The class sits on the floor in a semi circle together, leaving the other half of the circle for their teacher and the boy who claimed to be his brother. Whom sat down not long after.

I kept my gaze to the floor, terrified to meet the other teenagers gazes. I can feel the tension in the air.. So think you could cut it with a knife.. I think to myself. I stayed silent as if i did for long enough they would forget I'm here. Keep my eyes on the floor and dont say a word.. Like what Satan told me.. Sadly that didn't work, a student with pink hair spoke up. "W-whats your name again..?" I let out a heavy breath i didnt know i had held in.. "Rin Okumura.. You can just call me Rin if you'ed like.." I said while staring at my now shaking hands.. "Sensei said you killed yourself.. Then how are you here.." The small boy on the other side of the circle asked. I hold my satchel full of belongings close to my chest. "I- uh.. I just ran away from home and the police just assumed i was dead.." I could feel my hands shaking at this point.. What if they figured out im lieing.. The one with strange eyebrows speaks up. "So why did you come running back.." "Many personal reasons.."I said with a shake of my head. I silently prayed that no one would pick up on my lies. There was silence after that.. No one saying a word but their mind saying thousands.
"So where were you.. and for how long were you gone..?" The obviously older teen with two toned hair says. I hold my stuff close to my body. " I lost track of the time.. years.. and i just wandered till i ended up somewhere down east of Kyoto.. Found an abandoned temple of some sort and stayed there till.." My thoughts start racing through everything. Thats where one of fathers relatives are.. i could blow his cover if i continue.. but.. why do i care.. Satan has nothing on me anymore.. Im starting my own story.. They will- "Rin?" I look up then turn to my twin whos face showed extreme concern, everyone behind him also seeming concerned. "I-i'm fine- Dont worry-" I give him a reassuring smile. Yukio sighs and stands up. "Rin do you mind walking with me, we have alot to catch up on.." Yukio says in a monotone voice. I sigh and stand up, following my younger brother.

A many minutes pass with only the sound of our shoes against the hard tile floor can be heard. I struggle to keep my breath quiet. Its been how long since ive seen Yukio.. 2-3 years..? Its like hes a whole new person.. Visibly Skinny, pale, and the lack of sleep showed on his freckled face. Yukio slowly turned to a empty classroom and i silently follow. He quickly shuts the door and starts crying a clear stream of tears. "Y-yukio..?" He quickly walks to me and roughly hugs me. "Yukio..??" I basically yell out of surprise. His sobs send shivers up my spine. "Is this really you.. How could you even be here! I saw your face in that casket.. Are you a zombie!?" He said with tears in his eyes. "Jeez Yukio calm down.. and im not a zombie!" I sit up and hug him close to my torso. "When i killed myself i was reborn in Gehenna.. but i can tell you its been hell the past few years.. not having u there to yell at me when shit went down.." I smile.
He silently sobbed as i hugged him close. To have my younger twin in my arms felt like it was a dream. As if it wasn't real.. Poor Yukio suffered because i felt too ashamed of what i was.. and what happened to the old man.. but nii-sans here now lil bro.. ill tell you everything right now..

I promise..

And i dont plan on leaving anytime soon..
