Thank you all for the reviews/follows/favorites

Unto the chapter!

"Hey." Despite the greeting, Rin couldn't help but stare up in confusion at the group of teens standing in the doorway of his current home.

It had been a few weeks since his episode in the park, and since then Yukio had gotten Shiro to take Rin out of that school and Mephisto had kindly offered the supplies needed to homeschool Rin, of course he's mainly taking classes online since Yukio also had classes. Mephisto had offered up his services in teaching Rin for Yukio, but the exorcist didn't trust the other alone with his brother, especially since he knew Mephisto knew what his brother was. After all, he did seal his powers for him.

So Shiro took time when he could to come watch Rin, who was always happy to see him. Of course, he couldn't be there all the time since he was in charge of the monastery at home as well as the Paladin of the True Cross Order, meaning he didn't have a lot of time on his hands. So most of the time Yukio trusted Rin to stay home alone, silently telling Kuro to keep an eye on him, while Yukio dealt with his own school as well as the job as an exorcist.

Now, happened to be one of those times Yukio wasn't home.

"Hi?" Rin greeted back with a tilt of his head. It wasn't that he didn't recognize the people, he remembered them vaguely from the classroom he first saw his brother in when he came here. He could also see Shiemi in the group.

The boy with pink hair smiled at the young boy. "Hey, you're Mr. Okumura's brother, right? Do you think you could tell us where he is?"

Rin stared at him, slowly blinking, before shaking his head. "No. Yukio said he just had to go somewhere for a bit. Why?"

"Er...He was just supposed to meet us here as all." the pink haired boy said nervously, looking back at his classmates helplessly. Rin just watched them for a bit before looking back inside at Kuro, who tilted his head in return.

Looking back at the older teens that stood before him, Rin came to a decision. "Ok, come inside!"

"Huh?!"

Rin just blinked at all of them. "Come on in. You're waiting for Yukio right? I don't know when he'll be back but you can stay with me! Besides, I was just about to cook dinner for us, so you can all stay for that!"

"Are you sure?" Shiemi spoke up from the back, not wanting to cause any trouble for the little boy.

Rin just smiled. "Of course! Yukio told me that I shouldn't talk to people I don't know, but I know all of you so it's ok!" When he saw none of them were following him, he let out a long and loud groan and grabbed the person who was closest to him by the arm. "Come on!"

Shima stumbled as he was pulled into the house by the young boy, letting out a small yelp along with it. The others stared in shock before slowly following Rin inside as well.

Yukio let out a long and low sigh as he approached his home at the dorm. It had been a stressful meeting he just came out of and he couldn't pushed down the annoyance he felt for a certain headmaster much longer. He had gone to Mephisto in hopes that during the week of the exwire bootcamp, he could send his brother back to the monastery so he didn't have to risk Rin getting hurt or attacked by anything. Mephisto on the other hand explained that he would be unable to send Rin back to the monastery because Shiro would be unable to watch over Rin, claiming he would be in just as much danger there as he was here in that case. The only difference is that there would be exorcists here to defend Rin.

Of course, Yukio had no doubt Mephisto had something to do with the time that Shiro was gone on a mission for the Vatican and the bootcamp happening at the same time. The fact that Mephisto was even taking the chance to risk this also made him angry. There was no doubt that the older man was getting some sick enjoyment out of this.

He opened the door to the not-so abandoned dorms, unable to simply use a key to return incase Rin was anywhere nearby, and was met by the sound of his students complaining.

"Are you sure we can't start eating yet?! What about just a little taste?!" Shima's voice came from the dining area.

"No!" Rin's voice came as a whine back. "We have to wait for nii-san! He said he would be back by now so we could eat together!"

"Why did you make dinner so early then?" Suguro's voice chimed in, but it was still gentle so Yukio took slight comfort that the teen was smart enough to know he was talking to a child.

"Because then dinner would be ready when he came in and Yukio wouldn't have to wait!" Rin answered before. "Hey! Don't touch the food!"

"Aw come on-OW!" Shima cried out suddenly and there was a giggle from Rin. Shaking his head, Yukio decided to break things up before anything bad happened. He walked into the dining hall and found most of his students sitting in tables with the exception of Shima and Suguro who were walking away from the kitchen area. Rin was grinning brightly as Suguro pulled his friend away from the table and it brightened even more at the sight of Yukio.

"Nii-san!" He called happily from the kitchen window. "You're back!"

"Yes." Yukio said with a nod before raising an eyebrow at his younger brother. "And can you tell me what's going on here?" He motioned to the exorcists-in-training.

Rin shifted nervously on his stool that allowed him to look through the window between the kitchen and the dining room. "Well, they said they were looking for you, so I let them inside to eat."

Yukio continued to give him a pointed look. "What did I tell you about answering the door while I'm gone?"

"You said that I shouldn't answer the door." Rin muttered back.

"And why is that?"

"Because I shouldn't talk to strangers."

"Thats right." Yukio said with a nod. "So why did you answer the door?"

"Well," Rin hummed. "I looked out the window, because I wanted to see who it was and I know them, so it's ok! 'Cause you said not to talk to strangers, but I know them!" Rin suddenly lept off of his stool and into the dining room, pointing at the students at the table. "I know that's Shiemi, and...and...uh."

He trailed off, forgetting who the others were from only knowing their names from the brief meeting he had with them when he first came to True Cross.

Yukio smiled at his brother and his attempts to justify what he did. He watched as Rin looked down at the ground with a pout, trying to remember what each teens' name was. With a chuckle, he moved to his brother's side and crouched down so he could talk to him.

"How about you serve up dinner and then they will reintroduce themselves to you, ok?" Yukio said before ushering Rin into the kitchen. He motioned for his students to stay put as he helped bring out the dinner that his brother prepared. Looking down at the plates his brother prepared, he knew that the students would be shocked by the dinner they were about to eat.

Once everything was handed out at the table and they all gave thanks for their food, they dug in and the room was instantly filled with cries of pleasure at the taste.

"Woah!"

"This is great!"

"Will I be able to get seconds?!"

"This is delicious."

And so on.

Yukio smiled as he watched his brother blush beneath the praise and joy shown in his eyes. He could understand the shock his brother was experiencing. After all, the only people to have eaten his food and compliment him was family, never anyone who he had only met briefly.

"T-Thanks!" Rin thanked, shifting and smiling beneath their praise.

"I'm Shima Renzo, by the way, again." Shima introduced himself with a smile. "Er...sorry about earlier, it was just that the food smelled so good."

Rin smiled at him. "It's ok! I forgive you!"

Again, Yukio smiled. His brother was always so forgiving, even if it was someone trying to mess with something he loved. Now, he wouldn't say that Rin was always the kindest if his multitude of fights he's gotten into were anything, but he also knew those fights had been for moral reasons.

"My name is Konekomaru Miwa." Konekomaru said with a smile. "I would like to thank you for the food, it is very good."

"Yeah, I'm impressed." Suguro said but he shot the kid a grin. He remember how he had admired him back in the class and while it made him uncomfortable, making a kid upset would be worse, especially if he was the brother of their teacher. "I'm Suguro Ryuji."

Rin seemed to glow now. "Thanks! And...uh...you still look really cool."

Suguro rolled his eyes at the boy's behavior.

After that, Izumo and Paku bother reintroduced themselves along with giving their respective 'thanks yous' for the food. When they had all finished their meals, Yukio helped his brother clean up. Once that was over, he turned to his brother.

"Rin, how about you go with Kuro to go play for a bit, ok?" Yukio asked, "I need to talk to our guests but it needs to be private."

"Why?" Rin asked tilting his head.

"Because it's about that club that I run but you aren't part of it. Also, I think you'll get bored with the conversation." Yukio offered as an explanation.

"Ok." Rin consented before running off with Kuro following him.

"And no eavesdropping!" Yukio shouted after him before turning to his students that remained in the room. "Now, we need to go over a few things. I understand you are all here for the bootcamp. During this time, I had attempted to send my brother home so I could avoid his staying here clashing with the camp, but it appears I will be unable to do so."

He sighed before continuing. "This means you will all have to be careful around my brother, since he will still be here during this time. Thankfully there shouldn't be any need to exorcise a demon while within these dorms, but the fact remains I would like to keep my brother out of harm's way and from receiving a temptaint. I don't even want him knowing about demons or exorcists. Do I make myself clear?" He gave a glare to his students.

Suguro suddenly raised his hand and Yukio turned to him. "Yes?"

"If I may ask," Suguro began. "If you're having the camp, why don't you just move the camp somewhere else?"

"If I could, I would, but as of right now this is a good place to teach you without putting your lives in danger, since you're still learning. Also, the camp would require me to stay overnight with you all, but I can't leave Rin here alone for that long." Yukio answered, "Any other questions?"

Konekomaru raised his hand and after getting permission to do so, he asked. "If you don't want your brother around demons, why do you allow him to have a cat sidhe? Even if he doesn't know it's a demon, that doesn't change the fact that it still is one."

"Good question." Yukio replied. "This is because Kuro is a familiar of my guardian and is already adapted to living with humans. I also trust that Kuro will watch over Rin. Besides, he makes him happy. Anything else?" There were a few shakes of their heads. "Good, now, one last thing is that Rin believes we are an after school club. Because of this, if he asks a question about something pretend we are a study group of some sort, but nothing with much detail. Now that this is done, I will show you all were you shall be staying for the time being."

With that he led his students through the dorm halls. He was happy that his brother had not tried to listen in on their conversation and he was a little comforted by the idea that there will be six others there to help his brother if need be.

He led them up to the second floor which was the floor he and his brother slept on. He then pointed in each direction as he explained where each person would be sleeping.

"The girls shall sleep in the rooms of the hallway left of the stairs. You may choose any of the rooms as long as they are in that hallway. As for the boys, they will sleep in the rooms of the hallway right of the stairs. It is the same hallway my brother and I sleep in and I will show you which is our room and you can choose any of the remaining rooms." He recieved nods in reply before turning right to show the boys their rooms while the girls went to go find their own.

Yukio stopped in front of the door that was a little off of being the center of the hallway. "This is our room. You three may choose out of the ones remaining on this side. If you wish, there are two beds in each room, meaning two of you can dorm together or you can all have separate rooms. I will leave you all to unpack now." With that, he entered his own room and found Rin rolling on the floor with Kuro.

"Rin," He spoke up gaining the younger one's attention. "All those people we ate with today will be staying with us for a little while, ok?"

"So, more than just us will be here?" Rin asked.

"Yes, for about a week."

"Really?!"

"Yes." Yukio chuckled at his bright eyes.

"Cool!" Rin exclaimed before stopping. "Why?"

"It's just for the club I run, you don't need to worry."

"Ok!" With that Rin turned back to playing with Kuro. Yukio sighed as he watched his brother. Hopefully this camp could happen without any problems for either side, but he also knew that Mephisto was up to something he probably wouldn't agree with if he knew. But still, hopefully this week and the exam when it came could pass without any problems.

He could only hope.

So that was that! I finally updated! Yay!
