Rin's P.O.V.

I woke up on a cold and hard floor. I was laying on my stomach with my my arm above my head and my other arm by my side. I put my other arm above me before pushing myself up. I sat on my knees before panting. It was never to much work to sit up for me. I guess Shura reciting something to tigger the heavenly metal on my tail, really did a number on me. With it being heavenly metal and my tail, the weakest and most venerable part of my demon body, would cause me to be more warn out. After a couple minutes, I heard footsteps coming towards my cell. I looked up before seeing Shura.

"So, you cool off yet?" Shura asked.

"I guess..." I replied in a tired tone.

"How ya feeling?"

"Still a little wobbly and tired. I can move by myself, I guess."

"Well, you're up." Shura said before Yukio walked up. He sighed before I looked away.

"Really? This is what you do to show people you're not a threat? By lashing out before making people scared and getting yourself thrown in jail? What's dad going to say?" He said.

"I get it! I made a mistake, but you don't have to rub it in my face!" I shouted at him.

"Hey, hey, you two. Fighting is the last ting we need right now. I know you're brothers and all, but this is not the time to have an argument." Shura said before we backed off from each other. "Anyway, while you were out, Suguro's dad gave this to me and said to was for you." She said before bending down and slipping a brown envelope though the wooden bars. I held it before opening it up, but it was in an a different writing style that I couldn't read.

"Okay..." Is all I said.

"Well, what's it say?" Shura asked before I put it down.

"I can't read it."

"Are you serious?! I knew you were a dork, but this is unbelievable. Kids like you make me worry about the future." She said as she took it from me and then looked at it. "Holy crap, I can't read it either!"

"That's what I just said!"

"It's coercive script. I can make it out enough to see what he wanted to say." Yukio said as he leaned over to see it.

"Okay, Mr. Okumura, read it for the class." Shura said as she handed it to him. He held it before reading it out loud.

"Greetings, Rin Okumura. Let me introduce myself, I am a priest that lives in Kyoto. My name is Tatsuma Suguro. You're probably wondering why I'm writing to you, and that's because I have an important favor to ask. You're probably not feeling right doing favors for strangers. So, I'll tell you a bit about my past. I'm not that good of a writer, so forgive me if things get jumbled. The best place for me to start would be before you and Ruji were born. I was much younger then and my pregnant wife fell really ill. I was so worried, I didn't know what to do. She grew weaker by the day. The miasma from the right eye is what made her so sick. Even after my mother died, my father still did his duties as master by day after day. Even though he gotten sick as well. I was powerless, so I listened to every word he said. At birth I became the seventieth master of meyota. The monks did their work to protect that blood line, and I had my duties as well. As long as I kept my mind from doubt, I would be able to protect meyota, Torako, and our unborn child. I forced myself to believe that, then one day, out of the sky. That is when I met Shiro Fujimoto, the man who rises you. The man you call your father. And he said me needed the koma sword."

We were all surprised at that.

"Oh god , I didn't know they knew each other and this is how he got the koma sword." Yukio said.

"It belongs to Bon's temple?" I questioned myself.

"Don't stop now keep reading!" Shura shouted at Yukio.

"Right."

"I'm not sure I feel good about this anymore."

"We still don't know what favor he wants from me." I said.

"No, we don't." Yukio said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Continue reading." I said before he continued.

"The koma sword, other wise known as Kurikara. Is a demon killing sword and is one of meyota's holiest relic. The master at the time had the flames of Rōmaji, bounded to it to defeat the Impure King. They pasted the sword down generation to generation. And they kept the right eye locked away, to keep it safe and away from the outside world. Then Shiro showed up and his presence seemed to mock all the precautions we had taken. He cared all the sick people even Torako. They were going to kill him because he knew about the secrets, but I helped him escape and gave him the koma sword. That's the story of me and Fujimoto, the man that raised you. As few months later, the blue night happened. My father made me the master, and with his last breath told me the secret of meyota. And that secret was truly, truly horrible. Rin, I'm begging you, use the koma sword to kill the impure king. I know I'm just a stranger to you and what I'm asking is beyond crazy. But still, if you have the tiniest sliver of compassion like your father. Please do this and thank you for reading all of this. Tatsuma Suguro." He finished.

"Heh heh, that letter seemed to be a bigger eye opener then I thought." Shura said.

"You're right, but we can't give Rin the koma sword. Combined with his flames, who knows what it will do to the Impure King. I hate to disappoint Suguro's dad, but-" Yukio said before Shura grabbed the letter from him.

"The letter was addressed to you, Rin. What do you want to do?" She asked me as she put the letter in her back pocket.

"I wanna-" I said quietly before Yukio interrupted.

"Really? What's the point in asking him?" Yukio said to Shura and she didn't respond. I think the stress is really getting to him because he never acted like this before.

"I wanna help." I said.

"Come on! Do you even know the trouble you're in?"

"I wanna help because there's probably not another way to stop this. If there's a chance I can save someone, I want to do it and joy sit around. Hell, I know what trouble I'm in. I just want to help." I said.

"Well you can't and that's-" Yukio said before Shura interrupted him.

"Screw it." She said before reciting something to get my sword out of her tattoo.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Yukio said.

"Mm? What do you mean? Giving him his sword. If he wants to help,we have to make sure he can draw it and keep his cool. So, let's see if he can." She said before giving me my sword, but Yukio grabbed it to stop her.

"No! Have you gone completely insane? He's here because he just lost control and now you want to give it to him and hope for the best? If he flares up again, he'll be executed for sure." He said as he pulled on the sword to get in out of her hands. Is he just worried about me getting executed? I know he loves me, but he's the more tough love kinda guy. Which spark our arguments, because he wants to protect me when I can do somethings on my own.

"Listen, dummy. The Knights of the True Cross know what was going on when I chanted that spell. They couldn't killed him there, but they didn't. The kid is already screwed, so there's no point in hitting around the bush now. Besides if the Impure King is alive again, don't you think that son of a bitch is a bigger threat to the world then Rin is?" She said as they were tugging back and forth on the koma sword. "And you seen what he can do when he's worked up. You seen him fight demons before. So, I say it's worth a shot." She said before getting the sword out of his hand and gave it to me though the wooden ceil.

"Go ahead, try to draw it." She said before I grabbed it. I held it in both my hands before trying to draw it. But it wouldn't happen, it was like someone super glued it and duck taped it as well. "What's wrong?"

"What are you doing?" Yukio asked.

"I-It's stuck!" I said while trying to get it open.

"Would you stop screwing around?" Shura asked.

"I-I'm not, damnit!" I said before letting go of it.

"Let me try." She said as she held her hand out for it.

"Please, don't brake it." Yukio said to her.

"No, I can do it. It's just a little stuck is all." I said.

"Oh, I get it, you're scared. You can't draw the sword because you're scared. I can't blame you, this is a big task. A lot of people would be counting on you. You feel like you're stuck at square one. You're thinking 'if I draw my sword, will me and everyone be okay? What if this time I really hurt someone?'" Shura said, and she every word I was thinking.

"N-No, that's not it." I stuttered out.

"You know I'm right. You can't draw your sword because you stopped believing in yourself." She said before I hung on head.

"Come on, you tried. Now give it back." Yukio said.

"Well, I say he holds onto it until we can get him out. He can't really draw it anyway until he believes in himself again."

"Fine, but me and Shura well go talk to the higher ups to let out."

"Alright." I responded.

"You know, by 'higher ups' you can't mean Shiro. Sure he is a higher up with being the Paladin, but they won't allow it because he's attached to the both of you." Shura said.

"Alright, we'll be back, Rin." Yukio said before I nodded. Then they both walked out of jail.
