Ok, I should have updated this on Saturday, but I had written just one POV until yesterday, so today I'm posting this chapter. For the same reason, the chapter end up getting shorter than the last one, but I promise that the next will be longer and much more interesting.

[Mitsuko's POV]

That day I walked up early. The first thing that I did was check if Belbel was under my bed, and he wasn't. Now that I thought about it, yesterday he wasn't already in the room. Instead of finding him, I met Sumiko, my roommate, and that's probably why Belbel left. I looked at the window, which was open. The sky was a mix of dark and sapphire blue with some orange tones. And then I listened a yawn coming from the opposite bed.

''How long are you awaked?''. That was Sumiko. Yesterday, when I first talked with her, I introduced myself with Asako's surname, not just because I can't remember my own, but it would also be safer. I don't know exactly of what I'm afraid, but I got the feeling that the less I expose myself the better.

''Some minutes''.

''Ok... Let's go have breakfast then''. We got dressed and headed the cafeteria, and talked while walking.

''So you come from the north island?'', Sumiko asked me curiously.

''Yes, I lived with my aunt in a small town''

''And why did you come here?''

I took a bit to think about it. What should I say? ''I came here to search for someone''

''Who?''

''My brothers'', I said with no hesitation, after all, I reached the conclusion that I don't have to hide this from her, it wouldn't make much difference. She didn't say nothing immediately, she looks like thinking about my answer, and before could say something, we arrived in the cafeteria, which had a giant line.

''Kidding me''

''It's always like this'', said Sumiko while shrugging, back to her cheerful self.

[Mitsuko's POV]

I was walking through the corridor, searching for my class room. I had already said goodbye to Sumiko after breakfast, 'cause we're in different classes, and now I'm by my own. I looked the numbers over the doors and saw the right one, and then had a quick look from the door. I enter and rush to a sit in the left side of the room, and then sit there.

Some people looked at me quickly, but I just tried to ignore them. A few minutes later I saw a navy blue haired boy entering the class, noticeably spacing out. He just seemed to come back to reality when stopped next to where I was sitting at, looking at me and blinking, and then just sat in front of me.

''Sorry, were you going to sit here?''

''No, don't worry about it'', he said while turning back to face me.

"So, you're Mitsuko, right?"

"Yes, I'm Watanabe Mitsuko... And you're Rin...''

"Yes, I'm Okumura Rin"

I blinked. I've already listened this surname. But after I could remember where, the teacher arrives, and the class begins.

[Mitsuko's POV]

After the class ends, I left with Rin. He was spacing out, again, so he didn't notice me staring at him. I looked at these strange features of his, and thought about the fact that he was carrying his katana, even if we were just having regular classes right now. And more, when I put both things together, I think that there is some kind of relation.

Remember that I already saw some people with the same pointed ears and fangs, and they all had something in common. They were, at least, half-demons.

I myself am a half-demon, and I'm also sealed in my sword, so I don't have any of these features. It's not Rin's case, so if he is really a half-demon, even if he was once sealed, don't looks like exactly that he is anymore...

Some flashes of the yesterday's battle popped up in my mind. He doesn't unsheathed the katana not even once. Maybe it still being some kind of seal...

I looked again at him, who was still spacing out. I got a bit curious, so asked: "You have been spacing out for a while already. What's up?"

"Really?", he asked, noticeably disturbed. "I'm... I'm thinking about my brother. He really seems to be hiding something from me lately. I'm a bit concerned about it".

It for sure surprised me, but what most concerned me wasn't the issue itself. At this point I started putting together the facts. He is probably a half-demon who has a brother and also frequents the cram school. But there is something remaining...

"Who is your brother?"

"Yukio"

My eyes widened. I didn't even consider Yukio. And him and Rin don't even are that similar...

But then I heard someone yelling "You're the one who should be aware of your weaknesses the most!". It was Suguro, while kicking Shima's leg.

"Hi guys, what's up?", asked Rin.

"We were talking about how terrible was the battle of yesterday", said Suguro, still a bit angry.

"I wonder who Takara-kun really is", said Konekomaru.

"His real name is Takara Nemu, his father is the president of the toy company 'Takara Hobby', and just so you know, he's a second-year student - one year above us", said Suguro. The immediately reaction of everybody was astonishment.

"So he's our senpai?", Rin and Shima wondered in disbelief.

"But... it's getting more and more confusing...", muttered Konekomaru.

"Sometimes, the more information you get the more it gets confusing", I said, for everybody's surprise.

"Anyway", started Konekomaro, breaking the atmosphere, "I wonder if the girls gonna be okay in today's mission".

Everyone slowly looked at me, and a heavy silence came up.

[Mitsuko's POV]

"Wow, what a beautiful toilet", said Shiemi.

The three of us were already in the bathroom, waiting for the boys, who went do something that Mephisto ordered. It was afternoon, so there weren't anyone else in the building besides us.

"Ssh, look", said Kamiki, looking at a amount of Coal Tar.

"Sorry for the wait". We all turned to see that the boys had arrived, and were behind a wall. "We will be standing here in the case of something happens, so good luck", continued Yukio.

"...All right"

"Let's check the stalls then", I said.

Me and Shiemi were looking for the demon, while Izumo seemed to be a bit distracted. "Look, this is the only one which is locked", said Moriyama, catching our attention.

Then, for our surprise, she knocked at the door and just asked if there is someone in there. "Wait!", I started, but before could do something, a voice replied: "Yeees. I so hate you. Stop behaving like a ditz when you're totally not. Don't expect people to forgive you for everything just because you're cute".

"Eh?"

"Hmph... Dammit". And then Izumo just kicked the door. "Enough with the small talk!". But, as expected, there wasn't anyone in there anymore.

The room got suddenly darker, and I felt that the ghost was just behind us, and my suspects gotten confirmed when it started talking girly stuff.

"Both of you, stand back. Moriyama, get your green-man spirit to grow larger in case things take a bad turn". Then she spoke to her familiars, Uke and Mike, which she summoned before getting here. "The Tamayura no Harai! We're going with the full version, not the shortened one!". But they refused, which made Izumo get desperate.

"Kamiki-san!", Shiemi tried to warn her, but it was already late, and she got caught with the ghost's hair, right before Shiemi also being caught. Before it could reach me, I jumped, and after unsheathing my katana, slashed the wires, freeing them.

"Th-...Thanks", said Shiemi, while Kamiki looked astonished.

"I... I didn't know that swords would work against ghosts".

"Me neither, it was just a shot", I said, shrugging.

"Alright... So what we do now?"

"Ah!", said Shiemi, "Nii-chan, grow some uruchi and mochi rice plants!"

"Nii!". And then, a great amount of this grew of the green-man, which Shiemi cut off and offered to the harvest gods.

"Right now, these bundles of paddy is all I can offer, but please, lend us your power!.. You like rice, don't you...?", she said the last part with a gentle smile.

The demons didn't say anything, and before they could think better, a wire of hair curled up on her neck and pulled her back, where the demon ghost held her, as a hostage. It started hanging her, which made Nii-chan disappear in a cloud of smoke.

"Dammit! I can't even attack it while it's holding her like this"

"I guess we have no choice. We will help you for the sake of this girl. Hurry up and recite the prayer", said the harvest god to Izumo, for my relief.

While she was reciting, I heard the demon talking to Shiemi. "Let me tell you because you're such a poor thing. That girl doesn't think of you as her friend. Too bad for you. Ahaha, that's so funny, ahaha. Friends? Don't make me laugh"

And then, unlike my expectations, Shiemi got serious and said with determination: "I don't know anything about you, but you don't understand anything about me either. Disappear". And in this exact moment, Izumo finished the prayer, and the ghost started flickering with the demon's attack. Then Shieme fell in the ground, panting. "Thank you, Kamiki-san".

First she seemed to be astonished, but then looked down, and while clenching her fists, she said: "I won't say this again, so listen well. I'm the one who should be thanking you"

"...It's okey!"

"Shiemi! Izumo! Mitsuko! Well done, you three. That was excellent teamwork"

And then, all the boys came up full dressed as girls. I would never expect for this.

"Ahahaha! So that's what you guys were preparing... Ahaha!"

"I'm pretty cute, aren't I?"

"Eh?! Y-... Yeah. Nice and muscular!"

"Hahaha"

"You're laughing too much Izumo..."

"Okumura sensei really must've kept his feeling under control"

I looked at Yukio, who despite all the laughs was with a serious expression, which would be really funny in the situation, if wasn't the fact that he was pretty distance of what was happening right now. I wonder what is he thinking about...

Ok, I know that it wasn't really interesting, but in the next chapter I will put a Yukio's POV, and in this part he is thinking if he did end up inheriting or not the blue flames. Different from the manga, which just seems to be ignoring this issue by now, I will work on it. So, pleeeease review, I really want to know if I'm doing well.
