The rest of the car ride was quiet and quite frankly, awkward. Rin and I didn't speak not once after that, averting our gazes elsewhere. My eyes went to the window, watching the scenery pass and keeping my attentions away from the two other people in the limo. Mephisto may have been excited by our presence, but I didn't have the time nor energy to bother. After all, what were the Son of Satan and the Daughter of Sakura supposed to say to one another? Nice to meet you?

It wasn't like I was going to this school anyways to make friends and see other demons. I had a clear mission in mind: get revenge for my father and make sure True Cross Academy never came near me again.

Mephisto pulled out his phone shortly after the awkwardness settled, someone clearly trying to get his attention. He spoke in a low voice, so neither of us could hear the conversation taking place. Most likely it was the High Council making sure I was indeed coming to the Academy and I was who I said I was. I smiled thinking about them all scared, cringing in their seat as they read my qualifications and transcripts.

"Yes, don't worry we will be there shortly. I just had to stop and pick up something else on the way...Alright bye." He hung up the phone right as we pulled into some kind of parking area. I looked out my window to see True Cross Academy in all of its glory. It stood tall and proud as it always had, with large clusters of building surrounding it. No one was wandering around outside, which was a good thing considering I didn't want people staring at me...yet.

"Listen here you two..." I turned my head towards Mephisto, who had a very serious look on his face. Rin was paying attention too, leaning in a bit. Mephisto continued. "No one knows your identities. Rin, you know this already but I have to make it as clear as I can. Rin has the cover of being an exorcist, he's training right here on these grounds, so he has good cover. Not to mention his brother is a human so that makes it better." Brother? My eyes widened at the thought of two sons of Satan. Hopefully they wouldn't be a problem. "Now, look Yuki, I don't want you to do anything that you don't want to but I'm afraid certain measures have to be taken to ensure your identity and protection. We had to place you in the exorcist classes, just for appearances."

I instantly recoiled. "You can't do that! It completely goes against everything I stand for. I refuse to cause any more harm than these exorcists have done." I spat, crossing my arms. Rin looked over at me, surprise written all over his face. I just glared ahead, addressing him. "What? You'd be surprised not every half-breed and human out there wants to join in and kill a bunch of demons, most of them harmless."

"Harmless? You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Tch." Rin scoffed back. I sat up, getting ready to shoot some smart comments but Mephisto interrupted before the conversation took a deadly turn. "Now now you two. I know you both have different views on the situation but that's not important. You just have to make sure your true identities don't come out and get yourselves killed. Now Yuki, its not ideal but I've arranged it so you can back out of whatever physical training you want to. Most of the classes don't even require going out and dealing with actual demons, just the basic book stuff, which you know. Perfect cover. Just put up with it until all that's done is done alright?" He gave me a look, clearly trying to hide my agenda from Rin, who looked very curious.

I sighed. There was no point in fighting it. I couldn't bring attention to myself this early in the game. "Fine. But just so you know, I will make sure o finish this all up quickly so I can go home as soon as possible." Mephisto nodded in understanding.

"Of course. I didn't expect anything less. You are your father's daughter." I smiled at that.

"Now come on you two, we have to get you to your dorms and I have to get Yuki set up." With that, we exited the limo just as the bell rang. Great.

Rin wen ahead of us, even though we were going in the same direction. I nodded in his path. "What's his problem?"

Mephisto sighed. "Rin is a hot head, especially on matters he's passionate about. Being an exorcist is one of them. You see, before he knew he was the son of Satan, he had a hard time fitting in. He was so angry all the time, getting into fights and just plain violent. He lived with a monk of sorts who ran a monastery similar to your own, and he was friends with Rin's mother before she passed on. Anyways, he raised them like his own. They had their good and bad times but always came back together in the end." He smiled a bit as we passed a group of students. They stared and whispered among themselves. I ignored them, listening to Mephisto instead.

"What happened?" I asked gently. He frowned.

"One day Rin started seeing them, the demons. Low class, relatively harmless. That is, until a higher class took the body of a human and attempted to bring him back to Gehenna, even though Rin's demon form was still sealed away at the time. He managed to escape, breaking through some of the seals and returning to the monastery. There, his father tried to protect him but Satan was able to detect his aura and tracked him down. During a moment of weakness, his father let his guard down and Satan was able to possess him."

"That's impossible. Any host would give out before he could even open his mouth." I replied, not believing him for a moment.

"Well, Rin's father wasn't just another monk. He was Paladin of True Cross Academy, Shiro Fujimoto." My eyes widened.

"He's the one that took my father's place after he died." I whispered. Mephisto nodded, continuing his story.

"That he did. Anyways, he was able to possess him for a short amount of time and opening up the Gate, trying to take Rin with him. But Rin decided to save him and his father buy releasing the seal on his sword he always carries around, revealing his demon form. Sadly it was too late by the time he closed the Gate, as when Satan left Shiro's body, he killed him. And so, Rin vowed to kill Satan as vengeance."

I was in shock. The fact that our stories were more similar than I first imagined was beyond me. "That's...interesting actually. I never expected to meet someone with the same ambition as I. But we are clearly playing for two different sides so to speak."

Mephisto nodded. "Yes. Rin won't like nor understand that. But what's important to know is that he will try to stop you if he feels as though you're jeopardizing him, his mission, his brother or any of his friends. Basically, he will try to stop you if he finds out what you're up to."

I waved him off. "He won't trust me. Sure he knows I'm not all up for killing demons and he's probably curious as to why I'm here, but he'll never catch on. All my investigating will take place right under their noses, they won't even know what hit them." I smiled.

"You are certainly going to make this place a lot more entertaining aren't you?"

I laughed. "I can definitely try Mephisto, I can try."

**Okay, sorry for the long wait! I just graduated high school and have been dedicating most of my time to that right now. But since it's summer I will try to update more often and get this story rolling. Next chapter should start some good stuff, even a fighting scene!
