Ki Master
Chapter 1
Author Notes: So we're here with a new story~ Now this is a recent idea that popped into my head after like 3 weeks worth(and counting) of binge reading Rin based blue exorcist stories.
I'm excited to see how this is going to go. Just note that my info on Blue Exorcist(which i dont own) isn't as detailed as some of my other stories or follow the canon as much.
It gets a bit confusing and cooky as we get to further chapters. And as far as the anime, I've only seen clips from amvs on youtube...so im not going to worry about it and just do my own thing~ Again I do not own Blue Exorcist!
3rd P.O.V
It was a cold winter afternoon, with clouds swirling into the sky, shrouding the world in a dull gray. Chills slowly crawled up her spine as she snuggled into her blankets.
A small purr left her throat as her toes clenched the fake fluff surrounding her cold frame. It was wonderful, and she was so tempted to take a nap with how comfortable she was. However she couldn't just yet... she had work to do.
Pen in hand she attempted to get at least a few paragraphs done. She had been laying down for far too long and due to that was seriously behind schedule. Her editor was going to kill her at this rate.
"Hey mom? Mom!" Blinking she sat up. Turning her head to the doorway she gave a sheepish smile to the young fifteen year old boy. For a moment she couldn't help but admire how much her son had grown. "What is it hon?"
He was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed. A small frown was on his face as his blue eyes furrowed in concern. "I'm getting ready to head out. Do you need or want me to get anything for you?" The young woman huffed, slightly offended with the question, though she expected it.
She was supposed to be worrying about Him, taking care of HIM! Not the other way around, bless her sweet, stupid yet compassionate boy. "I should be good sweetie. Don't worry about me."
He snorts, his long raven bangs floating upwards for a moment from the movement. He was not at all convinced as his hands break from their position, falling to land on his hips. He lifts an eyebrow as he takes in her tired, fragile appearance, making her grunt in turn.
The past few years hasn't been too kind to her as far as the health department was concerned. However that didn't mean he could judge. She was simply fatigued today, that was all!
"Are you sure ma? I mean it-I'm gonna do shopping once I finish job hunting. I can get you whatever." Job hunting again. There he goes, wanting to spend time trying to get a job that wasn't really needed.
Thanks to her books, the two were well off financially, especially since their humble home was in the middle of a dense forest. No one wanted the place since it was considered haunted.
Personally the bedridden mother would rather have him focus on going to school(especially since he quit halfway in junior high.) or getting a social life(she wants him to find a cute girlfriend dammit!) Not worry about her.
Instead of listening to her-the stubborn brat took care of all the chores, and basically slaved away in his own home. Downright refusing to relax and enjoy life even when she told him things were fine and that no she didn't need anything.
Honestly there were days she was ready to smack him with how badly he fussed over her-he was such a worrywart! However she didn't have the heart or energy today to argue. This time...she would relent. "If you could pick me up some more tea I'd appreciate it."
Just like that his ice blue eyes lit up, making him look his actual age. "You got it~" These days her son frowned so much one would think him far older than fifteen with all the wrinkles showing. Why can't he be a normal kid?
"I got my cell so if you need anything else at all let me know! Tonights meal is gonna be sukiyaki!" Stifling a chuckle she waves him off. "Sounds good to me. You took the potion right?"
His face scrunches up at the mention of her grandmother's homemade brew. Sure it did the job, but the taste leaves much to be desired. "Yeah, I mean I got my glamour on but I took it just in case." Her head dipped slightly to nod. Relieved to hear he was being extra cautious.
Granted they both had been doing this for years, but these days, one never knew when something could happen and break their spell. One never knew when exorcists would be on the prowl. "Be careful, good luck and love you." He walks over, nimbly avoiding the various papers and books scattered around her room.
Reminding her that she definitely has do some cleaning once she was done with work. Grinning to himself at the fact that he managed to somehow avoid a collision with the floor, he gives his mother a peck on the cheek.
"Love you too~ Don't over do it!" Rolling her eyes she watches him go. "Gwack!" Only to laugh seeing the poor kid trip and fall, smacking face first into the hard wooden floor. "And you were doing so well too Rin. What happened?"
Growling Rin lifts himself up, blushing in embarrassment. "Shut up ma!" Narrowing her eyes, she grabs the first book she could reach and chucks it, nailing him straight in the head. "Don't be cheeky!"
Groaning he apologizes, causing the pair to laugh. The hidden tension broke away as Rin patted his clothes down, giving her a small wave as he reached the door. "Later mom." She smiles, blowing him a kiss.
"Don't forget to bundle up! We're still in winter season!" Not even a moment after her shout did she hear the door slam shut. She could only shake her head, hoping he had at least put on a jacket.
She didn't care what anyone said. You can't just go out into the freezing cold in a t-shirt and jeans! Sighing she collapses onto her pillows, sinking back into the mattress. These days it was getting harder and harder to find the strength to get out of bed and move around.
At the very least she could still work as a writer and focus on her research. Gently she lifted her hand, grasping at an old leather book. Her fingers pull it closer before gliding upon the etched letters.
Ki Manipulation Theory By MingXia
Her eyes soften as she glanced over the letters, a chuckle echoing in the otherwise silent room. "Your pen name still sucks Ling." It's been twenty-five years since her new life began, and it was still insane how fast it just passed by her.
Anyone who looked at her would believe her to be in her early twenties, with not a speck of gray to be seen in her mint green hair. Her eyes though a deceitful blue, a darker, duller shade than her sons' was filled with mischief and wisdom.
Many would find it hard to believe that at her 'age' or based on her appearance that she was happily married for seven years and had two wonderful children. However if it was one thing that 'Ming Xia' was good for, it was being hiding who and what she was.
Shifting her head, her gaze widened in wonder as she peered out through her window. "Snow." There it was. The soft pearly white flakes flew down to earth, coating the world in light layers of white. Not even the thick various trees of the forest that separated her and her home from civilization was spared.
A hum reverberated in her throat while she continued to stare outside her window. The wind flared outside, sending the snowflakes into a chaotic spiral. Though she was cooped up in her house there was something itching at her mind.
What it was she wasn't exactly sure. However she really wasn't surprised with the feeling. Seemed to her that every time it was snowing like this it meant something important was going to happen.
After all it was a snowy day like today that she met her deceased husband and found her precious son. Both events took place years ago, but she still remembered it all as clear as day...as if it just took place yesterday.
To be continued
Author Notes: Surprisingly enough this was a recent idea that popped into my head as I was chattin up with my co-author when discussing new stories. Well if you guys were confused note that this is taking place with an oc that is Rin's mom.
As far as how that happened and her backstory we'll be finding out in the future-such as her role in this glorious world. Ok with that being said I think this is a good ending point. Guys if you like this series so far, please feel free to fav/follow/review~
Also before I forget I usually choose oc names based on some sort of cool meaning or connection to the character~ For Mingxia-clear halo was the best I could figure out, thinking it a bit ironic, which we'll find out later. Tchao for now!
