First Kiss
Not making excuses. School is school. DF, kittymotheangry, thanks for the reviews and here you go!~
"Rin...", was all Tanuki could say a the scene before him. A spirit just very stupidly took possession of Satan's spawn, standing there cackling at it's achievement. Nor Yukio or the group of Ex Wires had a will to move due to shock of the current situation. This cackling was cut short by a familiar voice snapping,"The hell is so damn funny, asshole?", it hissed, "I'm not that easy to control! Get out of my body, damn it!"
Without a doubt it was Rin clearly fighting back with the spirit inside of him. Rin's lips turned upright deviously at the previous statement,"Silly boy, I'm not trying to control you...just slow you down a bit." Before anyone could react a rain of shadows came down, cutting the unsuspecting group of exorcists. "Guys!", Rin shouted as his friends screamed in agony. He made an attempt to run and help them but froze mid way.
"Now, now...let's not be hasty.", the spirit laughed.
"Bastard.", Rin growled. The spirit cackled inside of him, restraining Rin from moving. This was bad. If he can't move, it'd be impossible to assist his friends.
All he could do at the moment was watch helplessly as his friends suffered. Rin made another attempt to move, but only succeeded in increasing his flames. The blue fire had made a few of the raining shadows burn away but had also caused the trees to catch fire as well. Rin cursed under his breathe at his failure. He grimaced in annoyance as the spirit laughed once again.
"That was a good try. I honestly didn't think you'd be fast enough to stop the next set, let alone use those flames of yours, but you won't be able to do it again.", before Rin could protest another rain of attacks hit the Ex Wires, but this time it was a yellowish light source. Yukio was fast to react, shooting his guns at the bright beams and doing his best to keep them from hitting his students. It was proven successful, with the exception of some burning cuts he received, but it was enough to spare the Ex Wires some pain if only a little.
The spirit snarled,"How troublesome.", he paused, smirking through Rin's lips,"Well then...", Rin was too slow to respond before his hand was forcefully raised to draw his sword. Only a second later he attacked his brother, sending a quick slash towards the unsuspecting Okumura's hand. Yukio screamed at the pain, bending over and dropping his pistols. "Yukio!", Rin gasped and bit his lip as his twin bled, guilt radiating off of him. Guilt soon transitioned to anger as the controller of his body let out a hearty chuckle,"Much better. He was becoming a nuisance."
Rin released a hostile growl, "Why you little!" In a fit of rage Rin swung his sword, blind to the damage he caused to the forest. The spirit laughed again, which was really beginning to piss him off to no end.
"Keep struggling, it's pointless!"
"SHUT UP!", Blue covered the entire area now due to the half demon's rampage.
"Oi, Okumura! Get a damn grip already!", Bon shouted from below, currently gripping his arm with a single eye closed, still recovering from pain. Instead of a response he was attacked with a blue flame speeding towards him. Bon dodged it, rolling away just in time. "Shit, we've lost him. Shima!"
Right on que the priest whipped out his K'rik, "On it!" The two simultaneously chanted, using whatever skills they've practiced to exorcise the spirit out of Rin.
"Stay out the way, filthy humans!", at this point it was hard to tell who was speaking. The two voices were now intertwined with one another, echoing viciously. Rin swung Kurikara aimlessly, slashing everything in his path. He screamed and howled as if he was still struggling to break free but at the same time lash out at the spirit possessing him. Bon hissed as a small fragment of the flames zipped past him nearly hitting his shoulder.
Tanuki couldn't watch any longer, he stood without much effort despite the previous attacks. It might be risky, but he had to do something. "Keep chanting.", the pinkette informed the other two boys. They tried to protest but Tanuki had already proceeded too far.
Hey, hey...give me a break. , Shura thought turning back momentarily from fighting the large spheres of black fog surrounding her. Rin noticed the pinkette but didn't stop in his blind fury. As Tanuki drew closer, he jumped backwards far enough to land on a tree trunk. "Stay back!", the spirit's voice spoke. Tanuki ignored the demand and stepped towards the older Okumura once more.
"I said stay back!", another slash was produced this time aiming directly towards the new Ex Wire.
"Watch out!", Konekomaru yelled.
Tanuki dodged in time, sprinting towards his target and jumping high enough to reach him. Rin pulled back, sending more flames his way. Tanuki moved aside, blocking the sword in time and kicking Rin directly in the ribs. He became stunned, trying to recover.
Now! , Tanuki took advantage of this. He outstretched his hands placing them on Rin's chest. Purple rings that was much like ripples in a puddle appeared across the former's body, Tanuki made quick jabs on his joints causing the rings to make a music like 'ding' sound. Only a few seconds later, the spirit swiftly exited the Knight's body. "Sensei!", Tanuki called out.
Yukio wasted no time, he collected his pistols and fired. Bon, Shima, and Konekomaru finished their chants making the smoke like demon disappear into thin air. "I-Impossible...you haven't won, exorcists...I-I'll be back!", after those words were uttered it vanished. Everyone sighed in relief, but it wasn't over yet.
Rin was still in a blind rage. Not yet. It's not over, it's still in his system. , Tanuki shook. Again, this was risky but it had to be done. With his mind made up, the pinkette took the other boy's hand- winced a little when Rin angrily sank his claws into his skin- then spoke softly,"Rin, calm down please." No one could have guessed what happened next. It wasn't the way Tanuki's mouth started to glow a light purple, no, what surprised everyone was the fact he had just connected that mouth with an angry Rin's. Said demon had snapped right out of his fury from shock. He didn't know what to do, but he must still be a bit under the spirit's influence because his eye lids- for whatever reason- began to shut on their own.
~Blue Exorcist~
After returning to True Cross, everyone was immediately treated. It was going to take a while for them to recover from all that exposure to the demon's fog. Not to mention all of those cuts and burns they received from both Rin and their defeated target. They all sat in the infirmary, chatting idly with a few complaints here and there.
Yukio stepped in, "You all did well, now I'd advise you head back to your dorm rooms and rest. It's been a long day."
It didn't take long for the others to comply, in fact they would've ran if it hadn't been for the wounds. Rin and Tanuki stayed behind with Yukio. The younger Okumura excused himself for a moment, leaving the two alone. A pregnant silence fell between them, Rin was the first to break the ice.
"What's wrong, Tanu? You've been quite the whole ride back."
It took a while for him to respond, he fidgeted underneath the white sheets. "R-Rin...I-I'm sorry..."
Rin blinked in confusion,"Huh? For what?"
Tanuki stuttered,"U-Um...you know for k-kicking you e-earlier. A-And that...other thing too." he couldn't bare to elaborate on it, his face was warm enough as it is.
Rin understood, and shook his head, "No, no. Don't worry about it. I know you only did it to help me out. Although, I gotta say...that was one hell of a kick. I'll probably feel that for the next two weeks." he smirked playfully, crossing his arms.
His attempt to cheer up Tanuki failed however, the boy looked down even more guilty. "I'm so sorry..", he whimpered.
Rin's smile faded, "Hey, hey...it's okay. I'm not mad." he patted his head to comfort him. Tanuki nodded, whipping the tears away before they could fall. Rin smiled again, ruffling his pink hair until it was all over the place causing the other to giggle and beg for him to stop. The demon snickered a 'Nope.' and continued to make the other laugh.
"As sweet as this is, I'm afraid I'll have to cut it short.", Yukio had returned with a rather unsettling expression,"Mr. Kirishima, the headmaster would like to have a word with you."
Tanuki's smile disappeared from his lips and his sparkly ocean blue eyes became empty, he nodded. Rin gave a concerned glance as he stood, he didn't like that expression on the other's face. He looked so...broken.
"W-Wait! Shouldn't he at least rest first?!", Rin protested.
Yukio turned his back, "There's no need, trust me."
"Yukio!"
"I-It's okay, Rin. I'll be fine. Don't wait up for me, okay?", Tanuki smiled sadly before following Yukio out the infirmary.
Rin just sat there, silent. But he still wanted to know...why was Tanuki called by that shitty little clown? And why did he look so terrified?
Aaaaand that's a wrap for now!~ Sorry if it's a bit short. So~ wadda think of this chappie?~ ;) Let me know in a review! Until next time!~ Ja!~
