Chapter 35~

"Shima, hurry up or we'll leave without you!" Rin called out from the bus, as he sat near the back with Izumo, waiting for the said pink-haired teen to say good-bye to his brother.

"Give me a second!" Shima whined, as he looked at the demon for a moment, before turning back to Yukio; his cheeks red. "Please, Sensei!"

"We don't have time for this, Shima. Get on the bus and go." Yukio spoke in frustration, trying to usher the whining teen into the bus. "You'll be late for your mission and get in trouble."

"Sensei, plea-"

"Come on!" Rin said, as he got up from his seat and pulled Shima into the bus; his brother being successful in getting the exwire close enough to the bus to be pulled in. "You can bother Yukio, when we get back."

"But, Rin-chan!" Shima whined, as the bus doors closed.

"Rin-chan!" Yukio repeated, glaring at his older brother; from the other side of the doors, as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Rin-"

"I'll explain when we get back." Rin sighed, as the bus driver yelled at them to get in a seat and the demon dragged his friend to the back of the bus and forced him to sit with him; behind Izumo.

"Sensei's mean." Shima pouted, leaning back in the seat and pouting.

"What were you two going on about, anyway?" Rin asked, before Shima pulled him out of the seat and back a few more so they had some space between their other classmate. "You guys were talking for at least ten minutes. What was so important?"

"I wanted Sensei's cell number, so I could keep in touch with him, but he wouldn't give it to me." Shima said, with a pout, as the bus took off; the pink-haired teen looking behind them in time to wave good-bye to the demon's younger brother. "Do you think he doesn't like me, Rin-chan?"

"Are you kidding me?" Rin said with a frown, looking at his best friend. "He won't stop talking about you, it's practically giving me a headache."

"Really?" His best friend perking up in a second and smiling. "Does he really talk about me?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, Sensei doesn't really talk about me a lot in front of others; when I'm there." Shima confessed. "I was starting to think Sensei didn't like me, after all."

"He does, trust me." Rin said, with a smile. "I noticed his lesson plans he wrote for the week and I tried to get a peak, but he went ballistic on me, just because he didn't want me to ruin all the little doodles you drew on it."

Shima's face lit up, his cheeks turning a bright pink, and messed with the hair on the back of his head; mumbling something about how he never meant to doddle on his younger brother's things, which made Rin smile and look up at the ceiling of the bus. The demon glad Shima was happy being with his brother and that Yukio was actually opening up to someone, for a change. Despite the way Yukio acted and Shima's rare perverted jokes, the two fit well together; which had surprised Rin in the beginning. He never actually thought the two of them would have anything in common. Then again, the demon never thought he'd fall in love with Bon; but things had turned for the better and both of the teens, sitting at the back of the bus, were as happy as they could ever be. The both of them happy with their promotion to exwires ad even happier about their love lives. Rin smiling to himself, as he remembered the make out session he had with Bon, before he had headed off to the bus. Everyone in the class was going out for missions and the two of them knew they'd be away from each other for a bit, which had ended up with Rin pouting and Bon doing the one thing that would comfort him. Although, the demon wasn't complaining. He felt great and ready to jump into the mission they had been assigned, with or without his Kurikara; which was sitting beside him, Blacky sitting beside Izumo a few seats ahead of them. Rin wanted to get the mission over with and end up right in his boyfriend's arms.

"Rin-chan, you never told me how your date with Bon went." Shima said suddenly, snapping the demon out of his daze.

"It was great." Rin said, automatically smiling. "We ate Sukiyaki at this nice little restaurant and sat under the stars, for a good while."

Rin blushing at the last thing he said looked toward the window, remembering what had happened under those stars that night; and how much he loved Bon. Not just for those romantic moments, but for every other one as well. The simple, quiet, and easily forgotten ones. Memories that made the demon love the teen even more. Despite the fake fights and punches they had to throw in to shift everyone's attentions away from them, during their accidental tender moments in class or at lunch on rare occasions. Under the fake violence, Rin knew he loved Bon with everything he had and that Bon felt the same way.

"Have you guys gone any farther than kissing?" Shima asked, innocently, making Rin stop his train of thought and nearly freak out when Blacky jumped into his lap.

"Not really," Rin lied, laughing a bit. "but we've gotten close."

"Your such a liar, Rin!" Blacky meowed, frowning at him; the sith cat jumping up and down on his lap. "Tell Shima-chan the truth!"

"Really? I thought Bon would have tried to make a move by now." Shima spoke with a twist of disappointment in his voice. "He's always seemed like the guy that would do that."

"Sorry to disappoint." Rin said, glaring at Blacky to get him to stop commenting.

"Don't lie to Shima-chan, Rin! That isn't fair, he deserves to know."

"No he doesn't." Rin said with a frown, not paying any attention to the pink-haired teen beside him. "I don't have to go around telling everyone about my love life."

"So you two have done it?" Shima asked, beside him; making Rin jump a little in his seat.

"I didn't say that!" Rin said suddenly, his face turning red. "And I was talking to Blacky!"

"So, who was on top?" Shima pressed, having totally ignored the demon's words. "And how many times have you done it?"

"I win." Blacky said teasingly, grinning and hopping out of his lap to go sit back with Izumo.

"Traitor." Rin growled after his familiar, before he looked back at the pink-haired teen patiently waiting for his to answer his questions. "And I'm not telling you."

"Rin-chan!" Shima whined, pouting. "I'll tell Yukio on you."

"You better not!" Rin growled, giving his friend a small glared. "Or I'll tell Yukio you were checking out that girl in our history class."

"Please don't! Sensei would get mad!" Shima spoke in a pleading whine. "Besides, I just want to know. I'm not going to tell anyone; Rin-chan. I promise!"

"Fine." Rin said with a sigh, as he gave in, due to the headache he was getting. "Bon topped me and it was twice, happy?"

"Really?" Shima said, with a hint of surprise in his voice. "Was it good?"

"There is no way I'm answering that." Rin said, frowning as he pulled out his cell phone and shoved it into Shima's hand. "Just type in Yukio's cell number into your phone and quit asking questions, please."

"Thank you, Rin-chan!" Shima said excitedly, as he pulled out his phone and typed in Yukio's cell number.

"Whatever, just don't tell Yukio I gave it to you. He'll probably get mad at me."

"I won't, Rin-chan! Thank you!"

"Why do I have to help with this crappy squid fry thing, when we could be swimming?" Shima said with a frown, the pink-haired teen sitting on the hot sand as Rin was cooking .

"Come on, just have some. This fried squid is so good you'd sell your soul for a single bite!" Rin said happily, as he was trying to get attention to the small food stand they had set up on the beach; who had seemed to have ignored him.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself, Rin-chan."

"Huh?" His best friend turned to him and looked down at the exwire who was sitting behind their table. "Well, I don't mind doing this; but there's not a single customer! It's weird. This squid really tastes great."

Shima just let out a sigh as he watched Rin's familiar look at the food in Rin's hand and look up at his owner, a look of pleading on his face.

"You can't have any, Blacky. It's for sale." Rin spoke to his familiar, having once again ignored the pink-haired teen.

"I've been wondering, Rin-chan, is that your new familiar cat sith?" Shima asked, getting Rin's attention once again.

"Yeah, they said this was a mission, so I brought him along."

"But how's this a mission?" Shima said, as he stood up; then frowned. "Although, this better than looking for seaweed for anti-demon drugs."

"This shop and the inn we're staying at are both run by the family of the whisker guy's wife." Rin replied, even though Shima knew he was talking about the teacher that had come with them.

"I'm starting to feel like Bon and Miwa were lucky to get away with looking for ghost stones at the Tama River." Shima said with a sigh, as he sat on the sand again, a few girls in bathing suits walking by as he laid back on the sand. "I guess we'd need a cute sales girl to attract customers. Maybe if Izumo helped out a bit more. She really sucks at teamwork."

"Sorry about that." A female voice said above him, making the exwire look up.

Only to find Izumo looking down at him with her long hair tied up in a ponytail and a mint green hoodie covering up the top half of her pink bikini, a yellow inner tube under her arm. Shima automatically standing up and moving away from his classmate, so he wouldn't get kicked in the face.

"You look cute in you bikini today, Izumo." Shima said quickly, so she wouldn't yell at him and get in trouble later.

"What are you saying? I helped with the squid fry already, didn't I?" She questioned, frowning at all of them, as she turned on her heel. "Or do you think that being a salesgirl suits me better?"

Shima muttered a quick sorry and she was gone in a heartbeat, turning away from them and heading for the sea. The pink-haired teen letting out a sigh and looking at Rin.

"Same as ever, Even this heat doesn't melt her." Shima muttered, frowning.

"Ah, thanks for the hard work!" Shima jumped a little and turned to see their teacher grinning at them, a fan in his hand. "How's the business? I'm happy to have kind students like you."

Shima felt the side of his mouth twitch and Rin let out a chuckle beside him, as their teacher wished them even more luck and walked off.

"What's so funny, Rin-chan?" Shima asked, turning to his friend.

"You and Yukio defiantly have a lot in common." Rin laughed, his familiar looking at his master in question.

"Why would you say that, Rin-chan?" Shima pressed.

"Because the side of your mouth twitches, when your pissed or irritated, just like Yukio." Rin pointed out, his laughter no longer present, but a grin on his face. "Just like when Yukio's left eye twitches, the left side of your mouth does; too."

"I never noticed that," Shima poked his cheek and looked at his best friend. "but I've never seen Sensei's eye twitch before."

"Then I'll show you when we get back." Rin said, giving him a grin. "It doesn't take much to get Yukio mad at me."

"Do we have to make Sensei mad?" Shima asked, a slight panic in his voice. "He might not talk to me then."

"You'll be fine, Shima." Rin said with a sigh, giving him a slight frown. "I don't think you could ever do anything to make Yukio mad at you, or make him not talk to you. He can't resist you."
