Chapter 8
That night after Karaoke I couldn't help but remember the first time I sang that song. The words Mephisto told me continued to play around in my head.'
'You sing that song beautifully Mira.' Mephisto applauded causing me to blush, 'thanks Mephy, but why did you want me to learn that song in particular?' I questioned, 'I think someday those lyrics will really make sense to you. In this world one thing I know for sure is that people need other people, someday someone is going to need you by their side when they are lost, and someday you will need someone to be there for you. When the time comes don't be afraid to reach out, then again you will always have me.' Mephisto smiled as he passed me a large box. 'What is this?' I questioned, 'next outfit, this one is even cuter then the last!' Mephy grinned proudly. 'What am I your doll?' I yelled back, 'yes! Now go on try it on!' Mephy replied leading me to the changing room.
Those times were really fun now that I think about it. It was still too early for bed so I decided to go bug Rin. 'Rin!' I called out as I then opened his door. 'Oh hey Mira!' Rin smiled back, 'where is Yukio?' I questioned, wondering where he was at this hour. 'I think he has a job, so what's up?' Rin asked placing the manga he was reading down and Kuro jumped off of him and came over to me. 'Just bored,' I replied petting Kuro, and then sitting down next to Rin on his bed. I noticed his sword was next to him, 'it can't be too comfy sleeping next to a sword you know.' I laughed when a saddened look crossed his face, 'well it's important to me.' Rin replied, I then reached out to grab it, 'hey wait a sec give it back!' Rin called out as I jumped to the other side of the room. 'What's the big deal I just wanted to take a look,' I stated when I began to pull the sword from the sheath. 'No don't!' Rin cried out as I released the sword and blue flames surrounded Rin. His ears and fangs grew as well as a sinister look. I froze, Rin just stood there with his head hanging down. There was one thing known about blue flames; they were the sign of Satan. 'Rin...' I looked at him, he looked as though he would cry any second now. 'So now you see, we aren't exactly the same Mira...' Rin replied, 'so then... you are...' I stuttered, 'Satan's child...' Rin replied as my grip on the sword tightened. 'Rin I...' I tried to speak but tears started to flow down my face. 'It's okay I understand if you don't want anything to do with-' I cut him off by diving into his arms and holding him tight. 'I'm so sorry Rin, I'm sorry...' I continued to cry, I felt Rin's arms wrap around me tightly, his tears fell on my shoulder. He just continued to cry and I continued to hold him. I think I understand now what Mephisto meant back then, 'Rin I promise I will always be here for you... it's okay you aren't alone anymore... I'm here.' I spoke brushing my hand through his hair as he continued to cry.
After Rin calmed down he told me the story of what happened to the man who raised him. He told me how he felt when he found out the truth, how even his own brother was scared of him. Yukio didn't inherit the power for some reason, so Rin had to bare this burden all on his own. 'So you aren't scared of me?' Rin asked, 'of course not idiot, you are Rin, no one else and I know what kind of person you are. As long as you remain who you are your true friends will be by your side!' I smiled; Rin smiled back, 'you think so?' He asked, 'well if Ryuji and the others find out it might be rough for a while but they are great guys so I think in the end things will work out.' I replied when the door suddenly opened and Yukio walked in. 'Hey you two how are things?' Yukio asked, 'welcome back Yukio.' I smiled, 'hey Yukio, Mira just found out that we're the sons of Satan!' Rin replied casually, Yukio froze and dropped his bag, 'you told her?' Yukio looked pissed, 'no it wasn't Rin's fault I was playing with his sword!' I cried out in his defense, Yukio sighed sitting down on his bed. 'Well make sure you keep it a secret, only Mephisto and a few of the teachers know the truth.' Yukio replied, 'oh is that why Shura sensei seems so familiar with Rin?' I questioned, 'yeah she is training me to use my sword!' Rin replied, 'oh really do you think she could help me as well?' I asked with hope, 'if you ask her, she kinda scares me.' Rin replied, 'well she is an expert.' Yukio added, 'I will ask her tomorrow!' I smiled back.
The next day after cram school I came with Rin to his sword training. 'What's she doing here?' Shura asked with a confused look, 'sorry to bug you but I was hoping that you could help me train with my sword.' I bowed, 'wait wait wait... so you know about Rin and why I am training him?' Shura asked, 'yes.' I replied, 'look kid I work with demon swords. Are you saying you can handle one?' Shura asked giving me a cocky smile, 'well for your information I am a half demon and I possess the Bloody Sakura.' I stated causing Shura to stand frozen, 'what is that?' Rin questioned, 'that is a famous demon sword from the Sakura demon family. They are a race of demons that have mastered powerful demonic sword art. I was sure that they had died out...' Shura stated, 'my name is Mira Sakurai and I am the last remaining person with the Sakura demon blood.' I stated, Shura jumped off her table and stood in front of me. 'Alright Sakurai, prove to me that you have the Sakura demon blood.' Shura smirked, 'you want to fight me?' I questioned, 'let's just say that I want to give you a test run.' Shura responded, 'so wait this is happening?' Rin questioned, 'you might want to stand back, this could get ugly.' Shura replied as Rin backed off. 'Ready?' Shura questioned, 'bring it on Shura sensei.'
I bit the tip of my right thumb and drew the clan symbol on my left hand; in doing so I was able to draw out the Bloody Sakura, which was lying dormant inside my body. Rin freaked out when I took my position and Shura smirked. 'I see so you have a seal on your body as well.' Shura then pulled out her sword that was resting in her chest. 'Here I come!' Shura yelled as she came charging towards me, our swords clashed, I attempted to keep up with her skill and speed. 'Not too bad Sakurai,' Shura smirked while I continued to block her strikes, 'you are impressive.' I replied jumping back, 'Sakura Storm!' I called out as a rush of cherry blossoms flew from my sword, surrounding Shura and slicing into her skin. She was able to replace herself with snakes and appeared behind me unharmed. 'I think that's enough, I have to say you have more talent then Rin, I will give you that.' Shura grinned, 'hey! Though I have to admit that was pretty awesome...' Rin stated, 'alright I will talk to Mephisto about training you.' Shura replied, returning her sword to her chest. 'Well Mephy shouldn't have a problem with that.' I smiled back, 'well I did hear that you are his godchild or something like that. You poor thing...' Shura stated pulling me into a hug. 'I don't think he's that bad, I mean he is a strategist and loves to play games but I think his intentions are good.' I smiled back. 'You are quite fond of him aren't you?' Shura raised her eyebrows, 'yeah, he's family to me...' I smiled back. 'Well I still don't trust him, but I will help you improve your skills.' Shura replied. 'Thanks, so let's get to training then!' I grinned. 'Alright let's go!' Rin cheered. I promised myself from this point on I would work myself hard to become a great exorcist.
