Hope you guys enjoyed the last one, I finally got to update now that it's winter break Yay! ^^ Well, here's the next chapter!

Chapter 20

Just as Bon let Rin go and he opened his mouth to yell at the blue haired demon, there was a sudden gust of wind that blew through the building of the abandoned dormitory. Rin snapped out of the trance he was in, realizing what had just happened.

"Shit. Damnit they're so persistent."

Rin rushed outside to see that the barrier he had put up was broken and there was a large swarm of demons of all different levels, surrounding the building ready to attack. The barrier had probably broken due to the imbalance of his emotions, causing his concentration and power on the barrier to break. He heard the others rushing behind him, to be met with the same scene that he saw.

"W-What is this? Why are there so many demons here?"

"My Prince, we've been ordered by Lord Satan to bring you back."

"Well, at least he's gotten a little better in trying to catch me."

Rin silently drew his newly made sword, readying to attack the swarm. As he quickly recited a mantra setting up a basic barrier to protect them just in case anything happened.

"Stand back."

Rin jumped towards the swarm, silently willing his flames to do his bidding. His flames slowly covered his whole body, a small flame igniting his left eye and his flames charging up inside of his new sword. It only took a few minutes as it became a bloodbath, raining down blood as they demons disappeared into ashes back into Gehenna. Rin wobbled a little as he felt tired and exhausted from using too much of his power in one day, steadying himself with his sword. He took in a deep breath and sheathed his sword, walking towards the group in front of the door. Unexpectedly, a demon appeared ready to attack the exwires, and Rin jumped in, barely making it. Without saying anything, he simply passed through them and walked into the abandoned dormitory, towards his room. The others were in some kind of trance that was soon replaced by worry for their demon friend. They wanted to go inside and see if Rin was okay, but Yukiko stopped them from entering.

"I know you guys are worried about Rin, but I think it would be for the best if you guys left for today."

"What? Why?

"Well, because of that conflict you had with him, and because he really didn't want to meet you guys in the first place. He seems a little bit stressed and it's probably not a good time to bother him."

"Oh, okay then... See you tomorrow."

"Bye!"

As the exwires left, Yukiko crept upstairs to check up on Rin. She walked into the room to find Rin taking a shower, sighing she plopped down onto the bed and started playing with Kuro oblivious of Rin's state. Rin's body was littered with small cuts, scrapes, and bruises; little did the others know was that he had a deep wound on his side. Rin stepped into the scalding hot water, gritting his teeth at the water going into his wound. His demon healing was making the effort to heal the wound but because of his lack of strength, it wasn't healing as fast as it would. With much difficulty, Rin was able to bandage the wound. Fully dressed, Rin stepped out to see Yukiko playing with Kuro.

"Rin! Are you okay?"

"Yeah... I'm just tired."

"Oh, okay."

Rin left to the roof to try and get some comfort, wanting to stop his endless thoughts that was plaguing his mind. Staring at the stars, he felt a little comfort in his tired state, but to no avail his thoughts still plagued his mind. He managed to get no sleep, only the dull pain of his wounds as he lay there on the roof, waiting for the sunrise.
