Chapter 2
Rin fought back the urge to rip apart the blonde watching him, as he quickly caught his old classmate and held the teen against him. The brunette n' blonde limp in his arms, while the half-demon looked at him worry and a doctor quickly rushed over to them. The half-demon not paying any attention to the doctor checking over Bon, as the teen looked up at the Paladin and let out a growl.
"Don't growl at me, Okumura. He would've devoured you if I let him be." Angel spoke, glaring at the teen and replacing his sword in it's sheath.
"Devoured me? What in the hell are you talking about, Angel?" Rin demanded, barring his fangs and growling at the man. "Ryuji was just-"
"Suguro is under a demonic virus." The doctor spoke up, before he looked under the tightly wrapped bandages the half-demon had put on him. "The bite is swollen and is tinted black, and he didn't lose as much blood as he should've. He also attacked you sexually, which was probably due to the viruses effects."
"So he didn't mean to do that?" Rin asked, looking down at the exorcist in his arms and felling his cheeks flush. "That was the demonic virus?"
The doctor gave him a nod, just as Shima and Miwa ran over to them. The pink-haired teen the first one to notice, between the two of them, the blood stained bandages on the brunette n' blonde and stare at the exorcist in worry.
"He's alright for now, but we should get him to the Order's American Branch Clinic." The doctor spoke, turning to Rin. "Were you the first one to make physical contact with him?"
"Yeah." Rin mumbled, as he looked down at the limp teen in his arms and the doctor stood up.
"Then you're going to have to carry him." The doctor spoke, making the half-demon stare up at the man in confusion. "You were the first to make physical contact with him, so I'd rather not have him wake up because you're not with him. Whatever this virus is it seems to react to you and your physical contact with him. If we have someone else carry him he might think you're hurt or elsewhere in trouble. He'll get protective and try and find you. So our best bet is to keep you two together as much as possible, until I can get a good look at him. Then we can go from there."
"Fine." Rin sighed, before he carefully stood up with the exorcist in his arms and glared at the Paladin. "But you owe me an explanation, you ass. You said there was a herd of Hobgoblins at your location. What the hell happened to them?"
"I lied. I was just following my orders to keep you close. " Angel shrugged, making Rin let out a growl.
"You asshole. You're lucky I don't drop him and rip you apart!" The half-demon practically yelled. "I'm not your damn pet!"
"Can it, Okumura. The last thing we need is to wake him up."
"Whatever."
"Don't worry, Rin-chan! We'll come with you!" Shima spoke up, instantly getting a look of disapproval from the Paladin.
"You two are going back to True Cross Academy." The Paladin ordered, as the two teens flinched. "You're lucky I let Suguro drag you along. The two of you are going to be late for classes, anyway."
"We'll be fine guys." Rin spoke up, when they looked at the two teens in worry. "I'll watch Ryuji."
Rin let out a sigh of relief, as he sat on the bench outside the operating room and his tail comfortably laid beside him. The soft glow of his blue flames dancing under the door, while the teen leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. The moment his comrade, and friend, got bit by that demon flashing through his head; before he forced his eyes open and glared down at his lap.
"I wasn't fast enough this time, either."
"He's still alive though." A cheerful voice spoke, making the half-demon look up from his lap to see the redheaded exorcist he didn't need to see at the moment grinning at him. "I already read his medical chart and did the tests."
"What do you want this time, Scarlett?" Rin demanded, while she gave him a huff and crossed her arms over her chest.
"I don't want a thing this time, Rin-chan." She spoke, before she walked over and sat beside him. "I just thought you'd want the news before they gave it to you."
The half-demon let out a sigh, as he glanced at the redhead next to him. Her long knee-length hair tied back in a ponytail, and laying on the seat beside his tail, while her blue eyes looked toward the wall. The exorcist pin clipped into her hair tie and a black tank top on her upper half. A pair of torn and tattered black skinny jeans on her lower half and black tennis shoes. The teen's guns hidden somewhere behind her back in the mess of red hair.
"So, you going to tell me the verdict then?" Rin asked, making the girl turn her head and gave him a calculating glance. "What?"
"Promise me you won't burn down my branch."
"What's with you and my flames?" Rin demanded, growling at her. "I have complete control!"
"It's not that!" She spoke quickly, holding up her hands in defense. "It's just I own the American Branch and the last thing I need is it burning to a crisp. The Order will fire me!"
"Alright, Fine." Rin huffed, as Scarlett let out a breath of relief beside him. "Tell me what's wrong with him."
"First of all, the virus is active." The redhead spoke, making the demon look at her. "Your touch activated it."
"What do you mean 'activated it'?"
"Demon viruses are a bit tricky, but they have one thing in common. The way they activate." The teen spoke, as the demon gave her a small nod. "They activate in three ways. One, the demon who transfers it activates is. Two, the demon set a time limit till when it activates and the virus activates at the end of the time limit. The last way is by the touch of someone else, preferably by demon blood.
Suguro's virus was activated by your touch, not by a time limit or the demon who gave it to him. From what Angel told me, you burned the demon after it hurt him. So there wasn't enough time to activate it or put a timer with it. I was also told he 'attacked' you in a way not long afterwards."
The half-demon's face instantly flushed, before he quickly looked down at his lap and Scarlett softly chuckled.
"He did kiss me." Rin mumbled, making the redhead gave him a nod. "But it felt like-"
"More than that." She finished, before the demon nervously nodded. "Well, we figured out the cause of it."
"It's the virus isn't it?" Rin softly asked, as he stared down at the floor.
"Unfortunately it is. We took a blood sample and I looked at it. It's a fairly rare virus, that has been unnamed for some time, and is fairly dangerous if not dealt with immediately."
"Is it that bad?"
"If you want to stay a virgin."
Instantly the demon's face turned bright red, before he turned and glared at the exorcist next to him. His heart rate sky rocketing, as he gripped his jeans and his tail lashed against the seat. A giggle coming from the girl next to him.
"Quit messing around." Rin growled, looking away to avoid her gaze. "We both know this is another one of your messed up games."
"Sadly, it isn't." Scarlett sighed beside him, while she got up and stretched. "This is far from one of my games, Rin-chan. This is reality and that demon gave Suguro a typed of incubus like virus. A fairly dangerous one at that.
It's designed to make whoever carries the virus to "crave", in a sense, the first person he comes in physical contact with; which was you. He'll start, almost immediately, to try and protect you and keep you safe with him. He'll stay close to you and keep you close to him, even if it means hurting someone else. You'll be his first responsibility and the most important. It'll be like a sixth sense to him, almost-"
"Demonic." Rin finished, while the girl turned to him and gave him a nod. "There's more to it, isn't there?"
"Yes, there is."
"What then?"
"His behavior will continue, until he "mates" with you in a sense." She spoke, making the demon's face turned a deep cherry red. "You're a half-demon, and as long as he carries the virus he is too. So, there's no point in putting glitter and gems all over the situation. He'll want you even if neither of you like one another. "It's his new instinct, till you've mated."
"What happens after we…you know."
"The virus will kill itself off." Was her simple answer, as the half-demon gaped at her. "What? you didn't think it was that simple?"
"Hell no!"
"Well, it is." She shrugged, just as the door opened to the operating room. "How's he doing Kira-chan?"
"He's fine now." The young doctor spoke, handing her his clipboard. "I take it you told him?"
"You know me so well." She teased, gently tapping the clipboard on top of the younger's head. "Did he behave well?"
"With Okumura-kun's flames near him, he was relatively calm while he was unconscious." The doctor spoke, before he looked at the half-demon. "Apparently, with your flames present, he knew you were safe and close."
"I can't keep them going from more than two miles away from my location." Rin spoke, as he slowly stood up and didn't bother looking into the room.
"Then that would explain his calm attitude."
"You going to move him?" Scarlett asked, the half-demon throwing her a cautious glance.
"Yeah, I was going to get Trey and Treavor to move him."
"Then put him in hall X, in the last room." She ordered, before she gave them the half-demon a smile and started walking off. "They're going to need some privacy."
Before either of the two teens could argue, she was out of sight and no longer in the half-demon's range.
"I have a real bad feeling about this."
"Here we are." Trey happily spoke, as him and his twin carefully pushed his old classmate's hospital bed to the empty spot waiting for it. "Hope it's lively enough for yah two."
"Whatever." Rin mumbled, looking around the white room that smelled like disinfectant.
"We'll leave you two alone, before he wakes up." Treavor spoke, slapping a hand over his older twin's mouth to shut him up; before he said something stupid. "You probably want some time to think, before he gains consciousness."
"Yeah."
The younger twin gave him a nod, before he dragged his older twin out of the room and closed it behind him. The room going silent, as the half-demon sighed and leaned against the white wall. The teen wanting nothing more than to leave the room he was in and get as far away as he could. This whole virus mess was too much for him to handle with all at once and the last thing he needed was to be in the same room with the older. Bon was a great guy, but the last thing he was ever going to do was bend over backwards for him and submit. Yeah, him and Bon were on great terms; but not in that way. Sure the guy kept him out of trouble and kept his head on straight, but he knew Bon didn't think of him that way. His comrade and old classmate had trained hard to get where he was and there was no way he had any feelings for the demon. He had always joked about the younger being the son of Satan and they always got into fights. There was no way Bon liked him at all. That kiss had been the viruses fault. The protective and love filled gaze was the viruses fault. Bon didn't love him, let alone care about him in that way. He was a demon, a monster, and the order saw him as such. He was a weapon and no one could love a weapon. They were meant to be used till they were empty and broken, and that was where the demon almost was. If it wasn't for Bon pulling him off the battlefield every once in a while, then he would be dead by now. He'd be empty and broken, and no one would care about him anymore.
He could die right now and no one would care, but that was only the painful truth. Yeah, Yukio would care about him; but he was his little brother and that was expected. Just like if Yukio died he would care. Yukio was his little brother and his family. Nothing would change that, but outside that very small circle of family where were they? What did they have outside that little circle of family? Friends? Comrades? Could he even call those people comrades? Those exorcists, or even Angel that had been ordered to kill him at the second he'd lose himself. Right, he was alone. He was all alone and no one was there to care from him. Even Yukio was too busy with the new wave of Pages for the next generation of exorcists. The four eyes was too caught up in his studies and teachings to care about him at the moment. He hadn't even responded to any of the letters he sent.
I mean how many of those damn letters had he written, even though his handwriting was horrendous? Ten? Fifteen? Maybe even twenty? What had he gotten? Right, nothing. So what good was he? What was his actual purpose in all this crap? Couldn't he be more than a weapon in someone's eyes?
It was then that the demon's phone started vibrating in his pocket. The teen not even bothering to pull it out and answer it, as he stared down at his pocket and tried to guess who it was. Then again, he didn't have to guess. Like a light switch, the demon turned the volume on his phone up, with a simple enchantment, and immediately heard the lyrics to an American song Scarlett had downloaded onto his phone.
'You PMS like a bitch, I would know!'
Yeah, it was Angel; again.
