Blue Exorcist - Burning Heart in Blue Flames

By Tayla Drago

Episode 3 # - Brothers

Since the sad passing of Shiro who risked his life saving both Rin and Kiyomi from Satan's grasps, Mephisto got the call to take them in for protecting and becoming exorcists at True Cross Academy starting today. Since Yukio was there to help his brother, to also be close to Kiyomi as well; since her other family members 'that she still had in her life', she must leave behind for their protection from Satan who wants something from her half Shadow Demon powers within this girl, by the Shadow King himself who was also her grandfather to have her poor human mother trapped somewhere in Gehenna.

That's something...Rin will prove to himself that he'll stop his so call father being Satan for killing Shiro to prove that he isn't the son of the devil at all, to also protect Kiyomi too 'since those two made of...Well, sort of contract with each other. And no, nothing to do with getting things done to claim your soul kind of thing', not for Rin. He seems that he has a crush on this girl, unaware of Yukio liking her even more. Beautiful, headstrong girl, tough, easy going, though with a sad past, and kind hearted to be very caring to others to give her life for it by controlling her shadows from within her of the little someone that was part of it. Now as the sun rises for a brand-new day to start, Kiyomi says her good-byes to her Aunt and Uncle to be well protected as she looks at her house one last time for her little friend to be seeing it too. Same with Rin to already be leaving the church as well.

"Well, my friend, this is it. A new life for us. At True Cross Academy for Rin, Yukio, and me." she said to her little Shadow Demon friend. "Say, I didn't get your name. Do you have one?" It nodded a no to Kiyomi to come up with one for the demon. "Hmm...So no name for you, huh? In that case...I'll name you Zuku." Zuku was now the demon's new name and already loves it, for them to shake on it to soon becoming partners to get to know each other by working as a team. "I'm Kiyomi Saki. You've been around me for ten years without knowing each other, let's begin our new life together, okay? For my Mother's sake to try to save her!"

As Kiyomi was pumped up and was all ready to go, Zuku sees something on her back of a strange marking that she never had before, it wasn't a tattoo either, so what was it then? As Rin says his good-byes to his old home where he grew up in along with Yukio to once had fun with Shiro of the good and bad times too, he was worried on what Yukio would say to him on how Shiro died. Hopefully, Yukio wasn't completely mad at Rin. As the four priests say their good-byes, Yukio pays his respects to his step-father once more at his grave to remember the good times himself too, along with Kiyomi as well.

"Kiyomi?" Yukio was surprise to see her.

"I know, I'll miss him too, Yukio." she said with a smile on her face for Zuku to look happy with her. "I have to leave my Aunty and Uncle too just to join this group by stopping Satan. It's crazy."

"At least you're getting along with your inner powers I see." He notices Kiyomi's new friend Zuku.

"Yeah, its name is Zuku, the Shadow Demon. It's my partner to help me get my Mom back, you know? We're starting to talk to each other."

Yukio turns red to see Kiyomi looking so happy.

"That's...good..." he said to be very speechless. "It's going to be fun having you around, Kiyomi."

"It is. Great friends working together. Father Fujimoto doesn't want to have his two sons all sad and feeling down."

Kiyomi tries to cheer up Yukio so he would be alright like Rin was, to know that Shiro wanted them to move on.

"(I think of you more than a friend to me...) Right!" Yukio acted normal around Kiyomi. "You're going to do great."

As back with Rin waiting for Yukio and Kiyomi to show up, a huge long car being pink almost runs into him to move away in time. I think it was Mephisto to be in that vehicle...It looked like he wanted to run over Rin there! Kiyomi arrives only to see Rin yelling at the driver 'also he too has the same marking symbol as Kiyomi does on his back'.

"(Oh, no...)" she muttered.

"Are you blind!? Why don't you watch where you're-!" Rin sees Kiyomi. "Kiyomi."

"You okay, Rin?"

That's when Mephisto speaks to Rin.

"Well, well, looks like another glorious day, isn't it?" he smirks to turn to Kiyomi next. "Hello, Kiyomi..."

She was a bit gross out from him for Zuku to agree with her.

"Please, don't touch me."

"Watch it, clown!" Rin yells at Mephisto. "You got a freaky car...And if you want Kiyomi and I to get in, tell us where we're going to first."

"It's True Cross Academy, right?" Kiyomi asks Mephisto.

"You're right, my dear. Ah, hello, Rin, anybody home? Unless you've forgotten already."

They were right, for Rin was in as Kiyomi was like him.

"To True Cross Academy?" he said.

"Yep, I'm also the Head Master of the place too."

Now he tells them...

"What!?" shock Rin.

"No way!" same with Kiyomi and Zuku too.

Once Rin sees it, he was confused to try poking the demon to feel a bit annoyed to try shooing him away.

"Ah...Kiyomi...?"

"Oh, right. Rin, this is Zuku. You met it already which is also part of me, but we're beginning to get to know each other a bit more. You've seen Yukio, right? This is his older brother Rin. So be nice to him."

Zuku makes a shadow fist to punch Rin away for him to be getting mad at the little demon.

"Hey! That hurt!" The two glared at each other. "Kiyomi, please turn this 'thing' off."

"Sorry, it appears when I want Zuku to. The more training to understanding each other, the better."

"Of course!" yelled out Mephisto. "Starting today, both you devil boy and the lovely Kiyomi are going to become students."

And soon Yukio arrives to be join in and move out for good too with Rin and Kiyomi.

"Sorry I'm late." he said to them.

"Hey, Yukio." Kiyomi waved to him.

"This is great. This way, you and I can stay close together and with Kiyomi too."

"Yukio." said Rin.

"Thank you again for helping us out, Mr. Pheles."

"Mr. Pheles? What happen to Mephisto?" Rin asked.

"Maybe...He wants to keep his identity a secret?" Kiyomi took a wild guess on that one.

But really here's what his real reasons were, but it was still very confusing...

"Well, my real name is Johann Faust V. Get it? Now...Onward, my dear lady and gentlemen! To True Cross Academy we go!"

"Hey!" cried out Kiyomi.

With Mephisto trying to move his arm wrapped around Kiyomi's waist out of nowhere to grabbing her butt to freak out, Zuku pushes him away and Rin got mad again, leaving Yukio to worry about her.

"I said don't touch her!"

And away the three drove off to also be leaving their hometown in Japan. Rin sees that being an exorcist won't be so easy, to see Mephisto being so calm about it just whistling away. To drive into a very long and dark tunnel of the highway.

"(I knew becoming an exorcist won't be so easy for Rin and me, but...Oh, boy. I have to worry about Mephisto's perverted ways and maybe the other boys like him...)"

"Damn..." muttered Rin.

"What's up?" Yukio asked his brother.

"Ah, nothing. Anyways, where were you today?"

"Visiting Dad's grave. Did you go?" Yukio asked.

"I didn't..."

"That figures." he said. "It just like you sometimes, but deep down you care."

Mephisto then speaks up.

"Well, just a few minutes, we'll be arriving at True Cross Campus Town in Tokyo."

Once getting out of the bridge, they see the view of a whole new area of the entire campus place, to other parts of town looking all fantasy-like to an everyday town in Japan, just much odder looking unlike any other.

"Wow...Rin. Yukio. Zuku. Look at this place!" Kiyomi was amazed by it.

"Welcome to True Cross Academy!" Mephisto announces it.

"Holy crap!" said Rin.

Nice area to look so big from a good view, and the building from the outside of it looks so cool.

"Now then...Rin and Kiyomi. You might want to change into your uniforms."

"Great...Now you're telling me?" Rin complained.

Yukio was already in his for Rin to change into his own. But Mephisto has got something special for Kiyomi.

"Got you a nice looking one, Kiyomi."

It was short skirt for Kiyomi doesn't want to wear something that was short around campus.

"Ah! I can't wear that!"

"But I made it for you. That other dress like shirt just won't do, but maybe on my time..."

Rin's nose was almost bleeding out to cover it with his hands in time, from imaging Kiyomi in a girl's uniform to wear in his mind.

"(That would look really hot on her.)" he said to himself.

Yukio handed something else for Kiyomi to wear instead.

"Here, Kiyomi, I think this is more of your taste in clothing."

She sees it in a box to be liking it, more like a boy's uniform instead. Hey! Girls can wear it too.

"Nice...I can't wait to try it on when I settle in my dome. Thanks, Yukio."

"You're welcome."

"So much for my idea..." Mephisto said.

Rin was more worried about Mephisto's behavior around Kiyomi to Yukio not saying anything about that day or about Shiro's death either. So, he says this to his brother instead.

"It's mind blowing, huh Yukio? I mean a dufus like me getting into True Cross Academy like you are..."

"Sorry." he said to Rin. "I was so nervous; I wasn't paying any attention."

Kiyomi tries to cheer the two brothers up in her own words.

"Don't worry, you guys. I'm nervous too. But we can do it if we stick together."

"Guess you're right about that." Rin said.

Mephisto stares at Kiyomi again.

"What is it now?" she asks him.

"Could you change into your new uniform now?"

"You're such a pervert!" Rin said while defending Kiyomi.

"(Look who's talking?)" Mephisto said to himself.

Once inside of the place, the opening ceremony begins for those who are coming into a new year of True Cross Academy 'as Kiyomi gets her school uniform to change in the girl's bathroom'. From her old clothes were gone - she wears a black ponytail to holding he hair up, a white shirt for her boob was a bit bigger to stretch out a little, a black tie, long black pants, and brown rubber shoes with her long purple stockings on her this time. She meets with Rin and Yukio 'since he was giving out to an opening speech', but before she does, she then notices the odd marking symbol from looking at a mirror for Rin to notice back in the car too.

Yukio gets call up to make the speech to the other students, for Rin or Kiyomi didn't know that he made the top ten lists of number one in passing. Well, Kiyomi was the second smartest to Yukio in fighting so well like Rin, just that the older brother doesn't go to school at all. Seems that the other girls are going crazy over Yukio to be cool and hot looking. After the good opening speech, everyone goes back outside to get to know other people, the area more, and their rooms.

"Ah, Rin? Did you know of Yukio being a top-ranking student?" Kiyomi asks Rin.

"I knew he was smart, just...Not super smart."

"No wonder why he keeps out ranking me at our school."

Rin now knows of Kiyomi and Yukio to know each other.

"What!? You know him!?"

"We're just friends. I knew him throughout our school years a lot for help me out so much, he's really nice to me."

Rin was a bit worried about Yukio hitting on Kiyomi.

"Nice!? (He's already making a move on her after growing up together over the years...?)"

Zuku tells Kiyomi to tell Rin not to worry so much to tell him that Yukio and she were only good friends and nothing more.

"I know, Zuku...Rin, listen. Yukio and I are just friends. Best friends."

"You are?" he asked.

"Yeah, we are." she explains. "He's a nice guy, who can make any girl fall for him."

"Oh, and I'm not because...You know..." Rin knows he'll be an outcast like he was before, because of him being a half breed devil that he had to keep a secret about it.

"Because you're a demon? Rin, please. You are you. Shiro was your father, not that Satan beast. So, you're not a monster. Not to Yukio, or to me."

Rin was moved for Kiyomi to be saying those things to him.

"I'm not...?"

"You are you as I said. You're kind of cute."

Rin's heart soon was racing when Kiyomi said that to him.

"(She thinks...I'm cute...? She looks cute too up close. Besides her annoying little demon friend, that uniform suits her better.) You're the first person who ever said that to me..."

Before Rin could get any closer to Kiyomi, she sees the marking on his back.

"Hey, Rin? What's with this tattoo on your back?"

"You notice it too?" he said to Kiyomi. "Don't know, it was just there...Same with yours too. Weird."

"What do you mean?"

They look at them from some mirrors for themselves to each other, being the same and then they soon flip out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! What is this!?"

"I don't know! I don't know!" Rin freaks out too. "It won't come off!"

"Same here! It wasn't there before the whole church battle thing with the demon possessing Reiji, until you saved me..." Then it hits them. "You don't think...?" Kiyomi wondered.

"Crap!" Rin then thought of something. "I think that's when I unleashed the sword to say I wanted to protect you. You were hurt, until lots of blue flames surrounded me, and then...You were all better after that. I don't get it!"

Kiyomi didn't think that would happen to both her and Rin, it wasn't anything bad, just something very special between the two.

"I don't either, but still...This is so weird. (Doesn't look too dangerous at least.)"

Then Rin says this part next.

"Forget it. Let just keep this between us, and me being...You know..."

Kiyomi will make sure that no one else but Mephisto, Zuku, and Yukio 'at least we think he knows about it' to know about Rin being a half devil and all.

"Don't worry, Rin, your secret's safe with me…I mean us. Zuku and me. Still trying to get use to my partner so I'm getting there." She giggles for Zuku then rubs its head to be silly a little.

Rin knows that he can trust Kiyomi a lot and was happy that she and Yukio were only friends, but he doesn't know that.

"Thanks, Kiyomi, I'm glad we met."

"Me too. Listen, Rin, about the other day, when I slapped you..."

Rin stops Kiyomi right there.

"It's alright." he said to her. "I liked it."

"Wait, you did!?" Kiyomi was confused.

"In a way, you meant your feelings to be worried about me. Kind of like that in a woman."

That made Kiyomi turn red a little.

"Come on! You're just saying that."

"I mean it. I'm going to remember that hit forever."

Kiyomi can feel good from Rin to trust him a lot.

"(Rin, he's different from any other guy that I've seen. Such a pure hearted boy with a strong heart to fight as a half breed.)"

It looks like a great beginning for Rin and Kiyomi to get to know each other even more, and Zuku to who was getting use of Rin to trust him if Kiyomi trusts him too. With her wearing a different uniform from the other girls, all the guys were already hitting on her to ignore them or fighting back on her own. While all of the other girls were filtering with Yukio a lot to be so popular already. Seeing Yukio through Rin's eyes to see his younger brother to be so emotional to become a doctor and supporting him will soon come true to be smiling about it. He thinks it was best for Yukio not to get involved into the mess that he wanted to deal with against Satan with Kiyomi by his side, still she thinks of things otherwise from her opinion...

Inside of the dome look like a palace being all fancy-like for Rin to be amazed at just by looking at it, and a lot for Kiyomi to finally be out a lot.

"You got to be kidding me!" he said. "This is a school!?"

"Looks that way, Rin." Kiyomi laughs a little. "Well, it almost looks like a mall to me." The hallways were very nice looking as well like being in a library. "Nice..."

"Wow! Check out those chandeliers!"

Kiyomi never seen Rin this surprised before. And the same goes with the class rooms of different kinds to look so big.

"It's like being in a business building here..." said Kiyomi.

"As if they make this place any bigger than it already is. Damn...Kiyomi, check out these desks here! There are so much bigger!"

"So, I notice." she smiled.

Already for Rin to be new to this, the other girls were already calling him weird to get him a bit upset about it for Kiyomi ignores them for being too rude. And for that, the two headed to their dome rooms to get everything set up to rest up until next week to be a brand-new day for them. Poor Rin, he wasn't good at school to finish up his middle to try getting a job instead of doing high school for it was hard to fit in. Kiyomi had no trouble to be starting over again and to have very good grades in her high school class a while ago. Guess the only thing that matters to Rin now was becoming an exorcist like Kiyomi, but there was one little problem...

"Hey!" shouted Rin. "Where the hell's the dome room!? No one tells me anything!"

"Sorry, Rin, I wish I knew where it was too." They soon hear a dog noise down next to them looking like a type of sheep dog for Kiyomi likes it. "Aw...So cute. Isn't it cute, Rin?" She pats the dog to like the feeling on the head.

"Who let you in?" The dog then moves by pulling Rin's pants to show him something. "What the-? Kiyomi?"

"I think he wants us to follow him. Come on."

Rin and Kiyomi followed the dog outside of the building to lead them somewhere, probably at the dome rooms they were looking for. Out of the building, outside, down the streets, to the dog jumping on to a lamp post, and it turns into...yep, it was really Mephisto who can turn into an animal.

"Dog...? Ah!"

Come to a big shock for both Rin and Kiyomi who neither of them didn't see that part coming.

"Pardon me, you two, but it would have been rude of me to wonder around the hallways during the day." said Mephisto.

"You shape-shifted!" Rin said in shock. "Does every exorcist can do shape shifting too!?"

"Maybe a few..." said Kiyomi.

"Kiyomi! Care to rub my belly next?" Mephisto teases Kiyomi to throw her punches by using her shadow powers to reach to him, but he moves really fast for her to miss Mephisto.

"Quit hitting on me!"

"And to answer your question, Rin, God no. Not all of them can. For me however, it's much different."

"Makes sense I guess..." said Kiyomi.

Mephisto then shows Rin and Kiyomi a key in his hand, one for each other them being the same thing.

"Those keys will allow you two to access the dome of our cram school at any time of the day."

"Cram school?" Rin asked.

"That's where both of you will train to become exorcists." Mephisto explains to them. "Each day you two will attend high school classes, be afterwards you two will be training in our special class to become Pages. While both you, Rin and my sweet Kiyomi, will train by learning to become exorcisms, you'll each consider as two exorcists in training. Your high school classes don't begin until next week; but cram school, well that starts today." Mephisto walks up to the two. "You two are ready to begin?"

Kiyomi tries to be strong with Zuku by her side.

"We are to save my Mommy."

"By controlling your Shadow powers, I see, not bad. And you, Rin?"

Rin was more than ready for anything now.

"I'm never been ready. (Glad Kiyomi is.)"

"Indeed." Mephisto said. "I must warn you two though...Rin, it's best to keep your secrets of being the son of Satan to yourself, okay? Kiyomi, you do the same to keep quiet like a good girl for me. No worries about your ears, teeth, and tail are fine, but the flames are a no, no. You make sure that you can control yourself."

Rin hates to be told sometimes, knowing that the blue fire part was serious to look out for if he fights again.

"Fine. I'll do my best." he said.

"Fabulous!" said Mephisto to walk near the sidewalks. "Very well, let's get to it!" He then jumps off the edge.

"Hey!"

"He really jumped." Kiyomi said to her surprise.

But Mephisto was fine being not too far down to where the door was underneath Rin and Kiyomi.

"Now then, try using the key to open this door here."

"Yeah, sure..." Rin jumps down hard on to the ground, for Kiyomi jumps down next for Zuku stops her fall carefully for her to fall on top of Rin's chest.

"Ah! Rin! Be careful!" she said.

"Ouch! (Why did she have to land on top of me if she can control her fall...!? Then again...Her butt's soft and-! A-AH! What am I saying!?)" Rin gets up in time to have his face red all over.

"You all right, Rin? Be more careful next time."

"I'm fine! I'm fine!"

Mephisto lies on the ground near Kiyomi's feet.

"Do me next!"

"I'm opening the door now!" shouted Rin. Once Rin uses one of the keys to opening the unknown door, it opens. To show another class room of a huge long hallway for him and Kiyomi to be amazed into seeing all of this. "Wow!" said Rin.

"You said it." same with Kiyomi in being very surprised about it.

"The freshmen class is in Room 1106." said Mephisto. "This way."

"Okay."

The two followed Mephisto to that room that they needed to go to.

"Here we are. Oh, and I'll be sitting with you two for today."

"Huh? (Is this guy for real!?)" Kiyomi already doesn't like that.

"Oh, shit." said Rin. "Now I'm getting nervous."

Mephisto then goes into his dog form again to also talk in it as well.

"All ready to go."

"Wait! You can talk in that form!?" Rin was surprised to hear.

"You want to be an exorcist like Kiyomi, right? You better make up your mind before you open that door."

"Come on, Rin, we have to." Kiyomi and Zuku already place their hands on the door knob, and hopefully Rin will do the same thing. And so, he does. Once opened, they see a few students there being seven kids and the room looked...a bit run down. "Wait...This, is it?" Kiyomi was confused and so was Zuku.

"(Great, what a dump.)" Rin said to himself and then introducing himself to everyone. "I'm Rin Okumura, nice to meet you."

Rin finds a place to sit down as Kiyomi does the same to introduce herself to the students next 'with Mephisto as a dog joins with them'.

"And I'm Kiyomi Saki, same here. Along with my inner powers and my partner name Zuku."

Zuku waves to everyone nicely. Lucky for Kiyomi gets to sit down with Rin at the same desk together.

"What's up with everyone here?" Rin asked.

"You got me." said Kiyomi. "This whole room looks run down."

"They're exorcists in training, learning the ropes like you two are." Mephisto explained. "Some want to become one while others are inflicted for other reasons of their own."

Seven kids so far 'plus Rin and Kiyomi' makes it nine now. Who are they you ask? I'll tell you. Ryuji 'Bon' Suguro, a tough guy with attitude but with skills. Izumo Kamiki, a girl born with a gifted power of the spirits who comes from a shrine in her family. Konekomaru Miwa, a smart kid who's also a monk in casting spells. Renzo Shima, a lady's man who's a scary cat with a staff to use in battle that's very powerful. Nemu Takara, a shy and quiet little kid who plays with a puppet with some magic skills. Noriko Paku, a friend of Izumo's who can fight well. And Yamada...I'm not so sure about that unknown person in a hoody and plays video games, so yeah…Since they have their reasoning's to fight or to be born with a gift to control them, Mephisto knows of Rin must control his at times to be born as the son of Satan. He had to rub it in his face, didn't he?

"Look, Mephisto, Rin is Rin and nothing more. Be nice to him." said Kiyomi.

"Oh, a feisty one...I like her..." he just smiled in his dog form. "Looks like the teacher has finally arrived."

And soon comes in the teacher of the class room itself being to Rin's surprised but Mephisto or Kiyomi's to already know who it was.

"Greetings, student. I'm your instructor, Yukio Okumura."

It was him, for Rin didn't see this one coming at all.

"Should've known it was Yukio..." Kiyomi said quietly.

"WHAT!?" Rin shouted out loud. "Yukio!? Kiyomi, how did you know!?"

"Look, I just had a feeling is all, okay? It just your brother."

As Yukio smiles to know from the beginning to become a teacher there, he already knows about the whole thing that Rin and Kiyomi were getting themselves into. Too late to turn back now I guess.

"Hello, everyone." he said to the students. "I'm the new instructor of the Anti-Demon Pharmacology."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Okumura." said Izumo to speak up first.

"Please to meet you, sir." same with Paku.

"And, Kiyomi." Now Yukio was talking to Kiyomi next. "If you need anything, anything at all...Just ask me."

"Okay...?" she goes along with it.

Though Kiyomi sees Yukio was being nice to her, she must respect him during the class as a teacher leaving Rin a bit jealous over his little brother.

"(Watch it, Yukio...! Don't you dare flirt with her!)"

"What's up, sir?" said Shima with his hand up.

Rin gets up from his seat to say something to Yukio.

"What the hell, Yukio?"

"Rin, calm down..." Kiyomi said to him.

"Is there a problem?" Yukio asks Rin without a care in the world.

"What do you mean, 'Is there a problem'!? There's a problem alright! What's your problem!?"

Then Yukio says this part to only be smiling instead.

"Though I'm the same age as all of you are, I prefer you call me Teacher during class please." he said. "I've been studying exorcism since I was seven, and I finished the last of my courses two years ago."

Rin never heard of Yukio doing that and for Kiyomi was her first-time hearing about this.

"Really?" she wonders.

"Since you were...Seven?" said Rin. "You're kidding..."

"He happens to be the youngest one to pass in becoming an exorcist first." Mephisto explained. "One of the top ranks of an exorcist that he is, a top genius in his field."

Yukio gets to work by being a teacher.

"Alright, let's get started. Is there anyone in this class who haven't resist a temptaint?"

Only three people raise their hands plus Kiyomi as well to have been born with it.

"(That goes double for me too...)" she said.

"Okay, four." said Yukio. "Well, in that case let's start with a temptaint route."

They know what it is to those who have it like Kiyomi too but Rin.

"A what now?"

"They can summon demons, and those who don't have it will get their temptaint." explained Mephisto.

"I'm surprise that Kiyomi has it." said Rin.

"With good reasons, too. She was born a half demon. Her father was a Shadow Demon warrior from protecting this world and the other from many wars, until his own father turned against him to hating the rules, kidnapped his human wife after giving birth to Kiyomi, and saving her in time to live with her older human sister and her husband who raised the girl. Since then, poor Kiyomi has been having trouble fitting in to try making some friends; to pass her classes so well, she gets into fights to become stronger to protect others and tries to controll her powers well at a time thanks to Father Fujimoto over the years when she was growing up, Yukio aided her in school a lot to pass with flying colors compare to him. So, with that to being human and a half Shadow Demon within her, she was born to see and hear demons on her mother's side of the other family. Her grandfather also known as the Shadow King's a monster, and a sick alley to Satan to have that power by any means necessary, even to use his own half breed granddaughter like her. That's why she also needs protection in to becoming an exorcist. A strong tough woman with beauty, she wants to use her powers for good, and not for evil."

Rin now knows all about Kiyomi for she was almost like him while she was growing up like he was. They were the same.

"(She's...Just like me...Poor Kiyomi.)"

"Wow, I could really fall for her." Mephisto said.

"Not happening!" said Rin.

"What? You jealous?" he teases Rin.

"Shut up!" he sure was in having his face turn red again. As Yukio started explaining to the students about the room being filled with week demons known as Goblins to tell them that they're not so dangerous at all, this was going to be Kiyomi's test for him to set up for her and a few other students on this one. Rin wonders on how this will work out on his first day. "(Yukio, what's going on? Wait...!)" Rin gets up to say something to his brother. "Hey, Yukio!"

"Class is in session." he said back. "Would you please sit down?"

Guess that Yukio knew about Rin from the very beginning.

"(You knew all along...About Dad...And me...?)" he thought of two saying this to Yukio.

"Ah, Rin? (What's he doing now?)" said Kiyomi.

"Come on, Yukio! Talk to me!" Rin goes up to Yukio to grab him by the arm. "Hold up a sec!" he said to him. "We need to talk, man! Right now!"

So, Yukio speaks up to Rin.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asked.

"Don't play dumb!"

Now things were getting serious here for the others to hear and see this even for Kiyomi.

"He's done it now." said Mephisto.

"He did..." and then Kiyomi.

"Alright, if that's what you want." Yukio said to Rin. "Everyone, please set outside for a moment. I need to speak to Mr. Okumura in private."

"Geeze...That kid's a huge pain in ass...!" said Bon to get up from his seat.

And so, the seven kids leave the room for Mephisto keeps Kiyomi company.

"Should I leave or what...?" she wonders.

"No, no, you're alright, Kiyomi, you might want to stick around for this one. Let the brothers talk to each other."

"I guess so."

And so, they wait as Rin wanted some answers from Yukio right away.

"We're alone. If you wish to ask me something, now's your chance." Yukio said to Rin.

"Would you knock it off!?" he said in anger. "Just dropped the act! I want to know what's going on!" Rin looks at Mephisto for some answers.

"Rin, give Yukio a rest!" said Kiyomi.

"Not until I get some answers...! Sorry, Kiyomi, but I need to know."

Mephisto then turns to Yukio.

"Well, you heard the man. Explain away."

And so, he does, for Rin and Kiyomi 'with Zuku too' for they listen in.

"Is like I already said earlier...I became an exorcist two years ago." he explains it all. "And when I was seven, that's when I started training for it right after Dad subjected it."

This was very new for Rin to be hearing all of this.

"The old man? You knew about the work he was doing? You knew this whole time?"

"Yeah...You know? Come to think of it, I knew that Father Fujimoto didn't work alone." said Kiyomi. "This makes sense. (I knew he was working and studying hard, I just never thought it would be something like this.)"

"I did." Yukio said into being serious. "Sorry, Kiyomi, I should had told you first about my daily job other than my other daily life. And about Rin being born a bit differently."

Shocking to both Rin and Kiyomi to learn about the truth.

"Really?" said Kiyomi.

"You were the only one who didn't know, Rin. I got my temptaint when I was born. You were the demon who gave it to me. I was able to see demons if I can remember."

Just like Kiyomi was as well, Yukio was born with that power while Rin's had to be sealed away.

"No way..." said Rin. "What the hell? Why did you keep it a secret? Why didn't you say anything!? Why didn't you tell me about it before!?"

"Rin! Stop!" shouted Kiyomi.

"Let go of me!" Yukio said.

"Answer me, Yukio!" shouted Rin at his brother. Rin pushes Yukio's body too close to the desk for the bottle of the blood that attracts goblins falls on the floor to break out of the tube. "Ah, damn! That sticks!" Rin said to be hating the smell.

"That doesn't look good..." Kiyomi pointed out to the boys.

Soon the room goes up in steams all over to have lots of the goblin-like demons 'like the one from episode 1' to come out all over the place, about to attack Rin, Kiyomi uses Zuku to make it into a fly swatter to push them all away, allowing Yukio to use his guns to blast them all into bits. He was a very good shooter.

"Nice one, Kiyomi!" Rin cheers Kiyomi on.

"Thanks. And thank you, Zuku."

The two high five each other, for Rin never knew that Yukio was good at his job.

"Yukio?"

"Those are Hob-Goblins, Rin." he said to Rin. "Now that we rob them up, there's going to be more. I'll take care of them, while you wait out-!"

But Rin stops his brother from talking.

"I'm not done yet!"

"Ah, guys…!" Kiyomi stops them. "The demons! We should probably stop them, like now!"

So, Yukio shoots out the rest for Kiyomi to do the same thing by trapping their shadows for him to finish them off, while Rin was continuing to talk to his brother.

"All these years...All that time...What did you think of me?"

"Rin! Now's not the time!"

But Yukio answers for Rin anyways.

"What do I think of you?" he said. "That should be easy..." After shooting a few more goblins. "I mean you are a demon, aren't you? As far as I was concern, you were a threat! You still are."

Shocking to Rin, Kiyomi kind of got mad at Yukio for saying that to his own brother.

"How can you say that to your own brother, Yukio!? That just too cruel of you! That's low! Weak!"

"(Kiyomi...)" Rin didn't think of Kiyomi to be supporting him.

After Kiyomi and Yukio stopped more demons coming for Zuku to fire out lots of long but fast pasting sharp fingers to stab them all into dust.

"What, Kiyomi? I'm just speaking the truth. Sorry you had to hear that too." he said to her. "This is Rin here. I mean, my God, you're such an idiot. And it's a mystery to me on why you want to become an exorcist. I get it from Kiyomi's point of view, but for you...For revenge? Or maybe you're trying to fill from your father's debt?"

Soon more and bigger goblins pop out behind Yukio.

"Ah...Yukio?" Kiyomi pointed out to him.

"That's on how I feel, you should surrender the Knight of the True Cross." He shoots the rest of the demons for Kiyomi to cut them down too. Then Yukio says this to Rin in either being true or just cold hearted. "Better yet, you should just die."

"Okay! Now I'm against this!" Kiyomi then uses Zuku to smack Yukio to the face hard.

"Kiyomi!" he shouts at her.

"Sorry, but I'm against this! Rin saved my life! Father Fujimoto put his own life on the line to stop Satan in time! Related to the king of hell or not, you...! You don't treat your older brother like that, Yukio! You're as twisted as Satan himself!"

"How dare you!" he said.

"What's wrong!? I'm only speaking the truth here!"

Then Rin speaks up to try to say something to Yukio next.

"You think it's my fault the old man was killed?" said Rin. "Is that it?"

"Still...Still, would I be wrong if I did? I know about you saving Kiyomi's life and everything else, I knew. Dad was trying to protect you the whole time. Even I knew that. Our Father was the only one who couldn't try to be posse by Satan, but that wanted to make Satan possessing him even more! His will power could keep him safe for the past 15 years. Our Father was the most powerful exorcist of all!"

Both Yukio and Kiyomi kept on killing more and more goblins that were coming at them.

"This is getting crazy here..." Kiyomi complained.

"Our Father wouldn't let Satan take control of him, something must have shattered his soul then." said Yukio. "To break his heart. You said something to him, didn't you?"

Rin does remember saying to Shiro 'not to see him acting like his father ever again' for Kiyomi to listen in on that day too before she could slap some sense into him.

"(Crap! Rin did say that to Father Fujimoto! He didn't mean to!)" Kiyomi remembers. "Rin! It wasn't your fault! It wasn't his fault, Yukio!"

Once Yukio clear the empty shell from his gun, to get new ones in to it, he points one at Rin.

"If our Father had a weakness, I say...It was you. You're the one who killed our father!"

"Stop it now!" Kiyomi begged of Yukio not to shoot his own brother.

Then Rin says this to Yukio.

"Listen, I know that I'm an idiot. Say what you want...I don't care. At least Kiyomi's trying on her end. But you know what?" Suddenly, Rin's hand begins to burn up all blue fire.

"Rin! Your hand! (This is bad...!)"

"I'm still your brother damn it." Rin said. "Do not point your gun at me. We're brothers!"

From Rin's energy going all over the place like a powerful wind for Yukio, Mephisto, Zuku, and Kiyomi to feel that one out, soon in comes another huge goblin in the room. Going into his demon form, Yukio still pointed his gun at Rin. Kiyomi had to tell him something else.

"Rin, sorry about this..."

He allows it for he knew what Kiyomi was talking about.

"It's fine."

"Yukio, when Rin saved my life...These markings appeared on our backs! To prove he's devoted to save me as he did from Satan! See!? (I think I understand what they are now...)"

Yukio sees it to be confused about it.

"What...What are those...?" he asked. "What did you do to her, Rin!?"

Rin gets his sword out.

"Yukio, stop this!" he said to his brother. "I did not kill the old man, but if you really want to shoot me...Go ahead! Shoot!" Rin goes charging in at Yukio for he was unable to shoot him. Instead he slices and dices the big goblin to bits to be dead for good to Mephisto's surprise there.

"Alright, Rin! That was awesome!" Kiyomi was proud to see Rin fight in battle.

"Don't insult me...I'm not going to fight my little brother." he said to Yukio.

"See, Yukio? If Rin will use his powers for good, for others, for me, and for you too...He can do anything. I trust him with this marking of mine and his are enough proof."

With that, Yukio does trust in his older brother and in Kiyomi's words. He felt foolish there, so he had to ask Rin this next question.

"What was Father like before he died?"

And all Rin could tell his brother was this part...

"He kicked ass. He died trying to protect Kiyomi and me until the very end."

Then he looks at Kiyomi for her to agree with Rin and Zuku too.

"He did. It was cool. I joined in to try stopping my so call grandfather to save my Mom. She's still alive." said Kiyomi.

"She is?" Yukio was shocked to hear the good news there.

Rin continues talking.

"And you know why I want to be an exorcist?" Rin asked Yukio to answer for him. "It's not about revenge or anything like that...I just...! Want to become stronger...! I want to be strong so no one else dies because of me! Almost lost Kiyomi who saved my life on that night...I don't want it to happen to her or to anyone else I care about! Not ever again!"

Kiyomi was surprise to hear that coming from Rin to be all true.

"Rin, really...?"

From Yukio hearing from Rin's words to see how much that Kiyomi trusts him so much, to remember when he was young to be afraid a lot to cry and to be born from seeing and hearing demons a lot. For Shiro to always cheer his son up, he knows where Rin was getting at in to being serious. Also for Kiyomi to become stronger to save those that she cares about like her mother again and her half kind not really her family to begin with, he then smiles.

"Like me." he said.

"Huh?" confused Rin.

"You say something, Yukio?" Kiyomi ask.

"I wanted to be stronger too. And it's because on what Dad said to me that I became an exorcist; you see we want the same thing, Rin. But know this, I'll keep that markings a secret. Seems you do care for Kiyomi to devoting your life so...Protect her, as she protects you, and I'll protect her too. And if you want to become an exorcist, what I said earlier will follow you throughout your life. Exorcists hunt down demons, so some of them will be gunning down for you, they won't be easy than I am with you. Don't you ever forget that, big brother."

Zuku goes up to Rin to be liking him already since Kiyomi cares.

"He will, I got his back." said Kiyomi patting Rin's back.

He then smiles.

"Got it, teacher sir. And Kiyomi, thanks for telling me about these symbols. They're lame looking, I'll keep it. If it means protecting, you like I promised."

Kiyomi could only do there and for her to smile at both Rin and Yukio.

"Thanks, Rin. And thank you, Yukio, for understanding."

He turns red in front of her.

"It's nothing...! If you're happy, then I'm happy too." Yukio then gets the students back inside the room. "Sorry to keep you waiting, students. Shall we continue on with our lessons?"

Once they got back inside, it was a very big mess to see.

"What happened here!?" Paku ask.

"What's wrong with this room?" asked Miwa too.

And all that Rin, Yukio, and Kiyomi could do was to smile and just stand there like nothing happened at all.

"Forget the room, what's up with them?" Bon wondered.

"It's all good." Kiyomi responded.

And soon after along first day of the special class comes to an end 'for now', as both Rin and Kiyomi try finding their domes somewhere thanks to Yukio's help.

"602...Oh, here it." Rin said to see Kiyomi's room was right next door to his. "Awesome! We're closer to each other, Kiyomi!"

Rooms 602 and 603, the two were going to be a bit closer than ever now.

"That' awesome!" Kiyomi was happy to see that. "Zuku's my roommate and we can still see each other! Ya!"

With excitement and joy, Yukio comes up from behind Rin to Kiyomi's surprise to show up like this.

"Ah! What are you doing here!?" Rin asked.

"Yeah, what's going on?" Kiyomi also asks Yukio.

"Surprise."

Yukio turns on the lights to show that the two brothers were staying in the same room, with another door connected to Kiyomi's which was also cool to have.

"A door connected to mine? Nice...Oh, Yukio's moving in with Rin too." Kiyomi was right about that.

"I got the school to bend the rules with me, and you, Kiyomi, and I have the whole building to ourselves." Rin was really surprised now. "Hey, you're dangerous." said Yukio. "Someone has to keep an eye on you besides Kiyomi here. And no funny business between you two!"

Was Yukio just saying that in being jealous or to make sure that Rin wasn't being a pervert to Kiyomi?

"Wait...Watching me? Hey! I would never be a pervert to Kiyomi! You kidding me!? Mephisto's ten times worse around her! I must keep that clown from touching her all the time! I mean, come on! From that and to this! I'm like in prison or something!?"

"Yukio, be nice." said Kiyomi.

"I am, don't worry. I know you're not a pervert, Rin." Yukio explained. "And more like that, yes...That means I'm the warden. You do want to become an exorcist like Kiyomi too, right?"

"We do." she said. "And what's with Rin being a pervert...?"

"He meant nothing! Don't listen to him!" Rin said while panicking like crazy.

"It's a small price to pay when you think about it." Yukio replies.

Then Rin says this to his brother.

"If that's how it's gonna be...Okay, bring it on."

"Good to hear, I guess..." said Kiyomi for Zuku to agree with her.

"That's the spirit." Yukio said to Rin. "Alright, now let's get that homework assignment out of the way. Kiyomi, I can help you out if you like."

"Okay, thanks."

Kiyomi studies hard like Yukio, but Rin wasn't so good with it.

"Homework...?" he complains.

"That's what I just said..."

"Okay! Okay! I'll do it! Kiyomi, could you help me out?"

"Sure. Why not?"

Seems that a whole new beginning now for Rin and Kiyomi to study and train hard for Yukio will watch over them, in more ways than one. To keep things a secret, training into becoming exorcists, studying hard at their new high school, stopping demons, and sticking together for Yukio knows that Kiyomi was safe around Rin. For some parts, really...

"I said, no pervert things, Rin..."

"I am not!" he yells at Yukio.

And Kiyomi was still lost.

"Come again...?"

A triangle of love between the brothers and one gifted girl, for it is crazy and then crazier on other things as it's going to soon get...Anything's something else but Mephisto being a bigger pervert around Kiyomi, rather deal with Yukio and Rin instead. Ha! :D More to come around to enjoy more of the action here.
