AN: Hey guys, and welcome to the 4th chapter of The Summoned Prince. First I must tell all of you that I got a beta tester. They are great if I do say, so myself, and they make the chapters better, so make sure you're thankful to them. Next, I've gotten some questions about whether I will be following the Anime or the manga. The answer to that question is I will be following the manga more than the anime, but I after awhile I will more than likely turn to my own original storyline, and everything so just be ready for that. Also, my flashbacks will all be in italics, so pay attention to that. If it's in italics then it's a flashback(or thought), and when the italics go away that means it's back I the present. Anyway, let's begin the story, and I'll talk to you guys later.
Disclaimer: I don't own Blue Exorcist.
Rin's POV
I smiled as Beelzebub agreed to help me mess with Iblis and we began to walk towards the castle. I laughed as he joked about one of the maids at the castle. Beelzebub was the family trickster and definitely has a reputation for being irresponsible. He was one of my favorite brothers because he was always a lot of fun to be around.
After about half an hour of walking and talking we arrived at one of the patio's that the castle had. It was covered with lounge chairs and tables. Beelzebub and I walked over to one of the red glass doors, and right before we got to it the doors opened for us. One of the maids had opened the doors, and she was bowing to us as we walked in.
We paid no mind to the arachnid-esque servant as we passed the threshold of the doors. She had the face of a spider with red curly hair, and four arms with spindly wicked fingers. I knew she had been a maid for almost longer than I have been alive. Once we were in the room she closed the doors and left us.
We walked deeper into the castle trying to find Iblis, and we passed the dining room, the 3rd war room, four bathrooms, 2 grand halls, and a bunch of other rooms. I was walking behind Beelzebub, and when we turned the corner a door opened in front of us, slamming right into Beelzebub's face.
"Oww!" I staggered back just in time so that Beelzebub wouldn't fall into me. Beelzebub had slight scratches on his face and a light pinkish shade to the area on and around his nose. I almost laughed my ass off at how embarrassed he looked.
I noticed that the culprit of the opened door was watching Beelzebub rub and complain about his reddening nose.
I looked to see who it was, and was surprised to see Egyn standing before me. He had smooth brown skin and long black hair that tied into a ponytail hanging down to his mid-back. Black tattoos covered and twisted on the surface of his arms and face,in stark contrast to the white robe-like garment he was wearing. The sleeves left rolled up to expose his tattooed arms.
His face was calm and collected, giving off an intimidating aura that left others desperate to bow in his presence. Even his eyes screamed elegant power, his left a strong green and his right, a vibrant, controlled blue. Perfect fit for the King of Water.
He looked at Beelzebub with annoyance. I watched as it transformed into ice cold wrath at me. It looked like a full-blown hurricane started in his eyes.
"Rin."
He was a few inches taller than me, looking down at me with that fire in his eyes and in his voice. His face twisted into a frown.
"I heard you went to Assiah without father's permission."
I felt a hint of annoyance settle on me as I said, "Yes, so what? What does it matter?" I turned my head away, dismissing him.
"SO what!? Do you know how angry I was when I found out?! I was about to head to Assiah myself and bring you back! "
"I don't remember asking you to worry about me!"
"Oh really, and I don't remember asking for a stupid little brother who couldn't stay away from those damned exorcists! "
I felt the smallest small pang of regret as I realized just how much Egyn felt responsible for me. Still, that was overshadowed by anger of being treated like I was some little demon fledgling again.
I opened my mouth to snap back at him, stopping as the room around us rose in temperature. A familiar heat.
I turned to see another of by brothers as he entered the room, Iblis. Ilbis was the King of Fire, and he seemed to have a way of appearing whenever I needed him.
Iblis walked towards us, dark auburn hair jagged, pointing in all directions. He was the very embodiment of flames and burning inferno; from the lava-rock armor and the orange tinted golden helmet at his side or the cape that seemed to be made of blazing fire itself. All the way up to the glowing embers that rested in his eyes and sparked the sea of flames in his soul.
I unconsciously let a smile slip because out of all my brothers Iblis is the one that I liked the most. He practically raised me when my father wasn't around, and taught me how to control my flames.
He walked over to Egyn with his classic swagger. Talking with a joking but still caring, "Oh come now, little bro, it's not that bad, cut Rin some slack." Iblis then appeared next to me, messing up my hair with his hand. He looked down and gave me a warm smiled.
"Ugh, stop that. It's just that I wanted to have a little fun." I swatted his hand and leaned away from him, my tail flicked irritably. I walked over to the wall and leaned on it.
"Still, you can't just disappear like that, you have duties and none of your brothers want to see you hurt, especially me." Iblis walked over to the wall, facing me.
"So?" I grumbled.
"So, if the exorcists had gotten to you then we would have had to come to save you. This almost-" I hated when my brothers lectured me just because I was the youngest.
"Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades Iblis!" I felt like a little kid again, on one of the days that I'd spent with Iblis teaching me to control my flames.
"You can do it Rin." Iblis encouraged me, "Just like this." I watched as he so easily conjured a glowing flame in his palm, then extinguished it. "Now you try."
I focused all of my might to get one of my blue flames in just my hand. Little blue sparks jumped off my hand as a dim blue light flickered, then disappeared.
"Dang it! I almost did it!" I moaned in frustration.
"Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades Rin. Try again." Iblis smiled down at me.
Iblis chuckled. "Indeed it does, you're on your own with this one, Egyn." Iblis patted Egyn on the shoulder as he vanished in puff of smoke. I wrinkled my nose as I smelled the smoke, and then I sighed. I know that Iblis and Egyn are right, but it still annoys me how they treat me like a kid.
Egyn then walked over, and lightly put his fist on my chest. He looked at me with concerned eyes and said, "Rin if you promise me that you'll be careful then…" He paused, forcing through the decision, "Then I'm fine with it."
I smirked and said, "yeah sure." Egyn smiled, and then he turned to Beelzebub who I had forgotten was there.
Egyn said, "and you, Beelzebub." They glared at each other, "try not to get into any trouble."
Beelzebub gave him a mischievous smile as he said, "Me? Trouble? Never." He smiled.
Egyn chuckled, "Well I have some more important matters to attend to than monitoring the two of you, so if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking my leave." Egyn's body dissolved into a puddle of water, that evaporates almost immediately and he was gone.
I turned to Beelzebub, "Now what?"
Shiemi's POV (A few hours after she sends Rin back)
The students watched the last few minutes of class on the clock, trying to start packing. School was almost over for the day.
I turned my head as the phone rang, not the bell.
Mr. Talch answered it, "Yes?"
"Ok, I'll tell her right away." He said, hanging up the phone after listening to the caller.
I already knew who they were talking about, I had been the center of much unwanted attention all day. I reached down to grab my bag, sticking in my notebook.
I watched as Mr. Talch came over to my seat. " Mr. Pheles just called, you need to report to Ms. Grom." I nodded, standing up with my bag.
Mr. Talch pulled out a key and gave it to me. He said, "This is the key to take you directly to her office. You're dismissed early."
I nodded and said, "Yes sir." I grabbed the key headed towards the door. Passing Yukio, "See you later Yukio."
He looked up at me, "Definitely. Just be careful."
I nodded and went to the door, using the key to leave. I listened to the last seconds of class as I closed the door behind me.
I looked around to where I was and was shocked to see the giant expanse of 's office..
I knew that I wouldn't be in the hall, and I thought I was ready for it, but I guess teleportation and stuff like that just aren't normal to me. Anyway, the room was huge. It had 6 columns with 3 on the left and right side. The room looked like I was made of gold, and there were lots of paintings of people I didn't know. There were also huge chandeliers hanging from the roof that all looked gold.
I stopped looking around when I heard a sound of a chair moving in front of me. I looked to where the sound was coming from, and I saw a desk that was in front of an indoor waterfall. Between the dek and the waterfall was a woman sitting in a chair. She had wavy black hair that fell to her shoulders, and extremely pale skin. She was looking at me with a slight smile as if she was a scientist observing a specimen in a laboratory. I walked closer, so I could see the name late on her desk, and it read .
I took a deep breath and confidently walked towards the desk. I stopped right in front of it, and said, "my name is Shiemi. You wanted to see me."
Mrs. Grom leaned back in her chair, and said, "oh yes my girl. I have some very interesting things about you."
I asked, "like what"
"Oh, just some news from another exorcist, and Sir. Pheles even gave me a call."
"So you know about my summon."
Oh yes, dear. I make it a matter of fact to know everything about anyone that catches my attention, and you have most definitely caught it." I could feel her dark eyes peering into my very soul, and it felt like she was examining my very being. She then went on to say, "Do you know how rare it is for an exorcist to summon a humanoid demon. Why the last time that happened was maybe 128 years ago from paladin Tsukki."
"I didn't know that. I didn't really try to get a humanoid demon."
gave me a smile and said, "oh there's nothing to be ashamed about. In Fact, I am quite impressed that you were able to." She nodded at her comment. SHe then said, "oh what am I thinking making you stand for so long. Please have a seat." I looked, but there was no seat for me, but then she clapped her hands, and from behind one of the columns came a demon. The demon looked as if a gray rat had evolved, and taken the form of a very buff man, but it had kept its gray hair, rat head, pink tail, and pink feet and hands.
The demon was also, carrying a nice looking chair in its hand. It brought the chair over to us and placed it behind me. Once it did said, "alright that's all. You may go." The demon made a small noise, and it returned back behind the column it came from.
I turned back to and said, "is that your demon."
She smiled again and said, "Oh yes. He is one of my housekeeping demons."
I looked at her, and asked, "you have more than one."
She nodded and said, "I have exactly 63 demons at my command."
I stared at her dumbfounded. Most tamer can only go to 3 or 4 demons, but she had 63. No wonder she was the head of Tamers. I then said, " , what did you need me for?."
gave me a surprised look as she remembered she had something to do. She said, "Oh yes, yes. assigned me to train you and you're summon. I am also to make sure that your summon never gets out of hand. has high hopes for you two. He told me he believes you two could become the Vatican's greatest weapons. Also, there is no need to be so formal with me. Please just call me Katherine."
I was flabbergasted. I had never had so many people expecting such high things on me. I finally just realized what kind of situation I was in. I then asked, "so what do you need me to do Mrs.I mean Katherin." Being so informal with someone in her position felt so wrong.
She said, "Nothing much today since you just started. I just need you to tell me a few things about yourself, and what you know about your demon."
She began to ask ve simple questions that progressively got more detailed. Such as why do you want to be an exorcist, or what are your thoughts on the demons. After a while, she took a break and clapped her hands together. Then without pause, the rat demon came back, but this time he was carrying a tray of food. He placed it on the desk, and once again went back to the column.
I looked at the tray of food and was surprised by how good it looks. There were 2 plates. The one closer to had a bacon and cheese hamburger with cheddar cheese chips, and a full cup of what I could assume was coke. On my plate was a sandwich that had a burger with lettuce, then on the side was grapes, and I had fruit punch. We ate and talked to each other.
I was starting to like as I began to understand her. She was a very kind and caring person, and she loved to learn anything about demons. Her eyes lit up whenever I said something interesting, and she was always kind to me. After we were done eating she said, "alright now may I ask a few questions about your summon."
I nodded and said, "of course."
said, "alright then. First I would like to know if your summon has a name he goes by?"
I nodded and said, "he does. His name is Rin."
She nodded and wrote that down. She then asked, "have you noticed anything alarming about him."
I taught about the time where he threw Bon down with the Reapers and said, "ye, he seems not to really care about humans, but he still listens to me."
She nodded and wrote that down as well. Finally, she said, "One last thing. If you had to describe your summon what would it be?"
I thought about that for a second, and then I decided my answer. I said, "if I had to describe Rin I would say that he is very cold and inhuman, but he seems to somewhat care about me." Nodded, and said, "Alright that's it for our session today. Come here every weekday during your tamer class time. Also, starting tomorrow make sure you keep Rin with you all day during Cram School. Alright."
I nodded my head, and then another question came to my mind. I asked, "Um, told me I would have to move to a new dorm, and that my stuff would already be moved. Is that true? taught about it for a second, and she then tipped something on the computer.
She read whatever was onto the computer, and said,"it appears that all your stuff has already been moved to dorm 68, and you will be the only one there, and your mother has given her consent." I felt my heart bump as nervousness began to creep up my spine. I had never lived anywhere but my house, and now I was going to live all by myself in a dorm.
I looked at and said, "will I really be the only one there?"
She nodded and said, "indeed you will be the only one allowed there at all the time unless the school deems it necessary. Also, your summon is allowed there at all times as well." I sighed knowing there was no way for me to get out of this, so I nodded. She then handed me a sealed letter and another key. She said, "That letter has information on written by , and the key will take you to your dorm."
I accepted the items and said, "thank you."
nodded then said, "well you may go then."
I got up from the chair and headed for the door. There was only one thing on my door, and that was what lies in my future.
