A/N: Okay, I literally just woke up like ten minutes ago! Like for real, I'm eating cold pizza while typing this thing. But enough about me. ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 3- She's Perfect… Too Perfect:

It was a little close to sunset. The Okumura brothers, along with their new student, finally made it home from an interesting day at the cram school.

The twins (mostly Rin) were currently in their room talking about how good of an impression Saya made during the day.

"For the last time Rin, I agree with you. Saya did very well today, so stop worrying that the others won't accept her." He said, briefly glancing away from a good book. The energetic older brother plopped down on his bed with a low thud.

"ARGH! I can't help it though! Yeah, she was amazing, like AMAZING, but something still felt off. Even Tiny Brows was acting crankier than usual." He said, thinking out loud. Yukio finally put his book down and sighed.

"Rin, most likely you're stressing over something that's clearly not in your element. I think if you leave it alone for more than five minutes, whatever bad feeling you have will just blow over." Rin let out a heavy sigh of his own.

"Yeah you're probably right—hey what do you mean, "not in my element"! You tryna say I'm dumb or something?!" Yukio mentally face-palmed himself before he began breaking things down to the elder sibling.

"Rin…"

"What—"

"THEY'RE GIRLS!" Rin cringed at the sudden outburst from his brother.

"What I'm trying to say is that you should let them handle whatever feud is going on." Rin considered his words for about half a second before he stood from his bed.

"I'm gonna go see what Saya's up to." Just as he grabbed the door knob, Yukio spoke again.

"Unlike you she's probably studying. You can't become that smart overnight. You should just leave her be for now." Rin scoffed at him.

"How about I let you know when she doesn't want me around, alright? Besides I can just study with her." Yukio did a double-take on that one.

"I'm sorry what?" the younger twin swore on his life that his ears were betraying him.

"I said I was going to study with her. See you later." He said waving on his way out. Yukio stared at the door long after he left.

I knew she was going to be a good addition to the school but… I didn't think she would have this much of an impact on Rin! The world really has gone mad… he thought.

While Yukio was wondering what the hell possessed his brother, Rin was nearing Saya's door with the intentions of talking with her some more.

He knocked on her door three times before it quickly opened and a cool pale hand dragged him inside, shutting the door after him. He looked at her with a bewildered look on his face.

"O…K… What was that about?" he asked, laughing a little. Saya blushed once she heard his snicker.

"I-It's not funny!" she said, trying to hold in a laugh as well. A clawed hand took hold of her chin.

"Oh yeah? Then why are you laughing?" They both soon stopped laughing once they noticed just how close their faces had gotten.

"Saya…"

You're eyes are so pretty…

"Yes, Rin?"

So are yours…

He leaned his face towards her, their noses touching slightly. He gazed straight into her intense black eyes, briefly asking for permission before he continued. She softened her gaze, letting him know it was okay. His husky breathe ghosted over her lips as he was about to kiss her…

Then the door knob rattled. That alone, made Saya back away from Rin so fast, the speed was inhuman. (A/N: Well duh… she's a demon.)

Rin cursed under his breath, considering killing who or whatever interrupted the mood. The lock on the door clicked from the use of one of those transport keys.

Shit, that must be Shiemi. Wait! What am I getting so angry for? She thought. The door opened, revealing her bubbly blonde friend, clad in her traditional kimono.

"Hi Saya—uh did I interrupt anything just now?" she said, noticing their crimson faces. Rin composed himself faster and responded casually.

Of course you did! They thought simultaneously.

"Wha—no. Anyways, what are you doing here?" he asked. Saya finally got herself together.

"Shiemi came by so we could study together and then after that I'm gonna give her some tips on how to use clothes to her advantage." She said, giggling softly. The boy just shrugged as he picked up a magazine sitting on Saya's desk, and ungracefully sat in her bean-bag chair. The demonnness rolled her eyes and lead Shiemi to her closet.

"Come on. Let's work at my design space." Both girls walked in, shutting the door half-way and sat down in the lounge area. She cut off the TV and turned on her laptop. Instantly, the device began to play soothing piano and rain music.

I (still) cannot believe we almost kissed… isn't it a little early for that? I just met him this morning! This is ridiculous… she thought with a soft blush on her face. Shiemi saw the blush but said nothing about, thinking it was better not to mention anything.

It was about an hour in and the girls have already finished studying three subjects: Beast Taming, Combat 101, and (her favorite subject) Alchemy. The last subject to study was Healing Arts.

"Crap, I left my potion definitions in the other room. Hey, Rin?" she said, knowing the boy could hear her with his heightened hearing.

Rin's eyes were glued to the current magazine. Tears brimmed at the corner of his eyes after reading a column about a girl who pretended to be pregnant. (A/N: God you're so sappy…)

I am not!

"Yeah what's up?" he responded finally.

"Can you bring me my potion notes and Healing Arts textbook? They're sitting on my desk." The boy tore his eyes away from the sentimental article and did what he was kindly asked.

"Woah. Is it like some kind of zen-zone in here?" he said smirking slightly. Saya stood briefly to accept her book and notes.

"Thanks Rin. H-Hey… do you want to study with us? I mean—do you need help studying at all?" The boy stared blankly at her question.

"Uh… studying isn't exactly my style…" he said hesitantly. Saya lowered her eyes in disappointment. The cheery blonde noticed her sudden change in spirit.

"W-Well… It can't be that hard! Come on, try it!" she said forcefully take his arm. Rin grunted in surprise as he was practically thrown onto the sofa.

"Hey Saya, you're good at math aren't you?" asked Shiemi. The demoness nodded slightly.

"Well yeah I suppose—"

"That's great! Rin SUCKS in math. Help him out would you?" she said raising her eyebrows expectantly.

I knew that girl wasn't as innocent as she looks… She thought, understanding her plan. Rin just grumbled to himself.

This is gonna be a long night… and not the kind I was thinking of… he thought.

Ten minutes later…

Kami, when I ever doubt you, you make me have hope again… he thought while in his current situation.

Rin was sitting Indian-style against the sofa with Saya sitting in his lap. She suggested that it would be easier for him to see the page by sitting in front of him. He couldn't agree more, except the fact that he would have to look at numbers. They continued studying.

"Okay… if x-squared plus y equals 300 and y equals twelve, then what is x?" the boy just looked at her like she was crazy, and thus made her sigh in irritation.

"You know, it wouldn't kill you to try." She said, eying him. His hand moved to scratch his head.

"You wouldn't be saying that if all of this looked like a different language to you…" he started. Saya only rolled her eyes. (A/N: I'm surprised they haven't fallen out from how many times she's rolled them…)

"Okay… look." Rin did just that. He watched her pull out a sheet of paper and a pen.

"If you rewrite the problem like this, now it's written as x^2+12=300. What do you need to do to get x-squared by itself?" Rin thought for a moment, as he actually applied himself.

"You… do the… opposite?" he said, guessing his answer. Saya's eyes brightened greatly.

"That's right! And what's the opposite?"

"Hmmm… you subtract?"

"Yes, NOW what does x-squared equal? Do the math on his fingers if you have to!" she said, enthusiacally.

I knew this guy had potential… he just needed a little push is all… she thought while gazing at his concentrated expression.

"Um… I think it equals… two-hundred-eighty-eight?" Saya nodded in confirmation.

"Very good! Now that that's settle, you have to get out." Rin gawked disbelievingly at her.

"WHAAA? What do you mean I have to get out?" he said, standing up, quickly forgetting that a certain someone was sitting on his lap.

"Oh, shit… my bad." He said as he helped her to her feet.

"I know it was only ten minutes but, I promised Shiemi that we would have a girl talk. I promise as soon as we're done that I'll come and get you and we can study some more… okay?" she said touching his arm, soothingly. He looked away for a second before he nodded and exited her room.

On the way back to his room, Rin couldn't help but think about what just happened

Why am I so upset about not studying? Since when did I ever feel like that? This is just… too weird…

He entered the room to find Yukio in the same place since when he left.

"So did you have fun studying?" his brother asked sarcastically. Rin just ignored him and fell onto his bed. He answered his question, muffled through his pillow.

"I did a question by myself… and got it right. But then," he sat up to talk more clearly.

"Then, she kicked me out, saying that she promised Shiemi a girl-talk or whatever. I've never felt so disappointed about not studying before." Yukio hummed in fascination.

"Looks like our new student really is influencing you, Rin. How about we talk more about it in the morning?" he said putting down is book and getting into bed. Rin leaned back in his bed, still pondering about his day deeply.

Earlier… I can't believe I almost kissed her… it was like something inside me was telling me to do it… I've never felt like this before… Saya… what are you doing to me? He thought as his eyes slowly closed and he fell into a light slumber.

Meanwhile, the girls were still active and even bubblier than before.

"Oh my gosh! Okay, let me tell you how to wear that skirt." Saya got up and lead the girl over to a full body mirror standing in the corner.

"Okay, even though you're pretty short, your legs are longer than your torso. If you were going to a party, this short skirt would be perfect! But since you're going to school, it might be a bit much…" Shiemi nodded in understanding.

"Then, what do you suggest I should do?" she asked politely. Saya had a thoughtful expression on her face until she went over to her huge wardrobe. She pulled out a flowy skirt and held it towards her.

"Here. Try this on! Because your hips aren't very wide, this high-wasted, circle skirt will help accent your curves. Now for the shirt," she said pulling out a white button-down from her coat rack.

"I'd prefer to wear polos with ties, but you can use the button-down shirt to your advantage as well." The blonde girl proceeded by tucking in the shirt and buttoning it up all the way. Saya took sight of this and immediately went to her side.

"No, no, no! See, the best way to diminish the size of the breast is by wearing a v-neck top. Fortunately for us, we have adjustable v-necks!" she said, pointing at the buttons.

"Oh… do I want to decrease my breast?" she asked innocently. Saya snorted at the question.

"Of course you do! You don't want guys staring at your boobs all day do you?" she asked in a matter-of-factly tone.

"I guess not…" the demoness went back to her explanation.

"Because this is school, you can just undo ONE button and tie the tie loosely around the collar. Now just roll up the sleeves to the elbow and you'll be casually professional. Now that the top is done," she said as her gaze went towards the floor.

"Let's talk about the shoes. Now, personally, I don't wear long socks with high-wasted skirts unless I'm wearing long boots or stilettos. I doubt you have experience in wearing heels at all so…" she trailed off.

"Um… I think I can handle wearing boots. It would be better to wear shoes I can run in… just in case we ever get into battles." She said with a smile. Those words alone sparked an idea in Saya's head.

"Wait! I have the perfect shoes for you!" she ran all the way to the front of her closet and began to dig through an entire hamper of shoes. Five minutes later she came out with these black hiking boots. She quickly grabbed a skinny black belt from off the floor as well.

"Try these on! They're called Chucks. They're durable, have traction with the ground, and match the belt and tie! Oh, and they look better with socks that pull over the knee." Shiemi nodded happily at her reflection before she yawned exhaustedly.

"Oh… I guess it's getting pretty late huh?" Moriyama turned to face her.

"Yeah… I guess I better get home." With that, she gathered up her books and her kimono, strolling to the door with the magical key in hand. When she opened the door, she looked back at Saya.

"Remember what I taught you!" she yelled with a huge grin.

"Yeah okay… hey, can you do me a favor?" Saya perked up at the question.

"Yeah, sure anything."

"… Can you…" the demoness waited patiently for her question.

"… Um—nevermind. I have to go now…" she said quickly. Just as the door was about to shut, Saya's inhuman hearing picked up the faint sound of her voice.

"Please make Rin happy…" Saya stared long after she left and wondered to herself.

Make Rin happy? What does she mean by tha—OH MY GOD I FORGOT! She screamed inside her head. Her feet padded the cold wood floors as she ran quickly downstairs to Rin and Yukio's bedroom. The door was cracked open, letting the light from their nightstand out when she arrived. Thinking they were both still awake, she tip-toed in only to find them both fast asleep.

She spotted Rin lying in his bed and noticed him holding a book in his hand: Algebra for Exorcists.

Oh Rin… I'm sorry. She thought with a sad smile as she turned off the lamp and turned back to the boy. She knelt in front him, her face hovering over his. The memory of what occurred or what almost occurred flashed through her mind, making her blush a bright crimson.

*sigh* What are you doing to me? She thought as she silently walked back to her room and let her mind slip into a deep slumber as well.

A/N: WELL THAT'S ALL FOLKS! R&R! YOU KNO YOU WANT TO! RECIECUP14 OUT!
