DISCLAIMER: It's not mine!

"Well... after that, like I said, we went back home to the Monastery..." Rin started. This would be hard to say. What would they think after he told them that Shiro had died because of him? "And after that he told me to..." Rin began to trail off. It still hurt to think his father had tried to kick him out, even if it was for his own safety "He told me to pack my things and... leave"

"Wait, what?" Ryuji asked "You figured it out and he gave you the boot?"

"No, it-" Rin tried to explain

"What kind of father does that?"

"He just threw you out?" A chorus of comments like those came from the group, as Rin continued to try to explain. Eventually, he just yelled loud enough for his voice to overpoower the others:

"It was becuse the Monestary wasn't safe!" The others were puzzled.

"But wasn't he the paladin?" Konekomaru asked "he should be able to stand against a few demons"

"No, he- wait, how did you know he was paladin?" Rin asked. Yukio answered it for him.

"We learned it in class Rin. Unless you weren't paying attention"

"No, I, umm..." Rin quickly thought of a way to change the subject "Well the Monestary wasn't safe anymore because the demons knew I had 'awakened' so-to-speak. There'd be tons heading for the Monestary. So he handed me my stuff and then" His hand went for his sword, which was on his back, like usual. Funny, he didn't remember grabbing it... He figured it must have been so automatic that grabbing it didn't even register anymore. He must've gotten it went he went to 'escape' earlier. "He opened a drawer with this key thing, like the ones we use to get to Cram School. It was called the 'Key of Vanishing' I think and he handed me the Kurikara and told me to never open it or else... and then he gave me his phone, and told me to leave and call the number on the phone. The person was his friend and should protect me, but then I..."

This was the part he was dreading. He didn't want to tell them about his father's death, but this is what they were here to know.

"You...?" Shima asked.

"I... got upset" Rin said. He looked down, suddenly finding the floor very interesting "I yelledd at him because I thought he didn't care about me anymore because I wasn't really human anymore. I said something I really regret and..." Rin didn't want to talk anymore. He really wished he had tested his luck jumping out the window.

"Rin?" Sheimi asked, concerned.

"and that's how Satan got in."

"What did you say?" Ryuji asked.

"What?" Rin looked up from the floor.

"What did you say to him that let Satan in?" Ryuji clarified.

"I got upset and told him that I... didn't want to see him acting like he was my dad ever again" Rin looked back at the floor again. Ryuji thought about the fight he got in with his dad at the temple, when Rin had jumped in and got in the way. He had said something similar to his own father, than Rin had told him he would regret it later.

"Then Satan took over" Rin visibly shuddered. "He broke Shiro's hand a built a Gehenna gate and tried to drag me 'home'" More shuddering. "Oh god that gate was disgusting. It was a bunch of little, slimy, black heads. And they moved and wiggled around"

"Didn't you, like, freak out?" Shima asked. Clearly, he was thinking of bugs.

"Yeah, but no one was around except me and him" he replied darkly "So no one heard me"

"But then how did you get out?" Konekomaru asked.

"Shiro. He broke the posession for a few seconds. Enough time to... Enough time to stab himself in the heart so that Satan couldn't..." he trailed off. "He said I was his son, and he was taking me back." Rin was staring at the floor, but he looked about ready to cry. "And then he fell into the gate. I thought that maybe if I destroyed it I could save him? So I..." he reached for his sword "used Kurikara. It... didn't work" his voice cracked. "When I unsheathed it, the seal broke and I really became a demon."

Rin finished his tale, saying finally "You wanted to know" and getting up and leaving "I'm making dinner" he said as he walked out, leaving Yukio and the others to think over the story they had just been told.

So I know I took a while, but this chapter had me stumped. I'M REALLY SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!

With a combination of real life and writer's block this chapter took longer to write than it should have, but it's here now so yay!

Almost done guys! Ooooh that's so cool!
