Shura Kirigakure has trained Rin and his classmates to become official Exwires. Despite her unorthodox methods and her skimpy outfits, Shura is one of the True Cross' most effective demon slayers. But now she is missing. Fearing she is in danger, Mephistopheles sends Rin and his brother Yukio to Shura's hometown province of Aomori, in the north, to locate their instructor and bring her back.
Rin thinks this is the perfect opportunity to talk with Yukio and figure out what is happening. In Blue Exorcist, Vol. 16, Yukio decided to put himself in harm's way to activate a latent power that dwells in him, but he has been unable to do so. He can't confess to Rin that he's worried he is slowly being possessed.
Their search in Aomori soon lead them to Shura, who has returned to the Dragon God, with whom she made a pact to deliver a child before her 30th birthday. Shura doesn't want kids, and she wants out of this arrangement, so she willingly allows the Dragon God to attack her, before being rescued by Rin and Yukio. She shares her story with them, explaining how she got here.
Returning to the temple, Rin and Yukio convince the Dragon God to let Shura go, but the Dragon God has a change of heart, and drags Shura with him to the depths of the lake. As she sinks to the bottom, Shura realizes she wants to live ...
The story continues in Blue Exorcist, Vol. 18.
