Rin's POV
Location: Magnolia Fairy Tail Guild hall
"So, that's it?" Gajeel asked. "You lied about your identity?"
"What else would I do?" I asked.
"You should've told us!" he yelled.
"You would've killed me!" I yelled.
"Don't blame him!" Aya said. "I was the one who told him to not say anything to keep it hidden from Aki and I only told those who I know could keep it."
"That's the right thing to do I think," Levy agreed with Aya, "and Natsu couldn't get to know either for Rin's safety. We all know him well enough for that"
"Thanks for the trust Levy" Natsu said.
"No, I don't mean it like that," Levy said, "all I meant was that you are so loyal that you would beat the shit out of Rin trying to get Gray back"
"Who would want that looser back?" Natsu asked.
"You," Aki said, "or I'm gonna make today your last"
Natsu gulped. I knew he thought Erza was scary and I have to agree and right now Aki reminded me a lot of that woman.
"This is a serious problem indeed," the master said as he walked up to us and looked at me. "I have always known that you were not Gray" he held his small hand out to me. "Hello Rin Okumura. I am Makarov master of Fairy Tail"
"Well eh… hello there. How is it going?" I asked. Honestly, there was something about him that reminded me of Fujimoto. Maybe it was the way he knew everything. It felt like he was always one of those you could trust; one of those who would always be there when you needed them the most. Yet he still made me insecure. He seemed much less down to earth and I wasn't sure how to react. It was obvious he was old. But he wasn't the typical old man you would come across every day.
"Well, I'm fine thanks for caring," he said. Okay maybe he wasn't as much like Fujimoto as I thought. Yet there was still something. Their smile… there was something that was the same…
"Excuse me for a moment," I mumbled as I left. I could feel tears burning in my eyes. All of these thoughts reminded me of the night when Fujimoto died because of me. It was all my fault
I ran outside and hid my tears as well as possible when I suddenly heard someone walk up to me and turned around.
"What happened there?" Aya asked looking at me.
"I just…" I couldn't figure out how to explain this. "Makarov just reminds me of my old man," I mumbled.
"Oh?" she said. "Is he in your world?"
"No…" I mumbled. "He died a couple of months ago…"
"I'm sorry…" she mumbled placing a hand on my shoulder.
"It was all my fault… Satan possessed his body, because he wanted me back to his world and I just didn't protect myself like he had told me to do. And I told him mean things. It's all my fault because I'm the demon I am…" and the tears flew down my cheeks as Aya pulled me into a hug.
"Maybe they say you are a demon but I know for a fact that you have the heart of a human," she said trying to comfort me.
"How do you know?" I mumbled not believing her.
"Isn't it obvious? It's because you feel guilty. Anyone evil may not really feel guilty for taking the life of a loved one, even if I'm sure it was more Satan's fault than your fault."
"What do you know? You have caring parents out there who loves you and your sisters more than anything haven't you?" I asked.
"Actually…" she looked down. "My parents died when me and Aki were little; they were killed by the men who kidnapped Erza and they had intentions of kidnapping me and Aki as well. I don't even remember them."
So she had been living without her parents for so long… she couldn't even remember them? Well my father was evil and my mother died when Yukio and I were born. I had lost one who I had memories of and lost one I didn't know at all and then my father was evil. And then she had lost both her parents when she was little. I'd say our stories were terrible in different ways. Though she had managed to get through. I wasn't through this yet. That was for sure.
