I don't own AnE.
Tenth Moment
It was a Saturday when it happened…
…
…
…
…
…his brother really needed to get his instincts under control…
"Nii-san… why are there feathers all over the common room?" Yukio asked in exasperation, wondering just what his errant older twin had done this time.
"I swear it wasn't my fault! There was some sort of crow demon, and it possessed Koneko, and I had to get it out of him, but it totally wouldn't so I had to use my flames, and-"
"Nii-san, I didn't ask how the feathers got to the common room. I asked why they are in the common room…" There was a flash as lens caught light, and a dangerous aura surrounded the teacher-student. Nervous shuffling was heard all around the common room of the abandoned boys' dormitory – not so abandoned anymore, since the cram school kids started coming over – as 6 pair of eyes were all pointedly not looking at their teacher.
There was a silence, broken only by Shura sipping her beer and Kuro softly purring as he sidled up to Rin's leg for attention. Truly, it was as if the exwires were all afraid he would punish them or something! (He would, actually. Truly, this lot could do with another go under the bariyon demons, but they wouldn't know that.)
"Yukio, well, uhm…." Rin trailed off, not entirely sure himself on just why he had to bring the feathers inside after taking down that demon – just that he did. Really, he didn't even realize he was doing so until Sheimi pointed it out, and at that point everyone else had pitched in for something to do!
Poor Rin never knew what hit him.
Sheimi could only gasp in surprise.
Suguro, Shima, and Izumo were at a loss for words.
Konekomaru looked amazed.
Shura just laughed.
"YUKIO NOT FAIR!" Rin ran down the hall as his twin chased him with – of all things – a Holy Water squirt gun, chasing him down like a naughty cat caught doing something bad by its owner.
Really… Shura had so much blackmail from this!
Eleventh Moment
The soft scratching of pencil on paper filled the room, made all the louder by the soft grunts of frustration and stifling heat. The exorcist cram students – save Takara – were all stuffed in a room at the abandoned boys' dorm, completing summer homework under the dutiful eye – and not so dutiful in Shura's case – of their teachers. The worst of the summer storms had passed just a few days prior, leaving behind the blinding heat that not even cicadas would enjoy. Thankfully, however, tempers were left unaffected by the unbearably miserable weather.
…
Or so they thought…
"Can someone quit that already? GAH, I can't concentrate enough as it is!" Rin shouted out in annoyance, gripping his head and he swayed back and forth. His classmates and friends looked to him in confusion, all secretly glad for the reprieve but wondering what had their already-temperamental friend on edge.
"What's wrong, Rin?" came the inquiry of Sheimi, pale skin flushed from heat and green eyes creased in concern. Izumo piped up from the girls left, her sarcastic remark not at all harsh. "Yeah, what caught your tail and chomped on it?"
Shima chuckled from the other side of the table, expression worry-free as usual. "Maa, maybe he's just sensitive to the heat. He is a fire demon, technically!" Koneko shook his head at his friend's logic, thinking it was something else at play.
Suguro looked to Rin, scowl in place but concern alighting his eyes as well. "What's got you all worked up? Did the blue monkey strain his brain a little too hard?"
Yukio could only shake his head at the groups usual antics as Rin told (read: accused) them of his problem. "You wanna know the problem? The problem is that one of you jerks has a friggin' laser pointer and is using it!" The poor half-demon was aggravated beyond belief, tail flicking behind him in agitation. Shura chuckled from her spot on the floor against the far wall, lazily sipping from a can of her favourite booze. This caused Rin to whirl on the woman, glare in place and fury in his eyes, though it had no effect on the unbothered woman. "Shura! I should have known it was you! You're always making fun of me and calling me a cat!"
Shura snorted and stretched out on her side, clearly showing off her occupied hands as she lay her head back on one, and lifted her can with the other. It also showed her lack of pockets, though that didn't necessarily mean she couldn't hide a laser pointer. "Sorry Rin-rin, but I aint got one! Not like I'd want ta use it, anyhow~ It's more fun having dogs chase ya~"
Rin shuddered at the memory that comment brought up, not wanting to be chased up one of the Academy's numerous trees by a pack of dogs. Again. He turned to the rest of the room's occupants, clearly not happy at being made fun of, but no one seemed to know who the culprit is.
Really, couldn't they get through at least one homework session without interruption? Yukio shook his head and motioned for Rin to sit back down. "Nii-san, why don't you take a seat? It's probably just the heat getting to you." The elder twin bit his lip in frustration, clearly not wanting to just let his tormentor go, before giving a sigh and sitting back in his seat. "Fine, whatever…"
…
The peace did not last long before Rin was on his feet again, roaring out his frustrations as he managed to flip the table over. "GAH! THAT'S IT! IM DONE!" He looked around the room, pinning the startled students in his sapphire gaze. "WHICH OF YOU HAS THAT DAMNED LASER?"
Silence pervaded the room as pencils rolled on the floor and papers fluttered to the ground. No one uttered a word.
They didn't have to, as Sheimi nervously played with her hands in her lap, causing something metallic to clink softly together. All eyes looked towards the shy and clearly nervous girl as she chuckled distractedly. "Ehhehe… uhm…" Rin looked flabbergasted as the tamer held up a small cylinder with a cone on one end and a button on the side, hanging off a small keychain. "Sorry… Rin… I just…" she trailed off, not sure on how she would get out of this after having been caught.
No one would have expected the shy and timid girl to pull something like this. Shura would have been the obvious choice, and she had to give the small female some props for having come up with the idea. Shima merely chuckled, getting smacked by Izumo for trying to put his arm around her, while Suguro and Yukio wore deadpan expressions. Konekomaru looked on slightly curious, taking note of the similarities (after all, you can't be named Konekomaru without the character for neko!) Rin trembled slightly, small tears of betrayal in his eyes as his blue-black tail hung low. Sheimi flinched at the expression, bowing her head.
"I'm sorry, Rin. You just looked so cute cuddled under the blankets that day you and Yuki-chan helped me, and I thought that it couldn't hurt to try something out. I'm sorry…" The teen huffed and sat down, clearly miffed still, but a small blush adorned his cheeks.
"Whatever. Just don't do it again." Sheimi nodded to his words, and the group got to setting the table back to its position. Not much else happened after that aside from homework being done and Shura passing out for a booze nap…
Unfortunately for Rin, the joke wasn't entirely over…
…
…someone decided to leave a cat-eared headband on his desk at cram school…
…not only that, but Angel happened to walk in just as Rin burned the black ears in blue fire…
…
…Yukio had a lot of explaining to do…
A/N: I seem to be making poor Yukio sigh a lot in these drabbles... idk but he just seems like the type to just, sigh over everything that Rin does, almost like he is resigned to his twins' antics after all these years. Does that make sense?
Also, I have not read the Yukio manga spin-off. So if there happens to be any similarities, well, I claim no knowledge! Not only that, but it really strokes the ego when you get your fic-obsessed best friend to read your fanfic, so I guess you could say she also beta-read the other chapters? (Haha, love ya, Dee!)
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed! (And no, I don't really have a hidden over-arching plot to this. Except, well... I do have one thing planned, but it aligns with the anime? Sorta? I'm not really planning anything, truly!)
