I have been so busy the past few weeks that it's not even funny. I have started my summer college classes (even though I'm still in high school damn it! DX), got second degree sunburn from celebrating the 4th of July, celebrated my boyfriend's birthday, saw Magic Mike with my best friend and her mom, and then went to my boyfriend's grandparents' wedding renewal with him and his family! And on top of all that I am still suffering from insomnia and haven't been able to think of a proper story until now. So I apologize from the deepest pit of my heart if this story sucks.

WARNING: This story is based off the anime Blue Exorcist; I do not own any of the characters, they belong to Kazue Kato. I only own the characters that I have made up. There will also be M-Rated scenes and gore in this story.

Shit I am so going to be late! I thought as I ran down the streets of True Cross Academy Town. Once again my damn alarm clock didn't go off and I woke up in time to see I only had little less than a half hour to get ready for school. So of course I was sprinting as fast as I could so my teachers at the high school wouldn't kill me; it was already bad enough that the teachers at the Cram school hate me enough as it is! Unfortunately when I made a sharp turn around the corner I only saw a glimpse of the back of a blonde haired girl and before I could stop myself, I crashed right into her making us both fly into the ground. Before I hit the pavement though I heard a bunch of loud thuds and when I looked to see what caused it, I realized it was cardboard boxes that held the girl's belongings! "Oh my God, I am so sorry!" I cried out in horror when the girl lifted herself off the ground only for me to see scrapes and skid marks across her left cheek; her sunglasses sliding down her nose crookedly to reveal a slightly irritated hazel eye. The look in her eye though turned into amusement when I hastily picked up some of her stuff and put them back into the boxes while apologizing over and over again for practically running her over. "Kid, it's okay." She chuckled as she fixed her sunglasses so that both her eyes were hidden again. She then began piling the boxes on top of one another after all of her stuff was back in them. "Wait; let me at least help you carry these! I still feel so bad." I suggested as one thin, blonde eyebrow arched; her lips twitching into a small smirk. "Okay then; just help me carry these last few up the stairs to my apartment." She said as I grabbed two of the four she currently had in her arms. With a nod of her head, she told me to follow her into the building next to us. That's when I noticed her voice sounded a bit weird when she spoke to me. It didn't occur to me that Japanese wasn't her native language until she nearly tripped on one of the steps and swore in what sounded like English. The only words I somewhat understood her say was what I believed was "son", "bitch", and "stupid". "You're a foreigner?" I asked with awe as we continued to climb the stairs. "Heh, yeah I am. I'm from the United States. Well here we are." The blonde said as she opened a door to a small apartment that was a bit run down. Here and there pale yellow paint was chipping or peeling off the wall and the rugs were a dusty gray. There was a cramped kitchen on the far left wall and a worn out couch that was once red was now mostly a dull pink and next to it a reclining chair of the same color. And other than a dresser/desk that was by the couch, there were two doors that were open; one that was a cleaning closet that had clothes hanging there and the other led to a tiny bathroom with a single shower, toilet, and sink. Over all, the place was a wreck.

"Man this place is a dump. It doesn't even have a bed!" I said as she laughed hollowly. "Well it might be a dump but it's all I can afford right now. And I think the landlord said the couch turns into a bed. You can just place those boxes by the closet door." She said as she placed the boxes she had by the couch. That's when I noticed another thing about her; the lenses of her sunglasses became clear! Must be those transition glasses Yukio was thinking about getting. I thought as I watched her go to the fridge and pull out two cans of Coke Zero before throwing one to me. "So kid, what had you in such a rush?" She asked as I nearly did a spit take of my drink. "Shit! I was trying to run to school but now I have no chance of making it on time! My teachers are soooo going to kill me!" I groaned as I thought of the possible punishments for being late this time. I then thought about what my brother was going to do to me once he found out I was late to high school again. "When do your classes start?" The blonde girl asked as she looked at the clock on the wall. "8:00." I answered miserably. The girl just smirked as she grabbed a pair of car keys. "Well you're in luck kid; I still have another day with my rental car before I return it." She said as my eyes lit up. "You're a fucking life savior!" I cheered as we made our way down the stairs and back onto the street. When she opened the door of a sleek black Honda Civic, my eyes nearly bugged out of my head at how nice it looked. Yet, instead of standing there like an idiot I hopped in the passenger side.

"Thank you so much for this…um"

"Nikita or you can call me Niki."

"Well thanks Niki-Chan!" I said sincerely as the school came into view. "By the way I'm Rin."

"No problem Rin, I know what it's like when you're running late for school. Well here you go." Nikita said as she pulled the car to a stop. "And look, you still have six minutes to get to class."

"Thank you so much for this! Seriously you saved my life." I said while getting out of the car. "You're welcome. See you at Cram school Rin." With that said she drove off. "Yeah see you at Cram school." I murmured as I walked to my first class of the day only to stop in front of the door when her words set in.

See you at Cram school Rin.

Wait….

WHAT?

I forgot to mention that this story will be taking place shortly before Rin, Shima, and Izumo are sent for the squid mission. Once again I apologize if this story isn't as great as my others but I promise to pick it up if it is.
