Blue Exorcist: New Life

Chapter 23

((Em's POV))

"Aww man! It's starting to rain!"
I sighed as I stared out the window at the pouring down rain. Hopefully it didn't thunderstorm, or worse the electricity goes out. I kept on walking down the hallway. The rain started to go harder, the wind did as well. Suddenly the electricity went out. Great, the worst happened!
Suddenly I stopped, looking behind me and ahead. I heard something move in the shadows.
"What was that?!"
Now shaking, I hid in a corner. Whatever was coming after me it must be a demon.
"Em?"
Suddenly Bon appeared in front of me. Still though I couldn't stop shaking. He gave me a confused look.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
"You shaking in the corner is nothing? Right after the electricity went out?"
Another sound filled the hallway, making me scream slightly. Bon just sighed.
"Don't tell me your afraid of the dark."
I sighed, snuggling close to the wall.
"I'm afraid of demons in the dark...
I can't see them coming towards me..."
He sat down next to me, the rain still pouring down hard outside.
"I'll sit here with you if you want."
I nodded slightly.
"Yeah... Not like there is anywhere else better..."
He sighed as we sat together in the dark. Still the rain poured down hard outside. Bon looked at me.
"So how's your relationship with Rin going?"
"Relationship as in friends? It's going just fine."
He nodded and responded,
"I thought you two were dating, seeing how close you two are."
I laughed a bit at the thought.
"No we aren't. I don't think we ever will be."
Suddenly something was running at us. I screamed, and hid behind Bon. I didn't mean too, but it just kind of happened.
"Em!"
Rin came out of the darkness.
He sighed in relief.
"Your alright. Vicky and Sarah were worried about you."
Bon got up.
"I'll leave you two alone."
With that he left us, just like he said. It was dead silent except for the rain now pouring slower outside.
"Did Vicky send you?" I asked.
Rin only sighed, holding a hand out for me to grab to stand.
"Actually no. I just wanted to find you. Your friends were worried though, but Sarah said you were probably okay."
Tightly I grabbed his hand as he pulled me to my feet. That seemed weird. Rin went out looking for me? Usually he wouldn't do that.
"Well thanks for finding me, but Bon found me first," I joked, trying to lighten the mood.
He laughed a bit, and just smiled at me. His teeth were white....
Fangs?
"Hey Rin, when did you get fangs?"
Quickly his smile disappeared. His eyes showed a bit of panic.
"Um, I got them not to long ago."
I smiled.
"That's awesome! Although it must have hurt."
"Nah. It didn't hurt at all."
Together we walked down the hallway to class. The lights flickered on again, but the rain still carried on. I looked over at Rin, without him knowing. He still looked worried.
I wonder, what was it about?

I closed the shrine door behind me, exhausted from a long day at school. Silently I placed my bag down by the table. The old man was no where to be found, so I got myself a can of Dr.Pepper. The sound of the can opening was interrupted by the back door opening to reveal my old man.
"Drinking your Mr.Pepper I see?"
"HOW DARE YOU!! HE WORKED HARD FOR THAT DEGREE!"
He then laughed, ruffling my dirty blonde hair.
"You overreact over the littlest of things."
I sighed and got up, smiling a tiny bit.
"I'm tired... I finished homework with my friends, and it was a lot of stuff. I'm going to take a nap."
"Alright, night Emrel."
"After all these years," I said making my way towards the stairs. "It's Em."
Quickly I made my way up the stairs, I made it to my room. The look on Rin's face came back go my mind. His eyes, they showed worry.
What was he so worried about?
