For some reason I have "Crossing Fields" from Sword Art Online stuck in my head. Anyway, who would win in a death match? Rin Okumura or Sebastian from Black Butler? On with the story!
Yukio slowly opened his eyes, yawning. He sat up and stretched. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes he reached for his glasses. He felt around for a moment, before grabbing them and putting them on. Blinking, he looked around the room, and was surprised to see that Rin's bed was empty. Yukio tilted his head in confusion, then shrugged. He stood up, and walked towards his dresser. Soon he was in his exorcist clothing, and brushing his coat off one more time, he left.
As Yukio walked down the halls leading to the kitchen, he couldn't help but have a sick feeling in his stomach. Yukio brushed the feeling off. It was probably nothing. But as he neared the kitchen, the feeling got stronger and stronger. By the time he was at its entrance, he was practically shaking. He reached for the door knob, and missed. The feeling was now overwhelming! He steadied his breath, and reached for it again. This time he grabbed it. He gripped it tightly, not wanting to open the door. He was afraid of what he might find on the other side. Taking a deep breath, Yukio opened the door, preparing for what he might see.
The kitchen almost looked normal, but Yukio was not one to easily be fooled. Drawing one of his pistols, he slowly entered the room. His eyes shifted from side to side, searching for any signs of a struggle. He took a step forward, only for his foot to bump into something. Yukio glanced down. "A pot?" He wondered out loud. The sick feeling returned. 'Calm down, Yukio,' he reassured himself. 'It's probably nothing.' However, he bent down, and picked up the pot. He stared blankly at it for a few seconds, before turning it around. His blood ran cold.
There was blood on the edge of it.
Yukio began to panic. He dropped the pot and scrambled away from it as if it was a monster. His breathing became heavy and shallow. He stood up, looking around in a frenzy. "Rin," he whispered. "Where are you?" Yukio then heard a groan. He turned around, and he saw Ukobach unsteadily rise to his feet. He seemed a little out of it. Ukobach looked around, as if trying to figure out where he was. Ukobach blinked twice, before his eyes widened. The imp (thing?) ran towards Yukio, and tugged on his jacket, babbling something Yukio could not understand.
Yukio stared blankly at Ukobach, trying to make sense of his gibberish. Yukio sighed, finally giving up. Then he saw a purple cloud of smoke appear before him. It soon vanished, leaving behind a grinning Mephisto. "I sensed my familiar in need." He explained, tipping his hat. Yukio gestured to Ukobach.
"Can you translate what he's saying?" He asked the demon king. Mephisto nodded. He leaned down, and cupped his ear, allowing Ukobach to whisper something. Mephisto nodded his head as he let Ukobach continue. Ukobach whispered something that made Mephisto's eyes widen. Mephisto glanced up at Yukio, who was waiting eagerly to learn what Ukobach was saying. Mephisto stood up, a stone look on his face.
Yukio stared in confusion at Mephisto. "Well, what did he say?" He cried out, fearing the worst.
Mephisto looked into the young exorcist's eyes. "I'm afraid I've got some bad news." He said.
...
The exwires were all waiting for their teacher to walk in. Shima was bored, and was currently chewing softly on a toothpick in his mouth. Konekomaru had his head buried in a textbook (again). Bon was quickly growing irritated, murmuring a string of curses under his breath. Shiemi was patiently waiting for Yukio, eyes never losing their sparkling. Takara was quietly talking to his puppet. Izumo, however, was lost in her own thoughts. She sighed, and looked at the seat normally containing him. She wondered briefly on where he could possibly be.
Izumo shook her head. 'Stop thinking about him, Kamiki,' she scolded herself. 'It's not like he'll ever like you back, anyway.' She sighed again. Why did she like him anyway? Sure, he was cute, but he was probably the laziest person she had ever met. 'Not to mention rude.' She thought. 'Rude, yet sweet... Damn it!' Izumo growled. Of course it had to be him. She sighed a third time. She thought about when she started liking him. She recalled it was about four months ago. (The irony. Look back in chapter one.)
Izumo's thoughts were interrupted by the opening of the classroom door. She looked up hopefully, but was disappointed when the other Okumura entered, along with Mephisto and Shura. Izumo instantly noticed the solemn looks on their faces, and she tilted her head, confused. Yukio stood in front of the class, and they stared back at him, waiting for him to speak.
"Class," Yukio said, sadness practically oozing from his words. "I have some bad news." Now everyone was on high alert, anxiously waiting for him to continue. Yukio closed his eyes, trying not to cry. Shura patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him. Yukio took a deep breath, and opened his eyes, staring at the exwires. He opened his mouth, and spoke four words that no one saw coming.
"Rin has been kidnapped."
...
Rin slowly opened his eyes, groaning softly. His head hurt like hell, and his body ached all over. He opened his eyes all the way, and was surprised by what he saw. He was in field. A field of tall, dead grass. He noticed bugs flying everywhere, eating the grass. He cringed in disgust. Then he noticed that his hands were in chains. They were above his head, and he looked up, seeing them shackled. He noticed the chain seemed to go right up into the night sky, before disappearing from sight. 'What the hell?' Rin thought.
Then he heard a chuckle. Looking back in front of him, he noticed a large man standing there, only a few feet away. The man was grinning, revealing yellowed fangs. Large pointy ears stuck out from his head. A demon, no doubt.
"Are you the demon that's after me?" Rin hissed. The demon nodded, his grin growing wider.
"I'm Beelzebub," the demon introduced. "Lord of the Flies and King of insects." He stuck his hand out. "And you are Rin Okumura, son of Satan."
Rin stared at the hand, before turning his gaze back to Beelzebub. He spat at the demon, glaring.
Beelzebub's grin disappeared. In a split second, he slashed his claws against Rin's throat, tearing it open. Rin's eyes widened, as blood poured out of the wound. He gurgled, choking on his own blood. Beelzebub narrowed his eyes.
"Too bad it won't kill you." He growled, nodding at Rin's already healing throat. Beelzebub leaned in close, shaking his finger at the boy. "But, no. I have different plans for you." Rin coughed as his throat finally healed. He stared at Beelzebub.
"What are you gonna do with me?" He asked in a raspy voice. Beelzebub's grinned returned as he cackled darkly. (Hold on, we have a bi polar over here!)
"Good question, my boy," he said. "You're father wanted to merge Gehenna and Assiah together. I assume you knew that." Her didn't wait for Rin to answer as he continued. "Well I thought that was a stupid goal. Why merge two worlds together when you can just rule over both with an iron fist?" Beelzebub chuckled. "Unfortunately, your father was too wrapped up in his silly little world to even think about true power." He sighed. "So I decided I need to take matters into my own hands. But in order for me to do so I needed your powers. So what I'm going to do is simply absorb your powers from you to me, then I can proceed with my conquest."
Rin stared at Beelzebub in shock. Was he really going to go through with this? Rin narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth. "You're sick." He growled.
Beelzebub grinned. "I try." Was all he said. He began to walk away, when he stopped. He turned around and laughed. "And one more thing. In order for me to take your powers I have to put you through a LOT of pain." He waved his hand around. "I don't really understand how that works but I'm not complaining. But since I don't want to get my hands dirty I'm going to leave that job to my 'helper.' I believe you two have already met."
Rin turned his head and saw the assassin approaching him, his katana in hand. The assassin looked at Rin and said, "I am sorry, my young prince. But I must do as my master tells me." Without hesitation the assassin swung the sword, slicing it deep into Rin's back. Rin screamed in pain. The assassin pulled out the katana, before swinging it into Rin's stomach. Rin screamed again as the assassin continued his torture. Beelzebub cackled at the scene. He continued to walk away, vanishing in a swarm of insects, enjoying the sound of the sword being thrust deeply into Rin's stomach.
And that concludes the chapter! Hope you enjoyed it! Did anyone happen to catch the Bad News Barrett reference? Oh well. Don't forget to review! And remember, stay wykkyd!
