Everyone at cram school noticed Rin's dark aura. He hasn't slept for days, not after that horrifying experience. He tried to catch up on sleep in class (thinking that maybe the dream wouldn't attack him where the were plenty of witnesses) but his teachers scolded him for sleeping in class. So he hasn't had any sleep since then.

"Rin are you feeling alright?," Shiemi asked worriedly, with a light pink blush spreading across her face every time she spoke to him and Yukio.

"Ahh yeah just a little tired," Rin replied. Just a little, more like a lot he had bags under his eyes.

"Then you should stop going to those late night clubs you go to and sleep instead~!," Shima said, wrapping an arm around Rin's shoulders, Shiemi's blush turned a shade darker and Rin in response punched Shima straight in the gut causing him to fall over in pain. Bon also wanted to know what was wrong with the demon so he walked over towards them, Konekomaru followed behind.

"Oi Okumura. Are you sure you feel ok? Why are you so tired?"

"Nothing I'm fine. There nothing wrong with me."

"Then why do you have such ugly bags under your eye, huh?," Izumo interrupted.

'Why is everyone trying to gang up on me,' Rin thought. "I told you that there's noth-!"

"Why is everyone up, the lesson isn't over. Take your seats!"

"Hai, Okumura sensei!," everyone replied.

'Thank you,' Rin said using his twin telepathy.

'Your welcome Nii-san, but are you sure your ok?'

"AAAAHHH NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ME!," Rin shouted standing up shooting his hands up annoyed about all the questions.

Everyone turned their eyes to look at the sudden outburst with a puzzled look.

"Baka," said Takara's puppet breaking the silence and returning the peace.

Rin slumped back down putting his forehead on the table.

"Umm Rin I have some herbs that can help you sleep. If you want I can bring some over to your dorm, you don't have to say 'yes' if don't want to. Oh and it for free a gift, um, from me to you," Shiemi had a dark blush spread across her cheeks as she spoke to Rin.

Rin turned his head to face Shiemi with a huge grin, "Yeah I would like that. Thank you Shiemi!"

"Hm!"

"You know Shiemi you in my bed would help me slee-uuffff," Bon chopped Shima in his head making him fall unconscious. Bon dragged Shima out of class and Konekomaru followed behind sighing. Class was over for today. Shiemi waved good-bye to Rin and Yukio telling them she'll be over around 7.

Rin was so excited because Shiemi was coming over to see him. "Come on Yukio." Rin waited for his brother to finish gathering his stuff to head to the dorm.


Knock

"I got it!," Rin shouted stepping out of the kitchen.

"Oh hi Rin. I brought the herbs. My mother said these are great fo helping people sleep and they don't harm demons so you'll be safe."

"Thank you. Come inside. Would you like some dinner, I just finished making it."

"Oh Thank you but I already ate. And I have to go bach home to help my mother with some things," Shiemi blushed.

"Oh," Rin said a little disappointed.

"Don't worry I'll stop by later to see how you are."

"Ok!," Rin Beamed. "I'll tell Yukio to see you off. Thank you again Shiemi!"


"Hey Yukio do you want some tea?," asked Rin shouting from the kitchen to his brother sitting in the dinning room reading a book.

"If it's the sleeping herbs Shiemi gave then no." Yukio said bluntly.

"Aww why?"

"Well because they'll make you go to sleep and I still have things to do. You just drink it Nii-san maybe it help you with mood swings."

Rin pouted,"Fine!"

Half an hour later, it finally kicked in and Rin couldn't contain his yawns anymore. "Nii-san you should go to sleep now I'll excuse you from your studies today." Good thing tomorrow was saturday and they only had half of school and it started later than usual, so he could sleep in a little more.

He couldn't keep his eyes open any longer and let sleep take over.


The next morning Rin woke up a little earlier than his brother (by himself). He felt so refreshed and relieved. And the thing that made him jump for joy was he didn't have that dream. Oh did he feel so eager. Maybe they finally stopped. "Yes!," Rin shouted waking Yukio up.

"Ugh, Nii-san I'm guessing you had a good-night sleep."

"I did!" Rin said running up to Yukio shaking his hand rapidly.

He felt fantastic, and he got ready for school faster than he usually does. He went downstairs to prepare breakfast with Ukobach and lunch. He could wait to thank Shiemi for her help. Finally he could sleep in peace, no more nightmares. But what he couldn't get out of his head was that why did he have such a weird dream repeatedly. But who cares it's over, gone, never to bother him again.

Rin went up stairs to get his bag and weapon. But he could find his weapon. He was super positive that he left it at the end of the edge of his bed, he always leaves it there to keep it close when he sleeps and such. But it wasn't there. He searched all around. Under his bed, over his bed, on his bed, all around Yukio's too, he search the whole room. And made a mess in the process.

"Uh, Yukio have you seen Kurikara!?"

"No, but it should be where you left it, Nii-san."

"It's not here that's why I'm asking."

"Well sorry. But I haven't seen it or touched it. You've must have miss placed or thought you put it there but didn't and placed some where that remind you of it, or I don't know. I mean you always loss things."

"I don't always loss things and I REALLY did place Kurikara at the edge of the end of my bed like I always do! It has to be here."

Rin left the room to check around the dorm. He went into the restroom, then stepped into the kitchen, in the dinning room, the hallways, the restroom (again), the kitchen, dinning room, halls, his room. So basically he checked the whole dorm all over like 20 times and he just couldn't find Kurikara. He was starting to get annoyed, worried, and sad that he let his weapon get taken away from him again. But who could have taken it?

Yukio saw his older brother's facial expression and sighed. "Alright Nii-san I'll help you look for you lost belonging." He led the way upstairs to their room to investigate the scene. Honestly Rin was such a handful but it was something he'll have to deal with if he wanted to protect him.

As he opened the door the first thing he saw was Rin's weapon covered in its red sleeve. 'Wait it was there the whole time, but Rin was looking for it everywhere,' Yukio thought. "See Nii-san there it is."

"HUH!," Rin response made Yukio jump. Yukio himself didn't understand. But there it was where Rin had said it was. Yukio looked up to see his older brother, he looked like a little child who lost their mother at the store and looks all around for her till he finds her, and is crying and smiling that he found her no longer to be alone and scared. He chuckled at his childish brother, 'How can he be Satan's son.' But stop as soon as he started, they were late for school. "Nii-san were late for school because of this. Hurry before we get into anymore trouble."

"Hai! Sorry Yukio."

"Its alright." And with that the ran out the dorm.


Rin couldn't get it out of his head all day. What happened this morning? School was over and he let out a huge sigh. It was finally the weekend, 'What should I do today, read some of Yukio's mangas, cook, hangout with the guys, or sleep. Getting some sleep so good right about now,' Rin thought as he did a big yawn. Yukio walked beside him as they walked back to the dorm, he's probably gonna do some work, boring!

Rin ran up to the room to change, he kept glance back to make sure if Kurikara was still there, he jumped in bed ready to take a nap before dinner. He thanked Shiemi when Yukio went to pick up some medicines. He was so happy that he could finally sleep in peace, unaware of what will happen next.

Meanwhile downstairs, Yukio grabbed some snacks from the kitchen to continue his work he had to finish.


Rin opened his eyes only to look up into complete darkness. He sat up and looked around. 'No! Not again," Rin stood up knowing where he was, it was the dream again. He thought that was over, guess he was wrong. He felt something behind him, so he turned around.

There stood the silhouette right in front of him. It stood three feet away from him. He could see more detail on it. It had long hair, very slim, the same height as he was but it was still just a dark figure. Her (he thinks it's a girl because of the feminine voice) head was down, which freaked him out. Kinda like in a scary movie he thought, she started to raise her head, which made Rin's tail shoot up and knees start to shake. 'What if when she shows him her face and its all ugly, bloody, and scary,' he thought which scared him even more. He started to breathe harder but couldn't because he felt some thing heavy on his chest. And when he couldn't finally breathe, he fell on one knee and the dark figure kneeled next to him.

He woke up and gasped for air, till he lost it again when he saw someone one top of him. He scream. He scramble back hitting his head with the back of the wall.

Yukio heard his brother and knew to well that he was in trouble, he grabbed his gun and headed upstairs with caution.

Rin was waving and flailing his arms in front of him as if the body language said 'Please dont hurt me,' he finally calmed down a bit to ask a question.

"W-w-who are? Um Wh-what are you do-doing in my r-room?," he asked trying his best not to look scared because that wasn't cool especially in front of a girl.

The person who was in front of him was indeed a girl and a pretty one too. She was wearing the school uniform from the True Cross Academy. She climbed of the bed and smiled. "My name Kōmaken Kurikara. I'm your demon sword," she beamed.

"What!?" At the same time Yukio busted the door opened and aimed the gun towards Rin's direction. To his surprise he saw a girl standing there. Hi first thought was why was there a girl here and why is Rin fooling around her instead of doing his homework. His second thought was why was there a girl here and then she turned around to look at him. She looked just like Rin only a female version, her hair was long to her waist, same height, she wore their school girls uniform, and then his eyes went wide. She a TAIL! Not only that her ears and teeth were the same as Rin's. Only Rin as smart as he was hasn't noticed yet. "Wait Yukio don't shoot!"

"Why not?," He asked eyeing her.

"Because...She's my demon sword in...um human form?"

"You mean that's Kurikara?"

"YEP! That's me!"

Both Rin and Yukio tilted their heads to the side as they looked at the new Kurikara form.
