So, here's the new chapter... the long awaited wait is over! enjoy ^^
Chapter 19
Back in the demon world, Rin was resting back onto the wall, closing his eyes as he waited with his arms crossed.
"Why is this taking so long? I promised Yukiko that I'll be home by dinner time."
Rin was impatient, he knew that making a good sword takes a while, but he couldn't wait any longer. As he stood up to tell the blacksmith demon that he needed to go, the small demon appeared out of the room with a sword.
"I'm done making the sword, here. I'm pretty sure you'll like it."
Rin grabbed onto the black and white handle of the sword, unsheathing the white sheath revealing the night black blade glinting. The sword was surprisingly light, moving swiftly and smoothly.
"So how much do I owe you?"
"Nothing."
"What?!"
"Nothing, really."
"I can pay you however much you want, so just tell me how much."
"Let's just settle for a favor in the future."
"Okay..."
Rin felt a little unsure, seeing the blacksmith go on about his work as if he was proposing anything to get rid of him.
"I'll remember my debt blacksmith."
And with that, Rin walked out of the shop, hurrying back to the dorms. He found a suitable spot to open the gate, but as he stepped out he was surrounded by a pack of demons waiting for him.
"Damn how did they find me?"
"Your father has ordered us to bring you back to Gehenna young prince. He's displeased that you didn't come and visit him while you were ther."
"He's not my father, my father is dead and Satan's the one who killed him. Unless you want to all get slashed down, I suggest you guys go back."
In a single moment the area was filled in a bloodbath of demon corpses and blood, and Rin looked to see that his clothes were covered with it.
"Damn, I guess I'll have to sneak in so Yukiko doesn't see me like this."
Little did he know that the exwires were already in the dorms with Yukiko, all waiting for him. As Rin saw the dorm building, he stopped a few feet away and started erecting a barrier just in case his "father" sent more demons after him. Just as he finished and turned around to sneak into the building, Kuro ran out withYukiko behind him.
"Yukiko! Rin's over there! He's back!"
Rin was at a standstill, standing there un sure of what to do. They both ran blindly towards him in happiness, and as his outward appearance was visible to them, they had a very worried look.
"Rin! What happened?! Are you hurt?"
"No, it's okay. Just ran into some trouble while I was out. I'm fine."
"...okay, if you say so. Well, you should change your clothes cuz everyone's already inside."
Rin mentally facepalmed himself, "I thought they were coming later for dinner."
"Yeah, but I got bored with you not here, so I called them over to come early. You know, we had a lot of fun talking and eating snacks."
"I'm glad you had fun," Rin said this with a gentle smile of relief.
"Come on, let's go and get you cleaned up."
"Yeah..."
As they were walking into the dormitory, they bumped into Shiemi, knocking her down.
"Sorry..."
Rin reached a hand out to help her get up, only to see Shiemi flinch. Rin felt a little flicker of pain, as he sighed and pulled her up.
"T-Thank y-you..."
Without waiting to hear the "thank you," he walked past her to go to his room.
"Rin!"
Rin stopped, but he didn't turn around, he was angry, sad, and hurt.
"What."
"She thanked you. Is that any way to treat a lady?!"
"It doesn't matter doesn't it? I helped her up right? I apologized, and I don't really need a thanks for it."
Rin turned around and just as he was going to finally be able to go to his room and wash up, he felt someone pull him back.
"Get back here and listen to her!"
Rin sighed, "Yukiko, I've had a really long day. I just want to go upstairs and clean up okay? Is that so much to ask for?"
During all of this commotion, the other exwires were snooping onto the conversation, poking their heads out of the doorway.
"What's all that about?"
"Dunno, looks like they had a fight about something."
"Hey, what's that on Okumura's clothes?"
They all leaned forward, trying to see what it was as Rin walked up the stairs to his room. As a result, they all fell forward into the hallway where Yukiko and Shiemi looked at them in confusion.
"What are you guys doing?"
"W-Well, we heard you guys yelling and stuff, so we decided to see what's up."
"You guys could've just walked in, instead of trying to sneak around."
"Yeah, well I'm pretty sure your guy up in his room doesn't like that the fact we're here anyways so yeah..."
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure he'll get over it."
"Not so sure about that." Bon mumbled under his breath.
"Well, lets all go into the dining room and wait for Rin. He won't take very long okay?"
"Yeah, sure..."
"I wonder what he'll be cooking today."
The other exwires were lost in thought as to what they saw Rin covered with when they saw him.
"It couldn't have been blood right?" Izumo was questioning inside of her head.
A few moments later, Rin walked into the dining room and instead of acknowledging them with a greeting or something, he simply walked into the kitchen and started cooking.
"What's wrong with that blue monkey?" Bon angrily thought to himself.
The table was overcome by silence and the only sound heard was the food being cooked in the kitchen. Yukiko looked around to see the exwires sitting down looking at each other in uneasiness and awkwardness. As if they were trying to tell each other telepathically, "So guys what do we do now?"
"So, can you guys tell me a bit more about how it's like being an exorcist?"
"Um,... yeah sure."
Soon, they were talking about being an exorcist, responsibilities, and other things as Yukiko tried to get the conversations rolling to lighten the mood. As soon as Rin was done, he plated the food and set them one by one on the table.
"Thanks Rin it looks delicious."
Rin patted Yukiko's head with a gentle smile, "Thanks."
Rin sat down and they all gave their thanks for the food.
"Itadakimasu!"
The table was once again taken by silence as they slowly ate the food on their plate.
"So, your brother said he couldn't come because of a mission."
"Yeah? Well, he has been busy lately."
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure he would've wanted to come it's really too bad. I think I would've had fun playing with everyone."
"Yeah..."
Everyone saw a sad smile that had formed on the blue demon's face for a second as it turned back into the emotionless face he normally had, and Rin felt Kuro rubbing his body onto Rin's leg in hopes to bring some comfort to his friend.
"Thanks Kuro," Rin telepathically told his little demon friend.
"So, Rin everyone had some questions they wanted to ask you. If you could..."
"Yeah, sure why not. But, I'll choose what to answer and what to not answer."
"Okay!"
"Ask away."
"Okay, well what was that with Dr. Eric at the hospital. What were you trying to keep him from telling us."
Rin contemplated on what to say, he stayed silent for a while until he answered, "Since you guys want to know so badly I'll tell you. Just a warning, this was a long time ago and I kinda got over it already. So, like you guys already know we know each other because I was treated by him a while back. What you guys don't know is the reason why he was treating me. Well, a while back I got so sick and tired of living that I attempted to try and kill myself by jumping off of a building."
The room was in complete silence, they were in shock that Rin would do such a thing and Shiemi was ready to cry as tears were threatening to fall.
"As you can see it didn't go so well, because Dr. Eric found me and treated my wounds. That's the day I lost my left eye, it was a short encounter, but I'm still indebted to him."
"We're sorry Rin."
"For what?"
"For ignoring you, and shunning you because we found out that you're the Son of Satan. We didn't want to drive you to killing yourself. We're really sorry."
"I didn't tell you to get your pity, or forgiveness."
"What?"
"Do you really think that an apology was what I was looking for? After all of this time, everything that you did to me? You all betrayed my friendship, and after all of the chances you could've apologized to me?! Now is the time you do it?"
"..."
"I mean I'm pretty sure you guys remember the time when I tried talking to you guys, acting like nothing was wrong. And what did you guys do? You guys all blocked me out and ignored me, after I saved your asses from Amiamon that's what I got. The hate and spite for something my supposed "father" that I've never met did."
"..."
"Tell me Ryuji, did you ever think about that when you yelled at me for everything that happened on the Blue Night? Did you ever think that maybe it wasn't my fault but Satan's and that you really can't blame me for that?"
"Yeah, well it was a horrible loss for our temple ya know. Konekomaru lost his parents and other temple members were killed in the process, so it was a great loss for us. Not that you would know."
"... Get out!"
"What?!"
"I said, GET OUT! I'm done, as I promised I spent a dinner with them so there. It's over now so get out."
"Hey we're not done yet."
Bon grabbed Rin by the collar, and he saw the hate, anguish, and sadness in his eyes, and he let go of him. A few moments later, all hell broke loose.
Well, here is the next chapter... They're one step closer to trying to get close to Rin at least right? I'm pretty sure you guys are wondering as to what kind of hell breaks loose right? Well, you'll have to wait and find out so thanks for enjoying and loving this story! Leave some reviews and Thank You ^^
