Exile Wrath: Well, hi? Yeah, yeah, I'm supposed to update The Original 5 Piece Exorcist, but this fic was originally my Health homework. We were supposed to write a story about a family dealing with a problem, so this fic just inserted itself in my ideabox. Please read and review! And BTW, it's a ONESHOT.

Summary: What happens when Allen gets a letter from his college about bad grades? 2 words: Angry Cross

Pairing: Sibling!ReixAllen, Anita x Cross

Rated: K+

"Erm…Allen, are you okay?" 15-year-old Reikyuu Hitoride asked anxiously. Her brother was currently in a very depressed mood, and Timcampy, their Golden Retriever puppy, was being hugged to death by the male. The white-haired boy, Allen, looked up from his despondent position on his bed and held up a letter with an official-looking seal at the corner. Rei picked it up and read it, gasping in shock when she got to the end. This is what it said:

Dear Guardian(s) of Allen Walker,

We are extremely sorry to notify you that your son, Allen Walker, currently has a 73% in his Microbiology class. As he is a scholarship student, this grade is unacceptable and he will be dropped from the Biotech program if he does not raise it to an at least 87%. There are multiple tutoring opportunities available after classes, and he may be able to regain credit if he attends them. Allen Walker has until the end of the trimester to complete the requirements.

Sincerely,

Headmaster of Black Order Academy,

Malcolm C. Leverrier

After reading the letter, Rei looked up at her brother with eyes full of fear and pity. "Look, bro. Cross isn't going to kill you, so don't freak out. I mean-" She was abruptly cut off by the door to the room being violently kicked open by their foster father, Cross Marian, and right behind him, their foster mother Anita Marian. They were standing in the doorway, and, as if on cue, they both held up a paper identical to the one she had just examined. Both siblings and the dog gulped nervously and looked at each other. Rei slowly began to edge towards the window as their parents approached Allen slowly and menacingly. The moment Rei unbolted the window, her brother grabbed a nearby backpack and Timcampy, jumping out of the 2nd-story room and into a packing-peanut filled Dumpster below, which had been ready for the express purpose of making a quick getaway in case Cross had ever gotten in one of his moods. 14 feet above them, they could hear Cross listing off expletives that would have made an Alcatraz prisoner wince.

Rei blinked at the white-haired male beside her, who was digging through several layers of peanuts to retrieve a large pack identical to his, and handed it to her. She ruffled her hair in distaste, and put the bag on. "So where to now?" she asked curiously. Allen sighed, putting his head in his hands.

"I'm afraid…we'll have to ask BaKanda for help…" he muttered softly. Rei froze in shock, staring incredulously at her brother, who began walking to what the neighborhood had dubbed "The Hell House.", AKA, Kanda Yuu's home.

*Kanda's Home*

Allen tapped lightly on the door of the "Hell House", ignoring the pitying stares neighbors were giving him and his sister. Kanda's house was frequently referred to as "The Hell House" because the owner had a very short temper and constantly carried Mugen, his katana, around his person 24/7. Luckily for them, although Kanda would never admit it, they were friends with him, so they were completely safe…as Allen hoped.

The door flew open, and Allen shut his eyes in a brief moment of terror. He opened them to see a certain familiar blade at his throat…again. The blue haired swordsman quickly sheathed Mugen. "Che. I should've known it was you, Moyashi. What do you want?" He asked quickly. Allen gulped and proceeded to explain the whole situation, starting with the letter…

*2 hours later*

"Eat up, you guys." Kanda snarled ungraciously, although the effect was rather lost by the fact he was serving them soba. "And then talk out your problems. I can't have Moyashi running to my house out of fear every single week." He said this while slamming steaming hot bowls of soba in front of Anita and Cross, who had caught up to his friends 20 minutes ago. In order to prevent Cross from going ballistic, he had invited them in for dinner (with Rei cleaning his room in the meantime as payment) Anita stared at the bowl of Japanese soba in front of her and then hesitatingly began eating. Cross gave Kanda a suspicious glare and then proceeded to greedily gobble up the noodles. Allen had already finished his soba. When the three finished eating, Rei popped her head from the doorway.

"Is it safe now?" She asked impertinently. Cross threw his chopsticks at her, which she quickly caught midair and threw into the sink nearby. Rei went over to the dinner table the other 4 sat at and plopped herself in a chair. "So, we need to TALK this out. No guns, dad." Cross glared at his daughter and then tossed Judgment, his gun, at her. "So the issue is Allen's grade. Kanda's here to prevent any fights. Now talk." She finished. Allen gulped and began his monologue.

"So…Mom, Dad. I got a 73% in my Microbiology class right now…and Leverrier will be sure to drop me out of the Biotech program if I don't raise it to 87% by the end of the trimester. And since I want to go into medicine, like Mana wanted me to, I'll raise my grade so I can stay in the program. Don't worry about me, okay? I'm motivating myself…" He said, trailing off at Anita's enraged face.

"HOW can you say to not worry about you? It's parental instinct to worry about their children, blood or not! You, young man, is going to have Rei over there tutor you! No ifs, ands, or buts. So, it's either have Rei tutor you or go the afterschool tutoring. Got that?" She snapped, making Allen wince. Cross snorted at the mini-rant, deciding to put his two bits in.

"So, what's it going to be, fool?" He asked. Allen winced and gulped, opening his mouth to speak, but being verbally run over by Reikyuu when he started talking.

"Mom, Dad. I think that if Allen didn't have to spend so much time interning at the hospital-" she paused to glare at Cross, "He wouldn't be in this situation. So, why not cut down his intern time there, and then watch the effects?" Kanda, who had appeared half-asleep, nodded in agreement, inciting Cross to begin listing more expletives and getting quickly cut off by a rolled-up newspaper in Anita's hand. Allen allowed himself a quick sigh of relief.

"Is that settled now?" Kanda grumbled, standing up and stretching. "Since the Moyashi ("MY NAME'S ALLEN, BAKANDA!" Allen inserted.) wants to be a doctor so badly, I think it's up to him whether to stay in the Biotech program or not. So technically, his grades aren't really your fault. But, have you noticed his eyes? They're bloodshot. Now out of my house!" The family of four was promptly tossed outside by the irate Japanese man.

Anita stood up and dusted herself off, then rushed over to examine Allen's eyes. Unfortunately, Kanda had been correct, and Allen's eyes were visibly rather pinkish. She sighed.

"I'll cut down your intern hours, okay? So get some sleep and study properly." She pronounced with finality. Allen and Rei exchanged glances. Their family might have been rather dysfunctional, but they could get over their problems in less than a year.
