Rin's POV

Everyday is the same. I go to normal school, where I'm ignored by everyone. Then, in the break time between when cram school starts and regular school ends, I get brutally attacked by Bon. No matter where I hide, even on the roof of the school, he finds me and kicks, punches, slaps, insults, and laughs at me. He stops about 5-10 minutes before cram school starts so he can get there on time. I'm always late because I have to lay there for 10 minutes before I can move. After someone's been beating on you for 20-25 minutes, who wouldn't?
"Late again, Rin? How many times do I have to tell you to be on time? Go sit down and try not to fall asleep today," Yukio says when I finally enter the classroom 10 minutes late. Shiemi cowers as I sit next to her, but looks at me curiously when I since with the motion. I'm not completely healed from Bon's "punishment for living as Satan's spawn" as he calls it. I've barely healed enough to walk.
"R-rin w-what's wrong w-with you? Y-you look like you're in pain?" She whispers, concern for my well-being triumphing over her fear of what I am.
"I'm fine, Shiemi. Don't worry about me," I say, "I don't deserve your concern anyways." I muttered the last part to myself.

Time skip to after cram school ends

Rin's POV

I was walking back to the dorm when I hear a voice behind me.
"Okumura! Where do you think you're going? You haven't finished paying for existing as Satan's spawn yet!" Bon yells. I can't take another beating. Not right now.
I start running, but a month of eating the minimal amount of food really weakens you. Bon easily catches up to me and tackles me. He starts punching me as hard as he can in the ribs, kidneys, stomach, groin, and my face. After 10 minutes he's bored of punching me so he starts kicking me. After I've been punched and kicked everywhere on my body, he gets up and tells me that I've paid for living today, but the price will be higher tomorrow.
I lay there on the ground for 20 minutes, waiting for my broken ribs, leg, arms, and jaw to heal. Once they do, I painfully rise and start limping back to the dorm. My leg is still half broken and I'm bleeding internally. I'll heal in about 3 hours, but for right now, my healing factor is more focused on the internal bleeding to worry about my fractured leg and multiple bruises and lacerations.
Finally I make it home. I yell Yukio's name a couple times to see if he's home. I let out a sigh of relief when I discover he isn't home and promptly pass out on the couch, my body choosing to heal rather than stay awake.

Shiemi's POV

I hear Bon laughing as someone yells for him to stop hitting them. Curious, I walk over and stop dead in my tracks. On the ground is Rin, his right leg at an unnatural angle. Then I notice the bone jutting of the skin on his right leg and left arm. I hide behind a nearby cherry blossom tree and watch, afraid to interfere. I hear a sickening sound of bones crushing and see that Bon has broken Rin's jaw. He keeps beating Rin for another 20 minutes. Then, Bon announces that he's bored and tells Rin he has paid for living today but that the price will be higher tomorrow.
I stand there another 10 minutes, watching as Rin's arm and leg heal enough for him to get up and walk on. Just to be sure he's fine, I follow him as he walks home. As I'm about to leave, I see Rin pass out on the floor so I rush in to help.
Despite his size, Rin is surprisingly light. I manage to get him on the couch and leave him there as I search the dorm for a first aid kit. Finally I find one in the bathroom. Kit in hand, I rush back to Rin.
After treating the wounds on his face I push up his sleeves. As I wrap the bandage from his shoulders to his wrists, I notice scars. When I turn his arm over for a closer look, I realize that they were self-inflicted. In case Yukio doesn't know about Rin's cutting, I wrap the bandages around the scars as well.
Then, I notice blood on his shirt. I unbutton it to treat the wound, which was caused by his broken rib puncturing the skin. I push the bone back inside and put antibiotic ointment on the bleeding gash. I wrap the bandages around and notice more scars on Rin's chest. Looking closer, I realize that these were also self inflicted. I wrap them up as well, hiding them from Yukio, buttoning his shirt back up.
Next, I push him to where he is laying on the couch and push his left pant leg up to his knee. I can feel the fracture in his shin, so I wrap it up too, in case he forgets it's broken. Deciding my task was complete, I pull his pant leg back down, take his shoes off, and put them next to the couch. I put the first aid kit back where it was and grab a spare blanket. Before I leave, I put the blanket over Rin.

Yukio's POV

I come home to see Shiemi just leaving our dorm. I catch up to her and ask her what she was doing.
"Sorry Yukio, I noticed Rin had fallen asleep on the couch without a blanket and I thought he might get cold so I found a spare blanket to put on him," Shiemi said. Just looking out for Rin, I smile.
"It's okay, Shiemi. Why don't you come in and I can have Ukobach make us some tea?" I offer. "We can wait for Rin to wake up and then we can have dinner together."
"Okay," Shiemi says, "That sounds good!"
