Hello to you all. Thank you so much for waiting on this next chapter. Now, do to because I want to keep this story under a minimum of thirty chapters, I think this whole fic will come to an end with the twenty-fifth episode of the series. However, I will still mix in the manga. And since not many people said anything (or didn't say anything at all, in fact) there will be no opening sequence for this story. So yeah.

Now, in this chapter, the mix of the manga, episode four and five are going to run together. If it seems that Fem!Rin is going to be different from her male counter part… then that's exactly what's suppose to happen. This also means that Bon's showing up! So that means the romance begins! Well, I hope all of you will like this. Now lets get this chapter rolling!

Disclaimer: I only wished I owned Blue Exorcist.

Chapter Three: The Training Tamer and the Temple Child

I gain Friends and Rivals

"No… oh God…. W-why?… Why him?… and oh, his brother! I-I… so sad- OUCH! YUKI!"

Yukiko stood over Rin, an irritated frown on her lips with a rolled-up news paper in hand. She had found Rin on her bed, reading a manga (some sort about pirates gaining powers from magical fruits or whatever). She gave a huff as Rin tried to reach for the manga her sister took from her.

"Give that back! I need to find out what happens next!"

"First of all, this is my copy, nee-chan. Secondly, don't you have to do those studies I planned out for you yesterday?" asked the brown-haired fifteen-year-old. Rin bit at a hangnail on her thumb.

"I am. It's just that the stuff you gave me is for kids!" she snapped, reaching under her bed and pulling up the books her twin gave her. Book after book, each one was entitled with things such as, 'Child's First Bible' and, 'The Basics in Everyday Roots', books that were meant for five-year-olds. Rin never felt more degraded.

"Well, I thought they would work out for you. What with your… study habits." said Yukiko. She yanked her volume away when Rin made a grab for it. "And stop trying to steal my volume! I still haven't read what happened at the end."

Rin stuck her tongue out and she shifted to her stomach, her black and almost fluffy tail curling and uncurling on it's own will. Rin looked at for a second, wondering just how the Hell it could do that, when she noticed that Yukiko was slipping on her coat.

"Going somewhere?" she asked, crossing her legs as she sat up. Yukiko nodded as she buttoned-up her coat.

"Yes. I was sent a request. It'll probably take a few hours or so. With enough time, I can do some of the errands I had planned for tomorrow. I won't be gone for long." she said, slipping on her boots. Rin hopped off the bed in an instant.

"Let me come with you! This'll let me learn a lot more about exorcising! Come on, Yuki! Pleeeaaassseee?" asked the blue-eyed girl, her tail wagging with vigor. Yukiko gave the slightest frown.

"I don't think so. Aren't you even tired from yesterday's events?" she asked, referring to the girl they had met the day previously. Rin shook her head, recalling the events with meeting Shiemi Moriyama, a girl who had been nearly possessed by a flower demon, yet she was saved by Rin and Yukiko. Rin remembered her clearly. The girl was a ditz, but a nice person, and a good friend that Rin was happy to make.

"Nah, I ain't tired one bit, Yuki! Come on, nothing bad will happen!" she cried, reaching for her sister with a puppy-dog look. She knew that Yukiko could not resist that look. It worked for her ever since they could walk and talk.

"Nice try. But like I said, I'll only be gone for an hour. Just stay here and study, nee-can. Ittekimasu!" she called as she left. Rin gave a huff and lied back in bed, picking a fairytale book Yukiko had left behind, saying that Rin might enjoy it.

'Yeah right. News for ya, nii-chi, (1) the old man read these to us when we were five-year-olds.' she thought as she opened the book and flipped through a few of the pages. She snorted as she read about the so-called and overly-robed Prince Charming, who could've been Mephisto in an odd way, save the helpless and lost damsel from the evil dragon. 'Man, why doesn't the damsel step up or something? You think they would learn by now that Prince Charming is just some pretty boy who can't even save himself. Huh, a real guy, not some guy who could be confused for as a gay.'

She laughed to herself and stashed the book away. Ruffling her tail and giving a yawn, Rin changed out of her clothes and into some looser clothes. Giving another yawn, she hopped on to her bed and pulled the blanket over her, her eyes opening and closing lazily before they fell shut and she sank into sleep.

And was this sleep good. Rin felt like she could sleep forever. If only it were for that annoying tapping…

"Okumura-san! Stop dozing off!"

"I'm awake! My Sukiyaki was burning! " yelled Rin, flailing her arms about and looking around. Damn, Did time fly. The black-haired girl didn't realize that she was in her first period, World History, on her first day of True Cross Academy. Everyone in the classroom gave her odd stares, but Rin flipped them off when the teacher wasn't looking and she sighed tiredly.

"Are you alright, Rin-chan?" asked the girl next to her. She had short, pale-blonde hair done in a bowl-like style and her eyes were a pale green, making her look like a little doll. Rin spared a small half-grin.

"'M fine. Just didn't get enough sleep last night, Shiemi-san." she said to her friend since yesterday. Shiemi still gave a peculiar look but didn't question further.

"What the Hell is with this bitch? Has no respect or dignity at all."

Rin's ears twitched at that insult and she turned her head around, her head tilting and eyes going into curious mode at the sixteen-year-old that stared at her. He was the strangest boy Rin had ever seen.

He was somewhat bulky with his height a few inches taller than Rin herself. His skin was a good shade of tan while his hair was mainly black but one streak that went right through the middle was fluffed and in a pale gold color. It must've been a faux-hawk. He had multiple piercings on his ears with a light stubble. He wore the standard boy's uniform and he glared at Rin with his deep brown eyes. Rin blinked in bewilderment before turning back to the board, trying to listen to her sensei's lecture.

She could feel the burly guy's eyes burn holes in the back of her head and she gave a frustrated sigh.

'That's it. This dude is starting to creep me out and I just know he's been the one giving me mad looks since I got here. Guess I can just scare him off a bit.'

Rin made sure her teacher wasn't looking and she turned to the boy. She gave him hooded eyes that made him jump back, making Rin bite back the snicker she wanted to let out. Slyly and very seductively, Rin threw him a sultry wink and she blew him a kiss. The boy's face turned ten shades of red and he barred his teeth angrily, looking ready to strangle Rin.

The girl turned back and laughed behind her hands, her feet tapping to prevent the stomping she wanted to unleash. Her breath was held to prevent her laughter.

"Rin-chan?" whispered Shiemi, cocking her head. Rin looked at her with a huge grin.

"Shiemi-san! I just totally fucked a guy's mind-"

"No talking during class, Okumura-san!" snapped her history teacher, looking very pissed off. Rin cleared her throat and threw a mock solute.

"Yes, sensei!"

Through out the day, Rin could steal feel the weird guy's eyes one her. In each and every class they had together, those eyes of dark brown were on her like a leech, as if trying to make her head spontaneously combust under that heated glare. Rin was really staring to get pissed-off. Just what was this guy's problem? What did she ever do to him? Hell, she didn't even knew his name! Things seemed to be easing up when there was the last ten minutes for Demon Pharmacology. They had just taken a test and the ultimate demon's daughter looked ready to hit the hay.

"I'm sure I got a good grade on the test today! It's my best subject! Right, Rin-chan?" asked Shiemi, smiling happily. Rin gave a nod in acknowledgement and she rested her head on her elbows, feeling tired. When Shiemi came back, Rin flicked her eyes on the score that had a forty-one out of a hundred written in red letters on the top of it. She gave a lazy smile.

"Your best subject, huh?" she asked, watching the blonde deflate in her seat.

"Okumura-san." called Yukiko.

"Yes, sensei." she said, getting up and walking over to her sister. She gave a gulp as she read twenty out of a hundred. She groaned and looked at her sister. Yukiko gave a knowing look.

"Try harder next time. Maybe try studying for once?" she asked, cocking a brow. Her twin gave a grumble and she hardly noticed someone shoving pass her while walking pack to her seat. She looked and her eyes met the tall boy's, his eyes glaring daggers at her as he walked over to get his test. Rin spotted his paper as it was handed to him. She gave a gasp.

"Ninety-eight out of a hundred! What the Hell!" she yelled, catching everyone's attention. The boy looked at her paper and smirked.

"Twenty out of hundred? Tch, I couldn't even score that low with my eyes closed. Try studyin' instead of goofin' off and you just might get someone, brat." he sneered, sparking up the girl's anger.

"Who the shit you calling a brat! With how you act and look, I'm surprised you even spelt your name right, asshole!" she yelled. The guy glared back.

"Watch who you're yelling at, runt! The way with how I look doesn't effect with how my study habits are! Listen, you wanna know why I take these classes! To do some studyin' an' earn the right to call myself an exorcist!" he yelled. And he didn't stop from there. "It ain't just me: everyone here is here to become an exorcist! 'Cept you, of course! Actin' like the world around you is just some sort of game you can play! If you can't take any of this seriously, why don't you just get the Hell out of here and let those who want to becoming an exorcist do what they want!" he yelled. Rin balled up her fist as fume steamed up in her ears. Her anger was rising to the point of no return. Was anyone going to see that she didn't see that world or life as a game anymore?

"Wh-What gives you the right to say that shit to me! I'm working as hard as the lot of you, cock-head!" she yelled, her eyes sharply narrowing her pupils. Both were about to pounce and beat the other to death when two other students grabbed the boy while Rin was held back by her sister.

"That's a load of bull! You do nothin' but sleep, ya bitch!" yelled the boy.

"B-Bon, calm down." stuttered one of the boys. He had a buzz-cut and he wore rectangular-shaped glasses.

"Yeah, be cool man. You're getting worked up over some girl." said the other boy, his tangled knots in a shade of dark pink.

"I-I'm more of a practical person, damn it! I learn more when I move around! Ya hear!" yelled Rin, trying to get out of Yukiko's surprisingly strong grip.

"Yes, yes. Good and valued points to the both of you. Come on, lets calm down now." said Yukiko, petting Rin's head. Her sister pulled herself out of Yukiko's arms.

"Just who side are you on! I'm your sister, goddamn it!" she yelled. Yukiko merely gave a light chuckle while Rin gave a growl, shooting a look at the boy named Bon. He glared right back at her.

"Geez. Just where the Hell are Yuki and Shiemi-san? Didn't they say they meet me here on break?" Rin muttered as she sat down by a fountain in one of the academy's courtyards. A few cheery blossom petals fluttered around and the fountain bubbled with a few pennies at the bottom of it. Rin pulled out her bento, opening the lid and smelling her own delicious cooking. Fujimoto was right; cooking was where Rin was a genius.

"Well, well, well. If ain't the slacker girl."

Rin looked up and glared as Bon and his two other friends walked over, the three of them dressed in the academy's winter wear.

"What do you want, cock-head?" she asked with acid in her tone, snapping open her chopsticks and poking at her fatty tuna. Bon glowered at her.

"What's the matter, runt? Got no friends with ya to eat with? Then again, who would want to eat with a bitch like you? Looks pathetic to me." he said, giving a bark of a laugh right after. Rin barred her pointed teeth angrily.

"You're one to talk! Considering that you have those two hanger-ons with ya! What's the deal, can't handle going alone? If anything, you're the one who's pathetic!" she yelled, forgetting about her lunch and cracking her knuckles. The three males gave blank and shocked looks, not believing this girl said that.

"Pfft~!"

"That ain't freakin' funny!" yelled Bon, glaring at the pink-haired boy next to him. The other gave a casual smile.

"It kind of was, Bon." he said, holding a laugh behind his hand. "'Sides, she's kind of cute, huh? Hey, you free this Saturday?" he asked, winking at Rin.

"Bite me." she threaten, a snarl at the end of sentence. The boy just gave a grin.

"Where ya want it?" he asked, narrowly missing the two-colored-haired boy's fist that swung and the back of his head.

"Get serious." he said, glowering at him before turning a blatant look to the blue-flamed demon child, who gave the look back.

"Did… we miss something?' asked Yukiko as she and Shiemi walked into the scene with their bentos.

"I believe that the flames of passion are beginning to flicker, ladies." said the calm and cool boy. The two girls could only blink as they watched the somewhat epic stare down between their friend and the brown-eyed boy.

"HA! Good luck catching up to me, cock-head! I guess when it comes to strength and brawns, you're just at the bottom of the barrel!" yelled Rin as she laughed with mischievous glee, smirking back at Bon and the giant demon frog that was after them. It was time for athletics and both teens were dashing through a deep pit, trying to get away from the demon that was set on them. Bon gave a huff and he grounded his teeth as his lungs began to cramp.

'Sh-Shit! How can she even run this fast?' he asked himself, taking a deep breath as he tried to catch up with Rin. He caught her running form in a sudden slow stance and he took a slight look to see her pale and toned legs, probably smooth to the touch. He then mentally slapped himself.

'Dumbass! What the Hell are you thinking!' he mentally yelled as he growled and pounced forward, kicking Rin in the back and sending her sprawling a few feet away.

"Alright, that's enough!" yelled their athletics teacher, blowing his whistle and chaining the demon frog back to it's cage. "What the Hell were you two playing at then! Are you trying to get the other killed!"

"Trying… b… but not su… succeeding…" panted Rin as she adjusted Kurikara to be more comfortable on her back all the while throwing a mad look at Bon, telling him, 'Fuckin' bastard. Ya couldn't gotten your ass bitten off.'

"I'll-Ill do anything… to make sure that I… I don't lose to a slacker like… you…!" grunted the young man, catching his breath. Rin gave an angered cry and she pounce, almost clawing out Bon's hair before the teacher grabbed her by the scruff of her neck while Bon was grabbed by his two followers.

"I said enough! The both of you had to work as a team in this course, not race! That's it. Suguro-kun, come with me for a moment. Everyone else, talk amongst yourselves." said the teacher, leading Bon a little away from the group. Rin rubbed her neck and blew her twisted bangs out of her face.

"Freakin' asshole. Just what's his problem?" she asked herself, stuffing her hands in her short's pockets.

"Ya gotta forgive Bon for that. He sometimes bites people's heads off when he gets really pissed." said the pink-haired boy from lunch. Rin stared at him, feeling more confused.

"But why? That's all I wanna know. Oh uh, listen; sorry for the insult at lunch. I wasn't thinking then. I'm Rin Okumura." she said, apologizing quickly. The boy waved his hand.

"It's alright, Okumura-chan. I'm Shima Renzo, and this is Konekomaru Miwa." he said, pointing to the guy with the bald head next to him, who gave a gentle wave.

"Nice to meet the both of ya. So, can you tell me why this guy," she jabbed her thumb in Bon's direction with a frown, "acts like there's a ten-foot pole up his ass? What's his deal?" she asked. Shima gave a light smile.

"Bon just like to take things seriously. In class, in studies, in life, and whatever else. Ya see, he got has this big ambition that he just won't quit on. It's pretty big, something that no other person would ever try." he said.

"And what would that be?" asked Rin, placing her hand on her hip. Shima grinned with a sort of twinkle in his eyes.

"He wants to become an exorcist and defeat Satan himself."

Rin never felt more surprised.

"Sensei, I know, I know. I apologize for picking a fight. It was wrong I know but," Bon turned his gaze to Rin, watching her talk with his friends. He felt his knuckles nearly pop out of his hands as he clenched his fists. "why are you giving me this lecture, and not Okumura-san? Why ain't she getting any of this." he asked.

"To tell the truth, I think it be best not to mess around with this girl. Word gets around at the city. For one thing, they call this girl a demon. People have been seeing her beat up gangs of twenty on her own ever since she was ten. She's strong. That, and she happens to becoming here on behalf of Sir Pheles. The man says she is a pretty special student. All I'm saying is you better not get into some bad blood with her." said the teacher warningly. Bon looked to Rin again, his heart gaining adrenalin pumps as surges of ambition coursed through his veins.

Rin's silence made Shima laugh.

"I know, pretty insane, huh?" he asked, Konekomaru giving him a scolding look. Rin tilted her head in confusion.

'Why's he laughing? It's a little odd but it doesn't mean that it can't be done. Why does everyone laugh?' she wondered, remembering Mephisto laughed at her the night the two had met each other when she told him her goal.

The two then went on explaining about the 'Blue Night.' The night at Bon's father's temple, where each and everyone of the monk's, all except Bon's father, were burned and murdered by Satan. The evidence left were the still burning blue flames around the temple. Ever since then, that temple was called 'cursed' and Bon had vowed from that day to become a exorcist and beat Satan. Rin took a moment to hold her swaying feet from that blow of emotion. She never knew… her father would do such things. It was true… he was a demon.

A cell phone suddenly rang and the teacher pulled out the silver device answering it.

"Yes, sweetie? Oh right now, pumpkin? Very well. I'll be there in two minutes." he cooed, closing the phone. "For the remainder of this period, I would like all of you to keep out of the Leaper's cages. They have the ability to read minds and attack anyone without hesitation. Be good before I get back. So long!" he called, racing out and making everyone give a sweat-drop.

"The Hell? Is that even allowed?" asked Bon, looking down-right angry for such the idiotic actions that had been made. "This is bull-shit! I thought this academy was suppose to be a sacred place of learning! Where those who study and exceed prove what they got is real! Not some dump for dipshits! And don't get me started on some students!" he hissed, looking directly at Rin. The latter bit down so hard on her tongue, blood could have been drawn out.

"What the fuck did you just say! That's it! I am so goddamn tired of freakin' people like you who think that I treat everything like a shitty game for kids! Well I got news for you, cock-head; you got no freakin' clue about me! You don't know Jack-shit about me! You've got no right to say I don't have what it takes. So do me a favor and leave me the fuck alone!" she screamed, breathing so heavily that she could feel tired tears gather in her eyes. For a moment, their eyes met. There was a sudden feeling of mutual understanding. It was then replaced with the intensity of a roaring fire.

"You're just some spoiled rich kid. You don't have to make an effort," muttered Bon before turning serious. "Ya gonna cry? Go ahead, do it! Or better yet, show that you what it takes! Here's how it goes. You and I are gonna have a race. The first one to touch a Leaper and come back without a scratch wins. It'll be easy, but not that easy. Like the sensei said, a Leaper can read minds. If it finds you thinkin' of any aggravating thoughts, sadness, anger, depression, or whatever like that, it'll attack. Ya up for it or what, girlie?" he asked in a challenging tone. Rin's tears sunk back into her eyes and she gave a cocky smirk.

"Sounds good… But I ain't doing it. If I screw up, I'm dead. No doubt." she said, her hand going to the strap of her bamboo sheath. ''Sides, I can't summon Kurikara in front of everyone. That just screams 'SATAN'S DAUGHTER.'' She thought with a small shake of her head. "And anyway, it's stupid. I get where you're coming from. You got your ambitions, and I got mine. We just aim for them in different ways. And some pointless little competition like the one you're saying ain't worth the trouble. So you can forget it." she said. Bon core coiled up with white-hot anger, his words coming into his mouth before he knew it.

"To Hell if you have ambitions! To Hell if you get me! You dunno the shit I've been through!" he yelled, remembering the memory of when he declared his ambitions.

(Six Years Ago)

"Get away from him!"

"He's the child of the cursed temple! Stay away from him, dear!"

"His father runs that evil place. I bet he is just as bad. And with that face! You'd think he'd be in the Yakuza(2)."

Stop laughing…

A ten-year-old Bon felt his cold and numb ears cupped and he looked over his shoulder, seeing the smiling face of his father, who was dressed in his monk clothing. The father ruffled his son's black and feathery hair. It was yet to be striped.

"Ha-ha. People say such silly things, don't they?" asked his father, smiling a toothy smile before walking ahead.

Why are you laughing?

"Ryuuji," the monk called, gaining his son's attention, "You don't have to take over the temple if you don't want to. Live your life the way you want to." he said with a small nod. Bon's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Why…?

It's…

It's all Satan's fault!

"I can't take it anymore!" yelled Bon suddenly, making his father stop. "Father! I'll become an exorcist and defeat Satan! Then I'll rebuild our temple!" he declared, his nostrils flaring. His father turned to him a gave a heart laugh.

"Such a silly boy you are, Ryuuji. To defeat Satan. Oh how you make me laugh." chuckled his father. Young Bon's mind went in a frenzy, anger and desperation flowing everywhere.

"I'M DEAD SERIOUS, DAMNIT!"

I will defeat him… I WILL!

(Present)

"You don't know shit! You say you wanna become an exorcist! But where's the proof! I've been studyin' my ass off and trainin' ever since I was ten and what have you been doin'? Probably been pampered and spoiled rotten! Well you know what? Screw you! I'm gonna touch that Leaper and you can see that I'm gonna be the better exorcist!" he yelled in triumph, dashing and jumping to the pit and landing a few yards away from the Leaper. The creature eyed him with it's big eyes, as if trying to read his mind through his eyes. Bon glared at it harshly.

"I ain't afraid! I'm ready! Come on, bring it! I'm the guy who's gonna kick Satan's ass!" he yelled, his brown eyes flashing. His yell echoed through the room. It was then cut off by a girl's laughter. And it was not Rin's.

"Oh God! This is hilarious! Defeat Satan! Yeah right, keep dreaming, ya kid!" laughed one of the girls, everyone else looking uncomfortable. Bon's breathing was coming in harsh breaths as brutal memories of his past came. He could see his ten-year-old self, silently crying as people made fun of his ambition.

Don't you…

Make fun…

A single tear flowed from his eye.

LAUGH AT MY AMBITIONS!

The Leaper saw the tear and it could hear Bon's inner anger. It took a crouching position…

'Shit-!'

And pounced.

There was a sudden gust of cold air and Bon didn't feel the pain of being eaten alive or being slashed to death. He heard some people take gasps and he heard Shiemi gave a scream of fright. Bon's eyes, which he never knew he closed, flew open and his eyes widen a whole fraction.

"Hey!"

Rin stood in a tangled way, her torso caught in the beast's mouth and her hands holding onto the mounds of the Leaper's nostrils. She could feel her ribs constricting under the pressure of the rubbery jaws but she ignored it. Her eyes locked onto the Leaper's yellow one's, her teeth sharpened and barred like a wolf's and her eyes as dark as the midnight sky. Blooming emotions of leadership and authority blazed past her pupils.

"Get. Off. Me." she punctuated, venom words so heated and angered, it was if her father had possessed her. And that was what the Leaper thought. For it thought it was looking into his God's eyes. Those splashes of different blues mixed in with those commanding emotions made it quiver.

"Didn't you hear me? I said, GET OFF ME, DAMNIT!" growled Satan's daughter, her heated glare making the Leaper recoil and kneel to the floor, bowing before the kin of the Devil. Rin turned around and gave a look of power that was mixed with something else that the temple child could not understand. There was just something in those big blue eyes…

"You're a complete idiot for two reasons! One, jumping in this pit and trying to prove to me that you're better than me. And two, it's your goal. You can say all you want about training and studying. But when it comes right to it, I'll be the one who defeat him! That's right! If anything, I'm gonna be the one to defeat Satan!" she yelled, puffing out her chest and declaring this dream to the world. For a moment, Rin felt on top of the world. Like nothing could bother her.

"What the Hell was that! That thing nearly bit off your midriff, dumb bitch! And don't you go stealing my ambitions!"

Of course, it was taken away shortly after.

"What are you getting at, cock-head! It's a totally common goal when ya think about it! And it was you who was going to get killed, jackass!"

"Then why'd you jump like that! Huh!"

"'Cause then you would've gotten blood everywhere and the teacher would have made us clean it up! Like Hell that I wanna clean your blood!"

"You take that back!"

"Make me!"

And as the two were being pulled away from straggling it each other. Yukiko eased her finger on her pistol's trigger, making sure she was hidden so well that her sister couldn't see her. She smiled slightly at her twin before frowning the slightest.

'Satan's power may be much further than you expect. Lets see if you can wait longer, Sir Mephisto Pheles.'

Speaking of the purple-haired demon, it was late at night where he was. He was standing on a yet-to-be-finished sky scraper in True Cross Campus Town, clad in his usual clothing and waiting for someone. His ear twitched when he heard the soft landing of feet and he turned to his guest, a grin coming to his lips.

A girl appeared before him. A very a odd looking one at that. She was seventeen with the palest skin anyone could have. Her hair was in two mixes of forest-green and yellow green, an odd spike forming on the back of her head, curved until the tip of it touched the top of her head. Here eyes were a fathomless-blue and her ears were elfin like Mephisto's. She wore a jacket that had cross bones as the buttons. She also wore a pair of green arm warmers and a black and pink short sleeved shirt under her jacket. Her brown skirt reached her knees along with her brown tights, her feet ending with dark brown boots. The leash she held a collared Hobgoblin, it's coat in a light green. It gave light noises as it snuffed the single beam floor.

"My apologies for my lateness, Aniue(3)." said the girl, giving a slight bow with her head, a look of indifference set on her face. Mephisto's grin morphed into a smirk, showing her two rows of demotic teeth.

"Ah, it has been a while, Imouto(4). I see you have been doing well, Anima. How are you, darling Earth Queen?" he asked, taking a few steps till he was an inch away from the green-haired girl, towering over her.

"I have been well." she said calmly, lightly swaying the brown leash in her hands and looking up at her older, half-brother. From their appearances, you would have guessed they were complete strangers.

"I see. So, has father accepted my proposal?" he asked. Anima nodded before looking to the city before them, feeling the wind ruffle her spike.

"He says he accepts your proposal." she said, giving the leash a slight tug as her Hobgoblin gave a sort of yip at some nearby birds. Mephisto's look turned more sinister.

"Ah, splendid. And if you can, Imouto. Please tell father that I am taking very good care of our younger sister, Rin Okumura. I would say Yukiko as well, but she seems to be taking care of herself just fine." he said. Anima nodded and she shoved her hands in her pocket, taking a small step forward.

"Aniue… Will you be returning home soon?" she asked, her eyes casting a lovely glow by the city lights. The chairman smiled lazily and he stroked his half-sister's cheek. This little crush she had on him was interesting. He knew for a very long time that despite how stone-faced she acted, Anima still had emotions. And he didn't feel disgusted by these feelings. Quite the opposite. He thought it was adorable in it's own way. A puppy-love, if you will. And they were only half siblings, so it was almost like they weren't related at all.

"Do you miss me, Anima-chan?" he asked, narrowing his eyes and trying to see a blush on the pale girl's cheeks. Yet, as always with their encounters, nothing of the sort came. It was only the slightest lifted corner of the lips. A very small smile.

"Perhaps. That, and I miss the sweets you make me." she said gently. The older male laughed and nodded, reaching into his coat pocket and pulling out a bag of freshly made chocolate. He was prepared for anything. He handed the bag to the blue-eyed teen.

"There. I think those should keep you steady. No go on. Father will get furious if you do not return soon." he said, sneaking a small kiss on Anima's forehead. The younger nodded and the small smile was gone, her mask of non-emotion appearing again.

"Of course. Goodnight, Aniue."

"To you as well, Imouto."

With that, the young girl was gone and the older demon was left to himself. He smiled down at the city, seeing it as his own personal toy box.

"Nah! Did we have to get up so early, Yuki?" asked Rin the next day as she, Yukiko, and Shiemi walked into class the next day. The black-haired girl felt tired from not getting much sleep last night and it was slowly coming back to her. When she got to her seat, she was surprised to see Bon was waiting there, arms crossed against his chest and a irritated look on his face.

"Now what? You wanna go Hobgoblin Hunting and see who can catch the most without losing a limb?" asked Rin, giving a weak laugh as she slouched in her chair, bangs falling across her eyes. Bon gave a cough and eyed the floor.

"Listen… I didn't get to say this yesterday, but… thanks. Here," he reached into his pocket and he pulled out a silver-colored bobby pin. Rin took it and looked at it, while Bon looked away with a blush on his cheeks.

"I use to use this to keep my hair out of my eyes when I'm studyin' at night. It looks like you need it more than me. Here," he walked to the girl's side, took the strands of Rin's bangs with shaky hands, and pinned the hairs in place. Rin blinked and looked around, seeing that her hair was staying in place. Bon was looking more flustered. He had to admit that Rin's hair was incredibly soft.

"That's… kind of creepy that you have this." said Rin, nodding to herself.

"Hey-!"

"But, it's helping me out a lot, too. I can finally see without holding my bangs with my hand! Thanks, Bon!" said Rin, smiling happily. Bon looked away, mumbling to himself with a small smile on his face. He then remembered something.

"Who said you could call me 'Bon!' It Suguro-san or -kun, damn it!"
