Chapter 50~
"A total barrier?" Bon questioned, as he looked at their teacher in shock and didn't notice his boyfriend panicking on the inside.
"Yeah." Shura replied, as she stuck her sword into the ground and looked at the dirt. "It protects everyone inside the circle and attacks everything outside. For the time being we're safe inside it."
"But who was that guy?" Kamiki demanded, as Rin nervously bit his lip and held back his tongue.
"Professor, is this training as well?" Miwa asked.
"Isn't this a bit too tough for that!" Shima spoke, looking at Miwa.
"The training is over." Shura announced, as she finished pulling her hair into a bun and looked off into the trees. "Now we're gonna prepare for Amaimon's attacks."
"Amaimon?" Half of them repeated, as Bon glanced back at the demon and Rin gave him a small nod.
"Amaimon." Kamiki repeated. "One of the Eight Princes of Hell, the Earth King?"
"Yeah." Shura replied, as she bent down and grabbed some holy water catenae's. "He's a big fish, so big you Esquires won't be able to land a single scratch on him. I'll soak you in triple-C holy water for extra protection. Come here."
"Why is-" Kamiki started, before she was doused in holy water and Rin inwardly chuckled. "such a big fish?"
"Is this some kind of-" Shima started, before he was doused as well. "a joke?"
Which distracted Shura long enough to almost doused the demon in holy water, till they both realized the mistake and Rin looked at her in pure shock. The two staring at each other for a moment, before the woman backed off and held the jug down a bit.
"Whoopsie, that was close." She half joked. "It wouldn't be a pretty sight if I soaked you."
Just as she soaked Miwa beside her and made a cross over her chest with her fingers.
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." She spoke, before she put her hands on her hips and looked at them. "Okay, this will protect you somewhat until you dry."
"You're not going to do it to Rin?" Bon questioned.
"Umm…He's, lessee…allergic to holy water." Was Shura's pathetic excuse, as Rin shot Bon a look and the teen seemed to get it.
"Allergic to holy water?" Bon practically yelled, covering up for his question. "Is that even possible?"
"By the way, where is Yukio?" Rin asked, as he looked away from his boyfriend and looked at the woman with her back turned to them.
"He was in the way, so I sent him away." She spoke, turning and looking at him.
As his classmates started calling the demon's younger brother on his cell number, while Shima stood there and didn't bother, and Rin growled to himself.
"Why is there and emergency number if no one picks up?" Kamiki demanded in frustration, slapping her flip phone closed and glaring down at it.
"I can't contact the other teachers either." Miwa announced, looking at all of them.
"Why's a big one like Amaimon attacking us?" Bon asked, as he glanced at the demon; as if he was hoping for some kind of answer of some sort.
"I wonder." Shura sighed, as the demon bit his lip and walked over to the woman.
"Hey." Rin spoke, getting the woman's attention. "I don't know why, but he's probably after me."
"I know." She smirked up at him, as the demon squatted down next to her. "Don't worry, this barrier should hold against even Amaimon. But it looks like he's got some kind of plan this time. The next time he attacks you'll leave here with the Kurikara."
"With the Kurikara?" Rin questioned.
"I bow down to beg your permission." Shura spoke, as she set her hand over her stomach, and the Kurikara in the case slid out of the tattoo; before she shoved it in the demon's face. "Take it."
The demon jerking back in surprise, as she waved it in his face and the demon hesitated to take it. As Shura caught his reaction and gave him a small smirk.
"What? What's wrong?" She questioned, as she waved it in front of his face. "Weren't you going on about how you wanted it back?"
"And weren't you supposed to suppress, my power?" Rin questioned, as he glared at her and didn't take the blade. "You told me not to use my flames."
"Shut up, already." She frowned. "I warned you, but you went and used them anyway, didn't you? I saw it."
The demon let out a growl, as she laughed at him and Rin looked down at the ground. The teen inwardly cursing himself for even using his flames, let alone being caught by the woman, as she shoved her sword into the ground and looked at him.
"The point is, how are you gonna fight without your flames?" She asked, giving him a serious look.
"That's…"
"Amaimon is the King of Earth, he ain't a little imp like the ones you've fought so far. Think about it."
Rin stared at her, as he tried to weight the possibilities and all he came up with were bad ones. He could lose so much, if he took the Kurikara back. Like his classmate's trust in him, his secret being let out for the order to hear, and even his boyfriend. Things he couldn't let happen, no matter what the good possibilities were. Even if it meant they got out of here in one piece and no other exorcists were involved. Although, the demon's younger brother was still out in the forest somewhere; and the last thing the demon needed was his younger brother getting hurt, but even Rin knew that Yukio could take care of himself. He had seen his brother fight before, and he had no doubts in his brother's fighting at all, but Amaimon was a completely different subject. If the older demon found out the younger demon's brother was still out there, or Bon was his boyfriend, he could use either possibilities against him. Let alone anyone else around him in this circle. He'd do anything to protect his classmates, but he'd die for his family and Bon. Plus, the more he thought about it, the more it sounded like a terribly bad idea to start with. He couldn't risk everything, when the barrier could keep them safe.
"Shiemi, where are you going?" Shima called out, breaking the demon's concentration and snapping him back to reality.
Only for the two of them to turn and see the blonde walking to the edge of the barrier. Her walk a bit off, as if she was being controlled by something, as Shura got up and went after her.
"Hey, someone stop her!" She yelled, as Rin followed after her and they both noticed something crawling underneath her skin; at the back of her neck. "Is that a parasite?"
At the exact moment their classmate left the barrier, Amaimon dropped down beside her and she walked right to him. The older demon resting a hand on her head, as she stopped walking and he held her close to him. The younger demon calling out her name, and ready to run after her, till Shura threw her sword in his path and he came to a halt.
"What did you do to her?" Shura demanded, as she glared at the demon and Rin looked at the two.
"I just made a demon bug lay her egg in her." The demon spoke, as if it wasn't a bad thing at all.
Rin's classmate leaning against the Earth King, her green eyes vacant, as he stroked her hair and looked at them. It obvious the bug had full control of his classmate, and it wasn't going to let her go anytime soon.
"It took awhile for it to hatch and connect to the nerves, though." The demon mused, as he looked down at her for a moment and looked right at Rin. "But now she'll do whatever I command."
With a small smirk, he lifted her up with one arm, as she hung onto his shoulder, and took off into the trees. Teasing the younger demon with a happy call, as Rin growled and headed after him.
"Wait, you broccoli!" Rin yelled, rushing out of the barrier.
"Wait!" Shura called just as Amaimon's pet, Behemoth, came out of the bushes and growled at the younger demon.
The little thing lounging at him, as Shura came up from behind him and hit it with her sword. The metal clanging against its teeth, before it flew back and landed on a tree branch. The hobgoblin growling at them, as Shura threw the Kurikara at him and the demon caught it.
"Go, I'll follow you!" She ordered.
The demon giving the woman a small nod, before he headed off after the Earth King and left his classmates behind.
"Rin!" Bon called out, as he watched the demon run off into the trees; with the Kurikara in hand.
The teen fighting back the urge to go after his boyfriend, as Shura turned back to him and gave him a serious look.
"You're staying there no matter what happens!" She called back. "Got it?"
"That's…"
Bon inwardly growled to himself, as Rin disappeared from his line of sight, and he ignored a look of reassurance from Shima. The teen thinking back to what he had said to the young demon, after he had saved him from the moth, and how he wanted to help so much more. For him, Bon wanted to be more than just the demon's boyfriend and lover. He wanted to be someone the demon could depend on, no matter what the situation. Someone he could fight beside and rely on. Someone that cold protect him and care for him, because deep down even he knew Rin had a soft side. A side that was rarely seen and that gave him a major weakness in and out of battle. A side he had seen very few times, and that he never wanted to lose. Even if it didn't come out right in his words, the teen wanted to be the one person Rin could depend on above everything and everyone else. He needed to be that someone, and standing behind some stupid barrier was getting him nowhere. He was still at square one, and if he wanted to get any further or mean any more to the demon, he needed to take that step. He needed to move forward and grow, so he wouldn't be left behind. So he'd be right beside his favorite demon, and that Rin would finally have someone he could love no matter what the situation. Although, right now, he wasn't even close to that type of person. He was a million miles away, and he needed to catch up fast.
Scarlett: *groans* sorry for the switching back and forth crap. The episode keeps switching points of view and I had to keep trying to keep as close to it as I could.
Akira: *scoffs* at least your working on chapters
Scarlett: *growls and throw Ao no Exorcist Manga at head* Shut it!
Akira: *frowns and picks up book off lap* We really need to see to it that Drew turns you back into a human, before Hellfire ends. You get moody fast.
Scarlett: *frowns and turns back to computer* says the guy who brings out my moodiness
Akira: *rolls eyes* says you *looks at rough draft* hey, when do I get back into the action? I was in one chapter and then you left me for dead.
Scarlett: *sighs* I'm getting to it. In all reality, you never predicted shit in the anime. But I altered it to my image and added that tid bit. So, you pretty much predicted everything up to the trial with the Order; where Rin is put in front of the higher ups. So Mephisto knows his game plan.
Akira: So, I helped him cheat?
Scarlett: Pretty much
Akira: That sucks
Scarlett: Yep, you're the reason Rin got caught by Angel and every other thing that goes on from here on out.
Akira: You just like to blame me for everything, don't you?
Scarlett: *beams* yep! You're the perfect person to blame everything on!
Akira: *rolls eyes* maybe I might be useful in some other fanfiction you write
Scarlett: *thinks* nope, you're not
Akira: *sulks* thanks for the personal motivation.
