Yay for a nice loooong chappy to make up for the late update, seriously I have been saying ''Ok, I'm not going to bed until this is uploaded" for the past 3 nights but i wrote and re-wrote the first half because it just didn't go the way i wanted to and gave up on this last time so sorry if the first half is a little odd and sorry in advances for some OOC-ness (that you might enjoy either way if you like this ''semi'' pairing ^^)
Just a heads up, this chapter is a little gory, nothing unusual for me, and PLEASE PLEASE review! it gives me more of a motive to get the next chapters out sooner!
Izumo POV
Izumo sat at Rin's bedside, both elbows on her knees as her chin rested on her palms. I had been a whole week since the incident and their was still no sign of Rin waking up. Izumo had barely left his side as somehow, being their made her feel a little less guilty for him being in the state he was, after all it was her fault. He had gotten bashed by the neberius to protect her and he could have escaped Grell if he hadn't taken such a thrashing already. Just to top it all off she had forced him to summon Sebastian again which, according to the demon himself, was the reason he was still recovering. She thought of Sebastian, he had been coming and going every hour or so checking on Rin, changing his sheets and checking his wounds. She wished she could do something herself but knew that moving so the demon could go about his business and keeping an eye on Yukio was about the best she could do. She smiled to herself thinking of Yukio, she had practically had to yell at him to get him to eat and would deliberately turn light's off so he wouldn't loose to much sleep while he spent far to much timer reading or going over lesson plans while worried more than anyone about Rin. She let out a sigh and leaned back in her chair, looking over her shoulder at the futon she had been sleeping in, refusing to go back to her own dorm. Yukio had protested ''for her own health'' but she had insisted on staying, much to the younger Okumura brothers protests. Although she, Sebastian and the rest of the cram school had tried to reassure him over and over, he never got I through his surprisingly thick skull that Rin WAS going to wake up and WAS going to be Ok Izumo had believed it herself at first but the looks of irritation Sebastian had been pulling while he studied Rin's sleeping form had given her a sence of unease that only grew everytime he sighed or 'tsk'd' in annoyance. Just as she was thinking about it, the devil himself walked through the door.
''Good afternoon miss Kamiki, Still no signs of the master awakening?'' He said politely. Izumo sighed.
''No, nothing new. Why is he still out? I thought you said it would only be a few days?'' She asked, trying not to sound accusatory. She had grown quite fond of the demon in butler's uniform and felt quite at ease around him. His smile narrowed slightly.
''I know, I decided that maybe he needs something of a...'kick start' to wake him up.'' He said matter-of-factly. Izumo straightened as the tall man knelt on one knee and lowered the tray he was carrying, allowing Izumo #t see what rested on it. Her eyes widened as she saw a syringe filled with a murky white-green liquid.
''bushman's poison sap. As the name subject's, a deadly poison to humans but the equivalent of a shot of adrenaline to those of demon kin.''
''I know exactly what it is, Why would you use something like that? Rin may be half demon but he's also half human!'' She demanded, anger going from naught to 50 as usual. The demon chuckled.
''Any damage it could do to him as a human is cancelled out by it's regenerative properties and Rin's own healing amity so their is no doubt that it-''
''Are you sure?'' Izumo cut across, folding her arms and giving him her famous death glare. Sebastian frowned and then smiled.
''Always the lady,'' He muttered playfully, ''and yes in answer to your question.'' He set the tray on the desk and took the syringe in hand. Izumo's stomach churned as she watched the demon twist Rin's arm and searched for a vein, angling the syringe and letting the needle slide through his skin, emptying the content of the syringe into his bloodstream. The two observed Rin with baitent breath, waiting, hoping for some sort of response. After about 10 minutes. Sebastian sighed, standing and picking up the tray, a frown painted on his pace
''Not the desired effect. I shall return shortly, there are ot-''
''WHERE AM I?!'' Izumo and Sebastian's eyes shot to the source of the croaky voice as Rin went from lying to sitting up in a fraction of a second. His eyes darted around the room and his hands flew up to his forehead. ''Oooowww...'' He wined. Izumo blinked a few times and smiled, relief washing over her and making her feel almost high.
''Rin! You're awake!'' She cried happily, reaching a hand towards his shoulder. He winced at her touch and lowered his hands, letting his cerulean eyes rest on her crimson ones. The childish and oh to familiar grin that split is face made her blush.
''Izumo, you're alright!'' He chirped, frowning and patting his throat. ''Is everyone OK? What happened?'' He asked. Izumo grinned.
''It's Ok, when you summoned Sebastian, he stopped Grell and then he just disappeared. We've been more worried about you since you only woke up when Sebastian gave you a shot of bushman's poison sap. Everyone is downstairs, I need to go an let them know you're awake. Honestly you had us worried...' She trailed off as her cheeks deepened to crimson. She was NEVER like this, not even around Paku, her best friend. Preferring not to say anything else, she stood and quickly walked from the room.
Rin POV
Rin watched through the headache that was drumming through his skull and casting a fog across his vision when he caught sight of the other person in the room. Before he could help it he pointed at him accusingly.
''YOU!'' He croaked, his throat dry and achy. He smiled inwardly at the glee of having his voice back before narrowing his eyes back at the demon. ''What the hell are you doing here?'' Sebastian grinned innocently and bowed.
''Why, you summoned me of course.''
''Don't give me that BS, why are you STILL here?''
''I have been looking after you of course...master.'' Sebastian bowed again, his tone mocking as he uttered the last word. Scowling while lying against the headboard.
''So you want to go against Satan?'' He asked, putting two and two together. Sebastian chuckled.
''It will be a while but yes, that is the eventual aim.'' He said simply, a wicked grin creeping on his face.
''Why do you saw it will be a while?''
''Your flames are vastly uncontrollable, You must learn to control them unthinkingly before diving into gehenna or it will be suicide for the both of us.'' He said thoughtfully. Rin let that sink in.
''How can I learn to control my flame's? Where do I even begin doing something like that?'' He thought aloud.
''I can show you how but you must learn on your own, Their is only so much I can do. Undertaker may know more, he is even older than myself.''
''Who is undertaker?'' Rin asked with a hint of dread.
''No matter, your friends are here.'' Sebastian said, standing aside. After he mentioned it, he noticed the hushed voices from beyond the door.
''but I wanna go an see him!''
''you'll get your turn, let sensei go in first!''
''it makes sense...''
''I honestly don't mind,''
''just GO!'' as the arguing continued, Sebastian drew the door to one side and stepped outside.
''Yukio, I'm sure you would like a moment alone with your brother before everyone else see's him.'' He said from beyond the door. Rin sighed gratefully, not wanting to have to face the entire cram school while his head pounded and he could barely think straight. Their was a a silent moment before Yukio stumbled through the door. Looking up, he stumbled forward and sat on the edge of the mattress and pulled Rin into a hug.
''ngh! Go easy Yuki-''
'What the hell Rin?! Do you have any idea of how much everyone has been worrying about you? What took you so long?'' He hissed in Rin's ear. Rin stiffened.
''Whadya mean what took me so long?!'' He said, trying to push his twins rigid form from him unsuccessfully, he stopped when he noticed Yukio trembling and dampness on his tshirt shoulder. ''Yuki...''
''You've been out for a week Rin... Sebastian said you would wake up after a few days.'' Yukio gripped Rin tighter. Rin hugged him back, patting him on the back.
''A whole week, Why so long?'' Rin said aloud, more to himself but Yukio sniffed and pulled away, wiping his eyes and fixing his glasses.
''I don't know, Sebastian said when you summoned him and he brought Ciel with him it really took it out of you, apparently humans aren't supposed to be summoned.'' He managed to force a smile and a slight chuckle. Rin raised his eyebrows.
''Ciel? Who is he?'' Yukio shook his head.
''We can get into it later, I think everyone else wants to see you to.'' He said, chuckling as Rin looked over and caught sight of six pairs of eyes staring at him through a small crack in the door. ''It's alright guy's, you can come in.''Yukio called, the door slamming open before he was mid sentence. Rin shuffled awkwardly as they stared at him, regretting it as his body ached with each movement. Finally, Paku broke the silence.
''Hay Rin, how are ya? um... Thank you for saving me back then, it was really brave of you...'' The brunette blushed but smiled and Rin scratched his head, blushing himself.
''Hehe, I-it was nothing...'' Paku shook her head.
''No really, an the whole demon thing? So what? You haven't changed, right guys?'' Paku laughed aloud and looked at the others who let out a choir of awkward groans and turned away. Rin noticed the particularly guilty face of Konekomeru who was hanging at the back of the group looking down.
''….I'm sorry Rin...I-I didn't know how to react when we found out you where the son of Satan an all, m-my parents died on the blue night after all...I'm sorry!'' Konekomeru bowed as he mumbled the last sentence and Rin caught a glimmer of tears before he managed to hide them.
''h-hay..'' Rin stuttered but was interrupted by Bon shoving the bald boy forward, huffing in irritation.
''Enough already, you didn't do anything wrong, just kiss and make up already.''
''waaahh..?'' Koneko cried, eyes and mouth shooting wide open. The group, including Rin, erupted into fits of hysterics while the shortest turned a violent shade of red.
Ciel POV
Ciel heard the laughing from the floor above and his temper, which always seemed to close to the edge since coming to this god forsaken place, heated up a few degrees. So the demon brat had awakened had he? Ciel came to a stop in the hallway and clenched his fists, his hair casting a shadow over his eyes. What was going to happen now? Was Sebastian going to leave him on his own or was he going to do as he said and take them back to the manor in their own time? He was torn on what and who to believe, Sebastian held their contract and had said that when this 'Rin' person woke up, they would return home but he had also overheard the students talking about Sebastian and Rin going to a place called Gehenna to fight Satan. Was defeating Satan more important to his butler than consuming his soul? He turned to one side and kicked the nearest door, making it rattle against its frame. Sebastian had told him nothing, absolutely nothing, If he was the faintest bit more informed he could have something to cling onto but he was completely in the dark. He drew his leg back and kicked the door again and again.
''tut tut, Now that's no way to treat someone else's property now is it?'' Ciel jumped at the voice and wheeled around defensively, seeing the odd man in clown's attire and Undertaker standing side by side, their faces dusted pink with intoxication. Upon knowing that their was no actual threat, Ciel turned to walk away hissing 'whatever' over his shoulders.
''Now now young master, You should be a little more polite to are host, after all he does have superb taste in everything! He finally let me design the coffin of my dreams! And have you ever heard of rosa buca bomb? Delightful!'' Undertaker threw an arm over the clown's shoulders and the two smiled widely at each other, the air sparkling around them. Ciel's jaw hit the floor at the sight of the inebriated pair, as they turned and continued down another hallway singing ''Konichiwa kona kinenbi wa,,'' at the top of their lungs, filling the hallway with the smell of aniseed and marzipan.(Challenge, see bottom AN's)
Ciel was about to turn and leave when he spotted a ring of keys on the floor where the two drunks had gone. Glancing around nervously, he tiptoed over to the and silently picked them up, his hand missing as they where swiped out of sight by a pink gloved hand.
''woops, How silly of me to leave something like this just lying around. Wouldn't want anyone running to tell the Vatican that the son of Satan and his +demon familiars are currently residing here in this abandoned dorm now could I?'' The clown droned, winking at Ciel who only stared in as stupor of befuddlement. The clown made a peace sigh with his hands and Cheshire smiled, popping a leg for good measure and then turned the opposite way and stalked off. Ciel watched as the clown catwalked down the corridor an out of sight.
''What...just happened?'' He said aloud. Shaking his head from side to side, trying to rid this encounter from his mind and make sure it never came back, he saw something glint light at him as he turned to walk away. On the corridor floor where Mephisto had stood not 10 seconds ago lay a large brass key studded with large jewels. 'Had the clown been actually hinting at something?' snatching it up quickly he ran back to his room and shut the door behind him.
Mephisto POV
''But I thought you wanted the boy to defeat Satan? If you leave that key with the young master he will surely peruse the Vatican.' Undertaker was chuckling as he sat down opposite him at one of the cafeteria tables while Mephisto had Ukoboch made them some hot nuggies.(2) ?Mephisto's face turned a little more serious.
''Haha, Why I''m merely speeding things up a little, life is incredibly boring at this present time, I only with to give are heroines a little...push. You may want to prepare yourself soon Sir Undertaker.'' Mephisto's eyes flashed and even Undertaker recoiled a little before letting out a drunken laugh.
''My my you are the impatient one, but let us drink for the moment!'' He said, raising the glass full warm milk with herbs floating on top and waving it around above his head. Picking up where they left off earlier, the two of them singing at the top of their voices and laughed at the complaining warble from Ukobock who stormed out of the room.
Ciel POV
Ciel was turning the key through his fingers, wondering. He knew how to use the key as he had seen others using similar ones but did he really want to go to this Vatican in case Sebastian was killed or turned his back on their contract, or maybe he would leave him stranded here an then he would never find out who had killed his parents. Sucking in a deep breath he stood up, determination flooding his mind and wiping out any doubts he had had. Crossing the room to the door, he put the key in the lock and turned it. His eyes widened when he was met with a long, old stone hallway with a small, suspended bridge leading him to another oversized church door. Closing the door behind himself, Ciel toed forward. He came within a few feet of the next door when it suddenly swung open. Ciel flung himself behind one of the stone columns that lined the walkway as a woman with black pants and, Ciel's entire head began to glow a luminous scarlet, some sort of wrapping that covered only her bust. He shrunk himself into the shadows as much as he could as he listened for her approaching footsteps. Sweat beaded his face as he saw her walk past the column and continue forward talking to someone on her 'phone'. He tried to listen to what she was saying but all he could hear was white noise probably from the fright he had had when she entered the hallway. Sitting stock still, he waited until the woman reached the end of the corridor, pulled a black jumper with a hood over her head and opened the door, slamming it loudly behind her. Finally letting the breath he had held out. He stood, resting a hand on the stone railing to steady his shaken legs, he continued up the hall to the door. He opened it a crack and peered inside to find another hallway lined with doors identical to the one he was peaking through and also their where large groups of exorcists standing around chatting to each other. He watched the exorcists inside, studying each of them one by one until he caught sight of one who appeared to be older with a strange black tattoo on the right side of his face, standing towards the further most part of the room. Hoping that his guy was not in league with the clown, he shoved the door he was hiding behind wide open and made a run for it. Their was an alarmed cry around the room and two iron hands gripped his upper arms, stopping him in his tracks.
''WHO ARE YOU? HOW DID YOU GET HERE?'' A voice shouted to his let, he turned and was met with the barrel's of a number of guns that where being pointed at him. Choosing his words carefully, he kept his voice steady despite the rush on panic and adrenaline coursing through his veins.
''I am Ciel Phantomhive, I come baring news of a betrayal made by a certain Mephisto Phelps.'' He called. The man who he had previously been targeting stepped in front of him holding an odd gold spear like weapon with a number of rings on one end.
''How did you get in here?'' He said,eyes narrowed.
''If you would kindly unhand me I will speak.'' He said, a smirk in his voice. The black haired man studied him for a moment and nodded at whoever was holding him.
''How I came to be here is irrelevant, I have information I believe you may find concerning.'' He said, unable to hide the snicker he felt. Even though he had a number of weapons pointing his way, he enjoyed the rush of power that came with their anticipating faces. The man bent at the waist, putting his face within an inch of Ciel's.
''What is it?''
''Mephisto Phelps has the son of Satan in his custody at True Cross Academy.'' He said, another dose of enjoyment made him smile when looks of horror crossed over the faces of the exorcists.
'is it true?' 'I thought it was a rumor,' 'how can this be possible?'
''This better not be a game kid! Do you have any proof?'' The man before his spat, dreading denial in his eyes.
''Well Rin Okumura has ears and a tail and can use blue flames. If you go their right now you can see for yourselves.'' He said, shrugging as he spoke and earning something that sounded like a growl from the tattooed man.
''My son is their right now, tell me did you happen to come into contact with Renzo Shima?'' Ciel remembered the pink haired boy being called Shima by his friends.
''He is a friend of Rin's, he visits his dormitory all the time.'' He said tauntingly, earning a wide eyed look from the now horrified male. Another exorcist standing behind him utters 'Yaozo, you can't rush this,' but the man ignored him.
''Someone inform the Grigori immediately.''
'Their will be no need.'' A voice came from somewhere out of Ciel's vision.
''Paladin Sir!'' Some nearby exorcists called as a man clad in a white uniform with a claymore strapped to his waist waded through the crowd of exorcists.
''Prepare yourselves, Are mission is to retrieve the spawn of Satan dead or alive, I also want Mephisto in custody.'' The white clad man walked forward and lead the group of exorcist. Ciel was scooped up and thrown under someones arm.
''Whu..? Unhand me you buffoon-''
''You bore witness to the son of Satan, you will come with us.'' his 'carrier' said and he was taken down the corridor to the door he had first came through with the huge group of armed exorcists.
Izumo POV
Rin lay on his bead asleep while Yukio sat reading at his desk. Izumo was in the process of gathering her things, feeling a little awkward staying here now that Rin was awake and more or less back to his usual self. Rin had thanked her earlier for keeping an eye on Yukio and himself, making her smile when he called him a stupid four-eyed-mole-face for worrying about him so much. Earlier the group had sat around chatting merrily until Yukio ushered them away insisting that Rin needed to rest up, much to Rin's croaky protests of ''I'm fine really'' while he yawned and shuddered a something caused him discomfort. Yukio stood up and uttered something about going the toilet and left the room. Izumo rolled up the futon on the floor and headed towards tohe door.
''Izumo?'' Came a low voice. Izumo turned to see Rin pushing himself into a sitting position. She blushed a little at how incredibly empty the room was besides herself and him.
''S-sorry, did I wake you?''
''No it's Ok. I was waiting for four eyes to leave.'' Izumo blushed even more and prayed that he couldn't see her face well enough in the darkened room to se her burning cheeks.
''O-Ok, well take care..'' She stuttered, turning back towards the door.
''T-thank you!...A-again. For looking after Yukio that is...an i'm sorry for making you all worry so much.'' If it where possible, Izumo's cheeks burned even more.
''I-It's Ok, you just take it easy an don't make us worry even more.'' She turned again but stopped herself, an overpowering urge to voice her own feelings freezing her in her pace. She had been fighting the toughs off over the past few days, not even voicing them to her best friend. Turning back to Rin and hugging the futon close to her in an effort to hide the lower half of her face, she felt her heart flutter when her crimson eyes met curious cerulean ones.
''R-Rin?'' She stuttered.
''Yeah?'' Her heart started pounding.
''I...I'' She hugged the futon even more.
''Come on spit it out.'' Rin chuckled.
''I..I...L-li ….like... y-yo...'' A sudden slam of the door opening just behind her had Izumo clinging to the ceiling with her nails, her head spinning at the sudden fright and everything he had been holding still falling to the floor.
''…...Did I interrupt something?'' A certain butler deadpanned, his mouth a twisting into an evil smile.
'''Y-y-y-y-you B-b-b-b-bastard!'' Izumo managed to choke out as she fell to the floor, eyes swirling and saliva sliding down one side of her chin. The butler chuckled and his eyes focused on Rin who was holding his arms in front of him defensively, apparently shocked by the sudden entrance too.
''Sorry for frightening you but The grigori are on their way. Rin, we need to leave and now.'' The butler said, stepping over Izumo who sobered and sat up.
"The Grigori? What the hell are they doing here?'' She hissed.
"I don't know but Mephisto just informed me.'' Sebastian said as he helped Rin to his feet and threw some clothes at him a moment later. Izumo scrambled to her feet.
"W-what the hell? How do they...?" She said, turning as Rin began pulling his tee of unembarrassed.
"It was only a matter of time.'' Rin said somberly. After Rin changed into a pair of black cargo pants, white tee and red checked shirt and had kurikara on his back, Sebastian made towards the door.
''Where are we going?'' Rin asked.
''Anywhere away from here. We can't go to gehenna now, your flames are far to underdeveloped for us to stand a chance.'' Sebastian said taking long strides that had Rin and Izumo trailing behind. They had only gotten to the back entrance when Rin was starting to trail behind, panting slightly. Izumo turned a concerned look his way but didn't get a moment to say anything as Sebastian had already pulled him onto his back. Ignoring Rin's protests, Sebastian turned to her.
"You should probably head back. We're going to have to go into hiding and if you stay behind, you will probably get off any form of punishment for being 'involved'"
"I can't just stay behind, and i think it's a little late for that anyway,'' Just as they left the door they heard the distant shouts of men and women, a whole group of them from the sounds of things.'' Crossing the grounds, they came to a stop under the cover of the shadows of a cluster of bushes and trees where the group ate their lunch from time to time. Stopping for a moment, Rin slid down of Sebastians back and faced him.
''Where the hell are we going an why did we stop?''
''I need to retrieve the master, Can I trust the pair of you to hide under those bushes and keep it down? I can back in 3 minutes on my own.'' He said, giving the now nodding pair a stern , the butler ran back into the dorm, crossing the night shrouded ground in seconds. Izumo and Rin got down on their front's, peaking through the leaves to look at the abandoned dorm. They watched as the exorcists ran through the hallways, casting long shadows on the lawns in front of them. They both stiffened as some of them came from the back entrance and started running around the perimeter, guns at the ready.
tac-tac-tac
They froze as they heard approaching footsteps enclosing on them from behind.
tac-tac-tac
Two people, Izumo calculated as Rin slowly reached for kurikara.
tac-tac-tac
shit, they must have seen us! Izumo thought, reaching for a pair of her summoning circles in her skirt pocket so slowly you couldn't even hear of clothes. The footsteps seemed to come to a stop a few feet away from them. Izumo dared to look around when-
''It's me, lets go.'' face planting the soil beneath them, Izumo and Rin had to force themselves not to make a scene. Their stood Sebastian holding Ciel in a princess carry and hovering just behind him was Undertaker who had a pink flush across his face. Scrambling to their feet, the students started after Sebastian who had already started walking in the opposite direction. Unfortunately luck wasn't on their side as the light from an overpowered torch shone in their direction.
''Freeze!'' Called a voice. Ignoring it the group pressed on, Undertaker speeding ahead and swinging open the door that lead into the regular school. They ran through the door, ducking out of the way as bullets rained down on them and slammed the door closed behind them. Not stopping to catch their breath, they continued running until they had put a good few floors between themselves and the ground floor. Diving into a nearby classroom, they finally stopped, Rin sliding down to the floor against the door.
''What the #wheeze# hell! They #wheeze# where firing #wheeze# at us?#wheeze# They could have killed us!''
"I think that was their intention." Izumo deadpanned and Rin seemed to shrink in on himself a little.
"They where only tranquilizer darts, nothing deadly. Precautionary measures for if they shoot a few innocents.'' Sebastian stated matter-of-factly. Izumo clenched her teeth at his not-interested attitude a slight sob caught her attention.
''I-I'm sorry for getting you dragged into this mess Izumo,'' Rin said as he drew hiskneesup to his chin and hugged them. ''I hope Yuki an the rest are Ok...'' Izumo tsk'd, making Rin look up wide-eyed.
''They will be fine, stop being such an idiot! I could have stayed if i wanted to! If you didn't notice, their is an army of exorcists trying to KILL you at the moment, so worry about yourself for a change!''
"Izumo-''
"Sorry for interrupting your little lovers qorral but as you mentioned, their are a horde of exorcists making their way into the building who want us dead, can we please decide where we are actually going instead of sitting here waiting to be captured?'' All eyes turned to the normally flippant Undertaker. Sighing, Izumo turned to Sebastian who had set down Ciel, the small child backed away from the door with a dark look of satisfaction that Izumo didn't have time to give a second though.
''Any bright ideas? if so now would be the ideal time to-''
''Their above us! search every classroom!'' Came a muffled voice from below. 'great..' Sebastian walked to the window and a grim expression crossed his face.
''Their are far to many of them, If they where regular humans it wouldn't be a problem but their anti-demon weapons-''
"WHATEVER! what the hell are we supposed to do now?!'' Izumo hissed. They sat in silence as they listened to the exorcists heavily running up the stairs. Sebastian looked thoughtful for a moment, caressing his chin between his thumb an index finger before sighing. He crossed the room and dragged Rin to his feet and into the center of the room.
"hay! whats the big ide..Wait!-GYAAAA!" Rin let out a cry of pain as, to Izumo's horror, Sebastian pulled Kurikara from its bag, unsheathed it and used it to open two deep openings on Rin's inner arms from the crease right down to his palms, drawing almost a waterfall like flow of life essence that splashed on the floor noisily. Izumo froze and her own blood ran cold. Sebastian's voice pulled her down as her mind reeled.
''What the fu..''
"You're going to have to summon a gehenna gate or we're just going to get killed standing around here. You won't die from blood loss but try not to panic or you'll go into a state of shock." Rin looked up, his face already turning frighteningly pail.
''D-Don't p-panic?'' He stuttered thickly. izumo started forward as he started to wobble but Sebastian beat him to it, suddenly appearing behind the teen with a chair and guiding him it. He let his head fall back over the chair.
''Wait whu.? You're opening a gehenna gate? here?" izumo called, cursing for making the exorcists job easier not that Rin's flames weren't a dead giveaway to anyone looking in from outside. "An when Satan opened a gehenna gate whe... he only used a little...' Rin broke off as a tired sadness entered his voice.
"You can stay here and die if you want or you can come to gehenna. Your blood is weaker with you being half human. Everyone, guard this door and whatever you do, do NOT let anyone through before we open the gate. Izumo, summon your familiars an do what you can to keep them out until the gate opens.'' Izumo nodded and did as she was told. Summoning her two byakko's, she took a defensive stance towards the door, grateful for an excuse to look and step away from the collecting pool on the floor. Undertaker stood next to her and reached into his robes, pulling out a scythe with some sort of skeletal detailing by the blade that was far to big to be simply concealed within the mans clothing. She pushed this from her mind and focused on sounds of approaching exorcists from the hall beyond. The door flung open a moment later.
"Uke! Mike! Drive them back, don't hurt anyone if you can!'' She called and her familiars darted forwards, running head first into the unlucky two who came in first. Undertaker used the wooden end of the scythe to push them back through the door. Three more darted through with their guns raised and fired a round of tranquilizer rounds that had izumo diving around a desk for cover.
"Sebastian! How much longer?" She shouted through gritted teeth.
"60 seconds, Almost their!" he called back from somewhere to the far left of the room.
"Seize your defenses! We have Yukio Okumura here, if you wish for him to live, I sugest you hold your assault and give up the Satan spawn!" Their was a shuffling noise and a grunt that Izumo recognized as professor okumura's voice. Hissing, Izumo ripped the summoning papers in her hand sending Uke and Mike back wherever they came from and slowly stood, showing herself from the safety of the desk with her arms raised. Their stood a man with long golden blond hair in a white exorcist uniform and before him on his knees was Yukio with his hands, presumably bound, behind his back. He looked up at her and then around the room, finally catching sight of Rin.
"Rin! What the?" He didn't have time to finish as the white clad figure behind him drovehisknee into his back, making him stumble forward.
"Yukio! What happened?" Rin all but whispered.
Rin POV
Through the drowsy fog that was threatening to overcome the bluenette, He shifted to look past Sebastian who was standing before him and saw Yukio kicked to the ground and gave him a desperate look through his glasses. What the hell where they supposed to do now? He couldn't defy them and let Yukio get hurt on his behalf.
"Yuki.."
"What is going on here? Planning on summoning something evil where we? make a move and I promise I will kill Mr Okumura without a second thought!" the blond shouted, pointing a claymore type sword in Rin's direction and they Yukio's. Rin tried to raise his hands but they had gone completely numb. He was about to call to the Exorcist when he heard Sebastian's voice in his head.
"We can summon the gate now, Undertaker is going to distract them and I need you to repeat the mantra to open it."
"but what about my brother?"
"He can't come with us, He will not be able to survive the atmosphere in Gehenna."
"We can't leave him here!"
"Rin! He is human, they will not kill him! Once we defeat Satan I am sure you will both receive a full pardon"
"I'm waiting!'' Came a sickly smooth voice dripping with false innocence. Sebastian chanced a look at Rin and he nodded, not knowing what else to do.
"That's an awfully nice coat you got there, Is it from the Victorian era by any chance?" Undertaker said in mock moment the white coated man turned his attention to the reaper, Sebastian whispered an unidentifiable collection of syllables and words to his head. He mumbled them under his breath, saying them slowly so he didn't mispronounce anything.
"As a matter of fact no, they are custom-made, undoubtedly I would have to wear something befitting for the recently appointed paladin." Rin didn't have time to wonder what the title of paladin entailed as Sebastian was still speaking the mantra Rin was , Rin finished a sentence and a black shadow seemed to spread from the pool of his blood and form a square shape .Rin shuddered as the familiar scene provoked that particular memory that was still pretty fresh in his mind as it was. The exorcists at the door jumped back in panic as small reddish brown orbs with faces rose from the blackness.
"I'm sorry to interrupt this nice little get-together but we have important business in Gehenna." Sebastian chimed, Rin failing to find the faintest bit of humor in this whole scenario.
"So you're going to betray us, spawn?"He snarled. As the odd guardian-like demons rose from the bubble-like demons and the gate finished forming, Sebastian had Run hooked under his arm and Ciel under the other.
"h-hay! I'm not going to this Gehenna place! Sebastian! I order you to hand over Rin and take us home!" The youngest boy spat, wriggling in his hold and casting a look of pure seething hatred at Rin.
"I am terminating are contract young master, desperate times call for desperate measures." Sebastian whispered just loud enough for Rin to overhear, The smaller boy's face drained of colour and he narrowed his eyes.
"Take one more step and this one dies!" came the paladins voice, Rin looked around and, to his horror, saw the paladin grab a fistful of Yukio's hair, plunging his head back and holding his sword to his back,directly where his heart was. Rin spasmed in Sebastian's arm, desperate to making him loose it a little and his already blazing flames raise a couple of degrees.
"DON'T HURT HIM! IT'S ME YOU WANT!" As he reached his hand towards his twin,time seemed to slow down. As he struggled for release, Sebastian jumped into the gate and the bubble-demons started pulling them down. Undertaker jumped from somewhere from the left and landed a few inches in front of them,cackling and waving at the exorcist before him calling a sing-song 'goodbbbbye', using his scythe to deflect the shower of incoming bullets from the group at the door as he descended. The paladin cried out in rage and drew his sword back, readying his attack. A distantly familiar figure wearing black pants and a hoodie appeared from beyond the door holding an odd looking purple sword with yellow snake-like eyes decorating its sides, The figure made a wild grab for the paladins sword arm and managed to grip his coat. Rin watched in adject terror as the paladin pulled free of his/her grip and plunged the sword forward. A paralyzing sense of dejavu made Rin's struggles seize and his eyes to widen. He watched Yukio and the ghostly image of the old man as he plunged his true cross pendent into his chest. The sword behind Yukio ran through Yukio's frame, its point coated in red as it protruded from his chest. The sword disappeared and Rin watched Yukio and Shiro fall forward, one a distant painful memory, the other the horrifying reality before him. Yukio landed in the gate and the red demons started pulling him down. The last image Rin saw before his mind finally gave out was Yukio's surprised face as he was swallowed by the gate, two other forms jumping from somewhere unseen and landing in the gate and then the blur of red and black as he was submerged into the one way passage leading to hell itself.
