The demon growled at the girl now surrounded by flames. It started charging at Tenshi with lots of confidence that it could kill the girl, a descendant of Satan. Tenshi growled back at it and swung the sword at the demon, really wishing that her Father and Uncle were at home instead of at the store.
Rin looked up from the checkout line at the grocery store, seeing the flames. Fear filled his body, seeing them from a block away. He runs out of the store and bolt down the sidewalk, leaving Yukio to finish shopping.
Tenshi looked at herself, holding the sword. The blue flames creating horns on top of her head, her ears had pointed and her nails grew. She turned, continuing to look at herself in the mirror that the demon had shattered. A demonic tail appeared behind her, the black fuzz neatly groomed.
Rin ran around the corner of the building, looking at his daughter and cursing silently to himself. He ran up to her. "I love you so much." He kissed her forehead and grabbed the sword from her hand and held it up to the demon, threatening its life. It had tried to kill his little girl. Rin's fatherly instincts kicked in, as well as his exorcist training. Tenshi watched as her father attacked the Class Three demon. He seemed to kill it easily, but he had the same blue flames that she did. Her flames slowly died down as tears collected in her eyes. She moved her hand to cover and out firm pressure on her arm. Rin sheathed the sword, his flames disappearing instantly. He walked over to Tenshi and looked down at her holding her arm as the blood oozed from underneath her hand. "Stay here." He said and walked away slightly to call Yukio. A tear falls from the young woman's face as she looked at her bruised face in the broken glass. Who was she? She sat down against the foundation of her house as Rin hung up the phone and walked back over to her. He sat down and pulled her into a hug.
Tenshi leaned against her father another tear rolling down her soft face. Yukio ran up from around the building. "What happened?" He asked, kneeling down next to his injured niece.
"A Class three demon attacked." Rin said, keeping it short and simple getting straight down to the point. "She opened the sword." He looked up to meet Yukio's eyes. "We have to tell her." Rin was almost silent as a tear fell from his face. He quickly pulled himself together by turning away from his daughter to wipe away his tears. Yukio sighed and started caring for Tenshi's wound.
"I know Rin." Yukio looked up at his niece. "You know who Satan is right?" He asked. Tenshi nodded her head, most of her bruises had disappeared and her cuts were smaller.
Rin ran his hands through her hair. "Well, the blue flames are a sign of Satan and this shows that you also inherited his powers." He looks at her with the saddest look Tenshi had ever seen on his face.
"I…." Tenshi paused and looked away. "You mean to say that the person we are trying to kill, that we have been trying to kill for years, is related to me?" She asked, still not meeting either her father's or her uncle's gaze. She sighed and slowly brought her eyes up to meet her father's. "How close?"
"Well," Rin started, sighing. "My father is Satan." He looked away not wanting to continue talking about the current subject that they were on.
Shock filled the young woman's features; her eyes widened, her mouth gaping open and her now pointed ears seemed to shift back slightly. "So…" She looked Yukio before looking back at Rin. "You mean…?" She trailed off, not wanting to say anything.
Yukio looked at Tenshi. "We have to go to the school. Your wounds are deep and they will need a bit of help to heal." He stood up. "We can talk about this matter at a later time." He looked around at the dark alley way the tree of them sat in. "More must be coming."
"T-the True Cross Academy?" Tenshi stuttered. It had been her dream since she was little, like in her flashback.
Rin helped Tenshi stand up and walk to the street. Tenshi accepted the help even though nothing was wrong with her legs, they were shaky and it made her nervous to walk on her own. "Yes." Rin said, answering her question like it was nothing. "But only if you still want to be an exorcist." His eyes met hers. "If you don't, then we will keep you in hiding." His voice sounded dark as he pulled out his phone and calls a number that was on speed-dial.
"Of course I want to be an exorcist!" She raised her voice slightly as if surprised the Rin would ask such a question. Memories filled her mind of when Rin would yell at her when she would 'play' target practice with the kitchen knives behind their house. She had used the excuse that she needed to train to get into the True Cross Academy's Cram School, or the school for exorcists as other people knew it as. The only reason Tenshi knew it as the Cram School, is because both Rin and Yukio work in the Cram School.
A pink limousine pulled up shortly after Rin had hung up the phone. It stopped right in front of their nearly destroyed house.
"Mephisto is in this car and he's going to take you to the True Cross." Rin explained. "Yukio and I are going to make sure nothing is following you." He looked into Tenshi's eyes. "Do exactly as Mephisto says." He opened the door and told a few instructions to the headmaster of the Academy before helping Tenshi in the large car.
She looked at the headmaster as she sat down. "H-hello sir." She stuttered slightly due to nervousness. Her dream was coming true and it was all happening a bit too fast for Tenshi's liking.
"Hello!" he smiled and waved slightly. "I'm Mephisto!" he said, cheerily as he introduced himself. "Today you are going to be my new student at my school." He smiled wickedly at her, his demonic fangs showing. "Here is your uniform. You will need to change before we get there." He chuckled in his maniacal laughter. "I won't peak" He spoke in a low voice, barely loud enough for Tenshi to hear. "But, I won't make any promises."
Tenshi looked at him. "O-of course sir." She undressed, not completely. Everything important was covered but Mephisto caught a glimpse on just how strong this young girl was. A six-pack sat perfectly formed on her abdomen and her curves were in all the right places. She quickly put the uniform on and tightened the tie that accompanied it. She tightened it to the point where it wasn't choking her but it wasn't too loose. She ran her fingers through her black hair and tied half of it back.
"Very good. It seems Rin raised you to follow my instructions." He smirks. "Plus you're cute; too bad we are almost there." He motioned out of the window. "We are now passing by my beautiful school."
Tenshi looked out the window, looking out at the huge school. "It's gorgeous sir." She smiled. The uniform tightly fit her and showed a lot of skin, but if it is what Mephisto wished, she had to follow them.
"Of course it is! It is my school after all." He laughed again. Tenshi chuckled slightly. His outgoing nature made her smile. She looked back down at her arm, expecting to see a wound, but it was nearly completely healed. She stared at it mesmerized. "Okay." Mephisto said, snapping Tenshi out of her thoughts. "This is our stop." Tenshi looked out of the window, seeing that they were at the front gate. She stood up and stepped out of the limousine. She looked around at the extremely large school. "What do you want your main major to be?"
"I want to be like my father and uncle." Tenshi said, turning around to look up at him. "So exorcism."
"Of course!" He chuckled. "Just checking." His chuckle turned into a laugh. "Go look around the campus and I will find you later to show you your classes."
"O-ok sir. Thank you." She said, looking around and slowly taking her first steps onto the campus. Mephisto looked at the ground before awkwardly running away. Tenshi's dream high school, True Cross Academy, is not expecting what this new student has in store for them.
Let me know if you want me to continue! Thanks for reading!
