A/N: So this is chapter four, I'm really glad to have gotten this far! Most of my inspiration comes from reviews, but also from music! Please excuse me for not knowing the true depths of Romance, maybe I will someday… -sigh- I'm trying! I hope to keep getting reviews, they make me sooo happy! :)
So God Bless all who review… - Epic stare -
I've decided to put a bit about me in front of each chapter, just because this story reflects me…(lol you don't have to read this, this is just for my peace of mind...)
I'm just sitting here peacefully, and I'm thinking. Thinking of where this should go. I wrote down a plot, and woah, there are so many possibilities!
Serously, in a fan fic, ANYTHING could happen.
Which kinda scares me. ...
Oh, just saying, while writing this chapter, I've had to pause quite a few times and look back and be like "WHAT?" and re write it and then be like "HOLY FREAKING GOD, WTF" and then stop to think about what I'm actually writing, and then be like "SCREW THIS, I'M GETTING FOOD." And then moments later….EUREKA! Inspiration hits me. There was one point when I left for just a second and I forgot my *brilliant* idea… (lol jk I'm not brilliant…) and I got SO mad! So I re-watched the anime for more inspiration (This time, inspiration that actually made sense.)
Hopefully, this will be a more sensible chapter.
Then again, I'm writing this while eating a jar of Nutella…..
BY THE WAY If you get the chance then check out this story I like by goodnightsun called " Moonless Banquet " It's a Blue Exorcist fic combined with our humor, so yeah, I find it hilarious! XD
DISCLAIMER – I do NOT own Blue Exorcist!
Chapter Four: Fight In Assiah, Over to Gehenna.
The sky proved to be dark and melancholic, except for the clouds that were contrasted and illuminated by pale, silvery light. The skeletal haze was whisked away by a feeble wind. Shining stars marked themselves as countless, flickering pieces of iridescence. The crescent moon was no longer eclipsed. It gave off an alluring radiance, brightening the midnight sky. The crescent slashed its blade deep into the dark of night.
Amaimon quietly jumped, making his blood red, webbed cloak glide behind him through the air as he landed in a silhouetted tree. Rin had looked up for a second, hearing the tree make a rustle, but then just shrugged it off and continued walking with Ame in hand.
Amaimon wouldn't let Rin get away. Using his earth powers, he raised a stone-like barrier out of the ground, stopping a shocked Rin in his tracks. Amaimon took this as a chance to kick and attack Rin from behind, stealing Ame in the process.
"WHAT THE-" Rin swiftly whirled backward to notice a snickering Amaimon, holding his Ame.
Did Rin just mentally call Ame his? He'd wonder about that later, now was not the time!
"Let go of her!" Rin warned, bearing his demonic teeth.
"Maybe I should make her my bride…" Amaimon imagined, putting his hand on his face like he was thinking, and earning a growl from Rin.
"Quit screwing with me!" Rin yelled. His voice had an edge of danger, threat.
"I should be the one to say that." Amaimon proclaimed with a definite expression. He pointed a finger at Rin, and suddenly a strong gust of wind pushed him a good twenty feet away.
That was it. Rin wasn't going to tolerate this anymore. He wasn't going to let anyone else he loved get hurt.
He drew his double edged sword, Kurikara.
Rin's flames arose instantly. His ears grew long and spikey, as well as his teeth. A fringed black tail had appeared, coming out of its hiding under Rin's shirt, and the rumpled end was cast with a blazing kindle of fire. Electric blue sparks swept and blew all around them, and shined with a deadly impact as it scarred the sky with burning flare.
"Now this is fun." Amaimon said, beholding this as an airy "game". He jumped backward, elevated into the air, Ame being squeezed, almost embraced in one arm, while he manipulated his demon powers with the other. He held her like a possession.
Rin reached after Amaimon. Just as he was about to stab his sword into Amaimon's chest, Amaimon held Ame in front of him.
"Don't want to hurt your dear girlfriend, do you?" He teased, the words spoken sourly off his tongue. (A/N: That's weird, because Amaimon's got a sweet tooth…)
Neither Amaimon nor Rin noticed, but Ame had slightly gotten burned. She couldn't feel it, but the damage would have been crucifying if she could.
Rin was getting extremely pissed off. Amaimon didn't have any right to bring Ame into this!
Ame had been made unconscious by some spell Amaimon used to keep her somnolent, numb, and indifferent of her surroundings.
Rin slashed his Kurikara blade crosswise, having a plan. He swept his sword below himself so it would sever at Amaimons legs, knocking him off balance. They remained in the air, engulfed in Rin's fierce, feral flames.
Amaimon didn't let go of Ame, he clutched onto her tightly. He was indeed knocked off balance, but he brought himself back on track by yanking at Rin's exposed tail.
"OW!" Rin cried in pain.
He doesn't know that the tail is a demon's weak point? He's got a lot to learn. Amaimon thought.
That cry was loud, and Ame's eyes slightly opened, being just narrow slits. Had she regained herself? She felt like she was being held, which she was. All she could see was Rin's face through transparent blue flames. The sight was too bright, and frightening. Her eyes closed once more, weak and helpless. What was happening? Once again, she saw black, and dissolved back into her own bitter darkness.
Rin could have sworn that through all those flames, he had seen a glimmer of familiar emerald. That calmed him down a bit, but then he remembered Ame, and shot forward with bullet speed.
Rin tried prying Ame out of Amaimon's arms, but failed when Amaimon punched him in the face.
Amaimon gracefully landed back on his two feet, covered in ashes and burns. Rin descent the sky, falling onto the ground. As soon as he diminished, he struggled, but then sprung back up again.
This wasn't over.
Rin's flames became bigger, brighter. The advanced flames whipped and tore throughout the night sky, making swirls above the moon.
"Oh, such pretty flames." Amaimon complimented, with heavy sarcasm.
Like father's. He noted.
Rin's flames were not as pretty as they were deadly, and Amaimon knew he had to be careful.
"Oi, aren't you going to fight? Isn't this girl important to you?" Amamimon provoked.
Rin again tried to hit Amaimon, but he failed when Amaimon grabbed the blade of his sword as if it were just some toy.
Amaimon did a back-flip in mid air, avoiding Rin's attacks.
"GET BACK HERE, YOU BROCOLLI!" Rin growled, going after Amaimon.
"Aww, don't be mad, blueberry." Amaimon smirked while ruffling Rin's hair.
Rin's response? His sword slashing onto Amaimon's head, slicing off the infamous spike of hair.
He did not just go there…Amaimon thought, glaring with his hazel eyes as the spike of hair plummeted to the ground. (A/N:LMFAOOO XD)
"You think it is fun to cut people's hair?" Amaimon remarked as he continued his glare. "Maybe I should cut some off little Ame's head…"
He lifted up a lock of jet black hair with one finger, slowly running his hand through it. Rin stopped, horrified. Amaimon wasn't really going to harm Ame, was he?
Amaimon smirked, and snapped his fingers.
Before Rin could do anything else, his surroundings became black, his eyes closing. He had stopped moving, and before falling to the ground, his sword had somehow found it's way back in its case. He slowly sunk into being unconscious.
Amaimon leaped away, and left Rin laying there, out in the cool night. He glided to the rooftop, holding Ame.
Once Amaimon was on the roof. he opened a green portal, and stepped through.
Ame didn't know it yet, but she was in a new world.
An opposite world.
A world someone like her didn't deserve to be in…
A world called Gehenna.
She had woken up hours later in an unfamiliar room. She was placed in a small white bed, it seemed. Walls surrounding her were painted lavender, the ceiling being left white. Across from her was a window with lace, cream colored curtains. When Ame looked out the window, she had so many questions in mind.
Why were the clouds dark, and the sky slightly red?
She took off her jacket, and put it on the bed.
What is this place? Where am I?
Ame's face panicked. Was anyone else there?
Just as her thoughts began to race, Amaimon came in through the sliding window.
Ame remembered him, he was that lollipop freak!
It was true, he did have a lollipop. (strawberry to be exact.)
"Did you sleep well?" He asked, his face showing no particular expression.
Why is this creep talking to me? Did he bring me here?
"Where am I?" Ame asked.
Amaimon sat down on the bed next to her. Ame didn't move, she just stared at him, waiting for an answer.
"I saved you and brought you here." He began.
"What do you mean? What happened?" Ame asked, now even more confused.
"Rin became out of control with his flames, he tried to attack you. I defeated him and brought you here." Amaimon smoothly lied.
It was true, Amaimon saved Ame from the flames, but Rin had no intention of attacking Ame.
No, that can't be possible. Ame thought. Rin would never try to hurt me…
"What?" Ame asked, speechless. Amaimon's hazel eyes looked so serious, so real.
Had this guy really saved me? Ame wondered. I thought I could trust Rin…
"What happened to Rin?" Ame asked, even more worried whether Rin was okay.
"Relax, he's going to be alright. I made sure nobody found out about him losing control, or they would kill him. Are you feeling alright?" Amaimon asked, lying through his teeth.
"Is Rin okay?" Ame asked again. She couldn't help it.
"I just said, he's going to be alright." Amaimon sighed. She still has her mind set on him… He thought.
"I-I guess I'm okay." Ame stuttered, looking down.
"That's good. Amaimon said, putting a hand on her shoulder. Ame didn't really care, she was just too shocked that Rin had lost control and tried to hurt her. She didn't even do anything wrong!
"Is it my fault?" Ame asked, looking at Amaimon with sad emerald orbs.
"Of course not." Amaimon said as if it were obvious. "This whole thing was because of Rin, don't worry. Feel better, okay?" Amaimon said, getting up. "You're stuff is over there" Amaimon pointed to a corner of the room where Ame's bag lay. With that, he was about to leave, but Ame stopped him.
"Wait!" She called.
Amaimon turned.
"I want to go back!" She said, serious.
"You're hurt." Amaimon said. "You have no choice but to stay here until you get better, Mephisto's order." After saying that, he left Ame, who was scared and confused.
Ame didn't know what to do. He didn't even tell her where she was!
She tried moving, but sudden pain shot through her arms, which looked burned. However, her wounds were treated to with band aids and gauze. She just still felt pain. And now, the most pain was in her heart. Rin had betrayed her. I honestly thought I could trust him, but I'm wrong after all.
She laid her head on the soft white pillow, slowly closing her eyes. The only thing she could do was hope, dream, and pray that this was all a lie. But it was very hard to do so. I'm just like the candles. Rin tried lighting me up, but instead he burned me and I melted.
Back in Assiah, Rin had finally woken up. It was probably around six in the morning. He groaned, picking himself up from the floor.
What happened last night?
He suddenly remembered.
Ame.
Where did she go?
"THAT BASTERD AMAIMON MUST HAVE TAKEN HER! " He thought angrily.
But there was nothing he could do about it. He knew Ame could defend herself if anything went wrong, she had her weapons, her true heart and courage by her side, even though he wasn't.
But how was he going to get her back? Where was she?
There wasn't much time, he knew.
For the rest of the day, Rin couldn't get his mind off of Ame. Was she okay? He couldn't tell Yukio, or anyone, because if they found out that he was fighting, then that was it. He'd be killed.
But he couldn't save her alone. Who could he turn to?
Rin decided he would later have to ask Mephisto, because Mephisto would probably know where Amaimon was. Ame had to be with Amaimon, right? And Mephisto could most likely keep this a secret...
Rin solely swore that no matter how long he'd search, he would surely find her, a person important to him, the individual he desired the way the sky's cherished blue, the one who had painted him with a whole new, mysterious color which he couldn't even describe. He could tell this color was abscond, the way his chest pained when he reminisced she was gone, that she was a part of him. Without her, this void, hollow, feeling would be painted in black rather than blue.
Back in Gehenna, the night had transpired, dawn casting itself over the sky, with a transparent color of light velvet, sustaining smoky clouds broken into thin, silvery wisps. The outside was lit by an orange sun flared on the edges, lightly flickering like a clock.
Ame couldn't tell if she was asleep or awake. While her eyes would lay open, she felt empty, but when she tried to close them, they disheartened every dream. This was all too real, she felt so out of place in this strange world. Loneliness, insomnia, and distress.
This state by far wasn't pleasant.
And it was worse when Ame had thoughts about Rin, again and again, throughout the night.
Did he care that she was gone?
Of course he does… She tried to tell herself. But what exactly am I to him? Would he honestly care? She denied. Nobody had ever truly loved her, in her entire life. She didn't know what to call love, or even how to describe it. Not knowing something and saying you feel that way. Ame hissed into her thoughts. That's pointless. Absurd. Ame put a hand up to her throbbing forehead and shook her head. Wasn't Rin her friend? Ame had friends, many friends, but Rin had before made her feel somehow different.
She didn't want to be friends with him. She wanted something else, something deeper.
Rin doesn't feel the same way…She mentally sulked. She felt selfish, and like an idiot. Why should she expect something in return from Rin? She had unknowingly let herself get attached to him, and now look what happened. All she could remember from that night before were the flames which set them apart. Those blue flames. She tried comparing her mental picture of him with flames to a memory of that kind smile he gave her from time to time, the one she really liked. It just didn't make sense, she didn't want to believe that he could be this monster.
Her eyes burned. A wetness coated her vision, making it blurred and foggy. The corners of her eyes filled with drops that needed to flow, that craved to spill.
There was a knock at her window.
She shifted her gaze, and through the glass she could see Amaimon, holding a white paper bag and having his usual facial expression.
His spike of hair had grown back, not that Ame would know it was cut off in the first place...
Ame slipped out of bed and stepped up to the window, pushing aside the lace curtain and un-latching the window. Amaimon, watching her hands, opened up the window from the outside as soon as it wasn't locked anymore. He climbed through, into the room, handing Ame the paper bag.
"What's this?" Ame asked, rubbing her eyes from lack of sleep.
"Food." He said clearly, making Ame feel more awake.
Her tummy growled, making her realize that she hadn't eaten anything.
Amaimon watched in interest as she opened the bag.
Inside were two cinnamon buns, and they smelled delicious….
Ame quickly reached inside the bag, pulling it out. She put it up to her mouth and took a huge bite.
"Thanks!" She acknowledged while chewing. Her eyes were closed as she ate, and she was glad, because she felt her tears go away and sink back into her eyes.
Amaimon's arms were crossed as he stood there, watching Ame.
He decided to talk to her once she finished.
Surprisingly, she finished fast. She must have been quite hungry. She handed the bag back to Amaimon. There was still one left.
"You're only having one?" He questioned.
"I'm full." She smiled.
"Then I'll take this one." Amaimon said, casually picking up the cinnamon bun and biting into it.
She went over and sat on the edge of the bed. He followed, sitting a foot away next to her.
Ame's feet didn't touch the ground like Amaimon's did, even though they were both sitting at the same elevation. Ame, being shorter, found it amusing to watch her feet swing back and fourth above ground. Amaimon was staring off into space, being done with his cinnamon bun, he had already popped a lollipop into his mouth.
This guy sure is a sweet addict. Ame regarded. She felt content, now that she wasn't alone anymore. Even if she was sitting with somewhat of a stranger who claims to have saved her life, it was still better than being by herself.
Light filtered in through the window as the sun continued to rise. It being bright, Ame put one hand up to cover and shade over her eye.
"You seem better. Come out with me for a bit." Amaimon said,standing up and gesturing for her to follow.
"Where to?" Ame asked, not sure if it was the best idea to be following this guy.
"You'll see." Amaimon said, turning his head back to look at her while leading her out the door.
They went down a nice hallway which was painted with midnight blue. At the end of the hallway was a glass door which led to...a garden?
Ame and Amaimon were now outside. The air smelled pleasant and fragrant from the greenery and vines which surrounded them. They walked past white trellises with many different colored flowers and roses. Most were in red, pink, yellow, and white. There were pale yellow, violet, maroon and blue disks of morning glories that had climbed all over bushes which were each differently shaped. The pathway they were walking along was made out of smooth stone. Ame listened to the birds singing, and she could hear wind blowing and echoes of nature.
She didn't doubt it, she was amazed at the beauty of Amaimon's Earth kingdom.
Amaimon remained indifferent, if anything, amusing himself by seeing Ame's different reactions to all the beautiful flowers.
The stone path stretched a long way. In the distance, Ame could see fountains of water. The path ended right before an evergreen forest. The forest had it's own trail, surrounded by small creatures that must have been earth demons.
She peacefully walked a bit ahead of Amaimon, liking where she was, even if it was a different world, it was just so beautiful.
Ame paused her footsteps when she realized that she didn't even know this guy's name.
"I'm sorry, what's you name?" She asked freely, spinning around at the same time a soft breeze blew past.
"I am Amaimon, The Demon Earth King." He said cooly.
Ame's eyes widened the slightest bit. He's a king? What? She thought.
"You're a king?" She decided to ask casually, trying not to show her confusion.
"I will be." He replied, rolling the lollipop in his mouth.
"You're engaged?" Ame questioned. Then, she quickly covered her mouth, realizing what she just asked.
Amaimon opened his mouth to answer, but she quickly stopped him
"I-I'm sorry! That's none of my business!" She said.
"I meant I will be someday." Amaimon said, raising an eyebrow at the girl.
"O-oh. I'm sorry..." Ame apologized, blushing and looking the other way.
Well, that was awkward. Ame thought. Wait, why are we here again? She asked herself.
After a few more awkward moments, Ame decided to speak up, hoping that she wouldn't say something stupid.
"Um, why are we here?"Ame nervously asked.
Amaimon looked up at the sky. "No apparent reason."
Ame looked up at the sky, too.
She noticed a single black swallow tail butterfly. Ame kept her gaze on it, wondering where it would be off too.
The butterfly flew very close to their heads, but Amaimon remained indifferent.
Ame had thought the black butterfly would go on, but instead, it took refuge.
On top of Amaimon's spike.
It was funny, because he still stayed indifferent. He didn't even notice... it just looked funny.
Ame couldn't help but laugh a little. Amaimon heard, and turned his head to look at her.
"What do you find amusing?" he asked.
Ame's small laugh became slightly stronger, because the butterfly wouldn't leave.
"What's so funny?" He asked, still being indifferent.
"There's a butterfly on your head..." She began, watching the butterfly.
Amaimon froze.
"Butter...fly?" He questioned, eyes wide.
"Y-yeah." Ame said, kinda scared by how wide his eyes could go.
"W-What?" Amaimon stuttered.
Did HE, the indifferent one, just STUTTER? Ame thought, raising an eyebrow.
Ame giggled. "What's wrong? Don't like butterflies?"
"G-Gahh! Get it off!" He exclaimed, swatting a hand around his hair.
Ame sighed, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Calm down, it's just a butterfly. Give me a second."
Amaimon stood still as Ame reached above his head, cupping her hands. She gently scooped up the butterfly and brought it close to her face. Amaimon backed away a few steps.
"You're scared of this?" Ame asked, innocently holding out the butterfly.
Amaimon paused, realizing what just happened to his cool exterior.
Shit, she found out about my fear. He mentally slapped himself. How could he let someone beside Mephisto know this?
The butterfly flew away.
Ame burst out into laughter.
"It isn't funny." Amaimon said, dead serious face, trying to hide a blush.
"Y-you're right. It's not f-funny, i-it's sad. Dude, s-seriously? A butterfly?" Ame laughed, pointing at him. She was so humored that her laughter didn't make much noise, but you could clearly notice her shaking stomach, slightly red face, and hand clutching her side.
Amaimon knew that his exterior would never be the same. What have I done? He mentally cried.
"Okay, I'm done." Ame smiled, wiping tears of laughter from her eyes.
"I have something to discuss." He started, eyebrow twitching.
"Go ahead." Ame insisted, slightly smirking. This guy isn't all bad, is he? She thought.
"You're training has to continue. Mephisto says it's about time you start practicing how to use you're weapon, and he says you might as well train here." He explained, taking out a mango lollipop.
"What about Rin? And my books?" she asked, worried about the upcoming exams in two months.
"The same books are in the library. Aniue told me to give you this list." He said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a pink piece of paper with book titles written in purple ink. (A/N:Mephisto's handwriting! :3 )
Aniue? This dude is Mephisto's BROTHER? WHAT?Okay, yet another thing I didn't know about Mephisto. But there's a lot of things I don't know...and most likely don't want to know. Ame thought, taking the piece of pink paper.
She looked down at the paper, making sure Mephisto wrote it correctly, because you can't always rely on Mephisto.
"You're pretty short." Amaimon commented, making Ame's head snap up and eyebrows raise.
"I am..." Ame said in a small voice, eyes calming down a bit. "SO?" She retorted as a delayed reaction, nearly throwing the piece of paper.
Amaimon smirked with the lollipop in his mouth. "Here's a map, make yourself at home. All your belongings are in your room" He said, handing her a light green, neatly folded map. Amaimon jumped, vanishing.
Ame sighed, going back up the path to her room, where she would have to un-pack. Normally, she would have tried to go back, but if this is what Mephisto wanted, then she couldn't say no.
Meanwhile, Rin was outside the door of Mephisto's office. He took in a deep breath. He could do this.
Should I knock? Rin wondered. Is Mephisto even here? It's 9:00 at night, so maybe he is.
Rin grabbed the golden door handle, slightly shivering. He was nervous about entering the chairman's office.
Suck it up. He told himself. What could go wrong? Rin paused, not wanting to know what actually could go wrong.
The door was huge, the outside having a mosaic design of many different colored shapes.
He pulled at the handle. The door cracked open, revealing a rather (or very) cluttered office, filled with quite interesting and amusing things. There were many random manga strewn across the floor. Rin could see volume 1 of a manga called "Love Monster" an inch away from where his feet had entered.(he didn't want to know what that manga was about...) He stepped over the manga, and walked up towards a big office chair that was turned around, facing a window which showed that it was night time.
Mephisto was indeed sitting in the chair.
Rin became even more nervous as the chair began to slowly turn...
Mephisto Pheles was looking Rin in the eyes, having his infamous grin plastered on his face.
"Now what brings you here tonight?" He asked in a questioning tone.
"I have a request." Rin said in a serious tone.
"Enlighten me." Mephisto replied, sipping his cup of tea.
"Could you help me find Ame?" Rin asked, eyes pleading.
"What do you need Ame for?" Mephisto asked hands folded on his desk.
Rin paused, wondering why exactly he needed her...
Don't we study together? Rin thought, but he knew he couldn't use that as a reason.
We train together! Rin thought. Then again, she didn't affect his training in any way.
So why did he need her? What would he tell Mephisto?
"I need...to save her." Rin decided to say with determination.
"You think she's in danger?." Mephisto asked.
Rin blinked. How the hell could she not be in danger? He thought. For God's sake, she was taken away by him. Amaimon. The evil Earth King Broccoli headed Unicorn BASTARD.
Rin's eyebrows slightly furrowed. "I'm sure Amaimon is up to no good."
"Oh, you'd rather she be with you then Amaimon, I see!" Mephisto smirked.
"I-It's not like that! I just need her back!" Rin answered, making Mephisto raise an eyebrow.
"You absolutely need her back?" Mephisto questioned.
"W-well, yeah..." Rin said, trying to keep a serious face, but failing when Mephisto moved close so their faces were only inches apart.
"Explain to me why you would need Ame." Mephisto remarked, stroking his beard in thought, his eyes pointed.
"Ame and I are..." Rin paused, not knowing what to call themselves, "we're friends, and we need each other to train."
Mephisto went back into his chair. Need each other to train? Nice excuse. He thought.
"Do you even know where she is?" Mephisto asked.
"No." Rin replied.
"She is in Gehenna. If you try going there to get her, there's a good chance Satan would try to have you captured." Mephisto explained.
Rin remembered what Yukio had once told him. Any demon who enters Gehenna and stays for a certain period of time awakes to their full nature. That meant that if she stayed much longer, she would slowly turn into a full demon! She wouldn't be half human anymore! Rin had to save her.
"I don't care, as long as I can save Ame, that's all that matters. So please, tell me how to get into Gehenna." Rin requested.
"I will let you into Gehenna, okay, but I'm warning you." Mephisto cautioned.
Rin nodded.
Mephisto slashed his arm across the air, and a purple portal opened up.
"Spray this in the air to open up a portal to Assiah. And here's a map to the earth kingdom." Mephisto handed Rin a mosaic spray bottle of Holy Water and a light green map.
Rin stepped through the portal.
Time in Gehenna was different. Two day's in Assiah was almost a week in Gehenna, and in that time, Ame had made quite an amount of progress.
"Hey, Ame, let's fight." Amaimon suggested. They were both sitting under a tree in the forest.
"Fight? But why?" Ame questioned.
"I want to see how strong you've gotten." Amaimon slightly smirked, licking his blueberry lollipop.
"I'm not ready."Ame concluded, looking up at the cotton-like clouds.
"You're no fun." Amaimon said, poking her cheek.
The morning sun was bright. Ame had just finished her early training, like she had done the past other days. After taking a small break, like this one, Ame would spend the afternoon reading and studying.
Everything around her was alright, but she couldn't help but constantly think about Rin.
I miss Rin. I wonder how he's doing...does he miss me? When can I go back? Amestressed in her mind.
Ame's teeth have become a little pointier...is she starting to turn into a full demon already? That's good, because the sooner she does, the sooner she will realize that she belongs in Gehenna. The, I will have no problem in making her mine. Amaimon thought, leaning against the bark of the tree.
Ame couldn't help but notice that the way Amaimon leaned against a tree was different than how Rin would lean. Amaimon half lay on the grass, using the tree to support his shoulders and back. Ame remembered the way Rin would lean, sitting with his entire back and elbows against the tree.
Ame had gotten used to seeing Amaimon at random times day after day.
I'm actually starting to hang out with this guy. Oh god. Ame thought, wondering why she even was with Amaimon.
Next to Ame were her two swords, Kamikaze and Akuma-fu.
Ame stared at the two blades. They were out of their case, laying inches away from where Ame sat. Both blades deflected the sunlight shining through the trees.
If Rin were here, what would I say to him? Ame asked herself.
She took a quick glance at Amaimon.
What if Rin saw me with Amaimon? Does he know I'm here? Ame had so many questions lingering in her thoughts that just couldn't be answered.
Evening was drawing near, as the sky told.
Amaimon got up to leave.
"You coming?" He called back at her, walking towards the Earth House.
"I'm going to read here." Ame said. In truth, she wouldn't be reading, but she needed time alone, outside.
"See ya." Amaimon waved. He never failed to keep that indifferent exterior of his after the butterfly incident, and he made sure of that.
The air gradually became cooler. The trees made a sort of swishing noise when a soft wind blew. Ame's surroundings dimmed, shadily enveloping the forest.
She was all alone, but she didn't have fear, because her weapons lay beside her.
Ame wished that she could just let her worries blow away with the wind.
Where was Rin? No, where Am I? Ame thought, hugging her knees to her chest.
Ame got up, picking up her swords and walking deeper into the forest. She needed to move around, her feet were numb from sitting. She became immerse in thoughts...all about Rin. What was happening to her? Why couldn't she get over this... obsession.
I'm too attached to him! She sadly told herself, shaking her head as if that would clear her thoughts.
She could hear an owl-like creature's calling into the night echo through the dark forest.
Ame crossed her arms, because it was getting quite chilly.
She heard a crack on the other side of the forest.
Did a stick just break or something? She thought.
She heard footsteps.
"Who's there?" She asked, looking all around.
Rin heard a familiar voice cry "Who's there?".
Could it be?
It was!
Rin's eyes brightened. He had thought he was lost earlier when the portal brought him to a forest, but he was now very thankful he kept going.
He looked all around, and stopped when he saw shiny green eyes in the silent night.
"Ame!" Rin called running up to her.
"Stay back!" she warned, holding out her two swords in a cross defense position she had learned earlier. She saw electric blue eyes, and knew who's they were, but how could she be so sure it really was him, and not some shape shifting demon that heard her thoughts? Mephisto had always told her to be careful about these things.
"Ame, it's me! Rin!" Rin waved.
"I said, stay back." Ame warned. There was no way he'd hurt her again. She held the Akuma-fu in her left hand, near her chest, and her Kamikaze in her right hand, curved yet pointed at Rin.
"Why are you pointing those swords at me?" Rin asked walking closer.
"I-I said stay back! I-I don't want you to burn me." She said, eyes filling with tears, looking at the burn marks all over her right arm.
"Are you kidding me? I would never -" Rin got cut off.
"Take a good look at my arm, Rin." Ame held out her arm. "This is what happened. You tried to attack me, and left scars, so I'm currently healing here." Ame hissed, eyes narrow.
Rin's eyes widened at the amount of bruises and scars along her arm.
"Ame, I'm sorry. that wasn't me, please understand! I was trying to save you!" Rin cried.
"I won't forgive you." Ame said darkly, tears spilling ad dropping to the ground.
"Ame!" Rin shouted, running up to her and grabbing her shoulders.
Ame sharply back away, but Rin landed her against a tree, grabbing her wrists.
Ame kicked Rin's knee and escaped his grasp, holding her swords in a better defense position.
"STOP FIGHTING ME!" Rin shouted with anger.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Ame shouted back at him.
Both of their demonic natures awakened a bit more. They didn't realize it, but they both had their tails out, and teeth bared.
Ame was just as bad as Rin was, and at that moment, they both knew it.
Rin drew his Kurikara.
Ame , too, was ready for battle.
Ame slashed her two swords in an 'X', sending over a deadly gust of wind.
It blew Rin backwards, making him hit against a tree. Ame's wind surrounded her on her side, blowing against Rin's side which was covered in flames, trying to burn through Ame's barrier.
Their powers were their own chaos.
Rin jumped in the air, slashing more flames. Ame tried to blow them away, but failed. She was scared. After all that, he said he was sorry. Why was he trying to hurt her again?
Actually, he wasn't.
Ame only felt a slight warmth, and it wasn't the flames either.
Rin had closed his sword, going back to his half demon self. He had set the sword aside, using his arms for something else, To wrap his arms around Ame.
So he's the warmth...Ame weakly thought. She had given in, but she wouldn't move.
"Ame, I promise to never hurt you, ever again." He said, hugging her tightly.
"Rin..." Ame whispered, tearing up. "I'm sorry." she sobbed into his shoulder.
"Eh?I'm the one who's sorry, don't you dare go and blame yourself!" Rin consoled.
Ame's crying stopped. She was in his arms, everything was alright now.
Rin pulled away from hugging Ame. He held both her hands, and looked her in the eyes.
"Ame, I love you."
