Chapter 21

Rin ended up falling asleep on the roof at one point, only to be woken by the stabbing pain from his wound and the sun rising into the sky. He sat there pondering over what he should do next, he wanted to just go to class early and pretend to sleep but he thought of how Yukiko would be worried not to see him. Sighing, he headed towards the room where she was sleeping. He carefully opened the door, not wanting to wake the sleeping girl and peeked in to check up on her. To his relief, Yukiko slept peacefully in her bed with Kuro beside her. Reassured with Kuro next to her, Rin quickly made breakfast and ate his portion while wrapping Yukiko's and setting it on the table with a note. The note read:

I'm fine, don't worry. I went to school early so I'll be back after. -Rin.

Rin hurried into the cram classroom seeing that no one was there yet, breathing a sigh of relief he sat in his seat in the back. He put his head down, making it evident that he didn't want to be bothered. Time passed slowly as students started coming on slowly, he felt their stares and uneasiness but he didn't bother to raise his head. Class ended up starting as usual and he kept his routine of sleeping during lecture, but today he had a headache. His wound on his side was throbbing and bothering him, and the addition of the headache annoyed him even more. Immediately as class ended, Rin hurried out of the classroom, wanting to avoid the exwires for today. He hurried out of the classroom wanting to get out of the classroom as soon as possible, but the exwires were determined to get some answers.

"Rin! Wait up!"

Rin ignored them and kept walking, feeling more annoyed at the noise.

"Hey! You stupid monkey! Stop right there!"

"Rin! Wait up dude!"

He was getting more and more annoyed, so he stopped and looked back with the look of death on his face.

"Shut up! Go away, okay. I don't feel like talking to any of you today, so leave me alone!"

Rather than backing down as always, they were still persistent in trying to talk to him.

"Wow there Mr. Sensitive. We're just trying to talk and this all you have to say?"

"I told you to leave me alone okay?"

Rin's headache worsened and he didn't have the energy to up up with them today, and all he wanted was some kind of relief from just everything around him, he just wanted to enjoy some time away from the life he was forced to take. He didn't ask to be the Son of Satan, he didn't ask for any of this! All he wanted was a nice life with his brother, the old man, and the priests at the monastery. Rin just felt tired of putting up a strong face and acting as if everything was okay. Rin looked up at his former friends, seeing their faces as Bon was ring up a storm.

"It's kinda like the old days."

"What?"

Rin snapped out of his trance, not realizing that he said that outloud.

"Nothing, so what is it that you want to say?"

"We just wanted to say sorry again, and I know this isn't enough for everything but we wanted to say it again."

Rin sighed, "You know that doesn't do anything for you right?"

"Yeah, but we wanted to repent for what we did to you so we decided to work to earn your trust back."

"Yeah? Well good luck with that."

Rin left them as he walked towards the dorms to finally get some peace and quiet, Rin felet a little bit bad. He wanted to forgive them and everything could go back to normal again, but it pained him to see those he had called "friends" and it reminded him of all those times he was alone suffering. Rin pushed all of his thoughts to the back of his mind and went to check up on Yukiko, remembering the note he had left her in the morning.
