A.N Thanks to everyone who reviewed I appreciate it so much! It's good to know my reader's like the story. I apologize for such a late update my computer got a stupid virus and so I had to fix it and it took forever so I could not write for a while. Again thank you all for reading.

"I'm going to the store for groceries. Need anything?"

"I'm going"

Yukio looked at Rin confused. He never wanted to go, why today? Yukio nodded still suspicious.


"Rin we can't get a bunch of junk food."

"It's not junk. They are snacks so I don't starve while I'm waiting for the food to cook."

Yukio sighed. He let it slide knowing most of the meals that Rin made were at least somewhat healthy.

"Fine."

"Oh let's get Kuro some fish. Please… he has been such a good kitty." Rin said excitedly rushing over to the counter that displayed fish not even waiting for Yukio to reply.

Yukio couldn't help but admire Rin's enthusiasm. He was always so happy, always had this energy. Yukio couldn't understand it, he never felt that way.

"Yukio!"

He heard someone calling his name so he turned in the direction of the voice. The voice had come from Sheimi, who was back from vacation.

"Hi Sheimi, how was your trip?"

"It was so amazing, everything was so beautiful. I'm happy to be back though, I missed everyone."

"It's good to have you back."

Yukio was happy to see her but even more glad that one more person was back to help watch over Rin. It would be less dangerous if Sheimi watched over him.

A few ideas had come to mind when he had been thinking of ways to help reduce Rin's energy levels. He had been wondering if trying to calm his energy instead of trying to use it all up would work better. They could have been creating more by accident. Sheimi would be perfect; she was calm and knew how to handle Rin when he got out of control.

"Hey Sheimi while you are here can I ask you a favor?"


"So what are you using the fish for, a special dinner? A special someone?"

"Oh well it's for my cat. He has been doing so well helping with the house."

The meat clerk gave Rin a strange look and just handed the fish over.

"Hey Yukio I got the fiiiish." Rin called while he walked over.

"Oh hey Sheimi it's good to see you are back." Rin said while walking by.

"He didn't stay to talk, is he mad at me?" Sheimi said worriedly to Yukio.

"No Sheimi he's just pouting because he's been bored all summer with no one to play with. I'm sure he'll be fine once you guys hang out again."

"Okay I hope you're right. I got to go but I will definitely help!"

Yukio glanced over at Rin hoping he hadn't heard Shiemi. He couldn't find him within distance. 'That's good he didn't hear but I wonder where he has wandered off.'


"Rin how come you got so much food, I don't think we have enough room for all of this."

"Don't worry so much Yuki, I can figure it out." Rin said determined.

Yukio heard a big crash come from downstairs. He had left Rin to figure out where to put all the food they had bought. He was beginning to think that had been a bad idea, especially with Rin's temper.

When Yukio entered the kitchen his jaw dropped. There were boxes of food everywhere and Rin in the middle of it with a cabinet ripped off the wall in his hands. His demon form was in full force his ear longs, the tail on display, his body on fire.

"Rin!" Yukio yelled. "What in the devil's name have you done?"

Ukobach was hiding in one of the lower cabinets and began to speak. "I tried to stop him sir but his rage was too much."

Yukio couldn't comprehend what had led his brother to make such a mess.

"Rin you better put this kitchen back together or so help me." Yukio's face was swollen with anger, his motions were tense.

Rin put the cabinet on the ground.

"I swear I had just barely touched it, it would have fallen later today for sure."

"Well let's see maybe it was because of the extra strength you have acquired through your powers? Hmm maybe that had caused it." Yukio said his voice filled with anger.

Rin growled the tension between them growing. There was a sudden knock at the door.

"What now" Yukio muttered as he headed to the front door.

He opened it, groaning when he realized who was on the other side.

"Mephisto" He said forcing a smile.

"How lovely to see you Yukio. May I come in?" Mephisto said with a devilish grin.

"Well we were just in the middle of something so now is not the best time."

"Oh Yukio, no need to be weary I do not judge. I will only come in for a moment."

"If you must" Yukio said through his strained grin.

Mephisto headed straight for the kitchen, the last place Yukio wanted him to go.

"Oh my Rin you have been busy." Mephisto said feigning surprise.

"Yeah I was trying to get the food to fit." Rin said sheepishly.

"Here let me help" Mephisto said rolling up his sleeves.

Rin gave him a worried look but did not respond.

Yukio was standing in the entrance way protesting but Mephisto ignored his antics. Yukio did not understand why Mephisto would help them with this big of a mess. He had always thought of the purple haired man as only a hindrance and quite honestly selfish. Yukio did appreciate all that he did for them it just seemed as though he was always trying to obtain a gain from it all.

It took Mephisto and Rin quite a while to put the kitchen back together. Rin kept looking over at Mesphisto questioning what had brought on such a generous act.

"Well I must go now, hope you boys enjoyed the company."

Rin began to feel bad because he had always thought of Mephisto as a creepy man who poked his head in everyone's business. Now he had helped them and just was about to leave without receiving anything. He wanted nothing? It was hard for Rin to believe.

"Please stay for dinner." Rin said before he regretted it.

Mephisto's face lit up with a sly smile shining behind it.

"Thank you for the offer dear Rin but alas I must go."

"I don't get it. You come in here and help and then want nothing in return. Why did you stop by?" Yukio said harshly.

"My Yukio what has gotten into you? No need to be so suspicious, I was only dropping by to see how you both were fairing." Mephisto said innocently.

"Well forgive me but I have known you for quite a while and usually what you say is not what is true."

"Are you calling me a liar? I do not lie Yukio, you should know that." Mephisto said giving him a look.

Yukio sighed. "Yeah I know"

"You just leave things out" Yukio muttered.

"And you don't?" Mephisto whispered to where only Yukio could hear as he left.

"Bye Mephisto thanks for the help" Rin said as Mephisto left.

When the door shut Rin turned to face Yukio.

"Why were you so rude? He had helped us."

Yukio shook his head not answering. He walked out of the room feeling tired and not wanting to face anyone, he just wanted to be alone to his thoughts. There had been too much going on for him to continue with the constant banter he and Rin had.

Before he opened the door to their bedroom he felt a presence behind him.

"I'm not in the mood to fight Rin, just please keep the house together while I finish my work." Yukio sighed.

Rin wrapped his arms around Yukio's torso pressing his body against Yukio's back.

"I'm sorry Yuki, my rage can get the best of me." He said into Yukio's ear. Yukio could feel the small puffs of air as Rin breathed, it sent tingles down his spine.

"I know you don't need any more stress to deal with you….you probably need a stress reliever."

Rin began to kiss the side of Yukio's neck. Yukio smiled at the feeling. Rin was always fierce when he was mad but when he wanted to be he could be quite gentle. He turned around to face Rin. Yukio placed a hand on Rin's face slowly leaning in. Their kisses were slow and sensual both just enjoying the feeling of the other's lips.

Yukio broke the kiss and Rin groaned in disapproval.

"I got to do papers" Rin said in a mock voice.

Yukio's face was apologetic.

"It's okay just as long as you make it up to me." Rin said over his shoulder as he left Yukio in the middle of the hall.
