Paralyzed

Chapter 2

When the cage doors opened, the demon wasted no time in pouncing. It was fast, faster than they anticiapted. Suguro and Koneko closed their eyes chanting from the section where its fatal verse was located. Rin’s eyes found Izumo who released her demons towards the giant Demitsu. His gaze found Shima, who was shaking where he stood, not much help in his state. 

The group watched as Izumo’s demons distracted the Demitsu, giving Bon and Koneko the perfect opportunity to focus on the passages. Rin’s gaze found the Demons crimson eyes, that seemed to catch his. The Demitsu’s smile widened, showing a sharp grin, its poisonous saliva dripping onto the ground below. It advanced toward Rin, Izumo’s demons no longer a concern.

  I’ve found you. It growled, its head menacingly lowering. 

   Rin felt a sharp ping in his head causing him to groan and drop to his knee. Izumo noticed. "Rin?!" She shouted. Suguro didn't stop but he looked over to see what the comotion was all about. 

  The son of Satan. The Demitsu got close enough to the group when it got down into a pouncing positon, it's tails going up. Your father wants you, but he didnt say he wants you whole. I wonder how a half demon half humans flesh tastes.  The Demitsu chuckled, but to humans, it sounded like a low growl. The Demon charged Rin, disregarding the team of Ex-wires that stood in front of him. Rin caught that he would have to charge his companions in order to get to him, so he leapt away from them ignoring the pain from his head.

  "You want me, bastard?! Come and get me!" Rin shouted. That's exactly what it did. Rin ran to the left into the empty field, trying to get as much distance from his friends as possible. Rin knew he could easily defeat this creature with his flames, but the guilt in his stomach prevented him from doing it. He didn't want to look over to see the scared or angry looks on their faces. So did the one thing he could think of. Use his own body to train the Demitsu’s attention to his. . He may not be on speaking terms with his companions but he didn't want to see them get hurt. Blame his human side for that big heart of his. 

  Yes, run, Little Prince. The creature said. You can’t be the real son of satan with such a weak heart. Rin looked back to see the creature swipe, to Rins surprise, it caught his arm. Instantly his arm exploded into burning pain, Rin grunted, but didnt break his stride one bit. 

  He made a B-line, causing the Demon to crash into the barrier, burning its arm. Rins gaze spotted Suguro and Koneko, still trying to find its vital passage. Rin caught that they were watching him, almost as if anticipating if he was going to use his flames or not. Rin’s stomach churned. 

  The Demon slowed its advances before coming to a complete stop. Its eyes going from his companions to Rins. I see what makes your heart so weak. The Demon snarled. Pesky human flies. Interfering Fathers plans! The Demon changed its course, now sprinting full charge towards Suguro. 

    Suguro continued to chant, but the fear on his face was eminent. Rin used his demonic speed, his body bursting into flames without drawing his sword. There was a flash of Blue before a strong wind broke out, knocking both Suguro and Koneko over. That's when Koneko started another Verse and they heard the Demon growl. They had found it.

  When the dust of the collision cleared They had seen just what exactly had happened. Rin had claws dug into his abdomen, pinning him to the ground. His sword still not drawn, thrown a few feet away. Rin was holding onto the Demitsu’s jaw, holding it back from his face as the final versus were being said.

  Rin could feel his organs trying to repair themselves already but the claws were in deep, preventing them. His insides felt like they were made of molten lava, the claws giving the same sensation as his arm. He felt something warm and thick coming up from his throat. Was it vomit? But When he coughed it up, the smell of iron hit his nose hard. Not Vomit. Blood.
