Hey! So you may recognize this story because it's been here before! Haha putting it back up after a looong time!

Mei Li. ~

I sat motionless on my porch a single white rose resting in my hands. Tears streamed from my eyes in thin streams leaving traces of sobs on my cheek.

I leaned back against the porch steps gripping the rose tighter and tighter putting thorn size gashes to speck my hand.

I heard the vague sound of a car pulling up and then a door slamming. The neighbors I thought angrily. They never cared about my brother. They never cared about any of us.

Only it wasn't the neighbors. It was an unknown person.

A gloved hand touched my own. I imagined a white hand turning red. An ugly deep color like... Blood.

"Excuse me but are you Mei Li Nakashima?"

"You are?" I questioned, unseeing eyes roaming around the darkness.

"Mephisto Pheles. Headmaster of true cross academy!"

My face brightened "Did I get the scholarship?"

"You my dear have beat national records with that IQ of yours."

I smiled again "Will I be the only scholarship student?"

"No you will be entering the school with Yukio and Rin Okumura. Both exorcist."

"I also have full scholarship to the exorcist program?"

"Indeed you do."

I dropped the rose standing to my full height of five feet six inches. I felt the blood trickling down my hands.

Maybe today wouldn't be so bad. I mean the funeral was pretty horrible but at least I would never have to deal with those pesky neighbors again. Hmmm... Maybe I've even forgotten there names already...

Oh right.

Shima.

~ To the school!

The entrance ceremony was quite nice but I couldn't stop picking at the bandages on my right hand. Mephisto insisted that the nurse wrap my whole hand so now I had no control over it what-so-ever.

At the moment I was making my way to that door Mephisto had told me about that connected to everywhere else. Only teachers and high rank exorcist have them. Due to my lack of sight Mephisto thought it would be easier on me if I had one door to everything.

The moment I heard faint footsteps behind me was the moment my feet temporarily tuned out what my brain was telling them to do and long story short I tripped.

I fell flat on my back (no idea how that's possible) and heard the footsteps get quite louder.

A hand pushed me up and the keys at my side jingled lightly annoying the heck out of me.

"Are you OK?" a young voice asked.

"I think so." I said with a smile drifting my white eyes to where I thought he was. I tried to stand but a pain shot up my ankle.

He slung one of his arms around my waist supporting my weight. He unlocked the door after confirming that we were going to the same place.

A thought popped into my head.

"Wait! Only teachers and high rank exorcist have access to that door!"

He laughed lightly "I'm your exorcist teacher."

MY face reddened "OH!"

"It's OK I'm only sixteen."

"Ohh... Then you're Yukio Okumura!"

"You must be Mei Li Nakashima."

I nodded black hair bouncing up and down in its loose ringlets.

He shook my hand without letting me go "Nice to meet you."

"You too."

He opened the last door and pulled me in helping my to a seat.

I sat alone until I heard a very familiar very hated voice "Mei li?"

I groaned. Shima. "Ye-es?"

He didn't say anything else to me.

I sat in utter silence because no one was talking. In my head i pieced together what Yukio could look like.

The door opened again and another person walked in. Late.

"YUKIO?!" I heard the voice call out.

"Rin." Yukio said cooly.

"b-b-but you..." He trailed off.

"Rin if you could please take a seat."

I was staring intently at my desk not even bothering to trace Rin's voice.

"Today you will be getting you Temtaint if you haven't already gotten yours. Please raise your hand if you've already gotten yours."

My hand went straight up. Because of my temtaint a brilliant blue blob appeared around demon's.

"Three of you... Well... Less then I had hoped for but lets get just get this over with."

I heard some rustling as Yukio took something out of his bag. He explained what it was but I was tuned out staring at the ceiling.

Slowly I started noticing spots of the ceiling turning faintly blue.

"There demon's in the roof?" I questioned.

"Not that I know of."

"Well...I think you have a demon infestation." I could feel Yukio studying me like my brother used to do when he was confused.

The spots on the ceiling started to wobble as I heard the ceiling crack.

"Infestation." I muttered and a blob appeared before me on my desk.

The blob leaned closer to me as I leaned closer to it. What I can only hope was out noses touched. I smiled.

"Ehh.. Nakashima-chan..." Rin's voice called out.

I heard the click of a gun. "No Okumura-Sempai don't shoot it."

The bullet would cause no harm to a human but the demon in front of me would die... I would also.

I was a demon.

Lets not get into that now though.

I slipped something out of my blue converse boots and stuck it through the top of the demon without unsheathing the slim black dagger.

I pushed the blue off of my desk as the ceiling cracked more and more until finally Yukio ordered us out.

I stayed. As did Rin from what I could tell.

Yukio told me to get out but I refused as I held the dagger. Not unsheathing it.

I heard the distinct sound of a gun as the blue shapes moved closer. I stuck dagger through a few as I heard a sword being drawn.

as I stuck the last small one I looked up to see a human sized blob in front of me.

I crashed my blade down on it as I heard a very human like scream. A hand caught my arm.

"Nakashima-chan what in the world are you doing?"

"I'm killing the last demon!"

A small sound escaped both Rin and Yukio as Yukio drew me aside questioning me on how I knew that.

I answered all the questions easily before it was my turn. I got the whole story out of Yukio about Rin.

I didn't get a chance to respond before I was being pulled to the hall.

"Sorry about that but maybe but I think I know an easier way for you all to get a temtaint."

Yukio herded everyone back into the classroom and pulled yet another thing out of his bag.

I sat in the back of the room as I heard several cries of pain.

Guess they were getting there temtaint.

~After class

Yukio helped me back to my dorm which happened to be the dorm next to Rin and Yukio's.

The room was small and the bed just barely fit me but at least I was next to someone that I knew.

Rin sat at the office chair in my room going on and on about the classes they would start tomorrow. I for one was excited about being in twelth grade math, science, and history. The rest of my classes were simply eleventh grade.

I was a ninth grader.

I smiled as I lay down in my bed to sleep holding my brother's picture close to me and falling asleep to Rin and Yukio yelling at eachother.
