Legionary Abyss

Chapter 4

A breeze blew past them, before Rin suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked around. His brother and Bon turning to look back at him in confusion as Rin glanced around frantically.

"Nii-san, is everything ok?" Yukio asked, as Rin snapped out of his search and turned to look at their concerned faces.

"Yeah, I just thought I heard something." Rin muttered, as he walked after them.

The teen glancing behind him just in case, before he looked down at the ground and frowned. He swore he just hear Reiji's voice. He sounded helpless and broken…A sigh left the teen's lips as he shook his head and stretched carefully. A few stitches pulling slightly that Rin ignored, as he tuned out his brother and Bon talking to one another. He had finally gotten out of the hospital after two agonizing weeks and they were heading back to True Cross to meet up with his classmate's and Shura's search team. Which, to their surprise, was longer than they had expected. Usually the teen would be fine in a few days, but it had taken him two weeks to finally recover enough to be discharged. No one knew why it had taken this long, and honestly Rin didn't care. He was finally gunna be able to help everyone find his mate and that's all he cared about.

His brother however kept glancing back at him every few minutes like he was gunna fall apart at any given moment. Each glance making Rin frown more as he tried to ignore his gaze and tried to look around and take his mind off his brother's stares. The teen instead deciding it best he check what else was healing. A simple twinge of pain falling along his back, behind his right shoulder, as the skin slowly knitted itself back together and ate away at the stitches. A few stitches over his left hip, stomach, right arm and his face were all that he could find that was left as he reached up and ran his fingers against the scabbed skin. The stitches gone since yesterday and the hardened skin slowly healing underneath as Rin ran his fingers along it. The texture grating against his fingertips as he reached the bottom of his chin and moved to the one beside it. The movement repeating twice more, before he heard someone clear their throat and Rin jerked back to reality. Yukio and Bon were standing just in front of a door in Cram School, a frown on Bon's face and his arms across his chest, while Yukio watched him in worry.

"You sure you want to do this, Nii-san? We can wait another day." Yukio spoke, before Rin growled and pushed past his brother and toward the door.

"I've been sitting on my ass long enough, I'm not waiting another fucking day." Rin spoke, as he pulled the door open and walked inside.

Bon muttering some comment on how Reiji was rubbing off on him without him even being here, as all eyes suddenly fell on Rin when he entered. Shiemi instantly gasping out in shock as she stood up without meaning to and the chair scrapped against the floor. Izumo, Shima and Miwa staring at him in complete disbelief as Shura's team gave him the same look. The woman herself however was looking over his condition and once she deemed him acceptable, got off the table she was sitting on and walked toward him. Her arm wrapping around his shoulders and suddenly around his neck as she tried to mock choke him. A jerk running through the teen, as he let out a protest and Yukio and Bon came in behind them.

"You little shit, we were all worried about yah." She spoke, as she messed up his hair and chocked him.

"Yeah well blame the huge ass cat that decided I was a scratching post." Rin growled out as he finally pulled out from her grip and rubbed his throat, his younger brother sending Shura a warning glance.

"Be careful with Nii-san, he's still hurt."

"For the love of- I'm not made of fucking glass, Yukio." Rin spoke, as Shura raised an eyebrow and his classmates stared at him like he hit his head.

"Well look who grew a mouth, while he was gone." She spoke, in an unpleasant tone, as Rin shivered.

"S-sorry, I'm just really pissed is all." Rin muttered, as the woman waved him off and sat back down on the desk she was previously on.

His brother pulling out the chair from the teacher's desk and sitting in it, while Bon leaned against the teacher's desk and Shura grabbed a file folder. The thing practically shoved in his face, as Rin took it and flipped through the documents.

"Ever since the hospital told us to quit giving you information regarding this case we found a few good clues." Shura spoke, as she watched him go through the papers. "During the night you were attacked there was talk about a gang that was going after a popular gang called Legion. From what we gathered Legion was disbanded a year ago when it's leader was brutally killed by one of its members. However, if this gang was suddenly after them it probably means a new leader has taken the previous leader's place. The small gang that went after them however is what had us a little puzzled."

"Maybe they didn't like that leader either." Rin spoke, never taking his eyes off the papers he was reading.

"Whatever the case was we tried to dig a little deeper and-"

"I found out it wasn't a gang, but a group of five people that went after Legion." Shima interrupted, as Shura gave him a slight frown. "I caught a few girls wearing their tag and sweet talked them into telling me what happened."

A scoff left most of the people in the room as Shima whined at they're reaction and frowned, continuing anyway.

"Anyway, apparently they were succubus dating two of Legion's members and overheard them talking about a bunch of teenagers that tried to attack their base. However, they were intercepted by the members about halfway through they're territory and they engaged in battle. When the battle started there was supposed to be five but they fought against three of them, which means two escaped before it started. It also seemed that they're leader disappeared the moment the battle started and…"

The rest of his classmate's words faded from the teen's hearing as he stopped reading the document in the folder and his eyes widened. The three figures in the alleyway appearing in his head, that bird demon unconscious and that man holding his mate. The spell, that broken look, the panther, the fight, the flames, blood.

"Nii-san!"

In an instant Yukio suddenly grabbed a hold of his shoulders and the teen jumped back to reality. His brother's concerned face reaching his vision and his flames licking the edge of his vision, as everyone stared at him in complete shock. Shura blinking at him stupidly, as Rin started at his brother and blinked.

"Sorry, I zoned out." Rin spoke quietly, as his flames snuffed out as Bon smacked him with a slightly singed folder that had just been in his hands.

"I told you to quit doing that. Don't make me get a gardening hose in here." Bon grumbled, as he handed Rin the folder again and the teen took it. "Now what did you freak out about?"

"I ran into the other two that weren't in the battle." Rin spoke, as everyone stared at him in surprise. "If Shima's information right I fought the leader."

"Wait a second, so you ran into the leader of Legion?!" Shima spoke in shock, as Rin nodded.

"If its correct, yeah. I ran into an alleyway and I found Reiji, some winged demon that was unconscious and a huge guy that turned into a huge ass panther." Rin spoke as he closed the folder and rubbed the back of his head, ignoring all the stares. "The huge guy put Reiji under an obedience spell and I got pissed and attacked him. I wasn't really thinking straight but he suddenly turned into this huge panther almost the size of a horse. I couldn't really get a good look at him cause I was so pissed but he was really strong. I was totally outmatched but I had to get to Reiji, that cat was trying to take him."

"You said it was a panther?" Shura asked, as she picked up an old looking file and pulled out a photo, showing it to him. "This that panther?"

A single nod left the teen, as a troubled look appeared on the woman's face and she pulled out a piece of paper and showed it to him.

"Any of these kids look liked the winged demon?" She asked, as Rin nodded and pointed to a kid with the name Daiki under it.

"What does this have to do with that?" Rin asked, as she sighed and her search team behind her suddenly feel silent.

"That panther you fought was the old leader of Legion." Shura spoke, as Rin stared at her in shock.

"But you guys said he was dead."

"It seems that's not the case." She spoke, as she leaned back a little. "The leader of Legion was know for having nine lives like a cat and was extremely powerful. It was the reason Legion was so well known in the gang world and why they were so well sought out. Gangs around the world would come to try their hand at killing the indestructible reputation Legion held. A few deaths by other gang leader's were recorded but no one kept count how many times he died. The last time he died we thought that was the end, especially when the gang disbanded. However that's not the case."

Without a word she put the photos back in their places and looked at him.

"If Legion's original leader is alive then five of True Crosses students are in terrible danger." She spoke, handing him the paper from before with the pictures on it. Reiji among them, as Rin noticed the guy that had come to Reiji's room to drag him out among them and glared down at it. "Reiji, Daiki, Kota, Nori, and the little brother of Legion's leader, Akito is among them."

"Wait, this asshole is the leader's younger brother?!" Rin yelled as he pointed to the teen's picture and she nodded. "That asshole, he did it on purpose! He was going after his brother cause he knew he was alive and he need Reiji to do it!"

In an instant the paper turned to ash as his flames destroyed it, the rest of his flames in control as Shura stared at him.

"Reiji can see the future so he needed him to lead him right to his brother. He found out he was alive and he had to kill him, but he didn't want Reiji in the middle of it. He tried to get one of the guys to take him back but it failed. That asshole still took him!"

Silence fell over the room, as everyone stared at him. Rin overcome with rage, as he quickly walked out of the room so they didn't have to see him like this and growled. His tail lashing around and his flames flickering on and off as he walked a ways down the hall before he finally crouched down and sat on the floor. The teen wrapping his arms around his knees and closing his eyes, as he tried to calm down. Images of everything flashing through his head, as his body shook. The task becoming impossible, before water suddenly enveloped him. Drops of water falling to the carpet from his dripping hair, as Rin sighed and opened his eyes.

"Thanks, Bon." Rin spoke, as he looked up at saw his classmate holding an empty bucket.

"No, problem. Looked like you need it." He chuckled, as he reached out his free hand. "The other's are waiting so we can narrow the location down. Your head cooled off enough?"

"Yeah." With the simple reply Rin took the hand given to him and was pulled to his feet. "Let's find Reiji."


A sickening thud reached Akito's ears, before he opened his eyes. The shadow of four figures standing in his cell, as he stayed slumped against the wall.

"You're quiet-"

"Leave them alone." Akito interrupted, as Yuji's voice feel silent. "It's me who wants to kill you, I led them all here, I made the mission. It's me you should be punishing, not them."

A chuckle fell over the air, the sound of soft whimpering in the background as Yuji's shadow leaned closer.

"It may be your fault, but you said it yourself. You led them all here, and in turn it's their fault just as much as it's yours. So they deserve punishment in turn."

Without warning the door to the cell opened and someone was thrown at his feet. Broken feathers landing in his lap, as Akito stiffened and tilted his head up a little. The sight itself almost bringing him to the brink of nausea as he stared into Daiki's blank eyes. His teammate naked at his feet and his wings mangled, bruises and cuts littering his skin as he shook. Soft whimpering leaving the phoenix's mouth as he curled up in a ball and for once Kota was completely silent.

"You're teammates have earned they're punishment already, and yours as already been decided." Yuji spoke, as Akito looked up at his brother and softly growled. "I believe watching your teammates in their suffering is perfect for you. So enjoy your new roommate."

With a clang the bared door closed and locked, before his brother left with Reiji and his underlings in tow. Their footsteps echoing through the area, before the door closed behind them. Akito instantly sitting up and ignoring the chain around his neck as he reached out for his teammate.

"Daiki, can you hear me?" Akito spoke quietly, as he reached out and touched the phoenix's shoulder.

A sudden scared cry left the teen, as he scrambled away and curled up against the bars across the cell. His broken wings pressing against the bars and somehow wrapped around him as he shook violently and whimpered. Kota's soft whimpering reaching his ears from down the hall, before the rattling of chains sounded from a little further away and the male's hand hit the cement floor. His gaze staring blankly at his shaking teammate, as he silently leaned back against the wall and harshly swallowed. The chain suddenly feeling tighter as he held back the urge to puke and stared down at the floor.

"I-I'm sorry…"
