It was the next morning, about thirty minutes before class was going to start. Rin decided to go to class a bit earlier, so that he could study right before the exam. He needed to get his grades up, and considering that he's been lazy and nobody wanted to talk to him anymore, he decided to take advantage of the free time. He sat in the very back of the classroom and was immediately in his books. About ten minutes later, none other than Ryugi walked in the class. Rin knew who it was without looking up to see who it was. He felt Ryugi's eyes on him.
"Rin." He said aloud. Rin waited to finish the paragraph he was reading until he decided to look at Ryugi.
"Yeah?" he replied.
"I…uh…I just wanted to say no hard feelings." He said, looking at the ground. This pissed Rin off.
"No hard feelings? You punched me across the face, called me rude names, looked at me in disgust all the time just to make sure I knew you hated me, and after all those times I still didn't do anything to you except help you, and now you're saying no hard feelings?" said Rin, putting down his book. "I don't want your apology. I completely understand why you or anyone else hates me, but if you're going to suck up, at least say sorry." He added.
"I knew you were really angry…" muttered a shocked Ryugi.
"I wasn't, but now…just looking at you, not even wanting to say sorry it just…it makes me blood boil! I can't help who I am!" shouted Rin. "I don't want to be Satan's son! I never asked to be that! I understand that people won't like me, you and the others have had such bad experiences with Satan's attacks, so I know where you're coming from, but that doesn't give you the right to hit me and call me names! I was human not even a couple months ago!" he shouted again. Tears formed in his eyes and they threatened to fall. He wouldn't let them. Ryugi walked up to Rin and put his hands on his shoulders and looked into his eyes.
"I know we did a lot of hurtful things to you. Me mostly. But I'm sorry. I hit you and disrespected you out of rage towards Satan, not you. It was wrong of me to do that. I don't hate you, Rin." He said. A single tear fell from Rin's face and he quickly wiped it away.
"It's fine." He said. Ryugi could see that he was hurting. He didn't deserve to hurt just because of who he was. There are people out there who get discriminated against for many reasons, Rin is no different.
"No, it's not. I know you're mad. We went against you when all you were doing was trying to help. Don't feel like you did something wrong." Said Ryugi. He pulled Rin into an embrace. "I don't apologize a lot, when I do it's because I mean it." (A/N: I tried so hard to not make it sound like the meme I'm so sorry) Rin wrapped his arms around Ryugi and cried into his chest.
"T-Thanks, Bon." He said. Ryugi's heart skipped a beat when he heard Rin call him Bon again.
"You know, I never thought that I would miss you calling me that so much." He said, pulling him closer and his head on Rin's. He felt Rin laugh a little and it made him smile. "Could you say it again?" joked Ryugi. Rin broke the hug and rolled his eyes.
"Quit being weird." He said. Ryugi chuckled.
"So are we friends again?" he asked. Rin nodded and Ryugi smiled. "Do you need help studying or anything?" he asked. Rin nodded. "Yeah, there are a couple things I don't get." He said, opening his book. The two sat down and studied until class was beginning. Everyone walked in and were taken back by Bon helping Rin study.
After class was over, Yukio was handing out the exams back to the class and when he handed Rin's back, he smiled.
"I'm proud of you, Rin." He said as he put the exam on Rin's desk. Rin picked it up in shock. He got a 100% on the exam.
"No way!" he shouted in excitement. He jumped out of his seat and glomped Rygui and held him close. "Thanks, Bon!" he shouted.
"Hey watch the hair!" he shouted back. "And besides, that was all you, dude." He said with a smile.
"Hey, Rin?" asked a familiar voice. He turned to see Shiemi standing with a blush on her face. "I'm sorry for being mean to you. Will you forgive me?" she said. Rin nodded.
"Of course, Shiemi. We're nakama." He said. Shiemi began to cry as she hugged Rin.
"Yeah, I think we should all apologize to you, Rin." Said Shima. He turned to see the rest of the class, standing with Shiemi. Rin smiled and tears filled up his eyes once again.
"I-I forgive you all!" he cried as he began to cry like a baby. The entire class surrounded Rin and it became one big group hug around the demon.
Yukio looked at the group with a proud look on his face. He couldn't have chosen a better class to stick with.
