Seriously, there needs to be more Shura x Rin

How Rin really learned to control his flames ;)

They were in the basement.

Rin sat on the ground with his legs crossed, a pile of melted candles around him. She sighed and took three more out of the bag she had and placed them on the floor in front of him.

"You need to learn to control your powers. There's no room for mistakes when people are in danger" she lectured swirling the can of beer in her hand

"I know!" He snapped. He had been practicing for the best part of the last two hours but he hadn't improved. He was finding it hard to keep calm and to keep a level head, especially when a half-naked grown woman with a less than modest chest was standing over him watching his every move. He couldn't help his attraction towards her. His whole life people had told him what to do, he thought that he hated it, but when it came to her orders he did as he was told without complaining…. much.

She pushed her red and blond fiery bangs out of her face and sternly said "Try again" as she went to stand behind him before taking a gulp from the can.

He sat up straight, closed his eyes and tried to steady his breathing.

Light the first and third candle at the same time; He repeated in his thoughts before his eyes shot open. He concentrated on the outer two candles.

I can do this

His eyes narrowed.

WOOSH

The two outer candled burst into flames

"AAAAHHHHHHRRRGGH!" He punched the ground with such force that it cracked.

She sighed and stood in front of him "Those were the last of the candles" she shook her beer can "And the last of my beer"

"Dammit" He gritted his teeth.

She stomped out the burning candles "You need to stop thinking of these as just candles"

He looked up at her.

"In a real fight, these would be your friends. If you can't control your fire, they die"

"I know" he growled.

"Then why haven't you improved?"

"I don't know!"

She took a deep breath "We still have one candle left" She sat on the ground facing him with her legs crossed and picked it up "I want you to give it one more try" before wedging it into her cleavage.

He blushed; he was finding it hard to fight a nose bleed.

"I want you to light it without burning me" she ordered.

"What!?" he was shocked and still kind of light headed from the almost-nosebleed.

"This is the best way for you to learn"

What the hell is she doing? Does she want to get burned? "But"-

"No buts. This is life or death. If you can't handle your flames now, there's no way you'll be allowed to live"

He went to argue but he stopped himself before words reached his lips. She's right

"I have complete trust in you, Rin"

"Uh" He barely knew this woman and yet she was putting her life on the line for his sake. "How can you place trust in someone you don't know? Especially the son of Satan"

She chuckled "Whether we know each other or not, in a fight we'd have to rely on each other, I don't care who you are or where you come from, if we fight on the same side we're comrades… Now shut up and light this candle"

"Aye" he replied as he rubbed his hands together nervously. His palms were sweaty so he rubbed them off on his trousers before placing his hands on his knees. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He steadied his breathing and began to think of the candle between her breasts. He didn't want to admit it but it was very distracting, but he knew in a real fight, there would be distractions and things that would catch him off guard; he had to be ready for everything.

His eyes shot open and he concentrated on the wick of the candle. His gazed narrowed as he concentrated harder.

I need to light this, but I can't burn her. If I do she'd kill me!

He stared for a few more moments before exhaling sharply and dropping his chin to his chest.

"Dammit"

She sighed "If my life was really on the line, I'd be dead by now"

"Shut up!" He shot a glance at her "I don't want to hurt you"

She ignored his words "So my life isn't a great enough ultimatum for you to get this right?" she cocked an eye-brow

"It is! It is" He assured her.

"Well you haven't improved so I'll just have to think of something else" She placed her hand on her chin and looked to the ceiling in thought "Hmmmm" After a few moments she snapped her fingers with a smile "Sex!"

"Wha!?" He turned bright red

"Sex! You're a teenage boy, it's your main driving force" she chuckled at his expression.

"N-no! What!? Huh?" He was speechless. Sure he'd thought about sex before, usually when it came to the hot female characters from his beloved Manga's (the odd time about Shura, but how could he not!? The woman was practically naked all the time!), but the boy was so inexperienced. He had no clue really.

"If you can light this candle without burning me, I'll have sex with you"

I mean… how? And the thing? Like where does it go before it goes… there? What is my life? Where do my hands go? What if she's into kinky stuff!?... Like, really kinky stuff?

He went extremely red and his nose began to bleed

She rolled her eyes to heaven "Rin! Concentrate!"

He snapped out of it and wiped his nose "No. That's not right" despite it all, he was still somewhat of a gentleman "You can't do that for me. It wouldn't be right"

"HA! She laughed "Who says it would just be for you, eh?" she scoffed "I have an inch that needs a scratch so this is just two birds with one stone; you learn to control your flames and I get…" she winked.

She's going to use me for sex? She's 11 years older than me… She's supposed to be my teacher, my mentor… and she wants me for sex?... I'm surprisingly okay with this

He took another deep breath to regain composer and nodded.

"Okay. Try again"

He inhaled deeply a few times before closing his eyes again but this time he could feel her stare on him.

Light the candle, light the candle, light the candle. He repeated over and over in his head.

His eyes shot open "Light the candle!" He shouted

…. PUFF

It flickered to life.

His concentration fell and was replaced with relief and a sense of victory. He had finally done it! He slouched with a sigh and wiped his brow. She laughed in excitement before removing the candle from her breasts "Well done, Demon-boy!" she got to her knees and grabbed him in a head lock, his face firmly planted against her right chest boulder.

He mumbled inaudible words as he was held against her with his arms flailing. He did enjoy being pressed against her but the novelty wore off around the same time he began to run out of oxygen.

She grabbed him by the arms and pushed him away from her until he was at arm's length and at eye level. He was dizzy from lack of air. She quickly pulled him to her body and kissed him quite forcefully "MMMMWAH!" she pushed him back to arm's length "You did it!" she smiled

"uuhhh" His eyes were spiralling as his brain slowly regained the oxygen it needed to function. He shook his head and was back to normal. "I did it!" He smiled "I really did it!"

"Aye! And it looks like I found your ultimatum" she winked.

He remembered the agreement and went bright red in the face.

She laughed obnoxiously at his reaction. She patted him quite hard on the back "Don't worry about it! You're in good hands" she winked again.

Her winking was driving him wild. She was the most attractive woman he'd ever known... not that he had known any women before Cram-School, he grew up in a monastery for crying out loud! Other than Shura, he only really knew Izumo and she was in love with Paku and Shiemi was Yukio's other half. Plus, on the scale of things, neither of them ranked close to Shura; she was hot, ambitious, driven, stubborn, gritty and rough. She was a woman whereas they were girls.

She got to her feet and held out her hand to him "C'mon" she smiled.

"N-now?" He blinked

She chuckled "No time like the present!"

He raised a shaky hand and she helped him to his feet.

He picked his school bag off the floor and proceeded to walk alongside her. He was so nervous. His heart was in his throat, his mouth was dry and he didn't even want to think about what was happening in his trousers-

She held his hand interlocking her fingers with his

"C'mon, Scardy-cat" she chuckled softly as she led the way to her bedroom.

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?
