First Blue Exorcist fanfic! Super exited to see the results.
(All credit goes to the wonderful Kazue Kato!)
It was a cold winter night. The snow glittered in the moonlight as two figures trudged through the forest. One was wearing a black
trench coat and donned a pair of glasses. The other had on a white petticoat and breeches. In his hand he carried an umbrella. Their
destination; a small cave in the middle of the forest.
"So, do you really plan on killing her child, Shiro?" The one with the umbrella asked.
"You know I have to kill it, I've no other choice in the matter Mephisto." Mephisto thought this over. Then he spoke,
"Well then, I propose a wager. The child will be half human as well as demon. So if it shows no sign of its demonic heritage, then Yuri can
raise it. If it does then I shall raise it and teach it to control Satan's power. That way there will be no killing. So do we have a deal?" Shiro
looked at him skeptically.
"How do I know you won't use the child for your own purposes if it does show its demonic heritage? That would be like handing over a
weapon to you to use against the Vatican." Mephisto looked up and laughes.
"Ah but you see, I am the second most powerful demon king in Gehenna, what would i need a weapon for? No, I simply wish to raise my little
sibling. Is that too much to ask?" Shiro couldn't help but think there was something Mephisto wasn't letting on. Before he could pry more
Mephisto spoke up.
"Ah, we're here!" They stood outside of a small cave with the entrance barely visible in the snow. A small snow demon stood guard outside,
as the duo approached it stepped aside to let them pass. Once inside they noticed that it was considerably warmer, like sitting in front of
the heater. In the center of the cave Yuri lay in a makeshift bed with two small bundles in her arms. Her face was pale and her eyes looked
tired. She looked up as the two walked in.
"Oh, your finally here! I thought maybe I wouldn't see you again, Shiro." She looked down at the two bundles in her arms with a small smile.
For the first time Shiro realised there were two babies instead of one. One had blue flames surrounding it while the other didn't.
"The one with the flames is Rin, and the other one is Yukio." She looked at Shiro with sad eyes.
"Shiro, I'm not going to be here much longer, and we both know it. After I'm gone i want you to look after them for me. Can you do that?"
Shiro looked at Mephisto, who then nodded his head slightly. He looked back at Yuri his face set with a determined expression.
"I'll look after them yuri, nothing bad will happen to them, I promise." She smiled as her eyes slowly closed.
"That's ... Good..." Then her head fell deeper into the pillow; a content smile on her face.
