Chapter 1! New Fanfiction!
The Exwires of True Cross Academy finally return home after a too-long-for-comfort trip to Head Quarters. They had just saved Rin Okumura, the son of Satan, from being executed after proving that he was unable to control his immense power during the exwire camping trip. However, even after the decision was made, Rin was quickly rushed to the infirmary with Yukio trailing close behind. None of them had seen the two brothers since.
"Do you think Rin will be okay?" Shiemi asks. Her head dropped and her fingers laced together over her chest. "Yeah," Bon answered, "there's no way that idiot would die after what happened."
Shiemi smiled shyly at the remark. Her heart ache finally coming to a stop. They all walked in silence. Their footsteps beating on the tiled surface of the school street that leads to the dorms. "So what's going to happen now?" Koneko asks, breaking the awkward silence.
"Don't know." Bon answers again, "Guess, we'll wait and see."
"I hope, Rin comes back to school tomorrow." Shiemi replies her smile never fading from her face.
No one says a word. Koneko looks at Shiemi in shock, his jaw dropping to the floor. How could she want that monster back? He thought.
The Next Day
The Exwires come to class preparing for the results. However, none came. Neither Yukio nor Rin showed up for class. Bon fists his hands and bangs them on the desk "What the hell is taking so long! They should be here by now."
Shima raises his hands, palms facing out in a defense position. "Calm down, Bon. I'm sure they just stopped because a really hot girl caught their attention. You know how Rin can be."
"I'm pretty sure Rin's not as perverted as you," Izumo announces.
"You know, Izumo, you can be pretty harsh sometimes. Besides I'm not a pervert, I'm just a guy."
"Perv."
Suddenly, the door creaks open. Slowly at first and then the door shoots across the room. Shura struts in, obviously angry at something. "What's up Ms. Shura," Shima asks.
She smashes her hand on the desk, making it tremble as well as scaring the crap out of most of the students. "Listen up!" She shouts, "You all will be getting rid of low level demons that stashed themselves inside the school. Hop to it."
"Wait!" Bon replies, "That's it? Seriously?"
"Just shut the hell up and do as you're told!"
"What about Okumura!?"
Shura's eyes drop to the desk, her hands folding into fists as she trembles with so many emotions she doesn't know which to release first. "I don't know. I haven't heard anything yet."
"Ah," Shima sighs, "so that's why you're so pissed off today."
Shura throws a piece of chalk and it nails Shima smack in the forehead. He falls back out of his chair in shock. Izumo laughs. While Bon and Koneko grabs his arms helping him up. "Anymore stupid questions?" Shura growls.
The Exwires hurry up out of the room, almost running over each other to get through the door before Shura has another mean streak. They run down the hall a few rooms before deciding to stop and check one of the classrooms for demons.
Days pass as they await the results, however still they were disappointed. But this didn't stop them from doing their jobs. "Why'd we get stuck doing this work?" Izumo inquires. Her hand brushing away a demon that landed on her shoulder.
"We're Exwires. Of course we get the grunt work." Bon answers as he brushes more and more small, fuzzy eyed demons from their hiding spot. He sighs to himself. He too felt that this was boring, not to mention he was still worried about Yukio and Rin. But then again, so were all of them. At the same time, would they want him back in class? How could they want the son of Satan to be back?
It's been 2 days since they started sweeping out the demons from the school. The work wasn't hard, but it took a lot of time. There had to be thousands of low level demons crawling all over the place. Each one having to be captured and then exorcised. It was pain-staking and the exwires were worn out.
"How many more rooms left in this building?" Koneko asks.
"Just two more." Shiemi answers enthusiastically.
"The real question is how many buildings are left in this school?" Shima smirks. His eyes tired from it all.
"Four more." Bon answers.
An in unison "Ugh" came from the group of young exorcists. All of their heads dropping at once. "This work is going to kill us!" Izumo mumbles.
"No kidding." Shima replies.
All of a sudden, the door to their room opens. And a face peaks around the side of the door. He grins and steps further into the room.
"Rin?" They call in unison.
"Hey guys!" Rin waves. His sword wrapped around his shoulder, looking as if nothing ever happened.
"Are you feeling okay, Rin?" Shiemi asks.
"Yeah I'm doing just fine."
"So, what happened?" Bon inquires.
"Nothing special really. I just came in here to –," he pauses and takes a deep breath. He bows in respect, "– to thank you, all of you."
The others look at him in shock. Some even drop their feather dusters creating a clang on the floor.
He stands up straight, chuckles and grins. He moves his hand and scratches the back of his neck, awkwardly. "Thanks you guys, for, you know, fixing my sword and helping me not get executed."
Yet another silence. Rin's arm drops from his neck and his deep blue eyes, which were once happy to see them all, turn sad and distant, "and good-bye."
Now everyone really drops their feather dusters. That was even a greater shock than the one before. Shiemi rushes to Rin and gives him a hug. "What do you mean by good-bye? You just got back!"
Tears start forming in Shiemi's eyes but she holds them back as best she can. Rin hugs her back for just a moment and then releases her. He steps back making sure that he is out of her grasp. "Well, you see, I kind of can't be in this class anymore."
"What?" Bon asks, "Why not?" His hands
"Because," he looks toward the window, his eyes becoming even more distant, "I'm not human."
"What does that got anything to do with it?"
"It's obvious I can't be trained like a human, and if I can't be trained as a human," Rin looks back at his classmates and sighs, "then I'll have to be trained like a demon."
"But that's insane! You're only half demon!"
"Yeah, but I'm that half is the son of Satan, the King of all demons. Besides, it's not like I was doing any good in this class, maybe this is better for me."
"How could you say that?" Bon shouts, "Don't you like being a part of our class?"
Bon steps closer to Rin. Hoping to put emphasis on his point. Rin's eyes meet his for a second and then Rin sighs. "More than you know."
His last statement rang in the air while everyone took in the current situation. Rin's eyes brim with tears, but he forces them back. Shiemi cries openly, while Bon, Shima, and Izumo stare wide eyed. Koneko, on the other hand, makes sure his eyes never meet Rin's by looking at his feet swinging from the desk that he's sitting on.
The silence breaks, suddenly, "I'm sorry." Rin mumbles, his tears starting to trickle down his face as he runs out the door and down the hallway. The other's rush to the door to watch his back slowly fading from view.
