What if Rin had been in a gang since he was eight? What if his brother and friends found out?
The whole class jumped as Rin's phone started to ring.
"Rin, please turn your phone off," Yukio sighed.
Rin frowned. He'd kept it on just in case Fox called him. He'd warned him about something going down behind the borders and for Rin to be on guard and alert for any sudden calls.
Rin fished his phone from his pocket and flicked it open. "Sorry, Yukio. Gotta take this!"
Before Yukio could protest, Rin was already out the door.

"What was that all about?" Shima asked.
"Of course he skips class to take a phone call!" Bon groaned.
"Something isn't right," Yukio said.
"What do you mean?" Shiemi asked worriedly.
"Rin doesn't have anyone but you guys and me on his contacts. And well, Shura, too, but she doesn't really count since she never calls Rin anyway. She prefers to come harass him in person. Besides, there's no way Rin would skip class to answer Shura," Yukio explained.
"That is odd," Konekomaru agreed.
"If you guys are so worried, go spy on him." Izumo rolled her eyes.
"Well, let's go!" Bon exclaimed. "The idiot's obviously hiding something."
"I was joking!" Izumo growled.

"I'm not too sure this is a good idea," Shiemi whispered.
"I don't want to be too invasive of Rin's privacy," Yukio agreed.
"Aren't you worried? What if he's involved in something?" Bon asked.
Yukio frowned. "Well..."
It was too late to go back, though, because just around the corner, Rin Okumura flicked his ringing phone open and switched it to speaker. An unfamiliar male voice carried through. "About time you picked up!"
"Ah, shut the hell up, Hack! I thought Fox was supposed to ring me!" Rin scowled. "You almost fucked me over! I was in the middle of class, and Yukio would not have let me answer if I hadn't run out. If I get chewed out, it's on you!"
"Are you actually afraid of your baby brother?" The voice dubbed as 'Hack' teased.
"Less afraid, more annoyed. I don't want him to go far enough to put demon wards on the dorm, and I can't get through!" Rin suddenly smirked, tone smug. "After all, where would you losers be without me?"
"Less insane, that's for sure," Hack teased.
"Fuck you," Rin chuckled. "Seriously though, where's Fox?"
Hack laughed nervously. "That's kind of why Fox isn't the one speaking. He's...preoccupied."
The whole class was confused and bewildered. Who was Fox? Who was this Hack guy Rin acted like he knew?
They watched as Rin grew rigid. "Hack, what do you mean preoccupied?"
"He's...uh..." Hack trailed off.
"It's started, hasn't it? Hydra's dead, and they've decided we're easy picks?" Rin asked rhetorically.
"Look," Hack sighed. "We both know that we're not 'easy picks'. Even with Hydra dead, they can't just kick us down now. Hydra was our leader, not some fucking glue that held us together."
