Blue Exorcist: New Life

Chapter 20

((Rin's POV))

The breakup, wasn't so easy as I wanted it to be.
I mean sure, I knew it was going to happen, but my heart just wasn't prepared. Shiemi was still talking to me though which was good.
Em though.... She and I have been hanging out everyday after school. Mostly we talked about life, and she even told me more about her past. She used to be on a bowling team, and she draws anime. It was nice to know she was warming up to me... But I haven't completely warmed up to her. She still didn't know one thing about me....
That I am the son of Satan.
Sure, everyone else knew. What wS the difference? That's what I kept on asking myself over and over again. I always came up with the same answer.
I didn't want to lose her for good.
What if she didn't like me after? That's what scares me the most.
I thought about this each night as I went to bed, but tonight it got worse. The thoughts on what her reaction would be with her finding out the worst possible way.
"Rin.. What's wrong?"
"Oh... Nothing Kuro.."
"I don't believe that Rin. You've been sitting here with a frown on your face for a while now..."
A sigh escaped my mouth as I sat up. The small cat sat across from me on the bed.
"Well... It's just that one of my friends doesn't know that I am the son of Satan... I want to tell her, but I don't know how... Everyone else knows but her... I don't know anymore."
Kuro nuzzled once of my crossed legs.
"It's okay Rin. I'm sure you will figure something out. Just like Shiro would!"
I nodded at the thought of my old man. He would have known exactly what to do at this moment.... I lay down, thinking about all the wonderful memories with him as I fell asleep.

"Everyone please take your seats."
I yawned loudly next to Em. I had woken up late as usual. Em looked at me and smiled.
"I heard we are going on a mission today."
"Really? Cool."
Yukio cleared his throat, making everyone silent.
"Listen up. Today we have a major mission. As Exwires I will expect this to be a little bit difficult. The city has been corrupted by a demon. Not just any demon, but one that has possessed a human girl."
We all stayed quite as he continued.
"This demon has been telling the girl lies, causing her to fall for them. The demon takes form in a crow."
I gulped. We had dealt with a demon like this before, in fact one of my friends.
"Your job is to exorcise this demon, and keep the girl out of harms way. Any questions?"
No one spoke, causing Yukio to nod.
"Alright then. Let's go."

When we got there, it was worse then I ever imagined.
Yukio seemed quite shocked as a formal exorcist gave him the details.
"We can't have Exwires around this.
It's much more dangerous than we expected."
In the distance I could see a girl surrounded by a black Ora. I couldn't exactly make out her features, but she looked around our age. She was destroying everything in her path.
Em stood beside me, ready for action along with Vicky. Those two were strong when they were together.
Yukio finished talking with the exorcist.
"This situation was worse then anyone expected. I'm afraid you all can't get involved in this, no matter how much debating I do with the other exorcists."
Everyone stood back but me. There was no way I was giving up.
"Rin! Get back here!" Bon yelled.
"I know how to fix this!"
"No you don't you idiot! Are you insane? That thing could kill you!" Bon stated through gritted teeth.
Em ran up, and grabbed my arm.
"Come on. I don't want you to get in-"
Suddenly she stopped, growing pale. Vicky walked slowly up to her as well, pale too.
"What the hell is wrong you two?!"
"Sarah...." Vicky said with tears coming to her eyes.
Then it all came to me. Sarah...
That was one of their close old friends.
