I don't have an attitude problem.

I just have a personality you can't handle.

Rin looked like an old man.

The four demons in the room with him at the time were completely unsympathetic. Mephisto had laughed at him when the half-demon vented his woes. Amaimon had looked at him blankly. Kuro and Ukobach were both elated at his new 'fur', describing it as sparkly and pretty.

Neither were words that Rin had aspired to be described as.

Some may wonder why Rin had crashed in Mephisto's office when no one there offered him any comfort but it was not like he could complain to humans about a demon problem and expect them to know exactly how he felt. Kuro and Ukobach had actually gone through their own versions of what Mephisto described as a Demon's Inheritance. Kuro said he had grown his second tail and Ukobach described the increased sense of taste and precision he had gained in his cooking.

After Rin's encounter with the possessed man while he had been buying the wig he had returned home with bands for his hair and piercings and Yukio had not been pleased. After much groveling and a brief mention of the demon trying to abduct the two children his brother had ultimately forgiven him.

Rin had felt a bit guilty when he had not told Yukio about his rapidly changing hair color but Yukio had never reacted well to his more demonic traits and Rin just had not felt like dealing with it at that moment. One

Mephisto and Amaimon (the older demon more than the younger) gave Rin a detailed explanation about their own. The general consensus was that they gained a power boost and a greater understanding of their realms.

Mephisto had given a wild grin when he had described the demons who had wasted centuries kissing up to Iblis. The treacherous fiends had mistakenly assumed that the Fire King's flames would turn blue at their coming of age.

Rin spent the next thirty minutes explaining that his flames did not work like normal fire. Even if Iblis managed to burn his flames hot enough to turn blue it was not like he could control what it burned.

Despite their silence on the matter, Rin knew that his newfound appearance took after one of his parents and it certainly was not his mother.

Rin woke up one-morning waist-length sparkly (dammit Kuro) silvery-white hair, long ears, tail missing and coupled with his naturally light skin he looked like an elf with fangs (dammit Satan, you were supposed to be a hideous demon.)(Although he supposed that meant his mother had some taste? Maybe?) He'd gained an animal form and was proud to say he was not a hamster or a Scottish Terrier.

Rin finally towered over Yukio's 180 cm at his own known height of 181 cm. He was glad that he had gotten something from the demon side of the family.

Now laying draped over Mephisto's pink chair the half-demon whined, "This sucks," Mephisto chuckled sipping on his tea. Amaimon continued to munch on the cookies that Rin had given him on a whim.

The eldest demon barely twitched as he set down the teacup and gave his full attention to the computer in front of him, the perfect image of a hardworking headmaster, except, Rin knew for a fact that the other was just reading fanfiction instead of working.

Not that the younger had any right to call the clown out on it.

"Come on," Rin whined, "Glamours give me a headache and I have to keep them up all day," He gestured at his current blue-black hair.

After discovering his current problem both of the Demon Kings had taken it upon themselves to teach the half-demon the wonderful art of glamours that allowed Demons to blend in amongst humans.

Instead of saying anything helpful Amaimon nibbled on his cookie and mumbled: "You're late."

Rin blinked, snapped his head to one of the many clocks on the time demon's wall, and booked it out of the room with a string of demonic litanies.

Mephisto looked up at his brother, "That clock is twenty minutes slow." His lips tilted up in an amused grin.

The Earth King grabbed another cookie, "I know."

Rin was a blur against the scenery of True Cross Academy. He turned a corner and slammed his key into the door with a quick turn, he continued his rush and slammed open the door to the Cram School.

Yukio looked at him dryly, "Nice of you to finally show up, Okumura-Kun. Unfortunately, your first class is almost over."

Giving a sheepish laugh the demon slowly sunk into his seat and tried to ignore the looks he received from his classmates and Shura's mocking laughter as she teased Yukio about being unable to control his class.

Ignoring her, Yukio continued, "Your homework will be on the chapters we discussed today. Rin, you can get the assignment from one of your classmates. You're dismissed," With that the teacher gathered up the rest of his stuff and left, dragging Shura behind him.

There was a moment of silence before it was inevitably broken with a harsh, "Slacking of now Okumura? You would think you'd try harder," Bon mocked.

The Kyoto trio strolled up to where Rin was sitting while Rin mumbled a few curses and a quick "Fuck you," in the punks direction for good measure.

Still half-glaring at Bon he turned to Shiemi, "Did I miss anything?" Rin questioned.

Shiemi's entire shook in excitement, "Oh, Rin! You missed so much! Yukio told us that we are having guest lectures from America today! Isn't it so exciting?" She chirped.

Rin blinked slowly and shrugged, "I did not know they did that." He murmured. The half-demon was not that excited about it, honestly, but he could see the appeal to having a change from the same teachers day after day.

Konekomuru nodded looking thoughtful, "I heard they just moved here. Apparently, they're going to be a regular sight around here." He commented, "They're married and have two kids so it must be hard being a parent and an exorcist."

Rin nodded, "Yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait and see," Rin did not care one way or the other.

"You could at least try and sound more excited," Bon nagged.

If you don't believe in history,

Just believe in the world you see with your own eyes.
