Ki Master
Chapter 2
Author Notes: And we're back folks~ So a few things I want to point out. First off, the start of this chapter is a flashback-like 225 years into the past flashback. So keep that in mind. And my character's oc as far as name is under Xxx for this chapter.
Simply because Ming Xia is her mortal name, and at this point in time she has not obtained it yet. Rasha is the mortal name her grandmother gave herself and uses from back when she was in Assiah. Make sense? Ok? Ok-I do not own Blue Exorcist.
3rd P.O.V
The sky was painted a rustic red by the time Xxx finished preparing herself. She was starting to run out of time, no matter what she had to get going! Easily her pace quickened as she carries a small bag.
Hidden within was full of materials she had gathered from the small trips to Assiah she's made in the last two years. Truly they were small things, a few books, some female wear, as well as some scented liquid known as perfume.
The aroma was a bit strong, but when aired for a period of time it was lovely. And at this point anything was better then the smell of blood and rotting flesh. "I see the rumors are true." Startled from her musings Xxx turned around, blushing as she was caught red handed.
"Grandmother Rasha!" Despite being over a thousand years old she still looked quite young if judged in human terms. Perhaps later forties with peppered black and white hair cascading down her back. Small lined wrinkles forming on her snow white form.
The 'old' lady stood, leaning against one of the dead trees that were scattered throughout Gehenna. Despite being found by the older demon, there was no tension or fear to be felt. "Now child I do hope you planned on at least saying goodbye before disobeying your parents?"
Xxx was sheepish as she adjusted her bag. "Yes, I was actually on my way to see you." She was glad, of all relatives she loved and respected it was her grandmother that found her.
Not that she didn't care for her other relatives, but the ancient woman understood her best, and knew why she couldn't stick around Gehenna any longer. Soon enough she wouldn't be welcomed in general.
"Are you sure you'll be alright? Once Lord Samael brings you there you'll be entirely on your own. You won't be able to send so much as a parchment of letters to us." A snort escaped Xxx
It was fine by her. "Considering mother, father, and grandfather have at this point disowned me, it's for the best. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried hunting me down and dragging me back to Gehenna." Rasha clucks her tongue.
Why was this family of hers so stubborn? "You know they're only worried about you. I mean you DID dump one of Satan's sons. And to top it off you gave what could only be described as a 'mortal' reason."
If Rasha were honest she considered her granddaughter to be very lucky! Not only did she outright refuse marrying him which would've set her up for life as princess of Gehenna, but she also plans on living among the mortals- Peacefully!
"You're playing with deadly fire girl." It was a miracle she was alive, let alone getting help from the very ex to enter Assiah. "I know. But I'm not going to change my mind on the matter." Sighing Rasha pulls her kin into a hug, an odd display of affection to their kind.
But the old one had lived in Assiah at one point, she too influenced by the world and those that dwelled in it. "I could stop you-you know. I could drag you back to your parents, have them lock you away and punish you for your young, reckless choices?" Xxx didn't deny it for an instant.
Her family in general were powerful beings. Their abilities even rivaling Satan and his sons, her grandmother specifically capable of battling the demon kings and matching them should she dare get serious.
Rasha plays with Xxx's hair, letting it flutter through her fingers before continuing. "But doing such would do nothing to help the situation. If anything I'm to blame for these crazy decisions of yours. I'm the one who told you about the other world and made you the curious little thing you are today."
It was hard for the both of them, to let go and separate like this. "Don't be like that grandmother. You know i'll be happier down there. I may even be able to find a suitable partner...one that's not a manipulative asshole." She was immediately shushed for her rude statement.
But truthfully Rasha agreed, although anyone else would not. "You know anyone would kill to be his partner yes?" Xxx huffs, annoyed just thinking about the obnoxious demon prince she was with.
"I do, but that doesn't mean I wish to be someones' toy or how do the humans say it-'chess piece?" Regardless Xxx knew she was going to be a little pawn of his in some way shape or form just by getting his help, but it's better than being his wife!
She couldn't stand him! Especially since he was up to something, he had that wretched grin on his face, and that meant trouble. Once she's in Assiah she is traveling, getting as far as away as she can from the bastard. "I have something for you my little Xxx."
Rasha released her kin, smirking at the young girl's embarrassed blush. Her grandchild could be so bashful. "Grandmother! I'm two-hundred and thirty! I'm not a little spawn anymore." Her cheek immediately gets pinched, sharp claws and all.
"You'll always be my little one Xxx. Now take your gift and be off with you. Soon everyone will awaken." There in her hands was a couple leather books. Gold and silver words written in swirls and slashes on the front and side of each one. "Is this in a human language?"
Xxx tries to understand the exaggerated lines. Her head hurting from the struggle. "Can you read any of it?" She could, it was difficult, but she had been watching the humans for two years, and with some(very little) help from her ex she was slowly comprehending their unusual systems of speech and writing.
At least for one of the languages, Xxx had no idea how many there were, and at the moment wasn't concerned with trying to learn all of them. "A little bit." Her answer is rewarded with a proud smile. Color the ancient demon impressed.
"It's written in what's called 'Chinese,' though I can't exactly recall which of the various versions it hails from. The country it's from is 'China' and up until our banishment from Assiah I lived there with your grandfather. So it may be a bit difficult to translate."
Back in the day Rasha was a medicine woman who healed the injured and sick, human and demon alike, while her husband was a warrior who fought in many battles. It was a simpler time, where good and evil weren't judged due to species but by actions.
Her granddaughter looks back, her hands hesitant in accepting the books. "Are you sure you want me to have these? Especially when I can't read it that well?" Rasha grinned, all but throwing them into Xxx's arms. She had faith that her kin would be fine.
Especially since she had a slight head start in adapting with the mortals. "Yes, these are remedies and other important notes I wrote down back when I lived in Assiah. I have no doubt that you'll eventually be able to read and use them. Now go on. No doubt Lord Samael is waiting!"
In the end nearly two-hundred years went by, and she lived the way she wished. Traveling all throughout Asia. And now, though she lost her husband and daughter, she was living a peaceful life. One she had always wanted.
Though if there was one thing she wished...other then the obvious return of her deceased love and child...it would be Rin finding his own happiness. Now she may be biased but he was a wonderful son who needed to find himself a damn lover already! He was such a bright, sweet boy and deserved someone special.
"Knock knock my dear!" At the very least he needed someone who wasn't going to play mind games and stick around even after being dumped. "Shit..." Immediately she groaned as she recognized her visitor.
She didn't want to remember that annoying voice. Let alone see the figure making those horrendous words! "What the hell are you doing here?" She hasn't seen his obnoxious ass in fifteen years-it's way too soon!
But there he is, giving a little bow towards her bedridden frame, nonchalantly gliding into her home like he owns it. "Is it so strange to visit you my dear? I'd say we're close enough to where I don't need an invitation. Especially when your health is in concern."
She gives him a look, what good mood she had was gone. What did she do to deal with this? "Since when has anyone's health ever been a concern for you Samael? Frankly you're worsening it just by being here. Cut the crap and tell me why you've come to bother me." He plays with his hat, giving her a hurt expression.
"Ohh time has made you so cold! I've come all this way to see you and offer you and my precious little brother a once in a life time opportunity! You should be grateful!" Her fingers twitched in agitation.
How in all of Assiah and Gehenna were this man and her precious baby boy cut from the same tattered cloth she'd never know. "Get to the point Samael. Truly, why have you come?" He sat down, goofy German attire and all as he presented her with a letter.
Sighing she takes the mail, figuring it would be easier to simply read the letter given. However Ming Xia found herself paling as she skimmed over the information presented to her.
There was nothing but silence as she read, only for her to put the paper down and give the demon king her harshest glare possible. "There is no way in hell I'll allow it!" Energy surged through her body, revitalizing her as she forced her aura to surround her.
"No need to be so worked up my dear. Think of your condition. I'm only trying to protect you and Rin. Speaking of which-where is he?" Like a candle the rage left her, making her cough from the exertion.
Not even five minutes and he's already drained her of what patience and energy she had. "He went to try and find a job. But that's not your concern-what you need to do is leave him alone! And while you're at it stop stalking me."
To be continued
