Blue To Grey

2

Hey so I got inspired by Alive_out_of_spite who created Angel of Blue another Blue Exorcist angst fanfic which is really good. If you've read it great if not check it out. Although I don't think their finishing it and the same might happen here so if you actually read this go ahead and spam me to update and totally give me ideas :)
Also this is purely fanfiction and not everything actually happened in the anime. (I've only watched the anime so idk bout manga :/) Just wanted to make that known for sure.

Recently I have been having tea and chatting with Mephisto (idk if thats what he calls him since its been a while but thats what hes gonna say) and sometimes Shura tags along but doesnt partake in the 'tea time' more of 'tipsy time' for her. "You mind if the kid trains here? The others are at his dorm with Yukio and he wants his personal training somewhere else." Shura says taking a sip of her 'mysterious drink'.
"Not at all, actually I would like to see his progress." He answered. I sighed thinking of my fail at controlling them and setting his office aflame. It would be funny but also dangerous... But also funny. I get ready and sit criss cross apple sauce while Shura plants the candles in front of me. What? So what if I still say 'Criss cross apple sauce'? It's a totally normal and mature thing to say. Anyways I focus and think I could totally nail it this time when Mephisto stops me dramatically. "Wait!" That surprise alone ended up with me burning his carpet.. Oops. He sighs deeply. "You all have been teaching him wrong." He facepalms. Shura and I were in disbelief. "How can you tell without even letting him start!?" She asked. "Tell me Rin" I perked up at my name and hummed telling him I was paying attention. "The first time your flames came out and from there on out the times you were able to use them how did you do it?" He asked waiting for me to answer. As I thought about it any time I did activate my flames without my sword I wasn't trying to force them out. They were like... "Instincts" I said now realizing and with him grinning he said,"Correct. You are training as if, like your brother, you had an object of some kind like his guns. Your training as if it's something that's not apart of you but in truth your flames are apart of you. Really disappointed since I thought out of all people you would understand." He said looking at Shura. "Hey don't blame me! Technically four eyes is supposed train him.. Oh wait. Nevermind." Alright how about this kid. I teach you how to stash your sword in your chest like I do mine?" She smirked. "Splendid idea!" Mephisto clapped. "HAH? Wait please tell me it doesn't mean skin has to be revealed." I complained. It would be weird with boobzilla. "Well how else am I going to do it? You have to get markings like mine. Affterrr you finish this candle exercise." And with that I trained but this time taking what Mephisto said to thought and to heart. After about 6 tries I finally did it! Much better than my 50 a day without success! (Poor candles) I got a sucker like some kid from Mephisto but to be honest it made me happy. Although he did say something about having to get more before someone notices he gave it away? Oh well. So we went through a door and went to Shiemi's mom's shop. We bought some stuff then left but not before i saw shiemi give a halfhearted wave. She still looked frightened but I don't blame her.. I really did look like a monster. After being so lost in thought we ended up in a really beautiful forest. We had walked through some bush and viola! A water fall that went into a lake and a rainbow could be seen with the sun shining down through the clearing seeming like it was lighting up every flower the light touched. Birds and crickets could be heard, It was all like a scene in a fairytale... Until it was ruined by boobzilla "Alright enough, pay attention over here." I must have been spaced out admiring the scenery too long because she was all set up near the water with the stuff she bought on a flat stone that looked like a table or a bench. I walked over while she added the water in the pond into the little mixing bowl and ground it up making it sort of like ink.. Oh. I think this is when she gives me the marks?
"Alright take your shirt off or unbutton it or whatever."
"You could have said that a little better. It sounds like your a creep." I said mumbling but she karate chopped my side. (Negativity Begone! If ya get it I love ya) "Ok ok whatever" i said as I unbuttoned my shirt. "Wow your as skinny as a stick.. You sure your eating alright?" She actually looked worried. "Hm? Oh I barely noticed maybe I should start actually working out instead of relying on demon hunting to get me abs" I said laughing to myself in which she joined in. "Eh well if your staying this small and skinny your gonna end up being a total bottom. It's like your a bunny instead" I faked being offended. "How dare you I'll have you know.. Actually I have no comeback." We laughed again. It was actually nice. It's weird how I can feel so normal around her. I would say she would be a great mother but that's a lie so she'd be a great aunt? Yeah definitely one of those crazy fun aunts who let you drink their wine at family reunions. I smiled at that and realized she was snapping her fingers in my face. "Huh?" I tilted my head confused. "Damn you really are like a bunny or maybe a dog. Also your spacing out a lot today. Maybe try getting more sleep kid. Anyways I finished with the marks I just have to chant something and bam your ready to train!" ... Silence "MORE TRAINING!?"
to late she started chanting while I let her do her thing and the blue outline she made with the ink substance started glowing and seemed like it was seeping into my skin. I sighed wondering if this or training was going to exhaust me. It would probably be better if it did so I could sleep early. No scratch that, so I can sleep at all. My thoughts are keeping me awake all the time nowadays. "Alright they are permanent now!"
"Y'know what? Doesn't even surprise me now. So it's like a tattoo?" I asked.
"Yup. Now all you have to do is get used to being one with your sword just like you did with your flames." (This isnt actually how it works or at least I don't think it does but I'm literally coming up with this as I go sooo yeah also he looks like he does in the photo at the top) "Oh ok." I answered her and like that we started training with her being a better mentor this time. I was in full focus mode with the change in scenery from a dingy concrete room or a roof to the wonderful woods that I planned on visiting now that I know- Actually.. "Hey snake woman can I get the key for this area? I wanna train here more often."
"ORR you could literally walk from your dorm or school. I just used the key because it was farther from that clown's office." I made an oh shape with my mouth and continued training. A few hours later I got it down both sheathed and unsheathed meaning in my human and demon form so after nearly impaling myself with the sword many times. She let me have the rest of the day to myself which to be honest was only a few hours but even so I decided to enjoy it here and go exploring. I realized I have a key to unlock any door and told Shura to go ahead and leave. What could possibly happen by myself?
