Even Time Has A Limit

Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4

I do not own Blue Exorcist (yeah, no shit) or any characters associated with it. Blue Exorcist is property of Kazue Kato.

It has been a while since I've watched Blue Exorcist, so I don't remember all the terms and events, but i'll try my best. Also please ignore my shitty writing, I know it's bad.

Rin walked through the halls of True Cross Academy, the events of the day replaying in his head. Him and Yukio had gone on a mission. Yukio had told Rin to stay put while he loaded up on supplies. Of course Rin ignored his brother's orders and walked around. He had found a gate to a beautiful garden and 'accidently' came in contact with it, causing it to come crashing down. There he had met a girl named Shiemi. Rin discovered that Shiemi couldn't walk. At first she had been scared of him, but then they started to talk and Rin helped her with her planting. She told him a story about her grandmother and the garden of Amahara. Then Yukio entered the garden and revealed that Shiemi might have been possessed. She wasn't, but she did have a nasty case of root. Yukio explained that she was probably in contact with a demon and that was why she couldn't walk -- the demon was draining her energy. They then had a fight with the demon and saved Shiemi. Rin thought that the ordeal was quite boring. 'It was just a minor demon. It wasn't doing anything wrong, just taking advantage of the weak in order to survive. What's so wrong about letting a demon have its fun?'

When he arrived at his destination, the dining hall, Yukio was already sitting there, looking very cold and off-putting.

"Hey Yukio." Rin called out to his brother. Yukio was being passive aggressive to Rin lately and Rin was determined to find out why.

"Yes."

"I was wondering, what's going on with you?"

"Nothing."

"It's not nothing."

Yukio sighed. "Fine. Maybe it isn't nothing."

"What is it then?"

"It's just that...you join my class without asking, then you break a vial of goblin blood. And when the demons start to attack the students, do you protect them? No, you don't. And all this happened on the same day, so forgive me if i'm a tad bit upset that you completely failed your responsibilities as an exorcist.

"Feel better?"

"Yes, actually I do"

Rin sat down next to his younger brother and embraced him.

"I'm sorry." Rin said.

"Me too."

Rin then got his food and sat across from his brother. 'Oh, Yukio, I forgot how easily you get hurt ... you should know, that very soon you're gonna be in a world of pain. And it's all gonna be because of little old me.'

After the twins finished their meals, they began to walk back to their room. Rin had often wondered why they had the whole building to themselves. He hypothesised that it was because Yukio, after they had spent their lives together, still did not trust Rin, which was understandable seeing how he was the son of Satan and a demon prince.

Rin got to the door first there he saw a little slip of folded paper. He picked it up and unfolded it. As he read it his heart stopped.

I know what you did.
