I do not own Blue Exorcist


Luna dreamed of her past, small disjoint clips played before her minds eyes before they settled down to when she was about 7 years old, she hadn't brought this up to Rin, she had felt that this was a bit more personal and didn't want to share it.

Luna was lying on her back, stairing at the seiling of her little cell, dazed as they had recently found that inecting holdwater into her had the effect that tranquilizer had had it had any effect on her, what they didn't know, or care about, was the fact that it felt like fire, It burned her from the inside out as her blood carried it through her system, They where clever about it, using enough to sedate her but not enough to kill her. As she lay their in the empty cell, silently hurting, she cast her mind over the days experiments. The nameless faces of the scientists questioning faces as they observed her as she was put in the usual restraints wired up to various boxes with flashing lights that monitored her vitals and brain activity, and submerged in water where they watched as frantically paniced against the restraints as she ran out of breath, passed out, pulled her out and waited until she woke up, and then did it again, each time saying how long she had gone before her vitals had began to drop. Before giving her nightly dose of sedetives, not that it would have mattered with how weak she was from drowning repeatedly, and carried her back into her cell where she would lie until she passed out from exhaustion to be woken the next morning to do it all over again, maybe with different ideas.

As she lay their, she wondered what the outside world was like, what the doctors lives where like outside of the facility. She had never seen anything outside the windowless metal walls of the facility, only pictures in books that every now and then a doctor would give her. She never knew why they did it, maybe it was to see how she reacted to gaining knowledge of what was outside the walls, maybe it was because they pittied her. To her surprise, the door of her cell opened, she turned her head to the side wondering why they wanted her now, hoping they where just coming in to check her temperature or something. Through her daze, she was surprised to see a boy with golden blonde hair and blue eyes, he looked around her age and he aproached cautiously.

''Luna?'' he said her name, his high pitched voice a mix of pity and curiosity. Luna was weary of the boy as she had never met anyone her age before. He shifted his weight from side to side, twiddling his thumbs. She summoned her strength and sat up clumsily and looked at him, not sure what to do or say. Before she could say anything, he smiled innocently and said

''Erm, Hi, I'm A, my dad is a scientist here, I heard him talking about you and wanted to come and see you, I stole the keys from his jacket and snuck through,'' He laughed mischeiviously. He noticed her questioning look, ''My friends call me A because my dads a scientist and my name begins with it, I didn't like them calling me Exibit A so it becaue A.'' Luna shook her head.

''Aren't you afraid of me? I'm evil and can kill people, I've never done it but I've heard the scientists say it before.'' she said, horsly, her throat sore from spitting up water earlier. To her surprise, the boy just smiled wildly, his cheeks red.

''Nope,'' He chimed, ''I cam here wondering if you would be my friend, there are only adults in the building and my dad home schools me, so I was hoping we could play together.'' He put a hand behind his head, while pulling out a small rectangular box and held it out in front of him.

''Have you ever heared of card games before?'' he said. As Luna shook her head, the boy opened the box and clumsily took out the pile of cards and started arranging them. Luna observed with interest as he mixed the cards up with some skill and started putting them into two piles, stopping when their where seven cards in each pile. He smiled again.

''Ok, I'll teach ya, This game is called Jim Rummy, my dad showed me how to play, when I was in school everyone thought I was weird for liking it but I think its fun.'' he said, his cheeks growing. Luna picked the cards up and looked at them, A proceeded to explain to her how to play and after a short while, they where playing the game and for the first time in Luna's life, she felt the alien feeling of a smile brake across her face as she won a game and the boy shouted out in protest, throwing the cards down. The two children jumped as they heared someone marching down the corridor, A panicked and gathered the cards up.

''I'll come back again I promise!'' he whispered, and ran out, closing the door behind him and locking it. Luna just staired at the door. The face of the ever smiling boy burned into her mind. She couldn't explain it but she had a strange feeling, wishing the boy could stay with her and play cards forever. She bent her head, wondering what kind of life he lead and thinking of the questions she would ask him next time. She lay down again, her mind burning with questions as the holywater continued to burn her and she fell into a peaceful sleep for the first time.

After that day the boy returned every day, they sat playing cards while he talked about his day, sometimes for hours, sometimes for less than 10 minutes, every evening Luna would await his return. She never really spoke to him, she just listened and tried to picture what he said about getting into trouble when he didn't focus while his dad tought him about sciance and maths, while his mum yelled at him for trying to steal cookies and other sweets. He often brought her things, pictures of him when he was at school, cakes and other things that his mum would bake and even brought her some toys that she could hide under her bed. Eventually he taught her how to play solitaire and gave her her very own pack of cards so she could play alone. He visited her every night right up until that day when she was taken away and woke up surrounded by things she had never seen, some of which where things A had talked to her.

Her dream focused on that memory, when she had just woken up and her father lay beside her. As she recognised the familiar white coat that the other scientists wore. She sat up and pulled her knees to her chin and wrapped her arms around them, trying to make sence of her surroundings and the man lieing next to her. She was shocked when a cloud of smoke erupted before her and a man in strange clothing stood before her. She had recoiled from the man, not knowing what to think, should she run? She thought. But before she could do anything, The man held the point of a sword to her.

''Hello Luna, It's a shame we had to meet under such dire circumstances. I have hereby been sent by the Vatican to exterminate you and your father.'' Luna's face turned to the man who lay unconcious besides her. ''He's in a sorry state, Poor man was bordering on insanity when he threw it all away to come and break you out. It would be a shame for me to let the success of all of his hard work go to waste like that.'' Luna didn't understand any of that about this Vatican, she didn't even know what exterminate meant. The man before her walked over in front of the man and bent down to examine him, Luna, still groggy from her usual holy water sedetive from however many hours before, but something sturred in her.

''did you say father?'' She asked, but before she could do or say anything more, she watched as the demon lifted the sword he held and plunged it into where the mans heart would have stood. Luna, shock draining what colour she had from her face, streatched out a weak hand towards the man, She tried to scream but all Air had left her, She simply watched as the man drew the sword from the mans chest and stood up, pulling the now dead man off the floor and throwing him effortlessly over his shoulder, being careful not to let where the wound was to touch his pristine white suit. He looked down at Luna who was holding onto conciousness for dear life.

''I am going to leave you here, Your father has left you something in the back over their. The world has came to something of a calm and its getting bouring. I hope you will provide me with some much needed entertainment. Well, It was nice meeting you Luna. I hope we meet again.'' and with that the man dissapeared in another cloud of smoke. Luna dragged herself to the bag and shuffled through it, their was an envelope full of paper she had never seen before, all with the number 50 in the corner, their where a lot of these strange pieces of paper, all with the same red pictures on them, she put it back and looked at the flat envelope that had her name written. She opened it and read it, The words her father had hastily sunk into her. After she had read it, she felt empty, even more so than she had before. An empty shell that was just...there. She probably would have cried or screamed but she felt nothing, she didn't even know how. With that thought a smile pulled at her lips as she said out loud without meaning to, ''You need to have a soul to have feelings,'' she thought before she slumped to her side and lost conciousness once again, still clutching the letter.


Again her dream shifted, when the image came into focus again, she was looking down at her hands which where sprouting long sharm claws that where covered in blood and bits of gore, in her dream she remembered her violent shaking that made it almost impossible to pull herself to her feet, she screamed out loud as she saw what she was kneeling over, the pile of what she could only guess was once human. She looked around, their was more blood and gore all around, spreading as the rain carried it across the pavement. She looked up to see rouring flames the colour of the beautiful Bluebells that had flowered in her mothers garden. The blaze was immence, it had consumed the wide row of buildings on one side of the street and was turning the buildings black. The roof of most of the buildings had caved in and Luna could hear shouts and screams coming from within the building. She couldn't move, paralyzed by the sights in front of her. She just Knelt there, watching as the buildings started collapsing in on itself and the occsional survivor ran out, patting at their clothes to put out the flames. She hadn't realised it but a huge croud of people had gathered at both ends of the street, enclosing it. They where shouting towards her but she couldn't understand what they where saying or understand if they where of concern or something else. She stood up shakily, looking around, Fortunately, she saw her bag somewhere off to her left on the floor, she picked it up and to her relief, found her weapons and the note her father had left her, the money she had had before being picked up was gone but that didn't matter right now. She started running towards the crown, seeing the fear on their faces as the the blood covered girl ran towards them. They parted to her, not trying to stop her. She kept running and eventually found herself in an ally with a dead end, she ran to the wall and just stood there, banging her fists in fury against the wall as if she had no other way to go. The wall began to cave and some chunks of brick fell to the ground. She let her arms fall limply to her sides and turned around, letting herself lean against the wall and slide down it, Burying her face into her hands.

Some time later, A voice she never thought she would hear again called her name, The voice was the same as it had been years ago, only it wasn't the voice of a child anymore. She looked up to see shoulder length golden hair that framed the face of the boy who had stopped her from slipping into insanity years before. He was wearing the same coat that the scientists had worn only it was black and he held a sword in his hand, his face full of terror as he looked her up and down as she shakily stood up. She lifted an arm and drunkly started walking towards him, fighting with herself to remain steady as her jelly like legs plodded one in front of the other.

''A...h...hel...help...me...'' she said, it came out as a broken whisper, muffled from the huge lump in her throat. She stopped in her tracks as the boy shook his head and raised his sword in her dierection, Eyes streaming.

''STAY BACK DEMON!'' He shouted, clenching his bared teeth, fresh tears falling as he looked like he regretted shouting it the moment he had. He was shaking all over, suddenly dropping his sword, he collapsed to his hands and knees and bawled. ''WH..WHY DID YOU DO IT? WHY THOSE PEOPLE! YOU RIPPED THEM APART!'' he shreiked, his voice breaking. ''What happened to you?...why am I even asking?...your a demon, demons kill people...BUT YOU! I never stoped looking for you! I was so sad but at the same time happy you managed to break out of the facility. How did this happen...'' He stopped and just sobbed. Luna simply stood there staring, like when they where little, she had nothing to say, she didn't know what to say, she dropped her arm to her side and looked down, face contorting with an ache she couldn't identify. The boy before her looked up and he forced himself into a kneeling position, sword lay forgotten on the floor. He almost smiled as even more tears streaked his cheeks.

''I didn't realise it at the time but back then I fell in love with you. I was actually going to tell you about it the day you dissapeared. After you left I stopped being such a layabout and focused on my studies, I became an exorcist officially a few months ago. I finally tracked down your parents cottage a few weeks ago but when I got there, it was abandoned. I knew you hadn't long since left so I followed your trail. I knew you where around here somewhere. I never thought I would find you after you murdered thse innocent people...'' Luna's sorrow turned to anger in an instant, she looked at the boy with rage and screamed, alarming him.

''HOW DARE YOU! THEY WHEREN'T INNOCENT, THEY WHERE MURDERERS AN RAPISTS! THEY DESERVED WHAT THEY GOT...'' Her vison clouded as it had some hours previous before she had blacked out and done what she had. She was quiverring in rage, the shock of his confession had left her mind. ''I CAN'T HELP WHAT I AM BUT I'M STILL A HUMAN BEING! I NEVER DESERVED WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. How can you stand there and tell me you loved me after pointing your sward at me and calling me a demon?'' the rage withered away and left nothing but sadness. Her eyes burned with an unfamiliar feling but she gritted her teeth and it dissapeared. A studdenly stood up, he ran towards her, disregarding his sword. Luna was alarmrd and took a step back before he grapped ether sides of her neck, forcing her face to his and kissed her, he kissed her feircly and after getting over the shock, she kised him back. Although she didn't really have feelings, she felt something squeeze her heart, something unidentifyable. He released her and stepped back, pressing his forehead against hers. Luna's face burned as what had just happened hit her. Their was silance between the two as their cheeks glowed with embarassment. Luna saw him clench his fists, He lifted his head and looked at her and he smiled sadly.

''Luna, you need to go, stronger exorcists willl be here soon. When this dies down and I get stronger, I'll come and find you. GO!'' He shouted after she didn't move. She jumped at his sudden change in tone, gave a weak smile and nodded.

''see you soon, Promise me you will never cut that hair.'' was all's she said as she walked over, planted another kiss on his lips, smiled at him one more time and turned and ran out of the ally. She ran and ran, unable to get rid of the memory of him kissing her out of her head. She touched her lips as she ran and couldn't help the sad smile that spread across her lips. Even in her dream, her eyes clenched as she slept. She hadn't seen A since that time and had long since given up hope of seeing him again. If she did ever see him again, it would probably be when he was sent to exterminate her.
