I would like to apologize for hardly any uploads last week, but school got canceled a TON last week and it's supposed to be canceled a lot next week too. I love snow. Anyway, no school would've been fine…if my brain wasn't in a nostalgic mood. I grew up watching one of those silly little animes (like Pokemon or Digimon) and had a DS game from the series that I got probably a decade ago and I was in the nostalgic mood so I reset the game and replayed the story mode for memories sake.

Rin: You done?

NM: What? I wanted to relive my childhood!

Rin: So, are you going to write now?

NM: Yeah, why not?

Okay, so today's idea comes from Bittersweet Alchemist! Be sure to leave your ideas in the reviews for a chance to get featured! Hope you like it!

Gym class.

Some love it, some hate it, but for Rin, it's just another obstacle in the way of his journey to become an exorcist. There was also the problem that they were required to take showers after class and it wasn't an easy job explaining why you had a tail so most days Rin would wait until everyone had left to take a shower. However, the Kyoto trio and they desperately wanted to understand the enigma that is Rin Okumura. When gym had finished up they decided to follow Rin into the locker room. Rin looked around like he was hiding something and then got ready to take a shower.

(AN: Skipping the awkward part…)

The Kyoto trio watched Rin get in the shower and realized why he always waited.

Rin had a tail.

Shima dropped his bag in shock and Rin heard it hit the floor. He swiftly grabbed his towel and covered himself.

"Hello?" He asked. Looking around he finally noticed the people watching. They came out from hiding and stared. This went on for a few seconds until Rin finally spoke.

"Let me finish here and I'll tell you later." He said and they nodded and walked upstairs. When they got upstairs they saw Yukio.

"Have you guys seen Rin?" Yukio asked. "He was supposed to be at the cram school five minutes ago, then again, so were you."

Is that why Rin is late every day?

"Um…Yukio…this is kind of a personal question and you don't have to answer it, but is Rin human?" Yukio seemed startled by Shima's question, as if he had seen it coming.

"So, how did you find out?" Yukio asked as his older brother walked out of the locker room.

"I'm assuming that you want answers." Rin said. "Yukio, what are you doing here?"

"I came here because you were late, again."

"Well, I'd like to see you get showered after gym while trying to hide a tail. Anyway, you can ask anything. It's not really a secret anymore." Yukio looked surprised at his brother.

"So you really got found out…you're an idiot."

"Hey! I tried to keep it a secret! You can't say I didn't try!"

"So…you're not human." Shima said. The brothers stopped bickering and looked at the pink haired boy.

"I guess that's kind of obvious at this point." Rin paused. "No, no I'm not." The black tail that just destroyed his secret revealed itself and began swaying back and forth. The three stared at the mysterious object silently as if mesmerized by it. It rocked back and forth with a sense of rhythm. There were a few seconds of silence when someone broke it.

"You do know you're all late to class?" Yukio said.

After a mad dash to the cram school…

Yukio walked in the room and apologized for being fifteen minutes late and then proceeded to yell at the Kyoto trio for being late. Following them in was Rin, but it wasn't a surprise, he was always late. However when he was walking in Yukio looked like he was going to have a heart attack and was signaling him to stop or something. Rin, being the idiot he is, didn't notice. He waltzed right into a bad situation.

"Rin, you have a tail!" Shemi shouted. It was at this moment that Rin got really pissed at himself for being such an idiot. He got really mad and, without noticing, burst into flames. Yukio ran over to his brother.

"Calm down, you didn't mean to show everyone." He said and the flames disappeared. His classmates calmed down a little bit, but put yourself in their shoes. Your friend just walked in the room with a tail and then burst into blue flames. Not exactly the idea of a normal in anyone's mind. Rin sighed and his tail drooped.

"Well, isn't this just a lovely day?"

Well I hope you liked it! I had a TON of writer's block when writing this and worked REALLY hard to get this done for you guys!

Rin: Did it HAVE to have a shower scene?

NM: That was the only place I could've put it and I tried to avoid the awkwardness as much as possible

Rin: But, still, a shower scene?
NM: I hate fan service as much as the next action-loving, female viewer, why do you think I hated Free?

Anyway, if you've been reading these author's notes you'll notice a reoccurring trend of me talking about building robots to enslave humanity. Well, there is a purpose to that. I'm in this club thing and we have to present our robot and do a required task with it. This time it is staking recycling bins (of doom!) Anyway, that compotation is this week and I will be unable to upload anything this Thursday or Friday but will be back (hopefully) on Monday after I enslave humanity with the power of the recycle bin stacking robot of doom! I watched some Invader Zim recently if you can't tell….that about covers everything, so leave some ideas in the reviews below and see you next time! Bye!
