Author's Note: Hey guys, thank you for the review. I think we can all say writer's block sucks (lol) So I'm going to try and make this one a little longer, both with the flashback and reality. I realized I may have gone off a bit from the summary as I was reading over my last chapters.

Chapter 4: The demon Akihiko

Rin could see a girl running through the rain her steps echoing through his head. The girl stopped the rain pouring down wetting her hair and making it seem longer. Some of the water being caught on her eyelashes. The girl stopped in front of two men in an alley picking on a small girl.

"Come on don't be so mean." One of the men said.

"Please, just let me go." The girl cried, trying to escape.

"We just need to get some information on one of your friends." The other one said. Both men were tall, one wore glasses and had brown hair and eyes the other wore a baseball cap and brown eyes as well.

"She said leave her alone!" The girl said, both men looking up. Rin thought he recognized the voice and began to walk in front of her to see both fear and determination in her eyes. "It looks like both of you need to learn a lesson on how to treat a girl."

Rin's eyes grew wide as he realized who was standing in front of him. 'Akari?'

Both of the men began to walk away from the young girl and towards Akari, they began to crack their knuckles standing now five feet away. Before they could get any closer Akari took a swing at the one with baseball cap catching him off guard. He stumbled back but quickly recovered both men trying to now double team her. Akari was smaller compared to them and moved swiftly making sure not to cross her legs over the other so she wouldn't trip. She tripped the one with the glasses and continued to move her leg swinging her leg around to hit the one with baseball cap again sending him into the trash near the wall, now leaving an opening for the little girl.

"Come on." Akari said and the little girl hesitated looking at the man, blood coming down the side of his face. Akari made another gesture this time with her hands. The little girl nodded and began to run out the alley Akari following her. She could see tears falling in front of her the little girl obviously beginning to cry. They were about to reach the end of the alley when one of the men grabbed Akari's leg making her fall onto the hard ground. "Keep going!" Akari said to the girl.

"But-

"Don't worry about me I'm going to be fine, just go and don't look back." Akari said and the girl looked hesitant, but it quickly changed to a determined look. The girl nodded and turned around, Akari listening to her steps as they slowly faded away.

"You should be more worried about yourself, you just made a big mistake." The male said, this time sounding different. Akari turned around and her eyes grew wide a gasp escaping her mouth. The man with the glasses now began to change appearance. His eyes more bloodshot, his grin turning more evil, fangs now forming. His head tilted to the side a tail emerging from behind. His hands were now being covered in a black flames.

"What... what are you?" Akari asked beginning to step back wondering what was going on.

"I'm your worst nightmare." His left glass on his glasses cracked in the corner before he quickly disappeared from her sight. Just as quick as he disappeared he reappeared in front of her punching Akari in her stomach. The air knocked out of her falling to the floor. She looked up to see his now clawed hands coming down at her face. Akari rolled to her right and stood up her back now on the brick wall.

The man went after her again, but Akari stopped his blow with her hand. Akari and the man looked in shock as she began to be covered in black flames, not only her hands, but her whole body.

"Look's like we finally found you." The man with the glasses said beginning to laugh.

"What... What is going on!" Akari stuttered as she spoke unable to move due to her growing fear. She could hear rustling from the back of the alley and she slowly turned her head to see the other man standing up. Brushing himself off and looked up to have the same bloodshot look as the man in front of her. His cap now gone to reveal spiky black hair his flames growing as he stepped closer.

That was the last thing Akari remembers before waking up in Grassy- Hollow [still a tacky name, lol]

"RIN!" Rin turned to see all eyes on him. "I've been calling your name like for forever, what are you doing." Shura called to him from where she and the man stood. Now however the old man was closer standing a few feet in front of Shura, as if he gave up on trying to catch up to him. A thousand thoughts flooded into Rin's mind, not sure which one to believe.

'So she really is a demon.' 'But where is she now' He thought as he looked back over to the group of scientist and found the male scientist with the glasses once again. He looked closer to see a crack in his glasses in the left hand corner. Rin began to step closer, grabbing his sword ready to unsheathe it. As he did his blue flames began to surround him widely. All the scientist gasped and started to fall back except for the man.

"Rin what are you " Shura was cut off when the male with the glasses began to laugh maniacally throwing his glasses to the side and beginning to be encased in black flames. "What is going on?" Shura wondered looking back to the rest of the group who stood in shock. She turned back to Rin.

"YOU ARE A DEMON. Who are you." Rin yelled his flames growing due to his ever growing anger towards the demon. All the man did was laugh before he charged at Rin, which he blocked. The others stood still as they exchanged blows mainly in the air. Finally Rin landed a hit with his sword sending him to the ground. Rin stood there waiting for the dust to clear. All of there eyes grew as they saw the demon standing his head leaning forward an evil smile appearing on his face as the sword wound healed itself as if Rin never struck him.

The demon then leapt towards Rin, catching him off guard sending him flying into the wall behind him. The demon then went for Rin again going for the kill.

"Rin!"

"You have to get out of there!" His friends cried wanting there friend to be okay. However before the demon got to Rin, Shura stepped in front of him drawing her sword from her chest deflecting the demon's attack.

"I'm going to ask you one time... Who. Are. You." Shura demanded, her glare more deadly than the demon's.

"My name is Akihiko Ichi, but that name means nothing to me anymore." Akihiko said, his voice sounding raspy as if he hasn't had anything to drink in days. "Now I am only demon."

"Then why are you here pretending to be a scientist!" Bon yelled beginning to grow angry from how little they really knew about this mission. Now everyone stood behind Shura ready to help her in the fight. Even Rin who was now next to Bon, his scar from the previous demons still open and bleeding however now more slowly.

"To see that." Akihiko said pointing to his right, but still looking at the group refusing to move his eyes. They looked over to where he was pointing to see a large glass tube with many tubes going into the top, the end leading to a machine. The glass tube having a mist on it preventing them from seeing what was inside. "I have been looking for her for years when my partner and I finally found her. However my partner did not make it to this point in our plan, but no matter."

"How could you! I trusted you." The old man said, him and the other scientist now backing into a small corner where there were many machines to that worked large microscopes and other things.

"You never would have found out if it weren't for him!" Akihiko said now pointing to Rin who still stood behind Shura, Rin grew tense. "You saw right through my disguise, however I never would have guessed you were the son of Satan. Even so you won't ruin my plans. After I'm done with you I'm going to make them continue their experiments on her." He smiled wanting to continue the fight to prove he was stronger than one of Satan's offsprings.

"Akari." Rin said, making Shura turn around to look at him.

"How do you know that name?" Shura wondered curiosity filling her eyes.

"Can someone please tell me what is going on!" Bon said beginning to grow very furious. Rin began to walk forward and now stood next to Shura, his sword out in front of him.

"That night, you and your partner were talking to a girl in an alley when Akari came to help her." Akihiko's eyes grew wondering how Rin knew what happened that night. "Akari would have beaten you, but you turned into your true form showing her your demon self, which then somehow activated her's. So the girl you were looking for was right in front of you. What you want her for I don't know, but I don't care. You took my friend and I'm taking her back!" Rin almost yelled those last few words, each sentence slowly growing louder.

"There's no way, Akari is a demon." Shura said, but barely loud enough for even Rin to hear.

"I've heard that name before." Konekomaru began. "She was an exorcist at the same level as Shura, a very good one. However one day she went on a mission and she disappeared. Everyone looked for their lost friend, but could never find her." After that Bon began to have a smile on his face.

"Well alright then. Our mission is to save Akari who I'm guessing is in that glass tube. Seems easy enough." Bon said joining Rin and Shura in their growing line of exorcist. "Let's take him down." Bon said and they all began to charge at Akihiko.

All of their attacks seemed pointless as Akihiko either deflected the attack or when he took the damage he healed just as fast. All Rin could think about was Akari and what she must be doing

'Does she know we're here or is she till in Grassy-Hollow.' Rin thought as he deflected one of Akihiko's attack piercing his skin. Akihiko stood up straightening his back as he healed himself. Rin was beginning to get very frustrated with the demon when he felt a sharp pain in his side. Looking down he saw three claw marks from the previous group of demons. He saw that it hadn't healed yet realizing that some of the holy spell was in his wound.

Rin eyes filled with joy as he got an idea.

Heyo. It's not that much longer than the previous chapters, but I figured it was a nice place to end. Hope you guys are having a good week and I'll talk to ya later :)
