Chapter 10
The next day class was once again boring me, that is until the bell rang and the teacher spoke the words that made my soul leave my body. 'Alright class remember that this will all be on the big test tomorrow, see you all then.' He spoke as I turned to Rin with tears in my eyes. 'What test? I never heard him mention this before!' I cried out as he looked as freaked as I was. 'I guess we were sleeping when he told us before, man I am terrible at math…' Rin sighed, 'same here… it was something I was never able to grasp.' I continued to sigh, 'well it's time to head to cram school…' Rin replied as we both moved lifelessly to class. When we arrived I noticed Renzou waving at me, as I waved back my attention turned to Ryuji and then it hit me. He can help me study! 'Ryujiiii!' I cried out as I got on my knees and grabbed his hands. His face was red as I was staring into his eyes. 'Wha what is it?' Ryuji stuttered, 'I need you!' I cried out as Ryuji's face turned as red as a tomato. 'What?' Renzou and Koneko cried out, as Ryuji was too surprised to speak. 'I uh…' Ryuji was finally able to mutter out. 'I need you to help me study, please say yes!' Tears formed in my eyes, 'oh okay… what for?' Ryuji replied as he returned to a calmer demeanor. 'Math and I am terrible at it, not to mention I am failing the class.' I replied, 'yeah I'm good at math.' Ryuji stated, 'is after school today okay? The test is tomorrow.' I questioned, 'yeah sure.' Ryuji replied as I dove into his arms as he freaked out. 'Mira cut it out!' He shouted, 'haha having fun there Bon?' Renzou joked as Ryuji shot him a death glare, just as Yukio entered to start the class.
After class I followed Ryuji to his dorm room. 'Yay Ryuji's bed!' I cheered as I dove onto his bed once again. 'What is it with you and my bed?' Ryuji questioned as he smiled with amusement. 'Hmm I dunno I guess I just feel comfortable when I am close to you.' I replied as a subtle blush crossed my face, I smiled as I saw Ryuji's face turn red. He was cute when he was embarrassed. 'Well we should get started, come over to the desk.' Ryuji ordered as he took out his text. 'Awe but it's much comfier over here,' I moaned. 'Look you said you wanted my help right?' Ryuji replied as he took a seat, 'fine you win…' I sighed in defeat as I took my seat across the table from him. It didn't take long for me to slam my head on the table, 'I give up!' I cried out, 'it's only been 5 minutes!' Ryuji shot back, 'I know but I just don't get math…' I felt tears well up in my eyes, 'look just try to focus a little bit longer, here I will show you!' Ryuji stated as he took a seat beside me and picked up my pencil. 'Okay so this part here is about statistics, you need to state what the evidence from this section shows and then explain your answer here.' Ryuji attempted to explain; 'I know what might make me more motivated!' I smiled as Ryuji's eyes widened, 'what your grades aren't reason enough?' He questioned, 'if I pass then will you take me out for ice cream?' I asked as I felt my cheeks feel hot. 'So ice cream will make you study more?' He questioned with a tone that implied he was confused. Truthfully what I wanted was to go out with him, but I couldn't say that. 'Yep I guess you can say I really like ice cream.' I blushed knowing what I really meant; 'alright I will take you out this Friday only if you pass!' Ryuji smiled as my eyes widened, 'okay I will study hard!' I smiled back as we picked up where we left off.
Two hours later I had maxed out my attention span. 'You did well,' Ryuji smiled as I closed my books. 'Thank you so much Ryuji I think I will pass!' I replied with a huge smile, 'well you do want ice cream right?' He laughed back, 'I really do!' I laughed as well as my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID to see it was Mephisto. 'Oh crap I forgot Mephy wanted me to meet him at his office!' I cried out, 'you better answer it then!' Ryuji replied, 'hi Mephy I am so sorry I was getting help with my math.' I answered, 'oh don't worry but I would head here soon, Rin and I are waiting for you but don't worry we have passed the time so far by showing him your special photo album.' Mephy replied as I went white. 'Nooooo Mephy please don't show him those pictures they are so embarrassing.' I shouted, 'they are adorable,' Mephy replied. 'Are you kidding you took pictures of the most embarrassing times in my life, I am coming now so stop it!' I yelled back as I hung up the phone. 'What photos?' Ryuji questioned, 'let's just say that dress I was wearing the other day isn't the most embarrassing thing he has had me wear… anyway I need to go, thanks again see you tomorrow!' I stated as I ran out the door leaving a really confused Ryuji. When I arrived at Mephisto's office I saw Rin looking through the photos, 'damn it Mephy!' I cried out as I snatched the album from Rin and glared at Mephisto. 'Well you got here quick enough,' Mephy smirked. 'I thought they were cute!' Rin replied, my face turned a dark shade of red. 'I feel violated…' I replied as I sunk into the floor. 'All right so the reason I called you both here is because of recent events. Mira you are now aware that Rin is the son of Satan, also you are now studying the art of demon swords from Shura am I right?' Mephisto questioned as he sat at his desk. 'Yeah that's right, what about it?' I asked, 'well this should go without saying but you both need to keep it secret that you are training with Shura and make sure on missions with the group of Exwires that you both don't draw your swords.' Mephisto informed, 'I already know all of this!' Rin replied, 'yes but what you don't know is the danger you might face in the future. If you come into a situation where you need to draw your sword and others are around, you need to leave your comrades even if they are injured.' Mephisto replied as Rin and I both froze. 'You know we would never abandon our friends,' I shouted. 'Yes but if Rin's identity is known things may be worse for you two then you fear. Not everyone is accepting of demon blood, especially when it comes to Satan.' Mephisto explained as I turned to look at Rin. 'Yeah but what about Mira, she could stay with them!' Rin replied, 'in cases like that you will need someone to assure you are safe as well as keep your identity hidden, if you go on your own the others will worry more then if you have another Exwire with you. They will be less likely to follow,' Mephisto added. 'You do have a point… okay I understand.' I replied as Mephy smiled, 'good, you two are free to go now.' 'Come on Mira,' Rin spoke as I followed him out the door.
When we got back we both had dinner, it was quite awkward, it seemed we both had the same thing on our minds. 'I wonder what the others would think if they knew…' Rin broke the silence. 'Rin we can't worry about that right now, we will just have to believe in them and hope if the time comes they will believe in us.' I smiled gently as I saw a smile return to Rin's face. 'You're right!' Rin replied as he shoveled down the rest of his food. The next day was the test and I think I might have passed, I hoped at least. I wouldn't find out till Friday so I was eagerly awaiting the results. At lunch I met up with Ryuji, Rin and the boys. Renzou was talking about a new pervy magazine that he bought. 'Shima you shouldn't be talking about these kinds of things with Mira here…' Ryuji sighed, 'why? Mira understands a young man's needs.' Renzou replied as he placed his hand on my shoulder. 'He's right, after all it is natural for teenage boys to need magazines like that for stimulation when it comes to masturbation.' I smiled back as everyone turned red and froze, 'uh Mira what are you doing?' Rin questioned as he avoided eye contact. 'What's wrong? After all I am positive all of you do it, I mean it's nothing to feel embarrassed about.' I continued as they continued to blush and avoid eye contact. 'Uh Shima make her stop…' Ryuji spoke, 'I don't know how!' Renzou cried back, 'you started this now finish it!' Ryuji barked back. 'Okay well Mira do you?' Renzou spoke as he then had a look of shock that he asked that. Everyone else went white as well. 'Yeah, I am a woman with urges as well. Why are you guys so surprised?' I asked as blood spurt from all of the boys' noses. 'I uh think I should head back to class, see you all at cram school!' I waved as I left. I really had no idea what the big deal was but I believe I made them all uncomfortable. I still had a lot to learn when it came to social skills…
