The First meeting

Fifteen years later

-The Monastery-

The Monastery seemed almost lonely now that Yukio was finally leaving to attend True Cross Academy, at least that's how Shiro felt the moment. It was hard for him to accept, that after fifteen years that the boy, who was the youngest to ever become an exorcist, wasn't going to be around daily.

The Paladin was sitting in a pew, praying to himself as he heard a pair of doors open but he didn't turn around as he figured it was probably one of the priests.

"Oh, there you are, I thought I would find you here," Yukio said from the entrance of the Monastery, slightly out of breath but smiling as the old man turned around to face him, "You have no idea how long I've been looking for you!"

Shiro chuckled sadly before forming a response, "I'm sorry, Yukio, I didn't know you were still around, I assumed that Mephisto had already picked you up to take you to True Cross Academy. I guess I've just been too lost in my own thoughts."

Yukio smiled sadly at his father and made his way to sit in the pew right next to him, playing with his fingers awkwardly. To be honest, he never was good when it came to talking, he was well known for that.

"It's okay, Father, I understand, I really do," Yukio replied sadly as he leaned against Shiro, who then wrapped an arm around him, "Honestly, you can be so silly sometimes. Just because I'm leaving the monastery that doesn't mean you won't see me again. I'll only be a call away."

While Yukio was right, that simply wouldn't do. Both of their schedules were far too busy to see each other so frequently, especially since he himself was a Paladin. Demons never really stopped to take a break.

"Well that maybe but that won't stop me from missing you but don't worry about me, you have a life of your own," Shiro sighed, "You're a fine exorcist and teacher and for that I am proud. Just promise me you'll stay safe while your away."

Yukio chuckled and shook his head, "You know that I don't need you around to stay safe, I can handle myself. Anyway, I came into say one last goodbye before Mr. Pheles shows up, I have to keep out look for his pink limo."

The younger exorcist stood up and gave his father one last hug before getting out of the pew and heading out the door. See you later father.

-In Mephisto's Limo-

The fancy pink Limousine wasn't too far away from the Monastery by now. Really it never took that long to get there, especially since the limo driver was very impatient.

Inside the limousine sat the usually cheerfully Mephisto. He sat with his legs crossed, one leg swing rather fast as if he was trying to hold back some sort of excitement. Now, sitting beside him was a very uncomfortable Rin, who looked much neater than he was used to. He always had to look all dressed up when he presented to the public.

It was rather hard to believe that this clean boy in front of him was (and sometimes still is) a stubborn boy with an attitude problem. Occasionally he acted up but that was easily fixed. Unfortunately, it had taken him far too long to get the young demon to this point.

Unlike the older demon, Rin did not look excited at all, in fact he was the complete opposite. He hated going out and sometimes Mephisto tended to embarrass him a lot, well actually that happened quite a lot. In any case, Rin was bored out of his mind and he wasn't looking forward to meeting some boy that was apparently his brother. His full-blooded brother and not just his half-brother like Mephisto.

"You know, you should look a little more excited, aren't you excited to meet your long-lost brother?" Mephisto ask cheerfully and nudged the younger demon slightly, "It's as if destiny is finally uniting you two for the first time!"

The younger demon simply rolled his eyes in response. Why would he be excited when he never even met this boy before? Yeah, they may be siblings but the only time they'd be in the same room as each other was when they were babies and even than he still didn't know him. To him he was just another typical human.

"I told you before we even left that I wasn't interesting in meeting someone that played no part in my life, even if he is my brother, I don't see why it should matter," Rin muttered and sighed, "Why are you so excited anyway?"

"Now, Rin, I am pretty sure that we talked this over this morning. Honestly, where did your manners go, hm?" The demon tsked and shook his head, "I brought you here because I thought it would be nice for you to finally meet Yukio. He really is a nice fella, you know. Besides, there is the matter of a public image. Both of you are the smartest boys and the top of your classes. I think it's appropriate to get familiar with each other.

Of course, Mephisto would bring up public image. It was almost as if that's all that mattered to the older demon, or so that's what Rin thought. Still, it was apparently something he had to worry about too, otherwise who knew what repercussions it might cause. Mephisto was an important figure at this school as the director, or owner.

"I guess since you care about it so much, I can at least try to get along with him but that's all I am going to do, got that?" Rin sighed, staring at his brother for a moment before looking away once more. "When we will be there? I just want to get this over with already."

Mephisto couldn't help but grin at his brother's words and simply nodded. That's really all he asked for, an effort to follow the orders he had provided him.

"That's good enough for me, glad we understand each other," Mephisto smirked and looked out of the window, "You're in luck, it seems we have finally arrived."

A few minutes after the limousine had stopped, one of the doors opened and Yukio stepped inside, closing the door behind him before sitting down. He smiled and waved Mephisto and got comfortable in his seat. Once he did so the driver took off once more to head to the academy.

"Good morning Mr. Pheles, it's nice seeing you again," Yukio said politely and waved at the two other males before raising an eyebrow at Rin, "Would you mind telling me who this is? I don't recall seeing him before."

"I was about to say the same thing to you, my dear Yukio, I trust things are going well," Mephisto said brightly as he waved back at Yukio, "Oh, pardon my rude behavior. The young man beside is my brother Rin and no you haven't seen him. He doesn't like to get out very often, you see."

Yukio smiled at the other boy, who seemed to be distracted by something else to even pay attention to him. Still he sighed and waved at Rin before greeting him, "Oh, everything has been great, thank you for asking," Yukio said brightly, "Nice to meet you Rin, I didn't even know Mr. Pheles had a brother."

Rin turned his head to smile at Yukio and returned the wave. Although he put on the appearance of someone who seemed polite and excited, it was all one surprisingly good act.

"Trust me, the pleasure is all mine, I've heard so much about you," Rin greeted and leaned forward slightly, "My brother says nothing but nice things about you, so it's nice to finally meet the famous Yukio. Ah, yes, well since I don't really go out that often there are a lot of people that don't see me. I don't like too much attention."

Yukio looked surprised for a moment. He wasn't away that he'd been praised so much but he didn't mind too much. It made him happy knowing that he was making some sort of positive impact. However, he couldn't help but feel like he should know him from somewhere, strange…

"Does he? Well I guess I must let my reputation precede me," Yukio chuckled awkwardly.

After that there seemed to be a long moment of silence and it honestly made things feel a little more awkward. So, Mephisto broke the ice by clear his throat and once again smiling and the two of them.

"Well, I'm happy to see that you two are hitting it off right from the get-go," Mephisto beamed, "I think you two will get along famously, oh, and by the way. Did I mention my brother will be the taking the same classes as you, he is extremely intelligent, you see. You two have a great future ahead of you."

"I look forward to attending classes with you," Rin said brightly as the limousine finally pulled over, "See you around."

With that Yukio waved goodbye and opened the door, smiling at the two demons before exiting the limousine. Rin was about to step out himself but Mephisto apparently wanted him to stick around because he'd pulled him back down.

"Remember everything I told you and do your job well, after all, you know what would happen if disobey me, don't you?"

Rin shuttered in response, not even wanting to think of the consequences. Any punishment from Mephisto was never a pleasant one. It comes to show that one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The older demon wasn't exactly the nicest demon at times.

"I remember the last time you punished me, so you don't need to worry about anything like that," Rin said quietly, "I'd rather not go through that again."

"You better keep that promise, who knows, maybe I'll reward you for good behavior later," Mephisto whispers seductively, "Oh, and I have one last task for you."

"Y-yes, brother, what do you want?" Rin stutter, blushing slightly, "I'll do anything you ask me to do."

"I know it may be hard for you but I would like to you get close to Yukio, as close as you want to but not too close, got that? It's very important that you do so," Mephisto said, turning serious, "If you find anything that you think I should know, tell me as soon as possible, got it?"

"So basically, you want me to get close to someone who will possibly try to kill me, making it very dangerous?" Rin smirked for a moment, "I suppose it could be fun, I'm game."

The two simply grin at each other before Rin gets up and exits the vehicle, closing the door on his way out.

|Woot! Two chapters out in one day! I must be on a roll... Well actually the other one was already typed up and beta-read. Anyway, here is another chapter. Oh and just to get this out there because on the other one there were some people who thought I would do the Yukio/Rin ship, that isn't going to happen. Thanks for reading!|
