Rin woke up, able to get more sleep than he has in a few weeks. Groggily, he went downstairs to make breakfast and wash up. Today he made the decision to try and attend Aomori Academy.

"I don't have anything to do, so might as well and perform later in the day."

He quickly took a shower and changed his clothes, he prepared breakfast and ate while leaving some left for Kuro. Also making sure to leave a note, he quickly headed out to enroll to the academy. With some struggles to finding the academy, he managed to see the huge campus filled with beautiful autumn trees.

"Hello. I'm Okumura Rin and I would like to enroll to this school."

"Oh, hello. How old are you? Are your parents with you?"

"I'm fifteen, and my parents aren't here with me. They're dead."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Do you have a guardian or someone taking care of you?"

"No, I live alone."

"Well, here's the forms and inform me if you need help."

"Okay."

Rin finished filling out all the forms and providing all the information.

"Okay, you have everything. I'll print a schedule for you and you can start today if you want. We'll give you your uniform later."

"Okay, thank you."

"No problem."

"Oh, can you call for Saki Fujiwara. She's my friend at this school and I'll probably need someone to help me around campus."

"Sure."

The lady called for Saki through the microphone (you know that thing for announcements for the school...lol I'm not sure). Rin waited till he saw the familiar face that he met yesterday. Immediately, as she saw the familiar raven haired boy, her face lit up with joy.

"Rin!"

"Hey Saki, nice to see you."

"Nice to see you too! You decided to come to my school huh?"

"Y-Yeah, I was thinking about it yesterday and I just decided to enroll here."

"That's great! I'm so glad you came!"

As the two conversed, the office lady cleared her throat, getting their attention.

"Well, I called you here to help Rin during his first day and show him around."

"Oh, yeah right. Well, lets get going then."

She took a look at the room he was going to be in.

"Hey, we have the same classroom! Oh, the bell's going to ring, so I'll show you around the school during break."

"Okay, thanks."

"No problem, after all I did tell you to look for me if you enroll here."

She walked him to homeroom and as the bell rang, she quickly took her seat, as the teacher arrived.

"Well class, today we have a new student."

"My name's Okumura Rin. Nice to meet you."

The classroom was full of talking of students, whispering and he felt like he was being judged. Throughout the times he was alone with no one, all the students in the academy constantly avoiding him, he hated it the most when they would whisper behind his back. He would always hear them bad mouthing him, talking shit about him and being a demon and all. The memory rushed over him, and as he trembled with nervousness, the teacher was looking for an empty seat. It was a seat in the back, not too far away from Saki's seat. Quickly, no one looking at him, he popped his anti-depressants to calm his anxiety attacks. As the class passed by and for the first time in his high school life, he actually listened to the lecture and not sleeping. Rin, then was dreading break time as he thought of the first time he met his friends. In the inside, he was afraid that the same thing might repeat itself again and everyone would be avoiding him and he would be the outcast again, always alone.

Classes ended and it was break time, as soon as the bell rang students were surrounding him. They all started to ask him a bunch of questions like: "Where did you come from? What school did you attend before? Do you have a girlfriend?" and other random things. He felt better that people were approaching him, and he managed to make friends at this new school, but in the inside he was very insecure of the same thing happening to him all over again. As he managed to get away from the group of new people he met, he was able to get to Saki.

"Wow, popular much?"

"Nah, they're just interested cuz I'm new to this school."

"Well, I would say that you're a pretty nice person to approach."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you seem very approachable and friendly."

"Huh."

"Well, then. Let's start that tour!"

Saki showed him the whole school, all the clubs they have, all the classrooms, and all the other important things.

"So, any questions?"

"No. This school's pretty nice, better than what I had imagined it to be."

"I'm glad you like it. Aren't you glad you came to this school?"

"Yeah, kinda am."

"Well, break is almost over, so lets head back. Oh, and during lunch, you can come and sit with my friends on the roof."

"Thanks."

They got back to the classroom, and it was time for art class. Rin enjoyed this class because he would draw in his secret room from time to time, splattering colors on the canvas. Art helped him display his emotions onto paper, and other than playing the violin or cutting himself, it helped him release all the bottled up emotions. The art teacher also seemed to have taken a liking to him, and his way of drawing. As well as the music teacher, since he kew how to play instruments. As lunch finally came, he found Saki and they walked together to the roof of the school. She introduced him to her friends, and they all had a great time talking and eating their bentos.

At Academy

Shiemi noticed that Rin's seat's been empty for a while now, and no one seemed to really care. They were all glad that the demon was finaly gone and not terrorizing their lives.

"Hey Bon, have you seen Rin? He's been gone for a while now.?"

"Him? Why would I know? He's the Son of Satan, if he's gone then it's good for us. We don't have to constantly be in fear that he's going to kill one of us."

She then asked Izumo the same question.

"He's probably ditching or something. I'm actually surprised that he actually came to class all this time, even though he sleeps through all the lectures. Isn't it a good thing that he's gone, I mean everyone's relieved."

After class, she decided to ask Yukio about his twin.

"Yuki-chan, have you seen Rin? He hasn't been to school in a while."

"Nii-san? Oh, I haven't seen him either. Well, you shouldn't worry, he might just be on a mission or something."

The thought in the back of her mind told her, "Why are you worried about him? You should be glad that he's gone, I mean he's the Son of Satan! He could kill off any of the students if he wanted. It's for the best that he's gone."

Rin had for the first time in weeks, the best time at school. He was always alone and avoided at the academy, but here he was treated as who he is and not what he is.

"They're going to trash you and leave you after they find that you're the Son of Satan." A little voice in the back of his mind told him.

"Hey Saki..."

"Yeah?"

"If something made you change the way you look at me, or something just changes about me, would you still be my friend no matter what?"

"What?... Hmm... Yeah, I mean it's still you right? I mean, I think it's who you are rather than what you are."

Rin felt instant relief as he heard her answer, but little bits of doubts still stayed in the back of her mind. They headed to the same park where they met, so that Rin could perform.

"Well, I did promise you that I'll play the violin for you, so here it is."

Rin carefully removed the instrument from the casing and positioned it on his collarbone. He played a sweet sad melody, losing himself into the music. At some point, people started to gather around and donate money, and what seemed like minutes to him was hours in the real world. As he finished, everyone clapped for him, including Saki who stood there, with tears in her eyes.

"That was beautiful. The melody was very sad though."

"Thanks."

Months passed as he spent his days attending Aomori Academy, hanging out with Saki and her friends and playing with Kuro at home. Emotionally he improved, though he would always have his doubts and fear of one day losing his friends again, and being alone again. Though he was improving emotionally, he still took his medication and still cut himself. Rin also still from time to time, saved those in need of saving, being the hothead he always was when someone would be mistreated. He would always jump into action, punching them and damaging them severly. Recieving many thanks from those he helped, but also getting targetted from time to time the guys he beat up, or running into the same guys later on. He wished that this life would be forever stay like this and that the fact that he was a demon would be erased forever, but he wished for the impossible. One day, when they were on a field trip to a shrine, his life changed back into the life when he was at Cross Academy.
