I do not own Blue Exorcist.
I couldn't sleep. How could anyone? That fight really made my whole body ache, especially my tail. I looked over at Shiemi. She let me sleep on her bed tonight. She looked so peaceful, like nothing happened earlier. Tonight was the first time I'd ever cried. Mephisto told me that I hadn't even cried at birth. I guess the emotion took over me. If I'd cried in Gehenna, I'd have been beaten up by all demons in sight. Being here in Assiah has really changed me. Shiemi has changed me. Thinking about last night only made me think about Yukio. How the hell was he able to survive the flames? He was clearly hit by them, but how was he not burned. I saw his clothes, they were burnt and peeling off, so why was he still unharmed.
Wait, I'm an Idiot, the answer was staring me in the face.
Shiemi and I walked down the hall of the cram school. My hands fidgeted in my pockets. What I know can't be true, can it? Shiemi noticed my nervous look and stopped me.
"Are you okay?" she asked me.
"I'm fine," I mumbled, and carried on walking.
She stopped me again.
"Rin, if something's wrong, you should tell me," She said, looking concerned.
"Don't worry, you will find out in a moment," I said, opening the door to our classroom.
Everyone was there as normal, but they all looked a little… frightened. I walked over to my seat and sat down. I looked behind me at Bon and Shima. Konekomaru must still be at the hospital. Bon glared at me, then looked away. Shima didn't even look at me. I turned back to the front, feeling hurt.
You thought we'd just sit by and watch you get killed? We're your friends!
I knew they wouldn't be my friends anymore after last night. At least I've still got Shiemi. She smiled, reassuring me. Yukio entered the class in a hurry. He pushed up his glasses and put down his books. I glared at him.
"Sorry class, I had to run an errand," He said, writing something on the board.
I put my hand up, waiting for him to answer me.
"No questions until after I have explained the task for today," he said, continuing with his writing.
"This can't wait, I need to ask this now," I said, lowing my hand.
"Rin, I'm the teacher, and I'm asking you to wait," he said, picking up one of his books.
"Well, I guess you could call me impatient!" I shouted, slamming my fist down onto the desk. "I want to know how you weren't burnt by my flames!"
Yukio stopped writing. He turned around to face me.
"What do you mean?" he asked me, innocently.
"Don't play dumb! When I hit Shiemi with my flames, her arm was all burnt, but I blasted you with an even more powerful attack, yet you were unharmed, so tell me how you repelled to fire!" I shouted, standing up.
There was a silence. I waited for Yukio to give me an answer.
"You have the wrong idea, you simply missed me, that is all," he said, turning around.
That's it, if he's not going to tell me himself, I guess I'm going to have to play dirty. Without thinking, a flame bolt came crashing into him. Shiemi grabbed me to stop me from hurting anyone else. I heard Bon shout something out, but I wasn't listening, I was to focused on what I had just revelled. Yukio stood there, unharmed. His clothes were in flames, but he was immune to my fire.
"What the hell do you think you are doing!" shouted Bon. "You shouldn't have let him back in this class, he's too dangerous!"
I stood there in utter shock.
"I knew it," I said.
Yukio turned to face me. He didn't look surprised or shocked. He looked totally unfazed.
"Your half demon, aren't you!" I shouted.
Yukio starting laughing. H roared with laughter. Why the hell is he laughing?
"I knew you would find out someday, but Mephisto asked me not to tell you, but the truth is out now, isn't it?" he said, taking off his burnt coat.
"What are you?" I asked him, confused.
He walked up to me, and put his hand on my shoulder.
"I should ask you the same thing, big brother."
