the blue sword

Chapter 1

Yukio was going to kill him. He didn't know how, but he was sure he would.

But it was a bit late for Rin to go back. He had already enrolled and well... Getting back to Japan would be a lot harder than getting to a school he was accepted into.

It sure was a lot hotter than home anyway. And drier.

He had heard that that was what it was like in Nevada but he didn't really expect what he felt. He felt... Comfortable. More so than he ever really did in Japan. Despite everything, feeling even worlds apart, he felt something stir inside him.

His lips curled into a grin and he swore, if only for a moment, the sun gave its own wild grin back. With wild energy, he ran to the center of the city where the school was located. His blood echoed in his ears as he felt his adrenaline pumping.

For once, he was excited for his first day of school. It may not have been Japanese, but despite what teachers said, he knew his English wasn't that bad. In fact, it seemed to be the one class he seemed to excel in other than home ec.

Perhaps it was due to not going with Yukio. He may have loved his brother dearly, but they were as different as night and day. Yukio was practically a little Saint, raised in a chapel never to hurt anyone. Most called Rin a demon, which is what he is but he was still a nice guy. Not that many people believed him. Called him a monster.

All it took was a few rumors and stories of his temper to make people believe anything against him.

He was also exited to finlly leave True Cross Academy ,and finally be rid of all the bullying from his classmates, after they found out his secret of being the son of Satan.

But, new country. New school. And no twin.

He had a clean slate.

It was only when he stepped foot on the grounds did he feel anything but positive.

Everyone looked so... Odd. Many looked like delinquents with their wild hair, some even out of uniform.

Was this why he was accepted? He could almost taste the bitterness of his own thoughts when some one tapped him on his shoulder. He turned to see a girl who projected a serious and studiousness he had seen from his brother, along with a white haired laid back guy in what appeared to be some sort of running suit.

"Rin Okumura?" The girl asked. Rin nodded his head and the white haired kid gave a small grin revealing some rather sharp teeth.

"Cool," the guy said, "Kid told us we were supposed to show you where your class is."

"Kid?" Rin couldn't help but ask. Was kid like, a student council member or something?

"You'll meet him soon enough. Name's Soul," the guy introduced pointing to himself.

"And I'm Maka Albarn," the girl also introduced, "Please follow us."

Rin followed obediently not knowing his way around.

"So," Soul began as they walked, "weapon or meister?"

"Excuse me?"

"Are you a weapon? Or are you a meister?" Soul asked again. Rin raised a brow curiously.
