The Kyoto Trio had invited me to study with them in the extra work we got. I sat on the sakura tree we were supposed to meet at and just swung my legs. I changed from the girl's uniform and into normal clothes. A long, black baby tee that reached the middle of my thighs with a red checkerboard jacket. I had skinny jeans where one leg was solid black and the other was black and white checkerboard. I had a checkerboard armband and skater shoes as well as a black studded armband for accessories.

Another note was delivered by ghost vulture;

Rebecca,

Great job at challenging Suguro, when the challenge actually comes around, correct his hypothesis. I know how an incorrect first impression can easily anger you. Go ahead and fix that as you please, as long as your point gets across to him.

I must remind you of something though, remember; don't look it in the eyes.

Good luck, young one,

Father Time, Clockwork.

P.S.

Shima's favorite energy drink contains copious amouts of Ginseng.

As I saw the three approach I pulled up my legs and hid in the tree.

"Where is she? We were supposed to meet here a couple minutes ago." Koneko said as he looked at his watch.

I grabbed a twig off the tree and held it on my hand, time to test the 'miracle grow' as Amaimon called it. I focused my flames in a circle around it. It grew to a couple buds then sakura blossoms within minutes.

I dropped it in front of Suguro. He looked up at me in shock and I just waved. "Yo. What took ya?"

I hopped down and gave a yawn.

"How long were you there?" Shima asked as he picked up the twig-turned-cherry blossom.

"Not too long. Just long enough for me to hide from my idiot brother." I dusted off the imaginary dust off my jeans and sat on a nearby bench. "So we gonna get started or interrogate me?"

Suguro glared at me, "Where's your paper?"

"It's done, I don't like homework so I finish it in class before we leave." I leaned back with my arms stretched out behind my head.

I heard palm hit forehead, being me you just know when that happens, and saw Suguro with his head in his hands. I laughed, "Hey man, no big deal, I do this with everything, I, more or less, have a memory that can only come out on paper. I also can't remember certain things of kindergarten because of a head injury I got once, I don't even remember what it was." I do but I'm sure that since it was a different lifetime, that no one else would.

Suguro stared at me in stress and anxiety. "God you're an enigma."

I shrugged, "I came cause I get bored easy, even if I'm just helping you. It's bound to be amusing." I smiled widely to them.

"So uh, what's number 14?" Shima asked.

I glared at the pinkette, "I said I was helping you not telling you the answers, that's not going to help you at all." I looked at his paper, "Good god, it's the matching and you can't just use the process of elimination?" Shima just smiled sheepishly, "'A rare plant that can be used as a stimulant or a male sex drive? Ew."

"That's Gi-." I covered Konekomaru's mouth. "Don't say it, let Shima figure it out on his own." He nodded and I let him go.

"You mean Gin-" I covered Suguro's mouth, "HE WON'T LEARN IF YOU JUST TELL HIM!"

"Gi? Gin? Maa~ just tell me~" Shima whined.

"Hint: also in that energy drink you like so much." His eyes widened.

"GINSENG!"

"HELLZ YEAH!" we high-fived.

"Didn't you just give him the answer?" Konekomaru said.

"No, I gave him another example of what it's used for, one he was more familiar with. And now if he just thinks of how much of a perv he is he can blame the ridiculous amounts of Ginseng in that one drink." I smiled proudly as Suguro and Konekomaru stifled a laugh.

Shima was too busy writing to find out that I had insulted him.


Shiemi sat in the front of the room with a smile. We had finished a test that Yukio had just finished graded. He was passing them out right now. Mine had a 100 on it.

"Great job for someone who likes to sleep in class." I shrugged as Yukio pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose at me.

Suguro looked at it as I got back to my seat. His eyes widened. "How the hell do you do that? You just sleep through class!"

I shrugged and leaned back in my seat, "Dunno, always been able to do that."

Suguro left and came back with his, "Well that analogy you came up with for Shima really did help." He showed me his paper, big fat 100 on the top right. I smiled and applauded.

"Yeah that really helped!" Koneko showed his 96 paper.

"Eh? An analogy?" Shima said oblivious.

"Nothing, it's not funny anymore." I pouted.

"A 2? I couldn't even get that if I tried." Suguro said as we all saw Rin's paper.

"Actually, you can, if you know all the answers just choose the ones that aren't right, or you could-"

"NOT HELPING MY POINT HERE!" I smirked in triumph.

"Of course she isn't going to help you! She likes me more." Rin said proud fully. I scoffed.

"What? That doesn't matter! Why are you even here? The rest of us are here to become exorcists! We take it seriously, while you just sleep through class!"

"Suguro, that's enough."

He turned to me angrily, "Why should I listen to you?"

My gaze hardened and his glare faltered but picked right back up. "Because, fighting like that when you are both aiming for the same thing is idiotic. Defeating 'Him' isn't easy, but if you two were to work together, it might be less difficult." I smirked when Suguro blushed at his goal being spat back out at him, "Besides; it's the middle of class."

Everyone just stared at the two.

Bon stuttered and sat back down. "How the hell did you know about my goal?"

"I just do."
