With each step further into that thick mist, Yukio could feel that deathly chill sink past his thick military coat and into his bones. "I wish that I had packed a set of gloves," Yukio muttered as he drew his hands up to his mouth and blew some heat into them, the corners of his mouth twitching downward as the heat was quickly stolen away by the dense mist that surrounded him. "Figures..." He muttered, and shoved them back into his pockets. Pausing in his aimless wondering, Yukio turned his head towards the sound of someone else's voice softly chanting.
It was the start of a prayer that father had taught him and Rin a long time ago- a prayer used more as a superstition than an actual prayer. "O Divine Eternal Father, in union with Your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg you to destroy the power of Your greatest enemy – the evil spirits. Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain there forever! Take possession of Your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully Yours. Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take. Amen."
As the last word was uttered, the figure stepped within perfect view of the young exorcist. A familiar face looked back at Yukio- a face that he had thought he would never be able to see- not after that night. The night before he left to attend True Cross Academy.
Shirou.
"Father...?" Yukio muttered, a bit thickly, for it seemed as if his jaw refused to move, due to being stuck in a sense of shell shock as the man before him ducked his head slightly as he crossed himself. Yukio watched as his protector touched first his forehead, then chest, then left shoulder and finally the right. "Yukio... You were supposed to protect Rin. What happened to you?" Shirou asked, as dark red eyes locked with his own teal colored eyes- only the thin layer of glass provided a slight filter of the man's disgust.
"I... I am trying father... I'm a paladin...Just like you were." Yukio answered, as a chill slid down his spine. Something was not right- why was the man that he strived to become like suddenly treating him as if he was one of the possessed? "A demon paladin?" Sneered Shirou, as his hand drifted down to handle the gun at his waist. "Don't make me laugh... No Brother Slayer would ever be graced with such a high title." The clergyman snarled, as he pointed the gun between Yukio's eyes and pulled down the safety lock.
"Brother- slayer?" Yukio repeated, as he suddenly lost his balance and collapsed to the ground- his black exorcist coat drenched with something much slicker than mere dew. "I- I didn't murder him..." Yukio murmured, mostly to himself, even as the feeling of metal pressed against his forehead- the feeling of a impersonal barrel. "You did," Shirou coldly answered, as his finger pulled the trigger back.
Silence. Once again, Yukio was surrounded by the silence of the mist- alone. The whole confrontation nothing but a twisted nightmare brought to life before him.

Cold.
It was unbelievably cold.
