Heya guys, hope you're all doing good Here's the next chapter or the story, apologies for how long it's taken, I've been busy doing a lot of revision for my exams that are coming up very soon, so I have a question to ask you guys: would you rather I updated the story in longer chapters, maybe once a month or shorter chapter (like chapter 2) around every 2 weeks? I'd just like to know which would be easier for you guys
Also I've taken into account what one review said, so to make it easier to read, I haven't put the speech in italics, (however I used it for thoughts)
let me know if it's better this way
If you guys have any ideas for stories you want me to write as well I'm more than willing too, just leave them in a review or a pm and I'll do my best I'm open to any suggestion.
ENJOY GUYS AND LIKE ALWAYS, LEAVE A REVIEW (but don't be mean ;) ) : D xxx
Rin gazed listlessly out of the class window, watching the rain dash against the glass as the droplets snaked their way down the window to pool on the tattered ledge. He could hear yukio telling the class about the jikininki demon, but all he could think about was the dream. Sighing he turned his head back to the front of the class to find everyone looking at him expectantly.
"Uuuuuuhhh"
"Rin, are you going to give us an answer?" asked Yukio, pushing his glasses up his nose and tapping his desk.
"Uuuum, I uhhh wasn't listening" he stood up, forcing a grin and scratching the back of his head.
Yukio shook his head and sighed. "Rin, if you don't pay attention in class, it will come back on you out in the field, it could get you hurt. Or worse" he crossed his arms and frowned.
Rin dropped his pretence immediately and scowled "like I give a damn about any of that." images from his nightmare flashed through his mind and he clenched his fist as he felt red hot anger building up inside him.
The class stared at him in shock.
"Rin, you shouldn't say that" said Shiemi softly, her big eyes growing moist as she looked at him. The rest of the class remained silent as they waited for Rin's reply.
"Whatever"
The teen shrugged his bag over his shoulder as his friends gasped at him. "I'm outta here"
Yukio watched silently as his brother stalked out of the class.
"WHAT THE HELL?" yelled Bon as his got out of his seat to make after his rival. "WHY ARE YOU BEING SUCH A…"
"That's enough Suguro"
The class turned and looked at their mentor as he sighed and sat back down. "Just leave him"
"But…!"
"I'll deal with it later, just… leave him be for now" yukio kneaded his temple.
"Mr Okumura is Rin ok?" asked Shima as Bon sat back down huffing.
Yukio looked up at his class, they looked back worriedly.
"Honestly? I'm not sure."
Rin skulked down the corridor, the burning feeling in his gut slowly diminishing as he walked through the exit and made his way back to his dorm
"What the hell is wrong with me?"
He slammed the door to his room shut and threw himself down on his bed. He lay in silence for a few minutes before grabbing his hair roughly.
"GAAAH!"
Rin lost track of how long he lay on his bunk, the sky had grown dark outside his window and Yukio still hadn't returned.
Swinging his legs over the side of his bed he rose and made his way to the kitchen, silently passing Kuro as he made his rounds of the dorm. He padded barefoot down the dark corridor, hands in his pockets and eyes to the ground.
"Ukobach, I'm just grabbing a drink" he called as he grabbed a glass, filled it with water and began making his way back to his room. When he arrived, he placed the glass on his desk and slumped down in his chair. The bright light of the street lamp filtered into the dark room, causing shadows to dance across his wall and glittering off the silvered hilt of kurikara in the corner.
Staring out the window, Rin idly spun a pen through his fingers, looking at the clock. 11:10pm "Where the hell is Yukio?" he thought as he reached for his drink. He took a sip and went to put his drink back down when he heard it.
A whisper.
"quia Tenebrae consumer tu"
Suddenly he was on his feet, chair tumbling to the floor and water pooling across the mess of paper on the table as he stared out into the night, towards the lamp.
Towards the figure.
Rin's breath caught in his throat as he watched the stranger, unrecognisable in the unnatural lighting, darkness shrouded them. The shadow remained perfectly still, time seemed to cease as, slowly, it raised a hand and pointed towards the window where the young demon stood, frozen. The light seemed to dim and night began to fill the room, creeping tendrils edging across the walls and ceiling, coiling into black shapes.
"Vidisti. Ego tibi veniet"
Rin staggered backwards as the tendrils continued to spread, reaching for him with blackened fingers.
"n…NO!" he shouted, lighting his flames as the dark began to coil around him. The clawed hands faltered for a moment before engulfing him, dousing his flames in icy shadows, the cold spreading through his body as his strength faltered and he fell to his knees.
Yukio was walking through the deserted dorm, his glasses slipping slightly down his nose as he hurried to his room. That's when he had heard the shout.
Running down the corridor he burst into the bedroom. It was pitch black, but he could feel the cold biting into his face and catching in his chest as he breathed.
"what the.."
He reached into his belt for his guns before leaning for the light switch and flicking it.
Light engulfed the room, the darkness condensed briefly into an almost human form before dissipate through the window back into the night.
His brother lay on the face down on the floor.
"Rin Are you okay?"
Rin moaned and rolled onto his back and opened his eyes. Yukio paused.
They eyes, again. They did not belong to his brother, cat like and cold.
The young demon sat up, his eyes returning to normal so quickly Yukio wondered if he'd imagined it.
"I'm fine, don't get hung up on it" replied Rin, dark hair hiding his face, refusing to look.
Yukio sighed
"Rin. We need to talk"
Outside the dorm, a dark figure paused and looked up at the only lit window, the shadow of the two teens were outlined against the bright shine of the light.
The figure hissed, a pair of razor teeth glimmering dimly in the night as it turned and disappeared into the night.
Soon.
