Rin sat there, staring at the quiz on his desk. He had long finished it and was waiting until class ended to turn it in. The questions had been standard and very basic. Though some covered all the stuff they'd learned since Kagome had come to the Academy. Slowly Rin lifted his eyes to look at Yukio and Kagome. The latter had a bandage wrapped around her hand and up to her elbow.
He and all at the True Cross Academy had witnessed what had happened to injure Kagome. It had been a shock to see his half-sister Iblis appear in the middle of the commons and demand Kagome face her. The battle that had resulted lasted for under thirty minutes and had left both of the girls breathless and hurt. But what had his attention was the conversation they'd had while battling.
Rin knew he wasn't good at picking up on subtleties, yet he had in this case. Iblis' had made it clear she was only doing this to humor, not just their father but their eldest brother Lucifer that she wasn't interested in Kagome. While Kagome sighed and gave a wry laugh and said that women weren't her type either, yet the contract obligations had to be fulfilled. And he wanted to know about the contract. In fact, he had gone and asked Yukio and Mephisto about only to get expertly manipulated to another topic.
Though Rin knew that this contract was relevant, especially if his siblings were coming after Kagome, narrowing his eyes on the girl as she continued to stare out the window aimlessly, he recalled the conclusion of the battle. Iblis had gotten close and burned her bow and arrows. She was claiming that such things won't work on her and that Kagome was still infantile in her budding Holy powers.
The moment the ash from Kagome's chosen weapons were blown away on the wind revealed a bow and arrow made of silver energy that had every hair on his body standing on end. It was that same power he had felt before Amaimon had crashed headfirst into the school's courtyard. The look of horror and pain on Iblis' face as she tried to backpedal, the flames that constantly flickered off her body flaring to protect her as Kagome shot the arrow.
The battle was called a draw after that both of the girls injured. Iblis had a hole in her shoulder that bled while Kagomes arm and hand were burned. Yet to see the two of them in pain and to smile in good nature at each other, before doing some light banter that he knew was much more, Rin couldn't help but wonder. Kagome had told Kuro that Yukio was not an option, and now two of his half-siblings had come for her if this contract would include him?
"Hey, quit daydreaming, dumbass!"
Blinking his eyes, Rin was pulled from his thoughts as his face hit his desk as Ryuji continued to insult him while grinding the back of his head with his fist. Causing his fellow students to laugh and chuckle at his expense.
TBC!
