"Rin! Your ok!" Kuri hugged him "I sent the Ghoul back to hell, but I apologized for hurting it. It was…just obeying its master after all."

Rin was upset, still thinking of Yukio's words. "I…dealt with the one here…you apologized to it?"

"Yeah. It didn't wanna hurt us. It was a familiar."

"It was a familiar?" Rin said in shock. "Really? Oops."

Mephisto appeared. "Good job solving it! I certainly didn't expect that! This was the exwire exam! Those ghouls were the familiars of Professor Nauhous. We have never had a student recognize that before. How did you know?"

"It told me." Kuri said simply. "When I was kind to it and about to release it to hell. It apologized."

"It also hurt one of your students sir." Reiko said accusingly. "Really badly…if I hadn't healed her…"

"Yes and we were all here." Mephisto reminded. "If anything had happened we would have stepped in. But because you were here reiko, we didn't need to."

"Hey! It was wrong. You shouldn't have made them do that! They didn't like it, ne?" Kuri protested.

"The likes of YOU standing up for demons is quite the sight to behold…" Mephisto said sharply.

"Shut up." Kuri snarled. "You shouldn't treat a familiar like garbage. You should be grateful that they help you! They are your friends why are you being so mean to them?!" She stormed off.

Xxx

Rin ran after her. "What was that all about?"

"Treating demons like that is wrong." Kuri growled. "Using them. Ugh it pisses me off!" She kicked a trash can.

"Why don't you like it?" Rin asked in surprise.

"Demons have as much right to live and be happy as humans do." Kuri said firmly. "As long as they aren't hurting anyone they should be left the fuck alone."

Rin just stared at her, grinning.

Kuri pouted. "Ish not funEE." She said in pout-voice.

"I'm not laughing!" Rin grinned.

Kuri kept pouting. "You look a little bit too smug Rin Okumura…" Kuri tackled him. "and noooooow!" Kuri tickled him like crazy.

"No!" Rin cried and tried to get away.

Kuri pinned him down and tickled him. "You asked for this you little gremlin!" She kept tickling him like crazy.

Rin laughed and squirmed.

Kuri accidentally squeezed his tail and he let out a soft moan causing the two of them to blush and pull apart.

"Ah…sorry…" Kuri whispered.

Xxx

"Why is she defending demons like that? Aren't you guys from a holy line or whatever?" Yukio groused.

"Why does it matter?" Reiko snapped. "Is she supposed to hate them? Do you….hate them?"

Yukio paused. "…I don't know."

"Or is it one particular demon?"

Yukio huffed.

Reiko, poked him, trying to cheer him up.

Yukio giggled suddenly.

Reiko's eyes widened and suddenly smirked, poking his side again.

"S-stop!" Yukio cried, giggling.

Reiko keep tickling him.

"Waaah stop itttt!" Yukio cried, just like a little kid.

"No way! You need to laugh and smile more Okumura sama!"

"Heh heh." Yukio turned a glare to her. "Okumura-sama huh…?" He pinned her down. "That's not my name."

Reiko's eyes widened and she looked up at him. "Ah?"

Yukio tilted his head. "What's my name Reiko?"

"I-I couldn't possibly…I…it's Okumura-sama!"

Yukio growled. "You can. And you will. I can do this all night. What's my name?"

"You can't make me!"

"'Say my name.'"

"Yukio." Reiko said breathlessly.
