"RIN YOU FUCKING IDIOT, YOU DON'T THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD BIT OF INFORMATION? I THOUGHT YOU HAD BEEN ABLE TO!" I shouted while I clobbered him over the head.
"Ow, Utsu-chan I've been trying to unsheathe it since just now, but I just can't!"
"THE HELL?" Bon shouted.
"I don't get it myself but apparently it's a psychological problem." He demonstrated the problem to us.
"Rin, if you can't draw Kurikara, it will become a physical problem…" I held up the rod version of Akuma Suraisa.
"I'm just as worried as you are! But that's why I can't be of any help right now… I'm sorry Suguro's Dad."
He sighed, "I see that's a worry in itself, even if Utsukushi still can use her flames it won't be enough. It needs a focused slice. However if that's the case, at the very least, I'll do what I can and put up the kekkai." He tried to sit up only to fall over again.
"It's impossible Tatasuma, you've lost too much blood. Your wounds may have healed, but you're a hair's breadth away from exsanguination. If you chant the kekkai spell with that body of yours, you will surely die."
"My life isn't the only one hanging in the balance…" he replied with a pained groan.
"Koneko-chan, have you reached Shura yet?" I asked.
"No, just static." He replied. "The miasma's probably too thick."
I bit the end of my thumb nail, "Pops isn't there anything we can do?" Bon asked.
Karura turned to Bon, "Now that you mention it you are Tatsuma's son aren't you? That's just perfect, Gouhaen can be transferred between people related by blood."
Tatsuma jumped up and yelled, "NO. That will absolutely not do! He's still a child, I will definitely not allow Ryuji to get dragged into this! I'll cut these ties of my obligations in my generation! I swore that with my very life! That alone…" he leaned back and panted exhaustedly.
'That's why he always said his dad was almost trying to keep his distance. He carried the burdens of generations of the last head monks on his shoulders, and refused to let Ryuji do the same… That's why he didn't want him to become an exorcist.'
"…Up until now, carrying that cross on your back, all alone." Bon muttered.
Tatsuma smiled to his son, "What are you saying, I did that of my own accord."
"… I won't let you… I'LL BEAR THAT CROSS TOO! I won't accept any objections when you're in that state." I held onto Bon's shoulder tighter.
"He's not alone sir, we all have burdens we must carry, after today," I smiled, "We'll carry them together."
"Tatsuma, it seems your son and the young mistress are smarter then you…" Karura added.
He sighed in defeat, "That's the kind of children they are, it's why I didn't want him involved."
"Well I shall commence the succession of the Gouhaen, he who is blood of current owner, Suguro Tatsuma, show your proof of your blood." I latched off of Bon then onto Rin, as Bon bit his thumb and drew blood, as he held it out Karura's flames engulfed it. "Indeed you are the blood of Suguro Tatsuma. Suguro Ryuji, you have now become the owner of the Gouhaen." We all stood and stared in awe at the red flames that now covered Bon's hands.
"Ryuji, I will now teach you the strongest kekkai spell," Tatsuma said almost sadly. "One that is only passed to the head priests. Now come here."
Bon approached his father and they leaned away from us.
"Red flames…" I muttered, 'Karura's red flames, the original possessor of Kurikara… Now possesses Bon.' I've always preferred red to blue, but Dad liked to dress me and he always said that blue would go with my eyes better. Crazy old fart.
Just at that moment, Tatsuma collapsed, "POPS!" Bon shouted. Moriyama rushed to his side. Bon was silent for a moment, "Moriyama-san, Kamiki-san, Leo, will you stay here with Pops?"
They nodded.
"Shima, Konekomaru, and Utsukushi, please go and inform Kirigakure-sensei and everyone in the Myou Dha about what transpired just now."
"No. I'm coming with you, I'm already in a killing mood, and I don't feel like taking it out on some weakling demons. I want to help kill this, or I'll try to do it my self."
He sighed, "Fine, but if you get injured I'll wait for you to get healed then give you an earful."
I smirked in triumph. "I'll be helping Karura then." Karura nodded to me.
"It is a pleasure to have such a kind mistress help."
AN: It's almost uploaded just maybe one or two more chapters then you'll have to wait for me to write it.
