~Another Day~
As morning came the sun shown down through the curtains hitting Rin's face, causing him to stir in his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes adjusting to the light rubbing his eyes, he patted the other side of the bed already anticipating that there wasn't going to be anybody there. He sighed and heaved himself up on the bed leaning against the bed board.
Lifting his feet out of bed he had suddenly got a waft of bacon coming from down stairs. Now this was something he looked forward to every morning. Quickly jumping out of bed rushing down stairs, he step lightly as he was getting closer to the kitchen. He found his wife slaving away over the stove unaware of her surroundings, slowly creeping up behind her. He could hear her soft humming while she was flipping bacon. He smirked evilly.
Only a couple of feet away from her she flipped the bacon in the pan skillfully. Reaching for a plate she slid the bacon on top. Happily she reached her hand over to grab another slice of bacon to put on the pan. But before she could garb the meat she felt her sides being grab onto she shirked in around to find her husband smiling down at her, she relaxed a little in his arms but not before feeling really embarrassed then to anger.
"Rin don't go scaring people so early in the morning." She said as she pouted a little. Rin couldn't help but chuckle she was being so cute. He lowered his head to peck her on the cheek. She smiled. She still couldn't help the on coming blush creeping onto her face. Even after all these years she still wasn't use to this, but she was happy nonetheless.
"Here let me take care of the rest you can set the table up." He grabbed the spatula out of her hand twirling her around to the other side of the stove. He placed another slice of bacon on the pan hearing the sound of it sizzling he flipped it a couple of times before adding in an egg on the side.
She watched Rin skillfully flip the bacon and egg into the pan, she was always amazed at how amazing of a cook Rin was. She was good too with the practice she has been doing over the years but never as good Rin was like a chef master.
She complied with Rin's order and started setting up the table. By the time Shiemi was done setting up the table Rin had just finished their breakfast. Placing the food down they had sat across from each other giving grace.
" Oh! I almost forgot the juice." Shiemi got up and ran to the refrigerator and pulled out some orange juice and two glasses from the cabinet. Placing one down for Rin she poured him a glass along with herself. Sitting back down they finally dig into their delicious food. When a thought had popped into Shiemi mind.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot how was work yesterday?" Taking a bite out of her egg. Rin stopped eating to think on how to answer her question.
"Well it was pretty normal, we had hunt down the demon and killed it nothing new there. But it did give us a run for our money, we were on the chase the whole day. It tried to bite Simon's head off that was hilarious, he freaked out like a little girl." Rin laughed at the memory. Thinking about what else had happened that day. Until he had remembered something he wanted to ask her about.
" I also had invited Simon over for dinner, but it had already gotten so late and I didn't ask you ahead of time." At that Shiemi had lift her head up with her cheeks full of food and nodding her head. Making an agreeing noise through her mouth. Rin submit the urge to laugh out loud at how ridiculous she looked right now. Swallowing down the food she wiped her face clean of any evidence of food there flashing him a huge smile that warmed his heart.
" Sure I don't mind the more the merrier. Besides its been awhile since I've last seen him, it'd be nice to have him over for dinner. " She said.
" Well then its settled I'll invite him over for dinner tonight. " Finishing up the last little bit of food chugging the rest of his orang juice.
He picked up his plate and glass and placed it in the sink placing another kiss on his wife he rushed up stairs to get ready for work.
Shiemi had finished hers not too long ago cleaning up the table and washing the dishes. Placing the cups and plates in the cabinets she walked out of the kitchen to meet her husband already ready to leave for the day.
"Please be safe out there okay, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you." She stepped on her tippy toes to place a small kiss on his lips and he returned the favor and smiled.
" Hey, this is me we're talking about don't worry so much. " He strapped his sward over his shoulders slipping into his combat boots. " I'll be back soon." With that note he walked out of the door waving goodbye to Shiemi. Mimicking his actions she watched him leave in his jeep and sighed a little.
" That's why I'm worry because I know it is you." Gazing into the distance of the car Rin had drove away in. Stepping back into the house she locked the door behind her heading up stairs to change out of her clothes.
"Okay! lets start on the chorus for today, then well start gardening." She skipped to the closet to grab her clothes, she was going to take a shower first then go shopping for dinner tonight.
After that she'll start on cleaning the house, there wasn't much to do so it shouldn't take her that long. Do a little gardening then prepare for dinner all should be done by the time Rin comes back home.
She was on a tight schedule so there wasn't anytime to be wasting. She wrote down on a piece of all the things she needed to do today so she wont forget. With that last thought she headed to the shower to start preparing for the day.
As the wind blew through his hair. Rin had pulled up to the facility coming to a stop at the front gate to see a women posted at the left side of it.
"Hello may I have your ID number sir?" Rin poked his head out the window some to tell her his number. She leaned in as well to hear him correctly.
" Its 15976833 " she typed it into her computer and smiled. She pressed the button to the side of her to open up the gates giving him full access inside.
"Have a nice day Mr. Okumura " was the last thing he heard from the women before he drove off. He honestly couldn't understand how his new system worked due to the fact that they had took his ID. For clarification he had to give out sensitive information out loud and if that wasn't dangerous enough what would happen if he had forgot his ID number what would they do then.
But all those thought were shot down because he already knew the answer to them all. If the employee had by mistake forgotten his ID number then all you need to do is just give out your name and status and your picture would have pulled up on their computer. That also goes for identity theft as well.
Rin groaned it was still an inconvenience but he realize this was one battle he wasn't going to fight. Ironic right?
Pulling up into the drive way he parked his car in the farthest spot to avoid any accidents with his other employees. Even in this day and time there were still those out there who didn't trust him. Considering he was the son of-
"Good morning Sir" Rin's thoughts were interrupted by a cheery shout from across the parking lot to find out that it was his happy-go-lucky partner. Rin smiled and jogged towards him and patted him on the back.
"Morning Simon, you seem cheery this morning what's gotten into you?" Rin asked as they were making their way to HQ. But Simon gave him a confused look.
"Sir I'm like this every morning " As they made it to the small building. Simon opened the door for him and his partner, stepping through they walked up to the elevator and pressed down on the elevator button.
"Oh, I haven't noticed before" Simon gave him a dumbfounded face. Rin just shrugged his shoulders as the elevator doors open they stepped though as it closed behind them.
"But sir we've been together for so long now and you haven't taken noticed of that?" Simon couldn't believe it, He's always greeted his partner with a smile everyday. Rin scoffed and gave him an equally confused face.
"Says the one who still hasn't addressed me by my first name yet." Simon's eyes widen at his sudden defense then slouched against the wall, he did have a point he was in no place to talk or complain. Victorious Rin leaned against the wall next to his partner and grinned.
"I'm just messing with you I know your always like that, there's not a day when your not positive, so cheer up man. " Simon felt embarrassed of course it was a joke. Simon chuckled at his own naivete they stood up straight when the elevator doors opened heading straight to the concession stand where they had left their ID's last.
To find the same man they had saw yesterday typing away on his computer.
"Hello we're here to collect our ID's for todays mission." Simon said catching the boys attention.
"Please state your names and ID number." Simon was the first to answer.
"Simon Erskine and my ID number is 49682415." The man typed down his information and reached into the draw underneath his desk and pulled out his ID placing it on the counter.
"Your currency has been placed into your checking's account thank you for your services." Simon nodded stepping back for his partner to give the young man his information as well.
"Rin Okumura my ID number is 15976833." Repeating the same action he handed Rin his ID.
"Your currency has been placed into your checking's account thank you for your services." He said with an monotone voice and pointed to the door behind them.
"Your next mission should be posted on the board over there have a nice day. " He went back to typing away on his computer as if they weren't even there to begin with. Rin made an irritated sound at the man he was about to say something about his attitude until Simon had pulled him back towards the board.
"Thank you well be heading out then." Simon smiled at the young man dragging his partner along while Rin was glaring daggers at the guy. Simon rolled his eyes looking at the board to see if they had a mission today, he had spotted a case given to them.
"It seems like we have a mission today, but this one seems some what different then the other missions we've done in the past though. " Simon tore the piece of paper of the Mission board to examine it closer piquing Rin interest now he turn to get a closer look at it too.
"It seems we're hunting down a Tamer." Simon said surprisingly.
Rin raised a brow at this of all things Mephisto had them do this one was strange. Simon handed him the paper to get a better look at their peculiar mission.
"It says here that there were reports of a mysterious figure on sight and is considerably dangerous." Rin read out loud. Simon looked at his partner in concern.
"Sir maybe we should reconsider doing this mission I know under jurisdiction that we swore to eliminate all threats but... this one seems out of our league here." Simon said anxious.
Rin huffed in frustration, he really couldn't blame the guy he was always like this so preciouses but thats one of the traits he really admires about his partner. But at times it would presume to be unnecessary and even cowardly, as much as Rin would like to help his partner out of that state of mind, it was needed. It was like that yin and yang thing they may be complete opposites but they help balance each other out making it tranquil.
"Alright Simons if your hesitant about this then I guess we can reconsider it but we wont be getting paid today." He stated a matter of factly as he pinned the mission back on the board.
Simon smiled and nodded his head knowingly. Rin walked back to the elevator heading out the HQ consession Simon followed suite.
As they both walked out of the building Rin had remembered what he had wanted to ask Simon about he aburtily stopped in place making Simon stop as well.
"Whats wrong sir? did you forget something?" Rin shook his head and smiled.
"No more like I just remembered something. " Simon cocked his head to the side wondering what he was talking about.
Rin started towards his car again and Simons wasnt sure what to do he was getting mixed signals from the him but still trailed behind him slowly. As they made it to the car, Rin unlocked the door and hoped in.
Starting up the car he looked down at his clueless partner and chuckled.
"What are you doing get in." He raised a brow at his comand. Why would he do that? were they going somewhere special?
"Sir are you okay? you've been acting vary strange shall I go get some water for you?"
"No, Simon we're going to my place for dinner though it would be a little later then planned since we're not working today but I'm sure we could think of something to do when we get there." Then it suddenly hit him last night Rin had invited him over for dinner.
Suddenly smileing as bright as day Simon walked around to the passengers side hoping into Rin's jeep fasening his seat belt all in the same process.
"Ready when you are sir." Rin nodded and started the engine driving off to his house.
"We should get there in no time, so sit back and enjoy the rid." As Rin pulled out the parking lot making his way to his house. They made small chat during the rid remembering their older days working as partners. Rin kept teasing Simon about how nervous he was on their first mission together. Making them both laugh at the memory.
Jumping out the car Rin was the first to make it up to the door as he was about to put the key in the doorknob he noticed that the door was already open. He made a confused face Shiemi wouldn't have forgotten to lock the door behind her. Something was off and Rin didn't feel comfortable with it. Simon walking up behind Rin he gave him a questionable look as to why he didn't enter his house.
"Sir is there a problem?" Rin didn't reply only making a hush sound through his mouth as he crept through the door silently. Rin grabbed the hilt of his sword checking his surrounding for any possibly threat. Getting closer into the scene his heart dropped at the sight of blood trailing up stairs. Rin frowned.
"Simon you stay down here on guard, we still don't know what did this." Simon nodded pulling out his gun backing up his partner.
Rin made his way upstairs following the trail of blood. Ending in front of their master bedroom, bracing himself for what he was about to see he slowly pushed the door open creaking sounds were heard from the doors hinges. Coming into full light to a completely destroyed room.
The bed was shredded to pieces along with their beautifully decorated sheets. Blood splattered on the wall. The mirror shattered, dresser thrown into the wall, and their wedding picture ripped into two. But that wasn't the biggest thing on his mind at the moment.
Rin stepped closer towards the blood on the wall getting a whiff of the blood. The blood didn't belong to Shiemi it smelt more like a demons blood. That made his mind feel at ease but just a bit. The question still stand on what happened here? and where is his wife?
"Sir come down here I think you need to see this." Simons shouted from the first floor. turning on his heel Rin ran downstairs to see what his partner found.
"The culprit left a message here for you." He pointed towards the kitchen blood smeared all over their cabinets, table, and fridge making out to be a code.
"It seems like coordinates to some off distance place but I don't understand it." Rin pressed his hand on it bringing it up to his nose Iron could be interpreter in the blood but not only that also a weird scent he had smelt before.
"The code is made up of numbers and letters." Rin shook his head and pointed at the description.
"It the binary code system aka the base 2 it represents values using two symbols, typically 0 and 1. Computers call it bits, a bit is usually off by 0 or 1 when arrange in bits of 8. 1 byte is a value of 256 it can also be represented as 0-255." Rin stated as he pointed to the double digit numbers on the wall.
"These values can be mapped out by characters and text, its not magic it just math." Simon stood there astound on how much his partner knew about coding it made him a little intimidating but Simon couldn't be any prouder Rin truly worked hard for his position as the top exorcist.
"See...F...O...R...E...S...T." Suddenly it hit him that smell lingering in the blood he knew he smelt it before. During spring in a small area in the forest...the little boy he had met there.
"Simon I think I know who did this." Simon smiled.
"Great lets call head quarters and report what happened here then-" Simon was stop by his partners hand he looked serious.
"No, Simon I think the person who did this might be the Tamer that's causing trouble. You stay here just incase something else happens to me, I don't want you to get involve he wants me after all." Pulling back Rin walked straight past his partner with determination in his eyes.
Simon looked concerned he just could let his partner do this alone. " But sir I-"
"If I don't come back don't go looking for me either, I know how you are Simon." Simons frowned at his suggestion but Rin only smiled back.
"Don't look like that I promise I'll be back...count on it."
Leaving that on one last note he clenched his fist getting ready for the real battle.
"Because this bastard is going to be in for one hell of a fight."
