Highschool is a bitch. And so is my ex.
DEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONSDEMONS
Rin started the day perfectly happy. He had to sneak around campus to see his friends, but hey, crawling on ceilings was fun. He didn't mind. He'd already said hello to Bon, Izumo, Koneko, and Shiemi. And Shima...
He'd come back a few months after Rin threw him out. Rin didn't really know how to feel, so he just acted as if nothing happened. He did, of course, notice Shimahad dyed his hair back to brown, but again acted as if nothing happened. It wasn't too hard. He could hold up a mask perfectly fine. No one needed to know his mixed feelings about a guy he knew for two days, fell in love with, slept with, then kicked out for not telling the truth about something not even related to their relationship. Nope.
Rin sighed to himself. He needed to think things over more, honestly. He pretty much acted like a teenage girl who got her feelings hurt by her boyfriend. And they weren't really even dating. The fact that Rin chained him up and literally threw him across a roof to his older brother like he was returning a gift to Walmart is incredibly stupid. Embarrassing on many levels.
Rin was about to start crawling again(he was on the ceiling) when he got a message on his phone. He looked at it and headed towards Shiro and Mephisto. 'Something has happened.' Wow, how vague can you be?
Rin got to their location eventually and met them there. He looked at them. Shiro had a woman standing next to him. A woman with big tits and a nice ass. She only had short, fiery red n' yellow hair, a skimpy red bikini top, booty shorts, fishnet stockings, and brown boots. She also had a long red tattoo from the top of her bust to just below her waistband. Didn't leave much to the imagination did she? Her eyes were a bright purple. She also looked irritated.
Rin raised an eyebrow. Shiro sweat dropped and Mephisto shrugged. "Rin, this is Shura Kirigakure, an exorcist. She knew your mom and she's a friend of mine and Yukio's." Shiro introduced. "So this is Satan's brat, huh? Doesn't look very tough ta me." She commented carelessly. Rin was on her in a flash. The next second found Shura with a dagger pressed to her throat and Rin twisting her arm behind her back while his tail immobilized her other arm. "I don't know, bitch. Who's the one who doesn't look so tough now?" Rin hissed in her ear, pulling her arm harder behind her back. She winced. "Mercy." Rin huffed out a laugh and let her go.
Shiro snorted as Shura glared at Rin. "Shiro, what the hell? You just let him attack me?" She demanded. Shiro shrugged. "Shouldn't have threatened his position. He's the military leader. Can't have anyone else taking charge. Especially right before the war starts." Was his response. Rin grinned, showing his fangs. "Don't insult someone you don't know or understand. That's how you die in Gehenna." Rin told her. "Well this isn't Home Sweet Home, kid. That's not how it works with humans." She scoffed at him. "It works that way when I'm here. Be careful, Bitch. Don't want someone dying on my watch because she insulted one of my demons. And Gehenna is not my home." Rin warned.
"So what was the urgent matter you called me here for?" Rin turned to Mephisto. The demon king grinned. "There seems to be a high level demon in Kyoto. While you were gone, someone stole the eyes of the Impure king. They've only just now made their move to revive him though. We're sending you and your friends along with your brother, Shiro, and Shura. Kyoto will fall if you don't get there quick." Rin frowned. This was actually serious.
"Alright. How will we get there?" Rin questioned. "Train. It will take a bit, so bring some sort of entertainment. Also, work things out with the spy. The awkwardness is suffocating." Shiro answered. Rin's face reddened a bit. Shura snorted. "Fuck off." He grumbled, turning to go pack things from his safehouse.
An hour and some Ramen later, they were all assembled on the train. The adults went to a car further up and left the younger Exorcists in their own train car. Dear Goblins the awkwardness was suffocating. Rin and Bon sat together. Shima sat by himself across from them. He'd obviously wanted to go with Yukio for some reason. Something must have happened between them. Or maybe they were just both attracted to each other, because Yukio wanted to sit with Shima as well. Izumo sat in front of Shima and Konekomeru sat with Shiemi.
Shima looked a bit lonely. A part of Rin said Leave him. He gets what he deserves for being a spy. But another part said Console him. It's not like you hate him. He's only doing what he loves.
Rin sighed and got up. Bon looked at him curiously. Rin looked at him. His expression was probably something like I really don't want to do this but I feel like I have to. Bon nodded. Rin sat down next to Shima. Shima tensed and Rin could tell he was nervous.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did when I found out you were a spy." Rin started. Shima looked at him in surprise. "I shouldn't have reacted that harshly." Shima didn't say anything for a bit. You could cut the tension in the car like butter. Rin knew everyone else was listening.
Finally, "It's okay. I can't say it's my fault. I like doing what I do. It's one of the few things I'm good at." Shima's answered. Bon almost choked and looked at the spy incredulously. Idiot! What kindof response is that?!
Rin's eye twitched and he resisted the urge to bitch-slap the guy. "Exactly. I just had a horrible childhood, so trust is important to me." Rin said. Shima's nodded. "So why did you throw me across a roof and not Mephisto too?" Shima's asked. Rin clenched his fist. Was he always this much of an asshole?
"Mephisto told the truth when I asked him right away. You would have lied. I already knew you would. So I didn't let you." Rin answered honestly. "Hmm, you would make a good spy, you know. You'd be better than I could ever be." Shima told him.
Rin's eyes widened and and he turned and decked the boy next to him. Shima fell into the aisle. Rin stood over him, eyes glowing an angry red. "I will never be like you! You are disgraceful! I don't want to be like you! I don't want to manipulate people. I don't want to ruin people's lives like you did! I don't know why I tried to talk to you!" Rin yelled, stepping on Shima's ribs and applying pressure. Shima groaned. Rin stopped just before they broke. He turned and sat back down with Bon.
"What do you mean by ruining lives exactly?" Shima asked, still on the floor. "I heard about what you've done. The information you give to Lucifer, he uses to destroy high level demons and make them his pets. I've seen it. It's sick." Rin answered tersely.
Shima hummed in answer and got up,groaning. "God damn you're strong." He commented. Rin rolled his eyes. Why did he think this idiot would understand. The Shima he knew didn't exist. It was fake.
They were sitting quietly, each person doing their own thing. Shiemi was sleeping, Konekomeru and Shima listening to music. Izumo going over attacks for her Byakko. Rin was sleeping on Bon's shoulder, who was sleeping with his arms crossed and brows furrowed.
That peaceful atmosphere was gone in a second.
All Rin could register was screaming, the screeching of train wheels on the metal tracks, chilly air from outside, and a flash of pain in his side and leg and then he was out again.
Bon was too disoriented to make sense of what was happening. He felt something pelt him. Hail? No. Rubble. Screeching, screaming and cold seeping into his bones all registered before he was knocked out when something his his head.
...What was going on?...
...Why is he so cold?...
...Why did his side feel wet?...
...Where was everyone else?...
...Why can't I move?...
I don't know...
Bon woke slowly, blinking the snowflakes out of his eyes. It took him a moment to realize what had happened. Something attacked the rain and pushed it off the rails. He looked around and saw that he was still in the train. Which would have been fine...except for the fact that he was laying on the back window of the train car, which was dangling over the side of a snowy mountain. He froze, staring down at the white covered void below him. The window was cracked slightly, probably from when he landed.
He heard a groan somewhere above him. Someone in the aisle moved. It was Shima. Bon also noticed that Konekomeru was hanging over the back of a seat. If the car moved just a bit, he would fall head first and they'd all die. "Shima!" Bon called. His voice was rough. Shima froze and looked at him, eyes widening. "Jesus Christ Bon! Don't move!" Shima shouted. Bon gave him a deadpan look. "Can you see anyone else? I can only see you and Konekomeru." Bon asked, craning his neck a bit.
Shima looked around cautiously. "Izumo is up in front. She's passed out, but I think she's fine. Shiemi's next to Konekomeru on the floor. She looks pretty bad, Bon. And so do you." Shima reported. "Wait a minute, where's Rin?" Shima wondered at the same time the thought occurred to Bon. They both looked at the side of the car that had been ripped open. It went straight out into the void below them. "You don't think he...?" Shima started. Bon sighed. "I think he did, Shima. Do you think you could get into the next cars without making us shift too much?" Bon affirmed, switching to a different subject.
Shima nodded. He slowly climbed the seats. He froze every time the car creaked. It shifted slightly once, but other than that, Shima made it to the next car. There wasn't anyone in this one. He made is way up the cars until he found the adults car. They were evacuating the survivors. Shiro caught sight of him and waved Yukio over. "How is everyone? We haven't gotten there yet." Shiro said worriedly. "The last car is hanging over the edge." Shima told him bluntly. Yukio looked like he was going to be sick at the thought but also seemed relieved when he saw Shima was fine. Shiro put a hand on his shoulder. "Rin's gone. He fell. I'm the only one who was able to make it up here, but Bon woke up first." Shima reported. Yukio looked a bit scared. "How bad is everyone?" He asked.
"Well, Rin's gone, Izumo is fine, Shiemi looks pretty banged up, Konekomeru is hanging on the back of a seat and Bon is stuck laying on the window of the car above the drop. He can't move even if he tried though. His ribs are probably broken and I'm pretty sure he dislocated his shoulder. His left wrist is also fractured." The agent told them. Yukio looked like he was gonna pass out now.
Shiro squeezed his son's shoulder. "We have to get them out. As for Rin, we can't help him-" Shima interrupted at that point. "What?!" Shiro sighed. "We don't have the resources. We need to get to Kyoto as fast as we can. The Impure King situation is getting worse. That and we don't know whether Rin is alive or not." Shiro told him regretfully. Guess Yukio couldn't take that much. He passed out right then and there. Shiro caught him easily and cradled his son to his chest. Shima was a bit surprised at this, but not that much. He also felt something else. Worry? Why did he care? Yukio had some serious stress issues. That was a fact that pretty much everybody knows.
Shima looked down at the unconscious exorcist and wondered: What connects him so much to Rin? Shiro let Yukio rest a bit before shaking him awake. "Hey, hey, c'mon Yukio, I know you're stressed about Rin, but we gotta help the others first, okay? The shaken Yukio nodded, fiddling with his hands. He followed Shiro and Shura down the train cars. "You gotta be a really careful right about here. Otherwise the whole thing shifts and we're all screwed." The brunette warned as they climbed down the cars hanging partially off the tracks. They finally made it to the last one. Shima slid the door open gently.
Bon opened his eyes when he heard the door slide open. He looked up at Shima. Shima grinned. Behind him, Shiro and Yukio made their way in carefully. Yukio pulled Izumo into a safer car and came back, doing the same thing with Shiemi. Shiro pulled Konekomeru off the chair carefully and carried him to where the girls were.
Now Bon was a different story. Shima weighed the least out of the men, so he had to climb down carefully. "Alright Bon. This is gonna hurt, but try to stay still." Shima warned his friend. Bon nodded, preparing himself. Shima grabbed his shoulder and set it back in place. Bon clenched his teeth and made sure not to shift. "Wow! Good job kid! Now try to get up here." Shiro complimented.
Bon nodded and slowly sat up on the glass. It cracked a bit more. He got on his knees. More cracks. Finally, he stood slowly, glass cracking fast under his weight. He took a deep breath and jumped up, grabbing onto the seats and climbing up sloppily, almost slipping twice. He made it to the next car and kicked the bolt connecting the cars. The last car fell into the void. They all stared down with wide eyes as it fell. They waited. Finally, they heard a muffled crash and cringed. Shima whistled. "That's a long way down..." Yukio let out an almost incomprehensible whimper. "Rin..."
Shiro pulled Yukio away from the edge and they grabbed the others and took them to the medic car where all the adults were. They noticed the group and rushed to the younger Exorcists. One took Shiemi and laid her down on a mat quickly. Konekomeru was sat down, half-awake, and had his head treated for the nasty gash on it.
Shiro went off to set Izumo down and Yukio made Bon sit down so he could examine him. He also had to take his shirt off. It was warm in the car, but he still shivered. "Sorry. I have to check your ribs to see how many are broken." The exorcist apologized. Bon shook his head. "It's alright. It's warm in here compared to the last one." Bon laughed. Yukio gave a slight smile. "This is gonna hurt, but please stay still." He pressed lightly against Bon's bruised ribcage. Bon winced a bit but did what was requested of him. "Hmm, so three ribs at the top. Not too bad. Just don't lift anything." Yukio told him.
Next he checked Bon's wrist. It was, in fact, fractured, but not too badly. He wrapped it up and told Bon that his shoulder should be fine. Bon sat off to the side and watched the Exorcists run around, trying to get everything back in order. They weren't far from Kyoto, so there was the option of walking, but not everyone could walk. Bon had noticed Yukio was limping, but decided not to point it out. The exorcist would just brush it off anyways.
Izumo soon joined him and so did Konekomeru. Shiemi came back with an arm sling and a lot of bandages. Shima came and sat with them,feeling out if place among the adults. "Did you get tired of collecting information?" Bon commented. "Seriously? What, are you mad because Rin was pissed at me for being who I am?" Shima answered. Bon opened his mouth to say something back, but in the next moment, there were three loud bangs and three smoking bullet holes in the wall between their heads. They looked in shock at Yukio. "My brother might be dead and you're arguing like children. Either sit there and shut up or come help us." Yukio growled. They wisely shut up.
We'll find you Rin. I promise.
