Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga

By Tayla Drago

Episode # 1 - Small Beginnings

(Tayla: I'm back! 'Or rather, it's back'. Time for season two to start where we left off, to be the very beginning of a whole new adventure and such. Hell yeah! :D Now, shall we begin? Where do I even start? By the way….It takes place during Rin and Kiyomi's team training after the truth was told, Amaimon, fearing the Spawn of Satan, to still be saving Miwa's life from the Gufu with his arm was still hurting and such. So yeah, that's pretty much it to still be training during the Summer break. What happen before then 'way before episode 19 started' during the Summer break and such and still train to pass as Ex-Wire at True Cross Academy? So now time to enjoy the show.)

Phase # 1 – Shadows

Life. Love. Learning. So many things I wish to understand from the humans more and more than I do in my world. I am different, and yet I know I'm a lot a like them, like that human woman. Like I want to be free from my kingdom since my mother pass on leaving my cruel father to be in charge as king in some parts to rule certain demons, and where does that leave me…? A prince to the air who wishes to live a normal life without royalty? No. I have decided to move forward to learn a lot from this world. I don' care of what my father said or if he's king or me as a prince, I want to be more than that and I will. I'm off to be free forever. So, goodbye, father…

And…Scene!

Good intro there, huh? You'll guys be seeing and reading that part a lot in every chapter/episode for all of you to know that. Anyway…Let's begin also try guessing what that part means if you can because it's important. It all starts off in True Cross District 5 'where Mephisto always like to owe everything in the area, doesn't he?' – a group of exorcise surround one part of the area to capture of certain person. Wait…Person or a demon? With one of them keeping guard for a mother and her son to look at the stay out of danger. A boy name Saturo goes running in the dangerous area to see the fight for the exorcise member and his mother try stopping him.

When suddenly, a man in a black long coat wearing a gas mask appears to grab hold of the innocent Saturo for a few people try to stop him from the other building 'with Goblins inside as well'. They need to save the child from this awful person. Using a little kid as a human shield, that's mess up! A man name Saburota Todo comes to the rescue to tell the strange to stop; only to have a jar of some strange looking eye in it that looked important and dangerous from the fear in Todo's eyes to do something dangerous. Like what though…? Watching from afar were three looking shadow figures being girls from – one looking like an old lady with long nose with a blue hat, one big with a yellow hat, and the other with a sweet look and a red hat on. Sisters? Were they friend or foe? They take off within the shadows. More Shadow Demons…? With one being the mean looking from somewhere close in Assiah all the way from Gehenna. What was going on here?

Elsewhere at True Cross Academy of one looking abandon type drone's rooftop is where Rin Okumura, Kiyomi Saki, Kuro, and Zuku were training to control their powers, more on Rin's end to control his blue flames more and more since his Koma Sword was fix in time. With Kuro watching, while Kiyomi was lifting weight 'with Zuku's help belonging into them for her to exercise', as for Rin…You could say that he's trying to improve a bit. More like it was their secret training for the four to only know about.

"One! Two! One! Two! One! Two!" said Kiyomi while working out. "Come on, Zuku! Let's keep it up! Feel the burning! Let's go! Go! Go!"

Looks like those two were doing well, and remember this was before Kiyomi knows that Zuku was Kagome Saki as a new Familiar during the time and escape from Gehenna in time. While Rin was controlling his flames so far, with a lot work to be done. Again…

"Ah, man…I got wrong again, didn't I…?"

"They're such pretty blue…" said Kuro who was sitting down next to Rin.

Zuku got mad to have the fire get in her way during Kiyomi's training, she flies over to Rin to pinch him in the butt. He got mad to be in pain.

"Stupid Zuku…!" he said. "What the hell was that for!?"

The shadow demon sticks her tongue out at Rin for Kiyomi to pull her own shadow back to where she was standing at.

"Zuku…! What did you do to Rin this time?" She sees the problem. "(It didn't give her the right to pinch him…)" Kiyomi turns her attentions to Rin next. "You still having trouble?"

"What do you think, Kiyomi." Said Rin. "This is hopeless. I can't get the hang of it. Crap…"

I can't blame Rin for being tired in doing so, he was trying very hard even with Kiyomi supporting her boyfriend all the way through.

"Hey, don't say that. I'm trying too and so is Zuku."

"Easy for you to say, that little thing's part of you. Zuku's like a spoil kid!" said Rin.

So Zuku was 'being Kagome's child split personality of hers in that form'.

"Come on, Rin. I know you can do it." Said Kiyomi.

With Kiyomi sweating to have her breasts being big from her work out clothes and her butt, Rin was turn on by her outfit.

"(Super-hot…!)" Rin tries being sexy to his girlfriend. "Come here, Kiyomi, and let me get that sweet breasts of you're a squeezing and your tight ass."

And so, says Rin to being sexy with his hands moving around to hold them, leaving her embarrasses to do on top of the roof of the building outside.

"But, Rin, we're training…"

"Come on! It'll help me train more!"

Kiyomi laughs to go over to Rin to hug him, right where his face was in her big breast to feel so nice.

"Oh, you…"

"So, sweet and romantic…" said Kuro.

With Rin hugging Kiyomi's breasts, he then had the other hand on her butt.

"(Sweet!)" he said with his nose bleeding.

"Rin…If you wanted some loving, you should've just asked if we're alone in our rooms. This is silly to be doing this right now."

"Sorry."

As the two were making out from hugging, kissing, and such all the ground for Kuro and Zuku to give them space, soon they hear a familiar voice to come up and check on them…For Rin, Kiyomi, and the other two familiars weren't the only ones to know about their secret hide out for training.

"Unbelievable…I don't see any improvement at all." It was Shura herself. "Kiyomi is fine so far, for her and Rin to love each other, but be serious for once!"

Shura Kirigakure, Kiyomi's older step-sister who was related to Kazu Saki being their father but those two had different mothers. And she was wearing her P.J.'s on while she was outside. Super…

"It's Shura." Said Kiyomi.

"Shura? (So much for our make out time…)" Rin was a bit upset.

Kiyomi just kisses him on the cheek to make her man feel a bit better.

"To be continued, Rin." She said. "Morning."

"Morning, Rin…Morning, Kiyomi, Zuku, and Kuro."

Well, someone as powerful female demon like Shura was and a higher rankings of an exorcist, she sure was tired in the mornings.

"You found us?" ask Rin. "Kiyomi and I been training in secret…"

Looks like she knew from the very beginning about their secret spot.

"I knew you two have been training up here every morning."

"What? Seriously?" Rin was shock.

For Zuku looked at Kiyomi to nod a yes of knowing about this for a while now, she just goes on with her day without a care in the world.

"That's my sister for you…"

"Well, duah…" she said. "My job is to monitor you as a potential threat." Shura then pointed to the ground. "As Kiyomi is training herself with Zuku to control her powers more and more every day, you still got a lot to do, Rin. And didn't I say not to burn them all? You're supposed to light the two on the sides simultaneously while avoiding the middle one."

And yet, Rin had nothing good to doing that on his end.

"I know that!" he said to Shura.

"We have been trying, Shura, I'm helping him out besides us in love as a couple." Kiyomi said to her sister.

Shura was being serious here because of Rin had to be doing this.

"Less dating at times and more training, you two! Listen, Rin, if your flames ever go out of control again, you'll be executed as an exorcism target."

Rin already knew that…From that camping trip for Amaimon to set Rin off after mind controlling Kiyomi to fighting, lose control from his powers, his sword almost cracked, and almost burned the entire forest to defeat that mad demon it was something else to almost losing his woman to Mephisto to save her man in time in court; between a fair trial to do so, Arthur trying to hurt him, and finally battling Amaimon in the end for the others to fix it 'with Y-Kun's skills' for Yukio, Bon, Shiemi, Izumo, and Shima helped out in the end but Miwa who still fears him a bit and Nemu stayed behind. So yeah, never to happen again!

"How could I forget that day… (What a nightmare…Because of my clothes still need some cleaning twice a day, I'm stuck wearing a girls' uniform until then. Damn it, Mephisto!)" Yeah, Kiyomi has too due to demon moth powered she got to be getting sick.

"You see?" said Shura. "Start by getting control of your flames. Don't draw your Koma Sword until you do. Kiyomi, both you and Zuku must make sure that your boyfriend does that. Go on dates and kissing-rubbing bum-bum later to be training more and more every day until he gets something right."

Rin and Kiyomi's faces turn red to not have sex unless they were using protection to be careful.

"We know that!" the two lovers said.

Soon Shura gets a call on her cell phone to get a report to come in District Five right away, must be getting worse then if it was that urgent.

"Understood." She said to hang up after. "Let's get moving, Rin. You too, Kiyomi. And keep Zuku by your side no matter what."

With Rin confused and Kiyomi gets herself and Zuku all set to get a move on for another mission to do 'as a team', the area was now being blocked up to create a scene for the others to be seeing it with lots of exorcists surrounding the areas with others being treated from the event that just happened this morning. Yukio Okumura makes a scene to see what was going on and to meet up with Todo who was lucky to get out of that mess to be treated in time and saving the rest of the other bystanders. This looks serious…With him showing his ID badge to the others, behind him enter Shura, Rin, Kiyomi, and Zuku entering through the yellow line tape to show theirs too and introducing themselves as well.

"I'm Shura Kirigakure. Senior Exorcist First Class."

Todo sees the other two were new to the team.

"And who are they?" he asks.

Yukio didn't think Rin and Kiyomi would come at a time like this, for Rin was laughing to act cooler than his little brother was.

"Who, me?"

"Rin?!" Yukio was surprise. "What are you and Kiyomi doing here?"

Rin's being cool to be the hero of the day. He's something else, the way that Kiyomi loves him for.

"I'm Rin Okumura., Exorcist Ex-Wire! I'm here to save the day!" he then shows his ID badge next. "And this sexy beauty is my girlfriend name Kiyomi Saki, another Exorcist Ex-Wire like me."

Zuku stood next to Rin to tell about the little shadow demon too.

"Rin…" Kiyomi felt shy when Rin called her sexy.

"Oh, right." Rin was being sarcastic to Zuku. "And this is her familiar name Zuku, the Shadow Demon."

The little demon bows down to everyone else like she was part of a Broadway show with Todo being new to see them in person. Seems that he knows a lot about the Okumura brothers and Rin being a half demon, or the Son of Satan.

"Isn't he the…You know?" Todo drops the subject. "Is that a good idea? And this woman with a Shadow Demon, that's rare."

Was it now…?

"(A half breed like me? A rare one? Zuku too? Really?)" new to Kiyomi.

"Law Enforcement Division's orders." Shura explains. "Kiyomi's my little step-sister, so she and her partner are good. Her boyfriend Rin, I can't let him out of my sight." She starts holding Rin by the shirt collar from behind. "I'll keep him a tight rein on him, so you can trust him."

Rin didn't like the idea to be treated like a dog for Kiyomi to pat him on the head to be liking it.

"There, there, Rin."

"(Thanks, Kiyomi.)" he said to be smiling.

Now getting back to business for Yukio asks Todo and the other exorcists on what's been happening…

"Could someone tell us what happened?"

With lots of people down for the count to be weak and hurt, Todo had to tell them everything to be hurt a little and worried of the other's safety.

"P-Please allow me-!" he was in pain.

In pain, the female exorcist name Kinoshita tries calming Todo down.

"Please, you need to rest!"

But he had to tell them…

"Let me explain what happened. I'm Saburota Todo, Senior Exorcist Second Class and Deep Keeper Director. This all began when the Left Eye of the Impure King was stolen from where it had been sealed away in the deepest regions of the academy."

Once Todo said that, it couldn't be any good news for Shura and Yukio to be hearing about it. News to Rin, Kiyomi, and Zuku.

"The Impure King's…" Yukio was speechless.

"Left Eye…" Kiyomi was confused.

Rin was really confused on not knowing on what was what they were talking about.

"…Left Eye?" Rin was lost. "What the heck's that?"

Zuku titled her head to be hearing about this.

"Stole it? How?" ask Shura.

Soon, Yukio tells on what the Left Eye and Impure King was all about. I think just some of it…

"The Deep Keep should be the most densely warded area in the entire school.

"It's unclear how he broke in and stole it." Todo tells on what happened in a flash back. "The elite of the Deep Keep, myself included, pursued a man in a gas mask, who we believed to be the thief, into this alley. The man used the boy as a human shield, and then…"

Leaving where we left off Todo and other exorcists try to stop the strange man to save Saturo and to have the eye with him in a jar, he releases something of black smog to spread all over the place to flee with Saturo still with him. Not good and Saturo's Mother was really worried about him. Seems that that man was in an abandoned building right now for Todo to tell the others about it and take them there right away, with more bad news to tell about with it.

"I take it that the man with a mask is in there with the boy?" Kiyomi asks Todo.

"That he is." He answers back to be worried. "He took the boy and fled into that building, where he's still hold up. To make matters worse, a large quantity of miasma has been released into the area, and 31 people, including civilians, have been contaminated. There aren't enough Doctors to help them. The boy took the full brunt of the miasma when it came out of the flask. There's a strong possibility his life is in danger. And if the Left Eye gets stolen, this will be the biggest fiasco in the history of the Order of the True Cross!"

And that's the whole thing going down, and Rin still didn't know what the Impure King and Left Eye was all about to be asking his little brother about it.

"Look, Yukio, what's the deal with this Left Eye thing? I don't-!"

But Yukio gently pushes Rin aside to alert everyone to remain calm always in the area to be saved and try saving Saturo by any means in time. And with any luck.

"Please remain calm. We'll do everything we can." He said.

Looks like Zuku and Kiyomi sees that this will be a while to get some answers later.

"So much for more details…"

"Is this gas masked guy tough?" ask Shura.

Even Todo wasn't sure about the stranger for stealing the Left Eye belonging to the Impure King thing. From the napkin on his face, he must've been hurt to barely escape alive.

"Well, that's unclear as well." He said. "He only ran; he never fought back. We don't even know if he's a demon or a human."

Shura then had an odd look on her face when Todo said that. What was up with that? Yukio knows what he had to do 'or at least try to save Saturo from the strange and get the eye back'.

"In any case, we must hurry. First, Ms. Kirigakure and I will-!" But before Yukio could finish, Saturo's Mother comes by to beg them to save her son no matter what happens.

"Excuse me…Is there any news about me son?" she said to sound and look upset and coughing too.

For Rin and Kiyomi will do their best for her.

"You're the abducted kid's mom?" Rin asks her. "We're on the case, so rest easy!"

And with that, Kiyomi agrees with her boyfriend for her and Zuku to do the same thing too.

"We'll do what we can, ma'am. We promise you this." She said.

"You said it, babe." Rin gives the mother and Kiyomi a thumbs up to be smiling too. "We'll get him back safe and sound! You have our-!"

Soon Yukio gets in front of Rin to say something else to Saturo's Mother on a different news that didn't sound good at all, if something bad were to happen to the boy. Oh, no…

"Sorry, but…We can't guarantee the safety of your son. You should prepare yourself for the worst." Once Yukio hate to say that to the mother, she starts to panic again.

"Oh, no…"

Yikes! Yukio then goes on inside of the building for Kiyomi and Zuku begin to worry, as Rin wanted to save someone and talk some sense 'again' into his little brother. True, there's a slight chance and something you should probably not say to a mother to not be able to save her own son like that…

"(Yukio?)" Kiyomi was lost. "(We wish to help the boy out; you know?)"

"Hey, Yukio!" Rin calls out to him.

All that Yukio does was to say this to Kiyomi and then to Shura.

"Kiyomi, you and Zuku defend yourselves if you have to. And Shura, keep an eye on my brother and his girlfriend. She is your step-sister after all."

Leaving Rin and Kiyomi confused 'with Zuku to be moving around to want to help out too', Shura was on the job to be doing something to that just came up.

"Will do." She said. "Actually, I just remembered something I need to do. Let's go, Rin and Kiyomi."

With Yukio going into the abandon building alone, Rin wanted to help and Kiyomi as well by her boyfriend's side.

"Screw that, I'm coming with you!" he said. "Come on, Kiyomi!" As Rin grabs hold of Yukio's shoulder, he turns around to move his arm to let go and grab hold of his skirt to look and sounded serious to him.

"Hey! Yukio!" Kiyomi tries calming her friend down.

"Listen! Exorcists are not perfect! We can't always save everyone! Don't make promises you can't keep!"

And…the two brothers are fighting again from agreement to disagreement.

"Don't jump to any conclusions before we even try! You chicken!" he said.

So Shura grabs Kiyomi hand to take off for Zuku to follow, and pulls Rin away from the area.

"Okay, that's enough of that."

She pulls Rin away.

"Hey! Leggo, Boobzilla!" Rin said to be calling Shura that.

"Rin! Shura! Wait up!" Kiyomi follows them.

And with them gone, Yukio gets suited up to go inside so he won't be effect at all along with stopping the man and get the eye back too. Looks like Todo will be going with him too since this was his responsibilities to get the item back no matter what; lucky to not be affected to also be wearing the suit too with the little bird to carry in a cage they enter inside for those two only to find the man in the gas mask and the boy. For Todo has been the Deep Keep for generation in his family to do his job, also Rin escapes from Shura to run into the building for Kiyomi and Zuku to go find him.

"Ah, great!" she got mad. "Rin, you damn idiot! Get back here!" Shura then turns to her sister. "Whatever…I need some work to do. Kiyomi, you and Zuku know what to do."

"You want us to go follow him?" Kiyomi ask. "What about you?"

"I got some research in mind, just you two stay close." Shura than takes off. "I mean it!"

And with that, Zuku becomes Kiyomi's shadow-like wings to go after Rin to go inside the building to catch up to him.

"Rin!" she calls out to her boyfriend. "Wait up!"

He sees them for the three go on in and to be ready for everything.

"Right on time, let's go in." he said to catch up to the other two men. "So, what's wit this 'Left Eye' thing?"

This surprises Yukio and Todo to see the two showing up.

"Rin!" shock Yukio.

"Sorry, Yukio, Rin wants to help out." Said Kiyomi for Zuku was ready for action. "And if he goes, I go too."

Zuku got her punches and kicks down.

"What are you two doing here? Where's Shura?"

"I manage to give her the slip and then my Kiyomi tagged along." Said Rin.

Yukio puts his hand on his head to have to deal with this so many times.

"Again, sorry…" Kiyomi said.

Still, they had to at least try saving the boy and helping them out.

"Look, Yukio, we both gave our word to the kid's mom that we'd save him. I can't stand by and do nothing!"

"And I…Well, Zuku and I second that!" Kiyomi said as well.

Rin could at least aid Yukio to do one thing and save the boy.

"Want me to carry that bird for you?" Rin asks his brother.

So, Yukio allows them to tag along, they might need their help after all.

"Fine, carry it." He gives it to Rin. "Just don't do anything else. And Kiyomi, you and Rin know what to do."

She and Zuku understood into doing so for them and Rin.

"On it! (Lucky us…Thanks, Rin.)"

And with that, the five kept on going while Rin was holding on to the bird in a cage. Was it important? Don't tell me it's one of those back in the old days using poor canary birds to know where the gas is to kill one of them in the end? I don't like that at all. It's also known as a pseudo-canary, it'll stop chirping when it senses any miasma to be different than any other birds then, thanks to Yukio telling Rin and Kiyomi about it. But the bird stop chirping when Yukio explain to them already, meaning that they found the stranger with Saturo and the Left Eye for Zuku goes into beast mode to be ready to fight.

"It stopped?" questioned Yukio.

"Look!" Kiyomi points out.

"There he is!" and Rin too and sees the boy. "The kid's still alive!"

Seems that Saturo will be fine to be a little sick and still have a chance to save him from the looks of it.

"He's in critical condition, though. We have to hurry." Said Yukio to draw out his gun. "Don't move!"

Soon the stranger comes walking slowly towards them for Yukio must stand his ground to shoot him down if he needs to.

"Yukio, he's coming…" Kiyomi said to be ready for anything.

"Another step and I'll shot!"

As he kept on walking without stopping from Yukio's warnings, he shoots at the stranger only to turn into a goop type of shadow to disappear to fly off 'looking like a bat being another Shadow Demon like Kiyomi and Zuku were to see there were more than them left alive' to make its escape in time leaving Saturo left on the ground and the jar of the Left Eye to be in there and saved in time.

"(Was that…?)" Kiyomi turns to Zuku. "You see that, Zuku. It looks like another Shadow Demon like you and I, more of them…I thought there was only us two left since my parents were killed and the Shadow King left in Gehenna. I don't get it."

Zuku wishes that she knew that herself and to know more about this now.

"He disappeared!" surprise Rin to go check on the boy next. "Hey, are you okay?"

Seems to be alright for some to still be breathing which was good. As Kiyomi and Zuku looked at the eye, something was wrong with it.

"Yukio, the eye."

Yukio picks it up to see that it wasn't real at all. Not good…

"Not good. It's a fake!" he said.

Just then, Todo comes up behind Yukio to kick him down. Oh, no! He's a traitor, isn't he!?

"Yukio!" Rin cries out to his brother.

Moving away in time to avoid going down and being shocked about what was going on now and Todo taking Yukio's gun to use against him.

"Mr. Todo?" confused Yukio.

"Hey! You dare betray us!?" Kiyomi said to after Todo. "You'll pay for this! Zuku, let's go!"

Todo wanted Kiyomi and Zuku to come at him. Soon he jumps up high to grab her from behind with his strength to hold her and injects something within her body to be affecting Zuku to making her body turn into diamond-like stone to be frozen up into, for Kiyomi couldn't break out of this one leaving Rin and Yukio to worry even more.

"Kiyomi!" both Rin and Yukio said to worry of her safety.

"Zuku! Zuku!" this made Kiyomi upset. "What did you do to my friend!?" she then started to feel weak and as a hostage. "(No…! What's wrong with my body…? I can't free myself, save Zuku, or…Break free-!)"

She passes out for Todo got it done to get a hold of Yukio and Rin to trap them, seems to be working for the stranger as Todo was showing his demon appearances. Why was he doing this?

"Kiyomi!" Rin got upset. "Let go of her!" said Rin.

"Don't hurt her!" same with Yukio.

"Don't worry, I got what I needed to be done within this girl. She'll be important to us later." He said. "And if you have figured it out, I guess that's that. I'll buy as much time as I can."

He removes the suit to show Todo's true form 'with claws, ear, teeth, and a tail' to not be afraid of anything and with Kiyomi still out cold with Zuku gone and as his hostage, what can the brothers do now to save her?

"(A demon? He's gone over!)" shock Yukio for he had to tell Rin to get the boy out of here. "Rin, that boy's life is hanging by a threat. Hurry up and get him out of here! I'll rescue Kiyomi from Todo's grasp. I promise."

At least he has another gun to draw and use against Todo, for Rin trusts Yuki to save his woman to get Saturo out first.

"Go it!" he said. "(Be safe, Kiyomi. We'll save you.)"

But Todo won't let those two escaped at all.

"Now, now." He uses his powers to slow Rin down and traps him. "I can't have you running off just yet."

Some black smog coming from this man goes after Rin to use his blue flames to destroy it out of his way.

"Back off!"

The flames only hurt from the things on Saturo, for some bad virus was affecting him to stop in time.

"Rin!" shock Yukio.

"You should be…focusing on me." He then moves in fast to retrain Yukio from behind by holding him down and freeing Kiyomi for Rin to save her next, for the boy was with him by Rin's side.

"Kiyomi!? Are you okay!?" he checks on her. "Hang there… (Why did he just do to her?)"

"When I look at you, Yukio Okumura, it's like I'm looking at my past self. As far as I can remember, I'd been on a track fate had laid out for me, unable to even vent the doubts I had for years and I worked my whole life like a good dog for the good of the Order, of my family. I wanted to be like my father. Like my big brother. But what do I have to show for it after a life like that? Nothing. So, I decided to admit to myself that my feelings were true. My father, my brother, the Order…That I hated everything in this world. And you know what? When I admitted to myself, I felt so wonderful. Like a piece of me that was always missing finally fit into place. It just means you're weak. That you gave in to a demon's temptation! There I weakness lurking in the hearts of all men. Are you afraid to acknowledge yours? Like I did to Kiyomi, who'll know about her part soon enough thanks to my help I put into her body."

As Yukio stared at Todo in anger, he wasn't afraid or cared what he said about him but to worry more about Kiyomi on what he just injected into her body.

"What did you do to Kiyomi…!?" he asked in anger.

Soon Todo looks at his watch to look to the time.

"Well, it's about time I go. As for Kiyomi's fate, you and your brother will know about that part soon enough later and her kind. With her familiar trap, this is priceless." Said Todo to get off Yukio's back. "I enjoyed this unexpected that I got to have with you, your brother, and his girlfriend. Even if you don't understand them now, my words will wend their way through your body. Like I put something in Kiyomi to get to her first."

Yukio tries getting up for he was lost on what Todo was saying to him.

"What…? What are you…saying!?" he asked. "Kiyomi…!"

"She'll thank me and our master after we set her true shadow powers free. Long live the Shadow Demons!" he said. "When the day comes, I will welcome you with open arms, Yukio Okumura."

Todo then disappears within the walls to become a shadow like the other one being the strange that escaped too. Does he work for them to steal the Left Eye of the Impure King or what? Yukio was too late to stop the traitor of the Deep Keep exorcist member in time.

"Wait!" he said.

With him feeling up in failing his job, Rin see Kiyomi waking up to find Zuku.

"Kiyomi?" he checks on his woman.

"Rin…What happened…?" she asked.

"That Todo guy's a demon to be working with that weird powers and made his escape."

She couldn't find Zuku anywhere to soon have a sore neck from being injected with something and a necklace around her neck, look like a crystal shard for Rin to notice.

"What is it, Rin?" Kiyomi asks him.

"What's this necklace you have?"

"A necklace?" she then felt Zuku was trapped within the necklace with no way out from the inside or the outside to try breaking it open. "Oh, no…Zuku! What happened!? How did you…!? How did you get in there!? I can't get her free!"

Rin gives it a try as many times as he could, but with no luck.

"What's going on?" Rin was lost. "What did that guy do to you?" soon he had to help Saturo. "(Oh, no!) Y-Yukio, he's…What should we do?"

Ouch! Saturo was covered in strange black bubbles covering the poor boy to look weak for Yukio to try treating him quickly before it was too late.

"What's happening to him?" Kiyomi asks Yukio. "And why can I use my other powers to save Zuku?"

"The sporangia must've been burned by your flames, Rin. And then rapidly multiplied to try to repair themselves." He said to get to work as a doctor he was. "We'll never get him to help in time. I'll treat him here! Kiyomi, I might have to with you too. Just in case you are infected."

She'll do as Yukio said for she might've been injected from the thing that the boy has on him.

"Alright then."

As Yukio gets the gear out to prepare the medicine but couldn't do it to be under pressure.

"I can't think...not like this!" he said. So, he takes off the suit to do things easier to inject himself from the thing to spread if he needed to.

"Yukio?" Rin was worried. "Hey, is that safe? I can do-!"

"Don't do anything!" Yukio tells his brother to stay put. "I got this…!" Yukio feeling upset he had to do it to try not to be afraid to save the boy, himself, and Kiyomi too.

"You sure you got this, Yukio?" she asks him. "(What's wrong with him?)"

Yukio needed to inject and place small needles of the stuff carefully in spots where the bubbles were sticking out on Saturo's body carefully. Staying alert without letting one get destroyed so badly. From his hands shaking like when he was a kid to see and hear demons and tries to be brave and strong like Rin and his step father Shiro Fujimoto; it was hard to remember Todo saying to him a few minutes ago saying that he has a weakness like some men do in their hearts and like him to change, and he thinks that Yukio will to hesitate. The stuff was spreading on to him now.

"Yukio!" Rin started to panic.

"I'm fine…!" Yukio injects himself to be cured in time. "I got it. Your turn, Kiyomi."

Looks like Yukio will fight back to not be afraid or be weaken by Todo's words to still be himself no matter what, as Kiyomi get injected too 'since she can be affected a little but not so much' to still be safe than sorry. Soon enough Saturo was getting a few lefts within him to look like himself again and in time, he was spared.

"It worked. You did it, Yukio." She said.

"Good work, you two." He said. "You're going to be fine, Kiyomi. And Rin, you did the right thing. Not bad, big brother."

"Yeah, sure thing." Said Rin. "(What's that Todo guy up to for them? Yukio…Kiyomi…And why is Zuku imprison?)"

With Yukio smirking to the two as Saturo had to be check on before finishing up, Kiyomi and Rin begin to worry about Zuku's condition to still be alive in a shard piece of a prison to her and unable to break free even with Kiyomi's powers acting weird suddenly…Rin was also worried about his little brother besides curing himself for saving Saturo's life. From what was on his mind that he or Kiyomi don't know about yet? Getting out of the building to walk outside with Yukio carrying Saturo to feel better as the mother goes up to be hugging him and happy to have him safe and sound.

"Saturo!" she said with joy.

"Mommy?" he was confused but he will recover.

Good thing those four save the boy as promise.

"Thank you so much!" she bows down to say her thanks to them.

For Kiyomi was happy but still worried about Zuku for Rin to be upset as well, with Yukio to smile for the mother to be happy to have her son back in her arms.

"It was nothing."

With a lady exorcist walking the mother and son out of the scene afterwards, someone starts talking to Yukio on another fine work he did today. As well as Rin and Kiyomi to see who it was too.

"That's our Mr. Okumura! First class work all around."

It was Mephisto Pheles himself eating a Popsicle as Shura walks with him after doing something on her own.

"Mephisto!" both Yukio and Rin said to be seeing him.

"Oh, great…Mephisto…" Kiyomi sounded not happy at all from seeing him after the last time.

Yeah, he tried having his way with Kiyomi to fight back only because he use to have a crush on her mother Kagome Saki who loved Kazu even more to be married and had a daughter, so mess up. For he liked her in a girl's uniform of the school to be having hearts for eyes.

"Kiyomi sweetie! You look super sexy in that uniform! To be wearing until your other one is good as new, I promise." He then runs over to Kiyomi. "Come! Let me hold you in my arms and kiss your beautiful soft lips!" Having a kissing mood to run up to Kiyomi, she kicks him away to be push down and getting back up only to be smiling instead.

"Keep your hands to yourself, pervert!"

"No kidding…!" Shura said to be agreeing with her sister there. "Nice one, Kiyomi."

Rin stands next to his woman so the mess won't happen again.

"Touch her again, and I'll kick your ass…!"

Mephisto just laughs to not give up on Kiyomi at any time to win her over again any men even from Rin loving her more.

"Don't think I'll back down from a threat, Rin Okumura, I will beat you to win over Kiyomi's heart." He said.

"Not happening!" said Kiyomi to be happy with her Rin only.

"You can't hide your feelings from me forever, Kiyomi, I will win." Getting back to the matter at hand. "My goodness. What a mess. This little incident seems to have been a diversion. The real Left Eye was stolen."

Not good to be hearing about that from the stranger 'might be another shadow demon for Todo to be working for' took the real Left Eye and trying to find them both right away. Things has gotten serious right now.

"I have my familiar tracking it down now." Said Shura.

That was fast for Shura's smarter than she looks to use her snake familiars to aid her out to know that something was up.

"Smart…" Kiyomi was surprise to show her sister something. "Shura, Zuku got trapped in this necklace for some reason when Todo betrayed us, turn into a demon, and stabbed with something to go into my body. Something's up with my shadow powers. And…There might be more than Zuku and myself left."

Kiyomi shows Shura and Mephisto everything to be telling them about it too.

"No way…! This is weird." Shock Shura. "At least Zuku's alive and kicking to be alive in it. Still, what did Todo want with you?"

"You got us. I can still fight with some power within me to us, it just…I don't know what's going on."

"Or why there are more Shadow Demons out there besides you, dear Kiyomi, and your grandfather?" Mephisto said first to look at the necklace too. "Hmm…Now this is something we'll consider right away, so fear not, Kiyomi." Mephisto kisses her hand to be nice about helping Kiyomi out.

"Ah, geeze thanks. (I think…)" she tries to smile.

"Me too, Kiyomi." Said Shura. "We won't let to this hurt you or your familiar. We will find your mother and stop the Shadow King soon enough. So, you boys don't have to worry about Kiyomi here, just stay close even if she can still fight."

Kiyomi at least smiles at her sister for Mephisto was a bit happy to see his woman to be smiling.

"Thanks, Shura." Said Kiyomi.

Then Yukio had something to ask Shura on how and when she did some research already.

"When did you…?"

She answers for him.

"That Todo geezer seemed fishy, so I did some digging and my hunch was right. But he seems to work for the Shadow Demons, like the Shadow King could be behind it all to get to Kiyomi."

"And one other thing." Mephisto speaks up next while eating on his Popsicle. "We don't have any details just yet, but it seems there was also a ruckus over the Right Eye at our Kyoto field office. This is a dire situation indeed. And hurting Kiyomi like that, would you, your majesty? To your own half breed granddaughter? You have cross the line this time, my old rival."

Right…Soon, Rin and Kiyomi had to know what the whole eye of left and right to the Impure King is all about.

"Left Eye, Right Eye, and this Impure King…" Kiyomi was wondering. "I wonder if they have something to do with the Shadow King and the other Shadow Demons' doing? (Are they in war with us?)

"Look, would someone please explain what this 'Right Eye' and 'Left Eye' -?" Before Rin could finish asking a question, Mephisto speaks up again to say something else.

"In any event, we must assemble a crack team to retrieve the Left Eye and begin tracking it at once. Mr. Okumura, I'm putting you on the team." He said to Yukio.

Seems so since things has gotten serious now.

"Me, sir?" Yukio was lost.

"Yes, of course." He answers back. "As we still don't know our enemy's goal, we know it has something to do with Kiyomi being the target. Zuku will live inside the shard, for those two are part of one being to survive while trying to free the little demon out soon enough and whatever Kiyomi was affected with. You medicine didn't work for this case. So, wearing the necklace to keep Zuku alive is the only thing to keep her safe."

That's not any good news there for Kiyomi to be hear. With Zuku trap like a small goldfish in a small bowl, this was getting serious now.

"What!?" she was shock. "Then what is inside of me!?"

Rin hugs Kiyomi.

"We'll be all right. Luckily, you're not a walking zombie."

"I know that, Rin, but Zuku…"

"So, what's in her?" ask Yukio.

Shura took come blood and took a picture of Zuku's prison-like shard to have it look at right away.

"Guess we'll soon find out more as we study these things." She said to be hugging Kiyomi. "It'll be all right, sis, you're stronger to fight the unknown thing off. I know it."

"Shura…"

Continue for Mephisto explains the rest to them…

"You see, Kiyomi? You'll be fine, my dear. You get it now, Mr. Okumura? I want you on this mission as the only one who has had direct contact with him. Maybe it'll lead us to Kiyomi's dear mother and the love of my life to stop the Shadow King, but the eyes come first before it'll be too late."

Yukio must to carry out the mission and protect to save Kiyomi and Zuku always.

"Understood." He said.

"Very well, meet me in one hour in the center of the base." Said Mephisto to be leaving.

As Yukio follows the direct, he'll study on what's in Kiyomi to free her and Zuku soon enough.

"You'll be fine, Kiyomi, stay close to Rin at all times."

She tries to and to keep Zuku 'who was trapped' safe around her neck no matter what happens next until then.

"If you say so, Yukio…" she tries to be strong.

He also tells Shura the same thing to still be doing her job.

"Shura, keep an eye on my brother and Kiyomi too." Yukio then leaves the area.

"You got it." She said to be smiling too. "(I will do so and protect my sister.) Sheesh, that 15-year-old, is such a grumpy old man on the inside. He's so gonna go bald young."

Rin will not let go of Kiyomi no matter what now.

"Rin…?" confused Kiyomi.

"We'll be fine, Kiyomi." He said to say something to his brother next. "Hey, Yukio! I'm gonna make you eat my dust; you hear!? Just watch me!"

This surprises Yukio when Rin said that to him.

"You, make me?" he then acts serious again to wish Rin good luck. "I doubt that. Those jokes must sound funnier in your head."

He was saying that to Rin because deep down Yukio really cares for his older brother, but he doesn't get it to be a bit clueless.

"What?" he got mad there.

"Here we go again…" Kiyomi said to feel a bit silly.

"As you can see, Rin, I'm busy. I can't babysit you 24/7."

Really, Yukio ha do some things on his own to prove to Shiro in spirit that he can be strong like Rin was to protect his brother. For Kiyomi knows of that, just not Rin to still be mad at him as he leaves with Mephisto.

"That stupid jerk!" Rin said in anger. "I'm going to surprise you so bad your jaw's gonna hit the floor!"

Isn't that more in cartoons for your jaw to hit the floor like that though…? Anyways, Shura had something to say to Rin and Kiyomi 'as Zuku listens in'.

"Kiyomi. You and Rin better be ready to go with some help on this mission."

"Mission to do what?" ask Kiyomi.

Shura smiles to say this to the two lovers.

"You guys along with the other students too of True Cross are going to Kyoto."

Kyoto? That's where Bon, Shima, and Miwa were born at! The curse temple, Bon's father, the metal that Y-Kun use to fix the Koma Sword, temples, lots of monks, looking like an old Japan time, and such the sad thing happening to those three of their families on the Blue Night with the blue flames killing people from 15 years ago, really being Satan controlling them and Rin's flames not hurting his friends, just bad demons, Remember? So, the next day…Shura leads Rin and Kiyomi 'and Kuro too as Zuku was there to watch and listen in through the shard' to pack up to go on a field trip/mission type of vacation to protect the Right Eye of this Impure King person next before worse Shadow Demons and Todo go after the next thing. This was Rin's first time going with his love by his side, a field trip for him and Kiyomi. This should be kind of fun to do…To the Tokyo, Japan train station they go!

"So, we're really going to Kyoto to protect the Right Eye?" question Kiyomi. "This should be fun to see the place while still doing our mission. (And with Rin by my side, I won't feel left out to stop this thing that's holding Zuku like this. We will free her and stop on what's in me to slow down my shadow powers.)" She got that right 'for Kiyomi's love will keep her strong no matter what happens', Rin's firs time to go on any field trips in a while.

"I didn't get to go on my junior high field trip, so this'll be Kiyomi and me our first time in Kyoto!" Rin sounded happy to be looking at a boo with lots of details about it. "A date for Kiyomi and me and being our mission to work too! Huh, babe?"

Rin hold Kiyomi close to him while walking for her to be giggling.

"Oh, you…"

"There'll be a banana in my snack pack, right?" ask Rin.

Kuro sees it all on top of Rin's head.

"Sounds like fun."

Shura just smiles to see Kiyomi was feeling a bit better and still herself, so that was good.

"You're so excited, Rin, it's almost entertaining…" she said to be smiling. "But remember you two, this ain't a pleasure trip. Go on, get in."

Once the four 'with Zuku too' enter inside of the train 'for the others to see Rin as the Son of Satan to still be an afraid of him', this was a bit hard to do.

"Ignore them, Rin." Said Kiyomi.

"Yeah, I know." He said to try finding a place to sit down with his girlfriend. "So, where should we sit at?"

"Read the room, kid." Said Shura. "You two love birds take a seat up front."

Kiyomi holds Rin's arm to take him to the right place for them to sit together with Kuro on the floor carefully to lie down on.

"Is this spot good, Rin?" she said to be holding on to his arm.

"It's fine. (Her breasts…So soft…!)

Shura sees them being all set to go.

"There we go. Now I'm gonna go up to Car 3 to see how the inoculations are coming along. So, you, Rin Okumura, keep your butt in that seat with your woman to sit with and don't cause any trouble."

Rin understood for Shura checks on the other room.

"Got it." He said to be looking at the traveling guide still. "Right, then…" Rin then sees something cool on the guide book. "No way! Kyoto Tower! They've got a tower in Kyoto, too?"

Kiyomi sees it as well.

"Looks like it, Rin, I can't wait to see it."

Rin hugs Kiyomi still.

"So cool! Man, I gotta hold in my excitement!"

Soon Zuku spotted Shiemi Moriyama about to come in to sit down somewhere on the train, only to see Rin to not be herself lately and her friend Kiyomi was doing well.

"Rin…Kiyomi…" she sounded worried.

Rin and Kiyomi were happy to see her.

"Look, Rin, it's Shiemi." She said.

"Shiemi!"

Kiyomi waves to her best friend.

"Hi, Shiemi! Come sit with us!"

Shiemi wanted to, but she looked scared and was unable to talk to them for some reason. She then turns away to make them look confused.

"I'm...sorry...!" she walks away.

"Huh?" both Rin and Kiyomi said together.

But Shiemi turns back around to see Ryuji 'Bon' Suguro, Renzo Shima, and Konekomaru Miwa coming in to take a seat to their home town again. She looked like herself again to be seeing the three, Kiyomi was different to be smiling a little to see her friend was okay to try saving Zuku.

"Suguro! Miwa! Shima! Good morning!" she said to the boys.

Kiyomi sees them coming in as well.

"(Bon. Shima. Miwa.)" she said. "(Oh, right. We're going to their home town after Yukio told on how and where they got the Koma Sword fixed at that place.)"

Those guys looked and sounded happy to see Shiemi.

"Good morning." Said Bon.

"Good morning, Moriyama!" Shima said to her to try hitting on Shiemi again. 'As if!'

"Morning!" and Miwa too. "Ms. Kirigakure said to go to Car 3 to get inoculated!"

I hope Miwa's arm was getting better for Shiemi goes back in to the room with them.

"Oh. Right."

And so, they do to be seeing Kiyomi and Rin saying hi to the three boys. No problem with Kiyomi at all 'for Bon to be worried about her even more after what he heard what happened to her', Rin however…

"Hi, Bon! Hi, Shima! Hi, Miwa!" said Kiyomi. "(At least Miwa's getting better.)"

"Hey, guys!" and Rin does the same. "I'm glad to see you're okay! Hey, did you know about this 'Kyoto Tower' place?" he asks to remember something to still be smiling. "Oh, duah. You guys are from Kyoto! You gotta tell Kiyomi and me what other places that we should check out!"

Bon looks at Rin to be very mad, after finding out about him being the Son of Satan and all. He then asks Kiyomi something.

"Hey, Saki…You feeling well?"

This was new for him to be saying it to her.

"Ah…Yeah, I'm fine. Zuku knows that Rin and I will save her yet. Are you feeling all right, Bon? Why did you ask?"

Once Kiyomi ask Bon that question, he started to feel funny from the way he was looking at her suddenly. His face was starting to turn red all over.

"Well, I know…It's…" he changes the subject. "Nothing! You shouldn't be around Okumura…!"

"Excuse me?" Kiyomi was lost.

But Miwa steps aside to find a place to sit for him, Bon, and Shima so no fight to be happening today.

"Bon, let it go." He said.

And so, Bon does having no other choice.

"I know!"

Soon the three find a place to be seated for Rin tries calling out to Miwa.

"Konekomaru!"

But he ignores Rin to say this to Kiyomi only as he passes by.

"Bon was worried about you, Saki. We were too, so…Be strong."

Rin was upset to be ignore for Shima tries to calm everyone down and make a move on Kiyomi next.

"Kiyomi…"

"Please don't." she said to gently push Shima away.

"Well, I tried." He then follows his friends and calls Miwa by a nickname. "Koneko! Be less subtle, why don'tcha?"

As Shima sat down with Miwa and Bon, Miwa was still scared to be around Rin because he was the Son of Satan to be afraid of.

"Wh-Why is he here like nothing happened? What're they gonna do if he goes on another rampage?" he asks in fear.

"It's what the bigwigs decided." Shima answers. "Just let the sleeping dogs lie."

Poor, Rin. At least he had Kiyomi as his girlfriend to cheer him up.

"You guys…" she hugs Rin. "Don't worry on what they say, Rin, give them time."

Miwa still didn't think so on his end.

"How can you be so laid back about this, Shima?"

Well, can you blame them? Just a little…? Rin sits back down for he knew that showing his true powers up close to his friends with Amaimon force him to when saving Kiyomi and their lives, Rin knew that this would hurt them in the end. Soon Izumo Kamiki and Nemu Takara enter in the room to find a place to sit, well for this girl tries to find a place as Shima tries making another move on her.

"Izumo!" he calls out to her. "Why don't you sit over here?"

But she decided to sit across where Rin and Kiyomi were sitting at, for Izumo didn't care at all on what she thinks of Rin being a half demon. To Shima's surprise, he likes a woman like that.

"Izumo? You're sitting next to us?" confused Kiyomi.

She just looks at them to be very serious.

"What is it?" she asks them.

But they let it be.

"Nothing…" said Rin.

"Never mind!" Kiyomi tries being nice to her.

Soon the train takes off. All abroad! And away they went to go all the way to Kyoto to be both fun and something else for the eight students to be doing together once again, or try to get along with Rin again…And for that, Shura explains everything on what their mission was going to be like. While Yukio was making his way there to in a car with the other exorcist joining in too.

"Okay, your attention, please!" Shura said to everyone. "I'm Shura Kirigakure, unwilling backup team leader. Let's start off with a rundown of the situation. Early this morning at the Order's Deep Keep installation, parties' unknown stole the Left Eye of the Impure King, sealed there as a designated Special Hazard Demon Part. We know that the thief was working under the orders of former Deep Keep Director Second Senior Class Exorcist Saburota Todo, but his objectives and accomplices remain unknown, other than wanting to do something with Kiyomi to place something in her to stop her shadow powers and seal Zuku in a shard. A curse maybe? A war against us from the bad Shadow Demons to be more than her and the Shadow King? That's remains a mystery to consider further…Other than protecting my little step-sister Kiyomi Saki to still aid us on this mission, our investigations are still ongoing. Furthermore, the Kyoto field office's Deep Keep off to the west was also attacked by someone at the same time. That attempt was foiled, but their target was the Impure King's Right Eye. It could be connected to the Shadow King himself and his goons we're up against."

For Kiyomi and Zuku to be hearing about this, it was news to them to hear from Shura. Izumo then asks Shura a question about it.

"Excuse me," She said with her hand up. "what are the Impure King's Left and Right Eyes? We haven't studied him."

"That we didn't, Shura." Kiyomi said to her step sister. "So, this Impure King thing has anything to do with the Shadow King and the other Shadow Demons?"

Something like that for Shura to tell them about and still be looking up on that part.

"You could say that, Kiyomi…" she then answers Izumo's question. "And no surprise there, Ms. Kamiki. For he isn't consider one of the biggies."

So, what was the Impure King and his body parts to being separated all about then…? To shows a picture of the olden times on what that thing was and does for a cloud of deadly demon catch the humans feeling for their lives, for Nemu 'or rather his puppet asks Shura this next question'.

"So, what is this the king thing already?" ask Nemu's puppet.

"You really want to know?" so she says it. "The Impure King is an upper-level demon said to have spread plagues in the Late Edo Period. At the time, it claimed more than 40,000 lives. His Right Eye and Left Eye are said to have been plucked out by the priest named Fukaku as proof that he defeated him. Even the eyes by themselves emit powerful miasma and are extremely dangerous items."

Well, that makes sense for everyone else to finally know all about on what they may be up against, but hopefully to not let that happen again centuries later.

"Oh, yeah…I have heard about that story!" said Kiyomi to her surprise. "And here I thought it was all made up. I guess fairy tales of good and bad to come true when it comes to demons. But is it the Impure King's cruse to cast on to Zuku or the Shadow King's doing…?"

Still don't know anything about it at all, Rin thinks that the Fukaku guy might've not did a good job from long ago.

"What the heck was the Fukaku guy thinking?" Rin said to be complaining a little. "Was he that eager to show off?"

Soon Izumo said something about this whole thing of the demon himself.

"The Impure King…"

Continuing for Shura to explain a bit more…

"In any case, although the enemy's objective remains a mystery to also try to find out what's wrong with Kiyomi and Zuku too, it's clear he intends to use the Right and Left Eyes for nefarious purposes." She said. "The Kyoto field office is guarding the Right Eye, so it's possible it'll be attacking again. In short, our mission is to tend to the Exorcists who were injured at the Kyoto field office and to beef up their weakened security. You Ex-Wires will be helping with that. So, let's all work together, protect Kiyomi as well, and do our best. And now, please give me some peace and quiet…" As Shura went to go rest in one of the seats after tells them on what their mission was, it'll be a while to get Kyoto to just relax throughout the trip.

As Izumo looks at Rin and Kiyomi, for Rin knows that this girl was nice deep down to know her better.

"Ah, Kiyomi…" Rin tries talking to his girlfriend.

She knows what she needed to do next…

"Alright, I'll try." Kiyomi goes to talk to Izumo. "Ah, Izumo…?"

"Yeah?" she answers. "Is Rin going to keep calling me Puko-Brow?"

He did already to learn that lesson to tell Rin her real name last time.

"No, not that…You still care about Rin and me? You're not afraid of him being the Son of Satan and all of that…?"

Izumo looks at Kiyomi to really like her coolness to still be herself, she does care deep down.

"Of course, I do, Kiyomi, calm down." She said. "We're friends, right? And you have okay of a boyfriend like Rin there. And really, we human and demons do get along to be on the same side. So, you of the whole Order trying to see if he'll keep him alive or not, to prove that your love is strong to control his powers if so. A test of courage, skills, and a good weapon to stop Satan by Sir Pheles' orders. His idea after all. So really, Kiyomi, you and Rin will be fine. Give the others some space, and tell your boyfriend to not freak out like an idiot already. There. You happy now?"

Seems that Izumo does care for Kiyomi to smile.

"Thank you so much, Izumo. You're right." She said.

"You're welcome…" and she goes back to being herself by hiding her feelings again. "I mean, whatever. I'm only saying the truth. Nothing more than that."

And so, does Rin too by smiling at Izumo as well.

"And we thank you for that, Izumo." He said.

Izumo was blushing with joy and happiness to act like it didn't matter to her at all to hide he is feeling deep down 'again'. With Shura sleeping, Izumo was really worried about Kiyomi too with Zuku being seal up and trap, she admits one thing being true for the others to know about Rin was still himself to be in training too.

"Listen, don't think nothing of it!" she said. "I hate cowards who spout silly sap like 'to defeat Satan' or 'for my friends'! And then get cold feet when things get tough, that's all!"

Well this touches Shiemi, Shima and Miwa 'a little after hearing all about it coming from Izumo's mouth', but not so likely on Bon's end.

"I decide to stay out of it, and you start mouthing off!" he said to Izumo. "Who are you calling a coward?"

Izumo just smirks at Bon to say this to him instead.

"Who are you, then?"

"Ah, man…! You shouldn't have been saying that, Izumo…!" Kiyomi begins to worry.

Well, she sure got Bon mad again for Rin to stop them from fighting by getting up from his seat.

"Cut it out!" said Rin. "We're supposed to be teammates!"

"(No kidding!)" Kiyomi agrees with her boyfriend.

Soon Bon turns his attentions to Rin.

"Teammates?" he repeats the word.

"Suguro! Believe in me!"

"Believe in you?" Bon questions Rin again. "How can I do that?"

Well, he 'sort of' has a point. But not in a bad way! When Bon, Miwa, and Shima try to save Kiyomi being mind controlled by Amaimon' doing during their boot camp training in the woods, it was a total nightmare; pushing Shima aside to a tree, breaking Miwa's arm with one flock from Amaimon's finger, and trying to strangle Bon to death for Rin to show his true form into battle in front of them, Shiemi, Izumo, and Nemu to see it all happen. Though Rin won to sort of burn the forest but not his friends or Kiyomi up to save them during the fight, and after the trial when all was good before the part of the secret to be train began…it wasn't much of a happy ending on Rin's end after seeing Y-Kun about the sword being fixed… during night time for Rin to see his friends with Yukio to stare at him for Kiyomi, Zuku, Shura, and Arthur to be holding Rin down for now wasn't a good time in a flashback here…

"Guys! Are you okay?" he asks them.

With Arthur holding him down a bit from behind, everyone looks at Rin to feel scared and betrayed a bit.

"Shiemi?" Bon…?" Kiyomi was confused and scared on what they were doing to her boyfriend. "Shima? Miwa? Nemu? Izumo? What's wrong with you guys? You all saved Rin and his sword, so this is the thanks he gets!? He has a reason to keep this a secret! Just listen-!"

"Why?" But Bon stops Kiyomi from talking.

"Bon…?" she was confused.

"What's the Spawn of Satan doing here?" ask Bon in anger.

With Rin shock to be hearing that along with Kiyomi and Zuku too…Yukio grabs hold of Bon to leave inside of the building to go somewhere else. Along with Nemu, Shima, Miwa, and Izumo joining them. As Shiemi looks at them for Rin tries being himself besides his tail to be showing off.

"Don't be such a drama queen, Suguro!" said Rin. "Don't let my looks fool you! I'm not that different from a regular human!"

Rin grabs his tail to stop moving for right now as Kiyomi tries to reach out to Shiemi to believe in them.

"Shiemi! You believe in us, right? Friend…?" she said to be worried even more.

"I-I'm not doing a great job of convincing you, huh Shiemi?" Rin asks her.

With Rin laughing, Shiemi just questions him.

"Wh-Why? Why are you laughing?" she asks to be really upset. "There's nothing funny about this!"

Crying in tears as Mephisto watches from behind, Arthur pulls Rin away for his own good for Shura and Kiyomi to follow them.

"Shiemi…" Rin look shock and upset.

She leaves with the others, leaving Kiyomi to feel left out for Zuku and Shura to try cheering her up.

"No, Shiemi…Not you too."

Remember during the trial before that? Yukio explains the truth to Bon, Shima, Miwa, Izumo, Shiemi, and Nemu of Rin being the half breed human and demon of the Spawn of Satan and him without powers 'not yet though' to be check on every day lately. So, Rin was told after Kiyomi whispers to Rin on what happened when he was out cold during the trial on what they went through to saving him and the sword to be fixed, and then ignore/shunned again? So, sad for Rin to see that to make Kiyomi upset – besides Izumo…Nemu, Shiemi, Shima, and Miwa didn't say a word.

"Oh, no…" Rin gets it now.

"But listen, I got Rin under control!" Kiyomi said to Bon. "He's not like that!"

Bon didn't think so to grab hold of Kiyomi's hand.

"Saki, why are you still dating him? His powers will hurt you if you date with the Son of Satan. Stay away from her."

Kiyomi pulls away from Bon grabbing hold of her to be acting weird all of a sudden. Was he…? Was Bon falling for Kiyomi Saki?

"Let go of me!" she said in anger. "I love Rin Okumura and you should all know that by now! I don't care what or who he is!"

"Is that so? Or haven't you forgotten the Blue Night?" Bon says it again. "On the Blue Night 16 years ago, the followers at my temple died in those blue flames. Blue Flames can kill people!"

Kiyomi didn't think so since it didn't hurt her a tall at the forest.

"No, it doesn't!"

But like Bon will listen to reasons at all…

"My grandpa! And Shima's grandpa and oldest brother! And Konekomaru's parents! They all died because of it from that night."

Yeah, Bon said that to mention to Rin again to make Shima and Miwa upset just thinking about it all over again. This shocks him and Kiyomi to understand more and more.

"(What?)" Rin and Kiyomi said at the same time.

Kiyomi knows of this to feel the pain from Bon, Shima, and Miwa a lot more. But again, not Rin's doing or he never ask to be like this.

"Bon…Shima…Miwa…It hurts, we know." She said. "(But we just want to still be friends with you guys. So why hate me? Because I'm dating with Rin? Is that it?)"

"The followers at my temple are like family to me!" said the anger Bon. "How do you except me to trust you after what you did to my family?"

As Bon was yelling at Rin, Kiyomi's head started to hurt to feel the pain to say, 'stop it' repeatedly.

"I'm sorry you went through that." Said Rin. "But so, what? That's got nothing to do with me!"

As the two glares at each other, Miwa tries to calm his friend down.

"Bon!"

"Oh, right…" said Bon to try believing in Rin if he could. "You said you were gonna defeat Satan, right?"

He was! For Kiyomi was still feeling weak…

"Damn right!" Rin said in anger. "So, don't lump me in with him!"

Kiyomi then let's out a big scream.

"That enough!" she sounded and look different almost to make a scene and then stops.

What just happen to Kiyomi just now? Sure, got everyone their attentions too. And with Rin burning up from Rin's flames to show a little 'but not so much' Shura places her sword across from him and Bon to stop fighting.

"Kiyomi!" Shura checks on her sister.

Kiyomi was freaking out to almost be crying.

"I…I don't know…What I just…!" she was scared and speechless to leave her seat to use the bathroom. "Excuse me…!" She runs off, for Rin to go after her.

"What was that?" Bon was confused.

"Kiyomi-!"

But Shura had something to say to stop the fight first.

"Listen up! Are you two gonna go at each other's throats when you're under fire?" she asks Rin. "You'll die." Shura moves the sword away. "Exorcists can't fight alone. Because of this, Kiyomi ran off crying. She still cares for you guys! And for what? You hate her too because she's dating with Rin being the Son of Satan to be different than his real mess up father? Huh!? Maybe you should learn how to work together."

As Bon sits back down with Shima and Miwa, Shiemi relaxes the best she could be sitting with Nemu, as Izumo felt their pain and Kuro with Zuku too, Shura knows what she met there. As Rin was still sad to go see how Kiyomi was doing as she tries to calm down in the lady's room to have the sink rung to stop crying. For she doesn't know what she did for her powers to act different suddenly to show in a second to go away after that, it happened she got mad. Does it have something to do with Todo's injecting her with something and trapping Zuku as well? Looking in the mirror, she wasn't sure about that herself.

"(What did that Todo person do to Zuku and me…?)" she questions herself.

As Yukio was on his way in with the other exorcists in the car driving for Shura's familiar type of Snake to keep track on the stranger to finding the other eye, he must be strong for Shiro's sake to protect Rin always and Kiyomi too without giving up on it. As his older brother protected him over the years growing up when they were little, could Yukio do that? With him thinking about it and Rin too as he checks on Kiyomi to see if his love will be fine to always be there for her no matter what happens next for them.

"(Kiyomi…Whatever happen just now, it wasn't your fault. You're so good to me as my girlfriend…)"

And with that, what will happen next? Was Todo 'being a demon now' a Shadow Demon working for the Shadow King to start a war to get the Left and Right Eyes of the Impure King to cause chaos? With Kagome Saki still trap and Kazu dead, how many more Shadow Demons were left out there in Assiah to get there from all the way from Gehenna? With three of the sister-like girls was one, the stranger, Todo himself, and some other bat-like creature with two small yellow eyes to be spying from afar to see from far distances with good eye sight. Calling himself Poka, of some bat-like shadow demon with wings to fly back to his master to report back as he was spying on Rin, everyone else on the train, Yukio from another far distance, and Kiyomi 'the most'.

"Ooh…More half breeds, our enemies Poka sees." He said to be talking funny. "Still on our goal, with one half breed looking special to be awaken…Poka must keep on researching…For master's sake."

And with that, more to come next time to be only the beginning. A weirdo at that! With more answers to be told little at a time I hope. Well, hope you guys are liking this with more to come next time, please leave nice reviews too. Thank you.
