Yukio smiled sadly at the man,he could understand why he said it wasn't as easy as before.But he didn't respond to it anymore,understanding seemed enough.As they quieted down,the male heard some whispers in the huge room but couldn't really heard what were the inaudible voices were saying.

But then as Rin turned around with such anger in his eyes and yelled that,it was clear what the people were saying.A small gasp even escaped Yukio's lips as he realized that this would not end good.Nothing ended well after those light blue flames were showing.

And yet,a deep frown formed on his own face.How dare they? They don't know him,Rin didn't need this crap.Yukio knew how much his brother hated being called that.

Yukio ran up to Rin but then stopped before completely approaching him. " N-Nii-san!" he called out for him. He said it.Yukio finally said it again.

Rin was raging as he looked at the couple. He wasn't attempting to scare or hurt them he just couldn't control the rising anger he had that as a kid a lot. Unfortunately the only one that was able to calm him down was his foster father.

Rin growled once again as he took a few steps closer to the people. "What do you even think about calling me a demon? I am nothing like that." He tried to reason as the flames started to get more intense.

Just at that moment he heard a familiar voice calling out to him. His head started to hurt slightly as he turned his gaze to the source, Yukio. Spotting his brother the pain started to get worse and without really meaning to Rin pushed his brother away from him with enough force to make him crash in the nearby row of banks.

Rin's eyes widened as the pain started to pound in his ears. Holding his head he sunk to his knees and cried out in pain. It seemed as though he was fighting his demon self though he couldn't do it on his own.

Yukio cried out as he fell down,he even hurt his arm,his jacket even got a bit ripped but the male instantly stood back up and approached his brother again. "Nii-san!" he shouted out once more.

Seeing his sibling holding his head,he could tell that it was hurting,Rin needed to calm down,he needed to. Without any more thinking Yukio got even closer to his brother and quickly and even tightly wrapped his arms around him,refusing to let go.

Because of some carelessly said words his brother had to wear that angry expression on his face again. "Nii-san...please...Nii-san,Nii-san..." Yukio pleaded,he kept calling Rin that.It was not some strategy to make the male snap out of it,at this point Yukio was just like a kid who wanted his 'big' brother back.

Rin bit his lip hard as the pain got worse. He didn't mean to hurt his brother though he couldn't help it. It was getting on his nerves that he still couldn't fully control that side of him. How was he supposed to show everyone that he was not like the other demons when he got like that.

Rin groaned as his grip on his head tightened but soon he heard the voice of his brother again. It was getting closer and louder each time. It sounded comforting and it made Rin see a light at the end of the dark tunnel.

Groaning once more as he felt the hug of his brother and his repeating calls the flames started to get smaller and vanished after a while. Rin blinked a few times as tears started to gather in his eyes while he still was embraced by Yukio. "....Y-yukio....I-I'm sorry...." He mumbled hugging him back and pressing his face on his younger brother's shoulder as the tears started to stream down his face.

Yukio felt as his brother's body rested against him as he calmed down.He couldn't help but to smile to himself,his 'big' brother was back. "...Nii-san..." he said once more,softly and silently.

He then slowly lowered one of his hands and began to slowly rub his brother's back,hoping to calm him.Even if he was pushed by him,he wasn't angry at all,it meant nothing to him.The aquamarine eyed male could feel the other's body slightly shake from crying. "Nii-san...it's okay..." he told him softly.

It seemed that Yukio had forgotten that those people and the monks were still there,and watching this scene no less. "You're not a demon." Yukio said simply but then remembered and then slowly separated from Rin,turning to everyone,keeping a straight posture and a stern look on his face he added. "And nobody has the right to say otherwise." he stated firmly.

One wouldn't guess that Yukio would be the one to 'confront' someone but right now,he was sticking up for his 'big' brother.Of course he was angry that people said such things.Even if it was the truth,no one had the right to just go on and say such things.Not here,not now.

Rin smiled softly as he felt the soft touch of his brother's hand. Yukio was doing a fantastic job in calming him down again. He didn't knew that he would be able to do that but he was glad to have found that out. It might be helpful to know that his younger sibling can calm him back down.

Rin nodded softly as he pressed himself more against his brother not wanting to look up and see anyone beside him. Still some tears would stream down his cheeks but they were less than before.

To be honest Rin was surprised that Yukio would stand up for him like that. It made him feel so happy. Knowing that his brother was there beside him, just with him. "T-thanks." The older boy mumbled as he pulled back a bit ans smiled softly with a slightly red face that resulted of the crying.

Yukio didn't wait much to get a response from anyone,soon after he heard Rin mumble and turned back to him,smiling softly. "Nii-san...let's go to our room now..." he requested then actually took the other's hand and leaded him.He didn't want to cause any more scenes and he hoped that the monks would talk to those people.

They quietly walked to the house part of the building and headed upstairs straight to their room,nothing was out of place and everything was in the same condition as it was left. Once in the room Yukio turned to Rin and asked in a calm tone. "Nii-san,how are you feeling?" he was concerned since earlier his brother's head seemed to hurt a lot. Yukio had forgotten about his own hand.

Rin just nodded as he let himself be pulled up and to their room. It hadn't changed at all and the nostalgic feeling was rather nice too. He looked around noticing that it was like not a single person was here all the time they were staying at the academy.

Rin sighed softly as he looked at his brother and then at their still locked hands. "U-um first of all you can let go of me now...A-and feeling better again. I'm sorry I couldn't control myself anymore." The older boy tried to explain feeling his cheeks redden in embarrassment and shame. He didn't want it and he knew that he was not only damaging his own but his brother's status as well.

Yukio instantly let go of his brother's hand as he was reminded that he was still holding it but surprisingly,Yukio blinked in a naive way as he looked straight at Rin and calmly asked. "Does my touch bother Nii-san?" he asked such a question so casually,so straight forward.

He then took off his jacket,noticing the ripped fabric but he said of it.Still waiting for his answer.

Rin looked as his brother let go of him before he looked back at the younger boy's face. His eyes widened as he was surprised hearing his brother's question. "W-what!? No...I-I don't hate it at all....I-I was just um....e-embarrassed." He admitted his cheeks turning a dark red.

That conversation made him unwillingly think of the times of his punishment. If what more like he was feeling ashamed to feel so good to be touched by his brother, or in the former case be punished by his brother.

Rin's eyes widened softly as he saw the ripped fabric. "O-oh no! I-Is that my fault?" He instantly asked feeling bad. "D-did you get hurt anywhere?" he then added looking concerned.
