I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING AND ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE AUTHORS AND MAKERS OF THIS ANIME/MANGA! Thanks for those writing reviews, and hope you guys enjoy this chapter too ^-^ so enjoy! Also sorry for not updating for a long time. I've ben kind of at a writer's block on how to keep this story going with Rin being a stoic demon and all. Soooo, here's the long awaited chapter! Also I really don't know how Shura talks so I just wrote it in regular speech. lol I mean at least I tried, but it was weird. :P

Chapter 7

Rin got to the usual training grounds where he and Shura used to train, and as he entered he saw the familiar red headed teacher. Of course she had the same inappropriate selection of clothes and drinking beer. Shura noticed the boy and also saw the changes in his appearance which was more demon-like, and sent shivers down her spine. She decided to play dumb and act normally.

"I thought you wanted to spar with me Shura."

"Oh, hey you're here. Where have you been? What happened to your left eye?"

"Just around. I just wanted to spend time outside of the academy. It's really nothing you need to know."

Shura threw the beer can that she just finished and quickly drew her sword, then she attacked. Rin knew that the teacher would do something sneaky and luckily the training he went through to control his flames paid off, he dodged the attacks with ease. Shura smiled as she saw the young demon unscathed, dodging the attack she threw at him.

"So, you've improved a lot since you were last sparring with me."

" Of course, I mean I did train outside when I was gone. Besides, that attack was nothing."

"Oh, you really think so?"

"Yeah, I haven't even used my flames Shura."

Shura was kind of confused at the boy's confidence and change in attitude. Normally, he would burst out and yell at her for using such a sneaky attack and loose his cool, drawing his sword which kind of worried her.

"You haven't seen anything yet of my power either."

Shura fired some of her other attacks, and Rin dodged them as if they were no threat and he didn't draw his sword.

"Come on, is that all you can do Shura?"

Annoyed, she released the second form of her sword and fired even stronger attacks at him. Rin knew that he would have to draw his sword, and he unsheathed his sword. Flames covered his whole body, and his eyes more crimson and demon-like, with flames covering his left eye. They clashed a few times and Rin barely used his flames, and Shura noticed how he wasn't using his full strength.

"Hey, are you toying with me? Use your flames! I want to see how much you improved."

Rin smirked and raised the level of his flames to half of its full power. He launched an attack where blue dragon flames were attacking Shura as she counterattacked with her snakes. As he saw and opening when she attacked, he used the opportunity to send a rush of blue flames towards her. The attack launched her to hit the wall and cracking upon impact. Shura coughed and her blood was spilled on the wall, dripping down the wall. She saw Rin approaching slowly ready for another attack, and she also saw the coldness in his eyes like a demon, there was no familiar playful gleam in his eyes.

"You wanted to see my full power right? That was only half of what my flames are capable of."

"W-Who are y-you? W-Where's Rin?"

"What are you talking about? I am Okumura Rin."

"You're not Rin. He's not the type to needlessly shed blood."

"Well, the Rin that everyone at this school knew, the goofy, carefree guy died. He died because all you humans couldn't see how he was suffering. He was consumed by all the sadness and anger. You should be glad, he became what I am now. You guys saw him as this right? A demon who would attack and kill someone at any given moment."

Shura came to a realization, like the others and cried. Tears slid down her face as she looked back into the past. She had also seen him as a Son of Satan, only a demon. They all had only seen the demon side of him, when he was also human too. He was suffering from all the shit that was thrown at him, all the criticism and hate. He was always the one to jump in and save everyone, risking his life, and when they all saw him for what he was they just abandoned him. She knew that he was a demon already even before the incident with Amiamon, but she didn't know how much he was suffering in the inside.

"Now, you realize huh? Pity isn't going to get you anywhere. It's also not going to save you."

Rin stepped back and launched a huge attack of flames, releasing his full power. He intentionally launched it right next to Shura to show her what his full power was capable of. It completely demolished the wall it hit and created a huge hole in the wall, and a giant crater in the ground sending tremors throughout the building. Rin simply walked away from the destruction and was met by exorcists who were running towards the cause of the tremors.

"You should call for a doctor. Shura's down there."

He simply walked away to his dorm leaving the exorcists to tend to Shura's wounds. When he reached his dorm, he sighed as he closed the door and fell onto the bed in exhaustion. Back at the academy, the exorcists got Shura to the closest infirmary to get her wounds treated. The exwires who were still in the classroom conversing about Rin, heard the exorcists talking in the hallway.

"That guy, he's really acting like a demon now. I mean, to do that to Kirigakure-sensei. Her wounds were pretty bad, but I mean he is a demon. We all knew he was going to attack someone or even kill someone sooner or later right?"

The exwires in the classroom were all shocked at the news and rushed out of the classroom to ask the exorcists questions.

"Excuse me! Rin did what!?"

"Huh? Oh, he attacked Kirigakure-sensei and she's badly injured. She's in the infirmary right now. He just left her and the training room was completely destroyed. He could've killed her I mean that level of damage to the room, it's a wonder how she survived with only those wounds."

They hurried to the training grounds and their eyes widened in shock at the destruction of the room. They only had more questions as to what happened and why Rin would do such a thing to Kirigakure-sensei. To answer their questions, they hurried to the infirmary room where Kirigakure-sensei was. The doctor had just finished tending to her wounds and she was resting on the bed. They all hurried into the room, to see her crying.

"Kirigakure-sensei? What's wrong? Does it hurt anywhere?"

"I'm so stupid."

"Hai?" ( I didn't know a word to put in English... lol)

"I didn't see how much he was suffering. I couldn't save him from being that. And I'm the one who knew what he was before all you guys. I just assumed that since he was smiling and acting like his normal self, that there was nothing wrong with him. I didn't see how he was dying an suffering in the inside."

Their eyes widened in shock as the teacher was crying in sadness of what happened to Rin.

"We didn't know either. We were the ones who caused it, we tortured him and shunned him. And we were supposed to be the ones always there for him. We were scared like everyone, all because we found out that he was a demon. We didn't consider that he was human like us too, we only saw the demon side."

Well, this is pretty much the end for this chapter. Look forward to the next chapter, cuz there's something interesting happening. Will Rin forever be a stoic demon and get executed by the Grigori or will he go back to the same happy and goofy self again? Leave a review on what you guys think of this chapter! ^_^ Thanks for reading!
