Red Flames
Chapter 2 - Shocking
I made my way outside, holding my bag close to me. I couldn't sleep last night just going to bed felt wrong. I would remember everything I had seen, oh Shiro if only I was stronger with my will to fight.
'He's family. You know how he was before and how he turned out. You couldn't blame him because you still cherished him. Why become an exorcist when you know you will encounter him another time.' Reinus spoke, his voice not wavering.
I love him. But is it bad. After all he did to me, killing my mother and father than killing Shiro. I still want to become an exorcist. . . .Because maybe putting my talents to work will be useful. No. I want to become an exorcist because I feel even though I am a demon I could help those.
'You sound unsure. Think about it.' His voice faded as I took another step forward, breathing out I watched the cars pass by, the lights flashed down the street with the sounds of slight rush hour in the distance.
"I will now be you new guardian." The man smiled at both Rin and Yuki, I looked at him. "You gotta be kidding me." He jumped towards me, reaching out to hug me. I dodged his reaching hands, "why won't you hug me?" He asked with a frown..
"Not taking the chance." I crossed my arms over my chest, he smiled. "How is my favorite exorcist." I raised an eyebrow peeking at him.
"I am not an exorcist Mephisto, and I have been doing great." He walked forward his mouth above my ear, causing me to be frozen.
"Did you get a good night sleep?" My skin tingled as he walked away, I silently followed seeing Yuki and Rin I gave them a light smile.
"Hey, Aya." Rin gave me a bright smile, I returned it looking at him. As the bright pink car stopped into my view, well this certainly is Mephisto. We made are way into the car, having me to sit next to Mephisto. As the drive continued I closed my eyes unwillingly, feeling the urge to sleep.
"Ayame." Feeling the hand shaking me lightly, I slowly opened my eyes. Seeing Rin looking at me with a smile and Yuki with a smile.
"W-Were are we?" I asked, Yuki pointed out the window. Looking out I was presented with an amazing view, students walked into the building that were tall as the sky and had been placed closely to each other.
"True Cross Academy."
"Change into this uniform." Mephisto handed me it when I had gotten inside, I raised an eyebrow looking at it. Was this going to fit me properly? My upper area wasn't the smallest anyway.
I went into the washroom, closing the door I quickly changed into the girl's uniform. Frowning as I looked in the mirror, I had to leave a few buttons at the top open due to being able to breathe properly. I made my way to Mephisto's office,
"Look at you, sooo cute." He titled his head, I raised an eyebrow looking at him, looking around both Rin and Yuki weren't in sight.
"They are in the entrance exam ceremony." Making my way to the door, "when are you going to tell them you are related to them." I stopped short, glancing at him with narrowed eyes.
"I am not related to them." I gritted my teeth clenching my fist, he laughed lightly titling his head. Was this actually fun for him.
"Partially you are." I nodded turning my body towards him, "not by blood." He waved his hand closing his eyes as if dismissing the matter brought up.
"Right, right." Placing his cheek on to his cheek he gazed at me with the cold eyes I had seen long before, "after school. You and Rin will have cram school, that is if you want to become an exorcist." I sighed opening the door.
"Is that a question?" I closed the door making my way to the ceremony. Walking along the lone hallways I was met with the silence, my shoes clicked against the marble floor. He put a lot of work in to this school if you think about it.
Going outside, I looked at the clock. Oh, no point going to the ceremony its going to be done by the time I get there. Biting into the honey flavored bun, I licked my lips at the taste. Grabbing a water and a bag of chips.
Going to my classes, I was surprised when I seen Rin. I made my way over to him, seeing him looking out the window.
"Hey, Rin." He turned to me, frozen. His cheeks lit up a bright blush covering his neck and face. I looked down, oh right he never had seen the size of my boobs before.
"A-Aya." I pulled the chair out, sitting beside him. "Y-Your in my class." I nodded proceeding to drink my water, handing it to him he shook his head.
"We have cram school after classes." He raised an eyebrow looking at me, "the principal will show you were it is. I'll meet up with you." He looked taken back, he never acted like this before.
"Cram school?" I nodded taking a sip of my water, "I can't explain it he will." He titled his head confused, "you'll be excited once you know." I sent him a smile, causing him to suddenly blush.
Once the bell rung, we both got up gathering our books. We walked down the stairs, seeing the students completely gone, and there stood the white dog with pink eyelids and a bow-tie with white dots in it.
"That's Mephisto." I pointed to him, watching him change into his original form I took a different direction, leaving them to talk. I sighed as I rested my back on the bench, looking up I sighed.
Feeling myself being drawn into something, I flinched watching as the sky turned red. No. No. A nightmare in the middle of the day.
Standing in front of my father's body I crouched down looking at him. His pale black hair was now dry with blood, his skin that was seen with energy filled of life was gone. The blue flames overwhelmed him, my fingers touching his cold skin.
Hearing the demonic laughter I looked up, the blood of my father staining my clothes. Satan stood not far away, his body in a demon. W-Why? Satan wasn't like this.
"Satan." I whispered, he had always watched me when father had left for missions and I was glad I did because I loved him dearly.
"Oh Ambrosia, the wrong time you have come my dear." I clenched my fist, the red raging flames bursted out of my body, covering my father's body.
"W-What!?" He spoke in confusion. Red flames were something that was stronger than the blue flames, it had represented the undying power. But my father was impossible to kill, but it had happened. I breathed out, the control of these flames was beyond hard.
I cursed as they died out, it caused Satan to break out in laughter. "I thought you were going to kill me." His fingers curled as he looked at me.
"Useless piece of shit." He laughed, I watched as the blue flames attacked me pushing me backwards, soon I felt myself become lightweight. My fingers trying to reach for my father as he smiled at me, watching the gate slowly close.
He threw me into Assiah.
123. Looks like I'm here, checking my watch I shrugged my shoulders fixing my swords properly, I opened the door. Pushing it open I had already seen Rin and other people inside, Rin titled his head to see who opened it.
His eyes widened as I made my way towards him, "A-Aya!?" I sat beside him, seeing Mephisto in his form of a dog, rubbing his chin he sat in front of me purring lightly.
"Your going to be an exorcist." Nodding I pointed to my swords on my back, "I'm shocked you didn't notice this." Hi jaw dropped, covering his eyes. I watched him slowly start to laugh I couldn't help but let out an bright smile.
"Geez, Aya still shocking everyone ever since we were kids." Hearing the door open, we looked to see Mephisto mumble something, oh.
"Please take your seats everyone, the lesson is about to begin." Yuki walked in. With guns attached to his waist, he made his way to the front. Sneaking a peek at Rin I watched his eyes bulge out, well talk about surprises today.
"It surely is an pleasure to meet you all." I propped my chin on to my hand, watching as Yuki's gaze comes across on me. Than stays there for a second longer than usually, the light blush coated his cheeks causing me to smile.
"Yukio!" Yuki looked to his brother. "That is me." Yuki replied bluntly, well looks like Yuki is the actual prodigy here.
"I would like it if you could keep quiet while class is in session." Rin was shot down, I turned my face to avoid laughing in his face. He glared at me, narrowing his eyes at me. My shoulder shook harder at his look.
Yuki started to explain about the process of how he would gather the low ranking goblins into our area to let the other's in the class receive a Manshou, looking to my left I noticed two girls. One had short brown hair with a kind smile, the other one had poka dot eyebrows, her hair held into ponytails.
I glanced to the right, 3 boys sat together. One had a bunch of piercings on both his ears with blond highlight, maybe he was a bad boy. The one that sat next to him, he was bald with a pair of glasses he looked quieter than the rest.
Locking eyes with the pink-haired one. He was handsome, with dark brown eyes and a sly smile. I watched him drink the sight of my body in, I snapped out of it when I heard the crash.
My eyes widened as the liquid had fallen to the ground, creating a disgusting stench. I heard the scream turning to my right the two girls screamed. Yuki shot the Goblins immediately, causing them to be killed instantly.
I raised an eyebrow as more rushed out, charging at us. I had gotten up, watching as the few had charged at me, curling my fist I punched the first one. Sidestepping I kicked the second one, the third one charged, its mouth opened wide.
Punching it into the side the Goblin caused it to fly to the right causing the other Goblins to fly hard into the wall, "everybody out of the class." I heard Yuki shout over the havoc, rubbing the back of my head I walked towards the door.
Yuki shut the door tightly, "I apologize deeply this is all my fault." Rin could care less about the situation and was really demanding about his need to talk to his younger brother.
"I am sorry, but please all of you remain here while I eliminate the threat." I sighed, seeing Yuki's look. I made my way over to the wall, leaning my back against it I closed my eyes. With Rin following him inside, I laughed mentally hearing their way of "talking" which was yelling.
Well this was going to be long.
Yuki went inside closing the door, that was when the gun shots echoed mindlessly through the halls. "Are you hurt, Paku?" The purple haired girl asked as she searched for bruises.
"No, I am not but thank you Izumo." I titled my head, hearing the footsteps coming toward me."Your in the way." I stayed like I was, peeking to see the problem. I noticed Izumo in front of me, "your talking to me?" I asked dumbfounded.
"Does it look like there is anyone else in front of me." I pointed to the boys nodding, "right there." She narrowed her eyes at me, or was it her eyebrows?
"Well, there's a lot of space over there." I pointed in front of me, she walked past me. Flipping her hair as she walked back, returning to my normal position. Well this should be a fun class. I should have seen that coming, well I would consider myself likable. Oh, well.
I sighed running a hand through my hair as I stuffed my hands in my pocket, I raised an eyebrow as the footsteps had gotten closer. Soon I had seen the previous three boys before standing in front of me. The blond one narrowed his eyes, I kicked off the wall standing in front of them with my arms crossed underneath my chest.
"Can I help you?" I asked as I caught the blond and pink haired guys looking down their, the blond seemed to be the first one to break out of the weird trance. "S-So what brings you here?" The blond one stuttered, I watched as his face slowly start to flood with a harsh blush.
"I want to be a exorcist." I said it like I didn't care at the moment, he narrowed his eyes. "Looks aren't going to get you anywhere." He nodded to himself as he crossed his arms over his chest. Did he think I took being a exorcist lightly.
"I let you know." I pointed my finger into his chest getting his attention. "looks are least most important right now." He gulped, hearing the door open I walked in, passing Yuki and Rin who seemed to have sorted everything out.
Class ended shortly after that, I had went to Mephisto to get my key turns out when I went to the building it had looked abandoned that was until I found out I was going to live with Yuki and Rin.
Hope You Enjoyed!
