It seemed I would never be rid of this pain.

But I was just...

I was so damn tired of being in this position.

With him in front of me, staring me down with those poisonous, aqua eyes of his.

I stared at Rin, my fists clenching at my sides. His did as well... I couldn't blame him, I guess, I looked pretty damn threatening.

"Why are you here!?" I growled.

No response. Then,

"Because you are."

Flames burst into life on his tan skin, his blue eyes blazing just as bright, just as angry.

I gritted my teeth. "You're a fucking monster... why don't you just get the hell out of my life!?" I screamed. My words echoed in the silence of the empty dorm. The demon before me just stared, his dark brows furrowed, the blue flames webbing across his skin without leaving a trace.

Dammit...

His face shattered as my fist slammed into the mirror, cutting open my knuckles and sending shards of glass onto the tile floor of the upstairs bathroom.

I crumpled to my knees, holding my bleeding hand and shaking. My eyes squeezed shut against the world, trying not to look. "I wish... you would just leave..." I hissed.

He ruined what I hadn't destroyed already...

I had a father, a family, and he took it.

I had a life, however rough, and he lost it.

I had friends, and he pushed them away.

I...

I'd had a soul and he...

He broke it.

I opened my eyes, and my tears fell onto a piece of broken mirror.

Rin stared up at me, crying.

And I watched him. I watched him, until I couldn't, and I shook my head.

"What..."

I brushed the piece of reflective glass away.

"What do you have to cry about? What have you lost? You're just a demon!"

"You're just-"

Me.

Sorry. I was taking a break from writing, but I'll get back into it slowly. So here, have an angst-y Rin fic, for old time's sake. :P

Hope you'll forgive me for taking my time!

Glad to be back, hope you enjoyed!
