A Place...To call.. My own?

Shura stopped, she knew that he would be treated as nothing more than a weapon if he lived. Rin felt slightly more pissed, he turned around angrily.

"Whatever. Let me die. I'll just live my last three months however I want"

"Rin, you don't want to do this, come back here we can try to find another way to control your flames" Shura walked over to Rin.

Rin slung his sword over his shoulder and stepped away from her. She stopped, looking at Rin in sorrowful and fearful disbelief.

"Rin..."

"I've lost all hope of living... If they say I'm a demon, then I'm a demon. It doesn't matter anymore. But know this... If humans can be fucking terrible and cruel as shit, then why can't a demon like me who had never hurt anyone be good? Must every demon die because of what we are? I might be saying this cause I'm scared and a demon as well. But I know for a fact that not all demons are bad" Rin turned around.

"I'll leave, I know I'm going to die one way or another, might as well make it quicker..." Rin turned around, his back facing her, but he only turned his head to look at her saddened expression.

       He smiled softly at her, he accepted his fate.

      "I'll see you either before or at the trial. Thanks for doing what you can with me, I appreciate you and everything you did for me." Rin ended up walking out of the training area.

Shura was left there, in shock. She felt sorry for him, and didn't know what to do about this whole "Rin accepting to die" business.

       Rin exited the building and a feel of fresh air flew past his entire person, as if it was ever so softly kissing him. Rin closed his eyes and looked up at the nice blue sky that was already beginning to set, making a sky a pretty orange color.
  
           Rin breathed in the air. Something inside him felt light, he felt contented and he felt......... Better?

          Had the decision of accepting the fact that he was going to die in 3 months made him feel better? Was death what he needed? Something welled up inside him. It was strange and at first he tried to hold it down, but it felt wrong to hold it down, he let it out.

          What came out was a large and bright smile, he spread his arms like he was embracing the skies. He smiled, wider and wider, he felt glee and felt happier and happier. He dropped his arms and ran out of school grounds to the market where he ran around happily, he began spreading positivity to everyone he saw, complimenting everyone, helping old ladies cross the street.

         If you could see him, you'd smile at such happiness. But you would frown if you knew why he was so happy.

The moon was full and out, Rin sat at the empty playground, sitting on the swings, swinging himself happily, feeling like a child again. All these years.... All this torment.... Was this trial perhaps his only release? Was the heavens rewarding him for accepting that he was going to die by giving him this burst of carefree and happy energy?

He didn't know if that was true, but he was way too happy at the moment to care. Might as well burn some energy before returning to the dorms. Rin stopped swinging and just looked at the moon.

He was content, he closed his eyes and thought about nothing but this moment. But then, a voice broke him out of his happy moment.

"The hell are you doing out?"

Rin didn't need to open his eyes or move a muscle to know that voice anywhere, it was none other than Bon himself. Rin decided to ignore him and not allow this rooster to ruin his good say, and his good 3 months left of life.

        But Bon began walking up to Rin, maybe as an attempt to make him look at him. Rin felt that he was approaching, if it was a week ago, Rin would've just sat there and allowed whatever was going to happen happen.
