HI GUISE,

sorry that this chapter is lame, but I only had about ten minutes to write it down, although this is just 1/4 of the real chapter. It was really, really long. ;_;

Anyway, i'll try getting on sometime soon and upload what's left as the fifth chapter. And believe me, it even made ME shiver. 8D

Okay, enjoy~~

AND PLUS, thank you for the reviews, they mean so much to me~

DISCLAIMER: I WON AO NO EXORCIST, IT'S MINE NOW, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


I was hiding in the bushes and watching the square in front of my dorm.
Inhaling and exhaling slowly I was trying to catch any sound or movement that would show me someone's here besides me.
I wanted to know, just be sure, that the pink haired one will come.

01:01. One minute after one.

Maybe he wrote this at the beginning of the week? Shit.
I took the note out and read it carefully again.
I exhaled calmly after finding a little scribbled date and a signature. It was written so that only a frikin flea could read it.
I giggled at my unbelievably good sense of humor and lifted my head up to scan the area again.
To my shock - he was sitting at the middle bench. I turn around for 10 seconds and he's there!
The asshole was looking around nervously.
I put all my strenght into standing up and it took all of my will power to actually walk down the square and face him after not going to school for a week.
I still couldn't look him straight in the eye, so i stopped 5 feet away from the bench.
Shima cut the silence.

"Rin. You came." i couldn't hear even a hint of pain in his voice, in fact, he was talking with high interest. Again!

"I only came here to apologise. I don't need anything else from you." I said.

A loud sigh. Shit.

'Even a friend?" He asked.

My heart pounded. A friend...

I finally laid my eyes on him. Shima tapped on the bench as if he was asking me to sit beside him.

"Sit. I promise, I won't do anything that would make you feel uncomfortable."

I don't know why, but I trusted him at this moment. How can bad feelings just disappear after a week of not seeing him? I was sure I would start hating him after hour and a half or so again.
I sat at the other side of the bench, just to be far away from him and show Shima that I trust him, but still not enough to sit near him.

Shima clenched his hands together and stared at me silently.
His honey mixed with gold eyes made me feel dizzy. Even though it was really dark outside, I could still feel heat emerging from the depth of his eyes. I coud see his look as though it was day.

"I'm sorry that I hurt you the other day. I didn't mean it - I usually don't do these kinds of things."

Shima laughed.

"I know, Bon told me everything about you before he knew you were Satan's son. I figure you still haven't changed. Still the same friendly and hella sexy guy~~"

A bush near Shima caught blue fire.

"Ok, OK, i will never EVER MENTION THIS AGAIN in my ENTIRE LIFE, I PROMISE." Shima, scared to death, rushed over to my side of the bench and accidentaly fell on top of me.

A few seconds... It took a few seconds to understand what happened. Renzou was far...far too close for a friend. At least I knew I wasn't the only one to be red faced. When Shima drew back - his face was as red as Red Riding Hood's hood. The silence wasn't excruciating. It was pleasant, kinda warm...
And then I heard those few words that changed my life again.

"I'm not going to push you, Rin. But please, can we at least try being friends, it wouldn't hurt, right?"

Feelings rushed into my heart, flooded my whole body like a volcano. I didn't notice how I ended up in Shima's arms. I couldn't feel my tears flow down my cheeks, i didn't care about anything at that moment. Shima endured everything. I was only trying to believe my own lies, that I was meant to be alone. That I wanted to be alone. Shima proved me wrong. Very wrong.


I knocked on the classrooms door and went in as silently I could.
I was breathing heavily, because of the miles I had to run to cram school. It was hard to last without my brother's rules. He was the one to get me up for school. And of course, he left me in the notice of Shura, who was absent for two days already. But I wasn't complaining, no, that woman scared me to death. Everyone in the class was looking at me with deadly looks. SHIT.
The teacher simply stared at me and closed his book shut.

"Okumura, explain yourself."

"I overslept." I said.

"It's not an excuse."

Someone in class started chattering in a very agreeing tone. I sighed. Nothing changed.

"He overslept because of me, Teacher." I heard the stupid voice. Damnit. And well of course, that bastard was sitting at my stool. My stool.

I almost facepalmed myself, until our teacher asked Shima directly.

"And why is that, Shima-kun?"

"Homework stuff." Renzou smiled curiously.

"Hmmm. Well okay, Okumura, you can sit. We're wasting precious time."

I ran to my stool and sat there. Stupid Shima.
Speaking of him, he was sitting next to me now. I could almost feel the hate emerging from Bon. It was obvious, that Shima saved this stool just for us both. I sighed again and moved my chair far away from Shima.
He threw his eyebrows together, but remembered his promise and smiled again. And then I got a note.

"you still don't trust me enough after yesterday, huh?"

Oh boy.

I looked at him and scribbled back.

"yesterday was just a little side effect."

I remembered all three hours with him. His hand wrapped around me and my tears, and the whole story I retold him trough our little chit chat on a bench, hugging...

He was writing something down, so I just had to wait. Somehow, i was interested in what he was going to say.


Guys, keep reviewing. Reviews + author = better story, longer chapters and more fun stuff involvoing Shima doing... things to our beloved Rin~ xDDD Just kidding. But reviews would be great, too~
