Chapter 17: Just on the horizon

A/n: This may have unsettling themes, so please read with care

Rin's POV

            After talking to him, he suggested that I go back to class with him. I shook my head, not wanting to go back. I brought even attention to myself by leaving, no need to bring more by going back. And, this would give me the time to rest. 

          Although, knowing that he should't leave after saying something as sketchy as I did, it would be a tough decision. I felt horrible after I saw they way he looked. The worriment, and the uneasiness, flooded my mind, yet what I said wasn't meant to be in a bad way. I knew he was trying to think of an excuse to bring me back to class. His eyebrows furrowed. "Bon" I said aloud, catching his attention, "I'll be fine." I smiled softly, "I'm just going to stay here for the day. I think one more day of rest will be fine for me. I have myself under control." I watched his eyes wander, knowing damn well that this was going to be a hard one. "Are you sure, Rin? I don't want to leave you alone. I feel as you're going to do something stupid, and wind up dead. You know, everybody would hate that. If you did that, we'd all be upset." He said, stroking the back of his neck. "All..of you?" 

            He sighed, scoffing and shaking his head side to side. "I don't understand why you think everybody hates you. I mean, come on. If you didn't come to this school, we'd be bored out of our minds. I mean, you started a fight with your brother on the first day. Can't get much more entertaining than that." He placed a hand on my shoulder. "Just think about everyone and what you mean to us, before you decide to do something you might regret. And with that thought in mind, I'll go back to class, and tell Yukio that you'll be staying here for the rest of the day." He removed his hand, and walked towards the door. He almost placed his hand on the doorknob, "Hey, Bon." He paused, "Yeah, Rin?" He turned to look at over at me, "Thank you" I said sweetly. He chuckled, and closed the door. 

            I looked off into the distance, relaxing as the breeze flew by. The rustling of the leaves and chirps of birds filled the air. The intoxicating smell of flowers nearby was sweet. The little things that you'd normally take advantage of, was something...special. It was one of those things that you pause at, and take in. It's like you literally stopping to smell the roses. It was delightful. 

Bon's POV

            I walk back to class, seeing Yukio continue to teach through the door window. I knock on the door, opening it, and catching everybody's attention. "Okumura-Sensei? Mind coming to the hallway?" I asked, peaking from behind the door. He nodded, setting a few papers onto the desk, and walking towards the door. "So" He said abruptly, "What happened?" He crossed his arms, giving off a feeling of anger more than worry. "I don't actually that part. But, he's going to go and rest up a bit more. My guess was he's just feeling a little uneasy." I tried to state calmly, but I felt like he could see right through me. "You're not telling me everything, are you" he placed his fingers on the ridge of his glasses, pushing them up as they did the "anime-glow-thing." "I swore I wouldn't tell anybody. " I said, leaning my shoulder against the locker.

            He grabbed his glasses from pure rage, tightening his grip, and breaking them to pieces. "Do you think this is a fucking joke? I'm his brother! Anything he told you, I'm allowed to know too! You're not the only one worried!" His voice echoed through the hallways. It was actually a little scary. "I'm sorry, but I intend to keep a promise." I tried to push past him, and walk into class, but he placed an arm against the wall. His arm was almost shaking. "Please, Bon. I understand that he doesn't want to concern me, but the both of you can't keep me in the dirt." He said, barely keeping in tears. They did share a resemblance, their eyes were the same blue, and remained that way even teary. "I'm assuming it's recent, but lately he's been hallucinating Shiro, I think he said, but he's being possessed by Satan." As the words flew out of my mouth, Yukio's eyes widened in shock. He covered his mouth as he bowed his head.
