I didn't though the truth could hit me this hard. The truths that I had always known. How can I face him now?
Rin wasn't ordinary as anyone, yet he was ordinary to me. That was the quote I had in my mind since I met him... until I saw him yesterday. His demonic power has finally awakened. The young master that the demon had been looking for. That I have wanted
to meet...
Even if I am the same as him, born of a demon and a human. Yet, I am weak, weaker than Yukio. I couldn't posses that power Rin has. The power that I was supposed to have was too strong for my body. It destroyed my body to move and so I needed help countless
of times.
The raindrops are flowing down on my umbrella, the umbrella that Yukio held for me. In front of me, I see Rin. I wanted to say something, but I know my words won't cheer him up. I wanted to hug him, but my hands can't move even if I try. My paralyzed
body is so useless right now. I hate this.
"Let's leave him alone" I heard Yukio said.
His voice sounded like a whisper, it sounds so far away and it gave me a pain in my heart. Yukio was hurt as much as Rin... as well as I am. My childhood friends who always make me smile and my father who took care of me, he is now gone. Even though
he wasn't my origin father nor was he to them, he was very dear to us.
On that day, we were fully prepared for Rin's awakening. Early in the morning, he mentions about the Kurikara couldn't hold his power anymore, and we needed to prepare for the demons when they come after Rin. That day everything happened so fast.
So fast that I didn't though today would be the same. Rin called him. The chairman of True Cross Academy and in fact an exorcist, Mephisto Pheles, was the man Rin called. Why must he give the number to that... pink... man (the hell he is) for Rin to call?
Why of all people?
"I'm going to be an exorcist, Emiko. I'm leaving for the True Cross Academy now."
Today, he's leaving me to True Cross Academy. I don't want him to go. I don't want to lose both him and Yukio. Even though Yukio was going there anyway, but in Rin's case is different. So different I am scared for the both of them.
Dear Lord, you must protect them... or should I be the one to protect them? I stare at myself in the bathroom mirror.
I can suddenly feel my hand... it's moving.
... Or is all these feelings, even real?
I can hear someone is knocking on the door.
My eyes change its color...
Am I awakening too? How?
I can see my tail; it moves around in a funny way.
I look back at the mirror. I now know... the truth is... I want his power.
The young master's power.
And I smile...
