Ok here's the next chapter!
Someone asked if Jack's sister will be in this. This chapter and the next will answer that question. I would say more but I have low battery on my laptop so onto the chapter!
I don't own these!
There was an awkward silence as the groups seemed to stare at one another.
"Hello there." Shiemi tried getting rid of the tense, uncomfortable silence.
Jack glared at the group in the doorway. "I'm out of here. The room has been tainted too much with the smell of murderers." With that he stood up and walked back upstairs.
"Well that was a bit harsh." Rin muttered, staring after the demon. The he looked to the others. "So what are you guys doing here?"
"Mr. Okumura said we were to be having classes her since you can't leave." Suguro answered, "What did you do?"
"Oi! I did nothing!" Rin shouted in defense.
"Oh yeah? Then why can't you leave? And who the hell was the kid?"
"The 'kid' is why Rin can't leave." Yukio answered before his brother could retort. "It is also the reason these four will be with us." With that he motioned to the four older exorcists.
"Huh?" Rin asked in confusion.
North grinned and clapped his hands together. "We get to teach you what we know! That way we help out while being able to watch over Jack!"
"Ok but that still leaves one question. Who was the kid?"
"Yes well that was Jack Frost and we need his help with…eh…something." North answered.
Izumo scoffed, "And keeping him here is the way to do it?"
"Well we can't keep chasing him and it is also for his safety, for someone else is after the boy."
"What's so special about him?"
"Ah…well…he's eh-"
"He a powerful demon." Yukio cut in. His students gave him wide eyed looks as he continued. "But he can't hurt you."
"Are you sure it's safe to have classes here?" Konekomaru asked nervously.
"Yes."
"Wait! I still have to go to class?!" Rin exclaimed.
"Of course." Yukio answered, his expression never changing.
Rin groaned in annoyance while slamming his head on the table. From the top of the stairs, Jack sat as he listened in on the conversation. He didn't need any damn protection, he could take care of himself. Deciding he was done dealing with exorcists for the day, Jack decided to search for his staff.
As he look for his staff throughout the day, the demon would occasionally hear or come across the young exorcists in class. He was able to avoid them all day but of course that could not last forever since they were all in the same building.
Jack was inside one of the bed rooms when a squeak came from behind him. Quickly turning around, Jack found the blonde girl that had arrived earlier standing there. Instantly he glared
"Oh I-I'm sorry. I saw you standing there and I just wanted to say hi!" She stuttered out. "My name in Shiemi Moriyama, what is yours?"
Jack continued to glare at the young woman but it faltered when he caught the emotions within her gaze. The kindness and innocence that lied within them reminded him so much of-
No! Jack shook his head. He would not think of her, let alone associate her with a damn exorcist. He quickly hardened his gaze once more. "Why do you care?"
"Oh well I-"
"I don't want an excuse. I'm a demon, so I don't know what it is you would want with me. Unless you want something only I can get. It would make sense considering that's why I'm here in the first place. So what is it you'd-"
"Stop it!" Shiemi suddenly shouted causing Jack to silence his voice. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout but I don't want anything from you. You just…seemed lonely so I wanted to be your friend."
Jack stared at her as if she had grown a second head. S-She wanted to be his friend? Was she up to something? Was someone making her do this? There had to be something other than just his friendship she wanted, right?
"Are…Are you serious?" He received a sharp nod. "Why? I'm a demon?! Why would you want to be my friend? Why should I be friends with someone who is a fucking killer?" Why should I put my trust in you? But that question was spoken only in his mind.
Shiemi frowned. "I-I'm not a killer. And why should it matter that you're a demon and I'm human? I'm friends with Rin aren't I? And it shouldn't matter because everyone could use a friend, right?"
Jack stared at her, mouth agape. Was she crazy?! Finally he turned his gaze towards the floor and muttered, "…Jack. My names Jack."
Shiemi smiled, "Well Jack, would you like to join us for supper?"
Jack's gaze once again hardened, "No."
Shiemi frowned, "Why not?"
"I'm not going to go eat with a bunch of fucking exorcists like as if I'm 'friends' with them." He growled out.
"Please, you must be hungry." At the mention of hunger, his stomach gave a growl.
Jack shook his head. "I'm fine."
"Please." She pleaded. Her voice sounded so sad, Jack couldn't help but look towards her. When he did he was met with wet, hopeful eyes that still held within them so much kindness towards him. The gaze practically melted him as they reminded him of-
Once again he shook his head.
"Fine." He said falling prey to her gaze. She beamed a grateful smile at him and the two left the room to head to the cafeteria. When they got there, the exorcists and exorcists in training were all sitting at a table while Rin cooked in the kitchen. When they caught sight of the beaming Shiemi and the grumbling demon, they gawked. This caused Shiemi to blush as she sat down and Jack's eye to twitch as he sat as far from the other's as possible.
Rin came in with the food and laughed at the demon.
Jack growled, "Oh shut up! It's not like I want to be here!"
Placing the food down and taking a seat across from Jack, Rin answered him with a smile. "Then why are you here? What did Shiemi rope you into sitting here?"
At the deepening blush of Shiemi and the growl from Jack, Rin laughed even more, "Oh my fucking god she did!"
Jack scowled. "It's not my fault her gaze was just so kind and hopefully disparate it was impossible to say no!" This just made Rin laugh even more and the pale demon to grow angrier. "OI! Shut up! The look was just fimilar it's not like I'm going soft or anything! No way in hell would I be going soft with a damn exorcist!" The denial just made Rin laugh more.
"Uh, is something going on over there?" Shima asked.
"Yeah their being idiots." Aster grumbled.
"Took the words right out of my mouth." Suguro said.
"All that matters is that everyone came together for big meal!" North said excitedly. "Now, let's dig in!"
They all ate, Jack grumbling silently in his corner, and enjoyed the meal made by Rin. When it was finished, the exwires decided to head home for the night. As they left Shiemi tried to get a nice goodbye from Jack but the demon had by then disappeared back upstairs and went back to searching from his staff.
About a few hours later, Jack's attention was brought towards the four exorcists by their shouting.
"Manny says a sign was found near here!?"
"How close, mate?"
"Not close but within Japan."
"How do we know it was even him?"
"Manny would not lie about this, especially if he knows who we found."
"Should we check it out?"
"Yes, just to make sure there are no lingering demons."
"Then let's get going, mates!"
Jack heard the door slam and he rushed towards a window. He watched them all run through the ward but they didn't scuff the markings to break it. Jack was about to curse his luck when he realized something, now was his chance.
He had found his staff earlier that day but left it there so they wouldn't notice. Quickly running to get it, Jack ran out the door and grabbed a rock upon the ground. They made sure he wouldn't leave the building so he had to act now. Tossing the rock he watched as it landed on the ward and messed up the markings.
The ward was down, now was his chance.
Yay it was longer!
