OK so this is the next chapter.

Thank you for all the reviews/follows/favorites

Yeah! Update! Now before anything lets answer a question I've seen a few times now.

Q. Ok so I got people asking me if this will follow the manga or the anime.

A. My answer is not really either. This story will have plays from both anime and mange (especially the ones they both have) but at a certain point this is going to take another route that has nothing to do with either.

I don't own BE/ANE

Ok, onto the chapter!

Rin laughed as Kuro tackled him when he heard a knock at the door. He froze before looking at Kuro.

"Should I get the door?" He asked the cat. Yukio was here at the moment but he was upstairs in his room, so that meant Rin was the closest. Kuro meowed in reply. "Ok!"

With that he ran to the door and looked out to see a teenage girl standing out there. She looked to be about Yukio's age and had blonde hair and green eyes. She was dressed in a pink kimono with flowers of different colors on it. She seemed surprised at Rin standing there.

"Oh!" She exclaimed with a soft voice. "Hello there! Um…is there a Yukio Okumura here?"

Rin tilted his head at her. "Why? What do you want with Nii-san?"

She squeaked again in shock. "Oh, so you're his little brother! I'm sorry, my name's Shiemi Moriyama. I'm a friend of your brother! I came here to thank him for helping me yesterday!"

Rin stared at her confused. He remembered Yukio saying he had to go work on a project, but maybe he was lying. Keeping that thought in mind, he asked. "What did he help you with?"

Shiemi seemed to hesitate. Rin just continued to stare at her as she thought about what to tell the child. She didn't know if he knew about demons and she certainly didn't want to be the one to introduce him to them. So she chose to tell him most of the truth.

"There was something in my grandmother's garden." Shiemi said. "It was causing trouble and I needed help getting rid of it because I couldn't bring myself to do so."

"So you got Yukio?"

"Yes."

"Why?" His sudden question caught her off guard.

"What do you mean?"

"It was your grandma's garden right?" Rin asked and he got a nod. "Then why didn't get rid of them yourself for her?"

"Oh, I wouldn't have been able to like Yuki could." Shiemi said shaking her head. "I-I don't have the skills he has."

"Rin just pouted at her, crossing his arms. "You love your grandma right?"

"W-Well yes, but-"

"Then stand up for her!" Rin exclaimed firmly. "She's family, you don't leave family."

Shiemi stared in shock at this young boy who staring up at her with so much seriousness that she was at a loss for words. This young boy seemed dedicated to sticking up for family and it amazed her.

The two just stared at each other for a few minutes, neither breaking eye contact when footsteps came up from behind Rin.

"Rin? Who's at the door and why didn-SHIEMI!" Yukio exclaimed as he came up behind his younger brother, his eyes widening at the sight of the girl. Chuckling nervously, he pushed Rin behind him and gave her a grin. "What are you doing here?"

"I, uh, I wanted to thank you for yesterday!" Shiemi stuttered out nervously.

"Don't worry, it was nothing." Yukio said with a wave of his hand and a small smile. "I'd be willing to do again."

Shiemi gave her own smile before she suddenly gasped. "Wait, Yuki do you think, I could become a-" She cut herself off as her eyes glanced over at Rin. She again didn't want to say anything, unsure of whether or not Yukio was teaching Rin about demons.

However, Yukio, being as smart as he is, was able to catch on to what she was saying and he furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you sure you want to join Shiemi? I don't know how much you'd be able to handle what goes on."

"Yes, I want to!" Shiemi stated with a nod of her head. "I want to be able to help my family if I have to! To be stronger for my mom!"

Yukio was suspicious about this sudden change in his friend but nodded anyway. "Then you're free to join. We'll talk more tomorrow at your place and I'll help you get inducted in."

"Thank you!" Shiemi said with a deep bow. "See you tomorrow!" With that she turned and left.

Yukio let out a sigh before closing the door and turning around to find Rin standing there with his arms crossed and watching him.

"Yes?" Yukio asked raising an eyebrow at his brother.

"You lied to me!" Rin accused. "You're a liar, lair and your pants should be on fire!"

Yukio resisted a chuckle at his brother's words and instead asked. "And what makes you said I lied?"

"You said you were working on school work." Rin pouted.

"I did, I just visited Shiemi afterwords." Yukio replied.

Rin said nothing as he stared at him. "…"

"…"

"…Rin-?"

"Why didn't you just say you had a girlfriend?"

"What!?" Yukio exclaimed, staring at his brother in horror. "NO! We're not-I mean…we're just friends!"

"Sure, Yuki" Rin said, smirking at his brother as he used the name Shiemi had been using.

"No, Rin, we've just known each other for a long time, ok?" Yukio said, continuing to defend himself. "We're simply childhood friends. We met around the time I was you're age."

At that Rin frowned. What was with all these secrets he seemed to keep finding out about. Dad had a cat he didn't know about, Yukio had a girl "friend" that he didn't know about as well as ran a club. He was really confused about all of this! Yukio seemed to have caught his expression as he called his name and Rin replied after a few seconds.

"Why do you and dad have so many secrets?" He asked looking down at the floor.

Yukio sighed before he knelt on the floor before Rin, placing his hands on the child's shoulders. "Look, we didn't mean to keep these things from you, they just seemed so little at the time, ok? If we would have remembered to, we would have introduced you."

Rin looked up at him. "No more secrets?"

"No more secrets." 'At least nothing this small.' Yukio thought. "And if something comes up, then I'm sorry for forgetting to tell you. Am I forgiven otouto?"

Rin seemed to contemplate this for a few seconds before giving a bright smile. "Ok! I forgive you!"

Yukio laughed, his brother could be too nice sometimes.

"But," Rin suddenly spoke up. "You need to make it up to me."

"Huh!" Yukio gasped, staring in shock at the young boy in front of him.

"Yeah!" Rin exclaimed with a cheeky grin.

"Ok, then." Yukio thought for a few moments before giving Rin a smile. "How about I get you some ice cream?"

"But you lied!" Rin whined. "I think it should be bigger!"

"Alright…" Yukio once again had to think about it for a few moments before he came up with an idea. Mephy Land! He could take him there one day when he found the time. "Ok, I know what to do but you have to wait a bit ok?"

"But Nii-san!"

"Trust me it will be worth it. Until then, how about you get ice cream today?" Yukio offered.

"Ok!" With that, Rin rushed off to get his shoes.

Yukio sighed in relief. He was silently thankful Shiemi had refused to say anything about demons to Rin and the fact he was still oblivious to his job as an exorcist. But he also knew he had to be careful with Rin here and he could only pray that he doesn't get caught up in anything like this.

I know its short but this chapter is meant to get things rolling from no on. So drama should be starting within the next two chapters.

Feel free to ask questions, comment, etc.

Until next time! :D
