BWA HA HA HA - I'M ALIVE!

And quite the absence I must say. Sheesh. I missed this.


He was standing in the middle of a clearing. A little girl stood beside him, her emerald eyes gleaming as she ran ahead of him. He raced after her, stopping when he saw her sitting in a large oak tree, the largest one in the forest.

And then he was sitting up there, next to her and looking into her eyes.

"You need to tell them someday, Rin," She chirped, swinging her legs with a smile.

He blinked. "Tell them what?"

She blinked, and then she gave him a childish smile.

"That you're dying, silly!"


Rin shot upwards, hitting his head on the top bunk. He groaned and glared at the wooden boards, his tail twitching beside him.

Glancing around the room, Rin breathed a sigh of relief as Yukio wasn't inside.

Wincing, he pulled himself upwards and gasped as bile started to rise in his throat, his body screaming at him to lay down.

But he couldn't do that. He had to go to school.

'I never thought I'd ever say that,' He thought dryly, but the bile was too hard to keep down, and internally cringing all the while, Rin dashed to the bathroom and promptly puked in a stall, gasping for air as his lungs felt like they were on fire. With mounting dread, he saw that mixed with his bile was crimson blood.

The urge to puke gone, Rin sighed and leaned against the wall, watching as the toilet was flushed and all remains of his 'episode' went with it.

'Dying really sucks,' He thought and headed out of the bathroom back towards his room, putting on a comical show so that Yukio wouldn't get suspicious.

But after hiding it for years and years… Rin wasn't so sure that Yukio even cared.


Yeah yeah yeah... short chapter, I know. But really, this means that an update will be soon! [And fast, too!]
