Rin looked back and I followed his gaze, he was staring at Bon. "Is everyone safe?" he shouted. Bon's face grew angry.
"Why the hell are Satan's kids at this school!" he shouted back before he started a coughing fit.
Yukio took him away but he looked back and glared at me mainly. My heart broke and I fell limp ready and willing to be dragged away.
Rin wasn't done yet though. "Sh-shiemi, are you ok? What's wrong, are you hurt somewhere? Suguro overreacted a bit. As you can see we're not much different. Almost no difference between me and a regular human." I saw him grab his tail and stuff it in his pants. "I-I'm not being very persuasive…Am i?" he tried laughing to hide his pain.
"Why are you laughing, as if there's nothing strange about it?" Yukio came and took her away as well and Rin followed my example. "Shiemi." He muttered.
"Come here!" Rin was dragged but I willingly walked. "We'll go directly through the Opera courthouse's "Door of the Accused"," he pushed us in roughly and I stumbled a bit. I was blinded by the intense light of the room. And the white color, I've always hated white, so plain and characterless. I always preferred a nice purple or a navy blue to match my eyes. White rooms make me nervous because with my hair, I stand out like a sore thumb.
He kicked both me and Rin down, "Kneel there," I heard Rin scream in agony and quickly knew why when his sword went through my ankle. I joined in the symphony of anguish soon after. "It's to stop him from acting violent and to stop her from running. Besides it'll heal soon enough."
"God you're the same as always outside a saint inside a devil." 'damn straight Shura if I wasn't in this situation I'd argee. To think when I first saw him I thought he'd be nice.' I thought as my cries became gasps and groans.
"SILENCE, now bring to the stand the accused! The castigation and interrogation of the accused, The head of the Japanese Branch of the True Cross order, Mephisto Pheles is now Open Court. Myself, Timote Tiwowas, the Director and Enforcer of the knights of the True Cross Order and the Paladin, Arthur Augusto Angel a first class upper exorcist. As well as Grigori's Knights of the True Cross Supreme Advisors acting as overseers.
I'd like the court to look at an image of just what happened at the True Cross Academy campus. Sir Pheles, what is shown here…"
"Yes, no doubt it is one of the same demons before us."
"And this image?"
"Another one of the two, though much weaker flames, just as powerful."
"Then I ask you openly. Aren't those demons Satan's children?" I finally got used to the pain and looked up.
"That is correct, now is not the time for excuses." I groaned. "So he decides to start telling the truth here? Great." I muttered.
"In other words, 15 years ago, when Fujimoto claimed to have exorcised the child of Satan with Koumaken who lower second class exorcist Yuri Egin was pregnant with. Are you saying that report was false?"
"Yes, she gave birth to triplets, two male one female. One however did not inherit Satan's flames. The two who did are right here, the two oldest. Left alone they would've become demons. The source of the oldest child's power is his demon's heart which I had sealed away with Koumaken."
"And the girl?"
"The most she did was cough some flames at the time, she never did anything else. We assumed it was a phase. As it seems though, she herself has complete control of them. And they were secretly brought up by Fujimoto Shiro until they were ready to take control of their powers." My eyes grew wide as dinner plates when I just realized what bullshit he was feeding them.
"For what purpose?"
"What were your intentions, Sir Pheles?"
"… In order to create a weapon to fight Satan!"
A dull murmur went through the crowd, I put my head down and smiled, 'It's already on my to-do list, I'll take the job.'
"Don't let yourself be fooled by this charlatan! Everyone don't tell me you could've possibly forgotten his lineage? His kind specializes in smooth talking people!" 'Or you all are just idiots who takes bets whenever they appear to be in your favor.' "He conspired with Fujimoto Shiro, to bring up Satan's spawn! This is an undeniable fact. He must've been intending to deceive the Knights of the True Cross Order and overthrow them from within! If you believe his words, you'll have fallen for his trick!"
I sighed in defeat as all the insults were thrown at Mephisto.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" I looked over at Rin he was blazing brightly in his flame, "you bastards since the very beginning, just won't shut up with your endless blabber! Don't just mindlessly judge people as you please! I ain't your weapon, demon king, or saviour! I'm Okumura Rin! And I'm going to become the best friggin' exorcist you ever laid your eyes on! And I'll make sure every single damn one of you remembers it!"
"The best exorcist you say? In other words you want to become a Paladin? You, the disgusting child of Satan? How amusing."
"So yeah, do all Paladins look like you?" Rin asked. "Just cause when I'm also Paladin, it'd suck to have to wear such lame-ass clothing as that."
I hummed, "Well I'll have to remember that if and when we get out of here alive, idiot brother." I said cutting off Angel.
"SILENCE EVERYONE." I took my foot back and sat legs-crossed. "HOLD YOUR SWORD ANGEL!"
"It is true that by their very nature demons are our- I mean Assiah's enemies. But then again, since ancient times our Order has gained wisdom from the demons and used that against them… That too is a fact."
I raised my hand only for Angel to smack it down.
"Still this is an unprecedented problem and the members of this assembly have not yet cleared Sir Pheles of his betrayal charges."
"However, considering the 200 years Sir Pheles has served our Order, he holds a certain amount of trust. Everyone, will you or will you not take part of this 'gamble' Sir Pheles speaks of. Why don't we take a majority vote?"
Me and Rin Raised our hands even though we don't count.
