Rejection

A/N: I don't own Ao no Exorcist. This is a rewrite, sorta. Same story, just more words, and better wording. Hopefully.

"Dammit…" azure eyes filled with tears. "why does this always happen to me?"

Rin Okumura slumped down on his dorm bed, further messing up the already messy bedclothes. He runs his hand through his already tousled black hair. Yet again, Rin had been rejected by his classmates.

He feels a slight shift in the mattress and looks at his familiar Kuro. He glances over at the cat Sidhe. ( A/N: I don't know which to use, I have seen it spelled Sidhe and Sith. I prefer Sidhe, it looks cooler and doesn't make me think of Star Wars.)

"I can't help that I am different! I never asked to be like this! This is who I am!" he sighed, letting his hand drop.

Kuro, noticing Rin's usually smiling face was saddened, nudged Rin's hand.

"Rin, Shiro always told me that humans fear what they don't understand. Maybe the others are afraid…" The familiar said, rubbing against his hand.

"THAT'S WHY I AM UPSET! I HAVE NEVER HAD FRIENDS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRIAD OF ME!" Rin shouts, throwing his pillow across the room, knocking over the desk lamp.

"I just want to be normal…. To have friends…. To not have to worry about hurting them… Hell, I would settle for just a person who says hi in passing…" Rin sighed again, burying his head in his knees.

"Hey, Kuro? Did I ever tell you about my childhood?" he asks, words slightly muffled.

"No, not yet… I wanna hear!" Kuro says, nudging him again.

Rin uncurled from his position, crossing his legs so Kuro could climb in his lap, and Kuro wasted no time jumping in his lap, waiting expectantly.

Rin starts scratching Kuro's ears as he begins his story.
