Summary: Can I sacrifice everything I symbolize for the sake of my happiness. No, but I can for his.

Festivals End

The dance had started a few minutes ago and couples had come in looking fierce with their fancy clothes. As expected of rich teens…I want a sandwich. Thought Yukio, as he rubbed the back of his neck slightly in fatigue and boredom.

He would have just liked to stay in his dorm that night, reading manga or preparing next week's lesson since it was Friday. He really wanted to read the latest addition to 'Jump Square' but he knew it wouldn't happen that night.

However, he had made an oath to protect; to keep the people in the school, his colleagues and above all, his older brother safe. From not only the demons and assassin's from the Vatican but also from himself.

Sure it was noble on the 'outside' but he couldn't help but think sarcastically as he mumbled to himself. Why, did I volunteer for this again? "Oh yeah, I can't dance and too many girls want to date me…"

"Hai Okumura-sempai, you are very popular with the ladies." A random guy that was eating a corndog stood next to him as he said the words, he made it sound as if the young exorcist was his hero .

Yukio had almost punched the guy but he refrained himself, remembering that he was in school and that Kyle wasn't the enemy. He was tired and he couldn't wait for his staff duty to be over in order for him to go back to his dorm to sleep.

.

Yukio looked around quickly then trained his turquoise eyes on his friend as he said the words. "Hello Kyle, where's your date?"

Kyle scratched his cheek as he said. "She went with her sister to the restroom."

The exorcist raised an eyebrow and asked. "Oh, who did you ask?"

"Antonia…but she asked me. I have a question, sempai." Kyle took a deep breath and stood a little straighter.

The exorcist gave him a weird look as if wondering whether or not he could answer adequately then said in a relaxed voice. "Oh um okay, what is it?"

"I was wondering… since you are quite the flirt…womanizer…lady-killer?" Yukio cleared his throat then adjusted his glasses as he tried to cover a blush that was heating up his face and said gently.

"Get to the point Kyle." Yukio was glad the flashing lights hid his blush.

"Uh oh, okay so…Antonia asked me out but sh-" He cut himself off and sighed then tried to continue. "She likes you and…" Kyle looked down as if ashamed, so the exorcist continued for him with what he had thought Kyle was getting at.

"You were wondering if I liked her back, right." Kyle looked at him right in his eyes and nodded so he continued.

"I like her, she's a beautiful and delightful girl that can really cook." Yukio gave Kyle a sympathetic smile.

Kyle's body seemed to have deflated, as he said in a defeated tone. "I understand sempai."

Yukio touched Kyle's shoulder gently then leaned towards his ear to whisper the next words. "But I am in love with someone else, I just like Antonia as a friend and she knows that. So, relax Kyle."

He moved back a little then said in a happy tone. "Plus, if she asked you to the dance that means you have a chance."

Kyle smirked then said. "Arigato, I'll go to your classroom and buy you and Rin lunch tomorrow but I have to go." Antonia walked out of the crowd looking for Kyle. "Sayonara, sempai."

He smiled as he watched him go and took out a tonic called Yu-keru's then drank it, maybe he could make it thru the night without trouble.

M Note: Kyle and Antonia know about exorcist's and demon's/monsters because they both have mashō.

Antonia looks like Ruka from 'Vampire Knight' and Kyle like Saitou from 'Psychic Detective Yakumo'

Mashō (魔傷?)or Temptaint: refers to wounds or illnesses that are inflicted by a demon. Once a person sustains a mashō, they become able to see demons for the rest of their life.

Yu-keru's: Health tonic that Yukio always drinks in the manga and spinoff manga- 'Salaryman Futsumashi: Okumura Yukio no Aishuu'

Sayonara: Goodbye

Sempai: It means 'mentor' or 'senior' depending on the context desired.

Arigato: Thanks
