Prologue:

Arizona 1898

(On the way to the Ninth Bell Orphanage)

Care taker: N

N: Yes?

Care taker: You need to have a name right?

N: Is that my name, father, N?

(Looking outside the window)

Care taker: what are you looking at?

N: over there, so many bodies.

Care taker: …

N: They've been killed. So much pain… So much… No! Stay away! Stay away from me!

It hurts! Aagh! it hurts! Aaagh!

Care taker: C-calm down! You shouldn't look at them, just let it go. Why don't you tell me about yourself instead?

N: Myself… well I'm seven years old, I don't know anyone; the people I meet get scared whenever they learn of my powers…

Oh! Will Rin be at the Orphanage too?

Care taker: Rin?

N: The person in my dreams, a shadow covers his face it makes him look dark, big... and scary.

N: Whenever I look at him, his crying. I wonder why, maybe he'll tell me when I meet him.

Care taker: … If you saw him, then I'm sure you will meet him some day.

N: And when that day comes, he will be the one that will take my life.

Chapter one

Trial and Error

2011 Kiro Japan

Rin: Ugh I'm late again; I can't believe that interview lasted for three hours! And for what, a stupid job as a sales clerk. (Looking up at the sky, and noticing the time) Crap! Its 9:00 p.m.! I need to get home quick, or I'm not going to hear the end of it from father.

Thugs: Look at that dog laying there in the street, wasting space, and just waiting to die. Hey! Hikabi! Pass me my bb gun; I'm going to put this dog out of its misery. I doubt anyone would care if we painted this park a little redder.

Hikabi: Here you go Sam.

Sam: I said my bb gun! Not what ever that is, wait is that a real gun! O well since its going to die anyways, it doesn't matter how we kill it.

Hikabi: Come here doggy.

Dog: (starting to growl)

Hikabi: AHHH! It bit me!

Sam: Stop playing, and get the dog over here.

Hikabi: Sam that fucking dog bit me!

Sam: I don't care, just move so I can shoot it already.

Rin: Hey! What do you think you're doing!

Sam: Nothing, just doing this dog a favor, now back off kid.

Rin: YOU BASTARDS!

Sam: Wait what! AHHH!

Hikabi: Sam!

Sam: (bleeding in the floor) Uggh…

Hikabi: Are you ok?

Sam: What do you think!

Hikabi: Your lip is bleeding, and you have a black eye, I'm guessing not well?

Sam: You think! What are you? How did you move so fast! You freak! You demon! Just… Just… Get away from us.

Rin: You think Im the monster, you were about to kill this dog just for fun! With people like you we don't need demons!

Hikabi: let me help you up.

Sam: Get off of me! I can get up by my self.

Hikabi: let's just leave Sam.

Rin: Yeah, run away!

Rin: …

At the monastery:

Yukio: Rin what happened to you!

Rin: Nothing, can you just get me some bandages.

Yukio: K, just wait a sec, and you do know dad is really mad right now, because of how long it took you to get back, and now you got into another fight. Well frankly he isn't going to like you much tonight at dinner. Did you at least get the job?

Rin: …

Yukio: (While looking through the medicine cabinets) well did you?

Rin: No.

Yukio: Why? This is the fourth job this week you messed up on. What happened?

Rin: I don't know, some people just don't like me.

Yukio: You know that's not true.

Father Fujimoto: Your back Rin. I see that you got into another fight.

Rin: …

Father: Its fine, im not mad at you, im just glad that you came back safe, well in one pies, he is in one piece right Yukio.

Yukio: Yes dad, Im just patching him up.

Father: well it's not completely unfortunate that you didn't get the job.

Rin: "why is he acting so calm? O well ill just go with it." Where?

Father: I got you a new job; you don't even need an interview; it's tomorrow at 3:00pm at Tami's Market in Seventh Street.

Rin: Wait I don't need to interview?

Father: No.

Rin: Yes! I might finally get a job!

Yukio: Im glad you're exited.

Rin: Are you kidding im psyched!

Priest: Father someone is waiting for you outside.

Father: I'll be right there.

Rin: where is dad going?

Yukio: I don't know lets follow him and see.

Father: (leaning down and talking to a little girl) how are you doing today?

Little girl: (clutching on her teddy bear) those things are back.

Father: Hum, I see… Well here's what you can do, if you see them again you should call for your parents, they will be always there for you to protect you, and if that isn't enough, u can call me. That's what an exorcist is for. (Giving her a worm smile)

Rin: what was that about?

Yukio: I don't know, but let's not intrude any longer.
