Shiemi screamed as the older exorcists converged on Rin. She was about to run to help him, but found her arms and waist trapped.

"You can't, Shiemi!" Izumo told her, voiced strained as she tried to hold back tears. "If you get caught in the crossfire, he'll get hurt trying to save you. His only chance is to escape."

Shiemi collapsed in the other girl's arms as she began to sob.

It hurt to know that she would only be a liability that would make the situation worse for Rin, but the thoughts of not being able to help, not being able to try, was much more painful.

She didn't care that he was half-demon. Sure, she'd been surprised and wary when she first found out, but it only took a day or so for her to realize that Rin was still the same goofy, loveable dork who had offered a shy girl (her) his friendship.

Quite a few of Rin's friends were of a similar mind, but it appeared that the boy's twin brother and their exorcist sensei, Yukio, was not.

He was right there with the others, doing his best to kill his last remaining family member.

The second the blonde girl spotted him, her crush on him shriveled away to nothing, and the normally reserved and uncertain girl was filled with a rather unfamiliar emotion to her.

Hatred.

If Yukio could turn on his older twin, who had only ever tried to look out for him, then who knew what he was capable of?


Later that night, Rin's classmates in the Exorcist program all laid in their beds, thinking about what they had witnessed that afternoon.

Yukio-sensei, the person that they were supposed to trust with their lives, had turned on his older twin with the intent to kill.

A majority of the other Exorcists had done the same.

Rin hadn't even done anything! He hadn't gone on a rampage, or lost control of his blue fire. He hadn't hurt any of them, or even insulted anyone.

The attack had been completely unprovoked.

Now, the other teens had differing opinions of the older Okumura.

Konekamaru had been afraid of Rin before the half-demon saved his life.

Shima considered him a good friend, and had never been afraid of him. The two were alike in many ways, both being lazy goofballs.

Bon thought that the boy was a harmless idiot even after his secret came out, but reluctantly respected him for saving his life and for being just as determined to kill Satan, his birth father, as Bon himself was.

Izumo also thought that he was an idiot, but then again, she thought that of most of the people she met, even Bon, who was her competition for top of the class. But Rin had seen through her arrogant mask, and he had saved both her and her best friend's lives when they surely would've perished otherwise.

Even Shura, full-fledged Exorcist and Rin's private tutor, was furious at what had happened. She hadn't been there, much less joined in, but she had made it perfectly clear to everyone where she stood on the matter, solidifying the students' respect for her.

Rin Okumura had left a mark on all of their lives, and now, despite not having joined in the attack against him, they felt like they had betrayed him.

The one silver lining in this otherwise dark situation was that Rin had managed to escape in the heat of the battle.


Rin gasped, eyes squeezing shut as he tried to fight off the pain. Not only was he still injured from the attack (and wasn't it just a stab to the heart that his twin got in a few painful shots), but he hadn't slept in three days, or had anything to eat or drink.

His only comfort was Kuro, his faithful demon familiar.

The Cat Sidhe had been the only think that had kept him going. In fact, it was due to him that Rin had even survived. The demon had knocked down most of Rin's attackers in his larger form before grabbing Rin with his mouth and running away.

A moment later, Kuro yowled (more like roared in this form) loudly as Rin finally lost consciousness.


'Is he okay?'

Those were the first words that Rin heard when he woke up.

'I think he will be, Kuro. Your friend is strong.'

The unfamiliar voice caused the fifteen year old to sit up quickly, eyes opening as he desperately took in his surroundings, only to shut them quickly as the light blinded them.

Kuro pounced on Rin's torso, forcing the air out of his lungs as he gasped for breath.

Rin brought a hand to scratch behind the cat demon's ears, rubbing at his eyes with the other.

"Ano…where are we?" he groaned.

Rin grimaced at the harshness of his voice, and was immediately handed a glass of water.

He glanced up, only to see a pretty blonde with long curly pigtails and beautiful brown eyes smiling at him sweetly, causing him to blush.

"A-arigato." He said, ducking his head slightly as he sipped at the water, wetting his dry throat.

"You're in the city of Magnolia, located in the country of Fiore." A voice spoke, and Rin turned his head to see an older man with light purple hair squinting at him. "Your friend tells us that you're from Japan, is that right?"

"Hai." Rin agreed nervously with a nod. "I've never been this far west before…"

"Well then, welcome!" the man said with a sudden smile. "You're currently in the Fairy Tail guild hall."

"Fairy Tail?" Rin asked, tilting his head.

"A magic guild." The man explained. "I know magic isn't big in Japan, but here it's completely normal."

Rin frowned thoughtfully. "Okay."

"Anyway, I'm Fairy Tail's guild master, Macao Conbolt." The man, Macao apparently, introduced himself. "Kozue here found you in the forest and brought you here."

He motioned to the girl from before, who blushed slightly before waving. 'It's nice to meet you, Rin!'

"Uh, you too, Kozue." Rin stuttered, unused to someone so kind. "How—"

'Kuro told us your name, and one of my magic abilities is telepathy.' Kozue explained, guessing at what he was going to ask. 'And call me Kozupii!'

Rin nodded, smiling a bit. "Thanks, Kozupii."

Macao smiled at the pair. "You were in pretty bad shape, so she brought you here and had our guild's healer, Porlyusica, take a look at you. You're in pretty good shape now, considering."

"Ariga—uh, I mean, thank you." Rin said, not used to speaking in English. He was lucky that Shiro, his adopted father, had been insistent that the twins become fluent in the language. "I guess…I'll go know, then."

'Why do you want to leave?' Kozue sounded slightly hurt, and she pouted at him adorably.

"W-well, I don't want to be a burden." Rin said, eyes wide. "Besides, I'm…kind of dangerous to be around."

His shoulders slumped, and he looked down.

"Eh, we already have two half-demons in our guilds, what's one more?" Macao said, waving a hand as if dismissing it.

Rin's head shot up in alarm. "EH?!"

The pair blinked at him, before Kuro meowed sheepishly from his lap.

"Snitch." Rin muttered, realizing that Kuro had told them his secret.

'Sorry Rin.'

Rin sighed, before turning to the others. "You want me to join your guild?"

Macao nodded. "If you want. It's up to you."

"But…I'm not a mage." Rin protested half-heartedly.

"No, but you've got that blue fire thing going on, and you can understand demons." Macao pointed out.

Rin blinked. "Actually, how did you understand Kuro?"

'He didn't.' Kozue explained, projecting her thoughts to both of the males, as well as Kuro himself. 'I can understand him since he communicates telepathically, so I translated.'

Macao and Kuro both nodded in agreement.

"Okay…" Rin said slowly. "So I don't need magic, just an odd ability."

"You could say that, though we have had members who didn't have any." Macao agreed.

"Well, it'd be nice to have somewhere to stay…" Rin trailed off. "Wait, did you say there were two other half-demons in this guild?!"

The other three sweat-dropped at the delayed question.


Rin was delighted to meet Raven and Charlotte, though he was confused that they were all different kinds of half-demon.

Charlotte's father was a high-level demon who served under Lucifer, one of Rin's half-brothers. Besides being physically superior to most humans, her demon heritage wasn't very obvious. Rin had the potential to become stronger, but she was far more experienced and skilled than he was.

Raven was the daughter of Trigon, a multi-dimensional demon that was basically Earthland's equivalent of Satan. She had seven half-brothers, who just so happened to be the Seven Deadly Sins. Raven's demon heritage was most obvious, with the flying and four red eyes when she got mad, but she was mostly a calm person with a wicked sense of humor.

And Rin, of course, was Satan's son, and the half-brother of Earthland's Demon Kings, which of course included Lucifer.

Weren't they an interesting bunch?


Soon enough, Rin and Kuro bore the same guild mark as everyone else. Kuro got his in gray, in honor of his previous master Shiro's hair, on his side. Rin's was blue, the same color as his eyes, which he chose to put on his left shoulder.

They made a home for themselves in Fairy Tail, and Rin did his best to forget his brother's betrayal. At least he didn't have to worry about his friends, though, since he'd heard them cheer when Kuro got him out of there.


Please review!

'Ano' is basically a substitute for 'um', according to three-second search I did when I got curious. If that's wrong, sorry.

Yes, Charlotte is also a half-demon. Ciel became a demon and got Lizzy pregnant to sire an heir for the Phantomhive family before abandoning them.

Okay, unless I come up with a new character to add at this point (Itachi from Naruto has been suggested, which I'm considering, but I think if I do that it'll happen later on), the Tenrou group will come back next chapter.
