CHAPTER 7

I do not own Blue Exorcist (yeah, no shit) or any character associated with it. Blue Exorcist is property of Kazue Kato.

It has been a while since I've watched Blue Exorcist, so I don't remember all the terms and events, but I'll try my best. Also please ignore my shitty writing, I know it's bad.

Yukio paced around the cram school classroom. He had just been informed that Rin had killed Paku and supposedly was in league with Satan. At first, Yukio denied it, saying that for him to have been working with Satan, Rin would have to have known for quite awhile about his demon heritage. 'But what if he was lying...to me...to Dad...to his own family… it is possible…'

Before Yukio could continue to gather his thoughts, the door opened and Kamiki entered.

"Kamiki-San?"

"Listen Sensei, I know you're all emotional and shit, but you've got to do your job."

Yukio was shocked by his student's language and harsh tone. But he knew she was right. His dad always said that a true exorcist didn't panic in times of despair, they did what was required and they did it perfectly. (Idk, that sound like something Fujimoto would say. But who knows, definitely not me.)

"You're right, Kamiki-San. Now, what did you come for?"

"Actually, I came to apologize…"

"Apologize?"

"Paku saw Rin doing some unspeakable things and informed me about it. I concluded that Rin was a demon. I wanted to take him down, but I was too scared to do so. I sent Paku to confront him. She would've done anything I said… it's my fault she's dead."

Yukio tried not to gasp. She knew and didn't tell him. Sure, he already knew but there was no way in Gehenna that Kamiki knew he was aware of Rin's demon blood. She should have told him what she found out, or at the very least, told him what she was planning. Maybe then they could have saved Paku.

"But if you were go in her place, then you would have died."

"So! She was my friend and I let her die! I LET HER DIE!"

Kamiki had usually been so calm, sure she could accomplish anything she put her mind to. Yukio had never seen her show such emotion. It had been awhile since he had seen someone so passionate.

"No, you didn't. You never did. The reason she did what you told her was because you had been such a good friend to her. Don't ever forget that."

And with that Yukio exited, leaving Kamiki alone in the empty classroom.

*2 months later*

The Vatican had decided it would better not to kill the son of Satan, but to convert him to their cause.

Rin had been tortured for only one month, but to him it felt like years. They had brainwashed him. He was almost a different person. The only thing he had in common with his old self was that they shared the same face and memories.

After a month, the Vatican preceded to teach him how to fight "properly." He was allowed to use his demon powers, but only when necessary.

Finally, after two months of being in the Vatican's "care", Rin had become a model exorcist. He was even better than Yukio. He fought demons without hesitation and killed them mercilessly.

The Vatican eventually decided to send their little experiment on a test drive. Rin had been sent on a mission with Shura. The ultimate test to see if he was ready for the battlefield.

They were sent to a small village. Few people lived there and those who did, feared for their lives. Recently there had been an uprise in animal related attacks.

Rin stood in the center of the village while Shura talked with some villagers.

"I see… so two rights and a left. Thanks."

Shura motioned to Rin. "Let's go"

Shura led Rin down the path that the villager had told her was the right way.

"I'm bored," said Rin.

"Me too, but we gotta do our jobs."

The rest of the walk was silent; neither wanting to say anything. Rin had only known Shura for a little while and didn't quite feel comfortable with her. The same could be said for how Shura felt towards Rin. Rin was half demon, so therefore he couldn't be trusted, right?

After about ten minutes of following the path, Rin and Shura had reached a house so small that it could easily be mistaken for someone's shed.

"Is this it?" asked the demon prince.

Shura turned around to face him. " Ya, apparently there's a man possessed here. Wife called it in."

"There any proof?"

"She said she saw some messed-up shit."

"Like what?"

"She wouldn't say."

"Great." Rin said sarcastically.

"Come on." Shura motioned him to follow her as she moved towards the tiny home.

The interior of the house was messy. Books were ripped into dozens of pieces and thrown carelessly across the dirty wood floor. Whoever lived there hadn't been bothered to do laundry as there were clothes flung onto the ground. The whole house stank and when Rin took his first breath in his new surroundings, he almost vomited.

"Hey! Anybody here?" yelled Shura.

"Yes. I'm in the bathroom, so please, could you give me a moment?" said a woman.

The sound of water ran through the small home. The water turned off after a couple seconds and a door, which Rin had failed to notice, opened. A tiny woman emerged from the door. She had light brown hair and big dark eyes. She was wearing a white dress with a pink flowery pattern. Rin gasped as his eyes made contact with dark bruises that almost complete covered her arms.

Shura raised an eyebrow. "How'd ya get those bruises?"

The woman shuddered at the question as if it caused her pain.

"I-I… who did you say you were, again?"

Shura sighed. Rin could tell that while Shura wanted to go on missions, she didn't like people avoiding her questions.

"We're with the Vatican, you called us, remember? Said it was urgent. And here we are at the agreed upon time and at the agreed upon place. Really should've known it was us. I mean where else can fucking ugly as hell guy like my partner get work?"

"Hey!" Rin exclaimed. He knew Shura was upset, but he didn't expect her to be rude when answering a simple question.

Shura turned towards him. "What? Just telling the truth, ain't I?"

"Yeah but 'honesty isn't always the best policy.'"

"The Vatican…well, you checked in, so it's about time you go away." The woman interrupted their bickering. Her words didn't match her tone. She seemed urgent and afraid.

"You're scared, aren't ya? We're here now, you don't have to be afraid," said Shura.

The woman sighed. "Fine, we can talk," the woman glanced at Rin. "But he can't be here. I don't trust him. He reminds me of my husband…"

"What does that mean?" Rin muttered aggressively under his breath. He looked to Shura, his eyes pleading her to stick up for him. To inform the woman that he was not a threat. But his partner just nodded, signaling him to exit the house.

"Fine."

It was cool outside. There was a light breeze. Rin waited for Shura for about an hour before she came out to greet him.

"False alarm. Husband's getting into some really weird shit, but nothing demonic. The attacks in the area might actually be animals."

"Whatever." Rin turned around and walked off towards where they had began their journey.

*Somewhere in Earth. I'm too lazy to think of a place. So...idk use your imagination*

The Gehenna gate took up most of the small room it was summoned in. The figure that used it as a method of transportation was already walking away towards his destination.

"Don't worry, little brother, I'll bring you back." said the demon, Amaimon.

Author's note

So...that took much longer than it should have to write...sorry.

I'm planning to have there be 13 chapters in total (including the prologue)

I'm going to try and update again soon.

So...thanks thanks for the support. It's really amazing. I kinda thought no one would read my work. Let alone care about it. Thanks a million :)
