Location: dining room, old male dormitory, True Cross Academy
Time: morning, 9:15 am.
In one of the many tables in the empty dining room was sitting a dark brown haired girl. She was finishing the breakfast that Ukobach - the demon chef - had prepared for her.
"Morning." Rin entered the room sleepily scratching his head. He was still wearing his nightclothes which consisted of a black shirt and some baggy navy-blue sweatpants.
"Good morning, Rin." Chise greeted him from her seat.
The boy looked like he just noticed her presence in the room and immediately got defensive and frowned. She sighed, getting up and holding the tray with her dirty dishes and left it on the bar that connected the kitchen with the dining room. Rin watched her every move waiting for her to do something suspicious, but Chise only made her way out of the place without making eye contact.
"Where are you going?" Rin asked, making her stop a couple of steps away from him.
"I have something to do." she replied simply.
"We have a mission today." the black haired boy added quieter. "Why did I say that? Is obvious that she knows about the mission!" Rin chided himself mentally.
"I know, but it begins at twelve as I recall." the girl took out her cell phone to check the time. "Damnit, it's late." Chise muttered, walking down the hall. Rin heard her hasty steps and the sound of the closing door.
"Good morning Nii-san. Where does Kirishima-san go?" Yukio said, appearing in the hallway that the brunette just left.
"No idea." Rin replied before walking indifferent to the table where Ukobach was serving breakfast. Yukio nodded and followed him to the table.
Thus was the relationship between the three teenagers after the conversation that took almost a week ago. None of the guys talked to her more than necessary and both distrusted her. Meanwhile Chise decided that if they didn't talk to her and didn't trust in her then neither did she. Even the other exwires had noted the tension between the trio in classes. Still, Chise didn't care because in some way she was used to this kind of treat, after all it was the same she received in her last school.
Chise had been sitting for about ten minutes in the waiting area of a special hospital for exorcists located in True Cross Town. The girl let the music coming from one of her earphones distract her while she waited.
"Miss Kirishima, could you go down the examination room five, please?. The doctor will see you now." she heard the nurse announce on a speaker. She stood up and made her way to the office that she had been assigned.
When she got in, she was greeted by a young, tall and slender woman. Her red hair was tied in a high ponytail; her brown eyes were staring at her behind a pair of frameless glasses and she was wearing a white coat over her pink dress.
"Nice to meet you, you must be Chise. Come in, don't be shy." the woman said friendly, gesturing with her the examination table. Chise did as she was requested and sat obediently on the table.
"First of all my name is Kudou Mai, from now on I'll be your doctor and I want you to know that I am aware of your...condition."
"Great, another miss know-it-all that claims to understand what happens to me." the brunette thought. "Oh that's nice, you saved me the trouble of explaining everything." Chise replied bored, whirling a lock of her hair between her fingers.
"Okay, what do you say if we start with the checkup? Take off your uniform and put on that gown." the woman said, ignoring her previous remark pointing to a rack.
A couple of hours and many tests later Chise was putting on her clothes again while the redhead finished analyzing the data that she collected.
"Everything seems to be in order. Your next checkup will be in two weeks, be sure to take your meds and if you notice any inflammation or abnormality in your body come immediately." the doctor handed her a piece of paper that had written the day and time of her next appointment. Chise took it and left the room without saying a word.
"I hate tests. They draw my blood, touch me all over and write down everything they find. So disgusting." the girl thought as she walked away from the hospital.
The brunette was walking leisurely when she heard someone calling her name and waving her hand to get her attention. A girl with short blonde hair approached her; at first she didn't recognize her by her appearance so different.
"Shiemi?" Chise said totally bewildered.
Shiemi was wearing the school uniform and she really looked different on it, but in a good way. The skirt and white button down shirt suited her body nicely and accented her large breast.
"Are they...real?" Chise thought in disbelief. "We're in total different levels of maturity." she sighed downhearted.
Even when they were using the same clothes Chise didn't like how they looked on her let alone that her breasts - although they weren't small - couldn't be compared with the blonde's ones.
"Chise-chan? Are you alright?" the blonde asked with concern.
"Yeah fine, why?"
"Didn't you come from the hospital?" Izumo, the girl with the strange eyebrows asked the brunette.
Chise looked at the purple haired girl like she just noticed her presence. There was something in her that Chise dislike. "Yeah, and what's your point Kamiki?"
Izumo opened her mouth to reply but Shiemi do it instead. "Are you sick Chise-chan?"
"No, it was just a checkup. Let's get going or we'll be late." Chise replied nonchalant walking ahead of the two girls.
"Yes!" Shiemi exclaimed enthusiastic and following the brunette.
"Who does she think she is? Acting all mighty." Izumo thought, glaring dagger at Chise's back.
The three exwire girls arrived to the meeting point in the front gate of the amusement park called Mepphyland.
"Everyone is there already! Let's hurry!" Shiemi said with a huge smile on her face as she run towards the boys.
"Wai-wait!" Izumo said, running as well to catch the blonde. Chise just sighed and trotted lazily towards them.
"We're sorry! We got delayed!" the blonde girl yelled at the group of exwires and two teachers.
The first thing Chise noticed was the dumbfounded expression in the faces of all the boys - Yukio included - and inexplicably a frown made its way on the brunette's face.
"Shi-Shiemi what happened? No kimono?" Rin asked bewildered when the three girls arrived.
"Well, since my kimono wasn't really suitable for missions...the director has me provided with a uniform...we're late because Kamiki-san and Paku-san were teaching me how to use it..."
"It...It looks a bit weird, right?" Shiemi asked blushing and pulling down her skirt a little.
"It's fine! You look really cute, Moriyama-san!" Shima complemented giving thumbs up to her while Suguro nodded with a goofy expression.
Chise rolled her eyes and approached Rin who has the silliest expression she had ever seen.
"You're drooling..." Chise whispered with a sly smile.
Rin looked at her embarrassed. "Am not!"
"Indeed you are. It's pretty obvious that you like her, you know?"
"Shu-shut up!" he told her and turned to look at his twin. "What the hell...her skirt's too short. Right, Yukio?"
Yukio accommodated his glasses before he answered quietly. "Why do you need to ask me that?"
"What! It's not that you were looking at her boobs...!" Rin said in disbelief and Yukio slapped him straight in the face with the folder he was holding.
"That huuurt four eyes." Rin replied rubbing his sore face.
"Idiot..!" Chise murmured mockingly loudly enough so Rin could hear her, Rin glared at her and was about to retort when Yukio started talking.
"Alright, now that everyone has gathered, I'll be dividing you into groups of pairs. Miwa and Takara, Yamada and Suguro, Kamiki and Shima, Okumura and Moriyama." Yukio said the named and shut his folder once again.
"I'm with Rin!" Shiemi exclaimed gleefully. Rin nodded and smiled awkwardly with faint blush on his face.
"What about me, professor Okumura?" Chise asked him with a bored expression, her arms crossed over her chest loosely.
"I thought that you wouldn't come to this mission so I didn't pair you with anyone, but you can integrate to Kamiki-san's team, Kirishima-san."
"Fiiineee..."
"Why did she wouldn't come to the mission? Isn't she an exwire as well?" Rin thought, glancing at the brunette curiously.
"This time we're at...True Cross Academy's amusement park nicknamed Mepphyland, and in order to deal with the witness and damage reports of a ghost inside here, all the exwires have been recruited to find it." Yukio explained to the teens.
"Can anyone tell me the definition of ghost?" Professor Tsubaki asked, Izumo raised her hand. "...go ahead Kamiki-kun."
"Ghosts are demons who possess material objects from animal and human corpses and turn them to vapor. Naturally, their characters are influenced by the feelings that had while still in life." Izumo said with confidence.
"This ghost is the type that isn't tied down to one location, and has been witnessed all over the park. It has the appearance of a small little boy. At the moment the damage is at the extent of him yanking on people's arms and legs. Once you've divided into the pairs I juts listed, I want you to scatter until nightfall and try finding it. If you find it, call either mine or Tsubaki-sensei's mobile phone immediately. If you have any questions, please raise your hand if not you're all dismissed…!" Yukio said to his students before everyone went in different ways as he finished his speech.
The pink haired boy, the pigtailed girl and the petite brunette had been wandering the amusement park searching for the ghost but with little success.
"What a boring mission…but at least I could come." Chise thought, looking at the different attractions with little interest.
Izumo looked at the girl walking a few steps behind her and then to the pink haired boy walking beside her. "Hey…" she whispered so he was the only one to hear her.
"What's up?" he whispered back nonchalant.
"Do you know ehm…something about Kirishima? I mean, why is she here or something?" Izumo asked him.
Shima made a thinking pose and replied. "Mmm I've been trying to ask her more about herself but she refuses to answer. I just know that she got transferred by request of the principal and that she wants to be a knight, that's all. Why? Are you curious?"
"It's just that she is always acting as if she was superior to us, also if she wants to be a knight where is her sword? She's...odd." Izumo retorted annoyed.
"I don't think she's odd. Maybe she's reserved with her life…anyway she's cute so I don't mind!"
"What are those two talking about?" Chise thought, looking at her companions.
"Hey Chise-chan…did you like amusement parks?" Shima asked the brunette with a grin.
"I don't dislike them." Chise replied.
"Did you visit them often when you lived in America?"
"Yeah, when I was little I went a few times, though I couldn't ride most of the attractions."
"Why? Were you scared or something?" Izumo asked her, curiosity filling her voice.
Chise chuckled, something that surprised Shima and Izumo. "Nope, my father didn't allow me." Suddenly, a loud rumble and a short, but strong earthquake took them by surprise.
"Wha-what the hell was that?" the brunette uttered looking around.
"Are you guys alright?" Shima asked both girls.
"Yeah, where did that come from?" Izumo answered, dusting her skirt.
Chise's attention was drawn to a bright blur of blue falling from the top of the rollercoaster. "That shade of blue..." She mumbled before she sprinted to that place.
"Hey! Where are you going? Kirishima!" A baffled Izumo yelled at her sudden leave, however Chise was already far away to hear her.
At the bottom of the roller coaster she found Rin kneeling on the ground covered in blue flames and with an expression of pure frustration. He was glaring at an unknown guy with dark green hair with a pointy cowlick and wearing a gothic outfit who was a few meters away from him.
"Rin...?" the girl called him unsettled. The boy turned to her and noticed her troubled expression.
Chise had never seen anything like him before. Blue flames covered his body, he had demonic features like a black, furry tail, long pointed ears and sharp fangs. Rin didn't look anything like the boy she had met days ago, at that moment he looked dangerous and threatening, but she wasn't afraid.
Chise sighed and shouted at the stranger before her. "Hey you! Pointy-head! Who are you? and what do you think you're doing?"
"Name's Amaimon, the Earth King." The green-haired boy bowed his head as if showing respect. "And what I'm doing, you say...? I'm just playing around." He replied monotonous.
"Playing..." she muttered non-plussed. Her violet-blue eyes narrowed.
"Damn! Get out of here Chise! This is none of your business, that guy is dangerous!" Rin snapped at her trying to get her away.
Chise just looked straight at his eyes startling him. Her violet-blue eyes looked unwavering and her voice was firm when she spoke. "Don't boss me. Look at you, pathetic."
"Who the hell looks pathetic?" Rin exclaimed clearly pissed off.
"You, obviously." Chise said matter-of-fact. "Pointy-head! If you want to play then let's play!" she yelled at Amaimon in a challenging tone.
The brunette clapped her hands before doing four hand seals quickly and extended the palm of her left hand in front of her. The hilt of a sword began to emerge from the girl's hand, with her right hand she took the hilt and pulled out a long katana with a swift motion.
"Well? Do you still wanna play?" Chise said arrogant, pointing at the demon king with her weapon.
Amaimon launched to attack her with Rin's sword. The black haired boy looked alarmed but saw that Chise had a wicked smirk dangling on her pale lips.
The demon king striked the girl with the black haired boy's sword, but she managed to block it with her own. Chise pushed him away and tried to pierce a vital spot, unfortunately he realized what she intended just in time and jumped backwards several feet.
"Damnit I thought I have him!" Chise muttered annoyed and launched towards the green-haired boy. She threw several blows at him, although none of them hit the target as Amaimon continued blocking and dodging each one of them.
Suddenly, the demon king took a hold of the girl's blade and hurled her as if she was weightless. Chise flew a few meters backwards before she buried her sword in the concrete floor and nailed her to stop flying without control. The brunette felt her legs wobble for the strength she used to stop her movement. She took out her katana from the floor aggressively, her face had a scowl. She was getting more and more annoyed by the second.
"He's really a hassle...Maybe it's time to use it." Chise held her katana before her face and mumbled. "Tsukuyomi demon blade - New Moon."
"What happen human-san? Are you tired? How boring!" Amaimon said when he noticed that she wasn't chasing him.
Out of a sudden, the katana's blade started to turn pitch black. She adopted a fighting stance and leapt a distance of twenty feet towards the green-haired demon.
"Tired...? How could I be tired? I was just warming up." she replied cocky, punching him straight on the face and kicking him on the stomach. Amaimon moved backwards, but judging by his expression he didn't feel the hits at all. "Human-san became really strong!" the demon king exclaimed excited.
"...how could she jump that distance?" Rin wondered amazed at Chise's new acquired ability.
The girl attacked Amaimon without rest and even when her blows seemed to be effective and powerful she just could made some scratches and rip the clothes of her opponent.
"I have to hurry. I don't know how much time I could handle this technique." She thought, huffing and puffing of tiredness.
At some point in the fight Chise saw a blind spot in Amaimon's defense and took advantage of it. The blade of her sword cut the right cheek of the devil. Amaimon put his hand over the wound and felt the blood moistening his fingers. "A point for you human-san..." he began to say without a hint of humor.
Amaimon appeared suddenly in front of her startling her and kicked her hard in the chest sending her flying into a pile of debris from the collapsed roller coaster. She crashed onto them and felt something got into her. Rin had a look of horror when he saw an iron tube piercing her left side. The girl was unconscious, blood flowed from her wound staining her white shirt.
"...and a point for me." Amaimon finished his sentence with a wry smile.
Seeing that the girl didn't move Rin felt anger boiling within him. Maybe Chise wasn't the nicest person, but she tried to help him and now she unconscious or worst...dead. He was gradually losing his auto-control, letting his blue flames intensified and his demonic side emerge and.
Rin stood up clumsily and approached a distracted Amaimon dealing a blow straight to his face, the black haired demon used such force that launched the demon king to the other side of the roller coaster and followed him to continue their quarrel.
After a few minutes Chise woke up, her head pounded like hell and she felt a strange pressure on her belly. She scanned the area and noticed that none of the demons were nearby.
"Tch, I fainted." She tried to stand up, but something prevented her to do so. Her hands traveled to her belly and found an iron bar stuck on her left side.
"That explains the pressure. Oh fantastic, now I have to go to the hospital again." Ever so carefully she held the iron bar and moved it slightly so she was able stand up. Chise searched her katana and found it a few meters away from her impact place; she picked it up and kept it again in her left hand. A bright blue light appeared before her eyes, it came from the other side of the fence in front of her.
With awkward steps she walked to the fence and saw an exhausted Rin kneeling in front of the green-haired demon king.
"Are you already done? How boring…now that you've become like this, shall we break your sword?" Amaimon said, looking at Rin's katana.
"Wh-what are you?" the black haired demon said frightened.
Luckily for Rin, Takara appeared just in time and attacked the demon king with a sword in hand. Chise took this opportunity to approach Rin.
"But, what the hell happened to you?" She said, standing behind him.
"Chise!" the black haired boy had a stricken expression when he saw her. She was extremely pale, her shirt was bloodstained and an iron bar passed through her body.
"What?" she replied nonchalant, her violet-blue eyes met Rin's blue ones and he saw how calm the girl was.
"You...you're alive!" he exclaimed, relief filling his voice.
"Thanks for stating the obvious, genius." She rolled her eyes at his statement.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Rin asked her, worried at her calm expression.
"What?...Oh this? I forgot I had it." She knelt at the boy's side and started to remove the iron bar from her body.
"What the hell do you think you're doing? You're worsening the wound, idiot!" Rin held her bloody hands to prevent that she continued what she was doing.
Chise gently withdrew her hands and told him with a small smile. "Don't worry I'm fine, I can't feel pain." After saying this she pulled the piece of metal from her body and threw it aside. Rin looked at her in disbelief; she didn't even flinch or blinked while doing so.
"You're a hindrance." Both teens heard Amaimon said in annoyance.
"Yer the hindrance." Takara responded, adopting a fighting stance.
The green haired demon looked dully at Rin and Chise. "So it's over after all. Another time, perhaps…" he sheathed Kurikara and threw it at Rin.
"Hey wait!...tch he was just friggin' playing…! Oi!...they'll be gathering here soon! You gotta cover your tail! And you girl, apply pressure to the wound if yer don't want to die of blood loose!" Takara yelled in a rather girlish voice before running to catch Amaimon.
Chise sighed, taking off her tie and tied it around her belly tightly to stop the bleeding. Rin remained silent, lost in his thoughts with a distress face.
"Rin!" the black haired boy and the brunette looked at the source of the voice and saw Shiemi running towards them. "What happened?" the blonde knelt and put softly her hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" He snapped and shoved her abruptly.
"…what's wrong..?" Shiemi asked concerned.
"Don't be a jerk! You'll worry her." Chise mumbled in Rin's ear. The boy felt extremely bad when he heard the brunette and saw Shiemi's startled face. "Ah...It's...I'm sorry. It's nothing. Aside from that, were you okay? What happened with that kid?" he said more quietly.
Chise's attention drifted from the conversation beside her and focused at her bloodstained shirt. "At times like this…I'm relieved to be insensitive. Perhaps, after all I'm just a freak."
"Chise-chan, you're bleeding!" Shiemi's panicked voice distracted Chise from her thoughts and made her turn her face to the blonde.
"it's…it's just a scratch, nothing serious." Chise replied with a fake smile and put her left hand over her wound to cover it.
"She's hurt because of me…" Rin thought feeling guilty. "If I had finished quickly the fight with Amaimon she wouldn't be so beaten."
"Shiemi-san!" Yukio's voice reached the three teen ears.
"Yuki-chan…!" Shiemi stood up and run towards the younger Okumura. "Yuki-chan…Rin and Chise-chan are hurt!"
"Nii-san…what happened? Kirishima-san…are you okay?" Yukio said disturbed at his students appearance.
Out of nowhere Takara came out giving Rin his sword. "Yer slow, Yukio. 'Cause yer so slow I was forced to make my move. Long time no see, by the way that doll needs a doctor." The hooded boy said pointing with his thumb to Chise. Yukio was dumbfounded when he heard his voice.
The boy took off his black hoddie, revealing a woman with red and blonde hair. "Well, whatever. I've gotten tired of lookin' like this. I'm Kirigakure Shura, n upper first class exorcist. I was dispatched by the True Cross Vatican Headquarters to investigate the existence of the Japanese Branch's risk factor...in other words, I'm a senior inspector."
