The wind rushed and ripped violently around him, dancing through the trees he avoided yet another attack from the Oni, its red claws sheared through the branches destroying even more of the forest.
"I see reasoning won't work with you," Rin snarled, jumping down from his high ground. "So I will use power instead. Let's see how you respect that,"
Blue flames lit at the edges of the clearing, enveloping all the broken and trashed branches. Slowly the flames crept across the grassy field, lingering closer and closer to its prey trapped in the middle. All hope faded for the Oni once it saw the crystal blue dome forming around the edges of the circle, soon to be cylinder.
"You have two options, come back to the order with me, or be sent back to Gehenna. I promise you the order will not bring harm to you. If you listen to the tamers then we can arrange a deal. You can join me and make this world the true utopia Lucifer can never make," Rin's voice echoed around the dome, lulling on the demon's indecision.
"You are very brave my prince. You have my respect. But I will not be joining you,"
"So be it then," Rin sighed, letting the flames absorb the Oni. With a small flash, the demon was gone, all that was left behind was the host. Dazed, and hurt as always, but alive; at the end that's all that mattered.
"What's goin-" The human was cut off by a soft shush and was swept into Rin's arms. The man was easily twice Rin's size but the Nephilim managed to carry him like it was nothing. Returning to the base camp was easy enough and the volunteer exorcists were quick to aid the human in recovery.
With that Rin bid them adieu and left for his motel. It was an old building that had traces of mold but it was only temporary and Rin would be out of there soon enough. At least this place had wifi and a tv. Rin pushed the faulty door open and recoiled as he forgot to shield his ears from the evil hiss that reeked off the hinges.
Soon he would be in a nice place for some conference or interview, either way, he wouldn't be lingering in this undercover dump for much longer.
Walking into the room Rin went straight for the remote and clicked on the Tv,Breaking News, Everyone's favorite arch knight comes to the rescue once again. This Friday evening he-
The subtitles rolled on and on as Rin slumped onto a cheap motel bed, exhausted for the manual labor of the day he wished to sleep till noon, just to replenish half of the energy he was lacking.
"Everyone's favorite arch knight?" Rin scoffed viewing the headline as the blabby news reporter went on and on about his latest reported mission. "It's funny how opinions can change... I bet Arthur would be livid if he saw that. If he was still alive to see that,"
Time was an interesting thing, it came with so many benefits but so many downfalls. For starters, as you got older the more death you saw, and the more serious people got about everything. As you got older, the more alone you became.
Rin had everything he had wished for when he was younger, except people who surrounded him and spent time with him. He didn't have friends anymore, everyone was busy with their own lives. Of course, he always met up with them at reunions and he would visit the Suguro's for the holidays.
