Disclaimer: how many times do I have to say it?
After they returned to True Cross and everyone retreated to their dorms, the Kyoto Trio started talking.
"Hey guys, wasn't Shiro Fujimoto the name of the previous paladin?" Konekomaru asked his friends (AN: Ok, I refuse to believe that, with how smart Konekomaru and Ryuji are, that they wouldn't know at least the name of the previous paladin. A person can't study exorcism and not know a few famous exorcists, you know?)
"Actually, I think it was..." Ryuji started, "Know what, I think you're right. The previous paladin was named Shiro Fujimoto"
"Are you trying to say the Okumura's were raised by the paladin?" Shima asked
"No, just that they have the same name, at least." Konekomaru said
"Didn't Moriyama-san ask if he was Okumura-sensei's father?" Konekomaru asked
"Well, yeah, but we already know he's their adoptive dad." Shima said
"Well, if she knew that, wouldn't that mean she had to have met him?" Konekomaru half-asked, half-pointed out.
"Maybe. Her family does own the exorcism supply shop." Ryuji stated
"Should we ask her if she knew him?" Konekomaru asked
"Does anyone have her number? I could ask" Shima volenteered
"Even if I had her number, I wouldn't give it to you" Ryuji said flatly
"You wound me!" Shima yelled, putting his hand in mock offense.
"Rin and Yuki-chan's dad?" Sheimi asked
"Yeah, have you met him?" Ryuji questioned
"Yes, he used to come by our shop to restock. He brought Yukio with him one time" she replied with a smile. She seemed to be recalling the memory.
"Do you..." Konekomaru ventured "have any idea how he..."
"Died?" Ryuji finished
"No. I heard about it from Yuki-chan" she said. "Why?"
"We want to know who he was" Ryuji replied
"And what happened to him" Konekomaru added
"You think Yukio would know?" Asked Shima
"Do you think I would know what?" Yukio asked, walking into the room.
"What, ummm..." Konekomaru started
"Happened to your father?" Ryuji finished. Yukio sighed.
"To tell the truth, I don't really know. All I know for sure is he was killed by Satan." Yukio explained. He left out the part about it being the night Rin discovered his heritage, and drawing the sword. "I don't know the details"
"Seriously? Does anyone know?" Shima asked, exasperated.
"Only one person was there the night he died" Yukio said.
"Who?" Ryuji asked
"Rin"
Ok, so, it's much shorter than the last one but, well, I wrote this pretty fast so I could get it to u guys. So yeah... Cliffhangerish ending again!
