Hello, it's me again.

Time for chappy 10!

"What have I done..."

Rin was so lost, his vision was blurring in and out of view in a haze of panicked adrenaline. His hands were shaking, and his knees were beginning to buckle under his weight, the exhaustion was creeping in once again, but he forced himself to stay awake.

Slowly he reached out to Yukio's face to brush his hair with a trembling hand but refrained before he could touch his pale skin. He couldn't, no he wouldn't touch him. His hands shook rapidly at the thought of being the cause of Yukio's pain, these hands hurt people, therefore he was dangerous.

"But I can't just let him die here!" Rin forced out through clenched teeth.

He reached out once more towards Yukio's broken form and slid his hands gently under his torso, preparing to pick him up bridal style, he lifted him gently off of the floor so that he lay slumped across his arms and his head used his own chest as a pillow.

"I'm so sorry Yukio," Rin whispered as he began to walk towards the door.

However, before he could get there the door burst open and Rin was sent sliding to his knees with Yukio still unresponsive in his arms. He was shocked out of his stupor however when a girl cried out in front of him.

"Bon!" They cried looking around Bon's broad shoulders, for he was stood in the middle of the doorway, and cried out. "Yuki!"

"Shiemi! Please help him!" Rin pleaded.

"Oh my god Rin you're okay! But what happened to Yuki!" She started to run forwards to help the older Okumura when a strong arm pulled her back, her eyes flashed back startled only to find dark brown ones daring her to break free.

"Stay back, he's dangerous," Bon commanded.

"Not this again!" Izumo complied.

"Yuki needs our help! We can't just stand here and watch him suffer!"

"No, but Rin is magically awake and Yukio is half dead, this has got to be some sick joke!"

"You're not implying that...Rin did this, are you?" Konekomaru whispered uncertainly.

"Maybe, maybe I'm not, but it sure looks that way to me."

"You don't know anything!" Shiemi cried. " All you do is judge people! This is wrong and you know it, now Yukio is pretty out of it right now so why don't we be the exwires were supposed to be and help them!"

"Fine, but Rin comes with me," Bon decided.

"At this point, I don't care what you want, just tend to Yukio," Rin muttered. He then stood up off the floor gently placing Yukio on his bed, and squeezed his brother's hand tightly before leaving.

"Please take good care of him." He whispered.

*~/0\~*

Bon didn't really know why he wanted Rin to come with him, but he said it and now he was going through with it, and to his displeasure, the half demon just wouldn't keep up.

"Where are we going?"Rin muttered.

Bon spun around on his heel to face Rin in a huff.

"Currently? Nowhere because you keep stopping!"

"I'm sorry" Rin whispered.

"For what? Stopping or everything?"

"Everything...?"

"Oh, don't play dumb with me!"

"I don't understand.."

" You hurt Yukio didn't you!" He accused.

"W-what?" Rin stuttered.

"You heard me, I saw you in there you had him pinned !"

"No, I can expl-"

Bon ran forward and grasped Rin by the scruff of his neck pinning him to a wall.

"Explain what! That you almost killed him! He's your own brother for Pete's sake!"

"Bon you need t-"

"I don't need to do anything! It's you who needs to get your act together." Bon spat the words like sparks in a hungry flame.

"No, you don't understand." Rin's voice grew panicked and he could feel Satan tugging at his mind, no, he couldn't fall here not like this.

"Oh no, you aren't going to fall asleep on me!" Bon slapped him across the cheek,"I don't know how you fooled them but you won't fool me! SO STAY AWAKE DAMNIT!"

"I can-"

"You can't what? Accept what you are doing is wrong? That you can't go around like nothing happened?" Bon countered.

"No, that's not true." Rin gasped.

Before Bon could say anymore a harsh pain ripped up Rin's spine causing him to cry out in bitter agony. His breathing grew ragged and he raised a feeble hand to his chest to steady his racing heart, it was getting too much. He could hear Satan's maniacal laughter ringing in his ears, and a sneer flashed across his eyes that made him want to throw up at its clear amusement.

The twinning link he and Yukio shared suddenly flared and the original dull ache of Yukio's pain hit him in full force. It was so unreal, the agony and anguish he felt caused him to whimper and tear at his very skin. It was too much! Writhing on the floor in agony the pain increased ten-fold and he knew that something else was adding fuel to the fire.

"Stop this! You're going to hurt him!" Rin cried if the pain hurt him then the pain for Yukio would be even worse.

"Me, what have I done?"Bon shouted concerned.

"Accept me my son and I will stop this pain," Satan whispered in Rin's ears.

"Stay out of my head!" He raised his arms up to his ears and shook feebly through the pain.

"Okumura..?"

"Not until you obey me..."

"I ca-n't."

Bon knelt before the crumpled teen and slowly raised his chin.

"Okumura look at me !"

The usual dark blue of the eldest Okumura stared back at him, eyes now a dilated grey, unfocused and staring somewhere into the distance, and Bon slowly waved his other hand in front of his face.

"Where are you, Okumura?" he whispered.

"Yukio, stay away from Yukio" The half demon mumbled, it was like a mantra penetrating through this feeble darkness.

"Okumura snap out of it!" Bon proceeded to shake the teen's shoulders back and forth to no avail, when suddenly maniacal laughter assaulted his hearing. Tensing he slowly turned to find a dark shadow streaking the pavement, as Rin slumped forwards into his shoulder.

"Wake up! You need to wake up!"

"He won't hear you." The shadow sneered. "the boy has just let me win."

"..Let you win?"

*~/0\~*

Back in the dorm, Yukio was being attended to four varying doctors under Mephisto's orders. While the other exwires waited in the kitchen with drinks Ukobach had provided seeing their faces, well hot chocolate solves everything..right?

Not long after Bon and Rin had left, Konekomaru rang the headmaster and he came straight over with the best doctors he claimed to have from the area, they were uncivil but they were the best as of right now.

The teens sat slumped in their seats twirling the marshmallows round their mugs in a haze. No one really knew what to say.

"You-" Konekomaru started.

"What?" Shiemi mumbled.

"You don't think that- well you don't think that Rin actually did this? Do you?" He raised his head and looked across at the other exwires, they all held varying facial expressions.

"I don't know.," Izumo muttered. "But he seemed pretty shaken" She reasoned.

"I agree it's not something I can see him doing." Shiemi insisted.

"Well, who was in there first? Did they see anything?" Renzo pondered.

"Bon was in there first. He stopped me from going in..." Shiemi concluded.

"Maybe that's why Rin was taken out by him!" Kenokomaru stuttered skidding his chair backwards.

"You don't know tha-"

"But what else is there?"

Just as Shiemi rose from her own seat to argue, there was a knock at the front door, so instead, she went to go answer it. Slowly she reached for the handle and turned it clockwise down and pulled it back, the freshly painted wood screeched in protest.

Looking out she saw a figure on the front step.

"Hello, can I come in?" their voice pleaded.

She looked down to their arms and screamed.
