(Tokonosu High)
As the group came down the hall they all came to a stop and got up against the wall. Rin peaked around the corner to see a small group of the creatures just roaming around. He turned back to the group as he whispers.
"Okay, I'm going to throw something that'll draw their attention so that we can make a break for it." He said as he looked at the busty nurse. "You have the keys, right doc?"
"Yes" Shizuka whispers giving him a nod
"Alright, here goes something" Rin said as he picked up an eraser and threw it which ended up hitting a locker. The dead all picked up the noiseand walked towards the source of the sound. Takashi beckoned the group, as they all ran out the doors. Once they all got outside, they all stopped cold as they saw the whole parking lot was filled to the brink with 'them'. Being the first to regain his composure Rin looked over his shoulder and spoke getting the groups attention.
"Come on, we need to get to that bus" Rin told them as they all made a run for it. Rin, Takashi, Saeko, and Rei managed to make a path by knocking down any that stood in their way. Kohta on the other hand was smiling like a mad man while he shot any of them from a distance as Saya and Shizuka were right behind him. Once they were at the bus Rin opened the door as everyone got on board except for Rin and Saeko as they decided to stay back to protect the others.
Rin brought down his bokken in a downward slash crushing one of the creatures that had gotten to close while hitting another right in the temple killing it instantly. He then spun around to face the one he kicked and swung his sword down killing the damn thing. As he looked to his side he Saeko had just finished killing of her third creature with a powerful strike to the side of the head. At that moment they hear the roar from the buss's engine which gave them the signal to enter the vehicle.
"Alright let's go!" Takashi told them as he got back on the bus
"Ladies first." He said. Saeko smiled slightly and quickly got on the bus, followed by the young exorcist.
"Wait for us!" Rin heard as he looked out the door to see a group of people running towards them.
"Shit, of all people why him" Rin groaned as he recognized the one who had spoken.
"Who's that?" Takashi asked.
"That's Shido-sensei, the teacher of class 3A." Saeko answered.
"We can go now." Shizuka announced.
"Wait just a bit longer." Takashi replied.
"They're in front of us. Any more and we won't be able to drive through here." Shizuka said.
"Just run them down." Takashi stated.
"If anymore crowd around in front of the bus and we were to run them over, it might just flip the bus." Saya mentioned she folded her arms across her chest,
"We don't have to save him." Rei said catching everyone by surprise.
"Rei what are you talking about their alive we can't just let them die" Takashi told her shocked at what his Ex had suggested.
"Look Miyamoto I dislike Shido just as much as you do but I have to agree with Takashi" Rin said getting an angry look from the orangey haired girl
"Fine, but believe me, you'll be sorry you let him live" She told her sempai as she stormed back into the bus.
As the three melee combatants looked towards the incoming group they saw that two of them were falling behind. One, which looked like the leader was standing and looking down at an injured student. Then, the leader of that group kicked down the student's face and left him, as he made his way to the bus. Shock and disgust were clear in Rin's face as he watched what had transpired and saw that a few of the dead were closing in onto the fallen teen. Rin tightened the grip on his bokken as he dashed towards the injured student with viper like speed leaving everyone present in shock.
'What the hell?' was the thought that went through everyone's mind. But before they could process what they had just saw. Shido decided to interrupt their train of thought.
"Let's go, we need to get out of here." Shido called out.
"We can't leave yet! Rin is still out there!" Kohta shouted not wanting to leave his friend behind
As everyone in and outside the bus turned towards the sight of the fallen young man they saw that the creatures were about to sink their teeth into the boy. But before that could happen Rin had managed to get in between them as he swung his bokken in a wide arc slash but this wasn't one of the attacked he had used against the other or in his spars with Saeko, no this was a full powered, bone shattering, death blow which was too much for his simple wooden sword to manage as it shattered in tinny splinters as it hit the first body. This was the very same type of attack that he used against both his demon half bother Amaimon and Satan. The only thing that would have made the attack even more destructive was if Rin had added his blue flames.
As for the creatures, they were rocketed off in all directions. One of the creatures had been propelled right into the school. another ended up being slamming hard against the constructed walls, impacting with enough force to make an actual crater in it. and the last of the creatures was blown away in another direction, rocketing at the fence before spring boarding face first crashing into the cement.
"Ho-How on earth did he do that" Saya asked still god-smacked at what she just saw along with everyone else.
Once Rin saw that all the creatures were dealt with, he then grabbed the fallen young man as he placed him over his shoulder returning to the bus with break neck speed. On his way towards them he gestured for everyone to get inside the bus to which they quickly complied as they took their seats. Before they even knew it Rin stood outside the bus while Takashi quickly helped the injured student in the bus. Once seated Rin got inside as he stood beside Shizuka.
"Punch it doc!" Rin told her. As she began to speed up she saw another horde in front of her and while she felt great fear she knew it had to overcome it for not only her sake but for her groups as well.
"They're not human anymore…" She said to herself and finally pushed down on the pedal, as she began to run them over. "They're not human anymore!" She screamed as she broke through the school gate and towards freedom.
Once out everyone breathed a sigh of relief for the first time in a good while as they finally felt safe. But this didn't last long as they all froze as they felt a chill run down their spines. Looking towards the source of the feeling, near the driver seat stood Rin with an enraged look in his, as the other followed his gaze the group wasn't surprise to see that it stop on the man that tried to kill one of the students. As he slowly walked towards him, his group along with the injured student that Rin had saved watched him without uttering a word.
Shido sat in his seat with fear showing in his eyes. The dark haired teen continued to make his way towards him, but then a student from the other group got up from his seat and stood in front of the dark haired teen. This student had brown and yellow hair, he wore the normal male Tokunosu High School uniform, and unlike the other students, he wore slippers instead of regular shoes. Under his uniform he wore a blue high-collar sweater that is unbuttoned slightly. His name's Tsunoda, the same guy who's ass Rin had kicked when he first met Kohta.
"Go sit down!" He yelled clearly agitated.
Not in the mood for the delinquent's stupidity, Rin grabbed the student by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up off his feet as he looked up at him. Some of the people gasped in surprised by Rin's strength. The way he simply lifted Tsunoda up with one hand was not normal by any other student. He didn't say anything and instead, tossed the delinquent towards the back of the bus as he continued to walked up to Shido. The teacher at this point was starting to shake in fear, as the young exorcist stopped right next to him. Once in front of him Rin looked deep into his eyes as he released a good portion of his demonic power directing it straight at Shido. At that moment the man began to lose color and all he was able to do was stutter two questions which were barely understandable do to his shaking.
"W-Who are you? W-what are you?" He stuttered.
The exorcist didn't respond with words but instead grabbed the collar of the teacher's shirt and lifted him out of his seat as he sent an even larger portion of his demonic power. Reaching a new level of fear the slimy teacher grabbed hold of the dark haired teen's wrist as he struggled to get free, but unfortunately for him Rin's hold was like a vice.
"Listen carefully you slimy piece of shit. If i ever see you leave anyone behind again, the dead will be the least of your problems" Rin told the man as let him go dropping him on his ass while dispelling his demonic energy; while he hated using it, it worked wonders for intimidation.
As for Shido he returned to his a sit paler than usual while he watched Rin walk away. Once he was next to Shizuka he took the medical bag as he approached the student he had saved.
"What's your name?" Rin asked.
"Hi-Hiro Amano" the young man said as Rin began to examine and then bandage his wounded ankle along with the bruise on his cheek
From her seat Saeko watch the young Exorcist with a bit of admiration, she had seen first hand his skills in first aid when their spars had gotten a bit out of hand and he offered to help her out. But her reminiscing was cut short as Shiro's voice reached her ears.
"Busujima-san, I'm assuming you're the leader of your group?" Shiro asked her
"No. We just worked together" Saeko answered while she noticed how Shido was keeping a close eye on Rin.
"Well that's no good. Every group needs a leader in order to survive." He replied as he began to do a 'little' speech.
I told you, you'd regret saving him." Rei told Takashi as she turned her sights towards the window with an angry look on her face.
(30 Minutes Later)
"I'm telling you all it's going to get even more dangerous if we keep going. What if we run out of gas in the middle of nowhere?! What are we going to do then! We should just find a safe place and wait for this whole thing to blow over!" Tsunoda shouted, as he stood in the aisle.
"Tsunoda-san is right! We should just find a safe place with food and drinks to keep us alive and barricade ourselves inside!" suggested a fearful boy whose name was Kurokami but before anyone else could give their opinion the bus came to a screeching halt nearly throwing everyone that was standing up off their feet.
"That's enough! I can't focus on driving with all of this commotion!" Shizuka shouted.
"RAGH! I can't! I just can't stand him anymore!" Tsunoda snapped as he pointed at Takashi
"What did I ever do or say to you?" Takashi said as he got up from his seat.
"You bastard!" yelled the crazed teen as he charged towards Takashi. But before he could've landed a hit Rei had gotten up and hit Tsunoda hard in the stomach with her make shift spear.
"Asshole." She said as she sent a glare towards the fallen teen. But then the sound of planning clapping drew everyone's attention, as they all saw Mr. Shido now standing.
"Bravo!" he began. "That was outstanding teamwork, Komuro-san and Miyamoto-san. However, this little spectacles only serves to prove my point." He grinned as he leaned forward to the two shorter teens.
"We need a leader." He said with the type of smile one would only see in a really 'good' politician.
"And let me guess? You nominate yourself" Saya said with clear annoyance in her voice
"Well I am a teacher and the oldest that alone should make it very clear who's more qualified. And I promise you that I was assure that we all survive." Shido told them with a smug demeanor while receiving a set of glares from both Rei and Rin.
While Rin hated to admit it Shido definitely had charisma going for him if the looks of admiration and round of applause he was getting from his group was anything to go by. Rin was sure that the slime ball must have been a politician in a past life or something. But even so Rin's gut told him not to trust anything the teacher said and until now his gut had never lead him astray.
"I supposed that it's decided that I'm the leader from now on, by majority vote." Shido said with a creepy smile as his little group cheered, but their celebration was cut short. As the sound flesh hitting flesh was heard as they Rin had punched Shido to the ground
"Like hell!" Rin yelled not willing to let a guy like Shido lead anything. "If you think I'm letting someone like you who wouldn't hesitate to let someone else die just so you could live lead my friends and I any were then you're crazier than I thought!" Rin shouted leaving a few people wide eyed as a pregnant silence roamed the bus.
Rin-san is right! Shido would rather throw us to does monster rather than lift a figure to help us!" Rei shouter with venom in her voice clearly directed at Shido.
Rei!" Takashi said
"I have to agree with the two of them, he sacrificed a student just so he could survive." Saeko spoke up. "We can't trust him."
"He's already trying to take control." Takagi spoke up. "Even if we wanted a leader he would be no good." Rin removed his foot off Shido's chest making the teacher sit up before Rin had grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt and pulled him up to his feet before pushing him forward towards the door.
"I'm not about to kill a living person. But I sure as hell won't let you stay here with us. Marikawa-sensei stop the bus." Rin told the busty blonde
"O-Ok." The bus came to a halt outside of a tunnel and the doors opened and Rin planted his foot in Shido's back and Shido found himself on the side walk quicker than he had expected.
"He saved our lives you can't do this!" said one of the students.
"Yeah you can't kick him out like that he's a hero!" Another shouted before the whole back of the bus started to protest and yell at Rin
. "He's a threat, to us. He won't hesitate to turn on any of us. If you want to go out there and keep him company be my guest." Rin told them as he got out of the side gesturing them to leave if so they wished.
"I owe Shido-sensei my life, I'm not sticking around here with a bunch of idiots like you!" Tsunoda said as he was the first to leave after Shido
"Anyone else?" Rin asked looking over the back of the bus and all of the people who came with Shido got up and exited the bus.
"You sure about this Rin?" Saeko asked turning back to the dark haired teen.
"He was too dangerous and the rest made their choice. i just wish it had been the right one" he told her with a disappointed look as he took his seat
"Marikawa-sensei, we should probably keep moving." Takashi told her as he blonde haired woman nodded her head and the bus drove forward leaving the teacher and students behind on the curb.
End
(A/N: Hey people how it is going first of I want to thank everyone who gave me a review and their thoughts on the story. I'm sure does of you who have seen the anime and read the manga have taken note of the changes such as the guy who was supposed to die being alive and Shido and his group being a thrown out of the bus. Well I just feel that if Rin really was in the HOTD universe that's sort of how things would have turned out due to that fact that 1) Rin would never let an innocent person die if it was in his power to save said person and 2) Well we all wanted someone to quick Shido out so why not right.
I hope that this chapter has been to your enjoyment. Please follow, favorite, review and if you have any thoughts or ideas you would like to share please PM for all ideas are taken into consideration and if youd like please check out some of my other stories.
