Legionary Abyss
Chapter 1~
"Shit I'm late!"
The screeching of tennis shoes scrapped against the tile, as Rin managed to
clear the corner and reach the door he needed. The teen quickly pulling out his
keys and fumbling to find the one he needed as he mentally cursed himself for
falling asleep in class again. Leave it to his regular classmates to let him
sleep and not wake him up when the final bell rang. Yukio was so going to kill
him. Of course just as that thought reached his mind the final bell for cram
school rang through the halls of True Cross and Rin banged his head against the
door. His tail falling limp behind him as he let out a curse and used the right
key on the door. The teen forcing himself through the door and into the
carpeted hall of Cram School. His tail still limp behind him as he stepped
inside and closed the door behind him. A forlorn look on his face as he headed
down the hall at his own pace and looked down at the carpeting. The teen trying
to come up with an excuse to tell his brother for his late arrival again, as he
reached the door and froze as he head a new voice behind it. A small frown
appearing on his face as he stared at the closed door and tried to figure out
who it was. His demonic hearing trying to pinpoint if one of his classmates
we're sick again or if someone had intruded, as he grabbed the door handle and
pulled the door open. Several heads instantly turning toward him as Yukio gave
him a glare that could kill a Salamander on the spot, as Rin harshly swallowed
and missed the teen standing beside his brother.
"Nii-san, how many times do I have to tell you to be on time to class?" Yukio
scolded, as Ryuji gave him the usual glare and mumbled an insult at him. Izumo
letting out a huff and looking back at her textbook while Shima snickered and
Shiemi tried to calm Yukio down. "How many times are you going to be late,
before you realize how important these classes are? You've only got till the
next exorcist exam to learn all this material and you can't even make it to
class."
"Well sorry I fell asleep in class." Rin mumbled, as the teen standing next to
his brother moved and turned to look at him, the demon instantly freezing up
and a growl leaving his throat. "What the hell are you doing here?!"
It was then the lavender eyes that fell on him turned dark, a growl leaving the
male's throat as a pointed tail slinked out of his jacket and Yukio stepped
between them.
"Nii-san, don't start anything. Shiratori just joined Cram School today." Yukio
spoke in a commanding tone, as the teen behind his brother relaxed a little and
let his tail duck back under his jacket.
"But, Yukio he-"
"I don't care what he did Nii-san. He's a student now, you're not to fight with
him."
A growl left the teen's throat as he pushed past his brother and walked to his
desk. The half-demon sitting down at his desk and slamming his backpack on the
table, while scaring Shiemi in the process, before Yukio deemed it safe and
gestured to the teen beside him.
"As I was saying, this is Reiji Shiratori and he'll be joining us in Cram
School from now on." Yukio spoke as Rin glared at the boy.
Besides the standard school uniform, the teen didn't look any different than
before. The same choppy mop of lavender hair sat on top of his head and framed
his face, the same piercings over each eyebrow and under his lip, as he stood
with his hands in the pockets of his uniform. A glare on his face as he ignored
Rin's searing gaze and went along with the introduction.
"And so you idiots know I'm half-demon." Reiji spoke up, as Rin's glare
deepened. "Won't touch you if you don't piss me off, but better you know."
It was then before anyone could speak that he walked to the very back of the
classroom and sat in the far corner of the room. The chair scrapping against
the tile and the teen sitting down, before he leaned back and put his feet up
on the table. The messenger bag over his shoulder hitting the floor, before he
pulled out a notebook and their textbook. Reiji looking at his brother, before
Yukio quickly put himself together to start teaching the class. Rin frowning at
the teen sitting in the back of the class, before Yukio scolded him and he
turned to the chalkboard in an attempt to try and listen to his brother's long
winded speech about some medical herbs. The scratching of his classmates taking
notes filling the air, as Rin sighed to himself and pulled out his notebook
from his bag. The teen rummaging around for a pencil with his brother's voice
falling into the background as he pulled one out of his backpack and attempted
to take notes.
Images from the monastery flashing through his head as he tightly gripped the
pencil in his head and squeezed his eyes shut. The images reverting to back in
the alleyway with Reiji and his buddies, as smirk on the teen's face as he
purposefully taunted him. A wad of cash in his hand as a knowing smirk spread
across his lips and fire filled his vision. Red flames turning to blue as Shiro
came into the picture and everything started running at super sonic speed. The
ghoul hounds after them, the roofs, the monastery, the sword being thrust into
his arms and the darkness that followed. The cries of the men that had been
protecting him all this time echoing in the dark as Rin found a way out and
found Reiji standing above them, or should he say the possessed body of the
teen standing over them. His skin a dark brown and huge ram horns on either
side of his head as he smirked and Rin saw red. A book suddenly slamming down
in front of him as Rin yelped and snapped back to reality, the teen losing
balance in his chair as he fell back and hit his head on the desk behind him.
Several gasps leaving his classmates as Yukio quickly dropped the book in his
hand and kneeled beside him, a worried look on his face.
"I'm so sorry Nii-san. I thought you we're falling asleep again, I didn't mean
for you to hurt yourself." Yukio quickly spoke as Rin let out a groan in pain.
"He's gunna need stitches." Came Reiji's voice from the back of the classroom
as Rin rubbed the back of his head.
A wince leaving the teen as he pulled his hand back and found blood on his
fingers. Yukio's eyes widening as he pushed Rin forward a bit and checked the
back of his head.
"Reiji, get me the medical kit, Nii-san is gunna need some stitches." Yukio
ordered, as Rin froze.
The sound of his classmate's footsteps echoing in his head, as he turned back
to find Reiji in the back of the classroom and his eyes on his notebook. The
teen writing as if nothing was wrong with the world, as he glanced up to look
at Rin. The pencil still scratching against paper, as the teen looked away
without a word and Bon came back with the first-aid kit. His brother instantly
getting in the way of his gaze at the half-demon in the back of the room, as he
was forced to deal with his brother stitching his head back up. All the while,
trying to figure out what had just happened.
===============================================================================
The sound of the last bell for Cram School rang through the room, as Rin's
classmates got up with their bags and left one after the other. His brother
ordering him to not get into anymore trouble as he grabbed their turned in
homework and left to go attend a mission. The room falling silent with only the
two half-demons in it, as Reiji finally closed the notebook lying against his
legs and set the pencil on the desk.
"How did you do that?" Rin ordered, as Reiji frowned a little.
"Do what?"
"You know what!"
"Sorry Okumura, but I can't read your thoughts. Enlighten me would you?" The
teen challenged as Rin bit back a growl and stayed in his seat.
"How did you know I'd need stitches?"
"You fell back pretty fast and the impact was bound to cause some damage."
Reiji spoke with a shrug. "I know when someone needs stitches just by lookin at
them. You looked like shit."
A frown appeared on Rin's face as he got up and walked toward the other. Reiji
completely calm as he watched him walk over and stop in front of the desk, both
of their tails free and swaying behind them.
"Then why are you so calm right now?" Rin asked, as Reiji watched him.
"Don't know what you mean."
"Last two times we met you blew up on me without me doing much." Rin spoke, as
Reiji's eyes narrowed slightly. "We've been alone in the same room for three
minutes and you haven't even moved."
"Maybe I'm just confident you're full of shit." Reiji spoke calmly, as Rin
growled and lounged at him.
The teen in the chair instantly rolling out of the chair with a little
difficulty due to his position in it and barely dodging Rin. The teen up on his
feet just as Rin tried to swing at him and strike him across the face. The
lavender haired teen quickly ducking and swinging his leg out to hit the half-
demon in the knee and send him to the floor. A curse leaving Rin as he glared
up at the teen slowly getting to his feet, his notebook still in his hand.
"Like I said, full of shit." Reiji spoke as he dusted off his pants and checked
to see if his notebook was still intact.
"What is that for?" Rin asked, as he nodded to the notebook in the teen's
hands.
"None of your business." Reiji spoke, as he walked past him and grabbed his
things and stuffed them in his backpack. "Why don't you go study for your
history test tomorrow? You'll fail if you fall asleep again."
And before Rin could even speak the teen was gone. His footsteps echoing from
the hall, as Rin glared at the door and sat back with a huff. Something wasn't
right.
===============================================================================
"What do you mean you can't tell me?" Rin demanded as Yukio frowned at him and
the half-demon set dinner down on the table.
"I mean the reason as to why Reiji is attending Cram School is private Nii-
san." His brother spoke, as he served himself. "I can't just tell you why your
classmates are deciding to be exorcists, and that includes Reiji. You may not
like him but you have to find out like the rest of your classmates."
A frown appeared on Rin's face as he sat in the chair across from his brother
and served himself.
"You heard him didn't you? He said I needed stitches before you even looked."
"He might just have a good medical sense Nii-san. You and me both know what
part of town he spent time in." Yukio spoke as he started to eat.
"Yeah but aren't his parents rich or something?" Rin asked as his brother
nodded. "Then he shouldn't know. He probably had personal doctors doing
everything for him."
"Nii-san I think you're reading too far into this. Maybe you should just ask
him."
"Don't you think I already tried that? He wouldn't tell me!"
"Then he probably has a good reason for that, Rin." A small huff left the half-
demon as he frowned at the younger. "Just give him time, Nii-san. When he wants
to tell us he will."
"Fine."
===============================================================================
"A mission, already?" Bon spoke the moment Yukio finished explaining what they
were going to be doing.
"Ever since the gate incident things have been hectic and students are having
trouble coping." Yukio explained as everyone fell silent. "They've just now
started seeing demons and it's becoming unsettling for them. Our job today is
to show them simple ways to either repel or cope with the demons around them."
"Why don't we just throw Rin at them? There's a good way to cope." Bon muttered
as Rin growled at him.
"Why don't we staple a tail to your ass and send you to help them cope?" Rin
challenged as Yukio glared at his older brother.
"Nii-san that was called for." Yukio spoke strictly, as the teen mumbled an
apology. "As I was saying, our job is to help them cope and show them that
simple lower level demons won't harm them. To accomplish this I'm going to be
pairing you up into teams of two and you'll go through the dorms and talk to
the students. The teams are as followed: Ryuji and Shima, Miwa and Takahara,
Shiemi and Izumo, and Rin and Reiji."
"What?! Why am I with Reiji?!" Rin growled, as Yukio frowned.
"I believe the two of you need to learn to get along. Now go help the
students." Yukio spoke bluntly as he walked off to go talk to a teacher from
their neighboring class who was giving their students the same instructions.
"Let's get this over with." Reiji spoke, as he walked past Rin and headed for
the boy's dorms.
Rin muttering a curse as he followed at the half-demon and shoved his hands in
his pockets. A frown on his face as he glared at the back of the teen's head
and paused when the wind blew past them. Reiji's hair ruffling to the side to
reveal the tip of what looked like a horn on the side of his head, before his
hair fell back in place. Rin's eyes wide as they reached the dorm building and
Reiji walked inside. The teen following after him as they stepped into what
looked like a lounge area for the first floor and found the residents for that
floor sitting inside. A group of three teens lighting up a bit as Reiji stepped
inside the room and they greeted him and gave him a handshake. Rin watching
them all the while as the three sat back down and a good handful of the
students relaxed, seemed like they knew Reiji already.
"As some of you may know we're here from the year one Cram School class to
teach you how to repeal and cope with low level demons." Reiji spoke up as he
took control of the presentation. "Before we start I'd like you to know that
myself and Okumura are half-demons."
In a rush a few students stiffened and quieted to a deathly state. Rin glaring
at the teen next to him as he continued as if their reactions never affected
him.
"Of course just because we're part demons doesn't mean we're going to harm you.
In fact with this information I'd like to inform you that we personally know
what it feels like to be afraid of the unknown." Reiji continued as those few
students gave him a slightly confused look. "Most of you may feel afraid, and
that's natural, but I'd like you to stop for a moment and think about how the
two of us might have thought the moment we found out we were part demon.
As you may already know exorcists hunt and kill demons to protect the human
population from harm, but just like you all demons live lives are well. Yes
most demons are not part human like us, but there is a good percentage of a
human-like demon population that is hunted. So just like you we had a moment
where we realized that we may be hunted and killed for who we were forced to be
and most low level demons that you may encounter may feel the same."
In the silence that followed Reiji reached out and gently pulled a coal tar out
of the air by the tail. The little creature squeaking in surprise as it tried
to wave its little paws and escape the teen's grasp. A panicked look on its
face, before Reiji gently set it in his palm and rubbed between its little
ears. The creature instantly calming down before it relaxed in his palm.
Several students staring at him in surprise as a few leaned forward to watch
the coal tar turn into a little kitten in Reiji's palm.
"A very common low level demon you'll encounter everyday is a Coal Tar. These
little guys are completely harmless and they'll never attack you unless you
provoke them or if there are enough of them around to cause damage. They posses
fungus in the air and in dark damp places, which make them common." With a calm
expression the teen walked to a slightly freaked out student and grabbed his
hand, the half-demon setting the coal tar in his palm. The student freaked for
a moment before he realized the coal tar wasn't going to hurt him and gently
poked at it. "As I said Coal Tars are harmless, but too many in one area may be
dangerous for breathing the air. A simple way to clear an area of them is to
recite a simple mantra in a book we're going to be giving you once we're done
with this little lecture. You'll only need to recite the mantra once and the
Coal Tars won't attack you as you recite it."
Around that the students relaxed and quietly listened to his classmate, as Rin
frowned slightly and watched Reiji calmly talk to them. The teen speaking
simply and calmly, as Rin leaned against the door and listened as the teen
moved to another lower level demon. Reiji summoning one with a simple summoning
tag and showing them the demon and how to deal with it as Rin relaxed and gave
a small smile.
===============================================================================
"And that concludes the lecture." Reiji spoke, as Rin quickly shook his head to
clear the slight drowsiness from his brain and noticed the handful of lower
level demons relaxing with the students. The students calm around them and
treating them with respect as Reiji stood a little straighter. "As I said we'll
be giving you a book full of mantras in the case of an emergency, but I'd like
to warn all of you. Lower level demons may be harmless at times, but they can
become violent if provoked. If a lower level demon is provoked and you're in
the area call the exorcist help line for the school and a higher year Cram
School student will come to your aid."
"Why wouldn't one of you come?" A student asked, as Rin straightened up a
little.
"That's because the school help line is designed to give upperclassmen in Cram
School the experience to deal with demons for practice for their exorcist exam.
We're still exorcists in training, so our job is to partake in simple missions
and provide all of you with information on how to deal with demons."
A nod left the student, as Reiji nodded and pulled out the mantra books. The
students getting up one by one to retrieve one as they set the summoned demons
down and slowly left the room one by one. The group of three staying behind as
Reiji ripped the summoning papers and the low level demons disappeared. The
Coal Tar from before landing on the top of his head and relaxing there.
"Nice speech dude, didn't know you could talk for so long." One of the teens
joked, as Reiji rolled his eyes.
"Shut up, will yah. It's not like I wanted to do this." Reiji frowned, as the
second snickered.
"Oh yeah, I forgot the headmaster forced you to join the stupid Cram classes.
That's got to be boring as hell." The second spoke, as the third grabbed a Coal
Tar out of the air and played with it.
"It could be worse, he could be locked in his room passed out like a sissy."
The first laughed as Reiji glared at him and wacked him with the mantra book in
his hand. "The hell-?!"
"Shut the hell up and go back to your room, the lecture is over." Reiji spoke,
as his friend frowned at him and left the room followed by the other two. "And
don't get attached to that stupid thing."
The third let go of the Coal Tar as they left the room and disappeared. Rin
watching as they headed to their room, and Rin turned to look at his classmate
to found Reiji glaring at the wall. The Coal Tar on the top of his head asleep,
as Reiji shoved the extra mantra book in his bag and turned to Rin.
"What?"
"What did he mean by being passed out in your room?" Rin asked, as Reiji glared
at him.
"That's none of your business, Okumura. Go study or work on your essay." Reiji
growled as he moved to pass Rin and the half-demon blocked the doorway. "Move
Okumura."
"No, I'm tired of you not giving me answers and telling me to do homework for
classes we're not even in together." Rin spoke up, as Reiji glared at him. "Now
tell me how the hell you know I have an essay due tomorrow."
"That's none of your business."
"It is now that you've told me." Rin interjected as he moved a little to the
side as Reiji tried to pass him, a serious look on his face. "Spill."
Silence fell over them as the Coal Tar gave Reiji a small glare from the top of
his head for all the moving around, before it relaxed and fell asleep again.
"Grab your essay and meet me in the courtyard by the fountain. I'll explain
then." Reiji spoke, before he pushed past Rin and headed down the hall.
===============================================================================
"Got your essay?" Reiji asked as he walked toward Rin with his hands in his
pockets.
In response Rin held up a bent up folder with papers sticking out of it. A pen
behind the teen's ear and a frown on his face as he watched Reiji sit on the
edge of the fountain with him.
"Spill." Rin demanded, as Reiji snatched the folder from him. "Oi!"
"You're gunna fail if you don't rewrite this." Reiji spoke, as Rin frowned at
him. "The whole first paragraph is gunna be marked off for illegible writing
and the third paragraph has a ton of grammar mistakes. You've spelled a ton of
shit wrong too."
In an instant Rin stared at him in shock as Reiji looked up at him and handed
the folder back. The half-demon quiet as he took the folder from him.
"H-how did you even know? You just glanced at it." Rin spoke, as he glanced
down at his essay.
"I'm a half-demon."
"What does that have to do with this?" Rin frowned, as Reiji sighed and rubbed
a hand over his face.
"It has everything to do with this Okumura." Reiji spoke, as he looked at him.
"You must've listened to bits of lectures before you fell asleep in class. You
of all people should know that demons and half-demons have abilities."
"Well yeah. That's why I have my flames." Rin spoke as he tilted his head a
little. "I'm still not getting what you're trying to tell me."
"I can see the future you twit." Reiji ground out, as Rin's eyes widened. "That
joke back at the dorms from that idiot was a side effect of my powers. My
future seeing ability is too powerful for me to control and because of that I
had periods of time that my visions took over and I passed out for hours on
end. It got to the point I was out for two days and the headmaster stepped in.
He gave me some medication and told me that only way he'd keep supplying me
with them was if I went to Cram School and trained to control my powers. That's
why I'm stuck with you guys."
"Then what about that notebook?"
"When I have a vision I write it down so I have a record. Guess you could call
me a scribe if you wanna get biblical about it." Reiji frowned, as he turned
his head and looked down at the grass. "Sometimes after I have a vision I get
this itching feeling to write everything down word for word. It keeps getting
worse till I write it down. Sometimes I can avoid it if it's quick enough and
the event happens a minute or two after, but it's annoying as hell."
"So back in the classroom, you saw all that?"
"Yeah."
"Is that what you we're writing down?" A nod. "That's so cool!"
"Cool?" Reiji spoke in disgust as Rin flinched. "Cool? Are you fucking with me
Okumura? These powers have ruined my life. How are they cool?"
"I meant it's cool you can see the future. It gives you a chance to change bad
outcomes." Rin spoke carefully, as Reiji glared at him. "I said something
stupid, didn't I?"
"Yeah, you did." Reiji spoke bluntly, as he stood up and shoved his hands in
his pockets with his back to him. "Ever since I was possessed my life has been
similar to yours Okumura. Nothing but hell. You have no idea what has happened
since that demon was ripped out of me and I turned into this."
In the silence after the wind blew past and the teen's hair parted just right.
The tips of the half-demon's horns coming into view, as he glanced back at him
and Rin's breath hitched at the black pupil in the center of the teen's
lavender eyes.
"If it wasn't for Mephisto I wouldn't be here."
Without a word Reiji turned and walked away. His tail slinking back under his
jacket and his hair falling back over his horns as Rin stared after him. The
teen harshly swallowing as he glanced down at the folder in his lap and gripped
the fabric of his pants. He had to do something.

Legionary Abyss
Chapter 2
Silence filled the room as Rin tapped his pencil against his notebook and
glanced at the back of the classroom. The far corner empty just like it was at
the start of class, as Rin frowned and looked back at his notebook. Yukio's
voice echoing in the background and Rin chewed on the inside of his cheek.
Ever since Reiji had left him in the courtyard he hadn't seen much of his
classmate. The teen had disappeared from the hallways and from Cram School with
little to no presence at all. In the mean time Rin had fixed his essay and got
a C instead of the fabled F Reiji said he was going to get, which only made Rin
worry more. As far as he knew from the few people he talked to Reiji rarely
missed class unless he called in sick or one of his buddies told the teacher he
was sick, and as far as he knew he wasn't. None of the teachers knew where he
was and Yukio had commented just yesterday during dinner that he wondered where
Reiji was. So of course Rin wondered where he was and if he was ok. After the
teen had dropped a boom as big as visions of the future at him there was bond
to be recoil for it, but nothing as big as this. Something was up.
"And that concludes the lesson. Your homework is-" In an instant Rin was on his
feet, shoving everything in his backpack and heading for the door. Everyone
staring at him in surprise, as he quickly exited the room. "Nii-san!"
===============================================================================
"No I don't know where Reiji is." The male student from the lecture frowned, as
he crossed his arms over his chest.
"You're his friend, how do you not know?" Rin demanded as the guy held a hand
up in defense. "Last time I saw the guy was two days ago when we went out to
the movies with the guys to see that new horror movie. We had a hell of the
time and went out for pizza after before coming back."
"Did anything seem off about him?"
"Not that I noticed, and if there was he probably would've never let us find
out." He spoke with a frown. "Reiji's good at hiding stuff when things go
wrong."
"Do you have any idea where he might be?"
"His room on the forth floor or in the courtyard." The teen spoke, as Rin gave
him a nod. "You'll need a fourth floor monitor to open his room though."
"Thanks." Rin quickly spoke as he headed down the hall and for the stairs. A
frown on his face as he headed for the forth floor.
On the way here Rin had passed the courtyard and hadn't seen Reiji there. He
had done a quick scan of the campus before he came here in case the half-demon
wasn't here, but turned out he was. Or at least he had to be. There was nowhere
else Reiji could be if he wasn't here. As far as he knew there wasn't anywhere
else a student could go.
At that Rin stopped in front of the monitors small office and poked his head
inside. A teen looking up at him from a book in his hand as he frowned at him
and set the book down.
"Reiji?" A nod left the half-demon as the student sighed and grabbed a ring of
keys. "Knew someone would come around eventually. Guy hasn't left his room for
a day and a half, but I'm surprised one of his buddies didn't come up."
"You didn't bother checking up on him?" Rin asked, as he followed the teen to
Reiji's dorm room.
"Nah, no point to. There's been cases where students just wanted to be left
alone and locked themselves in their rooms for a few days cause the stress got
to them. It's nothing out of the ordinary." The teen spoke, as he knocked on
Reiji's door twice. "Reiji, your friend is here!"
Silence followed, as the monitor grabbed the key to Reiji's room and put it in
the lock. The lock on the door clicking, as the monitor opened it and took the
ring of keys back.
"He's probably asleep or something. Go ahead and go in, if you need me I'll be
in the office." The teen spoke as he headed back down the hall.
Rin frowning at the poor lack of security, before he walked inside and closed
the door behind him. The teen met with a nice looking apartment with a small
joined living room and kitchen area. A small round dinning table between them
as Rin looked around for his classmate and frowned. The teen finding the space
void of his classmate, before he noticed the closed bedroom door and headed for
it. The half-demon stopping in front of it and listening incase the other was
awake or in the middle of something, before he knocked.
"Reiji, its Rin. You've been absent a few days and Yukio was getting worried."
Rin half-lied as silence followed. "Reiji?"
Silence fell over the air once more as Rin bit his lip and stared at the door.
A small voice in his head told him Reiji might just be a heavy sleeper like Rin
himself, before the teen shook his head and grabbed the door handle. Heavy
sleeper or not he came here to see if he was all right and a closed door and no
response didn't fit those requirements. So when the teen turned the knob and
opened the door the last thing he expected was to see his classmate laying on
the floor unconscious. Reiji unconscious among what looked to be the sheets
that had been ripped off his bed and papers from cram school, a bottle of pills
tipped over and the contents everywhere as Rin let out a curse and quickly
rushed to the teen's side. His classmate's breath steady and the teen unharmed,
as Rin frowned in confusion. The half-demon picking up the bottle for the pills
and reading the label, before he froze and looked at the teen lying unconscious
on the floor.
"You're trapped in a vision." Rin spoke, as he quickly picked up his classmate
and set him on the bed.
The teen pulling open any drawer he could find in an attempt to find pills that
hadn't been lying on the floor for who knows how long, before he pulled open a
desk drawer and found an extra bottle. Rin quickly reading the label as he
walked to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. The teen managing not to
trip over anything and make it back to the bedroom with everything intact
before he set the glass of water down and opened the pill bottle. Rin shaking
out a pill from the bottle and capping the thing, before he popped the pill in
his mouth and took a sip of water. The half-demon taking a deep breath, before
he leaned over his classmate and lifted him up a little. The teen hesitantly
closing his mouth over his classmate's, before he forced the pill and mouthful
of water into Reiji's mouth before forcing him to swallow. The task a little
harder than he thought before he managed to get Reiji to swallow and set him
down with a small sigh of relief. The teen's face bright red as he tried to get
past the fact he just kissed his own classmate and got up to put everything
back where it had been. Rin deciding that Reiji would probably kill him for
already being in his room in the first place, as he dragged the desk chair to
the side of the bed and silently waited. An hour passing, and the teen almost
falling asleep, before Reiji stirred and let out a groan. Rin instantly sitting
up and awake as the half-demon laying in bed opened his eyes and rolled over
with a whine. The sound a little more pathetic than Rin expected, before he
noticed the weak tired look in his classmates eyes the moment Reiji noticed he
was beside the bed.
"What the hell are you doing here, Okumura?" Reiji demanded in what was for
once a non-threatening tone.
"You've been absent the past two days and you didn't call off. Yukio was
wondering what happened, so I came to check to see if you were ok." Rin spoke,
as Reiji carefully sat up and noticed his room was slightly messier than he
remembered it. "I found you passed out on the floor when the monitor let me in.
I found your pills and figured out you were stuck in a vision, before I tried
to search for the other bottle. I tried to put everything back though."
A small silence fell over them as Rin bit his lip and waited for Reiji to yell
at him. His classmates head bowed slightly and his expression unreadable.
"Thanks." Came the soft and short reply.
"Y-Your welcome." Rin stuttered in surprise, as Reiji looked at him.
"I mean it, thanks. Who knows how long I would've been out. I could've died." A
nod left the half-demon in the chair as Reiji sighed. "This is gunna be hard to
explain to everyone. Especially since it'll take me a day or two to get back on
my feet."
"Just tell them the truth." Rin spoke, as Reiji frowned at him. "What?"
"No offense Rin, but the moment you tell anyone you can see the future they
demand you to tell them theirs and its not like I control whose future I see."
Reiji spoke, as Rin frowned a little.
"You can't choose?"
"No, like I said I have little control. I see two, three different peoples
futures at the most. One is the most prominent though."
"If you don't mind me asking, who is it?" Rin asked, as silence fell over them
and Rin bit his lower lip. "I mean only if you want to."
"Yours."
"What?"
"I see your future the most."
===============================================================================
Silence fell over them as Rin stared at his classmate in shock. Reiji no longer
looking at him as he stared down at his lap, his tail hidden and no emotion on
his face.
"M-mine?" Rin quietly spoke, as the teen on the bed nodded. "Why would you have
visions about me?"
"No idea, but I do. Like I said, can't really control my powers." Reiji spoke,
as he looked at him.
Their eyes meeting for the first time as a spark exploded between them and
their eyes widened. Reiji the first to move as he forced himself out of bed and
out of the room. Rin frozen in place and his face bright red, as he roughly bit
his lip and covered his face. His heart racing as he glanced at the open door
and harshly swallowed.
"R-Reiji, what was that?" Rin hesitantly called out.
"Nothing Okumura, forget about it." Reiji spoke from the other room, as the
half-demon felt a pain blossom across his chest and looked down at the floor.
"Go study for a test or something."
"But what about you?" The half-demon protested, as he got up and walked out of
the room.
The teen finding his classmate curled up on the couch with his knees pulled to
his chest. His face hidden between them as his tail lay still beside him. His
horns visible and the teen the most vulnerable as Rin gave him a sad look and
walked toward him.
"I'll be fine." Reiji spoke, before Rin sat beside him. "Okumura-"
"What was that?"
"You really don't pay attention in class do you?" Reiji weakly chuckled as Rin
shook his head. "You ever heard of true mates?"
"Yeah, they're the being that's born for a demon….I think." Rin spoke, as Reiji
nodded.
"We're true mates." Reiji spoke, as Rin's eyes widened. "Honestly, you're gunna
fail that exorcist exam Okumura."
"Wait, back up! We're mates?" Rin asked, as Reiji frowned.
"No, I'm just fucking with you." Reiji spoke bitterly, as he slapped Rin in the
back of his head with his tail. "Of course we're true mates you twit! Why would
I explain it to you if it wasn't true?"
"Sorry." Rin huffed as he glanced at his classmate and noticed the turmoil in
his eyes. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine." Reiji spoke, as he glanced back at the floor.
A frown appeared across Rin's face as he grabbed Reiji's face and turned him
toward him. Serious crystal blue eyes boring into pain filled lavender eyes, as
Rin leaned forward till their foreheads touched. The half-demon's tail
intertwining with his classmates, as Reiji stared up at him in surprise with
their lips inches apart.
"Quit lying to me, Reiji."
"I'm not lying." Came the quite breath as the teen stared at Rin.
"Could've fooled me."
Silence stretched out as the pair stared at one another, one holding a
determined gaze as the other slowly was losing his composure. The moment not
lasting long before the front door swung open and a loud voice racquet off the
walls.
"Reiji, where are you you little shit?!"
In an instant the too jumped away from each other and turned to the front door.
A tall and huge looking student standing in the doorway with a frown on his
face. A displeased look on his face as he noticed Rin beside the other on the
couch and ran his fingers through his hair to sweep it out of his gold eyes.
His gaze stern and dominate as the lavender teen shrunk back a bit and Rin felt
his tail twitch, a glare appearing on his face.
"You never answered my calls." The male in the door spoke, as Reiji bit his
lip.
"I forgot about my medication and got hit." Akira spoke, as Rin looked at Reiji
in surprise at how easily he spoke about his visions to the male in the
doorway. "Been out since yesterday."
A scoff left the student as he pushed off the doorway and walked toward them.
Each footstep echoing though the room as Reiji slowly turned quieter and more
submissive. Something Rin didn't miss as the male stopped right beside Reiji
and tilted his head up, gazing into his eyes. His classmate quiet and still as
the male looked at him, before he let go of him and shoved his hands in his
pockets.
"Go get dressed and grab your medication. We got somewhere to go tonight." He
spoke, before turning and heading toward the front door. "You got ten minutes,
if your not ready by then I'm coming back and dragging you out dressed or not."
The next moment the male closed the front door as he left and Reiji suddenly
collapsed against the back of the couch. A heavy sigh leaving his lips, as he
finally let go of his deafening grip on his arm and his tail ducked under his
shirt. Rin glaring at the front door as he heard the teen relax next to him and
turned to look at him. A disapproving look on his face, as he looked at the now
relaxed teen and frowned.
"Who was that?" Rin asked, as Reiji slowly got off the couch.
"No one you should bother with." Was the only response he got, before the teen
shakily walked back to his room.
Rin following after him the moment he noticed Reiji's legs were shaking and
stopped at the door. His classmate pulling open his closet and pulling out
clothes similar to the ones he wore the first day they met in the alleyway. The
clothing obviously worn out and sew together several times from tears and rips,
as Rin narrowed his eyes a little. Something was definitely wrong, but he
couldn't figure out what exactly it was. Reiji wasn't acting the same as a few
days ago, in fact he seemed like a completely different person. The Reiji he
knew would've flipped off that asshole and told him to fuck off, not let him
trample over him.
"Can I at least know his name?"
"No." A moment of silence passed as Reiji pulled off the shirt he was wearing
and pulled on a black shirt and the jacket he wore when they first met.
"I don't like him." Rin finally spoke bluntly, as Reiji changed into black
skinny jeans and pulled on some tennis shoes.
"You don't have to." Reiji spoke, as he grabbed the back up bottle of pills and
pocketed them in his jacket before looking at him. "I'll be back in two days.
Tell Okumura-sensei what happened and that I'll be back in school on Monday."
Without another word Reiji pushed past him and headed for the front door. A
frown appearing on Rin's face, as he suddenly grabbed his classmate's arm and
Reiji flinched slightly, before turning to look at him.
"Okumura-"
"You're not going." Rin spoke strongly, as Reiji's eyes narrowed. "I don't know
why, but I have a bad feeling. Don't go with him."
"Sorry, but news flash Okumura you don't own me." Reiji spoke, his tone slowly
turning back to normal. "I'm not some bitch you can order around because we're
mates and you have no right to know where I'm going or with who. Go study for
that damn math test or you'll flunk you dumbass."
The last of the sentence came out harshly enough to make Rin let go of his arm,
before Reiji stomped over to the front door and swung it open. His voice
reaching Rin's ears as he stopped beside the student dressed in street clothes
and ignored him as the guy put an arm around his waist.
"This better not take long. I have better things I could be doing." Reiji spoke
bluntly, as the male glanced at Rin and smirked as he put a hand on Reiji's ass
and guided him down that hall.
"It won't take long, Rei."
===============================================================================
"Fucking asshole taking Reiji like that!" Rin growled out as he swung his
sword.
Shura letting out a curse as she blocked the blow with her own weapon and
sparks flew. The grinding of metal ringing through the air as an enraged look
started to cloud over the teen's eyes. His eyes on the verge of turning
electric blue as they flicked between sapphire blue to electric blue and Rin's
grip tightened on his sword.
"He just woke up and he pushed him around like trash!" Rin jumped away from his
sparring partner, before he bolted for her and swung his sword.
The woman just barely about to bring her sword up to block the attack as her
leg gave out and she was brought down to one knee. Her arms shaking a little as
Rin's tail lashed out behind him. Ever since yesterday after Reiji left with
that student Rin had been fuming and constantly on edge. He could barely focus
on studying, on his homework and even cooking. For the first time in years Rin
had actually burnt dinner last night and Ukobach had to rip the pan out of his
hands to try and save what he could. Even Yukio could tell Rin was on edge and
obviously pissed beyond belief, which brought him to spar with Shura. An idea
Yukio thought would help, but even now Rin was pissed. Where the hell did Reiji
go with that jerk? Why was he so close to him? Why wouldn't he tell him
anything? Why? Why? Wh-why….?!
In a instant flames burst out across his skin and Shura cursed, knocking his
sword out of Rin's hand and activated the sprinklers over them. Holy water
spraying out of them as they were instantly doused in it and Rin stood there
quietly. His flames extinguishing and smoke rising from his skin even after the
flames had died out, signaling he was supposed to be in pain but he felt
nothing. He felt numb to the core, his mind blank and his gaze stayed glued to
the floor. Shura quiet as she shut off the sprinklers and the water dissipated,
smoke still rising from the quiet teen as she frowned and put a hand on her
hip.
"You should be happy, you finally caught me off guard." She spoke, before she
narrowed her eyes at his silence. "You gunna mope all day or you gunna open
your mouth and tell me what's wrong? Your flames act up when you're moody."
"He just left." Rin spoke quietly, as Shura raised an eyebrow. "He was in no
condition to and he just left with that guy."
A sigh left Shura the next moment as she put her sword away and sheathed Rin's.
The woman walking over to him, before she lightly smacked him with the case to
his sword.
"If your mate suddenly walks off with some random guy you don't know and he
seems devoted to it's obvious you'd be mad." She spoke as Rin looked up at her
in slightly surprised. "What? You were bound to find one and I know four-eyes
would be shit for romance advise."
"You're no better." Rin spoke bluntly as she suddenly hit him harshly with the
case to his sword and Rin flinched.
"Listen up, brat. I'm only helpin you once and you better show me some
respect." She spoke sternly, as Rin rubbed the back of his head and looked at
her with a sigh. "You even try callin the kid?"
"Don't have his number."
"Ask his friends?"
"Ain't in the dorms."
"You even think of looking for the brat? He couldn't have gone far from
campus."
"You kidding me, I'd take one step off campus and have the Vatican after me!"
Rin yelled as he rubbed a hand over his face and growled. "And on top of that
Reiji is with that dick of a guy who tramples over him."
"Wait, you mean that new kid in Cram School?" Shura asked, as Rin nodded. "He
has visions about you, why don't you try looking at his notes?"
"And have him try to kill me when he gets back, no thanks." Rin frowned, as
Shura sighed.
"Then we got no other choice." She spoke as she reached into the tattoo on her
chest and pulled out a key, throwing it at him. "Make sure to wear a hoodie and
keep your face hidden at all times."
In that moment Rin's eyes widened as he looked at the key and then the woman
standing in front of him in pure shock.
"And for your information, I never gave that to you." She spoke, as she walked
off with Rin's sword in hand muttering something about getting beer.
Her muttering being ignored as Rin looked down at the key and gripped it
tightly. Reiji better be ok.
===============================================================================
"Which way?"
"Left."
Silence filled the air as Reiji followed after the guy in front of him and his
friends fell in behind them. The air getting colder as the sun sunk lower in
the sky as Reiji tried to focus on the task on hand. The guy in front of him
totally focused on every inch of they're surroundings as Reiji tried to will up
another vision as another fork came up.
"Rei-"
"Forward."
"How much further?" He asked as they continued onward.
"Another ten minutes. Give or take."
"What do you mean give or take? I need a specific number, Rei. Don't fuck this
up."
"Kind of hard to be sure with the ringing in my ears messing up my powers."
Reiji growled out, as the male suddenly stopped and looked at him. "What?"
"When did the ringing start?"
"Five minutes ago." The lavender teen spoke, before footsteps suddenly sounded
from in front and behind them.
"Shit, they knew we were here." He growled, as he reached for the collar around
his throat and Reiji grabbed his wrist. "Rei-"
"Who is they, Akito?" Reiji demanded as the footsteps started getting closer.
His friends already reaching for the collars around they're necks, waiting from
the order from Akito.
"Legion."
"You told me you took care of them!" Reiji growled out, as one of his friends
let out a curse and unclipped his collar when the footsteps got too close. A
summoning circle lighting underneath their feet as a huge snake demon burst out
of the circle and wrapped around them in a tower of rock-hard scales, hissing
as Reiji pushed Akito against the huge snake and glared at him. "You told me
that you took over they're territory and took out the leader!"
"Well looks like the guy has nine lives." Akito spoke simply as Reiji glared at
him. "Lucky us he's on his last one."
"That has nothing to do with this, Akito! I told you I wanted nothing to do
with him!" Reiji yelled as the other guys stayed quiet, not looking at either
of them in regret. "You know what happened last time I-"
Before Reiji could react Akito grabbed his shoulders and looked down at him
with a serious gaze. His gaze strong and cold as a shiver ran down the teen's
spine and Akito growled.
"That's not happening again. You'll be nowhere near him, Rei. I just need the
directions to him." Akito spoke as the teen pulled himself away from him and
shook his head. "Rei-"
"I want nothing to do with this! You know I can't do this."
"Guys, sorry to break up your quarrel but he's here." One of the guys, Daiki,
spoke as he pulled off his hoodie and yanked off his collar. Wings bursting out
from his back as he tossed the article clothing to the cement, crossing his
arms across his bare chest. "He just got here."
"Well shit, so much for getting there with no problems." Kota spoke as he
yanked off his collar and his skin turned green, red tribal marks appearing on
his skin and his hands deforming. "This snake thing gunna keep us safe for now,
Nori?"
"Yeah, he'll keep us safe for now but it's not a permanent solution."
"I better not be a permanent solution, you brats. I hate your world."The demon
hissed, as Nori gave him a pat.
"Then take Reiji back Daiki." Akito spoke, as Reiji stood shaking beside him.
"He's not getting mixed up in this."
"Alright, I'll be on brat duty." Daiki sighed as he walked over and lifted the
shaking teen into his arms. "Save some for me though."
"Can't promise you that, bird brain." Kota teased, sticking out his tounge as
the winged teen grumbled. "Just don't get shot down."
"Please, that's not anywhere close to an insult." Daiki spoke, before taking to
the skies.
===============================================================================
The echo of the door closing put Rin on edge as he looked around and made sure
the hood covered most of his face. The teen pocketing the key, before he looked
around and pulled out the tag Shura slipped him before she left. The symbol
glowing with a bit of energy before Shura's snake familiar appeared at his feet
and looked up at him, waiting for an order.
"I need you to help me find Reiji Shiratori." Rin spoke, as the snake perked up
and looked around, before it slithered off.
Rin deciding it might've caught a scent and followed it. The echoing of his
footsteps and debris moving as the snake moved across the dirty cement reaching
his ears as Rin tightly gripped the fabric on the inside of his hoodie. To be
honest, Rin had no idea if coming out here was a good idea. Yeah he was
desperate in finding Reiji and he was worried, but for some reason he had a
sickening feeling lying heavy in his gut. Whether it was for the fact Reiji
might be hurt or that guy had his hands on him he wasn't for sure, but it was
sickening. His classmate should've never left with that guy after waking up in
that condition. He knew by first glance he was barely keeping himself up or
awake for that matter when he saw him curled up on the couch. He was slumped
into the cushions and he gaze was weak, but even through all that he somehow
managed to force himself to follow that jerk and disappear from campus. Whoever
they were, if Reiji was hurt, he was beating the shit out of that guy.
"Scent is moving."The snake hissed, as he looked toward the sky and Rin looked
up.
A black figure against the sky, flew on a pair of huge wings. Something in its
arms, before something suddenly collided with it and the figure plummeted down
to the ground. Rin's feeling in his gut growing heavier as he saw the figure
hold whatever was in its arms tightly and come crashing down. The noise
reaching his ears even from the distance he was at as the snake spoke again.
"Scent landed." It spoke, before Rin took off running.
His chest tightening as he sprinted off in the direction of the crash. His
heart thundering in his chest as one thought came to his mind. Reiji was with
that figure and they crashed. Reiji crashed and he might be hurt. Reiji.
Reiji….Reiji.
Alleyway after alleyway spread out before him and he sprinted down them, his
feet moving on their own as he bobbed and weaved past garbage cans and slightly
torn open gates. A wire gate ripping at his jacket and ripping it open, slicing
his right shoulder open and blood running down his arm as Rin kept running. His
mind blank except for the teen's name repeating in his head like a broken
record, before he harshly turned the corner and slammed his right shoulder into
the wall to keep himself from wiping out. Three figures further down the
alleyway as Rin stood frozen in place. The winged figure unconscious on the
ground and one wing broken at an odd angle, while two others were knelt down a
few yards away.
What looked to be a huge looking demon shifter was knelt down with Reiji in his
arms barely conscious. His classmate lying limply against the demon's leg and
shaking, incoherent words leaving his lips as the demon held his chin. A growl
leaving Rin's throat before he could stop himself, as the figure glanced his
direction and golden eyes reached him through the semi-dark alleyway. The gaze
full or power and dominance, as Rin held back a shiver and the figure ignored
him. The demon turning back to his classmate, as he looked Reiji in the eyes
and a language he couldn't understand left his lips. The first word causing
Reiji to yelp in fear as he tried to push away and pleaded, his body shaking
violently, before his attempts slowly became useless and weak. The very last
words causing the teen to suddenly fall limp in the demons arms as the demon
happily smiled and let him go.
"Stand." Came the simple command from the golden-eyed demon, before Reiji
quietly stood up.
His movements slightly sluggish as the demon stood in front of him and happily
smirked. The winged demon regaining consciousness with a groan, before he
noticed the pair and cursed as he quickly stood. The demon glancing that the
teen, before he smirked and pulled Reiji to his side.
"Nice try, but you failed. He's mine." He spoke, as the winged demon glared at
him and Rin felt his blood boil.
His? Oh hell no, Reiji was his. His classmate, his friend, his mate. He didn't
belong to that demon, he belonged to Rin and like hell he'd let him have him.
"Don't touch him." Rin growled, as the winged demon whipped his head around to
stare at him in complete surprise and the demon kept his hand on Reiji's hip.
"Get you're filthy hands off him."
"And who are you?" The man asked, as he glanced down at Reiji and ran his
fingers down the teen's side and to his belt. The man hooking his thumb around
the belt loop on Reiji's skinny jeans. "Don't think I've seen you before."
"You haven't, but you're touching my mate." Rin growled dangerously, as his
tail slipped out of his hoodie and whipped around behind him. The winged demon
staring at him in complete shock as he looked between Rin and Reiji as if he
was dreaming. "Get your hands off him."
"Sorry, but he's already mine." The man spoke simply, sliding a finger under
the teen's jeans and playing with the band on the teen's boxers. "He was mine
before you even came into the picture, and you won't be getting him back. Isn't
that right my little pet?"
With a smirk the man glanced down at Reiji and seemed pleased when the teen
blankly stared up at him, leaning against him. An action that put Rin over the
edge as flames burst over him and his hoodie turned to ashes. His eyes an
electric blue and the red ring bright against the dark, as he let out a harsh
growl and his tail smashed into the wall. The force cracking the brick as the
demon smirked and let go of Reiji's jeans.
"Get behind me."
Without a word Reiji stepped behind the man and he shifted. A huge black
panther the size of a nice sized horse replacing the man that had been standing
there, as the winged demon backed up into the alley behind him. A low growl
leaving Rin as he dashed after the panther at full speed, a ball of fire
erupting in Rin's palm before the panther smashed into him. The two of them
tumbling across the alleyway as they crawled and growled at one another. Rin
taking the most damage as he attacked the panther at full power without any
importance in his defenses and striked to kill. Reiji's blank gaze and hollow
movements flickering in his head as he put his all into every attack and
suddenly smashed into the wall. His head cracking against the wall and a growl
leaving him, as the panther held him down and growled dangerously. The demon
bearing his sharp teeth as Rin bared his fangs and growled, his flames hot and
singeing the panthers fur as Rin's gaze got dark around the edges. The blow to
the head already affecting him and his powers trying to heal the damage as fast
as they could, before the panther let go of him and smashed a huge paw into his
face. The impact breaking his nose and sending him directly into a pit of
darkness.

Legionary Abyss
Chapter 3
"I have to admit, your attempt was pretty well thought out." The huge panther
spoke as a demon tended to his wounds. "You however made one huge mistake
Akito, you brought my pet with you."
Beside him Reiji sat quietly, his gaze blank and his hand gently resting on the
panther's head. The boy just as beautiful as he last saw him as he glanced to
the four demons being held down my his underlings and sat up a little
straighter. The bigger one out of the four glaring at him with golden eyes full
of hate as he struggled against the demon holding him down.
"You of all people should've known bringing my pet with you was a mistake,
brother. He's already been touched by my spells, I can feel his presence within
my territory."
"Go rot in Gehenna." Akito spat, as his underling slammed his face into the
cement and his brother grunted in pain. "Spineless kitten."
A chuckle left the panther as the demon finally stepped away from treating his
wounds and walked away. Reiji moving to sit against him and place his hand
right back on his head, before the panther spoke again.
"If anyone is a kitten its you, my little brother. Such a naïve and stupid
plan. How could you believe that it'd work?" When nothing came out of the teen
he sighed and glanced at the other three teens behind him. "You even brought
other demons into our quarrel, how childish."
"Looks who's talking, fur ball. You're controlling Reiji against his will!" The
winged demon growled, as the one holding him pulled on his injured wing and he
yelped in pain.
"You see it as controlling, but in truth he loves it." He spoke with a smirk in
his tone. "He loves my hold over him and the weight of the spell, better than
that shrimp of a mate could ever give him. However, creatures like you should
know they're place you flightless little sparrow."
In an instant the demon holding him down grabbed his good wing and yanked it
back. A sickening crack echoing through the room as the demon screamed out in
pain and blood dripped onto the floor. His other one twitching despite being
broken, as he cried out in pain. The hobgoblin shifter growling dangerously as
he tried to get the demon holding him down off and watched the winged one cry
out in pain as he wing continued to be broken.
"Daiki!?" The shifter yelled, as he was pushed further into the ground.
"K-kota…"
The pathetic whimper filled the air as the panther stood up and Reiji stayed
beside him. The room quiet accept for Daiki's pained whimpers, as the panther
glanced at every one of them.
"Separate them and keep them guarded. I want the winged brat far away from the
shifter." He ordered as the shifter stiffened and Daiki let out a pleading
whimper as he was dragged away. Each of them disappearing one by one as Akito
bore daggers into him and Kota's screams and curses filled the air. The panther
pulling his eyes away once they were gone and resting them on his little pet
still sitting beside him as he gently nudged him and padded out of the room
with Reiji following him. "Let's go play my little pet."
===============================================================================
Silence. Darkness.
Beep!
Numbness. Loneliness.
Beep!
Pain. Agony.
Beep!...Beep!...Beep!
God, whoever was making that noise needed to knock it off! He didn't need that
right now.
Beep!...Beep!...Beep!...Beep!
Wait, what was beeping? He was in the alleyway…wasn't he?
"God, who did this?" A voice spoke in the darkness, the noise echoing.
"Don't know, Shura found him like this alone in an alleyway. He shouldn't have
been off campus to begin with."
Bon. Yukio…Why were they here? He wasn't in the alleyway? Wasn't he fighting?
He was trying to protect Reiji…Reiji!
In an instant the teen's eyes opened and blinding white light filled his
vision. A hiss escaping his sore throat as he forced himself up and shouts
reached his ears. His entire body shaking but his mind running a mile a minute
as the teen's name echoed through his head. Those empty eyes, hallow movements,
his broken presence. Reiji needed him! He needed to find him!
"Rin, you're going to hurt yourself! Stop struggling!" Yukio yelled as he
finally noticed the pressure on his chest, before all the pain came rushing to
him at once. A scream of pain leaving his lips as Yukio and Bon finally managed
to push him back onto the bed and look down at him in worry. His twin yelling
for more painkillers as Bon tried to talk to him. His words drowned out from
the pain and his heart thundering in his chest as the pain flooded his body.
His need to find Reiji drowned out as a nurse came over and injected the
painkillers into his IV. It taking a few minutes before the pain started to
slowly decrease to a point where Rin could only pant in pain. Both his brother
and Bon staring at him in worry, as Rin weakly looked up at them.
"Wh-what? Do I have something on my face?" Rin half joked as Bon winced a
little.
"Actually, you've got stitches but besides that you're face is fine." Bon
spoke, before he grabbed Rin's hand. "Don't even think about moving."
"Suguro is right, Nii-san. You're literally stitched together right now." Yukio
spoke with difficulty as Rin looked at the two of them. Reiji now filling his
thoughts with the pain no longer coursing through his body, as he roughly bit
his lip and cursed. "Nii-san, what's wrong?"
"I-I failed him…" Rin chocked out, as the two looked at him in slight
confusion. "I tried to s-save him and I failed. H-he's gone."
In the silence that followed a sob left the demons throat as he pulled his
bandaged left arm over his face with a little difficulty and cried. The demon
no longer caring if his younger brother and classmate were watching as he
sobbed into his arm and cursed himself. He was Reiji's mate, he was supposed to
protect him, keep him from harm, but he failed. That demon took control of him
and ripped his mate out of his fingers. To hell with the fact that he just
found out yesterday, he just felt so broken, so lost. It was like a switch had
been flipped inside of him to protect Reiji and them someone tore his heart
out. He felt mangled and torn apart and his chest hurt. His mate was gone, he
was all alone. Reiji was gone.
"Nii-san…" His brother's soft voice barely reached his ears as Bon scuffed.
"The hell you crying for, Okumura? You're not dead yet. Quit whining." Bon
spoke, as Yukio protested for him to be quiet. "Whoever's gone ain't dead yet
it if you're like this. Quit being emotional and pull yourself together!"
While he yelled, Bon ripped Rin's arm away from his face and yelled at him. His
classmate's voice ringing in his ears, but concern was laced in his gaze, as
Rin sniffed and bit his lip as the tears fell.
"He might as well be dead now." Rin hoarsely spoke, as Yukio gave him a
saddened look.
"Was it Reiji, Nii-san?" Just the mention of the teen's name caused Rin to
squeeze his eyes shut and the tears to continue to fall. The helpless broken
teen appearing behind his closed eyes as he sobbed. "The headmaster said he
disappeared…"
"Shit, don't tell me you two are mates?!" Bon growled as Rin opened his eyes
and Yukio's eyes widened when Rin nodded. "God damn it, no wonder you're a
mess. Whatever took him ripped you to shreds when you tried to protect him."
"M-more like get him back." Rin barely spoke, his voice slowly going out as Bon
watched him.
"Well whatever took him won't kill him based on how bad you are." Bon spoke, as
he glanced at his brother. "We'll try to find some kind of trail or clues to
where Reiji is. So quit crying and get some sleep. You need to heal, Okumura."
"Bon-"
"Don't try arguing with me now, Okumura. Go to sleep or I'm knocking you out."
His classmate threatened, which earned him a glare from Yukio.
"Th-thank you." Rin rasped out, as small smile on his face and Bon scuffed and
muttered some insult. The teen's eyelids growing heavy, before darkness washed
over him again.
===============================================================================
Echoed screaming spread throughout the halls as Akito cursed and leaned his
head back against the wall. The male glaring up at the ceiling as Daiki's
screaming filled his ears. Kota still screaming obscene curses somewhere in the
cellblock as chains rattled. Leave it to him to fuck everything up. The entire
mission was supposed to be simple, but bring Reiji with them had screwed
everything up. Don't get him wrong, bringing Reiji had got them further than
the four of them could've gotten themselves, but the last thing he had had on
his mind was the spell's remnants. Akito thought the remnants would've died out
by now, but as seen now it obviously wasn't. Now Daiki was suffering while his
mate Kota suffered from the echoes of Daiki's pain. Nori on the other hand had
been completely silent the entire time they'd been here, which was rare for the
teen. The guy always talked to himself and with his voice absent someone
must've used a spell on him, the kid's voice was dangerous enough on it's own.
Of course Reiji was probably suffering more than all of them.
The spell put over him was a heavy and torturous one, made to put the victim
under the caster's complete and utter control. Any command spoken by the caster
was fulfilled no matter if the victim wanted to or not, and each time the
victim tried to resist the spell would fight back. Literally chaining the
victim's soul down and making the victim completely powerless till the victim
gave in to the spell and let it consume them. Something that Reiji had
experienced once before and Akito vowed would new happen again, but he went and
fucked that up. His older brother had Reiji back under his command and it was
only a matter of time before Reiji fell pray to the spell's corruption once
again. It had taken months to bring him back from the spell's hold and now
Akito didn't think he could do it again. Not with the situation as it were,
they were screwed.
"You're very quiet, brother." Came a voice.
In an instant Akito looked up to see his older brother back in his human form,
Reiji standing next to him. The blank look still in his eyes and his hair a
mess, torn jeans and a baggy tank top with Legion's emblem on it covering him.
A pleased smirk on his brother's face as he held Reiji close to him and the
teen held onto his shirt.
"Enjoying your accommodations?"
"Rot in Gehennia." Akito growled out, as his brother frowned.
"You've grown quite a mouth on you, dear brother. Didn't mother teach you to
respect me and father?" He challenged as he ran his fingers against Reiji's
hip.
"Coming from the one that killed her, your words mean nothing Yuji." Akito bit
out, as the male's eyes narrowed. "Now what do you want?"
"I came to see if you'd behave and join me once again, but it seems that won't
be happening." Yuji spoke, as he glanced down the hall of cells and two of his
members started walking toward them with something between them. "I guess I
just have to persuade you instead."
A pained whimper reached Akito's ears before two members walked over with Daiki
being dragged between them. His clothes soaked in blood and his wings
practically mangled as he sobbed in pain. His entire body shaking as Kota
screamed in the background, wishing every member to rot in Gehenna.
"Yuji, what are you doing?" Akito spoke, a glare falling on the panther
shifter.
"Persuading you, my dear brother." He spoke, as he lifted Daiki's chin so he
could look at him and examine him. "I found this boy to be such an interesting
creature. It's rare to find a phoenix integrated with humans, let alone have a
mate such as disgusting as the green thing. I'm curious as to how long those
two have been alive, but that's the least of my curiosity. He looks like a
delicious creature."
"Yuji, don't you dare-!"
"All you have to do is come back home dear brother."
"A-Akito, don't…" Daiki whimpered out, as duller ember eyes fell on him. The
teen's body shaking from the pain as one of his mangled wings occasionally
twitched. "I-I'll be fine. K-Kota and me can handle it."
"You have till three my little brother."
"D-Don't listen to him-"
"One." Yuji started, as he raised a hand.
"I can handle the pain, it's nothing-"
"Two." A growl left Akito, as he looked between Daiki and his brother. Daiki
looking at him with pleading eyes, as he opened his mouth and Daiki screamed.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE SAY ANYTHING! I CAN TAKE IT!"
"Three." The snapping of fingers echoed through the cells, as Daiki heavily
panted. A smirk appearing on his face as Akito glared at him. "You're lucky to
have such devoted followers, my dear brother, but they're as foolish as you."
The tone in his brother's voice changed as he looked toward Daiki's shaking
body and ran his fingers through his hair. The gesture causing Daiki's wings to
try and spread out in defense, causing him to cry out in pain, as he glanced
toward him and then his two underlings.
"He's all yours, do whatever you want with him. If he dies he'll just come
back." Yuji spoke without remorse, as Daiki went rigid and Kota's screaming
came to a halt. Akito staring at him in complete shock, as Yuji ran his fingers
through Reiji's hair. "All you had to do was say yes, and I would've let your
little followers go, but now we get to play the hard way. I hope he screams."
"N-no…" Came the scared whimper, as the two followers started dragging Daiki
away. Tears rolling down the phoenix's face as he struggled and screamed. "NO!
GET OFF OF ME! KOTA!"
"Let go of him!" Kota screamed, as Akito stared stupidly at his smirking
brother. "I'll kill everyone of you! You'll all rot with Satan! I'll make sure
you all burn-!"
Kota's threats continued as Daiki screamed and pleaded. Akito falling
completely numb, as Yuji watched him with a pleased expression. Reiji silent
beside him and Nori's voice nowhere in earshot, as Akito slumped against the
wall. He failed them all, he brought them right to they're deaths. They were
never going to be free now, no matter what he did. He doomed them all.
"Enjoy your stay dear brother."
===============================================================================
"Any news?" Rin rasped out, as Bon sat down in the chair beside the bed.
"A few clues, but we're still looking." Came Bon's simple reply as he slumped
back against the chair and sighed.
It had been two days since Rin had woken up in the hospital and two days since
he had last seen Reiji. His brother and his classmate's were doing everything
they could to find information as to Reiji's whereabouts and Rin was still
stuck in bed bored out of his mind. Lucky him no one would let him even get out
of bed by himself and he had found out why on the first day. When a nurse
helped him to the bathroom so he could take a piss he had glanced at the mirror
and couldn't have helped the gasp that left his lips. He had been covered in
bandages and stitches from head to toe. Huge claw marks marring his skin and
huge bruises painted across himself. A huge set of claw marks stretched across
the left side of his face that stretched from this temple to his chin. His eye
unharmed by a huge miracle but the marks ran right through his eyelid, cheek,
lip and chin. Stitches held the skin together and a huge bruise around it,
something that would forever be a part of his face.
It was after that he demanded to talk to the doctor that put him back together
that he met Drew. A specialized demonic doctor from some secret branch no one
would give him the name of. He explained the process he went through to save
Rin from literally the brink of death and a single moment of that conversation
had caught the moment of his attention.
"I was about half-way through the surgery when your heart rate suddenly
plummeted." Drew explained as he sat in the chair by the bed and Rin watched
him. "You were going under and none of the medicine was working, when suddenly
your flames turned on. The only problem was that they weren't blue, they were a
light purple. A huge ringing had suddenly filled the room and your heart rate
suddenly went up. We had no idea what caused that to happen, but we had to
operate instead of question it. The flames didn't even turn off till we
finished with the surgery. Whatever that was, it saved you."
Of course Rin wouldn't doubt that Reiji had been the cause of it. Reiji had
said they were mates, and after he actually read about mates from Bon's class
textbook he didn't doubt the possibility it had been him. According to the book
mates could sense when the other was on the brink of death and save them from
death's grip for a period of time. It however only worked if they were mated;
something had Rin questioning how Reiji even had saved him. They weren't mated
and there was no way he could reach out for him. Plus he was under that guy's
control; there was no way he could subconsciously-
"Okumura, are you even listening to me?" Bon asked, snapping the teen out of
his thoughts. "Thought so. What you spacing out for?"
"If a demon is under a spell are they unconscious?" Rin suddenly asked, as Bon
stared at him dumbfounded.
"Where that hell did that come from?"
"Just answer the question, this is important!" Rin yelled, as Bon glared at him
and crossed his arms over his chest.
"It mostly depended on the spell."
"What about an obedience spell?"
"Yeah, they'd be unconscious in a sense." Bon spoke, as he reached into his bag
and pulled out an old looking book. "Sensei actually assigned us an essay about
demonic enchantments. They date back past the medieval times, when they called
them spells. Obedience spells where kind of popular back then, because it
caused the victim to follow the caster's orders down to the last word.
According to the book they were heavily researched and the exorcists found out
from a victim that he was locked in his head. He was technically unconscious,
but he was aware of everything and every time he tried to fight back the spell
would attack him. Each time it attacked if he got hit he was chained."
Bon handed him the book and Rin took it, ignoring the pain in his hands.
"I tried to research the chain idea, but there's nothing about it in any of the
books the school has for us. I'm guessing it's a way to get the victim to give
into the spell and break them. What happens when the victim breaks I have no
idea, but it sounds terrible."
Rin's grip on the book tightened as he read the text and Bon quietly watched
him. The demon tearing his eyes away from the page and running a hand through
his hair as he growled and slammed the book closed, shoving it at his
classmate.
"That's what Reiji's under." Rin managed to force out, as Bon stared at him in
complete shock and took the book. "That asshole gave him a command and he
followed it. He never fought back and he looked so blank. He had his hands on
him and Reiji didn't retaliate."
"Shit, I'll tell Okumura-Sensei." Bon spoke, as he pulled out his phone and
pulled up a text. The teen texting his brother, before he shut his phone and
looked at him. "You ok? You look like you're gunna burst into flames."
"No, I'm not ok." Rin growled out, as he glared down at the sheets and gripped
the sheets with his bandaged fingers. "My mate is under that spell and he's
suffering. I'm far from ok."
A sigh left Bon before a rush of cold suddenly fell over the teen and he
yelped. The teen jumping as Bon suddenly dumped the glass of water that had
been on the side table on his head. The teen's hair now completely soaked as he
turned and gave his classmate a small glare.
"The hell Bon!"
"Was cooling you off." He spoke simply, as Rin glared at him. "What, you're a
walking rag doll, Okumura. The last thing we need is you hurting yourself
more."
A huff left the teen as Bon's phone vibrated and he opened his phone.
"Your brother says that he'll tell Shura and the search team. They might be
able to track the spell."
"Tell them to hurry before you drown me." Rin mumbled, as Bon chuckled.

Chains rattled through the darkness as an unpleasant hum rang through the air.
A lone demon lying entangled in chains, the floor covered in an ancient
language. The circle spanding out further than the eye could see, as the boy
sighed and looked at his hand. His fingertips covered in blood and a heavy
chain wrapped around his wrist. The same ancient writing engraved on every link
as it glowed lavender. A color that made him left out a sickening chuckle.
"Sick asshole."
The words echoed through the darkness, as the screen a few feet away from him
came to life. Yuji smirking at him on it, as he reached out past his bodies'
line of sight. A sudden touch reaching the teen's cheek as he growled in
disgust and the chains tightened around him.
"Get off me you sick fuck."
"Now, now, Reiji. No need to be so hostile. You know you love it." Yuji's voice
echoed from the screen and across the darkness. The male on the screen wasn't
wearing a shred of clothing and Reiji had no doubt his body wasn't either. "You
used to be so obedient, my little pet."
"Rot in Gehenna." Reiji growled out, before he yelped when he felt a brush of
pressure against his thigh.
"You and my brother are so much alike now it's frightening, my little pet." The
panther shifter spoke, the brush of pressure slowly moving upwards and making
the teen shiver in disgust. "Ever since he ripped you from my grip a year ago
you changed. You we're so pure before, so raw. You were perfect and my little
brother tainted you."
"He didn't do anything. I grew out of you." Reiji spat, before the pressure
wrapped around his cock and the teen let out a gasp, his tail lashing out as
the teen shuddered.
"If you grew out of me, then why does your body remember me so well?" Yuji
challenged, as the pressure started stroking him and the teen whimpered.
"You're melting like putty."
"Get off me." Reiji whimpered, as a purr filled the darkness from the screen.
The noise vibrating straight through him, as tears filled his eyes and his tail
shook. "Let me go."
"Now why would I do that, my little pet? You're finally back home."
Suddenly the chains that were around his thighs tightened and pulled his legs
apart. A helpless yelp leaving the teen as he struggled against them and tried
to close his legs. The attempt failing as the chains around his wrist and
stomach tightened, holding him down, as his arms were raised above his head.
The tears in his eyes finally falling as he choked back a noise and the purr
vibrated through him once more.
"You're mine, you'll always be. That brat will never have you."
In an instant an image of Rin came to the teen's mind, as a sob finally fell
past his lips. His body shaking as he finally felt the pressure press against
his ass. Immense pain following just after as a scream fell past his lips and
the chains started growing brighter. The metal digging into his skin as he
tried to struggle against them and cried in pain. The tears falling onto the
floor without a single sound and the torture continued. The screen thankfully
out of his vision, but the noises of the man having his way with his body
ringing through his ears sending him into agony. Pain slowly blossoming through
his chest as Rin's shocked face appeared in his head. The one when he found
Reiji in this asshole's control. That single look had almost broken him right
then and there. He should've know the bond between them would grow even without
Reiji being there, and that moment had made all his fear reality. Especially
when Rin attacked Yuji to try and save him. He had been helpless to stop the
panther shifter from attacking him or stopping Rin, and when he had tried the
first chain had attacked him. The one that always hurt the most.
A heavy rattling rang through the darkness as the teen struggled and try to
turn over. The chain embedded into his chest rattling and growing heavier as
the teen cried out in pain. The heavy piece of metal glowing as it constricted
around inside of him and a scream tore past his lips. His heart thundering even
louder in his ears as pain rushed through the organ and through the rest of his
body. His vision turning white in the darkness, before all the pain suddenly
stopped and the chains loosened. His entire body shaking as harsh panting came
from the screen a few feet away from him. Blood slowly pooling to the floor as
the chains let loose there hold and tore at his skin. The chain in his body
loosening before the glowing fell to a dim light and a chuckle left the
shifter.
"I've always loved your screams."
With a click the screen shut off and silence filled the darkness. The dim light
from the chains the only light in the entire space, as Rin's mangled body
flashed before his eyes and a sob escaped the teen's lips. Tears falling from
his eyes as he screwed his eyes shut and sobbed. His entire body shaking as he
curled up in a ball and dug his fingers into the floor. Reopening the wounds on
his fingers in the process and a single whimper echoing through the darkness.
"Rin…"

Chapter 4
A breeze blew past them, before Rin suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked
around. His brother and Bon turning to look back at him in confusion as Rin
glanced around frantically.
"Nii-san, is everything ok?" Yukio asked, as Rin snapped out of his search and
turned to look at their concerned faces.
"Yeah, I just thought I heard something." Rin muttered, as he walked after
them.
The teen glancing behind him just in case, before he looked down at the ground
and frowned. He swore he just hear Reiji's voice. He sounded helpless and
broken…A sigh left the teen's lips as he shook his head and stretched
carefully. A few stitches pulling slightly that Rin ignored, as he tuned out
his brother and Bon talking to one another. He had finally gotten out of the
hospital after two agonizing weeks and they were heading back to True Cross to
meet up with his classmate's and Shura's search team. Which, to their surprise,
was longer than they had expected. Usually the teen would be fine in a few
days, but it had taken him two weeks to finally recover enough to be
discharged. No one knew why it had taken this long, and honestly Rin didn't
care. He was finally gunna be able to help everyone find his mate and that's
all he cared about.
His brother however kept glancing back at him every few minutes like he was
gunna fall apart at any given moment. Each glance making Rin frown more as he
tried to ignore his gaze and tried to look around and take his mind off his
brother's stares. The teen instead deciding it best he check what else was
healing. A simple twinge of pain falling along his back, behind his right
shoulder, as the skin slowly knitted itself back together and ate away at the
stitches. A few stitches over his left hip, stomach, right arm and his face
were all that he could find that was left as he reached up and ran his fingers
against the scabbed skin. The stitches gone since yesterday and the hardened
skin slowly healing underneath as Rin ran his fingers along it. The texture
grating against his fingertips as he reached the bottom of his chin and moved
to the one beside it. The movement repeating twice more, before he heard
someone clear their throat and Rin jerked back to reality. Yukio and Bon were
standing just in front of a door in Cram School, a frown on Bon's face and his
arms across his chest, while Yukio watched him in worry.
"You sure you want to do this, Nii-san? We can wait another day." Yukio spoke,
before Rin growled and pushed past his brother and toward the door.
"I've been sitting on my ass long enough, I'm not waiting another fucking day."
Rin spoke, as he pulled the door open and walked inside.
Bon muttering some comment on how Reiji was rubbing off on him without him even
being here, as all eyes suddenly fell on Rin when he entered. Shiemi instantly
gasping out in shock as she stood up without meaning to and the chair scrapped
against the floor. Izumo, Shima and Miwa staring at him in complete disbelief
as Shura's team gave him the same look. The woman herself however was looking
over his condition and once she deemed him acceptable, got off the table she
was sitting on and walked toward him. Her arm wrapping around his shoulders and
suddenly around his neck as she tried to mock choke him. A jerk running through
the teen, as he let out a protest and Yukio and Bon came in behind them.
"You little shit, we were all worried about yah." She spoke, as she messed up
his hair and chocked him.
"Yeah well blame the huge ass cat that decided I was a scratching post." Rin
growled out as he finally pulled out from her grip and rubbed his throat, his
younger brother sending Shura a warning glance.
"Be careful with Nii-san, he's still hurt."
"For the love of- I'm not made of fucking glass, Yukio." Rin spoke, as Shura
raised an eyebrow and his classmates stared at him like he hit his head.
"Well look who grew a mouth, while he was gone." She spoke, in an unpleasant
tone, as Rin shivered.
"S-sorry, I'm just really pissed is all." Rin muttered, as the woman waved him
off and sat back down on the desk she was previously on.
His brother pulling out the chair from the teacher's desk and sitting in it,
while Bon leaned against the teacher's desk and Shura grabbed a file folder.
The thing practically shoved in his face, as Rin took it and flipped through
the documents.
"Ever since the hospital told us to quit giving you information regarding this
case we found a few good clues." Shura spoke, as she watched him go through the
papers. "During the night you were attacked there was talk about a gang that
was going after a popular gang called Legion. From what we gathered Legion was
disbanded a year ago when it's leader was brutally killed by one of its
members. However, if this gang was suddenly after them it probably means a new
leader has taken the previous leader's place. The small gang that went after
them however is what had us a little puzzled."
"Maybe they didn't like that leader either." Rin spoke, never taking his eyes
off the papers he was reading.
"Whatever the case was we tried to dig a little deeper and-"
"I found out it wasn't a gang, but a group of five people that went after
Legion." Shima interrupted, as Shura gave him a slight frown. "I caught a few
girls wearing their tag and sweet talked them into telling me what happened."
A scoff left most of the people in the room as Shima whined at they're reaction
and frowned, continuing anyway.
"Anyway, apparently they were succubus dating two of Legion's members and
overheard them talking about a bunch of teenagers that tried to attack their
base. However, they were intercepted by the members about halfway through
they're territory and they engaged in battle. When the battle started there was
supposed to be five but they fought against three of them, which means two
escaped before it started. It also seemed that they're leader disappeared the
moment the battle started and…"
The rest of his classmate's words faded from the teen's hearing as he stopped
reading the document in the folder and his eyes widened. The three figures in
the alleyway appearing in his head, that bird demon unconscious and that man
holding his mate. The spell, that broken look, the panther, the fight, the
flames, blood.
"Nii-san!"
In an instant Yukio suddenly grabbed a hold of his shoulders and the teen
jumped back to reality. His brother's concerned face reaching his vision and
his flames licking the edge of his vision, as everyone stared at him in
complete shock. Shura blinking at him stupidly, as Rin started at his brother
and blinked.
"Sorry, I zoned out." Rin spoke quietly, as his flames snuffed out as Bon
smacked him with a slightly singed folder that had just been in his hands.
"I told you to quit doing that. Don't make me get a gardening hose in here."
Bon grumbled, as he handed Rin the folder again and the teen took it. "Now what
did you freak out about?"
"I ran into the other two that weren't in the battle." Rin spoke, as everyone
stared at him in surprise. "If Shima's information right I fought the leader."
"Wait a second, so you ran into the leader of Legion?!" Shima spoke in shock,
as Rin nodded.
"If its correct, yeah. I ran into an alleyway and I found Reiji, some winged
demon that was unconscious and a huge guy that turned into a huge ass panther."
Rin spoke as he closed the folder and rubbed the back of his head, ignoring all
the stares. "The huge guy put Reiji under an obedience spell and I got pissed
and attacked him. I wasn't really thinking straight but he suddenly turned into
this huge panther almost the size of a horse. I couldn't really get a good look
at him cause I was so pissed but he was really strong. I was totally outmatched
but I had to get to Reiji, that cat was trying to take him."
"You said it was a panther?" Shura asked, as she picked up an old looking file
and pulled out a photo, showing it to him. "This that panther?"
A single nod left the teen, as a troubled look appeared on the woman's face and
she pulled out a piece of paper and showed it to him.
"Any of these kids look liked the winged demon?" She asked, as Rin nodded and
pointed to a kid with the name Daiki under it.
"What does this have to do with that?" Rin asked, as she sighed and her search
team behind her suddenly feel silent.
"That panther you fought was the old leader of Legion." Shura spoke, as Rin
stared at her in shock.
"But you guys said he was dead."
"It seems that's not the case." She spoke, as she leaned back a little. "The
leader of Legion was know for having nine lives like a cat and was extremely
powerful. It was the reason Legion was so well known in the gang world and why
they were so well sought out. Gangs around the world would come to try their
hand at killing the indestructible reputation Legion held. A few deaths by
other gang leader's were recorded but no one kept count how many times he died.
The last time he died we thought that was the end, especially when the gang
disbanded. However that's not the case."
Without a word she put the photos back in their places and looked at him.
"If Legion's original leader is alive then five of True Crosses students are in
terrible danger." She spoke, handing him the paper from before with the
pictures on it. Reiji among them, as Rin noticed the guy that had come to
Reiji's room to drag him out among them and glared down at it. "Reiji, Daiki,
Kota, Nori, and the little brother of Legion's leader, Akito is among them."
"Wait, this asshole is the leader's younger brother?!" Rin yelled as he pointed
to the teen's picture and she nodded. "That asshole, he did it on purpose! He
was going after his brother cause he knew he was alive and he need Reiji to do
it!"
In an instant the paper turned to ash as his flames destroyed it, the rest of
his flames in control as Shura stared at him.
"Reiji can see the future so he needed him to lead him right to his brother. He
found out he was alive and he had to kill him, but he didn't want Reiji in the
middle of it. He tried to get one of the guys to take him back but it failed.
That asshole still took him!"
Silence fell over the room, as everyone stared at him. Rin overcome with rage,
as he quickly walked out of the room so they didn't have to see him like this
and growled. His tail lashing around and his flames flickering on and off as he
walked a ways down the hall before he finally crouched down and sat on the
floor. The teen wrapping his arms around his knees and closing his eyes, as he
tried to calm down. Images of everything flashing through his head, as his body
shook. The task becoming impossible, before water suddenly enveloped him. Drops
of water falling to the carpet from his dripping hair, as Rin sighed and opened
his eyes.
"Thanks, Bon." Rin spoke, as he looked up at saw his classmate holding an empty
bucket.
"No, problem. Looked like you need it." He chuckled, as he reached out his free
hand. "The other's are waiting so we can narrow the location down. Your head
cooled off enough?"
"Yeah." With the simple reply Rin took the hand given to him and was pulled to
his feet. "Let's find Reiji."

A sickening thud reached Akito's ears, before he opened his eyes. The shadow of
four figures standing in his cell, as he stayed slumped against the wall.
"You're quiet-"
"Leave them alone." Akito interrupted, as Yuji's voice feel silent. "It's me
who wants to kill you, I led them all here, I made the mission. It's me you
should be punishing, not them."
A chuckle fell over the air, the sound of soft whimpering in the background as
Yuji's shadow leaned closer.
"It may be your fault, but you said it yourself. You led them all here, and in
turn it's their fault just as much as it's yours. So they deserve punishment in
turn."
Without warning the door to the cell opened and someone was thrown at his feet.
Broken feathers landing in his lap, as Akito stiffened and tilted his head up a
little. The sight itself almost bringing him to the brink of nausea as he
stared into Daiki's blank eyes. His teammate naked at his feet and his wings
mangled, bruises and cuts littering his skin as he shook. Soft whimpering
leaving the phoenix's mouth as he curled up in a ball and for once Kota was
completely silent.
"You're teammates have earned they're punishment already, and yours as already
been decided." Yuji spoke, as Akito looked up at his brother and softly
growled. "I believe watching your teammates in their suffering is perfect for
you. So enjoy your new roommate."
With a clang the bared door closed and locked, before his brother left with
Reiji and his underlings in tow. Their footsteps echoing through the area,
before the door closed behind them. Akito instantly sitting up and ignoring the
chain around his neck as he reached out for his teammate.
"Daiki, can you hear me?" Akito spoke quietly, as he reached out and touched
the phoenix's shoulder.
A sudden scared cry left the teen, as he scrambled away and curled up against
the bars across the cell. His broken wings pressing against the bars and
somehow wrapped around him as he shook violently and whimpered. Kota's soft
whimpering reaching his ears from down the hall, before the rattling of chains
sounded from a little further away and the male's hand hit the cement floor.
His gaze staring blankly at his shaking teammate, as he silently leaned back
against the wall and harshly swallowed. The chain suddenly feeling tighter as
he held back the urge to puke and stared down at the floor.
"I-I'm sorry…"

Legionary Abyss
Chapter 5
The soft echoing of footsteps feel through the air as Rin walked with his
classmates and Shura's team. The lot of them stopping at the gates, as Shura
and Yukio turned to them. The air suddenly tense and silent as Rin gripped the
Kurikara and looked to the ground.
"As we discussed, stay in the teams you were assigned. Shura's team will be
acting on their own orders, if they give you an order you follow them." Yukio
spoke, as his classmates nodded. "Another team from the Vatican top secret
branch will be meeting us closer to the location. When we reach them separate
into the secondary groups and follow orders."
A coursed agreement left the people around them, as the gates opened and they
headed out. Bon walking ahead to fall by his side, followed by Shima, as Rin
pulled his hood over his head and his tail ducked under his hoodie. Everyone
slowly dispersing as Rin led the two teens behind him along the familiar route
from two weeks ago, the air bitter and chilly around them.
"You ok, Okumura?" Bon asked as they stepped into the network of alleyways,
Shima a little further behind them.
"No." Came Rin's simple reply, as he looked up at his classmate's face. "I just
want tonight to go ok."
"It will. Shura and Sensei pulled out everything they could for this." Bon
spoke, as he watched the alleyways ahead of them. "They even called in a
special team. It'll be fine."
"I just have this sinking feeling." Rin spoke, as he stopped and the other two
stopped beside him. "The territory barrier starts here."
"Alright, Shima lets go." Bon ordered as his friend nodded and pulled out three
tags.
The teen placing one on their backs, as Bon put one on Shima's and the two
started up a special verse. The words harmless for the half-demon as the tags
glowed and the verse finished. Bon giving him the nod to go as Rin took a deep
breath and stepped past the barrier. No pull or push against his entry as he
gave them a nod and they headed forward.
"We should be invisible to them now." Bon spoke, as Rin quickly headed through
the alleys with them behind him. "Now we gotta meet up with the team."
"Just keep up." Rin spoke, as he started off in a sprint.
The familiar alleyways stretching out before him as his feet took him down
through the darkness. The fence reaching his gaze as he carefully slipped
through it and made a few turns. A group of five demons standing in the same
alleyway Reiji had been in, as they turned and looked at them. The one to the
far left completely covered in a cloak, yellow eyes glowing beneath the hood as
a tail slinked around under the fabric. The one next to him a nymph and a frown
on her face as her sea green eyes looked him over. Green hair pulled back and a
special uniform for their branch covering her in a tank top, jacket and shorts.
The one in the middle was obviously a vampire, his eyes crimson and his skin
pale with handguns strapped to his waist and extra ammo. The same uniform on,
but with a trench coat that bulged in the back and jeans. Blonde hair in his
face as he watched them and turned to the one next to him. The demon smaller
than all of them, but was the most strange. His skin was pitch black, watch
looked like a memory drive pattern on his skin and his black hair stripped in
green. His eyes glowing the very same color and decked down in the same outfit
at the nymph. And finally the one of the far left was nearly white, his eyes
practically black and tattoo's covering his skin. His black hair short and
choppy, the special ops outfit covering his form but the jacket nowhere in
sight as well as his tail.
"You must be the Satan's son group. The one in the middle spoke, as he held his
hand out to Rin. "Name's Kris, starting from the left my team's names are
Draco, Elsie, Tech, and Zero."
"Nice to meet you." Rin managed to say, as he shook the demon's hand and Bon
started up a conversation with Kris. Shima trying to hit on the nymph as she
turned him down instantly and Zero laughed at they're antics. "So you're
splitting up to go with us?"
"Yep, that's what the orders were. Draco and Elsie are going with Renzo Shima,
Tech and myself are going with Ryuji Suguro and Zero is going with you." He
spoke as Elsie huffed and Zero chuckled at her.
"I'm only getting one of you?" Rin questioned, as Kris nodded.
"Honestly, Zero is all you need." He spoke, as he rubbed the back of his head.
"He looks plain, but he's the most powerful out of the five of us. Plus he'll
be able to help your mate out of that spell he's under."
At the mention of Reiji, Rin harshly swallowed and nodded.
"Then let's go." Rin spoke, as he pushed past them and Bon made a comment to
the new team not to mention Reiji around him. Bon and Shima breaking off with
their new teammates as Zero fell in step beside him. "You know the way? I
wasn't paying attention to the damn map they were using earlier."
A simple nod left the male as he took the lead and Rin fell in step behind him.
The alleyways around them turned crummier as they went as trash and debris
piled up and tag art became more common. Legion's tag slowly becoming more
frequent as they reached a nice sided building in the center of the alleyway's
network and Zero walked right out in the open. Rin watching him like he was
insane, till the demon turned toward him and saw his eyes were glowing, a
silent gesture to follow him telling him that he had a spell up to hide them as
Rin quickly followed him. The two of them quietly heading to one of the back
exits, as they passed some of Legion's underlings and noticed a few of they're
teams under the same spell heading toward the hideout.
A simple tap on the shoulder telling Rin that everyone was in position, as Zero
opened the door and they quickly headed inside before anyone saw the door open
on it's own. They're invisibility spell disappearing, but the tags still
working, as Zero looked around the empty room and turned to him.
"Stay behind me and stay as close as you can. The further you are away the
harder it is to not hit you with my spells." He spoke, as Rin nodded and Zero
pulled open the door. "This place has three floors. Our target should be on the
bottom floor, the other students on the second floor. Everyone else already has
the first floor distracted. We're going straight to the second floor, don't
help anyone."
A hesitant nod left Rin as Zero headed through the door and Rin followed. Gun
shots, the sounds of blades, verses and shouts filling the air instantly as
Zero took off and Rin quickly followed after him. Rin trying not to look at any
of his classmates as they fought against the enemy. Their shouting instantly
falling silent as he followed Zero down a flight of stairs and just barely
missed a bullet. The two of them reaching the door to the second floor, before
Zero stopped and looked at him.
"I'll take care of anyone that gets close, don't draw your sword. Your job is
to find the missing students." Zero spoke, as Rin nodded. "Then let's go."
Without another word Zero pulled the door open and headed inside. Shouts
instantly reaching his ears as they headed inside with one goal in mind. They
were going to get to Reiji under any costs.
===============================================================================
Shouting suddenly erupted from the cellblock and Nori lifted his head up a
little. The rattling of chains echoing in his ears and his gaze still black, as
he strained for some kind of indication as to who it was. The new presences
could either be friend of foe and under the circumstances he couldn't defend
any of his teammates. A muted growl vibrated through his throat as the presence
slammed into the bars and cursed.
"Zero, watch the spells! He almost took me out!" A voice spoke, before the
rattling of keys sounded and the cell door opened.
The first seal shattering as the blackness turned into a blurred picture of
colors. The figure a smudged blue as it seemed to look down at the floor and
mumbled something before it smudged the circles. More seals breaking as the
smudges suddenly turned defined and Nori was able to make out the figure to be
a teenage demon. His aura electric blue with a red haze, before he noticed a
small ball of lavender nestled close to his heart. He was Reiji's mate.
"Don't worry, there is probably a key in here for all these chains." The figure
spoke as he went through them and started trying keys. "Damn it, why are there
so many."
After the tenth key a lock finally clicked and the chains over his left arm
fell off. Nori instantly yanking the blindfold off his eyes as the figured
gasped and Nori opened his eyes. It taking a few moments for his vision to
clear before his eyes fell on the teen. A black hoodie covering him and the
hood trying to cover the claw marks on his face, while jeans and shoes covered
his lower half. A sword attached to his hip and the keys in his hands as he
stared at him in surprise.
"You're eyes are changing colors." He spoke stupidly, as Nori narrowed his eyes
toward the keys and he finally got the hit. "Shit sorry."
Without another word the teen went back to trying to open the locks. It taking
him ten minutes to rid the rest of the chains off him, minus the heavy chained
collar around his neck and the special sealed cloth covering his mouth. The
demon about fed up, as he snatched the keys from the teen and easily used the
correct keys and yanked the collar and cloth off his person. A heavy sigh
leaving him as he carefully stood up and threw the keys at the teen.
"About time, I got tired of talking to myself in my head." Nori spoke, as he
carefully stretched and pulled and cracked all the kinks out of his body. "If
you're here to get Reiji, we're gunna need Kota, Daiki and Akito's help."
"I already know that, Nori, don't lecture me." The teen growled out in a tone
close to Reiji's as he turned and headed out of the special cell. "Name's Rin,
so remember it and don't fall behind."
A frown appeared on the witch's face as he followed after the teen out and
instantly noticed the battle near the entrance to the block. One lone demon
taking them on all at once as he cast out spells. Each word strong and heavy,
but he still had more work to do. The spells weren't complex enough-.
"Quit standing around, where are your friends." Rin spoke up, as Nori turned
and pointed to the cell closest to them.
"Kota's in there. He's been quiet for awhile."
A nod left Rin as he headed for the cell and worked through a few keys before
the door opened and he pulled it open. Inside it was pitch black till the light
flooded in and Nori noticed Kota curled up in the back of the cell, a single
chain around his neck as whimpers reached them. Rin making a move to go inside,
before Nori placed a hand on his shoulder and stopped him so he could move past
him.
"Daiki's echo is affecting him. If you go in he'll maul you." Nori spoke as he
stepped inside.
Rin thankfully staying outside the room, as Nori knelt down beside the shifter
and tapped the collar. The thing shattering in an instant, before he ran his
fingers through Kota's hair and his spell left his fingertips. The haze lifting
from his eyes as he temporarily put a wall up between their bond like a chain
link fence and Kota came back. His green eyes coming back as he groaned and
looked up at him.
"K-kota? How-?"
"Reiji's mate started a riot." Nori spoke, as Kota sat up and put a hand on his
head.
"You put a wall between us?! Are you insane!? Daiki is-!"
"Right now we need you conscious so you can help us. I put up a chain fence,
not a cement wall. He can still feel you, but he can't affect you." Nori
explained, as Kota calmed down and gave him a frown. "We're going to get him
and Akito next so get up."
A nod left the demon as he sat up and let himself shift. A nice sized hobgoblin
replacing his teammate as he dashed out of the cell and ran down the hall. Nori
gesturing Rin to follow his teammate as he nodded and jogged after him. The
trio heading to the end of the block before they reached a serious of open
barred cells. The first figure to appear in their vision was behind a bundle of
bloodied ember feathers, before Kota cried out and ran over to his mate. His
presence causing the bundle to shift a little as Kota buried his nose into his
mate's feathers. The gesture causing a whimper to leave him, as Rin opened the
cell and Kota ran inside to his mate. His teammate disappearing into the bundle
of feathers and Nori glanced toward their leader.
Akito sat against the wall in the back. A chained collar around his neck and
his gaze glued to the floor. No movement leaving him, as Rin unlocked the
collar and pulled it off of him. His leader instantly shifting into a panther
the size of a big miniature pony, before it lay there motionless. A sigh
leaving Nori's lips as Rin looked up at him in confusion and Nori knelt down
beside the panther and smacked his head.
"Quit moping, fur ball. Reiji's mate is here to get us all out. I'm fine,
Kota's fine, Kota's taking care of Daiki and you need to snap out of it." Nori
spoke, as the panther didn't move. "Don't make me drag you out and trigger all
your memories."
In an instant fierce gold eyes glared up at him and Nori gently hit the
panther's head.
"Get up and help us find Reiji. You've got revenge to dish out, remember?"
"Don't remind me." Akito growled, as Kota crawled out of the bundle of feathers
and shifted back. "How is he?"
"Barely responsive but he knows its me." Kota spoke, as he gently lifted up the
bundle into his arms. "I'm taking him upstairs to the medics Reiji's mate
brought."
"How'd you know about that? I never said anything?" Rin asked, as the demon
from before appeared at the cell.
"I told them." He spoke, as he tapped his forehead and gestured they head out.
"We can't stay here long, or Yuji will come up here. We have to head down
before he moves."
"Alright, let's go get Reiji." Rin spoke, as he pushed past them all and headed
for the stairs while Kota headed upstairs.
A single thought reaching Nori's mind as he watched the teen walk ahead of
them. After this was over, Reiji was finally going to find a safe heaven in
that teen's arms.
===============================================================================
The sound of the footsteps echoed in Rin's ears as they reached the third
floor. No door for the landing as he stepped inside the floor and found himself
in a tatami matted room. The walls pure cement and a set of stairs leading to a
cement platform with Legion's tag spread across the wall. That huge panther
lying under it on a huge looking couch as gold eyes fell on them and Akito
growled dangerously as he stopped beside Rin.
"I had a feeling you'd come for him." Yuji spoke, as he stepped off the couch
and onto the cement platform. The shifter reaching his full height as he looked
to each of them. "You're missing two of your members however."
"Kota took Daiki for medical help." Nori spoke plainly, as he calmly looked at
the demon. "After what he was put through we couldn't bring him in your
presence in his condition."
"Smart, for once, but that's not why you're here." He spoke, as he glanced to
his side where an open door was. "You're here for my little pet."
Almost on cue Reiji walked out of the door and into the room. The teen dressed
in a tank top tagged with Legion's mark and jeans. His gaze as blank as before
as he walked forward till he stood beside Yuji. A low growl leaving Rin as he
tightly gripped the Kurikara and held back the urge to slice the feline apart.
A small pressure on his mind from Zero to hold off and stick to the plan as
Yuji smirked at him.
"He's been very difficult since he's came home." Yuji spoke as he glanced at
Akito and the younger brother growled. "Even now he won't obey, but it won't
take long before I break him again."
"That's not happening again!" Akito yelled before Rin could speak. "He's been
through enough Yuji, let him go! It's me you need to focus on!"
"You're not worth my time." Yuji spoke, as Akito spoke as he glanced up at
Reiji. "Even my pet could take you on if you battled at full strength."
"You're forgetting he has me with him." Nori spoke as Yuji glanced at him.
"True, but you won't. Not with my pet here."
"You forgot about me." Zero spoke. "Black out."
In an instantly Reiji fell unconscious and hit the floor. Yuji turning to look
at the teen before Akito suddenly tackled him into the wall. Nori summoning a
huge snake as a battle suddenly erupted between the three of them and Zero
grabbed Reiji. Rin right behind him as they disappeared into the room behind
the one they were in and placed Reiji on the floor. The door closing as Zero
turned to the teen and placed a hand on his forehead and chest. Faint ghost
like chains appearing on Reiji's body, as Rin stared at all the metal covering
his mate's body and Zero looked at him. Complete seriousness in his gaze, as
Rin nodded and placed his hands over Zero's.
"You get one shot at this. Don't lose him."
"I won't."
"Dream fall."
The next thing Rin knew, everything turned black.

Legionary Abyss
Chapter 6
Within the darkness a single drop of water fell among the silence. It's
presence echoing in the circle and vibrating through the teen's body as he
opened his eyes. The chains rattling as he shifted a little and a soft glow
came from them. Footsteps heading toward him as the presence reached out for
him and wrapped around him. The aura calming and protective as Reiji pushed
against it and tried to destroy it. The blue force gently pushing back, before
it wrapped around him in a soft embrace and caressed him. The action causing
the teen to carefully open up, before the aura slowly tightened around him and
seemed to hug him. A small hum leaving the blue aura and vibrating against his,
before the footsteps brought the figure into his view.
The outline familiar to him, as a gasp reached his ears and the figure ran over
to him. The presence to fast for his eyes to follow, before the figure suddenly
was beside him and kneeling next to him. A hand reaching out and touching his
face, before Rin's face appeared in his gaze and tears welled up in the half-
demon's eyes. This was a cruel joke. Yuji was messing with him again. He
finally learned to toy with him even in here. He was never leaving.
"Reiji, thank Gehenna you're ok." The so-called Rin spoke, as a relieved look
appeared on his face.
"Quit screwing with me." Reiji rasped, as the fake stared at him in confusion.
"Reiji, what are you talking about?"
"Quit screwing with me Yuji. I finally got used to your antics in the real
world, but I can't take it in here." Reiji chocked out, as tears filled his
eyes. "If you're going to go this far just kill me."
"Reiji, it's me Rin!" The fake yelled, as he shook him and the tears rolled
down the chained demon's face. "Yukio and the others helped me find you.
They're upstairs fighting everyone! We need to get you-"
"Shut the fuck up. Just kill me."
Silence filled the darkness as the fake stared down at him, before a growl left
the fakes throat. The figure ripping the hood off his head, before Rin's face
came into view and huge claw marks were revealed on the right side of his face.
The skin scabbed over and an angry red, as he gazed down at him with determined
electric blue eyes. A red ring around the iris as he pulled the teen into his
arms and soft blue flames spread across the figure's skin. The flames gently
licking against the teen's skin, but not burning him as the warmth reached him.
"I'm not some fucked up illusion that oversized cat made." Rin spoke in his
ear, holding him tightly as the chains rattled. "It's really me. I spent two
weeks in the hospital cause my powers wouldn't heal me. You saved me from the
brink of death and I spent the past few days searching for this place. Yukio
and the others are on the first floor battling everyone. I got your friends out
of the second floor holding block, Kota took Daiki to get medical help and
Akito and Nori are fighting Yuji right now. Zero dragged you out of the way and
used Dream Fall on me so I could enter the spell. It's really me, please
believe me."
By now Rin was shaking. His hold on him tighter than the chains covering him as
he held back tears and his flames grew warmer. A warmth that didn't burn but
soothed him, the same as the aura gently humming around his own. This was Rin,
this was his classmate, his friend, his mate. His mate had come to save him,
Rin.
"R-Rin?" Came the shaky reply as he let go of him a little and looked down at
him, nodding. "Y-you finally came."
"I'm sorry it took so long." Rin spoke, as he gently cupped his cheek and
stroked his thumb along the skin. "Let's get you out of here."
A small nod left the teen, as Rin looked up into the blackness and yelled out
to nothing.
"Zero! Start breaking the seals!"
Silence fell over the space, before something suddenly shattered. The first
ring of the circle out in the distance breaking and softly glowing, before a
chain on his person shattered. The weight of it disappearing as the seals
started to break one by one. Light slowly illuminating the dark space, as Rin
held him close and the chains slowly shattered. The aura gently vibrating
against his and rubbing against him in affection as Rin's flames slowly spread
across his skin as the chains disappeared. Tears rolling down Reiji's face as
one lone chain was left. The heavy chain inside his chest glowing, as Rin
reached out and placed a hand over it. His electric blue eyes gazing into his
as he gently wrapped his hand around it. The center of the spell the last seal
left, as Rin softly smiled.
"Let's take you back home."
Rin pulled on the chain as it shattered in his fingers and white light filled
they're visions. The final seal shattering, as Reiji wrapped his arms around
his mate and hugged him tightly, softly crying.
"Take me home."
===============================================================================
The next moment Rin woke up to rumbling from the room next door. The teen
looking up to Zero giving him a nod that it had worked, as Rin quickly ripped
off his hoodie as Reiji stirred below him. The teen gently lifting him mate
into his arms, as Reiji opened his eyes and gazed up at him with tired clear
eyes. A small smile appearing on Rin's face as Reiji reached up and touched the
marks on his face.
"It looks like he used you as a scratching post." He rasped out, as Rin
chuckled and helped his mate into the hoodie to cover up the tagged tank top.
"Yeah, that overgrown cat didn't like me." Rin spoke, as the noises got a
little louder.
"It's best we get out of here." Zero spoke, as Reiji glanced at him and Zero
stopped to give him a soft smile. "I'm Zero. I'm sure your mate briefly spoke
of me."
"Yeah, thanks Dream Walker."
"Anytime, scribe."
A small nudge to Rin's consciousness from Zero told him they had to go, as Rin
lifted Reiji into his arms and stood up. His mate for once not complaining, as
they made it out of the room and toward the stairs. A bit of mind information
relay coming down to a definite answer from Akito telling them to get out of
there and take Nori with them so he could finish off Yuji. An answer none of
them argued with as they quickly headed up to the second floor. All the
underlings still thankfully knocked out, as they made it to the first floor and
out of the building. The four of them instantly being greeted with their entire
team, as Yukio looked at them in relief as Rin reached them.
"Thank goodness, you guys are ok." He spoke, as Rin sat down on the ground so
he could set Reiji in his lap and lean him against him. His mate not bothering
to complain as Yukio noticed it was Reiji and pulled out his first-aid kit.
"Let me-"
"I'm not physically injured for don't bother." Reiji finally spoke, as he
pulled the hood off his head and Yukio stopped what he was doing to stare at
him. "Emotionally I'm a fucking mess, but I'm fine physically so put that damn
thing away."
"You sound fine to me." Bon spoke with a frown, as Reiji shot him a stern look.
"Shut it, chicken head."
"Chicken head?!" Bon yelled in frustration, as he grabbed Reiji's shoulder and
his mate freaked out.
A sudden yelp leaving him, as he fell out of Rin's lap to get away and hit the
cement. The teen shaking, as Bon suddenly pulled his arm back and Yukio yelled
at his classmate. Rin carefully pulling the teen back into his lap with a
flinch from his mate, before he held him close. The teen focusing his aura to
gently wrap around his mate's, before Reiji managed to call down enough. Yukio
still yelling at Bon, before the building behind them suddenly gave way. Gasps
and shouts leaving the group, as Rin held his mate close to him and watched the
building collapse in a cloud of dust.
"Akito!" Nori yelled, as he tried to run toward the dust cloud and Kota held
him back.
The once completely composed teen now shaking and staring at the building as if
his entire world fell apart as he legs gave out. Kota barely managing to catch
him as he tried to get Nori to respond to him, but instead got nothing but
silence and a blank gaze from him. Reiji shifting in his lap a little to watch
the entire exchange before he let out a soft breath.
"I never thought they'd be mates." Reiji softly spoke so only Rin could hear.
"They never showed it, but it was like Akito was never anywhere without Nori in
his range of sight."
Within a matter of moments soft sobs left the witch, as he curled up in a ball
and Kato transformed and made a fool of himself to try and cheer up his
teammate. The effort useless, as the teen refused to move and everyone around
them was silent. Reiji leaning heavily against him, as Rin slowly rubbed his
back and held him close to his chest so no one could see him crying. It was
obvious that Akito meant a lot to the four of them as Daiki sat down beside
Kota and leaned against him quietly. The teen still barely coherent but enough
to understand what had happened as he folded his bandaged and semi-repaired
wings behind him and let Kota climb into his lap. The three of them silent as
the dust from the building settled and no one said anything, or more like they
couldn't. No one seemed to have the heart to say they had to go.
Of course after a few moments Nori suddenly sat up suddenly and looked toward
the building. His eyes wide as he suddenly got up and took off running toward
the fallen building. Almost everyone shouting after him to get away from the
dangerous rubble, but he ignored them as he stopped a few feet short of it and
activated one of his spells. The rubble slowly levitating and moving out of the
way, as he moved the building out of the way piece by piece. Zero ending up in
front of everyone, telling them to stay back so they couldn't get hurt, as they
watched the teen slowly dig through the rubble. It taking him ten minutes,
before the stairwell to the first basement floor came into view and a bundle of
black appeared.
Nori carelessly throwing the piece of ceiling aside, before he ran and stumbled
over pieces of the building to get to the figure. The teen collapsing to his
knees beside it, as he pressed his ear against its chest and soft sobs reached
them. The witch hugging the bundle of black fur with one hand and trying to get
the rest of the rubble off him, before he got fed up and turned to all of them.
"QUIT STARING AND HELP ME!" Nori screamed, as everyone around him jerked back
to reality. "HE'S HURT! HELP ME!"
Before Rin could even let out a sigh of relief everyone that could help ran out
toward the witch to help the panther shifter. Reiji finally pulling his face
out of Rin's chest, as a small smile appeared on his face the moment he noticed
Akito's unconscious feline form and let Rin hold him tightly against him. Their
groups yells and orders slowly fading out around them, as Reiji curled up
against him and nuzzled into the crook of his neck. A small chuckle leaving Rin
as he rubbed his mate's back.
"Someone is cuddly." Rin joked, as Reiji huffed.
"Don't get used to it, matchstick. You're just warm." Reiji muttered, as Rin
blinked at him.
"Matchstick? That's a new one." Rin teased as Reiji poked his scabbed cheek and
he winced in pain.
"Watch it or I'll go cuddle with my teammates."
"Ouch, you're mean." Rin huffed, as he rubbed his cheek.
"Well that's who your mate is, so get used to it." Reiji grumbled as Rin softly
smiled.
The teen placing a soft kiss on his mate's forehead, as Reiji's cheeks turned a
