Chapter 1: Daze
The classroom was quiet as all of the students' attention was put on the person at the front of the room; left hand holding a book and his right holding a piece of chalk. He turned around to face his class and glared at the student in the front row with black hair; snoring away on his desk. "Okumura!" There was no response. The teacher snapped the book shut; a tick mark appearing at the side of his head as he threw the chalk at the sleeping teen in frustration.
That teen ... is me.
Well, was me.
As I blinked my eyes open and yawned. "W...Whaaat~?"
Blinking my eyes open as I lifted my head up off the desk; drool dripping out of the corner of my mouth. My gaze aimed at my younger twin brother; who was glaring daggers at me from behind his glasses. "You done with your little nap, Rin?"
"Uh ... I guess," I said, rubbing my head, sheepishly.
The younger of the two of us kept his glare aimed at me before turning away and continuing the lesson. I stared at my younger brother with shock on my face. I really did it. I was actually able to come back. I could finally stop it from happening. Though I know I would have to follow Mephisto's rules. Those words from the clown rush through my head like a racing bullet, 'When you go back in time you cannot say you are from the future or say of any events that happens in the future. You can do that if someone is in great peril.'
A large grin spread across my face and I started laughing.
Yukio blinked, turning back around to face me in shock. "Um ... you okay, Rin?" Yukio asked as the entire class seemed to look at me in the same wayl.
I only just continued to laugh; face contorted in bliss. "I've never been better!" I exclaimed. "I've done it! I've actually done it!"
Yukio blinked as he stared at me in confusion. The blond girl, sitting beside me also looked just as confused as my brother; tilting her head to the side a bit. "You did what, Rin?"
"I am so lost right now," Another voice said at the back of the room sounded.
"I think he's finally lost it," Another voice said; shaking their head, irritably.
Before anyone could say anything else; Yukio clapped his hands together to stop anymore noise and approached my hysterical form; putting his hands on my shoulders to try and calm me down. "Rin? Calm down. What do you mean?" I could feel his brother's hands on my shoulders. It actually felt quite calming; it was allowing me to take slow, shaky breathes. I hadn't felt like this since ... before it had happened. My nerves are going nuts. I...I'm so happy right now that I ... need to...!
"Nothing! It's nothing!" I said, waving my hands about nervously. I looked around and saw everyone's eyes on me. I could tell from their expressions that they were all just as confused and concerned for me as Yukio was, but I couldn't say anything about what was wrong with me. "I should go!" Before anyone could stop my retreating form, I ran out of the classroom.
I ran out into the hallway, closing the door behind me and leant against it with laboured breathes. I had done it. Mephisto had allowed me to come back here; to a point in time to before everything went wrong. I could change it; stop everything from going wrong. I just had to follow Mephisto's rules and I'd be good.
Right?
I couldn't allow ... that to happen...
Not again.
I shook my head to stop thinking about it. I couldn't tell anyone that I was from the future. If I did ... who knows what would happen? Mephisto's rules were simple. Don't tell anyone of the events of the future and don't say you're from future. That was easy enough for me, right? I just had to make sure that I followed them to a T. Hopefully I would remember them.
I took several deep breathes to calm himself down a little more before finally deciding to head back into the classroom. It had gone quiet after my little outburst and everyone was looking at me in concern; especially Yukio. "Are you sure you're okay, Rin?"
"Yeah," I said, sitting back down at my desk and giving my brother a smile. "I'm fine."
My younger twin blinked at my response before sighing to himself and turning back around to face the board. "Okay, then..." I watched my brother with that smile still plastered across my face. I could stop what happened from happening. I know I can do it. I know that I'm an exwire in this time, but in my time ... I'm a skilled exorcist. Well, that's the whole point of me keeping this whole future thing 'hush hush'. They don't need to know that, especially not Yukio.
Yukio prattled on about the weaknesses of certain demons for the next half hour; keeping his eyes on me every so often to make sure that I was alright. I just ended up giving Yukio a smile and a quick wave to show him that I was alright and Yukio would just turn back around to face the board. When class was over, I yawned and stood up from the desk. Yukio looked at him, and a grin grew across my face.
"That little freak-out of yours was entertaining to say the least, but do you want to talk about what's bothering you?" Yukio asked me, concern in his voice.
"No, not really." I looked down; my fringe covering my eyes as I looked away from my brother. "I can't really tell you."
Yukio blinked at my response towards him, sighing he just gave me a warm smile in return. "Alright; but just know that if you want to talk you've got me." After saying that he walked past me; not noticing the solemn gaze in my eyes after he had said those words.
"Yea, sure…" I muttered to myself before heading out the door of the classroom as well. I walked down the long hallway and took out my key, deciding to pay a visit to a certain clown. I jammed the key into a door and opened it to reveal the regular school hallway; I took the key out and walked up a few flights of stairs before coming to two white double doors with purple trimmings.
I pushed the doors open and saw the man with purple hair in his usual white suit; eating from a cup of noodles in his oak brown office. The man looked up from his noodles; lime green eyes gazing at me with anticipation as I walked in completely; closing the door behind me. Mephisto slurped in what he had in his mouth, swallowed and let a large fanged grin spread over his face. "Ah! Rin Okumura, what can I do you for today~! Mephisto exclaimed in his usual perky attitude. He grabbed his wallet and pulled out a two thousand yen note. "Are you here for your allowance~?"
"No," I said, shaking my head at what Mephisto had asked. "I wanted to talk to you about something; time travel."
Mephisto blinked in surprise and put the note away before suddenly gaining a serious expression on his face; his hands clasped together. He eyed me as if scanning my form with his green eyes. "Why are you asking me about this?"
"Because it worked! Your future-self sent me back! Now I can save..."
I clasped my hands over my mouth; remembering Mephisto's words once more. I was about to spill. I may have nearly spilled to Mephisto's past self, but that still counted, didn't it? Could I even tell Mephisto about this? Idiot!
A chuckle came from Mephisto as I looked to the smug smirk on the headmaster's face. I've always hated that damn smirk of his. "I knew you were coming; the fact that you were coming from the future that is."
"Would it be okay to tell you then?"
"What were the rules I gave you?" Mephisto asked me, waving a finger about. I swallowed and knew that what Mephisto was saying was that I couldn't even talk to him about this.
I was alone on this.
I had to do this on my own.
It's why I came back after all.
It was my mission.
My choice.
"How did you know I was coming?" I asked; eyes wide and shock clearly written on my face.
A grin spread across Mephisto's face as he spread his arms wide. "Why, my dear Okumura, surely if you're from the future you would know by now who I am~!" I blinked and then slapped a hand to my forehead. How could I forget who Mephisto was? That's how he was able to send me back. Mephisto was the Demon King of time.
"Oh yeah ... anyway, can you give me some advice on what to do?"
"Advice?" Mephisto asked as he gazed at me with his green eyes. "Aren't you here to stop a certain event from happening?" I nodded my head at Mephisto. "Well, then keep up the act that you are the Rin from this time. When the time comes..." He chuckled at his little joke and I just glared at him. "...you'll be able to help by using what you know in the future. But right now ... lay low. Don't show that you know more than what you would've known now."
This was meant to be an Rp between me and TheChuckinator, but he quit when we were halfway through chapter two; so I'm gonna have to complete it myself. I'm using what we did so far, but after that it's all me. If anyone has ANY ideas on what I can add to this, please, leave a comment. It'd be very appreciated.
NOTE: I changed this to be in Rin's POV because I was doing POV's for my Noragami and Blue Exorcist Crossover I've gotten used to it. Also it feels more fluent if it's coming from Rin's head and not third person.
D0A OUT!
