Chapter 18

Rin didn't know how long he went through that sheer torment but it felt like an eternity. He felt like he was going bat nuts crazy…

'Hmm!? I can move!'

Rin suddenly felt the pain subside and was also slowly losing that tired feeling that was haunting him constantly and soon he was at peace.

Meanwhile in a top secret room somewhere underground....…..

"Are you telling me that one of our top onmyouji betrayed us?'

"Hah! I just knew he wasn't the trustable type. Look! Betrayed us the moment we gave him a chance."

"It was so obvious the way he conducted himself, this is why we must always keep tabs on those who aren't from noble houses!"

"Bullshit! Isn't it because of old geezers like you who smothered those who aren't from 'noble houses' to act out this way!"

The room was unsettled by the sudden report given by Vernon and the blame game started going on which Vernon couldn't care less about.

He wasn't below any of these men so he walked out without a word.

It wasn't his first time doing so, thus the rest just ignored his behavior and started their own propaganda.

Vernon did however leave out that the devotees wanted to recruit the young lad. Who knew if those stupid people would do something drastic against the young lad so he kept his mouth shut and his surbodinates who survived did as well.

Thinking of the young lad he didn't know what the devotee liked about him but Vernon did observe him a little and his mettle for his age was great. There wasn't a single hint of panic on his face the entire fight and he observed that Rin had a great sense for reading the battle.

Vernon decided he would pay a little visit to the young lad soon enough.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rin opened his weary eyes only to see himself inside an unfamiliar room.

His body felt cold but strangely one of his hands was strangely warm. He turned his head to see a hand covering his.

The hand was incredibly warm and very familiar? Rin couldn't place where he saw this hand before, it certainly wasn't his sister's he would recognize it anywhere. Definitely not his father's duh.

The person in question had their head down so Rin couldn't guess at their identity but it was easy to tell the hand belonged to a girl but he couldn't recall anyone he was this close with?

There were certainly girls who tried to associate with him during training but they somehow stopped after a while so he can't be said to be close to many girls. (A/N: Yes there's something in the background making sure of that. FInd out later~)

Rin didn't want to wake that person up so he stayed quiet but he found that his skin was much paler than normal. After all under the artificial sun system he had been a little tanned so this paleness was really abnormal.

Like a person who never ventured under the sun, much like a vampire that was how Rin looked like.

While he was dazed his communicator started to ring.

To his surprise and horror it was his little sister.
