Yeah, pretty much. I gotta keep it a secret for the most part though. Half-demons, those aren't too uncommon where I'm from. But being Satan's son is a big deal, and a lot of people have issues with it. The 'we should probably kill him' kinda issues.
Dad adopted me and Yukio- my twin brother- when we were babies. Mom...I dunno what happened to her, but she's dead now. I never knew her. So it was just me, Yukio, and Dad.
Then Satan possessed Dad and tried to drag me to Hell using his body, so Dad killed himself before it could happen.
[YEAH. That's why he has issues with suicide tbh]
That's why I gotta beat him. I owe it to Dad. He died for my sake, you know? If I die here, I'll never be able to make it up to him.
[holy shit, that's. jesus. Akira thought Rin had good reasons for hating Satan before, but now he understands that on a much deeper level. his good hand tightens into a fist]
. . . you really do.
[mmm. his gaze narrows, and he nods again, firm and determined. he's decided; he, Rin and Ichigo will absolutely make it out of here alive. they have to]
It's no wonder that you're willing to fight so hard to stay alive. And no wonder that you're so insistent on-- if you have to die-- dying as yourself.
Yeah. It's pretty terrible, you know? I've lost control before. I don't really remember what happened then, but when I came back, and I saw everyone's faces...
[How horrified they were. How all of his friends saw him for what he truly was.
...no, not what he 'truly was'. The demon in him is a part of him, but that is not all of who he is.]
...I don't want that to happen again. I'm not a monster, and I don't want to become one.

And-- no, he didn't. Just the part where Satan is your. . . [flaps. hands. biological dad?] Well, that you're half demon.

Date: 2018-01-14 04:34 am (UTC)Oh yeah! I got some stuff to tie Ichigo down with, so if he tries to do stupid stuff again we can just tie him to the bed.

no subject
Date: 2018-01-14 04:37 am (UTC)It's bedsheets!
[So no, it shouldn't hurt.]
We just tuck him in real snug-like, and he'll have to nap.

It's not that hard. He just. . . need encouragement, sometimes.
