I can't tell you guys how sorry I am. I'm not going to lie, I was being lazy. ........BUT before you kill me.......... there was other things too like school, my stress, my separation issues, and research for some of my books. While writing this chapter, I got appendicitis and my appendix ruptured and I had surgery. I was in the hospital for 4 DAYS and I almost missed Christmas. I got out on Christmas eve. I will not be able to run, jump, carry anything heavy until February, it hurts to laugh, cough, hiccup, and sometimes breath.  again sorry for being lazy but I was stuck in writers block..........sorta. I have things that are supposed to happen but I didn't know in which order I wanted them in. thank my sister, Deaddemon101, here on Wattpad and go check out her stories. ^~^

I almost forgot : I can't tell you guys, ( MY AWESOME, AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL READERS), my name but people who don't know me call me Death. on Kik, my name was Death ***** **** ( not telling the rest ) so everytime I was in group chat and someone didn't know me they would see me typing and would say " who's death? " so call me death, anyone who knows my real name ( 6 people in the whole world, only one not being directly related ) refrain from putting my name when you are in the comments and those who know me by name can call me Black Death. 

I almost forgot part 2 : I wanted to tell you guys how I met the love of my life but I don't think you guys would care. please say yes in the comments if you wouldn't mind.

anyhow............ on with the story

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kasai's POV :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat there waiting patiently for Okami and Caster to get back. we all, minus Yukio because he had to grade papers, came back from cram school and Okami ran out and grabbed Caster and ran back into the dorm closed the door.

we all stand there confused until we decided to go check out what's going on. we turn the door knob but its locked. we start to worry and I look back and asked " Does anyone have a spare key? " we usually leave our keys in the dorm because Okami opens the door for us.

well, except she won't open the door for Yukio. she hears the knock and just sits there. It strange though, she actually started talking to him again. I thought she hated him. I'll ask her about that later but back to the situation. " I got one " Zoyiah said from the back.

we made way for her and she took it out and unlocked the door. we all hurried inside. I dashed up the stairs and looked around. I saw a paper stuck to my door and ran to the end of the hall where my room was.

the note said.............. Dear Kasai, I need Caster for the moment, don't worry. my brother called and said he needed me so I needed to teleport. we will be back in a sec. start dinner without us.

I looked at it and my worries washed away. but that was an hour ago. dinner was almost ready and I'm waiting for them. I saw a white light as they teleported back. " hey " I said giving them a smile. " hey. Is dinner done? " Caster asked. of course he was thinking about the food. Grimora does all our food and he loves her cooking.  3 demons in a kitchen turned out better than I thought. " yeah, almost " I replied rolling my eyes. 

" come on " I said dragging them down stairs.

{ time skip brought to you by in elementary school, people called me snow flake }

the table was set and everyone started eating. I got up, not touching my food and went into the kitchen. I grabbed the last plate of food and started going up the stairs. I reached Korosu's room and knocked. I waited 5 seconds before going in.

I walked in and I was as if nothing had changed. the lights were still dim and Amaimon still sat on the same chair, holding her hand. I walked over to him and put his plate of food down. " Amaimon, I know, we all miss her but remember to eat okay " I said walking out the room. I descended the stairs and sat back in my place.

Yukio came in a second later and took off his jacket. I couldn't help but notice the book in his hand. " were you guys waiting for me? " he asked. " nope " Rin said bluntly and we all laughed. he rolled his eyes and gave a playful glare towards Rin and said " well then I just got here at the right time. "

we ate and laughed. I thought I saw Okami and Claude make awkward glances toward each other. everyone eventually finished and Okami and Claude shared one last awkward stare before getting up at the same time.

" we need to tell you guys something " Okami said giving a shy smile. my thoughts were going a mile a minute. all situations swarming in my mind. Are they dating? did they kill someone? are they leaving? " we are, as of now, fake dating " Claude said.

" WHAT?!?! " we all screamed. what is she thinking? Zoyiah stood up, flinging her chair back. " guys I need your support for this to work. I have the most amazing person waiting for me, but I know my parents would never allow it. my sister had the same. she found a guy and when the told my parents that they were engaged, my parents said the words " we would rather you marry anyone else " and she found her beloved ( be- love- ed ) and married. are parents couldn't have a say in who she married anymore. I can get my parents to do the same, so please. you have to make this fake relationship seem as real as possible " Claude said in love and desperation.

the look he gave and the determination, makes him something more. he isn't just a guy or boy anymore, he is a man. If he is willing to fake things and risk everything for the chance to be with the love of his life. " of course " I said breaking the dense and definite silence that befell the room " you would do the same for me. anyone willing to do this for their mate, has my full support. she must mean a lot to you. "

Claude blushed and looked down, his bangs covered his face, but didn't stop me from catching his quick glance to Zoyiah. OH SHIT, THEY'RE MATES! aw, the prince and the body guard. " she means everything to me " he said. everyone nodded agreeing to play along to this façade........except Zoyiah.

she head was down and I couldn't see her face. " Zoyiah, are you okay? " I asked and she just nodded not trusting her voice, but she couldn't stay unseen for long because I didn't miss that drop of water descend from her face to the floor. " I'm sorry I have to go " she said running out the door. 

he looked so sad and desperate. he feels like his mate rejected him, I would know because I use to have the same look on my face. he took a step towards the direction in which she ran and I put my hand up. " I've got it, I know what you feel and I can help her. I'm going to talk to her like I wish someone would've talked to me, help her like I wish someone would've helped me " I said running after her.

I made it outside and I see scorch marks on the ground, those left by fire. I follow it to the forest line where I was stopped by the smell of smoke. the smell of smoke never hurt me because I was a fire tamer. I continued to walk following the scorch marks.

as I continued the smell of smoke got stronger, until I reached a fallen tree. the tree was on fire and I dwindled it to nothing. as I continued the broken and burned and still raged fire trees increasing and I continued to dwindle them to nothing as I walked.

I finally made it to the lake and I stopped. there she was............ well not exactly. she was in Kitsune form and her fire was gone meaning she took a ' swim ' in the lake to ' cool off '. as a fire tamer I was granted the ability to take to all beasts. almost anything Dragons could do, I could as well. Dragons could speak every language and talk to all animals, a gift that I got as well. not all fire tamers can get gifts.

all get fire control, but some get to talk to beast and some can fly and some can transform into them. " you know, I'm here to talk to you, so talk, explode, flood me with your concerns and insecurities " I said sitting down in front of her.

 I-I don't know what to think about all of this  she said. " be happy, he is willing to do anything to be with you " I said petting her head. I know but what if it all goes wrong she said worried. " what could go wrong? " I asked. he could fall for her, he could end up marrying her, we can be forbidden from seeing each other, I could get executed- she was spilling before I cut her off.

" Okami is going through a bit of a rough patch and I don't think she would fall for him and if everything goes as plan than you guys can be together " I said getting up and laying in her paw. powerful kitsunes are huge. their every legs can be 6 feet tall. they can shrink but what's the fun in that. but what if it doesn't, but what if- she continued to worry before I cut her off again.

" there it is the ' but what if ', you're worrying about things that don't have to happen. look I'm not saying those things can't happen, I'm saying he loves you too much to let anything bad happen to you, so no more buts " I said. sometimes I worry that I can't protect him she said sad. I chuckled " my dad always told me that fire elementals have the ability to destroy and make but its up to us to choose whether to burn the world in flames or to protect them with our raging fires " I said smiling remembering when he told me.

that's beautiful  she said. my mind went back to the look he gave when he ran away. " you hurt him you know " I said sighing. what!!! she said worried. " when you ran he felt rejected, I can't shake the look of sadness and desperation, the desperation to have you understand and to make you happy. I use to wear the same face  " I said. 

  I didn't mean to hurt him  she chocked out. " I know, so go after him, tell him you love him, tell him its okay " I said. okay  she said lighting up in flames and getting up, her flames not effecting me. I got up and jumped creating a raging flame under my shoes.

I put my hands behind my back and propelled myself higher.  I flew over the trees and spotted Zoyiah running towards the dorms. I flew over there as fast as I could and looked into his open window and saw him with his back towards me, talking to Okami.

I grabbed him by his vest and pulled him and his sad tear faced self out the window. Okami stared at me in shock, " I'm going to borrow him for a minute " I said putting us on the ground. by then I could see her coming closer and I looked over at Claude and his awe-struck face.

she made it out of the woods and ran right for Claude her flames brightening. " Kasaiiiiii " he said worried about the fire. I dwindled her fire to nothing as she shrinked herself down to his height. he held his arms out for her and she lunged for him.

she transformed mid-jump and gave him a hug. she was hugging him and she whispered in his ear. they pulled back and he took a second to realize that she was naked and got a nosebleed. it wasn't even 10 seconds before he fainted.

I took a second to chuckle, but it turned into a full blown laugh. the good thing was he was unconscious, but he was smiling. " let's get you dressed " I said breathless from laughing.  I surrounded her private parts with fire and we started walking through the dorm. " what about Claude? " she asked.

"  Okami's got it, she can carry a guy twice his size and weight " I said. " about Okami....... do you think that she can have any feelings for him? " she asked worried and nervous. " no, she has had 2 brothers, one older and the other younger. she will always see him as a little brother. she has a natural protectiveness for her younger brother, like a mom " I said.

Rin opened his door with a towel to, in my guess, take a shower. she looked at me then Zoyiah and got massive nose bleed. we both looked at each other and started laughing. I got Zoyiah back to her room.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I got scared. when I feel frightened, my body lights fire. "ah " I heard and turn to see Yukio holding his now burned hand. " oh my gosh Yukio I'm so sorry. you scared me and my body reacted by lighting. crap I'm sorry " I said.

 " what happened and why does my hand hurt " Okami said coming out of her room. " sorry, he scared me and I accidently burned him " I said laughing nervously. " okay and Yukio come here " she said waving him over.

she put some aloe on his and wrapped it. she smiled and gave his hand a squeeze " don't get burned again, it hurts me too, jerk " she said giving him a playful shove and shutting the door. he just stood there in a daze. I walked up to him and saw he just took there frozen and blushing. I put my hand on his shoulders and started shaking him.

" Yukio, snap out of it " I said. and he blinked a few times ad shook his head smiling. " what did you want to tell me? " I asked. " oh, I figured it out. get everyone to Korosu's room " Yukio said going into his room.

okay then. I ran through the hall drumming on everyone's door " everyone report to Korosu's room " I screamed. I went to Korosu's room and knocked and then opened the door immediately. " Amaimon, everyone is coming in so animal mode and fake sleep " I said and he waved me off meaning he heard me.

I ran downstairs and pushed the door open to the guys showers. big mistake. Rin just finished pulling on his boxers when I opened the door. I blushed hard and turned around. " I'm so sorry Rin, but Yukio need everyone upstairs, its about Korosu " I said shielding my eyes. 

I heard rustling of clothes and then he grabbed my hand and we both rushed up the stairs. Korosu's room door was already opened and we both rushed in. " Okay now that everyone is here, I have something to say. bad news I'm afraid " Yukio said.

" Korosu is in even worse condition than I feared.  she is in a coma state called unconscious self repairment. this means that her brain is inactive, but her body still repairs itself. the problem is that her body is fully repaired. she should be awake by now, but because she is not then she is going through something rare, that only happens to supernatural beings, called rejection and confusion of repaired healing. this means that even though her body is healed the healing process refuses to except the idea that she is fully capable of waking up and so it continues to drag energy from her body to repair it, but because she is already repaired, it is a never ending cycle of unnecessary energy use. the worse part is that if she doesn't wake then she cannot eat and which become energy and because of this................. her body will eventually run out of energy and.......if it does ...... then ............... she'll die. if she flatlines then there isn't anything that can be done. I'm so sorry. " he said breaking into tears. ( not real medical conditions ) 

she's gonna die. I took a second to let it set in. she's going to die. she is going to die. she is going to die. she is going to die. no matter how many times I thought about it didn't seem real. it didn't feel real. she is going to die. she is going to die. she is going to die. as in heart stops beating and her breathing ceases.

my brain finally realized that this was real. that she could  and is  dying. I felt a tears slip out of my eye before the flood came. I kept trying to wipe them away, but like a flood, it wasn't enough. " Isn't there anything you can do, your supposed to be a doctor, your supposed to save lives. PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN SAVE HER, PLEASE!!!!!! " I screamed.

" I'm sorry. I'm so sorry " he kept repeating holding his head like he was trying to keep his sanity but I also realized that he was crying. we all were. even though I didn't know her for as long as I wished I could have, she was amazing. she was so positive and had such an interesting idea on life, but from what she told me, her life barely begun, and..... now I guess it never will.

this is Rin's fault. if only he didn't wake her up, then this wouldn't be happening. I lunged at Rin and tackled him to the floor. I tried to hit him, but he caught my wrist and I tried with the other and he caught that one too.

" THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. IF YOU DIDN'T FALL FOR HER AND THINK THAT YOU BELONGED WITH HER THAN NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED. YOU JUST HAD TO KISS HER, DIDN'T YOU? YOU HAD TO CHOSE THE GIRL THAT YOU COULDN'T HAVE, RIGHT? IT HAD TO BE YOUR INVISABLE MATE'S SISTER. YOU JUST CHOSE THE GIRL YOU WANTED INSTEAD OF THE PERSON THAT WAS MADE FOR YOU? YOU CHOSE HER BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE BETTER THAN AMAIMON? YOU CHOSE HER BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE BETTER, RIGHT? YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THE STONGEST, RIGHT? YOU COULDN'T LOVE ME, WAS THAT IT? YOU COULDN'T LOVE ME BECAUSE I WASN'T HER? I WASN'T ENOUGH, I WASN'T WHAT YOU WANTED? WHY AMN'T I ENOUGH FOR YOU, WHY ? WHY CAN'T YOU LOVE ME, LIKE I LOVE YOU? " I suddenly lite my wrist and burn his hands.

I was about to punch him but someone grabbed me. I lit my body but the person remained unaffected as it dragged me out of the room. they pulled me into my room and locked the door. I threw a harsh glare at Okami and Zoyiah before faltering and finally breaking down. 

" why doesn't he love me? what's wrong with me? " I said crying into my hands. " Kasai there isn't anything wrong with you " Okami said. " then what did I do wrong? he wouldn't even glance at my direction if I didn't confront him. he is only with be because he feels bad that he couldn't even remember my name " I said.

" all I am is pity. that's all he feels for me. the girl that was cursed for 15 years. pity. the girl who was invisible. pity. the girl who was alone because he took it upon himself to decide that he could protect Korosu, when she clearly saved everyone herself. pity. the girl he couldn't find in himself to love because he chose her sister instead. pity " I said.

" you burned him you know " Zoyiah said. I looked down at my red hands. I can't get burned because I don't feel it........... but Rin felt it. Rin can burn. I felt guilt start in the pit of my stomach. I hurt Rin. " you guys need to talk this out, we can't answer his questions for him " Okami said.

{ time skip brought to you by, I'm a huge immortal instrument fan, SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE MALEC SHIPPERS }

there we where. me and Rin are in chairs in front of each other, neither looking each other in the eye. Okami, Zoyiah, and Yukio blocking the exits. I spoke up first " sorry, I burned your hands " I said. " its okay, I deserved it " he said.

" Its not okay, I hurt you. that's not what a mate is supposed to do " I said. the was a dull silence that broke when he uttered his words." I heard you know " he said. I stopped at that. he heard me.

" I was an Idiot, you were right. I don't have the right to change fate or to decide who gets to love who. its because you weren't her, that everything become clear me. its because she was so beautiful and so nice that I fell for her, but that isn't what I need. it took me so long to realize that all of that meant nothing if it wasn't you. when you confronted me, I wasn't with you out of pity. It was out of sadness because I left you alone when all you wanted was me there for you, for me to open my eyes. I'm sorry that you're stuck with someone so dumb as to not see that someone so amazing was standing right in front of them. you were right, I wasn't there for you and yes I was blind to not see you but don't ever think you're not enough. I don't deserve you, I'm not worth my  whole world, you deserve someone as amazing, but what I feel in here  is, was, and still not pity. It is love for the person standing in front of me and I may not deserve you but I will use everyday to be better so that I'll be good enough for your love one day " he said taking my hand and putting it over his heart when he said here.

I started to cry and I held him close to me. I held him like I would never let go, and that's exactly what my heart did.

{ time skip brought to you by I cried 4 times writing this chapter }

I wake up in an unknown fire, and unknown warmth. I turned to see Rin. his hands were wrapped around my waist and I just stared at him for a while. he looks so peaceful asleep. he opened his eyes and he smiled down at me. Its amazing that his smile can still send butterflies to my stomach.

I want to wake up like this everyday. I tried to get up but Rin kept pulling me back down. " Rin! we have school, baka!"I said to him. " I don't want to leave, I want to spend all day with you " he said. " maybe we can have a date today then? " I said.

" okay " he said sleepily letting me go. I looked back and turned back around blushing. " before you leave fix your problem " I said. I turned and saw his shocked expression and his hard blush at my mention of his morning wood.

I turn to close the door and I closed it until there was a little crack in the door and whispered " baka " then completely shut the door.

{ 2 weeks later }

 I came in late because a teacher asked me for help. I walk in and see Doku openly flirting with Rin and Rin sitting there ( like the baka he is ) not knowing what's happening. " Hey Rin " I yelled hoping he could hear me over the annoying language of bad/ super obvious flirting.

Izumo can see the mate bond from a mile away and demons have amazing sense of smell. my scent has been mixed since the day I was born, they should've already known that I was Rin's mate.  this means that they are doing all of this on purpose and I will end their lives if necessary.

" Hey Kasai! " he said with the face of save me! " hey girls, can I talk to you outside please? " I said with such fake kindness, Rin noticed. they shared a glace, like saying ' are we really going ' and Doku started walking signaling her two sisters to follow. 

I started on my way out as well. before I finished closing the door, I looked back at Rin and he mouthed ' what was that about. ' and I put my pointer finger up to my mouth as to say,' it's a secret. ' I closed the door and I became serious in 0.25 milliseconds.

" what do you want? " Doku said glaring lightly trying to hide the aggravation in her voice that I ended up hearing anyway.  " oh, she talks!! " I stated sarcastically. " look you can drop the act " I said sighing. 

" I don't know as to what you are referring " she said with high confidence, if only I didn't know she was such a conniving snake. " he isn't as dumb as you think he is and neither am I " I said. " you sure " she said dropping the act for a mere second.

bad move because when she did, her eyes flashed her demon color, bright blue, almost white. " more than I'm sure what you're here for " I said glaring back. " now, now, how could a girl who couldn't even recognize me as a demon figure out my plan " she said all confident.

" because not being a conniving snake comes in handy " I insulted her. " being smart does too " I said smiling smugly. " what makes you think you can out smart me? " she laughed. " the fact that I have to keep repeating the same thing, over and over. I know your plan " I said getting tired of them already. 

" stop beating around the bush, how annoying " she said getting bored. " I'm bored of you too " I said sighing. " as a demon you have an amazing sense of smell, you should know me and Rin are mates " I said.

" and what if I do? Its not like its a big deal, he doesn't even know how rare it is. rejection is an easy fix to this small problem " she said smiling. " here is the thing, he means the world to me. I mean the world to him. the mate bond is something beyond your control, something bigger than all of us, you underestimate its power, its meaning, and its ability to bring and keep people together. you insult the bond and its not just something you can kill or step on. its not a roach, its love. by the way you talk about it then you don't know what love is " I said.

she laughed. " love is nothing but a idea, a fantasy, a dream, I woke up " she said.  she thinks that love doesn't exist. she is willing to go against one of the strongest things in the world and doesn't expect consequences. I wouldn't give up Rin for anything in the world. I won't let her succeed, even if it cost me my life.

" stay away from Rin, I don't want you flirting with him and I don't want you touching him. I will not struggle to protect those I love and if you choose to go against my request " I took I second to pause and look Doku dead in the eye, " I will kill you. " I walked back into class, leaving the 3 stunned sisters in the hall.

{ 1 week later } { time skip brought to you by I got a pixie cut!!!!! I look 21 }

I walked down the halls of True cross when I spotted Rin. I was about to walk up to him but I saw something. I hid behind a corner and tried to see who he was with. I saw black hair and realized it was Doku.

I warned her. I was too far to listen in but I could still see them. he looked nervous like he was in an awkward situation. he was smiling with his eyes closed and rubbing the back of his neck. the same thing he does when he is confused and has the I-don't-know-what's-going-on face.

Rin might not be the smartest person in the world but that's what I love about him.  I was snapped back to reality by the most obnoxiously loud laugh. I looked back and she was laughing while touching Rin's arm.

he backed up and her arm fell back down to her side. she touched him! I warned her! she isn't allowed to touch him. I felt a tap on my shoulder and swung my head around, plotting the murder of this lower demon.

I saw Izumo and jumped. since when does she talk to me......... or anyone? " calm down, you're on fire " she said. I looked down and my hands were on fire. crap!!

I extinguished it fast before any bystander could notice. I looked back and saw Izumo walking away. " hey Izumo " I yelled. she looked back at me and crossed her arms. " thank you " I said and smiled and she was taken aback but smirked.

I will have to talk to them face to face. no more hiding. I want them out of my life. I trust the power of the mating bond but I can't trust the magic of those demons. I don't know the power of the magic they possess.

I haven't been on a mission yet so I don't know how good I am at expelling demons, but this is for Rin. this is for something that means the world . I say that a lot but he just means so much. nothing can compare to how much he is worth or means but the entire world.

I walked into class and couldn't help it when my eye twitched because of the familiar obnoxiously loud laughter. I looked over to see Doku sitting on Rin's desk. I felt anger serge me as I glared at them trying to burn holes into their heads. ( is it funny that the Kage sisters are suppose to be serious and intimidating but sometimes when I think about them, I think about the I love Yuki fan club from fruits basket )  

no one has noticed me yet. I left the class and went to the other door on the other side of the room (don't look at your screen like that, if you've seen anime you know what I mean ). I was slowly walking towards Rin's desk so they wouldn't notice me.

" Rin your so funny, but I wanted to ask you if maybe we could catch a movie or something " she said giving a wink. he started to rub the back of his neck and looked up. " like a group, friend thing " he said in a hopeful voice.

" no like a date kind of thing " she said twirling a lock of her hair. " oh " he said blushing. " sorry, I'm already dating someone, I haven't asked her to be my girlfriend yet but in my heart I know that we will go far. like the love we have for each other is eternal. I know its stupid to plan a future I have no control over but something tells me that its okay, that she loves me a lot and I don't want to mess up like I did back then. I don't want to hurt her like I did ever again. I'm sorry Doku but she might not be mine yet but I won't give up on her " he said bashfully.

" she loves you a lot and she wants to be, not just your girlfriend, but your eternal love too " I said sneaking up behind him. I hugged him from behind and cried tears of joy on his shoulder. " K-K-Kasai!?!? " he stuttered.

" I wanted to tell you - " he started then I cut him off " now you don't have to " I said. I wiped my eyes and swiftly moved my body. I jumped on his lap and put his forehead to meet mine. " I love you " I said looking into his eyes.

" I love you too " he said. I stopped and remembered that the Kage sister where still there. " Doku, I'll be talking to you after class " I said glaring daggers at her.

{ time skip brought to you by hospital time is slower than real time }

" Doku I told you that I didn't want you touching him or flirting with him, but you ignored my warning and now you were humiliated and I'm going to send you back to Gehenna " I said shaking my head. " you can't choose when I go back and I'm not leaving until I get what I want " Doku said.

I pulled out a map and threw it at her. she caught it and looked at it. " what is this? " she asked. " its a map, I have after school class to wait for me there and we will discuss your leave like mature people " I said. 

Doku looked at her sisters and smiled. " fine " was all she said before she turned around and left. I started to walk away too but I felt a familiar tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw that it was Izumo again. she is everywhere today.

" don't do anything drastic. think about what you're doing " she said. " I know what I'm doing. I'll be fine Izumo " I said. " they are dangerous and I think it would be safer to have back up " she said crossing her arms.

" Izumo, I don't need back up. It means a lot that you want them gone too but I need to protect Rin. If I can't do that, what kind of a mate am I? " I asked. " I just..... I just don't want to lose anyone else to demons " she said.

" Izumo, I need to do this myself " I said walking away.

{ mini time skip brought to you by my dog stepped on my stomach, SO MUCH PAIN }

I walked into the woods and walked the path that I remembered days ago. the Kage sisters should be here. they should be here way before me considering I had after school class and they didn't. when I got there, there was a table and tea set for me.

" how proper " I said sitting down. I looked at them and took a sip of my tea. " I know you want to use Rin for his theoretical power in Gehenna but as you can see, you're going nowhere and as his mate, I want you out of our lives " I said and sipped my tea again.

" look here mortal, I won't leave without a ring around my finger and a new power over Gehenna " she said. she thinks I'm mortal? " it doesn't matter what you say anyway " she said smiling.

" now why would you say that? " I asked. " because the mate bond will be broken shortly " she said laughing. " I still don't understand " I said keeping my composer even though inside I was afraid. what magic did she do? how could she brake one of the strongest things in the world.

" you're tea is poisoned " she said letting her demon show. the second her sentence left her mouth, I dropped my tea. SHE POISONED ME!! I felt the poison start to take effect and I felt it in my body. I could feel it draining my energy.

" you stupid mortal, you thought I would let you live. I knew from the second you entered the class, I needed to get rid of you. the poison is impossible to get rid of, it runs right into your blood veins " she said her voice changing as she let her demon self talk.

I stopped it her words. its in my blood! ITS IN MY BLOOD! to anyone or thing this would be bad but I'm a fire tamer. even my insides are fire proof. I dragged myself to the closest tree and used it to help me get up.

I got up and they looked back at me. " you're dumber than you think. the universe wouldn't put me with Rin if I wasn't able to protect him. fun fact, I was cursed in a tree for 16 years. poison will kill a tree but not a phoenix " I said bursting on fire.

I let my veins bubble with the heat of the fire. " I'm a fire tamer, I can burn the poison out of my blood " I said as I felt the poison start to evaporate. I saw the poison evaporate in a purple cloud. " I was willing to let you leave in peace but I guess I will have to exorcise you now " I said surrounding them in fire.

" YOU DAMN EXORCIST! " she screamed. I closed the fire in and got ready. I've practiced most of my life for this. " HOLY FIRE " I screamed as my fire turned white for purity.

when I was little, mom said that ,because of what she was, one day I would be able to use holy fire. also known as purity fire. it was a gift. most fire tamers can't make anything but regular fire but we can control others.

because my mother use to be an angel, I had the power to use holy fire to kill demons for my safety. only problem is that it uses so much energy from my body. because of the poison my body energy was very low.

I was able to keep consciousness long enough to see them burn and disappear. I saw my class flood the area and more exorcist flood in ready to fight. I was on the edge of the darkness. I saw Rin run towards me as I fell into it.

{ time skip brought to you by I was re-reading this book and I wanted to be swallowed by the ground, it was confusing and weird and really fast and I want to thank anyone who has read this book from the start to now }

I woke up in my bed and looked around. before I could even look at the right side of the room, Rin almost tackled me off the bed. " RIN!! she hasn't fully recovered yet, don't tackle her " Yukio yelled at Rin.

" I thought I was going to lose you. today I was able to say I love you and you almost die on me. do you know how worried I was? " he asked crying. I held him close.

" because of that, I knew I couldn't die today but I had to kill them. they were after your title and they would do anything to get it. they threatened my love and I didn't struggle to protect you and what we have, even if we don't have much yet, I feel my love for you is also eternal and they threatened to get in the way of that. I couldn't lose you again. I'm sorry " I said.

" you used something the Vatican has been trying to get their hands on for years! how did you find holy fire? " Yukio asked. " my mother was a fallen guardian angel, as a fire tamer I was given the gift to be able to use holy fire. also known as white fire and purity fire. I didn't find it, I made it " I said.

" It takes up a lot of body energy, they poisoned me and I evaporated it out of my blood. it did seriously weaken me though and my body passed out from lack of energy. Holy fire isn't just something I will give up to the Vatican. sorry Yukio, it was a precious gift from God and I don't want it in anyone else's hands, please try to understand " I said.

" I understand and gifts from God is not something I can mess with. I will inform the Vatican and by the laws they can not harm you or take it from you. I will try to make you a flame thrower for your holy fire but they will question you later. you have to rest know, we will leave you alone " Yukio said walking tot the door.

" thanks Yukio " I said smiling. Rin started getting up but I grabbed his wrist. " Please stay " I said. " always " he said as he scooted into bed. I let the darkness consume me and was preparing myself for the life to come.
