Been a while huh? Thought so.
Thanks for the reviews to those who has reviewed. I'm glad you like my work.
And thanks to the rest of you as well for reading it until now.
But I guess you're not here to read what I have to say so let's just get on with the next chapter shall we?
Shiemi watched Rin sleeping leaned against the window in the car they were in. She, Ms. Kamiki, Rin and Yukio got to go in this car while Shima, Miwa and Suguro were in the other car up front.
"Yuki!" Shiemi asked.
"Yes Ms. Moriyama?" Yukio turned his head towards Shiemi who blushed madly.
"I just... I just forgot where we were supposed to go and why" Shiemi said.
"We've been assigned for a mission just outside a popular distination for tourists" Yukio explained. "They are suspecting demons for staying there and we are to clear them out as soon as possible as the tourists won't be effected by the demonic activity" Yukio explained smiling at the young girl.
Shiemi nodded her head. "I see" she said. Knowing it was important she sat still and thought about what to do for the rest of the ride to the tourist spot.
As the car stopped Shiemi turned to Rin and shook his body trying to wake him up.
"Rin we're here" she said kindly still shaking him.
The demon refused to wake up no matter what Shiemi did.
Yukio sighed. "Shiemi. undo his seat-belt" he said before getting out of the car and to the door Rin was leaning against. Shiemi undid Rin's seatbelt and Yukio opened the door as Rin fell to the ground. This woke up the demon.
"What's going on!" he gasped jumping up from the ground. "Why did you make me fall like that?" he looked angrily at Yukio.
"I figured it was the best way to wake you up" Yukio said turning his back on him.
Rin got angry but for once in his life he couldn't figure out a single thing to say to his younger twin.
Shura looked at Yukio. Then she walked up to him while Shiemi went to comfort Rin about what'd just happened.
"We should split into groups. We don't need everyone to keep an eye on the place" Shura said.
Yukio nodded his head. "Besides we don't know where it'll appear. it might as well be anywhere" He looked at all the exwires "Two or three in each group should be just about enough" he said. "Then we can patrol the area"
Shura nodded. "I don't see a problem in that" she said.
While Yukio split the class up in pairs Shiemi wondered why it was the exwires who had been chosen for this case. She figured that it would've been enough just sending the exorcists but for some reason they had been told to go. She asked Rin about this.
"I don't know" Rin said shrugging. "maybe because they thought we were worth the task?" Rin wondered.
"It is a part of our training" Suguro said. "That's all there is to it."
"Okay guys we are splitting you into teams of two and a teacher. We will patrol the area because we have no clue as to where the demon will appear except it's in this area" Yukio explained. "So the first team is gonna create a base for us and stay there. That team is made of Kamiki, Miwa and Mr. Tsubaki"
"If you'd please come with me" Mr Tsubaki said leading Izumo and Konekomaru to wherever the base would be.
"Next team is gonna go south and patrol alongside the ocean. This team is made of Moriyama, Shima and Shura"
Shura gathered Shima and Shiemi and left with the two of them.
Yukio looked at Rin and Bon. "And the three of us will go north" He said leading them in the said direction.
While walking Rin pouted thinking that Yukio really must hate him since he had to team up with Bon. Yukio knew the two of them didn't usually get along too well so why the hell did he have to go on and do this to them? In Rin's opinion this was about the worst team he could get on. Then he'd rather be with Shiemi. she was cute and sweet. But there was the thing with her feelings for Yukio.
Rin sighed by the thought of that.
Time passed as the three boys walked through the forest surrounding the tourist spot. Rin was bored. He felt like they'd been walking forever. It was getting dark now. The sun was setting and all Rin wanted was a nice big amount of food right away and then a nap. The thing of being both tired and hungry also made Rin in less than a happy mood.
"Yukio can't we take a break?" he whined.
"Rin quit complaining" Was the response Rin got. This didn't help him much but he decidedd to stop complaining.
They walked for another half an hour until Rin stopped.
"What is it Rin?" Yukio asked annoyed.
"I think I hear something" Rin said.
All three of them stood still, listening for a sound in the darkness. At first it was hard to make out what Rin had heard. But little by little the sound came closer and it was soon obvious that it was footsteps from something heavy.
"You never even told us what the thing was" Bon said.
"I don't know" Yukio said. "All I know is that it's a mid-level demon and a strong one of it's kind"
"it's headed this way" Rin said even though they were all aware of it.
They stood still for another five minutes and then the demon appeared. It wasn't the tallest one. only half a meter taller than Rin and walking on two legs. It had gray nasty looking skin and yellow eyes and no mouth.
Yukio shut his eyes and aimed for it with closed eyes and pulled the trigger on his gun.
"What is it?" Bon asked not recognizing the demon.
"Close your eyes! It's an extremely rare demon. Only a little is known about it. one of the things that are known is that if you make eye contact with you, you'll suffer a slow and painful death" Yukio said.
"Then how are we supposed to fight it?" Rin asked refusing to close his eyes.
"Do the best we can!" Yukio yelled angrily. "Just do whatever except drawing Kurikara!"
Rin got a little annoyed with that order. he knew very well that he shouldn't draw kurikara even if it had been more than three days since Yukio told him this he hadn't forgotten! He wasn't as much of a moron as they thought he was.
They tried fighting with closed eyes as much as possible but like everyone else it was hard to keep your eyes closed for so long when so much was going on around you. Every time one of them slipped he opened his eyes to see where he'd put his feet.
That was when the demon reached out and grabbed Yukio by the ankle just after he'd slipped on some leaves.
Rin opened his eyes to see his twin hanging above the ground, held by the demon just like that. This made Rin's anger boil. He knew that most of the time Yukio could handle himself and there would be no need to worry at all but at that moment Yukio looked so helpless as he was held by the demon like that and Rin had to do something.
Kurikara was drawn and the blue flames appeared on his body like they always did when he made this move. Without even thinking Rin attacked. He couldn't remember if his eyes were closed or not during the attack or what moves he made but he knew that he managed to hit the demon almost every time.
"Okumura!" Bon called from the ground.
Rin's concentration broke just then and he fell down and landed on his feet on the ground.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Look over there!" Bon pointed towards a certain part of the forest where you in between the trees could see bright light.
"What's that?" Rin asked.
Bon shrugged. "Like I know."
"Hey Yukio!" Rin called. "The bright light over there" He pointed the same direction as Bon had. "What's that?"
Yukio turned his head away from the demon and slowly opened one eye until he could see the bright light.
"I don't know" he admitted.
The bright light came closer as Rin kept on attacking and Bon aimed for the demon while trying to figure out something to kill it with. Nothing came to mind.
That was when glowing men appeared out of the light and just like that attacked the demon with golden light. The demon dropped Yukio and Rin landed on the ground between Yukio and Bon while the demon fell backwards screaming. Despite the missing mouth the scream was tearing up their ears.
"So you are him?" A tall glowing man said. "The son of Satan" he looked at Rin.
"Rin! Kurikara!" Yukio snapped getting up on his feet.
Rin sighed and put away Kurikara before facing the glowing man. "Who are you and how do you know me?" he asked.
"Is that so important when all I need is to kill you?" The glowing man asked.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Rin asked. "Why exactly?"
"God told us to do it. We are to kill all demons we see and the son of Satan in particular" The guy said.
"So Angels do exist" Yukio said.
"Indeed we do" the angel said.
Bon blinked confused. He'd never heard of the angels before and din't understand what they were talking about.
Yukio looked at Rin and Rin understood. they had to leave now if they didn't want to die. But where was the chance in them getting away? All Three of them could have their lives on the line for all they knew. They didn't even know if the angels could just attack them like that or if they needed a certain distance. they didn't know anything about the angels at all so what exactly were they supposed to do?
And that's how we leave it. thanks for reading.
