'Oh crap.' Was Rin's first thought. 'Is he an alcoholic?' was his second. Rin was going to say something when Yukio hid his face on the desk and started shaking quietly. It took the elder a second to recognise what was going on, and he panicked when he finally got the hint. Yukio was crying. Uh oh. He patted him on the back awkwardly, eyes darting about for anything he could distract him with.

A squelching sound, then a thud came from the front of the room, Rin looked up and saw the obese creature that was to be their teacher coming over to them slowly. Rin gulped. "Okumura. Window." He blinked. "Hah?". The teacher growled and reached over to him very deliberately, and then sharply brought his flabby fist up in a powerful uppercut. The Coal Tar tittered excitedly as the fat man patted Yukio on the head, ignoring the bruised child on the floor on the other side of the room.

"W-Window… right." Rin got up and quickly moved to bring Yukio with him. The teacher grinned with his ugly teeth at that. "Alone, Okumura. My name's Mr. Kurokoro. But you can just call me Koro-sama." Rin glared at him, and hesitated, reaching halfheartedly for Yukio before he let his hand drop. "Fine…" He stomped over to the window just as the other children started coming in.

He glared out the window during roll call, and when he spoke he made sure to burn a few Coal Tar around the room in the same angry breath. It was getting stuffy anyway. Yukio stared in awe at the blue fire, oblivious to the lesson, and Rin smiled. At least Yukio wasn't hellbent on killing his Demon side yet, that was good. More than good, actually.

"Okumura!" The demon blinked, and looked at the teacher confused. "I said, what's 7 X 9?" Rin barely had to think about it before he answered. "63, sir." The teacher gained a glint in his eye and the Coal Tar started moving faster. "12 X 12 + 19 on the board, please." The last word was a mockery of politeness. A moment passed in stiff silence from the rest of the class. "Now-!" Rin moved quickly, and was down before anyone realised he'd moved.

The teacher practically snarled, but slammed a textbook on the desk without hitting Rin again. "Work on this then, you smart shit!" The entire class started crowing Smart Shit through the rest of the lesson, and Rin was left feeling empty by the end of first period.

Break couldn't come soon enough for Rin that day, and even though it was after a rather dull Japanese lesson where they were learning about connectives of all the boring things Elementary school could have come up with and Rin? Well, he just wanted to sleep. Still, he held himself back fairly well, all things considered.

The Bell was still ringing loud and clear for break to begin and the playground was mostly empty in the time Rin had managed to drag Yukio to the other side of a large Cherry tree on the far side so that they were hidden. Yukio pulled his arm out of the grasp just when it looked like Rin was considering whether jumping the wall would be a good idea or not. "Rin! What's up with you?!"

Rin flinched back at the stern tone. "Um- ah… That is to say-" Yukio glared at him with a look reminiscent of a mother, and pushed his glasses up. Rin leaned back and closed his eyes, tensing up. "That math teacher, um, did he seem, er, weird to you?" Yukio blinked. "He seems like a very good teacher to me. Kind and caring."

Rin jumped back, aghast. "What do you-?!" He cut himself off though when a flash of white fur on top of Yukio's head appeared in his vision for a moment a long with a trilling sound. He looked around and saw flashes of white all around him accompanied by the same sound before they faded away.

Suddenly, a dark sounding growl came from behind him. He realised Yukio wasn't reacting at all, and was only staring at Rin slightly angrily now, though mostly he appeared confused. He turned around as if too storm off and hunched his shoulders, looking up casually. He would have screamed if he was an actual kid because hovering in the air in front of him was an abomination, with no other possible description.

With thick, untamed dirty white fur in all lengths covering a skeletal body it was freaky certainly, rather like seeing a dead rabbit after it's met a fox. The tail was dripping miasma from half healed wounds and one of its legs was hanging on by a few twisted black tendons thick as oil. The face had the skin peeling off to rest coiled around it's muzzle like a mockery of a moustache. Its wings seemed whole- apart from the gaping kanji for death burned into the underside of them.

Rin shuddered at the sight, then keeping with his charade he stormed off to 'sulk' while instead he was burning the demon with the blue flames that had too many times saved and nearly destroyed his life in the same fold of time. He ignored its raspy screams and kept on walking. Somehow he ended up outside the school grounds and eventually he came across a river.

Sighing heavily, Rin walked down to the river bed and sat there painfully aware of how empty the place was. A fish demon wailed happily under the water, and Rin smiled down at it. Then he recoiled upon seeing his reflection. He truly did look like a demon with his teeth out like that… The fish demon stuck it's head out of the water and gurgled at him, still happy. Rin stroked it behind it's fins. Yeah, maybe I should stop worrying. It's probably just a mean tamer and I can tell Dad about it and it'll all be okay cause he can fix that sort of thing. Yeah…

"You saw the teeth."

"Yes."

"Begin Preparations."

"…"

MWAHAHA! I do believe this turned out pretty good. I'm actually building up a plot and stuff too!

Thanks a BUNCH for everyone's super support, and if you have any questions feel free to ask them in a review. I'll get back to you.

Hmm… Rin might seem a bit OOC but do you remember how Immature he was in the actual thing? (also, I'm following the anime timeline) Well, I think Demons mature slower or something because seriously. Amaimon. Mephisto. Satan.
