Well, here you go, the second Chapie! Hope you like it!

Warning: Mephisto(that's all I have to say) oh and Yukio(it's always the silent ones).

Recap

/Rin paced back and forth in front of Mephistos' office door, waiting for the rest of the exwires to appear and for Mephisto to open the door. Yukio stood to the right of it wiping his glasses, while Shura leaned against the opposite wall, yawning. "That stupid clown-face, why the hell did he call us down here at 3:00 in the morning? Che!" Rin leaned up against the door and thought back to this morning…/

Rin scowled as he grumbled to him-self, complaining on how Shura had woken them up earlier.

It was now 3:36 AM, Yukio and Rin looked like they were about to slide down their respective back rests and fall asleep. Shura had returned shortly after waking up the other exwires and telling them to haul ass to the principals' office. She was now humming to her-self while sitting on the floor leaning against the wall. In reality, it suspiciously looked like she was nodding off.

Then Rin asked, "Hey, Yukio what time is it now?" Yukio glanced at his Ani and sighed, "You just asked that a minute ago Ni-san, as due to common sense, it is only a minute later then the last time you asked." Rin stood up straighter and puffed out his cheeks. "Che! Bastard, are you saying I'm stupid!" Yukio just shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. Shura softly snickered at both of them.

Immediately, both of them turned to Shura and scowled. Shura seeing their scrunched up faces snickered louder and stood up. Leaning casually against the opposite wall, she pointed her finger at Yukio.

"Well~ if yer talking about smart ones, then ya defiantly ain't one of them, scaredy-cat four eyes! Don't yer remember that one time ya got a Fift-?" Yukio slapped his hands over Shura's mouth and growled, "Don't you even dare!"

Rin ears perked up and he glommed Yukio so that his hands were ripped off of Shura's mouth and used to catch him-self before he fell over. Rin used this opportunity to tell Shura to go on with her story.

Yukio thumped his head against the floor and waited for the worst.

"Well~ yer see back when I first met yer dear little brother, he was just some ten-year old, snot-nosed brat at the True Cross Academy. Shiro, yer father, brought him to meet me. Of course, since he came, he brought some beer and we had a good time. But this kid over here," points at Yukio, "accidently drank some and couldn't hold his liquor, Nyaa~"

Yukio glared at Shura, "Thanks to Shura-san, I had a headache the next day and couldn't concentrate on a major test. Thanks to her, I ended up with a fifty-nine on it." With that he pushed Rin off his back, stood up and patted off the dust on his clothes.

Rin looked at Yukio, then at Shura, then back at Yukio and burst out laughing. Shura grinned and patted Rin on the back. "Yer see he ain't no super genius or nothin', just a regular old Joe who makes fifties on their final exams, Nyahahaha! ~"

*Bang*

A gun hole appeared to the left of Shura's head. She looked at it for a few seconds then put her hands on her hips, as she chortled, "What's the matter scaredy-cat four eyes? Ya can't hold yer liquor; can't handle yer brother, now ya can't even handle yer own guns? Do we need to get ya drug tested or something?"

Rin winced at the brother comment and looked at Shura in shock, then at his twin. A dark aura was filling the hall, so much that he took a step back and placed his hands in front of him as to protect him-self from any oncoming missiles that were to be aimed at Shura.

The bullets, however never came, because at that moment the door slammed open.

Straight into Rin's face.

Mephisto stepped out into the hall way to see what all the noise was about and saw both Yukio and Shura staring at him with huge eyes. Yukio pointed to something behind him and he swiveled around to look.

Only to see a pile of limbs on the ground. A few of them looked suspiciously like the rest of the exwires, but he was too groggy to be sure; he had just woken up from a light nap after all.

Then seeing Rin's black tail, he grimaced, "What on Assiah are you all doing down there on the floor? It's probable very unclean you know."

All he got for in return was a few groans and a couple of death glares.

Shrugging his shoulders, he twirled around, white cape behind him and motioned for them to come in. Like he didn't just create a massive pile up out of several living humans and one demon.

So, replay: The door smacked into Rin's face, sending him tumbling in circles, straight into the rest of the exwires; who had just rounded the corner. What happened next was sort of like a deranged game of pinball. First, Bon, who got the full force of Rin, then Konekomaru, who Bon stumbled into, who then toppled over Shima behind him, who in turn grasped Izumo, who was dragging Shiemi behind her. Causing her to trip Takara, who was talking to his puppet. Thus add up six exwires and one demonic knuckle head and you get a fruit salad of absurdity and all in the name of the Lord on high.

Back to the present:

"What the hell get off of me, idiot!"

"I'm trying; ow, don't step on my tail!"

"Sorry, Okumura-kun! Shima-san, please get off my glasses!"

"Haha, this is so troublesome."

"…"

"Ouch, watch it you big buffoon!"

"Izumo-chan, are you ok?"

"What did you just call me?"

"I said, get off you big brute!"

"Owwwwww! my tail, you freaking stepped on it, Shima!~"

"Sorry, sorry."

"You're all squishing my glasses!"

"Wahhh! Are you alright Rin?"

"WILL YA ALL SHUD' UP?" Shura grabbed Rin, lifted him off of Bon and tugged on Konekomaru's collar, while pushing Shima off of Izumo and detangling Shiemi from Takara. Finally, they were all free of the human contortionist knot and were able to breathe freely again.

Rin nursed his poor tail, while Bon patted him-self down. Konekomaru straightened his glasses and collar as Shima rubbed his head and offered his hand to Shiemi.

Izumo just huffed and walked towards the open door to Mephisto's office, nose in the air, muttering about "buffoons and brutes".

Takara examined his puppet to make sure it made it through intact and walked into the office. Shura watched all this and shook her head; she too walked away to the door.

Konekomaru followed as Shima entered and Shiemi patted Rin on the head, which was still holding his tail, and rushed in.

Bon grimaced and glancing at Rin, walked away, leaving Rin standing in the hall alone. At least, till his brother, Yukio thumped him on the head and lead him into the office, still holding his tail.

Everyone stood in a line in front of Mephisto's desk, even Shura. Yukio lead his brother to the far right next to her and positioned him, so that everyone present was lined up.

Mephisto yawned and laid his chin on top of his folded hands as he sat in his chair. Everyone eyed him warily, fully alert and not sleepy at all thanks to the commotion beforehand.

As Mephisto raked his eyes over them, he suddenly grinned, "Well, it seems everyone is here. Why don't we get this show on the road, hmm? ~" The group of exwires gulped and stood up straighter waiting for the principal of the True-Cross establishment to announce why the hell he called them there.

Mephisto scanned the room and landed his eyes on Okumura Rin. His grin widened as he remembered what he had planned for the exwires next assignment. He stood up and pointed at them. In a superior tone, with his cape flapping in the nonexistent wind, he proclaimed, "I have good news and I have bad news! The good news is that the bad news is worse than you fear!"

Rin started to get annoyed at the clowns antics. Vein pulsing on top of his forehead, Rin yelled, "Will you get on with it clown-face! Why did you call us down here at three in the morning?"

Yukio sighed mentally and wondered if his brother had some sort of ADHD problem, and if it was hereditary.

Bon rolled his eyes and "che'ed" but secretly he agreed with Rin. 'Why had the principal called them down here at such a time? Unless he had a reason to…maybe he wanted to keep this mission as secret as possible?' Bon shook his head in confusion.

Konekomaru was silently hoping this mission had nothing to do with any rising of powerful demons, but knowing their luck, plus the fact that they had Rin, the son of Satan, on their team; it was more likely than not to be a hell raiser of a mission.

Shima and Izumo were thinking along those same lines but Shima was willing to bet that it would mean less sleep and possibly being chased by demons, yet again. He sighed and slumped down folding his arms across his chest.

Izumo was thinking that maybe the man was slightly crazy and summoned them to throw them into yet another insane mission. Like the one they had just got back from in Kyoto with the Impure King. 'But knowing those two,' glances out of her peripheral at the black haired twins down the end of the line, 'this is going to be one of our hardest missions ever.' Her head thumped down to hit her chest in a deject manner.

Shiemi simply bounced and had the silliest, but probable her most serious face (game face XFD) on.

Takara nodded and continued with his silent conversation with his rabbit puppet.

Shura whirled her index finger in a circle, motioning for Mephisto to get on with it.

Mephisto looked at the exwires and noted they didn't seem all that surprised by his announcement. His shoulders slumped and he pouted. Huffing, he sat back down and whined to no one in particular, "Well, I guess now that your all here I might as well as tell you all why I summoned you."

"Yes, that would be nice Mr. Faust.", said Yukio as he pushed his glasses up higher on his nose and clasped his hands behind his back.

Noticeing the impatient attitudes of his students, he began, "Well, there has been several serious disturbing reports from our underground True-Cross partners near the Inokashira Park, just to the west of Tokyo, near the Kanda River. They, being our twin organization, we are, of course, required to answer their plea for help. We have, due to the circumstances of this incident, decided to send you nine in as our field agents in order to investigate."

Shura blinked as the rest of the exorcists in the room looked around confused.

Finally Izumo spoke up, "Then why were you acting like it was a big deal? That seems pretty straight forward to me. Plus, we are only exwires, why are you not sending in a few higher leveled exorcists? "

Mephisto looked at Kamiki Izumo and smiled his best, sharp teeth and all. "Why, my dear? Because pertaining to this mission, I would like to, in essence, keep this mission of the most top secret priority or hush-hush, if you please." Mephisto paused for a dramatic effect, "Plus, because those "disturbing" reports that were sent to me, spoke of dead bodies piling up in the park."

At this, Izumo paled and seem to shrink into her-self. Shiemi, Konekomaru and Shima gasped. Shura, Rin, Bon and Yukio simply grimaced at this new information. Takara put the paws of his rabbit puppet over its mouth in mock horror.

Mephisto continued as he finally saw the faces that he was aiming for, "Dead bodies, Miss Kamiki, which were severely burned and torn apart, to literally, shreds. The only reason we even knew they were the bodies of humans, was because a wallet was found partly burned in the shrubbery a few meters away."

Izumo, if even possible, lost the rest of color that remained in her face and was in shock. Rin reached over and patted her on her shoulder. "Don't worry about it Eyebrows, I'm sure with us Exwires on the case, we will be able to stop it in no time!" He gave his fangy trademark grin with a thumbs' up. There seemed to be light shinning off of him, in sparkles?

The adults in the room (Mephisto, Shura and Yukio) sweat dropped at Rin's enthusiasm. Izumo immediately threw his hand off and with a deep cherry red blush spreading over her cheeks, yelled, "Do-don't call me that Okumura!"

Coughing into his hand, Mephisto regained the attention of his subordinates. "Well, what I mean by several bodies, is more like they only found enough charred remains to deduce that there was more than one victim. As well as by the photograph and student I.D in the wallet, we know that at least one of the victims was a seventeen-year old girl from the high-school only a few blocks away from the park. Who, by the officials of the underground sect, have deduced that she was several weeks into a pregnancy."

Finishing, Mephisto leaned back with his arms crossed and savored the look of mortification on the teen's faces.

Shiemi was the first to react. Quite strongly in fact, she burst out, "Th-that is horrible! What kind of monster would do such a thing! If it is a demon, then we will most defiantly exorcise it!" She vigorously nodded her head as to assure her-self that it would be done.

Rin smiled and nodded his head as well, trying to dispel all of the morose thoughts that were spinning around in his head.

Bon and the rest of the exwires all nodded as well. Mephisto glanced at Shura and Yukio; they too nodded in assent to the mission that was laid out before them.

Mephistos' grin widened indefiantly as he jumped up out of his chair (again). Pointing to Shura, he trilled, "Then I am naming you Shura, Captain of this mission and you are to take all three of the female exwires to protect the honzon of the Benzaiten sect and keep it from harm. While the boys defend the perimeter and try to catch whatever is killing people in that park!"

There was a slight lag of action from the exwires as he ended his statement. Mephisto noticed and leaned over(Because he just happened to be standing on top of the desk) to whisper in Yukio's ear (loud enough for everyone to hear). "Why are they not jumping into action?" Yukio shook his head sadly.

Shura finally looked at Mephisto and rolled her eyes, "Um, sorry to burst yer happy bubble, but there is only two female exwires in this group, Mephy. But anyway, why is it just the girls protecting it?"

He straightened up and counted the amount of female and males in the group. Females: 2 Males: 5…

"Oh my, well than, I guess I will just have to change that!" Mephisto sang as he clapped his hands together, got off his desk and started to dig in the piles of paperwork that sat atop his desk. While he was doing so he started to explain,

"The Benzaiten sect is a secret clan that has, since around the 6th century here in Japan, worshiped the Goddess of everything that flows or in Sanskrit: Sarasvatῑ, which means "flowing water". They have just recently agreed to merge with True-Cross and as such have yet to publicly be announced as one of our affiliates. Till then, they would like a certain amount of amnesty, at least until they are fully joined and are protected against any grievances. They, being quite old, have certain traditions that may be considered old fashioned, but as they hold a certain honzon that the Vatican would like to see under their protection, we must treat this matter with the utmost delicacy."

Mephisto paused and with a tug, pulled out a little scrap of paper from the stacks of paper work. He spun around and held it up to the exwires. "They as a sect have a certain tradition that makes things a tiny bit more complicated."

He then pointed at the paper. It only had a few marks on it. Red sigils circled a bigger glyph right in the middle, colored in black with a blue diamond shaped box entrapping it.

"They are a female-only sect that has never allowed a single man to step over their threshold. That is why Shura-san, you will only be able to take the female exwires with you to protect the Honzon. So, like I said originally, you will take the three female exwires with you. " He then gestured to Izumo and Shiemi.

He walked over to Izumo and thrust the paper into her hands. She looked up at him with a raised eyebr- err yeah, eyebrow.

Mephisto smiled and turned back to Shura. "That is why Izumo and Shiemi are the two and plus you, that makes three. Now, don't you see that is a little uneven with the boy's number, exspecially if you add Yukio-san? So I propose that we simply, make another."

Yukio, who with the other males had remained silent almost the entire time, managed to figure out what Sir Pheles was hinting at.

"No way in Assiah or Gehenna, am I doing that." Yukio dead panned.

Bon as well as Shima and Takara figured it out by Yukios' reaction. They too, voiced their opposition. "Neither are we."

Konekomaru shook his head violently as he too, caught the gist of what the principal was implying.

Leaving Rin, clueless as to the entire conversation.

"Umm, hay what do ya mean about that Clowny? Make another one? Unless your plan, is to like, I don't know make…one…of us...cross-dress...," Rin's face went slack with the realization of what Mephisto was getting at. "OH, HELL NO! NO WAY ON GODS' GREEN ASSIAH AM I DOING THAT!" Rin took a step back as Mephisto grinned eerily.

He took a step forward towards Rin and over the desk, poked him with his index finger in the forehead. "To bad, everyone else already said they would not do it. So, that leaves you as the odd man out, or should I say odd girl, Rin-chan?"

Mephisto's grin widened when he heard Rin hit the floor in a dead faint. 'Hmm, not that it truly mattered if they did; I already picked you out to be the one to be the guinea pig of that interesting incantation I found in a dusty copy of the libraries: Lotus Sutra.(1)'
