Cassandra flinched as the shot was fired, hissing out a breath. It sounded very loud to her, and she shot a glare at ren, even though she knew, somewhere, deep down, that he was doing it to help.

But right now, she didn't see it.. As the Naberuis was hit with the bullet, Cassandra swooped in, slashing it with her blade, aiming for any vulnerable points, just as Lorenzo attacked it as well. Cassandra didn't know what help she was, but the Naberuis was taken down.

And then it seemed to become a fight to keep herself under control. She knew she had to let go of the sword, to sheath it, but she found that she couldn't do it, that as she tried to move her arm over her shoulder to sheath the blade, some part of her forced her to keep it where it was, and she looked around the room, the flames dancing over her skin, around her.

She let out a sob, "I'm sorry" She whispered as her eyes, feral and maddening, landed on her classmates and Oliva. She took three kick steps towards them, clearly out of control, but before she could do more, there was a thwack, and a thud as Lorenzo fell to the ground. The sight of his blood shook her, and she gasped, her fingers loosening on the blade, she let out a scream that hurt her throat, vibrating through her throat and chest, and managed to shoved the sword in the sheath.

She feel to the ground, dropping her head in her hands, shaking, shuddering and sobbing. "i'm sorry" She whispered again, her voice breaking with emotion.

Kiddo was in shock, he didn't know what was happening. It all happened so fast, in the blink of an eye. He wanted to help but found himself unable to. He wasn't scared, he knew that for sure. He wanted to help his friends and it made him mad he couldn't. Kiddo Wanted to run off and hide, he was pissed and ashamed he didn't help at all. Kiddo felt tears build up in his eyes. He forced them back and finally moved forward. He walked to Cassandra who seemed to be crying and muttering. "There is nothing to be sorry for". Kiddo spoke while crouching next to Cassandra. He didn't understand why she was crying, she took down the Naberuis and that was good Kiddo thought. I must be missing something. Kiddo thought to himself as he tried to comfort Cassandra.

Relief rushed through Ren as he saw his shot hadn't hit his friends, and that it connected with the demon they were fighting. He watched the siblings take it out with their swords. He cheered when he saw it vanish. Thank god that things finally out of the way! He thought walking towards the two, demons or not, they were his friends, or so he thought.

Lorenzo and Cassandra looked like they were struggling, he wasn't sure with what. But each motion was jerky, uncontrolled. Like they were trying to stay still, but couldn't. He neared them and caught eyes with them. Oh god. Dread. It enveloped him. Their eyes....their eyes are... But he couldn't find the words. All he could see was hatred, and rage in the siblings eyes as they gleamed at him with murderous intent. He stopped at that moment, and contemplated running, but fear overtook him. The same paralysis that he had just experienced moments before had occurred again, but this time, there was nothing standing between him and the danger. But just as he thought he would surely die, Lorenzo's eyes changed. He then brought his head to the floor as fast and hard as he could, it seemed to affect Cassandra as well because not soon after she collapsed into a ball of tears and sorrow.

What do I do? He thought to himself. Do I help her? Do I get someone for Lorenzo? Or do i kill them? He wasn't sure, and a mistake here could cost him everything. While thinking he noticed Kiddo moving towards Cassandra. You idiot! What the hell are you thinking! He wanted to scream, but he wouldn't make a sound. He just watched, and nothing seemed to happen. I can't believe I doubted them.

They're still your friends Ren, get over there and help out. So he did. Walking over to Cassandra and stopping next to her. He said ,"Hey, no time to cry now. You're brother needs help. Let's get going." While reaching out his hand to help her up. "Like Kiddo said, you don't have to be sorry." He gave her a smile.

Cassandra knew she had awoken her demonic side. She knew what she had done. She had changed everything. She had always had slightly pointed ears, nothing no one would really notice unless they were looking for it, but now...she didn't meet Kiddo's or Rens eyes, flinching away from their touch.

She didn't want to see the fear or horror she was sure must be there, didn't want to see the pity or revulsion. She didn't want to see the acknowledgement that she was a monster. She wasn't aware she was on her feet when Ren pulled her up, but she shied away from them.

Her roaming eyes, trying not to even look at Kiddo or Ren, saw Lorenzo, bleeding. She stumbled over to him, kneeling down, tracing her fingers over the wound, feeling that it wasn't too serious. "Idiot" she muttered, putting pressure on the cut. "Head wounds always bleed a lot" she said absently, ripping stripes out of her jackets underlining and using it it to bandage the wound. "His heads hard. He will be fine"

And then she couldn't take it anymore, knowing her brother would be awake, she fled the training room, running through the school and to their dorm room. She slammed the door shut, and threw herself on her bed, ripping her glove off in the process.

Lorenzo took a few moments before he finally reach consciousness opening his eyes then covering them under the light of the light bulbs on the ceiling before his eyes adjusted and he slowly sat up going to feel his head but first feeling a fabric already on it seeing the end that it was part of his sisters shirt he sighed softly knowing what she must be feeling right now since she finally awoke her demon nature. What Lorenzo did was quick thinking but seeing as how the room was still intact he guessed that his sister nor him went on a complete rampage, which was a good thing considering they killed their target and hurt none of their friends in the process. To Lorenzo that was a win win even if his head got cut in the process. he looked to see ren and Olivia staring at him and Lorenzo sighed softly as he grabbed both his and his sisters swords before turning to rin and kiddo and telling them what they should have learned long ago "im sorry you had to see us like that. believe me what happened was only in defense of you and of ourselves. Right now I need to go and comfort my sister and teach her what someone should have taught me. if your not afraid of us and we can still be friends come to our room later so we can talk it out." Lorenzo told his classmates before turning to Olivia and saying " I think you understand that we will count this as a sick day for me and my sister" Lorenzo said bowing deeply in apology before he ran off to go and talk to his sister and once he reached their room he simply sat on the bed with her waiting for her to talk to her big brother about what she was feeling. he knew she was feeling scared and hated by everyone or something to that extent, finally feeling ones self go into a demon rage is a horrifying experience that Lorenzo knows well and can explain more to her or at least more then she knows on the subject...

Before he even got a word in those two both managed to run off. I guess I'm gonna have to stop by their room later... since it's just us three maybe it'd be a good time to talk to Olivia about this whole situation.

"Hey Professor, you said they were demons.. what exactly did you mean? Like, are they dangerous? Or are there good demons too?" He ranted. After a brief pause he put his hands to his head and slumped down. "I'm just so confused, I have no idea what's going on." So much had happened, it was hard to process all of it at once. His friends burst into flames, a demon attacking them all, and then they run off without a half decent explanation. It was enough to drive anyone crazy if they looked too deep. He needed to know the full story. "I'm sorry about earlier, by the way. I just thought you were in danger. I didn't know."

Kiddo nodded as Lorenzo talked and ran off to be with his sister. "Ma'am, if it isn't to much trouble do you mind if I take the rest of the day off? I think Ren, Lorenzo, Cassandra and me need to talk about somethings". Before Olivia even had time to answer Kiddo was walking out of the room, he waved a good bye and shouted behind him, "Send my homework to my room please, and since I'm leaving early if you see it fit please send extra work. I'll be happy to do it, thank you ma'am".

Kiddo left the room and went back to his dorm, he opened his desk and pulled out some money. He counted it, $500, that is enough to buy me some new clothes and maybe something for the siblings. Kiddo thought to himself as he was exiting the dorm building. He walked down the streets looking for shops to buy things in. The shops were very nice but way to expensive, but finally he found a small thrift shop. Kiddo liked thrift stories and shops that sold old objects. Old objects showed history and that's why Kiddo liked them.

The thrift shop was filled with old things like the lady behind the counter, old clothes and CDs. Kiddo made his way the back of the store hoping to find something cool, he had very good luck when it came to finding amazing objects. He did find the sword didn't he. After digging around for awhile in an old bin of clothes Kiddo felt something hard and cold. He began to pull it out of the small grey bin. When the shining metal of the blade hit the light of the store it shimmered a crystal blue color.Kiddo had pulled out a small dagger. The blade a light blue and the handle was a crimson red. The dagger had no hilt or pommel, just a handle and blade. Kiddo dug more and found the sheath for the dagger. The sheath was a crimson red and the metal the held the wood together was black. It was a weird dagger but Kiddo liked it. He was thinking he could hold his sword with one hand in his right hand and the dagger upside down in his left, using the dagger to block and attack when needed.

Kiddo bought the dagger and left the store, he went to a couple more stores only to buy a shirt that said I'm fine with a blood stain on the right of the shirt (Might not work), a gold ring and glove for Ren, a necklace and backpack for Cassandra and a book about fire arms and a 9MM for Lorenzo. It was miracle to convince the store owner to even let him buy the gun. Kiddo had to spend more money then it was worth.

opening the dorm building doors he walked into his rrom and sat the dagger down, he then sat his sword down with it. He left school to buy gifts about 4 hours ago. Hopefully they are okay to talk know. Kiddo thought to himself as he walked down the all to Lorenzo and Cassandra's dorm. He then softly knocked on the door. "It's me Kiddo, you said to stop by". He noted speaking through the door.

Oliva sighed, turning to Ren as the two left. "The world instant black and white Ren. The world has a shade of gray, and that's what those to are. A shade of gray. Born to a human mother, seperated at birth, and born to a demon father. When they draw their swords, they can't control themselves at times. What they did here...it took a massive act of will to stop themselves. You won't ever be able to understand it." She said, sighing "yes, I'd say today is over for you all" she said, watching kiddo leave. "Go"

---

Cassandra was aware of Lorenzo sitting by her, but she didn't respond. She was sure there would be disappointment in his eyes, and she didn't want to see that. She just wanted to sink into the mattress, never to be seen again. She could feel her canines, larger then before, and that discouraged her.

She flicked the tail that had appear due to the awakening without much thought. It unnerved her, and she let out a soft whimper. She burrowed further into the covers, wanting the darkness to over take her. IBut it didn't. She knew she could have hurt the others, and that made her feel utterly and completely like a monster.

"Nothing you say is going to make me feel better, Lorenzo" she said eventually, groaning as Kiddo spoke through the door. She stayed where she was, leaving it up to Lorenzo whether or not to answer kiddo

im not going to tell you that its going to be better. Cassandra once you drew your sword you knew what would happen, im not planning to make you feel better but I am planning to give you the guidance I never could. now that your awakened you still looking the part of the demon and you will need to cover up. you also cant leave your sword anywhere either cause now it has your flames and spirit in it." Lorenzo said placing her sword next to her sighing a little "Cassandra our life isn't going to be easy but what we can do is prove it wont keep us from doing what we want to do. were going to be exorcists and prove that just because were part demon doesn't mean we are evil, it just means we can do the greatest good" Lorenzo said hearing the knocking on the door and he sighed a little getting up to see kiddo "hey kiddo, thanks for coming" Lorenzo said ushering him over to Lorenzo's bed so he could keep his distance from an emotional Cassandra

'No problem, I mean we are friends right? I went into town and I know presents aren't going to help anything really but I bought everybody something". Kiddo spoke while entering the room and handing Lorenzo the book and the empty 9MM. The gun rest on top of the book with the camber open. Kiddo sat Cassandra's presents on the night stand. "When do you think Ren will get here? I got him one of those gloves he was talking about and a ring. Not much, but it's something". Kiddo asked wile looking at Lorenzo. Kiddo didn't want to over stay his welcome because the two seemed like they wanted to be left alone for a while longer, "if you want me to leave just tell me". He noted sitting down in a chair.

Ah... so they must all be here already. He'd heard three voices through Lorenzo and Cassandra's door. It had to be them. Olivia didn't answer anything.. hopefully these two will give me something. He'd been contemplating even coming, but in the end, his curiosity won him over. He knocked on the door and announced himself,"Hey! Guys, it's Ren. C'mon let me in! I know Kiddo's already there." Might as well act happy, don't need to make Cassandra uneasy. But the truth was that he was nervous. Not just that, but he was unsure of his two friends. They were demons after all. A part of him might not be able to let that go, even with constant reminders that these two were nothing but nice to him, that look they gave off. The pure evil, demented, hate filled glare they had given him, was too much to forget, or even let go of.

"You guys gonna make me wait all day?!" He exclaimed. Best not to let them know I think any differently.

Lorenzo sighed a little already hearing the loud noises of ren wanting in. it was the same tactic Lorenzo saw when his fake parents saw him in his demon form for the first time as they acted like nothing changed but in reality everything did. Lorenzo knew nothing would be the same but in the end they started to simply avoid Lorenzo for fear he would go berserk on them. Lorenzo went to the door and put on a fake smile at ren "nice to meet you big guy, just sit over in my chair" Lorenzo said wanting to make sure that both kiddo and ren were on one side of the room while Lorenzo and Cassandra could be on the other.

Lorenzo waited till they were both sitting down before starting the explanation " me and Cassandra are not demons, at least not fully" Lorenzo said as he took his tail out of his pants to emphasis his point "we only have demon blood and as a result we both have tails, large ears, and canines. however like you both just saw when we release our demon blades that hold our flames we go berserk and to be honest for me it took giving myself a concussion to not try to destroy the school. when we go berserk our demon blood boils and sends us into a furry with me it makes me feel, well, happy and laughing that borders on psychotic. Cassandra will have to tell you what she feels like when her flames our loose but I feel I demonstrated my point already. I know this isn't easy to accept but we aren't different, we are still Lorenzo and Cassandra its just when we draw our swords that's when you guys need to keep your distance. I understand if you guys want to avoid us and switch classes cause I really cant blame you, but you guys are the ones that actually made me feel normal and it would hurt to loose that." Lorenzo said softly waiting for Cassandra to speak up or for ren and kiddo to say something

Cassandra sighed and she shook her head as Lorenzo spoke about 'covering up'. She hadn't left her sword laying about since she had taken it from her father's body, so that was easily done.She forced herself to sit up when Kiddo entered, but she didn't put her glove back on. They already knew what she was, so why hide it? She blinked when Kiddo said he'd brought them something, and she bit her lip. But she had never been able to resist a present, and she snatched them off the night stand quickly, and retreated back to her bed as if she was a scared animal. She stared at the backpack and necklace, lose for words. And then Ren knocked on the door as if he was ready to knock it down, and her lips twitched in a smile. He was like a bull in a china store.

But she sighed as Lorenzo spoke to Kiddo and Ren, and she looked away, her face heating up, still unwilling to meet their gazes. "I feel out of control, and I don't like it" She said softly, shaking slightly. "but if I didn't, the Naberuis would have attacked us all. And we wouldn't be here" She stared at her hands, both bare.

Kiddo saw Ren walk in, Kiddo was starting to like Ren more and more everyday. "Hey Ren, I got you a present" he said as he handed Ren the golden glove and ring. "it's not much but I thought it was nice". Kiddo felt an uneasy feeling through out the room, like everybody was upset and unwilling to talk about anything. Kiddo was okay with his friends being half demons, he saw no problem with it. They save lives and he was thankful for that. They were good and Kiddo understood that. He just wished everybody else did too..

Cassandra let out a heavy sigh, and looked up at Ren and Kiddo, wrapping her blankets around herself, the necklace curled protectively in one hand. "I'm here to get revenge on the monster that killed my mother and step father. Because the monster wanted me, my parents were killed. An exorcist was waiting for me, to see if I was the one that did it, killed them. My step father was an exorcist, sent to watch over me and protect me. And he was killed because of that" she sighed.

She looked to her sword, shuddering slightly "i took his sword and I came here. I'm not going to be a monster. But I'm scared I'm going to hurt someone" she said, her voice getting softer and softer. "Please don't let me hurt anyone" she looked to them all, eyes wide

Lorenzo looked to his little sister feeling like she was like him not long ago. so very scared to turn into the monster that was part of the flames she had. Lorenzo gently put his hand on Cassandra's head gently and petted her hair softly giving her a comforting smile "don't worry sis, while im around Ill make sure you wont hurt anyone and that nobody will hurt you for being you" Lorenzo said softly knowing that people will always look down on him and his sister and will gladly kill them both if they had the chance but Lorenzo would happily give his life if it meant his sister would be able to change what the world thinks about demons. like anyone else we were capable of both great good and great evil because we border on both Lorenzo only hoped he could make sure he lives to show that great good could be found in those with evil in their veins as he pet Cassandra's hair gently hoping to calm her down and let her feel safe around him

Cassandra made a face as Lorenzo petted her. She nodded, deciding to just let it go, not wanting to continue with the thought that went through her head. "I know" She said softly. She let out a soft sigh, and put the necklace on, and found her glove, putting that back on. She ran her ungloved hand through her hair, and wriggled out of the blankets. "Okay" She said, "Lets go outside"

She didn't even know if they could get outside, but she wanted fresh air. She wanted to be outside, and to feel the sun on her skin. She strapped her blade to her back, and looked around at them all.

"Man, you seem like you want to be any place but here. What are we all going to do outside, it looks like it's about to rain." Kiddo stated with a puzzled look while cassandra stood up and strapped her blade on her back. It being early in the day and the clouds growing grey and the sky turning a light shade of black made Kiddo believe it was going to rain. Of course he could be wrong. Actually Kiddo was wrong most the time, he guessed it was just his luck.

Luck was something Kiddo had when it came to somethings like, finding amazing objects in shops and winning things. But, when it came to guessing he was wrong 9-10 times. It didn't make him mad. Kiddo knew it was just life.

Kiddo stood up and opened the door for his friends. He wanted to stop by his dorm and get some money and his weapons just in case he need them. His friends left the room and Kiddo shut the door behind him, he tried the knob making sure Lorenzo or Cassandra locked it. It was locked. "I'll be down in a minute. I'm going to grab somethings from my room." Kiddo went back to his room and put his sword on his back, He switched into his new shirt because his old one needed washed and then he strapped the dagger to his black leather belt. Then he made his way to the doors leading outside, he arrived there and saw his friends waiting for him.

Lorenzo sighed a little grabbing the book the kiddo got him and putting it on his bed as he got the 9mm and loaded the gun just in case as he walked outside with Cassandra to the rooftop. why she wanted to go top side he didn't know but he wasn't going to argue about it considering she was the one who was traumatized the most by this event so Lorenzo just had to be supportive for the time being and it seemed like kiddo was the one who was really accepting this fact about him and his sister but ren....well he was still unknown considering that Lorenzo know the feel and look of a fake smile and hiding behind what once was and what is. Lorenzo didn't bother with putting his tail back in his pants anymore considering that their friends knew now so Lorenzo asked Cassandra "why do you want to go outside?"

The information piled on Ren in the last few moments was an immesne amount, almost too much to take in. He was schocked, shocked that they'd hide something so dangerous from them. He understood why of course, but it still seemed selfish to withhold. He needed to think about everything, so he sat and listened, intensely and focused on every word. He wanted to understand the entire situation, not just what they said. For all I know they could still be lying. He hoped they weren't, but he couldn't be too careful in a situation with half demons, or whatever those two were. They're friends Ren. Just friends. A slight frown hit his usual smiling face. It just can't ever be easy can it. My first real friends... and they end up lying and endangering me, and Kiddo, AND Olivia. Well... maybe not her... she seemed to know about it. Wait. The realization hit him. Olivia had known as well. Why hadn't their teacher informed them of this danger. He needed to bring it up to her in private, sometime soon.

"Why do you want to go outside?" He heard Lorenzo say. Outside? The clouds were gloomy, so he thought it was a strange idea. He never really liked the outdoors besides when the sun was shining. This might be a good oppertunity. If they went outside, he could go talk to Olivia, he needed answers. "Lorenzo, you should take Cassandra and Kiddo somewhere, it's been a stressful day right? Make sure it's somewhere fun! I'm going to go talk to Olivia about Aria training.. or even how to start it. I have absolutely know idea," He was rambling. The first sign of lying was too much detail, he needed to cut this off. "So, yeah, she looks stressed, had to take a lot out of her. I think even you could handle that? Huh, big guy?" He flashed a smile and left the room, and headed towards the teacher offices. He hoped Olivia was there.
