Please read the note at the end, it has important information about the stories future.

Disclaimer in chapter 1

Hadrian woke when he heard Rin's yelling. Groaning in annoyance, he pulled the covers up over his head in an attempt to block out the growing headache. More voices were heard talking until there was a hand gently pulling away the blanket and moving him into a sitting position.

Blinking his eyes open, squinting against the light, he focused on Suguro, who had a cup of water and two pills in his hand.

"Arigato, Suguro-san." He muttered as he downed the pills and water. "What happened after I passed out?"

They told him everything. Apparently the entire fight was a test (which Harry didn't buy for a second, he had broke his spine when he hit the wall. It healed but still.) and the demon they fought was controlled by a tamer.

Konekomaru turned to Rin, "By the way, Okumura-kun, how did you defeat that ghoul?"

"Huh? Oh, that…" He looked embarrassed. "Well, I… uh… Shoved this into him…" He pointed to his sword.

"Really? That's amazing. You have the potential to be a knight, then!"

Suguro looked skeptical. "What do you mean, you shoved that into him? Could you be any more vague? If you ask me, there's no bigger enigma than you." He muttered.

"Well, what can I say? I may not look it, but i'm full of mistakes!" He gave them a proud smile.

"What the… Did you say 'mistake'?"

"Mis-tell! Mis-chil!"

"It's 'mysterious,' dumbass!"

Hadrian snorted and hid his face in his hands. You're so weak. What are you talking about? Nothing… you'll realize it later.

Hadrian was allowed to head back to his dorm the next day, much sooner than Madam Pomfrey would have. He did his homework(1) and made his bed, de-activating his glamors (they were uncomfortable) setting down for sleep.

He was woken an hour or two later by a knock on his door. Activating his glamors and opening it, he saw Rin's older brother and Shiemi.

"Okumura-sensei, Moriyama-san. What's wrong?"

"We have a few suspicions and want to make sure they're true, would it be alright if we moved my Onii-san in here for the night?"

He blinked twice. "Yeah… sure."

Okumura smiled. "Thank you. I'm afraid I'll have to carry him, he's a heavy sleeper."

"Let me." Hadrian stepped forward. "My old sensei had a hell of a training schedule, so I can lift some pretty heavy weights." Plus my demon strength, which he pointedly doesn't say.

"Help would be nice." He followed the other down the stairs to his room and walked over to Rin. He took notice of the bundled up, cocoon like state he was in and decided not to bother with unwrapping him. He just leaned over and picked the blue haired boy up.

Okumura threw Rin's sword over his back. "If you could take him to your room, that would be great. I need to set something up here, so I won't be able to follow."

Hadrian nodded and left with the spent the trip trying to figure out why looking at the blue haired boy in his arms made his face flush. So. Oblivious.

He arrived back at his room and dumped him on the spare bed, placing the sword on the end. He knew he wasn't going to get any sleep tonight so he pulled Unfogging the Future from his trunk and settled down. The book was good for it's ridiculous descriptions. Seriously, A dream about riding a moonbeam during the waxing crescent while dolphins jump around you apparently means you will faint luxuriously into your crushes arms. The entire book feels like it's on drugs.

It was two hours later when Rin woke up.

"Rin!"

He shot up and stared at her in shock. "Sh-Shiemi! What are you doing here? Don't tell me you snuck in to visit me!"

She shushed him. "Since you wouldn't wake up, Yuki-chan moved you to another room"

"My room, to be specific." Hadrian added, not looking up from his passage on green sparkles and rock-eating bears.

"Yuki-chan told me not to wake you up, but…" Their attention was drawn to the sound of two gunshots. Hadrian immediately stood, staring in the direction they came from. As more gunshots were heard, Rin grabbed his sword and took off out of the room. The demon-wizard cursed, quickly moving to his trunk and pulling his weapons out. He and Shiemi exited the room, his pace slowed to accommodate her, not wanting to leave her alone incase they ran into trouble along the way. When they almost made it to the top, they ran across a man with his arm cut up walking down.

"Yuki-chan? Rin?" Shiemi called, before taking in the figure and gasping in shock. "Noihaus-sensei! You're hurt…?"

"Leave me alone." Hadrian glared at him as he passed. He got an odd feeling about this guy. They continued up until they reached the roof door. He threw it open and looked out to see the Okumura brothers.

"Yuki-chan! Rin!"

"Shiemi-san…"

"R-Rin, what's the matter?" Hadrian's eyes narrowed in on his blood stained shirt. (A/N: dude if you were paying attentions you would have seen his tail!)

"Oh!" He exclaimed, quickly messing with something behind him. "Uh… I'm fine."

"That's a ghoul Temptaint! We've got to treat it right away!"

"No, no, I'm totally cool!"

"You're not! All right, lie down here! Don't push yourself too hard!" She was kneeling on the ground, indicating the spot in front of her. "Never mind, just lie down! Nee-chan, can you bring out some Sancho-san again?"

Hadrian stepped up behind Rin and laid a hand on on his shoulder. "You better do what she says, 'cause no healer would let their patient go without proper care and they're all stubborn as hell."

Rin finally acquiesced with a bit of grumbling and Shiemi put some aloe on the wound. Hadrian sat by the boys head and watched them.

"Hey, thanks." Rin told her. "I think I'm starting to feel better now." He looked at her face and paused, Hadrian turned to her too and saw she had tears in her eyes.

She gave the stubborn boy a determined look. "Rin, I've made up my mind!" The boy sat up. "I've decided."

"Okay, about what?" She turned and nodded to Okumura-Sensei.

"I guess I'm no match for him, after all…" Hadrian heard him mutter.

"Eins, zwei, drei! Congratulations to you for being promoted to ExWire!" The next day found them being congratulated by the extravagant Director himself. The class, (or, well, some of them) exclaimed in happiness for finally becoming Exorcist candidates.

The odd demon laughed. "Now then, to celebrate your promotion I shall treat you to a feast of monja!" Hadrian shook his head and ignored his classmates complaining. They were getting free food, for Gahenna's sake. Hell. Now I'm talking like you. Good, I'll make a demon out of you yet!

The class sat at a table, with Hadrian sitting across from Rin on the end.

"You, an exorcist, huh?" Rin asked Shiemi.

"Yup! I'm going to help out everyone!" She told them proudly.

"Hmph, can you fight, though?"

She gave him a peeved look. "I-I'll do my best!"

"I think, you'll do amazing Shiemi-chan." Hadrian told her, giving the other boy a mock glare. Rin stuck his tongue out in response.

Shiemi smiled at him. "Thank you, Ria-kun!" He was taken aback, but smiled. Maybe this time, he can have real friends.

-Ep 10-

Hadrian was Hanging out in the only other occupied room in the dorm with Yukio (he now knew his first name). The heat was unbearable and the building didn't have an air conditioning unit of any kind.

They both looked up when Rin returned.

"Welcome back." Yukio called over.

"I thought you'd melted, what took you?"

"Everything was sold out at that shop there, so I had to go to the other side!" he flopped into his chair. "Jeez, I can't believe how hot this room is. It's a school for rich kids- at least give us an AC, right?"

"My room is worse. Heat rises and I'm a floor above you two."

"This place is really old, so it can't be helped. Anyway, it's not like you and I grew up with air conditioning, so having a fan should be sufficient."

"Talk for yourselves, I'm used to the cold, living in a drafty castle in the scottish highlands during the winter. It's the heat I can't stand." The cupboard he grew up in was also very cold, especially in the winter.

"Never mind that, Emrys-san. Nii-san, where's my mineral water?"

Rin gave him a sheepish look. "Oh, crap I forgot!" Hadrian tried not to laugh at the look the younger twin gave the older as he continued. "You know how easy it is to overlook water. It being transparent… Wanna have one of my Gori-gori-kun?" He held up a popsicle.

"I'll take one." Rin handed it over to Hadrian, who used it as a distraction so he didn't break down at the look Yukio was giving his brother.

"You got yourself two of those things?" He deadpanned. Hadrian snorted. "Never mind. I'll go get it myself later on."

"Jeez, what's his problem?"

"It's probably 'cause it's hot and you forgot his water?" The wizard suggested. He shrugged.

It was later on when Rin broke the silence again.

"Oh, man… What a drag, having to spend a Sunday afternoon on assignments and homework! After all I went through to make it to ExWire, this is no different than being a page!" He held up a book. " And according to this, ExWire's just a bottom-feeder!"

"Yes, Rin-chan, "He didn't look up from where he was doing his transfiguration work. "You need to work your way up from the bottom, it's a fact of life."

The blue haired boy gave him a small glare before turning back to his brother. "So where are you on this thing?"

Yukio looked over. "Intermediate Exorcist First Class."

He looked at the book. "That's it? So you're no hotshot either!"

"I don't want to hear that from you."

Hadrian stood and looked at the book from over Rin's shoulder "Ka-san was a Senior class." He pointed out the rank in the book. "She had earned it before her death. I want to reach that class, at least."

"What the hell does it take to make it to this Paladin thing at the very top?" They didn't ask about his mom. By this point, everyone knew that he kept his past on a tight leash and any information given is a show of trust. "Man, I can't wait to go on missions and get some real hands-on experience!"

"The rank of Paladin is only awarded to a single exorcist." They both turn to Yukio in shock.

'They don't give it to just anyone, you know. And in the first place, we're not sending you on any missions for the time being. You're always disregarding orders and acting like a loose cannon, not to mention that you can't even seem to run simple errands at your age. Can you blame us?"

"What the hell? I said I was sorry!"

"It's not just that. The way you fight- you rely too much on-" He suddenly stopped and turned to Hadrian as if just remembering he was in the room. He gathered his bearings and continued. Damn. I could have learned what his powers were! Be patient, young padawan. When did you have time to watch that shit. You were doing a lot of paperwork last summer."You shouldn't be so quick to reach for your sword. And nevermind how fast you heal, you need to stop using yourself as a shield when you run out of options!" Rin put a hand over his stomach and Hadrian had the sudden desire to pull up his shirt to check for wounds. "If you don't stop with those antics… His power will consume you completely."

"W-What the hell! Who gives a damn, everyone was saved, right? Don't lecture me like that old fart! You forgetting that you nearly got wasted, too?"

"I'm saying this to help you out, Nii-san. I'm speaking for To-san! I can just see him turning over in his grave right now, over you!"

"Huh! Like that old fart(2) was ever that sensitive!"

Hadrian had the strangest feeling he was intruding on something private, but leaving would only make things awkward.

"Calling him 'old fart'... how long are you going to act like a rebellious teenager? Isn't it about time you grew up?"

Rin stood. "How about you? How long are you gonna act like a bigshot grownup? Just 'cause you're a smartypants, don't get carried away cause Shiemi's crushing on you!"

Oh dear… so this is an interest of girls? He very carefully ignores the hurt feeling in his heart as he tries to drown them out with some potions work.

"Why are you bringing up Shiemi all of a sudden? And anyay, Shiemi's not crushing on me, and I'm not carried away!" Mmm, yes this is a very interesting potion indeed...

"Oh yes she is, Four Eyes! What, you can't see that, even with those glasses on? You're a real moron, Four Eyes!" Yeah, how it's made with… with dragon liver and… um...

"Moron?" Yukio says quietly. Hadrian was silently trying to hide his face in his book by this point. This is better than one of Ragnarok's Soap Opera's. … He watches soap opera's? "Who are you to talk, when you can't even run an errand properly at your age?"

"Jeez… you're still moaning about that? Get over it!" Hadrian has become one with the book. They will never be separated again.

"It's the same as your fighting methods. You rely on sheer power because you have no knowledge or skills! Try using your head more!"

"What did you say? Damned Four Eyes…!" He didn't know what happened, but when he peeked his head out of the book, he saw the two brothers staring at each other in shock and Yukio's glasses broken on his head. Ri… Calm down. He slowed his breathing, not realizing when it had picked up. Had he been starting to have a panic attack? He heard Rin start laughing, but he was more focussed on Fodi's voice and his own breathing to hear what was being said. He looked over when Yukio's phone rang.

"Hai, this is Okumura. (pause) Right, I'm on my way right now."

"Hey, a mission?"

"It has nothing to do with you." He opened one of his desk drawers, which apparently had a ton of spare glasses within (Must break a lot as an exorcist.) and pulled a new pair out. He stood, grabbed his uniform and a container of some sort and started out of the room, stopping at the sight of Hadrian. "I am sorry you had to see that, Emrys-san."

He blinked. "It's… Alright." The two brothers darted out of the room, leaving Hadrian alone to think on this new information for the rest of the night.

…

"You're not going to just let them walk off and not follow them, are you?"

"Hell no!" He quickly stood, grabbed his invisibility cloak and threw it on, running out of the room after them. He followed at a safe distance as they walked through the streets and into a taped off area, jumping the tape, careful not to disturb it as he followed.

"Kuro, the Cat Sidhe guarding the South Rear Gate, has gone berserk." An exorcist explains to them as they run to the scene. Hadrian absentmindedly puts a silencing charm on himself so he didn't make any noise. "Currently, we're sealing off the area within one km of the rear gate road." They exited the tunnel and were greeted by the sight of and oversized cat standing on a group of signs in the middle of the road. He had white paws and stomach and a gray face. The most notable thing about him, however, were the two tails and two horn-like protrusions between his ears. He was hissing and spitting at every exorcist in the area.

"Liars!" Both Hadrian and Rin started. "You're all liars!"

"Are you alright? What happened?" Hadrian and Rin turned to Yukio, who was talking to one of the guards.

"Kuro suddenly blew up in size and attacked us. We accidentally let slip that Father Fujimoto passed away. I think he overheard us."

"I'm sorry." The other guard said. "Ano… what's gonna happen to Kuro?"

"Don't worry. We exorcists will take him down." Yukio told him.

"Take him down…"

"What are you talking about?" Rin asked, more for confirmation than anything else. Hadrian knew what he meant, and he was pretty sure Rin did as well. "What does this have to do with the old man's death?"

"That cat…" They turned to Kuro. "That Cat Sidhe is To-san's Familiar."

"The old man's…?" Rin asked in shock. "What's a Cat Sidhe?"

"A demon that possesses cats." His younger brother told him. "The ones in Japan are unique for developing that split tail you see there, if they've lived long enough. That Cat Sidhe was revered for centuries in a part of the county as the protective deity of silkworms. For protecting the silkworms from mice, or natural disasters, he was worshipped at a local shrine, and co-existed with humans. But as times changed, and silkworm breeding gradually died out, the people came to forget about their protective deity. And then-Having lost his home-He became a demon…" The exorcists began shooting tranquilizers at the demon cat, but it only served to make him angrier. He Jumped down from the sign and shook the darts off.

"Now!" One of the exorcists called. Another on a truck stood and threw a holy water grenade at him, but it didn't do anything. He just turned his angry look on her.

"It's no good! It's not working!" She quickly jumped off the truck as the cat bowled into it, knocking it over.

"Liars! You're all liars! Liars!" The cat was screaming. He charged the line of exorcists, knocking two over with his tails. Two others threw more holy water at him, to no effect.

"Are you alright?" Yukio asked as the two brothers (and one hidden wizard) advanced.

"Okumura-kun!" One of the exorcists exclaimed.

"We've tried holy water, holy silver, holy wine," a female told him. "Holy pharmaceuticals- all to no avail!"

"Since we haven't figured out that Cat Sidhe's Fatal Verse yet, we can't use an Aria. We've dosed him with tranquilizers, so he's weakened somewhat, but i'm sure he'll recover quickly.

"Did Father Fujimoto ever tell you anything about Kuro?" The first asked.

"You participated in that mission that day, didn't you, Yukio-kun?"

"Hai."

"That day?"

"Back when Yukio was still an ExWire. A series of bizarre phenomena occurred on a construction site in a certain village. Fearing that it was a curse, the locals called in several shamans, but none of the shamans were a match for the Cat Sidhe, and the situation became hopeless. Clutching at straws, as a last resort they turned to the Knights of the True Cross. The man chosen to annihilate the god-turned-demon was the Paladin, Father Fujimoto. I was stunned by his ability to resolve the situation without spilling a single drop of blood." Their dad was a Paladin? Yeah, he was Paladin when Fire-Lily was promoted to Senior class.

"I had no idea there was such a backstory…"

"Afterwards, To-san named him 'Kuro' and put him under contract, to serve as gatekeeper of the academy." Yukio finished.

"But the fact is, he's a demon after all. Once he loses his master, he reverts to his wild state, I guess."

Yukio held up the container he grabbed before leaving his room. "My father prepared for this contingency. And kept this at hand." He opened the top. "It appears to be a modified hand grenade, most likely filled with a medicine that will kill Kuro." Both Rin and Hadrian (silenced) gasped.

"We're saved." The first exorcist sighed in relief.

"But since the power and nature of this device are incalculable," He continued, "will you trust me to handle it alone?"

"Liars!" The Cat Sidhe called again. "Liars! Shiro is the most powerful one of all!"

"No backup?" The female exorcist asked.

"All I have to do is throw and him with it, so I'll be fine alone."

"Alright, then I'll evacuate the others, just in case. You're all to retreat to the rear gate!" He called. The exorcists retreated, leaving Hadrian, Yukio and Rin alone.

"Shiro would never die! Shiro will come back! He's coming back!" The demon cat's words started to sound more like a plea by the end.

Rin gained a look of understanding. "I see…"

"Nii-san! You'd better step back, too. Since the medicine might be effective on you, too." Well that's curious.

"Are you… gonna kill him?"

"That's right. Right now, there's no exorcist in this school who can tame a demon of that class. Now that he's like that, our only option is to kill him."

Kuro banged one of his tails upon the ground, saying with conviction, "Shiro's coming back! And until he does, I'm not dying either!"

"Step back now, Nii-san."

"Hold up!" He took a step forward.

"What?"

"I think he's just sad. Don't you think killing him is going overboard?"

Yukio gave his brother a calculating look. "How do you know that?"

Rin took a second to think. "I don't know how I know, but… see… It's kind of like demon-to-demon telepathy or something." I knew it. Oh dear. I fucking knew it. Here we go. He has the teeth and ears and he always looks uncomfortable and is shifting like there's something wrapped around his waist and I KNEW IT! I will leave you.

Yukio gave Rin a look before turning back to Kuro. "Even if it is we can't just leave him like this."

"Then let me talk some sense into him before you kill him!" Rin blew up at his brother.

"Talk some sense…?" Yukio gave the other a hard look.

"Don't worry, I won't draw my sword!" He said confidently. "Just like you said…" He gave his brother a cheeky thumbs up. "I won't rely on Satan, and will fight him by using my head!" Ah… daddy Satan, then. Never… say that again. Please. Yukio stared at his brother in shock as he walked forward, towards the Cat Sidhe.

"Hey!" He called out. My stupid idea alarm is going off. When did you get one of those? Your father, I had to edit it slightly because most of your stupid ideas work. Wha- Hey!

"Nii-san?" Yukio said in alarm.

"I'm Okumura Rin! I'm Shiro's son!"

"Shiro's…?" The cat said in shock.

"Shiro's dead." Rin stated.

"Nii-san!" Yukio said more urgently and Hadrian had half a mind to drag the idiot away too.

"He's dead."

The demon cat gained a look of shock before it quickly turned to anger.

"That's a lie! I Don't believe you!"

"He's dead!" Rin called again, with more force this time.

"Liar! Don't lie to me!" The cat roared and charged at the elder Okumura. He's not… I do believe he is, Ri… He stood his ground and headbutt the cat causing the demon the fall over. He did say he would use his head. That's not how you're supposed to use that…

Rin's nose began to bleed but he quickly wiped it away, stepping forward.

"Listen, you… You really loved my dad, didn't you?" He said quietly, so the exorcists couldn't hear him. "So you were just sad. That's all, right?" Kuro stood, slowly. "I'm the same as you…" He held his right hand out to the demon cat. "Let's make up, okay?"

"Shiro…" Kuro's eyes began to water. "Shiro…" His voice became more and more distressed as his eyes filled with tears. "So I'll never see you again, then? Shiro…" The tears began to spill over and Hadrian's heart broke a little as he listened to the little cat cry out for a man he could never see again. Rin was staring at him in shock, his hand lowering ast the cat shrunk to his smaller size and continued to wail his sorrows for all to hear. "So you're dead?"

It took awhile to calm the cat demon back down, and when he was, he clung to Rin like he was his last hope. When the twins prepared to return to the dorms, Hadrian started to head back ahead of them. Now that the sad part was over, he was gushing about his new discovery, and wondering if he can use the demon-to-demon telepathy to talk to Rin. Fodi finally got fed up with him and left the secrecy of the invisibility cloak and finding her own way home.

Rin held Kuro as he and Yukio walked out of the gate. They both looked up in shock when they saw a bat take to the sky, as it was only sundown, way too early for them to be out.

Hadrian returned later to try and find Fodi after removing his work from the Okumura's room and bringing it back to his. The two brothers were outside the gate with Kuro. He heard a bit of the conversation (and learning that the poison was actually Silver Vine Sake) before walking up to them.

"Hey!"

The two looked to him.

"Hey Ria-kun." Rin said. "Look, I'm sorry you had to see that earlier-"

He waved him off. "No, it's cool. My two best friends used to fight all the time until I found out they were using me and left." He kneeled down next to Kuro and scratched him under his chin, gaining an appreciatory pur for his efforts. "Cute cat."

"Ah! This is Kuro, my familiar."

"Hi!"

"Hello Kuro." He stood and turned to the two brothers. "Have you seen a-" He was cut off when a tiny missile hit him in the face, knocking him over onto his back. Upon closer inspection, the projectile can be seen as a little fluffy black and white bat.

"You know." Hadrian deadpanned. "This seems awfully familiar. Sort of like the first time we've met."

"Hey, I'm normal sized this time." Fodi told him matter-of-factly.

"At least you didn't crush me this time." he stood up.

"OI! Are you callin' me fat!?" The little bat flew to his hand and bit him. He didn't dignify that with a response.

"You flew off, I thought I lost you."

"You were to busy going on and on about your findings to notice me leaving." She climbed up to his head, lifting a wing and pointing it towards the dorm. "Home we go. If you finish your work then maybe we can go out and go flying. We haven't gone flying in forever and I'm getting antsy. Chop chop!" She thumped her foot on his head to emphasize her point.

He turned to the Okumura brothers with a smile. "Sorry, I've gotta take Daffodil home. I'll see you later." He turned and left.

Hadrian slowly opened the door to the roof of the dorm and stepped out, only to pause when he saw Rin sitting on the edge of the roof with his tail in plain view. He debated on what to do, before taking 'Fuck it' as his best course of action and walking over. Sitting down next to him.

Rin startled. "R-Ria-kun! I-I… Umm." He quickly went to hide his tail but froze when Hadrian moved his left hand to the bracelet on his right and flicked something on it. Rin watched in shock as, like water was running off Hadrian's skin, Elongated ears and teeth came into view, a tail swishing behind him. Neither of them spoke before Hadrian stood and stepped to the edge of the roof. He peeked back to Rin, and then stepped off.

"Ria-kun!" Rin shouted, but before he could move to the edge of the roof, the other appeared in front of him.

Hadrian looked different. His ears were longer, and his teeth sharper, as well as his nails. The sclera of his eyes were now black, the pupils like a cats. He was hovering off the side of the building, rising and falling with the beats of large, greyish-black wings. Black smoke rose from different parts of his body, Most notably the end of his tail and the place his horns would be, if he had them. He gave the startled half demon a shit-eating grin before taking to the sky.

"Wait for me, you idiot!" Fodi called as she took off after him. They spent an hour in the air, stretching their wings before he landed back on the roof next to Rin. He slid to the ground next to the startled boy, giving his wings one last stretch before pulling the cap out of his pocket and slowly putting it back on the tooth upon his choker, leaving him behind with only the ears, teeth and tail. The two sat in silence for a bit longer.

"Are… you like me?" He turned to Rin, who was giving him a hopeful look. "Are you a half demon, I mean."

He turned to stare at the sky. "No." He told him. "I'm not a half demon. Technically, I shouldn't be a demon at all, with how diluted the blood is." He leaned back onto his hands. "Centuries ago, before humans really began to pick up and grow civilizations and religions, there were nine demon kings. Not eight. The final one was the Demon King of Shadows. I don't know what happened exactly. Most of the information I have I received when I took demon form, but I got the gist of it. Long, long ago, when the demon kings had first taken power, there was a group of demons who did not want Satan and his children to be in charge. The group of rebels fought them and eventually cornered the Shadow King. He was strong, but the sheer number of enemies overwhelmed him. He knew something like this might happen, so before his death he put his contingency plan into place. He went to Assiah and got a human female pregnant. He put in a clause that the child had to be certain strength, strong enough to survive demons, to gain his power. The child he had did not fit the requirements and he was killed soon after the boy's birth. The boy grew up and had a child, but that child didn't fit it either. It wasn't until centuries later when a child fit at least a part of that requirement." He Paused and gave a wistful smile.

"That child was my mother." Rin stared at him in shock.

"My mother was the first child in my family to have a special energy, and that energy made her stronger. Stronger, but not strong enough for the full power. She looked as I do now, With very little control over the shadows, but she didn't let that stop her. When she turned sixteen and came into her demonic inheritance, gaining the knowledge of our ancestor she went off in search of as much information as she could get on demons, even going so far as to become an exorcist, all incase she had a child strong enough to gain the full powers.

"You see, the special energy my mother had was called 'Magic'. If you could think it, magic could do it. Witches and wizards are real. They wave wands, fly on brooms, brew potions and even wear those silly pointy hats. She married my dad and eventually had me. When I was born, they knew my mom's plan was the right one. I was born fully demon, wings and all. (I don't want to know what giving birth to that was like). To protect me they took me to the goblins, the creatures that run the finances of the wizarding world, to have my powers sealed away. Not long after that they had to go into hiding because of a prophesy. On the halloween after I turned one, The Dark Lord, who had been attempting to take over the wizarding world while my mother was at school, attacked. He killed my father, moving up the stairs and entered my nursery. He attempted to get my mother to move, he gave her a chance-why, I do not know- before killing her as well. When he turned his wand on me, the spell backfired, killing him instead. He's still out there, living as a wraith, but he can't find me here. After that I was put with my abusive family for the next nine years of my life before going to Hogwarts when I was Eleven."

He stopped and turned to Rin, giving him an open, honest smile. "I know your father is Satan, and I know you can't control your powers all that well, so I decided to tell you my story to even the score."

Rin stared at him for a bit before asking, "Why didn't Mephisto tell me about you?"

"He doesn't know." A shocked look. "Demons can tell who is a demon and who's not by their energy, they can sense them. Magic is very potent, it overwhelms the senses connected to that person. My magic overwhelms my demon so when other demons sense me, all they see is my magic. It's a nifty little trick, and what's better is when I finally learn how to sense others I won't have that issue, having been born in a magical environment."
