I don't own Ao No Exorcist

Yukio looked at his brother in frustration. Never had he had such an irresponsible, reckless, possibly destructive idea. To try and rein in his annoyance, he pinched the bridge of his nose, something he'd been doing a lot for the past five years.

"Come on, Yukio, you know it's a good idea!" Rin protested still innocent and naïve as ever.

True, the idea had potential, most of their cram school class had taken up teaching, excluding Takara. It was a miracle he even graduated. Izumo had begun to teach summoning with Shiemi, who also taught with him in classes such as Anti-Demon Pharmaceuticals. Suguro began teaching Passage Memorization class, along with Shima and Konekomaru when they could make it. Perhaps the idea of the class itself wasn't all that bad, it was just that they were the ones teaching it.

Rin decided that as a sort of side class, he'd be looking out for half-demons and teaching them to harness and control their powers in order to become exorcists. After they met some of the part-demon exorcists, the insane idea got into his head, and it stuck.

Yukio decided to cave in, just this once. "Fine. But don't destroy the city, okay?"

Rin's face brightened up. "Okay!"

He smiled. He saw his brother a lot, but they didn't live together anymore. A couple years ago, Rin and Shiemi got their own apartment, and Yukio knew that his brother was seriously considering proposing to her.

There was a knock on the classroom door before Rin answered it. Standing in the doorway was a girl, about sixteen, with black hair that reached her chest and dark brown eyes, as well as pointed ears and a tail tipped with a red tuft. "Are you the one I spoke to earlier?" she asked Rin.

"Yes. I never did get your name, though." He placed a hand on her back and guided her into the classroom.

"Ieyoshi Mayako," she said.
