sorry I was on vacation in Disney! and had writers block! anyway there will be like 2-3 more chapters.
Anyway onto the chapter!
The next day Yukio was called to Mephisto's office. As he entered, Yukio was greeted by a smiling Mephisto.
"Ah. Glad you could make it." Mephisto said.
"If you don't mind I'd like to know why I was called here, sir." Yukio said formally.
"Yes well I wanted to tell you about what has become of your brother." Mephisto said. Yukio's eye's widened under his glasses but before he could speak Mephisto continued, "He is alive and lives in a rather special place. He is only alive because of a bet I made with the Vatican. You see they believe Rin should die for he will not be able to be drawn back to us. But I say Nay! I think there is a chance of bringing Rin back to us." He looked Yukio straight in the eyes. "I want you to try to make amends with your brother and get him back on our side, but if you don't want to I understand-"
"Yes!" Yukio said.
Mephisto grinned, "I thought so. Here." He put something on his desk. It was a key! "If you want to visit Rin, this will take you to him. Now would you like to head to your class or should I have someone fill in for you?"
Yukio picked up the key, "I'll visit Rin after class. Thank you sir." And with that he left. When he entered his class room he explained to the exwires why he was late. Then, as he was setting his desk up, Sheimi asked, "Have you heard anything about Rin?"
Yukio looked over to her and saw the worry in her eyes. Then he noticed everyone else looking at him expectantly. Yukio sighed, "Rin is fine. Mephisto informed me that we should try to fix our relationships with him and to try to bring Rin back to our side. Sir. Pheles gave me a key to be able to visit him. I was planning to after class."
"Can we go with you?!" Shiemi exclaimed.
Yukio frowned, "I don't know. He might be dangerous."
"Damn it Yukio!" Bon shouted, "That's the type of attitude we used to drive him away with! You just said we had to make amends but we can't do that if you don't let us see him."
Yukio sighed, "Alright. Then we could go now since we're all here." Yukio walked over to the classroom door, took out the key and inserted it into the lock. Once he opened the door, he took a deep breath and the group entered.
When they exited they entered a stone room with a high ceiling. There was a kitchen to their left with a table with one chair and a candle lit with a blue flame. In the far corner to their right was a bed that was about 6-7 feet off the floor being held up by metal rods and under the bed was a couch. And sitting on the bed, twirling flames around his fingers, was Rin. His tail swished back and forth and sometimes he switched the fire to the opposite hand.
They stood there in silence, staring at the teen who use to be the glue that held them together with his jokes and idiocy. The teen who use to smile every day and stayed loyal to them no matter what. The teen who had claimed he'd kick Satan's ass but was now working for him.
Finally the silence was broken by Shiemi, "Rin?"
Said demon stilled. The fire just sat in his right hand and his tail froze in its swishing. But those were the only signs that showed he acknowledged their presence for he did not speak.
"Rin," She continued, "Look we're all sorry about how we treated you. We want you to come back and.."
She didn't get to say anymore for soon a wall of flames appeared and moved toward them, resulting in them having to move back and the wall disappeared once they were mere inches from the door. Getting the hint, they all left.
They continued to visit Rin when they could but they always received the same responses with only the occasional scoff. Finally Bon had enough.
"That's it!" Bon shouted when he saw the demon atop his bed. They have never seen him move from that spot. "We've apologized so many times and told you we want you to come back! Damn it Okumura! What more could you want?!"
Finally Rin spoke to them. His voice quiet and hoarse as he watched the fire upon his hands. "Want me back? No you don't. I'll just be trapped again and used as a weapon. I'll be locked away and concealed until you need use of me."
"No Rin!" Shiemi shouted, tears threatening to fall, "We want to be your friends again!"
They saw Rin shake his head, "No you don't. But what is your reason then? Because I know for a fact you don't was a dangerous blue flame spewing son of Satan as your friend. No you just want to lock me up even more at the least."
"Idiot." Izumo huffed, "We want you to be free not lock you up."
Rin let out a humorless laugh, "Free? Free?!" The fire in his hands extinguished as he turned to them. He jumped off the bed and walked toward them stopping about a foot away, "I was NOT FREE! You all grew fearful of me! The entire time I had to keep my powers hidden and in control! Then I was watched all the time and everyone got defensive if just saw my fucking tail move! As a demon I could at least use my power when I pleased and could show my true self!"
But they knew that wasn't true. They all saw how he limped when he walked and, now that he was closer, they could see small scars on his face, neck, and arms.
"You're lying, Rin." Yukio declared.
Rin's eyes narrowed, "I'm not-"
Yukio cut him off, "You are. We all clearly saw you limp over here and now we can see the scars. You weren't free. You were obviously tortured when you did something wrong and I wouldn't be surprised if it was by Satan himself."
"Why do you care?!" Rin shouted, "Why do any of you care about that?! None of you cared about me when I showed I was a demon! Not even you Yukio! My own brother! You all ran from me in fear and tried to keep me under lock and chain! You didn't care if I was injured! I'm almost positive none of you cared or even noticed! I bet none of you cared when I disappeared! At least in Gehenna I knew if I messed up and got injured or in trouble I'd most likely be left to deal with it on my own. But you?! I thought you'd at least have the heart to help me when I got injured! And most of the time it was to save your sorry asses! But no! You just left me to deal with it, staring at me with fear filled eyes as if the blood was not mine that covered me! You all just fucking treated me like the plague and spat hate filled words or shot me glares even if I just saved you! NO! I'm just the spawn of Satan who should just die! That's it isn't it?! You want me dead!"
"No we-"
Rin took a deep breath and stared, more like glared, directly at all of them, "So if you don't want me for a weapon or to lock me away or to kill me, why are you here? Why would you talk to the dangerous demon that would most likely kill you if you came in contact with it?"
They all stared at Rin, utterly speechless but all thinking the same thing. 'What have we done?' and 'We were terrible to him. Why should he forgive us?'.
Rin looked at them all then scoffed, "That's what I thought." And he hopped back onto his bed and began to play with his fire again.
So there you go!
