So as you can tell I did skip ahead like I talked about. Just not as far ahead as I thought, but hey why would I skip one of my favorite fight scenes? Ya the short story on the parts I skipped is?! (drumroll). Roughly the same, I will explain some of the changes in flashbacks. The thing you need to know is that Rin has still been hearing from the demonic voice in his head. He hasn't talked to anyone about it but it's affecting his behavior more and more. Yukio is worried about it. Shura is well, being Shura.
"Hello my names Amaimon a demon king, nice to meet you. Can you send Rin out to play?" The human looking boy stood at the edge of the camp just outside of the magical circle. He was wearing a tattered cloak with a shredded bottom. His skin was pale as the moon while his fingernails were black and curved. A polo shirt was so faded it looked like a tattoo and his pants were black as well. The oddest thing about him was his hair which was green and at the center became a perfect cone. Shura drew her sword placed herself firmly in front of the children. "Yukio, why did you have to go get water at a time like this? Don't leave the circle he can't enter in while it's intact." Amaimon furrowed his face and pulled out a book. Flipping through the pages he finally found what he was looking for. Looking back up at Shura he frowned.
"I would be helpless if it wasn't for my book, from demonic to Japanese handbook. But I think I get this message across without too many words. Amaimon quietly said. Slowly a dark green cloud appeared around his hand. Putting it up against the crackling wall of energy keeping him out he announced, "I win." With one push the barrier shattered leaving the campers vulnerable to attack. Snapping his fingers his pet Behemoth charged forward attacking Shura growing in size during the fight. Struggling to keep the demon back with one hand Shura tossed Rin his sword and yelled at them to run away. Amaimon only danced while yelling, "I win, I win" over and over again.
The students ran through the forest ignoring the branches that scratched their faces and each time their clothes snagged they felt as if something else had grabbed it. Rin was worried but for a different reason. That was his sword teacher back there if she died who was going to teach him? Sure she had taught him some forms and some moves but barely anything worth mentioning. She just said some mumbo jumbo about incorporating some other fighting style into it totally worthless. And the other students had proved themselves to be useless in a real fight in one way or another. Kuro and Shima were cowards. Shiemi was too quick to freeze in place or shield herself and do nothing. Izumo was alternately unreliable in her summons or a good fighter. Ultimately she was the best one of the lot. Bon wanted to be a dragoon and Aria but he hadn't seen him even carry a gun so he was only luggage. Izumo was like himself, number one was yourself and everybody else was last on the list. Survival would depend on how fast they could get to a city and blend in. Amaimon wouldn't cause too much trouble in public as he seemed to have somebody controlling his actions to a degree. Some would die others would survive. Thinking he only had one minute tops before Amaimon started chasing after them Rin debated over a way to split up the group in a way to allow Izumo and him to get away together allowing the strongest to survive and the weakest to die.
Surprisingly it was Bon who brought up the idea. Talking in between gasps he said, "We have to split up…Give some of us…time to get…away" Nearly everyone was to scared or tired to argue and they split up branching out. Rin slowed down his pace for a little while to get an idea of where Izumo was going. One the others were out of sight his sped up pushing off of a tree trunk and flipping into the branches. From then on he moved above the ground at a much faster rate leaping from branch to branch until he was above Izumo. Because she was using her familiars to clear a path in front of her she was making quite of headway through the forest but he could speed it up a bit. Dropping down in front of her he picked her up like a three year old piggyback style and set off again leaping back up into the trees. When her spirit foxes tried to attack him to protect their master he commanded them to stop without even thinking. "What the hell Rin? Why are you here? How are you doing this? Put me down I'm not a child to be carried like a baby!" She demanded struggling.
"You know I picked you up because I thought we would have the best chance of survival together but you really annoying me." Rin said easily while leaping from branch to branch. "Besides I doubt that you could do this at all let alone the pace I doing it at." As a branch broke as he jumped to the next one Izumo let out a small shriek. "It would be better of course if your fur balls made sure that the branches could hold our weight. Or maybe you'd like them to scout ahead so that they can find the quickest route back to headquarters. Maybe even one to each job just do something! I picked you up because you're the most useful but you're letting me down right now." After a short silence between the two of them she did what he had recommended. It wasn't even a minute before one of them came rushing back telling them to stop. Jumping down to the ground Rin slid to a halt and set down Izumo to listen. The others were already being taken down by giant chuchi and another one was heading this way. It wasn't very far away and it was tearing up the forest looking for them. Rin fingered the Kurika thoughtfully. "Do you think that the three of us could take it?" He asked the fox. Before Izumo could tell him to include her in the count he continued, "Your job is to maintain the summoning and give them energy nothing more. Think of yourself as a sniper picking off the enemy from far away."
The plan was cut short when the tree they were hiding under snapped in half as the chuchi pushed it out of the way when it landed. The spirit foxes pushed them to the ground to avoid the swipe from the front legs of the giant demon. "Looks like a damn butterfly" muttered Rin as he stood back up. His hands had been scraped when he hit the ground and the blood that dripped from the torn flesh felt like it was burned. Izumo was dazed but commanded the foxes to attack. At least she was still useful. Once again jumping as high as he could he bounced off of another tree that was nearby to propel him unto the chuchis back. The wings looked like butterflies wings from far away but closer one could easily see the difference in the demon. The scales of a butterfly on the wings are soft and tiny, these were spiked and as large as Rins hand. They did the job of protecting the wings from Rin who didn't want to draw the sword. The foxes did their job of going for the things throat when the chuchi tried to get Rin off its back. It didn't work insects have multiple legs for a reason, using the front legs it swatted the foxes away while snapping one wing straight up sending Rin flying off its back. All three landed in a nice pile after slamming into a tree.
Ignoring the pain Rin pushed the foxes off his chest and stood back up. Looking at them unmoving he felt a little chill go down his aching back as he heard the voice again. "You know that would act differently if they served you…command them. I gave you authorit,y use them" The voice continued to whisper in his ear telling him what to say.
"Wake up Mike and Uke, for the battle is not over rise again and serve." Talking in a sing song tone he looked at the foxes. Izumo who had just stood back up fell back down when the bag that held her summoning slips burst into blue flames. The foxes stiffened for a moment before flying into the air. Rippling they changed shape as their necklaces broke and fell to the ground. A blue inferno came out of them when they broke and stayed around them until the change was complete. Mike stood on four legs standing as tall as Kuro when he was full size. Black fur glinted in the light of the moon while the blue lightning pattern streaks down his sides seemed to glow. Four tails swished behind him. Uke was identical except the colors were reversed. Opening their mouths revealing white teeth they roared at the chuchi who had been tearing away the trees that were in its way. Startled the demon took to the air. Mike and Uke didn't let it get far jumping forward and shredding its wings like they were paper going through a shredder.
When Rin turned to face Izumo although she would never admit it her knees buckled with fear when she saw Rins eye glowing red. And this time she knew it wasn't her imagination.
