Hi I'm back again. I'm really sorry that I took so long. I had so much homework that I barely had any free time.
Thank you for all your reviews. They really help me stay inspired for this story.
Also thanks to my beta Xelaric The Nobody.
From now on I will be posting when the next chapter is expected to come out on my profile page.

Yukio's POV
Evening; 8:00 p.m.
.
I walked down another hallway and started heading towards Mephisto's office. I needed to report to him that Rin's sword was missing. I was really hoping that my brother had just misplaced it and then assumed that someone broke into his room, but that didn't seem the case. I had been searching since last night, and I still had no idea where his sword could be. Suddenly, my phone started ringing.
"Hello?" I said, yawning.
"Hey Yukio, can you get me something to eat?" my brother said. "I'm hiding on our dorm's roof right now."
"Why are you hiding?" I asked exasperated.
"All my classmates have come to the wrong conclusion that I 'killed' Rin," He said. "And now they are after me."
"Where did they come up with that idea?" I asked, frowning.
"I have no idea," He said.
"I'll bring you up food after I report to Mephisto about your sword," I said tiredly.
"Oh right, you're looking for my sword," Rin said nervously. "Ah, see I kind of found it already. It turns out that Bon broke into my room and stole it. I got it back though."
"And you neglected to tell me?" I said angrily.
"Um I was kind of worried about being found by my classmates…I'm really sorry," Rin said embarrassed. I sighed and rubbed my forehead.
"I'll be up soon." I said finally.
"Thanks, Yukio!" my brother said hanging up. I sighed again and headed down to the kitchens.
.
Bon's POV
.
I woke up and looked up at the star covered sky.
"Where am I?" I wondered, blinking tiredly. Suddenly, it all came back to me. "Tyler!" I yelled sitting up in the grass and looking around. The place was deserted and dark. "Did I feel asleep?" I muttered out loud. After a bad night's sleep and that fight with Tyler, I guess I was more tired than I thought I was. I groaned and tried to stand up.
"What do we have here?" came a voice from behind me. I turned to see the teacher, Mr. Maco, standing behind me.
"Mr. Maco?" I thought worriedly. "Isn't he working with Tyler? They did see him talking to Tyler after all."
"What do you want?" I demanded. A huge creepy smile crossed Mr. Maco's face.
"You'll find out so enough." He hissed, pulling out a bottle of something and throwing it at me. The bottle hit the ground and burst into blue smoke. I started coughing and my head started to feel heavy. I sunk to the ground as the world swarmed before me and went black.
.
Rin's POV
Midnight…
.
"Okay, this is it," I said to myself. "I'm going to go in there and get all the information. Then this mission is going to finally end." I gripped both of my swords. One of them was Kurikara; the other one was just a random sword Yukio gave me. He ordered me to only use Kurikara if it was completely necessary. I sighed and peeked my head into the classroom where the meeting was going to take place.
"Hello?" I called uncertainly.
"Hello, Tyler Evergroth," A voice said from the corner. A hooded figure was sitting there. The hooded figure stood up and went to the corner of the room where he removed some of the tiles revealing a hole in the ground.
"Follow me," He hissed and jumped down. I followed him down the hole and into a tunnel. We walked to the end of the tunnel which came opened up into a large room. The room was full of hooded figures, students, and teachers.
"All these people are part of this?" I wondered in horror.
"Welcome, Evergroth," A man said from the far end of the room. He wore a long black robe and had symbols all over his face.
"Uh, so what's this about?" I asked.
"If you are here, it must mean you want power," The man said, ignoring my question. "Your peers are hostile towards you, and you wish for more in life. We find people like you and allow you to join us in our quest for power."
"Quest for power?" I asked
"You'll learn more about it after you join," He said.
"Shoot, I was hoping to get this mission over with as soon as possible," I thought glumly.
"To join us, you must prove you have turned your back on your peers and teachers," The man continued. He raised his hand and a pit opened in the middle of the room. It looked like an arena of some sort.
"Go down there and kill your opponent then you may join us!" He exclaimed. I sighed and jumped down into the area. A few seconds later Mr. Maco jumped down carrying someone who was tied up. He put the person down and untied him.
"Have fun," Mr. Maco said, smirking, and then he climbed up out of the arena. The person groaned and stood up.
"No," I said, shocked, as the person came into view. "Bon?"
.
Bon's POV
.
"Have fun," I heard Mr. Maco said. I groaned and dragged myself to my feet.
"Where am I?" I thought. "What's going on?"
"Bon?" I heard someone say behind me. I turned to see Tyler standing there looking shocked.
"You," I hissed. Then I noticed that he had Rin's sword which was no longer chained up.
"You may begin to fight," Someone said from above us. Tyler sighed and pulled out the other sword he was carrying. I ran forward and grabbed his arm before he could even move.
"I'm going to take you down," I hissed.
"You really don't have any idea what's going on," He said back. "Let go!"
"So you can kill me?" I snorted. "Not going to happen."
"I'm not going to kill you!" He said through his teeth, trying to pull his arm out of my grip.
"Like I'm going to believe that!" I yelled, kicking him in the stomach. He gave a startled cry and fell back. I grabbed his sword as he fell and pointed it at him.
"I'm going to make you pay for everything!" I snarled, running forward. He jumped out of my way and easily dodged me.
"I don't want to fight!" he said. I swung again at him.
"This isn't good," I thought as he easily dodged me again. "Whatever stuff that teacher threw at me is still messing with my head and my strength. If he tried to fight me seriously, he'd win. I got to think of something." I tried to attack him again.
"Listen to me!" he exclaimed, dodging my third attack. I thrust forward and managed to hit him in the arm. He hissed a little and grabbed the blade with his hands causing them to bleed. He twisted it out of my grip knocking me down. He pointed his sword at me.
"This isn't the end," I said, panting. "You'll be stopped."
"I'm really sorry that you got involved," He muttered and then darted forward with his sword. The world went to blackness.
.
Third Person POV
.
Bon fell to the ground covered in blood, a huge slash mark across his chest.
"Okay then, he's dead!" Tyler said standing up, wiping the blood off his sword. "What do you want me to do with him?"
"Dispose of the corpse anyway you feel fit," The man in the black robes said. "Congratulations Tyler you are now one of us. Come to the meeting tomorrow and we will get you your fire assignment."
"Okay," Tyler said, dragging Bon's body out the door…
.
Early the next morning.
Rin's POV.
.
"That was a close one," Yukio said, "But you did well."
"Thanks," I said, looking down at Bon who was lying on the bed.
"How did you think up that idea anyways?" Yukio asked.
"It was something that happened in a manga I read," I said smiling.
"Oh, that explains it." He said.
"Hey, you make it sound like I couldn't think that up on my own!" I exclaimed. He rolled his eyes.
"Now we need to decide what to do about him," Yukio said. "I'm going to report this to our superiors. Keep him here in your room for now. Don't worry about intruders. I fixed your lock on the door."
"Can I explain things now?" I asked.
"Feel free to." My brother said heading to the door. "He's part of this now. It's not like he can go back to class now that he's 'dead'."
"Yeah," I said, smiling, as my brother left the room.
.
Flash back…..
Rin's POV
. (Rin's thoughts are in [ ])
.
Bon went flying back and hit the ground glaring up at me.
["This area,"] I thought looking around. ["No one can really see what's going on."]
"This isn't the end," Bon said panting "You'll be stopped."
"I'm really sorry that you got involved," I muttered and darted forward. I quickly hit him with the handle of my sword. Then I turned my sword around and cut a slash across his shirt using my blood that was on the sword to make it look like it was a deep cut.
["That should do it!"] I thought as he fell down. ["Now, I just need to get him out of here and everything should be fine."]
"Okay then, he's dead!" I said, standing up and wiping the blood off my sword. "What do you want me to do with him?" I asked.
["Please let me deal with him by myself,"] I thought.
"Dispose of the corpse anyway you feel fit." The man in the black robes said. "Congratulations Tyler you are now one of us. Come to the meeting tomorrow and we will get you your fire assignment."
"Okay," I said, trying not to let a look of relief cross my face.
.
Back in the present…
.
Bon groaned and opened his eyes.
"Where am I?" he asked tiredly.
"My room," I said cheerfully. He stared at me.
"What's going on?" he demanded. "Tell me, now!"
"Hold on," I said, pulling out my identity amulet.
"What's that?" he asked, staring at it.
"It's a powerful item that can hide one's identity," I said, reaching for the clamp to take it off." Now that you're part of all this, I can tell you everything."
.
Yeah it's a cliffhanger sorry about that. Please, please review and I'll try to get the next chapter out as fast as possible.
