"Man, imagine how cool it'd be if I got to summon something." Complained Rin as he and Yukio followed Bon, Shim and Konekomaru out of cram school classroom.
"For once I agree with you, Okumura." Mumbled Bon.
'While I still don't believe this Exorcist nonsense, I still would have at least like to see if Nii-san or myself could summon one. Maybe then that'd be proof enough.' Though Yukio as he silently followed Rin.
"Kamiki!" Came the abrupt cry from Shiemi as she ran towards Izumo but Izumo continued walking forward, not even glancing back.
"Izumo, she's calling for you." They heard Paku say as she looks between Izumo and Shiemi.
"Ignore her. Come on Paku! That girl bugs me." Replied Izumo.
The boys watched the interaction, Rin growling slightly and even Yukio and Bon held a frown upon their face.
"Wait!" Called Shiemi again as Paku continued to stand between then, split between following her best friend and helping Shiemi. "Hey! Hey!"
"Eventually Izumo gave in and tunred to Shiemi. "Why're you following me around!? Don't get uppity just cause you summoned a familiar!" Shouted Izumo
'This girl…' Thought Yukio darkly as he continued to watch on, ready to intervene if the worse were to happen. He doesn't really know Shiemi well, but he knows enough to enough that she has a good heart.
"Um….um…..P….please …..B-be my friend!" Stuttered a flustered Shiemi.
"Huh?" Said Izumo and practically every guy watching, not expecting to hear those words out of her mouth.
"I…I've….never had a friend before…" Muttered Shiemi.
The look on Izumo's face changed, and neither did Yukio, Rin or any of the guys like the change of expression.
"Hmmm, okay."
"Huh?"
"From now on we're friends."
"Really?"
"So here." Said Izumo as she throw her school bag towards Shiemi, who catches it. "I'm not very strong so I get tired easily, friends help each other out. So carry that for me." Replied Izumo.
"Okay!" Beamed Shiemi as she and the two girls continued walking.
"Izumo!" Protested Paku, seemingly outraged by what was happening.
"It's all right. She likes it." Replied Izumo casually.
"Damnit. Shiemi looks like a servant for that girl with the short eyebrows." Growled out Rin.
"You mean Kamiki?" Asked Konekomaru.
"Just leave them be." Replied Bon.
"I doubt that." Said Yukio.
OoOoOoOoO
"She's just bossing her around!" Exclaimed Rin as he begins another rant about how Izumo is using Shiemi. While Yukio can see where his brother is getting at, there really isn't anything they can do about it at the moment, seeing as Shimei thinks it's in the name of friendship and won't think otherwise.
Ignoring his brother, Yukio turns to their teacher. "Remind me again as to why the exam is being held at our dorms?" Asked Yukio as he and Rin waited outside with their teacher.
"Well, Okumura, seeing as only you and your brother vacate the abandon dorms, it's the perfect place to hold your exams. Plus it was arranged by Sir Pheles to hold them here." Replied their teacher.
'Of course he arranged it.' Thought Yukio as the other students started arriving one by one.
"Whoa! What is this place? A haunted hotel?" Asked Shima as he gazed up at the abandon dorms.
"This place is spooky! Isn't there anyplace better? Here. Hold this." Said Izumo chucking her bag to Shiemi to carry, who took it happily.
"Moriyama… You don't have to if you don't want to!" Said Paku
"I don't mind! After all, I'm helping a friend!" Replied Shiemi cheerfully.
'Just as I thought.' Thought Yukio as he watches the three interact, noticing Rin deadpan over at them.
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
"All right, times up. Hand over you papers." Called their teacher. "That's all for today. We'll go over the answers tomorrow at 6am."
"I'm going out for some fresh air." Replied a somewhat dazed Rin.
"Yeah. Go cool off." Replied Bon.
"You wonna come too, Yukio?" Asked Rin.
"No, I'm fine." Replied Yukio.
"Paku, lets take a bath!"
"A bath!? Me, too!" Said Shiemi.
"Hahaha! A girls bath, huh? Nice. I'll have a peek in!" Giggled Shima.
"Shima! You're sort of a monk, you know!" Shouted Bon.
"Renzo and his bad behaviour." Muttered Konekomaru.
"Don't forget our teacher is here." Spoke Yukio, and the room went silent as all three boys looked from Yukio to their teacher, who sat silently on a chair looking over the exams.
Shima looked from their teacher, then back to Yukio. A smirk gracing his face.
"Come on, Yukio. Loosen up!~"
"I don't engage in such frivolous pursuits." Replied Yukio with a smile, though his voice held a dark vibe. Shima retreated, a nervous smile on his face.
"Man, and I thought you and Okumura were twins, yet the two of you are complete opposites." Said Bon.
While the three talked, Yukio was having a somewhat inner battle.
'Even though we're studying to become Exwires, it feels like any other school day, it just feels so normal; a little too normal. Perhaps I should give this a chance? I haven't really gained any evidence to prove otherwise that this is a lie.' He, Bon, Shim, Konekomaru and their teacher all instantly stood up after hearing a piercing scream.
