Six years ago

Benio's POV

The tears won't stop, I didn't know how long I cried. Two people I love were dead because of me, because I was weak, because I couldn't protect myself. I was sure that they hated me for it, those two who were crushed by a True Serpent level Impurity, were my parents, Saki and Hyouga Adashino. I wasn't sure that I even had the right to here, at this funeral. I heard speeches of my parents, but I didn't want to accept that they were gone. I wasn't thinking straight, but I felt my legs walked towards their cold bodies. Every step I took, I kept recalling my parent's last battle, and how they were killed. I went on my knees and cried on their coffins.

"Benio…" I felt my hand on my shoulder, I turned and saw my beloved brother, Yuuto Adashino. He was deeply worried about me. Before I knew it, I embraced my brother as though he was going to disappear.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry, Nii-sama!" I cried, what I felt was more than guilt. "It's my fault! It's my fault that our parents were killed! Tou-sama… and Kaa-sama… THEY WOULD BE STILL ALIVE IF IT WASN'T FOR ME! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU! DON'T DIE! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"…don't cry, Benio. It wasn't your fault. I'm here with you." Assured my brother. "…without fail, we'll get stronger, then we'll find that Basara, and without fail, we will avenge our parents!'

"You… You promise?" I looked at him in the eyes.

"Yeah, absolutely!" assured Yuuto. That day, me and Nii-sama made a promise that we become the strongest Exorcists, to avenge our parents, and to make sure no one suffered like us again. However, that week, my life was changing in ways I didn't want them to. Due to the fact my parents died, I lost citizenship to remain on my home island, so me and my brother were forced into exile by our own government! That's not all, it also meant that Nii-sama and I had to live over 500 kilometers away from each other, they were separating me from my beloved brother!

"THEY'RE SEPERATING US?! WHY?!" I questioned in fear and rage.

"It can't be helped! It's our family traditions!" explained Yuuto, he was not happy with it either. "For generations, the women of the Adashino family have to inherit the headship of the family! There's… there isn't really a place for me there. I… I'll be taken back to our father's side of the family, the Ijika family."

"No way… Why? Why does it have to be this way?!" tears were forming in my eyes.

"…it's just the way it has to be." Stated Yuuto.

"…No."

"…Benio-."

"NO! THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO US! I WON'T ACCEPT IT!" I bawled from the top of my lungs. "THERE… THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY! THERE HAS TO BE!"

"I don't want them to separate us either!" yelled Yuuto, trying to calm me down. "But… it'll be okay! We'll meet again someday!"

"NO! WE JUST LOST OUR PARENTS! I CAN'T LOSE YOU TOO NII-SAMA!" I cried, showing my tears to my brother.

"Benio…" I tackled my brother into a heartbreaking hug. I sobbed into his chest.

"I can't… I can't lose you too!" I wept, my tears couldn't stop. 'Why… why must everyone leave me?!'

"Benio, even if we're apart… we're family no matter what!" assured Nii-sama. "As long as we both aim for the top as Exorcists, we'll meet again someday. I'm sure of it!"

"Really? You really mean that?" I questioned as I looked at my brother.

"Yeah, after all we promised each other, didn't we? That one day, we'll avenge our parents together." Smiled Yuuto.

"Nii-sama…" I watched walk towards the cliff, seeing the view of our home island one last time.

"To continue exorcising Impurities, to continue winning, that, is the fate of our Adashino House." Stated my beloved my brother. "It may sound like a lot to burden for us kids, but… our world is counting on us! That's why… I'll do my best!"

"Nii-sama…" I envied Nii-sama's sense of justice, but I smiled with resolve. "Yeah! I'll do my best as well! More so than Tou-sama! More so than Kaa-sama! And of course, even more so than Nii-sama! I… I will become the strongest Exorcist!"

"Fufufu, you're so promising, Benio." Nii-sama placed his hand on my head and rubbed it. "But… I will become the strongest Exorcist before you do."

"Mou! That's not fair, Nii-sama!" I sassed.

"…ehehehe, well, in any case. Here, Benio." Nii-sama pulled out something in his pocket. I turned my head in confusion.

"What's this?" I asked. "For me?"

"Yeah, they're hairpins, try it on. I know they'll look nice on you." Smiled Yuuto Adashino. I did as I'm told and tried them on. "You look cute, Benio."

"Thank you, Nii-sama!" I was really grateful that he gave me these hairpins, they were a constant reminder of our sibling bond, and our promise together. It had been four years since we last saw each other. I've been training every day to get stronger, to get faster, anyway to become the strongest Exorcist, in order to fulfil my promise to Nii-sama. But…

"I have some deeply tragic news, Benio Adashino. The Hiinatsuki Dormitory, where your brother, Yuuto Ijika has been staying, is…" Stated an Exorcist, my world shattered as I heard the news. The Hiinatsuki Dormitory, where Nii-sama was staying, was overrun by a herd of Impurities. "…your brother, Yuuto Ijika is KIA."

"No… you're lying. You have to be lying!" I trembled, memories of my brother, and my family flashed in my mind, and I was overwhelmed by despair.

"Benio-sama-." Granny tried to comfort me, but I was too angry to listen.

"YOU'RE LYING! HE'S NOT DEAD! HE CAN'T BE DEAD! HE HAS TO BE ALIVE!" I screamed, unable to accept the truth. "THIS ISN'T FUNNY! WE PROMISED EACH OTHER WE'LL MEET AGAIN SOMEDAY! WE PROMISED EACH OTHER WE'LL AVENGE OUR PARENTS TOGETHER! WE SWORE THAT WE BECOME THE STRONGEST EXORCISTS TOGETHER! NII-SAMA CAN'T BE DEAD! NOT AFTER HE PROMISED ME!"

"…I am deeply sorry, but we found traces your brother's dead body that perished in the flames." revealed the Exorcist, I widen my eyes in horror. "…there isn't anything left of him."

I felt my heart stop, water flowed from my eyes, and I gripped my heart. I couldn't control my breathing, how could I after learning such horror. My entire family was killed, and I couldn't stop any of their deaths.

"Benio-sama…" Granny tried to reach out to me, but I ran in rage and heartbreak. I wanted to escape from my despair, but nothing could help me, no one can. "BENIO-SAMA!"

It happened again, I lost someone I love again! I kept falling as I ran, but my and heart wouldn't let me stop. No amount of physical pain, could be compared to the pain I felt in my bleeding heart. I crashed on my bed, I grabbed the sheets and pulled them towards me. I cried and wailed in a heartbreaking scream.

"Nii-sama… Nii-sama you liar! You promised me! You promised me that you wouldn't die!" I cried. "Tou-sama… Kaa-sama… Nii-sama…! Why…?! Everyone, why?! WHY DO YOU ALL LEAVE ME?!"

Present time

"I was the one who killed them. I was the one who killed your brother. With this arm!" revealed my friend, who saved me many times, who taught me many things. I was appalled from the confession. "Unfortunately, I am unable to forget someone like Yuuto, because he was the last cadet I killed. That noisy cyclops… he was earsplitting to the very end, trying to tell me we were friends and yelling my name, I honestly wished I silenced him sooner."

"Rokuro… YOU…!" All I could see in his eyes, was that of a monster, who slaughtered of his own family and my brother! Everything I remembered, everything we had been through, I thought I knew him, but I was wrong. All I could remember him do… was manipulate me!

'…I quitted Exorcism …I hate exorcists.'

'…you're noisy, just call me Rokuro.'

'…you're so noisy I actually want to die …I have no interest in becoming the Miko, yet alone an Exorcist. I have no reason to waste my time on you.'

'…I've committed a sin …one I could never atone for …while in search of strength. Would you do anything to get stronger? Even if it meant sacrificing something you cared about?'

'…if I could save someone, I'll accept whatever sins I have to commit, that's not a bad line. I… really wish it were true.'

'…Benio Adashino, I'll be waiting, for you to take the Miko title from me. I told you, I don't want to be an Exorcist, perhaps I did give up on myself, but… I don't give up on others.'

'If there is something in common between the both of us, we both watched our families die. It's true we have chosen different paths, however, because we have the same trauma, I could still hear it, the Melancholy within your heart. I could hear it every night that I can't ignore you. I'm not doing this as your fiancé, I'm not doing this because I'm your partner, I'm doing this because I'm your friend. And friends don't leave their comrades crying. Also, I'm doing this because I want to. I don't have everything, I lost friends, my family, and my home. I could still hear them every night for the past two years, 'why didn't you save me', 'why did I save you', 'I hate you', 'I wished never you existed'. That's why I'm weak, that's why I hear them.'

'…Of course I'm scared, but still… I've lost my family once… I won't lose another again!'

'…Adashino, although you have lost, remember… you were a lot faster than me. You've already mastered the Skanda Talisman, and you managed to chain equip six Talismans, those are some of the things I've never did. You're strong, that's why I had to make effort to beat you.'

'I've… failed to save my family.'

'…It's nothing…thank you, Benio.'

'…do people need a reason to help someone?'

'Benio, I want you say this. None of it is my fault.'

'ARE YOU THAT STUPID?! WHAT WOULD YOU ACCOMPLISH IF YOU DIE?! YOU TALK LIKE THERE'S MEANING IF YOU DIE! TELL ME THIS, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU WERE KILLED?! WHAT WOULD EVERYONE IN SEIKA, IN KYOTO, IN SCHOOL DO IF THEY FOUND YOUR ROTTING CORSPE?! IF YOU'RE SO SMART THEN TELL ME, WHAT GOOD WILL COME OF THAT?!'

'…then I'll make it my fight …no, I'll make it our fight. This one time only, I'll be an Exorcist again.'

'I've lost the right to become an Exorcist, but I don't care, as long as I could help someone, I'll use my cursed arm to save people. Also, Benio Adashino, if your really parents resented you, they wouldn't have sacrificed themselves for the child they love. I could be wrong, but I'm sure they didn't entrust you with a mission, they wanted to give you a chance to live. Think about yourself a bit more, Ohagi Yaro.'

'…we'll kick his ass someday.'

'…I didn't want it hear it, your noisy Melancholy. When I heard you crying, I felt as though I needed to help you… no, it made me want to help you… Also… it hurts, seeing you vulnerable… I guess… I saw myself in you.'

'Whenever you feel weak, seek for help. When you want to be independent, let others support you.'

'…I'm not a fan of fighting… but, I'll help you get stronger.'

'Yeah, it first I didn't really like him, he had been using a lot of space in my room with his books, he got noisy when he bragged about being strong, it made me want to beat him. Before we knew it, we were rivals.'

'And while I'm at it, I'll talk about the others at Hiinatsuki, okay?'

'…everyone at Hiinatsuki …are they really okay with me becoming one again?'

'…At Hiinatsuki, the ones that killed his family… were the ones with green Kuji-kiris.'

'Remember this, Benio Adashino, a real sin… is something you can never atone for. If you really feel sorry, then do what you have to do… as an Exorcist.'

'…my master once told me, when people die, they return to the stars, and they watch over their loved ones for over eternity. That's why… whenever I look at the stars… I feel like I'm never alone.'

'I'm not a nice person. I just don't want any regrets, that's all.'

'After we end the war between us and Impurities, I'll... open an orphanage. I want hear the children laugh, like I did back at Hiinatsuki.'

"…How long have you been lying to me?!" I pulled out a charmed blade in hatred. "Was anything you told me true?! Were they all just lies?!"

"…" Rokuro faced the ground, but I didn't care.

"You… YOU JUST HAVE BEEN USING ME HAVING YOU?! FOR YOUR SICK LITTLE GAME! I… I…! I WILL KILL YOU LIKE YOU KILLED MY BROTHER! BAN MACHOUBUKU! KYU-KYU NYO RITSU RYO!" hatred and vengeance took complete control of my actions, Rokuro jumped back, dodging my attacks. I kept charging at him like a wild animal, the more that murderer dodged and block my swords, the more I wanted to make him bleed, the more I wanted to make him suffer. "How dare you! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU CALLED YOURSELF AN EXORCIST! HOW DARE YOU PLAYED WITH MY HEART! HOW DARE YOU CALLED YOURSELF MY FRIEND! HOW DARE YOU BURNED MY BROTHER! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, YOU MONSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"

That killer suddenly grabbed his chest really tight, he stilled suffered the deep cuts given to him by Seigen. Without a hint of hesitation, I aimed my sword for his head, but he blocked it with his right arm. I cut across his forearm, but he didn't bleed, instead steam came out his arm, blinding me. In that instance, he grabbed my leg pocket and thrusted his left fist into my gut. Even without any enchantments on him, he sent me flying. I rolled against the hard and dirt stone, ten meters away from my brother's killer.

'What happen?! What is this strength?!' I thought in rage, I didn't realize it, but we were surrounded by Impurities, they were attracted by the sound of Rokuro's Arm. I stood up and snapped my eyes opened, as I saw Rokuro running towards a Gate to the human world. My mind was instantly focused on not letting him escape my sights. "DON'T YOU DARE RUN FROM ME YOU COWARD! I AM NOT THROUGH WITH YOU YET!"

He took away my Hiten Shunkyaku, and my swords were slowing me down. I ran faster than my legs could bear, I didn't care what happens to me, I wanted to avenge Nii-sama, I wanted that coward to scream and beg for mercy, I WANTED TO KILL HIM! For a second, I saw Rokuro managed to get through that Gate before I caught him, and I ran even faster in fury. I followed him back into our world, I felt the heavy rain pour onto me, I heard the roar of thunder echoing in my ears, but that monster was nowhere to be seen.

"YOU COWAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDDDD! COME BACK HERE AND FACE ME!" I kept turning and turning, in search of that killer. In that moment, I felt his presence behind me. Before I had the chance to turn around, I felt a sudden rush of pain on my nape. Before I blacked out, I heard his voice.

"…I'm sorry, Benio Adashino. I…" What he said echoed in my head as I passed out, I couldn't make out what he said in the end. He was right there, and I could barely lay a finger on him. He's worst then that Basara, and yet… I am still breathing. 'Rokuro… you…!'

Rokuro's POV

"…I'm sorry, Benio Adashino. I… wished I was the one who told you the truth." I stated as I watched her fall. I grabbed her body before she made contact with wet floor. I looked at her face, despite the rain, I knew she was crying. '…I won't ask for your forgiveness, because I still can't forgive myself.'

"…you're still here, twerp?" I didn't want to hear his voice at the moment, he didn't let me tell Benio the truth in a better way.

'…at that moment, when Sensei opened the Gate back to our world. He could have used his Juusougenpu to stop me, or at least try to slow me down, but he didn't. He allowed me to escape from the Impurities and Benio. If he was really trying to put me in prison, he would have done so a long time ago.' I reflected, I faced my former master. 'Seigen sensei… despite how he's an unreasonable asshole, he isn't a type of person who do something like this, at least not without purpose.'

'Because we adults are so worthless, the brat's generation is forced to fight. Reality is, brats should only think about playing with their friends, like brats.'

'You shouldn't run off like that, if you hadn't, I would have done this sooner.'

'Just do what you want, you can hate yourself for all I care, or you can just continue to be the brat that you are.'

'It's because this exists, that foolish kids blurt out things like saying they'll practice exorcism again.'

"…hey, Runt! What are you doing standing in rain while staring at your wife? You didn't snap her neck and killed her, did you?" questioned Seigen, I held Benio slightly tighter, a joke about me killing someone, is far from a being funny!

"…your sense of humour is beyond ear-splitting." I hissed.

"…the fact that you stayed instead of running like a normal brat… must mean you have something to say to me, right?"

"…considering I was going to tell her the truth at one point, I can't really say that I'm mad." I turned and faced the unreasonable asshole. "…But I have to ask, why did you?"

"…does it matter?"

"…It's hard to say it doesn't, when you yourself disobeyed the Higher Ups."

"…just avert your eyes from anything unclean." Instructed Seigen, walking away.

'Seigen Sensei… you're… protecting me, right? Just like you always have.' I thought as I stared at Seigen's back.

"…before you leave, can you do something for me?" I asked.

"…I'm not your friend, why would I do anything for you?" he continued to ignore me and walk away. I sighed and turned away.

"…unless you want me to return to that noisy world the second you leave town-." Seigen suddenly faced me with an Amawaka Death Glare. He was obviously not pleased that I threatened him, or rather my own life. "…tell Nee-san, and everyone… that I'm saying goodbye, and that I'm sorry." I replied, as I walked away, carrying the girl in my arms. "…also, that Rokuro Enmadou will never die."

"…brats these days." I heard the puddles of Seigen walking away. As the rain got heavier, I covered the girl with my hoodie to protect her from the rain. It was still torn from Seigen's claws, but it was better then nothing.

'…She's going out cold for about an hour, maybe less due to whatever harsh training she had.' I thought as I stared at Benio's face. 'In any case, it'll be bad if I leave her here in the rain. I should hurry, but if I move too fast she might wake up. She'll absolutely be deafening the second she sees Yuuto's killer.'

Fifteen minutes later

As I moved in the heavy rain, my body was crying out blood, and I couldn't help but feel guilty for myself and the unconscious girl in my arms. I always knew that she would find out about Hiinatsuki, and that she would see me as a monster, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. Benio Adashino… everytime I look at her now, it's like I'm looking and someone else, and I can't blame her for it.

'You're strong, Rokuro Enmadou! You're so kind despite being quiet! You're brave enough to save others, despite the fact you've lost the right to fight, that's not a coward! I… I want you to know that the Rokuro Enmadou that fights is acceptable, no matter what sins he had caused!'

'I told you already, I believe that the Rokuro Enmadou that fights is acceptable, no matter what sins he commited. Also… I think that your power can become a hope for Exorcists.'

'He doesn't know the 'you' now, you just want to protect your family, right? You just want to protect all you have left right? So why wouldn't he let a boy try to protect those he loves?'

'If he still doesn't believe you then show him that you still have the right to fight and protect everyone, Rokuro Enmadou!'

'…How long have you been lying to me?! Was anything you told me true?! Were they all just lies?!'

'You… YOU JUST HAVE BEEN USING ME HAVING YOU?! FOR YOUR SICK LITTLE GAME! I… I…! I WILL KILL YOU LIKE YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!'

'How dare you! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU CALLED YOURSELF AN EXORCIST! HOW DARE YOU PLAYED WITH MY HEART! HOW DARE YOU CALLED YOURSELF MY FRIEND! HOW DARE YOU BURNED MY BROTHER! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, YOU MONSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!'

She only knows half of the truth, but it doesn't change the fact that she will try to kill me and avenge her brother, and everyone at Hiinatsuki. It'll be hard to explain things now, without proof at least. I managed to reach home, without her waking up. I managed to survive, but it's hard to say that it was a good thing. A part of me wondered whether it was a better if she killed me back in Magano.

'Was I doing the right thing back then? When I provoked her into killing me?' I thought in my mind in confusion. 'In any case, Benio Adashino knows the truth, but I don't have any proof of my innocence. Until I do… I won't have the right to have a roof over my head.'

I patched myself up to recover from my wounds my former master gave me. After that I threw some clothes in the trash and wore new ones. Eventually I placed Benio Adashino on her bed, hopefully she one day, she won't have to kill me. I ate dinner one last time before I left. My bag was packed, I still had fuck-face's wallet, I have enough supplies for me to last for over a week. Before I walked out the door, I turned to look at the house one last time.

'…This might be the last time I get to have a home. Well, vacuuming a 10000 meter square house is really noisy.' I thought in my mind. '…sayonara, Benio. Sayonara, everyone.'

Thirty minutes later

It was still raining heavily, but this time I wore a raincoat and overpants. Although I planned to survive outdoors for weeks, it doesn't change the fact that I'm alone. '…At the moment, Benio would be bound to search in everyone else's homes for her brother's killer, I can't hide in Seika or Nee-san's house. I have to live on the streets eating whatever insects I could-.' I felt my heart stop, there was a sudden rush of pain across my torso. I grabbed my chest in agony and fell on my knees, and landed my shoulder.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU'VE BEEN CHEATING ON ME!" yelled a woman's voice, echoing in my head.

'W-who?!' I couldn't recognise her voice. It wasn't long before I heard more voices in my head, they were all filled with so much hate and sadness.

"I WISH I'VE NEVER BEEN BORN!"

"NO ONE LOVES ME!"

"I GOT FIRED AGAIN! MY LIFE'S POINTLESS!"

"WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN?!"

'This is-?! Tokyo's negatives thoughts?!"

It was like the voices of ten million people were in my head. It was too much, I felt my brain about to explode. I held my head in agony, I covered my ears to block out the sound, but it was all in my head, I can't stop hearing people's voices.

'It's no good! It's too much! Any noisier and I'll… I won't be myself anymore!' I shut my eyes extremely tight, trying desperately to block it out. I felt my heart stop when I heard her.

'Why? Why did he killed them? Why did he kill Nii-sama?! How could be so cruel to kill his own family.'

'This voice-?! Benio?!' I gasped. 'No, this her negative thoughts!'

'Why? Why does everyone around me leave me?'

'I have no friends! I have no family!'

'HE LIED TO ME! HE HAS BEEN LYING TO ME FROM THE BEGINNING! WHY?! WHY HAS HE BEEN TRAINING ME?! HE'S BEEN USING ME FROM THE START! HE KILLED HIS ENTIRE FAMILY! HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM! HE'S NOT AN EXORCIST! HE'S A HUMAN WHO SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BORN! I… I… I WILL MAKE HIM SUFFER LIKE HIS VICTIMS! I WILL AVENGE NII-SAMA!'

'Benio… I…! UGH! GAAAAAH!' I felt as though someone had a soldering iron and stabbed me through the ribcage. I did my best hold it in, but I screamed in agony the whole street could hear me. The pain was too much, I could feel myself fading away. I barely opened one of my eyes, and saw a green glow, emitted from my body. I looked down and saw five green lines burning on my chest. 'This is… my green Kuji-Kiri?! From two years ago?!' I widened my eyes in horror as I saw a sixth, cutting across the other lines. If this continues… when there are nine lines drawn across my body… I will permanently become a Fallen Impurity. 'No! Not Yet! NOT YET! I CAN'T FALL YET!' I screamed mentally, I was terrified. I didn't want to lose all I had left of my humanity. I desperately focused all of my enchanted powers into preventing myself from losing control. 'I WON'T BECOME A MINDLESS MONSTER! I AM HUMAN! I… I…'

'Heh, what difference does it make if you remain human?' mocked my arm. He was the last person I wanted to hear at the moment, and I could hear everyone. 'You won't be able to live with them.'

'This desperate now, huh?' I gripped my chest even tighter, trying to bear with the pain. 'Still mad at the asshole, who destroyed the talisman that removes the seal?'

'Why are you resisting? It would be best if you just give in to me. You and I both know it, Rokuro Enmadou!'

'…you're really …the noisiest Impurity ever.' I stood up while trying to withstand the pain. I rested my palm against the wall as I limped. 'Who would… want to… live as a monster… filled with nothing but… negative emotions?!'

'ARE YOU THAT THICKHEADED?!' laughed my arm. 'HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ALREADY?! YOU'RE A CRIMINAL! A MURDERER! WHAT GOOD WOULD YOU DO IF YOU REMAIN HUMAN?!'

'…well, I won't have to eat humans everyday.' I stated, as I limped in the rain. 'Not to mention, that Basara doesn't seem to enjoy being an Impurity either. It's so boring!'

'And you think you could live being a human?! You heard that flatty girl didn't you?! YOU ARE A HUMAN WHO SHOULD HAVE NEVER EXISTED!'

'…'

'That's not all! Look at yourself! Do you really think that anyone will ever accept you?!' I faced my glowing torso, watching the sixth line half way from forming. 'You're not human, you're an Impurity like me!'

'…I am not noisy like you! Don't compare yourself with me!'

'Are you even listening?! Don't you realize the depth of your fate?!' I felt my body suddenly becoming heavier, I fell on my knees and palm. I held my head and shut my eyes, hearing my head screaming in agony, not the mention Tokyo's population ranting in my head. I opened my eyes, not only did my right eye's colour changed, I was surrounded by darkness. No matter where I look, there was nothing blackness. I thought I was blind, but I could see my own body.

'…This is… a void?' a blurry image began to fade in front of me, as the image became clearer, I began to see myself. 'That's… me?'

The figure in front of me opened his dark cold impure eyes, I watched as he coughed out blood and saw a spear piercing through his spine and out of his chest. I widened my eyes as in horror as I saw his attacker, his eyes was filled in betrayal, he lifted the body in the air with nothing but rage and sorrow. I watched myself struggle, holding the tip of the spear in agony, by his own brother.

'How could you?! HOW COULD YOU KILL OUR FAMILY?!' His tears flowed out of his eyes. 'YOU ARE NO LONGER ROKURO ENMADOU! YOU'RE JUST SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE HIM, YOU MONSTER!'

'…this is… my future?' I frowned as I watched what appeared to be my fate. I watched myself snapping the spear in two and attack Ryougo. His arm didn't look like an Impurity, but his strength was undeniable. He viewed myself striking Ryougo's chest with a palm, launching him into the darkness. It was then that Atsushi and Shinnosuke charged at 'me', with rage and fear.

'No… this is your fate, if you continue to fight as a human!' stated my laughing arm. The figure of me grabbed Atsushi's weapon and kicked him so far he vanished. Shinnosuke tried to block 'my' attack, but 'I' slashed through his spear, and red water poured out of his torso. The other Rokuro used the spear and lifted up Shinnosuke's legs, causing him to slam on his back. He didn't stop there, he used the other end of the spear to crush Shinnosuke's gut, knocking him out. After that he threw the spear at Ryougo's shoulder, who tried to charge at him. My other self wasn't killing them, but his methods for self-defence was beyond agonising. 'What was it you said, at least you won't kill humans everyday? Do you honestly believe there wouldn't be a day where Exorcists won't hunt down Impurities like us? When they attack you, what will you do? They won't even try to listen to an impurity. I don't really care if you kill them or not, but as it's their duty to exorcise people like us, they won't hesitate to exorcise us. In other words… they won't stop until you make them stop.'

'…' It wasn't long before my other self was surrounded by other Exorcists. Each armed Exorcist charged to attack 'me', and I resisted, pushing them away, grabbing their weapons. 'I' didn't kill them, but I severed their bloody limbs from their fragile bodies, ending their 'life' as an Exorcist. It was torture watching myself defend himself.

'Will you be able to live your ideals of not killing another human? Even if your entire world is out to get you?' questioned my arm. I observed the defeated Exorcists, grabbing their knives from their pockets and piercing their own hearts. 'Even if you do stop them, they rather kill themselves as an Exorcist filled with pride then die as a powerless worthless human. Can you really tell me that killing them is not better? At least they get their pain over with. Besides, whether you like it or not, someday, you will have no choice but to kill someone.'

'…' I turned my eyes away as 'I' accidently killed someone while defending myself.

'Humans will never be friends with something they fear, they rather kill them then ask questions later. You will be no different, Rokuro Enmadou.' Stated my arm, smiling as I watched everyone I knew and cared about held a weapon against me, in both anger and terror. 'Your friends will betray you… no, you will betray them, just by being yourself. Your sister won't even try to protect a monster, especially when you failed her. Everyone in Seika will have orders to exorcise you, whether they want to or not. Your flat-chested friend won't even waver the second she finds her brother's killer. Not to mention… the Twelve Heavenly Commanders won't mind sacrificing you for humanity's sake, even if you're a Sousei, because an Impurity… can never birth hope to the human world. Also… for thousands of years, they have sacrificed countless comrades for humanity's future, you will be no different.'

'…' I watched myself get caught in chains, and being lifted in the air like a sacrifice. Below my other self, was an army of Exorcists, and everyone I knew. Nothing in their eyes showed a hint of sympathy, they treated me like any other monster they killed.

'Survived one day, only to repeat the cycle on the next day and the next, and so on, for until their end of their life.' Stated my arm, I felt my heart torn to pieces as they threw daggers on my chained self. 'Why bother with burdening yourself with this pain? Why bother trying to fight on a meaningless path? You have nothing, no one to protect anymore! You really think that they'll even consider, a monster like us, to be an Exorcist again?!'

'…' I watched myself screamed, my eyes glowed and my body changing. My chained-self had ten green lines crossed his body, his skin turned bloody red, his hair turned blond, and his body itself grew larger. I observed myself transforming, into something inhuman, I grew a tail, my nails sharpened into razor claws, my fangs grew larger, it was like I was transmuting into a werewolf beneath the red moon.

'Rokuro Enmadou, you should turn into a completely Fallen Impurity, you won't feel any pain anymore. We will get stronger, and kill those who had wronged us! We'll be the strongest Impurity, and we'll surpass our king! And then… we will be the ones who will rule the two worlds!'

'Us… ruling the two worlds?' the sixth line on my body was burned onto my torso, the seventh was beginning to form. I saw my werewolf-self standing on top of a world covered in a sea of flames.

'Yeah… you should give yourself to me. Rokuro Enmadou, don't worry… you won't be feeling these emotions anymore.'

'…you mean you'll erase me and you yourself will rule the two worlds, right?' I turned towards my arm with a serious frown on my face.

'Wha-?!' the arm was shocked that I was still able to make such a face, even after witnessing such despair.

'Orokana Ude, you're so noisy I know everything.' I stated, the seventh line vanished from my body, but the first six remained. 'I'm not that stupid, I am already aware of what would happen if I continue on this path. I'm actually surprised that I have to tell you this, you are me after all.'

'Heh, Rokuro Enmadou… You're the most troublesome human Impurities have to listen to! Tell me, Rokuro Enmadou… what do you fight for?! WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU SO STUBBORN THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE ON A PATH WITH NO END?! WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU SO DETERMINED THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO FIGHT BOTH WORLDS?! What is it… WHAT IS IT THAT KEEPS YOU GOING?!'

'…you're noisy.' I smiled, causing the arm to be more infuriated. '…you should already know the answer, after all… I am you… and you are me… we're… one corrupted survivor!'

'Rokuro Enmadou… you…!' it was then that I was shifted back into reality. It was still raining, and it was still night time. Although that event was over, it doesn't change the fact that I was running out of time.

'…three lines left.' I thought as I gripped my heart. 'Damn you, Sensei! Why did you think that tossing away the key meant that there was no escape for the caged animal?! The lock could still be forced opened you asshole!' I stood silent for a moment, reflecting on my current situation. 'In any case… I don't have much time left. I have to do something… or else it would really be the end.'

As I walked, I felt a lot of Enchanted Powers surrounding me. It was then I realized it was each of Humanities Enchanted Powers.

'This is…? I see, when the sixth line was drawn on my body, I grew closer into becoming an Impurity.' I frowned, feeling emotional pain that my humanity was reduced. 'So I could sense everyone's Enchanted Powers now? Man… my life is so noisy I could die.'

The next day

Mayura's POV

Today I couldn't help but worry, the last thing Rokuro said to me felt as though he was dying. Rokuro didn't come to school today, also everytime I mention his name in front of Benio, she makes a face that terrified everyone. It was as though we were looking at a completely different person. It was then I knew, something did happen to Rokuro, and it affected Benio so much that she couldn't stand to even hear his name. When school ended, I decided to go to Seika, to check if anyone has heard from my little brother.

'I can't get a hold of him. Even if he only responds to text, he should have been able to reply within fifteen minutes, unless he doesn't have reception.' I thought, looking at the twenty texts I sent him. 'Benio seemed really mad at Rokuro… no, she's beyond angry at him. It can't be! Could it be that she found out the truth?!'

It was then I accidentally bumped into someone, with dark circles under his eyes. I was a little shocked at first, but then I relaxed as it was someone I knew.

"…Mayura?!" as always, he has a depressed monotone.

"O-Otou-san?!"

Twenty minutes later

We ate at restaurant called Jona's kitchen.

"Geez! You should have contacted me if you were back!" I stated while eating grilled saury, it tasted so good I almost forgotten why we were here.

"…I just stopped by for a mission. I'm leaving as soon as it's over." Replied Dad, finishing his coffee. "…How's Yukari?"

"Okaa-san? She's doing well." I answered, I was glad that he still cared for us. "She's out traveling with a friend right now. She had some business Hawaii. Oh, and her friend's a girl, in case you're wondering."

"…I see." Sighed Dad.

"So Otou-san, what are you-?"

"How long do you plan on calling me that?" interrupted Dad, I was slightly confused at his response. "I'm not your old man anymore. You should hurry up and forget about a person that leaves the house at his own convenience and does whatever he wants."

"…what are you talking about?" I smirked. "We both know you're happy being called that, Otou-san."

"AHH?!" Dad glared at me, but I barely flinched.

"That glare of yours doesn't scare me, even if you raised your voice like that." I smiled, finishing my grilled saury. "Me… and Okaa-san, too! The fact that you're fighting with your life on the line, and that you left the house so we wouldn't get involved, we know that much at least!"

"…" I couldn't tell what dad was thinking, but we stay silent for that few seconds. It wasn't long before I dropped my smile and made a serious face.

'…Nee-san, have you heard from Seigen?'

'…I felt his enchanted powers last night, when I fought with Benio. I might have imagined it though.'

"…more importantly, what did you do with my little brother?" I glared at my own father.

"…What do you mean?" he may have the same expression on his face, but I knew something was up.

"…Rokuro always had a perfect attendance in school, even when he's sick he still comes to Narukami High. Also… everytime I mentioned his name in front of Benio-san, she makes this scary face that makes her a completely different person." I explained. "…Rokuro stated that you had been watching him since last night. I find it difficult to believe that it was a coincidence that he disappeared when you showed up. Not to mention, you have a tendency of avoiding eye contact and making your voice go slightly higher everytime you try to hide something."

"…" I noticed he narrowed his eyes by a millimetre.

"…guess I should be asking, what did you tell Benio-san?"

"…" His silence confirms my suspicion.

"…is she aware that Rokuro didn't have much of a choice, especially when Yuuto is not the brother she believes he is?" I questioned as I glared deeper into his eyes. The more he was silent, the more I knew. "…I can't say that I know everything that happened, but I can say this. Benio-san is definitely knows some parts of the truth, and that caused Rokuro to go into hiding."

"…" Dad noticed me gripping my hands together tightly, shaken slightly.

"…Otou-san, at least tell me this… is Rokuro…?" I felt extremely concerned for my little brother, if something happened to him, then I…!

"…before that runt left, he requested that I tell you this: That he is saying goodbye, and he's sorry." Answered Dad, I felt my heart stop as heard his last message. I almost felt the tears pouring from my eyes.

"No way… it can't be…" I choked as I faced the table.

"…and he also said this: That Rokuro Enmadou will never die." Continued dad, I widen my eyes and stopped crying.

"He said that? So he's alive now, right?" I felt relieved that he was continuing to keep his promise. 'Rokuro… you remembered. Man, you shouldn't scare me like that! But… where are you right now?'

"…that twerp survived three days straight in Magano when he was ten, he can survive the streets for months."

"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LOCKED HIM UP IN A CAVE WITH AN IRON DOOR FOR A WEEK!" I yelled, slamming the table with my palms as I stood, reminding him of his Spartan training. I was relieved that Rokuro was still alive, but there were something I had to get off my chest. "HE HAD TO SURVIVE WITH NO SUNLIGHT! YOU FORCED HIM EAT WHATEVER INSECTS HE COULD FIND IN THAT DARK ROOM WITH YUUTO! THEY HAD TO SMELL EACH OTHER'S SHIT IN THAT CRAMPED CHAMBER! NOT TO MENTION BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO CATCH THEIR OWN PISS WITH THEIR BARE HANDS IN THE DARK, THEY HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO WATER EACH OTHER'S MOUTHS!"

"…I said they had to stay there for three days, but they chose to compete with each other to see who could leave first. Winner gets a butler."

"YOU'RE STILL RESPONSIBLE! EVERYONE HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THEY PASSED OUT BEFORE WE DRAGGED THEM OUT OF THAT DUNGEON!" It was then that Dad left the table, paying the bills.

"…well, it's basically your choice to search for your idiot twerp, but…" dad faced me with a glare one last time. "…He's fundamentally different from us."

"…wha …what are you talking about…?" The way he said it, felt as though he was really concerned, for both me and Rokuro.

"This isn't advice from your old man, this is a warning as an Exorcist." Stated dad.

"Wai-!"

"I warned you." Dad left the restaurant when he shut the door. I didn't bother to try and follow him. I was more concerned that of Rokuro's current location now.

'Rokuro Enmadou… where would you hide if someone was after you? No, where would you be if Benio Adashino is after you?' I questioned in my head. 'You might not have even plan to run away from home. You might be confused of what you… THAT'S IT!' I stood up and ran towards the place I suspect Rokuro would be. 'Rokuro, if I'm right, wait for me! I have a responsibility as your older sister, to protect you!'

No one's POV

It was time stood still for Rokuro, he just stared at the flowers in front of him. Now that his Seisougenpu was shredded, his cursed powers were rampaging to break loose. It could take weeks, even days before his mind is completely erased from reality. Rokuro knew he had to find a way to tame the beast inside of his right arm. Not to mention, there was a certain Exorcist who was after his head. He could be exaggerating, but it felt as though the two worlds were out to get him.

'…I wonder if sensei told them, that Rokuro Enmadou will never die.' Pondered Rokuro, it wasn't long before he sensed a familiar enchanted power, closing in on him. '…In any case, my goals and ideals hasn't changed one bit.' Rokuro felt a sword pointed at his back, but he barely flinched at the vengeful girl.

"Stay right there, you monster!" hissed a familiar voice.

"…you're noisy, Benio Adashino." I sighed, I didn't bother to turn around, I just stared at the engraved stone. "…we're at a graveyard, it's rude to wake up the dead."

Benio shifted her eyes towards the stone Rokuro was staring at. She widen her eyes as she saw the flowers placed in front of the grave of the Children of Hiinatsuki.

'He's been praying for them?!' thought Benio, she quickly shook that thought away as she forced herself to remember what Rokuro had done. 'No! That can't be true! Those flowers must have been left by someone else! There's no way someone like him would pray for them! He's… HE KILLED NII-SAMA!'

After a short moment of silence, Rokuro turned around. He noticed Benio gripping onto a piece of paper in her left hand. It wasn't a talisman, but something he left behind.

'…so you read the map I left for you, only this time you didn't soaked it like when we first met.' Thought Rokuro.

'Come here, 4:30 sharp. Don't tell anyone, I will know. Come alone.'

"…why are you hesitating?" asked Rokuro, Benio flinched she knew he was aware of her hesitation. Rokuro turned his entire body and faced her. "…aren't you going to kill me?"

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" yelled Benio, her face with filled with hate and betrayal. Rokuro noticed her hand was shaking, along with her sword.

"…if you're going to be noisy, get it over with."

"I SAID SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Benio yelled even louder. 'He's right there in front of me! And yet… Why?! WHY CAN'T I KILL HIM?!'

'…it's hard to say that I'm glad she's hesitating, after all… I know what it's like to want revenge.' Thought Rokuro, watching her hesitate. '…even if it was for one night only, all that rage won't go away that easily, it would be inhuman. Even after you kill the man responsible, you won't feel any better, not like this at least.'

"…Benio Adashino, I perfectly understand why you want to kill me, so I won't even ask for your forgiveness." Stated Rokuro, Benio didn't want to hear any of it, but she listened. "…so I will only ask for one thing."

"…what?" glared Benio.

"…if you do manage to kill me, tell everyone that I was killed by an Impurity. It'll be really noisy at Seika if they hate you." Stated Rokuro honestly. Benio widen her eyes from the murder's request, she then shut her eyes really tight in rage.

"…What's with you?!" Rokuro could see tears forming in her eyes as her sword was shaking. "You have always been nice! You had always been saving me! From that giant Impurity! From that Basara! From the True Serpent! You even helped me to become a stronger exorcist!"

As Benio recalled her memories with that rude, yet kind boy, Rokuro felt his chest tighten as water was pouring out of the girl's eyes. He couldn't say anything that could stop her from crying. The second he saw her opened her raging eyes at her brother's killer, he felt stabbed in the heart.

"Why are you so kind?! Why with me?! How can you be so kind?! If you could be that kind, then why… WHY DID YOU KILL NII-SAMA?!" the girl screamed from the top of her lungs demanding an answer. Rokuro faced the ground, unable to answer, he didn't to see the tears that were rapidly flowing "WHY DID YOU SLAUGHTER YOUR OWN FAMILY?! WHY DID YOU BURN YOUR OWN HOME?! WHY DID YOU KEEP THOSE PHOTOS OF YOUR FAMILY IF YOU KILLED THEM?! WHY HAVE YOU BEEN HELPING ME GET STRONGER?! I DON'T GET YOU AT ALL! WHAT IS DOES FAMILY MEAN TO YOU?! WHAT AM I TO YOU?!"

"…if you think I feel regret about slaughtering my noisy family, I don't." stated Rokuro, the girl widen her eyes in rage and shock. The murderer reflected on his life as he talked. "…everything I done up to this point, killing my family, killing your deafening brother, burning my past away, I don't regret any of it, not one bit. To me, family… is just a group of loud people you see everyday, they're not necessarily bonded by blood, like my friends at Hiinatsuki. In any case, they're irreplaceable, but… people change, they just look the same, and yet they're not the same person. That's why… I don't have regret slaughtering them, because they're not my family. Also… to me you are… a noisiest girl alive… and a reminder of my noisy old self. It was then I thought that you could it, become the Strongest Exorcist, accomplish something I couldn't. When you told me you're Yuuto's sister, I was shocked. It was then I knew, that this would happen. To be honest… I think I ever were to be killed, it should be by your sword."

"Rokuro Enmadou… YOU…!" Benio's emotions took over her, she just couldn't stand the boy in front of her. He was just standing there, looking disinterested, the boy she's seeing wasn't her friend, all she saw was another Impurity. "As I thought, you are not a human being, YOU ARE A MONSTER! YOU ARE A MONSTER THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

'Benio Adashino… I don't regret it at all, saving your life, training you, going to school with you, I don't regret any of that.' Thought Rokuro, reflecting on his entire life. He shut his eyes, and he heard Benio's charmed blade being drawn back. He could tell she wasn't going to hold back. 'I really meant it, I've done nothing that I've regretted, but… if I do have regrets, it would be the things I didn't do. I didn't learn about your brother more, I didn't stop your brother in time, before all of my family and friends had Fallen, I didn't tell Ami how I felt about her, I didn't keep my promise to my best friend, I didn't tell Nee-san that I actually knew what she meant when she said she loved me, I didn't take Tooru's enchanted powers before he did, I might have failed to kill your brother, and… the one thing I regret the most is…'

The girl widen her eyes in shock, she swung her charmed blade with full speed and strength, Rokuro never even opened his eyes, and yet Benio's sharp sword… wasn't able to cut through his palm.

"WHA-?!" Rokuro stated that she should be the one to kill him, and yet he still defended himself. 'HE CAUGHT THE BLADE?! HE DIDN'T EVEN BLEED!'

"…my head and heart are so noisy …they're telling me I can't die yet." Rokuro opened his violent crimson eyes. Cracks on the sword echoed Benio's ears, Rokuro suddenly gripped the blade even tighter, it shattered so much the girl went into shock. In a blink of an eye, Rokuro's left palm was shot into Benio's gut. Benio was launched fifteen meters away, she couldn't breathe from the pain, if Rokuro didn't hold back, her insides would have been forced out of her body, and a hole could have been dug on Benio's fragile body. 'So many things I haven't done, and yet… out of all of them… the one thing I regret most is… IS THAT I DIDN'T PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING!'

Benio almost coughed out blood, she almost couldn't stand. 'What is this strength?! He hasn't used any Talismans or enchantments! How is able to draw this much power?!'

'I could have prevented all of this!' thought Rokuro in rage and frustration. 'I could have prevented you from feeling betrayed! I could have prevented you from being alone! I could have prevented you… FROM WANTING TO KILL A HUMAN!' he watched Benio forced herself to stand up, and enchanted another charmed blade. 'If I tried harder to find evidence that the Impurity Corruption Exists… If only I told you the truth before Sensei did… If only I told you everything the rational way… you… YOU… YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TURNED INTO THIS!'

"You bastard!" hissed Benio, the wrath on her face made her almost unrecognisable. "You manipulated me again! YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD LET ME KILL YOU!"

"…All I said to you… was that I understand why… and that you should be the one to kill me, but… I don't have the leisure of dying yet!" explained Rokuro, making a battle stance. "…I can't let you kill me yet, not when there are things I still have to do!"

"YOU…!" Benio screamed as she charged at her brother's killer at full speed.

'Right now, there's a cloaked figure, who's making people suffer like I did! How can I let you kill me right now if someone's creating such noisy chaos?!' thought Rokuro, evoking the Hiinatsuki incident. He stood there, preparing for a counter attack against Benio's speed. 'No matter who's is hiding behind that cloak… if he's creating Fallen Impurities to become stronger… I will be the one who will kill him! Even if I'm not an Exorcist! Even if you're in my way! Even if the whole world is against me! I will continue to survive! And I won't lose anyone!'

Time seem to slow down for the two of them, as each second passed, the enchanted sword was closing in on the boy's cursed fist. One fights for revenge, one fights to survive, both of them were connected by fate. They didn't hesitate to draw powers against each other, but…

"YAMETEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Rokuro and Benio widen their eyes as they heard her scream. She spread her arms wide, shielding Tokuro from Benio's attack. She shut her eyes tight, hoping that Benio would stop in time.

'Mayura-san?!' The female Exorcist almost tripped and fell from the suddenly shriek, and her blade almost pierced through her friend's skull.

'Nee-san?! What are you doing here? Why didn't I sense your Enchanted Powers?' thought Rokuro, trying to process the sudden information. 'That's right, she has that charm that cloaks her powers!'

"Why are you two fighting?! Aren't you two friends?!" question Mayura, mixed with anger and concern. All though she had theories, she didn't want to believe it was about the truth of the Tragedy. It was then Benio snapped back into reality.

"Get out of my way, Mayura-san!" demanded Benio, threatening her friend with her sword. Mayura was shaken to see Benio filled with so much hate. "He… HE KILLED NII-SAMA! HE'S THE REASON WHY EVERYONE AT HIINATSUKI WERE KILLED!"

"…so it's true, you did find out." Mayura faced the ground, Benio widen her eyes in shock.

'She knew?! She knew about Rokuro?!' Benio's rage was taking over her more. 'Mayura Otomi… have you been lying to me too?!'

"But Benio-san! It's not what you think!" Mayura faced Benio, trying to convince her that she doesn't know everything. "Rokuro isn't the type of person who would do it without reason!"

"Nee-san!"

"SHUT UP! YOU DON'T GET TO TALK!" yelled Mayura, scolding her little brother. He was shocked into silence, listening to her. "What were you thinking?! Even if you weren't planning on dying… HOW DO EXPECT ME TO FEEL IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO YOU?!"

"…" Rokuro couldn't face his sister, he couldn't say anything back to her. He gritted his teeth in guilt, he knew he was being selfish, but he couldn't bring himself to get anyone else involved.

"Benio-san, tell me honestly! Do you believe think that Rokuro would even want to kill his own family?! The only people who he ever loved?! The only people who returned that love?!" questioned Mayura in desperation, she couldn't stand seeing her two friends fighting each other. Benio couldn't help but recall the times when he fought as an Exorcist, she couldn't help but feel doubt. "You were there weren't you?! When Rokuro desperately tried to save Ryougo-san, did he really look as though he doesn't care about his family?!"

'If you die, you won't be the strongest, if you die you won't shop again, if you perish you won't run again, if you're deceased you won't eat Ohagi again.'

'I'll only say this once, Arima Tsuchimikado. I only made it this far because of my classmates. I don't care if you're the current Head of all Exorcists, if you look down at my friends, I will not hold back, I will even kill you if I makes you repent, understand?'

'If you have the strength to talk, use it to stand up. If you can stand then walk, because we're going home, and we'll have Kibi Dango again… Ani-chan.'

'ARE YOU THAT STUPID?! WHAT WOULD YOU ACCOMPLISH IF YOU DIE?! YOU TALK LIKE THERE'S MEANING IF YOU DIE! TELL ME THIS, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU WERE KILLED?! WHAT WOULD EVERYONE IN SEIKA, IN KYOTO, IN SCHOOL DO IF THEY FOUND YOUR ROTTING CORSPE?! IF YOU'RE SO SMART THEN TELL ME, WHAT GOOD WILL COME OF THAT?!'

'I'm not a nice person. I just don't want any regrets. That's all.'

'I'm not sure whether I want to be an Exorcist or not. But… I don't want to hear it, the noise of someone dying.'

'At the moment… I don't have the right to fight for the future, or the world, but… that's not an excuse to let someone in front of me die.'

"Benio-san! After everything you've been through with my little brother… DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE ROKURO SOME MURDERER?!"

"I DON'T KNOW!" yelled Benio, holding her head tight. Mayura and Rokuro sadden, as they watched her distress. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE! WHAT IS FAKE OR REAL?! WHO'S LYING AND WHO'S TELLING THE TRUTH?! WHO SHOULD I BE FIGHTING?! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?! I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ANYMORE!"

"Benio-san…" Mayura felt really bad for her friend, she's filled up her life with so much hate, she's now confused of what she should do. Rokuro felt the same, but his mind was preoccupied on something else, something that makes his spine shiver in terror.

'What… is this feeling? What's with this Enchanted Power I'm sensing?' thought Rokuro, scanning the area. 'A Basara? No… this is… an Impurity… mixed with human. It's… it can't be! IT's-!'

"Benio-san, this is going to be hard to hear, but listen to me." Instructed Mayura, Benio turned and faced her friend. Rokuro turned towards his sister, widening his eyes. "The reason why Rokuro killed everyone at Hiinatsuki is because-."

Mayura felt her heart stop, her lungs were paralysed, she couldn't breathe, nor could she talk. She grasp her chest, her legs were losing their strength, and her body became heavy. Rokuro and Benio watched in horror as gravity pulled her fragile body to the ground.

"Nee-san!" Rokuro caught her before she slammed hard on the stone floor.

"M-Mayura-san?!" Benio quickly knelt next to Mayura, Rokuro and Benio widen her eyes as her torso began to glow. Rokuro was shocked from the glowing green vertical line, burning onto her body. "What is this? What's going on? Rokuro! What's happening to her?!"

"No…! NEE-SAN! GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF! YOU… YOU CAN'T-!" Rokuro couldn't hear Benio's voice at all, he rested his sister's head on his right arm, and he held her hand tightly with his left hand. He watched her scream as the second line was burned onto her, but her voice was gone. As each line was being drawn, his world shattered even more. As he watched the third line being formed, he recalled the family who shared the same fate. 'Why?! Why is this happening?! WHY YOU AS WELL?!'

'Why? You guys… No… NO! Don't kill me too! I don't want to die! Rokuro please! Don't do it! We're friends, right? We're family, right?! S… STAY AWAY FROM ME!'

'Ruri!'

'That's not it. I… I just… I just wanted to be strong like you, Rokuro.'

'Tetsuji!'

'If I have to continue living my living as an unsightly Impurity, I'd rather be Exorcised by you, Rokuro Enmadou.'

'Ami!'

'No… why? Why Keito as well? She's… just a baby.'

'Keito!'

'Mayura Otomi… has always been… into you. That's why… take care of her for me. And… tell her… I love her… and that… I'm sorry I was such a jerk.'

'Takumi!'

'Regardless of our appearances, we'll always be friends, right…?'

'Why? Why?! WHY?!' it was then Rokuro felt a palm on his chest, he widen my eyes as he realized it was Mayura's. He was happy for that second, but it all dissipated as he saw her seven lines of her Kuji-Kiri, her eyes had changed, they were black Sclera with golden Irises, a patch of solid black skin began to spread all over her body, as time passed, her body became cold like a corpse. His sister gripped tightly onto Rokuro, he watched her lips move, he widen his eyes in shock as he knew her words. 'Nee-san… YOU!'

"ROKURO! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HER?!" Benio was panicking as he couldn't answer her, and that Mayura was suffering from an unknown sickness. 'A Green Kuji-Kiri?! Why is that a Kuji-Kiri on her body?! What's happening to her?!'

"BENIO! GET AWAY FROM HER!" Rokuro tackled the girl, forcing her away from their sick friend. It that instance, a black tornado of Enchanted Powers surrounded Mayura, as it lifted her in the air her body began to change. The Sousei blocked the wild winds with their arms, they were able to observe the terrifying transformation. Black horns pierced from her skull, her hands grew into razor sharp claws, and her hair darkened. Rokuro felt Mayura Otomi's Enchanted Powers getting stronger, wilder, and out of control. As it grew, the more the brother knew, it was too late!

"Hyaha… KYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the Fallen girl's laughter shrieked across the graveyard, the clouds turned darker, and the raging winds roared across the human world.

"Mayura-san… turned into… an Impurity?" Benio was beyond horrified, her best friend turned into the very thing she exorcises, an Impurity, no… A Fallen Impurity.

"Why?!" Rokuro stood in sorrow and anger, Benio turned and saw something she could not describe, he looked like Rokuro, but… he was different. "Why you as well?! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BECOME ONE OF THEM?! NEEEEEEEEEEE-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"

What they were seeing, was no longer the friend, or the sister they once knew. She turns towards them, and her devilish smile grew larger, revealing fangs. "Enchanted Powers… Exorcists…!"

Unknown POV

"The intermission is over… The Tale begins once again." Smiled the cloak figure, watching the Sousei and the Fallen. "Now… let's begin of the continuation of the Tragedy."
