Guess who's back?
I am so so so sorry for everything!
So here is a new chapter and I promise I will update anew chapter every 2 weeks.
So, on with the story we go

I do not own Blue Exorcist.

Heaven Hears No Angel

Chapter 8

Gabriela p.o.v.

"Rin! Wake up!" I yell. Nope, he's out dead.
This is one of the rare nights in which he doesn't fall asleep in my room, so I had to go down and wake him up. But he's so cute when he sleeps, wish I could just snuggle with him!
Ukobach and Hooka both look at me questionably. Well, my crush will have to wait for a while.
"RIN WAKE UP!" "BUWAH!" He yells as I jump on him.
"What are you doing? Are you crazy!?" "I might be!" I laugh, still sitting on him.
"Anyway, I have awesome news!" "What news?" "You have a mission as an esquire! And I'm coming with you! You will love it!"
"That's great! But eh… Gabriela?" "Yes?"
"Could you get off me?"

Rin p.o.v.

"Summer! Sea! Swimsuits! Girls!" Shima yells "Yeah!" I join him
"Let's swim Okumura!" He yells and runs forward. I silently watch him, Gabriela standing next to me, miss Eyebrows silently standing behind us.
"I told you you would love it." She smiles at me.
"Izumo! Gabriela! Quick, get changed! Put on your bikinis!" He yells at them.
"I love the sea!" he proclaims again.
"Ummmm, Rin?" "Yea?" I look down at Gabriela. "I can't go swimming with you guys." "Why?" I remember her wing tattoo. "Oh! But your tattoo is cool!"
"I just can't, I'm sorry… It's better if they don't know for now." She looks to the floor. "Okay, then I won't either."
"What?" I look forward and ignore her question. I feel myself blush. "I won't swim unless it's with you."

"Why…" Shima mutters to himself "Why do I have to help you with this crappy squid fry thing when there's all these hotties all around?"
"Come come, have some! This fried squid is so good, you'd sell your soul for a single bite!" I cheered holding two squids on a stick in my hands
"You seem to enjoy yourself Okumura." "Uh? Well, I don't mind doing this."
I said and turned towards the beach "But…There's not a single customer!"
"It's weird, the squid is really good." Gabriela says standing behind me.
"It smells nyammy too… Just a little… Rin?" Blacky begged me "You can't, It's for sale." I try to persuade him.
"Don't be like that, Rin. Here." Gabriela walks forward and stuffs money in my back pocket, then takes one of the squids from my hands and gives it to Blacky. He happily takes it and jumps to the floor and eats it.
"Ah, is that your new familiar cat sith?" Shima said standing up "They said this is a mission, so I brought him along…"
"But how's this a mission? Though this is still better than looking for seaweed for anti-demon drugs. This shop and the inn that we're staying at are both run by the family of the whiskers guy's wife." He ranted as he plopped back to the ground "I'm starting to think that Bon and Koneko were lucky to get away with looking for ghost stones at the Tama river."
He got out of his gloom just to look at some girls in bikinis. "Guess we need a cute sales girl to attract customers." He says then smirks "Hey Gabi…."
"Not a chance." She says and splashes water from her bottle on him. "What was that for!?" "Why don't you ask Izumo to work as a cute salesgirl?" "She sucks at teamwork!" I watched them fight when Izumo stepped behind us.
"Sorry about that." She said to Shima. He seemed to stare at her then jumped up. "You look cute in your bikini today, too!" he said while scratching his head. Gabriela and I just looked at each other and grinned.
"What are you saying, I helped with the squid fry already, didn't I? Or do you think that being a salesgirl suits me better?" "That's right, you did… I swam enough already, so you just have your fun!"
She just waved at us and continued to walk.
"Actually, I think you didn't swim enough, Shima." Gabriela says while pushing him away towards the sea. "I think you should join Izumo." "But we said to take turns." "I can help. Or do you really wanna let this opportunity slide?"
She winked at him and he ran, finally understanding her message.
"He's hopeless…" She says while standing next to me.
"Ah, thank you for your hard work! How's the business? I'm so happy to have students like you." The whiskers professor said
"Not really all are students." Gabriela giggled at him. Her mood seems extra hyper today. I'm glad.

Sometime later we heard some screaming from Izumo so Gabi and I rushed to the beach to see what was going on.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked, Gabi standing next to me. "Izumo's leg cramped so the kid saved her. But he's so short, I didn't notice him at all." Shima explained.
"Shut up! My dad said that a guy can be small if he's big down there!" Say what kid!? "Cut it out!" Izumo yelled at him.
"What? What's so wrong with having a big heart?" And Gabriela burst out laughing.
Suddenly we heard people yelling and the kid ran in that direction. We ran to the lighthouse only to see… "What's this?" The water was black.
"What's going on?" "A demon." Some old man said. "When the sea turns black, a demon the size of a hill will appear and destroy the village."
Is this old man serious? "It's been known in this parts for a long time. Gods help us."
I felt Gabriela pull my hand. "Come on, I have to show you guys something."

"What's that?" She brought us to some old, withered temple with some strange painting on it. "Um, the priest of this temple drew this a long time ago. Like some 400 years ago." Gabi explained
"A squid monster?" Shima asked her. "Well, the black stain in the sea is said to be the squid's ink." "But it's just a legend…" Izumo interrupted her.
"Actually, about six months ago the sea turned black, and some man went to the sea to face the demon. He never returned." She said, her eyes looking like she's lost in thought.

"Just our luck to run into demons even here." Shima said while we were walking back to our apartment. "Wouldn't it be great if defeating that thing was our first mission?"
I suddenly bumped into something
"Pay attention!" I look down to see the kid from earlier. Yohei was his name. "Oh, it's just you." "Where'd you run off earlier? We were worried about you." I asked him.
"Nowhere." He said while turning his back to me.
"Nowhere? Anyway, you're really a boulderhead." I said while feeling my chest where I bumped into the kid. "For real…" Izumo said, holding her forehead.
"Does it still hurt?" The kid asked her. "Of course!" "Sorry…" the kid whispered.
"You saw us coming, didn't you? Would it hurt you to stand aside?
"I don't want to! My dad said a man should always walk straight!" "That's just a figure of speech. Wouldn't you get lost if you always walked straight?" Shima asked "Nah, you wouldn't." I told him.
"Do you guys know where the pet shop is?" "huh?" "The pet shop! The directions are written down on this!" He said while showing us a piece of paper.
We looked at the drawing. "So? Can you show me?"

We were walking out of the shop when Izumo spoke "Why do we have to show the way to a local?" "Don't you always shop there?" I asked.
"Yeah, but my dog can't stand the heat." "Your dog?" "Don't tell me it's usually your dog that's leading the way." Izumo stated "Got a problem with that?" "You really have no sense for direction."
"I don't wanna brag, but my dad was even worse!" "How's that bragging?" Gabriela asked trough giggles. "He totally had no sense for direction at all!"
"You're always going on about your dad." Izumo said. "He was a great dad."
"Was?" Shima asked. I looked at Gabriela who just shook her head at me as to tell me not to ask anything. I guess she already read his past.
"He sailed out about six months ago, and he hasn't come back yet. He's still chasing it…"
"It? You mean…" "The demon of the sea! It caught my dad! So I'm gonna defeat it for sure!" He gives us a determined look and then ran away.
We started walking back to our home when Gabriela and I slowed down so we can talk.
"Do you think it's safe for him to have such a dream?" "Well, to tell you the truth, I don't really know if the sea monster is evil."
"For real?" "Well, As far as I know the accidents that happened here all have natural causes. Who knows what happened six months ago."

"Thank you for your hard work today!"
"Raw squid, squid ramen, squid soup… Fermented squid pasta with squid ink? It's all just squid!" Izumo complained looking at the food served before us. It really is all just squid…
"Come on, dig in!" He says and we all stare at the food before us. Well, all accept Gabriela. She's digging in like crazy! I forgot that girl can eat anything!
"Ummmm… Why is it all squid stuff?" I ask. "It may sound fishy… But lately the fishers have only caught squid!"
"I don't care, it's really good!" Gabriela says with her mouth full.
"There has been so much squid lately that we're thinking about invading other markets with it, too!" He says with a w ink and a finger raised. Oh man, that's so disgusting! "So that's why the fried squid hasn't been selling…"
After we were done with eating the professor pulled out a book and started telling us about the sea monster/demon.
"A kraken?"
"Well it's a demon of the sea that spills out ink. According to historical records from Norway, there have been cases where the whole sea turned black from the krakens ink."
"So there's only squid in the sea because of this thing? And if it's a kraken, how can we defeat it?" Shima asked.
"Defeat it? If it was made by the Norway people it must be hardcore! Did you hear their music?" Gabriela joked, still eating. I have no idea where all that food goes.
"Do you know how to defeat it?" I ask her. "Ummmm… The fatal verse for sea demons is Ephesians 1:18." She says completely uninterested.
"But we have limited recourses here, and it's definitely not something you three children can handle alone." The professor tells us, looking at no one in particular, but I know what he meant. Us three esquires can maybe do little damage. Gabriela on the other hand could maybe even destroy it.
Gabriela and the professor lock eyes and she gets up. "I'm going for a walk." She says and leaves without turning.
Right after that the professors cell rings and he leaves the room with a blush on his face.
Shima and I look after him. "Something came up, so I have to leave you for a little while. Tomorrow we'll have real part-timers in the shop so you can rest." He says waving his hand at us.
"Real part-timers? So we were just fill-inn?" Izumo asks annoyed. "He said that ''kitty'' thing again, didn't he?" I ask, really confused… And a little mentally scarred.
"So tomorrow we can rest? Okumura, that means we can go swimming!" Shima proclaims happily. I was just about to agree when I remembered Gabi… I don't want her to be sitting alone on the sidelines watching us have fun.
"Actually, I-" I start when the professor cuts in "I forgot to say that tomorrow you will have to look after Yohei so that he won't go after the demon."
Whoo, saved by the professor whiskers!

I felt something poke my nose and wake me up in the middle of the night. I get up only to see Gabi in a small black dress holding her finger to her lips to tell me to be quiet.
I get up and follow her out, all the while she had a mischievous grin on her face.
"Come on, Rin, hurry up!" She says cheerfully. I just notice that she's barefoot. The bandages are still on her arms, but the dress was showing a little of her wing tattoo.
"Where are we going?" "To the beach, hurry up silly!" She says and grabs my hand, pulling me after her running down the road.
"Why are we here?" I ask her as we get to the beach. It's too late, and the beach is completely empty.
"I really wanted to swim with you, so I thought, why not when it's late at night and when we are alone? No one can see my wings or your tail!" She says letting go of my hand and then taking off her dress.
I have to take all my strength not to let my jaw drop. That black bikini looks perfect on her! And she always did have bigger boobs than any of the girls from my class, and now I can see-
"Rin, stop staring, let's go! Off with your shirt!" She says, grabbing the bottom of my shirt and pulling it over my head. I can feel myself blush like crazy.
She looks into my eyes and for a moment I swear she wanted to kiss me. That's what her look told me.
She suddenly runs into the water. "Let's go, let's go! I haven't been swimming in forever!"
I keep staring. "Riiiiiiiiiiiin! Come on!"
And that was it, I run into the water next to her and get greeted by a splash of cold water. Gabriela giggles at me. Oh, this means war!
We get into a splashing fight until we are so wet that we decide to have a swimming race. That I won. Just saying.
"Hey Rin, look at that." She dives down and I follow her. She shows me all the fish in the sea, that isn't really fish, just squid. But I can't look at that. I keep looking at her, and her long curly hair when I suddenly notice something.
"You have a blond strand?" I ask her as we get out of water.
She throws herself on the sand "Oh, where?" I reach trough her hair and shuffle through it. It's really soft. "Here." I show her a small part of hair that is really light yellow.
"Oh, I guess I missed that part." "You color your hair?" "Ummmm, yeah… I…" She seems lost in thought when she suddenly smiles.
"Man, Rin! You and I are like total bodily opposites!" "What?" I sweat drop.
"Well first of all, you are the son of Satan, I am the daughter of an angel. Then your eyes are pretty blue, mine are black. Your hair is black, mine is actually blond. It's so funny!" She says giggling
"Yeah, I guess we are…" Silence surrounds us. I look at her as she lies on the sand and stares up at the stars.
"Hey, I got an idea!" She says as she grabs my hand.
She runs really fast and suddenly I hear a tearing sound and we are flying in the air, her dirty gray wings spreading wide.
"What are you doing?" I ask her as she grabs my other hand
We lower ourselves all the way down so my feet are gliding on the water.
It feels good.
We laugh out loud as she continues flying around the sea like that. It's really fun. Suddenly she flies up and lets go of me. I land into the water with a loud AAAARH! This woman is crazy! Does she want me to drown?
I feel her hands grab me and I'm out of the water flying again
"Do you want to kill me!?" "Hahaha, maybe." She answers while sticking her tongue out at me
When I touch ground again, she loses her footing and falls on me and we drop on the sand.
"Wow that was a crash landing!" She says trough laughter
I suddenly notice she is laying on top of me. She's really warm… Her wings are covering us but they are so big, she can barely hold herself up because of their weight.
She looks down and I see that same look in her eyes. The look that says that she wants to kiss me
"Uhm, we should go back home." She says getting up, and I swear I would faint from all the blood in my head!

Gabriela p.o.v.

I wake up in the morning and I still feel like I'm on cloud nine. I wanted to kiss him so bad… I really am in love with him, aren't I?
I look out the window and see it again. The back ink is in the sea. I gotta go wake up Rin!
"Rin, wake up..." I call at him as Blacky pokes his face.
"Huh?" He looks at us.

We stand on a lookout and stare at the black sea. Honestly I think it looks like a black poop stain.
"You know, that kid must have seen it too." Rin says. "I have nothing against it so long as he doesn't do anything stupid."
"I'll go check on him!" Izumo yells and runs "Izumo?" "What? After all he saved me once… Besides, I hate people who don't know their limits."
And she runs off. "Well isn't that cute of her."

I sit with Rin on our window pane as he types on his cell. Shima is reading some magazine. Really a lazy day.
"She says that we don't have to take over for her." Rin informs us.
"It's unusual for Izumo to care about someone so much." Shima comments.
"Leave the woman lady to do that she wants to." I say
I look at my blond strand of hair. How did I miss that when I last colored it? I've been coloring my hair black for years now…

It's dusk now. I play with Blacky and Izumo is still not back. I actually like this day. No events, just easy. It is a little out of my style, but at least there is no insanity today. Maybe it's because I'm with Rin…
Suddenly I feel something.
"You guys maybe wanna look out of the window." I told the boys. Really I was unfazed. Not like that monster is dangerous.
They run to the window "There it is!" I get up and look with them at the creature I knew was there.

Suddenly the boys run out of the house and to the beach. I run after them, a little annoyed.
They stop as they reach the port. "So that's…" "It's the demon, and it's spitting ink!"
"Whatever, just say your mantra!" Rin yells at Shima. "It's not a mantra, it's a hymn! Wait, you want to fight it?!" Shima asks him, stuttering. I giggle at that.
"If we don't it might attack the town!" Oh man, I gotta stop them
"Rin, wai-" He ignores me and runs off.
"I have to stop it before that kid does something stupid!"
One of the squids giant fins flies towards us and I grab Shima and jump out of the way.
"Wow, you can jump!" He tells me "Now's not the time for flirting. And get faster reflexes man!" I yell at him.
Suddenly Blacky flies out and kicks the squid away from us. Rin calls for him to continue to attack him and Blacky bites the squid.
"No, don't!" I yell "What the hell, Gabriela?" "Rin, don't you know that cats…" Blacky falls down "Cats get sick when they eat raw squid!"
Rin goes and picks Blacky up. He hands him to me. "Watch over him, Gabi." "No, Rin, don't attack him!"
He doesn't hear me. Why isn't no one listening to me today?!
Suddenly Izumo runs past me yelling after Yohei. What is it with these guys!
Shima starts chanting then turns to me "Why isn't it working!?" "Did you really think that squids have ears?" "Uh, no…"
A harpoon flies out of nowhere and directly hits the giant squid. I look around and see a small boat with Yohei in it.
"RIN! There's Yohei!" I call to Rin who runs to get to the kid before something bad happens.
I watch as Rin gets into the water and swims all the way to Yohei's small boat. He jumps into the boat and I can see them arguing.
"Shima, take Blacky!" I give Shima the small cat. "You guys stay here!"
I run to the beach and get into the water. Another harpoon flies and hits the squid.
I notice Yohei is in the water and I dive down. I see underwater the squid hit Yohei and I speed up my swimming.
I grab the unconscious kid and dive out taking a deep, well needed breath! Damn you water, I can drown! Rin gets to us in Yohei's little boat and I give him the kid.
"Damn, at this rate I will have too…" "No, you won't. Calm down Rin." "But the squid's-" "Not evil."
"Huh, what do you mean?" "Can you first help me get into the boat?" He just now notices that I'm still dangling in the water holding on to the boat like Jack in the Titanic. When I get into the boat I point my finger behind us to the sunset.
"Look."
We hear someone calling us. No, calling Yohei. I saw his aura when the squid first appeared, so I knew that something was fishy about the situation. No pun intendance.
"What the?" "HUH? Dad!" Yohei wakes up and yells to his dad, who is floating on a makeshift boat.
"That's my dad!" He yells and jumps out of the boat and swims to his father. Well, isn't that cute? I feel a smile creeping on my lips. Oh well..

"You all worked hard." Kaoru, also known as Whiskers or sideburns as I like to call him, compliments us as we wave good bye to the sea squid.
"Whiske—Mr. Tsubaki, where did you go?" Rin asks him.
"I was looking up stuff because we would have to take special measures if it really was a kraken, however Lady Gabriela informed me that there is no danger." I did send him a message when the water got black again.
"I got lost and didn't know which way home was, so for six months I lived on uninhibited islands or drifted on my raft." We listed to the dad explain to Yohei.
"I was looking for Japan with him, but he has worse direction than I do!" The father brags. Or is it really bragging?
"Dad, wasn't that the enemy?" "Yohei, you have to open your heart! I understood it when I was fighting him. His heart is just as soft as his body!" I just had to laugh at that. Rin looks at me and smiles.
"He's changed a lot for the better." "But if a man once decided to defeat…" "Enough! Yohei, you should always keep your heart as clear as raw squid." Man, he's right, but he still cracks me up!
"It takes a man's courage to change your decision. Men are like that." "Really?" I lough as the others keep gawking at the display before us.
They hug and I hear Rin sniff. "What a great ending…" Oh man, Rin….
"Demons can have a change of heart." I say. "Take my Hooka for example. I wanted all of you to come here to learn that."
"Wait, you arranged for us to go on this mission?" Rin asks me.
"Yes." I say as I pull my tounge at him.
"Just who are you?" Shima asks me. "That'sa secret." I say as I wink at him
"You're kidding…" Shima says. Izumo just falls to the floor "This sucks!"

We're sitting in the bus, Rin and I, and Shima and Izumo behind us. I stare out the window, just relaxing…
"So, we're like an opposite mirror…" I hear Rin whisper to me. "Yeah, I guess you could say that." He smiles at me "I think that's really cool."
"Yeah… Me too…"

And there it is! Finally! I'm so sorry it took so long!
But here it is!
And thank you all for the reviews! I never thought I would get so many!
THAK YOU ALL SO MUCH AND PLEASE HAVE A NICE DAY!
