Hello guys! Back with a new chapter! After this one, I think, there will be questions answered. So, dear Christmasloot, yes, all will be revealed. : )
So, without any more stalling, on with the story.
I do not own Blue Exorcist.
Heaven Hears No Angel
Chapter 3
Rin p.o.v.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I overslept! I run fast while trying to put my uniform on. And by trying I mean, it's hard to run and get dressed at the same time. I get to the kitchen in our dorm to see Yukio finishing his breakfast.
"Why didn't you wake me up, Yukio!?" "I tried three times, but you didn't wake up, so I thought you must be tired and let you sleep."
"Don't put on that kind brother act! Just try four times from tomorrow on!" I say, finally dressed, siting on my chair.
"I'm digging in!" I say as I stomp my head with food. I have to eat quickly!
"You're gobbling."
"We're running a marathon in 3rd period, I need to eat or I'll die!"
He looks at me then stands up. "I'll be going then. Clean up after you're done eating." "You're not my mother!" I say with my mouth full and continue to eat. I'm done pretty quick, so I leave my plate at the kitchen bar, thank for the meal, and leave.
In the name of all the manga, the prices in the cafeteria are too damn high! I'm on my way to talk with Mephisto about it, but as soon as I open the door, my mind gets side tract. Right there, in the clown's office, sits Gabriela, on his work desk, with her usual white jacked unbuttoned, showing her black shirt, and a nice view. She waves me hello, and I wave back, but then Yukio steps in front of me.
"My brother has something to ask of you." Eh, what, wait, me!?
"What is it Rin?" Gabriela asks in a concerned voice.
"Well, I wanted to…" I say while scratching my head. Wait, this is serious, I can't think about boobs now! "I wanted to ask you to lower the prices in the cafeteria!" I say, with more determination in my voice.
"Lover the prices in the cafeteria?" Mephisto repeats my request.
"That's not possible. To provide first class meals, we provide first class ingredients and hire first class chefs."
"Why does the cafeteria have to be first class?!" I ask, a little angry
"Food is culture. Experiencing first class makes your life fuller."
He says, then grabs a microwave ramen cup, and starts eating. Food is culture, says he and then goes and eats instant ramen.
"Oh, you hypocrite." Gabriela says. Mephisto looks at her, still sitting on his desk, and offers her his noodles. "Since when do you share?" She says, to what he simply withdraws his hand and continues eating.
"Then at least give me money for living expenses!" I yell at him
He stops eating and looks at me. "How could I totally forget about that?" He says, to what Gabriela lets out a small giggle. A cute one, I might add. "Even the son of Satan has needs." He says and pulls out a… "A 2000 yen bill!" "The mysterious bill, thought only to exist in legends!" Yukio adds. Oh man, wow! With this I could buy 10 sandwiches!
"Is it okay if I pay that every month of the 10th?"
"Every month? You mean this is for one month?" I ask in disbelieve. "Indeed."
"And I'm supposed to live on that, you idiot?!" He can't be serious! "Oh, you are dissatisfied? Then how about a 100 yen bill?" I will slice this guy! I reach to open my kurikara, but Yukio's hands hold me back.
"Calm down, Rin." Gabriela says, finnaly standing up. "Let's leave this cheap goat alone." She says, as we walk out, Mephisto yelling at her "Who are you calling a cheap goat!?" "You." She says while pointing a finger at him, and then closing the door.
"Yukio, can you be satisfied with 2000 yen a month?" I ask him as we're walking down the hallway
"I work as a teacher, and I get my exorcist salary as well."
"You traitor!"
"Hold on. There is a way to keep you from starving to death." He says. I look at him confused. I notice now Gabriela is looking at him too. She was avoiding his gaze ever since we entered Mephisto's office.
"Cook for myself?" I ask as we're walking through the supermarket. Gabriela is still following us, listening to our conversations.
"I'll pay for the ingredients." Yukio explains, walking in front of us. "You can make lunch for both of us. That way I'll save some money and you won't have trouble with lunch either." Gabriela and I look at each other than back at Yukio. "After all, cooking is one of the few things you're good at!" Yukio states.
"NO WAY!" Gabriela says dramatically! "Are you doubting me?" I ask her.
"Oh, but wait, where can I cook? There is no kitchen in our room." I ask Yukio.
"You can use the dorm kitchen. It's just us three in the dorm anyway." Gabriela says, ignoring Yukio who tried to answer as well. I see Yukio sigh then nod in agreement. Just what is it with these two?
Gabriela p.o.v.
I sit at the kitchen desk and stare at this person called Rin. He is seriously cooking! And enjoying it! I can't believe it! I can't do half of the shit he's doing! And the other half that he's doing I don't even understand!
"You wanna join?"
"Eh, no." I just state bluntly.
"Why not?" He turns around and I smile at the sight of him in an apron.
"Because I suck at cooking. Literally. You don't want me near the stove."
"Well, you can pass the salt."
I stand up from my sitting place and go and reach the cup.
"Why are you doing this so late?" I hand him the salt.
"I make the side dishes the previous night and then put them in the fridge."
"Oh."
"Gabriela."
"Yes?"
"This is sugar."
"UPS! I told you I was bad at it!" "Hahaha You really do suck at cooking! Big time!" He laughs at me. How could I mistake sugar for salt? I AM and idiot!
"Btw, Yukio is asleep?" I ask, trying to change the subject.
"Uh, yeah, why?" He asks, still fiddling around the kitchen and doing who knows what.
"No reason." Truth is I don't want that man coming anywhere near me. I sit back on the kitchen desk, take my notebook and continue writing.
"Yukio has these three girls that made lunch for him today. I was a little jealous."
"Really?" I'm really not interested in Yukio's love life, but I'm sad Rin was jealous. He shouldn't be.
"Yeah, but he declined them quickly."
"So, this way, if you're making his lunches, he will have an excuse to say no to those girls."
"You think?" I nod and continue scribbling in my notebook. There is some weird silence between us.
"Say, why were you with Mephisto this morning?" Rin asks suddenly, breaking the silence.
"Um, I just came back from my mission yesterday, and well… I just report to him that I was alive and well, I guess." I answer, a little insecure on what I'm saying. I don't really know if he's ready to know the truth.
"So you were on an exorcist mission? Like a real one?" He asks with sparkles in his eyes.
"Um, yes." I answer nervously
"Can I go with you on your next one?" He asks, a little pushy.
"Hmmm…." Well, I'm not sure. He actually could. It would be good for him to let of some steam. But, he doesn't know yet… About me, and what I am.
"Tell ya what. You can go with me on my next mission. But first you will have to go with me somewhere else. There's something that I have to show you. Okay?"
"Right! Awesome! Now back to cooking!"
I wonder how he will accept me. After he finds out. The thought is a little depressing. And scary.
"Do you wanna learn how to cook?" I look up and see Rin handing me an apron.
I take it, a little insecure. "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean teach me how to cook?"
"Well, I can try!"
I take the apron and put it on me.
"Okay then. Good luck teach!"
Phew, it's already 2 hours pass midnight! Hooka came down to check on us, but never really entered the kitchen. I guess the sight of me in an apron scared him. Rin put the lunches in the fridge and closed it. He turns quickly and cuts his hand at the knife that I was just about to put away.
"Ah crap." He says
"Wait, let me heal it."
I grab his cut hand but he starts hissing.
"It hurts!"
I let go of his hand and see a burnt wound where I was trying to heal him.
"Oh, I'm so sorry Rin… I guess my powers won't work on you." I say in a low voice, looking at the floor. How could I have been so stupid! I am the complete opposite of him! My powers would only hurt him more!
"It's okay, no need to apologize, you were just trying to help!" Rin says nervously. I wonder how he doesn't question what I just did to him…
"Gabriela look."
I look at his wound and it's almost gone. It must be his powers as the son of Satan.
"You're okay!" I say, full of glee
"Darn, it's late! We have to go."
"Okay, race you up!"
I woke up a little earlier. I was actually able to sleep. Who would have guessed that learning how to cook could be so exhausting? Well, I guess I'll go down to the kitchen, maybe Rin is awake.
I walk down when I hear someone talking.
"I understand the reasons, but what the hell is this?" Ugh, Yukio's voice this early in the morning…
"Special Imp Oatmeal a la Mephisto."
Is he serious? I start giggling. No way is he making them eat his cooking
"Go, dig in." He says. Yea yea yea
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I say and Yukio turns to look at me.
While he did that, Rin obviously didn't hear me and swallowed the whole thing up. He makes some weird noise and then collapses. I ran to him, and Yukio held him. I just couldn't stop laughing.
"Big Brother, hold on!"
"Grandma is calling me…"
"We haven't even met our grandma!"
"Rin, if you see a tunnel, don't go to the light!" I say
"Reasons aside, misbehavior of the familiar is the misbehavior of the master." Mephisto says while crossing his arms in front of him. "Therefore, I will be taking care of your meals until Ukobach recovers his mood."
"And if it doesn't?" Yukio asks while I try to get Rin back to his senses.
"Then I will be your cook forever."
"Rin, you better wake up and make things right." I say to him. No way am I eating Mephisto's cooking. I did that three times: first time, last time and never again.
"Ukobach-sukoback…. I don't care… I'll exterminate it…" Rin mumbles in his trance.
"You know, Beating it up won't exactly help…" I say, a sweat drop on my face.
Rin p.o.v.
"How about this? Everything's cleaned up and the way it used to be." I say, talking to no one. "Just cheer up already!"
Actually I hope this Ukobach can hear me. Gabriela stands and looks at me. She looks sexy in her long sleeved red shirt and black skinny jeans. She and I have been cleaning the kitchen the whole afternoon. I noticed that there are bandages on her wrists, but she tried to hide them, so I didn't ask.
"There's a storm forming outside." She says.
She turns to look outside the window and suddenly a fork passes my face.
"What? Are you still mad? What the hell is your problem?" I guess Ukobach heard me.
All sorts of dishes start flying at me and I defend myself with my hands.
"What the hell? If you don't wanna work, then get lost already! You're not the only one here who can cook!"
"Rin, don't anger him even more." Gabriela says softly.
Thunder. And there he was. The little kitchen demon called Ukobach. I grinned.
"You finnaly showed up."
Oh man… I'm done! Yukio runs into the room just as I fall down, but I feel two hands catch me before I hit the ground. Yukio asks what happened. Mephisto claps.
"They had a frantic duel." I hear him simply state. "Using all their skills and strength." He states proudly.
I feel Hooka licking my hand. Man, I can't move…
"A cooking battle?" Yukio asks. I open my eyes, but the only thing I see is Gabriela's red shirt. She puts my head on her lap. That feels good.
"They've matched the bet of their abilities against each other, thus giving birth to a new friendship!" Mephisto pronounces.
"That fried rice was damn good." I say to Ukobach, who lays on the kitchen table. I hear him respond.
"You say my pork and rice isn't bad either?" This guy is cool! I have an idea!
I get up from Gabriela's lap, looking her in the eyes, to what she just nodded. Like she knew what I had in mind.
"Let's make the ultimate lunch! I'm sure we can do it together!" I say as Ukobach and I shake hands.
"Mind if I watch?" We look at Gabriela who's just smiling softly with hopeful eyes. I look back at Ukobach, and we both give her thumbs up.
The next day, I stand behind a tree and watch Yukio tell the three girls that it was me, his big brother, who made his lunch. That's it Yukio, impress them with my cooking skills! That way, they will be going after me! I can already imagine it! I will be popular with girls!
"That's your brother over there?" I hear one of the girls say. "There's no way he could cook like that." One of them states bluntly.
AAAAAAAAAAARH! Right where it hurts!
Walking home, I see Shiemi standing in front of the dorm.
"Hey Shiemi! What're you doing here?"
"Um, well, I…"
"Oh Shiemi! What are you doing here?" Yukio calls from the window.
"The malachites arrived, so I brought you your order!" She answers cheerfully. Did I see her blush when she saw him?
"Sorry for the trouble. Would you like some tea?" He asks from the window.
"Umm, I don't know." I get her hand. "Come on, it'll be fun." I lead her in. I wonder if Gabriela's home…
"A familiar?" Shiemi asks as we explain about Ukobach. That reminds me, I still don't really know what a familiar is.. Well, that aside.
"He's our dorms cook." Yukio explains, as we watch Ukobach do his work.
"He made the tea as well."
She drinks some of the tea, and then thanks Ukobach healthfully.
"Oh, it's late, I should get going." Shiemi states, looking out through the window. "Don't worry, I have the magic key connecting to the shop." Yukio pulls out his pack of magic keys.
They walk off and Ukobach and I wave them goodbye. Just in that moment, Hooka runs through the kitchen like a bolt, following is a very tired looking Gabriela.
"Uh… Hi." She waves us and lean on the wall, then sits on the floor. "I'm done!" She exhales.
"What happened to you?" I ask, Ukobach walking to her. She pets his head softly. Oh, she's wearing her work uniform again. White pants with chains hanging from them, a black top, and the white jacket with the exorcist pin on her shoulder.
"It's that time in the month."
"Say what?!"
"The time when Hooka gets washed, Rin." She states, correcting my dirty mind.
I start to laugh thinking what it must have been like to wash him. "What, you wanna do it next time?"
"No, thank you."
"Did you hear that?" Gabriela asks as we both get up from where we fell asleep on her floor. The TV is still on from when we were watching movies. We must have fallen asleep while watching.
I just nod my head in agreement. I heard some screams that awoke me too. I grab my Kurikara as we exit the room.
We run down and meet Yukio half way. We bust into the kitchen to see Ukobach in his full form standing in front of the stove.
"Ukobach? Is that you?" I try calling out to him.
All I get is an angry scream as an answer.
We look into the pot and…
"Oi, that's…"
"Those are my classmates. I don't want to think about it, but I think I know what happened here." Yukio says while facepalming.
"Way to bring your trouble home Yukio." Gabriela says while crossing her arms
"Me? Don't you tell me—And what were the two of you even doing together this late?"
My sexy thoughts and their quarrel are stopped by Ukobach turning on the fire under the pot. He starts adding salt and pepper.
"He started stewing them."
"No. He's making the most elementary mistakes. To think that he must have forgotten the basics… Oi, oi! What are you trying to make!?"
I try calling out to him, but he kicks me back so hard, I slam into the cupboard.
Yukio pulls out his gun but I stop him. I have to protect Gabriela. She didn't bring her knuckle duster.
"Ukobach, didn't you say that… If someone eats your cooking, and says it's delicious… That's enough for you…"
He stops and listens.
I remember the time when I first tried cooking. It wasn't really good, and the other priests hated it .Just when I was about to throw it away, Father Fujimoto came and ate it. I was so shocked. Of course, he spit a little of it out, but he told me to keep trying.
"We cook because we want to make someone happy when they eat it. We're happy if someone says that it's good. That's why I like to cook, why I want to cook. Who would call that thing that you're making good?!"
Ukobach yells and turns of the flame.
"Why… Why won't you eat it?"
"Ukobach spoke?" Yukio states, surprised.
"No Yukio." Gabriela spoke in a calm voice. "It's the girls. Listen."
"Even dough I made it for you…"
"I wanted you to eat it Yukio…"
"I see… Their chagrin drove Ukobach wild." Yukio says, a little calmer now. I turn and look at him. "So it's all your fault!" I say and smack him over the head.
"Eat it! All the lunches those girls made for you!" I give him their lunches.
"Oh, I will enjoy this." Gabriela laughs
"Why me?" Yukio says while a black gloom surrounds him.
Gabriela p.o.v.
"I'm still surprised you ate all of it. But anyway, I'm just calling you to tell you that you owe me for cleaning up your mess." I talk with Yukio on the phone. My tone is cold, and what else would it be when I'm talking to this guy?
"And their memories?" I sigh. "I erased them and they are attending school normally." I hang up. There's no way I'm visiting him.
Thanks to Rin, Ukobach cheered up. It'll be fun watching them all. And maybe I'll get better. With your help Rin, maybe I won't have to take the medicine to take the pain away. I used my powers and I don't feel any side effects.
I watch Rin and Ukobach make some lunch with a lot of meat.
"What is that?"
"It's a big stamina meal for Yukio, so he will get better soon!" Rin says proudly.
"Uh, I'm sure he will be happy about that." I feel a sweat drop. This boy is awesome.
There it is! I hope it's a good one! Tell me what you think
