Abel and Cain

Chapter 3

Man it’s been a while. I owe a lot of updates for various fanfics tbh.

“…..some first degree burns and several broken bones. Also she suffered from internal bleeding in the brain.” the doctor explains Shura’s condition to Mephisto who listens with a frown on his face as he observes Shura’s body closely.

A mere lower class or mid class demon wouldn’t inflict this level of damage. Heck even some of the S-Class demons would not harm a mere human to this extent unless…..

Those two idiots are in big trouble. Mephisto mutters. Rin meanwhile just stares at Shura’s corpse, his eyes losing whatever depth it once had. As weird as it sounded, the woman was like a mother to him and was one of the rare few that stood by him. Now she is gone and he bets that people would suspect him.

Izumo who was seated next to him still visibly shaken by what happened, eyes red and puffy from all the crying. He does not realize his body moving as he places a hand on his shoulder, startling the poor girl as she jumps up in fright.

“Hey watch it!!!” Izumo yelled. Rin simply stares blankly at her. That alone breaks her heart. Rin is no longer the cheerful boy he was used to be and it is obvious who is at fault here.

“I am not gonna pretend anymore Izumo. I am tired of not being who I am.” He says with a cold tone. She is shocked by the tone by which he spoke. “What do you mean?”

He sighed. Perhaps he can trust her with this. “Truth is Izumo, the Rin you guys have known for a while now is not the true me. The real Rin Okumura is a much darker and lonely soul.” He admits to her.

She simply glares at him, completely unfazed. She had always been suspicious of that because of that one time he talked down some bullies in school. “You know, I have always been suspicious of you and that brother of yours and now you have confirmed it.”

He simply nods, running his hand through his hair. “Bet you hate me even more.” It was then that Izumo does something very surprising and that is to smirk at him. “Well that makes both of us because I am not all that icy. Besides I kinda like you better this way as opposed to that fake persona you often put up even though it is kinda cute.”

She then stares down at Shura. “I bet whoever attacked her would return here. Probably to lure you out.”

“But what does not make sense is why Kirigakure and not someone much closer to Rin like that Moriyama girl?” Says Amaimon.

At the mention of Shiemi, Rin instantly flares up. “Never ever fucking mention her name again!!” He shouts, making everyone jump up in shock and fright.

Unfortunately, said girl was standing by the door with the remaining Exwires, all staring at him in stunned silence. Since when does Rin speak that way? At that moment, Shiemi breaks down in tears and just runs off.

“Why the hell did you have to speak that way Okumura?! Don’t you realize you have just hurt her feelings?!” Suguro yells.

Rin snorts. “Oh so she now has feelings huh?” He replied sarcastically, further stunning everyone in the room. Rin then looks up, shooting a terrifying death glare that made the other Exwires to shit in their pants. Might as well let them have it

“If she really had feelings she wouldn’t have turned on me after the truth about my heritage got out.” He says. Shina then says, “Hello your dad caused the Blue Night!!”

It was at this moment that Izumo acts. Getting up, she walks towards Shina and slaps him hard in the face. “HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO RIN THAT WAY?!! DO YOU ALL REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!!! NO ONE AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ASKED TO BE BORN TO WHATEVER FAMILY THEY ARE BORN INTO?!! SO THAT BLUE NIGHT SHIT AIN’T HIS FAULT?!!” She screams at the others.

Rin then says, “It’s no use arguing with riff raft like them Izumo. Let’s go.” With that, Izumo stomps past the others with Rin and his brothers following suit, Rin not bothering to spare a single glance at them. On his way out, he brushes past his twin, not even bothering to look at or acknowledge his presence, Yukio doing the same thing. Mephisto notices this but does not utter a word.

Once they are outside, Rin then tells Mephisto, “I will not be attending the funeral. In short, I do not want to be within the same vicinity as those bitches.”

Izumo then nods. “Might as well skip out on that too.” Rin then shows concern. “What about Paku?” The purple haired girl then says, “Will discuss with her. Still it is kind of well…awkward being there with them and all….”

Without hesitation, Rin then says, “She and Paku will come with us.” Izumo’s eyes widened in surprise. “A-Are you serious?!” She exclaimed. Mephisto simply chuckles. “I kinda agree with him. Besides, it’s best we avoid unnecessary drama. Still you kids go ahead. I, Astaroth and Amaimon have some important business to attend to. Roku will take you home.” With that he and the other Demon Kings head off. Izumo thinks for a moment before nodding. “Alright. Will tell Paku.”

Took me a while to update this. My bad. Things are getting interesting right?
