Yukio stared at his brother at a loss of what to do, this just wasn't fair.
This wasn't meant to happen, they were supposed to walk away from this, but they weren't, and Rin still lay there unable to come back.
It hurt too much to think about, but what was he supposed to do now? He'd already rang Mephisto again and tried every herbal remedy he could muster, but it just wouldn't work anymore.
A murderer doesn't deserve a family.
Yukio's hands shook, and he clenched them in the fabric of his trousers; the thought of being alone was too hard to bare, and the usually well-kept teen fell to his knees and sobbed.
Soon the minutes turned into hours, and Yukio fell into a fitful sleep, cradling his brother's arm to his chest, and as he slept the world around them moved onwards. Its path never wavered, but Rin and Yukio's stayed still. For their little world was at a standstill, and the people outside of it were blissfully unaware.
Except for Mephisto of course, and perhaps maybe Amaimon but does he really count?
*~/0\~*
Walking gracefully across the grounds, white cape flowing gently in his stride, Mephisto made his way to the exwires classroom. They were in need of information, and information he had, and who was he to deny them what they so needed?
Well, they didn't ask per say, however, they were getting curious towards the lack of one four-eyed teacher. Mephisto pondered that if he was going to explain what they wanted, then they may as well know everything he decided to tell them. He was not going to tell them everything of course, but he would tell them about Rin's current predicament, and the need for their mole faced teacher to be alongside him.
Perhaps, even the exwires would choose to be of assistance?
Mephisto flexed his fingers in his gloves and paused outside the classroom door, a bubble of excitement was beginning to muster in his chest, but there was one more thing he needed to do first.
"What entrance should I make this time?"He mused.
*~/0\~*
Inside the classroom: Bon, Renzo and Konekomaru were crowded around a very flustered, red-faced, Shiemi who was trying fruitlessly to get them to understand that maybe Rin and Yukio were in trouble since they haven't turned up this past week.
"What if they're injured!" She squealed.
"That's not our problem, we're only exwires after all, and why should we care anyway?" Bon countered.
"But they're our friends!" Shiemi cried.
"So you're on their side now?" Bon spat back, causing her to stumble backwards.
"You were so scared of Rin before, you even avoided him! You were as scared as the rest of us!" He sighed."What changed?"
Izumo walked calmly up to the group and proceeded to slap Bon on the back of his head.
"You are such a jerk you know that." She mused.
"Like you can talk, your not much of the nice type yourself."He bit back while rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, at least I can see when someone's trying to do the right thing!" She concluded. "Shiemi has obviously grown up enough to realise, that this is just petty!"
Renzo came into place beside Izumo and looked at Bon. "They have a point you know," he muttered.
Shiemi was very close to tears at the thought of her friends standing up for her, but she never imagined it would be because they wouldn't stand up for another.
"Mr Okumara hasn't been here all week, and neither has Rin, does that not bother you? Shouldn't we at least call on them?"Izumo suggested.
"But, what about Rin? Yeah, Mr Okumara's fine but he's dangerous!" Konekomaru spluttered.
"Ya know what! I'm starting to agree with Shiemi and Izumo," Renzo declared. " We're exwires! We're meant to be a team, and yet all were doing is stabbing each other in the back! How's that going to look when we fight a demon together? Or when we show our superiors what we can and can't do!"
Everyone was silent, and all you could hear was the heavy breathing of the agitated, pink-haired teen.
Just as Bon was about to retort once more, a knock sounded at the door, so he walked over to it and opened it. Finding no one was in the hall he closed it again, only to jump back in shock after finding a very bemused Mephisto standing where the door just was.
"Now this is interesting." Mephisto mused.
"Sorry to be rude, but what are you doing here?" Bon questioned, after recovering from the initial shock.
"Uh- actually."A voice sounded from the back." I called him, I was wondering where Mr Okumara was so I called him to see if he knew anything." Konekomaru muttered while rubbing the back of his head.
"And here I am! Now ask your questions, and I shall answer! Well, the ones I feel obliged to anyway." Mephisto jeered, arms stretched wide in an enticing gesture.
"Bloody brilliant, he won't even answer all our questions." Bon breathed heavily, rubbing his fingers across his temple.
"Is that a problem?" Mephisto replied, turning to face Bon.
"I thought you didn't care, and why would you? I mean you are only an exwire after all, and you're obviously afraid of Rin. So I ask again, is there a problem?" Mephisto questioned, coming to sit on the teacher's chair, with one leg crossed politically over the other.
"Yes actually."
"Oh?"
"I may not act like it but Mr Okumara is a decent teacher and I respect him for that."
"And Rin?"
"He's dangerous, so until he can control himself, I'm not going near him anymore."
"What if he is trained, then what?"
"Then I'll think about it."
"Okay, how about if he were about to die?"
"Well that's obviously not gonna happen anytime soon is it?" Mephisto stayed silent.
"That's not going to happen, right?" He stuttered.
"Ah, but you see I thought you didn't care?"Mephisto responded, leaning on the desk, hands folded in a calculating gesture.
"Rin might die?" Shiemi spluttered from the back of the class, eyes welling up with tears. She hadn't had the chance to apologise yet!
"Ah, how the human mind amazes me. One minute you don't care, and as soon as you're told they may never see the light of day again you care about having a guilty conscience." Mephisto sneered. "Disgusting really."
"Hey! Just hold on a minute!"Renzo argued."Shiemi's on Rin side!"
"But she hasn't apologised or told him that now has she?"
Renzo looked back at Shiemi, with a sorry look, before turning back around.
"Moving on from this, what would you like to ask me?" Mephisto pondered.
The exwires and the flamboyant headmaster talked back and forth for over an hour about the current situation of the two Okumura's. Granted he only explained what he thought was necessary and kept the juicy bits to himself, but at least they got what they wanted.
