A/N: Hello, sorry for not updating in months I just wanted to finish writing two chapters for this but I ended up not doing so and the time difference for when I last updated and now was becoming way way way too long for me. Sorry about that but I hope you like this chapter and will continue reading.

Chapter Six: Beloved Demon
Rin's POV
It has been a week since the Christmas party and I found out I have a crush on Suguro which isn't good, plus I want to tell someone and there are only two people I can tell. Yukio would probably think it's wrong while I don't know how Sheimi would act, after a while I chose to tell Sheimi after class and public torture.
I tried really hard to concentrate in class but it was increasingly difficult when I had to read the assignment on the board. Sheimi helped me read the board however the assignment was harder because I couldn't read it and Sheimi isn't good with modern herbs.
After class ended I went to the courtyard fountain to be a dart board for Reiji and his gang, as usual it hurt because the sharp darts were covered in holy water. When it was over and everyone left I had to put the Maromia powder on the left over Cesnica bread from the Christmas party since Sheimi couldn't be here to help.
I thought the Cesnica would be bad because it's been a week but it wasn't stale yet so it was quite good, it wasn't as great as when it came out of the oven but that's to be expected. I went to a random door and inserted the key Sheimi gave me before opening it and seeing the familiar bridge that leads to her mother's shop.
When I crossed the bridge I took my time admiring her grandmother's garden that grows a few of the herbs that are in stock at the store. When I was done admiring the garden I entered the store to see it was really crowded like she said it would be.
I saw Sheimi at the counter putting herbs on the shelves before walking up to the counter and tapping the bell startling her with the sudden noise. "Rin?! You scared me" she said after she twirled around to face me "heh heh sorry" I said laughing and scratching my head making her smile at me.
"What are you doing here Rin? I thought I told you I was busy all week" she asked me most likely thinking she forgot to "you did, I just wanted to tell you something" I said making her sigh in, I think, relief. "Mom! I'm going on break!" Sheimi yelled before hearing her answer 'ok' and dragging me out to the garden "so what is it you want to talk about?" she asked me when we sat down on a bench near some herbs and chrysanthemums.
I took a breath before speaking "please don't make a big deal out of it" I said confusing her "Rin what is it?" she asked and I could tell what I said worried her. "Just don't make a big deal out of it" I said and she nodded "I think I might have developed a crush on Suguro" I said surprised that it was easier than I thought it would be.
"That's great" she said excitedly clapping her hands together "I'm so happy for you Rin" she continued giving me a hug when she said it. "Please don't tell anyone" I said making her pout "Sheimi, I don't want anyone to know" I said making her cross her arms before she spoke.
"You told me" she said making me turn towards her and away from the shop "you're different, I didn't know whether you would be mad, happy, or debate whether it was right or wrong like my brother would" I said making her gape at me. "How could you think I would disapprove? No one's approval or disapproval determines who you fall for Rin" she told me sounding agitated with a slightly raised voice.
I know she's right but I also know my brother wouldn't approve and I wanted to tell someone "I know but I wanted to tell someone without being ridiculed" I said causing her to smile softly at me. "No one can choose your beloved Rin, not even you" she told me making me smile, even if my brother disapproves she is correct.
My brother can't choose who I fall for so telling him and him disapproving won't change that I've fallen for Suguro. "Thank you" I said making her smile "your welcome now I have to get back to work, see you tomorrow" she said hugging me before going inside.
"Yeah see you tomorrow" I said smiling before leaving the garden and crossing the bridge, I inserted the key into the lock and opened the door seeing the abandoned dormitory's kitchen. I walked through shutting the door and grabbing the key before deciding to make Saltimbocca and Summer Salad before going to bed.
I finished making and eating the food before heading to my shared room, when I entered the room I saw Yukio sitting at his desk so I decided to greet him before going to bed. "Hey Yukio" I said before he waved his hand going back to work right after, I decided to just say good night and not bother him anymore since he's busy.
"Good night Yukio" I said and he said the same thing with my name instead of his finally saying something, I followed what I decided not asking him what he was doing or how the rest of his day went. Not asking what he was doing would be my last mistake that night because the next day there was a test which I had failed miserably getting a lecture form Yukio making me late, because I was late I was tortured worse and for longer that day.
A/N: I finished writing this on my kindle at 10:18 P.M. on January 7, 2016. I hope you like this chapter and will continue reading, see you next time.
