On with the fic xXx

Rin opened his eyes, his chest pounding with a foreign feeling he couldn't describe. He felt like something inside him had torn but it wasn't a physical feeling, maybe he imagined it? He found himself staring at the floor of what appeared to be a forest and several pairs of feet under black robes. The last thing he remembered was an unbearable agony shooting through him in the old shabby house and everything after that was blank. Voldermort had performed whatever ritual he had and broke Kurikara, taking his heart and implanting it into that wand. He glanced around, not moving his head, and nioticed a huge gathering of death eaters, all eyes seemed to be fixated on one thing. He scoped the area in a little more detail as he straightened, feeling shaken and found the person everyone had been fixated on. Voldermort stood, staring at something away from the group with an uneasy expression. Rin had to stop himself from snarling at the figure who had tried to take control of him, it had obviously worked to a degree but why had it stopped now? He didn't know. Voldermort shouted to one of the death eaters, a woman with whitish blond and black hair and she walked out to something Rin noticed on the floor. A body. The woman knelt over the dark figure and a moment later, stood with a voctorious expression on her face.

"He's dead." She announced. There was half a seconds silence before the death eaters erupted into applause, cat calling and stamping their feet. Voldermort sneered gleefully and he turned directly towards him. Rin froze, terrified that he might have noticed he was in his right mind again but instead of shooting a spell or something, he lifted a hand towards the corpse and smiled.

"Rin, if you please. Put the boy in the half giants hands. I want everyone to see him." Rin relaxed a little and made a snap decision to go with it, maybe he could figure out why he had control back or at the very least keep up his facade until he could slip away and rejoin Harry and the others. He slowly walked towards the figure and a slow sense of dread filled him as he noticed the familiar jacket the slumped figure wore. As he got closer his stomach knotted as he realised who the jacket and, now that he could see better, the circular glasses belonged to. Fighting every urge to shake him he rolled him on his back and examined the figure for half a second before gathering the larger boy I his arms. He was dead. He wanted to avenge his friend, the boy who had saved him from the death eaters wrath. His instincts where at war with each other. Should he run? Could he run? Every inch of him hurt and his already wrecked body screamed in protest as he picked up the deceptively heavy deadweight and his mind raced. calm down, calm down. he repeated the words over and over in his head as he turned around, it taking every fiber of his concentration to keep his expression as blank as possible. He looked at the death eaters with a burning hatered and spotted the unmistakable half giant Voldermort had spoke of; who was on his knees, held by chains attatched to heavy shackles around his hands and neck. The grief stricken man extended his bound hands as Rin approached and all but ragged Harry out of his arms when he reached them, holding him close to his chest like a parent would an infant. Not knowing what else to do he turned back to Voldermort as he was supposed to be under his control and waited. The dark wizard swept across the clearing and waved a hand above his head.

"Let Hagrid and Rin lead, I want them to see Harry's body and my new prize. Rin, follow me." He said the words as if speaking to a dear friend and Rin like something in his mind told him too. Shuddering at the alien feeling he did as he was instructed, having no other option but to follow. He knew Hagrid was just behind him with death eaters surrounding him, holding his bounds as they made their way through the forest and as long as he kept up the facade, he was safe.

They walked through the forest until the trees thinned out and the floor levelled onto more even grass and the castle that was used as a school came into sight. Rin hadn't paid much notice to his surroundings, his head spiralling as he debated what to do until he snapped out of it as they eventually came to a bridge littered with the bodies of humans, demons and various other creatures. Voldermort flicked his wand and the corpses slid off the side the edge of the walkway, falling to whatever lay below the bridge and with each motion of his wand, Rin felt an uncomfortable itch pass over his skin. 'Maybe it's something to do with my heart' he thought dismissively. They eventually came to a courtyard that had no bodies but his nose was assaulted with the scent of blood and death. They came to a standstill at the edge of the courtyard, opposite grand double doors which Rin asumed was the main enter to Hogwards and Voldermort broke ranks from his followers, raising his arms expectantly. A number of students and teachers slowly made their way through the huge doorway looking around and he heard their distressed mutters.

"Harry Potter...is dead!" Voldermort announced to the death eaters around them erupted into cheers and shouts of their victory and Rin felt sick. Amongst the sorrowful faces he spotted two familiar ones holding back a short red haired girl who could only be a relative of Ron's. Hermiones eyes welled up and Ron's face contourted with hatred and Rin's heart wrung, he wished more than anything that he could tell them it was ok, that they would defeat Voldermort and humiliate his corpse the way they where himiliating Harry's. Voldermort was speaking but the words could have been in a cling on for all he knew. He wished more than anything someone would give him some kind of idea of what to do because he felt hopeless, lost. What could he do? He raked his mind, hating himself for not being smarter, not unexpectedly coming up with nothing. The sound of his name being called snapped him out of his spiral and he turned to see Voldermort beconing him forward.

"Come," he said gently and the tone he used was repulsive. He reluctantly steps forward, not sure what to expect. He saw Shura out of the corner of his eye as he walked but didn't dare turn his head. Not knowing what else to do he came to a stop a few paces away from Voldermort who reached out a fond hand, Rin stopped himself from flinching away in repulsion. The warped hand rested on his shoulder and the robed man closed the distance, his arms enveloped his shoulders in something that he guessed was supposed to be, his stomach churned, a hug. Voldermort kept his gaze towards where Shura was and he asumed she was who the words where for. They started a fire of fury within him.

"well I would but you see...he answers to me, only me." Rin was a second away from putting a hole through the wizards chest with his bare claws but he didn't get a chance. He saw something tiny fly past his vision and a small splatter of blackish blood and the next second Voldermort had released him. He didn't dare turn to see what had happened and had an even harder time stopping himself from turning around as something very close by fell to the floor, something that sounded like a body. What or whoever had dropped reared and Rin couldn't stop himself from turning his head as that person shouted the name of a spell. His guess had been right on what had hit the floor but now that he looked, said boy was standing with his wand raised, very much alive. Sweet, cleansing relief and a million questions flew through the half demons mind as he turned to find the source of the earlier bang. He had expected to see Shura or a wizard who had found a gun dropped by a death eater and had bravely decided to try and put a bullet in Voldermorts head but his head spun with adrenaline as he saw no non other than his brother, flames flickering around him mildly as he held a pistol up, its barrel aimed at the serpentine man and a livid look on his face. Behind him with their weapons raised stood all his fellow exwires, oddly wearing exorcists coats. Behind them where an array of familiar faces, teachers, some exorcists he had seen on their missions, amidst them also stood Angel, the paladin. 'they came,' he thought with a mixture of giddiness and a looming sense of foreboding. He could have cried with happiness at seeing their familiar faces but he had to keep his composure.

"Get. Your. Hands. Off. My. Brother." Yukio hissed with rage, his fury made Rin's neck hairs prickled. Everyone around them froze in place, their sight turning from him to something behind him, Harry most likely, and then to Yukio and the exorcists behind him. In the moment of shock he spotted Izumo who had her two foxes at her side. She was panting heavily and her oddly shaped brows where drawn together in fury. She hadn't changed a bit. His momentary nostalgia was interrupted when someone from behind them shot a green spell at something on the ground and the world around him began moving again. He heard Bellatrix suddenly start screaming for someone to come back and a series of odd 'whoos'ing sounds caught his attention but he was far to focused on his brother to care. He saw Harry run past him towards a wall and jumped over it. A spell followed him and reduced the ceiling above the walkway to rumble and a strange flicker of pain rippled over his skin like earlier, he gasped as the sensation reached a peak. As quickly as it had came about, it died to nothing. The witches and Wizards who had leaked out of the castle retreated back into it, shooting spells of all colours at the death eaters. They swept past him much to his luck, although he was immune to their spells some of them packed quite a punch. He focused on Yukio running towards him, closely followed by Izumo, and the other exwires and exorcists filed out behind them and attacking demons that emerged from somewhere behind the mass of death eaters, Rin clenched his teeth. He couldn't let him know, he couldn't let them know he was ok, that Harry, Ron and Hermione would make a plan and fix everything. Yukio sprinted to his side and grabbed his forearm and his heart caught in his throat as he came face to face with his twin. He was surprised when their eyes met and Yukio's eyes widened in something that looked like shock. He wondered what he saw but didn't get a chance as he was dragged out of the line of fire between the waring wizards. Yukio pulled him further away and he found himself surrounded by his class mates and a lump formed in his throat.

"Rin! Rin, can you hear me?" Yuki said while shaking his arm roughly, voice desperate.

'Yes, I'm here.' He kept his lips sealed but his mind screamed in protest. He hissed as the shaking caused his ribs to grind together but other than that, he didn't allow himself to show any form of emotion, staring blankly into his brothers eyes. A moment later a familiar redhead was at his side and pried his hand off his shoulder.

"Move, he's not himself. Sort of like being posessed," Shura explained. Her interference came at a perfect time as Rin didn't think he could keep his facade up for much longer, not while Yukio looked at him with such hurt in his eyes. She pulled him back away from him towards the school entrance but another person appeared in front of him and grabbed a fistful of his shirt. Izumo.

"Rin! What's wrong?! Answer us!" She cried, eyes glistening. She turned to Shura with a look of unbearable desperation. "What's wrong with him?!" She waved her hand and Rin saw the two white forms that where Uke and Mike move behind him but he never found out what for. Above the cries of anguish, spells being invoked and the scenery being destroyed Rin picked up on a familiar voice.

"Rin! Seize the boy! Bring him to me!" Voldermorts voice rang over the roar of noise and Rin swallowed dryly. With some reluctance he moved out of Izumo's grasp and twisted towards where he had seen Harry run moments previous. He heard his brother and the others calling him back but he clenched his teeth and screwed his eyes up. He could see them later, they just needed to get past this, figure things out and win this war. He climbed over the wall Harry had jumped over not moments before and an idea brewing in his mind as he ran.

Harry came to a standstill in the corridor he had been running, trying to grasp what just happened. That boy who turned up looked just like Rin, he was probably his brother Yukio. If he could get to him maybe he could use his flames and find a way to destroy the Horcrux attached to Rin. As if summoned by his thoughts, a pair of footsteps followed him and he turned to see said half demon running at him as fast as his injuries would let him. Cursing under his breath he turned tail and ran, shooting a spell behind him. He turned a corner and turned around, wand grasped in his hand. As soon as Rin turned the corner he brandished his wand at the ceiling above. 'sorry for this,' he thought as he shot the spell.

"Reducto!" He called and the ceiling crumbled, chunks of it the size of his torso falling down and on top on the half demon who disappeared under the debris. He tread cautiously, edging towards the pile of rocks as the dust settled. A large piece of rock was pushed to one side and a panting Rin shakily emerged from the pile. Harry turned to run again but froze on the spot as he heard his name called.

"H-Harry...It's...me.." Herry stood still, routed to the spot at the pained voice that followed him and he slowly turned around. Rin stood there, both hands on the rock as he leaned his weight on them and his face, although his eyes where still black and empty, he smiled. "That was a l-little h-harsh don't you t-think?" Harry watched in abstract bewilderment as the half demon lost his balance and landed on his knees, one hand clutching his side, the other on the floor. Harry awkwardly moved forwards automatically, kneeling in front of Rin who lifted his head.

"Rin?" He asked uncertainly. His eyes swirled mistily and it creeped the hell out of the blackette but his expression was soft, eyebrows furrowed.

"Yeah it's...me." Harry shifted and pulled his arm over his shoulders, not wanting to know what kind of pain the smaller must be in right now. He lifted Rin up, slowing his movements when he grunted and lead him to one of the larger rocks where he sat him down. "...d-damn..." he growled, again clutching his ribs which, even through his clothers, stuck out at unnatural angles.

"W..what's goi-"

"I don't know," Rin answered for him as he took short breaths. "The last thing... I remember is Vo...Voldermort breaking Kurikara...an then I was in...the forest where...they thought they had k... killed you." He struggled to get his words out and Harry really felt sorry for the half demon. "I'm in control of...myself now...I thought I could...try and stay close to him...and get something out of him..." he turned to meet Harry's eyes and he smiled a little. "Pretty smart for me really," he chuckled and Harry couldn't help but admire his idea, he had seen on many occasions that Rin wasn't the brightest of sparks but this was borderline ingenious. "S-So what now?" He asked, looking at Harry expectantly. He took a moment to realise the half demon was asking him a question before actually answering.

"We need to kill Voldermorts snake, Nagini. He's a Horcrux." He explained and Rin nodded lightly.

"Then what?" He asked, breath steadying as he appeared to catch his breath and Harry noticed some of the small cuts that had opened from half of the ceiling falling on him had healed. He braced himself for his next words, trying to pick the right ones as not to scare the younger.

"Uum, Do you know what really happened when you drew Kurikara for the first time after getting it back?" His face was serious as he analysed the bluenettes reaction, his face hardened and he nodded, waitung for him to continue. Harry took a breath. "Listen, after that ceromony Professor Snape left me a memory and I went to the headmasters office where I can put it into something called a pensive and watch what happened in the momory. When I did it I found out that I was a Horcrux, when Voldermort killed my parents a piece of his soul broke off and attached itself to me, when I went to the forest he used the killing curse on me... somehow I'm still alive." He watched Rin's eyebrows raise further and further as he spoke, the expression would have been comical if not for the situation. "In the pencive I saw Professor Dumbledore and Snape talking, he had Kurikara and he said him letting you get your sword was all a part of Voldermorts plan." Harry stopped for breath before rushing back into his explaination, speaking quickly. "Remeber when you said you saw Voldermort killing someone with Kurikara right after we broke out of Gringotts? That was Voldermort trapping a piece of his soul in Kurikara. Dumbledore said when you opened the sword you yourself would become a Horcrux, not Kurikara or your demon heart, you." Harry fell into silence, watching the half-demon as he took the information in, he could practically see the cogs turning in his head. They stayed silent for a few minutes before the bluenette forced a smile.

"So...if I'm alive he can't die?" He said slowly, eyes down. Harry swallowed and when he met the youngers black eyes he almost saw something in them."Tell me something, wizards can't use magic if they don't have their wands right?" Harry nodded slowly, seeing where the Rin was going with this. "If I can get close enough to him I can take his wand, that will buy more than enough time to find the snake won't it?" He asked, expression hopefully. Harry thought it over for half a second and smiled.

"You're smarter than you come across, for now can you keep acting like you're under control? If anyone sees you acting on your own he might find out before we can act."

"Yeah, I can feel when he wants me to do something but it's more of a nagging that something I can't refuse, I just feel him wanting me to catch you and drag you back to him." Rin explained with a frown. His expression sharpened and his elven ears twitched, "someone's coming this way, a few people running up stairs." Harry looked around expectantly but realised he wouldn't be able to hear.

"Lets go and see who it is, it could be death eaters, if you keep up the act for the moment we can take them out. The stairway is this way." He started walking quickly down the corridor with Rin in his stride, when they came to the door leading to the stairway Rin grabbed him by the wrist.

"It's Shiemi and Hermione! There are others but I can't make out who it is," he exclaimed. Harry sighed with relief and bragged the half demon.

"Alright, pretend to attack me and I'll pretend to head you off, find somewhere to hide and I'll come and find you when we've figured something out. Can you life that rock over there?" He said as they reached the stairway and Rin heard their aproaching friends on the staircase below just out of sight. He spotted the rock the elder was pointing to and with a grunt, picked it up and, once the footsteps stopped a few paces away, noddded at Harry and threw the rock where it would certainly miss, doing his upmost best to not react to the scream of protest the action caused him forom his abdomen and arms.

"HARRY!" "RIN!" He turned at the familiar voices calling their names and did what he could to stop himself from running to them. Shiemi's and Konekomaru's faces where a mix of shock and concern. He grit his teeth, gave them a once over to make sure they where uninjured and turned around to Harry's curse, chasing after him as planned. Harry shot a red spell at him which only ruffled his half destroyed shirt and followed. What he didn't expect was something strong and cold to wrap around his ankles and send him cashing to the ground. When he hit the ground he struggled against them but another set of chains wrapped themselves around his wrists, binding him completely. He continued to struggle half heartedly and tried to position himself a little more comfortably on the cold stone floor to allow himself time to heal, the fact that his friends had caught him meant he could rest a little while Harry did what he needed to. He heard Koneko shout something and felt the chains shift. When he looked down he saw vines of some sort growing at a rapid pace and entwining themselves inbetween the chains links, bamboo. "when did you get better at that?" he thought with amusement at how the vines seemed to be growing from the floor instead of Shiemi's familiars body. He continued to struggle a little less frantically and listened to their conversation. The exchange was simple but horror coursed through his vains when Shima said Voldermort was being posessed. He barely heard the rest of the conversation until Harry mentioned his sword and something about killing Satan and he began really struggling. He needed to talk to Harry, if he could just get out of these chains he could chase him away from the group and talk to him. There was the sound of two sets of footsteps and Rin could only hope Harry hadn't left when he froze where he stood. Something cold sent a ripple over his skin and raised goosebumps everywhere, a second later he felt like every nerve ending on his body was on fire and he screamed, fighting for consciousness, his head feeling like it would explode. The sensation only lasted a few seconds but to the half demon it felt like an eternity. As quickly as it had came upon him the pain disappeared and he was left trembling on the cold stone floor, throat raspy and only a dull throbbing in his head left. He took a few steadying breaths and tied to break out of the chains seriously this time.

"Can you destract him when he breaks free? We can set up a trap that will hold for a lot longer but we need about two minutes to set up." Koneko was talking and Rin could have laughed, they where making this far too easy. He tore the metal links open and ripped the bamboo up and gingerly got to his feet, body aching from whatever had shook his system earler. He saw the looks of terror his friends where giving him as he turned around and he remembered how they looked at him when they first saw his flames. He supressed the memory and caught Harrys eye, waiting for him to run so he could give chase away from the others. The blackette caught his eye but he didn't do anything and Rin wondered if he had forgotten that he was in his own mind but his eyes showed something odd. Taking the initiative he walked towards him, lightly shoving past the others and Harry finally got the message, turned and ran. Fortunately nobody tried to stop him and he chased after Harry down the stairs and off onto a corridor. When they reached the end Harry stopped and turned around, face uncertain and he kept his wand raised.

"Are you okay?" He asked slowly, backing off. Rin rolled his eyes although Harry probably couldn't see the motion as his eyes where covered in that black mist and trotted to a stop, letting himself drop to his butt under a window.

"Satan's posessing Voldermort." He said, resting his head against the wall behind him and panting. Harry knelt beside him with a frantic look.

"Your sword, Kurikara, Dumbledore said it has the potential to kill Satan, Ron and your friend Shima went to get it." The blackette spoke rapidly.

"I heard. How long will they take?"

"Not long, about 10 minutes if they move quickly. I need to kill the snake, once it's gone-"

"We can kill Satan. Okay, the others are planning on trapping me right?" Harry nodded. "I'll give you as much time as you need, when you've killed the snake, get Kurikara to me however you need to. Satan probably knows the sword can kill him sl he'll want it, he'll probably send me to get it. When I do I'll kick his ass." Harry nodded affirmatively and he looked like he wanted to say something but, oddly, flushed.

"I...I think I know why you...became 'you' again," he started, face screwed up in thought. Rin tilted his head but before he could press he heard the shouts of their friends from a distance. He stood up and gave Harry a shove, sighing inwardly.

"Tell me later, they're ready with their trap. Better start running," he said with a light chuckle as Harry nodded and started at a jog. He shuddered and started after the taller, "I'm not going to enjoy this..."

Rin - literally - spead through the walls of the castle until he broke through the thicker outer wall with much more ease than he had simply moved before laying around for ten minutes, having had a little time to heal and recuperate his energy. He had heard the scrape of something metallic when the snake had appeared and knew Neville was there to deal with the snake. He felt Satan summoning him and decided the sooner he got there the sooner he could make sure everyone was okay and end this. When he broke through the wall and almost stumbled into the courtyard he looked around and walked as calmly as possible to his detested biological fathers side. He saw Bon's hair peaking over a pile of rubble and Yukio laying still with his flames flickering around him and he hoped, prayed that they wheren't too badly injured. He saw Shura and Arthur standing side by side, supporting each other within stones throwing distance of the flaming figure looking much worse for wear than before with their demon blades raised. He scanned every face but couldn't find Ron, Shiema or Harry which could only mean they where still retrieving Kurikara but the absence of a certain purple haired exwire unsettled him. He put it out of his mind and asumed she was inside the castlle.

Exorcists, witches and wizards - enemies and allies - lay strewed across the battlefield, some unnervingly still, others struggling to pull themselves to their feet, scrambling for their fallen weapons. As he reached Satan's side he noticed Yukio disappear over a pile of stone, out of view while Bon, trying his best to be discreet, reloaded his rocket launcher. He flinched as he felt the air disturb around him as Satan fired flames at the exorcists and wizards attempting to get up and allowed his nails to bite into his palms, focusing on the sting instead the overwhelming urge to rip his host body limb from limb. Satans flames washed over him with the force of an explosion and cast a thick blue haze over his vision and he forced his eyes closed, unable to watch his teachers amongst others as they where blasted several feet into the air. Guilt ate st him as he heard their cries and he bit the inner flesh of his cheeks. 'Where are you Harry? Please hurry.'

The flames roared in his ears as seconds crawled past before the almost unbearable heat waned and he slowly opened his eyes, the fog of blue gone. The first thing he noticed besides Satan's maniacal cackle was Bon aiming his rocket launcher directly at Satan. He shot a rocket at him with a blast as it exited the barrel and hit its target with an earsplitting bang. The rocket seemed to explode and a strange blachish powder formed a ring around Satan's form and fell to the ground like a barrier. Immediately after Yukio reemerged from behind the pile of rubble with Harry in tow, each holding a broken piece of Kurikara and Rin's heart fluttered with relief.

Rin immediately felt the tug of Satans command as he watched in shock as his flames whittled down to nothing and he froze where he stood, if he could see his face he could imagine it was a mask of undiluted rage but he seemed unable to move. Before he could so much as think of running to meet one of the two and ending this he heard someone run to a standstill from behind him and felt cold at the first few sylables of a sickeningly familiar mantra. Shura chanted and he remembered the Imprisonment binding clasped around the stalk of his tail as it shrunk and, as a result, constricted the appendage. His spine arched as agony shot up and down his spine and the strength in his legs left him. His palms hit the stone floor and his eyesight turned white as the binding got tighter and tighter as Shura continued to chant. 'I can't pass out now!'

He lifted his head enough to see Harry and Yukio running towards Satan through the white that obscured his vision, clinging to conciousness by a tread when the binding returned to inhailed sharply and got to his feet, swaying dangerously. Whatever seal was nullifying Satan's flames was clearly temporary and from how quickly the two where running at him he asumed it wasn't going to last very long. He saw Satan's flames very faintly flicker back to life and Rin sprang to his feet. Still feeling the tug of his fathers orders he charged at Yukio and, uttering an apology under his breath that went unheard, swung his fist into his little brothers side and sent him out of immediate danger. He then turned to Harry just as he felt the prickle of the same flames he inherited lick at his back and tackled Harry with a run up and they skidded several feet away from the now recovered demon king. Where his palms clasped the larger boy he hissed as he felt like he was covered in acid but ignored it, biting back as the holy water burned away his skin. He stared down at Harry and mouthed a soundless 'sorry' for the attack. He clumsily wrestled with the larger boy who easily gave up his hold on his piece of Kurikara and Rin took it. He stood, gave the blackette a tiny nod and stalked back to Voldermort's side, picking the piece of his sword that Yukio had dropped and holding it in his other hand, both pieces held in a way he could easily attack someone.

He had noticed from the moment he grasped Kurikara's hilt that he didn't get that rush of warmth he had always felt when it was unsheathed and a sad realisation set into his mind. He couldn't go back to the way things where, his heart was all but completely severed from his body and all that was left was this demon, human hybrid body housing the broken piece of Voldermorts soul. If he was human he could have the Horcrux destroyed and live but he wasn't, the only thing that would destroy this thing inside him eithout hurting him was completely useless. Satan was laughing, mocking everyone around and Rin tried to focus on his words but his nerves where shot after everything that had happened, having his heart ripped from him, being used as an accessory, having the Imprisonment binding activated. When was the last time he rested? He couldn't remember.

He took a slow breath. This would't end, he could kill Satan and finally avenge his father but did he want to get locked up until someone found out a way to destroy the thing that made him a Horcrux? No. He'd been locked up for months up until a few weeks ago. He took another slow breath and focused on Satan's words with some effort, waiting for the right time to strike.

"So what will your choice be?" Satan said in a tone that made Rin grind his teeth, he looked at everyone around, studying each and every persons face. He saw the cold look on Yukio and Bon's face, Shima and Ron who stood a distance behind them with defeat clearly etched into their faces. Harry stood a few feet away with a look of anticipation. He asumed Shiemi, Koneko, Hermione and the other boy where somewhere out of his line of sight. He scanned the faces and still failed to find Izumo's and anxiety crept into his stomach. He swallowed thickly and looked at the still faces of those who had fallen, some could have been asleep but others lay with there eyes open. There they where. His hands shook as he met the wide, unmoving crimson eyes he had been looking for and his throat ran dry. His chest heaved as an untamable rage bubbled inside him and he snapped his head up at the sound of his detested father say his name, all that hatred aimed at him.

"...Rin, my pet. My son. Kill him." He locked eyes with the warped figure before him and took a slow slow steps forward, his hand wet with his own blood as he gripped the broken piece of Kurikara with so much force he might loose his fingers if he kept it up. Satan turned away from him, opting to watch Rin's intended target. He came within touching distance of the demon king, any feeling or emotion he had felt a moment ago gone, only one goal in mind. To end this, to avenge his real father, Izumo and everyone else who had died as a result of Satan's presence. To end it all.

He span lightly on his heel, the broken part of his sword aiming directly and he plunged it into Voldermorts body, directly where his heart should be, drawing on every last bit of strength he had. He met Satan's eyes and watched with a twisted pleasure as they widened in horror and then turned to rage. The jagged edges of his irises softerned and he had did his best to tolerate the flames that singed his hair before dying to nothing, deyermined to watch his father leave his host and tjhis world for good. After a few seconds the eyes that observed him in shock where, although warped, very human.

"W...When?... " he hissed, blackish blood filling his mouth and spilling down his lips. Rin kept himself composed but was unable too keep his voice steady, his words dripping in venom.

"That doesn't matter." He readjusted his grip on the blade and twisted it as much as possible, unable to deny that he enjoyed the agony on the twisted face inches away from his own. He ripped the blade free of Voldermort's flesh and watched as the blackish blood streamed out, drenching his robes and pooling on the floor around his bare feet. He staggered back a few paces and fell to his knees, looking down at the blackness on his palms in disbelief. Rin was ready to drop the blades when he chuckled, the sound was so quiet he was sure only he could see it. Voldermort's expression disbelieving expression twisted into a sneer and he slowly looked up, meeting Rin's eye with an unreadable expression on his face.

"You still don't get it...you can't kill me...as long as I have my anchors... my Horcruxes...you can kill this body...but I will always come back!" he coughed a few times and black liquid trickled down his deformed lips. Rin let out a long, slow breath. Yes, he was right. He would keep coming back. What would happen if he managed to posess him? Satan was bad but circumstances and unbelievable luck had given them an opportunity. If he obtained his body he'd have all of his demonic attributes and would probably find a way back to his heart. This would happen again but there would be no easier way out, he would create more Horcruxes and continue...

He looked down at the other half of Kurikara in his hand, his earlier thoughts returning to him. He could end this, here and one final steadying breath and tightened his grip on Kurikara. He chuckled as he met the dying mans eye with a slight smile on his face.

"Not if I can help it." With those words he used all of his resolve and lifted Kurikara above his head. He watched understanding dissolve that frown on the dark wizards's face and stepped back, avoiding him as he made a wild attempt to knock the blade out of his hands. He saw someone running towards him from the corner of his vision but didn't look to see who It was incase it weakened his resolve. In all holesty, he was terrified, his hand gripping the blade shook violently but he swallowed, willing his pulse to slow. He sey0t his jaw quickly and, using every ounce of that resolve, he thrusted the broken blade into himself. The pain was excruciating but somehow he managed to stay standing. In a moment of insaity he wondered if the sword had gone deep enough and pushed it in further and copper filled his mouth. He opened his eyes again and locked eyes with Voldermort who's expression was of fear. He spat out the blood that flooded his mouth and felt the corner of his lips curl in success. I hope Yuki wil forgive me, I need to tell him. Maybe I can see Izumo again...

Rin twisted the knife he had just impailed himself with, he'd expected it to hurt a while lot more but it wasn't so bad. Maybe it was something to do with how the sword had contained his heart for so long? Maybe. He watched his own blood flow out from around the sword and pool on the floor. A fear crept over him like a sickness and he wondered where he would go after...after. The thought only lasted for the most fleeting of moments as he felt arms around him moments before his legs gave out and the blade impailing him was pulled lo ut with a sickening sound. Someone was lowering him to the ground with care and holding him a little to tightly. He caught a faint scent and a deep sadness set in like a brick, overshadowing the calm victory that had been there the moment he plunged that piece of Kurikara into Voldrmort and killed Satan for good. His strength slipped away from him quicker than he would have liked but with what was left he turned his head and found his twin, his beloved little brother, and forced a reasuring smile. He tried to ignore the tears streaming from his twins face or his disparing sobs and tugged at his jacket, trying to pull him to him. Yuki seemed to get the message and leaned down over him. Rin raised himself a few inches and met his brothers ear, needing to speak to him before the darkness that crept over him consumed him completely. He took a rugged breath and tried to keep his voice steady.

"I'm...s-orry Y-Yuk-ki..."

Gomennnnn! I left it at more or less the exac same point as the last chapter but if I write anymore I'm gunna get to 12k words and be like "aw crap, there's no natural stopping point T.T" but anyways. Did anyone suspect he would have had control for that long OR actuzlly be planning something with Harry? Idk if you noticex but I haven't written anything from Harry's pov for a few chapters (cackles meticulously)

Can you figure it out now? WHY Rin regained his conciousness when he did?

HINT

It has a lot to do with the specific time that he regained control and the reason has absolutely nothing to do with the ANE universe, it's 100% HP canon, Harry specifically but this paticulwr...occurrence...isn't referenced at that specific point in the movie, only the DH book. If you can figure it out lave it in a review and (incase it does take a while for me to update) I'll pm you if you got it right ; 3 If you figure it out and don't like it let mm e update before you be mean cause I do have an epic explaination planned (...already written haha, wrote it ages ago XD)

ANYWAYS, thank youuuu all for reviewing, following and reading. Let me know what you think in the reviews andI'll see ya next time (advanced apology for some epic ramble about con in the next chapter or the chapter after that, I get a lil carried away haha)

Until next time

Hope you enjoyed this chapter...sorry...just sorry... the last chapter wasn't actually supposed to be that sad (like I wasnt deliberately trying to jerk the tears) but hope this chapter wasn't a dissapointing 'explaination' hehe. Hehehe. nope. the vistable reaction was because Satamort (giggles) used Avada Kedavra, he says Rin will "feel" it because his heart is in the wand although that is a good conclusion hehe, but still wrong haha. let me know if you can figure out ^^

Kanade Night

Lmao, sowwy T.T I can't help it! I don't really know how else to end a chapter and make the next chappy seem interesting haha. #gasp#...um...bye...(runs and hides, now updating from a secret location) Yeah I wasn't very happy about not getting the reviews but I finished the chapter an hadn't had a review in a few days so I just uploaded it anyway cause you're right, it isn't fair (glares at other 100 followers who never review haha) I understand, I know it's a bit selfish but it kinda annoys me (yes this is very selfish) when i put hours and hours into each chapter an do loads of research an stuff an i almost always leave a review on every update I get and people don't do it for others (not just me haha) anyways. hope you enjoyed this chapter an tell me what you think:)
