Chapter 9

So, I hope you like this chapter. I decided to move from canon and make this FF more about Kouji and less about the plot. We will now focus more on him and what he does and how it affects the plot, so not an AU but an AU, I guess, but again, I hope to see you another time.

==================================================================

Open the door!!!!!!!!

Laying on my bed, I can hear Rin and Yukio argue, but I don't know what they are talking about because I am trying to ignore it. Then I hear Rin break into laughter about how something landed. Looking at Akame as she sleeps on my chest, she is adorable, but looking over at my mirror, I see the same expression I have had for over 15 years. I wondered if I was to sign a contract with someone, could I get their emotions or something similar, but that is a thought for later; I heard Akame's stomach rumble; standing up quickly, I rushed her to the kitchen, giving her no time to wake up.

Sitting down, Ukobach comes out with freshly prepared dishes but they are safe for Akame to eat. Sitting down as she wakes up and eats, I see Rin and Yukio come speed walking by, but then Yukio stops.

Yukio: "Come with me, Kouji. I might need your help," he asked as I looked over at Akame, but then Ukoback gave me a bento with similar food to what Akame was eating. Looking down, she is ready to go.

Kouji: "Okay, as Akame wants to go outside, I will go," I said as I snapped my fingers once PJ changed to a student's uniform. I followed him with Akame in my arms.

Making it to a bridge, I hear some distorted voice cry about someone lying. Looking at the bridge, I see a two-tailed cat crying out and just throwing a tantrum.

Yukio: "Yukio Okumura Middle first class exorcist," he said, showing his ID, then pointing back at me; he said I am with him.

Rin: "Rin Okumura Exwire, I am here with them," he said, crossing behind me.

After a bit of back and forth from Rin and Yukio, we went and saw what was happening.

Yukio; "SO what caused this," he asked some of the exorcists in front of us.

Old Security: "That would be our fault we were speaking about Fijumoto when I think they heard us and went feral," he said, looking guilty.

Young Security: "No, this is my fault. I started the conversation," he said, looking equally as guilty.

Yukio: "Hmmm~ do not worry. Dad knew this was going to happen someday, so he prepared this," he said, lifting a container of some kind up in the air. "This is some kind of modified holy grenade or some kind of poison for Kuro," he said, opening the container and slightly pulling something out.

Kuro: "Liers, Liers," he said, getting madder. Looking over, I see Rin also heard him.

Yukio: "What happened, Rin," he asked, noticing a change in Rin.

Rin: "Nothing, I'm cool," he said, acting fine.

Looking back, I sense Mephisto and some other slightly weaker Demonic soul looking at us from the window looking over the bridge. Looking over, I see a demon with a green head. His face looks like that of a frog. He looks at me, surprised, but I turn back as Rin is talking to Yukio about wanting to help Kuro. Kuro yells something about Fujimoto not being dead.

(A/N: "Sorry if I butcher what Rin said.")

Rin: "I know you must be sad, but My father is dead. I know you must be his friend, but he is dead," he said, looking serious.

Kuro: "Lier, you're lying. Don't lie to me. Fujimoto was the strongest there ever was. He can die just like STOP LYING TO ME," he yelled before rushing Rin.

Like a ram fight, they both slammed their heads together as Kuro fell dazed while Rin stood tall with a bleeding nose. Looking over at Yukio, he has a look of disbelief, along with some other exorcists. Rin then walks over to Kuro.

Rin: "I know you must be sad, so am I. How about we be friends," he said, putting out his hand.

Kuro: "Fujimoto waaa waaaa waaaa," he cried to the heavens as he shrank down to the size of a normal cat.

****

Kouji: "Looks like you did not need me, Yukio," I said, putting on a teasing expression and tone.

Yukio: "Yeah, but what did Dad get ready for Kuro when he went mad," he said, pulling out the "Holy Grenade" or its container.

Kuro: "Hey, that smells like Fujimoto's silver wine Sake, my favorite. It must be a gift from Fujimoto. Could you give it to me? Give it here,' he said, playing with the bottle.

After getting a bowl, he pours it for Kuro as they laugh, and Akame and I go home to rest from this long day.

(A/N: "SO I am going to pull some bullshit right now. I am too lazy to search towns and remort forests in Japan, so this is canon in my story, but most of what I am going to put from the location to the people do not exist in real life or in the anime.")

Today, we can see our main protagonist on his way to do missions solo with a Teacher from his class.

Shinichi: "Okay, Kouji, you are with me, and we will be investigating a few missing people reports in this forest," he said.

Kouji: "Okay, but why only me, not any other students," I asked, confused.

Shinichi: "Well, you are a demon, and this mission is very dangerous, so we can risk the lives of our human exorcist. We are after a Mimic of some sort here in Koukashin Forest, as the locals call it. Here are the reports," he said, pulling out a camera of some kind from his pocket and handing it to me.

Ignoring what he said, I watched the video.

(Report 1)

A man appears on the screen with his face blurred.

Local 1: "Hi, my name is (Redacted), and I have lived in this town of (Redacted) for as long as I have lived about 28 years, and I love noodles," they said, sounding happy.

Cameraman: "Could you tell more about the forest," they asked seriously.

Local 1: "Sure will. I have never personally gone into the forest since when I was young; everyone told the kids to never go into the forest, and if we did, always go with an adult," he said, fidgeting with his hands a bit. "But I did have a friend when I was young who always went to the forest, and he talked about a friend he made in there and always told us to go with him, but we never did," he said, moving in his seat. "One day, he did not come out of the forest. His family went to find him, but nothing ever came of it, and it scared us more to never go into the forest," he said, going quite after.

Cameraman: "Anything else, please? This could help us find whatever is in the forest," they said, with the same tone and level of noise.

Local 1: "There was this one time I was 14. This is four or five years after my friend went missing. I was going on a run when I heard his voice in the forest, sounding scared and yelling for help. At this point, I had forgotten about my friend, so I thought it was another kid. I do not know if I was stupid or a wannabe hero but I ran after the voice," he said, his voice quaking. "Running, I started to hear the voice around me, not just in front of me. I then got scared, wanting to get out, so I walked backward at a fast rate so if anything came from where I heard the voice," he said, taking a breather; some tears fell from his voice, once cheery voice now scared and sad. Then the voice stopped, so I ran, looking back every once in a while. I then ran into something. Some liquid was on me from what I ran into, stocky and red. Looking up, I saw the deformed body of my friend, bloodied and broken. Some part of him was changed and, and h.. ... his voice came from whatever that thing was." He said shaking and weeping.

Cameraman: "So how did you get out," they asked.

Local: "My Fath-

*****

???: "Help me, please," A voice yelled, making Shinichi snatch the camera from my hands.

Shinichi: "You heard that? What was that," He said, looking at the forest in front of us.

Spreading my soul, sensing I sense a demonic soul, not just one but many. One of them is close, while the others are farther away around the forest. 

Kouji: "Yeah, I sense one. It's about 78 meters away," I said, pulling out a pen and turning it into a sword with Akame growling at the forest.

Shinichi: "You can sense where ever it is," he asked.

Kouji: "There are many, not just one," I said.

Shinichi: "Okay, how about we do this? You sense them, and I shoot. If they get too close, you can kill them with your sword." he said, pulling out a rifle from a bag to his side.
