Please Let Me Die...

Phoenix

Rin's POV

I closed my eyes and pretended to be comatose when Yukio and the others entered. I felt Yukio place Kurikara in my hands and heard his apology and the other's reactions to my note.
Even if I almost died, I wasn't wanted here anyways. Yukio yelled at the Kyoto Trio to get out. He asked the other ExWires and Shura to give him a moment alone. Complying, they exited the room.
I heard Yukio's footsteps as he approached my bed and felt him take my hand. The rustle of his coat told me he was kneeling by my bed.
"Please wake up, Rin. You're the only family I have left. I can't lose you like we lost Dad," he said. He cares about me for the first time in the 15 years of our lives I thought. I squeezed his hand in my own for a second, watching his eyes widen and tears well up.
"Rin! Are you awake?" He asked desperately. I didn't react, except to squeeze his hand again.
"Shura, come in here. Bring Kamaki too," Yukio said, "I think Rin is about to wake up!" Both practically kicked the door down in a rush to get in.
"Rin, wake up please," he said. Once again, I squeezed his hand, not caring if the others saw. Sorry Yukio, but I can't take the Kyoto Trio and the bullying. I'll see you again soon. I thought to myself. I slowed my heart, stopping my demonic healing. I heard the machine's alarm go off as I flatlined. Then I let go of Yukio's hand, welcoming the darkness that consumed me.

Yukio's POV

I watched in horror as Rin's heart flatlined. When he let go of my hand, I lost it. I started CPR, trying to bring my brother back. Doctors and nurses rushed in, pushing me to the side.
Chaos ensued, they were pumping oxygen into him and doing chest compressions, then using the defibrillator on him. They repeated this five times before they finally gave up.
"I'm calling it. Time of death is 6:34 pm," the doctor said. The others nodded and one covered Rin with the sheet. My legs felt as if they were made from rubber, and I collapsed into the floor.
"I'm sorry. We did everything that we could," the doctor said before exiting. I rose on shaky legs and stumbled to my brother's bedside. I knelt down and began sobbing.
Sometime later, the ExWires entered with Shura. Shura silently walked over and hugged me, allowing me to cry on her shoulder.
Then, all of a sudden, my brother's body erupted into blue flames. A few seconds later, his body was ash and the flames disappeared.

Rin's POV

I was suspended in darkness yet again, floating in space. Once again, I appeared in a garden. Satan also appeared to comfort me and keep me company as my body prepared to regenerate.
It had been Satan that told me about the power of the Phoenix, which only those that had Satan's flames possessed. Ilbis was the only exception, as he had flames of his own, but he couldn't reincarnate. He could only heal injuries. At his suggestion, I faked my own death to convince everyone I had died so I could escape to Gahenna.

3rd Person POV

Kuro was sleeping fitfully on Rin's bed in the old forms when all of a sudden, it erupted into blue flames. He jumped off, looking at it in total surprise. A minute later, Rin was laying there.
"Well that was new. Being suspended in darkness and dead really feels weird," he said.
"Hey Kuro, how do you feel about moving to a new home?" he asked the Cat Sidhe.
"Is it somewhere where people will love and accept you? If it is then let's go!" Kuro responded.
"Yeah, it is. Surprisingly enough, it's Gahenna. Amaimon will be here shortly to collect us," Rin said, "Kuro? Do me a favor and don't yell at or attack Amaimon."
The Cat Sidhe reluctantly agreed to not go off on Amaimon. Rin thanked him and began packing. He grabbed plenty of Kuro's food and silvervine sake, numerous cookbooks, clothes, manga, and some pictures. He also packed a few weapons for just in case.
Not two minutes after Rin finished packing, someone tapped on the window. Rin opened it to reveal none other than Amaimon.
"Are you ready, brother?" He asked around a lollipop.
"Yes," Rin said as he slung his bags over his shoulders and grabbed Kurikara.

Yukio's POV

I stood in shock, staring at the ash strewn bed. I was sure the others were doing the exact same thing. My brother was decimated, turned to ash. He was actually gone.
I wasn't able to accept this, even as the weight of grief settled on my shoulders. Darkness claimed me as I fell to the ground.
I opened my eyes to see a hot pink blob with blonde color in in the front. I blinked a few times. The image cleared to reveal Shura.
"What happened?" I asked, confused.
"You passed out, Yukio. You've been out for a week," Shura replied.
