BLUE AND BLACK FLAMES
KLK: I was strolling through a website when I just so happened to have passed a doujin with this hot red-headed girl with blond highlights that just caught my eye. I looked up what series she was from and saw that this series did not have a lot of fanfics, just a few crossovers as well. So, I started to read it and got hooked on. Rin fits all the requirements to be a KoP because one, he's the son of the demon god, Satan (It'll be a different one than the KoP canon, though this one is not as strong as the one we all know). Two, he has something that may change his world. And three, he's bad ass with a blade. Anyway, Kiactu will do the summary, and the pairings. This is another story in the KoP Recruitment series, one of the honorary ones, I would think
Kiactu: Whatever. Fifteen-year-old Rin Okumura never thought that the world of demons existed until one day, he is attacked by one on the streets. He is given a magic sword that seals away his powers and is told not to use it. He is also given a summoning circle and told to use it in only times of peril. But, in a moment of crisis, he uses them to save his father, summoning the most powerful being to ever walk the face of Earth: the Prince of the Namae no Nai. It'll be canon up until the part when Rin gets attacked by Astaroth for the first time.
Pairings are:
Rin/Shiemi/Izumo
Kiactu/Shura
Shima/OC
Bon/OC
CHAPTER ONE: UNWANTED DISCOVERY A.K.A. SUMMONING
"What the hell's with all of these demons and ghouls here?" Kiactu asked as his Knight Blade sliced through another enemy. The blond looked around him, to see that he was surrounded by thousands of the creatures. Though I know that I can defeat them without both seals, this battle would kill me.
That was when the incantation of a scripture was heard. The Prince looked back to see a middle-aged man with a little girl. "RUN, DAMMIT!" the boy yelled. "THIS IS NOT A FIGHT WORTH GETTING INTO!" But, before Kiactu's eyes, the horde of demons seemed to have lessened. "What. . . the. . . hell?" he asked, before the sound of paper filled his ears. The Namae no Nai prince looked behind him to see that the priest had thrown what looked to be like a . . . "What the hell are you doing with a sealing tag, old man!" he yelled before he was sucked inside.
"This talisman is only to be used in dire situations," the priest said to the little girl. "I will keep this until you are ready to wield this familiar, Shura." The girl nodded before saying, "Sure, Shirou-sensei."
Elsewhere in a church not that far off, a man suddenly began to burst into blue flames, but everyone else tried to pray harder. As they did, they all began to burn. "Withdraw!" one of the priest's main Exorcists yelled. "Don't be foolish! If we fall, who will protect Assiah?" said clergyman told him. That was when his face grew into a grimace before blood fell down his face. "A-akumas!" His words rang throughout the temple. Outside, the hue from the flames could be seen as the screams of those affected filled the air.
SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER
A young boy was seen in front of a trio, with one of them so far into the fence that it looked separated at points. "What the hell do you guys think you're doing to those pigeons?" he asked, his hand bloody. "What is he?" the chubby one on the right of the boy in the fence. "He has to be a demon!" the other yelled as they got the boy out. They ran to get away from the boy as he looked at the pigeon with an arrow through his chest.
In a church not that far off, the same boy could be found in a confession stand. "You lost little lamb, confess your sins and say your prayers," the middle-aged priest told him. "I didn't do anything wrong," the boy said, resting his head on his right hand. "Then what is with your wounds?" was the question asked. "I fell on some stairs," was the answer.
"Your back is pretty dirty." was the response. "It was a hard fall." The priest looked in on Rin, noticing a trickle of blood flowing out the boy's nose. "Your nose seems to be bleeding," he observed. Rin looked somewhere off the camera before lying. "I fell on an insanely hot babe."
"NANI? WHICH WAY DID SHE GO? AFTER HER, RIN!" the priest yelled in excitement, before realizing that he had be tricked. He then grabbed the now-identified Rin and held him in a headlock. "Liar! You got in another fight, didn't you? Why are you always doing that?" Rin struggled a lot, trying to free his head before he ended up. "Let me go, you stupid old fart!" Later, the boy found himself kneeling to his father, who was shooting off at him that the job he had already had decided to fire him. "They said that they didn't need someone who wouldn't come back after a delivery."
"Ah! Tou-san, nii-san," Yukio Okumura called out to his father and brother. "Have you two been fighting again?" The helpers of the church snickered. "Though they are twins, they are nothing alike," one of them said. "Yukio's the athletic genius whose going away to True Cross Academy while the older brother's a trouble to have around."
"Shut the FUCK UP!" Rin yelled, causing the heater near the group to explode in blue flames similar to the ones that night, though no one noticed it. The top landed by Reverend Fujimoto's feet as he ran up to said appliance. "I'm really going to need to buy a better heater," he said. "Reverend Fujimoto," another helper said as he walked up to the priest, "you have a visitor outside." The priest then followed after the hand, but not before telling Yukio to patch his brother up.
"Itai," Rin said, squeezing his eyes closed as the burns were applied to his body. "Hold on," Yukio reassured his brother as he wrapped the other boy's hand in gauze. "So, you're heading out to the school right?" Rin asked his brother. "Hai," Yukio responded. "I got my own dorm and everything. You know, school starts next week."
"And I guess this will be your last time fixing me up," Rin said, a smile on his face. "Don't worry, nii-san," Yukio told his brother. "I will, just if you agree to pay the fees." Rin laughed. "If you keep this up, I'm sure you'll be really good." His brother looked up to him. "Don't forget the fees, nii-san."
"But will you be alright without me around?" Yukio asked as he began to put up his medical supplies. "What? Are you going to scold me too?" Yukio shook his head at his brother's answer. "No, it's just that I'm worried about you. And not just me, but Father and the rest of the others in the abbey are as well. You get into fights everyday and you also quit jobs too easily." Rin looked away in shame. "I know," he said. "I should grow up. Today, I saw three guys shooting pigeons today in the park and tearing off their wings. When I yelled at them to stop, they just shot an arrow at me, causing me too lose it. And before you knew it, I punched the guy that was shooting them."
"Maybe. . . it's a sign," Yukio said to his brother, who looked at the boy as if he was crazy. "From who?" was the question he asked. "God." Rin sighed as he looked at his younger brother. "You're becoming more and more like the old man," he growled before the door slid open and two of the church-hands came in: one heavyset and the other strangely reminiscent to a certain Lieutenant from another demon-slaying anime.
IN THE D(.)GRAY-MAN WORLD
Reever sneezed as he carried some of Komui Lee's things into his new lab. "Nonononononono!" said the man as the chemicals fell, letting up a cloud of smoke. Allen, Kanda, Lenalee, and Lavi all walked in to see a chicken with an odd hairstyle. "Okay," Allen asked. "Does anyone else see what I see? Because I could swear someone slipped something in my drink." They all shook their heads, even Kanda. "Okay, so who agrees that we should bring it to the cook to have him. . . well, cook it," Lavi asked. At that statement, Allen's eyes drooped before he entered a state of dreams. "I'm content with that plan," he told the future Bookkeeper. "Can't we keep it as a pet?" Lenalee asked. "It looks a lot like Reever."
"Awww," Allen said, his head lowered in a depressed mood. "Oh well," Lavi put off, shrugging his shoulders. Kanda just looked at the chicken with distaste before walking off. "If that thing so much as shits on me, we're going to have chicken for lunch." With that, Reever began to sweat.
BACK IN THE BLUE EXORCIST WORLD
"We found Rin a job at the Cross Mall," the plump one said. "They wanted us to call right in, so we did," his companion added. "You guys got me a job without my consent?" Rin asked. "Don't worry about it," yet another church-hand added. "You can even use my suit." Said suit was thrown through the air at Rin, making the boy catch it before it could hit the ground. As they all gave Rin things for his job, Yukio smiled. Out in the hall, Rin was having troubles tying his tie. "God dammit all to hell," he said, completely tied up. His arm was over his head while his leg somehow found its way to his stomach. Rin's face was turning blue because said wardrobe accessory was tied around his neck in a stranglehold.
"Aw, forget it," he said, walking outside. He walked outside to see his guardian talking with a little girl and her mother. "Really, it's something that you don't have to worry about," the old priest told the mother as he looked down at the daughter. He rubbed her scalp as he bent down to the little girl. "You should be happy. You have your parents looking after you. If you have any trouble, ask your mommy and daddy first." The mother then bowed as she left with her daughter.
"Being an exorcist must be hard," Rin commented as he walked up to the old man. "I mean, you have to eliminate things that aren't even there." Father Fujimoto smiled. "But demons do exist, in our hearts." Rin put it off as a lie, heading off to his interview when he was stopped by the priest. "What's with the get up?" Rin looked up in the sky before answering, "The guys had found a job for me and wanted me to get ready."
"Are you going like that? Without a tie?" The boy then looked at his father. "THIS IS FASTER!" A smirk could be found on the priest's face as he looked at the boy. "You just don't know how to tie it, do you? Come here." Rin looked away in shame, though he didn't want to show it, before walking over to the man. "Raise your collar and button your shirt."
As the boy did as he was told, the old man commented that he was only growing physically. "You were so cute when you were little," Fujimoto recollected. "Screaming 'Daddy, Daddy!' all of the time." Rin scoffed. "That was ages ago. I'm a grown-up now." He watched as his father laughed, looking around and saying that he didn't see any grown-ups. Rin took all he could take before being pushed away from Shirou. "If you're so embarrassed, show me how you've grown."
Rin huffed, walking away from the old man. "Don't look down on me!" he yelled. "Open your eyes wide and look!" Shirou sweatdropped, pointing out that it was not the way the saying went. "Shut up, shitty old man."
Later on, in an office, the woman in charge was looking through Rin's files and asked him if he wanted to work after finishing middle school, to which he blushed and nervously scratched the back of his head. "I don't really like school," Rin answered. "You won't get that much of a job if you think that way in the world," she said again, the light gleaming off her glasses.
Rin agreed with her, trying his best not to get fired. "First off," she told him, leading him to the back of the store to the stock room, "you have to carry these boxes to the front of the store." Then she left, telling him to hurry it up.
The other workers took pity on the boy, not believing that he would get it done in a day when all of a sudden, Rin picked up seven of the heavy boxes and took them to the front. He did it behind the woman's back, who looked around before noticing the boy carrying the boxes. She ran after the boy, noticing that the boxes were stacked when said boy ran closer. "Oyabun, this is the last box!" he yelled before he tripped over his own feet and the object went flying in the air. Flour began falling out on top of the woman as her hands shook menacingly.
Later, Rin could be seen running with a bucket and a mop towards a faucet in the back. He then began twisting the faucet until it gave some difficulty. The boy tried to turn it even more, only for the sink to break and water to rush out in currents, hitting the boss behind Rin. Rin was then charged with collecting the shopping carts. He put them into a long line before running into the store, tripping over the doorstop. He opened one of his eyes to see that his boss was pissed.
After a brutal "talk" with the boss, Rin sat depressed by the food counter. "Maybe I'm not fit for work after all," he said, an aura of gloom surrounding him. "What's wrong, new boy? Cheer up," one of the ladies from before told him. "Here, have some." She held out a cup of fried soba, which didn't even look like it was edible. Rin ate some before recoiling in shock at the taste. "What is this!" he yelled, wanting to spit it out.
"Oyabun bought it only because it was cheap," the woman answered. Rin looked thoughtful before asking if he could cook the food. The boy then began cooking, gaining the attention from every female in the store. "It's delicious!" one of them yelled out as another commented on the smell, telling the rest of the store that it really was good. That was when the boss came up, wondering what the commotion was all about. The woman walked up to the food stand and picked up a carton of the soba and a fork to go with it before taking a bite out of it. Once the taste settled in her mouth, she told the boy not to be late for work tomorrow morning. Everyone congratulated him about the job, even those at the church.
But it was not meant to be. . . As soon as Rin got off the phone with Yukio, disaster struck as he had noticed that the little girl from before had lost her scarf. He caught it, trying to give it back when all of a sudden, he saw what appeared to be a little demon on the end of the scarf. "Nani?" he asked, the demon grabbing the scarf and running off with it.
He chased it all over the store before noticing that it had jumped over the box of drinks. Underneath, stood little Yui, not knowing what was going to happen. "WATCH OUT!" Rin yelled, grabbing the girl and protecting her from the falling cans. "Yui!" the little girl's mother called out, rushing over and noticing that she had a scratch on her temple. Rin looked shocked as he knew what this would mean.
At home, every one waited by the table as they knew that Rin was late. "I'll go look for him," Yukio told his father, standing up. One by one, the helpers got up as well, ready to go searching for the missing young boy. Rin was sitting on the swingset at the playground, contemplating what had just happened. "So, you were here after all," Yukio said, gaining his attention. Rin looked up at his younger twin brother. "Come on, everyone's waiting on you."
"How can I look everyone in the eye," Rin answered. "I got fired. 'We don't need a berserk like that again in this store!' " Yukio looked at his brother, not understanding, before asking, "What happened?" Rin shook his head, telling his brother that he didn't know either. Yukio left it at that, before the two of them walked back to the church to see a man talking to Fujimoto.
"Rin Okumura?" the man asked the boy, who nodded. "I want to thank you for protecting Yui." The girl smiled before the man commented on how careless she was. Automatically, Rin didn't like his tone of voice. "That wasn't it," Rin told her father. "She is being bullied."
"By who?" the man asked him. "I don't know. He was short and kinda looked like a monkey," Rin answered. The man grabbed Yui's arm, dragging the girl towards the streets. "When I get to the school, I'm going to make sure whoever's been hurting Yui will be severely punished." The girl tried to pull back. "It was ghosts!" the little girl cried out, getting the man to stop momentarily. "In the night, they fly up into my room and torture me. Lately last night. . ." The man stopped her abruptly, telling the priest about the girl's overactive imagination.
"It's true! Why don't you believe her?" Rin yelled at the man. "If she doesn't even have her parents, who is she going to trust?" That was when Fujimoto hit him over the head to stop him. The priest walked over to the little girl and handed her a flask containing a leaf of what looked to be like. . . "This is a four-leaf clover charm. It should protect you from the demons that haunt you." The girl looked cautious before taking it and thanked the priest. "Don't blame her. She depends on you, the parents, the most." The man looked down at the girl, who stared back up, before walking her outside. "You are a thousand years too early to scold someone," Shirou told Rin before turning back to him. "Also you will not leave the grounds for the week. Nor will you be getting any sukiyaki." When Rin began to question Shirou, the priest pulled out a list of the damaged store equipment and goods.
"NANI?" Rin yelled into the night.
Shirou opened the door to the cellar before walking down and opening a drawer. "I thought so. . . " he said. "He's starting to realize himself." Inside was a elegantly designed sword with a drawn seal over its sheath that seemed a little burned near an edge. Next to it was the design of a circle like the one from before, except that it was also burned as well, letting Shirou pick it up and look closely. An eye stared back at him, the sclera black while the iris was golden. It stared back at him menacingly, sending chills down the priest's spine as he hurriedly put the seal back into the box.
The next morning, Rin woke up, rubbing his eyes to notice that his brother had left earlier that morning, leaving a note saying that his stuff that he sent last night had arrived at the school and he was on the way to the school early to pack it up. Rin commented how heartless his brother was for not leaving him without saying goodbye and opened his window.
He yawned before looking out to see that the air was filled with little creatures. "What the hell are these things?" he asked, watching as thousands of them flew past his bedroom window. He ran outside to see the creatures flying past him and the other people, who didn't seem to notice. "Hey, Okumura!" the boy from before, who Rin punched in the face, called out. "Are you free to come out?"
Rin was about to step out when he suddenly remembered to stay inside the church. A little chicken-talk was all it took for Rin to challenge Fujimoto's word and walk outside of the church. They take Rin to an abandoned alley behind the church, where they proceeded to make fun of him and Yukio. Rin snapped as soon as something bad about Yukio came from Shiratori's mouth, punching the rich delinquent in the face. "That hurt," Shiratori commented, holding his face right where Rin punched it. "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!"
With that, his friends held Rin down as Rin noticed that the boy grew horns and a tail. No one noticed that? He asked, completely shocked as Shiratori picked up a hot metal stick and menacingly putting it near the boy's face. "Now what shall I burn?" the sadistic boy said. "Your mouth, eyes, or nose?" As the hot metal got closer, Rin yelled at the boy to stop, somehow setting himself on fire. . . blue fire. Rin looked down at his hands in shock as Shiratori's voice became deeper than it was before. "Those flames are the proof of Satan's offspring," he told Rin, walking closer to him. "I am Astaroth. Shall we go, Young Master?"
The sound of Shirou's voice praying filled the air, causing Rin and the now-identified Astaroth to look towards the voice. "You're an Exorcist!" Shiratori's body yelled out, going so far as to attack Shirou, only for the man to judo throw him above his head, inciting an incantation and expelling the demon within the boy's soul. The old man then turned to Rin, asking if he was alright. "The question is he alright?"
"He is just resting." Shirou turned his attention back to his son. "So, you can see the akumas as well, can you?" Rin nodded, causing the old man to sigh. "What are these things?" the young boy asked his father. "Coal Tar," Fujimoto answered. "They hang on to the dust around you and stay around dark places and evil humans. There is another world besides the one you know that we live in: the world of demons, Gehenna.
"They were meant to stay separate, but the demons can possess the material of this world and interact with it. They know who you are now. There will be those who will come to hunt you down. You must hide before that." Rin was still confused, and he showed it by asking the priest about demons. "What are they?" the boy asked, getting anxious. "What am I?"
"You are not a human." The words stung Rin. "You are the son born of an akuma and a human, and not just any demon. You are the son of Satan himself." Rin's eyes widened as the truth hit him, the fact that everyone called him a demon when he was little. He told them that he wasn't, but now, he wasn't so sure. The old priest gave him something: a sheet of paper with what appeared to be a crescent moon with its corners extended around a miniature sun in the middle (AN: Basically, it's the Sailor Moon crescent with a circle in the middle and prongs coming off the circle on it). "This is a summoning talisman. I want you to bite your finger and press the blood onto the middle of it." Rin did as he was asked and a puff of smoke was the product.
A fist rocketed out of the smoke and punched the priest in the gut. "Next time you decide to seal someone in a seal, get the permission to do so," the owner of the voice told the man in a monotone, yet annoyed, voice. Before Rin stood a boy maybe a year older than he was with solid black hair that fell below his waist. A little sun-mask could be found on the side of his temple, black flames surrounding it. On the mask's face, you could see the boy's annoyance. He was dressed in an open black jacket vest with t-shirt on. In the middle was the same design that was on the talisman. Black skinny jeans are what kept him from appearing in the buff, topped off by some all-black sneakers (even the soles of the shoes were black). His eyes were black as well, with golden irises (AN: The same color as the eye that stared back at Shirou before).
"Great," Shirou wheezed. "Let's go. The others at the chapel need our help." The three were running across the top of the mall, trying to escape the demons. "Namae no Nai-sama," Fujimoto called out to Kiactu. "If something were to happen to me, I want you to protect Rin and Yukio." Kiactu glared at him, still pissed off that he had the gall to lock him in that seal. "Whatever. It's not like I have a choice," the Prince of the Namae no Nai told him. "After all, I am bound to the boy until your seal is ripped, or he dies."
Kiactu jumped on the side of the railing and ran, his hands wrapped tightly around the hilt of the Knight Blade. As a demon appeared in the path, his blade flashed, cutting through it before it even had a chance to attack. Where that one fell, three took its place, causing Rin, Kiactu, and Shirou to take an alternate route and jumping over a roof. Kiactu and Shirou cleared it, but Rin almost fell off. The two before grabbed his hands and pulled him up before he could.
"There has got to be a way that we can get past these demons," Kiactu said, holding his nose. The smell of rotting corpse flesh lingered in the air as Rin took notice of the source: "Stray dogs?" The Namae no Nai shook his heads. "They're ghouls. Demons that take over dead bodies," Shirou answered. "We're lucky we're in Japan. Otherwise human-form ghouls would've showed up."
Really? Kiactu thought, the right eye on his sun-mask twitching. The country of the most suicides daily, is the one with the least human ghouls? Rin then pointed out that they were not lucky, as this situation did not count as lucky. Shirou pulled out a grenade, which Rin decided to pick up on, before activating it and throwing it towards the demons. The grenade released a torrent of water, what looked like it subdued the creatures, as a few of them were twitching.
The three raced into the doorway, Shirou leaning against it and stating how he was getting too old for protecting kids. "Who the hell are you calling a kid?" Kiactu and Rin yelled at the man at the same time. "For one, I'm older than you by. . . How long ago did time really start?" Shirou didn't listen, instead telling them to head home. They then began running down the stairs. Well, he and Rin took the stairs. Kiactu jumped over the edge, landing on the ground enough to crack it. On their way down, Rin asked Shirou what he meant by this isn't over yet.
"I told you that they'll be coming for you," the old priest told Rin, also explaining that they get rowdy in the sunset. Elsewhere, Shiratori was being questioned by the boys who decided to gang up on Rin. When they found out that he had no memories whatsoever, they tried to trick him into giving them some money. "I lent you five hundred yen for dinner, Shiratori-san!" the brunette told his friend. "I paid your doctor's fee!" the other skinny one told the boy.
"And I bought that Magical Poemy Body Pillow that you wanted oh-so-much!" the heavyset boy told him. Shiratori was about to reach into his wallet and pull out some money when he suddenly knew that two of them were screwing with him, though he didn't know the boy who had paid his doctor's bill was telling the truth. When he asked why, the brunette spoke up. "Because you wanted to start a fight with Okumura Rin!" The boy started to get angry before punching a hole in the side of the tanker and repeating the act until it was caved in on one side.
One by one, Shiratori's friends ran out of the alley, not wanting to be around the kid when he was angry. Shiratori turned back into Astaroth and walked out of the alley, wanting to see Rin yet again.
Kiactu, Shirou, and Rin made it back to the church. "You're back!" one of the church-hands called out as he watched the two before him walk into the chapel. Kiactu stayed outside, watching for anything that might try to get within the barrier. He didn't have much to do, since nothing was getting in but small fry.
"Great," he sighed. "There's nothing to do for a while." Meanwhile, inside, Rin was given a blade and told not to open it. "It seals away your demon powers. If you unsheathe it, you will no longer be human." Rin looked at the old man with a questioning gaze. "If I'm a demon, what about Yukio?" he asked. Shirou answered that his twin's body was too weak to handle the power, so it rejected him.
Meanwhile, outside the chapel, a demon's body blew apart, slashed through by Kiactu's Knight Blade. "CERO!" the Namae no Nai called out, a reddish ball of energy forming in his hand. He unleashed the pent-up energy, decimating an immense amount of energy. The attack hit the demons head on, decimating a lot of them in its wake. The church-hands watched in shock as the boy before them had taken out a vast number of demons in one attack.
"Dammit," Kiactu cursed, watching from one of the posts as he saw that his attack had only stalled the demons for a while. He then saw the one from before get hit by a truck, making the poor mortal worry before getting buried a foot into the wall. Normally, Kiactu'd be a dick and laugh, but today, after being finally released from a faulty hellhole of a seal, slapstick lost its appeal to him. Kiactu's Cursed Moon Seal had worn off, leaving him his usual self. Astaroth got into the driver's seat of the truck, ready to ram through the barrier.
"Shit!" Kiactu yelled, jumping out of the way as the vehicle headed straight for him. He slashed the tires, causing the truck to flip over. Inside the church, Rin was learning that Shirou wanted to raise him as a human and nothing else when the both of them felt the building shake as if something big had hit it.
"There you are, Young Master," Astaroth called, walking in like he did not just come out of a car crash. Kiactu appeared above him, kicking the possessed boy into the floor. The Namae no Nai then used the centrifugal force from the kick to land next to Rin. His legs were bent, arms tensed, a fierce expression on his face, which did not have the black hair nor sun-mask that Rin remember him by. Instead, his hair was silver-blond and covered his eyes, though the hanyou could tell that Kiactu was glaring at the possessed boy in front of them. His attire had changed as well.
Instead of the black he had seen the boy in, now he was wearing an all-white outfit. He had on a white t-shirt with skull designs on the front of it and white skinny jeans on as well. He had on white sneakers this time and no coat one. He also had on a white studded belt with skulls in certain areas on as well.
Astaroth extended his left hand towards Rin, catching the boy in the leg when a bucket of holy water was thrown onto his face, making the demon writhe in pain. ". . . What. . . the hell?" Kiactu asked, the cliché stereotype that all demons are powerless with holy water fresh in his mind. Apparently, everything you touch nowadays was holy. (AN: A joke we were talking about in school during lunch. Exactly, how do you get holy water?) He then noticed that Shirou was trying to hide Rin yet again, wording how he should've said things wrong.
"Go," Kiactu told the boy, pushing him from behind. "Shirou and the others will handle Astaroth. If I'm right about any demons, it's that they don't like the dawn. It takes away their powers." Shirou nodded, giving the Namae no Nai a phone. "I want you to call this number when you get as far away as possible. It's the only one in there." Must be a bitch to pay the bill, Kiactu thought, looking at the handheld device.
"Please, keep Rin safe," Shirou whispered to the Prince of the Namae no Nai, who nodded before trying to leave. When Rin was about to ask a question, Shirou pushed him down the stairs and locked the trapdoor using a prayer. "Rin, follow me," Kiactu called out to the kid, walking out of the cellar.
"This isn't over!" Rin yelled, beating on the door. Outside, the Exorcists were fighting for their lives (AN: All of it's canon. I'm not going to get into details because this chapter is long enough already.). Astaroth started to grow in size until he no longer resembled Shiratori, just a giant ogre/orc with Shiratori's clothing on. "I'll tear every single one of you apart!" the giant demon yelled. That was when he was tackled by a black blur, which tackled him into the ground.
"I am my master's Guardian. I will always obey," a creature almost as big and tall as Astaroth told the demon before punching it in the face. It was black with antennae that was bent in a straight line and had bandages around its chest (AN: Basically, Terra-Xehanort's Guardian with Neo-Shadow legs, which fit to his size, just so you know). It punched Astaroth again, making him go deeper into a crater. "I said we're not done yet, Geezer," Rin called out, Kiactu by his side with a black katana with red ridges in the Namae no Nai's hand.
"Young Master, what are you do-" Astaroth tried to get out, only for Shirou to pull his shotgun in his face and chant a prayer to banish the demon back to Gehenna. Kiactu returned the Guardian back to the Knight Blade and resealed the sword back into the storage seal on his shirt. The Namae no Nai brushed the dirt off of his sleeve while the priest ordered the rest of the Exorcists to clean up and get the car ready. Two of them rushed forward to put a seal on the boy. "Don't forget the purification rituals."
"Shouldn't we worry about their wounds?" Rin asked. "Our first and foremost priority is to get you to safety. Realize that you are the target," Shirou told the boy in a monotone voice. Kiactu picked up on something. "That playful feeling that you were displaying before. . ." he called out. "I haven't noticed it until now, but it felt fake." Rin grimaced, making Kiactu a little uneasy, though he wouldn't show it. Shirou ignored the Namae no Nai's previous statement, instead focusing on Rin's next words. "So it's my fault that we were attacked?" the boy asked. "If I leave, that would make you happy, right? So I'll leave." As the boy turned his back on Shirou, the old priest grabbed his hand.
"Let go of me!" Rin yelled at his surrogate father. "You'd throw me away anyway. You would be happy if I just left. Maybe you were just pretending to say that you wanted to be my father, or can a clergyman say that? Well then, don't ever call yourself my father near me." That was when a slap echoed across the building. Kiactu had his eyes closed, knowing that was to show the boy that he had stepped over a line in telling the priest to ever forget him. "Hurry up and pack up," the priest said to the boy, his arm still in the raised position. Rin looked shocked as his head was positioned as it was when it first got slapped.
"You overstepped your boundaries when you told him to never call himself your father," Kiactu said. "Don't you realize that he is only sending you away to protect you, not to do you any harm. Of course I may hate his guts for sealing me away, but I could never picture my son telling me to never call myself his father." The words drilled into Rin as he walked away, intending to pack up when Shirou's expression caught Kiactu's attention. The Namae no Nai drew his Knight Blade once more, knowing that the priest was being possessed. The lights shut off and the air grew cooler, making his body nervous.
"Finally, I can meet you, my son," Fujimoto's body responded, automatically letting Kiactu know that Satan now had Shirou's body. "Dammit," the ex-Prince growled before attacking. A torrent of blue flames was what stood in his way. Kiactu flew back, careful not to get burned to a crisp by the fire. The other church-hands tried to help, only to get burned as well and fell to their knees. Shirou's nose and eyes began to bleed from the God's presence in his body.
The man began pulling Shirou's pinky and ring finger off with sickening sounds as the result. Kiactu tried to get into the fight, but couldn't because the flames were circling around him. As the blood from Shirou's hands fell onto the floor, it began to pool up and made a gigantic rectangular shape beside Rin. "I am too powerful," the God of Gehenna commented. "The humans' bodies are not able to stand my presence. Just like this man's or your mother's." The rectangular shape took the form of a gate filled with the souls of the damned, like Envy's body from Full Metal Alchemist:: Brotherhood.
Rin tried to back away, trapped as the gate was complete. A pair of eyes blinked at Kiactu, who grimaced at the sight of thousands of souls begging to be released from the gates. "What is this?" Rin asked, trying his best to stay away. "The Gehenna Gate," Satan answered. "The magic gate connecting Assiah and Gehenna. Only I can summon it, since I am the god of Gehenna. Now, let's go home."
"Back away from me!" Rin yelled, his body burning in blue flames, which didn't seem to hurt him. Satan laughed before clutching his gut and pointing towards his son. "What's that? Did you wet yourself?" He grabbed the boy's arms, dragging his son to the gate and throwing him in. "Once something has been caught in the Gehenna Gate, it cannot get out." Kiactu tried to free himself once more, only for the blue flames to burn him. Dammit, he thought. It looks like I'm going to have to do this the old fashioned way.
The Namae no Nai closed his eyes and sent power to the Cursed Moon Seal, activating it and feeling his hair shorten before turning black. The mask over his eyes turned into a ball of light before flattening out and growing spikes, settling into form as the sun-mask from before. His outfit changed once again into the outfit that Rin had seen him in before.
The Namae no Nai then opened his yellow iris on black sclera eyes. He reached out a hand as black flames began to swirl around it, making it easy for Kiactu to punch the flames in front of him. The black flames ate the blue ones up, allowing the boy to step through as Shirou stabbed himself in the heart. "What a worldly priest you are," Satan commented as he felt his control over the body of Shirou Fujimoto fall. "Giving up you're life just to save my son. But you still failed. The Gehenna Gate doesn't let go of anything."
Rin had a flashback of when he was little and had beaten a boy to near death. The old man had carried him back when he was taken away. "Tou-san?" little Rin asked. "What am I? Am I the son of a demon?" Shirou smiled. "Of course not, musuko. You're a human child."
Rin reached out, grabbing his blade and taking it from it's sheath, against the orders of Shirou Fujimoto. An aura of blue surrounded the boy as his body began to transform. He still had his human features, except now he had fangs, long elven ears, and a tail. On his head were two flames that vaguely resembled horns. With a cry, Rin brought down Kurikara (which was also glowing blue with his flames) onto the Gate, melting away everything. Kiactu watched as Shirou's body was on the floor, his hair shadowing his eyes.
Rin sheathed the blade, his ears shortening while all signs of his flames were gone. His tail lay by his side as he cried over Fujimoto's body. Kiactu looked away, trying to let the boy have his moment. That was when the sound of footsteps not belonging to the other five caught his attention. Kiactu automatically shut off his connection to the Cursed Moon Seal, his body returning to its sealed state. "What happened here, nii-san?" Yukio asked, watching as his brother was standing over Shirou Fujimoto's body.
The next week, at Shirou's funeral, Kiactu stood by Rin's side. The boy was looking down at Fujimoto's grave when Kiactu rested his hand on the boy's shoulder. "I'll leave you alone. It seems you have something to do." He gave the boy the cell phone before walking away, taking a glance before walking off towards Yukio and the other Exorcists. Rin looked at the phone in his hands before flipping it open and dialing the number Shirou told him. The sound of the recipient cell phone ringing off into the air caught the boy's attention. Kiactu walked near the boy, noticing that it was ringing as well when all of a sudden, the both of them caught sight of a man in what appeared to be a German outfit that royalty wore thousands of years ago.
"Nice to meet you," said man told the boy. Kiactu heard the relapse through the phone, though Rin seemed to not notice. "I represent the head of the Japanese branch of True Cross Knight Order." The man bowed while tipping his tophat. "My name is Mephisto Pheles and I'm sorry for your father's untimely demise. I was his friend." The duo were surrounded by people in black, some posed to attack the son of Satan and the Prince. When asked if they all were Exorcists, the man nodded before telling them all about how the son of Satan was not allowed to live. Rin was given two choices by Mephisto: kill them all and run or stay and be killed. "There is also kill yourself, but that would probably fall under stay and be killed," the man told them.
Kiactu could smell demonic blood running through the man's vein and got cautious. There is no way that an actual demon would stoop to being friends with humans, after what I've seen, the Namae no Nai prince thought to himself. Rin noticed that his summon was thinking hard before answering. "I think Kiactu would want to decide." Said boy knocked the person who said those words upside the head. "We would like to make a proposition," he explained to the man. "We will become Exorcists under one condition, I am the one who will train Rin when you are not training him."
"You two. . . Exorcists?" the German demon yelled out before laughing. "What's so funny?" Kiactu asked, glaring at the man. "It's funny that the former Namae no Nai prince and the son of Satan would want to fight demons. But also, it's a brilliant idea." Mephisto began rubbing his goatee. A lightbulb went off in the demon Headmaster's brain. "Yosh! That actually may have been the best idea I have ever came up with. Satan's son fighting demons along with the Exorcists!" Kiactu glared at the man, his hands shakingly threatening to summon his Knight Blade and have his guardian kick the demon's ass all the way back to his school.
"Fine," Rin said, missing the Namae no Nai's thoughts. "We accept." Mephisto grinned at the boy. "One day, you'll look back on this day and regret not having us kill you," the demented clown called out. "I don't care," the son of Satan retorted. "I'm no longer human nor demon anymore. I have no choice than to go forward. I'll become an Exorcist!" Kiactu nodded. "As will I. If the time comes, I will even make you a permanent member of a group I'm the leader of. This will more than likely be the most fun I have ever had."
CHAPTER END
KLK: First chapter of Black and Blue Flames, complete. This story will follow the plot of Blue Exorcist to a standstill. I thought Rin Okumura would be a great KoP, since he fits the description as well: must have power that he will learn to control, loses control of it at times, born into something he didn't want, and no one knows that he is the child of the bad guy/most powerful person.
Kiactu: The pairings are listed below.
Rin/Shiemi/Izumo
Kiactu/Shura/Yuri
Shima/Paku
Bon/OC
Yukio/OC
KLK: I have not decided yet, but Yoshimori may be the next candidate for a KoP, so expect a Kekkaishi world thing when I can get to it. I may have the D2.0 create that one though. He seems to be a better writer than you people who antagonize him give him credit for. Again, I point out that if you do not have a fic, that does not give you the right to antagonize a writer who has just started out writing their fics. You guys are really lame to just leave bad reviews. And about Pokemon, who the hell's idea was it to let go of Brock? Cilan's a lot more annoying and I actually laughed many times at Brock's attempt to get a girlfriend.
