Chapter 14
Just like any other day, Rin went to classes. Today though, he was a little late because he was talking to Yukiko last night and they barely got any sleep. He put Yukiko to bed and didn't get to eat, but oh, well. What can you do. By the time he entered the classroom, the others were in their seats. He just quietly entered and sat in his seat in the back. The day seemed to go by slowly for him today, and he didn't bother to listen to the lectures of the different teachers. He was lost in thought most of the time or staring out the window of the classroom, wanting the day to quickly end. Today was different however, in one of his classes there was a low-level demon brought in as a test subject so they can learn more about it. It was a little trickster really, and somehow it managed to exit it's cage and jump around in the classroom. To their luck, the teacher was out taking a call and they were left to themselves. The others were trying to somehow catch the little thing, throwing attacks at it, and trying to weaken it in some way. Yet the little trickster kept jumping around evading all of the attacks thrown. Rin saw this and grew annoyed.
"Why can't they catch this measly low leveled demon?"
He sat there bored and annoyed at the situation. At a point, the demon landed right in front of him and stared at him, confused. The much annoyed Rin glared at the little guy, full of malice and dark intent. Rin spoke in the tongues under his breath so only the little guy could hear him.
"Stay still. You're annoying the fuck out of me."
The little demon froze in fear and the others just stared at it, wondering what happened. Just then the teacher came back to see the exwires looking dumbfounded and Rin in the back looking bored, with the little trickster right in front of him frozen with fear and the room damaged and a mess.
"What happened here?"
No one spoke everyone was silent, giving no response to the confused teacher.
"The demon that you brought, got out of its cage and started jumping all over the place. The others tried catching it, but they couldn't. So I stepped in, and here we are."
"Judging from how it looks, you didn't kill it right?"
"Probably , just in shock maybe?"
"Well then lets continue class. Can you bring that demon up here?"
Rin just zoned out, and unconsciously responding to that question his flames covered the little guy. It lifted him across the room to the table in the front, and the flames dissappeared leaving the demon undamaged. The day went by and finally as classes ended, Rin got up and walked out to go to his dorms. In the hallway, he bumped into Saki and her new friend.
"Sorr-," she stopped as she saw the familiar blue hair and eyes.
He just ignored this and kept on walking, but something unexpected happened. Saki stopped him this time.
"Rin, we need to talk."
"Really? Well, I don't have anything to say to you."
"Just stop. I had time to think about what you said, and I don't think you actually meant it."
"..."
"You just did that so I won't have to end up like you right? Being avoided by everyone and all."
"I don't know what you think, but I meant every single word I said to you that day. You were convenient in that situation to take advantage of and make you my friend. I just did that to get attention okay? Show everyone there's a crazy lunatic like you who can be friends with the Son of Satan. Obviously nothing changed so I don't need your company or your friendship anymore."
"You know you don't mean that."
"Really Saki? Do you really think that? Do I have to show you the brink of death for you to understand?"
Saki didn't seem to give up. Rin sighed and just passed her with his demon-like speed, he didn't have time to deal with her right now nor was he in the mood to. When Rin got to the dorms, he saw Yukiko and Kuro drawing in the new sketchbook he bought her.
"Hey, I'm back."
"Rin!"
Yukiko had a big smile on her face as she saw him, which got him to think of the night before when she had relieved his burden just a little, by carrying some herself. Rin was thinking of how to repay her, so he decided to do what he always did. Play his violin for her as a thank you.
"Hey Yukiko. I have a surprise for you."
"What is it?"
"Come on, I'll show you."
They walked to the same place where they watched the sun set, and Rin stood there with his violin, back facing the moon. He played various melodies, and this time there was a twinge of happiness in all the sad melodies he played. For what felt like a long time had passed, Rin finished and Yukiko clapped.
"That was really beautiful. I liked it, it was sad but happy too."
"Thanks. I actually wanted to play this for you as a thank you. You're the only person who's accepted everything that I am."
"It's nothing. I just thought that everyone deserves to be happy."
Little did they know that Saki was in the area, looking for Rin to finish their conversation. As they were walking back, Saki overheard them as they passed by the park she was at.
"Isn't the night in the city really beautiful with all the lights?"
"Yeah, it really is."
Saki smiled hearing his voice and running after him, though she wondered who the other voice was. She saw Rin holding hands with a little girl, at the crosswalk a couple of feet ahead. She ran up to catch up and question him, but the lights changed and she lost them. Saki then reached the abandoned dormitory that Rin was at, and went through the building to his room. Little did she know that Rin knew Saki was going to come by his room, smelling her scent in front of the Dormitory and hid Yukiko in his secret room.
"Rin! Open this door right now!"
Rin opened the door and replied, "What do you want now? I thought our conversation was over."
"I still need to talk to you."
"Well I don't, so leave." Rin turned back into his room.
"Who was that little girl you were with?"
"Just a lost girl I was helping. What are you stalking me?"
"Oh..." she looked around his room and saw a sketchbook for kids. She knew he was lying but decided not to push any further.
"Why're you still here?"
"Well, I wanted to apologize for yelling at you and saying all those mean things to you. I acted without thinking the fact that you would never do that."
"You see? Everyone's like that. Angry before they see the big picture, just like what you did."
"Yeah, I'm sorry and I'm here to make up with you."
"You see, it isn't that easy. Just apologizing. I can't accept it."
"What?! Why?! I said I'm sorry for calling you a demon and all those other things. Why can't you just accept it and make up with me?"
"It's not that simple Saki. You don't see the big picture like the rest. Just like that moment, you guys only see the bastard Son of Satan. Not the Okumura Rin that is happy, goofy, and acts like an idiot. Can you honestly say to me right now that you don't have the tiniest of doubts in the back of your mind, the one that thinks of me being the Son of Satan with the blue flames and all is safe?"
"W-Well..."
"You can't so tell me Saki, do you still think that I can actually be anyone's 'friend'?"
Saki defeated, quietly walked out of the dorms in deep thought. Moments after she left, Rin went in to his secret room to see Yukiko looking around. It was filled with everything he had done, diaries, drawings, paintings, and pictures.
"This is a nice room. Did you do all of these?"
"Yeah, after all of that stuff happened. Just something to help me cope."
"It's really nice..."
"Yeah..."
There was a bit of silence between them till Yukiko finally spoke.
"Who was that just now? Isn't she one of your classmates?"
"Yeah, it was nothing important."
"Rin...," Yukiko gave him that tone of 'I know it wasn't nothing'.
*sigh* "Fine, you win. She came here to apologize for being mean."
"But you didn't forgive her?"
"Yeah, I didn't accept her apology."
"Why?"
"It's... not that simple."
"Of course it is! I mean she apologized because she's sorry."
"It's not as simple as that! I mean yeah, she apologized and I may have been happy with that if I was the old me, but right now I can't accept it. She still sees me as the Son of Satan, and she still doesn't trust me."
"Rin... it's okay to trust someone, even if you think they don't fully trust you. You can earn trust little by little, so that she won't doubt you."
"...," Rin thought about what Yukiko said carefully. "I guess you're right, it's probably me."
"Don't be scared, cuz I'll always be besides you the whole time and support you. Okay?!"
"Yeah.. thanks a lot Yukiko."
She simply smiled happily, and made him smile a soft, genuine smile. Rin felt better that Yukiko was with him, and he knew that she would always be besides him no matter what happened, so he decided to take her advice and try again.
Well, this is the end to this chapter. Probably one of the longest chapters I wrote, but it's mostly fluff. I was actually struggling with this chapter, cuz I didn't know how to word this and I was pretty unsure with posting it. Well hope you guys like it, and leave a review! 3 Thanks or reading!
