I'm so sorry it took me so long to update! I had stuff going on and i couldn't figure out how to start the chapter but I'm good now.

I don't own BE/ANE

Onto the chapter!


Yukio sighed as he walked down the halls of True Cross to the headmaster's office. It's been about two weeks since he started school at the academy and left his home at the monastery. During that time he had been flooded with work, not just because of his actual school classes but because of cram school as well. You see, after that night when he promised to protect his younger brother, he started studying hard about exorcism and even convincing Shiro to let him start classes. Because of his bright mind at such a young age, it wasn't long before he achieved his meisters and soon became ranked as a Middle First Class Exorcist. At such a young age too. Currently, the fifteen year old was in charge of teaching Anti-Demon Pharmacology at the cram school after the usual school hours.

However, the young exorcist had been called down to the headmaster's office for an unknown reason. But then again, he never really felt he could trust the headmaster, even if he has known him for a few years. He finally reached the door to the office and, with a deep breath, opened it.

"Ah, Mr. Okumura, how nice of you to join us." The headmaster, Mephisto Pheles, greeted as Yukio entered the room. Yukio was about to reply to him when he suddenly caught the words Mephisto said. Us? Who else was-?

"Ah, there's my bright young exorcist!" Shiro said as he held out his arms for a hug. When Yukio didn't move, to busy staring in surprise at the sudden appearance of his caretaker for the past eight years, Shiro moved and gave him a hug himself.

"S-Shiro?" Yukio question when he pulled away. He never did get comfortable with calling him dad like his brother did, though he did do it around him to save the younger confusion. "Why are you here?"

"Can't I just come and visit you as a surprise? Or did you just not want to see me?" Shiro laughed.

"No, it's just unexpected." Yukio replied. "Besides, if you wanted to just visit and talk you could have called me and not meet up in Sir Pheles' office."

"Eh, you got me there." Shiro chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Then I do believe you should tell us what brought you here, don't you agree?" Mephisto asked with his usual smirk.

Shiro sighed and took a seat in one of Mephisto's chairs. "Alright. The reason I came today is because, I think Rin needs to come stay at True Cross. For protection that is."

"What? Why?" Yukio asked. He always knew they wanted Rin to live like a normal kid, so why send him to True Cross.

"The seal's weakening." Shiro answered simply. "I don't want to risk something happening and demon's to start hunting him down. At least here, he'll have more protection then at the monastery."

"And where would an eight year old stay on my campus, Shiro?" Mephisto asked.

"I figured he could stay with Yukio." He replied. "I mean he'll still go to school so that won't be a problem for Yukio's classes and as for an exorcist jobs he could either stay by himself or with you, Mephisto. Maybe even come back to the monastery if it's a long mission." Then he frowned at Mephisto. "Besides, you said if something like this came up you would look after him as long as he was still human."

Mephisto hummed. "Yes, I suppose I did didn't I."

Shiro turned to Yukio. "Are you alright with this Yukio? I understand if you're busy with school and such."

"It's alright." Yukio answered. "Besides, I promised to protect him and I won't back out on my word."

Shiro smiled at him. "You really are a great older brother, you know that. Your mother raised you right."

"Then it's settled!" Mephisto spoke up with a clap of his hands getting the two to look at him. "Young Rin will come to stay at True Cross as of tomorrow. Shiro, you can just drop him off here tomorrow and Yukio can pick him up after his classes."

"Great!" Shiro cheered.

"Er…Sir Pheles, where exactly would I take my brother?" Yukio asked. "I don't think it would be right to bring him to the male dormitories-"

"Don't worry Mr. Okumura," Mephisto cut in. "I'll have that all ready for you tomorrow. For now, you should head back to your dorm and pack up so you don't have to do so later. Until then." With that both Shiro and Yukio left the office with Mephisto smirking after them. When Yukio go to his dorm room, which he had all to himself, he started putting things back into his suitcase as well as packing up other things that he wouldn't need tomorrow.


*frowns* its too short. Just for that, I might update again soon simply because of how short this chapter was.
