Hey guys! So this is still the month that I updated this with my AN on my story updating schedule so I'm just updating at random for the time being . . . I hope you like it! I've been trying to make these as long as I could to make up for everything. I don't read manga because of . . . reasons I would rather not explain and I've been told that the black flames are used int he manga for something else and all that but DAMMIT SERIOUSLY?! Okay, fanfics are where the fans can write what they want about the story, so seriously!? Sorry, but the reason I like fanfics is because you can write the story the way you want and put anything you want in the story!
I don't own Blue Exorcist, only my wonderful Grim Reaper offspring!
Megumareta's POV:
The next morning she finished packing and changed into the school's uniform (female exorcist uniform. . . like from episode 10 in the anime I suck at descriptions sorry!). She stopped by Mother's grave to find a banquet of orange lilies laying there, "How like you Karasu," Megumareta glanced up to the sky, "Orange lilies, meaning revenge and hatred. Always one for symbolism aren't you?" She knelt down to the grave and placed her own banquet of flowers, white roses. "Good bye Mother, thank you for everything . . ."
As she made her way to the front gates she found Karasu waiting for her with their bags in the school's male uniform. She frowned, "Karasu what do you think you're wearing?"
Karasu popped a cherry lollipop in her mouth, "I think that I'm wearing the school's uniform,"
A tick mark appeared on her forehead and gritted her teeth, "That's just it. Why are you wearing the male school uniform?"
Karasu bounced off the wall, "You've got to be kidding me, you're asking me why?" She rolled her eyes, "I'll give you a list," she put a finger out one by one, "I don't wear skirts, I don't wear stockings, have you even seen the size shirts they give you, and the length of the skirts!" she snapped. "Besides Mephisto said I could wear the male uniform!"
Megumareta sighed, "You way too picky!"
Before they could launch further into argument a long pink limo slammed into the sidewalk only inches away from them making them jump back. Out of the door came the more flamboyant demon Megumareta had ever seen or met.
"Welcome ladies! Come, come or we'll be late picking up the sons of Satan~!" He sang as he jumped back in the limo.
They both sweatdropped as they climbed into the car. "Nice tie knotting skills Miss Karasu," Mephisto commented on the way.
Karasu's eyebrow twitched, "I'm not sure if that was an innocent compliment or a perverted comment . . ." she mumbled as she fell asleep.
Mephisto pulled out a text book and planner and started to write in it.
"So she hasn't awakened her powers yet?" Mephisto asked calmly as he played with some bubbles.
Her eyebrow arched suspiciously, "No she hasn't drawn her sword yet, I have fired my pistols already though."
Mephisto gave a, "Hmpt." He held out two small booklets with black leather covers and a silver clasp and lock, "Here, your wonderful father wanted me to give these to you two!" To each booklet there was a key with the same silver from the lock and clasp.
Megumareta sweatdropped, "Uh . . . thanks?" She took the booklets and found that on had a picture of two twin swords with the same smokey silver that was the same as her pistols which were on the other booklet. Taking the other booklet with her two twin pistols on them she cover on it she opened it to the title page, "The Blessed Pistols; A Grim Reaper Guide?" she asked looking up to Mephisto who shrugged.
"Like I said, your father told me to give those to you. I assume that the one with twin swords is for your sister, like it says it a guide book for your powers and weapons for you."
Before they could continue the car suddenly turned around the corner. Karasu slammed into the limo wall, waking her up, "Fuzz!?" she cried out holding her head (Fuzz is her replacement for the f word, she uses the real words when she's super angry).
The door opened and in climbed Yukio and Rin, "Oh hey guys!"Yukio called out cheerfully.
While Rin . . . "What the Hell? What are you doing here with this clown Megumareta?" He paused looking at Karasu, "Hey who's that guy?"
Karasu's eyes blazed as she slapped him, "It's me Shi you idiot!"
Rin sat whining and rubbing his cheek as Shi yelled at him. Megumareta shook her head, "Those two . . ."
Yukio chuckled in agreement, Megumareta felt her face growing red. Yukio stopped and leaned a bit closer to her, "Hey Mareta you okay, you look really flushed are you coming down with something?"
Rin and Karasu paused and looked over to them smirking, "Y-yes, I-I mean no! No I'm fine!" She stuttered making Karasu and Rin laugh even more.
After Rin and Karasu stopped laughing, "Oh yeah, Yukio where were you?"
Yukio looked up from his own planner, "Huh? Oh I was visiting Dad's grave, did you go?"
"Oh, uh, no."
Yukio smiled softly, "Figures . . ."
Megumareta stared at the both of them. "How can Yukio be so calm about it? And how can Rin be so thoughtless? I mean even Karasu went to visit Mother's grave this morning!"
Megumareta glanced over to Karasu who was quietly reading the booklet with her twin swords on it, completely ignoring everybody else.
Rin looked over to Mephisto, "Where are you taking us anyway?"
Mephisto held out his arms wide, "Isn't it obvious? True Cross Academy of course!"
Rin glanced over to Yukio, "Hey isn't is funny Yukio? I mean I'm getting into a fancy smanshy place just like you!"
"Huh? Oh sorry Rin, I'm just nervous that's all." Yukio looked back down to his book.
Rin staed at his brother stunned like he just realized something. Megumareta shook her head, she'll never understand those two . . .
She looked at her key, the head of the key mimicked her pistols and the shoulder stop was the trigger. From there it took on the form of a wolf with two tails making the tip the nose of the wolf. The blade of the key it self was very short, about half the size of her pinkie. (I'll explain the parts of a key at the end AN)
Shi's POV:
She looked down at the booklet she had gotten. The picture showed her twin swords drawn crossing each other, the blades were the same smokey silver as her sister's pistols and a black flame with a blue center sat in the center above the blades. She opened it up:
(I'm just going to flat out put what the text book would look like here, okay?)
Crow Swords;
A Grim Reaper's Guide
Reaper Realm: The Reaper Realm is what we would like to call the dimension the Grim Reaper travels through. It is close to both Assiah and Gehenna but too thin for any demon or regular human to break through. The Reaper Realm is accessed by the offspring of the Grim Reaper, spirits, or ghosts. Those who are near death can see into the Reaper Realm before being taken by the Grim Reaper.
Using the Reaper Realm: Only a handful of the Grim Reaper's offspring is actually able to enter the Reaper Realm, at most the offspring is able to see into the Reaper Realm. You can enter the Reaper Realm through a mirror by writing in the name of your weapon backwards and exit the Reaper Realm through any mirror. The Grim Reaper can lead you into the Reaper Realm where you can exit any time and you want. And you can also step into the Reaper Realm. This is a very rare trait among the offspring of the Grim Reaper. They are able to control how they exit and enter the Reaper Realm at any time and any place.
Seeing the Reaper Realm: A handful can see into the Reaper Realm. They can be born with the power like the offspring of the Grim Reaper, granted the power by the Grim Reaper himself, or permitted to see a single thing by the offspring or the Grim Reaper himself. If that being wishes for somebody to see them in the Reaper Realm they will no long be invisible to their naked eye but everybody else won't be able to see them. The can be permitted by having some sort of strong emotional bond between the two.
She froze at the last paragraph and leaned back in her seat sighing. "Well that explains that . . ."
*Flashback*
She was sitting on the sing-set swing gently, the teacher had taken them out for a special treat and like always they had forgotten about her again. She screamed and jumped in front of them but they just ignored her and walked on. She sighed and chewed on her cherry lollipop.
"Hey!" She looked up to see a green haired kid with pointy ears, fang-like teeth, and deep green turquoise eyes, his clothes reminded her of a clown but she never mentioned it. "I smelled something sugary, so I came over. Why are you sitting there alone?" He tilted his head.
She looked at him amazed, "Y-you can see me?"
He frowned and thrusted his head forward, "Do you have some more to give me?"
She was taken aback a little, "Uh, sure." she dug through her pocket, "Do you like cherry lollipops?" She held out a handful to him. It was all she carried with her.
He swiped the lollipops from her hand and stuck one in his mouth. "Umm . . . I'm Karasu Shi, who are you?" She stuttered.
He looked up at his with a bored expression. "This is Japan so you say your last names first then your first name, right?"
She nodded hesitantly, "Are you from somewhere else?"
He shook his head.
"Uh- are you visiting somebody in your family?" She asked.
He froze and looked him in the eye, "My big brother, he is very fond of this place you humans like to call Japan."
She tilted her head at his strange choice of words but decided to say nothing, he was the only one who saw her while others didn't.
"Your name, it means crow and death if you say it like how you introduced yourself, so your first name means death." She looked over stunned to him, the bored look on his face never changed as he put in a new lollipop, "And crows represent death too, so your name repeats it self."
She nodded numbly, "Y-yes." This was strange. He was the first to ever say anything about her name, at least anything that wasn't negative.
He sighed and got up, "Will you supply me with these Japanese candies for the rest of my visit in Japan?" He asked looking up at the sky.
"Huh?"
"I'll be staying in Japan for the rest of the week, can you bring me candies here for every day until I leave?" He asked again bluntly, getting closer to her face again.
"Umm . . ."
"We can meet here if it helps you. My big brother is busy most of the time and eating these candies give me something to do while I think of something to kill my boredom."
"A-alright," She agreed getting up and dusting off, "But I have to do it after school gets out, okay?"
He gave her a bored nod, "Okay."
For the rest of the week she stopped by the playground and gave the green haired boy a bag of cherry lollipops. She thought about it a few times and reasoned that although it was what Mother and Megumareta would call "stupid" and "dangerous", that he was the only one who could see her so there must be a good reason for it, and he probably would've done something bad to her already.
(End of week, last day) She sat on the sing set swinging her legs back and forth. On her lap was a large bag of cherry lollipops, it was twice the size it normally was from the other days.
The familiar light footsteps of her green haired friend. "Hello, thank you for supplying me with your candy for this week."
She smiled, throughout the entire week he never lost his blunt tone, "It's nothing Erufu, it was nice to have a friend for a week though." She had decided to call him Erufu (Japanese for elf) because of his pointy ears, and every time she asked for his name he avoided the question or just ignored it.
He froze for a moment before sitting down on the sing next to her, he took a lollipop out of the bag she held out to him and took the bag in his other hand.
They sat there silently for a while, "Hey Erufu,"
"Hmm?" He turned his head over to her.
"Will you finally tell me your name now? I mean all this time I've been calling you Erufu, but-" She looked down at her feet.
*End of Flashback*
"We're here!" Mephisto announced, "Oh and you'll need to change into the school uniform."
Shi snapped out of her memories and closed the booklet locking it with the key. Her key were two crows facing away from each other in a flying position as the head. Two cobras were wrapped around the feet facing outward as the shoulder stop. The blade was the blade of two twin swords splitting in two, the tip were the separate tips of the swords. In all the blade was the length of her middle finger, much longer than Megumareta's, though only three centimeters actually entered the lock.
"Aww come on!" Rin whined as a wall rose from the flooring separating them from the boys.
*Mini Time Skip*
Rin and Shi sat together stunned as their twin stood up giving the speech to everybody. She stood up and clapped with all the others, "You've come far big sister, and you too Yukio. But this game we play, it is mine to carry on my shoulders. Just focus on becoming a doctor and writing songs. . ."
After they walked out from the tours of the campus comments were scattered everywhere, "Have you seen the class reps? Oh Okumura is so cute!"
"That girl Kashikoi ain't too bad either . . ."
"Okumura is so cool! I heard he got top the top score with that Kashikoi girl though . . ."
"Hey have you seen Kashikoi little brother?"
"Who?"
"Wait they're brothers? But they have different names!"
"Okumura's brother is such a weirdo, he was completely freaking out!"
Rin snickered, "See? Even these guys think that you're a guy!"
"Whatever," Shi rolled her eyes, "They're all just rich kids on a pass, not like us who got here on intelligence!"
"What? No Mephisto got us here!"
Shi stared at him, "Seriously? I took the entrance exam and passed, only I got the results later. I just didn't mention it because as it turned out we would be attending True Cross Academy anyway."
Rin stopped rubbing the back of his head, "Yea what's up with that? I mean I just said I wanted to train to become an exorcist, not attend highschool. I mean after junior high I just wanted to get a job. . ."
"Well you're lucky, being an exorcist you also get paid if you do your job right so you can 'beat the shit outta Satan' and earn a living." she slapped him on the back.
He jumped looking at her, "Wait you heard me?!" he sighed defeated, "Yea whatever- hey wait!"
They paused in the hallway, "Hmm, what is it?"
"Where's the dorms in this place? I sweat nobody tells me crap!" Rin exclaimed looking around.
Shi mentally facepalmed, "They gave out a map of the campus along with all the other papers like your schedule!"
"Oh . . . I've got to go back and pick them up later then . . . he he."
Suddenly he fell forward catching himself, "Huh?"
They looked down to see a small white dog. Shi looked down closer at it and smirked, the dog gave her an unamused glance before running off. Shi grabbed Rin's arm, "Come on, let's follow it!"
The dog led them out on a bridge and climbed up on the lamp before transforming in a pink puff of smoke into Mephisto.
As Mephisto explained something about a key he glanced over to her. "And you Miss Karasu!" She snapped out of her near-sleep-state and looked over to Mephisto. They were looking around.
"Hey! Where the Hell did Shi go? Dammit she ditched us didn't she?!" Rin cried out.
Mephisto simply shook his head, "Miss Karasu, if you're still there then you should know that your key also acts as an infinity key! It will open to any place you want using any door!"
Rin looked at him like he was crazy but was answered by his signature sly smirk. Shi covered her mouth in a small chuckle before following Rin inside to the cram school and heading over to her classroom.
She opened the door and walked in forgetting that she was still in the Reaper Realm. "Huh?"
"Did that door just open on it's own?!" A girl with short brown hair exclaimed.
"It was probably just some loser who forgot how to close a door properly." A girl with long purple hair in twin pig-tails and poka-dot eyebrows said carelessly as she closed her eyes and crossed her arms in front of her.
Shi too a moment to observe the room a bit, there were three guys sitting together, a pink haired dude who was staring at the two girls who made comments before, a bald guy with glasses who was reading a book, and a dude with brown and blonde hair who got up and closed the door. In the back there was a guy with a grey hoodie playing a yellow handheld game console in the back along with a blonde haired kid who had his eyes closed and a bunny puppet on his left hand. "Okay . . . we've got the school rich drop-out with his super smart and pervert lackies. Shy follower and miss know-it-all-I'm-better-than-you-who-only-has-one-friend. Weird tired guys with rocking ventriloquism skills, and dude who can care less and plays video games in class. Then there'll be Rin who . . . eh I'm not even going to try with him."
Shi walked to the middle front desk and took a seat as silently as she could. "Eh? Did that chair just move?" Bald smart lackie asked looking over at her.
"Nah, it's just your imagination." Dark haired and blonde school dropout replied.
Rin's POV:
"What a dump . . ." Rin murmured to himself as he entered the room, it was nothing like the school he had just taken a tour of. His eyes scanned the room before he straightened himself, "I'm Okumura Rin."
He walked over to the middle front desk and sat down looking around a bit more.
"Hey Rin,"
Startled Rin scrambled in his seat and looked to his right to see Shi sitting there. "Okay, I swear I didn't see you there before!" Rin poked her in the face sorta creeped out.
She slapped him, "Don't poke me! What do you think I did? Come out of thin air?!"
"Oh, here comes your instructors." Mephisto suddenly commented.
They both looked towards to door to see . . .
"Yukio?!"
"Megumareta?!"
"What are you doing here?!" They shouted in unison.
The two of them smiled at their siblings before walking up to the teacher's desk.
"Hello class, I'll be your instructor along with Miss Megumareta here." Yukio introduced themselves.
Shi smirked then leaned back in her seat, "It figures, those two . . ."
Rin's head snapped to her, "What?! You knew about this?!"
"Yukio and Megumareta have both been training since they were seven, they're the youngest exorcists in history." Mephisto put in.
Rin stared at them stunned while Shi looked down and entered the Reaper Realm. Rin gritted his teeth and stood up, "Yukio!"
Yukio turned towards the board and started to draw a diagram while Megumareta went over the class plan next to him. "Class is in session, is there a problem?"
"Is there problem?" Rin scoffed, "Of course there's a problem, what's your problem?! No in fact what's up with the both of you?!" Shi sighed as the other students glared or stared at Rin in fear.
Rin stomped over to the front of the class and held his brother up by the collar, Megumareta placed a hand on his shoulder in a warning manner. "Come on Yukio talk to me!" He shouted at his brother.
Megumareta sighed, "Class would you please step outside, we need a word with out siblings."
The students arose grumbling and complaining. Shi zoned out for a moment listening as Yukio and Megumareta explained their positions to Rin. Suddenly Rin pushed Yukio and the vial of rotten animal blood filled the room. Shi looked around and saw Megumareta draw her twin pistols, "Rin this isn't really the time now. Seeing that we've railed them up now they'll be more of them."
In response to this Yukio suddenly fired a few more goblins who had just appeared behind him. "We'll take care of them, you wait outside-"
"But I'm not done yet!" Rin shouted.
Megumareta ignored him focusing on the goblins, "Rin stop being so stubborn about this and get out!"
Yukio pulled out his other pistol and started to fire at the goblins as well. "I wonder . . . is this room soundproof or something because what if the others outside hear this?"
"All these years, all that time, what'd you think of me?"
Yukio adjusted his glasses making the glare hid his eyes, "What did I think of you?"
Megumareta froze letting Yukio fire at the on coming demons, "That should be obvious," He turned and fired at some more demons who were right behind her making Shi flinch, "I mean you are a demon aren't you! Are far as I was concerned you were a threat!" Rin steped back in shock and Yukio continued to fire at the demons, "You still are. My god you're such an idiot and it's a mystery to me why you even want to become an exorcist." He turned and shot at the demons spawning behind him, "For revenge? Or maybe because of the guilt from out father's death." He turned back to Rin, "If that's really how you feel then you should surrender to the Knights of the True Cross."
Megumareta stepped back away from the two of them and leaned again one of the student desks fro support. "Better yet die!"
Shi growled ignoring the rest of the conversation and rushed out of the Reaper Realm pointing the sword still in it's sheath at Yukio's head as he aimed his pistols at Rin. "Take those pistols away from your brother right now! My sword may not be drawn but I can still do enough damage to knock you into the hospital if needed."
They looked at her in shock, "Yukio you forget that the blood of Satan runs through you as well, no matter what you're still part demon and who knows when that part of you will awaken! Rin isn't the only threat here, you're one too!" A demon started to appear behind Yukio and Shi glanced to Rin and gave him a nod.
She drew back on her sword and before Yukio could react, disappeared back in the Reaper Realm.
Shi sat next to Megumareta who was still in shock on the desk. "Look you're right about me being an idiot, say what you want, I don't care!" She smirked as Yukio was still a bit unfazed and Rin delivered his own beat down on him. "But you know what?" He started to flare up, blue flames engulfing his body and snapping Megumareta out of her shocked state and into a defensive one. "I am still your brother dammit. Do not point your gun at me." He looked up at Yukio, "We're brothers!" A blast of air radiated from his knocking them back.
Yukio and Megumareta quickly took him up on each side pointing their pistols at him. "For the last time, I did not kill the old man."
Yukio and Megumareta twitched and their hands trembled. Shi ran out of the Reaper Realm and knocked into Megumareta, "Do not point that gun at Rin!" she growled at her.
"But if you really want to shot me," They both looked back to see Rin pull out the Koma sword and draw it, "Go ahead! Shot!"
Yukio trembled and Shi got up and quickly appeared from the Reaper Realm on the teacher's desk near Yukio watching the large demon. "Shot!" Rin yelled as he ran past Yukio and slashed the demon in half.
Shi grabbed Yukio's shoulders and turned him around quick enough for him to watch his brother land and sheath his sword again. "Don't insult me, I'm not going to fight my little brother."
Shi zoned out of their conversation and helped Megumareta, "You okay?"
She trembled still in shock a bit, "Y-Yukio hates us?"
Shi shook her head and smiled defying her feelings, "No he doesn't, he was just upset about Father Fujimoto and he said things in the heat of the moment!" she reassured her sister.
"I just-I want to be stronger! I want to be strong so no one else die because of me!" Shi and Yukio gasped silently. Suddenly Shi was in an empty space, the sound of a child crying echoed around her. She looked down to see Yukio when he was younger, his hands covered his eyes as tears streamed down, "I don't want to see these scary things anymore!" he sobbed.
There were footsteps and Shi looked up in shock to see Father Fujimoto, "Father Fujimoto?" She called out. There was no reaction from either Yukio or Father Fujimoto.
"Ah, I see . . ." Shi turned to see the Grim Reaper.
"See what? What's going on here?"
The Grim Reaper walked past her to stand behind Father Fujimoto. Father Fujimoto reached out and put an hand on Yukio's head, "Hey," Yukio looked up to him, Father Fujimoto smiled softly, "Yukio. If you want you can join me and we can fight together,"
Yukio stared up to him in awe. "Do you want to be afraid forever? Or do you want to be strong so you can protect Rin and others?"
Yukio blinked, "Protect Rin, I could do that?" he asked amazed.
"Yes. . ." Father Fujimoto's voice faded as the image of the two of them faded away.
"Have you received the guide books I gave to Mephisto for you?" The Grim Reaper asked. Shi nodded, "Then you know only a handful can actually enter the Reaper Realm on their own."
He turned and started to walk away, "It is the same for memories, only a few offspring of the Grim Reaper can see into the memories of others. It seems that you're a very gifted child. . . Shi"
Before she could react the room faded along with the Grim Reaper and she was back in the classroom.
"Hey everything okay? You sorta zoned out for a bit?" Megumareta asked.
Shi nodded and got up opening the door for the other students.
"What happened to the room?" Baldy asked.
"Forget the room," Two toned hair dude said his gaze drifting to them, "What's up with them?"
"Hey where did that guy come from?" Poka-dot eyebrow girl exclaimed pointing a finger at her.
Shi sighed, "You know it's not nice to point at people,"
Megumareta walked up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder, "This is my younger twin, Karasu Shi."
There was a collective, "Huh?!" before Yukio herded all the students back to their seats.
~Time Skip~
"So room 713. . . 713, oh found you!" Shi opened the door and looked into the room. It had one bed on either side and two windows with desks in front of them, the room pretty much mirrored it self except for the boxes that she had sent ahead.
The light suddenly turned on and Shi jumped, "Surprise!"
Blinking she realized that is was only Megumareta, "Uh, what's up?"
"Well I pulled a few strings and we'll be in the bunking next to each other!"
"What?"
Megumareta sighed, "Well we're dangerous so we've got this place to ourselves and because of that I got to have my own room!"
"Okay, just one quesiton," Shi put up a hand stopping her sister from doing anything else.
"Hmm? Shot, what is it?"
"Why is it an old boy's dormitory?" Shi asked with a tiny tick mark appearing on her head.
Megumareta sighed and shrugged, "It was all they had."
