Disclaimer: I don't own Blue Exorcist or Winx Club, only my OC's and plot.
Summary: "Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong...or at least that's what it seemed like at first. But after I've actually been here for a while it seems more like fate wants to make one guy's life a bit better...either that or the Ethereal Fairies have a really twisted sense of humour." - Blue Exorcist/Winx Club Crossover -
So…yeah…long time no see…
Another chapter done. Sorry it took so long.
While I have the ending of this fic more or less planned out, I kinda got stuck on how to develop the current part ^^. I decided to type out the ending first, and it somehow helped with the block a teeny tiny bit. I'll still have a few hitches with the next few chapters, so please bear with me for a bit ^^
Before I forget, the fic will focus mostly on the mangaverse of Blue Exorcist (Although…seeing as the lovely Miss Kazue Katō loves her plot twists, I might want to reconsider ^^), although I will be adding some elements of the animeverse here and there (like Ukobach…he's way too cute to leave out :3).
I'll also concentrate mostly on the Rainbow version of Winx Club (and maybe with a teeny bit of the comics added). Well, at least for the Nick Specials. Especially season two, which made up the "The Shadow Phoenix" arc, as I feel that Nickelodeon didn't do Avalon any justice with the way they made the special (no offence to the Nickelodeon lovers, it's just my personal preference, 'cause Avalon is one of my favourite characters in the story ^^).
Well then…here enjoy ;)
Last time:
"She has been transported to a place nearly devoid of magic, with no means of communication."
"Earth?" Amanda asked, slightly more hopeful.
"It seems very likely." Erica smiled, before frowning "And it would seem that she had encountered a demon."
"A demon?!"
"Though, she doesn't seem to be in any danger. It would seem that this particular demon is protecting her."
"It sounds suspicious, demons don't protect people without reason, especially not beings of light."
Magic and Exorcism
Chapter 8: Why not to let Rin play a lyre in class.
Bianca almost sighed with relief when the bell for lunchtime rang. It had been quite intimidating to sit next to the younger Okumura twin. She didn't know what it was, but she felt an unusual tension concerning him. She packed her books as quickly as possible, hoping to escape his creepy aura as soon as possible.
"Valerio-san?" a voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Ah, Okumura-otōto" [1] She managed to force a somewhat convincing smile.
Yukio's gaze looked as if he was staring straight into her soul.
"Uh…is something wrong?" she asked nervously.
"Stay away from Rin." he nearly growled "I don't know what your game is, but I warn you. Hurt my brother and I swear I'll kill you."
"Why would I do that?" she deadpanned "I mean, where else am I gonna get lunch?"
"So it's for you." he looked stunned "I was wondering why he suddenly started making three lunchboxes."
"And I don't want Kuro to eat me." she shuddered "Rin told me how he went berserk before."
"Good."
"Good! So you can stop worrying so much!" she grinned "You'll get wrinkles!"
She scooped up her bag and walked out of the classroom. Yukio still couldn't shake the feeling that she was hiding something.
"Hey, Bianca!" Rin called at her as she walked down the stairs.
"Rin." She greeted when he reached her.
"Here." He smiled and handed her a parcel wrapped in a cloth "I made extra octopus wieners today."
"OHMYGOSH Rin!" she squealed as she glomped him "I freakin love you!"
"Ah…" he blushed slightly when he noticed that some of the girls were giving them weird looks.
"There's something weird going on with her." Ryūji frowned as he watched the two.
"No way, Bon." Renzō chuckled "She looks pretty normal, even if she hangs out with him of all people."
"I'm telling you, there's something really odd about her."
"Did…something happen?" Konekomaru asked, slightly tense.
"Sort of... I think..."
"What happened?"" Konekomaru asked
"The coal tar don't go near he-" Ryūji began.
"Uh…the coal tar don't normally go near super cheerful people like her…" Renzō pointed out.
"Don't interrupt me" Ryūji glared at the pink head.
"Ah…s-sorry…" Renzō smiled nervously.
"The day she transferred, I swear that I saw a coal tar that touched her go berserk…like they do when they touch holy water."
"No…way…" Renzō blinked "Uh…maybe she bathes in holy water or something. I've heard of people who do that."
"But the effects go away when the holy water dries." Konekomaru said as he frowned "You're right, Bon, that is very odd."
"Awe man…" Bianca pouted as the bell rang.
"Back to hell." Rin sighed "Damn…and I have maths now…"
"Ouch." Bianca winced "Well, at least we have double music afterwards."
"Oh yeah, that's right." he smiled "That will make the maths somewhat bearable."
Bianca let out a small sigh as the bell rang, signaling the end of the theory part of the double music period. She closed her theory book, excited since their teacher, Ayako Minami, a petite lady with long wavy black hair and onyx eyes always allowed them perform small pieces of their own choice during the second half of the double period. She believed it helped boost their confidence and aided them to discover their own personal style in music by having them perform their own music for their fellow students. Something Bianca thought was pretty neat. [2]
"Ok, please remember to do page 18-20 for homework." the teacher, spoke with a smile "Ok, now let's get the instruments ready. You have 5 minutes to warm up."
Ms Minami moved to the back of the class, drawing the curtains separating the theory room from the practical room. The students packed away their theory books, and took out their music sheets, and those who had their own, took out their instruments.
"Oh, a lyre?" Bianca stopped as she and Rin entered the back.
"Lyre?"
"That." Bianca pointed to the small harp like instrument with ten strings "It's really ancient, and referred in the Bible numerous times and sometimes in mythology too. The number of strings varied at different epochs, and in different localities."
"Oh." he nodded slowly, before picking it up. "It looks pretty neat.
He strummed a few strings. After fumbling for a few minutes, he managed to figure out how to play a few songs.
"Hmmm...you're pretty good for a first try." Bianca noted "Took me ages to figure the bloody thing out."
"Could teach me?" he asked brightly "Please?"
"Rin, are you making a puppy face at me?" she laughed "Ah, how can I refuse such cuteness?"
"Thanks!"
"Oukumura-kun!" Ms Minami smiled brightly as she walked over to him "I didn't know you knew how to play the lyre!"
"Ah…well, just a bit."
Rin continued to play, making less and less mistakes as the minutes went by. She felt herself relax…almost too much. She became aware of the feeling that something was wrong. Looking at Rin, she noticed that he was completely zoned out, but still playing.
"Rin?" she asked getting no response from him. "Hey, Rin!"
Waving her hand in front of his face also proved futile.
"Sensei? Rin is acti-" she then noticed that Ms Minami and a few students were in the same zoned out state.
'Hypnosis through music?!' she thought in shock.
"Hey, snap out of it!" she tried to take the lyre from him, but he didn't budge 'Stupid demon strength.'
She sighed as she realised what she needed to do.
"I'm really, really sorry bout this, Rin." she apologised as she sent a small wave of light magic into him. He immediately doubled over, looking extremely pale. The rest of the class all snapped out of their stupor, and seemed to not even notice that they were hypnotised at all.
"Okumura-kun?" Ms Minami asked, her voice full of concern.
"Are you ok?" Bianca asked, and mentally added another 'I'm sorry…'
"Yeah…I just feel a bit…" he shuddered, not bothering to finish the sentence.
"Valerio-san, will you please escort Okumura-san to the nurse's office?" Ms Minami asked
"Yes, sensei." she nodded 'The least I can do, seeing as it's my fault he's feeling like that in the first place...'
'I'm so sorry…' she whimpered slightly
"Uhm…why are you apologising?"
"Did I say that out loud?"
"Yeah…" he nodded.
"I see." she murmured before smiling nervously "Don't worry about it…I was, uh, talking to myself."
"Uh…ok." he gave her a weird look.
"I should be getting back to class now." she said as she got up. "Please get some rest, ok?"
"Yes, mother." he sighed and flopped down on the bed.
Bianca walked back to class deep in though, but snapped out of her stupor when the bell rang. She nearly reached to music class when Shizuka called her
"Bianca-chan! I brought y-your bag, since the b-bell rang." she smiled as she handed Bianca's bag over.
"Thanks. You're the best." Bianca beamed
"How i-is Okumura-kun?" Shizuka asked.
"He's ok." Bianca answered "The nurse said he just needs some sleep."
"T-that's a relief." Shizuka sighed. "Oh, I'm r-running late. I'll be s-seeing you later?"
"Yeah. See you." Bianca greeted as she watched the girl hurry off.
"What happened to Nii-san?" she stiffened as she heard Yukio behind her.
"He's said he's feeling sick, so Minami-sensei asked me to take him to the nurse's office." she answered.
"Valerio." he challenged "What are you hiding?"
"Can't lie to you, eh?" she lowered her head. "Uh, can we discuss this...somewhere more discreet?"
This was originally going to be a filler chapter, until someone in my church's youth group pointed out something very interesting about theology which fits in perfectly with my initial plot idea.
Ayako (彩子) "Colour" and "Child"
Minami (南) "South"
[1]
There some honorifics that are used when referring to people when they are in the same school or working environment as their siblings (especially twins), since it makes it clear to which sibling you are referring to. These include:
* -otōto (弟) for younger brothers
* -aniki (兄貴) for elder brothers
* -imōto (妹) for younger sisters
* -aneki (姉貴) for elder sisters
So in this case Rin is referred to as Okumura-aniki, while Yukio is called Okumura-otōto by most of the normal True Cross students. Bianca refers to Yukio as both Okumura-sensei and Okumura-otōto depending on the situation.

I actually got this idea from my vocal coach. He has my fellow students and I perform for each other a few times a year. It's a lot of fun, so much, that one student's wife started joining in with her violin :D
