Kings and a prince

ch 2

"Hey Yukio," I say happily waving at him from my table. He sits down across from me

"Hi Rin," Yukio says with a smile tired smile... something is bothering him, I know him too well. Something is bothering him. "So how was your day?"

"It was good... how was your day?" I reply softly looking him in the eye.

Yukio chuckled softly and smiled. "I had a busy day today... but it wasn't too hard,"

"Ok... is something bothering you?"

"No, not really. I just am thinking about a lot. There is no need to worry Rin," Yukio says softly brushing my question off.

"Ok well, I will be in our room if you want to talk," I replied getting up and walking over to the door.

"Hey, do you have any plans this weekend?" Yukio asks softly.

"Actually I have plans," I reply sheepishly.

Yukio nods and I wander to my room... I feel bad for not being able to accept his invasion... he is so busy nowadays...

Maybe we can plan for next weekend, after all, nothing is stopping us from making plans. We are brothers we can work something out. After all, the world isn't going to be ending for a while. We will have time for each other.

It's funny... I never thought I would get this far in life. I just thought I was going to stay at the monastery forever... but now that I am here I can go anywhere, become whatever I want to be, on the side of course.

I think I will become a therapist just to earn some more cash and to help others. A lot of problems could be solved if we just talked about things. Or I could become a counselor. I just want to help, I could become a police officer.

But then I could easily hurt someone. My emotions might get in the way and I don't know if... I don't know if I can fight a human... Sure I am protecting others but just because someone's mind isn't in the right places doesn't mean I should hurt someone

It was fine before I unsheath my sword, but now... I could kill someone easily. I could slip up and hurt someone innocent...

I don't think I could live with that.

Besides, two physical jobs could be rather difficult to handle. I don't want to overwork myself... it would also be smart to stay near Mephisto. He is going to keep an eye on me no matter what so what real reason is there for hiding? Besides, I might even make arrangements with him and get a job on campus.

Walking through the old crooked halls I get a nostalgic feeling, the halls smell different, but familiar, I don't know if it is a good familiar. The creaky old wood would have alerted me if someone had entered through the hall... so it must be coming from a window. I don't remember leaving any windows open though...

But knowing me I could have left it open by accident. Oh well, I better close it before Yukio gets mad, I don't want to sit through another lecture about the dangers of leaving the window open. Walking in the room I flip the lights only to meet a pair of glaring golden eyes.

"Hello, Rin," Amaimon purrs sitting on the windowsill, legs dangling inside of the room tapping softly against the wall.

"What are you doing here," I snarl, raising my fists for a fight. I may not be able to fight him one on one without my sword but I can take him by surprise and knock him out of the window! Then I can get my sword, I will stand more of a change then.

"You aren't doing good in your classes so Mephisto sent me to teach you,"

"I don't need your help. I'm perfectly fine with leaning on my own now, so leave," I order not having any time to deal with him.
