A New World - Blue Exorcist [HIATUS]

Chapter II - Arriving

When I came out on the other side, I emerged into a colorful hallway.

"Huh, this looks like the one from Blue Exorcist...."

"Correct!" Exclaimed the man from the portal. Now that he was in light I could recognize him as Mephisto Pheles.

"Wait wha—" Suddenly blue flames surrounded me. I yelped in pain.

I could feel a tail slowly pushing itself out from my skin above my tail bone. My teeth were sharpening, nearly cutting my tongue, and my ears were elongating. Saying I didn't see it coming would be an understatement. The flames... I had seen them before in my own world.

"The house..." I mumbled.

Mephisto interjected, "was burned down by these flames? Yes. I didn't expect the worlds to be that close for them to actually ignite, of course. So I brought you here! The boy's other half should learn to control her gift as well."

"What the hell are you talking about!?" I snarled. Worlds becoming close? Other half? Whatever this is, being called a gift!?

"You're rather slow. Welcome, young Aiko, to Assiah!," he said calmly.

"I'm in an anime or manga or whatever?! That doesn't just happen!"

Mephisto smirked. "Then how do you explain all this?" All I could do was grumble, and go with it.

"I don't know why I liked you in the series, you're so annoying here!" I attempted to retort after a bit of an awkward silence.

"Well technically I'm your half brother, so shouldn't we get along?" he said smugly.

"Huh!? I'm an only child."

Mephisto burst out laughing, "hahahahaha, we're not in your world anymore! You might as well accept it! You see there was a reason I had you unsheathe your sword before we got here. So that the awakening would begin immediately without you questioning it. Now that I've explained that," he tossed the sword, which I had dropped, and its scabbard at me, "cram school will be over any minute. You wouldn't want them knowing you actually are the spawn of Satan, would you? And to think your dad was right all along..."

Now that hit a nerve. I growled in anger, increasing the intensity of the flames until I heard the sound of a door click. I instantly knew it was the students. I quickly sheathed my Kurikara replica, hid my tail in my clothing and my ears in my hair.

I muttered, "if I had more time, you would be so dead," clearly directing the comment towards my so-called 'brother'.

The first to walk out was Ryuji, followed by Shima, Konekomaru, Izumo, that odd kid with the puppet whose name I could never remember, Shura, wearing her hood as to hide her identity, Rin, Shiemi, and finally Yukio.

'Judging by the hooded Shura, this is before episode twelve. But by how much exactly?'  The 9 kids (if you were counting Shura as one) stared at me. 

"When am I?" I whispered to the now 'dogified' Mephisto.

"In two days, what you call 'episode 12' will commence. A quick warning, since you're Rin's other half, Amaimon might go for you as well." Even though I wasn't looking at him, I could feel him internally grinning.
