Chapter 24

"You don't know what I've been through, so don't act like you know everything about me because you really don't."

"Cursed demon! Get out of this holy temple at once!"

"Don't hurt Rin, he's a nice person! He didn't do anything wrong!"

"Yukiko, come on let's just go." Rin grabbed onto Yukiko's wrist gently pulling her.

"No! Why can't you guys see that he's just trying to help! He's not cursed! He's a human being like you and me! Why do you guys need to-"

"Yukiko!"

"Rin I don't know why you keep taking all the blame and all the hatred when you didn't do anything wrong!"

Rin simply smiled at her sheepishly and hugged her, calming the fuming girl.

"It's okay. Let's go."

"But..."

"I said it's okay. I'm fine."

"Wait, Rin."

Rin turned to see Ryuji's father handing him a crumpled piece of paper secretly, then Rin left with Yukiko. The temple was filled with silence and angry glares at the half demon and the girl as they walked through the crowd. Yukiko left at his side, leaving one ominous statement.

"I wonder sometimes, who the real demons in this world are."

"Okami-san! Bon's injured and... Izumo-chan, you look really pretty in a yukata!"

"Moriyama-san! Bon's injured so could you get us some ice?"

"Ah, right away."

"What happened?"

Izumo asks Bon as he sits down with an ice pack to his face grumpily, still trying to understand what Rin had said to him.

"The right eye was taken from the branch office."

"No way. You're joking aren't you?"

"And- Okumura's gone somewhere with that little girl."

"Eh?!"

"He left?!"

"He let out his flames and all the people at the branch office saw it."

"Th-Then what's going to happen to Okumura-kun?"

"I don't know. The people at the branch office and Kirigakure-sensei are deciding what to do."

"Ummm... That means Okumura-kun is in a quite a spot, no?"

"Rin..."

Rin and Yukiko stay at a nearby abandoned shrine and he read the letter that Suguro's father handed him, learning about the shrine and its secrets.

So here's the long awaited update! I got really lazy and I'm still unsure about what kind of ending I'm going to give this story, but thank you so much for all the love for this story!
