Blue Exorcist - Burning Heart in Blue Flames
By Tayla Drago
Episode 21 # - The Secret Garden
Everything's so confusing right now...From seeing that Igor was back to try to kill Rin being related to Satan, hurting his friends, and Kiyomi to save the four priests in time from the web done by his wife Michelle, why is that? Also, who was Rin and Yukio's strange grandfather calling himself Ernst Frederik Egin, what does he want with his grandson like him? Besides Kiyomi finding her mother Kagome who she thought that she has found her and who escaped from the Shadow King and Satan...So weird, you know what I mean? Kiyomi worries about that all night long for Zuku to keep her company besides her boyfriend Rin.
"(Mommy...Where are you? Have you really escaped from Satan and the Shadow King's grasp or what? Aunty knows on what she and Uncle witness who attacked them with the other men closes to Yukio and Rin. Was it Igor, Michelle, or a brand-new demon that I never heard of...? And where's Yukio? This is so unlike him.)" Zuku checks on Kiyomi for she tries to be happy for her friend, unaware from her little demon partner to feel upset than she was right now. "No, no, Zuku, I'm fine." she said. "Rin told me that we'll save her. I just need to relax and still be myself. I think I'm more worried about Yukio. He's been gone since last night. Weird, huh?"
She wishes to know more, looks like Zuku knows so much that Kiyomi does. Elsewhere as Shiemi heard the news on the class radio show about what happened and her mother was going out; it was raining for Michelle to run away at her house to be aiding her 'with Nii's help as well' for she was unaware of her being the enemy of the masked person for Nii's other demon-like plant friends help her out even a big tree. As Yukio chitchats with Egin during the train ride. He sees a picture of Yuri Egin, his daughter and mother of both Rin and Yukio that Shiro never talked about, who was she...? Also, who was the odd female maid working by Egin's side?
So, because of Mephisto's strange actions 'since he's kind of was behind aiding Igor but not to get others hurt in this mess', Egin wanted to step in to ask his two grandsons including Rin to join him. Along with Kiyomi since he learns so much about her history to be friends with Kazu for quite some time now during the war. Makes sense...Yukio wishes to remember his mother and the same with Rin a little; Egin was in jail during the time of the Satan battles for his daughter didn't die by Satan to force in making her give birth to two of her sons, but the Vatican did it all. They burned her for being a witch because of it. How awful! An escape goat because of all of this. So, that's why they place Egin in jail to have his daughter to become the mother of Satan, still hurting others was wrong because of it to see Shiro changed so much for the better. Egin had a locket type of necklace with a photo in it that kept him going to also have the young Rin and Yukio in it and for him to protect his family this time. But this woman, so odd in aiding him, acting weird, and calling herself Xiamon Kai...But wait! There was more to tell!
Egin wanted Yukio on his side, could do the same for Rin but his powers were awakening to hate putting him in danger. Entering a strange lab inside the train station of the area that Egin works in and wanted Yukio to join him no matter what happens along with Kai as well, but why do they want Kiyomi there instead of Rin? Because of his powers of Satan...? Meanwhile, Kaoru comes out of the room to see that Rin's been training well for his powers to be controlled as Kiyomi witness the confrontation to report back.
"How did it go?" Terufusa Adachi asks Kaoru.
"It was a complete success. All the webs been removed by Rin's flames without hurting anyone." he said to be looking at Kiyomi. "There were no problems to this matter. And I guess you were right all along, Ms. Saki."
"That's right! Told you guys so..." she said smiling with Zuku making a funny grin face like a Cherish Cat does for fun.
Still no sign of Yukio for Rin or Kiyomi 'even Zuku' to find him anywhere.
"Where's Yukio?" he asked.
"We haven't seen him lately. I'm starting to worry."
"Worry about me, little brother?" Rin said. "Look, Kiyomi, I get it. He can be a push over and over protected of me and you all the time...Who always tries hitting on you for being my girlfriend!"
Kiyomi gets back to the subject.
"Ah, Rin...?"
"Oh, right! Sorry..." he said to feeling silly. "Anyways, besides those things, he can take care of himself to be strong on his own. Trust me. It'll be fine."
Rin pulls Kiyomi closes to him to be hugging her.
"I guess so. Anyways, is Yukio here or not?" she asks the priest.
"I don't know. He hasn't come back yet."
"Really? Zuku and I looked everywhere of the entire area and nothing? Oh, boy."
Now for the other questioned that Rin and Kiyomi wish to know about…
"Where did you take Mr. Neuhaus?" Rin asked.
"He's been place in a special cell to being question." he said to them.
"Cool, thanks."
"Thanks again, you two. We'll find him."
Rin kept his arm around Kiyomi for her to hold as they walk off to hear what Igor had to say, but the priest stops them.
"Where do you two think, you're going? I don't mind of Ms. Saki goes for Zuku to stay hidden in the shadows, but you...?"
"I'm going with her. I got as much right as you do too, so do you mind?" answer Rin.
Once Rin said that, he walks off with Kiyomi to go listen in. No use stopping them when they're together. Not only that Mephisto got arrested for some false mess to get in from bad to worse, the Vaticans were really losing it throughout the school lately since the learned about Rin's secret, it hasn't been easy even for Kaoru to hear all of this was happening. No kidding!
Now getting Igor to talk 'if he can' about the mess of his story and his wife should be something, hopefully he'll be able to speak about it in saying that Michelle's no demon but his wife as Shura and Shinichi Satou both listen in. Not a demon, but the spider web does prove it was from Gehenna all right...Soon Kaoru, Rin, and Kiyomi enter in the room for Zuku waits for them further down the hallways.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Kiyomi said for them to be coming in to the room. "So, you're saying this...Her name's Michelle Neuhaus and she's not a demon, with spider web-like powers that can trap you. If so, what is she then?"
"Maybe you're lying?" Rin asked. "You told me that Satan killed your family, remember? So how can a dead person be walking around? And why would she attack my friends!?" Rin pounds the table hard with his hand demanding some answers out of Igor, as well as Kiyomi who wanted to know too.
"Also for you having my blood to try to hurt Rin as a weapon against him and Satan? What gives!?" even for Kiyomi to agree. "Rin's right to be asking you these questions, Igor!"
"Answer me!"
Then Shura figures this one thing out to be saying it.
"She's an anti-soul, huh?"
Soon that has gotten Igor's attention.
"Anti-Soul?" both Rin and Kiyomi said.
Kaoru started to explain to them on what this anti-soul means.
"It's a special skill to revive a dead human." he explains. "Remember? I believe I told you both that in class."
"Oh, yeah...That thing..." Rin didn't get it at all, but Kiyomi did.
"Oh, right! Like a zombie! With powers and such meaning that she looks reborn but was still dead as a slave. Dude! You do your wife as a rotten corpse? Sick!"
"Kind of true, Kiyomi, and yet yes. It is gross." Shura said.
"For most things, it is a forbidden spell."
Shura turns her attentions back to Igor.
"Look, we know you were in Poland who was involved if the researching of artificial life. So, drop the act, okay? You use everything that you could to bring your dead wife back to life; so, stop wasting everyone's time and just admit it."
Soon Igor got mad just thinking about it to say this part next.
"Wasn't me, damn it!" he said to get everyone's attentions. "I admit, I kept my wife's body in a water tubing lab for research on every day, just not like this...I would never return her soul to it. That's a line that I would never cross. If I did, I would turn away from the Gates of Heaven."
Kiyomi looks at Igor's eyes to be telling the truth here.
"Question...You wanted my blood, why?" she asked.
"I never wanted to hurt you, Ms. Saki, I found out about the Shadow Demon's blood which can stop Satan, I wanted to beat him. I just take a few and leave you be. Funny, you do remind me of my wife, and I respect that."
"Also, you wanted to remember your wife so you kept her body safe in your own coffin to care for and not rot, right?"
"That's true." he said. "I wanted my wife to rest in peace for her body in my way to lay to rest, nothing else. All I did was work a lot at the labs, not to bring someone back to life way before Satan ruined my life and my eye."
"Okay, one more question...Did you witness my Mommy, Kagome Saki?"
Silence there for Igor was trembling a little when Kiyomi asked him that question.
"Tell her, damn it!" Rin demanded.
"You did, didn't you?" she said to know what was on his mind.
"It was her...And yet, it wasn't. I felt something was wrong there...I can't explain it...The same as my wife was, just much darker from the other...And yet, it was there with you of your mother's this whole time. Sorry, that's all I know."
Rin almost said something, but looking at Kiyomi after hearing the whole thing to get some answers that she needed.
"It's fine. Thanks for answering me, Igor."
"But, Kiyomi..." said Rin being very confused.
"Its fine, Rin, I'll figured this one out for myself. I need to get something from Igor, it was nothing."
Rin was amazed on how smart his girlfriend was.
"(So, smart, and what a woman...She's so hot!)"
Getting back to the subject here...
"Now we know about that part, your wife is a walking dead corpse." said Shura. "If it wasn't you, then who was it?"
"I don't know, but one night at the lab..."
The past as Igor told them what really happened to Michelle was brought back to life but it wasn't her anymore. He left one night to do something to always see his wife in the tube being cared for with fresh flowers in it; until he came back to find her gone to see her being normal and alive again at the garden room outside. Surprise to him, she was back in the living and looking normal at first. So, Igor couldn't kill her to see that she was a demon to suffer the pain of death again...Instead the Blue Knights appeared to end her life as a demon before someone got hurt. Accuse for bringing the dead back to life to burn down their home, Igor fights back to escape with Michelle who was horrified from the mess that happened. He soon uses the special key to flee in Japan, 'for the crow demon Gufu to come in and way before he went crazy that went on'; it didn't go so well to use the key to hide out, for she fears the fire that killed her for Igor to calm poor Michelle for she was burned to death from the blue flames done by Satan himself. That sucks. Then one night, she flees for Igor to find her in becoming the Demon of Revenge...Damn!
"So, that explains everything. (I almost feel sorry for Igor, almost...)" said Kiyomi to herself.
"I wanted to take her back to the lab without being caught but, here I am..."
That makes sense now.
"Then why didn't you tell us this before?" Rin questioned Igor.
"Even if I did, you bastards couldn't save her." he said. "If you want to learn the truth, she doesn't have much time left though she's possess by a demon, she's still a corpse. In a few days, she'll rot away into nothing..."
Rin understood a little for he leaves the room for Kiyomi to follow him, she knows what he'll do next.
"Wait up, Rin."
"Hold up, Rin! Kiyomi! Where are you two going!?" Shura asks them.
She follows them outside for Zuku spotted Kai just now to be angry at before Rin and Kiyomi came back, that was weird.
"We know what we're doing here, Shura. It's okay right, Zuku?" Kiyomi said to Zuku to agree with her. "(Was she just feeling someone or something out just now...?)"
"You know damn well for Kiyomi and me here." Rin said. "Her and I are going after Mr. Neuhaus' wife."
"It's better to put her out of her misery again since she's rotten badly."
True, but does Shura get it at all?
"Oh, yeah? And then what?" she asked. "What can you, Rin, do about it? Or maybe to Kiyomi too? What can any of you two do?"
Rin had to do something, he is what he is when something like this happens.
"I don't know but...Kiyomi and I can't stand here and do nothing...!"
"I'm sure as hell won't let him go alone. We're a team."
Shura sees that the power of love like theirs was once stronger for Michelle and Igor, they know the pain, anger, to also be feeling it, and seeing right through it.
"When it rains, it pours." she said. "Look, I already got my Familiar trying to go look for her. And take this." Out of her breasts, Shura pulls out a tails-men paper spell for both Rin and Kiyomi to use.
"Talisman spells?" questioned Kiyomi.
"Well, it's useful, Kiyomi, believe me. You need mine to protect and guide you both."
"Thanks a lot, Shura." said Rin.
But she pulls them away from Rin before grabbing them for him and Kiyomi to use.
"That's Ms. Shura...Just get the hell out and keep an eye on Kiyomi." Shura said to Rin the most. "Remember, as soon as you find her, call me. And don't even think about taking her on by yourself."
"Not this time, Zuku will push her aside." Kiyomi said.
Zuku will make sure of that too if it does happen.
"Right! Let's go, Kiyomi!"
"Right behind you, Rin!"
The two take off for Zuku to follow them. Shura questions herself on who wanted to bring Michelle back to life, that is a very big mystery there...Still raining outside, Rin didn't know how to use the paper thing that was given to Shura for those two, but Kiyomi and Zuku already know how. Thinking about calling her, she would probably yell at him, so bad idea there...
"Ah, bad idea..." Rin had seconds thoughts about it.
"Rin...Don't tell me you don't know how to use that, do you?" Kiyomi questions Rin.
"Huh? I do...I think...Really I do!" Rin said. He soon stares at Kiyomi to be all wet. "What happen to you?"
"I trip in the puddle of water and now I'm wet. What's worse, my umbrella got destroyed...I hate these things!" Kiyomi and Zuku kick their broken umbrella in anger, but that's only the worse for her to be wet. "What is it, Zuku?"
Zuku shows Kiyomi in the mirror of her school uniform was a see through of her bra was showing off from her white shirt to be shown too and to cover up in time.
"Wow! Fine looking breasts in a white wet shirt! Take it off!" Zuku smacks Rin on the head. "Hey! Zuku!"
"Rin! This is no time to be a perverted! I'm exposed here!"
Since Rin had an umbrella, he goes over to Kiyomi to lend her his to be under with her and offering a warm towel.
"Sorry! Here, let me do this."
Kiyomi felt better to have it around her body for Zuku ties it up for a while until her shirt dries off and the other towel to use to dry it.
"Thanks, you two." Rin hugs Kiyomi to rub his head on her breasts and kisses her neck.
"Kiyomi, it's okay. I'm the only one who can do this to you." he said. "I won't let any other guy look at you weirdly when I'm around."
"Rin, you're funny and silly. But you do care for me to love you so much. Thank you for always being there for me." He kisses her neck to leave the marking on her again.
"From me to you..."
As they stare at each other for a moment, Rin freaks out to get a phone call to answer it.
"Relax, it's not Shura." said Kiyomi laughing.
Rin laughs too and answers the call.
"Hello? Rin Okumura speaking..."
"Rin?" It was Shiemi on the phone.
"Shiemi? Is that you?"
"Hey, what's up?" Rin asks her.
"Is Kiyomi with you? Hi there!" she said to get back to business after that. "I need both of your help on something. And please hurry."
Sounded serious for them to go over to Shiemi's place.
"Right. On our way." he said to be hanging up his cell phone. "Come on, Kiyomi."
"I wonder what she wants from us?" she asked.
"Must be something important to be calling us."
"Then let's go help out our friend."
So off they go for Rin, Kiyomi, and Zuku to Shiemi's place for unaware it was Michelle they will soon be found. I really hope Kiyomi can get Rin to use the paper tails-men to contact Shura if it does happen...Finally Michelle wakes up for Shiemi, Nii, and a whole lot of the plant demons 'or Greenman' to aid her to recover, sort of. She was being nice to help her out at least, for Rin and Kiyomi arrive to see if Shiemi was around but not inside the house. She was out at her secret garden.
"Hello? Anybody home?" Rin shouts out.
"Are you here, Shiemi?" same with Kiyomi.
But no answer.
"Ah, nope. No one's home." Rin said.
"So where can she be? She told us to help her out with something here." Soon they see Nii for Zuku to say hi to her friend again. "It's Nii." said Kiyomi.
"Hey, what up? Is Shiemi around?"
Nii moved his arms to say 'yes' to them and to follow the little demon.
"Lead the way then."
So, Rin, Kiyomi, and Zuku follow Nii leading them to where Shiemi's at, seems that the other garden was underneath the house that she was living within the shed.
"Hey, Shiemi!?" Kiyomi calls out to her friend. "Huh? Rin, look at this."
"What the...?" he sees the hidden door.
This was big news for them to discover.
"I never seen these steps before."
"Me either..."
Soon the talismans on them glows up to show a snake belonging to Shura, meaning that Michelle was there.
"What's going on?" confused Rin.
"Isn't that Shura's Familiar...?" Kiyomi wonders. "Oh, I get it. It works to find the enemy that Shura was tracking down, meaning that-! Ah, crap!"
"That means she here..."
Shiemi talks to Michelle about her secret garden and how her grandmother was taken care of it to listen to the plants and to love them, and she does it too. Now she's taking over the place for her in memory. It reminds Michelle of the story garden that Shiemi thought of going there one day for Igor to tell her all about a while back 'so she can have some memories in being back from the dead'; wishing to be in a garden like Shiemi wanted to go too and to be friends together...That's when Kiyomi comes down with Zuku as her twin blade weapons.
"Hold it right there, demon!" she said.
Rin comes down too and gets his sword out with his blue flames under control to be scared Michelle from seeing them again.
"Shiemi...!"
"Rin? Kiyomi?" Shiemi was confused.
"Shiemi, move aside!" Kiyomi said to her friend.
"Get away from her right now!"
Michelle grabs hold of a pair of scissors from the emergency kit to use on Shiemi as a hostage.
"Stay back!" she said.
"No..." Kiyomi said in fear.
"Let her go!" Rin demanded.
"So, you are with Satan too, I should have guess."
Rin and Kiyomi have to save Shiemi from Michelle now.
"Shiemi's got nothing to do with this!"
"Let go of our friend!"
"Back off, Shadow Demon, lend me your blood to kill the Son of Satan or stay back...I will have my revenge!" Michelle said while crying. "Everything I had was burned to aches...! Blue flames burned it all away! I won't forgive Satan for that...! He took everything that I loved away from me, and now...I'll take everything away from you...I swear..."
It's true. She did go up into flames when Satan almost possess Igor's body to affecting his eye for Michelle to be burned to death as she tried to save him. Sad...She soon feels weak to fall. Giving Rin the chance to get Shiemi away from her.
"Rin, hurry!"
"Shiemi!" He gets her out of the danger in time.
"Michelle!" she said. "Wait, you two! She's hurt bad! I have to take care of her."
She would of if Michelle wasn't a corpse.
"Shiemi, I'm afraid that's impossible...Sorry, Shiemi." said Kiyomi.
"She's right, afraid you can't do that if you did try. She's already dead."
This comes to a big surprise for Shiemi to hear.
"What?" she said in shock.
"She's a corpse who was brought back to life to get revenge on Satan." Rin explained. "So please get back, Shiemi."
She wouldn't move away even if Rin was saying to her and Kiyomi for Shiemi to understand it all to be true.
"You can't! Michelle's not evil, I know it!"
"But, Shiemi!" Kiyomi said to be worried.
"She tries to kill Suguro, the guys, the others from my home town, try hurting my Kiyomi, and Yukio. None of my friends are safe if she's around."
"I didn't call you two because I was in danger!" said Shiemi. "I called you both because I needed some help!"
"And that's why we're here to help you!"
"Shiemi! We'll protect you from that monster!"
Shiemi stops Rin and Kiyomi from doing anything in time.
"No! I never asked you, Rin, or Kiyomi to do that!"
"Shiemi..." said Rin.
Zuku then pointed out to the two that Michelle wasn't too evil after all.
"Look, if she was evil Nii and the others wouldn't take her in at all. See?"
"We didn't know that..." Kiyomi said. "But still...We...What can we do now?"
"You see?" Shiemi said to them.
And for that, Zuku and Kiyomi lower their weapons to let it be for now to keep an eye on Michelle until Shura and the others arrived.
"Sorry, Shiemi."
"It's fine, Kiyomi. I understand. Just know that we would do something about it if someone was indeed evil."
"By the way...She's Mr. Neuhaus' wife." Rin said to Shiemi.
"What!?" she was very surprised.
Soon Rin tries calling Shura as promised to not get a phone signal from down below.
"Nothing...How about you, Rin?" Kiyomi asked.
"Nope, getting no signal in here either, better go upstairs. I got to make a call, we'll be back in a sec."
"Okay."
Rin and Kiyomi headed back outside to try calling Shura that was better there. Shura answers Rin's cell phone.
"Hello, Rin? What's up?"
"Kiyomi and I found her." Rin said to Shura on the phone.
"You two did? Seriously? Where is she?" she said.
"At the supply shop."
"What the hell is she doing there?"
"(Don't ask...)" Kiyomi said quietly.
"How should I know or Kiyomi? We just got here." he said to Shura.
"I'm bringing Neuhaus over with me, so don't you two do anything until we get there."
Soon Rin pulls Kiyomi over to spot someone as he tells Shura not to do anything yet, sounds and looks like trouble.
"Actually, don't come here. For real, don't." he said on the phone.
"Huh? What's the matter, Rin? Something going on? Hey!"
I see...It was Arthur and the other Blue Knight members arriving at Shiemi's place to know about the matter at hand, not good.
"Arthur!?" Kiyomi said to be shocked in seeing this like Zuku was too.
"What a lovely garden." he said. "It is beautiful, but not a very good place for demons. You, Kiyomi Saki however, is just fine but that thing who follows you..."
Rin got mad.
"Don't hit on my girl!"
"And Zuku's part of me as a friend!" she said. "In case you've forgotten, Rin and I are dating as promise to control his powers."
"I know and that's good, but just in case..." Kiyomi runs up with Zuku be her wings to straighten things out with him, only to be cut off for Zuku to get hurt badly and Kiyomi to be grabbed hold by the neck.
"Hush now, my dear. Calm yourself."
"Rin! I can't break free!" Kiyomi calls out to Rin.
"Stop it! Let Kiyomi go!"
Arthur then jumps up to strike him with his weapon at Rin to be blocking it, but to be pushed by the wind and goes down to the ground right under his feet.
"No, Rin!" Kiyomi panics.
"No worries, I'll restrain him, not to kill him. For now…"
Kiyomi was mad now.
"You hurt Zuku too!"
"I did it out of self-defense, you saw it." he said to her.
"Angel prick!"
Soon the Blue Knights arrived to restrain Shiemi and to capture Michelle back outside.
"We found the suspect, sir!" said one of the members.
"Shiemi! (This is bad...!)" Kiyomi panics.
"Rin! Kiyomi!" she calls out to them.
Arthur ties Kiyomi up with his special ropes to use as he takes care of business.
"Excuse me, my dear..." he said to turn his attentions to Michelle. "So, you were hiding here the whole time, you demon in human skin. There's no greater taboo then bringing the dead back to life. It disgraceful in Assiah's law. I condemn you in the name of Vatican!"
He goes on top of Rin's head to walk on him to go to Michelle.
"Arthur! Stop this!" Kiyomi begs of Arthur.
"Michelle!" same with Shiemi.
Rin couldn't do anything now or Kiyomi to stop him either since Zuku was hurt, soon a sword comes out of nowhere to stop them in time to move away. Shura arrives to free Kiyomi from the ropes and Igor to guard his once loving wife on what remains of her.
"Out of the way!" she said. "Kiyomi, let's go!"
"Wait...Isn't that Igor...?"
Arthur and the others see them arriving in time.
"I will atone for my sins." he said to be begging of Arthur. "Please have mercy on her. Let my wife go, I beg of you...!"
Arthur walks up to Igor.
"Bravo to you and your finest work..." he said to be kicking Igor. "Spare me! The dead will only be reborn from the rapture, when the angels blow their triumphs for the last time!"
He was about to end Michelle for good.
"Stop it!" Igor said.
Kiyomi then jumps into her form with Zuku being part of her to fire something for Arthur to stop, and Rin to block his sword in time and all fired up.
"Defending demons now, Son of Satan?"
"No, I just hate that you guys had to come and being asses in busting this place up!"
He moves away from Rin's oncoming strikes.
"No kidding! I have to go with Rin there!" said Kiyomi.
"Demon, I'm warning you. If you're messing with me, then you're messing with the whole Vatican!"
They had their guns drawn at Rin for Kiyomi to make a shield with Zuku's help.
"You hurt him, then you have to go through Zuku and me first!" she said in anger.
"You tell them, Kiyomi, like I'll give a rat ass what you're saying!" Rin strikes back at Arthur in a sword fight.
For Shiemi, Shura, and Igor watch this from happening and Kiyomi kept her guard up, Michelle sees that Rin was on her side being way different than Satan was for saving her life.
"Is that the best you got, Spawn of Satan!?" Arthur said to send Rin flying.
He gets back up for more.
"You want to go? Then let's go!"
Kiyomi holds Arthur down with her shadow powers in time for Rin comes charging in.
"Got you!" she said.
"What...? No! I was careless!"
He couldn't break free, only for Shura to stop Rin in time by blowing him away with her sword.
"Snake Fang!"
"Shura, really!? Arthur's a jerk who plays unfair!" Kiyomi was right about that.
"Yeah, what the hell...? Shura!" Rin questions her.
"Will you just chill?" she said. "Kiyomi, let him go. He has proven a point."
"Whatever..." So Kiyomi does to be freeing Arthur from controlling his shadow.
"Listen, Rin, you're not helping anyone."
"Just...get out of my way...!" Rin said while getting back up.
"Is this what you really want? Really? Come on, think." Shura asks him.
Rin fires up to go charging in at full force.
"Out of my way!"
But a gunshot goes off out of nowhere for Michelle runs in to shield Rin in time to get shot instead.
"Who fired!?" Kiyomi demanded to know.
"Michelle!" Igor rushes to his wife's side.
"Oh, no...!" Shiemi was sad.
Igor was crying for there was no way to save Michelle now, scaring Kiyomi from seeing this, Rin got mad now.
"Damn it!" he said to go over to the members. "Which one of you shot her!? Huh!? Which one of you cowards did it!?"
Kiyomi holds Rin's hand for Shura to calm him down and Zuku helps from behind.
"Stop it, Rin!" she said.
"I know how you feel, Rin, but this isn't the way! Please listen to Shura!" said Kiyomi.
Michelle then speaks out her dying words for the others to hear and for Rin to stop.
"The Garden of Omaha..." she said. "A paradise where all the plants in the world are gathered...It's not here...But I know it's real..." She gives the special key back to Igor.
"The key to get you anywhere...It was you." said Kiyomi.
"If we can just find it, then I know we can live in peace..."
"We can find it together, just you and me." Igor said to her.
"My darling..."
Igor then sees Michelle not moving or breathing no more to carry her body elsewhere alone, but Arthur wasn't done with them yet.
"Don't just stand there! Arrest those two!"
"That's enough!" Shiemi's screaming had the power to make the plants grow to throw the members off and shielding Igor in time.
"Nice one..." Kiyomi said.
It was a lot of baby Green-men demons aiding her to protect the two and Arthur having trouble cutting the roots down with his sword. Soon the rain stops for the sun rises anew as Arthur was unable to cut down anymore, the bells started to ring.
"Sir!" said one of the members.
"Yes, I know." said Arthur. "Retreat..."
And so, they leave and so does Igor with the dying Michelle wherever those two will go to now. As Rin, Kiyomi, Zuku, Shiemi, and Shura all looked at the sky while hearing the bells ringing. What was that all about?
"What's with the bells?" Rin asked.
"No kidding. Just out of nowhere." same with Kiyomi for Zuku hated the loud sounds.
"It's an emergency summons from the Vatican." Shura said while taking off in a hurry.
"That can't be a good thing." Rin said to turn to Shiemi next. "Hey, you think they're going to work things out?"
"I just know that they will..." she said with a smile on her face. "If anyone can find it, then they can."
"You don't say...? You know what, Shiemi? I think you're right about that."
This made Kiyomi smile.
"Yes, Kiyomi, they're going to the Garden of Omaha. I'm sure they'll find it." said Shiemi.
Shiemi and Kiyomi laugh to know that all did work out after all to see Igor to be happy with Michelle to rest in peace in his arms in the end. Rin was right from helping some of the people in the end for Kiyomi to be happy about it as well...For they soon hug and kiss each other.
"You did the right thing, Rin."
"Thank you..."
Aw, so cute together...Shiemi has a good heart too to be having friends like them. As Arthur arrives to see Egin and the only one there at the meeting and not the three Grigori group this time for one reason only as he and Kai were the only ones there today - he called them out to take over for now on for a whole new world order, that doesn't sound good at all. For Egin takes over to make Arthur upset about this matter for a new world order to change by his hands. Also, Yukio was the new Paladin to also take over Arthur's post. Not good...So why did he join? As the mysterious woman Xiamon Kai goes up to him.
"You know of Rin's girlfriend, Mr. Okumura?" she asked.
"Kiyomi Saki. Yes, I do. May I ask why you want to know about her?"
Once Yukio asked Kai that question, she just smiles in a freaky way.
"Well, I've been searching for her for so long. And...I want to see her again."
Seriously, who was that woman? Doesn't look or sounded good at all and why, Yukio...? More to come next time that's for sure as he tells Kai all about Kiyomi, must be the new demon who took over a human woman's body.
