As the three of us (Izumo left) walked down the hall, laughing, something made the ground shake. Shura then jumped in front of us, "Something happened at the branch office. Come on." Rin jumped down from the roof and they ran away.
We nodded our heads and ran after her and Rin.
I saw the Shinbu first and began gliding past all the other exorcists. I heard the entire conversation about Mephisto raising me and Rin. I got up front with Bon right as the woman placed the 'Right Eye' into her own.
"The ones who've been deceived are the lot of you!" she shouted as she disappeared.
My rage built, "YOU IDIOT TOUDOU TURNED DOWN HIS HUMANITY, HE'S A DEMON!" I shouted.
Bon turned to his father, "Long time no see Pops…"
I placed a hand on his shoulder, "Suguro-san, please calm down." He looked at me in rage then turned back to his father, "From the very beginning, Mamushi's betrayal, us being in this state… EVERY DAMN THING IS YOUR FAULT! Tell me, is what Mamushi said about you betraying us…is that true?" he demanded.
My grip tightened, "Suguro-san." He ignored me.
"Of-of course not!" his father said.
"In that case… with everyone here present as witnesses tell us the truth!"
"The truth... That's a secret, one I can not even share with you, my son." He smiled weakly. "I really wish I could bring it with me to my grave you know?"
"What are you talking about, in a situation like this…"
"This isn't the time for that, we need to chase after her." I said to stop the fight I knew was going to arise. "She's being deceived, Toudou cast off his humanity in order for himself to sustain any injury from the miasma, that woman is still human. She will eventually rot away if it is not removed. Her humanity also proves that she thinks she's doing something good."
Tatsuma nodded to me, "True,"
"OI, don't ignore me."
"Ryuji, listen to your teachers and mother for me." He said while walking away.
"Don't be acting all fatherly… If you're just going to brush this off without saying anything… I'LL NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS MY FATHER TILL THE DAY I DIE!"
My eyes grew wide, the last time I heard something like that was when Rin told me how the old man died. I growled lowly and hit Bon over the head with Akuma Suraisa.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" I turned to Tatsuma, "DON'T YOU WALK AWAY OLD MAN!" He paused and looked back, "AREN'T YOU HIS FATHER?"
Rin came up from behind me and punched him in the mouth, "Listen to me! Apologize to your dad, while you can!" Rin's voice was breaking a bit.
"THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU SO SHUT THE HELL UP!"
I ran over to him and held him up by his shirt, "Yes it does Bon, Rin said the same thing to Father Fujimoto, it hit him so hard it allowed him to be possessed. What we are trying to tell you is if you don't do or say something now, you might never have the chance." I let him go and fell the ground, "I never got to apologize for not trying to let him help me."
My hand covered my face as tears fell down my face freely and I whimpered slightly.
"…Kushi…" he looked down at me in pity. Then it distorted as he remembered what I was. He turned back to his father. "You can just go wherever the hell you like!" he shouted, "And don't you DARE come back!"
I looked back at Rin and saw that his rage built, "You know I thought you were kind of cool… How WRONG I was."
Rin lit up his flames in the middle of a large group of exorcists. "Dammit Rin." I muttered.
He ran up to Bon and tried to punch him but Bon had a recital-shield set up. "I didn't choose to be the son of Satan, and neither of us like being what we are." Bon's shield faltered and Rin grabbed his shirt. "But you're different! Aren't you?"
Juuzou used his staff to block Rin away from me and Bon, "Sorry for butting in but please for now run away both of you."
I shoved past him and walked to Rin, I clobbered him over the head. "IDIOT, I'll kill you myself if you don't stop 'flaming on' like that!" I hit him again for good measure. I turned to Juuzou and smiled, "I'm sorry about my brother, he's actually a good person."
Shura then began to chant and Rin doubled over in pain.
"R-rin?"
He eventually passed out from the pain and I sat at his side.
"Get them quarantined, both of them." Shura ordered. "He's passed out and Kushi-chan's a weakling." Some exorcists grabbed me and dragged me away.
"Shura what the hell?" I muttered. I looked to one of the guys dragging me, "Is Rin alright?"
They ignored me and kept dragging me.
