"What would happen if you ever married a man? Would you still be my partner in crime?" Shiro asked Akemi.

She gave a faint smile at him as she looked down.

"What, do you want to marry me?" She closed her eyes.

"No, I'm just asking. Would you still be with me?" She lowered her eyes.

"If I was ever married, to a man. I would still be your partner and still be with you, it's because of the things we've done everything, what we've been through, the times that I thought we were going to die. Those were memories that no one will ever replace and no one will try to take." Shiro smiled at Akemi.

"That's good."

"Our class is going to walk around the festival while other classes are working. We were given a turn to see what others are doing for the festival." The teacher told Class 1-2.

The class walked around the campus, Rin and Shima were walking together.

"And I heard there's a maid cafe, the girls are wearing short dresses." Shima gave a smile.

Rin had his eyes lowered, he thought about the other day.

"I may have some feelings for her, but it's not like that I love her more than anything in the world. I'm half demon, demons can't love. We were born that way, we destroy and kill. I don't want to her to know that I am a monster."

Shura stared at him with a small smile.

"You really have a big heart for everyone, you know that? You really care for Akari, no matter what you are."

Rin stopped walking.

I don't...want Akari to know that I'm a monster. She doesn't even...know about the blue flames.

"Come on Rin, we've got to go the booth." Shima told him, Rin walked as he thought to himself.

What would happen if she saw me in my demon form? Would she leave me or...would she hate me?

Hours later

The class walked upstairs to the classroom festivals, Rin saw Akari's classroom number.

The other side of the door was filled with loud voices and music. Rin gave a look.

I wonder what's on the other side.

He walked away from the door, Sheimi poked her head out of the door and saw Rin.

"Rin!" He turned around to her.

"Sheimi." She gave a smile at him.

"Are you wanting to go in the room? You have to wait a little bit, there's a lot of people and it's kinda busy at the moment." Rin's eyes lowered.

Sheimi looked at him with a look.

She took out some pieces of paper and gave it to Rin.

He looked at her.

"What are these?"

"They're kinda like coupons but they let you go in without waiting in line." Rin gave a small smile at her.

"Thanks Sheimi." He walked away from her, Sheimi gave a faint smile.

Akari looked out the door, she felt the pain in her chest. She touched her chest with her hand.

Rin...I don't want you to see who I'm really am...the monster inside of me.

The class walked away from a booth to the next.

"That was a weird classroom festival." Bon said.

"Yeah, you're right. It was weird." Izumo said to him.

Rin heard a meow, he turned and saw the dog.

It's that dog, the one that sounds like a cat. What's it doing here?

The dog meowed at him and walked behind a post, the dog disappered.

"I don't..." Sheimi ran to the group.

"Have any of you seen Akari Sasaki? She's gone missing." She asked them.

"What?" Rin's eyes went wide.

"She was in the changing room and when I looked, she was gone." Rin ran to the building.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Rin didn't say anything only ran inside the building. He looked around him and ran up the stairs.

Where could she be?

"Stop!" Akari yelled outloud.

"Come on girl, just show us a little of that." The guy stood over Akari.

The three guys were all around her, she was standing against the wall.

The guy grabbed her wrist.

"Let go!" He put his hand on her thigh, she tried to escape from him but he pushed her against the wall.

He put his hand on her throat and moved his hand up, under her dress.

Akari closed her eyes at them, she felt the pain in her chest.

Kill them, they should die like the rest that want to touch your body.

No...I won't listen to you.

Akari opened her eyes a little, she stared at the door.

Rin, please...I need you...

She shooked her head.

"RIN!" Akari yelled screamed out.

Rin heard screaming.

Akari.

He felt someone on his foot, he looked down and saw Akari's cross necklace.

He picked it up and held on it, he ran to Akari's screaming.

"Shut up!" The guy slapped her across the face.

She fell hit her head on the wall and fell onto the floor.

Rin ran into the classroom, he saw the three guys in the room. They were standing above Akari, who was passed out on the floor with a red mark on her cheek.

Rin felt a anger inside of him, he ran after the guys and started to beat them up.

"You hurt her you bastard!" Rin punched the guy in the face, he fell back against the desk.

Blood started to fall down from his nose, then the glass windows started to rumble.

"What the-" The windows shattered, stabbing the guys with it's sharp pieces.

Rin was going to take out his sword but he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't. If you do that, you will be in more trouble than you are now."

The voice told him, Rin's eyes lowered at the guy. He was afraid and wet his pants.

Rin put the sword on the floor.

"Leave. Now." The guy nodded, his friends picked him up and ran out of the room.

Rin looked at Akari and bend down to her.

"Akari?" Akari opened her eyes a little, she looked at him.

"Rin..." She sat up and put her head against his chest. "I thought you wouldn't come. I thought you were just going to leave me alone with those guys, I thought you were going to let them rape me."

Akari started to cry. Rin stared at her, he put his hand on her head.

"I would never do that to you, I would stab myself in the arm f you were ever raped. I won't let anyone hurt you." Akari put her hand on Rin's, he held it and smiled at her.

"Let's go back to the others, they've been looking for you."

Few mintues later

Rin walked in the room with Akari, they put their intertwined hands behind them.

"Akari!" Sheimi hugged her. "I thought you ran away."

Akari put her hand on her back.

"I'm okay now." Sheimi looked up at her, she saw the red mark on her cheek.

"What happened to you? You have that red mark on your face." Izumo told her. She put her hand on her cheek, her cheek stinged.

"I was slapped by the guys that kidnapped me. But then Rin saved me from them." Rin scratched the back of his neck.

Sheimi saw blood on his shoulder.

"Rin! You're bleeding!" Rin looked at his shoulder, blood was on his black jacket.

"I guess it is."

"I'll heal you!" Sheimi grabbed his arm, Rin let go of Akari's hand and was pushed into a chair.

"Nii! I need some aloe!" Akari stood at the curtain, she stared at Rin's hand and hers.

I...miss that warmth...of his hand...

Akari saw her cross necklace wrapped around his hand.

"Rin, that's my cross necklace." He looked at her and down to his hand.

"Oh, I found it on the floor near the classroom where you was." Sheimi was done wrapping his arm in a sling.

He stood up and unwrapped the necklace from his hand, he gave it to Akari.

"I thought you wanted it back since it's yours." Akari stared at Rin and looked at the necklace, she took it from his hand.

She wrapped it around her wrist and stared at it.

"It's pretty old for a necklace but it's still not broken." She gave a smile at Rin.

They stared at each others eyes for a moment.

"Akari! You need to go!" Akari looked away from Rin and at Paku.

"Okay. I have to go work now." She walked to the other curtain, she looked at Rin for a second and disappered from the room.

"Can you stay?" Rin looked at Sheimi.

"What?"

"For Akari, you make her happy. Please stay for the show." Rin gave a faint smile.

"Sure, I'll stay." Sheimi smiled at him.

In the classroom

Everyone was sitting at a table, Rin sat with Shima, Izumo, Bon and Konekomaru.

"I wonder what's the theme?" Rin looked around the room.

There was tiny christmas lights around the room and bright colors.

"I think it's a cosplay theme." Konekomaru said as he saw a student in a anime costume.

The curtains became bright pink as the spotlight hit it.

The curtains opened and Akari was standing with a microphone.

She was wearing a short white dress, a pink wig and a rose crown on her head.

"She's Megurine Luka!" She started to sing a song.

Rin gave a smile at her.

She's looks happy. I'm happy too.

Rin saw a woman with black hair standing at one end of the curtain. She was staring at Akari with a smile on her face.

Where have I seen her before?

"Don't. If you do that, you will be in more trouble than you are now."

That voice, where have I heard it before?

At Mephisto's office

Mephisto walked around the room, he thinked as he walked.

He stopped walking as he looked at the full body mirror, he walked in front of it and stared at his refection.

He turned around, facing his back in front of it.

"What should I do? Akari and Rin need to be more closer." He bit his fingernail.

He heard a crack, he turned around. The vase fell to the floor, the water was on the carpet and flowers were losing the water they needed.

"Now who would do that?"

"The mirror"

He turned around as he heard the voice but no one was behind him, he looked at the mirror and walked closer to it.

He stared at it, he saw a small reflection of a woman with black hair.

She was giving a faint look at him.

"Akari is going to lose hereself soon. You must do something."

Mephisto gave a happy look at the reflection.

"Liebe. It's you." He turned around and the woman was gone.

He gave a sad look, he saw something on the floor.

He picked it up and stared at it.

It was a heart shaped rosary that had a small ring around it. Mephisto held on to it and started to cry.

He hit his desk and his knees fell to the floor.

"Du bist die Liebe meines Lebens."

Du bist die Liebe meines Lebens & Liebe are words in german, I can't tell you what they mean but you have to look it up! :D
