Welcome back!
Rin: Why do you keep writing for this?
NM: It's a burst of inspiration, it'll go away in a few days
Kanade: When do I come in?
NM: Sometime in thi- hey! Wait a second! You're trying to spoil it, aren't you?
Anyway, sorry about the typos in the past few chapters, I wrote them on my cell phone. I hope you enjoy this!
Rin, Otonashi, and Yuri were walking back from the Guild in the evening. They almost made it back to the campus, when Angel spotted them.
"Aren't you supposed to be in your dorms?" She asked.
"Who are you?" Rin said.
"That's Angel. She's trying to obliterate people." Yuri said before pulling out a handgun.
"Hold up! You don't have to kill her!" RIn yelled as Yuri cocked her pistol. She fired and hit Angel in the chest. "What the hell was that for?!"
"She won't die, now hurry before she-"
"Guard skill: hand sonic." Angel said in a distorted voice. Her right hand glowed blue and a blade grew out of it. Yuri fired a few more bullets at her, but she blocked them.
"We have to get out of here!" Otonashi yelled while pulling out his own gun.
"Guard skill: distortion." Angel ran up to Rin and stabbed him through his chest.
Why does this pain feel so familiar?
Elsewhere…
Yukio fell through the portal that Mephisto created under him. He was in darkness for a few seconds before light and color appeared again. He could tell that he was falling from quite a ways up. He looked around and saw a school in the distance.
Purgatory is just a school?
He thought. He looked down and saw that the ground was coming up extremely fast and he tried to land as well as he could without killing himself…
…it didn't work.
He landed on his back and felt extreme pain shoot down his spine. Probably not from a broken bone, but from a tail that he still hadn't quite gotten used to despite having had it for several months. He pulled off his huge exorcist coat just to make sure he didn't receive any major damage, before getting up and starting towards the school.
He came up to a few buildings and saw a white haired girl that was probably the same age he was.
"Excuse me, miss, do you know where I am?" He asked her. She looked at him.
"Are you lost? Did you just get here?" She asked him.
"You could say that, listen, I'm looking for someone with dark blue hair and light blue eyes, he should be just a bit shorter than me, have you seen him?" She pointed to the school's main building. "Thank you, what's your name?"
"I'm Kanade, who are you?"
"My name is Yukio, it's nice to meet you Kanade." He said before going to the building. He got up to the front door and attempted to grab the handle, but his hand went right through it.
That's odd, is everything here like this? Or is it because I'm still alive?
He thought. He tried to grab it again, but it still didn't work. He eventually tried to push the door without using the handle and, to his surprise, his hand went right through it. He walked through the door as if it didn't exist and began searching for Rin.
He looked all over the building but didn't see any sign of his older brother. He was about to give up when he saw a principal's office.
Maybe someone or something in there could help…
He walked through the door and saw a few people inside staring at him in shock.
Including his brother.
"Rin!" Yukio yelled and ran towards him, only to notice a huge stab wound that was slowly closing.
"Yukio? Is that you?" Rin asked, seemingly unfazed by the bleeding slit in his chest.
"You're bleeding! I can never trust you to stay out of fights, can I?"
"What do you mean?"
"What's going on?" Otonashi asked.
"I don't know…" Rin said.
"Rin, do you know who I am?" Yukio asked and Rin thought about it for a minute.
"You're my brother, right?" Yukio stared at him with surprise and sadness. He tried to hug Rin, but passed right through him. Everyone stared at him.
"What just happened?! I get that we're all dead, but we're not ghosts, right?" Rin said. Yuri walked up to Yukio and stuck her hand straight through him.
"We aren't ghosts, but it seems that you just go through everything here, except for the floor." Yuri stated in a matter-of-fact way. Yukio ignored her.
"Rin, I came all the way here just to see you, can't you remember anything?" Rin shook his head.
I need to find a way to make him remember…
Yukio thought before his eyes fell on the Koma sword that Rin was carrying. He tried to grab it, but went through it.
"Rin, draw that sword." He said.
"Why? I might not be able to remember much, but I know that I shouldn't draw this." Rin said.
"Please, just do it!" His brother pleaded. Rin pulled it out of the red case and dropped the case on Yuri's desk. He looked at it for a second before pulling the sheath off to reveal…
…nothing.
No flames, no tail, no memories.
"Okay, I did it, what was it supposed to do?" Rin said. Yukio sighed and left the room. He sat on a sidewalk just outside of the campus and looked up at the stars.
"Did you find him?" A familiar voice asked. He saw her standing next to him.
"Yeah, but he doesn't remember." He said while sitting up.
"That's too bad, although it happens a lot."
"Why aren't you with the other people?"
"Because I'm trying to help them move on, but they don't know that. They think I'm an angel here to prevent them from doing something, so they attack me frequently."
"How are you still alive then?"
"No one here can die, it's physically impossible to. The closest one can come to dying in this world is moving on."
"Could I help you?" Angel seemed startled by the question. "I want my brother to move on and live freely, so could I help you?"
"Yes."
Ooooooooooooooooh! Alliances are forming and things are getting more interesting!
Rin: But I still can't remember anything…and what was up with Kurikara?
NM: Well, basically, your demon heart wasn't bonded to the blade when you made it
Rin: How does that make any sense?
NM: It makes sense to me
Rin: Whatever
Yukio: How much help am I going to be, anyway?
NM: *Insert spoiler here*
I hope that you like it! See you next time! Bye!
