Rin watched anxiously as Yukio examined Kuro. "Well, how is he?" Yukio shook his head.
"Whoever or whatever did this certainly was strong. Otherwise Kuro couldn't have gotten hurt so badly. He's got multiple lacerations, quite a few bruises, and a broken leg." He looked Rin in the eye seriously. "Rin, I know you're not gonna' like hearing this, but I'm going to have to re-break Kuro's leg." Rin immediately went on the defensive for his familiar.
"WHAT? WHY?" Yukio adjusted his glasses.
"If I don't break his leg, when it heals, it could be completely out of form and impede his movements." Rin thought this over for a moment.
"Okay, but on one condition." Yukio asked what that was. "I'll be the one to do it." Yukio was surprised by this, but when he saw the determined look on his brother's face he nodded. When Rin placed his hands on Kuro, his familiar stirred slightly and opened his eyes a bit.
R-rin?
"Kuro, listen to me, I'm going to have to hurt you. But after I do, it will help you heal. Are you okay with that?"
Yes, I trust you Rin.With these thought-spoken words, Rin gently took hold of Kuro's broken front leg. Had his familiar always seemed this small, this fragile? It broke easier than he had expected, with his demon strength Kuro's leg re-broke with a snap like a breaking twig. Kuro cried out in pain as the bone crunched. Yukio immediately began setting the limb. Once that was done, he applied medicines and bandages to all of the other wounds until all of Kuro's wounds were bandaged.
"He'll still need to be treated, but he'll be fine."
Rin nodded in understanding. Once Yukio was done Rin picked up Kuro close to him. His warmth made Kuro sleepy and soon he was sound asleep in Rin's arms. Rin walked slowly over to his bed, and lay down, making sure that Kuro right beside him. Yukio watched them fall asleep, and picked up his phone when he felt it vibrating softly in his pocket.
"Hello, Okumura speaking." The deep, yet light, undertone of Mephisto's voice sounded into his ear.
"Ah..Okumura-san I thought you'd never pick up. You'll have a new student tomorrow named Sikora Kori. You might need to watch out for him, he isn't quite human you see..." Yukio told him that it was alright and hung up. Not even 30 minutes later, he too was sound asleep.
A dark figure walked into the twins' dorm and headed over to Rin's bed. The figure placed a golden pill on Kuro's tongue. Once Kuro had swallowed it, the figure left.
"Good night Kuro-chan," a girlish voice whispered into the darkness, "and don't remember the person that harmed you please. It would leave us with some unpleasant problems to take care of."
Back in Gehenna
Moeru was sitting at a small table, eating a slice of cake, when Kage appeared. "Mistress, I brought you the items you asked for." Moeru quickly left her cake and jumped on Kage, hugging him like she might hug a teddy bear.
"Good job Kage-chan!" She took the items from him and went to work. She put the ingredients into a mini cauldron and lit a fire under it from her own hand. Once it was bubbling nicely, she pulled out two dolls. On each doll she put respective clothing pieces and hairs. She began chanting over the dolls and blue smoke swirled from the cauldron. The smoke surrounded the dolls in a small vortex. When the smoke cleared, both dolls were softly glowing. Moeru carefully placed both dolls next to each other so their tiny hands were touching. With a dropper, she carefully put a few drops of potion on each doll. The glow subsided, leaving them looking totally ordinary. Just as she had finished putting everything away, Kori appeared.
"Welcome back Onii-san, how was it in Assiah?" Her brother said nothing, but handed her what seemed to be a girl's school uniform.
"Hmm? Whats this for Nii-san," Moeru asked, looking at the uniform.
"It's a uniform for the True Cross Academy, you'll be in the school where Okumura Rin goes to school during the day, and I will be going to Cram School where Okumura Rin goes to learn how to become an Exorcist." Moeru's brother's eyes were glowing white like the hottest ember from a fire, but Moeru knew that, if she could feel her brothers eyes, they wouldn't be hot, but freezing cold.
"Oh, so I'm going to the normal human school, and you the Exorcist school?" Moeru asked as she looked at the uniform against her skin. The color would make her look darker and her brother whiter.
"Yes, it would be weird having two new students at the same time in the cram school, I'm sorry Imouto." He hugged his sister close, inhaling the smell of crisp autumn leaves that seemed to be stuck to Moeru no matter what she tried to cover it with. "If I see Kage again, Imouto, or whatever you've made while I've was gone, your not ever gonna' get a hug from me again." He stood up, "Now, I must go, Cram School begins in a few hours in Assiah," Kori kissed her top of her head and left. Moeru touched where her brother kissed her, it was cold with little picks of ice that melted away faster then she wanted them to.
Nii-san may not be too happy about what I've done now, but I know it'll make his job a whole lot easier. Though, I don't know how Nii-san expects us both to fit into a high school so well when we both look like grade-schoolers.
