Chapter 13
'What did you do to her?' Shura yelled as she used her sword to block Rin from attacking. 'Oh, I just had a moth lay an egg in her; it took a while for it to hatch and find her nerves. However now she'll do whatever I say.' Amaimon replied, 'Shiemi!' Rin yelled as Amaimon picked Shiemi up. 'C'mon toots,' Amaimon spoke as he took off with Shiemi. 'Wait, damn you cone-head!' Rin yelled as he charged ahead, 'Rin wait for me!' I cried out, 'hey wait up!' Shura yelled as Amaimon's pet charged towards Rin, luckily Shura saved Rin in time. 'Go, I'll follow!' Shura yelled as she tossed Rin his sword. 'Sakurai go with him!' She added as I nodded following after Rin. 'Okumura, Mira!' Ryuji cried out as I turned around to look at him. 'The rest of you stay inside the shield!' Shura added as she then took off after Amaimon's pet. I was about to continue after Rin when I heard Ryuji call me again, 'Mira what the hell is going on?' I turned to face him, he looked furious, 'Ryuji… please stay here, trust me!' I cried out as I continued to chase after Rin. There was a blast and Rin was sent flying the opposite direction, I quickly summoned my sword and followed after him. 'Rin!' I cried out as Amaimon turned to face me. 'Mira get out of here, he is too strong!' Rin yelled back. 'Oh so you are Mira, big brother made me promise not to kill you but if you get in my way I may just break it.' Amaimon replied, 'you mean… Mephy… damn it to hell!' I cried out as I charged towards him. 'You idiot!' Rin yelled as Amaimon froze in front of me as he gestured towards Shiemi. 'You come any closer and I will kill this girl right here.' He replied, 'you bastard!' I shouted as I felt my heart break. How could Mephisto do this, he must be the one behind this attack. Suddenly a firework flew past me and close to Amaimon. I turned around to see Ryuji, Renzou and Koneko.
'The rest of us don't matter huh? C'mon let's play!' Ryuji shouted, 'no dumbass!' Rin cried out, 'Ryuji get out of here you don't stand a chance!' I shouted, 'what are you talking about? Okumura, Mira get out of here I will distract him!' Ryuji replied, 'I have to save Moriyama!' Renzou added, 'Mira is right get the hell out of here!' Rin continued to yell; just then another firework flew forward. It looked as though Koneko lit his by accident; it ended up hitting Amaimon in the head, which turned the point on his hair in to a puffball. Everyone froze as Renzou burst our laughing, 'it looks like broccoli!' He spoke, 'Shima…' Ryuji replied, as Amaimon quickly appeared in front of him and kicked him, sending him flying into a tree. 'Shima!' Ryuji and Koneko cried out, 'Renzou!' I ran towards him as I checked to see if he broke anything. Amaimon then appeared in front of Ryuji, 'Ryuji!' I cried out as I ran towards him. Koneko ended up protecting him as he got attacked in the arm. 'Gaaaah,' Koneko cried out, 'Konekomaru!' Both Ryuji and cried out as Amaimon lifted Ryuji up by the neck. 'Ryuji hang on!' I yelled as I summoned my sword again as I attempted to slash through Amaimon's arm. In doing so he dropped Ryuji and I stood in front of him. 'I don't care about you, I'm mad at Okumura. First you act selfish but then you help someone. You look incompetent but then you kick ass, just who are you?' Ryuji cried out. 'I don't like to be ignored!' Amaimon yelled as I kept my sword aimed at him. 'Look here half demon… back down I am warning you!' Amaimon shouted at me. 'Half demon?' Ryuji questioned as my heart froze, 'I may have demon blood but that doesn't make me like you! I will protect my friends and I won't let you hurt Rin!' I cried out as Amaimon sent my sword flying and kicked me sending me flying backwards. I ended up slamming against a tree as I coughed up some blood. 'Mira!' Ryuji and Rin both cried out, 'stop it!' Rin cried as he started to pull out his sword. 'It's a trap don't fall for it!' Yukio yelled as he ran up to us, 'Rin, please don't!' I cried as I held onto my chest. 'Sorry Yukio, Mira but I can't keep lying!' Rin replied as he pulled out his sword releasing his flames. Amaimon dropped Shiemi as Koneko caught her, everyone then turned to Rin in shock. 'C'mon it's me you want!' Rin yelled as Amaimon charged after him, looking quite excited.
'What's going on?' Izumo cried out, 'is everyone alright?' Yukio yelled as he ran up to us, 'Mr. Okumura what is going on with your brother?' Koneko questioned, 'I will explain later, right now let's get out of here!' Yukio replied, Shura then arrived. I felt my eyes get heavy, it seems as though I cracked a few of my ribs. I wasn't really aware of what was going on, 'Sakurai come on get up!' Shura spoke as she held out her hand and helped me up. We all headed away from the commotion. Ryuji ended up carrying me, though he wouldn't look me in the eyes. When we all came to a stop Shiemi had woken up and got down off of Yukio's back. Yukio then turned to Shura with a pissed look, 'you lured me away knowing this would happen! You said you would keep Rin's sword, and this is what happens!' Yukio cried out, 'don't blow a fuse four-eyes.' Shura replied, 'what's going on with Rin? Please explain!' Shiemi cried out, 'all that blue fire puts me in the mind of that night!' We all heard a voice speak, we all looked up to see a man with long blonde hair standing on the tower. 'Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I am Arthur Auguste Angel, a senior Exorcist First Class from Vatican Headquarters.' He spoke as he turned to smile at us, 'he's the new Paladin…' Shura spoke with a tone that stated she wasn't too fond of him. Everyone was shocked; 'I am also your direct superior Shura.' He smiled as Shura glared back, 'what exactly is going on here? Weren't you supposed to investigate and report on Fujimoto and Mephisto's secret plot?' He questioned as I froze, 'Mephy?' I questioned as Ryuji let me down. 'Yeah but you've got other spies here don't you?' Shura replied, 'yes but there was more to your mission…' Angel added, as Mephisto and Rin appeared in a puff of smoke.
Rin was out of control and Mephisto was dragging him closer to us. 'Rin, Mephy!' I cried out as I ran forward and then froze as Rin had completely turned. 'Hi there long time no see Angel, congratulations on becoming Paladin.' Mephisto spoke as he continued to drag a ferocious Rin, 'if what you found had anything to do with Satan… you were to exterminate it immediately. Shura wouldn't you say this blue flame spewing beast has something to do with Satan?' Angel questioned as tears streamed down my face. 'Rin!' I cried as Mephy turned to face me, 'stay back princess I will handle this.' Mephy smiled as he closed Rin's sword sealing the flames. 'Mephisto, you've finally shown your tail. Words of your disloyalty has even reached the Grigori, and this incident proves it.' Angel commented, 'I'm not showing my tail, what a rude thing to say to a gentleman.' Mephy replied. Before anyone could move Angel had grabbed Rin and aimed his sword at his neck. 'The order's top three advisers, the Grigori have ordered the death of Satan's bastard!' Angel yelled, 'no stop please!' I cried as I ran forward as Shura quickly deflected his sword in order to protect Rin. The two of them started to fight as I ran to Rin and pulled him into a tight hug as tears streamed down my face. 'Mira… I'm sorry I just…' Rin spoke as I placed my hand on the side of his face and smiled. 'You did it to protect your friends… it's okay I wont leave you!' I continued to cry as I brought my forehead to Rin's.
'That was a message from the Grigori; Mephisto is to undergo immediate questioning. The boy will serve as evidence.' Angel stated as he grabbed Rin pulling him from my arms. 'Hey wait a sec!' I cried out as he turned to me with a confused look. 'Sounds like fun!' Mephy replied, 'Shura you're a witness. Bourguignon escort the Exwires.' Angel added, 'I'll take them, I am their teacher.' Yukio cut in, Rin and I then turned to look at the others. 'Is everyone alright?' Rin asked, 'what's the child of Satan doing at a school for exorcists?' Ryuji cried out, 'Ryuji calm down it's not a big deal!' I shouted back as Ryuji looked at me with a shocked yet ticked look. 'How could you not tell me Mira? Not only are you a half demon but also you knew Rin was the son of Satan and you are acting like there is nothing wrong with it! I trusted you; I thought we were closer then that. How could you keep all this from me?' He yelled as my heart sank, he then turned away and walked off with the others. 'Shiemi you're not hurt are you? What's the matter?' Rin questioned as Shiemi continued to stare, 'Suguro's overreacting, and I'm basically a regular guy, not convinced haha!' Rin laughed as tears streamed down her face. 'Why are you laughing? There is nothing funny about this!' She continued to cry as Yukio pulled her away as Angel did the same to Rin. His heart looked broken, I reached out for him when Mephisto got in between us. 'Princess for now head to the infirmary.' Mephy smiled as tears streamed down my face. 'How… how could you do this Mephy? Everything is your fault, I hate you!' I cried out as I ran the other way. I continued to cry as I stopped in front of a door, I used one of the keys Mephy had given me as I opened it and ran through. I was in the temple I grew up in, far in the mountains. 'Mom… I'm home…' I cried as I collapsed on the floor. I ended up staying here for the next while, I just couldn't return… not now.
