Chapter 3 is up! Yay!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Ao no Exorcist / Blue Exorcist

The idea for this story was given to me by a guest reviewer

Ryuji was exploring the cemetery. The whole place was creepy, and knowing that something could actually come out and eat your soul didn't help the atmosphere. The few grey clouds overhead didn't help too much either. Ryuji looked back at Rin, and found him to be talking to an older-looking man with white hair and glasses, who wore a priest's uniform. Ryuji didn't know who it was, but figured that he must've been from the Monastery near the cemetery. The Okumura's did say that was where they grew up. Ryuji made his way over to Yukio, who was walking around a few yards away from him, in the opposite direction of Rin.

"Hi Ryu-. Hey, where's Rin?" asked the young teacher

"Over there by that gravestone, talkin' to some priest guy" he replied, pointing in Rin's general direction

"Priest guy...?" Yukio looked up from the area he had been searching, over to where Ryuji was pointing. His eyes widened, and he looked Ryuji in the eyes

"Ryuji, I found the demon"

"You did?" he asked, wide eyed "Where?" he looked all around

"Gather the other Exwires, we are going to need them" Yukio said, ignoring Ryuji's question completely

"Where is the demon?" he asked again

"Do you see the man Rin is talking to?" Yukio asked

"Well, yeah. Kinda hard to miss 'em" Ryuji said, annoyed with the fact Yukio was, once again, dodging the question

"He's dead"

Silence...

"... I'll get the others"

"It's my fault?" Rin said.

"If it wasn't for you, I'd still be alive" 'Shiro' relpied calmly

"What do you-" Rin was cut off

"I was able to avoid possession for 15 years, Rin, do you really think I'd just let Satan in? Someone had to say something to break my wall. That someone was you" 'Shiro' said

"What did I-" Rin was cut off again

"'Don't let me ever see you acting like my father again!' That's what you said, wasn't it?" 'Shiro' asked, mockingly

"I-" Rin kept tring to argue, but 'Shiro' wouldn't let him

"Well?" he demanded

"...Yes" Rin admitted "but I didn't-"

"And that's why I was possessed. It's your fault, Rin" said 'Shiro'

"But I-"

"No buts!" Shiro yelled "Oh! It doesn't end there, either" he continued "Don't you remember? I stabbed myself in the heart for you. Or did you forget already?"

"No, I..." Rin stopped talking

"You opened the sword, too." 'Shiro' noted "You aren't even human anymore"

"I thought I could..." Rin didn't feel the need to argue any more.

"It's your fault, Rin. It's your fault" 'Shiro' repeated this phrase over and over "Yukio said so too, remember? Even he blames you. All of us do" he said "Because it's. Your. Fault." he punctuated the words, to rub it in to the demon boy. Rin didn't even feel the need to argue anymore as the demon's words really set in. Shiro was right. It really was his fault. Rin fell to his knees in despair, tears in his eyes. His head fell into his hands. It was his fault. It was all his fault...

The demon smiled, well, demonically, looming over the raven-haired boy.

Yay, cliffhanger-ish ending! I'm really happy today... Well, I said I'd put something up today, didn't I? And I did, so that's good. I'm supposed to be doing math homework right now... but this is more important!

So yea, I should have another chapter up tomorrow too, so that'll be good.

Read and Review? Please?
