*Both peacefully sleeping, Rin folded like a half human pretzel*

Yukio P.O.V

My eyes start to flutter open. I always starts to wake up just before the alarm. The alarm itself rarely woke me up anymore, and I was so used to it that it didn't work on me anyway.

I sighed and waited in bed for the alarm, wanting every bit of sleep I could get. I was teaching a difficult lesson today and I knew Rin would have issues with it.

I looked over at my sleeping brother. How does his body twist like that for one, and how can he sleep like this? How can he get so much sleep, but then sleep in class?

Suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream tore through the room, echoing through the dorm and ripping me from my thoughts. i jumped and fell off my bed as Rin's eyes slowly opened. "Mornin' Yukio."

Rin P.O.V

I set my alarm to a scream, so like how it was in Gehenna, because I had a room near the dungeons. Yukio wasn't in his bed and I decided to look through the books and do the homework set yesterday. It was easy, one of the first things I learnt, and was drilled into me. Every year I for one month I would recap what I did the years before so I wouldn't forget anything. I complained at first, but when I actually did it I saw how much it helped me in remembering my lessons. 

Yukio popped up on his bed, and looked at me with a crazy look. "What was that sound?" he cried, clearly confused and scared by my alarm. He isn't used to waking up to screams, he doesn't know anything about Gehenna.  I explain it quickly and got back to the books.

Most of the book was accurate, but it was the little things it got wrong. If a demon protects another demon, it is 'enslaved' or 'food'. This isn't true as it is most likely a family member or friend. I went to the kitchen and caught up with Ukobach. He said that an exorcist came and saw he wasn't hurting anything and only cooked, so he allowed him to stay here. I helped him cook because he was my favourite teacher before he left, and was the most patient and liked to talk the most. Some of them had harsh conditions, like some of the female demons were abused, or the male demons over worked. In the kitchen it was different. No one cared if you were the prince or what level demon you were. As long as you hurt no one, no one hurt you.  We were all family.

I went outside and went over my daily drills. I always do these and would not feel good the whole day if I didn't I felt odd. I knew I would not be able to do my normal training so I decided to do what I could on my own and my surroundings.

At 8:00 I met Yukio at breakfast.
"Where were you? I was worried you went back." Yukio said. He looked cross but I could see his concern. I replied
"I went out to do my drills. I need to do them every day so I can keep my training up." Yukio stood and let loose the breath he was holding. "Let's go to our class then."
I ate and followed him. We had Shiro as our teacher, I do not know what I should do. Would he be mad? Would he reveal me? Would he cry? We walked into the class and we sat down. Every one filed in and then Shiro came in. He turned to the class. "Hello, tod-" He stopped and stared at me. He stared at me as if I was a ghost, and walked up to me. He whispered "Rin?" I nodded and he hugged me. I muttered " I will talk to you later after the lesson, I will fill you in." He agreed and walked to the front of the class. The other classmates looked at me funny but ignored it. Shirk started the lesson.

"Open your books on page 54 for plant demons..." the lesson continued as normal, but Shiro kept looking at me with happiness. I answered some questions to seem bothered and normal. After everyone left me and Yukio stayed behind. Shiro looked like he would burst with happiness. "I am so sorry for not protecting you more, that you had to visit that awful place." I scowled. Humans made Gehenna seem like hell, exaggerated massively, and it is wrong. It is less civilised than Assiah but is still an ok place: Some places in Assiah were similar like the more rough, urban areas. He was just like Yukio. I let go and we talked. He asked the same questions as Yukio, and had the same reaction. After finishing he sat and started to cry. I felt sympathy for him, no matter how much Satan wanted me to be emotionless, he never could , even with a good memory taken away. Then a week in the doom room.  I crouched and said comfortingly, " I did enjoy most of my time there, I made some friends, and I learnt a lot!" I laughed it off, not showing how certain memories haunt and affect me.

Shiro asked, "What did you do for fun?" This is a surprise, Yukio didn't want to look at the things I may have enjoyed. I told him, " There was a lake where I would go swim, a theatre, painting and cooking. I would also sometimes be invited to a house as I was walking by, and talked to many people." Shiro looked shocked, as did Yukio. Shiro squinted his eyes, "Do you consider demons as people?" I blinked. "Yes, I do." 
They looked at each other in confusion, and I frowned
"Do you not? They are just a different species."
Yukio spoke this time, "They are not like us, they hunt and kill." "But humans kill each other all wars, and there are some peaceful demons." They decided to drop it, but I knew they only thought of the bad side of demons. Shiro stood and out on his teacher face.
"You should go to your next lesson, don't want to be late." We left.

Yukio P.O.V

As we walked out of the class I kept looking at Rin, at his demonic features. He has sharper canines than the average human, and slightly pointed ears. Both are only noticeable if you want to look at them, and the small lump on his back, probably where his tail is.

I can't believe he thinks there can be peaceful demons, all they do is destroy. I know he would know more about them because he lived in Gehenna, the demon world, but he doesn't see it from us. When he said they do have families I recall a female looking demon standing in front of a smaller version of them, as if protecting them, before being exorcised. I also remember other times like that. Maybe they do have a sense of family.

I hope you enjoy this fanfic, please tell me how I am doing because I am a noob.
