First fanfic. So, I read a fanfic the other day about pole fitness so I decided to do a training fanfic for ShiMayu cause their just super cute together.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twin Star Exorcists
"What?!" Mayura looked at the Twin Star Exorcists, not quite believing what she was hearing. "You're going on vacation? Now?"
Rokuro sighed. "Arima-san's orders." Adashino-san said in her usual calm demeanor, setting down a large suitcase.
Her childhood friend scowled. "Yeah, perverted underwear man wants the Twin Stars to have Miko and soon. He said, as I quote, 'You two are going to be the parents of Miko! The sooner you have the baby, the better. So I booked you two tickets for a relaxing vacation. No pressure.' There was this weird sorta aura around him after he finished too."
"I'm surprised you could remember all of that imp!" Adashino's familiar, Kinako sniggered.
"What was that-!" Rokuro tried to grab Kinako, sending them into a game of tag.
Adashino cleared her throat. "Can we leave this place up to you guys?" she asked.
Mayura nodded enthusiastically. "Sure! Everyone will do their best to fight off the Kegare. And when you come back, let's eat ohagi together." Her friend's face lit up at the mention of her favorite snack.
"Rokuro! Benio-san! It's time to go!" Ryogo called. Adashino walked towards the car. Mayura sighed. She still had feelings for Rokuro, but she decided...it was finally time to let go. She would continue to support him and Adashino-san the best she could, by training to become a stronger exorcist. Then she won't need to be a burden anymore. She could protect people she cared for, like she always wanted to.
"Take care Mayura!" Rokuro shouted to her, "We'll bring back souvenirs for everyone!" She waved at her friends as they drove off towards the airport. She was going to get stronger.
"Air Fissure Bullet! Come forth at once!" Mayura chanted, flinging the stones at the oncoming wave of Kegare. Dozens of blazing stars appeared as the impurities were purified.
"Mayura-san, you're getting better at this." Shinnosuke commented as she made her way to the other three exorcists.
She laughed, rubbing the back of her head. "Thanks. It's really thanks to the training Shimon made me go through." The tired girl didn't notice the knowing look the three boys shared.
"You two are close aren't you?" Atsushi asked, waggling his eyebrows.
Mayura laughed. "He's really strict, and a good teacher." she replied, dodging the question.
"Let's get back to the real world." Ryogo said, sparing Mayura from being questioned again.
Today was tiring, Mayura thought as she stepped into the Seika Dorm. I guess I should take a bath. "Ah~ Mayura, someone's-" Mayura opened the door. And- oh my gods oh my gods
"Sorry!" she squealed, slamming the door back shut with a loud bam. Her face was beat red from embarrassment. Her grandpa sighed. "This sure brings back a sense of deja-vu." he muttered quietly. Mayura leaned against the bathroom door, waiting for her heartbeat to slow down. Not again. I wonder how mad Shimon is right now?
The living room somehow felt stifled that night. "What brings one of the twelve guardians here?" Atsushi asked.
Shimon had his arms crossed, his face blank of emotion. "With the unusual strength of the Kegare here, and the twin stars not here for extra support in case a Level A True Serpent appears, I'm taking their place."
Shinnosuke smiled, "We sure are lucky to have you help us, Ikaruga-san."
"Suzaku's the best!" Atsushi agreed. Haruka gave out a small laugh, her attention still focused on a magazine with the title "10 Ways To Prevent A Bad Wedding". Mayura stayed silent, fixing her stare at a dark spot on the floor.
"Oh-Seigen-san. It's been a while." Mayura glanced up as her father walked into the room. If there was one person that Shimon respected the most, it was her dad, his former sensei.
"I'm going out. It's good to see you. Work piling up?" Seigen said as a way of greeting.
"Ah, no. Not yet, although the others are a bit grumpy that they actually need to put in some effort for the remaining Basaras." Shimon reported, shyly pulling up his scarf to cover the lower portion of his face.
Her dad was silent for a moment. "Are you going to train Mayura tomorrow?" Mayura shot her eyes up, mouth open ready to respond.
But Shimon got there first. "Yes." She felt her face flush. Seeing him naked for the first time? Horrifying. Second time? Mortifying. He probably really did hate her now. But she was grateful that he was still willing to train her. She had to get stronger. "9 o'clock sharp." he added, glancing at her sharply, his blue eyes narrowing. She nodded stiffly. Exorcist to exorcist.
Mayura glanced at her phone. 8:13 blinked back at her. She huffed in exasperation. Running without Adashino-san was more boring than she anticipated it to be. The standard black training uniform was crafted in a clever way to allow the wearer flexibility and soak up sweat from training. It didn't prevent injuries took a deep breath in before running towards the training gym.
"I'm early..." she said as she looked around the empty room. "Might as well start." She unzipped a portion of the top part of her uniform like she's been doing lately, allowing her to breathe better. She glanced at the black and gray clothing skeptically. "Maybe I should get a bigger size." she murmured to herself.
"Arresting Hold! Come forth at once!" Two beams of spell power in the shape of snakes wrapped around two of the fake Kegare. "Air Fissure Bullet! Come forth at once! The stones levitated as she shot them into the chest of both dummies.
"You've improved since last time." Startled, Mayura spun around, nearly falling down. "Not enough to count as a qualified excorsist though."
"Jeez. If your going to give me a compliment make it stay a compliment." she replied automatically. Shimon glanced at her, amusement etched on his face. His eyes seemed to be looking over what she did so far, taking in the destroyed dummies and scattered talismans.
Just then, Mayura realized that her zipper was still partway down, revealing a non-to-small view of her bust. "You closet idiot red winged pervert!" she shouted, turning away from him so she could zip up her uniform.
Shimon blinked. "What does that even mean? You said that last time too. And, like I said before, it's not really a problem. You've already seen me naked...twice." His cheeks flushed. Mayura was unaware of this since she was still facing away from him.
"That's what Rokuro asked me once. He asked me if I wrote them down and used them when an opportunity arrives. I can't really control it. It's a habit, I guess. It just comes out."
Shimon raised an eyebrow. "I think the past five minutes happened before. I'm having a strong sense of deja-vu." He set his big training bag down.
"Are we going to spar today?" she asked as he crossed the room to the control box.
"No." He flicked on a switch. A circular hole about the size of a grapefruit opened up on the ceiling and the floor. A singular metal rod shot out, connecting to the opposite hole. Shimon yanked on it twice to make sure it was sturdy before turning to face her. "Ever heard of pole fitness?"
