"My, my, so in the end, Okumura-kun does indeed have feelings for Moriyama-san! " The dog with the pink and white dotted scarf said, watching how Rin and Shiemi had taken different paths after saying goodbye to each other. "Ah, it is quite interesting to see how two young humans can get so flustered at interacting with the opposite sex." Mephisto inquired, being king of time and space was very useful if he wanted a moment to entertain himself. "Even so, the shy yet shameless personality of Moriyama-san doesn't hide very well the fact that her feelings towards Okumura-kun are mutual." The demon chuckled slightly, counting to three in German with then a snap of his fingers and he was back to his office. He might as well take this unique opportunity to give himself more entertainment or as he would see it, to help out Rin in his situation with Shiemi.

For God's sake, not another note from Mephisto. It was enough that the first letter he sent a while ago made him think at first that it was a love letter from a secret admirer (and then, to his disappointment it was from that clown) but now another one?! The same envelope and everything, maybe this one was even more colorful and disgusting than the last one. But for his surprise, this time Mephisto was not only inviting him but also the rest of the students of the cram school.

"Weird..." Rin mumbled, wondering what was planning Mephisto now. If he was going to do something weird like, giving the guests instant noodles or giving him a free and quick travel to Gehenna again then he was going to flip out on him. Of course, the latter option was not very probable since Mephisto wouldn't take them all to Hell. Anyways, he wanted to know as soon as possible what did the clown wanted them all in his unique mansion.

"Okumura-kun!" He could hear Renzou's voice calling for his attention as he approached the raven boy with Konekomaru and Ryuuji. In the other boy's hand he spotted the same pink envelope.

"Ah, yours are just like mine." Rin commented, eyeing the pink haired boy's letter. He thought Mephisto would have more originality to, like, choose a different style for every letter or something. Seemed like all the letters even had that little drawing of him as a dog.

"Actually, I think yours has more pink in it." Renzou retorted, pointing at Rin's card with a little laugh.

"Is that even possible?" Bon arched an eyebrow, he had thrown away his card as soon as he finished reading it. At least he didn't do it before reading the content because the feeling of disgust he had towards that colorful letter was unmeasurable.

"Maybe the one with more pink it's Sir Pheles' favorite." Renzou shrugged, even if he was joking around about it, you could imagine how disappointed he was when he read the letter's name sender. His hopes had got high for a second, thinking it was a love letter from some chick on the campus. Even for a second he imagined how Izumo walked towards his locker and shyly slid the letter into it. But all his dreams and fantasies were crushed when he read 'Mephisto Pheles' on the envelope.

How disappointing.

The joke passed through his ears but didn't get to his reasoning part, he growled, making clear his point that every envelope was on the same tone of pink. He even called Renzou 'colorblind'.

"What was 'bout the last meetin' ya had with Mephisto?" Bon crossed his arms, this would be the first time he'd go to Mephisto's place (just like the rest but Rin) and he got a bad impression of him as a host when Rin told him about the instant ramen the Director gave him as dinner.

"Hm, I asked him for the eye drops..." And let's forget the part that he went to Gehenna, got his ass kicked by Amaimon so hard that Mephisto had to censor it for the viewers and then after five minutes, he ate spicy ramen. "He told me about what he wanted in exchange for it.- We ate the noodles and..." What else? What else? "Yeah, that's about all."

"Nothin' more?"

"Well, he might've gone to Gehenna for five minutes."

"What?!" Bon's eyes grew wide. "What th' hell do ya mean by 'might've'?!"

Eye twitch. "That's what really concerns you? My poor choice of words?" The raven boy sighed, the mystery of Mephisto's plan not revealed just yet.

As the boys were leaded to Mephisto's room, Renzou looked up to meet with the eyes of many figures from mangas and anime. "Am I the only one who finds this creepy as hell? It's like those eyes were following me everywhere."

"Calm down, Shima. This is really creepy, though." Konekomaru commented, furrowing his brows as he looked up at the shelves with the figures.

"Tsk. And then I thought that the letter was disgusting." Bon frowned, irritated by how bright was Mephisto's place. Filled by magazines, DVDs, books, light novels, mangas, colectionables, posters and a huge puff were Mephisto was in front of his even huger TV, playing one of his videogames on his console.

Luckily for Renzou, who was most likely to acquire a new trauma or have a heart attack due to the paranoia was saved by spotting the purple-haired girl, sitting on a table with the blonde girl. "Ooh, Izumo-chan and Moriyama-san. You two look good~" He commented, the two girls were in a formal dress.

"T-thanks, Shima-san." Shiemi answered with a blush on her cheeks. She was practically tricked into use that dress, she had gone to Mephisto's with her kimono (since she didn't have nothing else) but Mephisto and his especial way to use words lead her into accepting to use something else, and with a snap of his finger, she was wearing a white dress with long sleeves and a big blue ribbon on the back.

On the other side, Izumo went with her own simple pink dress with a black vest that Paku had gave her as a present on her last birthday. With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she didn't reply to Renzou's comment and kept her sight forwards. "You are late." She said, referring to all of them.

Ignoring the byakko tamer's comment, the dark blue-haired boy said, "Shiemi! Huh? Why are you dressin' like that?" Rin was suddenly standing next to Shiemi as he stared at her, with an eyebrow raised. That ribbon was a bit too big.

"A-ah, Mephisto gave me this because I couldn't use my kimono." A blushing Shiemi retorted, poking her fingers against each other in front of her face.

Well, it made sense that that ribbon was work of the eccentric demon.

"Indeed, you are all late." Mephisto chimed it as he paused his game to turn and face his guests. All was alright except for one thing, Rin was again dressing on his messy uniform. "Okumura-kun, is this going to be like the last time? I recall to have specified to be formal dressed or use the full uniform. "

"Ah, yeah, that. I don't have any formal clothes." He grinned awkwardly, placing his hand on his head.

'He's totally avoiding the fact he could use his uniform.' Bon thought—or more like; everyone in the room thought!

With a snap of his fingers, Mephisto changed to his usual clothes and, just like the last time, he helped out Rin too with his 'spells'. Rin had to get used to that gel for hair that came included with the suit.

"I'm sure you are wondering why did I gather you all here, my purposes are nothing but for your own relax from the cram school. A little fun in my mansion won't hurt anyone. "—If you are careful, of course. Just like those Seven Mysteries of the True Cross Academy are part from his pranks, his mansion had some 'magic' places as well.

Everyone kept staring at Mephisto, knowing that there was a subliminal message between what he said. And with nothing further said, he disappeared without leaving his game, actually. From some place that the other's couldn't see, he was still playing his game! They could see how it started again and the character started to move. Looking for Mephisto's location was useless since he really disappeared.

"What is he planning?" Rin mumbled, looking at the ceiling and the walls. There were like a thousand of shelves in those walls, filled with otaku stuff.

"Moriyama-san, Okumura-kun, right over here~. " Mephisto's voice sounded, stopping the tracks of the two exwires. They were actually lost, since the group magically split out and they two were left alone, Rin and Shiemi decided to adventure themselves on the mansion and if they were lucky, they would find the others. Guess they're not, since now they had to follow Mephisto's voice to be end up on God knows where.

"Tch. That clown." Rin growled under his breath.

"Huh?"

"Nothing! It's nothing." He made a big smile.

And then silence filled the atmosphere again.

"Follow my voice~!"

Rin knew that guy was planning something, maybe the next door he would open would lead them to Gehenna and, boom, disaster again. He could just keep cursing him under his breath and his mind every time he'd hear his voice on the space.

"Yes, yes here is it!"

To his surprise, when he opened the door there wasn't a rotten place filled of destruction of demons—he should trust Mephisto a little bit more. The room was practically empty in comparison to the rest of his house, it had a skylight that let in the light of the moon and… Oh, God.

No, this meant more chaos for him than Gehenna. That damn room wasn't empty as he thought, as they were suddenly dragged into it and the door closed, he could see the table with only two chairs and… Well, what a romantic dinner on movies usual have except that a demon was controlling the entire situation.

He was going to flip out. He could see what Mephisto was doing. Actually, not yet. He still was clueless. Until his mind processed it all and he came to a conclusion but it was interrupted by Mephisto's voice.

"Well then, what are you two lovebirds waiting? Let's start the date." And without even realizing it, Rin was sitting right in front of Shiemi.

He knew it! He knew it all along! Mephisto just wouldn't invite someone to his house for 'their own relax'. That was just bullshit. "OI! YOU AIN'T GOIN' TO FORCE US INTO YOUR PLANS!" Rin yelled, standing up the chair and looking up to… His blue orbs simply threw a glare at whatever he saw first; the ceiling next to the skylight. Then, he proceeded to exanimate all the room.

Mephisto chuckled, "I am not forcing you into anything. I am simply giving a tiny push to something that it's destined to happen. " He could hear the amusement in his voice. "I am merely helping you out, if you will." With that said, Rin was forced to sit down and now he couldn't get up.

"A d-date?!" Just until Mephisto said it, Shiemi was just as clueless as Rin. Now her face turning redder and redder, she was the one panicking now.

"Tch, that friggin' clown." He had to limit himself to say anything else. "Hmph, well—" He looked at the table, he noticed something, with a glint on his eyes he smiled and crossed his arms. "—This can't be a date 'cause there's not even food!" That was a relief, he wasn't ready for that.

And for opening his big mouth, two instant noodles appeared in front of them. With a frown, Rin took the note that was on beside his ramen.

'He has no manners as a host.' Rin thought. Though, he wasn't one to talk since he didn't have manners as a guest, or at least as a guest of Mephisto.

'Courtesy of Mephisto Pheles ω Enjoy, Okumura Rin-sama.'

He could feel how the vein on his forehead was about to explode. He already knew that and Mephisto just had to remember him every second. How irritating.

First was Amaimon, annoying the hell out of him and being a total pervert with Shiemi, then was Renzou, who wasn't that bad actually, he just liked to tease him and such. And then there was this asshole, Mephisto, who then happened to be a voyeur if he was going to watch all the date.

"Bastard…" Rin said, throwing that note aside. He found another thing to object on Mephisto's plans; how where they going to eat those instant noodles? There was nothing to prepare them in that room. He would keep his mouth shut. And then he noticed something else; Shiemi's face was as red as an apple, shaking. He was worrying too much about him that he didn't even saw what the blonde was doing.

"Shiemi?" The half demon blinked, not sure what to do. "You alright?"

"E-eh?!" She got back to reality, almost jumping out of the chair. Trying to calm herself down, the question echoed on her mind. "… Yes, yes." The tamer nodded. Her face had taken a normal color now, but the usual blush she had on her cheeks was still there.

But even if Rin didn't say anything about the food, the noodles wrap opened until the middle magically as two jars of hot water appeared and they poured their content on the instant food. He pursed his lips together, now they had to wait five minutes. And for what he could see, now Mephisto was just a spectator or he just went away—which he doubted, it was more probable that he was not talking but still watching.

If they only happened to kiss… 'Tch. Pervert.' A voyeur, Rin, that's the right word to use.

The time passed and the ramen was ready to eat. Those were the longest five minutes ever for Rin, being that they didn't talk a lot due to the pressure and most of those minutes were filled by awkward silence.

"Have you ever cooked this?" Shiemi asked, breaking the silence that was between them.

Mephisto must be getting bored.

Rin was caught by the sudden of the question with the mouthful of food, "Ah, no. I haven't." he swallowed hard and quickly the noodles on his mouth.

"I bet it would taste better if you were the one who prepared it!" An inevitable blush invaded Rin's cheeks.

He almost choked on the food—No, actually, he was choking. He fell helplessly of the chair, as it seemed that he wasn't glued to it anymore, and tried to breath.

"Rin!" When Shiemi was about to stand up and help him, a shaky hand got hold on the armrest of the chair, then on the top of it as he stood up with his face all purple. "Er—I'm alright, I'm alright."

Mephisto must be laughing now.

He sat down as a good boy and ate the rest of his noodles, even if he was hating on everything on this room that was creation of Mephisto, he was hungry and he couldn't help it. And it seemed like Shiemi was hungry too, but she wasn't eating like an animal like Rin.

Rin stared at an empty noodle pack that suddenly disappeared. A sigh. He wondered what the others should be doing right now, it seemed like hours had happened, but the moon that he could see through the skylight was tricking him. It had not even moved from its location right atop of them. It had to be Mephisto's work, being the king of time and all.

He seemed to be growing bored of the simple situation going on between the couple because Shiemi's chair slid quickly to where Rin was, stopping immediately when the two chairs touched. The two of them blushed, and the raven boy was about to fall off his chair again but he seemed to be glued to it again and so was Shiemi.

Threats lacking of sense towards Mephisto was the kind of things that passed through his mind. He could be playing any game, reading any manga, doing whatever he want but no, he had to play with Rin's and Shiemi's current relationship status.

"Is that tension what I feel? Good grief, what's got you two so tense?" Mephisto spoke after a while, now that tone in mockery was annoying Rin again.

"Maybe the fact that we can't even move from out chairs!" Rin shouted at nowhere, blushing because when he turned his head, he had Shiemi's face a few centimeters away from his. He turned again.

"Oh, what was that? Were you two about to kiss~?"

"No!" Actually, Rin would like that, but not when someone like Mephisto—or anyone—was watching him. He was totally going to rant about him when he gets back to the school dorm.

"Oh my, maybe Moriyama-san should give you a shoulder massage!" A pause that would've been to enjoy how he could control the situation. "Perhaps a script would help! "

"Script? What the—" And poof, a script popped up on Rin's and Shiemi's hands. He read it as he grumbled and Shiemi read it as she blushed and blushed. Their names were there and all what has happened until now but with a deep description of each one's feelings and the cause of their actions. But each script was different, Rin's described Shiemi's feelings and what should be happening on her mind as she kept quiet on Mephisto's point of view, and Shiemi's described Rin's rough actions and feelings towards her and such.

"Do you like it? It's my personal fanfiction. I actually wrote it thinking about my favorite pairing in the anime world but, seeing that it fit so well, I decided to give it to you. "

Rin already knew about how weird he was but, if Shiemi didn't had nothing but a neutral opinion about the Director of the True Cross Academy, that would change now. Unless…

"Sir Pheles is a pretty good writer." The blonde commented as she scanned the pages with big and interested eyes.

"Wha?!" No! Don't turn your head to look at her in shock, Rin, or you might find yourself victim of Mephisto's commentaries again!

"Oh, why, thank you, Moriyama-san. " Although, he was aware of that already.

It took a while for those two to finish the whole script—even if it wasn't that long—but it took way more for Rin to finish reading it than Shiemi. He wasn't the best lector, after all.

And with wide eyes at reading the final he grumbled, "Hell no, ya freakin' pervert!"—Voyeur. Because if it weren't for Mephisto… He'd do it.

"What's with this moodiness, Okumura-kun? Don't you get that, if you follow the script as you have done so far, you will be free to leave? " He explained, still having fun of the scene from wherever he was. "Oh, and don't call me by such offensive noun, as I said before, I am just helping you out to take your relationship with Moriyama-san to the next level. Didn't you have feelings for her, hmm~?"

It was better for Rin when he was quiet. But what he could do? He already got the declaration of 'forever friends' from Shiemi. His face got red as Shiemi looked at him, he wondered what she was thinking about what Mephisto just said.

"D-does it counts if it's on the cheek?!" Shiemi asked to... the wall? She wasn't sure where to look at if she didn't even know if Mephisto was in the room, what was most probable for her was that the demon was watching them from the high, since there was a part of the room's ceiling was all dark.

"I'm afraid I'll have to say no, my dear Moriyama-san." The king of time retorted, a playful smile formed on his lips. "Didn't you read the end of my fanfiction? It clearly describes that it must be a kiss."

"... But ..." Shiemi looked down, it was weird.

"I am aware of the fact that with my prescense here you will not do nothing but blush and get flustered, therefore... Eins, zwei, drei!" And with that, they were at a totally different room, the one where Mephisto had welcomed them, it looked like not even a second has passed since they entered into that room.

"Eh?" Rin looked around, those sudden teletransportations were confusing for him. He let out a sigh of relieve, they were finally out! That's what he gets for following Mephisto's voice. He learnt a new thing; don't follow the voice of a otaku-pervert/voyeur-clown-king of time in his own mansion. Also, the other's weren't there. Or they lost themselves on the huge maze Mephisto has as mansion or they were entertained by... Mephisto's stuff? Ah, how pitiful! Rin had the opportunity to have a date with Shiemi but he was too distracted by getting pissed with Mephisto's simple voice. Maybe, only maybe, if he had ignored Mephisto (meaning that he would have accepted his 'help') and had the date with Shiemi, things would've gone different. There was even the possibility of a kiss! Although, the simple thought of having Mephisto watching over them was disgusting. He was so damn distracted with the fact that Mephisto was in the room with them that he didn't had the opportunity to check Shiemi out. She really looked good but it still surprised him that she wasn't uncomfortable with that ribbon.

Mephisto and his unique taste, oh well.

Something warm on his cheek pulled him out of the awkwardness of being alone with Shiemi again, and the usual hot he felt when his face grew red was added to that warm sensation. His orbs glanced to a side to see what was the origin of that pleasant warmness.

It was Shiemi.

Shiemi was kissing him on the cheek! What should he do? Should he stay still and enjoy the sensation her lips caused? Should he stop breathing? Should he panick? No, that was the worse to do at a moment like this. But then...

Warning; Rin's following actions were taken when by the will of his own body, not his mind. Because if it were by the choice of his brain, it would be exploding of joy right now instead of reactioning.

Rin turned himself, which made Shiemi to pull back but he leaned closer in order to kiss her. Shiemi was first staring at him wide eyed, she was now panicking, but when his lips touched hers, it was like her mind cleared and made her lean closer too. After a moment hesitation from Rin's hands, he decided to wrap his arms around the waist. Shiemi's hands stayed on his shoulders, she placed them after hesitating, too. He had the relieve to know that she was just as clueless as he was.

Peeking from a corner of the habitation, the three boys—and Izumo who just joined—were spying on Shiemi and Rin. Basically, the only one looking like if he was spying on them was Renzou, the others were just waiting for them to finish so they could enter. Though, it was tempting to enter and caught him red handed so they could joke about that, they were good enough to let him... finish his kiss?

"Ooh, way to go Okumura-kun~!" The pink-haired boy smirked as he poked his head over the corner, hoping that all the pink Mephisto had in his room would be of use as camouflage for his head.

"Oi, stop it, you voyeur!" Both Bon and Izumo yelled at him, revealing their location.

Rin and Shiemi pulled away immediately.

Oops.

(A/N): There, have a long chapter as a 'sorry' for the short chapters and for when I take too long to upload. (And also for writting RinxIzumo when I'm supposed to be writting RinxShiemi. )

Mephisto, yer a bastard. Iloveyou.

So, yeah, I'm adding more stuff from the manga arc. I like more that arc now that I finally caught up with the manga. God bless Kazue Kato for creating such wonderful story.

I would appreaciate reviews with your opinions since I wrote this last night while watching Dragon Ball Z and I finished today while listening to the AnE OST. ^w^

(^-^*)/ Thanks for reading and have a good day/night/afternoon or whatever Idk.
