Chapter8
Rin on the other hand grabbed his violin immediately as he entered his dorm room and headed out to his usual spot in the forest. As he played the instrument, notes pierced the silence of the forest and he played for hours. Letting go for the first time in the whole day, letting the melody convey his sadness and regret. He wasn't cut out to be a stoic demon, but he felt that this was the only way to go on with his life. He didn't want to keep trying as he did in the past, pretending as if nothing changed and trying to get the others to believe in him again. He's been trying to do exactly that for the past year, and the only thing he got out of it was nothing but emotional damage. As he finished, he heard the familiar sound of someone clapping and Rin turned to see Saki. He was surprised to see her, remembering the incident of the night walk.
"Why are you here Saki."
Saki seemed to be surprised at the coldness of his voice and flinched.
"I came here to be an exorcist. After being attacked by a demon, I've been able to see them more often now."
"Well, good for you but are you sure you're safe with a demon like me? You never know if I'll kill you any minute now."
"I know that you're too nice to do that."
"Things have changed since then Saki. I'm not the same as back then when I met you."
"You know I don't believe that. You're the same since the first time I met you. I can hear it through the melody of your violin."
"Whatever, believe what you want."
Rin packed up and to his dorm room, leaving Saki there by herself. He never would've thought of seeing Saki again, after that incident at the night walk. Rin set his case down in his secret room and went up to the roof, stressed by his day. He lay there, staring up at all the stars, lost in his thoughts. Waking up in the middle of the night haunted by his nightmares, he got up and got ready. Showering and changing his clothes, he headed to the classroom earlier than usual. Rin sat in his seat staring at the empty room, reminding him of how alone he was.
"Since it's way before the time for people to start coming in, I guess it won't hurt to do it."
Rin took out the razor blade from his pocket and started to slide it across his wrists, counting the number of cuts as he watched blood drip down his arms as his demonic healing healed them, only leaving faint red lines on his wrists. Busy with cutting his wrists up, he didn't hear Saki coming into the classroom.
"Rin? What are you doing?"
Surprised, he quickly put the razor blade in his pocket and hid his wrists as blood still poured down his arms.
"Nothing really. It's nor really any of your business really."
"What do you mean? I'm not scared of you, I know that you're still the same Rin I first got to know."
As Saki stepped forward, she saw the blood dripping down his hands from his wrists which now healed. Shocked, she grabbed his arm to see the faint red lines with the addition of semi-dried blood.
"What did you do to yourself? You can die from this you know!"
Rin took his arm out of Saki's grasp and stepped back a step away from her.
"It's none of your business. I'm a demon don't forget that, this is nothing. I know what'll kill me and what won't, and that's not a lot of things you know."
"Rin, you're suffering. You need someone to help you."
"No, I don't need anyone. It's my problem that I need to deal with."
" You can't do this by yourself. Let me help you."
"I don't need anyone! I've always dealt with my problems myself I don't need anyone now."
"..."
"Maybe I'll just kill you right here and now."
Rin stepped forward and transformed his hand into a more demon-like one, with long sharp claws pointing it on Saki's neck. What shocked him was, instead of screaming or fear of dying, Saki just closed her eyes and smiled just standing there.
"Go ahead. I know you're too nice, too pure hearted to kill someone."
Shocked, Rin withdrew his claws and sat down with his head down. The door then opened and exwires started walking in and noticed the new face. Saki quickly headed towards the teacher's lounge to meet the teacher.
As the bell rang, Okumura-sensei walked in with a new student, the same face they saw in the room earlier. Everyone, this is our new transfer student, Saki Fujiwara.
"Nice to meet you."
"Okay, Saki you can take a seat anywhere."
Saki walked to the back of the room where Rin sat and to everyone's surprise sat right next to him. All attention was in the back of the room.
"Che. Do what you want. Don't blame me if you die or burst into flames."
"Umm... Fujiwara-san, I would recommend you to sit somewhere else."
"Sensei, you said that I can sit anywhere. Oh! I noticed you have the same last name as Rin, are you guys related in anyway?"
Everyone stared at the girl in shock, she had known Rin's name.
"He's my twin younger brother." Rin mumbled.
"You never told me you had a twin brother."
"I told you once, it's nothing worth mentioning really. Well, are we going to keep discussing about me or is class going to begin?"
"Geez, you're no fun anymore Rin."
"I'm tired of this, since we're not going to have class, I'm leaving."
"Rin!"
Ignoring her, he jumped down the open window.
"This is the third floor you know!"
Rin simply walked off to the dorms, tired of everything that happened.
"If I may ask, where did you meet Nii-san, Fujiwara-san."
"Well, were continuing this conversation huh? Well, he went to my school a few months back. Well, I technically met him when he saved me from a bunch of guys that were hitting on me."
"I see..."
"Oh! Now I remember now! Rin told me all about you guys. Suguro-kun, Shima-kun, Koneko-san, Kamiki-san, Shiemi-san, and Okumura-sensei. You guys were his friends when he came to this academy."
"I'm assuming that you don't know what that Okumura Rin really is."
"Are you talking about how he's a demon, the Son of Satan. I already know that."
Everyone stared at the girl in shock.
"You mean to tell us that you already know that he's the son of the Demon Lord Satan?"
"Yeah, me and my friends found out during a night walk we had, when a swarm of low-level demons attacked us. Though I got a spirit wound in the process and I can see demons now."
"Doesn't it, you know... bother you?"
"No, not really. I mean at first I was shocked and scared but after I thought about it, I realized that he's the same person no matter even if he's the Son of Satan or not."
Everyone in the room looked at the girl in shock, they all had the same thoughts. This girl had done what they should have done from the start, and accepted Rin for who he is and not what he is.
