Satan's American Son
Chapter One
Looks like we're brothers
Author's Notes: I was watching the anime when this idea popped into my head. The more I thought about it, the more I liked it. As you might see in later chapters, is that I'm going to follow the manga's storyline.
Blue Exorcist is owned by Kazue Kato and Funimation. I do not own any other mentioned properties.
"What?!" I exclaimed
"That's right, Mr. Alexander. Another one of Satan's children has enrolled to be an exorcist." Mephisto proclaimed in his usual, flamboyant manner.
"Sounds like more work for you." I concluded, "But, I guess that's why you came to me."
"Bingo!" said the trickster.
Sighing tiredly, "I guess I could help him control his flames if he hasn't already." I said with weary resignation.
"I knew you would agree." he chirpped.
"So were is he?" I asked, collecting things from around the room that I needed for my exorcist studies.
"He'll be staying under my roof in Japan." Pheles stated.
Almost dropping the broadsword that held my heart, I looked at Mephisto as though he had just given me the gift of a life time. Suppressing my excitement, I put on a persona of a professional, "Will I be compansated for my efforts?" I questioned.
"But of course, you will need to be able to take care of yourself while your there." he said as though it were obvious.
"Alright, since I'm going to Japan, I'm going to need a passport." As I finished my packing.
"Already taken care of." With a flare, he produced one from thin air.
If he knew I was going to say yes, then why did he bother coming here to begin with? I thought, eyebrow twitching. I followed Mephisto to the door, for which opened to the Japanese cram school. Sending me to room 1106, he went to fetch my brother from his home later. Leaving me with a note full of useful info, I headed to the classroom so I could find an acurate clock to set my watch to.
My first impressions of the room where not great, the place looked as though it had been vacant for years. Taking a seat off to the side, I had a few hours to kill before students began coming in. So to entertain myself, I started playing with my flames and the coal tars around the room. This only lasted a few minutes and the time shift caught up with me. With fours to go, I found myself sleeping face down on the desk.
I was shaken awake sometime later by a young man with peircings and a blonde streak through his hair. By the way he held himself and the amount of facial hair, I guessed he was around fifteen, sixteen years old. Even though a scowl adorned his face, I saw that he was very attractive.
"Hey! This isn't a place for you to sleep!" he chastised
Mentally switching to Japanese, "Oh sorry. I literally just transfered here from the U.S. So I'm getting used to the time shift." I yawned. Extending my right hand, "I'm Tabius Alexander."
"Ryuji Suguro." he replied, firmly grasping my hand. "And this is Renzo Shima and Konekomaru Mira." each grabbing my hand as they were introduced.
"So you're from the U.S.? What's it like there?" asked Miwa
"I guess you could say it's a mixture of things, seeing that so many cultures live there. It's kinda hard to put into words. But you feel free and open when you're there. You'll be exposed to so many ways of thinking and living that you can easily create your own." I said thoughtfully.
"You seem like you got a good head on your shoulders. I hope we can become good friends." praised Suguro, making my heart skip a beat.
"I would like that. I'm really not all that smart, I've just had a lot of life lessons throw at me over the years." I said truthfully, praying to God that I wasn't blushing too hard.
"So," said Shima sitting on the desk in front of me, "what's your reason for becoming an exorcist? Everyone's got one."
"Well, I lost my mother during the first Blue Night and I've always had a knack for fighting. So, last summer when I turned 17, I joined up with the exorcists in the U.S." I explained, only giving half the truth.
"So why did you come to Japan?" asked Miwa
"Didn't have a choice. Mephisto had me transfer to help my half-brother with his studies, since he's joining today." I answered, again in half-truth.
"Really?! You know the president personally?!" exclaimed Shima with awe.
"Well, he was close to my parents and has been acting as one of my gaudians for a while now. Same goes for my brother." I said nonchalant.
"Speaking of which, what's he like?" questioned Suguro.
"I dunno, never met him before. Actually, I didn't know I had a brother until today. Mephisto can really be an ass sometimes." I said with slight irritation.
As I finished talking, a new student walked into the room. They had been fileing during the entire conversation, but this one was accompanied by a small, white dog that had Mephisto's hankerchief tied around it's neck. This told me that this kid was my brother, the one that shared Satan's blood. His briliant blue eyes and pointed ears were dead give aways.
From the way he moved, I could tell he was greiving over something important to him. Not surprising, misfortune has always followed me like a lost puppy and it looks like my brother is no different. By the looks of it, he carried a great burden, greater than any I've had to carry anyways. He took a seat in front of the class while Mephisto jumped into his lap.
A few minutes later, our teacher walked into the classroom. I was surprised to see that he was so young, probably the same age as most of the kids in this class. But I wasn't the only one surprised.
"Yukio?!" exclaimed my brother. Do they know each other?
"Mr. Okumura, please sit down." Said Yukio calmly
"The hell I will, how long has my little brother been an exorcist?!" Okumura asked at the top of his lungs.
Yukio quieted him and began the lesson by asking for a show of hands for those that hav recieved a temptaint. I raised my hand of course, so did a few others. But strangly, the older of Okumura brother didn't. Instead, it looked as though he was talking to the trickster that sat in his lap.
Yukio tried to continue the lesson, but his brother kept interupting. Eventually, he was up in Yukio's face, demanding answers. But all he achieved was knocking the vial of blood from his brother's hand and summoning hobgoblins into the classroom. I stayed behind to ensure the quareling brothers didn't end up destroying the surrounding area.
"Mr. Alexander, why are you still here?!" asked Yukio.
Unsheathing my sword with a wry smile, "I thought you could use the extra fire power." Slashing a goblin in half and stopped two more with my flames. "You two look like you have something to talk about, so I'll keep 'em busy."
Five minutes later, we had everything sorted, but Rin had unfortunatly set half the room ablaze. While I put out the flames, Yukio moved the others to an ajacent classroom.
That evening was spent moving my things into my dormroom and arranging everything to my liking. Once satisfied, I began to explore the building, seeing what all was here. I didn't encounter anyone until I got to the second floor. Going in, I found the Okumura brothers disscussing their living arangments. Apparently, we were the only ones here.
"Hey, your the guy with the blue flames and sword like me!" blurted Rin.
"Yep. Apparently Satan couldn't keep it in his pants." I laughed, "I'm Tabius by the way and your older brother. Well...technically half-brother."
"Whoa! I've never had an older brother !" exclaimed Rin, barely containing his excitement.
"Why is this the first I'm hearing of this?" ased Yukio, puzzled.
"Don't feel bad , I didn't know until today either. Mephisto can be a real tight ass when it comes to infromation." I said in sympathy.
"Hey! How did you make the flames do what you wanted them to do?" asked Rin, ignoring my last comment.
"I've had around three years of practice, so I do things you can't. Actually," I explained, "that's why I'm here. Mephisto tasked me with teaching you how to use your flames to your advantage."
"So your going to teach me how to fight?!" questioned Rin, tail moving in excitement.
"More or less." I said.
"Yipee!" cheered the young demon.
"Great," groaned his brother, "more work for me."
"Don't worry," I assured, putting my hair in a ponytail, resembling Ed Elric both in color and style, "anything that happens under my watch is my responsiblity to cover up and keep out of suspicion."
"Fine. Just don't burn down the building." Yukio dissmised.
And that's how I first met some of the first met some of the most important people in my life. It caused a joy that could only be felt with family. With studies and training aside, I believe that I'm going to have the best memories from my time here.
Well, I really have nothing left to say. Please leave a review and support this new series. See ya!
