This is my Blue Exorcist story loosely based off the clip in Ep.14 (06.25 to be exact) so you can watch that if you really want to but you don't have to.

NOTE: This is set before Rin found out about his demonic powers and in later chapters we meet Shemi and she MIGHT be out of character, but I am not sure yet.

WARNING: Contains swearing, so rated T for that.

Disclaimer: Kazue Kato and Co. are the rightful owners of Blue Exorcist (Ao no Exorcist), not me *weeping*

Chapter One: That Look

Rin

"Mr Okumura, you should know by now that our school does not support bullying of any kind, however, nor do we support violence against other students. Now, I expect you to apologise to Mr Hashimoto, who, is probably in the Nurse's office getting his face bandaged up, or do I have to call your father?"

Rin was fuming, like a volcano about to explode; he already had to deal Hashimoto, now this? "Why should I?" He shouts at Mr Nakano. "He started it, I didn't do anything wrong, if anything, he should be apologising to me!"

Mr Nakano stands up quickly, reminding Rin his power and authority, and what would happen if he ever questioned it again…in other words, Rin would be in deep shi – "Don't you raise your voice at me, Mr Okumura, you were originally going to serve a week's detention, with Mr Hashimoto, but now you are going to serve two weeks detention, you hear? And I'm going to call Father Fujimoto." Mr Nakano spat out those words, and Rin hated him for it.

"Sure." He said in a low voice.

Mr Nakano sat back down in his chair. "You can go."

Rin turns round and goes out of his office, more fuming than he was before he entered the office. He stalks down the hallways of this shitting school, his body shaking with anger.

Is Mr Nakano really taking the piss? Rin wonders to himself as thrusts his hands into his pockets to show that he doesn't really give a shit.

People are starting to give him the stares. The type of stares that mean: 'Who pissed him off this time?' which makes him even angrier.

"What're you looking at?" Rin shouts at the crowd of people staring at him. They started to huddle in a tighter group once he shouted harshly.

Serves them right too, Rin thought/shouted to himself, giving me the looks. I mean, everyone has a crap day once in a while, right?

Rin carried on walking to his small locker, which, in fact doesn't exactly do a great job of looking after your stuff. People usually pick the flimsy locks and steal the 'geeks' mobile phones or money so they could buy lunch tickets. Even Rin had to admit it was pretty clever how they did it without getting caught neither by the victim or a teacher. They usually steal some of the popular girl's hair clips for a laugh, and because they're so stupid, they don't even notice. It was an easy business: When the geeks are at their science or math club or the school library or whatever, the 'bad asses' (Rin would like to think he was one, although he didn't steal anybody's stuff) pick their locks while the teachers are in the staff room (drinking bad coffee and disgusting salads, setting an example to the students…not) and viola, you have a new mobile phone and some cash. Not bad at all, but they can't do it every day, or the geeks will notice a pattern going on.

Rin opens up his 'locker' to get his bag out meanwhile he was sure he hadn't left any spare money in there (you never know, right?) After he checked there was no money, he shut his locker and he walks away when something caught his eye.

Shu Hashimoto.

Hashimoto has a massive bandage across his left cheek and he's holding up a clump of tissues to his nose, but it still didn't fully prevent the flow of blood, and it looks like he has a pretty swollen black eye.

Unfortunately for Rin, Hashimoto has friends in high places, such as the school's gorillas, who are bigger and stronger than Rin, and could probably put Rin in hospital. Overall, it's a bad idea if Rin got into another fight now, and besides, Rin just wants to go, even though there was only two more hours left…he's had enough…enough of this shitty school, enough of the pissy teachers who don't do anything and enough of being called something he's not…something he doesn't want to be.

"Okumura!"

Rin turns around quickly only to see Hashimoto marching over to him violently.

"You bastard," Hashimoto says, "you think you can just punch me and get away with it?"

"Sorry," Rin started to say, "I haven't got time to chat, I've gotta get somewhere –" And he turns around, his back facing Hashimoto.

"I'll tell the teachers that you're ditching school!"

Rin walks away slowly. "Go ahead."

"I'll get you expelled!" Hashimoto shouts at him.

Rin turns around to face him. "I don't give a damn, about you, the teachers, or thus damn school. So stay the hell away from me." He says as he flung his black jacket on and walks away from Hashimoto and this damn school.

He walks out into the sun as the bell ran for the end of lunch; he turned right and walked against the brick wall. Only he doesn't know that his studious twin brother, Yukio, follows him outside, trying to persuade him to stay in school

"Where are you going Rin? Rin!"

Rin walks away from his twin brother with his bag over his shoulder and started making his way to his special place where he goes to bunks off regularly (and when I say regularly, I mean all the time).

He takes about five minutes until he gets there. He lies down at looks up at the sky.

Why don't I have any friends…? Wait, I know why…it's because I ditch school all the time is because I haven't got any friends…well, if I count Four-Eyed-Mole-Face but, he's my brother.

Rin closes his eyes gently; the breeze in the air ruffles his black messy hair.

Why do I have to be like this? How come people…don't like me…? Am I really what he said I am? Is that why people are avoiding me, even though I try and help them? I do shout at them, though, only because they are avoiding and giving me weird looks –

"Hey, you're on my seat."

Rin opened his eyes slowly to see a girl stand over him. The girl in question has brown hair, and blue eyes. Rin compares her eyes to the sky's colour. Her eyes are just like a cloudless sky in summer and she had a little frown on face and she has pale complexion that makes her look like a vampire. A second later, Rin was thinking, A very attractive vampire…wait…did I just say that? About a stranger…?

"Hello, can you hear me; I said you're on my seat."

Rin looked at her directly and sits up and crosses his arms. "Who said this was your seat."

"I did." The girl says defiantly as she crosses her arms as well. "When I first came here."

"Well I'm sorry, dude, but I came here first – "

"Hey! I'm not a dude!" She says.

"Yes you are."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"Can I just sit down?"

"Whatever."

The girl sat down next to Rin.

Rin smirks at her. "Hey stranger, does this mean I win?"

The girl rolls her eyes at him. "I guess."

"Well, for me prize, can I know your name?"

"Yes, but only if you tell me yours first."

"Rin Okumura."

"Kanae Tomyoko." The girl smiles at him and in that single look, she knew she would be friends with him.

Thank-you for taking your time to read the first chapter of That Day. If you spotted any mistakes, such as grammar or tenses or spellings, please tell me, either by PM or review because I would like to know what the flaws are in the first chapter and I would like to improve on my English :) Thanks again!
