A/N: I should also mention that because of school, I won't be updating like I used to, but I'll try to keep up, don't expect it every few days or every week or something, but I mean, I can always try that too I suppose, try and post every Friday night as a challenge. I can try that and see if it works. I'm a quick writer and not to mention I've got their new backstory written like the back of my hand practically, it won't be too hard I hope. But I don't know, I'll see how it works out,
I'm kind of busy, but not the busiest, and I mean, if you guys ever need me, just to talk to me or something, or have questions, I'm quite active on tumblr and my personal link is located within my profile now, so you can go check that out. You can talk to me about this story, if you have questions about it, or if you just need someone to talk to, I'm all open and I'll always try to get on my personal much more for you guys if you find that more easier to talk to me.
Anyways, enough of that. I'm going to be busy this Wednesday and next. This Wednesday, I'm checking out the college I want to go to with my school, and next Wednesday, which is Veteran's day for me, I have both a doctor's and a dentist appointment (fantastic, I know, right?) but again, I'll do my best to keep in touch throughout the next weeks and any other time. But, besides all that, I hope you guys had a great Halloween! Anybody ready for Turkey Day if you celebrate it? I know I am, but I'm just a fatty.
Also, please keep in mind that, yes I know these chapters are short, but I am still getting used to writing at these lengths, it's been such a while since I've done such a thing and I apologize for it, you'll just have to be patient with me. A/N end.
A young teen was crouched down by a drawer of files. He picked and chose which files to take out, going from last name, to first in alphabetical order.
"Finally." He huffed and drew the file out. He opened the folder and looked down at the information:
Name: Ryuki
Age: 16
Date of Birth: October 23
Height: 5'6
Hair: Black
Eyes: Heterochromia (blue to grey)
Species: Demon.
The young Demon stood up, closing the file cabinet. He glanced around the room, looking for anyone who had possibly sneaked in when he wasn't paying attention to sense such a presence. When he found no one, he made no haste to get over to the open window and jump out
"Well, well, it seems like I have a little mouse in my hands."
Ryuki hummed, sitting down in his desk for cram school. After his classes, he'd be able to go home and just spend his time with his guardians. He glanced up on the board, seeing the date written in orange chalk.
October 23.
Looking up at the date, he wasn't paying too much attention to anything as his mind was drowned in the memories of when he was younger and how he spent his birthday with his little brother. That was, until he felt a sudden impact against his shoulders.
"Happy Birthday, Ryuki."
The noirette grunted and glanced behind him. All he could see was large, snowy paws on his slim shoulders. He looked up a tad more to see a large, white bengal tiger looking down at him with his large, icy pools – his familiar, Ren.
"Thank you, Ren. Now, why don't you go wait for me before class starts?" He suggested. "I promise we'll play afterwards."
He didn't need to say anymore and the feline was already gone. After his familiar left, Ryuki got settled into his desk once more, looking over at the door as it opened.
In came Rin, his boots lightly clicking on the old tile as he approached the teacher's desk. He grinned, his large, sharp canines puckering out against his lips at his class.
"Alright, guys, today we're going to start out with–."
"Oh, pardon the intrusion, Mr. Okumura!" A chuckle escaped pale tiers and in stepped into the classroom was a pair of tacky styled, fuchsia colored boots. They clicked along the marble and a tall, lanky man approached the teacher's desk, standing next to it and the young man standing behind. His purple gloved hands twirled his old pink, ratty umbrella clockwise in a lazy manner and his emerald pools glanced up at the class of eight. His normal grin that made its way onto his lips soon curled into a devilish smirk, as if a snake could smile.
That's just how sinister this man was.
"If you'll excuse me, we have a new student starting today, which I hope you'll treat him well, all of you."
Rin gave the headmaster a peculiar look, his brow arching. He gave this look, as if asking the older demon what in God's name he was doing.
"Mephisto–."
Ignoring the spawn, the headmaster called out to the door, "Come out! There's no need to be shy!"
Oh, but there was absolutely every reason to be shy – no, not even shy could explain how he felt now. He felt terrified. Ignoring the small burn on his neck, though he did flinch in fear at the warning upon it, gloved fingers reached over to grip at the old handle and he turned the knob of the door. The old wood creaked as it slowly opened, leaving it ajar. The young teen hesitated before he finally stepped in.
He had long, wavy, raven locks, stopping below his shoulders and parallel to his sternum. His eyes were a pale icy blue, yet so much more vibrant that Ryuki's tiger familiar. His pupils were that of a snake's eye, such as Mephisto's and he was pale, almost a sickly tone to his flesh with how pale he looked. His porcelain cheeks were high and they were spotted with little flecks of pale freckles. The boy wore a grey hoodie under the coat of his uniform and he slowly drew that back to reveal more of his features. He looked so much more younger than what he actually was, it gave a certain feeling of youth to him. He had full, rosy lips and while he blinked, his dark lashes were noticeably long and delicate.
Some classmates' cheeks would be flushed a pale shade of pink upon seeing the noirette and others, they'd throw their brows up in such astonishment. How could such a tall kid look so fragile and weak?
But then there was Ryuki.
The wooden chair wobbled as the demon stood so abruptly. His pale hands slammed down onto the desk so he wouldn't lose his balance. The sound of the smack upon the wood created a hollow echo resonating within the large room. His heterochromatic pools stared down at the dark haired man. He couldn't help when his voice would crack and that small whisper escaped his lips as his eyes felt like they were burning. No, it couldn't be.
He couldn't even give the boy time to speak. He didn't need it. No, he knew who this boy was, and he was choking up over it. So many memories and such one singular, horrid memory flashed into his head. His slim shoulders wracked
Monster!
No, it just couldn't be. He swore that the man standing in front of him died in his rampage as a kid. Yet, his corpse went missing and Yukio and Rin had done their best to look high and low for him. Yet, they always came up short, so instead of dealing with the heartache, Ryuki simply accepted that his brother had been dead and the two young exorcists managed to lose him in the search within his house.
"Yuuno?"
