kristenskI've been wanting to write something centered around Shiemi for a while now. Being in my top four favorite characters from "Blue Exorcist", she really deserved her own drabble at least. So, this happened. As is often the case, I haven't quite settled on the title yet.
Update 5/26/15: And, the story has been officially renamed "Horticulture" thanks to a suggestion from Optimustaud.

In the end, it was Shiemi who made all their lies into truths.
First, in her own life. She became the compassionate healer Yukio could only pretend to be with his heart wrapped in steel and his hands that reeked of gunpowder. She became the confident hero Rin fought to be even as new doubts and old wounds gnawed at his easy smile from the shadows.
And then, smiling, she reached back and pulled the brothers along with her. Because they had believed in her when she was weak and crippled with fear. And, she would always believe in them.
