"With The Healing Touch of an Angel"
By Kisara-Moonlight14
Hyuuga Hinata was a new girl at True Cross Academy. A girl chosen to assist Rin in controlling his blue flames. She was said to have purifying power beyond imagination. She was to be taken as his wife.
Two figures stood in front of an odd shaped door as they waited patiently for the chairman to summon them within his quarters.
Well, only one of them was waiting patiently.
The other was growing increasingly agitated.
They stood close to the wall across from the door within the large hall of True Cross Academy. Their large white robes covered their bodies completely. Even as they walked, their steps were covered by the hooded robes. It was to conceal them entirely from the world so their appearance did not bring attention to others. Specifically from the darkness that lurked within the shadows of this realm. The last thing they needed was to be attacked upon sight.
They could not do battle with anything or anyone before they were given the order to do so. Unless by some random chance, their true identities were revealed before meeting with their new master, they were told to show no mercy upon dealing with the demons of Gehenna as well as any other being that stood in their way; humans included. If the enemy was Satan himself, they would bring him to his knees. They held no worry of the great demon King appearing do to the fact that he couldn't bring himself within this world as he wanted to. He would need a host. His most suitable was dead. There has been no word of another human vessel being capable of such a caliber.
Waiting for this long was a bit pressing. One of them could guess waiting for their new master wouldn't be so lasting considering their status. The other believed the wait was worth it since they were not ready to begin with. If waiting this long was required of them, abiding by this was to be accepted. They understood there was someone in before their arrival. And they also understood that the chairman had been informed of their arrival before they arrived.
He knew this was more important than anything else so why is it that they had been kept waiting for so long? What was more important than this?
The taller figure grew more and more impatient as the shorter figure stood unwavering. The taller one crossed his arms over his chest with a huff as the shorter and petite figure remained diligent.
He then looked down at his friend; he wanted to see her face, to see if she too shared his agitation.
Thus, with no surprise, she stood unnerved as though her emotions regarding the situation finally set to ease. He knew that she was frightened. As frightened as she had been the day she turned fifteen. She was trained to be ready for this her whole life. She had confessed to him a few days before of everything she had been feeling over the past ten years with all that she had kept to herself. She believed her silence about her future was best for it made her parents happy. The last thing she wanted to do was disobey them and dishonor them. She did not wish for their disappointment, so she kept all of her worries to herself.
She didn't know if her feelings would have been considered, she never asked. Her life had been given away from the day she turned one year of age to now. Thereafter, was all up to her husband.
A husband she had not met and had already given to him her life.
The male's agitation was soon replaced with melancholy as his gaze lingered on the girl beside him for a few moments longer before he turned his head away and stared back to the door in front of them. He realized that every passing minute was a blessing she cherished; for she was still her own person. Even if she was raised to be the perfect wife and guardian; she was still able to be herself beneath it all.
Upon meeting and finally giving herself to her husband for the rest of their lives, she may no longer be who she is now. If there was something he could do about this, he would. For he too, found this distasteful. She was far too kind and pure to just be given away to a person like her husband. An everlasting light as she is and an unimaginable darkness as he is, should never be. He cared for her a great deal; he did not wish to see her light fade before him.
No, he would do everything that he could to ensure that she did not.
"Well, well, well."
Calmly, they both turned to the voice on the right of them within the long corridor of the bright colored school.
"Now exactly what could be so important that the heavens bring their lovely angels into the world of Assiah? Gehenna is one problem, yes. However, what powerful evil has befallen the earth for the presence of such pure hearted beings?" The man's voice was calm and curious as he stood a few feet away from them with his hands in his pockets. He stood with a lazy slouch that was barely visible and bore the black uniform of the exorcists' of the school. His hair was unruly, short, and brown with a black eye patch over one of his dark eyes. His lips played with a small smile on his slightly aged face.
The pair said nothing as they stared at the stranger. They were unsure of what to say considering the fact that very few people knew and recognized their existence.
Yes, there have been stories of angel sightings, guardian angels, angelic followers, messengers of god and so forth however not many knew of them for what they truly were. Some of these theories were partially true. However, none were exact; as far as they know. And in turn, this was a good thing for if the world knew of their real power; only chaos would reign the earth. That would only mean that they would have far more people hunting them for their divine power.
Who exactly was this person and why did he know of their existence? That was not common at all.
'And it's only our first day.' Thought the concealed male with his eyebrows furrowed and his lips frowned. He no longer had his arms crossed for they fell to his side when the male approached them. He was ready for anything with anticipated fingers. Regardless of what he was told. He didn't like that they were literally being revealed without directly being attacked. But that did not ensure that this stranger was not going to attack them. He was unaware of his intentions, and instinctively did not trust him.
'How in the world did he know what we were? Impossible. Not even the Vatican, the order; could possibly recognize us. As far as I'm informed Angelology was not taught within this realm. This world knew little of the natures of angels. They are mere theories. No truth. No fact. Theories. 'Who is this?' as the male's mind raced with unanswered questions, the tiny girl next to him recovered from her instant shock and dismissed the unknown man from her care.
Her husband was the only on her mind. All she cared for was how he looked, how he would react to her, whether he would be very kind or unbearably mean, what his favorite color was, how he carried himself when walking, what his hobbies were and so on. She couldn't help but ponder of all of these things at once. She immediately rid of any other thought that had nothing to do with him. Her husband she had never met. She wasn't even given a picture of him as he is now. The only picture she had was one that her husband's father had mailed to her family. A picture of him with his twin brother at the young age of seven. Their father even wrote on the back of the picture their names and exactly which one was her husband.
She had to admit, she was crestfallen when she saw that her husband was the one with the band aid over his cheek and a toothy grin as the other one looked as though he was an intellectual and clean for his age and a gentle smile. At the time she wasn't fond of boys that looked as though they had a rebellious and unkempt attitude. However as she grew older and became closer to her guardian and friend she grew to like the carefree personality and the said picture alone. She eased the thought of having to be the wife of that male. But it did not stop her from being nervous and it did not stop her from feeling sad. Even if she eased this within her mind, it never did sit well within her heart.
Her right to live her own life was taken from her...
...an empty feeling pulled at her chest.
'This is not fair.' Her eyes burned as she turned away from the stranger and walked towards one of the many windows within the hall. She wanted to feel the sun. She didn't want to cry. Not here. Not now. The sun will wash away her sadness as it always did.
Its wonderful rays fell over her brightly white painted robe as she bask within its radiance. The robe may have kept her covered, the sun's effect still bore through its light material. This robe was not earth made for it felt as though she wasn't wearing it at all. Her frustrated feelings were soon replaced with tranquility. The powerful feeling of love coursed through her veins. She then clasped her hands together in front of her as though she was about to pray. She closed her eyes slowly, absorbing the feel of the mighty ball of light. Failing to remember that this; will cause her to shine.
'The sun. So beautiful. I wish to hear its song again tonight.' The girl thought, never turning her attention back to the stranger.
This action went unnoticed by her friend, for he was still staring down the man in front of them.
He wanted to ask questions. Find out exactly what gave them away and what right he had to speak to them so freely. He did watch as the man continued to stare at them with slight curiosity. At the same time he recalled him looking to his side before his eyes followed around him and to the other side of him by the window. He must have been looking at his friend for there was no other reason for him look around at nothing.
As he continued to observe the man, he noticed the man's eye widening. Along with a shining light from beside him.
Wait a minute.
His eyes widened.
No!
He whirled to his right to quickly pull the girl AWAY from the window before it was too late.
It almost was.
The light radiating off of the girl shone so brightly, the hall of the school was shrouded entirely within its essence. This caused the stranger to cover his eye with his arm for it was too great for him to see. It would have been brighter, for its beams continued to sparkle around the hooded girl's figure. But as soon as her friend's hand gripped her forearm and pull her away from the window; causing her to stumble back, tear her hands apart as her eyes flew open in shock-the light was immediately dimmed to nothing as it disappeared altogether.
He then pulled her closer to him with both of his hands pulling at the sides of her sleeves as he met her face to face with their hoods touching. Disapproval evident on his usual carefree features.
"What in god's name are you doing? Are you trying to get us found out by the world, Hinata? It's bad enough this jerk off came out of nowhere. We don't need everyone knowing what we are. And the last time I checked, your father AND mother told you to be careful of your power for it is too great!" he sneered at her through clenched teeth; saying this just above a whisper. "What in the world were you thinking? Don't you remember? The sun reveals all!"
He growled in frustration at her with his teeth grinding against each other. The young girl before him stared at him with widen eyes before his words sunk in. She then looked away from his intense gaze dispiritedly. He was right. She wasn't supposed to be doing this now. She was able to in her own home but not here. It would be too much trouble.
After a few long moments, she kept her eyes away from his. He did ask her a question but he should have known she wasn't going to answer. Not like she playfully would. She was very sad. He could understand why she had done what she had. She was only trying to put her mind, body, and spirit at ease. She didn't mean to cause trouble.
He then sighed, closing his eyes to calm himself. He moved closer, brushing his forehead against hers. The hoods continued to conceal them as the man, the stranger moved to rub his eye for the light was surely blinding. He was fortunate he covered his eyes just in time to not cause permanent damage to his vision. He only had one good eye. He didn't need them both gone.
"Hinata-chan. I know this is scary for you. It's scaring for me too. I have to be with you at all times remember? It's not like I'm going anywhere. You won't be alone. You'll still have me to talk to. Don't fret, I'll always be there. Always." He whispered gently to her, as her pale eyes turned to look into his. Like usual, they were as gentle as the soft cuddly bear he was. They always seem to melt her in such a way when she stared into his beautiful irises. Dispersing her worries, her fears. This was one of many things she liked about her friend. He always knew how to make her feel better.
'He's right.' She thought. 'He will always be here. Always.' she gave him a weak smile before slowly nodding her head. She still found it hard to speak. Her spirits may have been lifted for the moment but it will all come crashing down again as soon as it was time to enter the office they had been waiting so long to be summoned. He grinned brightly and chuckled before stepping away from her and releasing her arms.
He did not forget the stranger for he turned to the man on guard. He will get answers.
"You! How exactly do you know who and what we are and why? The answer better be good or I will show you no restraint." He threatened, he stood tall and broad. The cloak never failing to conceal him. Hinata now stood next to him. She forcefully pushed aside the thoughts of her husband and joined her companion. Who was he? Why did he see past their well-hidden cloaks?
The man only finished rubbing his eye. It was able to see straight again and he looked at the two in front of him. He could honestly say that he meant no harm by what he said, he only greeted them. He didn't know that it would be wrong to address them. He didn't want them to get the wrong idea. He was only passing by until they caught his eye. It was hard to not notice them, they were so bright. He felt compelled to talk to them.
He went to say this, only to be interrupted by the knob wiggling at the door they stood in front of. All three turned to the odd-shaped door as the two directly in front, backed away slightly to give room for whomever came out.
As the door opened entirely, the chairman himself and a fifteen-year old male stood adjacent to him as they both paused before stepping out.
"Ah, I almost forgot you guys were here. I was just explaining to Yukio the details behind this delicate situation." Mephisto Pheles grinned mischievously as he motioned his purple gloved hand to point behind him with his thumb at the said person that stood near.
Yukio stood even straighter at this, his glasses misting over from embarrassment. Embarrassed that one, all attention was brought to him and two, he couldn't believe Mephisto left ANGELS waiting for more than an hour after their arrival just to explain to him something he wish he knew earlier. Kami he wished he knew this earlier.
Mephisto Pheles is horrible at informing important matters. He kept things from everyone, including the order.
The two angels were taken aback at what he just said.
He forgot?
Almost forgot?
And he just explained the details?
What?
The tall male could feel his brow twitching in annoyance. "You mean to tell me you had us waiting out here for you AFTER you knew we were coming only to find out that you hadn't explained anything to him? Seriously? You wait for us to get here to explain everything?" he growled lowly in anger. He had never met anyone that pressed his nerves so quickly when he didn't know them. The male in the hall was forgotten as their full attention fell to Mephisto and Yukio. Specifically Mephisto.
The eye-patched man found this confrontation a good time as any to slip away. Hopefully if he saw the two again; he would be able to tell them why he said what he said. However now, he had some place to be. So he left without a word. Walking pass the two unnoticed.
It was as though his presence held no purpose. He didn't even get to say anything.
The purple-haired demon couldn't help but laugh at his reaction; Yukio standing near behind him as he sweat-dropped; obviously still embarrassed. Unbeknownst to him that a pair of pale-lilac eyes was staring at him in question.
'Yukio? Where is….'
"Quit laughing! It's rude! Having us here for so long! And then that man….." Realization hit him as he frantically looked around him for the man. "Hey, where did he go?"
Mephisto continued to laugh as the male in front of him continued to look around in question. "Hahahaha…..he left. Igor had some things to do. Luckily he managed to entertain you for a moment. Now come in, come in. I have plenty of things to tell you that still need to be said."
If there was one thing Okumura Yukio knew about his twin brother was that he didn't like surprises. As he walked the red and green halls of the True Cross Academy's cram school for exorcist, he turned to glance quickly at the two still following behind him; both well dressed within the robes they refused to part with earlier.
They explained they were to not reveal their appearance until their master had seen them first...Well, this mostly applied to the girl; Hinata. She was to not show herself to another until her husband saw her first. So Mephisto, for now, went along with whatever made them comfortable. And of course, rudely shooing them away when he was done.
'Master...Nii-san..?'...He couldn't imagine anyone referring to his brother as master...Let alone Husband...
He recalled the events from earlier; taking place not too long before they entered into the cram school halls.
The three stood in front of the desk of the chairman Mephisto while he sat before them on the edge with one leg crossed over the other. He bore that impish-looking smile on his face as he always did, explaining the details of the situation.
Yukio stood on the other side of the tall male whom is about his height if not falling a couple of inches short whereas the petite smaller girl stood on the other side—standing a good short height of five foot two; putting her friend in the middle. It looked as though they purposely stood from tallest to shortest in front of Mephisto.
Yukio also noticed the girl never said anything, it was her friend that did all the talking. He kept glancing over at her as Mephisto and her friend converse. She and he never speaking a word. Maybe she felt the way he felt. He didn't think this was right. Why was it that his brother was married to someone he didn't know?
Mephisto did explain to him that his father set this up for his brother's wellbeing. Specifically for his untamed flames. That sword wouldn't be able to hold him back for long; he was going to need someone strong. Strong enough to handle him when lost control and strong enough to bring him back to his senses; allow him to walk among everyone without looking visibly different. They didn't know what else would be able to help him. So they decided that they were going to search for the purest of all beings ever known.
The first that came to mind…..angels.
How they were to locate angels? They had no idea. They couldn't walk through the gates of Heaven. It was far more difficult a task than that of Gehenna. So the idea of traveling to the golden skies was out of the question.
Angels were considered to be the purest of all creations and was said to have the power to cleanse anything impure, anything evil or dark in nature. They were able to purify and change all in death; return to life by their very presence. They were very rare to see for their light is too great for that of an eye impure. In turn was why only animals, children, and babies had the ability to see an angel unless the angel granted eyes their sight. Overall, they did not. Making the search for an angel for the young Okumura Rin to help assist him in controlling his blue flames, unbearably difficult. Seven full months they searched.
Finally, after much prayer and research, they were directed to the way of a high mountain where it was said that god's messengers dwell to live a life as humans. Not many knew of this place. They were sworn secrecy to its whereabouts or a curse would be brought upon them.
As they searched within the mountains where angels dwell, they were refused by many. What they asked of them was too dangerous. Not only that, he was Satan's son. An enemy of their god for far too long. They all refused to get involved.
Until one day, as they continued their journey within the angels' homes, they came across the perfect home with a human that was married to an angel. The two, together shared a child. And that child; after prayers and the reciting of bible scriptures, was to be married to the son of Satan. They explained to her parents, she could save all of Assiah if she was able to do this. They accepted, the reason behind why they accepted remains unknown to them but they didn't care. And as soon as Rin turned one year of age and the girl around the same age they were bound; married. And they were to not meet again until they both turned fifteen.
Since then, from what he learned recently, she was raised to be a wife.
His brother's wife.
His sister-in-law.
He couldn't lie; it had a nice ring to it. It did, he never had a sister and saying he did; it sound nice to his own ears.
However, how was his brother going to react to this? He's not going to like this. Not at all. This would definitely mean that he had to stop looking at Shiemi the way did that's for sure.
Yukio rolled his eyes at the thought of his brother drooling over Shiemi as the two males continued their conversation. The girl stood solid. This has to be bothering her way more then he thought.
She still said nothing as the two continued to talk. She could have joined in and shared her thoughts on the matter, but she didn't. She continued to keep to herself as though she was not there at all. He could admit to being shocked. Very shocked. His father had not once told his brother he had a wife. But at the same time, it would have required him to tell him of his heritage as well. So that he understood. But for so long as a single person to suddenly become-POOF- married. Especially with all of the girls his brother was interested in at school didn't make this any better. He would have unknowingly committed adultery.
Now that really wouldn't sit well with him.
He knew this all too well.
'He can barely take care of himself other then the fact that he cancook. But a wife. Seriously?' he thought, his gaze still lingering on her small form.
'That cloth hides her well. I'm starting to wonder what she looks like. I hope to god she is pretty. Or Rin will definitely, not like this. She has to be pretty, please I hope she's pretty..' Yukio was so lost in thought he didn't realize that he was being talked to.
"Yukio?"
"Hai!" startled he stood with his back straight; his arms frozen at his sides.
"Show them the cram school. I want them to attend there instead of the high school. Wouldn't want them to have too much attention brought upon them. Particularly, within the high school. Cram will be one thing, but both of the schools? Too much for them. At least for now." Said Mephisto a large grin on his face as he hopped off of the desk.
"Wait, you want them to attend the cram school? But they're …well…angels. How are they to go to the cram school? It's for exorcist. They could practically send demons back to Gehenna with the wave of their hand." Yukio knew, even to his own ears that he sounded foolish. But, he wasn't thinking clearly. This was all too much for him to take.
"No." replied the male as Mephisto's brow rose. "We are NOT able to send demons to Gehenna with the wave of our hand. You know how that sounds? Only gods can do this. Like the Aria within the exorcist field, we recite Holy Scriptures. Our biggest difference is that we know of scriptures NOT within today's bible or the bible at all. They were taught directly to us and for us to bear the knowledge of only. You must have a pure tongue to recite these words. The majority of humans do not and the one's that do can't talk, they 'babble'...you know...babies..."
Mephisto brow rose even higher, as well as Yukio's. "Really? There are other sacred holy scriptures?" asked Yukio. The male's hooded cloak moved so it looked as though he nodded.
"Interesting." Said Mephisto, he learned something new today. That hasn't happened to him in over two hundred years.
The male continued. "The same goes with all other exorcist positions, the only difference being with the Dragoon. We wield the weapons of god. Not the crap here made of metal." He scowled beneath his hood. The two males of course could not see this. They did start to wonder though why he spoke the way he did. No child of the heavens would have such a mouth. Or maybe it was because they were raised here on earth. Whatever the reason, they didn't put too much thought in it.
The female stood in the background thinking silently to herself as she looked straight ahead and out of the window. She stared lovingly at the sun; wishing to be free within its rays. Trying her best to not think about the fact that she was moving closer and closer to meeting her husband of fourteen years.
She sighed bringing the males attention to her. Something she wished she hadn't done for Mephisto walked over to her; bending down to look underneath her hood. He wanted to see her face.
As soon as he did this, she quickly pulled at her hood to conceal her face further before she swiftly moved back and away from the purple haired man to the other side of the crimson colored room.
Her companion's eyes widened as did Yukio's. 'What is he doing?' they both thought.
"Hinata?"
'Hinata?' thought Yukio after hearing the male speak the name of the only girl in the room. THAT was her name. That's right. Mephisto only said her name once and that was just an hour ago. He had forgotten so quickly do to the shock of knowing his brother was married to a girl he didn't know and was married to her for over fourteen years; that he forgot her name...Her name was pretty. There's a plus, maybe she is pretty.
'Please be pretty...'
Hinata expected Mephisto to stop, however he swiftly followed after her; surprising her and both the males in the room. "I only want to see your face, kiddo! I'm not goonnnaa biiiittee!" singed Mephisto with his malicious grin all the while he held his top hat as he leapt around the room after the tiny girl that leapt from chair to chair, table to table, couch to couch, his desk, the wall, the fireplace, the ceiling, around both males and back again. She continued this action as she increased her speed. She was doing everything she could to keep this Mephisto from getting a hold of her and seeing her face. He mustn't see her face. He wasn't supposed to be the first one here to see her face.
The two males watched.
Yukio wondering if he should stop this.
The male preparing to do so.
As soon as she passed around them again and the white clad demon ran passed him, he grabbed him by his collar with one white-gloved hand; snatching him out of the air and to the floor with a shocking amount of force. He landed with a loud 'thump'; this shocked the hell out of Yukio. No one has EVER EVER touched the chairman. Especially as roughly as he did just now. Yukio didn't not want to be here for too much longer. He did not wish to see the wrath of the principal. His class was going to start soon anyway, he had to get out of here.
Soon.
Mephisto laid shocked for a moment before he 'poofed' himself from the floor and into the air. Deciding then that he wanted to float as he looked the boy before him over with a frown; one of his legs crossing over the other as his top hat stayed fallen upon the floor.
Normally, this wouldn't bother him, but not now…..
He looked angry...
Yukio watched as no words formed correctly in his mouth for he wanted to ask Hinata and Mephisto if they were okay...obviously they were. Hinata from the anxiety and Mephisto from getting slammed into the floor. However, after taking one look at his face, he wanted to cower away. His face looked more demonic then usual and this bothered Yukio. He had to get out of here now.
Hinata then stood next to her long time friend as he stared down the principal. The face Mephisto was giving him right now…He couldn't describe. Anything would be an understatement. Yukio was growing increasingly scared. Moving himself to the two that stood in front of the chairman. He needed to get them out of there too.
The male and Mephisto continued to stare each other down. Mephisto didn't scare him. Yeah right. He could scowl all he wanted. No one is to touch Hinata without her permission and no one is to see her until AFTER her husband saw her first. That is what was commanded and that is what will be done. Regardless of what the principal wanted to do, their orders were higher than him whereas his orders were beneath them.
Anything else would be fine.
But when it came to Hinata herself.
He was crossing a line.
Yukio gulped, as Hinata looked at Mephisto too. The two males continued their staring contest for a few moments longer before Mephisto spoke.
"What was her reason for not revealing herself." He asked with a snarl.
The white-hooded male calmly answered, unaffected by his attitude. "She is to not reveal herself until her husband see's her first. That was the order and that is what must come to pass. Thank you."
Mephisto thought about this as his eyes narrowed. "Humph, fine!" huffed the principal, his darkness disappearing as his smile returned full force into a half grin. He uncrossed his legs as he landed in front of them. Yukio sighed in relief. Thank goodness nothing happened. He had never seen Mephisto that way and he didn't want to see him that way again. That's all he was worried about.
"Well, since I am unable to change the both of you out of your attire for right now, you will follow Yukio to his Cram school class. The one you are seeking should be there. Everything that you will need for your stay here at True Cross Academy will be held within the dorm that you will be sharing with both Yukio and Rin. And when I think it's okay for you both to attend high school along with Cram. I will let you know. Now be gone!."
And with a 'poof' he was gone.
Leaving a shocked Yukio alone with the angelic beings that he should now…..call his family.
The memory ceased as they neared to his class. The two behind him spoke nothing and he was nervous himself. He didn't know how to tell his brother this. Why in the world did Mephisto leave this to him to tell him? This was unfair. Scary. How was he going to tell him? When was he going to tell him? Of course it was going to be soon. But…how exactly? Kami, he was sooooo nervous.
They stopped in front of the door to his class. He gulped deeply as beads of sweat began to pool down his face while the blood rushed to head as his heart rate increased unnaturally. The pair behind him questioned if he was okay. A lot of this did not unnerve them, but the way he was reacting sort of did. Was he THAT nervous?
'Yukio you can do this. Yes you can. You can do this.'
He slowly turned the knob.
'Kami, I hope this ends well with him.' He thought.
And they slowly entered the room.
Since this IS a crossover, I have decided to naturally mix the Naruto characters within the story of Ao No Exorcist. Yes, you will see some as exorcist, some as normal people, some as demons, and a few as fellow esquire. With that being said, the story will be similar to that of the show and of course DIFFERENT. Hinata's status as Rin's wife alone changes everything. Just about anyway. So, as I have fun playing with these characters and mixing them all together. We shall have a wonderful story to read.
PS: Please excuse any grammatical errors.
Next Chapter: No! I will not accept this!
