Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga
By Tayla Drago
Episode # 5 – Mysterious Connections
Phase # 5 – Discovering
There are so many things to see and look around in this new world of Assiah. Much better than Gehenna, if I do say so myself. There are happy looking humans with little ones, old ones, and young ones making their lives to live in to the fullest. Very touching to see…Placing to go to when buy things like food, drinks, things to buy from clothing, items, new animals to give them good homes, or things to play with for the young ones, and so much more to make a living and to live in homes; for I have seen so much in one day since I've arrive and I'm already loving every moment of it all that I can't stop talking about it. Still, it makes me wonder if my new life here would allow me to see her again and then for us to start a new life together when we do. I wonder…? Oh! Wait now…Is that...? It is! It must be her! At long last since the last time we met during that battle, I have finally come back for you. My love…
And…Scene!
And the plot keeps on thickening from then on, doesn't it? Poor Kiyomi. As Zuku and Kuro felt bad for her that Rin had to be isolated for a while for almost 'but didn't that time' from losing control of his blue flames because of Bon's fight with his father Tatsuma for not spending time with his own son or telling him anything or what's going on…No kidding! And with Mamushi being the traitor and steals the Right Eye of Impure King to make her escape of her own choosing of denial and helps both Todo to look up to and the Shadow King, things were starting to get much worse from here on out. Also, here's what happened while Rin's being carried away and Kiyomi was upset for Bon to watch her back…
"(Rin…Please be all right, I'll be with you soon.)" said Kiyomi.
As Kuro stood by the out cold Rin's side, while Yaozo tells his son Juzo to watch on Tatsuma without being followed and less worrying about Rin's powers for now. Sort of good…?
"Juzo!" Yaozo talks to him while Uwabami aids the man.
"Dad, those flames and shadow powers were-!" But his father stops Juzo before he could finish talking.
"We need to focus on locating the Right Eye right now and stop the Shadow King." he whispers something to his son. "Listen, I want you to tail Master Tatsuma. Whatever you do, make sure he doesn't see you."
Looks like Juzo might know that something else was going on with Tatsuma's behavior lately.
"The Master?" Juzo question his father.
Whatever it is, he must be doing to be something very important to still be on the good side, right? Talk about a punch coming from Rin and his flames didn't hurt or burn him at all.
"Bon?" Kiyomi checks on his cheek.
"I'm…" he was being shy again. "I'm fine, really."
Speaking of Tatsuma, he had something to say to Shura.
"Miss Kirigakure, are you Rin's guardian? And Kiyomi's half older sister?"
"Hm?" she turns around. But it looks like Tatsuma was not only odd and mysterious…He was also a pervert to be rubbing his hand on Shura's butt.
"Nice tush!" he said to be liking it.
Oh, boy…This got Shura all mad.
"Hands off! And don't you think about doing the same to my sister!"
As Shura was about to kick some sense into Tatsuma, he just jumps away in time like it was nothing to him. This surprises her and Kiyomi to stop crying a little.
"Ah…What just happen?" ask Kiyomi to be cleaning her face up.
"Everything will be okay with your boyfriend, Ms. Saki. I promise." said Tatsuma to be smiling. "And please, look after Rin, you hear?
Okay…? Shura then felt something sticking out of her pockets of her shorts, a letter for Tatsuma place to ask her to give to Rin and then he just left and for Kuro couldn't find him anywhere.
"Where did he go?" the cat demon looked around.
Shura then tells Kiyomi something before Bon takes her out of the room to rest for a while.
"You heard the old fart, Kiyomi. Rin will be fine, so rest up until later. I'll make sure of it or die trying."
Bon helps Kiyomi out for she tries talking to her.
"But, Shura-!"
"No, you rest." she said. "I mean it. Suguro, you and the others look after her if you must from any other Shadow Demon attacks. Please. We had three to deal with for one day."
"Okay, let's go, Saki." said Bon.
Off they went for Kiyomi hopes for the best, and Zuku too to be watching and hearing all of this to wish to do something more than being trapped. Shura then gets a call from Yukio for he and his team were doing any better, but no luck in finding the Left Eye since the Right Eye has been stolen.
"Shura here." she answers her cell phone. "Oh, is that you, Yukio? Where the heck have you been? Did you get he Left Eye back? Huh? How are things here?" Shura repeats Yukio's question. "Well, we've had a bit of a situation here."
Looks like now Yukio and his team will be at the temple of the village real soon for Shura to fill him in on everything that has happened so far today. Now with this new mess to be going on and then hearing from Shura about Rin's case and Kiyomi's to be the granddaughter of the Shadow King to be their enemy 'she feels bad for locking up her sister's boyfriend for the time being', for Bon to take care of her for the night. Oh, boy…And he really likes her a lot!
"Ah, Saki, hey…" Bon offers Minako some food and drinks to have. "Come on. Try eating something light. Have this peach."
Kiyomi tries calming herself down for she does need to eat something before bed.
"Rin…" she was upset.
"Come on. Okumura will be fine, just eat up."
And so, she does and drink some water too.
"Thank you, Bon."
"That a girl." Bon's face was blushing. "You…better take a shower. Get going."
So Kiyomi does that to have a good one to then being in her P.J.'s too, and lies down in bed for Bon was still trying to cheer her up as Zuku wishes her the best of luck to get better. She likes her master to be happy and her cheerful self than she was upset and sad to worry about Rin a lot.
"Oh, Rin. Please be okay…" said the sad Kiyomi. "God, this is so hard."
Bon got out a painting to put something on Kiyomi's back out of nowhere.
"Hold still."
"Hey!" shock Kiyomi up. "Bon!"
"Would you relax? I need to put something on you, because of the curse within." he explains. "This is a spell to control your inner powers to go haywire. Listen, my people hate the Shadow King being their number one enemy which try destroying this village to try investigating you since you're related to that damn thing to be his granddaughter; and since he's after you to losing control and Zuku is unable to do anything but to be some shard prisoner thing…So you know…" Bon had trouble talking. "Just let me fix you up!"
Kiyomi sees Bon was telling the truth to allow for him to do that.
"Really? Okay, you can. Will this stop the pain?"
"It can slow the shadow powers of yours down." Bon said. "In case everything goes crazy within your body, it cools off everything from your blood. As I make the marking spells by using body paint, I'll chant some words to be spread through your body to last long until the curse has been remove. So, hold still for me." Bon begins saying some lines to complete the spell, with one hand on Kiyomi's back to get it to go within her body to hold off the curse to ever happen until it's been remove soon. The spell has been done.
"Well, that was easy." she said. "I hope this holds it off within me."
"It will, no need for thanks. I…just felt like…after what you and Okumura said, so whatever."
From the words that Rin said to Bon to care about his father Tatsuma.
"Oh yeah…Thanks again, Bon."
"It's fine." he said to her. "Just go to bed and get some rest if you have to, and I'll be in the other room to keep watch if those Shadow Demons come after you again."
Once Bon leaves the room to get some sleep himself and be on alert for protecting Kiyomi, she gets some rest for Zuku to do the same thing too. She tries to do so as she hopes for Rin will be okay to see again later for crying won't do her any good to not live without her boyfriend/husband so she needs to be strong.
"Alright. Good night, Bon. Sleep well." she said to lie in bed. "(Rin, please be okay. I know Shura had to isolate you for a now, but I will come back for you. You would do the same for me…But I'll do it without seeing you get into any trouble. We're met to be together. I just know it…From your training and removing my curse, we can overcome this.)"
Kiyomi falls fast asleep for Bon sees it happening to keep her warm in bed. While placing a blanket around her body, he couldn't stop staring at her beauty to be touching her hair gently to really like this feeling.
"(Saki…Keep being yourself, because I'm here for you if Okumura's not. I don't want to see you cry and suffer like you are now.)" Bon was close in kissing Kiyomi on the lips to be hit by accident by her arm hitting him. "(Ouch! Damn it…! She's strong, but…I brought this upon myself, I still want to protect Saki, thank you for cheering me up about my Dad and me. So yeah, good night. I guess.)"
So much for that, huh? But at least it didn't happen for Bon to keep watch in the other room and Kiyomi has been sleeping well for a while tonight 'at least until she does so after training for Kiyomi had trouble sleeping', and as much as she can get while still upset from everything else. Okay, okay…Well, Yukio and his team arrived for Shura to meet up with him and the others. Talk about a long day, huh? As well, as Mamushi was really going through all this trouble to aid Todo and the Shadow Demon armies to bring the Right Eye with the Left Eye at some location…It was affecting her body very badly! While Poka summons another member to carry out the task for their master the Shadow King being a Shadow Demon type of wolf with a lot of them following their leader – known as Mifo, the Shadow Wolf for this one barely talks but growls a lot like other wolves do.
"Mifo! Come!" said the annoying Shadow Demon Poka. "Poka has message from Master! Master wishes for you and friends of yours to do task. Go find and bring half breed granddaughter of Master's alive and Spawn of Satan brothers by force if must. Got it?"
Mifo barks as the other howls to understand their task that they must do.
"Yes…" Mifo spoke a little and to be drooling too.
"Good. Do it now!" Poka continues with the other task at hand. "Poka got eye with Todo being and Snake Girl, Mifo do other one."
And so, off Mifo and a lot of Shadow Wolves run off into the village while Poka takes Todo and Mamushi somewhere with the eye right away. As Yaozo ask Yukio, Uwabami, Shura, Chelsea Applebee, and a few other exorcist members and monk members too as they all gathered up to a small meeting on what's been going on lately was a crazy night; not to mention of Todo leading Yukio and his team on the wrong trail that had two other member's bodies rotten up in the car 'being decoys' and already dead. Ouch…! So much for getting the Left Eye of the Impure King back, it was too late. Not to mention ruining the commutation as well.
"I still can't believe both the Left and Right Eyes are-!" Yaozo coughs again badly from the injury he had.
"Master!" Uwabami helped him out.
Also, there was one thing Yukio also needed to ask to Yaozo about the two eyes which were now stolen…
"What will happen when the Left and Right Eyes of the Impure King are brought together?"
At least Yaozo was strong enough to tell him and the others all about it. 'For little did they know, the old man from earlier was listening in'…Just who was he? Anyways, the answer please.
"For more than 150 years, the Myoda Sect has kept secrets within secrets."
"Secrets within secrets?" Yukio repeated.
What does that mean?
"The only ones who knows and safeguards all of our secrets are the leader of our sect, high priest Tatsuma Suguro." said Yaozo with a lot more to say about this whole thing. "However, there is a secret that is divulged to those of us in the upper ranks."
Yukio looked interested all sudden when he hears about this next part.
"Which is?" he asks Yaozo.
"According to 'On the Impure King,' which is passed down among the upper priest rank alone, it's said that when his left and right eyes are united, an even more miasma will be released."
A powerful miasma if those two eyes are as one powerful weapon? Not good…No wonder why the Shadow King wants it for revenge against everyone human in Assiah to go into war again.
"An even more potent miasma…" surprised Shura.
"I don't believe it." same with Yukio too. "Both Todo and the Shadow King's objective is too…"
Yep, whatever it was to be bad from those two working together for those powers and getting to Kiyomi to be cursed as well, and having Yukio and Rin for some reason as well.
"So that's why the Shadow King is after his own granddaughter Kiyomi for power after cursing her by Todo's doing. Also, since he and Satan work together to overwhelm both Yukio here and his brother Rin because of the power…" Shura said. "From the shadow triple sister group getting to use their weapons to train their powers and me helping them out to stop us while they…It was a set up. As for the two eyes becoming one powerful weapon, I mean I really don't know how powerful this stuff will be, but it still sounds bad."
Yeah, Shura only told Yukio so far about them fearing the Shadow King as they worse enemy for centuries now and him going after Kiyomi for Todo curse her and Zuku for that reason, as well as both him and Rin were also wanted by the mad demon too.
"Is that true?" ask Yukio. "Who knew he would go through this much to attack us in this village, and put innocent lives in danger…!"
No kidding! I would get mad too if it was happening to me and my friend, family, and love ones as well.
"Tell me about it." she agrees with Yukio on that part. "But we won't give up and free Kiyomi from the curse yet without the inner bad shadow powers of the demon within her go crazy. Count on it!" Shura sounded serious there. "This might be more than the Order of the True Cross can handle by itself. Is this true why you all fear of Kiyomi Saki's powers because of this mess and the curse?"
The people nodded for the exorcists were shock, though sad to hear for they like Kiyomi as a kind person…To worry more about the two eyes to get back and the power to stop besides finding out about Rin had the power of Satan with the Blue Flames showing up close.
"Afraid so…" Yaozo says it.
"It's true." and Uwabami. "Please forgive us. We like the girl very much, but between her curse of her powers and her boyfriend's…"
Getting back to the matter at hand.
"Yeah, yeah, I see your point." said Shura to drop the other subject for now. "(Damn it all…! Kiyomi…)" she was really worried of her sister this upset. "In any case, I'd say our priority is to find Todo, Hojyo, the Shadow King, and his goons."
"And to free Kiyomi from the curse before things get out of hand." Yukio said.
Yaozo also says this about the matter at hand too.
"About that…We're currently searching the most likely places, but as they vanished into thin air, we had no luck picking up their trail."
Uwabami says something next.
"To prepare for the worst, I believe we should request assistance from the Doctors as well as the other divisions."
That could work, for Yukio still fears for the worse might happen if this isn't taken care of quickly in time. For he knows both Todo and the Shadow King are planning something else with the eyes to use. I mean, remember what Todo said to Yukio the first time they meant? Something about him being like he was back then to come crawling to him later soon enough. What did Todo mean by that? Todo has two of the eyes of the Impure King to use to release a very powerful miasma, he knows there's a lot more to it and want nothing more than to protect Kiyomi too through this whole mess…Yukio wishes he would've saved her from Todo injecting her from the curse in the first place, but was too late in doing so and blames himself for it. Then Shura talks to Yukio privately from the other members about Rin on what he 'kind of did'. As for the strange old man in clothing, he takes off for Yukio saw him for a few seconds too late.
"(Who…Who was that just now?)" he questions himself.
"Hey, Yukio." Shura whispers to him. "So, about the situation I mentioned earlier."
The two moved somewhere else in the room to talk.
"What is it?" Yukio asks her. "I know I should've protected Kiyomi when I had a chance when Todo jumped on her, but I failed…You, Rin, and her stopped the first three of the Shadow King's armies with more of them coming. And with the weapons those two are using, that's good to control their powers with them. We will free Kiyomi and Zuku soon enough."
"Yeah, but that's not it."
"What else happened then?" he asked.
"Well, um…" she had trouble saying it.
Yukio knew this was about Rin doing something 'kind of' bad today from the sound of it.
"Is it about my brother?" This surprises Shura for Yukio took a lucky guess there to be laughing about it.
"Sharp as always!"
"What did he do this time?" ask Yukio. "Did Kiyomi…?"
"Kiyomi almost lost control, but the others and Rin aided her just in time. She's fine and resting up right now. Suguro's got her back. Other than she kind of lost it to almost show the bad powers coming out to be crying…" Shura says the bad news. "This made Rin mad to see his girlfriend was sad, then flared up, and everybody saw it."
Yep, Yukio got mad to be tightening his fist for Shura to see this part coming.
"That idiot!" angered Yukio to then calming himself down. "Alright. Where is he now?"
Guess those two will be seeing Rin soon enough downstairs at the Solitary Confinement of Block 1 where Rin was still out cold and lying on the floor in his cell room. Waking up a little to look upset and worried about Kiyomi so much to feel sad for not having his woman by his side right now to be saying Kiyomi's name a lot in sadness.
"(Kiyomi…Kiyomi…Kiyomi…)" Not just that, Rin also remembers a few things. From when he and Kiyomi see the Kuma Sword for the first time for Shiro gives it to Rin to hold on to and opens it up to show his true demon powers within him, for Rin has been warned after all when Shiro said all of this to him. Everything! That changed his life forever after that and Kiyomi's too for her to get into it all. Keeping it a secret, he had to show it to Bon, Shima, Miwa, and the others too for saving them from Amaimon's dirty trick and Kiyomi's life was in danger to learn the truth…Almost losing it too from burning the forest when that demon left a crack on the sword to get fix in time thanks to Y-Kun's help. Though was given a second chance to train his blue flames to be under control in six months by the True Cross or else die by their hands 'to win the trust of his friends again' and Kiyomi by his side. The court was something else for them and stopping Amaimon's another rampage too and Mephisto hitting on Kiyomi, it was a good sign. Only the beginning of the hard times! Getting mad from the courtroom 'which he would've said but didn't' let it out in his head to release the anger. "Shut up!" he said. "All your yammering is getting on my nerves! You go around labeling people…Like Kiyomi and Zuku too…! I'm not a weapon or a demon king or anybody's savior! I'm Rin Okumura! And with the love of my life Kiyomi Saki by my side, I'm gonna be the most powerful exorcist ever one day! Both Kiyomi and me!" Rin was burning up with passion within his head to image it was happening for real but it wasn't. "And don't you bastards forget it!"
I hope Rin will be okay…For he kept on calling out to Kiyomi to leave out one message for her to sense out in her sleep.
"Rin…" she was half awake and confused.
"Kiyomi?" he felt her out. "Listen to me, Kiyomi! I'll be fine! You just worry about yourself because of the damn curse! I'll get out of here soon enough, got it!?"
Kiyomi tries to be brave for him to still feel upset though.
"But, Rin…"
"Hey! I mean it!" Rin sounded serious there for their love will keep the two of them strong even when they're apart for the time being.
"Okay…? I believe in you then…" Kiyomi believes in her man.
"Sorry…" he felt silly and then smiles. "So don't worry about me. I'll come right back when I...Whatever those people here will say to me next, hopefully it won't be as bad. Just wait for me. And don't cry, I don't want you to worry about me in tears, Kiyomi, be strong. I love you so much." Rin touches Kiyomi's face to feel his warmth already.
"I will."
"Good. Then I'll be back before you know it, or call me if you need some cheering up to do. It keeps me going. Later!"
Seems like now Rin will be fine to feel out that Kiyomi will be just fine now, soon she wakes up from that dream to feel real as Zuku felt it as well.
"Oh, Rin-!" Kiyomi wakes up. "Rin…? I knew it was you. It felt so real…Didn't it, Zuku?" Zuku nodded a lot there. With Kiyomi was sleeping for at least five hours now, she couldn't go back to sleep and gets up to have a drink a water quick while Bon was fast asleep though. Couldn't stay up for too long, couldn't he? With Kiyomi drinking up and was feeling a bit better now to get some fresh air outside, someone makes a scene for her to feel out and see. The strange old man she helped a while ago…? "(Hey, isn't that…?)" she tries calling out to him. "Excuse me! Please wait!" But he takes off to feel like he feared something to understand Kiyomi's pain for her to see that in his eyes. "What was that all about…?" Then Kiyomi felt someone else close to be hearing his voice.
"Long time no see, Kiyomi my sweet." said Mephisto.
Yep, he makes his appearances just for 'his' Kiyomi to pay her a visit from the curse she was in. Like she and Zuku were so happy to be seeing this pervert again.
"Mephisto!?" she was surprised to see him.
He comes flying down with his umbrella to be floating gently.
"The one and only! Did you miss me?"
"Not really…" Kiyomi was freaking out. "Shouldn't you be back at True Cross to watch over your students, teachers, or something?"
"But I am! Well, you guys. I heard what happened to your poor Rin Okumura, but I do feel his pain from his friend Suguro. He and daddy dreariest aren't getting along so well, aren't they? How sad." Mephisto already knows on what else's that's been happening lately.
"(That was fast!)" surprise both her and Zuku. "So? What of it? We're doing our best to be training, get rid of my curse, stop the Shadow King and his men, get the eyes back somehow, and…Well, I'm waiting for Rin to return to me like he promised me he would."
"How do you know that?" he asks her.
"Well, I…I felt him out! That's how!"
Zuku pointed at Mephisto to be saying it too, for Mephisto throws the necklace of the trap familiar aside on the ground and off Kiyomi's neck.
"Boring!" he pushes Zuku aside. "The couples are talking, little one, so sit back in the corner."
Zuku wasn't so happy on that part.
"Zuku!" this made Kiyomi mad. "Hey-!"
But Mephisto point his finger out to move back and forth in Kiyomi's face.
"Hold it…! Don't want your out of control powers due to your curse gets crazier again, right? Try easing up on the anger issue for the time being, my dear."
So Kiyomi does.
"(Crap! He's right!) Ah!" Mephisto tries making his move on Kiyomi by laces his hands on her two giant breasts to move around a lot, she hated that but Rin to be doing it to her instead.
"My, me! So soft! Round! Smooth! And bouncy!" Mephisto was loving it. "I wish I was your pretend husband to soon marry you, Kiyomi. Just you and me…"
Kiyomi couldn't use her powers, but she could fight by head butting Mephisto's face hard with her to move up hard to let her go.
"I rather look like a skinny old lady than to be married with the likes of you, pervert!" she said in anger.
Mephisto just laughs.
"Pushy, aren't we…?"
"What if I am!?"
"Okay, okay, I came here to tell you something else important besides tease you. Just you and me only…" he said to be floating in the air next. "No one knows I'm here right now, well...Maybe you do, Kiyomi, but that's fine."
Kiyomi and Zuku were ready to hear Mephisto to get to the point already…
"And what's that you wish to talk about with me?" she asked. "(And why me of all people instead of Yukio or Shura?)"
"Okay then!" he says it. "I'll get to big scoop...The Shadow King wants both Yukio and Rin for their powers of Satan to give his army of other bad Shadow Demons tons of energy in this war, besides the whole Impure King's eyes; and your powers to harness with the powers of the curse that'll show your most inner demon energy to be unlocked by the traitor Todo's dirty doings is only the main course. For a half breed like yourself, your grandfather didn't like your mother Kagome, to despite his only son Kazu even more because of this to hate you, but…Not anymore to think you're a real cutey. With the powers of Rin and Yukio's blue flames with or without blood, yours too, and the two eyes giving out powerful miasma it'll create and unleash a powerful demon compare to the Shadow King himself who once rule this world before time began centuries ago, one of the first powerful Shadow Demons who almost destroyed Assiah to ruled over Gehenna to be release again after sealing the deal! I'm talking about…The Shadow Queen! Nothing related to your grandfather to be his great, great ancestor."
The Shadow Queen? Great, this is something new Mephisto had to say all of this to Kiyomi or Zuku don't know about for she sounded like bad news already to be first Shadow Demon back then to be seal and might be set free to try ruling the world again.
"Wait…The Shadow Queen?" Kiyomi was confused. "Hold on, Mephisto! Don't tell me this is another enemy that Rin, myself, or the others don't know about yet!"
"You could say that…" he knew Kiyomi would say this to Mephisto to not be an idiot about it.
"Please tell us who this evil demon is!" Kiyomi demanded to know.
Mephisto just laughs to stroking Kiyomi's face to keep his mouth shut about it.
"Sorry, but I can't do that."
"Can't do what!?" Kiyomi as mad again.
"Settle down, my dear." he said. "Look, I will tell you everything that you and the others need to know about this demon. But only if you and Rin do one task for me."
A task they must do…?
"What kind of task?" ask Kiyomi.
"Well, I was asking for a kiss…" Mephisto teases Kiyomi again. "But the task is this. Go within this village buried in deeper, somewhere here to know all about the Shadow Demons' history. All of it. Learn it's background to know what you seek right in front of you two, and by the power of love changing within the flames…Well, only from within the heart can tell you the answers. And free you from the curse, Kiyomi."
Seems to be telling the truth coming from Mephisto's mouth for Kiyomi to try knowing the rest on her and Rin's end.
"Is that it?"
"That's it." Mephisto takes off by flying with his umbrella again. "Well, I hate to leave for our love, but I have so much work to do…But I'll be back to check on you and see if you two find the answers soon enough. Love you. Take care of yourself! And TTFN!"
"Ah…Ta, ta, for now?" Kiyomi took a big guess there. "Whatever."
He just laughs while flying off with the air like Marry Poppins.
"Kisses and love will always be thinking about you, Kiyomi!"
"O, shut it!" she said. Mephisto takes off for he'll be back real soon…Leaving Kiyomi to feel a bit better to learn this part on what she, Rin, and hopefully the others will find the others of the Myoda Sect's darker secrets soon enough. For now, she gets Zuku back to wear and keep for her to clear her mind a bit longer. "(Find the answers from below both Rin and I to follow our hearts for the answers. All of this to learn more about this Shadow Queen? This is so much to be doing at the time like this…)"
No kidding! As Shura and Yukio were headed down stairs where Rin was being isolated in, knowing all this training from the True Cross was hard work for Yukio to protect his older brother as promise to Shiro's grave no matter what happens. While Izumo 'was in her komodo' to check on Shiemi to be working hard after they talk to each other; as well as to aid Yukio and Rin out no matter what from the danger they were in without her knowing about it, even Kiyomi to be cursed and hopes for her friend to get better soon enough. As well as feeling the earthquake but Shiemi to be working hard – Izumo then notice something about caring about Rin and Kiyomi were in love to be good friends with them, as she and Yukio really like each other more than just being friends.
"Wait… Are you saying that you and Mr. Okumura are…?"
As Bon wakes up to see Kiyomi was out of her room, he freaks out.
"(Ah, crap! Saki had to leave at a time like this-!)" Bon was feeling the pain on his face where he was punch at. "(Damn it…! Better heal this wound first, and then find Saki right away. But I should get some help from the others.)"
And so, he does…As Shima and Miwa that Bon runs into them as they come in the room to see Shiemi and Izumo were together to catch them by surprise.
"Excuse me!" Miwa felt silly scaring the girls. "Sorry about that."
Shima was liking Izumo's look.
"Izumo! You look awesome in that yukata!"
"Moriyama! Bon's been hurt, so could you find some ice?" Miwa asks her.
She does her best to be helping her friends out.
"O-Of course!" Shiemi w shock on what she just heard. "He's hurt!?"
With Bon coming in the room to get some ice on his face 'thanks to Shiemi's help to be sitting there and looked upset' as Shima, Miwa, Izumo, and Shiemi sees he wasn't himself today.
"I need your help finding Saki…Please help me." Bon begged of them.
So Izumo had to ask this question to Bon.
"Fine, what happened?"
"The Right Eye's been stolen from the field office." Bon said to sound upset about it.
This shock the other four to be hearing the bad news.
"No way!" shock Izumo. "That can't be!"
"Also…Saki's curse is getting worse for the others to learn about her being related to the Shadow King, they fear of her powers to be losing it." Bon had more to say to be more bad news. "And Okumura's been taken into custody."
Another shocker for the four to hear.
"Hot Saki under house arrest and Okumura's in custody!?" Shima was shock as well.
It was true for Bon felt bad for Rin now and was more worried about Kiyomi.
"When Saki got upset, he flared up and everybody saw it."
Well, if Bon and Tatsuma didn't have a bad fight of father and son not getting along to say mean things made Kiyomi upset…It was the only reason why Rin flare up to not hurt anyone but his secret to get out. And so was Kiyomi as well.
"Th-Then…Where's Okumura?" Miwa asks Bon. "I'm sure Saki's is unharmed somewhere in this place, but what about him?"
"In the cell at the field office." Bon had to say it to the others..
"Um…" Shima says this part next. "Doesn't that mean Rin is in serious trouble? And Saki too?"
To Miwa, Izumo, or Shima hated to think about the worst was yet to come and Shiemi was shaking in fear for her friends were in danger.
"Rin…Kiyomi…"
Bon felt the same way too like Shiemi was…Soon those two, Miwa, Izumo, and Shima hear something within the room and outside of the place from which didn't sound like a normal dog at all to be out this late at night.
"What was that?" confused Izumo.
"A dog maybe…?" guess Miwa.
Then it sounded serious to be a growling and barking-like noise to not sound so friendly.
"I don't think so, Izumo…" Shima fears for the worse.
Now what…? What was out there for Bon, Shima, Miwa, Shiemi, and Izumo to know they weren't alone at all. What was it? Trouble? As Rin was still in his cell lying down and upset, Shura and Yukio finally come down to check on him. Other than feeling weak a bit, he was happy if Kiyomi was doing fine for the time being and be back with her soon enough.
"Have you cooled off a little?" Shura asks Rin for him to see her. "How does your body feel?"
Rin had no trouble getting back up.
"I still feel wobbly…But I guess I can move."
"Well, you heard him." Shura said to Yukio.
Yep, Rin's little brother was here to not look happy to see Rin in isolation and knows of the look of feeling upset and get another lecture by him.
"You say you're going to make me eat your dust, and here you are in a jail cell." Yukio said to his brother. "Is this what you meant when you said you'd make my jaw hit the floor?"
Rin knows of this mess he was in already.
"Kiyomi…"
"Don't worry, she's fine." said Shura. "Suguro and his friends are watching over her, she's resting right now."
"That's good. Guess she felt me being okay like I did for her too. (What a babe she is…)" said Rin. "Will I see her again?"
Yukio doesn't blame Rin there since his love does control his powers more and more and Kiyomi's as well.
"You will after we fix your problem first. So just be patient."
Rin believes in Yukio there no matter how much he acts tough around him, and then Shura gives him the note that Tatsuma has given to her to give to Rin.
"Any who, here" she shows it to Rin. "Suguro's dad slipped this to me earlier. I think he meant for me to give this to you."
It does say 'To: Rin Okumura' that's for sure.
"Why to me?" he asked.
"I haven't looked at it yet. Read it yourself."
So Shura hands the letter to Rin as he opens and reads it from Tatsuma, with just a small problem…
"Okay then."
"What did it say?" ask Shura.
"I can't read it." said Rin.
I would imagine of Shura and Yukio falling down to this point when Rin said it.
"Seriously!?" upsetting Shura. "I knew you were barely literate, but this is unbelievable!" so she takes it to read it instead. "With kids these days, I fear for the future."
"I wouldn't look at it…" Rin was warning Shura not to, but she does. For Tatsuma's handwriting wasn't so well. Like he was writing in sweats for the ink to be all mess up like on the paper.
"No way! I can't read this either!" Shura said with her eyes popping out.
"You see!?" Rin told her so. "It looks like Zuku's handwriting!"
Ouch, the familiar got burned. And so, Yukio looks at it to know what the handwriting was.
"Cursive script, huh?" he looks at it. "I can read enough to get by."
So Shura allows it for Rin to listen in.
"Then please translate for the class, Mr. Yukio." said Shura. "Hurry up, read it. That letter probably says something about this mess. Let's hear what he wanted to say to this idiot so we can tell Kiyomi about it later."
With Yukio looking at Rin 'to still be upset from this mess', Shura wants to hear the whole thing right now.
"As you wish."
Alright, time to explain from the letter on what Tatsuma wrote on it 'as he was running in the woods to be in hurry to do something', while also explain everything about his past too that he wrote to Rin and Kiyomi…
(Greetings, Rin Okumura. And to you too, Kiyomi Saki, if you two are reading this too or just being told all about it on. Allow me to introduce myself. I am a priest who lives in Kyoto…and my name is Tatsuma Suguro. I'm sure you two are wondering why I wrote you this letter. I have an important favor to ask you and your girlfriend. But since I'm sure that you two are confused about getting a letter from a stranger, I'll begin by telling you a bit about my past. I'm a poor writer, so please forgive me if things are a bit jumbled. It all began a little bit before you, Kiyomi, and Ryuji were born.
I was still a young man at the time, and my pregnant wife Torako, who was gravely ill. I was powerless to do anything as she grew weaker by the day, and I was at my wits' end. This was all caused by the miasma given off by the Right Eye of the Impure King. Even though my father had lost my mother, and had fallen ill himself, he doggedly continued to perform his Myoda duties. Powerless as I was, I took his words to heart.
I was born the 17th in the line of Myoda head priests. Our followers carry out their duties every day to protect that bloodline. So, I must fulfill my own duties. Clearing my mind was how I could protect Myoda – No, protect Torako and the child she was carrying. I made myself believe that with all my heart. And then…from out of the sky…And that was my disastrous first encounter both Shiro Fujimoto and Kazu Saki, the two men for one being a Prince of the Shadow Demons from Gehenna to go against the Shadow King's orders and the man who raised you, Rin. And the prince was Kiyomi's father as well when he was alive.)
From the young Tatsuma to worry about his pregnant wife who was ill to soon be having Bon for Torako was lying in bed for him to worry about his condition on a winter day at the village, ouch. For Torako put on a brave face to be strong for her husband and keeping her baby within her healthy, Yaozo gets Tatsuma for his own father 'and Bon's grandfather from back then', tells him no to leave his post to be working. Rude!
Tatsuma feared they were losing many lives instead of saving them all for the past 15 years, as his own father thinks from leaving the post will make him lost the power. He knows of it all, and at some point, have no other choice, though weak himself too like Torako was to be brave and kept on working – their job must be done no matter what 'and I can see the reason why Tatsuma didn't want to be head monk of the temple'. Still, he fears if his wife didn't pull through 'but did in the end', that Tatsuma would have no choice but to find another woman to bear a child with, harsh.
Later, that same day…young members being Tatsuma, Uwabami, Yaozo, and Mr. Miwa 'Miwa's father who was alive from a long time ago' for all of them to gather within the snowy woods to set a fire as they had a sword 'surprisingly being the Kuma Sword itself which Rin had' to do something with it for a spell must be cast right away. Until…Shiro comes falling from the skies and kills a demon for them for the ritual to be ruined for the monks to do. Huh!? Along with Kazu joining him back then 'before the whole Satan thing with Erin giving birth to Yukio and Rin', seems like the sword belongs to Bon's family in the first place'; and of course, both Shiro and Kazu took it from them for Mephisto to have until they sealed away Rin's powers with it when he was a baby. No way! Not even those monks or Tatsuma couldn't stop them at all.
What a shocker! For Rin and Yukio sees the Kuma Sword belonging to Bon's family all along for Shiro and Kazu took it from them, even for Shura to be hearing it all.
"I don't believe it…" shock Yukio. "The Koma Sword is the Myoda sect's main object and worship, and he had a connection to our father and Kiyomi's father through it all?"
"It belonged to Suguro's family this whole time?" Rin was shock and confused.
Shura didn't like the sound of any of this at all to hear more about it.
"Hurry up, keep reading!"
"Right!" Yukio continues reading the letter.
While Yukio finishes reading the next part for both Shura and Rin to listen in, and Tatsuma racing to somewhere deep in the woods late at night to do something for mentioning both Kazu and Shiro's name to do what needs to be done. But where to? And Kiyomi 'with the trapped Zuku' both go back to the room until she heard a noise to feel more bad Shadow Demons were around, also for Bon, Shima, Miwa, Izumo, and Shiemi were in danger because of it.
"(Oh, no…More of them!)" Kiyomi was freaking out. "(My friends are in danger…!) Zuku! We need to save Bon and the others first before we can see Rin again. Come on!"
Entering in a room for tons of Shadow Demon wolves appear to surround the five teenage kids, and Kiyomi soon appears to see their pack leader Mifo appearing before her, Zuku, and the others.
"Saki!?" surprised Bon. "Where the hell have you been!?"
Kiyomi brought her whip-like staff to defend herself.
"Everyone! Stay back!" she was ready. "(Don't let your powers out, Kiyomi…Remember what Shura has taught you to do until the curse has been removed…) Alright, demon! Show yourself! I know you're after Rin, Yukio, and me by the Shadow King's orders! Am I right!?"
It was, as Mifo appears to be ready to fight with Kiyomi to bring her back to her grandfather by force.
"Girl…" the wolf spoke a little. "By Master's orders…! You're coming with us…with two other boys…spawn of Satan sons!"
Lots of shadow demon-like wolves have got them all surrounded. Now what will happen? Can Kiyomi stop them alone to protect Bon, Shima, Miwa, Izumo, and Shiemi from the danger and see Rin afterwards to know the rest of Tatsuma's story?
"What do we do now…?" ask Shiemi
Yes. What can anyone do besides not dying?
