Blue Exorcist - Burning Heart in Blue Flames

By Tayla Drago

Episode 1 # - The Devil Resides in Human Souls

The story begins as it shows an opening inside of a church with people chanting by praying to be blessing on someone 'or something' for each priest began to burn up in blue flames all over the room one by one. As a father said to everyone to stay strong, he soon goes into flames for the others to see the horror of their failures to die by 'his' hands. The church's number one enemy...

"Curse you, Satan!" the father cries out as he was getting burned, for the whole building was covered in blue-like fire all over the place afterwards.

Elsewhere...There was a girl with long purple-like blue hair, with red beans as pink-tails holding them up on each side, dark purple colored eyes, wearing a long blue-like shirt-short dress with lining of white-like blue, with long stocking black socks on her legs, and brown shoes. For her looks to also having huge breasts, who looked nice, friendly, with a tough attitude, and skills was minding her own business from going out somewhere to get into a fight to be going on involving three boys getting hurt by another; two feared this kid while the other calling himself Reiji Shiratori was a big trouble maker to another boy who was 15 years old name Rin Okumura. He had a reason on why he fought with them. They were trying to shoot the poor birds with arrows...

"Bulls-eye!" Reiji said with laughter for the others to laugh with him.

They continue shooting at the birds, for this girl calling herself Kiyomi Saki buts in.

"Stop! What are you doing!?" she cries out to shield herself and tries to save the birds if she must.

"Shut up!" said Reiji. "Just getting rid of these annoying birds here who keep crapping all over the place! So, beat it!"

But Kiyomi refuses to move.

"No! I won't let you kill them!"

"Wow, she sure is stupid."

"You said it." said two of Reiji's friends.

"Have it your way."

Reiji fires another arrow for it hits Kiyomi's face to go flying where Rin was riding his bike. She was bleeding badly to be laughing at her and continue killing two more birds; for Rin to get very mad and went after them to stop the last arrow.

"Hey! Leave the girl alone!" he yells at them.

They get into a fight for Rin had the upper hand by stopping Reiji and his arrows in time for the other two guys were freaking out for Kiyomi to be seeing this, unaware she just stopped an arrow to slow down for him with something she was born with a secret. Reiji was down for the count after with one bird being saved thanks to Rin and Kiyomi.

"You...! You devil!" said the one boy who was afraid.

"What the hell are you!?" and the other. "Let's get out of here!"

They carry the injured Reiji away.

"Who are you calling a demon, dumb asses?" said Rin. Everything was covered in blood on his lips to see his hands that were messed up to look at besides seeing lots of other dead birds all over the floor next to him. "Crap, not again." Rin sees Kiyomi wasn't there anymore, for she already left after the other three took off. "Where did she go? (Just who was she?)" One bird flies off for Rin to see it feeling a lot better now, also wondering why he was there in the first place. Was it all to save one girl, the bird, or both? "What am I doing here?" He said to himself.

That boy had some issues, but with good reasons why...He was born odd to get into trouble because people treated poor Rin like crap thinking he's a demon for so many years hearing about it while growing up. It was not his fault...The older adopted kid living with his step-father who's a father also a fighter in a church calling himself Shiro Fujimoto. A pervert to like other girls, tough around Rin, but with a kind-hearted man to protect the people from bad demons in the world like his other three to four helpers too. Always must correct Rin all the time from getting into so many fights, while still having a job. Unlike his younger adopted half-brother, Yukio Okumura, who does so well in school, sports, with lots of smart, and very carrying to Rin to do what it takes to live a normal life. Rin refuses to take over the church to be leaving on his own one day, as Yukio will be in an academy on his own real soon. Brothers get along so weirdly to know about Rin's true secrets.

As the other four priests – Izumi 'spiky hair', Kyoudou 'shaved haircut', Maruta 'buzz cut hair', and Nagatomo 'bushy hair' got Rin another job to try out at the grocery store run by a Ms. Momoi, he wanted to prove to Shiro that he can live on his own soon. As Rin...Tried to do his best on the first day in being clumsy and too strong; meanwhile Kiyomi knows of Shiro to visit him every day like he was an uncle to her and to see from another issue on her mind.

"(I knew my friend would come out today...Guess I have to tell him again.)" Kiyomi said to herself and walks into the church and bumps into Yukio for they know each other as good friends.

"Oh! Ms. Saki, hi." he said to her.

"What's up, Yukio? Is your father home today?"

"He's outside."

"Thanks. See ya later."

"Yeah, see ya... (Kiyomi, she's as beautiful as ever...)"

Poor Yukio, he has a big crush on Kiyomi that she was unaware of his real feelings towards her being much more than friends. As Kiyomi goes outside of the building of the backyard to see Shiro just taking care of the garden to see his favorite member once again.

"Ah, excuse me? Father Fujimoto?" Kiyomi calls out to Shiro.

He hears her to go running up to Kiyomi to be a little creepy in his pervy ways again.

"Oooooh...Kiyomi-San! I miss you! Come give Father Fujimoto a big hug-!"

Kiyomi puts her foot out to stop Shiro to get kicked in the stomach very hard.

"Ew! Don't do that! Pervert!"

"Ouch...! That hurt you know..." Shiro complained a little to be himself again. "So, I take it happened to you again?"

"It did..."

"Have a seat."

The two sat down while drinking some tea together. It's been happening for quite some time now since Kiyomi was born. Having a father who was a Shadow Demon who fell in love with a human female, her mother for her to be born; but for her father was killed during the war with Shiro were both good friends with and it was unknown if Kiyomi's mother was still alive today, she lives with her aunt and uncle to work at a clothing store during the time. They know about Kiyomi's condition since her father was a Shadow Demon for his father was mess up and she was half of it and human too - she can control the shadows with her own free will to make a small creature into a beast-like creature to fight under her control 'like the bird thing she stopped the arrow for helping out Rin' for they were both unaware on who was who. She told Shiro from what happened yesterday to know the power from within this girl was changing, making poor Kiyomi to worry more about it.

"Again, huh? So, it's growing, your powers."

"It has. I've gotten much better, it just...This crazy boy jumped in to save me and I... Stopped the arrow from hitting him and the other bird in time just in case. I couldn't save the other two since some jerk shot me but I moved it in time to hit my cheek bone instead." Kiyomi explained to show the bandage on her face.

"Poor Kiyomi-San..."

"Don't kiss it...!" Kiyomi makes sure Shiro kept his hands to himself. "Look, Father Fujimoto, I feel like I can trust in my powers to see and hear strange things like it, I don't know what to do. I almost felt another one during the time."

He was aware it was Rin on who she felt out, but he didn't from her.

"Really? Hmm...How odd. It must be helping you understand more on human's pain and suffering from the good ones and protecting those you like."

"I see...From a small fry into a beast is this thing within my own shadow..." Kiyomi has been living with it for a long time now.

"But you have been training a lot, which is good. Just keep it up, Kiyomi. You can make a difference someday with those powers. Your Father would say the same thing to you today if he was still alive." Shiro knows how Kiyomi was feeling right now.

"And my Mommy?" she wonders about her mother's safety.

"My people and I are doing everything we can to find her. I promise I'll let you know first thing when we do, okay?" said Shiro.

So, no news about Kiyomi's mother's whereabouts yet to keep on waiting.

"I guess so...Thanks again, Father Fujimoto, I guess...Please excuse me."

"Of course, if you need anything else, we're here for you."

And for that, Kiyomi leaves for Yukio to listen in and felt bad for her, same for Shiro and the other boys as well. Looking at her own shadow to have a devil-like black bat with only yellow eyes being shown to see her feelings right now to be thinking about something.

"(I know...I just know I'll see Mommy again. Aunty and Uncle miss her so much. Where will my powers lead to her that my Daddy did before?)" Kiyomi wonders on the streets of a dark alley to be punching the wall very hard with her powers combined. "Damn it!"

Poor Kiyomi...As for Rin for he was not doing well on other things, he was good at cooking to making things taste better to finally be hired. Nice. Getting back home to celebrate that and Yukio's last day, he bumps into the girl from this morning name Yui Sakamoto to lose her scarf for Rin to get it, a demon was playing keep away from him to see and hear it 'also the girl too', as he went after it all over the grocery place for a box full of beer cans come crashing down as Rin shielded Yui in time to get a cut on her head. That was still a close call there! And it was a demon alright, not a monkey.

Sadly, though, Momoi fired Rin because she thinks he was a thug only to save Yui as Yukio heard about him at night while Kiyomi was walking back home from her job. But the good news about Yui who was okay for she and her father 'this time than her mother was this morning' to show up again for Rin to explain and saying her thanks to him, Shiro gives her a clover to be protected by the demon to not go near her again 'for some things are best left to be a secret for the world to know about demons being real for others not to understand it but Rin was having trouble to', also he was being punished for the damages that Rin did where he got fired from. Bummer. With something else going on for Shiro to learn about...Down in the basement, he had a sword that started to burn up for some strange reason.

"Just as I thought..."

Strange...The next morning for Kiyomi to get up and start a brand new day the best she could, just then she felt that something was coming from outside of flying little looking things for they were not bugs.

"What...? What are these things?" Kiyomi wonders to go see for herself.

She wasn't the only one either, Rin gets up to see a note left by Yukio that he left and then sees the creatures too from his window.

"What is this?" said Rin for he too goes out to see them up close. "What the hell are these bugs?" He then sees other people just having a normal day without seeing or hearing them at all. "(How come no one else can see them)?"

Kiyomi sees the same thing happening on her end.

"Strange...I guess those with a special gift can see and hear them, but others can't. What's going on here?"

Kiyomi's shadow demon pointed out to her that one of the group of four kids with one being Reiji appears to Rin for them to see on the other side of the streets to go check it out together.

"Oh, Okumura..." Reiji calls out to Rin.

"(The boy from yesterday and the bullies...! Wait! The arrow shooting kid, I feel...He's not even human like I am!)" she feels out from Reiji's odd energy.

Looks like Rin was stuck with those boys.

"Do you have a minute? It won't take too long." Reiji asks him.

"What's wrong? Too chicken to call out for your daddy or what?" one of his friends said.

"(Is this feeling coming from the kid with the white hair...?)" Kiyomi asked herself. So, Rin goes with Reiji and the others at an empty area being grounded or not, this looks like trouble for the demons to be showing up everywhere. For Kiyomi was confused, as the shadow demon pops up for her to keep hidden from anyone else just in case by hiding near her. "What are you doing? Stay down...!" It started to pull her on where Rin was going to. "Wait...You want me to follow that boy with those bad bullies? Are you sure? (Why am I even talking to this thing?)" It nodded a yes to consider Kiyomi's eyes to see it was being serious right now, for Shiro wanted her to train by controlling her powers more and more and try to save many lives. "Well...Okay, you lead the way."

As those two hurried into an empty area, Rin had a feeling that Reiji wasn't himself today...

"So, sorry about the other day." Reiji wasn't being serious. "I was playing with those pigeons, see? But I guess my hand slipped."

"(What's going on with this guy?)" Rin wonders that he knows of Reiji was acting very weird today.

"Anyway...I wanna know how much you want."

"What?" Rin was confused.

"How much do you want? My parents are freakin' rich for me to be famous soon by joining up to that True Cross Academy."

Guess Yukio's not the only one going there…

"You're joining that strange school too?" Rin asked Reiji. "I see your problem."

"Now you got it." Reiji laughs a little. "Now consider this hush money to buy your silence, you just have to keep this little episode of ours between you and me. You're not the only one either, that girl as well. She's next to talk to if she'll be nice to me."

Rin remembers Kiyomi from the other day for she arrives with her little demon to be spying on them and talking very quietly.

"What's going on here...?" Kiyomi was confused from all of this.

"Heh. You really threw me a curve there. Blackmailing me and that girl, you can keep your money. I won't tell and I doubt she would too if you leave her alone. I got other things to do."

Rin was about to leave for Kiyomi to see and hears the rest, that's when something does happen.

"What is this? Just take it." Reiji shows Rin the money. "You're poor after all that can't get around on your own. But your younger brother...What's his name, Yukio? He's too smart to be living on his own because he studies and got an earlier scholarship, unlike you. So, you pay him with this, okay? And that girl will get paid from me with cash or maybe as my new girlfriend-!"

Rin then punches Reiji in the face to be very angry right now.

"Wow! He punched him twice! This kid's strong!" said Kiyomi to her surprise.

"Say what you want about me...But don't you ever talk crap about my brother! And using someone as your sick slave!? You're so low...!"

"Ow...That really hurts...! I wouldn't push my luck if I were you!"

Suddenly Reiji's teeth were shown with very sharp-like to morph his body into something very odd coming out of him for Rin and Kiyomi to feel out for it wasn't normal at all.

"What the hell!?" shocked Rin.

"What...What is this...?" Kiyomi said in fear.

Reiji wasn't even human at all to grow out a tail of a devil, teeth too, and horns out of his head for only Rin, Kiyomi, and her demon friend to see this but Reiji's so call friends to be holding Rin down.

"He's not normal...!" Rin couldn't get the boys off him to try getting out. "(Damn it! Why can't they see it!?)" Rin wonders.

Reiji then gets something out of a burning barrel of a long pull being very hot for him to use on Rin, for Kiyomi had to do something to save him quickly.

"Crap! He's going to kill him!"

"Eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." he said. "This is payback on what you did to me..."

"Come on now, Reiji, you don't want to kill this kid, right?" one friend said to Reiji.

"Shut up!" But Reiji kicks the guy instead to ignore him and tries to burn Rin. "Now...Where should I burn you at? Your nose, your mouth, your ears, or your eyes? This will be fun!"

Reiji laughs for the others watch on the horror going to be inflicted on Rin, until Kiyomi shows up to start punching the two other guys and kicks Reiji away with the Shadow Demon of hers giving a boost to fight very well.

"Loser!" Kiyomi shouted. "Picking on someone is one thing, but...Trying to kill them from being human or not is still low!"

"Gotcha!"

However, Reiji gets back up quickly to grab Kiyomi by the leg and arm to use the other to burn her mouth with the hot metal bar.

"(Crap!") Kiyomi couldn't break free from Reiji's strong grip on her.

"You make things way too easy for me, girlie!"

Rin sees the horror that was about to happen to Kiyomi for her partner couldn't push him off her, to be angry at and to be saying this...

"Get away from her...!"

Just then, the hot metal bar begins to burn up blue-like fire all over to get bigger and it was coming from Rin.

"What the hell?" Kiyomi felt it being Rin that she was feeling out.

"GET AWAY!" Then in a huge explosion to being made just pushed the other guys and Reiji to the ground, to saving Kiyomi's life for her shadow demon gotten bigger to punch Reiji to go flying hard and to get hurt. The other three were really freaking out now. "Blue flames...? What the hell?" Rin was confused on what he was looking at...

For the other guys flee, Rin looked at his arm to be covered in blue-like fire all over his body to looking much different than before. Kiyomi went over to Rin to check on him.

"Hey...You're okay. Thanks for the other day and right now for saving me twice." Kiyomi tries offering her hand to Rin's to be confused too on why he was like this suddenly. "Are you sure you're feeling all right?"

The little demon of hers didn't feel any danger coming from Rin, but something else. Rin felt something different from Kiyomi too, his face turns red from looking at her image of beauty.

"(Wow! She's freakin' hot! So hot looking...)" Rin then notices Kiyomi's demon. "Ah! What is that thing!?"

"This? Why are you on fire!?" she asks Rin.

"It's the sign of you being the air of Satan's." said Reiji who was getting back up and sounded to looking different who was behind them. "Yes, I was right. My eye was un-wearing." Reiji goes up to both Rin and Kiyomi for he wasn't Reiji in the first place or anymore.

"Sign of Satan...? Who are you!?" Kiyomi asked.

"My name is Astaroth." he said to them. "Come with me, my prince. My Lord Satan has been waiting for you." Reiji now being Astaroth offers his hand to Rin.

"Satan has...?" Rin was confused and freaking out right now.

Just then, help arrives.

"Satan is in our hearts."

"(Father Fujimoto!)" Kiyomi said with joy.

Shiro appears to start praying to keep Astaroth away from both Rin and Kiyomi in time.

"Curse those words! Damn you, priest!" the demon cried out.

"Bless in me, thy lord." said Shiro with a grin on his face.

"Old man?"

"Wait! Father Fujimoto's your dad!?" Kiyomi said in shocked after hearing this from Rin.

Astaroth goes after Shiro to continue his chanting and dodging his strikes at the same time for he was good for Kiyomi to see him in battle again and a lot more for Rin. It was so cool! He then grabs his arm to hold Astaroth down to finish up in time to exorcise that demon out of Reiji's body.

"Be gone!" there was a lot of weird looking bugs fly out of Reiji's body for Astaroth has left and Reiji was back to normal again. "Are you two all right?" Shiro asked.

"I'm fine." Kiyomi looked at her Shadow Demon. "I mean 'we're fine'. Sorry..."

"Never mind me, is that guy going to be okay?" Rin asked.

"I exorcise the demon that possess him, so he'll come to in a moment."

Kiyomi knew that was the case, but it was new to Rin.

"Demon?"

"Should have known."

"Wait! You do?" Rin asks Kiyomi.

"Unlike Kiyomi here, you can see them now too, can you?" Shiro asks Rin.

"These?"

"They're called Coal Tars." he explained. "They're attracted to dark places to get humans easily to take control of. Divided into two different worlds we have to live in changes everything for centuries now, them being the material world being ours is called Assiah and the other being demon world called Gehenna."

Kiyomi heard of them before to be real now to her than it was told in a fairy tale.

"Assiah and Gehenna? (Was that where my Daddy once lived with Grandfather? The once King of the Shadow Demons?)"

"Those places have to stay the same, for the bad demons get through our world to cause trouble, not knowing of the danger to everyone else is in because of this and it's becoming worse." said Shiro. "Rin, stand up. They now know of your awakening. They'll come after you for all kinds of reasons, you must hide before it comes to past."

"Why? What happens if he doesn't?" Kiyomi asks Shiro.

Things were getting very serious here.

"Hold on! She's right! What are you saying? What demons?" Rin asked Shiro. "And what the hell do you mean by awakening?"

"Yeah! What the hell is he anyway!?" said Kiyomi.

"You're not a human being, Rin." This surprises both Rin to be hearing about this now and Kiyomi too, for there was more... "You are a son of a demon, born from a human."

"Son of Satan? Him!? (Like me being a half Shadow Demon...!)" Kiyomi said to herself.

Soon all over the place weirder things were happening as other strange demons were getting out as Shiro helped Rin for Kiyomi to follow them.

"Kiyomi, let's go. Stay close to me." Shiro said to her.

"Huh? Oh, right! I might as well have to."

Shiro helps Rin.

"And not just any demon, I'm afraid...The demons of all demon for Kiyomi to figured it out too, the offspring of Satan."

What will happen now to Rin since he learned the most shocking truth ever about him being different from everyone else? Just like Kiyomi as well, will she be able to aid both Shiro and him on the madness to be happening really soon? Half breed of Satan himself for Rin to be born with from his human mother...That is something else. Stick around! More chapters/episodes to come, so I hope you guys are liking this version of mine.
