This is my first story, so please, don't be too brutal. It's Rin x Harem and OC x Male-Harem, with eventual Rin x OC. [Unless something else is super popular. Haven't decided yet. The next chapter will be longer, so please be patient!

Chapter 1: Changing Phases

Shiro ran through the streets of the small town. It wasn't very big, which was a good thing. More people would bring more attention. The other exorcists ran behind him, most of them upper first and second class who had chosen to help him with his plan. The lot of them ran frantically through the streets searching for something. Something that could bring their plan to a halt.

After choosing to split up, Father Fujimoto came across the source of the commotion. Leaning against the wall of the alleyway was a woman holding her hand over a young girl's mouth. She was also young, appearing no older than 30, although Shiro knew better. Behind her was a pair of glossy wings and a wire thin tail. On her head were two rough horns, dull at the ends. Even from where he was, he could smell the faint scent of sulfur.

He walked up. This was a weak demon, for the paladin, and there was virtually no danger. She noticed him, but did not make a move to run, which was slightly confusing. She only stood up on weak legs, carrying the previously struggling child against her chest. She still had to lean against the wall, so he assumed that she could not walk, and could barely stand.

He now stood in front of her, waiting for her to answer the silent question, "Why are you here?".

She began to explain in a rushed, yet clear voice. He was shocked, to say the least, as she handed the key to him, and asked, "Will you allow her to do what she was chosen for? I was injured in our escape. I'm barely alive as it is, and she needs someone to guide her. Please, as a favor."

Being the man that he was, he couldn't say he wasn't hesitant, but the small girl, no older than 6, looked up at him. She was terrified at her mother's words. Barely alive?

To the mother's amazement, he agreed to take her in. Once she handed the priest her daughter, in both relief and amazement, she collapsed back onto the ground. She was gone.

"Okaa-san!"

Thanks for reading, and the next chapter will come soon.
