The ghoul disappeared and we were all battered and panting. Bon was muttering, "I'm dead I'm dead, I'M SOOO DEAD!"
"That was-" Shima started.
"WICKED! I'm mean now that it's over we can look back and laugh, right." I started laughing like a madman and the others just stared until Bon threw his shoe at the back of my head. "NO!" He shouted angrily.
"Hey guys what's up." Rin said casually like we weren't being mortally hunted down by a horrible teacher that wanted us dead.
My laughter stopped and I glared at him, "Why aren't you hurt? We busted our asses trying to beat that thing and we had familiars helping us!" I ran over and shouted at him.
"I more or less got it in one swing." We all stared at him in shock mine was mixed with anger.
"Neigauz, right?" I said calmly.
"You knew?" he asked.
"Yeah, but only after the incident in the bathroom. Neigauz summoned a similar ghoul in class that day, remember?"
"What? Neigauz-sensei did this? He attacked innocent students who were locked in a room? For what reason?" Izumo shouted.
"For your exams." A voice said.
"Exams?" I yelled only to have Yukio walk in casually with Neigauz-sensei trailing behind.
"Yukio he's, an ene-!" Before Rin could finish Mephisto dropped through the ceiling on top of him.
"Thank you for your hard you all you pages!" he shouted happily. "Of course there had to be a good reason for allowing the invasion of upper class demons."
A good number of our teachers busted through various places of hiding.
"The Doctor class teachers will treat wounds." He smirked knowingly, "That's right don't you see! This training camp has also served a great purpose as the Exwire authorization exams!"
I listened to him blather on about how we were tested but I glared at him all the while. "YOU MEAN TO SAY, I ALMOST GOT RIPPED TO SHREDS OVER SOME GODDAMN TEST!" I shouted at him.
My vision grew blurry as my anger faded and my legs gave way. I looked at my knee to see blood on it and wounds riddling my body. My last thought was, 'I fucking hate clowns.' Then I fainted from blood-loss.
I heard voices talking about something and I saw Bon sitting on my bed. "Bon?"
The ones that were awake looked at me happily, "Hey, looks like sleeping beauty is finally awake."
I furrowed my eyebrows, "I'm hungry." I looked at Bon and started gnawing on his shoulder.
He pried me off after a while, "The hell was that for?" he shouted.
"I'm hungry, feed me." I latched right back on to him.
"Rather excitable for someone that was just in critical condition a few minutes ago." He grumbled.
I unlatched. "What do you mean, Bon? I feel fine now. Other then being hungry." I said with a clueless look.
Rin looked at me with eyes that said I was, I chose to ignore them for now.
"Profuse bleeding from the side, major burns across your arm, and not to mention the broken bones. I saw them myself." Konekomaru added.
I stood up and looked at my arms, nothing. I lifted the side of my shirt and saw bloody bandages. I removed them panicking everybody, but nothing was there. I laughed, "Koneko-chan, this must be some sick joke. If it is I'm not willing to laugh, right now more or less, I feel like strangling that perverted old clown we call headmaster." I said seriously.
They all looked at me in shock.
That night, as I was sleeping, I suddenly felt colder. I shivered and reached for my blanket. I was surprised to not find it. I shot up suddenly and saw Rin laying beside me. Leo and Shiemi stood in front of us.
"Sorry, Yuki-chan tried waking you two but we couldn't so we carried you two out here." Shiemi said.
"Why?" Rin asked.
We all heard explosions and rumbling from above. I pulled a summoning paper out of my shirt pocket. "Thou who was rejected, answer my call and serve me in this time of need." Caerbannog sat near me.
Leo followed my example. "My Lord and Lady, lend me your strength." His two lions sat in front of him.
"Go find out what's going on." I told the little rabbit.
"Go with him." Leo added.
They nodded to us then ran off.
I stood up, "I'm going too. If Yukio is here, but not with us, I can't help but think he's in trouble." I helped Rin up.
"If it's that Neigauz again I'll rip him up for messing with us." Rin added. I nodded and we ran to the stairs.
"Leo, keep watch on Shiemi, will ya?" Rin shouted. Leo nodded and we continued.
I focused my flames to my feet and got the same result as before. I crashed through the door and blocked the attack that came after Yukio, while Rin ran through and just burned the demon to death.
"You bastard, so you were an enemy all along!" Rin shouted.
"You filthy demons!"
Neigauz pulled out a canister of Holy water and sprayed Rin with it. He grunted as it hissed against his skin.
"So Holy Water still works even though you're clothed in human skin. It seems you can't hide your true nature after all. Still it doesn't do a lot of damage does it?" He smirked as the demon attacked Rin. I found an opening and punched him in the face. "Two demons against one human, not very honorable."
"Neither is attacking someone in their sleep!" I shouted back.
The demon that had Rin disappeared. We looked over to see Yukio erasing the circle.
"Yukio!" I shouted.
Rin held Neigauz at sword point and I had my scythe pressed against his back.
"Sensei for the sake of your body, please stop summoning such high class demons! Do you want to die from blood loss?" Yukio shouted.
"I'm a survivor of the blue night," Our eyes widened, "For just a moment, while my body was taken over by Satan. I lost my eye and I lost my family who approached me, trying to help me. Satan, using these hands, murdered my family!" His voice got quiet for a bit. "I'll never forgive Satan," he began shouting, "And all those who go by the name of demon. Not to mention someone like the children of Satan! EVEN IT I HAVE TO EXCHANGE IT FOR MY LIFE!" I jumped in front of Rin to take the hit of whatever he summoned from the circles on his arms. It grazed only my side, though, it got Rin right in the stomach.
"Nii-san!" I yelled. I turned to Neigauz with rage.
"You worried?" I heard Rin say. I turned and saw him put away Kurikara.
"Rin," I said with worry.
"Don't be, cause I'll fight as many times as it takes, as many times you want. I'm begging you, don't get innocent bystanders involved." He said with tears in his eyes.
Neigauz seemed taken aback, "You really think it's over? Just like that? There's another guy, just like me. You should prepare yourselves." With that Neigauz walked away.
"Nii-san, what were you thinking!"
"Yeah you could've dodged that easily!"
"Doesn't matter, it's already closing up."
I stared in wonder, "Is that how I was in critical but healed so quickly?" Rin nodded.
Shiemi and Leo quickly threw open the door so me and Rin quickly hid our tails.
"Rin! Utsukushi!" Shiemi shouted. She looked at us all battered and everything, "A ghoul's mashou? If I don't treat them right now-"
"Maa Shiemi, we're fine." Rin said.
"LIKE HELL YOU ARE, BOTH OF YOU LAY DOWN RIGHT NOW SO SHE CAN TREAT YOU!" Leo ordered.
We both laid down instantly not wanting to anger the alpha male of the lions.
"I'm feeling better now, really!" Rin said. Once he got a good look at Shiemi his face softened.
"Rin, I've decided."
"Eh?"
"I've decided to…"
"Decided what?"
I smiled at them, I was slightly jealous, Shiemi had both Rin and Yukio going after her. I don't have any one.
Because I'm the ugly duckling.
"Eins, Zwei, Drei!" A pop gave way to a gazillion bits of confetti and streamers. "Everyone is promoted to Exwire! Congratulations!"
Everyone cheered and Leo gave a whistle.
"Well then, to celebrate everyone's promotion, I, the rich chairman, will treat you all to monja!"
"Ick! At least make it Yakiniku!" Rin shouted.
Bon and I sat next to each other near Shima and Konekomaru. I ate the yakiniku happily.
"So you still going to look back and laugh?" Bon asked.
"No. I'm not going to look back to yesterday. If I do I might be forced to strangle a clown."
Shima laughed, "Though spending the week together was fun, right Bon?"
Bon nodded, "We also learned a few things about each other."
"I almost didn't want it to end." I added.
Leo draped his arms across the seat beside me, "So what was the deal with Neigauz?"
My smile faded, "He attacked Yukio last night, really intent on killing him. Once me and Rin came along we destroyed one of his summons and he attacked us."
Bon's eyes grew, "What was he doing back there? I thought the exam ended?"
I shrugged.
"Well are you alright?" He added.
I smiled, "Yeah Shiemi was there. She helped us heal."
Bon gave me a hug, "Thank God."
I blushed at the sudden act. "B-bon?" I stuttered. He let go and pushed me away a bit. His face was a deep cherry red.
"I was worried we might've lost a great strategist." He said quickly.
Shima giggled and Konekomaru smiled. Leo started gossiping with Shima not too long after.
AN: YAAY HAPPY ENDING! JUNE'S FOOLS! (what happened
But really no, it's not the ending. IT'S ONLY JUST BEGUN~~!
