"So I wonder what cram school will be like?" I asked out loud.
"Dunno, maybe a bunch of old men sitting around together. I don't expect many people to know about it either."
"Hn," I stopped walking, "Rin where is the cram school classroom?"
He stopped walking and looked at me with wide eyes, "I don't know, that's why I was following you!"
We stared at each other for a while trying to see if one was playing a joke on the other and finally stopped and sighed. "Well for one, you need a special key."
We looked down between us and saw a dog with a polka dot bow. He had two keys in his mouth.
"K-key?" We each took one and jumped when we saw the dog talk again, "Yes just put it in any random door and it will instantly take you to the intended place it's connected to."
I shrugged and put it into a nearby doorway and a large hallway was behind it. I closed the door and took the key out and opened the door again to find an empty classroom. I giggled and put the key in and opened it to find the hallway again. "That's cool. Me likey." I said and watched Rin do the same.
I heard a sigh and saw the dog again. "Oh, Rin! Lets go!" We nodded and ran into our separate doors only to run into each other. We rubbed our foreheads.
The dog sighed again, "Come along you two, your first class is this way." We stood up and walked behind the dog. He stopped in front of a door, "Here it is."
Rin opened the door and began counting, "What? Only seven? That's boring!"
I nodded in agreement. Rin sat in a desk in front and I took one in the back, behind a kid with a chicken hair-style. He looked only slightly pissed meaning he and Rin might turn out to be a lot alike.
"Yo, I'm Shima Renzou, You are?"
"Okumura Ustukushi. Nice to meet you, Shima-kun." I smiled sweetly.
"This is Suguro Ryuji! And Miwa Konekomaru!" He pulled the chicken head and a smaller boy closer.
"H-hello, Okumura-san." The smaller said.
"May I call you Konekomaru?" He blushed and nodded.
"You can just call Suguro-san 'Bon'. He's used to it." Shima added since Bon wouldn't answer.
"Alright Shima-kun, Bon," I giggled when Bon broke free of his friends grip. I looked over to Rin to see he was staring at us. He had a slight smile and waved. I waved back and gave him a thumbs-up for good luck.
"Ne, Okumura-san have you had a Mashou?" Konekomaru asked.
"Mashou?"
"A disease or injury caused by a demon that can affect one's ability to detect demon's for the rest of their life." Bon added.
"Oh, yeah. When I turned nine on my birthday, I was trying to breath in and swallowed a coal tar." Bon laughed.
"Really how stupid can you get?" I pouted at him until we all looked over to see Yukio walking in the class.
Before I could give my greetings to my brother, he spoke, "Hello my name is Okumura Yukio." He proceeded to explain how he was already an exorcist, "Since I'm your teacher I will not accept any form of casual greetings."
Both me and Rin stood up and shouted, "WHAT!"
"Nee-chan, Nii-san, please refrain from shouting. Now how many of you have received a mashou?" My hand shot up accompanied by a few others. "Alright, now for those of you that have not, for your information this classroom is actually a nest of Hobgoblins, since they tend to hate light and groups of humans they won't come out unless lured. These demons are only capable of minor mischief." He pulled out a vial of brown liquid. The scent hit my nose and I felt like gagging. "Hobgoblins have a high dislike to the scent of rotten animal blood. I'll be diluting this in a carton of milk, which they like, in order to lure them out."
"Yukio stop screwing around!" Rin slammed his hand into the ragged looking teacher's desk, making everyone flinch.
"Nii-san, is something wrong?"
"When did this happen?"
"I sustained a mashou while I was still an infant, I was always able to see demons."
I flinched, 'Me and Rin must've done it.'
Rin climbed over his desk and grabbed Yukio's shirt only for Yukio to drop the vial. I saw the ceiling shake a bit before a hobgoblin began pulling my long hair. Someone screamed, "Demons!" No Duh dipshit!
I grabbed my bag and smacked the thing clean off and grabbed my pencils off my desk. I held them between my fingers then threw them at the demon.
"Everyone out!" Yukio yelled.
I followed everyone else but Rin and Yukio were still in there. Long sounds of explosions and roars were heard.
"So, uh, O-okumura-sensei is your brother?"
"Him and Rin, Yukio is our younger brother and Rin the older. Though we're all triplets."
"Whoa, you're related to that spaz?" Shima asked.
I glared at him, "That spaz, has to be one of the most caring people I know. He has an odd way off showing it though. If he saw say, someone shooting birds and cutting off their legs, not for meat or even the feathers, but for fun…" I clenched my fist remembering how Rin came home when Yukio was supposed to leave. "I wouldn't blame him for hitting the brats, in fact." I smiled up at Shima darkly, "I might have done much worse. So Rin is the lenient out of the two of us."
Shima and Konekomaru stared blankly at me while Bon added, "Demons may be cruel but if humanity doesn't recognize their own mistakes we'll be no better." The two boys gulped and nodded. I stared up at him. The only one to ever really agree with me when I said something possibly cruel and nasty. I smirked.
"It's nice to know someone finally can understand." I whispered.
The sounds stopped and I opened the door to see the room in shambles (worse then before) and Rin resting his arm on Yukio's shoulder.
"BAKA!" I threw a piece of chalk at his forehead and he squealed. "Don't you know it someone's holding something that could aggravate an entire colony of demons, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE THEM DROP ALL OF IT!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't know he'd do that!" he whined as I continued throwing things at him.
Yukio only sighed and dismissed the class.
