A/N: So sorry this chapter took so long! I've been really busy studying for finals and stuff :/ I do not own Ao No Exorcist nor any of the characters!
Rin awoke the next morning to a pounding headache. He placed his hand on his forehead and groaned as he turned over in his bed towards the wall. He tried to remember what had happened the day before, but the last thing he remembered was sitting on the ground by Yukio's desk in pain. Rin turned his head behind him to look at the alarm clock. The clock read as 9:30 AM SAT. He turned back over and sighed, when he felt his stomach make a weird noise.
"Guess I better eat something, I haven't eaten since yesterday's lunch." Rin sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed. His headache hadn't gone away, but his hunger overpowered the headache like his hunger usually overpowered anything else. The front door opened and Yukio walked in carrying a brown paper bag.
"Rin, you're awake, how do you feel?" Yukio placed the bag down on the coffee table and took out a bottle of pills, walking over to Rin.
"Better I guess... What's that?"
"Mephisto made them for you, they're a special kind of medicine that has to be custom made. It will make it so that what happened yesterday is less likely to happen again in the future." Yukio placed two pills in Rin's hand and handed him the glass of water that was on his bedside table.
"Yukio?"
"Hm?"
"What happened to me yesterday? Why did I do that?"
Yukio froze. He knew if he told his brother that he was poisoned he would have to explain why he was poisoned and then he would have to explain why he didn't tell him in the first place. The chance of it going over well was slim to none.
"Yukio?" The younger twin snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Rin. "What happened?" Rin noticed the nervousness in Yukio's eyes, which lead him to believe that Yukio knew something.
Yukio looked down to the ground and sighed. "It was the True Cross Order... Do you remember when I had a break down a couple weeks ago?" Rin nodded. "Earlier that day I had a meeting with them. They had told me that your powers were becoming too strong, they found out about the outburst you had in the woods again. Also, your previous test results from the week before had come back showing that your human DNA was lessening. The real reason they asked me to inform you that you needed another physical exam and testing done was... was because..." Yukio cut himself off and started to feel himself shaking.
"...Because they want me dead..." Rin finished off his brothers sentence and looked away from him. He waited for Yukio to correct him, but heard nothing from his brother. Both their stomachs were churning, as if someone was slowly tearing apart their insides, but not in a painful way. Rin stood up and picked the Koma sword bag up from on his bed.
"Where are you going?" Yukio looked up at Rin, who was walking towards the door leading out.
"Out," Rin's voice was harsh and cold, but Yukio couldn't blame him. He just told his brother that he had tried to send him away to get executed. What was he expecting his reaction to be? Okay with it? Happy? No. Rin had every right to be damn pissed at Yukio, whether he liked it or not.
Rin closed the door behind him and walked out of the dorm and down the road. It was pouring with rain, harder than it had in quite some time, but it didn't bother him. Does he really want me dead? Maybe I could do them all a favor and do it myself. But how the hell would they kill me? The poison didn't feel like it was going to kill me, just make me sick. And last time Yukio and I fought Satan, we didn't kill him. We just destroyed the gates temporarily. So how would they do it? Rin stopped and realized that he had walked right to the front of the other boy's dorm. He walked inside, and tried to remember what room Shima, Konekomaru and Bon were in. He didn't want to exactly be alone right now, but he didn't want to see Yukio's face. As Rin got to the dorm room of his classmates, he felt anger building up inside him. Rin tried to calm down, but it only got worse. Shit. Rin ran back down the stairs and outside, he knew if he couldn't calm down soon he would lose it again. Shura had taught him how to feel when his anger was building up and how to calm himself down, but it didn't always work. Like the last time it happened, which must've been the time that the True Cross Order noticed.
Rin jumped behind a couple trees and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and flipped it open. Yukio, Yukio... He clicked on Yukio's contact and pressed 'call'. It's not that he wanted his brother here, but he wasn't stupid enough to just think it was going to pass.
"Hello?" Yukios voice sounded hoarse.
"G-get over h-here now... Yukio..." Rin found it hard to get his words out, he was running out of usable breath.
"Rin! Where are you?"
"Boy's d-dorm. For..forest."
Yukio heard a loud, painful yell come from the other end of the call as the call dropped.
