Happy Saturday, I'm sorry it's late. As TheEyeOfTheFlame did the last chapter it's my turn. Hope you enjoy!

- ForIHaveTakenOverTheWorld.

The alarm did nothing to wake the tired minds of Rin and Yukio.

The morning events had caused them to sleep through the alarm and right throughout the day.

"Kuro," Rin mumbled as he swatted away his familiar. The cat sìdhe continued to walk in circles, tail tickling Rin's nose until he found a comfortable position and laid down next to Rin.

Rin blearily blinked open his eyes as he propped himself up on one elbow. Once everything had come into focus Rin glanced at his alarm clock uninterested. He pushed his sheets back which also interrupted Kuro's sleep and swung his legs around so he sat on the edge of his bed. As Rin stared tiredly at the wall his mind began to clear and it began to dawn on him...

"Yukio!" He shouted as jumped up from his bed. Yukio sat up straight in bed with his hair sticking up on one side.

"Wha-" He slurred.

"We've been sleeping the whole day!" Rin exclaimed. This seemed to make Yukio sober up as he also jumped out of bed and started hurriedly pulling on his clothes.

"Cram school has already started!" Yukio panicked. Rin began putting his clothes on as well but as he was putting on his shirt he stopped.

"Why aren't you getting ready?" Yukio asked exasperatedly.

"Because I'm not going." Rin sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"They know Yukio. They know what I am. They don't want to see me again."

What happened flashed before Rin's eyes.

"Stop!" Rin roared as he let Kirikara's bag drop to the floor as he held the sheathed sword in his other hand. He thought about all friends as their kind words echoed in his head.

'After everything we've been through', he thought. 'You've all been so good to me.'

His face hardened as he heard footsteps to his right.

"Rin!" He heard his brother shout."It's a trap don't fall for it!"

"Yukio." He murmured. "I'm sorry." He heard a small gasp emanate from his Nii-San. "I guess I don't have it in me to keep lying to everyone."

Rin brought the sword up to his chest and he pulled Kurikara out of its sheath around him in an arc. As the sword was released from the sheath blue flames appeared and surrounded Rin like another layer of skin. His ears grew sharper and a long tail topped with another blue flame began to waver behind him. Further adding to the demonic image he was already modelling.

Amaimon looked on him delighted as he dropped Suguro and Shiemi. Fortunately, Shiemi was caught by Konekomaru but Suguro fell on his knees gasping for breath. Amaimon let out a giggle which caused everyone, excluding the unaware Shiemi, to look up in confusion, only to look at their newly transformed friend with horror.

"Well, you want me here I am!" Rin bellowed. The King of Earth cried with joy and started running at Rin. They both seemed to jump high up from the ground and start fighting in mid air.

"Holy crap," Renzo muttered as he approached Suguro and Konekomaru.

"I-is Okumura, what I think he is?" Konekomaru asked with fear in his voice.

"A demon."

The word demon ran around inside of his head.

"They hate me. I'm everything they're against."

"Rin you don't know that."

"Yes, I do. I'm everything that they're against!"Rin protested.

"Have you spoke to them?" Yukio's voice softened

"No. What's the point anyway." Rin muttered as he sat heavily on his bed. Yukio sighed deeply before sitting beside him on the bed.

"Maybe they will understand. Maybe they will see that you had no choice over this matter and that you don't want to be like the average demon."

"They won't believe that," Rin answered.

"I want you to go see them."

Rin looked up in surprise.

"No."

"They will give you a chance to explain everything. They're your friends."

Rin cupped his hands in his lap before answering, "I'm not going to see them."

Yukio pushed off the bed and stood up. "Well that's your decision to make, but I think they deserve an explanation." He unlocked the door and left. Rin stared at the door for a few seconds before rushing out after him.

"Wait!" He called down the hall. Yukio turned around with his brows raised.

"You changed your mind then?"

Rin caught up with him. "Even if they don't accept me, I want to say goodbye."

Yukio nodded and carried on walking with his little brother.

"Are you sure this is wise?" Rin questioned running a shaky hand through his dark hair.

"As I said before, even if this isn't wise, they deserve an explanation," Yukio answered, his hand hovering over the handle of the door which separated them from Rin's classmates. Yukio gave Rin a look that gave him a chance to back out.

"Go ahead."

Yukio pushed down the handle and opened the door to see everyone staring at them.

"Afternoon," Yukio announced after a length of silence. The occupants of the room seemed to stiffen as Yukio moved forward and Rin came into view.*(AN- This is where Flame takes over)

Rin walked into the room before releasing a sigh, and let out a small "Hello" before walking to the back of the room to sit down.

Silence spread throughout the room as they watched him take his seat with Kurikara still slung over his shoulder.

Suguro stood up and stared at the older Okumura " Hey Okumura! Seriously just hello? Is that all you want to say?Do you have an explanation or what !" he yelled out with annoyance.

Konekomaru piped up and argued," Bon stop it you don't want to get him angry!" Rin looked at him a little hurt before he carried on talking.

" So please just sit down so we can start the lesson," Konekomaru said quietly while trying really hard with his small frail arm, ( considering the other one was broken) to get him to sit down again.

It was understandable for him to want Bon to sit down and avoid fighting Okumura. After what they saw it was best that he didn`t get involved in any sort of argument, even if it was just some mild banter.

" No, we need answers right now! All of us do. Are you the son of Satan or not? " It was too late Suguro had started testing him and was more than happy to go through with it.

Rin stood up from his seat and dropped Kurikara on the ground. Everyone glared and him in confusion why did he let go of his sword? Rin looked up towards the ceiling and closed his eyes.

"I know what you all think of me... and I don't know if I will be able to change that, but just know I didn't ask for this! I promise you I am nothing like Satan, and I never will be! " He tilted his head downwards and turned towards everyone and stretched his arms outwards. " This is who I am so please just trust me when I say I'm not anything like Satan!"

Yukio looked at his brother he knew he was trying but was it really enough to get people off his back? Maybe it wasn't right for Rin to go back to cram school so soon... Looking at everyone around the room he could tell they obviously couldn't cope with it which caused frustration to boil up inside him, but he didn't let it get the best of him, no he had to stay strong.

For Nii-san.

Suguro turned away and spoke softly. "You don't get it, do you? Your flames kill people! My grandfather, Konekomaru's parents and Shima's eldest brother! They all died because of Satan, so until you get your flames under control, we're not friends anymore. None of us is."

Rin stood there stunned they had all suffered because of Satan just like he did. Images began to snap him out of his reverie in a blur.

Satan had overcome Shuro Fujimoto's body, making it bleed profusely from the eyes and wrist.

"Happy birthday my beloved son! " He jeered, before bursting out with unnatural laughter with his blue flames still overpowering the old man.

Rin was trembling he was going to be a demon and the old man! What was going to happen to him?

Suddenly Shuro snapped out of it and gasped, "No it's not true."

Then proceeding to reach for his necklace stabbing it with all his might into his heart.

Rin's eyes widened in horror his old man! Why did he stab himself isn't there another way?

The old man then croaked out the words " He is my son ... and I'm taking him back!" He stood for a moment but then collapsed and fell into the Gehenna gate, and Rin felt his heart sink lower than it already had...

Rin snapped back into reality only to notice his brother staring at him. Then he remembered the argument he had with him about dads death, and he swivelled around in frustration and punched the wall as a lone tear slid down his cheek.

Everyone in the room was now trembling and if they weren't scared of him before they definitely were now. No average teenager could crack a concrete wall with a single punch and come away unscathed.

Finally, accepting this little defeat, Rin bent down and picked up Kurikara and headed towards the door. Yukio tried to intercept his brother before he reached it but stopped when he noticed him wiping at what he thought were tears from under his bangs. So he froze and let him walk right on out into the hallway.

"I'll give you the homework later okay? "

There was no response just a very uncomfortable silence, He continued walking and didn't look back.

Renzo looked at Konekomaru and Suguro in confusion before saying "Was it just me or was he crying just now? "

Shiemi felt guilty as she looked at the boys who were now whispering together about what just happened. So she started turning to the back of her notebook and began to write down as many ideas as she could muster that could help her make Rin smile.

Thank you for reading and sorry it's late!
