My Life In Blue Exorcist

Chapter 34 - Kage

-Third Pov-

"Goddammit! That useless bitch couldn't even take care of that little piece of shit!"

Somewhere in the high-class area of Japan, a man with golden hair is seen throwing his glass of expensive champagne to the floor, spilling the contents everywhere. The man, Envy, is annoyed at his familiar for not taking care of Rin and to make matters worse, he lost quite a powerful ally due to him underestimating Rin.

The process of brainwashing a human into becoming a Banshee is a long process where the corpse lies in the blood of their loved one's blood for seven days and seven nights. The only reason Envy put up with this ritual was for her body. She refused him the first time so he killed her lover and her family in cold blood along with her. Of course, he wasn't patiently watching her body absorb the blood while being exposed to Demonic Energy. No, he was doing foul things to the poor girl in the meantime.

(Envy): "Che, the other Sins are going to make fun of me at this rate. That damn Samael and his seals! If it wasn't for them than I wouldn't have required to send my servants to vandalise the area in order to find that bitches daughter!"

Envy was starting to lose his patience once again. As a Demon with a long lifespan, his concept of time is slower than others, making him one of the lazier Sins as he likes to indulges himself in p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, arguably as bad as Sloth.

However, there's one thing he wants and desperately so.

(Envy): "If I can absorb that kids flames and the blood of that s.l.u.ts daughter than I'd become unstoppable!"

Yes, that's the main reason Envy d.e.s.i.r.es Rin's and Akane's death. He's a usurper with the ultimate goal of becoming the strongest. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the brain capacity to make the most of his abilities as everything in his mind is driven by his envious childish nature. The fool wouldn't notice a plan against him until after the deed was done. Luckily he's always had a servant or two to take the blow for him.

(Envy): "Che, that so-called 'Satan's Son' doesn't deserve his powers at all! It should belong to me! Then I can finally win against Pride!"

Envy smiles viciously as if he's found a method to get a hold of the two. The fool believes he's perfect by all standards almost rivalling Pride in terms of attitude.

If only he knew of the suffering he was going to inflict on himself when Rin has his hands on him.

-Kage's Pov-

...Where am I?

The first words that came to my mind is where am I? Wait… what am I? I am so confused… a

Why am I surrounded in.... darkness? Wait, how do I know that this is darkness...? How come I am able to recall different knowledge...?

...I'm scared... Where am I...? Why am I here...? Why can I not see anything…? I do not even know what I am... What do I even look like?

I had questions like these as I 'Curl up' into a ball. I'm scared... I want to leave... Please… Save me...

(???): "Can you hear me, Kage?"

After what felt like years, again I have no clue what that is, I suddenly heard a voice. Kage...? Who is that...? I hear the mysterious voice as I see a blue light in the darkness around me.

What is this colour and how do I know it is blue?

I put my curiosity at the back of my 'head' as I slowly get up from my curled up position and walk towards it. For some reason, my body moved on its own. I awkwardly take my steps, as I have not walked since I got here, as I make my way closer to the blue light.

(Kage): "I can hear you."

For some reason, I felt compelled to say those world as I suddenly leave the darkness. I see myself in an unknown place, the words alleyway comes up in my head, as I look around with curiosity. The place is dark, but nowhere near as bad at that place of darkness. It was then that I noticed the man in front of me. For some reason, I did not notice him standing in front of me as his body is covered in that same blue light.

Fire? Again, what is that? These words appear in my head but I do not understand the meaning to any of them.

As I am still confused, I did not react to the situation until he gave me his coat. He looked at me in the eyes, they seemed strong and resolute, as he spoke to me in a gentle voice.

(Rin): "Hi Kage, my name's Rin Okumura. From now on you'll be known as Kage Okumura, a shadow to help me and a child of mine along with your siblings and siblings to come. I hope we can all get along as a family."

The man says with a gentle face and a friendly smile. For some reason, my instincts tell me that he is not faking his words which gives me a surprise. It was then that I had a better look at him. Navy blue hair that goes past his nose, pale white skin, intense blue eyes, slightly pointy ears, and a black tail that's swaying sideways behind him.

I take a look at myself to further assess the situation. I seem to have olive-brown skin, black hair that goes down to my waist, I touch my ears to find out that they are both slightly pointy and s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e, and finally a black tail similar to the man in front of me. My head is starting to hurt from all this new information. How do I know about them? What am I? How did I get here?

I quickly calmed down once again and processed the mans words. Family? Child? Siblings? I feel pain from hearing the new words but I quickly put what he said together as I speak to him.

(Kage): "I take it that have become your daughter now."

I say that with a calm voice as I look at the man in the eyes. I still have no clue on how I got here, nor do I trust him even though my instincts tell me his words have no sense of falsity.

(Rin): "It's embarrassing to say but yes. I'm sorry for the way I approached you but I hope it doesn't make us start off the wrong foot."

The man seems to have picked up on my suspicions of him. I mean, I believe it is justifiably so. I only just left that darkness and found myself in a unique situation as this, though he does seem sincere about his approach.

(Kage): "I am not talking about it in a bad way, I am just a bit surprised by my new circ.u.mstances. After all, I didn't even have a mind of my own until just a few moments ago."

I say that with a little sad tone since I do not remember much before this point. I have knowledge over speech and random stuff, even a little bit about history, but I know nothing about myself or who I was. Maybe this man will know? He seems to be the cause of my escape. If so then he may have created me. He did mention the word child before.

(Kage): "Since you have brought my existence to this world, it is only suitable that you are my Tou-san now. You mentioned I have siblings, are they of a similar circ.u.mstance as myself?"

I am curious about my new situation. It seems as though my purpose will be entwined with this man I now call Tou-san. I wonder how my other siblings will treat me? Well, anything is suitable as long as I do not return to that dark place again. Do they also come from that Dark place or is it just my situation that has that.

(Rin): "Haha, yeah they are. Though we may not have a direct relationship through bloodline, I will still treat you all as a father should."

Tou-san says with a firm voice. His voice holds no lies as his eyes are serious from this statement. Good, I believe I can trust him for now. If not, I will simply escape once I get the chance, but I am more curious about these other so-called siblings of mine.

(Kage): "Thank you, Tou-san."

I say that as I imagine what it is like to have a family. Although I have no recollection of being in one, I have seen couples and friends hanging around before. I wonder if we will be able to impersonate these activities. From the looks of all of them, they all look happy but I do see others that are sad and angry. Is that part of being in a family?

Just what are these memories of mine? They feel familiar yet very distant. Like they belong to me but not at the same time. Well, no matter, it will be a good idea to follow this man until I am strong enough to defend myself.

(???): "AIIIEEEEE"

Just as I was about to get up from my seated position, I suddenly hear a loud shriek that made my head go numb and my heart stops. I.. I can't move. What is this unknown feeling creeping into my heart? Is this fear?

I was too preoccupied by this sudden new feeling that I did not notice Tou-san grabbing my waist and dodging a sudden attack. While we were in the air, I started holding onto him with dear life as my body starts shaking uncontrollably. Make it stop! Please!

I dare not to look at the thing, for fear of the pain getting worse, as I bury my face deeper into Tou-san's embrace. The pain is slowly affecting my consciousness as my body feels weaker. My eyes feel heavy. Just why…? Why are we being attacked…? Does the world hate me that much…?

At some point, Tou-san picks me up into a Princess Carry but I ignored that as I quickly put my hands to my ears in an attempt to block out the dreadful sound. Just stop it! I scream internally in an attempt to cancel out the sound but does not do anything other than make me feel even more tired.

Once we got onto the roof, Tou-san put me down on the floor which frightened me. Am I going to be left behind? With that sound Demon? I freeze up thinking of the endless possibilities as they play inside my head like a simulation, but that stopped once I looked at him in the eyes

(Rin): "Stay here, Tou-san will deal with this Demon."

Tou-san says with a gentle smile on his face. I instinctively nod my head as I call tell he is not lying but in those dark blue eyes, I noticed a deep hatred and bloodl.u.s.t towards the Demon. Though it was not directed at me, I wondered why? Why go so far for someone you only just met?

Seeing my nod, Tou-san patted my head before wiping my face with his hands. Was I crying?

I was about to ask him my previous questions but then that scream came back, causing me to stumble on my words. Tou-san noticed my discomfort, probably from my swollen eyes as they were about to cry again, as he puts his hands over my ears. I wanted to tell him that it was of no use but that's when I saw them.

Those Blue Flames. Beautiful Blue flames that emerged from his hands like a Phoenix out of ash. It was then that I noticed something that I desperately missed. Silence. The same silence that I used to hate. Back again to greet me as I have finally escaped the Demons death shriek. I never would have thought I would be this happy to feel this again, but I didn't have much time to enjoy it as Tou-san breaks me out of my thoughts.

(Rin): 'Let Tou-san deal with the Demon. Sit tight and wait for me.'

It was then that I got a better look at the man's sudden change. Navy blue hair with now flame-like blue horns growing on his head, his deep blue eyes that now have become a wild blue similar to his flames with deep red pupils instead of his normal black pupils. His ears have become much longer compared to before as he starts to resemble an elf but the most amazing part was his blue flames struggling to hold itself back.

Is he… angry for me?

He gives me one last gentle smile before giving me a light hug then turning his back, facing off the Demon with the horrible scream. His entire body exploded as flames started to appear like a volcano being erupted. Looking at him from where I am, I can tell he was saying something to the Demon just by looking at the movement of his jaw before summoning a Katana covered in flames. He drew both of the Katana's on him as he throws the hilts away before they get consumed by his flames again.

He readies his stance before taking a deep breath then charging towards the Grey skinned Demon. Their exchange leaves me astounded as I feel the shockwaves of their attacks from over here. Tou-san attacks and defends as he calmly battles the Demon but his eyes give away his intentions for blood.

I never realised that Tou-san is this powerful but it then hit me that we barely know each other. We have only known each other for a few brief minutes before being attacked. Just why though? Why save someone you hardly met? I cannot believe he is that trusting to someone that could potentially betray him. His kindness, foolish or not, surprises me just like his ruthlessness on his opponent. Tou-san seems to have the upper hand.

At one point the Demon grabbed one of Tou-sans Katanas with her b.a.r.e hands before flying upwards with him. Can he not resummon the weapons? Why go through with the Demons attack?

I felt worried for Tou-san as I feel something unknown surging through my veins. I need to catch him when he falls. Come on! Think! Use that useless head of yours to think of something to save Tou-san!

I couldn't think of anything useful so I let my body move on its own as I ran towards them, hoping to break his fall when he lands. I'm aware it is a foolish decision but what else am I supposed to do?

I soon found out that my actions are useless as Tou-sans eyes shone with confidence and tenacious resilience. Once the Demon stopped accelerating upwards, Tou-san used that moment to grab her face, digger his nails into her decayed-like grey skin and setting her ablaze as her body implodes as loud noises sound throughout the area.

The Demon seems to be in excruciating pain as it frantically tries to get rid of him but fails to do so. Seeing no other options whilst her mind is clouded by pain, she dives downwards with speed faster than before. The fall will definitely kill him!

I began running towards them again with no useful plan in mind whilst praying to some unknown entity to keep Tou-san safe. Dammit! Why am I useless!

The more I shouted at myself, the more I feel that strange energy but I ignore it as I run towards Tou-san once more in a useless attempt just like my existence. Please make it. Please don't die!

As if some God heard my prayers, Tou-san lets go of his Katana just as they were about to pass the buildings, sending it into his flames storage just like how it appeared, as he uses his flames to make a platform for him to stand on. Though it looks like he was about to fall off of it, most likely due to his lack of practice using his flames for such use, he still had the might aura around him. As if he was a king on the battlefield. An Asura.

I just stare at him for the moment as I analyse his face. His eyes hold deep resentment and hatred for the Lady Demon but his face is calm as the sea. Calm as the sea but as devastating as a tsunami.

The Demon seems resilient in killing Tou-san as it carries on attacking him but with much less nimble movements than before. It continues to shriek its horrible scream but I still cannot hear any of them thanks to Tou-san flames that block out the sound. I wonder how such a thing is possible with just fire? But I suppose I would need to learn the basics properly before I could come up with the answer.

I think this calmly as my faith in Tou-san has increased. Even if I run, this man seems powerful enough to find me very quickly but that does not matter at this point. I have decided to get stronger to make sure I do not experience this same dreadful feeling again.

While I was busy making my new resolve, Tou-san seems to have gotten bored of his opponents' predictable movements as he kicks her to the wall before stabbing her at the centre of her c.h.e.s.t.

(Rin): 'Are you safe, Kage?'

I hear the worried voice of Tou-san as he looks around for me. I feel warmth in my heart as I look at his somewhat panicked look, I respond back whilst giving him a wave which he soon finds me.

(Rin): 'Alright I see. Kage, what I am about to do is going to be extreme. If you cannot handle it then look away but be warned though, this world is not a safe place. You need to get stronger if you want to live and even more so to protect those around you.'

Tou-san says that before cutting off the telepathic communication as I ponder to myself in silence. The world is not a safe place, in fact, that world of darkness is probably safer than here, but I have already decided. Regardless of what path I take, I will continue to fight against this world if it chooses to forsake me.

To do that, I have to be stronger. Not just that, but smarter. Tou-san has his Blue Flames while I have yet to unlock my powers. I need to get stronger if I wish to be of any use to him in the future. I felt something about to unlock earlier but I couldn't even make use of it. I really am useless...

I continue watching Tou-sans back even after witnessing him torture the Female Demon. Chop by chop I felt my skin crawl as I imagine that hell the Demon was going through. I felt bad for her but I did not say a word as I acknowledge that this is a dog-eat-dog world. She also caused me that pain and would've killed Tou-san if he was weak so she deserves this for punishment of her actions.

After what felt like hours, the lady finally ceased to exist as I sigh in relief. I did not realise that I was holding my brief so I feel a little light-headed. The interrogation process itself was horrible to watch but it was an eye-opening experience to see how cruel the world can be. Power is what gives order but order cannot be attained through sheer brute force. I need to get both stronger as well as smarter.

(???): "So we have Satan and another Demon here, huh."

Just as I was about to run towards after Tou-san and check on his injuries, a voice suddenly appears behind me as a gun is placed on my head whilst unc.o.c.king the gun.

It seems like the flames that were covering my ears are gone now. Tou-san who looked as though he was going to sheathe his Katanas until he noticed the unknown voice as he looks at our direction whilst giving the man a death glare.

(Exorcist): "Jeez buddy, hold your horses will ya? One wrong move then I'll blow this chicks brains out."

The man says as that as he puts his hands over my shoulder. His breath reeks of what I assume is Alcohol as I resist the urge to vomit. His hand feels nothing like the warmth Tou-san gave me. It reminds me of the darkness. Cold and unwanting. Disgusting.

GET YOUR F.U.C.K.I.N.G HANDS OFF OF ME!

I feel power surging around me once again but this time, I have an understanding with my abilities. The man notices my change as he was about to pull the trigger but it was too late as my body melted into the shadows before instinctively appearing next to Tou-san.

Everything happened too fast for me to process but the man, or Exorcist might be the better word, seemed to have panicked from my sudden escape as it tried firing bullets at Tou-san in an attempt to kill him but it fails. Tou-san easily deflected the bullets with just his Katana as he slices them in half before quickly arrives next to the Exorcist and grabs covers his mouth with one hand as he uses the other to stab him in the gut. The man releases a muffled scream as his body slowly melts and burns into smithereens.

Tou-san then runs towards me with a somewhat worried face as he warns me.

(Rin): "We need to escape quickly before more Exorcists on patrol appear!"

Tou-san says that as he soon hugs me as more Men dressed in the same uniform as the deceased Exorcist appear, but my vision got blocked as Silver Flames manifest itself. I closed my eyes from how bright and shiny it is before opening them again to see the scenery around me changed once again.

We are in some sort of room now, where there are three beds in the room, two at either side at the wall while one is in between the two of them but without the bed frame, only a mattress, with two desks in the middle of the room.

(Naneko): "Rin?"

It was then that I noticed the people on one of the beds, two girls who look about Tou-sans age and two boys who look about my age. My immediate thoughts were if they are part of my family Tou-san mentioned but I put that at the back of my head as I check up on Tou-san.

Tou-san is still hugging me and seems to be trembling. I see, so even Tou-san isn't completely strong. He has his weak points as well, like everyone else. I hug him back to give him some comfort before talking to him.

(Kage): "Everything is alright Tou-san. Thank you for saving me."

I say that as he begins to calm down. The stress of almost losing a family member must have caused his body to move on its own. I know Tou-san will get better. He gives me a bright smile of relief as he pats my head.

(Rin): "Thanks."

I return the smile with my own as I bury my face into his c.h.e.s.t. My first day in this world is already so tiring yet I have expectations for the future. I will not let my existence be a limitation for Tou-san.

I need to get stronger to live.

(A/N:

Eh? Why does the chapter feel shorter than usual? Welp, rejoice, my good friends, this Demon king decided to split it off into two parts! Though the second half is taking a bit longer than usual to edit 😅.

Also an update, I'll try writing 2 chapters a week with about 4000 words each for better spacing instead of putting them together as I've learned that a reader might want to take a break whilst reader or other circ.u.mstances may happen.

Welp, I hope you've enjoyed this chapter, not much happened other than Kage's Pov but I believe it is important in order for my OC's to feel alive. This has been the Demon King's rant, the next chapter should be out later today else tomorrow.)
