Chapter Three: Belated Demon
Third Person POV
"There's going to be a new student joining our class today so I want all of you to be polite and welcome this student" Yukio informed the class looking pointedly at Suguro "is that understood?" he continued as he wrote the assignment on the board. 'Where's the new student anyway?' Suguro had thought annoyed 'they're late' his thoughts continued even more annoyed if possible. 'I wonder who it is?' Sheimi wondered curiously as she wrote down her assignment "do you know who the new student is Izumo? I hope he/she is nice" Paku asked her friend as she conjoined her hands and rested her chin on them. "I don't, though it's not like I'm going to be their friend" Izumo answered Paku in a bored tone as the doors flew open revealing a slightly exhausted Rin.
"You're late, take a seat" Yukio told his brother as he opened a roster like book "don't I have to introduce myself?" Rin asked confused, and it definitely showed. "Oh right, everyone this is Rin Okumura the one I was talking about earlier, you can address him as you see fit, now can you take your seat Rin?" Yukio announced thoroughly annoyed with his brother at the moment. "Rin! I didn't know you were going to attend this academy, you should've told me" Sheimi said loudly gaining much attention since she rarely does such things.
Rins POV
"Well I forgot you worked near here, plus we don't have any way to communicate, so I guess we're both at fault" I said surprised to see a friendly face around here. "I guess that's true… Hey Rin? Why is everyone staring at us?" I heard her ask me as I sat down in the chair next to hers, I looked around to see multiple sets of eyes directed toward us and that my brother was slack jawed at his desk. "Is there something wrong Yukio? You can start your lesson anytime" I said hoping not to cause any trouble for my brother. With that everyone started my brother's lesson, I on the other hand worried for what would happen after class ended.
"Rin your answers" my brother called before he asked another with the name of Suguro up to his desk, Suguro in a way sauntered up to my brother. "Thank you Yukio" I said as I grabbed my paper, I had gotten a better grade than I expected, I got a thirty-two percent which isn't bad since I couldn't really read it that well. "Rin you need to work harder, you do know what will happen if you fail this class right?" Yukio asked me from his desk making many laugh, I faked a smile at their attempt to make me falter.
The bell rang shortly after that making my blood run cold and boil at the same time, I got up bringing my pre-test with me as I headed towards the exit. "What'd you get on the test? I'm sure it was horrible" I heard a voice say just as I exited the classroom "remember not to be late, demon heir" the voice continued before my test was knocked out of my hands when someone bumped into me. "Oh great, are you okay?" I asked as I turned around to see if the person was okay or not "yea I'm peachy… Gehenna no!" the person exclaimed holding his nose, though it didn't hide the fact that it was bleeding.
"I'm in so much trouble" I sighed under my breath as I saw Yukio walk up behind the man who fell, I think his name was Suguro "he bumped into me causing him to fall and me to be late to a prior engagement" I informed my brother in a professional like tone as I don't want to trouble him any further. I extended my hand out to the man on the ground but he swiped or smacked it away "I don't need help from a belated idiot" Suguro said making me wince. "Speaking of belated, I'll be even more of such thing and I can't be late to my appointment, now if you no longer require me I'll be going" I said looking at my brother who nodded his head.
'I'm so late, I'm so late, I am so late!' I kept repeating in my head as I ran to the courtyard fountain "you're late!" I heard the same voice from earlier say in a sing song voice. "Yes I am and there's no excuse for my tardiness" I replied to the demon trying to catch my breath along the way "why are you being so polite? Do you think you're better than us you filthy demon?" Reigi continued except with a bit more venom this time.
'Why do I keep forgetting to not know anything around him?' I thought as he walked closer to me as a crowd started gathering around us "uh nope, don't mean to do that though I am here as I promised, what is it that you're going to do?" I asked caulking my head slightly to the right. "Punishment for getting me into trouble with that idiot of a guardian you had what else?" he asked in return which made me furious "ok… so what's the punishment again?" I asked feigning idiocy.
"Holy water combined with knives, but it would have to be in the woods since there are many spectators here at the moment" I heard Reigi answer looking around cautiously "but wouldn't it show your high power if you demonstrated it in public instead of seclusion?" I asked knowing if I was lying in a secluded area no one would find me and I wouldn't be healed properly. "Well I don't see any teachers or other faculty so why not?" Reigi said pointing to the fountain knowing I would go there "good demon, now sit and stay" Reigi commanded and I complied. As I sat down I saw Reigi drench a total of five knives in holy water before he turned to me and threw them, hitting my arms and legs seeming careful not to hit any vital spots.
I tried not to scream as the knives collided with my body, after a while full of pain all the knives were used up covering my limbs in blood "Rin? Is that you?" I heard a familiar voice say before I looked up from my body to see a horrified Sheimi. "Don't Sheimi, I'm fine don't worry" I said, my voice kipping over Reigi, his gang, and the entirety of the crowd with the exception of Sheimi. She nodded but I could tell she didn't like it "now remember Rin, every seven months you're to meet Akira here for his go and you know he'll do a lot worse than I" I heard Reigi say before he turned around and said 'see ya tomorrow'.
After everyone dispersed Sheimi ran towards me carrying a first aid kit "what're you doin' here Sheimi?" I asked her as she pulled the knives out one by one making me wince each and every time. "I heard there was trouble by the fountain so I came to see what it was all about just to find out it was Reigi and his lackeys torturing you" she answered pulling out the Maromia I gave her four years ago. She started grinding a petal in a portable grinding bowl making me eat it after she put the powder on a takuyaki ball. "Now tell me what that was about?" she asked as my wounds started to heal.
'Should I tell Sheimi about the deal? I wasn't told not to just that no one was to interfere' I thought carefully as I felt my wounds slowly close up thanks to the Maromia flower. "Well Rin?" I heard Sheimi ask again so I decided to tell her "it was a deal, one that no one should interfere with or else they'll tell everyone about my disabilities and my father" I said before I continued again. "If more than two people in our exwire class finds out my lineage and powers I'll have to pass the exorcist exam that summer or I'll be executed" I said taking a breath.
I heard Sheimi gasp when I finished my explanation "are you going to be able to? Your disabilities make it hard for you to read Japanese" I heard her say her voice cracking a bit, when I looked up I noticed she was crying. "Don't worry Sheimi, I still have time as long as only you and Yukio know my lineage" I said hastily hoping to calm her anxiety down a bit.
"Maybe I can tutor you so you can be a little more ready for the exam" Sheimi exclaimed excitedly at her idea but I didn't want to hurt her feelings so I agreed to her idea. "Alright but I have two conditions that go along great with your idea" I said not regretting what I'm about to ask of her, much. "I'll do anything so you won't die, it would break a lot of people's hearts if yours stopped" I heard her say causing me to smile at her words.
"Very well" I said before I continued "condition one: you have to come here when I call to help heal me and condition two: I teach you about the demonic flowers my father showed me" I said and she seemed shocked but nodded none the less. "Conditions accepted" she said straightening her back when she said it, I started chuckling slightly before it was cut off when my phone started ringing.
"Rin! Where in the Gehenna are you?! You were supposed to be here half and hour ago!" my brother yelled when I answered the phone causing my to flinch "I'm with Sheimi, she also agreed to helping me with the exorcist exam" I said creating a silence as Sheimi cleaned the blood off my arms and legs. "V-Very w-we-well say hi to Sheimi for me" I heard him stutter before he told me to come home when I'm done and said his goodbye before hanging up not even waiting for my response before he hung up.
I chuckled at my brothers actions while I stared at my phone for a few minutes before putting it away "Who called and what was it about?" I heard Sheimi ask with a confused facial expression. "My brother, he says hi, apparently this is my belated day" I said chuckling and she followed shortly after.
"Guessin' you have to go then?" I heard her ask before getting her stuff and putting it away as I answered with a simple 'yes' as I got up as well to leave "see ya Rin and tell Yukio I say hi as well" I heard her call as we exited the opposite sides of the courtyard. "I will!" I called back as I left the courtyard heading towards my shared dormitory "your belated brother is home and Sheimi says hi!" I called out loud enough for all the dorm walls to hear.
"Okay, okay you don't have to shout Rin I heard you" I heard Yukio say sounding very annoyed as he walked out of the dining hall. "Sorry want me to be quieter?" I asked teasingly in a whisper loud enough for him to hear "yes, however I want you to use your inside voice" he said and I smiled at him.
"Very well" I said louder than a whisper but softer than a shout or yell "that's better, now you have to study" I heard Yukio say as I fought back the groan threating to escape my mouth. I don't really see a need to do such a thing when I can't even read what the paper says "very well" I said trying very hard to not complain.
"Here" I heard Yukio say when we were in our shared dorm room, he handed me a sheet of paper with questions I couldn't read on it "answer question one through five and don't answer unless you know it" I heard him say finally making me groan. I read the first question: ou sont les motifs sacres? (1) I skipped the question because I couldn't read it or guess what it could be.
Question two: Qui peut ouvrir les portes de la Gehenna? (2) Which I also skipped, same with the other three "here" I said never looking up to meet Yukios gaze. "Rin? You can answer many of these just fine so why aren't you?" I heard my brother ask, his tone was full of annoyance and worry.
"Which ones could I have answered?" I asked hearing Yukio sigh "number two, three, and five" he answered and I froze then asked what they said when I could speak again. "Number two, who can open up the gate to Gehenna?" I sighed before Yukio spoke again because I could've answered that one "number three, who is the king of demons?" I sighed in defeat before I got up from the chair at my desk. "Question four… hey Rin what are you doing? You have to study" I heard Yukio say and I answered with 'it's late and we have school tomorrow' before I fell asleep on my bed. "Fine we'll continue this tomorrow, good night Rin" I heard Yukios voice say but it was muffled before I was fully asleep.
