A Love-Hate Relationship

You'll Get Hurt

Rin's POV

"Who are you?! What do you want?!" I call out to the darkness. I see no one but I can feel there is someone there, lurking in the dark.

It's warm here. I doesn't feel scary. Still, where the hell am I? Am I dead? Is this hell?

"Don't talk" A voice says. An unfamiliar voice.

"What's going on?!" I shout, looking around me, trying to see anything; anyone. 

A light shines onto Bon, tied up and gagged, sitting on the floor. His hands are tied behind his back, cuts on his face and, from what I can see, on his neck and collar bone. His face still serious like always. I see no pain. But he is bleeding. 

"Bastard" I mumble, rage flowing through my entire body. I try to move towards him but I can't. Someone is holding me back.

Someone is behind me. I can't feel them. Hands on my shoulders, keeping me from moving. 

"LET ME GO!!" I shout, allowing my flames to surround me and they quickly let go.

"Ahhh now thats what I wanted. Your blue flames sure are truely remarkable. Such beauty" They speak. It sounds like a demon. But their hands felt too human to be in their natural form. 

I turn to see who it is but no one is there. They seem to have vanished. 

"I've been waiting, young Prince" Their voice echoes through the shadows. It's a surrounding sound. "Come with me. Come to your true home in Gehenna"

Ignoring the demons words, I rush over to Bon and take the gag out of his mouth.

"Are you alright?!" 

"Just untie me so we can get me out of here" He speaks, his voice low and rapsy. 

I nod and untie is legs first. After I finish untying his legs, the demons is near again. I can feel it. Behind me. I try to hurry to get Bons hands undone but I'm not fast enough.

Hands wrap around my throat and lift me up into the air. 

"Rin!" Bon yells out, his voice barely audioable. I feel a nice, fuzzy feeling in my stomach when he says my name. I can't help but to smile a bit.

"Don't you worry about me" I stuggle, air not making into my lungs. "Get yourself free-" the hands tighten around my throat. "and run. I don't - gah- want to hurt you" I start to feel light headed .

"I'm not leaving without you, man! Your flames won't hurt me. Use them!" 

"T-Thats not why-.." I can't get words ot anymore. I can't breath. "It'll... control me" I force the words out.

"Okumura! I won't let that happen! If you don't use them now, we could both die! Use them now!!" 

I instantly release my flames. Using every ounce of energy I have to destroying this thing.

"GaAhHhHhh!" It shrieks in pain and lets go. I hit the floor hard, my head bouncy off the ground.

Pushing away the pain, I stand up, blood running down my face. Bon tries to help me but I push him away, stumbling forward. 

"Stay away!" I hiss. "Or else you'll get hurt"
