Hiya everyone~

Thank-you for reading this story of mine! When I opened my laptop and saw that there were views of my first chapter, I got so happy, tears almost formed. Thanks especially for PrincessofFlamesx. You have no idea how happy I got when I read your review. Well, everyone has now pretty much gotten sick of me saying thanks, but I'll say it a billion times if I can. THANKS SO MUCH~!

I apologize for any spelling or grammar mistakes. I have a very erratic writing style, so I may also switch POVs or tenses without knowing it. Feel free to correct me of any errors I have made so that I can go back to change them, and I appreciate any criticisms you give me. I'm a complete newbie at this after all~

Anyways, right after I submitted my first chapter, I remembered about the disclaimer...Well, that's why I'm doing it here! ^.^

DISCLAIMER- I do not own Ao no Exorcist, only this story. If I did own it, well, it would be a thousand times less awesome!

Well, let's get on with the story now!

Yukio worriedly gripped the sword Kurikara which Mephisto threw to him, right after Arthur Auguste Angel dragged Rin away, in both his hands as he thought about what his older brother might be going through at this very moment.

'Are they torturing him? Did the Grigori sentence him to death? Just because he protected everyone from The King of Earth, Amaimon?! It's my fault anyways. I should have protected the students better. Nii-san shouldn't have to go through this just because of my mistakes. I have to help him!...But how is the question here...Hopefully Mephisto manages to persuade them not to execute nii-san. That clown could be very persuasive when he wants to. Argh, worrying won't solve anything, I need to do something, anything, to he-'

"Dammit, what's the son of Satan doing here?!" a voice angrily cried out, shaking Yukio out of his rather depressing thoughts. It was Suguro, Yukio noted.

He was sitting down in a chair, the same as almost everyone else, in one of True Cross' hospital rooms provided for exorcists that get injured in battle. Every Exwire was sitting, surrounding the only one who laid in a hospital bed, Miwa Konekomaru. Miwa certainly had the worse injuries because of his broken arm. Everyone else had several scratches and bruises, but otherwise was okay. Only Takara had no injuries, as he did not participate in the battle at all, and such was the only one standing.

"W-why is he enrolled here in cram s-school anyways? H-he's a demon after all," Miwa stuttered.

"Okumura-sensei? Aren't you Okumura's twin brother?" Shima turned towards Yukio.

"Yes, but, I did not inherit the blue flames like nii-san. My body was too weak when I was born. I'm just as normal as all of you," Yukio said dully in response.

"Umm, Yuki-chan? What's going to happen to Rin?" Shiemi asked quietly.

"They may choose to execute him for what happen." At this, Shiemi gasped in horror.

'She was always a kind person, even as a child.'

"Why do you care?! He should be executed! He's the freaking bastard child of Satan after all! He's dangerous to us all," Suguro bursted up from his chair, leaving it clattering down on its side.

"Do you really believe that…" Yukio said quietly while looking at his lap.

"Nii-san is half-human as well as half-demon. It's not like he wanted to be the son of Satan," he continued without waiting for a response. "Besides, our real father was Father Fugimoto."

Everyone was stunned into silence, and soon after, their heads lowered in shame. Yukio could practically feel their guilt over what has been said and done, Suguro and Miwa especially.

As soon as that tense, silenced filled moment reached its peak, the door flew open revealing Shura. Her heavy breathing and sweat-filled face seemed to Yukio as if she ran all the way here. What caught his eye however, was the panic look her eyes seemed to give off.

'Strange, Shura has never once looked this way before. Even during a battle, she always has an air of calm confidence around her. Wait, there's only one possibility why she's acting like this…Something's happen to nii-san…'

His fears were soon confirmed as Shura's next words left her mouth.

"Four-eyes! Rin was taken!

Complete darkness. It enveloped Rin in its comforting embrace. It seemed to him that there was nothing but darkness. No pain, no sadness, nothing. Just darkness. It seemed to him as if he was falling deeper and deeper into a great black ocean. A sense of foreboding rose up, as if something about this wasn't right.

'What's going on…Why am I here…No…I need to get out, back to Yukio and everyone…Ah, but it's so nice here. No! I can't think about that. I'm sure that worrywart is tearing off his hair by now and is completely bald. Plus, I promised Kuro that I wont' leave him alone. And...Shura's probably gonna beat me up if I miss training. I..need…to…WAKE UP!'

With a strength that doesn't seem possible, he struggled and fought, just to keep himself from falling deeper and deeper. Soon a light above him.

'A light? Will that get me out of here? Back to where everyone else is?'

So he mustered up the last reserves of his strength just to reach it, and when he got close enough that only that blindingly white light filled everything around him, Rin woke up with a start.

That white light that he saw before turned out to be the pristine ceiling of a hospital room. Except, he wasn't in a bed. It was a metal surgical table. He was lying flat on his back, his body strapped down with metal cuffs on both his wrists and upper arms as well as his ankles and knees. All around him, there were people in lab coats wearing surgical masks. Rin turned and saw several needles on a tray next to the surgical table. All were empty and had blood on their tips. His blood. They were already used before he woke up, Rin realized.

'What...the…hell?! Where am I?! Ah, fuck that. I need to get out of here!'

"Ah, it looks like our subject has woken up," one of the lab-coats said.

"Hmm…The drug wasn't supposed to wear off until another hour though," another remarked.

"No problem, it doesn't matter if he's awake or not at this point. The anesthesia should still make him too weak to do anything."

"You shitheads…Le.. me gwo… It hurts…" Rin slurred groggily… He tried to see if he can break out of the bonds, but they were right. He couldn't even move his arms and legs, they were numb. A massive headache also did not help in matters. Making one of his blue flames appear was out of the question as well.

"That's a no. But don't worry. This drug will make you forget all about the pain, as well as a couple of other things as well," one of them answered him while brandishing a syringe filled with a red liquid this time.

'No.'

"Now, hold still, not like you have a choice anyways." The syringe went close and closer to his neck, and it seemed to him as if time was in slow-motion.

'No, please, no!'

Rin's eyes opened wide and filled with panic and fear. Even though it was futile, he still struggled against the metal cuffs frantically, just to get away.

'I don't want to forget! I don't want to forget about Yukio, or Shiemi... Not even about Bon or Eyebrows as well... Please no, DON'T!'

"No…" Rin weakly protested. All he could do was watch wide-eyed. "Yuki-"

As soon as he said that, the needle punctured his skin, and the liquid was dispelled quickly, going into his bloodstream. And quickly enough, his whole body felt like it was being engulfed in his blue flames, being burned from the inside out. He was too weak to even scream out in pain. And then, nothing, he felt nothing as the darkness appeared again and everything started to fade out.

"Goodbye, because when you wake up. You won't be Rin Okumura anymore."

And that was the last thing he heard before he gave into the void.

"Taken?! What do you mean he was taken?!" Yukio exclaimed as he shot up out of his seat.

"Exactly what I said yew damn four-eyes! He was taken by a bunch of exorcists I have never seen before!" Kirigakure-sensei quickly retorted in response.

"What?! Did they decide to execute him?! Where is he now?!" Yukio grabbed her arms as if that would give him the answers faster.

His students have never seen him like this before, especially Shiemi. She always thought of him as a calm and level-headed person, incapable of fear and panic.

'Yuki-chan must really be worried for Rin.'

"Let me go and let me talk! Freaking out won't 'elp Rin," she angrily shook him off.

"…You're right…I'm sorry…Please, what happen?" Yukio said, while trying to calm himself down.

"Right. So, he's not being executed." Shiemi released a breath she wasn't even aware that she was holding.

"But, I don't know where 'e is. When the damn baldie finally released me and I can go look for Rin, he, along with the people who took 'im, were gone." Kirigakure-sensei drew a breath. "And…the Grigori said something about re-educating Rin."

"Re-educating?" Shima-san lifted an eyebrow in confusion. "What? You mean more school for him? Don't the Grigori know that Okumura's an idiot?" He gave a shaky laugh at this.

"Never mind this dumbass…" Suguro-san sighed, to which Shima-san yelled in protest. "What should we do about this?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Kamiki-san said bluntly. Everybody turned to her in surprise. They forgot she was there, since Kamiki-san didn't say a word yet. "We go look for him."

"B-but he could be anywhere within the Order!" Konekomaru-san protested.

"That's why we should start now."

And that's it~
I just realized that this chapter is a lot longer than the other one. I'm really sorry if anybody seems OOC. I tried my best though :3
Anyways, school coming up really soon for me (less than a week, so updates might be slower when that time comes. I'll try to post another chapter before that, but no promises O_o

See ya~
