Apologizes for the long wait!

But I am back. Finally! I found my drive to write this again.

So enjoy the chapter!

Also, my writing has improved significantly from last year, so expect this chapter to be better than the last. Also, sorry for Rokuro is a bipolar. As well as the poorly written fighting scene.

P.S. Thank you for all of the favs and follows. This story is currently the Number 6 in favorites of the Twin Star fandom. Thank you all!

Chapter 2

"From dawn to dusk, we perform this purification before the Gods. Amatsukami Kunitsukam, and those who serve the Great Emperor, watch over us. Excite your thoughts, and guide my actions. As did Toutsukami over the Eight Great Provinces. May Heaven and Earth prosper for all of eternity." The old man turned to a young male with spiky hair and red eyes, alongside a tall male with brown hair.

"Prepare yourself Ryogo, Rokuro."

Both of them nodded, and Rokuro suppressed a dark feeling that rose in his chest, knowing that the impurity might come out any moment.

They both tensed, feeling the arising of dark feelings within the girl's body.

A normal human wouldn't have been able to felt it, but...

They were exorcists.

They have been trained to feel the dark intents of the impurities that lurked within the shadows of the real world, and thrived in the world of Magano.

"Cleansing Impurity Severance Charm."

Rokuro and Ryogo both held up talisman, throwing them into the air, their small stone swords piercing through the glowing etched patterns. Instantly, the once small swords barely at a foot long, transformed into large European broadswords that were at a length of a meter.

They together drew their swords back, as they saw the impurity rise from the child's body.

It was nothing but an abomination, born from the dark thoughts of humanity.

"Be cleansed, be purified."

Rokuro muttered, as he stabbed forward. The Kegare screeched, a roar of rage coming out.

Before it exploded into yellow particles.

"I'll be leaving the rest to you Ryogo." The old man stated, to which the tall brown hair male nodded.

He opened a backpack, and took ink and a brush out. From there, he started to write on her torso.

"I can't believe there was such a monster inside my daughter. This is my first time seeing an evil spirit." The girl's father muttered.

"'Evil spirit' is not quite right. Though they are indeed made of pure evil, they're a bit different from the evil spirits that originally inhabited this land. The monster which we just exorcised was a resident of the world parallel to ours...the world called Magano. At times...they break through the barrier that separates the two worlds, which is exactly what this one that was in your daughter did."

"This thing...is called a Kegare. An impurity." The old mann narrowed his eyes. "When Kegare appear, that is when it becomes the business of us Exorcist."

"You've improved Ryogo." The old man said.

Ryogo smiled sheepishly. "Thanks old man. It was really Rokuro that did the work."

"That was too easy." Rokuro muttered, kicking at the dirt. "Didn't even pick up a fight."

Ryogo sighed. "Rokuro, it's not about killing the Kegare. It's about helping other people. Without us Exorcist, that means ordinary people will keep on getting harmed by the impurities."

Rokuro narrowed his eyes at Ryogo. "To me...all that's important to killing the Kegare. Whether I save or help people is nothing but a side effect of me killing the Kegare."

Ryogo sighed. "Whatever you say, Rokuro."

The party of three took a seat at a table, awaiting for their food.

When the food arrived, the old man decided to put up a conversation. "So Rokuro, how has school been for you?"

Rokuro shrugged. "It's been the same as usual. Nothing has really changed since the last time you asked me that same question."

The old man sighed. "You should do something in school Rokuro. You can't simply just stay in class and do nothing. You have to do something during your school years. Like I said before, you simply can't just sit in class and do nothing."

Rokuro sighed. "Old man...Exorcist duties are to come before school. I'll rather train than study in school."

The old man nodded slowly. "I see..."

They continued eating in silence.

"Hmph." Rokuro sighed.

He stood at the edge of the bridge. His arms were on the railing.

He frowned, as he pondered over the Kegare. He wondered...where exactly was Yuuto? Where was Yuuto hiding out all this time?

He knew that the Hiinatsuki Dorm incident was something that was talked about throughout the exorcist world. Almost every exorcist was out after Yuuto's blood after he converted many young promising exorcists into Kegare through the use of Kegare corruption.

Even with the might of the Twelve Guardians, they were still unable to find Yuuto in years.

Before he glanced up, seeing a motion at the corner of his eye.

"What?"

There falling, was a girl just about his age, with black hair and green eyes.

Eyes closed, falling head first.

His eyes widened, as he swung his feet over the railing. He reached out, and grasped her leg tightly, splashing into the water shortly after.

He couldn't see through the dark water, but he felt the girl's leg still within the grip of his hand.

He broke the surface of the water, breathing slightly heavy.

He sat on the shore, just shy of the water. His clothes were wet, and so was the girl's.

"...you are an exorcist." The girl muttered.

He rose his eyebrow at the girl, surprised at the fact that she was able to recognize an exorcist at a mere glance.

"I am. So are you."

He noticed the way her arms were positioned, ready to draw a weapon.

She nodded silently.

"Your name?"

"Enmado Rokuro." He said.

She widened her eyes. "Rokuro? You are the one..." She shook her head. "...I am Adashino...Benio."

Rokuro took note of the pauses between her speech.

He finally took notice of her attire. She wore a black shirt with a yellow scarf wrapped around her neck. Her black skirt was short, and she had light pink hair pins in her hair.

She held out a map, and Rokuro took it into his hands.

It was poorly drawn, but Rokuro was able to make out the streets and names.

"Seika dorm...?" Rokuro asked.

She merely nodded.

"Follow me." He said.

"Kohana~ Are you making sure to stick behind me~?"

"Wait Onii-chan!"

Benio smiled at the two children that were riding their bikes, before turning back forward.

Rokuro said without turning around, "What were you doing?"

"Huh?"

"Why were you falling out of the-"

"Hihihihi"

Both of their eyes widened. They both shot around, and saw nothing in the streets.

Nothing.

The bikes were gone, and everything changed. The streets and peaceful setting changed into a barren landscape, red rocks everywhere. The scent of blood lingered in the air, and dark miasma floated around.

"Magano!" Rokuro widened his eyes. "Wait...that means we were dragged in by-"

Benio nodded. "Kegare."

They stood back to back.

Before they spotted the Kegare.

It stood looming over the two children. The girl whimpered, and shook her brother. "Hey...hey, Onii-chan...wake up! Let's go home!"

"Kohana...run..." The boy muttered weakly.

The girl sat still, shocked. Her eyes wide.

She looked upwards at the Kegare that was staring down at her. Fear ran through her body, as the faceless monster's saliva dripped down.

Before two swords impaled the Kegare's head.

Benio dashed forward, a mask covering her face.

'Fast...' Rokuro thought.

She jumped, landing on the Impurity's head, before pushing the swords down from the handles, easily carving through the Kegare's head, almost as if the Kegare's head was made from butter.

'With no enhancements either.' Rokuro continued to observe.

Something told him that Benio knew him. It was obvious through her reaction when she heard her name. It also seemed like she was trying to impress him, through fighting that Kegare without anything but the normal Exorcist swords.

Along with the fact that she was not wearing the normal Exorcist equipment.

His eyes narrowed, as he felt multiple malicious intent flood the area. Benio felt it as well, standing straight, peering through the faceless mask.

A dozen Kegare surrounded Benio. Rokuro's arm pulsed, as he knew the cursed arm was trying to emerge from it's hiding spot. He felt the power emerge, but he continued to watch, making sure to keep his mental hold on the arm.

"Rumbling Arm Charm, Adamantine Charm, Skanda Charm, Celestial Motion Reading Charm." She pulled four talisman out.

"Exorcist Enchanted Gear, Stone Lion, Armor Tent Karmic Clothes, Soaring Heavenly Legs of Swiftness, Foresight of Calamities to Come."

She bowed down, one leg farther ahead than the other.

"Izayoi Nirvana Dance!"

In a burst of speed, she dashed forward. Power exploded out of her legs, as she spun, going from one Kegare to the next. She spun the twin blades within her hands, cutting through the Kegare within seconds.

She knelt next to the children, and Rokuro walked up to her.

Rokuro nodded. "That was good. Impressive really."

'Now...if she can do it without any Exorcist Enchanted Gear...'

Benio nodded.

"Onii-chan. Please save him..." The small girl was crying, holding onto her brother.

Benio pulled out a talisman. "Esoteric Buddhist Mantra."

A golden glow surrounded her hands, as she pressed her hand onto the boy.

Rokuro widened his eyes.

"Benio!"

Faster than Benio could comprehend, he had grabbed her along with the children. He jumped backwards, and as soon as his foot left the ground, did the ground suddenly erupt, exploding in a shower of rocks and boulders.

Dust flew everywhere, and Rokuro landed on two feet.

He set the two children and Benio down, and he took a good look at the Kegare that had just attacked them.

It was unlike anything he had seen.

Even with his years of experience, as well as even fighting alongside Tenma, and the Twelve Guardians, he had never seen anything like this kind of Kegare. It was white, shaped like a spider with eight legs. It's abdomen was large, easily exceeding the size of a city block.

Benio held out a talisman for Rokuro. "Take this Rokuro, and take the two children to safety."

Rokuro smiled, amused "You honestly expect me to let you die in here?"

Benio shook her head. "No...you know of the Hiinatsuki Dorm incident. I know you do. You are, after all, the lone survivor. My dream...is to cleanse all Impurities!"

She stepped forward.

"Please take care of them."

She leapt, challenging the Kegare that stood several stories high.

Rokuro merely shook his head, sighing.

She crossed her swords, making them into a cross.

"Hazy Lotus Dance!"

She dashed forward, even faster than before.

She continuously struck against the Kegare. She gritted her teeth, as the Impurity barely even moved.

Rokuro blinked, as his face went from amused, to serious.

"No more. I wanna go home!" The small child cried. "Daddy! Mommy!"

Rokuro looked from the sobbing child, to the charging Benio. Her mask shattered as she continued to press her attack.

Rokuro stepped forward.

He reached into his pocket, and pulled a black charm with no writing.

"Step out Benio!" He called out.

She did, panting.

And he stepped forward.

He held out his arm, and he released the mental hold on his arm.

"Be cleansed. Be purified." He threw the talisman forward, and punched through the small slip of paper.

In an instant, power flooded out of his arm.

The arm that had gained on the night of the Hiinatsuki Dorm emerged from it's hiding spot. Crimson red, as Rokuro swung his arm back around.

The large Kegare blinked, as it started to take a step back.

'It...fears him?' Benio widened her eyes.

"Watch Benio."

He took a single step forward, and jumped. He somehow managed to reach the same height as the head of the Kegare, despite being a couple of hundred meters above the ground.

He punched forward, as power shot out of his fist. It covered his entire arm, as he pushed forward.

Within seconds, the Kegare disappeared, dissipating into golden dust.

'One...hit?' Benio thought. 'I have...a lot to catch up to.'

"Let's go." Rokuro said.

Acting as if nothing had happened, he strode toward the crying girl still on the ground and holding her brother.

He knelt, and spoke gently the girl, his voice holding gentleness and care.

'Yes...I have a lot.'
