Author's note: Well hello there! Ummmm, there really isn't much to say except that this is my first blue exorcist story and I hope you enjoy it. This is going to be an AU Rin x Shima story. By the way, Just for your information, Yukio is not in a higher standard than Rin in this fic. They are simply twins attending the same school. Please leave a review, cause I always say that if you have the time to read it, you have the time to write at least a phrase. Anyway, if you guys are into more Yaoi fluffyness, head on down to my profile where you can view my works. Enjoy!

"Rin we're going to be late!" Yukio Okumura was stomping his foot angrily by the front door, along with his foster-father, Fujimoto.

Rin Okumura was up in his room, hastily putting on his black belt. "Damn! Stupid thing won't go in!" Finally, he finished the belt, and continued down the stairs. "Hehehe. Sorry." Rin scratched the back of his head.

"Get in the car, or else, you'll walk to school! And you both know how Mephisto would react if he found out that you two were late to class on your first day." Fujimoto opened the gate and unlocked the car doors. After making sure everything was ok, he also got in the car and started it. 'Rin, how do you always ignore your alarm clock? It's ringing right in your ear! Nearly drove Kuro insane.'

Yukio was constantly checking his watch, periodically notifying their father of how much time they had left. "We need to be there in 3 minutes!" Yukio's heart began racing. He had never been late for a class before.

The black car pulled up to the school gates. Fujimoto ushered the two children out of the car. "GO GO GO!" He watched as his two kids ran towards the gates, and made it inside. 'Just barely.' Fujimoto sighed when he heard the familiar school bell ring.

"They would've made it. As long as Rin was following Yukio." A tall figure appeared from behind Fujimoto and clapped his shoulders. "Well done."

"Thanks Mephisto. You've been a great help."

Mephisto chuckled and waved him off. "All I did was make sure that they had somewhere to go. I mean," he dropped his voice to a whisper. "You weren't lying when you told me that they called you back. I knew the circumstances then and I know them now. I just wanted to relieve you of one of your many stress that are soon to come. After all, You are one of my only friends."

"...I know."

Rin sighed as he sat in a deserted chair. 'What a morning. If only I had woken up when my alarm went off, then maybe I could had breakfast.' Rin's stomach growled. 'I'm sooo hungry.' He grabbed his stomach and moaned very loudly. People in the class started to look at the lonely kid funny.

"Do you see that kid back there, the one with the gay hairpin in?"

"Yeah man, he must be a faggot."

Rin heard this and inwardly growled. He couldn't wait for this school day to end, then he could finally reunite with his brother. 'Then we could finally go to this supposedly prestigious "Cram School". I don't know, maybe it's for the higher level students after the regular high school. I just hope these guys aren't there.' Rin chuckled, when he realized that on a regular day, if these guys had said the same thing, he would have knocked their lights out. Then walked home with a bloody fist and therefore, been questioned by both his brother and father. 'It's so funny… I don't know why I feel so… happy? I mean, obviously, besides those two guys, then I don't know what is wrong with me…'

Yukio's day was probably the greatest ever! He liked all his teachers, met some pretty cool people that he could hang out with before the Cram school, and most of all, he met this really pretty girl named Shiemi. When he asked her whether she was attending the Cram school, luckily, she started smiling. Most kids didn't know about the Cram school, as it was on the other side of the campus.

"Um- Yukio?" Shiemi always seemed nervous around Yukio, though he didn't really notice.

"Yes Shiemi? What is it?"

"Is it ok if I just call you Yuki?" She blushed and hid her face.

Yukio tried to pick his words. 'Shiemi seems like Rin's type, and I need to look out for him. But if I let her call me by that, he'll think we're dating. Oh, I don't know what to do."

"H- hey, Yuki? Are you ok?"

Yukio started blushing. 'But she makes it sound so cool. Fuck it!'

"Uhhh, yeah. I'm just fine. It's just," Yukio sighed. "Nevermind." 'I wonder if she likes me? I mean she keeps blushing and everything. Maybe I'll just ask her, besides, I'm sure Rin wouldn't mind.' Yukio took his right hand and rubbed his left forearm. "So, ummm Shiemi?"

"Yes, Yuki?"

Yukio blushed. "I-I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to walk to the park sometime. To, you know, get to know each other better." 'The park, really, Yukio? Could you be any more lame?'

"Sure, just tell me when you want to meet up after Cram school, ok?" Shiemi nodded and raced away, her face as red as a tomato.

Rin waited patiently for the students to file out of the classroom before heading down to the Cram school. The teachers all knew about it so they made sure the students got there as quickly as possible without drawing attention to themselves. Rin slowly put his last books in his bag and waited for the last kid, some guy with stupid pink hair, to leave when he dropped his bag and everything spilled out. He couldn't help himself, so he went to go help the kid. I mean he had to get out faster, right?

The kid waved him off, said that he could do it and that Rin should go home. "Well, I can't." Rin bent down and began to help the kid, even though the kid didn't look like he was in a hurry.

"Why do you insist on helping me? Look, I've got to be somewhere, or else I'll be late and Mr. Me-" The kid quickly covered his mouth, and if Rin didn't know what he was going to say next, he wouldn't have caught it.

Rin threw his head back and laughed. "Oh my gosh, you know we could have been there like 10 minutes ago, right!?" Rin started giggling when the kid just looked at him weird. Rin sighed and took a golden key from his back pocket. Apparently, Mr. Mephisto gave it to all students of the Cram school as a way to get there without walking at all. 'Phffft! Yeah right, probably just part of another one of his "Magic Acts". Mephisto, Mephisto, you are one hell of a magician if this actually works.'

The kid almost died laughing. To think he was doing all that stuff to make that kid, what was his name? Rin Okumura? Well whatever his name was. "Well I guess since we're done fooling around, We can properly greet." The kid held hid hand out.

Rin stood up along with the kid, but didn't hear anything he said. Rin thought he still had saliva in his ear from the spit that came out of the teacher's mouth this morning. The kid put his hand out, so Rin shook it. "My name is Rin; Rin Okumura."

The kid inwardly smirked, 'heh; got it right the first time.' "The name is Shima." Shima smiled back and took out his own key. It was golden but had the symbol of True Cross Academy on it. "Soooo, uh. Do you think these things work?" Shima held out his key.

"Sure hope so." Rin held up his key and tried to see if there was any button on it to activate it. "It'd be a shame to walk all the way across campus." Rin fitted his key into the bathroom door and swung it open, but they were not expecting to see what they saw.

Instead of dusty, fogged up mirrors and bleach white bathroom stalls, (yes, even in True Cross Academy, there are hideous bathrooms.) there was a deep red carpet that seemed to never end. Paintings of people they've never heard before, were everywhere you turned. But what was even better was that there seemed to be a thousand rooms. Rin held his mouth in awe as he circled the hallway once, and then twice. Shima just stood behind him and made sure if he bumped into anything, none of the porcelain vases would drop and smash on the ground. After he heard Rin gasp, he quickly turned in his direction, seeing something that also took his breath away.
