura, will do everything in my power to protect Lucy and save her life if need be. I will never give up on her; I will never turn my back on her."
They both opened up their hands.
Lucy took out a small knife and handed it to him. Rin looked at her shocked.
"Sorry about this part. Just cut your hand slightly please."
Rin sighed, "You owe me for this." He gritted his teeth as he pressed the tip of the knife into the palm of his hand. He pressed down really hard. The skin on his hand started to separate and it started to ooze with blood. "Ouch"
Lucy smiled and took the knife. "And that's you."
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah," she grinned.
"Cool." Rin walked away.
Lucy looked at the knife. She sighed, 'It's now or never.'
She took the same knife that was covered in Rin's blood and she pressed it into the palm of her hand. Her skin started to peel apart from each other. Her blood ran down her arm and she pressed the flat side of the knife into the cut. She started shaking. The blue flames started coming out of her hand. Her dark aura started drifting off her body. The two powers danced around together. Her hair changed from blond to brown. The electricity formed into a ball over the two powers. It got bigger and bigger. The electricity flowed in her direction and went into her heart. It was that strong that it blasted her away. She flew back and hit the garden gate and she went right into the other side of it.
David saw Rin wrap his hand in a bandage. David nodded to Elisabeth. She ran out to the garden.
"LUCY!" She shouted. She wrapped Lucy's hand up and took the knife. "Lucy baby, wake up please." She pleaded shaking her daughter. "Lucy wake up. Don't die please" She started tapping her daughter's cheeks.
All was heard was a moan.
"Ow, my head hurts." Lucy slowly sat up. "Have you got the necklace mum?" Lucy questioned.
Elisabeth nods. Lucy takes the necklace and puts it on. She holds it in her hand. It was in a shape of a love heart that's coloured red.
"So the red means he's ok and the blue means he's got the blue flame."
Lucy's mum nodded.
Lucy smiles. 'Well at least I served this part,' she thought.
