"Th-there was n-nothing you c-could do," I whispered.
Present
"I wish there was," Kakashi said.
"Th-they d-didn't kn-know," I stuttered.
"You didn't know," Kakashi said softly.
"I kn-know," I whispered.
"Try not to dwell on it," Asmodeus said.
"Y-you th-think I w-want to?" I asked.
"No, I don't. I have seen how you get lost in that head of yours," he said.
"What you see is not always what is true," I growled, surprised at how strong my voice had become.
"I am well aware," Asmodeus growled.
"I would like to think so, Prince," I snapped. He growled lowly in response as well as warning.
"Be careful, Kit," Kurama warned.
"Why? Can't he take a simple mention of a title?" I questioned.
"What would you know of titles?" Asmodeus growled dangerously.
"More than you would think," I replied.
"Name one," he challenged.
"Does 'abomination' work for you? Or would 'monster' work better? Or how about 'worthless little slut' Asmodeus? Pick whichever you like best," I spat.
"Who said that?" Kakashi asked lowly.
"What does it matter?"
"Give me a name, Rin," he demanded.
"Hera," I replied.
"Why would sh--" Kurama started.
"She hated me more than anything. If it wasn't for knowing my birth parents, she would have let me die a long, long time ago. There is no changing her," I said, cutting him off.
"You have not given up so easily before," Asmodeus said coolly.
"I gave up on trying to change her when she stole my magic," I replied.
"That's a violation of the Law," Kurama whispered.
"Not if it was an order from the Council," I replied.
"She was ordered to steal your magic?" Kakashi growled.
"She was ordered to torture me. What happened during that time was up to her discretion," I replied.
"I'll kill her," Asmodeus snarled.
"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, my dear," I said softly.
"You will let her live after what she did?" He growled.
"I will let her live because I will receive another title I have never wanted if I kill her," I snapped.
"So it's all about you, huh?" Asmodeus scoffed.
"What difference does it make?" I asked.
"You would rather save yourself than the people here. It's pitiful," he said.
"What is pitiful about wanting to stay alive?" I asked. Asmodeus gave a dry laugh.
"You care more about the ones that are lesser than you than you do your own people. They aren't your family," he said.
"They're the only family I have left!" I yelled, turning to look at him.
"Those things aren't your blood," he said dully.
