Chapter 2

-Outside of the dorms-

It had been a long, exhausting day for Yukio but a boring one for Rin. It wasn't so much the school part, just watching the boring human, which he still didn't consider his brother. Why would he?

Yukio smiles at Rin and points to the door that was to the dorm. Oh, maybe he could invite him in and at least convince him to eat? Why wouldn't he give it a try? It was the appropriate and nice thing to do.

"Would you like to come in for a bit," he offers, "I could make you something to eat before you have to head off back home?"

Rin once again fakes a smile and nods. Might as well since he was with him anyway. Besides, Mephisto did tell him to get close and he was invited in. It was rude to turn such a kind gesture down.

"That actually sounds like a good idea, I mean I've not eaten all day and brother will get on my case if I come home starving and will try to make me something," Rin replies, admitting that his brother didn't cook at all well. "Thank you."

Yukio brightens up and opens the door, gesturing the other to come in and he does. He follows him and closes the door before leading to the cafeteria area. Although he keeps an eye on where he is going, he occasionally glances back at Rin. It really did bother him that he didn't know why he felt so familiar.

Rin didn't even pay attention to the other male and didn't care if he kept looking at him. He already knew he was quite handsome and didn't need to hear it from them. Though it amused him, how curious the other was about him. Did he know who he was in some way? Who knew.

"And here we are, this is the area where we eat," Yukio says with a smile as he turns on the light, a meal already prepared. "I don't know who makes the food, but it's very good."

"You have your own dorm cook, then?" Rin asks and raises an eyebrow and watches the other male, pretty sure that his elder brothers familiar cooked here. "Is there anyone else in this dorm?"

Yukio walks over to the food as Rin sits down and picks it up. He couldn't help but glance back at him once more before heading over to the table and setting the food down.

"There are a few others in this dorm but it I am sure more will be coming in the next few days," Yukio responds and takes a bite out of his food, "What about you, where do you stay?"

Rin holds back a laugh, finding his question ridiculous. He thought it was obvious, seeing as Mephisto raised him. Where else would he live but the mansion? Well, that and Gehenna but he was sure Mephisto wouldn't be too pleased if he mentioned that. Not to mention it would probably ruin any progress he was trying to accomplish with Yukio.

"My brother raised me from birth, you see, so I have always lived with him in the mansion, " Rin explains, once again getting bored as he eats his food. He couldn't wait to finally go home.

There were many moments of silence as both males focused mainly on eating. What else was there to say? Rin was getting far too bored to play pretend anymore for the night and Yukio couldn't think of anything to say anyway. There would be other days to accomplish more things, after all, all they had was time.

Once Rin finishes his food, he stands up and adjusts his collar straight. He then finally looks at the twin and sighs.

"Well as fun as this has been, I really must be heading off, don't want to worry my brother too much," He says, though he was pretty sure the older demon wouldn't care anyway, "But the food was a nice treat so thank you, Mister Okumura."

"Please, call me Yukio," The other respons with a smile and nods, "Of course, just say the word and we could do it again? It really was nice meeting you, Rin."

"Very well...Yukio," Rin replies and bows before turning to face the door, "See you around, I guess."

With that he heads towards the door, not looking back as his smile does falter once it his face was hidden from sight. Finally the night was over with..

Yukio just stands there and watches as the other just leaves. Who is this boy to me? Why do I feel like I know him? Yukio thinks to himself. Oh, maybe Mephisto would know...he would have to ask as soon as possible.

-Later at Mephisto's mansion-

The raven haired demon finally arrives at the mansion to find Mephisto waiting for him, whom was sitting on his desk with his legs crossed. Rin loosens his tie, not taking a single eye off of the elder demon, as he was getting quite hot and he hated wearing that tie for so long.

"Well, well, how unlike you to be home so late, my brother," Mephisto smirks and hops off of his desk, slowly approaching him. "Tell me, how are things going so far with the Mister Okumura, Rin?"

"Surprisingly well, it would seem the human is either curious about me, or likes me," Rin replies his eyes staring right into Mephisto's, "However, I find him very dull...I don't see why you seem so interested in him."

This makes Mephisto chuckle softly as he brushes Rin's cheek with one of his gloved hands.

"Very good, I knew you wouldn't disappoint me, just keeping doing what you are doing~" Mephisto smirks, "As for why I am interested him in, that doesn't matter right now. All will be revealed in time."

Rin just sighs and crossed his arms, honestly he felt wore out out of pure boredom. He hated having to play babysit for his apparent human brother but he would do what he had to do anyway. It was just weird, his brother being interested in something so simple and dull.

"Very well, now what kind of reward did I earn, Brother," Rin asks, being as patient as he could. Surprisingly enough, he had a large amount of patience than he did many years ago. "Something good I hope? Considering how much work I will be putting into babysitting a human."

Mephisto sighs and gestures Rin to sit in the seat in front of his desk before taking his own seat behind the desk. He waits until the younger demon to speak up, now looking completely serious. His now rests his head on his hands.

"You don't understand yet, do you? Well let me tell you something I've not ever told anyone else because I know as my kin, that you will understand.." He leans in and grins. "For well over two hundred years I've been doing this, watching and monitoring mortals but it is something that I take a great amount of pleasure in. Just as you should, my dear younger brother."

Rin's interest peaks up slightly as he leans in close as well. He had to admit his brother had quite the silver tongue. Still, Mephisto had always been such a tease, so it was surprising to hear him actually admit to something. The elder demon now had his full attention.

"You see, Assiah is my chessboard, I've spent a very long time setting up its pieces and manipulating things to how I want them. As my kin, you have the privilege to do the same." Mephisto continued, his grin getting wider. "That human brother of ours has the potential to be a very important part of our game and it would be very beneficial to keep that, don't you agree?."

The younger demon does think this over. Rin hadn't really thought of it like that before. Still, that wouldn't keep him from getting bored. He was much like Amaimon in the way that he got bored easily. That was something Mephisto never managed to change and he did try hard. He sighs and nods.

"I suppose I understand, I mean him possibly being something important.." Rin just sighs and leans back in his seat. "Just right now he is so boring it's nearly suffocating. Also, I noticed he is very clingy, for some reason he just wouldn't stop staring at me."

This makes Mephisto laugh. "That's probably because of how intelligent he is. It is most likely that he is already figuring things out, so you best be careful." Might be interesting to see how this plays out…

"Don't worry, I'm not worried about him finding out about me, I am sure he isn't that smart," Rin mutters and stands up. "Well I think I will head off to bed, it's been a rather tedious day and I need as much rest as I can to prepare for tomorrow.."

Rin just walks out of the room, heading to his own room, which wasn't very far from Mephisto's. Though the young demon never really got much sleep anyway, so he ended up doing other thinkgs like play the video games in the main room. Mephisto watches silently before continuing to work on his files that he had been working on before Rin came home.
