Recap

/As his brother disappeared Mephisto looked out of the window again, watching the sun rise.

'Let the game begin! ~/

Rin stalked down the hall looking for his dear, younger brother Yukio to show up. He was grumbling to himself the entire time. 'Damn that clown face, doing something as twisted as this, what the hell?'

An image of Mephisto popped up saying 'Gehenna'.

'…'

His eye twitched and he smacked himself in the face with his hand. Rubbing the back of his head, Rin yelled out loud, "Thinking about it ain't going to get me anywhere,*sigh* might as well as find Yukio and the rest of those idiots. Che, when did everything get so complicated?"

Rin placed his hands behind his head and kept walking.

[Meanwhile, with the others…]

"Haaghahga…why don't…we…stop…hahaagh…I think we are a safe… distance away from…the office."

Bon and the rest of the crew slowed down. The girls sunk to the ground panting. Shura, who was not even affected after running for thirty minutes straight, snickered, poking Shiemi in the back of the head, "What, can't ya keep up, girly?" Shiemi blushed and looked to 'Yuki-chan'.

The guys were having a hard time catching their breath, they too looked to 'Okumura-sensei' for the next part of the plan, or were they just going to avoid Rin for the next couple of hours?

Yukio, who too had a hard time of regaining his breath had his hands on his knees, sighed and straightened. He glanced around and mentally did a head count, seeing they had everyone, he then checked to see if Koumaken was still secure in its bag across his shoulders. Once he finished he turned to look at the exwires and Shura-san.

"Well, it would seem that we are far enough, I guess it would be okay to take a rest." Hearing this, the students sighed in relief.

Bon was the first one to speak, "What do we do next? It's almost five in the morning, a little early for breakfast, don't you say?"

Yukio glanced at Bon and rubbed his head. "We do have a mission to get ready for, so I would suggest getting packed up." Yukio turned and continued talking as he walked down the hall. "Plus, sooner or later we will have to face Rin," Yukio and everyone else shivered at the thought, especially Yukio, 'I hope Ani can forgive me…,'

"When your done will have to find him and-oof!" Yukio had turned the corner and walked straight into someone.

"!"

[Back to Rin…]

Rin was in a bad mood, he had been searching for those idiots for the past twenty minutes. Yanking his head in frustration, Rin turned the corner.

"Gahhh! Where the he-I mean Gehenna are those guys? I've spent the last twenty minutes looking everywhere for them. Che, they better not be hiding from me. If they are, I'm going to-oof."

Rin bumped straight into someone while rounding the corner. Hitting the floor he rubbed the back of the bump that just appeared on his head.

"Watch where you're going ya…"

"!"

[With Yukio…]

Yukio stared blankly at the person before him, after about five seconds he recovered himself and offered the other his hand from pure manners; otherwise he would have not hesitated to punch the man in front of him.

"Gomenasai, Angel."

Angel ignored the hand and opted to sneer at Yukio and dust him-self off. Angel glanced around, after not seeing the other twin; he then decided to add insult to injury, "Well if it isn't the demons' younger brother, I see that you finally got rid of him. I knew sooner or later you would see he was merely a nuisan-"

Bon stood next to Yukio, fist outstretched. Angel was on the floor holding his cheek, with a stunned look on his face.

"Opps, looks like my hand slipped."

The exwires stared in amazement at Bon mouths hanging open. 'Did he just attack the paladin Angel?' Shura was the first to speak, "Ya just got yer pretty ass kicked, Nyaa~"

Yukio raised an eyebrow at Shura but did nothing to stop her from her taunting. Shima laughed and crossed his arms, while Konekomaru and Shiemi looked between the Paladin, Bon, and their sensei with a mortified expression spreading across their face. Takara and Izumo stood to the sidelines and watched the entire scene, not bothering to join in.

Bon scoffed and turned to look at the rest of the exwires. He sneered, "What? You were all probably thinking about doing that!"

Yukio fixed his glasses and clapped his hand on Bon's back and spoke in a calm voice, "Yes, well like I said earlier we should get ready for the mission," he turned to Angel who was still on the floor holding his cheek in astonishment. "As for you, I suggest from now on you stay away from me and my Ani. Understand?" Yukio had a scary smile on his face that was usually only reserved for Rin when he was in trouble, but this was an even fiercer one.

Shura walked up to Angel and bending down flicked him in the forehead. She scoffed, "Yep, unless yer want to be filled with holy silver/water bullets, I think ya should listen to this here scaredy-cat four eyes." She pointed her thumb to Yukio.

*Chick*

Yukio brought up his cocked gun to Shura's backside. He smiled (in an insane sort of way), "Unless you want to be filled with holes, please don't call me that Shura-san!" A vein was throbbing on top of his head.

She straightened up and waving her hand in his direction, laughed, "Nyahaha~ yer funny scaredy-act four eyes! ~"

The rest of the group sweat dropped. 'We don't think he is joking Shura/Kirigakure-san!'

Angel, who had been stunned for the most part, now jumped up and unsheathed Caliburn. The demon sword squealed, "Go get um' Angel! Show um' what you're made of! Don't let those ugly son-of-a-bitches knock ya around! ~"

Angel's long blond hair and ridicules cape swished behind him as he brought Caliburn to Yukio's throat. He grimaced, "You will pay for slandering me demon spawn!" Turning to glare at Shura he continued, "And he will not be the only one!" "Go Angel go! ~"

Shiemi and Konekomaru gasped, "Yuki-chan/Okumura-sensei!" The rest looked on in surprise as their sensei spun around, deflecting the sword and bringing both of his pistols to rest at Angel's head. Though Caliburn was a once again at his throat, Yukio now had a fair advantage against the Paladin.

At least till a scream rent the air.

'I would know that voice anywhere!' Yukio swiveled to stare at the direction it originated from. Bon and the rest looked to their sensei and seeing his nod ran towards the sound.

But Angel saw his chance at a sure victory, and giving not one iota of attention to the scream, readied his sword to strike Yukio.

That is till Shura stepped in chanting, "Devour the Seven Princesses, slay the Serpent!" effectively cutting off Angel's attack on Yukio with her sword.

"Go on ahead, I'll handle this prick! Nyaa~"

Yukio stared hard at Angel, and then nodded to Shura, running down the hall to the direction that the rest of the exwires ran in.

Shura's smirk disappeared in an instant, no longer playing around. She raised her sword higher, pointing to Angel's heart. She growled, "If ya dare point that blade at either of them again, I'll snap it in half and make yer eat it! You understand me?"

Angel grimaced and took a step back, raising Caliburn; he then sheathed her (1) and sneered, "As if I would want to touch something as filthy as the devils spawn! Tch, sooner or later they will be put out of their misery, mark my words!"

With this he flipped his hair (because he is such a girl), spun around and walked away.

Shura had kept her sword up till at last Angel was gone. She then lowered it and slid it back home in the seal above her silver and blue striped shirt. (You know what type of shirts she wears!) She sighed and placed her right hand on her hip, rubbing the back of her head with her left hand. She then, too turned and walked away to where everybody else had run to.

Five halls down to the right, she spotted Shima and Bon's hairdo's and leisurely walked down towards them. They were in a circle around a certain black headed exorcist.

'Rin?'

Shura quickened, after seeing him sitting on the floor. Yukio looked up when Shura came closer, a thin line closed in a grimace as his greeting. He then bent back over his brother, continuing to wrap what looked like a bleeding bite mark on his neck.

Bon saw Shura as well and growled, "Did you deal with that bastard?" Shura nodded her head and went to stand near the brothers, Shura stopped and bent down on the balls of her feet next to the couple. "Well? Yer gone for what, maybe forty minutes or so and ya end up with battle scars? Nyaa~ Yer shur are a lot of trouble fluffy! ~ What exactly happened?"

Rin gave her the finger for the fluffy comment and winced when Yukio pulled on the bandages to tighten them, his tail curling up in displeasure. Yukio sighed exasperated, "We will get to that in a moment Shura-san, for now, please don't move Ni-san, if you move too much you might start bleeding again."

Rin pouted and mumbled under his breath, "Ya well it's not as if it won't heal in an hour or so."

"Ouch! ~"

Yukio was holding the end of the wrap, a slightly scary smile on his face with his eyes closed. He cocked his head to the side, "What was that Ni-san?"

'!'

Sensing danger, Rin gulped and scooted a little a ways from his dear twin brother who was now holding a pair of scissors.

Rin slowly shook his head and Yukio hanged his head, sighing again, he lowered the scissors to the end of the bandage and snipped off the leftovers.

Standing up, he put the scissors away and grasped Rin's hand pulling him up.

The rest of the group moved out of the way. Shiemi was the first to talk, "Umm, Rin what exactly did happen?"

Bon nodded in agreement, "Ya, one second we were just walking down the hall and the next we hear this scream, did ya see a spider and scream like a little girl or something?"

*Bam*

Izumo lowered her fist back to her side; Bon was cradling his head with tears gathering in his eyes. Walking straight up to a cowering Rin she peered at him for a second then twirled around and pointed her finger at Bon, then at Rin's neck. "If he did see a spider, I'm guessing it left that huge ass bite mark on him? Spiders don't have teeth, they have fangs, you buffoon! Around Rin's neck is several teeth marks, whatever did this was something that had a full set of teeth, thank you very much." Afterwards she crossed her arms with a smirk on her face.

Everyone just sort of stared, especially Rin, who was a bit red in the face for some reason.

Bon's face went slack and then began to darken. A vein was just waiting to burst on top of his head. He brought his hands down from his head and closed them into fists, and would have jumped Izumo, if Konekomaru and Shima had not restrained him.

They struggled with a snarling Bon, "Why you! Will see who the buffoon is here, girly!"

Izumo waved her hand in front of her face still smirking, "Ha, as if, you brute!"

Bon struggled more in his two friends grip. Konekomaru and Shima both shouted, "Please Bon/Bon-san we rather not have to take collective responsibility more than once a month, thank you!"

Yukio sighed for the umpteenth time that day and face-palmed him-self in the forehead. "Please stop riling up Mister Suguro, Miss Kamiki. We have enough to do as is!"

Izumo pouted and turned her back to Bon, "Well, it's not my fault if that man is a dunder-head!"

Bon grimaced in disgust choosing not go any further lest Shura inflect the dreaded punishment know as 'group responsibility'. Good thing too, Shura was losing her patience with the exwires, after all one should not have steam coming out of the nostrils.

Yukio saw all this and shook his head. 'If I make it out of this hall way alive, I'll devout all my spare time into spending it alone were no one can find me, praying to God.' He turned to face his older brother, ignoring the shenanigans of the other exwires and asked, "Ni-san, if we may? What happened? Were you attacked?"

Rin, who had been trying to sneak off while Izumo and Bon were fighting, stilled as everyone turned their attention on to him. Even Shura who was now menacingly holding her sword at both of the feuding exwires turned at this. The blacked haired exorcist-in-training looked back at the faces of a snorting Shura and a livid brother.

Rin smiled, rubbing the back of his head, trying to find a good excuse to as why he had a huge bite mark on his neck. His tail wagging erratically in panic.

(Ten seconds of pure silence~)

Not finding a good excuse Rin decided to lie through his teeth. "Well, you see I was just walking down the hall looking for you guys," points accusing finger at the group, "for the past twenty minutes! When suddenly I'm on my back bleeding! I had just enough time catch a glimpse of a black and green blur before you guys show up and started causing this entire ruckus!"

Rin waved his arms (and tail) about in a frantic fashion trying to make it seem an even bigger deal then what really happened, in hopes this story would placate them.

It worked for Shura frowned and muttered a curse to the air. "Mephisto! ~ When I get my hands on that man, he'll wish he'd never been born! Nya~ my word! Hasn't he let enough demons onto the damn campus?" Shura sent her hands skyward still holding her sword. Scoffing, in disgust because of their principal's lack of sense.

Yukio grimaced as he heard Shura muttering to herself. But once Shura began to stalk back towards Mr. Faust's office, he sweat dropped. 'Well, I don't envy that man one bit, at least it's not one of us suffering her wrath.' The rest of the group was thinking along similar lines.

Rin gave a sigh of relief. 'They fell for it, thank God! If they had found out what really happened, then all Gehenna would break loose, figuratively and literally!'

Realizing Shura was about to turn the corner of the hall, Rin remembered what he had been sent to do by the man who she was going to 'talk' to.

"Shura!" Rin yelled. She glanced back at him only bothering to turn her head back, sword still in hand. "What yer lazy fluff ball?~"

A vein on Rin's face throbbed, but now was not the time for a fight to break out. Using the only bits of common sense he was gifted with, he managed not to cuss. There after all, was a mission to prepare for and he wanted to get it done with as soon as possible.

Vein still thumping, Rin decided to ignore the fluffy comment this time and raised his hands to his face to yell, "Mephisto told me to tell everyone to meet in the Tamer classroom! Bring the idiot clown with you, will you?"

Shura gave a confused tilt of her head. 'The tamer classroom?' Thinking for a few extra seconds she thumped her right fist (which still had the sword in hand, so thumped its hilt) into her opened-palm, thinking 'Oh, Mephy's going to do the transformation thingy to Rin! ~' Shouting just as loud as Rin, she yelled back, "Sur, but I can't wait to see ya in a skirt, fluffy!"

Rin fell on his face at this, struggling back up, he muttered death threats towards Shura and who ever came up with the idea that he could pull off the whole, 'I'm a girl' disguise.

"Just get that damn clown!" He shook his fist at Shura as she literally skipped down the hall Nya~'ing the whole way, swinging the sword back and forth, in a more chirper mood.

Takara stood to the back completely ignoring everything that was going on. He just continued mouthing to his puppet, 'Rabbit-kun, I'm sleepy~ I wonder when they will shut up~?'

Shiemi, who after all with Takara, stayed back as the fight broke out, heard what Shura had yelled across the hall. She walked up to Rin, pulling on his sleeve; managing to grab his attention. "Umm, Rin does that mean we are supposed to report to the Tamer classroom too, like Shura-san said?"

Rin feeling the tug looked down at Shiemi. Seeing her sparkling green eyes at the prospect of finally seeing Rin as a girl, he gloomily replied 'Hai', tail moving back and forth dejectedly and turned his face back to the direction Shura merrily skipped from. Shiemi, satisfied with the answer walked back towards the group.

Frowning, Rin was trying to remember the other reason as to why he went looking for the group.

*Light bulb*

Rin swiveled around and walked up to his brother, hair hiding the expression on his face.

Yukio glanced at his brother wondering why he was being so quite all of a sudden. Only after seeing Bon, Shima, Konekomaru and Izumo motioning to the bag on his shoulders, Yukio remembered what had happened earlier that morning. Scrabbling away from Rin, Yukio moved back as Rin closed in on him.

Raising his head, Rin had a dangerous gleam in his eyes'. Yukio gulped and waving his arms in front of him, stuttered out, "Now I know what you're thinking Ni-san, but it was for your own good! If I hadn't you would of damaged Mr. Faust's' office!"

Rin smiled like a manic as he came closer to his brother. He then clapped a hand down on Yukio's shoulder. Yukio gulped and prayed for his life. "Dear younger brother, do you have any last words?"

Yukio's soul left his body as Rin increased the pressure on his arm. As Rin leaned closer hovering over Yukio, blue flames started to flick off of him as Yukio bent backwards.

Yukio thought this was going to be the end of him and his glasses. So did the rest of the rest of the exwires. They removed themselves to safe distance (behind the wall of the corridor they just came from) waiting for the fight to break out.

But then Rin suddenly scrunched up his face in pain, collapsing to the floor, his hand shot to the bandaged bite on his neck. "Owwwwww Owwwwww!~"

Previous situation forgotten, Yukio bent down to help his Ani, placing the sword on the floor off of his back. With an experienced eye, Yukio looked at Rin's neck wound again, "Ni-san, I told you not to move around too fast!"

Rin shuffled his feet so he was sitting on his rump instead of his legs to avoid squishing his tail. He scowled at his brother and rumbled, "Che, just give me back Koumaken! I wouldn't have had to move around so much if you had left it were it belonged!"

Yukio raised an eyebrow at that, failing to rebuke the statement. After all he had taken it from his Ani, causing him to have to wonder around the halls and open him-self to be attacked by some creature. So he really could say nothing in his own defense.

Sighing loudly, Yukio shook his head, choosing not to say anything, and instead waved the rest of the exwires over as Rin once again was hoisted up and then given his blade, Kurikara, back.

Bon and everyone else came creeping back, wary of any other fighting that might break out. That was every one of them except Takara, he had disappeared sometime earlier.

Rin rolled his eyes, placing Kurikara across his shoulder blades. Feeling some one's else's eyes burning into him he looked up, only to see Bon staring at him.

Caught staring, Bon blushed and looked away, scratching his cheek. Confused, Rin tilted his head to the side wondering what was up the blonde and brown haired exwire.

Shrugging his shoulders, he was just in time to brace himself as Izumo grabbed his collar and started dragging him down the hallway to the left.

"WH-what are you doing Eyebrows?" Izumo growled with a vein pumping in her hand that was twisted up in Rins collar. She continued dragging him and turned her head to yell at the rest, "Well, are you idiots going to continue standing there? Or shouldn't we get to the Tamer classroom before the principal does? He must have given that order around 4:50; it's now 6:27! " She put down her wrist that held her purple watch and glared at her fellow exwires.

Yukio gave a small smile and pushed his glasses up higher on his nose. "Hai, we should. Thank you, Miss Kamiki."

Izumo colored slightly and scoffed, spinning back around she continued on her way. The rest sweat dropped seeing how she didn't let go of Rin's collar, and continued dragging him.

Konekomaru followed with the rest, but was scratching his head. 'Last time I checked Takara-san was with us, where did he go?' Confused he followed the rest on their way to the classroom.

Slowly they all made their way to the Tamer facility without mishap. Konekomaru was still confused by the sudden disappearance of Takara, 'I hope he didn't get into any trouble or anything.'

They all stopped at a door and Yukio pulled a keychain from his pocket. Rin spoke up from his position below Izumo, (thanks to being dragged the entire way.) He threw up his hands, "Not another key! How many do you have? Thirty billion?"

Yukio smirked and jingled the entire ring, it was filled with keys all sorts of colors and shapes.

The specific one he picked was gold with green and had a goblin's face twisted into a snarl, worked into the handle of it. It had a wonky end that fit snugly into the doors lock. A twist and the door clicked, swinging open.

They all shuffled into the gigantic workroom. Izumo dropped Rin unceremoniously on the floor and went to look around. Bon walked past and didn't give Rin a second glance. At least not one that anyone else saw.

Shima walked over and gripped him pulling Rin up off the floor. "Dude, you must really like the floor, you keep ending up having face time with it."

Rin grabbed Shima's shirt front and lifted him up off the ground. He nearly made a lunch date for his fist to Shima's face, but was interrupted as Konekomaru accidently bumped into him.

"There's Takara-san, I thought he had wondered off!" Konekomaru went to stand by Takara. Who was at the moment sprawled across the floor, sleeping in the corner. "Takara-san, you will catch a cold sleeping on the floor like that."

Takara's rabbit rose off the ground(controlled by his hand, mind you) and opened its mouth. "Shut up, you stupid cat! Sheesh~ interrupting my sleep time." The rabbit shook his head and settled back down on the floor next to Takara's head.

Konekomaru looked close to tears due to the rude comment; he was only trying to help. Rin patted him on the back of his shoulder offering him a smile. The monk gave Rin a small smile in return as thanks. Rin by now was no longer holding Shima up by his shirt, he had let go when he heard Takara being rude to Konekomaru. He was about to say something to Takara but Bon interrupted.

Bon huffed in disgust and looked between Rin and Yukio who stood adjusting his glasses in the middle of the room. "What are we doing here? You never explained Baka!"

Rin bristled at the rude comment and gave Bon the finger, tail swishing the air in agitation. "Shut up! It's not like I want to be here," Rin looked sideways at Izumo, stepping away from Konekomaru and Shima in the process, "That stupid clown for some reason wanted you all here whi-while he did that transformation thing!" Rin waved his left hand sideways in front of his face blushing as he stammered out the last part.

Izumo raised her eyebrows(dots) and dug out the scrap of paper that the principal gave her. "You mean the thing he explained to us while you were unconscious?"

Rin gave her a blank stare; he had assumed that he was just going to dressing up as a girl, he finally nodded.

The answer that came next shocked him to his core. Izumo held up the paper to Rin's face. "He told us this would help you turn into a real girl."

"…"

"That-that thing, what did that clown face tell them? And what the Gehenna does she mean by 'real girl'!"

Shiemi tried to calm down a Rin, who looked like he was about to start hyperventilating. "It's ok Rin! Izumo is just going to perform a spell on you and you'll turn into a girl!" She looked so proud, thinking she had helped calm Rin down by revisiting the terrible fact that had caused the situation.

In reality, Rin froze in place due to shock, 'Turn-Turn into a girl…what-WHAT! Just as he unfroze from the shock of the revelation, he opened his mouth to rant, pointing at the purple haired exwire, "You Izumo, explain-" and was sent flying forward due to the door slamming open. Straight into his backside. (Poor guy, he never gets to finish anything does he?)

"Hello my dear exwires, I see you are all wide awake and ready to go!" Mephisto sauntered in without a care in the world; Shura stomped in still fuming from earlier, with arms crossed.

Yukio greeted Mr. Faust by a hand wave completely ignoring Rin who was face first on the floor. He lay dazed with blue will-o'-wisps flying around his head.

Everyone sweat dropped in sympathy, after all Rin just has the worst luck ever.

Shima rubbed the back of his head and with eyes closed, joked, "Mah, Rin-kun, are you sure you don't have a crush on the floor?"

Rin recovered enough to send a death glare at the pink haired exwire. Thinking of how best to dispose of a body without being seen Rin stood back up rubbing his rear. Glaring at the head clown, he stalked his way over to the demon dressed in white.

Shura meanwhile was gritting her teeth together. 'Damn clown, if only I could lay my sword into him; I'd rip 'im to pieces!' Her sword had been placed back into her seal a while back during her 'talk' with Mephisto. So now she could only walk behind him and administer death glares at his back.

Mephisto, while ignoring Shura, turned to Yukio. "Ah, Yukio-kun, I believe that Rin has told everyone to be here?" A nod of the head for confirmation and it was back to business. He completely ignored the fuming Rin, who was poking his person with Koumaken and trying to get an explanation out of him. "You damn clown I'm going to kill you."

*Poke*

*Poke*

*Jab*

*Jab*

A flourish of his white cape and Mephisto grabbed Koumaken hitting Rin over the head with it. Dropping Koumaken on top of Rin's flailing body he turned back to the group he continued without another glance to the black haired exorcist. "Now that we are all here then I guess we can start. Ne? Miss Kamiki, if you could please copy the symbols off of the piece of paper and onto the floor. We can get started."

No one moved, except Izumo who went to do his bidding, they were all too busy sneaking peeks at Rin, who was rolling on the floor holding his head, to pay any attention to the clown. Said clown noticed this and sighed to him-self, 'Really now, is it too much to ask for their undivided attention?' Placing his right hand on his hip and ignoring the still steaming evil eye from Shura, he bent down, grabbed Rin's tail with his left and pulled.

"OWWWWWWWWWW!"

Rin hopped up holding his poor tail, anime tears streaming off his face, "What the Gehenna was that for you stupid clown? Don't pull my tail! And what did they mean when they said real girl? You better have a good explanation for this; you never said anything about becoming a girl!"

Mephisto glanced at Rin for a second and immediately turned back to the exwires in front of him. Every one sweat dropped and thought unanimously,

'IGNORED.'

Yukio rushed forward and restrained his older brother before he could unsheathe Kurikara and inflect pain upon their principal, no matter what he had done, he was still their superior.

Still seething, Rin tried to yell but had his mouth blocked by Bon. Stepping forward he glared hard at Rin behind him and swiveled his head to look Mr. Faust. "Che, so why do the rest of us have to be present? Couldn't you have just done it with Izumo over there?"

Mr. Faust grinned widely showing off his white and gleaming sharp teeth. "Why because I needed few capable someone's' to restrain dear Rin so he doesn't run off! And because it would be fun to see your faces afterwards, of course."

Everyone's shoulders dropped at this revelation and as they shook their heads thought gloomily, 'Of course, he says, Rin really has no luck at all.'

Rin stopped struggling at this and finally accepting his ill fate as a guinea pig. Not that he was going to enjoy it.

Meanwhile, Bon lifted his hand off of Rin's mouth when it looked like he was going to bite and Yukio also let go of his brother when he stopped wiggling about. So now Rin was free and unrestrained.

Konekomaru and Shima watched warily just waiting for something to set Rin off again. No one noticed the quite exchange between the two feuding entities in the middle of the room.

Mephisto meet Rin's blue eyes with his light green. His smile widened and he winked at the younger. A silent reminder of the bet they had made.

Fingers itching to wrap themselves around the clowns' neck, Rin snorted in disgust and turned his head to the right. Folding his arms he grumbled, "Tch, fine let's just get this stupid transformation thingy out of the way! The faster the better!"

Mephisto tipped his top hat at this, using this action to hide his ever widening smile that was beginning to look quite maniacal.

"DONE!"

Everyone turned to see a gigantic circle that spread across the floor. Every little detail that had been on the piece of paper was now stretched across the floor in chalk. Izumo nodded to the head principal and stepped off to the side holding the smaller version of the diagram in her right hand.

Mephisto grabbed Rin left bicep and tossed him into the circle. Rin with his bad luck landed on his face. Holding his now red nose he yelled, "Why you motherfuck-oof!"

Mephisto tossed Koumaken at Rin's face. He had dropped it earlier when he was hit by the door, and then tried to pick it up again when he was threatening Mephisto, but forgot to do so when a certain annoying clown distracted him.

Rin glowered at the clown in white plotting his eminent demise as it was. Till Yukio coughed, giving his ani a seething glare along the lines of get-the-hell-on-with-it.

Huffing, Rin stood up holding his bruised nose and his face as he took a good look at the circle drawn out on the ground. "What in Gehenna is this anyway? Some sort of summoning circle?"

Mephisto chuckled and shook his head, "No, dear Rin, it's a special magic circle that will change your form in to that of a females. So I suggest you don't try to move out of the circle once the spell begins. You might end up horribly disfigured."

Rin glared at the dark-purpled-haired-son-of-a-bitch-in-white who looked like he was on the verge of splitting his face wide open due to the grin on his face. He only wanted to know one thing; he wasn't stupid enough to try running now,

"Is it going to hurt?"

His Cheshire smile widened, now resembling a lunatic slasher.

"Very."

Rin paled to a sickly green color. "I knew you were going to say that." Rin gulped and swiveled his head to look at everyone in the room. He saw Shiemi nervously bouncing up and down an excited look on her face. Izumo just gave him a curt nod and focused on the words Mephisto was busy whispering in her ear. (He moved towards her as Rin looked around the room.)

Konekomaru looked just as pale as Rin; he gave him a slight nod. Shima gave him a thumbs-up, "I hope you don't make an ugly looking chick, Rin-kun."

Death glare, at level five: scathing and he turned ignoring his smirk to see Bon. A sneer and "What you looking at!" was all he got. Though Bon quietly wished him luck under his breath.

Shura and Yukio both smiled and said "Good luck, Ni-san. /Fluffy yer gonna need it! Nya~"

Takara was still fast asleep in the corner. Rin sweat dropped and turned around only to saw a bit of movement out of the corner of his eyes but he ignored it thinking it was his imagination messing with him. Choosing instead to rub his bandaged neck and turn around to look at Izumo saying, "Well, if we could get on with this in the next century, please? I'm starting to get grey hairs, Eyebrows!"

Sneering she stepped away from the man in white and held the piece of paper up to the heavens. "Just hold your horses, sheesh, do you want me to mess up on the incantation?"

Chanting loud for them all to hear, she yelled,

"O Benzaiten, in your ever eternal flowing form, grant this child your hand and take his to give to hers and let your flowing essence gift to this dazzling form to her!"

The circle began to glow a reddish orange color, the trails of it wrapping around the symbols on the floor, casting a burning hue upon everything in the room. Slowly Rin's hair lifted up from his head as if wind was blowing it up. His clothes too moved as if an invisible wind moved past him. "Wahhh! What is happening?"

Rin began to float in the middle of the circle, hanging on to Koumaken for dear life as he was lifted into the air. "Why the Gehenna am I floating?"

Mephisto smirked and replied over the building humming sound that pervaded the room. "Just because. I suggest you hold onto Koumaken, the next bit might hurt a little. Don't want you dropping it now do we?

Rin gave him the finger, "You know what? When I get my hands on you-!"

Suddenly the reddish orange glow mutated into flaming tendrils and wrapped themselves around Rin's body. "Wahhh?"

The tendrils draped themselves across his form, covering his entire body in fire.

The exwires gasped, silently wondering if Rin was going to all right. Not that they could do anything to stop the spell lest something horrible happen per Mephisto's earlier comment.

As the humming reached its crescendo and the fire turned into silvery blue wisps, Mephisto murmured under his breath as a bright light flashed all around them,

"And so it begins."

Please review and tell me if I did everthing to your expectations. I hate it when I disppoint.

(1) Caliburn acts like a girl so I will refer to Caliburn as such.

Ps. The chant that Izumo says was just made up on the spot due to my hyperactive imagination.

Next time on Resonance: What exactly did happen to Rin? Who was this green and black blur that bit him? And why is Mephisto not dead yet! Shura's re-account of her 'talk' with Mephisto before she shows up in the classroom.
