'Yes, yes update! We will see to it, you fail!' What does that mean? You want me to update? That's a little counterproductive to your little 'cause'. Oh well, not my problem. And please, if you're going to try to insult, have better grammar. Did you mean 'We will see to it that you'll fail!' or did you want to tell me that I fail at something? And on that note, fail at what? Updating? You clearly don't know me. I have several backup chapters ready in case of an emergency.
Fans, enjoy a new chapter!
Rin struggled against the moth's tentacles.
"Okumura!" Suguro shouted.
"Rin! Are you alright?" Shiemi asked.
"I'm fine," Rin assured her. "Don't worry about me! I'll catch up with you after I kick this thing's ass! It'll be fine, just go!"
"Just go," Sakura ordered. "Get the lantern back to the camp!"
"You dumbass!" Suguro shouted. "Both of you! You say this is all about teamwork yet the two of you are eager to push us out and handle things yourselves! I'm going to help whether you like it or not!" Suguro held out his hand. "Shima, give me your Kirik."
"Alright, just be careful with it," Shima said, tossing him the staff.
"Everyone else, get ready to run," Suguro ordered.
"Get in the cart, now," Sakura told them. The Exwires jumped onto the cart while Sakura grabbed the front, gripping it tightly. "We're ready! Whatever you're going to do, do it now!" Suguro grabbed one of the seals off the ground and tossed it in the air. He threw the staff at it. The staff caught the paper and stabbed
"Nama sa ta manta va dranum ha mon!" Suguro shouted. The moth demon screeched as it was attacked by a powerful lightning. It let go of Rin and the half-demon fell into the bug swamp. "Come Kirik!" Suguro ordered. The staff flew into his hands.
"That was so awesome," Rin said.
"There's no time for that, hurry up!" Suguro shouted, holding out his hand. Rin grabbed and was pulled onto the shore. "There's nothing more I can do, so run!"
"What happened? I thought you killed it!" Rin shouted, seeing the moth was still moving. It was thrashing around with anger.
"Get on, now!" Sakura shouted. The two jumped onto the cart and Sakura began running, pulling the thing with ease. Thanks to Sakura's speed they had lost the moth in less than a minute.
"What the hell!" Shima shouted in shock. "Seriously! What planet do you guys come from?"
"You're stronger than Rin, and faster," Shiemi gasped in awe.
"How freakishly strong are you?" Suguro shouted at the pinkette.
"Do you want an example?" Sakura asked. "I can destroy a field with just one punch." The Exwires gaped at her statement.
"I told you guys that you hadn't seen anything yet," Rin shouted, a huge grin on his face. "Sakura's way stronger than me!"
"I think we lost it," Konekomaru announced. With that, Sakura dug her heels into the ground and came to a halt. The Exwires braced themselves and jumped off when the cart was completely still. Sakura fell to her knees, breathing heavily.
"Hey sis, you okay?" Rin asked, kneeling next to her.
"Yeah, just give me a minute," Sakura panted.
"I thought you were some kind of superhuman," Suguro muttered.
"Not a superhuman, shinobi," Sakura corrected. "We start training around the time we're six. But I've never gone that speed before, never been able to."
"Then how did you do it?" Shiemi asked. Sakura grabbed her scroll and unrolled it. The Exwires looked at all the different kanji written every few inches.
"Simple, I pumped chakra into my legs to give me more speed," she answered. "But…I've used up to much. A shinobi's chakra is their life source, without it, they die. If they're not in battle, they're left extremely weak." She stopped unrolling and placed her hand on one of the kanji. "Release," she breathed. Smoke poured out of the scroll and a large bottle of pills appeared.
"Did you seal those in there?" Konekomaru asked. Sakura opened the pill bottle and nodded. She shook two into her palm. They were rather large, equaling the size of a pinkie nail. They were dark blue in color.
"Aren't those the pills you take at every meal?" Rin asked.
"Yep, chakra pills, they replenish a shinobi's chakra," Sakura nodded. She tipped her head back and shoved the pills into her mouth. She dry swallowed them and then sealed the bottle back up. The scroll rolled closed on its own and Sakura put it back on her belt.
"Are you going to be okay?" Shima asked.
"I'll be fine in an hour or two," Sakura told her.
"Don't push yourself," Suguro told her.
"Who do you think you're talking to?" Sakura smirked while standing up.
"Hey Suguro, thanks a lot," Rin said.
"I was just paying it back, that's all," Suguro growled.
"For what?" Rin asked.
"I did it because you saved my life before," Suguro answered. "I did it because you want the same thing I do, to defeat Satan. And because you have the guts to admit it in front of everyone."
"Yeah well, I'm a moron so I don't really think twice about saying stuff like that," Rin chuckled.
"I don't think you're a moron," Suguro confessed. "But you're being an idiot if you think that you can take everything on by yourself! You've got friends by your side, don't forget that."
"Couldn't have said it better myself," Shima said.
"You're going to need help if you're going to take on Satan," Konekomaru smiled.
"I'm not that strong, but I've got your back," Shima told him. "But if there are bugs involved, I'm afraid I won't be of much help."
"Rin, we're here for you," Shiemi told him.
"Do you ever go into battle alone?" Sakura said. Rin gaped and looked at his sister. "Well little bro, what's the answer?"
"No, you don't," Rin answered with a soft smile.
"I hate to say it but Shima you were totally useless this time around," Suguro sighed.
"Hey, I did the best I could, all things considering," Shima protested.
"Oh come on, bugs aren't that bad," Shiemi laughed. Rin looked at his friends and smiled sadly.
"I wonder what they'll think of me if they found out who I really was…? What would they do…?"
"Rin," Sakura whispered. She tugged on his wrist and pulled them away. "Don't worry about things like that. A true friend will always have your back, no matter what. If they do find out, then their actions after will speak volumes."
"What if they don't like me anymore?" Rin asked.
"Then they aren't your friends," Sakura answered harshly. Rin gasped and looked at her in shock. "A true friend wouldn't care about where you come from or who you really are. If they disown you, then they're not worth your tears. But if they stand by you, then they are the best friends you could ever have. A true friend won't care about all that bad stuff, they'll only care about the good." She locked their fingers together. "But you'll always have me. And you'll have Yukio too."
"Thanks," Rin smiled.
"Hey, are you two done talking? We've gotta get moving!" Suguro shouted.
"Yeah, we're done," Sakura answered. "Don't lose your stripe; we were just having a little family talk."
"Oh thank god, we're finally back," Shima sighed in relief as they entered the campsite.
"Congrats. Looks like you made it back in one piece," Shura said. She had turned away from Izumo and Takara to greet the group.
"What the hell! How did you finish the mission on your own?" Suguro shouted.
"I just made my familiars do all the work," Izumo answered. "Takara got here before me though."
"It took you this long with that many people? Wow! What a bunch of losers!" Takara said through the puppet.
"Whoa…what is Takara?" Konekomaru muttered.
"Question, where did you find that lantern?" Sakura asked. "Because if you found it away from the cart that was mine."
"Wait, you mean you found one of those lanterns," Shima asked in shock.
"Yeah, I was already carrying it back to the camp when Rin called me," Sakura nodded.
"Hang on, when you say 'carry' do you mean you…" Suguro trailed off, not sure what to think of it. Sakura walked around to the lantern and picked it up by the leg.
"I mean I was carrying it," the pinkette answered. She carried it over to the other two. She set it down with a loud thud. "They're heavy so they make a great weight. I was considering carrying this thing over the bug swamp for you guys but I didn't know how solid the bottom was. I didn't know if I would sink or not."
"You know what every minute you become more and more of a mystery. Just what the hell are you?" Suguro asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know," the pinkette teased. Shiemi hissed and hit the back of her neck.
"You okay?" Rin asked
"Ow…"
"Wait a minute, is this all of you? None of you gave up? Then who set off that bottle rocket?" Shura asked.
"Ouch…" Shiemi whimpered.
"Shiemi?" Rin asked.
"WOOHOO!" The Exwires looked up and saw someone falling out of the sky. Amaimon landed with a thud. A chain was wrapped around his hand and was connected to a harnessed hobgoblin.
"It's him…" Sakura hissed.
"Go Behemoth!" Amaimon shouted, letting go of the demon.
"Don't just stand there!" Shura shouted at the Exwires. "Took him long enough." She put her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly. A snake burst out of the campfire. A magic seal made out of fire surrounded the camp and threw Amaimon and his pet back.
"That absolute barrier should hold him off," Shura muttered, stabbing the earth with her sword.
"An absolute barrier?" Suguro repeated.
"Yep. Everything inside the magic circle is safe while everything outside is repelled," Shura explained.
"That's great, but what's with that guy?" Izumo demanded.
"Yeah, is he a part of our training exercises?" Konekomaru asked.
"Don't you think that guy is a little too strong for us to handle?" Shima added.
"Training is over," Shura announced. She pulled her hair into a bun. "We have to get ready for Amaimon's next attack."
"Do you mean one of the eight kings? The king of earth? That Amaimon?" Izumo asked.
"The very one," Shura confirmed. She picked up a jug of holy water. "And since he's one of the top dogs, you Exwires don't stand a chance of beating him on your own. Gather around, I'm going to give you a dose of triple C concentrated holy water."
"But why-!" Izumo was interrupted as she was soaked with water. "Does he want to fight us?"
"Yeah, is this some kind of-!" Shima braced himself as he was hit with the water. "Some kind of joke?" Shura shook her head and started swinging the jug at Rin and Sakura. She stopped herself and sighed in relief.
"That was close," Shura muttered. "Things would have gotten ugly if I ended up pouring some on you." She splashed the rest of the water on Konekomaru and tossed down the container. She faced them and waved her hand in front of her chest, creating a cross. "In the beginning God created heaven and earth. There, you should be good until that stuff dries. Whatever happens to ya, the damage won't be that bad."
"What about Okumura and Haruno? Aren't you going to splash them with some?" Suguro asked.
"Well ya see, they're kinda…allergic to holy water," Shura said.
"Allergic to holy water? I've never heard of that before," Suguro protested.
"Hey, you can't help what you're allergic to," Sakura shrugged. "But I have a question, where in the hell is Yukio?"
"He was getting in the way so I sent him off," Shura smirked.
"Are you kidding?" Sakura shouted.
"Gah! What the hell!" Izumo shouted, looking at her phone. "I can't get through to any of our emergency contacts!"
"And I can't reach our teachers either," Konekomaru said worriedly.
"Amaimon's some kinda big shot, so what's he doing attacking us?" Suguro shouted.
"Beats me," Shura muttered. She sat down against the cooler and gripped her sword. "I'm wondering the same thing."
"Hey, I don't know why he's doing this, but I know who he's after…me," Rin told her quietly.
"Yeah that's kinda obvious," Shura smirked. "But you don't have to worry all that much. The barrier is strong enough so even a guy like Amaimon is going to have a hard time getting through."
"So we're safe?" Sakura asked. "For the moment at least."
"Well you'll be safe as long as you stay out of his way," Shura clarified. "I don't think he knows who you are yet. He doesn't have any reason to come after you.
"But still, something's different this time," she muttered. "I can't shake the feeling that he's planning something."
"I have the same feeling," Sakura confessed. "Back at the amusement park his action seemed playful, like it was all a game. This time he's brought a strategy."
"If he tries to come after you again, you should take the Koma sword and get the hell away from here," Shura instructed Rin. She placed a hand over her abdomen."From here it descends and to him it shall return." The Koma sword slid out of her tattoo. "Go on, take it." Shura held the sword out for Rin,
"But…I…"
"What's the matter? You wanted it so bad so here it is," Shura cooed, tapping the sword against her own.
"Wait a minute! You said you didn't want me to use my power in front of everyone, don't flame up, remember?" Rin hissed.
"Just shut up already," Shura huffed. "You sparked up even after I warned you. You can't hide anything from me."
"I saw it to," Sakura sighed. "And honestly I'm a little disappointed. It couldn't have been ten minutes and already you were using your powers."
"Listen kid, how do you expect to beat the crap out of him without your powers?" Shura asked. "Amaimon isn't a bottom tiered demon, he's in the big leagues. Stop thinking about it already and take it."
"Rin, if it makes you feel better then I'll go with you," Sakura suggested. She grabbed his hand and smiled at him. "I'll be with you every step of the way. If you unsheathe your sword, then so will I. We'll battle Amaimon together. You don't go into battle alone, remember? I'm your big sis; I'll always be by your side." She placed a hand over her own sword and smiled.
"M-Moriyama, where are you going?" Shima asked. The trio turned to the others and saw Shiemi walking away from them.
"Shiemi!" Rin shouted, trying to catch her attention.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Shura shouted as Shiemi stepped on the lines. "Somebody stop her!" Amaimon dropped down from the trees. He grabbed Shiemi and pulled her against him. Shiemi turned around and laid her head on his shoulder. Shura came to a stop. She held out her blade and stopped Rin from passing her.
"What did you do to her?" Shura shouted.
"Oh, I just had a female Chuchi lay an egg inside of her, that's all," Amaimon answered. He lifted his hand and began stroking Shiemi's hair. "It took a while for it to hatch, but now that the parasite is nibbling on her nervous system this young lady will do whatever I tell her too." He picked Shiemi up and leaped into the air.
"Come back here!" Rin shouted, chasing after him.
"Get back you idiot," Shura shouted at him. Rin came to a stop when Behemoth slid out of its hiding spot. The hobgoblin breathed deeply and growled at Rin. It lunged forward, teeth barred and claws ready. Shura jumped in front of Rin and knocked the demon back with her sword.
"Go get him," She ordered, tossing him his sword. Rin nodded and ran into the forest.
"Okumura!" Suguro shouted.
"Nobody leaves the magic circle for any reason, you got that!" Shura shouted.
"Rin!" Sakura yelled, running after him.
"Hey!" Shura said, reaching out to grab her. Sakura jumped into the trees and kept going.
"Those idiots are doing it again," Suguro hissed.
"Get back here!" Rin shouted. He watched as Amaimon jumped between trees effortlessly. Amaimon stopped his jumping around and settled on one tree branch. Rin came to a stop under him and glared up at him.
"Jeez, you couldn't have slowed down for a moment, I'm still low," Sakura panted, running up beside Rin.
"Sorry," Rin apologized. He turned back to Amaimon and glared at him. "What are you going to do to Shiemi?" Amaimon hummed and looked at the girl sitting lifelessly in his arms.
"I know, I'll make this pretty young girl my wife," Amaimon said.
"You're gonna marry her!?" Sakura exclaimed in shock. Amaimon turned towards Shiemi.
"From this day forward will you be mine, to have and to hold? Will you honor me and cherish me, in sickness and in health? Till death do we part? And will you love me forever and ever until the day you die?" Amaimon questioned, reciting the typical vows. Shiemi nodded numbly in agreement. "Now to seal our vow of eternal love I'll bite your lips," Amaimon said. He moved his mouth closer to Shiemi's.
"Knock it off!" Rin shouted. He jumped at Amaimon, swinging his sheathed sword. Amaimon blocked the attack and growled at him.
"No fair, I was supposed to say that," Amaimon sighed. He flicked Rin back and sent him soaring, crashing through the trees.
"Rin!" Sakura shouted in worry. She turned back to Amaimon and glared. "You'll pay for that!" She jumped at Amaimon, swinging her fists. Amaimon jumped back, avoiding them.
"Why do you always interrupt my play time?" Amaimon asked. "You're a fun toy, but not the one I want. I'll play with you later!" With that Amaimon swung his leg and kicking her in the stomach. Sakura collided with the trees, knocking them over as she flew. Amaimon passed by her, ignoring her in favor of Rin.
"Why won't you draw your sword?" Amaimon asked. "You shouldn't tease me like this." His eyes widened and he spun to the side to avoid a punch from Sakura.
"You should know better than to keep your eyes off of an enemy," the pinkette hissed.
"Those god damn…" Suguro growled, watching the battle from a far. He couldn't even see the three fighters, or the hostage girl, but the fact that Sakura and Rin left to fight Amaimon on their own was seriously pissing him off. Sakura, he could get, she was going to protect her little brother, but Rin had run off not even giving any of them a second glance. He growled and stormed forward, getting closer and closer to the edge of the circle.
"What are you doing?" Izumo shouted, slightly terrified. "We're not supposed to leave the circle!"
"Bon, try to calm down, okay?" Shima suggested nervously, grabbing his shoulder.
"Calm down my ass, you can feed that shit to the dogs," Suguro growled. "Right now I'm so pissed off at those punks that I could explode!" She shrugged Shima off and crossed the circle.
"Ugh! This can't be happening!" Shima shouted, following after Suguro.
"Shima wait!" Konekomaru called. He gulped nervously and steeled his gaze before walking after them.
"Wait! Where are you guys going? You're going to get yourselves killed!" Izumo shouted, trying to stop them. It was no use, the Kyoto Trio disappeared into the forest.
Sakura hit the ground hard enough to create a large crater. She groaned and coughed up blood. Amaimon floated to the edge of the crater and looked at her. Sakura weakly held up her hand, trying to reach him. She groaned and her hand dropped. Her eyes closed and she stilled, the exhaustion of battle finally catching up with her.
"There, that should hold you. I'll play with you later, for now, stay here and don't bother me," the King of Earth ordered. He floated back over to Rin and looked at him. As far as he could tell, his little brother wasn't moving. "Yoo-hoo…" He called, landing in front of him. "Excuse me, but isn't this girl supposed to be important to you? And I just beat up the pink haired girl, aren't you mad about that, either? If they're important to you, why aren't you trying to kill me?"
"Go to hell," Rin groaned weakly. Amaimon sighed and looked at Shiemi.
"Oh well, I guess I don't have any use for her now," Amaimon raised his hand, pointing his sharp claw-like nails at Shiemi's face. "But since she's here, maybe I'll have one of her eyeballs. A cousin of mine has a penchant for the occult. I promised him I would grab a few for his collection. And maybe while I'm at it I'll grab those pretty green eyes of the pink-haired girl, before I kill her."
"Why you…" Rin growled. He grunted as he weakly pushed himself onto his knees. They both paused when a bottle rocket shot past Amaimon with a shriek. They looked over and saw the Kyoto trio.
"Sorry, but we didn't get an invite to the party so we decided to crash it!" Suguro shouted.
"No…get away…" Rin told them.
"Run for it Okumura! We'll keep him distracted!" Konekomaru shouted nervously.
"I-I'm just here to save Moriyama…so yeah," Shima confessed.
"Run! Get out of here!" Rin shouted, standing up. Konekomaru yelped as he accidentally set his rocket on fire. It flew out of his hands and hit Amaimon.
"Uh-oh…" the bald monk gulped.
"What the hell, you hit Moriyama!" Shima whisper yelled. Everyone gaped as the smoke cleared. The rocket had hit Amaimon's hair, causing the tip of the point to puff up, resembling a piece of broccoli. The demon felt the hair and gasped, realizing what had happened. Shima snorted and covered his mouth, trying to keep in his laughter. "Broccoli, it looks just like broccoli." Amaimon heard the laughter and his eyes narrowed dangerously. He appeared in front of the pink haired monk and kicked him in the stomach. Shima flew back and collided with a tree. The Exwires flinched as they heard several sickening cracks.
"Shima!" his friends yelled in horror. Amaimon turned to Suguro and advanced on him. Konekomaru stood in front of his friends and held his arms out. Without sparing him a glance he tapped the bald monk's arms. Konekomaru screamed and fell to the ground in agonizing pain as he felt the bones in his arms twist and break. Amaimon grabbed Suguro's neck and hoisted him up.
"You laughed at me didn't you?" Amaimon growled.
"I could care less about you, you damn weirdo," Suguro told the demon. "The one I'm pissed at is Okumura!" Rin gasped at the declaration. "You act like you don't care and then you go and save someone. I thought you were a loser and then you kick some ass! Just who the hell are you? Why do you go around acting like a he-!" Suguro was cut off as the grip on his throat tightened.
"I don't know what you're going on about," Amaimon growled. "Don't ignore me!"
"STOP!" Rin shouted. He tore the sleeve off of his sword and held it up.
"Rin! Don't do it! It's a trap!" Yukio shouted, running into the battlefield.
"Yukio…I'm sorry," Rin muttered. "I just don't have it in me to keep lying to everyone. So I've decided to use my power for good…for everyone! Get Sakura and get everyone out of here. This isn't going to be pretty." Rin gripped the sword and pulled it out of its sheath. The blade burst into flames instantly. Blue flames covered Rin's body. His ears grew longer and more pointed. His tail flew out from under his shirt and the edge lit on fire.
Amaimon's face broke into a smile and he dropped Suguro and Shiemi. Konekomaru caught the possessed girl, ignoring the pain in his arm.
"Well you wanted me! So come and get me!" Rin shouted. Amaimon let out a cheer and ran towards him. Rin swung his sword and blocked his attacks while countering with his own.
"Holy crap," Shima muttered, limping over to them.
"Is Okumura…what I think he is?" Konekomaru asked in fear.
"The sword," Suguro breathed. "The kurikara."
"Sakura!" Yukio shouted, looking down the crater.
"Teach!" Shima called. "Moriyama has a parasite!"
"Suguro, get Sakura!" Yukio ordered, running over to them. Suguro ran over to the crater and slid down the edge. He scrambled over to the unconscious pinkette. Her body was covered in bruises and blood was dripping down her forehead and arm.
"Hey," Suguro called, shaking her. "Haruno wake up!" Sakura moaned softly and opened her eyes.
"Suguro…?" she whispered, seeing him.
"Come on, we gotta get out of here," Suguro told her. Her picked her up bridal style and stared climbing up the wall.
"Where's Rin?" Sakura asked. "Is he alright?"
"I don't know," Suguro confessed. He pushed her over the edge of the crater and climbed out himself. He picked her up once more and ran over to the others. Yukio had a small medical hook inside of Shiemi's neck, trying to grab the parasite.
"Almost," Yukio hissed, pressing a finger against Shiemi's neck. He hooked onto the bug and pulled it out. "Got it."
"Is everyone okay?" Shura shouted, running up to them.
"Where have you been?" Yukio shouted.
"Well I wasn't sitting around picking at my toes! I was fighting with Amaimon's pet!" Shura shouted. "We gotta bail now! It's not safe here." A flash of blue light lit up the area and they turned to see explosions of blue flames.
"Rin," Sakura gasped. "Rin!" She struggled in Suguro's hold, trying to get free. "Let me go!"
"No way! It's not safe!" Suguro shouted.
"No! I promised him!" Sakura shouted, pushing against his chest. "I promised him we would do it together! Now let me go!" Yukio ran over to his sister and tried to keep her in Suguro's hold.
"How much time do you have left?" He shouted. Sakura paused, her eyes widening. "If you do that your chakra system will get eaten and you'll die!" Sakura stilled and looked up at her brother sadly. "Look, I'm sure Rin doesn't care that you're not fighting with him. He'd want you to live."
"It's happening again," Sakura whispered to herself, laying her head on Suguro's chest. "Why am I so weak?"
"Come on, we gotta go," Yukio said. He grabbed Shiemi and hoisted her onto his back.
Mephisto smirked from his seat in the sky. A luxurious arm chair was floating in the sky, the clown sitting in it, observing the show. She watched as Rin slashed his sword at Amaimon. The King of Earth jumped through the air to avoid each slash.
"On one side of the path are demons, pleasure seekers incapable of anything other than destruction," Mephisto muttered. "On the other are humans, whose vague morality leaves them weak. I wonder…which path will you chose?"
"Unbelievable power!" Amaimon gasped. Rin swung his sword at Amaimon. His older brother grabbed the blade to stop it. "Just like father." Rin growled as he pushed against the sword. Unknown to either of them the blade cracked under the pressure. Rin let out a yell and pushed Amaimon back. The King of Earth screamed in pain as the blue flames covered his body.
Mephisto smiled madly as he slowly clapped. "Good show! I never thought we would overwhelm Amaimon so quickly." His younger brother fell into a tree. Mephisto smirked and took out his hat and held it out. "You've fought enough for today. Time for a good long rest." He raised his umbrella and tapped it against the rim of his top hat. "Ein. Zwei. Drei! Kukan Kuckoo Clock!" A vortex of clouds shot out of the hat and formed a giant clock. The front doors opened and a bird rocketed out. It grabbed Amaimon in its wooden beak and the perch pulled back, pulling the bird and Amaimon into the clock. "Now then-" He was cut off as Rin shot forward and sliced the clock in half, burning it to pieces. Rin was snarling and growling at Mephisto.
"You've been consumed by your flames. My, you are quite the handful, little brother."
"…Rin…" Sakura breathed, glancing at the source of the blue flames. Images of Naruto surrounded by red chakra flashed through her head. Naruto was changed and enraged, transformed by the demon inside of him. "It's happening again." Sakura glanced up at Suguro and narrowed her eyes. She swung her leg up and kicked him in the head, forcing him to drop her. Sakura jumped up and ran towards the flaming forest.
"What the hell?" Suguro shouted, gripping his ear.
"No!" Yukio shouted, watching his sister. "Nee-san! Don't do it! Get back here!"
"Sorry Yukio, but I don't care if I die, I have to save Rin from himself." She gripped the hilt of the sword at her hip and drew it. Blue flames surrounded her instantly and she transformed.
