Chapter 21~

"Yu-Yukio…" Rin stuttered, a pure look of horror on his face. "I can explain…I…w-we…"

The demon gave up and looked away, as he saw Yukio's glare intense, making the demon feel terrible in an instant. He had to try to fix this, now, somehow. Or this would end badly, for all three of them.

"Rin, I'm going to say this one more time." Yukio pulled his gun out of its holder on his belt and pointed it at Rin. "If you know what's good for you, you'll back up. Now."

Rin bit his bottom lip and looked up at Bon, who was holding the demon in a death grip; so he could keep Yukio from taking the demon away from him. The moment Rin looked up at him, the teen looked down at him and gave him a pleading glance. Telling him not to obey and stay in his arms, where he was the most safest at the moment.

"Bon-"

"No."

"Bon, let go."

"No!"

"Bon, I'm being serious!"

"And so am I!" The teen yelled, looking down at him, his grip on the demon tightening. "He can't take you away from me."

A click echoed in the air and the two of them turned to see Yukio aiming right at Rin's head, his brother still glaring at him. Bon tightened his grip further on Rin and the demon flinched in his arms, finding it harder to breath, as he watched the two of them glare each other down.

"You shot him, and I'll kill you!" Bon threatened.

"I'd like to see you try." Yukio taunted, smirking at Bon. "I'd advise you let go of him. It might get a little messy."

"No way in hell!" Bon yelled.

The next moment Yukio looked at Rin and pointed his gun at Bon, before he shot off the bullet. In an instant his demonic instincts took over, as he pulled his sword out of its case and pulled the sword out of the sheath; his body instantly engulfed in blue flames, and deflected the bullet with his sword. The bullet landed a few feet from the two teens and Bon started down at Rin, as the demon gently pulled the teen's arms off from around his waist and got up; glaring at Yukio. How dare he try to shot Bon. How dare he even point a gun in their direction, for that matter. He had no right to go around trying to take over his life, just because he was a demon. Rin had every right to take charge of his own life, without his younger brother stepping in and taking over. Bon was the most precious thing he had, and no one was going to lay a finger on him. None the less point a gun at him and trying to kill him.

"You try that again and you'll lose a hand, Yukio." Rin threatened, his tail lashing in anger. "No one points a gun at him, and tries to kill him in front of me."

"I wasn't trying to kill him, Rin." Yukio said, putting his gun back where it belonged, his usual expression on his face.

"Then what was that?" Rin yelled.

"Turn around and find out for yourself." His twin said, before he turned around and closed the door as he left.

"What?"

Rin turned around and saw Bon, staring up at him in shock, a glimpse of fear in his gaze. It only took a moment for Rin to realize that his body was still engulfed in the blue flames, and quickly sheathed his sword; the flames dying in an instant. The demon looked back at the teen and bit his lip, feeling the tears well up in his eyes; as he realized what had just happened. Yukio had purposefully tried to kill Bon to get Rin to use his sword, so Bon could see was the son of Satan, and he had succeeded. The demon quickly looked away and gripped his sword, till his knuckles bleed, as the tears rolled down his face. It was over. Rin's life was finally over.

"R-Rin…?"

"Bon, I'm sorry." Rin picked up the cloth case and stuck his sword back in it, slinging it over his shoulder. "I…I didn't mean for you to find out this way. I…I didn't want you to find out…at all. I'm really sorry."

"but…those flames…you're…"

"If you really want to know, go ask Yukio. I'm not good at staying put and telling stories." Rin looked at the frightened teen and gave him a saddened smile. "You of all people would know that."

Without another word, Rin turned around and opened the door; leaving the teen there on the roof. There was no way he could ever look at Bon again, not after what had just happened.

"Rin..? What are you doing here?" Ukobach asked, as the demon walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apron off the hook.

"I just need to vent off is all." Rin replied, having his tail coil around his waist, so he could tuck in his shirt. "I…something happened, and I just need something to keep my mind off it."

The little demon gave Rin a look of concern, as Rin tied the apron around his waist and washed his hands. Rin just tried to ignore the little demon's gaze and pulled some ingredients out of the fridge, so he could help the little guy make the lunches for tomorrow.

"Rin, what happened? You're never like this?" The little kitchen demon asked, telepathically.

"I don't want to talk about it, Ukobach. It's over and done with. I…" Rin paused, as he started down at the head of lettuce in his hand, the knife in the other. "I can't do anything about it, now."

"You don't know, till you try." The little demon replied, which made Rin look over at him in surprise. "It's like with cooking, Rin. You don't know if the food will come out right, till you try."

Rin looked down at the lettuce in his hand and gave up, setting the knife down and slumping to the floor; causing the little demon to look down at him in worry. There was no way Rin could fix this. It wasn't like cooking food. Not in the slightest. Food didn't have feelings, and they didn't love people. There was no way Rin could do anything to make Bon think he wasn't a bad person,…well, he wasn't a bad demon actually. Bon would never look at him the same way ever, again. He was the son of Satan, not a normal human like the rest of his classmates. He wasn't human, and Bon was. Rin didn't deserve to be with him, not with Bon. The teen deserved better, a lot better.

"Rin, you don't have to cry." A voice said, bringing him back to reality so he could realize he was really crying. "It's over and done with. Now get up and get a hold of yourself. You look pathetic."

Rin looked up to see Yukio standing by the door, his arms crossed over his chest. Just the sight of his older brother made his blood boil. The exorcist had the nerve to confront him, after what he had done to the demon. In an instant Rin was on his feet, his body engulfed in blue flames, and growling at his older brother; who had drawn his gun in seconds, and pointed it at Rin.

"How dare you do that to me!" Rin yelled, the tears streaming down his face. "It was going perfectly, till you butted in! "

"It was to protect you Rin, and to protect Bon." Yukio spoke calmly.

"You call that protecting? You let him see my flames! You're the one who told me not to let anyone see them! Are you stupid?"

"I'm sure, Suguro will understand when I erase his memory of the relationship you two had."

"You can't do that!" Rin yelled, staring at his younger brother in shock. "You..can't. That's not possible."

"I'm not just a Dragoon, Rin. I'm a doctor, too. Don't underestimate me."

"But, you can't! I love him!" Rin choked out, as his flames extinguish in an instant and the demon was in a crying heap on the floor. "I love him…you can't take him away from me."

"I can, Rin." Yukio said, replacing his gun on his belt. "I'm doing this so you don't get executed."

"I don't care about the dam order!" The demon growled, glaring up at his brother. "You can't take him away from me! I'll just make him fall in love with me, again!"

"You try and I'll erase your memories of him, as well."

"Like I give a dam! I love him, and I'll always love him! No matter what you do!" Rin looked down at his feet, as he felt the fresh tears come to the surface. "Besides, you saw him; didn't you? You had a gun pointed at my head and he wouldn't let go of me."

Yukio stared down at the demon and Rin wiped some of the tears off his cheeks, as new ones replaced them.

"He was trying to protect me. He loved me, and he didn't know I was the son of Satan." Rin put his head in his hands and his whole body started shaking, as he continued. "He was the first person to actually like me, and you ruined it. You took it away from me. He loved me, tail and all. I know I lied to him and told him I was in an accident with a demon, but he believed me, and he didn't have to know I was the son of Satan. I've spent fifteen years alone and without someone to actually care about me, and the moment I find someone you take them away from me. For once I was happy. What did I do to deserve this?"

Silence rang out through the room, as Rin sobbed into his hands; his whole body shaking. Why did this have to happen? Why did he have to be a demon? Why did he even exist? Why?

"Rin…?" Ukobach's voice reached him, telepathically, as his paw landed on Rin's arm.

The demon removed his hands from his face and looked down at the little demon, as he ran out of tears to shed. The little kitchen demon nodded over in Yukio's direction and Rin hesitantly looked over at his younger brother, his shaking subsiding in an instant. Yukio was looking at Rin in regret, leaning against the wall, looking down at him.

"Rin…I-"

"Forget it, Yukio." Rin said suddenly, standing up and taking off his apron; before shoving it into Yukio's arms. "You finally got what you wanted. I don't have anyone to be by me, anymore. I'm alone and all by myself, again. Now you can drag me around like an injured puppy and I'll obey."

"Rin-"

"I'm going to bed. Help Ukobach pack the lunches for tomorrow."

"Rin. wait!"

Yukio grabbed the demon's arm and stiffened, as Rin's body caught on fire; his flames dull and engulfing his whole body.

"Yukio, let go. It's over. There's nothing I can do now. I've lost the one person in my life I cared about the most. I have nothing, now."
