OK so this is the new version of Flaming Silhouettes. I hope you all like it! A reason for this story is that I've seen there is a lack of blind people stories in this fandom, so here this is! :D

Also this still has my fatherly Satan as well as my demon kings if any of you are familiar with them.

I don't own BE/ANE

onto the chapter!

Rin shouted out as he was pushed to the ground and held down. He struggled to get out of their grip but they just wouldn't budge. His gaze went back to Shiratori. There was something wrong with him! And why the hell didn't any of the others see this?!

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I'm going to give you back twice the pain you caused me!" Shiratori said as he grabbed a burning metal rod from a fire filled can. Rin's eyes widened with fear as he fought even harder to free himself from their grasp, sadly still unsuccessful.

"Hey, come on Shiratori, we don't want t-" One of the guys tried to speak up only for their leader to kick him in the face.

"Shut up!" The Shiratori knelt down and gripped Rin's hard and yanked his head up to face him. "Now, where would you like me to burn you? Your nose? Your mouth? Or perhaps your eyes?!" With that he began to bring the bar closer to Rin's face as he laughed. For a single moment, the other seemed to freeze and hesitate in his actions, but it was barely even a second.

'He's really going to do it!" Rin thought with panic. "Stop it!" He screamed but no one listened. For a moment, Rin swore there was a flicker of blue upon his skin but it was gone once he looked at it.

"A human barbecue!" Shiratori laughed as the bar was an inch from his eyes. He was trembling, having difficulty in holding the bar, but Rin could only assume the psycho was trembling with anticipation.

"STOP IT!" Rin once again screamed and again he saw the flicker of blue. But as soon as he moved his eyes to see it, the flaming bar touched them. Instantly, the pain hit him. He screamed as his eyes were burned and scarred. He prayed for anything to make it stop as it was all he could feel. He could barely hear anything over the sound of his blood curdling screams.

And then suddenly, he felt a rush of warmth envelop him. It was nothing compared to the intense pain from him eyes but it felt protective and even helped him relax to an extent. He lay upon the ground whimpering and moaning in pain as he felt the heat seem to gather upon him eyes as though trying to heal the wounds there. And for a second he believed he could see a small light of blue through his eyelids but he didn't focus much on it, couldn't focus on it. Not with the pain he was feeling.

"Damn it!" He felt a clawed hand upon his arm and he flinched at the contact. "I apologize you had to go through this young prince I didn't think his anger would be so strong! My name is Astaroth, your brother, and I simply wanted to prove it was you. But don't worry, I shall take you home to Gehenna and Lord Satan, our father, shall heal you." There was a growl in his voice Rin couldn't place, but he really couldn't focus with all the pain. Rin wanted to question what he was talking about, to object when he those clawed hands bring him into a firm chest, but all he could let out was a weak moan.

"It is alright little brother. Our father will help you."

"Evil is in their hearts," A familiar voice spoke. Astaroth, who was currently holding Rin in his arms, growled at the sight of Shiro as he walked toward them, lowering Rin back to the ground as he glared at the man who continued the passage. "Oh Lord, give to them according to their works and the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands, render onto them their reward. Thout shall destroy them and thout shall not build them up!"

Astaroth growled at Shiro. "Curse those words. Damn you exorcist!"

Shiro only gave the demon a smile. "Blessed be the Lord."

"I'll rip that fucking mouth of yours apart so you can never utter such filth again!" With that Astaroth began rushing at Shiro, prepared to strike him down.

"You have heard my sublication." Shiro continued, just standing there as the demon rushed at him. "The Lord is my helper." He grabbed the arm that slashed at him. "And my protector," He flipped the demon over. "Thout shalt perish!" With that he aimed his hand at the body and the demon flew from the teen's mouth.

Shiro let the body drop to the ground before he turned to the other teen on the ground, the reason he was here. He rushed to Rin's side and grimaced when he turned him to look at him face. All around his eyes was burnt skin that bled and blistered. He could catch red beneath the black crusted lids and it made him frown deeper.

"Rin." He called, lightly tapping the teen's cheek. "Rin can you hear me? I'm going to get you home."

Rin let out a rough sounding moan as he tried and failed to open his eyes. "O-Old…m-m-an?" He croaked out from his throat that was sore from screaming.

"Sh…it's going to be alright Rin." Shiro hushed, placing his hands beneath Rin and lifting him into his arms, Rin letting out a soft cry as this happened.

"W-What…what's going…on?" Rin let out with a moan, his hands curling into Shiro's jacket in a wrinkling grip. Shiro's heart wept at the sound of Rin's moan. The pain that laced his voice was much different from anything he had heard before.

"Hush, don't worry about that right now." Shiro said as he began to leave the alley, subtly quickening his pace as he moved through the streets. Rin was silent in his arms, save for his sharp intakes of breath at times. Shiro knew he needed to get home quickly if he was going to help Rin as well as defend against the demons he knew were seeking their "prince".

When he made it to the monastery, he directed the other priests to barricade the doors and to call Yukio while he cared to Rin, not pausing for a second even as they had each asked what happened.

Shiro cared for Rin's wounds, grimacing even more at any discomfort he caused him. When that was done, he laid Rin within his room while he opened up the passage way beneath the altar. Heading down it, he opened up the chest within it and stared down at the sword within. He could clearly see how much the locked up flames had broken past the seal, and he knew he needed to get both Rin and the sword to safety. Outside, he could hear the demons trying to break through the barrier to reach Rin.

With quick steps, Shiro was back within his room, placing the sword near Rin as he took out his phone. He pressed the number of the contact within it and held it up to his ear.

Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring…Ring…I apologize but I'm n-

Shiro scowled at the phone in his hand as he stopped the call. "Damn it Mephisto." He hissed beneath his breath.

"…Dad?"

Shiro's breath caught at the raspy voice that called to him with a name he hasn't heard in years. He turned and swiftly moved over to the bed, placing a hand on Rin's shoulder and on top of the hand that was clenching and unclenching the sheets.

"I'm right here Rin." Shiro said, but he would admit, he was surprised Rin was already awake.

"W-What's happening?" RIn asked once more, his head tilting slightly in the direction of Shiro's voice.

Shiro bit his lip, deciding whether or not he should tell Rin all that was happening. However, it seemed Rin could sense his turmoil because he suddenly growled out in the strongest voice he could muster at the moment.

"D-Don't hide…anything from m-me…old man." At the name Shiro cracked a small smile before it vanished with the sigh he let out.

"There is no simple way to put this Rin," He said, his hand gripping Rin's tighter. "But…there are demons coming after you, coming to grab you and pull you down into their world, Gehenna-this world's mirror world, which is known as Assiah."

Rin let out a short laugh. "D-Don't mess with m-"

"I'm not kidding around Rin." From his tone of voice, Rin quieted, learning this was not a joking matter. It was silent for a few moments before RIn choked up.

"W-Why? Why…are they aft-er me?"

Shiro swallowed. "It is because of your bloodline, your true father that they seek you out." Shiro took a deep breath and kept Rin from speaking as he finally let out the secret he had been keeping for all these years. "Rin…your father is the demon of all demons. You…are the son of Satan."

It was silent, one would hear a pin drop if the noise outside did not fill the still air. After a few moments, Rin spoke up, his bound eyes tilting up in an attempt to stare at Shiro, who could only guess that if this had not happen, those eyes would be large and swimming with emotions.

"Y-You kidding…right?" Rin choked out, not wanting to believe that he was truly a demon child after all. "This is all one big joke!"

"It is no joke Rin." Shiro once again forced. "It is the truth, the only reason why you are not a demon, not dead, is because I wanted to raise you as a normal human. To do so, your demon half was locked within the Koma Sword, this one right here." With that he moved the sword so Rin's hands could brush against it, to feel the reality of the situation. "As long as it stays sealed, you'll remain human."

As for Rin, he knew no matter how much he denied it, the proof was all right here. It could explain his inhuman strength and the sword that now rested in his hands. That weird teen and creatures he saw, and perhaps even those blue flames that the man-demon?-had mentioned, that flash of blue he had seen within the darkness of his vision. However, if he was a demon, what about-

"Yukio?"

"Completely human." Shiro answered. "Only you took on Satan's powers." Then he took another pause before continuing. "And now, I must get you to a safe place, before any of the demons get to you. I tried calling my friend how could help you, but he wasn't answering. For now, I suppose you need to rest while I'll get you're things packed and ready for the time you have to go. How quickly it will come, I cannot say, but you need to be ready."

"So you're just going to get rid of me now that I'm a big enough problem?" Rin choked out making Shiro stare at him in shock. "Well, fine! I don't need you to baby me! I-!"

"Rin stop it!" Shiro exclaimed grabbing the boy's arms, cutting him off. "I'm not getting rid of you!" He sighed, his grip loosening on the other. "I'm just trying to keep you safe. I'm not going to leave you Rin, especially now! What do you take me for, a heartless old man?!" That got a small smile from Rin.

They jumped when an agonizing scream filled the building and Shiro turned to see one of the other exorcists fall to the ground unconscious while another started to burn in blue flames.

"No!" Shiro gasped at the sight as the flames vanished before appearing once more around another one of the men.

"W-What the hell is happening?!" Rin exclaimed, his covered eyes trying to pinpoint the sources while at the same time not wanting to hear the pained screams anymore.

"I have to get you away from here!" Shiro replied, turning to Rin. He forced the sword into the teen's hands and went to pick him up when Rin suddenly clutched his ears and screamed. He could hear so many different twisted voices calling to him, however, one stuck out among the others. This one was deep and was trying to dig deep into his mind as if trying to find a way to communicate with him.

Shiro had jumped when Rin began screaming, face scrunching up beneath the gauze. His heart broke for the teen and he truly felt fear for Rin after all these years, fear he wouldn't be able to keep him from the demons. And, even though he kept it down, kept the fear from showing as he called to the boy curled up on the bed so he could fight to keep him safe…it was still enough. The fear was pure enough for it to be used.

And that's what happened.

"Rin! Rin what is it?! Tel-" Shiro cut off, words caught in his throat and his eyes grew wide. For Rin, that distinctive voice stopped and he was able to focus on the sudden silence from Shiro.

"Wha-" His covered eyes searched for Shiro and he called out only to get a choked reply.

"G-Get out of here Rin!" Shiro exclaimed as he stumbled backwards, away from the teen as he continued to try and fight off the powerful demon aiming to possess him.

"O-Old man?" Rin called out with a shaky voice.

"R-Rin get-" He was cut off once more and for a moment it was quiet before laughter filled the air.

"Oh it's so nice to finally get to meet you!" An insane voice rang out from Shiro's body as his form took on a demonic one. His voice changed to caring for a moment, "I've missed you, and so have your brothers. But-" It suddenly changed to insane once more. "You wouldn't listen to me when I tried to contact you!"

"W-Who-" Rin asked as he tried to scramble out of the bed, blindly searching for a way to avoid the heat that radiated from the spot before him.

"You haven't guess?!" Another laugh. "It's me, your real papa, Satan!" He began to walk forward and Rin could feel he was closer than he was before, whateve was making that heat coming right in front of him.

"Oh! My son, what happened to your eyes?" Was the concern he heard for a moment in the King of Demon's voice? Why? He didn't get to dwell on it as it was gone with an insane laugh. "What? You burn yourself on your flames?! KAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Stay away from me!" Rin cried. At that moment, he felt a familiar heat rush over his skin and he once again saw a flash of blue across his vision, which lingered longer than before.

"What did you just piss your pants are something?" Satan laughed before suddenly stopping his voice dropping to a serious tone, one that wasn't as insane and almost seemed normal. "It seems we're running out of time, this body is decaying quickly." Rin heard a crunch and snap of a bone braking and then something-blood he had to guess-splattering on the floor. Then there was a shifting and a foul stench filled the air.

'What is that?' Rin thought, his hand going up to block his nose.

Almost as if his thoughts had been spoken out loud, Satan spoke. "The Gehenna Gate, the gateway between Assiah and Gehenna." Suddenly a clawed hand that used to be comforting curled around his arm and began pulling him toward what he guessed was the gate. "Come, it's time to finally get your demon powers back!"

"Let me go!" Rin cried struggling in the grip as he reached out to try and grab anything that could keep him from the gate. He felt his hand circle around something hard, but it only came with him. He suddenly felt himself being tossed through the air and land in something that felt disgusting-something that he could only guess is the Gehenna Gate. What felt like bubbly heads made of oil and slime grip onto his body and begin to cover him. He shifted and struggled within them, trying to fight and free himself.

"You'll finally come to your true home and become what you were meant to be!" Satan exclaimed somewhere behind him. "My son is final-" His rant was suddenly cut off by a voice Rin thought he would never hear again.

"No," Shiro's voice came out. He heard something like a neckless move before a grunt pierced the air. "No, this is my son, and I'm taking him back." Rin could hear him cough and something splatter on the ground causing a feeling a dread to fill him.

"Damn you exorcists." Satan hissed out and it was at that moment, Shiro's body fell forward and into the Gehenna Gate. Rin heard the sound as he fell into the gate, his ears instantly trying to pinpoint the sound. He scrambled through the substance that made up the gate his hands reaching around for anything to grab.

Then he felt something, two somethings to be exact. As he had moved through the gate, he felt a familiar sword half sunken within the goo. The other thing he felt was what he dreaded, the still body of Shiro Fujimoto. As his hands met the body, he could feel the sticky substance of both the gate and what could only be blood.

"Old man? Old man come on! Wake up!" Rin called to him, shaking him but with no effect. "Dad!" He could feel the tears wanting to form in his eyes alongside the lump in his throat but he swallowed it down. "Hold on! Just hold on, Dad!"

With that Rin reached out again, searching for the sword. When he felt it, he curled his hand around the sheath while his other moved down the length of it to grip the hilt. It was for only a breath that he hesitated, knowing that if he did this, he would no longer keep the demon side locked away, just as Shiro had told him. But, he knew it was the only chance he had at saving both himself and Shiro.

Gritting his teeth, he pulled the hilt outward and he was instantly hit with the effects as he swung it at the gate beneath him. As his arms moved, he felt the flames wash over his body in full force, but the heat that fell over him was warm and comforting. He could feel a shifting to his body, feathers forming or growing that were not that of a humans. He could also feel the flames gathering both within his sword as it struck the gate and near his eyes, swirling and moving over them in a fashion that reminded him of a healing lotion or water.

Then he was sheathing the sword and the floor had returned beneath him. The cloth that bound his eyes still helped keep his eyes in the darkness that had become his world, but he also felt no more crusted blood or burnt skin beneath it. He also knew there were changes to his body, but all those thoughts went away when one of his hands moved from the sword to the body that lay next to him.

"Dad?" He called out quietly.

Silence.

He tried to listen for any breathing, but his was hard to hear past his own ragged and quick ones. He let his hands move across the body, almost gagging when he felt the bloody cover his own hands. He thought he could feel a heartbeat, but he could be sorely mistaken for his own frantic heart. A sob broke past his lips as he thought about the fact that Shiro may be dead because he wanted to protect Rin. Rin prayed and begged for him to not be dead, tears falling from beneath the soiled gauze and onto Shiro's still body and Rin's grasping hands.

He didn't care about the sounds of footsteps he could hear through his newly enhanced hearing. He didn't care if anyone would hear or see him. All he knew was he couldn't keep his heartbroken sobs back any longer and he clutched his adoptive father's chest as he choked out his single plea that was no louder than a whisper.

"Daddy."

SO that was that! I will try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible! Now, what do you think I changed with this new version?

Feel free to comment, ask questions, etc.

Until next time! :D
