'Are you okay (Y/N)?' Kuro asked.

"I..." you stopped, turning your head to face the two tailed cat, "no..."

Resting your back against the wall, you slumped to the ground and buried you head between your knees as tears streamed from your eyes.

"I.. I'm not okay Kuro... I don't want to pretend anymore!" You cried.

Kuro nuzzled your head, making a sad meow.

'Don't cry!' He pleaded.

"Why does everyone hate me Kuro? I.. I don't want people to hate me..."

'I don't hate you! I love you!'

Sniffling, you lifted your head, wiping your eyes you picked Kuro up and held him to your chest as you cuddled him. Kuro purred and nudged your head.

"I love you too Kuro, you're the best."

You sat there for another couple of minutes, letting yourself calm down. Putting your mask back on, you didn't want anyone else to see how broken you really were.

"Thanks for being here Kuro." You smiled.

'That's What friends do!'

Kissing his head, you stood up and hugged him as you carried on walking down the hall. You shoved all your emotions back down within you.

"(Y/N)!"

Turning, you found Mephisto marching over, he planted his hands firmly on your shoulders and stared you in the eyes.

"Don't listen to what he said."

"He's true..."

"Now, that's not true and you know it." He scolded lightly.

"I don't want to talk about it Mephisto.."

"When will you talk about it?"

You shrugged and brushed past Mephisto.

"I'm going to see if Rin can draw his sword with flaming up.

Mephisto sighed and watched you go back to the infirmary. Standing outside the door, you let your horns and crown free, no point hiding who you were now, then you walked in. Everyone turned to face you and you turned to Rin.

"Come on punk, I'm going to give you some help on drawing your sword without flaming up.

"I can't wait!" Rin gushed.

Placing Kuro on the floor, you kept your gaze away from Aizawa and the rest of 1-A.

"Yukio I'll be staying for a while."

"Right, of course I understand." He smiled.

"Let's go kid."

Wrapping your tail with Rin's, the pair of you left the room with Kuro bounding over you. You and Rin walked past Mephisto who shook his head. Leading Rin to an empty room, you pulled him and pushed him into the middle before separating yourself and standing back.

"Alright let's see what you can do. Chuck me your sword."

Rin tossed it and you caught it easily. Opening, his flames burst out around him, and you sheathed it again.

"Try picturing an unlit candle, after what basically what we are. Candles."

"Okay." He nodded.

You waited a few moments and drew the sword again, but Rin still burst into blue. Sheathing it. You smiled encouragingly.

"Try again."

You waited another minutes and drew the sword again, but once again he went blue.

"It's so hard!" He whined.

"You'll get there Rin, you need practice. Here."

Chucking his sword back, you unclasped yours and held it in your hands.

"Watch."

Drawing your sword, there was a blue spark, blue you didn't light up.

"You'll always have that spark, but if you draw it fast enough no one will notice it. I've had more practice. I'm 26 remember and I've been training since I was 11 when my flames manifested. I also had Mephisto to help me."

"I forgot about that..."

Laughing a little, you sheathed your sword. Holding it in one hand, you wrapped your arm around his shoulder and led him towards the door, taking him back to the infirmary.

"You'll get there."

"Can I have your sword?"

"Sure what for?"

Handing him your sword, a mischievous grin spread across Rin's face and he sprinted damn the hall.

"DAMN IT RIN!" You yelled.

Chasing after him, you skidded into the infirmary nearly crashing into Hizashi and Toshinori you quickly stopped.

"Rin Okumura I know your in here give it back you little shit!"

To the left a window opened, behind Aizawa, Rin begin quickly climbing out of it and you huffed.

"Ami help me?"

"Gladly little sister."

Amiamon jumped after him an you padded over, ignoring Aizawa, you lifted yourself with ease over the side and stayed there as you glanced around before looking up, spotting a familiar tail.

Smirking, you braced your legs and jumped up, flipping over him with a smirk.

"Boo!"

"You'll have to catch me!"

Rin took off again this time with both your and Amiamon hot on his heels, at least you had your brothers to help distract you for a while
