I know it's been awhile please forgive me. My life has been...bad for fanfiction. First my computer crashes and I have to get it fixed. $$$ then it breaks again for a different reason, this time not fixable. This meant all of my work that I had been doing to get ahead was lost. Add a long time to get a new comp and being behind in my homework equaled A Demon's Heart being put on the back burner. Really sad too because I had a handwritten draft on my desk, literally 65 pages long and I was about a third of the way done transferring it word by word to the comp. Anyone know of a program to somehow get it converted into word other than by hand? Last note, I didn't spend to much time looking for grammar and spelling mistakes of this one though you had waited long enough. If you find any mistakes in ANY of the chapters that you would like changed let me know and I'll look it over. This includes plot holes and contradictions ect.
The reaction was instantaneous. The chuchi's screamed and let go of the students and charged the armless earth king. He glared at Rin and shouted, "Don't mock me!" Amaimon's stumps writhed and new arms regenerated within a second. Smoothly raising a hand and snapping his fingers Amaimon sent spikes made out of stone shooting out the earth into the beasts. The screamed once and dissipated. Leaping forward Amaimon tackled Rin and send them rolling down the hill. Flames licked all around them and the earth just as quickly smothered it. Izumo, Bon and the others ran away scrambling to safety.
Snarls, rage, pain, these things emanated from Rin's mind as he fought Amaimon. Rage as Amaimon easily dodged he sword and pain as the claws of his enemy carved trenches in his flesh. Helpless at the turn of events he snarled and thought why? He had listened to father, the voice; he should be able to beat him. But he couldn't. He needed more, more speed, more strength, and more skill. Pressing his body to the limits he swung faster and faster slowly catching up with Amaimon reactions. But the difference in experience, and skill could not be denied. Slowly the wounds piled up faster than the flames could heal them. Fear started to develop within Rin, but if was a drop in an ocean of rage. Reaching out in his mind, instinct taking over he screamed at the voice to help him win.
"What do you want Amaimon to do?" it whispered back, options spiraled before him. When the chuchi had charged forward to attack Amaimon his hands had regenerated and he killed them within seconds. The lesson he had learned was useless against the demon king. Feeling his mind slipping he went for the easiest option. Leave, disappear, and never bother him again unless Rin sought him out. After choosing that option Rin passed out.
But to Amaimon he hadn't. As Amaimon's fist came crashing down to slash past his face Rin's hand caught his wrist. "You dare to strike your prince?" Rin's voice lacked the rage is had earlier and was monotone. Rin's eyes lacked their natural blue color and were blood red. Startled Amaimon attempted to leap backwards and escape the hand that held him prisoner, but to his amazement he couldn't. "Yo
u're the earth king; you should know to honor the heir to your entire world." Amaimon struck out at Rin's chest but his moving appendage was slashed off faster than he could see. As it grew back Rin twisted his arm and kicked out Amaimon's feet from under him and let go. Faster than Amaimon could hit the ground Rin grabbed his blade with both hands and drove it deep into his heart all the way through and pinned him to the ground. The blue demonic flames disappeared from the blade and Amaimon screamed as he felt the fire run through his blood instead of the air.
Rin's body, whatever was controlling it started chanting, "qe gethrisja halkvri wux re lasaua, dixobey vur valignat, refuse ekess confn svadrav relgra vur valignat, tus wux re dlarked" (Be gone until you are summoned, disobey and burn, refuse to come when called and burn, thus you are marked). The tattered sleeves of the earth kings cloak were send rushing back and wrapped around Amaimon's wrists appeared a blue tattoo of chains. Pulling out the blade Rin stepped back as the earth king wailed and disintegrated. A few minutes passed before "it" found the others. Bon, Shiemi and the others were running back to the main road. Appearing in front of them he laughed at they're fear and reveled at the look of despair on they're faces. Sheathing Kurikara and putting it back in the carrying case on his back he walked around the group letting the blue flames continue to lick at his body. When Shiemi tried to talk to him he snarled at her and set fire to the ground at her feet. Falling down and scrambling away from the blue flames he spoke. "You're all pathetic! You couldn't even get away properly. Rin couldn't fight freely because of you. He had to ask us for help." The voice controlling Rin laughed. "Ahh, we enjoy having a body after so long. But it's time for us to give it back. A few word of advice before I go. He can't make up his mind about you all, to hate you or accept you as friends? Which nature will win out, demon or human? An interesting concept is it not?"
The voice controlling Rin paused and murmured to itself, "One we had to go through when we were alive." After a short moment of silence he stepped forward and pulled Izumo closer to him. Bending down to whisper in her ear, the flames on his body going out as he did so he said, "You're in the best situation out of all of them. He's fond of you, even if he refuses to admit it to himself. But his power refuses to acknowledge you yet. Become more powerful and you may even receive his protection. Show him the respect he deserves. He is the heir to Genneha." Then Rin collapsed and the "voice" left him.
