Blah blah blah. I don't own Blue Exorcist. I have shitty writing. You've heard it all before.

Yukio stood in front of his students. He struggled for words. What would he say and how could he say it?

Yukio took a deep breath.

"Class, as you know, Rin was caught being a spy for Satan." Yukio looked at Bon. "But then he was treated and trained to be an exorcist."

Yukio took another deep breath.

"What I'm trying to say, what I mean is...Rin has been captured. We suspect by demons."

Bob rolled his eyes. "Yeah, of course it's demons. They want their prince back."

Shiemi turned to Bon. "Don't you care what happens to him?"

"I couldn't care less."

"You're lying. You do care. You just won't admit it."

"If I gave a shit about what happened to that traitor, I'd tell you."

Shiemi frowned before sharply turning back toward Yukio.

Yukio sighed, 'Does he really not care?'

After class*

Yukio began to pack up his things. He had not expected much of a reaction anyway. What did he think his students would do, protest near a swarm of demons with t-shirts and posters saying "Free Rin?"

Yukio let out a long sigh. "I hope Rin's okay."

"Me too," said Shiemi, who had stayed behind after the other students had left.

"Thanks. It's just that, I don't know, I love him. I trusted him and he- he..."

"Betrayed that trust you thought you both shared?"

"Exactly."

Shiemi nodded as if she understood. Yukio took a seat and Shiemi sat down down right next to him.

"Y'know," she said, " the demons probably won't hurt him much, 'cause he's, y'know, their prince and all."

"That's not what I'm afraid of..."

Shiemi raised her eyebrows, a confused expression dawned upon her face. "Then what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that they'll change him."

Mephisto's office, the next day*

Mephisto was busy enjoying his afternoon tea when Shiro came barging in.

"Mephisto!" Yelled Shiro.

"What? Can't you see I'm busy?"

Shiro ignored his comment. "I have been looking for you for months. Where have you been?"

"I was going n vacation, but I'm back so talk to me now."

"Rin knew about his demonic heritage."

"You don't say."

"Well, I'm wondering how he found out."

"It wasn't me," Mephisto at his blank wrist. "Oh, my, have we been talking this long. Well, I'd love to chat, but I have some urgent matters that require my attention."

"Wait -" Shiro protested, but Mephisto had already disappeared in a puff of pink smoke.

yet another time skip, in a dungeon in Gehenna*

Rin opened his eyes.

Author's Note

You know I really tried with this chapter, but I don't know how good it is.
