In The Middle - a Blue Exorcist Fanfiction

Chapter 2

OH DEAR GOD

I completely forgot all about this fanfiction until I got an email about it. I AM SO SORRY! PLEASE DO NOT HATE ME!

Anyway, I'll try hard not to do that again, but I can't offer any promises seeing as I am a freshman student in 2 Honors classes as well as Geometry. Enjoy please! ^_^

Before allowing Rin to speak further, Eren grabbed his wrist and dragged him to what resembled a small town. They stopped at a small run-down house crammed in between two others. Eren took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Within a few seconds, a tall demon with a slightly human body opened the door.

"Who goes- Eren? Ooh, who's the cute human boy? I heard a Phantom Train crashed, did you go check it out? Was he on it? What if he's an Exorcist? Eren be careful!" she said all at once.

Eren sighed. "Calm down. Asahina, this is Rin. Rin, this is Princess Asahina. She was betrothed to the Heir of Gehenna not too long ago. And yes, Asahina, I am aware of the fact that he is an Exorcist. Not only did he kill the train, but he is also wearing an Exorcist uniform from True Cross."

Asahina rambled on for what seemed like centuries to Rin. After a while, she invited them inside.

The interior of the house was no better than the outside. The couch was worn, the wooden floors were scratched, the paint on the walls was peeling, and the small window in the back of the room had a huge hole in it.

"It isn't much human, but it's my home. So if what Eren's saying is true, then you're an Exorcist AND a demon. It's the only way you could've survived the trip here. I won't pry too much. Eren is a good friend of mine and I'll help her out. Though, I'd feel lucky if I were you. Princess Eren could just turn you in to Satan, but she's being kind enough to let you escape unnoticed."

Rin visibly paled. "S-Satan?" he asked timidly. He started rubbing his hands together. Immediately, his mind went to trying to kill Satan, but these people could just kill him, right here, away from anyone to help him. All he could do was nod and hope he didn't look pissed off.

He didn't, but he looked scared as all hell.

Asahina laughed, "No need to be so nervous. The plan is simple. Most of the guards at the palace are demons that go by sight alone. I don't like to brag, but if there's something I'm good at, it's technology. I can shut the power off, and they shouldn't be able to detect you. Once you're inside, head down the corridor to the left and take those stairs up three floors. Go straight for a little while, and take the first left you can. That should take you to the bedroom hallway. The third bedroom on the right is Eren and Fasha's room. Fasha should be in there right now, unless she is taking late night classes. If she isn't, she can assist you in creating a Gehenna Gate. If she is, Rin, you will have to help. In Eren's room, there are healing herbs, ointments, seeds, and spray. There are also some demon foods, weapons, and educational reading materials. I'm sure Eren will want to give you some, especially if you're a demon. Well, that's about it... any questions?"

Rin's head was spinning with questions, but the first one he managed to spit out was "Why do we have to through the castle?"

The question was directed to Asahina, but it was Eren who answered. "You think I'm helping you for your sake? I've been planning to escape this hellhole since I was a child. It just so happens I picked this night to leave. My father is away, Asahina isn't busy, and neither is Fasha. The only reason I decided to help you is because I have the same goal. To get back to Assiah."
