A/N: OH MY GOSH! :D I want to thank The Fifth Champion, Hartanna, and Japanese Duck for reading and commenting! THANK YOU SO MUUUCHHH! It means a lot! I'm also ecstatic that you like my OCs! Thank you! ^^ It seems like Rin's chapter is the favorite. Here comes another one!


Out of all the situations Rin Okumura was put into…

He was never once stark naked in front of a complete stranger… well…he was shirtless in front of his fellow classmates…once…but this was worse. However, the one Rin felt bad for was Aidyn, not himself. He didn't want the poor guy's first day of school to be like this…

Either way…it happened.

And…they would have to deal with it.

It all started that afternoon, when Rin was showing the new guy around school. Hallway after hallway, classroom after classroom; the teenager kept a large grin on his face, and with bursts of uncontrollable energy, nearly dragged Aidyn all over True Cross.

"See this! This is the cafeteria! Real big huh!"

"These are classrooms! They're big too! Hey! Maybe we'll have class together!"

"Don't worry about it! You'll make a lot of friends! The people here are great! Hahaha!"

Keep in mind that this was the same Rin Okumura who beat three punks senseless earlier.

Although he could not understand a word Rin said, Aidyn listened closely to the sound of the teenager's voice. The student was slightly more comfortable than he was before, convinced that his new acquaintance would not hurt him.

Rin rambled on and on, nervously, not really expecting a response. Perhaps he was trying too hard? He was happy to have made a new friend. He'd never say it to anyone, but the truth was Rin was kinda lonely lately. Everyone was freaked out that he was the son of Satan…

Including Sheimi…

…Not that he blamed her…or any of them.

Rin had no idea what would happen if this new guy found out.

But – he wouldn't –so –what was the problem?

The two spent an hour or so wondering the school and observing empty classrooms and fancy hallways with elevators. At this point, there was nothing much to write about, it was pretty much the same thing…Rin speaking nervously and Aidyn timidly nodding.

"And this is the Chem-stry…chem….uh-we do a lot of science stuff here-so that's cool! (Not that I understand any of the stuff!)"

He patted Aidyn's back, remembering to be gentle. Aidyn, for the first time, smiled at Rin. Yeah –it was a nervous smile. Yeah –he was still hunched and shaking –but…it was a start-right? It was a while…since Rin felt like he had done something right.

Once upon a time, there was a thug who'd get into fights everyday and couldn't hold down a job…

Now he was helping some guy out…..

It felt good.

Aidyn's small moment of comfort was short-lived. The adolescent heard shuffling outside the science lab. At this, he squeaked and stumbled backwards. Rin managed to catch him by the upper arm.

"Whoa hey! –Careful, it's just other students…"

Rin felt the boy's trembling beneath his grip. Why's he so scared of people? Rin was going to find out. He walked towards the door and peeked his head out. The young man's heart thumped hard in his chest, sweat trickled down his brow.

"H-hey! I-I know these guys! That's Suguro, Shima and Konekomaru!"

Should he go up to them? They were probably still afraid of him…but they wouldn't hold anything against Aidyn… right? Rin stumbled out of the classroom.

"H-hey! Hey guys! Er-how's it goin'?"

Konekomaru froze in his tracks, traumatized. Suguro stopped for a split second, shocked, then his expression hardened into rage. He stormed passed Rin, trying to the best of his ability to ignore him. The only one who responded was Shima.

" 'Sup!"

Konekomaru gasped and grabbed his friend's sleeve, he whispered something that sounded like "Don't talk to him…"

Rin's heart sunk, but he did not give up.

"I-uh-want you guys to meet someone…"

The two looked up and stared at Rin, even Suguro stopped and turned around. Rin jogged excitedly into the classroom. The next moment must've seemed very strange to the three guys; there was a collection of strange squeaks and shuffling.

"N….no!…..No….no…"

"Hey come-on, come on-there's nothing to be scared of…they're cool guys…come on-ak."

Rin managed to drag Aidyn out into the hallway. Like earlier, the adolescent clung onto him hopelessly.

"This is Aidyn…he's new here."

There was a long silence in the hall. Each of them stared. Their eyes were wide-locked on Aidyn. They looked at the guy the same way they would look at him.

What the hell is going on?

Suguro stormed away, the sound of his footsteps heavy…rage… Konekomaru squeezed his eyes shut and bolted passed Rin. Shima stood there, helpless… sweat covered his face. His mouth twitched open, the guy fumbled for words.

"I-heh-you see…I should-uh-uh-catch-up-with-the-uh-the-the-the-other guys!"

And with that…Shima ran off the other way…

WHAT THE HELL?

Rin's voice echoed through the hallway "WHOA, WHOA-HEY! What was that all about?"

But no one answered….the hall was empty…

Rin rubbed the back of his head and turned towards Aidyn.

"Uh…Heheh….eh…hey listen, it's not you it's me, I-"

Rin stopped speaking…he was surprised to see Aidyn calm…the guy's eyes were dull, staring ahead into nothing. Despite the grave expression, the shivering boy still clung onto Rin, his face half-covered by the teenager's jacket…

"Uh….are you….okay?..."

The Aidyn responded softly. "Oh…..kaay…"

Rin had no idea what the hell was going on. First, every punk on the street wanted to hurt this guy. Then, Suguro, Shima, and Konekonaru, three real cool guys, act all weird around him… What the hell did he do?

"Brother?"

Rin and Aidyn both screamed at the mysterious voice.

"!"

Rin felt Aidyn's grip tighten on his sleeve - no longer calm. They both whipped around to see the one and only Yukio Okumura, Rin's younger brother, in the flesh. Yes, the guy must've been pretty mysterious to appear out of nowhere like that. Rin believed that the source of all his mysteriousness and coolness came from his glasses…but…that was a different story…and completely unrelated to the moment.

"Y-Y-YUKIO? Where did you come from? (Can you turn invisible or something?)"

Yukio stared with shiny glasses that didn't show his eyes. He once again displayed his so-called "mysteriousness." If only he didn't have his glasses…then he'd be powerless… Aright - alright - alright, enough with the glasses thing, let's get on with the story…

"I saw the other students running out of the hall…so I came to see what was wrong…(Invisible? Of all the things you've thought of…)"

Rin got all flustered.

"U-uh n-nothing's wrong! I was just showing Aidyn around!"

He gestured towards his new friend. Yukio glanced at the kid, then at Rin.

"Where have you been?"

"H-huh?"

"Where were you?"

"W-well uh-"

Yukio's voice hardened. "You snuck out didn't you?"

"E-ehhhh…No. I-I-I"

"Rin. You've blatantly ignored True Cross orders. You honestly don't understand what you're getting yourself into."

Okay, now Rin was pissed. "Okay fine! But be more grateful! All I did was go to the grocery store to get…"

Rin looked down at his empty hand to find no carton of milk…He totally forgot to go the store… His attention completely shifted after he saw Aidyn being attacked. Yukio continued to stare…coldly…he must've been real stressed out. No matter, Rin was ready to give him the slip. He put his hand on Aidyn's shoulder and began to nudge him forward.

"Oh…well…ah..haha…nice seeing ya little brother. I'm gonna show Aidyn here a bit more of the school so-"

There was a CA-SHACK sound behind Rin. His new friend yelped. It was Yukio, his gun held firmly in front of him. Rin's voice deepened and grew serious.

"Whoa- whoa - hey…what's the meaning of this Yukio? What the hell are you doing?"

His kid brother responded swiftly.

"I'm afraid I can't allow you leave…the two of you have been possibly exposed."

"Exposed?"

"Yes, exposed to a deadly plague. Now, if you will come with me brother, we need to first burn your clothing."

"HEEEEEEHHHHH?"

"I'm serious."

A plague…? SINCE WHEN? Why doesn't anyone tell me about these things-DAMNIT! Is everyone okay?

"Okay, okay, okay-fine. Just put that thing away will ya? You're scaring Aidyn."

Yukio lowered his gun. How strange it must've been to Aidyn, a foreign student, to run into a fellow classmate with a gun.

"Please follow me, we must isolate you immediately."

That was how the awkwardness began.
