I started writing this chapter a while ago, but then the hell spawn called End of Course exams reared its ugly mug and stopped my production of anything. By the way, I hate statistics. Yeah, I'm gonna try to get this done today.

Chapter 10

Yuri could hardly see straight as she ran up the stairs of True Cross Academy. Could my dad really do something so terrible? Yuri's eyes welled up with tears at the thought of the father she never had doing something so terrible. She stopped in front of the door to Mephesto's office, stopping completely. What if it's true? She brought her hand up to the door before stopping again. I didn't even know him. Does that mean he could of? What do I even say to Mephesto when I see him? I- I can't tell him! She was thinking of an excuse, when the door suddenly opened. She looked up into red eyes behind orange sunglasses, her red-rimmed turquoise eyes meeting Father Fujimoto's.

"Yuri, have you been crying," asked the priest, before an angry look appeared on his face, "Was it those two? What happened!?" Yuri stayed quiet as tears began to stream down her face. Shiro quickly brought her into the room to Mephesto's curiosity.

"Yuri, what's the matter," asked the Demon King of Time and Space, summoning a chair for her to sit in.

Yuri rubbed at her eyes, "I-I'm fine. I-I just o-over-h-heard s-something." The door to the office slammed opened, Kanda striding in with Mugen strapped to his waist and Kurikara in hand. Yuri expected what happened next since Kanda usually did such a thing to punish her when she wasn't listening or forgot to take the demon-slaying blade with her.

The hilt of Kurikara smacked her over the head, causing more tears to well up in her eyes as his voice shouted above her, "What the hell were you thinking, you stupid idiot?! Never leave the dorms without your Innocence! What if an akuma attacked you!?"

She kept her head down as Shiro began yelling at her teacher, "Don't treat her like that! She's upset from whatever she overheard from your loud mouth!"

"Don't tell me how to treat my apprentice, rokudenashi," the Second Exorcist growled at the priest, "Besides, it's not my fault she overheard me telling Moyashi about how useless she is, but most Accomodaters are at first," she looked up to see a scowl on his face, "Now get going, idiot, before the moyashi burns the house down or something."

Yuri was not shocked he had said nothing about Shiro accusing him since the other option was telling the truth. But, she understood what he meant by leaving soon. The Musician was scared and worried about them. Mostly Kanda. The Musician not only was scared to leave the house alone, but also hated it when Kanda left unexpectedly. From what she understood of his powers, the Musician could accidentally damage something if he was overwhelmed. She stood and followed her teacher out of Mephesto's office, and back to the dorm they shared. As soon as the door opened, she could hear something breaking upstairs.

Without warning, the Musician came practically flying down the stairs and tackling the two of them, Kanda taking the brunt of the attack. Yuri found herself sandwiched between the two men until the white hybrid released Kanda but found herself still held looked up at the hybrid and flinched at the angry look in his eyes, shrouded with tears. Yuri had never seen the Musician angry before and for second it looked like he was going to say something, but left just as quickly as he appeared.

"Your dismissed for the rest of the day," she heard Kanda huff as he walked after the sprout, "and I expect to see you tomorrow."

As soon as the Musician felt he was starting to get out of control, he quickly let go of Yuri and bolted back upstairs, hearing Kanda's heavy boots follow him. He finally stopped in a random hallway and waited for Kanda to stop just behind him. He tried not to jump when Kanda placed his hand on him, but Kanda could tell he startled the Musician.

The Second Exorcist slowly released the Musician and sighed, "She really is useless at being an Accomodater. It's almost pointless," The hybrid turned toward him after hearing another sigh, "She doesn't really understand why she needs to become an Accomodater and I don't think she cares either."

"You've been sighing a lot lately," stated the small being before continuing, "May be it's not for her. Does she do well with teachings at the cram school?"

"Above and beyond expectations," nodded Kanda, "However, they teach you nothing about being an Accomodater except for Physical Education."

"Try that then," the Musician whispered, "It may be how you teach and not what you teach."

"Speaking of that, apparently Mephesto wants me to be a guest for a lecture in History of Exorcism or something," huffed Kanda to the Musician's surprise, "They've been studying... Well, 'experiments' the Order conducted." The surprised look on the Musician turned into one of shock. There was only one 'experiment' Kanda had been apart of.

"I'll go," stated Kanda, "Those kids need to be educated and not about how the experiment effected the Order. They need to learn about the lives it fucked up." The two stood there in silence for a while, until the Musician spoke up.

"If you want, I'll come with you," Kanda's eyes darted over to the moyashi, "It's probably going to be scary there, but you might need the support and it would be interesting. I guess... Besides, we should spend time together at the very least." The hybrid quickly stopped talking and looked away.

Kanda's mood took a 360-degree spin and left him confused as hell, "Are you trying to ask me on a date, moyashi?"

"No," shouted the hybrid, whipping his head around and throwing his arms up in defense, "Don't you need a spotter for these kind of things!? Back-up in case there's trouble!?"

"It's a lecture hall full of students! What could go wrong," questioned the very confused Second Exorcist.

The Musician pointed at him dramatically, "You just jinxed it, BaKanda! If nothing was going to happen, it will now! Now, you really do need me there for back-up!" He once again stopped talking abruptly and turned away. From what Kanda could see, the Musician was extremely flustered and panicking right now. However, the only thing Kanda could see at the moment was a quietly shaking figure with the tips of his ears turning bright red and Kanda decided to take action at that moment.

Practically mouthing his ears, Kanda whispered just loud enough, "Then I hope you don't mind me considering it a date, Mo-Ya-Shi," Kanda slowly purred out and flicked his tongue out to skim the thin part of the hybrid's ear that sat just between the red tips and earlobe.

3... 2... 1...!

"GAAAH!" The Destroyer of Time, just realizing he was being licked, let out a startled scream and a small, bright blue explosionDetonated between the two Accomodaters. The small explosion cleared away and left the Brit untouched, but Kanda as a soot-covered, singed, and startled young-looking Japanese man. The Musician turned and walked away with a completely red face to visit the kitchen, leaving Kanda behind to recover.

This ending was mostly inspired by an idea I had. What could be better than an ending with yaoi? One with an explosion.

Detonate is an attack that happens at moments of sudden alarm, anger, and sometimes at will. The color was chosen after Satan's blue flames. Does this mean that Allen can control Satan's flames!?

NO. He can not. The color I wanted to use for this was red- to avoid confusion from readers- but in Ao No Exorcist, everything close to Satan is blue and on fire. Due to where I want this story to go, a power called Dark: Shroud needed to be another color unlike how I originally wanted it to be since it will be used a lot in front of multiple people and blue is bad in Ao No Exorcist.

Blue gives you the idea about how powerful Detonate can be as well as its diversity. It can be small enough that it's only a spark or large enough to wreck a building. It can happen in a quick explosion or slowed down to just create a fire. Blue really suits this ability more than red now that I think about it.

And since I mentioned it, Shroud will have to be explained. But first, I must tell you about Dark. Just like the name implies, Dark is controlling shadows which Neah basically does for Allen. However, Shroud is mostly used only by Allen. This power is a subcategory to Dark and allows Allen to repel light away from an area, just like inside the underground dungeons when Crowned Clown led Shiro and Mephesto to Yuri and Allen, this being the only time Neah uses it. The images we see are just the light bouncing off of an object and Shroud allows Allen to not be seen by rejecting light around him. However, you're left with a giant black gap in space where he should be. If this is not so useful, why is it an ability?

It is useful. Just not now. In the future, I plan to write with Rin and Yukio in the picture and Allen stays hidden under a desk, where there is no light and no one can see him thanks to Dark: Shroud. This is thanks to ninjas and ShadowClan, which both use shadows to hunt prey. Although, Allen doesn't use it to hunt people. Yeah...

RANT COMPLETE. You may thank me now.

P.S. I did not think this far ahead, but it's coming together quite nicely, right? Please respond to my Author's Notes... I get worried when no one answers my questions.

Like, YES OR NO TO YAOI!?111!?/?
