A/N:

Thanks for all the support.

To the one that defended me: I So much appreciate that, really it made me cry. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SOOOO MUCH. if you didn't review... I don't know.. I so thank you, rarely does someone take initiative in defending me...and I'm glad you don't flame :) I wish I know your name or any other way to refer to you ^^ nickname maybe?

To all other readers, I do apologize deeply if I'm not doing so hot in this story as the original. If there's something wrong, please tell me. Pinpoint it. Don't just gun me with fury filled reviews. But please understand that adopting a story isn't as simple as just continuing it. Because one, the momentum is in the original author so I need to slowly swivel it to my feel, and two, i have to keep track of the original authors style of execution so that you guys won't be too much in a culture shock from having a sudden change of author. Thanks.

Though I do feel a little discouraged to write this... but i'll get over it. I hope.

Off we go. :)


That night before going to bed, Rin decided that he'll wake up early to prepare a big breakfast for Yukio to make up for the inability to help him. Though, waking up early wasn't exactly his thing but he'll try his best. He yawned then pulled the covers under his chin and closed his eyes, which a few moments after, snapped open as he felt a depression on the bed, blue eyes trailed beside him only to find that Yukio is settling himself on his bed,

"Wha! Why are you sleeping next to me?" Rin asked with a light blush,

Yukio yawned and snatched a bit of the blanket that Rin was using to cover a portion of himself, "Well, I just want to, Nii-san. But I would feel more comfortable on my bed so we'll sleep on my bed next time, okay?", Finishing off that statement with a smile,

Rin face palmed. His brother is taking this 'lovers' thing to whole new level, he would just go along with it.

Rin stirred groggily opening his eyes as the early morning light basked the room lightly and damped on his face as it woke him up successfully. He grumbled slightly when he noticed that Yukio's embracing him firmly as the younger is still asleep. Gently pulling himself off with a conscious attempt to not wake the other up, but alas, Yukio's sharp senses picked up the movements,

"...nii-san, you getting up? It's still early. Plus, it's Saturday."

"ugh..yeah. I just uhm.. wanted to cook this early in the morning." The older replied leaving out the detail that he'll make a big breakfast for him because that will be too mushy of him. Yukio groaned as he let go of Rin missing the warmth and softness the elder brother gave. The said boy got out of bed and stretched his arms then went down to the kitchen to do what he's supposed to do.

As he cook, he could feel that eerie feeling of being watched just as he most often did when he's in the kitchen, cooking. Though, he thought of it as his imagination playing tricks on him because of the whole abandoned dorm theme going on making him feel like it's haunted with ghosts watching. Rin shuddered, if ever there were ghost watching them... that would be awkward, taking in mind what he and Yukio did the other night. Yes, so awkward.

By the time he finished convincing himself that there are no ghosts whatsoever he also finished preparing the big breakfast. As if on cue, Yukio got down from upstairs wearing his exorcist's uniform and all. He marveled at the well prepared meal before him, the younger asked why such a feast, Rin just said the he wanted to, it's that simple and Yukio did not bother to question; Rin and the food appreciated that idea.

Come Monday, Rin begrudgingly strode down the colorful hallways of the exorcism cram school heading to his classroom. Don't get him wrong, he would love to be an exorcist but to study to be one is not exactly what he signed up for, mainly because it involved studying. Seriously, it's not his fault that he's not a nerd like Yukio. Much to his chagrin, he arrived at their classroom. Then, his eyes widened as he saw a new character sitting in front...

Moriyama Shiemi.

He gasped inwardly. What's she doing here? Is she following Yukio or something? Why is he asking himself all this? Could Rin be jealous again? He shook his head, no way he'll be acting all jealous. Shiemi seems to have noticed Rin's presence and having a bit of confusing ordeal, she smiled sweetly with a hint of shyness and waved at him. Rin smiled back,though a little hesitantly, and walked over to her. He sat next to her- might as well try to make friends with her so as to convince himself that he is most definitely not holding a grudge against an innocent girl out of suspicion and jealousy,

"So uhm... you want to be an exorcist too?" He started

She fidgeted a bit then nodded. Rin remembered that she haven't mingled with anyone too often, "Oh, I see, that's nice." He bit his lip as he looked away, making friends seems difficult for some reason, then he saw Bon and the others looking his way. He raised a brow at them. The smug, the perverse, and the worried expression of their's gave a hint to Rin on what they wanted to talk about but he decided to attend to that later on and to try to have at least a conversation with the blond girl,

"You're name's Moriyama Shiemi, right?"

"a-anou! Yes! B-but you can call me 'Shiemi'..." This girl looks like she could explode from nervousness

"Okay then, well you can call me 'Rin'. Uh.. why do you want to be an exorcist?" He asked, finally he's making friends so that means he's not some lame jealous person. That's what he thinks.

"B-because, I don't want to depend on Yuki-chan to always help me with these problems..." She looked down playing with the hem of the sleeves of her kimono with a very visible blush on her cheeks.

Rin's eyes narrowed again, 'Yuki-chan again, huh?...No! Don't think like that!' He slapped his cheeks then grinned at her, playing it cool. "How sweet of you Shiemi. But you know, Yukio's an exorcist, so it's his job to do those things."

She blushed hearing that he called her 'sweet', "U-uhh.. yes it is his job, but I don't want to bother him because he's busy with other things for sure..."

Kind. Sweet. And cute... Rin is feeling more threatened by this girl with each passing second. He can't hold it any longer,

"You like Yukio, don't you?" He asked in a dead serious tone

Shiemi's eyes widened, her face getting red, "a-a-a-a-a-aahmmm...w-w-well...i-i-i-it's...I-I-I..be-because..He..a-ahm..."

Rin sighed, he realized that this girl could only bring harm to herself so there's no point in feeling threatened or jealous whatsoever, "It's fine, I mean, he's really cool, kind, smart, and good looking, so it's understandable that you have a crush on him."

She looked down again hiding her flushed face from the raven haired. It's true that she has a crush on him but she still doesn't have the courage to admit it to anyone even to herself.

He changed the topic talking about plants and gardening since it's her hobby. She's not that bad he thought. After a few minutes of chatting their homeroom teacher, Yukio, went in greeting them. The young exorcist saw that Rin and Shiemi seems to be going along well giving him relief that there won't be any trouble regarding of such issues. He began with his discussions calling random student's name for recitation (also to see if they're paying attention).

"Moriyama-san." The teacher called, the blond, in turn, stood up immediately, albeit nervously.

"Hai!"

"What flower causes a demon to be aroused?"

Shiemi's eyes widened, her blush deepening three times than before, her heart pounding... She doesn't know the answer, "A-anou...S-sensei...I-I..! I don't know, I'm sorry!"

Rin's jaw dropped. How could she not know? Just a moment ago she told him all about different kinds of flowers and plants. Perhaps she's just nervous and had a mental block. He gave her a comforting smile as the young lady sat down with a glum expression close to tears,

"It's okay, Moriyama-san," Yukio smiled gently then turned back to a serious expression, "Does anyone know the answer?"

Kamiki raised her hand as quick as lightning to beat Suguro's, the blond streaked growled, "Sensei!"

"Yes, Izumo-san," (A/N: How awkward, I don't know if "Kamiki" is her last name or "Izumo", I supposed it's Izumo... help?)

Said girl stood up proudly with her game face on, "The answer is Belladonna."

"Correct." Yukio turned back to the board and drew the flower to further explain the topic.

The classes went on with Okumura-sensei teaching; Izumo and Suguro beating each other through academics; Rin and Shiemi were the ones who were having a hard time to keep up and is doing their best to, well it's more accurate to say that Shiemi is the one doing the 'trying their best', Rin has this 'If I can't understand it, I won't try to' mentality going on so he's not paying at least fifty percent attention. Yukio knows that and would call his brother ever so often just to get him to be attentive in class but would just end up embarrassing himself since he can't rack his brain to come up with any answer, but nonetheless, Yukio still found him cute. And stupid at times.

Came evening, the twins have finished their dinner.

"Hey Yukio," Rin rolled on the bed (Yukio's bed) facing his brother who is working on his desk once again

"Hm?"

"I have this weird feeling in the kitchen, like i'm being watched or something."

"Really? Must be your imagination, nii-san."

"No. I thought about that too, but I kept noticing it since we arrived here. It's like there's this pair of eyes watching me work in the kitchen..."

Yukio chuckled, "Is nii-san afraid?"

A loud gasp from Rin could be heard, "I am not! Just..just...creeped out, you know?"

"Yes yes, well, i'll ask about that to Pheles-san tomorrow, okay? So relax." He smiled at his older twin who is glaring up at him once again.

"Fine."

Little did they know, Rin was right, there is someone in the kitchen watching his every move.
