Hello! I'm back and NOT dead as many of you may have thought! School sucks and with endless homework and writers block it took a while. Sorry. Hopefully I'll be able to update more regularly when my life isn't a shit-tip. Please review.
Ciao!
Rin woke up with a start, his eyes adjusting to the darkness that surrounded him. He was in a… Y'know what? I have no idea. It was like a bottomless pool, the water like thick leathery tendrils caressing him; making him shudder. He could hear something, he didn't know what. It was like thick earmuffs were on his head, then he recognised the noise. Screams.
"AAAAAAAAARGHHHhhhhhhhhuh?" Rin opened his eyes once again, this time sure he was awake as cold rushed through his body making him shiver. But where was he? As his eyes scanned his surroundings he realised he was somewhere on school campus, the statues of a grinning Samael were obvious enough.
Gah! Oh my head, what happened?
You must've sleepwalked or somethin'
All the way out here?
He heard the voice grow agitated.
I DUNNO! Let's just get back to the dorm.
Not wanting to agitate the voice further, Rin headed back to the dorm, remaining unaware of what had occurred.
When Rin re-entered he tried to be as quiet as possible so as not to disturb Yukio. He failed. The lights flicked on making Rin jump.
"Where have you been?" Yukio snapped.
Rin had to think quick, if he took too long Yukio would think he was lying and if he said it too quickly Yukio would still think he was lying.
"I-I was out for a walk!" Rin cursed himself for stuttering.
"Oh really? At 3 in the morning?" Yukio said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Yeah, did I fucking stutter?" Rin surprised himself with his answer. Where had that come from? It seemed to surprise Yukio just as much as it did Rin, they both went back to bed without a word. Confused.
What happened? Rin asked.
I dunno. Maybe you decided not to be a pussy and stand up for yourself.
Yeah, but I'd never say that to Yukio.
Well ya did, congratulations, go to sleep.
But-
Go. To. Sleep
A wave of drowsiness washed over Rin and before he knew it he was completely asleep. Still wondering what the hell happened.

Yukio was worried about Rin. He'd been acting so weird lately. He was constantly spacing out, which, though not unusual for Rin, was still worrying. Last night had only worsened his suspicions. An outburst like that in Rin would never come unprovoked. There was something strange going on and he had to get to the bottom of it. After his last lesson in the cram school – covering for Shura because she had a 'headache' (hangover)- Yukio managed to catch up with Shiemi and ask what she thought about Rin's strange behaviour.
"I'm worried, it's so unlike Rin. Last time he saw me I tried to…. Well…. I tried to talk to him and he just spaced out completely as if he was having another conversation" Shiemi's eyes began to cloud with tears. Yukio felt bad for the poor girl, she probably thought she had done something that made Rin ignore her. Yukio had a feeling this had nothing to do with that.
"I'm sure it's just Rin being Rin, It'll pass I'm sure" Yukio talked like Rin was going through a phase, 'Mom mode' was activated. He told Shiemi about Rin's outburst and she gasped in shock at what Rin had said. And to his own brother no less! This was so unlike him, she thought. Maybe there's something happening that we don't know about.
"Yeah. Rin being Rin." Shiemi sighed sullenly. Noting her sadness, Yukio made an attempt to reassure her that Rin was okay.
"I'm sure he'll be fine, don't worry." He said a note of sympathy making his voice seem calming. After Yukio walked away, leaving Shiemi worried. She headed home. After heading into the shop to say hello to her mother, Shiemi went out to tend to her garden. But it wasn't there. All that was there was a small wasteland of ash and broken leaves. Greenmen were running amok, making small noises of distress. When they saw Shiemi they came over looking for safety. Shiemi didn't even notice them. She dropped to her knees, tears blurring her eyes and staining her cheeks. There was a rage bubbling up inside her that she didn't even know she had. Because when she looked at where her favourite part of the garden had been, now nothing but smouldering ash a small flame still flickered with life.
A blue flame.
Rin was back in his water-like abyss. This time he heard crunches and squeals. This time was strange. He felt his energy draining slowly, as if he was using his flames. A bright blue light shone above him, feeling as if he had no other choice he swam towards it, heat searing his face as he swam nearer. He ignored the pain, only one thought was in his mind.
Escape
When Rin finally reached the light he woke up. Once again, he didn't know where he was or how he had got there. Rin jumped as a poof of pink smoke accompanied by chibi anime characters that could only be recognised by the most devoted of fans.
"JESUS CHRIST! Wait. YOU CLOWN BASTARD!" Rin shouted as a grinning Samael appeared before him.
"That's not a nice way to greet your saviour" Samael grinned maliciously.
"What do you m-" Saviour? Rin was confused. He didn't know where he was and was talking to an overdressed weeaboo. Pissed was an understatement.
"All with be explained in time ototo~" Samael sang. He was mocking Rin. Rin's face was turning a shade of red that made him look like a beetroot.
"WHA-" Before he could say anything Samael poofed away, Rin inwardly cursing Satan for conceiving the shit-eating grin that was Samael, King of Time.
Hello again, welcome to the end of yet another chapter. Can you guess what happened to Shiemi's garden? Plz don't ask how her Mother somehow didn't notice a destroyed garden right in front of her. Please review if you want more. Love all y'all.
Peace! =)
