(Rin's pov)

Today Iblis is going to train me to use my powers since he also has fire powers, Egyn came along too, he said it's just in case anything accidentally catches on fire or gets burnt down. Amaimon came to watch since he said he was bored, and Beele came along too, I don't know why, he just seems to enjoy following me around a lot. At first I found it creepy, but now I'm starting to enjoy the company, it's a very nice change.

Sometimes I wish I had more time alone though. Yesterday Beele came to check up on me and he caught me... Self harming. He got really mad at me. It was scary. His yellow eyes turned red and everything.

I asked for my sword, but they told me that it got destroyed on the trip here. They promised to get me a new sword though. They even said they would make me a new one that could harness my flames.

I've only been here for half a day. But I kind of like it here, my brothers seem to be nice, over protective, but nice. Amaimon and Beelzebub follow me around a lot.

Right now they're watching me whiles Iblis and Egyn train me. Azazel left back to his kingdom, he said that he only came to visit me, Astaroth said that Satan...or father, was sending him on a mission.

"Alright Rin, ready to learn how to control your flames?"

"Huh? But I already learned how. Shura taught me."

"Pfft! That human?!" He let out a booming laugh, it gave me chills. "That human is incapable of training someone with your power." He suddenly became serious. "So, are you ready to get started?"

"I guess so...."

"You guess so? A prince must have confidence! You must never second guess yourself, because doing so can get you killed in battle. And we wouldn't want that to happen, now would we?" His tone of voice suddenly became very dark which made me want to crawl into a hole and hide there.

"Now answer my question properly, are you ready?"

I gulped down the lump in my throat.

"Yes sir." I said trying to sound confident.

He snickered and started the lesson. "Today we are going to start small. I am going to teach you how to hold in your flames. This is to keep from bursting into flames when it is unnecessary. Not knowing how to contain your flames can quickly cause a disastrous situation if you become too worked up. Do you understand what I am saying?"

I nodded my head.

"Good, now do exactly as I tell you to."

~At the Cram School~

Class had already started, Yukio took the attendance.

"Kamiki Izumo"

She raised her hand.

"Konekomaru Miwa"

"Present"

"Nemu Takara"

"Here." The puppet said.

" Shiemi Moriyama"

"H-here" she said softly.

"Shima Renzou"

"Here."

"Suguro Ryuji"

"Here."

"Rin Okumura"

No one answered.

"Rin?" He let out an irritated sigh and marked him absent.

"The demon's not here. Thank god." He said the last part only to his small group of friends.

"What should I expect? He's always late." Yukio said with an irritated tone of voice. "Now, shall we begin with the lesson?"

~time skip~

Class was almost over and Rin hadn't showed up at all.

Some of the students, specifically Shiemi, Izumo, and Shima, wondered where he was, the others couldn't care less about his whereabouts, and honestly they were glad that he hadn't showed up.

( 3 days later)

"U-um, does anyone know where Rin is?" Shiemi asked softly.

"The idiot probably skipped again." Bon said crossing his arms.

"For three whole days?" Izumo said.

Class was half over and again Rin hadn't shown up, Shiemi, Shura and surprisingly Izumo too, were starting to worry, but no one else seemed to be.

"Who cares anyway? He's the son of Satan." He said the name with venom. "He doesn't belong here."

"Y-yeah, Rin's dangerous, a-and unstable. He could've gotten m-mad at us and killed us with h-his flames." (A/n: does this sentence even grammatically make sense?!)

"So you mean to tell me that you treat Rin horribly for months, then he walks out of the classroom upset, disappears for almost four days, and none of you are even the slightest bit worried?" It was unlike Izumo to show that she cared for anyone, so this took them by surprise. No one responded. "Wow, that's nice to hear."

(Izumo's p.o.v)

I may not seem like it, but I'm actually starting to worry about Rin.

Rin saved me and Paku from that demon that attacked us, I'm a horrible friend, I couldn't even save her myself. Rin also saved us from Amaimon and the Impure King, and I appreciate it. He's all nice, and stupid, but mostly nice. Bon and the others treated him like crap, and he looked upset when he suddenly walked out out of the class. He just suddenly left, calmly, and without any noise. It shocked us all.

He hasn't been here in 3 days and no one seems to know where he is or care that he might be missing. Not even Mr. Okumura seems to care, and Rin's his brother!

I don't really like Rin that much, but he's my friend, sort of, I guess. And all of this just seems so... Wrong. That he's missing and no one cares but Shura and I, they actually appear to be relieved that he's not here. I get that's he's the son of Satan, but come on, even Yukio? Isn't he Rin's twin, meaning that he is also half demon? That's kind of messed up.

(Yukio's p.o.v)

Rin hasn't showed up for three days now.
Class has been quieter and I am actually able to get through lessons without any interruption. It has been nice. I have actually been able to get more sleep because he's not around to bother me.

Life is good. Finally.

I can't help but wonder where he had gone though. My curiosity is beginning to get the best of me. I hadn't seen him for three days. The downside to him leaving is that now there is no one to cook for me or go down to the market for more groceries since Rin is gone and Ukobach refuses to do his job. Kuro and the kurikara have also disappeared out of the blue. I'm starting to miss the little guy. He was fathers familiar, I wonder what the Cat sidhe even saw in Rin anyways.

Rin can't be gone forever though, he always comes back, like an annoying weed you can't get rid of. He's so loud and ignorant too. However, it's not quite the same without him around. But I should get used to the silence before he comes back to ruin it.

I continue with teaching the lesson about different kinds of temp taints and how to treat them.

(Bon's p.o.v)

The demon didn't show up for three days, he probably just skipped class, that or he finally got the hint, packed up his stuff and left True Cross. Part of me hopes that he doesn't come back. Me and my friends are safer here without him anyways. The son of Satan shouldn't even be becoming an exorcist, it's messed up. Heck, the son of Satan shouldn't even be allowed to live. He's a threat to all of our well beings.

Class is really quiet without him though, only proves that he caused most of the chaos. After he left, things started to become more calm and normal. Less demons attack us, only lower level demons we get sent on missions to exterminate now.

The only bad part about him being gone is that people all over school are talking about where he could've gone. Some people say that he dropped out of school or flunked out because of his bad grades. Other people think extreme things like he joined a gang or fled Japan to run from the police because he committed some terrible crime or something like that. All of the made up reasons for him being gone sound stupid and unrealistic. I can't lie though, sometimes I get a little curious about where the idiot went to.

(Konekomaru's p.o.v)

Everyone's wondering where Okumura has gone to. I am too.

Even though he's gone, I haven't been able to have peace at mind. Ever since I found out  about his flames, the same ones that killed my mother and father, Shima's brother, and many others. I hadn't been able to sleep well at night. How are you supposed to relax when the son of Satan is in your school? He's out of control, we all have seen him loose control, he can burst into flames and burn us to death at any given moment! He always carries around that sword too, which only makes him more of a threat. He has demonic powers AND weapons. I should be able to rest knowing that he's not here, but I can't. He's just gone. No one knows where he is, he can be anywhere, possibly plotting his attack! The only way I can have peace at mind is knowing that he is gone for good, or that they finally managed to contain him and control his power. Only then can I have a good nights rest. Bon seems to be happy he is gone, Shima looks worried about him for whatever reason, but I'm more scared than ever before.

(Shiemi's p.o.v)

I wonder where Rin is. He has been gone for three days. He won't answer any of my phone calls, nor does Yuki-chan know where he is. I don't know how Yuki can be so calm about Rin's disappearance. I feel kind of bad. I ignored Rin when he needed me the most, I promised I would do better back in Kyoto, but I betrayed my promise.

I just didn't know how to talk to him, ever since I saw them take Rin away, I didn't know what to say to him to make the situation better. So I just avoided him. I am a terrible friend! And Rin was my very first friend! The only way I can make this right is to find out where he has gone to and apologize!

It was nearly time for class to end so Yuki dismissed us early. No one else seems to mind that Rin is gone. Except for maybe miss Kamiki and miss Kirigakure, but they don't appear to be looking for Rin either. How will I be able to find him all on my own?

I tried to write a sad story... But I'm too apathetic and emotionless to write one 😕.

In Steven Universe, I'm Lapis... Or Buck Dewy.
