I pray to God That I don't mess up here. So far this has been my most successful story, so I want to make this a really good and entertaining story. I would like to thank Blink 182rlz (good name, bro. I love Blink.), starbringer101, and TrinaDauntless648 for their positive feedback. I would also like to thank those who favorited and followed. It means a lot to me. So here we are, the second chapter!

When they returned to the academy, Rin shuffled his tired feet toward his bed, before plopping down face first into his pillow. Kuro hopped onto his master's back, and pawed at his head. "Rin," the demon cat said softly. "Get up." Rin muttered something into his pillow, burying his head into it deeper. Kuro narrowed his eyes, and brought his claws. He lightly scratched Rin's neck, causing the boy to shoot up like a rocket, sending Kuro flying helplessly across the room. Yukio looked up from his book, watching the scene in amusement.

"No time for sleep, Rin," he chuckled. His voice grew serious. "We need to figure out what that assassin wanted from you."

"I thought we already clarified that," Rin complained. "The assassin wanted to take me to his master, right?"

Yukio sighed. "But why does his master, whoever he is, want you?" Yukio slightly raised his voice. "We need to figure this thing out, Rin."

Rin scoffed, sinking back into his bed. "I agree with you," he said. "But can we worry about this tomorrow? It has been a long day and I want to take a nap." He threw the covers over him, and turned around, facing the wall. Yukio sighed. Why did his brother have to be so stubborn (answer: because he's Batman!)? Was he even aware of the danger he could possibly be in? Yukio looked at his brother's almost sleeping form. Why did he refuse to let Yukio protect him? Before he could ponder his thoughts any longer, a familiar cloud of pink smoke appeared in front of him. The smoke disappeared, revealing the one, the only, Mephisto. (Oh shit.)

Rin looked out from under his blanket, and scowled. "What do you want, clown?" He muttered in a grumpy way. Mephisto grinned. He sat himself on Yukio's bed, facing the twins.

"I'm just here to visit my favorite students." Mephisto said in a cheerful voice. He looked at Kuro, who was sitting on the floor a few feet away. He smiled and waved at the cat (Houston, we have a cat perv.), who stared blankly back. Mephisto returned his gaze to the Okumura brothers. "I heard about your little encounter today, Rin," he said, growing serious. "We are currently investigating the situation, but so far no answers have surfaced." Mephisto paused. He then continued to speak. "But from what witnesses were saying, the assassin appears to be what is called a 'servant demon'."

"A what?" Rin asked blankly. Yukio sighed, and turned to his brother.

"It's a rare demon-type," he stated. "They don't possess anything, and they are only active when they are serving under a master. Their purpose could range from simply doing dishes to assassinating world leaders."

"The master must also be pretty powerful when it comes to the mind," Mephisto said, taking up the story. "Which is why having a human master is rare. It's most likely a demon that wants you, Rin." Rin sighed. Of course a demon was after him. Of fucking course. Mephisto's voice suddenly grew cheery again.

"But on the lighter side," Mephisto handed Yukio a flyer. "We have a special event coming up, and I expect both of you to be there." Yukio and Rin lookecd at the flyer, and all the color drained from their faces. Mephisto observed the twins' faces, and chuckled to himself. He stood up, straightening his coat. "I must take my leave now," he announced. Then he put on a stylish pair of shades that he just so happened to have. "I'll be back." He said in weird accent. He then disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Silence.

The twins looked at each other, and then back at the flyer. "First annual True Cross Academy Spring Dance next week! Date is mandatory!" It read. They looked at one another again, their faces even paler (Legend of the Pale Riders. In theaters July 21st.). Rin finally opened his mouth to speak.

"So are you gonna ask Shiemi to the dance?" Rin asked.

"Depends," Yukio countered. "Are you going to ask Izumo to the dance?"

"I'll ask if you ask."

Yukio shook Rin's hand. "Deal."

...

Rin and Ukobach were working together to create a soup recipe that Rin had found in the back of the kitchen. The name had been long forgotten, so Rin decided to call it "Izumo soup." (Oh God, why?) Shiemi was currently watching the two chefs. She smiled. "I think it's nice you named the soup after Izumo," she said. "it's a really sweet thing to do." Yukio and Shiemi were the only people who knew of Rin's feelings for Izumo. "Are you going to ask her to the dance?" She asked. Rin nodded. Shiemi smiled again, but looked down. 'I wonder if Yukio will ever ask me to the dance.' She thought to herself.

"It's done!" Rin announced. He got three bowls, and filled them with a delicious looking (and smelling) soup. He handed two to Shiemi and Ukobach, then took one for himself. The three sat down, and filled their spoons with the soup. Shiemi stuck the spoon in her mouth. She allowed the soup to linger in her mouth, before swallowing. She looked up at Rin, smiling gently. "Izumo will want to marry you when she tastes this." She joked. The two chuckled. Then they noticed Yukio enter.

Shiemi felt her face heat up as her crush entered the room. Her mind drifted off to fantasy land, but she shook those thoughts away (Shiemi, you perv!). Rin beamed at his brother. "Hey, Yukio," he said. "Get yourself some soup!"

...

Beelzebub glared down at the assassin. "Why did you fail to bring me the boy?" The assassin cast his eyes downward.

"There was another, my master," the assassin stated in his monotone voice. "I could not get to the young prince."

Beelzebub sighed heavily. He returned his glare to the assassin. "You will bring the boy to me tonight," he growled. "And if you fail, your punishment will be absolute."

The assassin nodded. Then he vanished into a puff of smoke.

I can't help but feel that this chapter is...incomplete in someway. I know that I got everything I wanted to say said, but still... Oh well. Did you guys catch the terminator reference? Don't forget to review. And remember, stay wykkyd! (I made a joke!)
