I do not own Blue Exorcist.
Heaven Hears No Angel
Chapter 6
Gabriela p.o.v.
Sabor is coming closer. He is haunting me, taunting me. I can see his shadows. His long black hair in a ponytail, his strong shoulders, the shade of his duster coat, his tall and strong figure coming closer… I don't want this! His hands are coming closer to me… Wrapping around my neck… His red eyes lock with mine, his insane smile creeping in my veins… I feel his grip tighten. Around my neck.
"Well, my little vixen… I told you to join me. You don't have much time left." He says in his taunting but very attractive voice.
"Never." I muster out.
"my my vixen…" His hands tighten
"No…"
"Vixen…" "No…" "Vix…ela" "No." "V… iela…" "No!"
"Gabriela!" "NO!" I jump up and look directly into blue eyes. Calm blue… not red.
It was just a bad dream…
"What was that?" Rin asks me "Just a bad dream…"
this is one of the best wake ups in my life. Rin's eyes are nothing like Sabor's. His are a calm and good blue. Sabor's are an insane and evil red.
"by the way, why are you in my room?"
"ugh, well, I... We fell asleep watching movies, remember?" He say, a blush on his face.
"Oh, yeah, I remember! Hahaha, but no reason to blush over that!"
"What, who's blushing!?" "You." "No!" "Yes!" I say as I poke his nose with my finger.
Hooka makes some noise as to tell us to go back to sleep. I look at rin, laugh and lie back down on the floor, Rin next to me.
We are doing this often actually. I wonder how Yukio doesn't come down and reprimand me or something. But, I don't mind. Rin… He keeps me calm while I'm walking on glass shards.
"Rin, wake up!" I yell at him, but he still snores like crazy. This boy, seriously. It's 6 am, they have to wake up now. Hooka stands next to me and looks at him, then me. Oh, I have an idea!
I go to my bathroom and get a big glass full of water. Hooka stands in front of Rin, I stand above his head.
I give Hooka the signal and at the same time he yells and I pour water on Rin's face.
"WAAAH! What the!" I fall to the floor laughing.
"What? What's going on?! Why am I all wet?" Rin asks, clueless and confused.
"You wouldn't wake up, so I had to take some extreme measures!" I say trough laughter.
"Oh, really?" he says with a twitch on his face. I stand up. I feel something bad is gonna happen. I slowly back away to my door, away from Rin.
"You're gonna pay for this! Get back here!" he yells as I run away and down the stairs, laughing.
After our long ass run, he caught me, tickled me, I gave up, and now we are lazily brushing our teeth. That was a fun morning.
"Good morning." We hear Izumo call.
"Ah, mornin'." Rin says with his mouth full. I just wave at her.
We spit out at the same time and wash our mouths. I hear Izumo step close to Rin.
"Get it?" she tells Rin. He turns to look at her.
"Don't tell anyone that I cried yesterday." "Me? Who would I tell?"
"Me, maybe?" I cut in.
"Just promise me you won't tell anyone!" She yells at us with an embarrassing blush on her face.
"Oh shut up, I said I'm not telling anyone." Rin tells her then turns towards me. He's about to say something when Izumo cuts in.
"Here." He turns and I see Izumo holding out his shirt. "Thanks." She mumbles.
Rin Takes his shirt and Izumo turns away from him.
"If you hadn't been there, who knows what would have happened to Paku and I… I'm grateful for that." Oh really? How about you thank me too? De nada.
"Wow, you washed it!" Rin proclaims surprised and happy.
"Huh?" Izumo looks at him. "You're a nice person after all! I misjudged you!"
"Misjudged? I washed it because it was dirty!" Izumo replies to him and I giggle to that.
"Huh? Seriously? Was it that dirty?" I laugh some more. Poor Rin.
"Good morning." Oh great… Yukio's annoying voice this early in the morning.
Rin p.o.v.
"I two or three days the fever will go down and you can get up again." Yukio explains to Paku as he gives her a shot of medicine. He moves over to Gabriela, who is sitting on a chair. He pulls out another shot and injects it into Gabriela's arm. Oh yeah, she told me that her wounds don't heal like mine.
"You shouldn't be standing up so much." He tells her. She coldly looks away.
"Yeah, whatever." She replies to him.
He stands up. "You two should get some rest." "Thank you Mr. Okumura." Paku calls to him. "Get well." I say to Paku as I exit the room with Yukio and Gabriela.
"That demon yesterday, that was a ghoul, right?" I ask Yukio who looks at me surprised.
"Yes, how did you know" "Well from-"I look at Gabriela whose head shakes. "I just learned." I say and cross my arms.
"we're investigating how it got in and where it went right now." Yukio tells me. "Gabriela, it would be wise to keep Hooka with you at all time so he can protect you." Wait, Gabriela is more than capable of protecting herself. I've seen it! Why is Yukio asking her to have someone to protect her?
I look to Gabriela who ignores Yukio and walks on.
Yukio sighs and calls to her "It was a higher level Naberius! It could kill you in mere minutes!"
Gabriela turns to him, pulls out her tongue, shows him the finger, turns around and runs away.
"Didn't you say the academy is protected by barriers and charms?" I ask him. "That's right. I'm really impressed by your knowledge Rin." "Are you making fun of me again?" "It's true the academy is protected, but every now and then such beasts can sneak in. We have to brace ourselves just in case."
Sounds like he's really worried. This situation may be a little more serious than I thought.
I lay up on the roof of the dormitory. May this is some bad situation. Doesn't Yukio know that Gabriela is strong? She can kick ass with that bad ass of a sword she has. I mean, she really is cool. So why the constant protection?
Then that ghoul… He said that his attack is an order of a certain person… A certain person? Who could it be? At first I thought it was Satan, but I can't think of any reason why he's try to get he killed now. I remember Father Fujimoto said that there will be who'll come to hunt me down. Damn it, if they're targeting me, why do they not attack me head on!?
"Why the serious face, Rin?"
"Huh!" BOOM!
"Au au au!" My head hurts, I look to the side to see Gabriela laying on the floor in pain, holding her forehead. How did our heads crash?
"Don't just pop up like that!" "Me? Don't you just stand up like that! Idiot!"
"Say what? What are you doing up here anyway?" "I was looking for you, I was bored." "Why didn't you go to see the others?" "Well, I…"
"Rin! Gabriela!" I hear a sweet voice call us. I look and see Shiemi holding a basket full of white sheets. I wave at her and feel a small blush on my face. She's so cute!
"Woah!" I try to hold the sheets so the wind doesn't take them away.
"It's okay, I can do it alone." I fix the sheet a little more and the wind stops.
"But why are you doing laundry anyway?" I ask her. "Because I want to be of some use, too... With stuff only I can do." She answers me with a strong blush on her face. So cute!
"Too?" "You all work so hard to become exorcists and help people, right?" "I see, so you don't want to become and exorcist?"
"I don't know." She answers me sadly. "But firs let me do my specialty, laundry." She says as the wind starts to blow again.
"WOAH!" I look back and see a sheet fly off and fall on Gabriela, covering her face. I laugh at her.
"Most of ze demonz 'ave a so called le "fatal verse", words or quotes zat will make zem le die instantly. Aria specializez in le memorization and le recital of zose fatal verses. Zen let's 'ear you recitez what I gave youze for 'omework. Kamiki!" The fat French teacher calls out during class.
Izumo strangely doesn't react. "Kamiki! What's wrong with you?"
"I'm sorry, um…?
"Ze "Te Deum". Continuez from where we were le last time."
Izumo nods and slowly starts reciting "Every day we thank thee. And we praise… We praise…" She seems to lose thought. Or wait… Don't tell me she doesn't know!
"I… forgot…" NO WAY!
"Oh, now zat is unusual for you, Mademoiselle Kamiki." Izumo stress to the floor as the teacher turns to the other side of the class room. "Zen Suguro, 'elp 'er out." "Yes." He says proudly as he stands up. Of course he knows the whole answer, and I couldn't remember that for shit!
"Zat was le perfect!" The teaches says and we all start clapping our hands. That was amazing.
As the bell rang, Gabriela entered the classroom. "That was amazing Bon!" She pronounces with her hand raised. I see she is not on duty today since she is wearing some jeans and a hoodie.
"Be careful not to fall for me now.." No, she's not! "Wow, you're really smart after all!" I pronounce. "After all?!" "More than being smart, Bon's just good at memorizing." Konekomaru says to Gabriela. She walks to them. "Oh?" "Konekomaru, that means I'm smart, right?" "Y-Yeah!" Konekomaru says with a sweat drop on his face.
"So, your name's Konekomaru? My name's Gabriela, nice to meet you." She says with a smile and they shake hands. Wait, I thought that she knew everyone here? Or… No wait. She told me that she can see their past. But personally she doesn't know anyone.
"Memorizing isn't that great of a skill." Izumo mumbles.
"huh? Did you say something?" bon asks her, taunting her. Konekomaru tries to calm him, but he continues. "I don't want to hear that from someone who can't remember four lines." Gabriela's face goes OUCH! She seems to enjoy this fight.
"It's not that I can't, I just chose not to remember." "Liar, liar, pants on fire." Gabriela sings as she gets to my desk and sits on it. All she's doing now is add fuel to the fire.
"NO! Aria are totally defenseless while chanting, so they need to be protected by the team! They're just luggage." She says with an evil smile on her face. "What!? We're aiming for Aria, you know!"
Gabriela raises her hand to make Bon stop talking. The room gets silent as Gabriela walks slowly towards Izumo. What is she doing? First she adds to the fire, and now she's gonna stop it?
"So scary! If you want to hit me, go on." Izumo steps out in front of Gabriela.
"You know, I don't like it when someone laughs at other people's dreams." Gabriela says with a dark tone.
"What? You defending him? The one who's gonna defeat Satan? Are you telling me not to laugh at such a joke?" Hey, hold on a sec!
Gabriela calmly crosses her arms over her chest. "Then tell me about you. Why do you want to become an exorcist?"
"Why…."She stares to the floor. "I've never told anyone why. Unlike show-offs like them!"
Gabriela's face goes dark. She steps closer to her and grabs her chin gently.
"I wouldn't be talking about becoming any kind of exorcist if I we're you. After all, how could you become an exorcist, if you can't even protect your only friend."
This seems to set Izumo off. Gabriela let's her go and turns to me, Izumo tries to slap her, but as Gabriela moves away, Izumo's slap hit's me.
"Ouch! If you want to fight, do it somewhere else!"
"That's enough!" Yukio enters the class, his eyebrow twitching. "How about you behave yourselves?"
"What's with this stone? It's getting heavier!" I yell! "It's a low level demon, too…" Konekomaru adds "It gets heavier… while you hold it…"
We're sitting in the small living room in our dorm, with demon stones on our lap. Bon looks at me.
"You don't even know about Ghost Stones? Pathetic!" "Shut up! It's because you we're picking fights!"
"It's called collective responsibility." Yukio says, gaining everyone's attention.
"If it is, then why isn't she getting a stone too?!" Izumo yells. It's true, Gabriela does not have a stone on her lap. She is just standing next to Yukio, looking at us with sad eyes. "Gabriela will get punished too. However, she is not a part off your class, so she is not joining you." Gabriela just sighs.
"There's another purpose to this camp besides studying, and that's strengthening your bonds with each other."
"I Don't want to have any bonds with these people!" Izumo yells.
"You have to get along with each other!" Yukio yells at us. "An exorcist cannot fight alone. Support each other's abilities, and cover each other's weaknesses. Everyone fight's in teams of at least two! In actual battles, a quarrel in a team can lead to death!" He exhales and looks at Gabriela, who looks at him with sad eyes. "Think about that." Yukio adds.
"Now, I will be gone on a mission for three hours. Due to the incident with the ghoul yesterday, I'll lock every entrance to the dormitory and put up strong barriers around it."
"Lock the entrance? Then how can we get out?" Bon asks.
"There's no need for you to go out. In the three hours that I will be gone, you will get on well and cool your heads."
And just like that, he leaves with Gabriela.
"Three hours… He's the demon here…" Shima mutters. "I can't take it anymore! Are you two really related?" Bon asks me "He's really a nice guy… Somewhere deep within."
Gabriela p.o.v.
"Let go of my arm!" I yell at Yukio as I yank my arm away from his grip.
"Why we're you in the classroom today?" "I was just testing out your eyes and ears. You suck."
His expression remained cold towards me. "I went there because I needed some fresh air." I finnaly say. "So you went out just like that. And didn't occur to you that you may be breaking some rules. Or that you may be in danger." "Well yes, that sums it up pretty well." I say as I cross my arms over my chest. "Gabriela, you will never change." He says shaking his head. "I have changed."
"I don't believe that." He states coldly. "And I certainly don't see that. Weren't you in a classroom this morning picking fights and poking your nose where it doesn't belong?" "That's- AH!"
Yukio grabs my arm again, then pushes me into one of the rooms, closes the door and locks it. "Yukio! What are you doing!?"
"This is your penalty for breaking the rules." He simply states and I slam against the door. "Let me out Yukio! This is breaking human rights!"
"No matter how much you dislike like me, you will have to trust me. This is for your own good."
"You're wrong, I don't dislike you. I despise you!"
"You don't despise me."
"Hate you!"
There was some silence from the other side of the door.
I could hear footsteps going away. "You don't have time left to hate anyone…"
"Yukio! Open the door! OPEN IT!"
I slowly listened. No. He left. He really did lock me into a room and left.
Rin p.o.v.
"We're in this nice situation because of a certain someone." Bon says, picking a fight again.
"Says you! It was that girls fault!" Izumo replies.
"And who started the fight in the first place!?" Bon yells at her.
"Don't fight with me in the middle!" I yell at them. I can seriously stand any more of this drama!
"You really are an annoying woman!" Bon says. "Tell me something new. So what?" "You'll just scare everyone away like that!"
Suddenly the lights go off. "What?" OWWWWWWW! "The stone fell on my foot!"
"What's going on? Did he turn the lights off too?" Bon asks. "That can't be it!" Konekomaru yells.
God my foot hurts!
"Then is it a blackout?" "No, look, there are lights outside. Is this building the only one without power?"
"Let's go out." Shima says as he stands up. "Shima be careful." Konekomaru calls after him. "Hah, events like these always make me excited." He slowly goes to open the door. "A little test of courage." He looks through the door, then closes it. "Hah, guess I haven't slept enough." He says nervously.
"I just…" Just then a hand gout tough the door, and Shima ran to us and hides behind me. I grip the sheathe of my sword ready for whatever may come through that door.
The creature stepped into the room. "That's…" We quickly stand up. "It's the ghoul from yesterday!" Izumo yells. "Didn't he put up the barriers!?" Konekomaru makes a good point… Didn't Yukio say that he will put up strong barriers?
Suddenly some strange slime gets off of its other head and falls on us. "What is that!?" "It's miasma!"
"Nii! Can you give me eely-billy?" I hear Shiemi say to her familiar.
In a flash, Shiemi's little familiar created a whole forest of strong and thick branches that came out of his belly! One of the branches pierces right through the ghouls chest.
"Whoa…" "Amazing!" Shiemi looks to her little familiar. "Thank you Nii!"
"You saved us Shiemi." I say as I look through the branches. Oh shit! I spoke too soon. I stare in shock as I see the ghoul rip itself into two. So now there are two huge demons going to attack us! "Man, that thing is lively for a corpse." I say as I watch them slowly rip through the thick branches.
"The ghouls get really active in the dark." Bon says. Well, that info's not helping us now.
Shiemi starts coughing and falls to the floor. "Shiemi, what's wrong?" "I feel dizzy…" And just like that, they all start to cough. I don't get it. "What? It's so hot suddenly." Bon says trough short breaths. I don't feel anything, what's wrong with them? "What is it with you guys?" "It's the ghoul's miasma." Izumo answers me. "Doesn't it bother you?" No, it doesn't… Maybe it because… I'm half demon! I get out my cellphone and try to call Yukio.
"If Shiemi's strength runs out, the barricade will be gone." Bon says worriedly. Then we'll be done for! And Yukio's not answering his cell! Great, that leaves me with one option.
I walk toward the branches and start passing through them. "What are you doing?!" Bon yells after me. "I'll go and lure it away. If it follows me, you guys run away." "Huh? What are you talking about?" "Don't worry about me, I'm stronger than I look." I say as I get through some of the branches.
I hear them calling me to come back, but I don't care. I have to get that thing away from them it wants me anyway. It notices me. "You're after me, aren't you? Come!"
I run, the ghoul strict at my tail! Good!
"Nice! Follow me!"
The lights… If I turn on the lights the ghoul should get weaker…
Gabriela p.o.v.
Oh I still can't believe this! How could he?! I'm gonna beat the hell out of him when I see him again! Huh…?
I hear running. And that noise… Those breaths... That's Rin! But what's following him? I lean closer to the door. Oh my God! That's a ghoul!
"Rin! Can you hear me! Use your fire!" It's no use, they are already gone! What do I do! Think Gabriela, think. I'm locked up in here, what could I possibly do?!
I look through the windows. I'm useless… Wait! Windows!
I pick up a chair and smash it right through the big window. I slowly step on the edge and take off my hoodie. Well, half of my shirt is gonna get lost by this, but it… Wait, why the hell am I thinking about my shirt right now?
I jump out of the window and het my wings out. The tearing of my top hurt a little, but I don't care. I have to get to Rin!
I fly from window to window and look for him. There! Why is it so dark in the whole dorm? Did the light go out? I was so mad I didn't turn on the light in the room I was locked in.
I follow Rin all the way down to the small windows of the basement. I get there just to see the demon grab him and throw him to the other side of the room. NO! I break through the glass, my wings cutting on the glass. I cringe in the pain. No, I'm not gonna think about that! I fly and stand in front of Rin and spread my wings to protect him. The demon looks at me and doesn't attack. "Rin, are you okay?" "I'm fine." He slowly gets up. "Listen Rin… Because of the wounds on my legs and the medicine I've been getting, I can't fight." "What?" "Yukio was right, I am too weak to fight now. But you are strong, you can do this." "Are you okay?"
Just then that demon went to attack me, but Rin stud in front of me and yelled for it to back off. Out of his body come his blue flames and the demon stands back.
"That's it. Those flames are what I wanted to see." I look up and see him. "Those blue flames." "Who are you!?" Rin calls to him. "He's your teacher Igor Neuhaus. You skipped his class with me, but he's the one who teaches about familiars."
"Looks like you can't use your powers in front of others, so I took the liberty to invite you over here, Rin Okumura. I apologize Lady Gabriela, but you should not interrupt now." "What!? What is the meaning of this!?"
"Let's call it a test of strength for the son of Satan!"
"Why do you know? How can you know about that?" Rin asks him. He just grins widely. "Was yesterday's incident your doing too!?" "Indeed."
"You bastard! You hurt Gabriela!" What… Is he that much worried? Rin…
"Show me! Show me that power!"
Rin jumps high in the air. "You won't get away with this!" And just like that stabs the ghouls head. The ghoul engulfs in blue flames. Beautiful blue flames. Rin's flames.
I get up and pull my wings back into my skin and they turn into a giant tattoo on my skin. "Where did he go?" I get to him and place my hand on his shoulder. "I don't know. But you did great." "Are you okay?" "Why do you ask?" "You are pale. And your wings were bloody. You hurt yourself." "Oh." I turn my back to him and he sees cuts on my back. Blood slowly lows from those cuts. "It's not so bad, it's just small cuts on glass." "We need to get that treated right away." "but I'm-" "Now." He cut's me off.
The look in his eyes tells me that I can't argue. I smile to him. "Okay."
"Now, let's turn the lights back on." "The building was really without power?" "Yeah, didn't you notice?" "No." I won't tell him about Yukio. Not yet anyway.
We run into the room where everyone was. "huh? Where there two?" I as Rin. "Um, yeah, I guess there were…" I look to the others. Shit, I'm not wearing my hoodie! They could see my back if I'm not careful!
"Umm… Why are they staring at us?" I whisper into Rin's ear. "I have no idea."
"You… The other one…?" Bun mutters to Rin. "I took it out. You defeated yours, too? Amazing…"
And just like that Bon pushed him to the floor. More like tackled him. "What the hell's wrong with you!? Have you a death wish?!" "Wait, do you want to kill me!?"
"What am I seeing?" Oh great. Yukio.
"Say Yukio, where we're you?" I ask him all irritated.
And then in comes him. Igor Neuhaus. The professor who released the ghoul on them.
And there it is. And what a long chapter it is! I hope you enjoy it!
And answer to a guest review who said that the Nephilim remind him/her to a book: I have not read those books. The Nephilim are a research I had to do in school, that's where I got the idea from. However, if that book you mentioned is about Nephilim, then I will definitely read it : )
That's it for now guys :D
