K-pop Demon Hunters: Revelations

Summary:

A ringing started to fill Rumi’s ears. She couldn’t breathe anymore. Her head was throbbing and her chest was burning. She couldn’t let them see her patterns. She couldn’t let them know what she’s been hiding. She couldn’t lose their blind but loving trust.

Suddenly, a sharp pain snapped her out of her daze.

Her back felt like it had ignited with flames.

She let out a weak gasp. Her eyes shot wide and her pupils dilated. Her saingeom clattered to the floor beside her.

Standing behind her, Jinu chuckled with his fangs out. “Should have been watching your back.” He pulled his clawed hand away from her back and slipped to her side. Shreds of leather fell to the floor as blood dripped off his fingertips. He eyed the five gashes that stretched across her spine and smirked. “Later.”

~or~

In a world where Jinu’s soul has long since lost its humanity, what chance does Rumi have at healing her voice so she can restore the Honmoon? And when Huntrix chases the Saja Boys into the men’s bathhouse, what will her friends think when her demon patterns are exposed and no one is there to cover them up?

Notes:

This is written by my friend, JordynTaylor13, on FanFiction. AO3 never wants to approve her account so I thought I would post it for her. She gave me permission to. She puts a lot of time and effort and love into what she writes and I know her work would gain more traction on here. She really enjoys when people comment on her work so please do. She really loves writing fight scenes and you'll see that in this first chapter.

Chapter 1: In Another Life

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

“Whoa! Mind the face!” Jinu held his hands up in defence before quickly ducking underneath a glowing blue blade. If he wouldn’t have moved, it would have taken his head clean off. Sitting down with his legs spread wide and arms draped behind him, he smiled.“I need it to steal your fans.” He then smirked.

His bright and sinister yellow eyes glazed over with a devious look as he glanced over his left shoulder. Reaching across his shoulder with his right arm, he grabbed a wooden water bucket behind him and tossed it ahead.

Rumi narrowed her eyes. She brought her saingeom upwards and slashed the bucket in half. Even the handle came apart in two. Both halves fell onto either side of her.

Before any piece had a chance to touch the floor of the bathhouse, Jinu was on his feet with his fingers in the form of long demonic claws.

Her eyes widened but she didn’t back down. She bared her teeth and slipped to the right to avoid an attack coming from Jinu’s left hand. As he turned back around to face her, she retaliated by raising her weapon above her head.

He let out a sharp breath as he jumped away from her swing. With her blade down low, he took the chance to attack again. He lunged forward while flashing his demon fangs. His right hand caught her upper arm and he felt his claws tear through her leather outfit and sink into her skin.

Rumi let out a pained breath and gasped. She clenched both her eyes shut tight. Her arm stung. She stumbled forward a few feet before catching herself and baring her teeth. It burned. She opened one eye and looked back. She then opened both her eyes and let out a breath of exertion as she jumped towards him with her blade held high with both hands.

Jinu jumped back at her with his arm out. Just then, he teleported away in a puff of magenta smoke.

Watching the smoke move around her, Rumi narrowed her eyes. She smirked. That trick wasn’t going to work on her. She let go of the handle of her saingeom with her right hand and firmly held it in her off hand as she twisted her body around midair. Watching his body reform, she raised her left knee and let out a fierce warrior’s shout.

The demon was smiling to himself as he teleported behind her. Much to his surprise though, his eyes made contact with her narrowed eyes. His eyebrows rose.

He then let out a forced breath as her thick boot collided straight with the center of his body. His eyes went wide as he was flung back across the bathhouse. He fell onto a bench with his back hitting hard against the wall.

Rumi’s foot slammed against the bench next to him and he barely had the time to react to her next attack.

She bared her teeth and quickly pushed downward with her weapon towards his neck. She kept a firm grasp on it and even gripped the blade in her left hand to use all her strength and body weight to push down. Her eyes narrowed as she let out a trembling breath. She was putting everything she had into this.

Gritting his teeth, Jinu flashed his fangs and smirked as he grabbed the handle of saingeom in his left hand and braced his right hand against her left to push back. “Heheheh.” He chuckled and his smirk grew. The glowing blue blade trembled between their constant struggle. “You’re strong.” He teased her.

That’s when he noticed.

His eyes trailed towards her right bicep where he had struck her. Between the shredded pieces of leather, underneath the streaks of blood, in between the gash marks, demon patterns wreathed across her skin. He let out a breath and his eyebrows rose.

Seeing where his gaze was, Rumi glanced over at her arm. Her eyes widened at her exposed patterns and she momentarily let her guard down.

Jinu took advantage of that single second of weakness. He quickly shoved her off him and away.

She stumbled back, her eyes still wide, and quickly covered her arm up with her left hand. She didn’t even care how it stung when she gripped the claw marks. She desperately just wanted to cover up her patterns.

“A Hunter who’s part demon?” He let out an amused cackle. He surely didn't expect that from the lead singer of Huntr/x.

Rumi withdrew more. Her breathing was beginning to grow unsteady and her heart was pounding inside her head. This couldn’t be happening. Not right now. Not when she was so close to turning the Honmoon golden.

Hearing the wall beside her crack and break, she flinched and closed both her eyes. A demon flew behind her followed by debris. Her head quickly snapped in the direction of the now hole in the wall. Seeing Zoey and Mira standing on the other side, her eyes grew wide.

She stepped further away from them with her eyes growing wider. She quickly reached back up with her hand and grabbed her arm to cover her demon patterns. She couldn’t let them see. She knew what would happen if they saw. Celine told her how they would react if they knew. She couldn’t stand the thought of losing them.

That’s when she noticed the two of them were calling out for her to help. A swarm of demons were surrounding them, cornering them. It was too much for just the two of them to handle on their own. They needed their leader.

A ringing started to fill Rumi’s ears. She couldn’t breathe anymore. Her head was throbbing and her chest was burning. She couldn’t let them see her patterns. She couldn’t let them know what she’s been hiding. She couldn’t lose their blind but loving trust.

Suddenly, a sharp pain snapped her out of her daze.

Her back felt like it had ignited with flames.

She let out a weak gasp. Her eyes shot wide and her pupils dilated. Her saingeom clattered to the floor beside her.

Standing behind her, Jinu chuckled with his fangs out. “Should have been watching your back.” He pulled his clawed hand away from her back and slipped to her side. Shreds of leather fell to the floor as blood dripped off his fingertips. He eyed the five gashes that stretched across her spine and smirked. “Later.” He suddenly drove his claws deep into her right thigh. His fingers went in knuckle deep before he harshly pulled them out.

Rumi let out a scream this time and collapsed to her hands and knees. She choked between pained breaths as she tried to process the dull aching feeling spreading through her body.

In the distance, she heard both Zoey and Mira calling out for her. Rather than being desperate cries for help though, this time they were shouts of concern.

Tears swelled up in Rumi’s eyes. She glanced over to see Jinu running off with a childish laugh. It infuriated her. She tried to push herself up to go after him but the pain in her leg made her grimace and fall back down.

“Rumi!” Zoey called out. She had her back pressed up against Mira’s. She had her hand on a demon’s face and was barely keeping it back and a single blade in her left hand. She was even using a leg to keep a demon pushed back.

“Are you okay?!" Mira spoke through clenched teeth. She had her woldo up and was pushing back against two demons who were beginning to over power her.

“Are you hurt badly?!”

“Rumi!”

“Rumi!”

Both of them had completely forgotten about their own predicament. The second they heard their friend scream in pain, their focus shifted. They didn’t care about what was happening to them. They were worried about Rumi.

With several strained breaths, Rumi stared at the bathhouse floor. She couldn’t let them see her patterns. She couldn’t let them know what she’s been hiding. She couldn’t lose their blind but loving trust.

She couldn’t lose them.

Gritting her teeth, Rumi closed her eyes. Tears fell down her face as she shoved the pain away. Picking her saingeom off the floor, she let out a fierce shout mixed with agony as she forced herself up to her feet with her left leg. With wide eyes, she used her whole body weight to toss her blade forward. It spun around, beheading and striking the demon in front of Zoey down.

As her weight shifted to her right leg, she gasped and fell back down to one knee. Her hands balled into tight fists and her shoulders rose. She knew she had to get back up.

Feeling the pressure being let off them just faintly, the two other Hunters took their chance. Zoey shoved the demon whose face she held back and summoned a second shin-kal. The demon stumbled back into a group and she took a step forward. Meanwhile, Mira shoved aside a whole group with the help of her lengthy polearm.

With a trembling breath, Rumi let out a shout as she pushed herself back up onto her feet. She choked back on the stabbing pain radiating throughout her whole leg and ignored the unsteady feeling she had with each step she took. She sprinted between the two of her friends and gritted her teeth. It hurt so much to move.

She let out several ragged breaths and she ran up towards her saingeom that was lodged into the floor. She snatched it by the handle and ran ahead with the blade behind her. It grazed across the floor and sent sparks all around before slicing through a demon that was trying to crawl through the Honmoon.

As it turned to dust, Zoey flipped around and brought her shin-kal against the floor with a grunt. It sent out a shockwave that pushed the demons around her stumbling back. Her eyes locked on a demon trying to crawl through the Honmoon on the wall and she quickly lunged towards it and stabbed it. It burst into dust as she ran across the wall slicing at the other demons trying to crawl through.

Jumping off the wall, she summoned all six of her ceremonial daggers and held them up. She tossed all of them and each of them struck down a demon around Rumi. Zoey had cleared an easier path for her and the lead singer couldn’t have been more happy.

Rumi was barely keeping herself on her feet. Her vision was growing spotty and she couldn’t catch her breath. She had jumped onto a pillar and used her left leg to launch herself off. She flipped around in the air before bringing her blade down on top of a demon who turned to dust. As she landed, a crippling pain shot through leg and traveled up into her back. She grimaced and hissed before pushing onward as she sprinted around the edge of a bathtub and by Mira.

The redhead used her woldo to sweep across a wide area as she passed by. Her attention fell onto Rumi for a moment. She was bleeding. Badly. Mira knew she wasn’t going to be on her feet for much longer. They had to end this. Quickly. Narrowing her eyes, she fully locked in.

She spun around with her polearm, taking anything and everything with her. Keeping with her momentum as she turned around, she jumped backwards while tossing her weapon up in the air. It flipped around and as it came falling back down, Mira slammed her feet against it with a heavy impact that sent it flying.

The curved blade went straight through the mouth of a demon and impaled it against a bathtub.

As the demon turned to magenta dust, Rumi came running up. She was starting to feel light headed. Everything around her was growing distant and muffled. Grabbing the end of the polearm, she flipped herself around it. The momentary relief from not standing on her injured leg was a welcoming feeling even though it didn’t last long. After slashing at a demon, she landed back on her feet and let out a harsh breath from pain.

Mira ran back over while grabbing onto her weapon. She spun around it, kicking at a demon on the ceiling who was trying to crawl through the Honmoon.

Hopping from one head to another, Zoey jumped off a demon and grabbed onto Mira’s woldo. She spun around it, slicing and cutting down a demon.

Completely in sync, the main rapper of Huntr/x jumped off and landed on her feet just as Mira landed on her feet and pulled her weapon free to spin around her.

Running back towards them, Rumi closed one eye. Her vision was starting to blur. Her heart was racing so fast it was starting to hurt her chest. Her lungs were screaming and her rib cage felt like it was shattering between each of her second long breaths. She knew she wasn't going to last much longer. She just needed to hold out for a moment more.

Using her left leg, she jumped up onto Zoey’s arms. Zoey swallowed hard when she saw the blood trailing down Rumi’s leg. Taking a deep breath, she pushed her friend up.

Launching herself into the air, the lead singer of Huntr/x raised her glowing blue saingeom above her head in her right hand. She threw her whole body into the downward swing and let out a warrior’s shout.

Her blade struck the ground and sent a ripple throughout the Honmoon that pushed down and trapped the remaining demons down below to the depths from where they came.

Everything fell silent. Panting, Zoey placed her hands on her knees. Even Mira braced herself with a hand on her hip.

On one knee, Rumi remained still. She wasn’t even breathing anymore. Her eyes were half closed and a ringing filled her ears. Her body had reached its limit. She let her saingeom disappear and glanced tiresomely at her right arm, at her demon patterns. There was no hiding them anymore. She didn’t have the strength to.

She let out a weak, barely audible sound while falling forward.

Her vision turned black and she collapsed onto the bathhouse floor.
