I couldn't sleep that night, one of the reasons for it was that I'd passed out thanks to of Shura's surprise hugs, and passed out. As I quietly opened my door I saw Rin was just closing his with Kuro on his shoulder.
"Yo." I said quietly making Rin jump. "Can't sleep?" He nodded as his hand looked like he was stuffing something under his shirt.
"Why can't you sleep?" Rin asked as we came outside each of our familiars resting on our heads.
"Because a certain pink haired lady keeps causing me to unintentionally sleep in class" I say slightly annoyed.
"I get what you mean but at least you pass out I have to deal with her awake." We both sighed at our annoyances about Shura. "Though I bet Shima wishes he culd be as close to her as you are." He said with a big smirk, I joined in the smirks and we both tried not to bust out laughing.
"Sooooo, whats been going on between you and Eyebrows?" I blushed and scowled looking out at the city.
"none of your business." I felt something click in my head and I chuckling uncontrollably.
"What?"
"PFFFFTTT HA HA HA heh, I just acted like Izumo for a second." I continued laughing as Rin realized it too and joined in. " But seriously I don't really know, I kinda like her I guess." "{That's a understatement.}" I heard Rin chuckle and I turned to Sif "well who asked you?" I glared annoyingly at Sif.
{I like him, He funny like Shiro.} I heard Kuro say making me turn me head.
"Shiro?" Rin looked at me surprised.
"Wait you can hear Blacky?" [CRAP!] again I revealed I could hear demons, when then I realized something.
"You can hear him too." This time Rin gave a 'oh I've screwed myself' face i just had. "Hey how about neither of us ask the other about said hear-age of demon thoughts?" Rin then nodded in agreement and I quickly thought of something to talk about. "Well anyway, it's just that Shiro is my uncles name and it surprised me a bit."
"Yeah well he's talking about his previous master and my father, though you could say he was the man who raised me and my brother"
"Well he's a priest here in town and I've been meaning to visit him." I looked at Rin his expression darkened with a look of realization on his face. "What wrong?"
"Shiro Fujimoto." I looked at him surprised and that's when it hit me.
"You mean...he's the...holy shit." I looked at him again and saw an expression I knew all to well. My own face darkened as I looked at my feet. "So he's..."
"Yeah."
"Tell me, did he..."
"Yeah he was awesome." We both let out a sad sigh as Something dawned on me.
"That's not how he said he'd go." Rin looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Then how? Kicking and screaming with a club ready to whack death on the head."
"Actually he told me that if death came near him he'd rip his nipples off." We both looked at each other snickering before they became full blown laughs.
"Y-heh-yeah that sounds like him. WAIT! I didn't know the old man had any other family."
"Neither did I, But I guess that makes us cousins kind of."
"Cool." We both sat there looking at the night sky and the city below. "Okay I'm a bit bored, wanna spar?"
"Sure." He handed me the extra wooden sword he had and we both stood up. "how about winner gets to tell Yukio and the satisfaction of causing a shocked expression on his face." Rin smirked jumping off on to the bridge.
"You are so on!"
"Camping! Camping! Woo!" both me and Rin said together like it was pub song each of us having one arm over the other. mostly from being a bit tired but smiled because of our draw we both told Yukio about us being family and his look of surprise was priceless. We continued our chant and pointed out the cool things in the environment.
"You two are idiots" I heard Izumo say behind us and hang back a bit to where I was now walking behind her making it look like I was going to talk to Yukio. I pick up Sif telling him to go small. I snuck up behind Izumo and set Sif on her head. In almost less than five seconds her face was bright red as I saw something interesting, Sif snuggled her making her blush more. Then I suddenly felt somewhat jealous,[why are you doing that?] {Oh she just smells like...} Sif went silent and stopped, he hopped off her and grew to normal wolf size. [Smells like what Sif?] {I'll tell you later.} [Sif just te-] {LATER!} I flinched slightly and sighed [alright buddy].
"Amazing it becoming more like a picnic." Rin said as he caused the tent to collapse again.
"Dammit Rin Stop messing with the tent!" I jabbed my finger at him as I walked over to Sheime and Izumo.
"- you and Shiroji?"
"Huh?" Said by both me and Izumo.
"I-I was just wondering what was going on between you two, you both seem to have become very close." I looked at Izumo as she did the same with me We were both blushing deeply when I got a idea.
"Izumo-Chan would you go over there for just a moment?" She gave a simple nod and scowled slightly. even more so as I Leaned close to Sheime's ear and whispered a single sentence that caused her cheeks to get bright red and nodded. I walked over to Izumo smirking, and her face still holding a scowl.
"What did you say to her?" I smirked covering my mouth as I made a few snickers.
"I told her, We would answer any of her questions if she told me who she would choose if both Rin and Yukio asked her on a date." I saw a big smirk grow across Izumo's lips as she began trying to contain her laughter.
"You done?..." I shoot open as I turn and see Shura looking at us in a tree. I quickly look for a excuse to run and turn seeing Rin had caused the tent to fall again [WHAT?!] I was genuinely annoyed now.
"HEY WHAT DID I TELL YOU!" Rin saw my angered face and ran "GET BACK HERE!" I then ran both after Rin to smack him and also fleeing Shura.
Sheime and Izumo 'attempted to make dinner, before thankfully Rin took over I nearly downed all my food and forgave Rin. one by one everyone was shocked by the greatness of Rin's cooking. I felt a warm of everyone smiling and looked at Rin seeing a smile of pure happiness grow on his face.
That warm feeling left for me as Shura began drinking causing me to worry.
"WAIT! she said she was eighteen, shes underage and drinking." Bon pointed out, I realized I'd missed her classroom introduction due to her surprise that day.
"What are you talking about? she already just turned twenty si-" Both me and Yukio were cut off as Shura threw her can which bounced off Yukio and hitting me as well.
"Whoop my hand slipped." Both me and Yukio gave her a glare, my dissipated before Yukio's however and I saw the terrifying sight everyone else saw. After that moment Yukio explained what our test was, to go and retrieve a lantern and bring it back to the base, only three were out there and the only hint of location was that they were fifty meters away from base camp. We all divided and went off in different directions, beginning the test.
As I ran there were large moths everywhere. They started swarming around and getting really annoying.
"Ruyi, SHREDDER!" I grasped the hilt the blade becoming like a wide and long cheese grater, only it was razor sharp. In mere seconds I reduced the swarm surrounding me to tiny tattered insect bodies and wings. I heard a yelp and Izumo panicking slightly as her Byakko killed the moths, I jumped by with a smirk. "Not a fan of bugs Izumo?" I ducked as a rock hit a tree where my head was.
"S-SHUT UP!" I just smirked seeing she was okay.
(*-BGM-Break of Reality-Vintage-*)
After awhile I was almost to the lantern, I could see it just over the hill and saw it was already taken. I sighed and jumped up high onto the top of a tree to get a better look of who took it.
"Hmmmmm, you seem interesting, brother never said anything about you" I turned and saw a guy wearing oddly both equally strange and cool looking clothes, and green hair.
{SHIROJI RUN NOW!} I heard Sif and did as advised, running in a direction away from base. {SHIROJI THAT IS AMAIMON THE DEMON EARTH KING, HE WILL CATCH UP WITH US SOON!} I knew what we needed to do and smirked.
"Well haven't done this in a while. LETS GO!" I gripped Ruyi with both hands as the blade shifted to a its normal blade. Sif dissipated into black smoke and red sparks as I felt my whole body tingle as he merged with me. My ears elongated and curved back hons grew from my head. my irises turned crimson and my pupils slit as the scleroses of my eyes turned black.
"Oooo, that's interesting" I charged him and hit him in the chest knocking him into a tree, I raised Ruyi and strike but Amaimon had dodged. I pursued slashing at times when I saw the opportune moment but missing each time. "huh, okay I guess I was wrong this is pretty boring." as he said that he punched me hand in the stomach sending me into a tree hard as I coughed up blood and tried desperately to get air to my lungs. He stood in front of me looking at me as if I'd disappointed him "Maybe one of those others might be more fun to play with, that blonde girl was kinda cute, maybe I can try making then my wife." He started talking as if I wasn't there. "...Maybe that Purple haired girl as well." At that moment something snapped in my mind, and I punched Amaimon hard in the face sending him into the air, I felt something sprout out behind me, but right now I didn't care. I lunched myself into the air colliding with the annoying earth king. {[HE DARED TO EVEN THINK OF MAKING HER HIS BRIDE!]} My mind felt hazy any the Idea of him trying to take Izumo angered me. I almost woke something almost Primal, I didn't about it with only the intent to keep this guy away from her.
I let out an almost Beastly Growl as Ruyi enlarges looking more like a broad sword and grows to the size of one the trees as I swung it the momentum propelling it toward my enemy turning it to the flat of the blade smacking him with it as if he were a fly. Ruyi shrinks back to a charm as I jump where he had landed and I started sniffing around for him and when I caught something I growled as I turned ready to strike as I was grabbed by the throat cutting off my air and thrown. I entire world seemed to be spinning as I landed hard against the ground my entire body aching as I got up looking around pissed black smoke curling from my mouth as I felt my nails grow to which they were like claws.
My eyes widen as I saw that I had landed in base camp and everyone was around me staring at me in shock. I saw Izumo and I looked at her eyes and they had fear in them. Before I could say anything I suddenly saw nothing but the ground. I only caught a glimpse but it seemed that Amaimon had attacked me from above and began repeatedly slamming me into the ground. He stopped as Something hit him getting him off me.
"SHIROJI!" I heard Izumo say as she ran over and moved me onto my back I felt my body healing by itself slightly but it was taking its time and my whole body felt hurt and broken as I saw Sif and I separated and he was at my side. The last thing I saw before my vision faded was Izumo trying to hold back tears as she looked down at me.
