All right! Amazed got the two bands right along with xRuneStone who got the first song correct! For the rest of you, the songs from the last chapter were Whispers in the Dark by Skillet, and Through Glass by Stone Sour. Also I would like to thank thatsadistinthealley for their comment; it made me smile big time.
By the way one of my friends found this on YouTube and sent it to me:

You guys would probably like it if you're a Yukio fan. XD

"Rin you missed it! Last Saturday Bon got kissed by a guy!"
Yeah that's the first thing I hear when I walked into Cram School on Monday, the second is Shima's head being smashed head-first into his desk by a blushing Bon. "Oh man really? How'd that happen?" I asked while pulling off a fake look of surprise, but inwardly I was smirking. "Well we went to go see this guy named Dusk play at the café down town. We went because I was tired of hearing how "great" he is from all the girls at school and I wanted to see if he was or if the girls just thought he was hot. Apparently this Dusk guy is actually a player for both fields if you know what I mean." At this Shima wiggled his eyebrows, and of course to keep up my image as an idiot I made a confused face. "Player? Fields?" I asked while tilting my head for an added affect which made Bon twitched his eyebrow in irritation.
"The guy was bi, meaning that he likes and dates both genders idiot."
"Oooooh! Ok!"
"Anyway, the last song of the night was dedicated to his crush and the entire time he was singing he was staring straight at Bon the whole time! So once the show was over and everyone left, we stayed behind to talk to the guy, well for Bon to talk to the guy, but before he could say anything to him, Dusk turns around and plants one on Bon!" Shima exclaimed, while Bon slowly turned from a dull pink to a rosy red. "And Paku and I got the whole thing on film." Izumo said smugly as my crush's blush turned even darker. "You went too eyebrows? Why the hell wasn't I invited to this?" "Well I tried to invite you but I couldn't find you anywhere!" Shima huffed. "Oh, I was training with Kuro." I said sheepishly. "So did you deck him Bon? I could only imagine that he pissed you off with that stunt!" However, the blonde streaked teen just murmured something before looking away. "What did he say?" I asked Shima with an arched eyebrow. The pink haired teen just shrugged but I could see the shit-eating grin he was trying to hold back. "I said I didn't hit him. I-I liked it." Bon confessed in a small voice but still continued to avoid everyone's stare. However, I swooped down to his eye level and meet his gaze, completely surprising him. "Okumura what the hell?" He growled as he sat back to get away from me. Ignoring the small pang of hurt, I gave him a reassuring smile. "Well if you liked it then why aren't you going after the guy?" I almost laughed at his incredulous expression when I asked him that. "B-Because we're both guys! It's a sin!" He sputtered. "It's just wrong!"
It's just wrong!
Those three words continued to haunt my mind for the rest of class and as I got home. They kept ringing in my thoughts as I sat there and did my homework; I didn't even care that my brother was giving me strange looks when I completed it without getting a single problem wrong. Instead I just went up to the roof of the dorm building to look at the stars. I knew I couldn't say anything to that statement because Bon was right, it was wrong for a guy to like another guy, but that didn't stop the ripple of emotional and mental pain that washed over me. But why? Why does it have to be wrong when it feels right? I thought to myself as I forced my tears of frustration back. Why do I have to be so fucked up? I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. As I took it out and flipped the screen open I saw I had a text from Izumo.
Are you ok?
It was such a simple question but yet meant the world to me because I knew she really was concerned about my well-being.
No, I feel like shit but thanks for asking.
I'm coming over then.
My brother is here though.
Fuck your brother, you need some cheering up. Paku is also coming.
When I got this I was howling with laughter as I imagined in my mind's eye Izumo saying that in person. "Izumo I love you." I chuckled when Paku and her joined me fifteen minutes later in their pjs with a bag that had a giant tub of vanilla ice cream, a bottle of chocolate syrup, and spoons. "What about me? I brought ice cream!" Paku mocked pouted as I smiled. "Love you too Paku, now give me that spoon so I can get me some of that!" I said as all three of us laughed before digging into the delicious desert. "So how did you get up here without Yukio noticing?" I asked while shoving a big spoonful of vanilla into my mouth followed by me water-falling chocolate syrup straight out of the bottle. "Used the fire escape to climb up to floor above your room to sneak through a window, the rest was easy." Izumo explained with a smirk, she then became serious though. "Rin, I know you're in a funk because of what Suguro said." Of course I'm not really surprised by that, I knew she could always see the self-hatred I let fester in me. "Am I really that easy to read?" I weakly joked after a moment of silence. "Only when someone can see the real you, other than that no, not really." Paku said truthfully while placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Do you want to talk about it?" My sweet brown haired friend asked softly and before I knew it, all my thoughts came tumbling out of my mouth. "I hate myself, I hate how I've always hurt people, how my own brother is now a monster just like me when he shouldn't, that I practically caused my dad's death, and the part I hate the most is how I can't be myself, that it's wrong to be attracted to both genders and that it's wrong that I can't fall for a guy who will probably hate me for the rest of his life if he found out it was me who kissed him. Me, the Son of Satan falling for a monk! Ha! Who was I fooling?" I laughed bitterly. Suddenly I found myself being engulfed by two pairs of arms that were connected to my two closest friends, before I finally broke down; my body started to shake with silent sobs as the two whispered soothing words into my ears, both of them also lightly crying. At least I have these two to keep me sane. I thought as the three of us embraced one another. Thank you God.

From far away from the three friends was a man dress in all white that was sitting in a floating chair; a small green hamster sitting on the rim of his top hat as the two watched the teens. "Otouto seems to be having a hard time huh big brother." The Earth King said thoughtfully as he observed the half demon. The older of the two made a hum of agreement. "It seems that little Rin won't be able to keep up his act much longer. I wonder how this will turn out...In the mean time I have some things to plan." With that said, the two disappeared in a poof.

In hind sight, staying up until 2:30 in the morning on a school night after eating an entire gallon of ice cream and a bottle of chocolate syrup with my two best friends was probably not the greatest idea, but after our "group therapy session", I felt a lot better. The three of us talked about my problems and decided that if I really wanted to go after Bon, I would have to step up my game and prove to him that even though liking someone of the same gender is a sin, it is indeed worth it. And Mephisto gave me the best opportunity to do so. "You want us to do what?" Ayano deadpanned once all the bands and soloist arrived at the café that was closed for the day for this meeting. "I wanted to hire all of you to play at the reopening of Mepphy Land (A/N: No shit this is the actual name of the park XDDDDDD)!" The older demon repeated with a grin. "And of course the café is also welcome to advertise too~!" "Oh sweet! When is it?" Daiki asked with excitement as he and two brothers practically bounced in their seats. "It is a week from this Saturday. I hope that is enough time for you all to practice, yes?" "Man-I mean Mr. Faust; of course it is as long as Mrs. and Mr. Laurens let all of us practice here until then." Kenji said while giving Mrs. Laurens a hopeful look. "I guess if we stay closed until then so all of you can practice it will work, but the shop might suffer if it stays closed that long." The blonde haired woman said with a slight frown. "Maybe Mr. Faust here can pay you, since technically he is borrowing us and we are your employees." I emphasized while throwing a sharp glare at his direction, daring him to say no. "Then for our payment he could let us have V.I.P passes to all the rides at the park for the day." "That seems really good idea Rin! How about it Mr. Faust?" Mrs. Laurens asked as his eyebrow twitched. He then let out a sigh before grabbing his check book and writing a check. "I can arrange that. Will this be enough to keep this fine establishment running?" He asked while handing the Laurens the heck; both of their eyebrows almost skyrocketing of their faces. "Oh wow, this is what we usually make for entire year! Thank you Mr. Faust, thank you!" Mr. Laurens said gratefully while shaking the principal's hand vigorously.
"All right gang let's do this!" Mrs. Laurens said as the room cheered. "So what can we do to make this awesome?" "Paku and I can make posters and have all of us hand them out at school!" Izumo exclaimed. "I can see if my Pops will let us use his moving truck to move all of our gear to the park." Arata threw in. "Oooh! My cousin Kiki is amazing with special effects! Maybe I can get her and her friends to help out with the stage!" Nori gasped excitedly. While the rest made suggestions, my mind was reeling and before I could think it through, my mouth got the best of me. "How about when we hand out the posters at the academy this Saturday when we are all dressed up in our stage clothes? If we hand them out in uniforms, most people won't bother to grab them since they won't recognize us and we won't have to worry about kids being in class. We could do some acoustic playing to draw them in and a little singing to get a taste of the show." "Yeah you're right! If we play at the school and the usual fans see us we're bound to have people coming!" Mariko said gleefully. "Mrs. Laurens, you could probably have a small stand open up and you could sell drinks and snacks!" Tsukiko pointed out as the older woman thought it over. "I could, if it's all right with Mr. Faust here." "As long as I get a free treat you can." He said with a chuckle as the whole room laughed. I could already tell this was going to be an interesting two weeks.
