OH MY GOODNESS! We have already reached 10 favourites and 14 followers. IT IS ONLY THE THIRD CHAPTER! This story is going better than expected. This one has changed slightly but Rin's secret animal characteristic is still revealed. There was a lot of Rizumo in the first draft but I scrapped it so now there isn't as much. Soz :(. Well anyways, here is chapter 3. Enjoy!
Warning, Hints of Rizumo (not as much as I would of liked though).
What happened today was to never be spoken of again.
~#*~#*
The bell at True cross Academe had just rung, signalling the start of lunch. Rin, Bon, Shima and Konukumra were on their way to their usual spot at the fountain. They arrived and Rin and Bon started arguing about stupid stuff as usual.
"Are you that stupid?" The brown and yellow haired boy screeched at the blue haired demon.
"Don't call me stupid you over grown roster!" The younger snapped back.
"Ugh they always do this," Konukumra sighed, focusing on his lunch.
"Hey Izumo!" Shima called out, completely ignoring Konukumra, "You're looking fine. Maybe we could grab dinner together or something?"
Izumo and Shiemi, were making their way over to where the boys sat.
"You really thing I would go out with you?" The purple haired teen scoffed, 'I would rather stick Okumura's sword in my head."
Pouting in defeat, Shima, backed off.
"Speaking of the, idiot," The ruby red eyed teen began, "Where is h-,"
She was cut off by a loud splash and a lot of cursing and yelling.
"OW!" Bon wailed.
"AH!" Rin screeched shortly after.
"YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT OKUMURA!" The angry teen said.
Everyone around the fountain looked around to where the yelling was coming from.
Rin and Bon had pushed each other into the fountain and Bon was now holding his arm in a hurt, protective manner. Rin on the other hand was shrieking trying to escape.
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WATER?" He cried.
"Aw is it too cold for little Riny-roo?" Bon mocked.
"NO IT IS BURNING MY FLESH OFF!" The sapphire eyed teen screamed out in absolute fear.
Bon's smile dropped in realisation. He could see his "friend" struggling to get out of the water and little amounts of steam floating off him.
"QUICK!" The roster like teen called out to the people down below, "HELP ME GET RIN OUT!"
"Why? What's wrong?" One of the junior boy's stupidly asked from below.
"BECAUSE THIS IS TRUE CROSS ACADEME, SO THE FOUNTAIN MORE THAN LIKELY HAS HOLY WATER IN IT STUPID!" Bon screeched out.
"Oh no," Shiemi whimpered.
"It'll be okay candle," The elder boy comforted his demon friend who was thrashing around in pain.
"Can't you get him out yourself?" The pink haired teen called out to the brown and yellow haired teen.
"No I think I broke my arm falling in," The teen admitted weakly.
The True Cross students were so shocked, none of the noticed Yukio walking over.
"What's going on here?" Yukio boomed out over the ruckus.
"Okumura-kun and Suguro-kun fell into the fountain," A short blonde girl at the back replied.
Yukio's eyes widened in fear.
Rin was in the fountain.
"EVERYBODY OUT OF THE ROAD!" The chestnut haired exorcist yelled, pushing people aside to get to the front.
Once at the front, Yukio's aqua eyes saw the damage.
Shiemi was crying out of fear for her friend with Izumo comforting her. Konkumura was talking to Shima about how to get them out of there without hurting Rin or getting hurt by Rin.
"NII-SAN!" Yukio called out to his twin after a second of thinking.
"YUKI-CHAN!" The elder twin cried back, "GET ME OUT OF HERE!'
Yukio noticed that his nii-san was starting to hyperventilate as his skin slowly turned a pinkly colour. Even though it was only grade 9 holy water, it could still do serious damage if a demon is exposed to it for too long.
"BON!" The youngest Okumura called out to the elder boy, "ARE YOU OKAY?"
"No," Izumo cut in, "He broke his arm. We need to get them both out of there!"
A little shocked by the purple haired girl's actions, Yukio told the ex-wires the plan.
Since he was part demon, he couldn't go anywhere near the fountain so he instructed Shima to help Rin out of the top part then Konkurmura will help him out of the bottom half of the fountain. That would then give Bon the chance to get out himself.
Once in position, Shima began helping Rin out. He did not expect him to flame up.
"WHOA!" The pink haired teen screamed as his demon friend burst into blue hell flames.
"GAH!" The navy haired teen screeched as the holy water put out his flames.
"CONTROL YOUR FLAMES NII-SAN!" The tall, young, exorcist called out to his brother.
"I-I c-can't," Rin stuttered through clenched teeth, eyes squinted shut in pain.
Izumo was so worried for Rin. Not just because he was her ticket for an A, but he was her friend. A really good friend.
She ran up to the fountain and climbed up to where Rin sat.
"You can do it Okumura!" She yelled at him, "Come on get up, you can do it!"
Breathing heavily, the half-demon child slowly pushed himself up on shaking legs. His flames lessened and his eyes slowly began to open.
"That's it," The purple haired teen whispered to herself.
Hooking an arm around her demon friend, the young ex-wire helped him out of the fountain.
Once free of the fountains clutches, Rin, rushed to the ground, panting and sighing in relief.
Bon soon jumped out of the fountain and rushed to the young teen's side.
"You okay Okumura?" He asked with great worry etched upon his face.
"Ha," The sapphire eyed twin laughed, "I recon I am doing better than you."
"Oh shut up you bloody candle," The brown eyed boy snapped.
"RIN!" Yukio screamed, rushing to his brother's aid, "You alright?"
"Yeah," He breathed, "But I think roster head over here isn't."
"That doesn't look good," Yukio winced looking at the other ex-wire's arm.
It was bent in an awkward direction and had gone a nasty shade of purple, not to mention it had blown up like a balloon.
"Yeah," The pierced boy sighed, "I think I broke it but don't worry, I'll live."
"Hm," Yukio muttered, looking over the arm.
"Ow," Bon hissed as Yukio touched a particularly sore part.
The school bell went signalling the end of lunch. No one moved.
"Alright," Yukio called out across the crowded of students, "Go to your classes."
A lot of complaints were heard across the crowd but died down as everyone left. Everyone except the ex-wire team.
"I will write you guys up a late note," The youngest Okumura stated, "But right now I need your help getting these two to the infirmary."
"Wait, did I hear you correct?" Rin asked giving of a fanged yawn as he did so.
"Yes," Yukio sighed, "I don't trust your word so you're coming too."
"But I am-," Rin couldn't finish as a loud yawn intruded his sentence.
"I rest my case," Rin's otouto muttered looking down at his twin, "Izumo, Shiemi, you guys are in charge of Rin. Shima, Konukmura, you have Bon. Let's go."
The 5 helped their friends to the infirmary, with much protest from their demon friend, and helped get them the right treatment.
"Guy's," The young Satan spawn muttered tiredly, "'M fine."
The 2 female ex-wires were not convinced.
"Yeah," Izumo laughed, "That's why you can hardly keep your eyes open."
"Hm?" Rin mumbled.
"Okay Rin," Shiemi's sweet voice chimed in, "This may sting."
She grabbed the blue haired boy's right arm and began applying an anti-bacterial herb to it.
A soft hiss and sharp flinch admitted from the young demons body.
"Oh sorry!" Shiemi squeaked.
"He'll be fine Shiemi," The ruby eyed teen sigh, putting a comforting hand on her friends shoulder as she did so.
'I hope,' She added in her head.
"Y-you're r-right," The emerald eyed girl gulped.
Soft snores stopped their train of thought.
Both girl's turned to see their friend asleep on the rock hard, hospital bed. Shiemi cooed and Izumo smiled when they saw how cute he is when he sleeps.
"He was so sleepy," Shiemi smiled, brushing away a fey of Rin's bangs from his sleeping face.
"Yeah," Izumo whispered.
The short haired teenager proceed to remove the messy haired teenager's shoes and the long haired teenager pulled the covers over her demon friend once his shoes were removed.
The two females, sat there watching their sleeping friend until they were brought back to reality by the sound of a deep male voice.
"How's R-?" Yukio didn't get to finish his sentence as he was shhhed by the 2 girls at the same time.
He looked over to where his nii-san was, and found a sleeping child instead of a punky teen.
"So he finally passed out?" The tall teen whispered with a light smile.
"Yeah," Shiemi sighed, smiling also.
"He's so peaceful when he sleeps," The usually bossy teen observed.
"What was that?" Her female friend whispered in shock.
"Nothing!" She whisper snapped back, "You heard nothing!"
"Whatever you say," Yukio quietly laughed, "Come on, let's let nii-san sleep."
Sheimi got up to leave and Yukio grabbed the edge of the curtain to give his little nii-san some privacy. As they were about to exit they realised that Izumo hadn't moved.
"Aren't you coming?" Shiemi asked her best, girl friend (Rin was her best boy friend).
Blushing, Izumo shook her head.
"I," She stuttered, "I might stay for a bit longer."
The shocked the duo.
Izumo was going to stay with Rin?
"Well," Yukio cleared his throat, "Don't be too long."
With that, Yukio, pulled the curtains around the bed to give the 2 some privacy, and left with Shiemi.
Sighing. Izumo leaned back in her chair.
She sat there for what felt like ages, thinking about what happened today and if Rin was okay, until she heard a soft *thump* *thump* *thump*.
Izumo, looked around for the source of the noise and found out where it was coming from.
Rin's tail was gently thumping against the bed.
Curious about it, Izumo, reached out to touch the soft appendage.
The fur atop of it was silky smooth and soft. It was almost like patting her,
"My cat's tail?" She whispered to herself.
Rin's tail was acting just like her old cat, Suzuki's, tail. It felt the same and kinda looked the same.
"I wonder," Izumo whispered to herself.
She carefully reached out for the navy blue appendage and slowly picked it up and placed it on her lap.
Rubbing her thumb over the tip of the tail, she remembered doing this with her cat. Suzuki, loved it when she did this, it soothed him.
Smiling at the fond memories, Izumo stopped realising how stupid she was being.
Rin was not her desist cat. He was her friend. Not some petty furry companion.
As soon as she halted her petting, Rin's tail, slowly began to thump her leg as if asking for more.
Shocked by the actions of the tail, she continued to stroke the demon tail.
After a little while a soft buzzing like purr was heard.
Was Rin purring?
Leaning closer to see if he was, Izumo noticed that he was indeed purring.
Was Rin a cat?
As that thought crossed her mind, she remembered something she read online.
On a page about demon theory, it stated that it was believed demons held some form of animal characteristic. It maybe be unlocked when, angry, happy, sad or confused. The site also said it could be unleashed when they feel pain or pleasure.
Could that be true?
Could Rin be a cat when he experiences pleasure?
The purple haired girl stopped her stroking and looked down at her blue haired, friend's face. He stopped purring as soon as her hand left the soft tip of the tail.
Deciding it would be a good time to leave, she stood up and left Rin to sleep.
After grabbing a note from Okumura sensei, she went to her class with this thought in her mind,
Rin is a cat on the inside.
