The Son Of Satan Stole My Heart (a blue exorcist/Rin romantic fan fiction)

Chapter 8:Wounded

"I've got to tell you, Mephisto, that was pretty cruel." I tell him.
The ghoul attack was apparantly to prepare us for the exwire exam.
He giggles. "Sorry, dear."
I roll my eyes and play with the buttons on my shirt, Mephisto called me into his office because Yukio voiced concern about me to him.
"Yukio tells me you're one of the best students in his class, but he says you aren't talking as much as you used to. He says you seem really distant and he hasn't seen you eating in the cafeteria like you normally do."
I look down at my lap. "I'm just trying to keep busy with my studying is all." I wasn't wrong. Since Rin confessed who he really was I've been distancing myself from him. I've been making myself study, and when I'm not studying I'm talking to my grandfather or playing video games. I just try to keep my mind busy and away from Rin.
Mephisto gives me a sad look. "If you don't mind my asking, do you think your sudden change of behavior has anything to do with losing your mother?"
A sting of sadness penetrates my heart, I really do miss her. I don't show my emotions in front of others though, I mainly just cry in my room at night. "Maybe." I confess, holding back tears.
Mephisto kindly hands me a tissue. "I'm sorry that you've had to go through so much loss."
I wipe away my tears quickly. "Thank you."
There's a knock at Mephisto's door.
He smiles. "Well, it looks like my next appointment is here. Listen Isabella, come to me if you need anything." He tells me.
I smile and walk out of his office, returning to my dorm.
Shiemi meets me there for a study date.
She approaches my door around the same time I do.
"Hey, Isabella." She tells me.
"Hey." I smile.
We put our books on the bed and begin studying.
We go for about an hour and then take a break.
"Guess what." Shiemi tells me.
"What is it?"
"Yukio thinks I have the potential to become a tamer!" She says with excitement in her voice.
"Really? That's great!" I exclaim.
She grins. "What rank do you want to try for?"
"Aria." I tell her.
"That'd be great for you." She tells me.
Our conversation is interrupted by screams on the roof of the cram school building.
"What in the world?" Shiemi exclaims with worry in her voice.
"Come on!" I tell her. We run to the building, my familiar following closely behind.
I didn't know who was hurt or what was going on, but I took Yukio's last lesson about working together seriously, Shiemi and I could get some great experience in right now.
We get to the top of the building to see Rin on the ground, seeming to be really hurt and Yukio and Neuhaus as well.
"Rin!" All of a sudden all for the fear and anger I felt toward him went away, I just wanted to help him.
I notice Neuhaus with an evil look.
"What did you do, you son of a bitch?" I yell.
Yukio holds me back.
Neuhaus ignores me. "I'd watch out if I were you, others want to see your brother dead as well." He exits.
I try to fight off Yukio so I could get to him but his grasp on me is too tight.
"Isabella, stop." He tells me.
I rest and he let's go.
I turn to Rin and noticed he's passed out.
I notice Shiemi is tending to his wounds. "Is he going to be okay?"
She nods. "He'll be fine."
A wave of relief washes over me.
Yukio turns to me. "Can we talk for a second?"
"Sure." I tell him and we sit at a distance away from Shiemi and Rin.
"Forgive me for being nosey, but did something happen between you and Rin? You two were.. well you know, and I haven't seen you talk to him since that day."
Tears fill my eyes, I decide to tell Yukio the truth. "I'm scared of him."
He tilts his head to the side. "How come?"
"I found out.. who he was."
Yukio puts a hand on his forehead. "Oh, goodness. I bet that was a lot to take in, I'm so sorry, Isabella." He tells me.
I just look down and let my tears fall freely.
"Hey." He puts an arm around me. "I know where Rin comes from, but I grew up with him. I know there isn't a mean bone or a hurtful bone in his body. He may not be the smartest, and sure as hell not the most mature, but he cares for people, and I know he cares for you."
I wipe my tears. "How do you know?" I question.
Yukio smiles. "He won't shut up about you."
I giggle softly.
"Also." Yukio continues. "I bet if you told him about your mom, he'd understand. Maybe you should talk to him, you know, once his wounds heal and he's stronger."
I shake my head. "I don't know, Yukio."
"Trust me." He wraps me in a hug, I thought it was kind of weird, considering he's my teacher, but it was nice.
"Okay." I tell him.
Shiemi escorts me back to the dorm and I fall backwards onto my bed.
I don't know what's going on. I don't know why my feelings are so weird toward Rin. I fear him so much, but seeing him hurt really hurt me. I didn't want him to be hurt. I just wanted to make him feel better. -
