Chapter 2: Deal With

Rin's POV

A God!? There's no way this tracksuit-wearing weirdo is a God! Let alone a God of Calamity! The clown has to be messing with me; he has to be. As I'm about to turn around to retort to Mephisto I'm given a bag and not a light one at that. I look towards Shura; who had given me the bag. "The hell is in here?! Bricks!" I exclaim as I try to lift it up into my arms properly, even with my demon strength that seems impossible!

"Yer books and a bunch of worksheets we made for you to complete." I stared at Shura with shock in my eyes with my mouth hanging open and gasping, but nothing came out. "You didn't think we'd let you go anywhere without taking some study material with you. Yer still going to do yer studies where yer going, kid."

Now my mouth hung wide open before a growl passed through my throat and I looked away from her, a frown crossing my features. "Damn it. I thought when you said I was leaving the academy for a while you meant no studies too."

Shura approached and bent down to my eye-level; her violet eyes held amusement in them as a smirk crossed her face. "Oh, I thought you liked it here?"

"I'm better in the field than writing shit down! Screw studying!" I exclaimed which earned a sigh from her as she grabbed my head and shoved me over to the guy in the tracksuit; making me nearly tumble over from the force of her push. She's knows I'm carrying a bag that I can hardly carry so why freaking push me!?

"Rin, it's only until things cool down here." I turn around to face Shura; who held a look I'd never seen on her face before. Was she … concerned for me? "Yato and his regalia will take care of you…" Her eyes narrowed at the guy behind me as if intimidating him. "…won't you?"

I turned to face him as a laugh escaped his lips and he nodded, rubbing the back of his head as if embarrassed by this turn of events. Well, he's not the only one. "Yea, sure, a God makes sure to take their wishes straight to heart!"

"Corny much…" I looked to who had said that and saw a boy no younger than me behind the guy called Yato. I have to admit that what he said was kind of corny. I think I might like this kid if I'm gonna be living with them.

"So, you've got everything you need. You can leave now, Mr Okumura," Mephisto cooed as he waved at the three of us to leave.

"Oh, piss off you clown!" I exclaimed as Yato grabbed my shoulder; hearing a sigh come from his mouth and we disappeared from Mephisto's office. Wait, we disappeared from Mephisto's office!? What the hell! We suddenly appeared in another room that looked as if it was a clean attic with boxes near the walls, a desk near a large window and two futons on the floor. I fell backwards in shock, dropping the bag beside me as I looked around. "W…What the hell…"

"Yato, Daikoku won't be happy about this," I heard the boy whisper to Yato and once I looked up at them; Yato seemed like he didn't care, waving his hands as though to push the problem aside.

"Daikoku won't like it, but Kofuku won't mind," Yato said as if the issue had already passed. I bit my bottom lip, believing something bad was gonna happen and I didn't like it. I sighed and stood up as Yato turned around to face me with a huge smile on his face which freaked me out a little. Is that how I look when I grin all the time? Freaky. "Anyways, I'm the God Yato and this is my regalia Yukine." He pointed to the boy beside him; who just plopped down on the ground, turned around and started working at the desk.

Wow, this kid reminds me of Yukio when he wants to get his work done. "Not very friendly is he?" I asked, more bluntly than I had meant to, earning a huff from the younger teen.

"You two will get along just fine! It's just the house owners you need to worry about," Yato told me which caught my attention straight away.

"Wait … This isn't your house!" I exclaimed a lot more loudly than I had expected.

"Of course it isn't. He doesn't even have his own shrine," Yukine stated as he began to write something in his book. I blinked at this and looked at Yato; a God without a shrine? That's gotta be tough. Poor guy. Though mooching off of someone else is definitely a no-go even for a God.

Yato just rubbed behind his head, still holding the smile on his fave though it seemed more nervous now. "Actually I do have a shrine."

"Why aren't we there then?" I asked, tilting my head in confusion.

Yato then, pointed his finger at the windowsill and I turned and saw a miniature shrine sitting there with his name carved into it. It looked like it had been hand-made out of wood and other materials; whoever made it really did a good job. "It's a God's greatest wish to get shrine because it makes them know that people will remember them." I saw that the guy before me was looking at the shrine with a hint of contempt in his crystal eyes. A shrine really means that much to a God? Whoever made it for him must really care deeply for him and known about how much he wanted one then.

"What's the ruckus up here?" I heard a deep voice growl and I had the distinct feeling that this guy is going to be a real pain to get along with … like Suguro. Though once the guy came up I stopped and thought about how scarily similar he looked to Suguro except without the two-types of coloured hair and piercings, but that only lasted briefly before his face darkened and he PUNCHED YATO INTO THE ROOF! What the hell is this guy!? "I didn't say you could bring someone over!"

I could only stare as Yato's head made contact with the guy's fist, hit the roof and then landed on the ground again. Yato coughed once he landed on the ground and sat up, smiling at the guy as if nothing happened. How the hell can he smile after he was punched into the roof! "It's from a wish I have to fulfil. I have to take care of him for a little while."

The guy loomed over Yato while cracking his knuckles which was starting to freak me out. I looked over to Yukine; who seemed to watch with a bored look as if this happened all the time. Wait, did it really!? Was this some form of entertainment to him!? "Why wasn't I informed about this?"

My attention turned back to the two as the man had Yato by his tracksuit shirt and glared down on him. Yato just shrugged, keeping his smile on his face not caring if he got pummelled. "It kind of just happened."

"Really now?"

A nod from Yato and I sat down, guessing this was going to go on for a while. I opened the bag Shura gave me, ignoring the argument in front of me; since that's what Yukine was doing and took out a few worksheets that I'm meant to do, looking down at the sheets of paper nearly made my eyes bug out. They were mostly revision worksheets! "W…What the hell is this!?" I flip the papers, catching the attention of the arguing duo and Yukine. "Revision! Really Yukio! Really!" I fall onto my back, dropping the papers in the process and splaying my arms out in exhaustion just from looking at the sheets.

The guy growled at me and finally let Yato go as I sat up to begin picking the sheets up and stuffing them back in the bag so as not to piss him off. "If you're gonna stay here you might as well work for it." I looked up at him in shock at what he said. "Do you know any way you can do that?"

"Err … I can cook," I told him, but it came out as more of a question as if asking if that would help.

This only made him look more closely at me with a glare. I didn't know whether he was trying to figure out whether he should let me in his kitchen or was trying to figure me out. He then, stood back up and huffed, folding his arms together. "Fine, you can cook." As he walked away I thought I heard him mutter, "I need a break every once and a while anyway."

Once he left the room I fell back onto the floor and exhaled. That guy reminds me way too much of Suguro for me to be scared of him. "That was Daikoku." I hear Yato's voice come from beside me as he looks to the door in a bored way. "He is scary when you first meet him…" The purple-haired man turns to face me with a huge grin on his face. "…but he's actually really into kids."

My eyes widened and my hands clenched around the cloth of Kurikara and before Yato can blink I whacked him on the head with it, shocking Yukine and Yato. "Is that meant to be a joke because I don't find it funny?"

I sat back down, grumbling to myself, but once I did I heard laughter and looked to see Yukine laughing. "I can't believe you just got hit on the head with a sword without it being sheathed!" I blinked at this, but smirked a little at the younger teen's sense of humour. These people certainly are weird, but I feel as though I can live here for however long I'm meant to stay here.

"Hey, kid! Help me with dinner will you!"

When I heard Daikoku's voice I wondered whether to go or not as I sat up and stared at the ground. I'm not even settled in properly. I don't know. I feel so awkward here. I don't really know the people and being away from Yukio makes it worse. My eyelids lowered to cover my blue orbs as I felt so lost without my twin. Damn it, why did I have be sent so far away from him?

I felt a nudge on my shoulder and looked to see Yato grinning down on my and I frowned at him. "I know you miss those at the academy, but you'll go back soon. Just try and get used to us and we'll get used to you."

I sighed and nodded at what Yato said. I had to give these guys a chance. I couldn't just say I don't like them from a first meeting when I don't even know them. That's how I felt when I first met Suguro and the guys and then we got to actually become friends … until that damn camping trip.

I stood up and began to head for the door and looked down the stairs as the situation really began to dawn on me. I was in someone else's house and I mostly didn't feel comfortable with this. I know I went ahead to see what Yukio was doing when he went to Shiemi's supply shop, but that was on a mission … this is different. I never actually went inside. I just feel so … I shake my head and walk down the stairs with determined eyes. Stop that, Rin! You're not a coward! This is just a house!

I walk down the stairs and reached a doorway to a living room where a girl was sitting with BRIGHT PINK HAIR! It's brighter than Shima's! She heard me and turned to face me with a huge goofy grin on her face. "Daiki told me that Yatty brought you back from somewhere and that you'll be staying with us for a little while." Her smile widened at this. "How wonderful!"

She lunged at me and I knew what she was trying to do. She was gonna try and give me a hug! Why? I don't exactly know, but being glomped by someone I just met isn't exactly a pleasant first meeting; though before I could move away, she was picked up by the back of her shirt which looked a lot like a school uniform. "My lady, please don't do that to the guest."

She gave Daikoku a pout as he put her back on the floor as she turned back to me. "My name is Kofuku! What's yours?" Her excitement is almost contagious … how is this guy not jumping off the walls like her? Or is he the one that keeps her in check? Now I know how Yukio must feel with me bouncing around all the time. Though I can't help it if I'm so curious about every damn mission he goes on!

"I'm Rin Okumura," I said with a small smile, trying to show that I'm not some temperamental teen that whines about homework all the time. Well, in truth I actually am.

"Okay, Rin, you'll help me cook dinner," Daikoku ordered, well, I think it was an order. He looked over to the still grinning Kofuku; who looked like she had just had a huge sugar rush. "Kofuku, behave."

"Okay!" She exclaimed with her high-pitched voice which reminded me a little of Shiemi's. I turned to follow Daikoku into the kitchen as I heard one last thing from Kofuku. "Make sure not to burn anything, Rinni!" I turned around to face her in shock as she just giggled and sat back down at the coffee table and I was pulled into the kitchen by Daikoku, forcefully.

What did she mean by that? Did she know about me and my flames? I mean she can't can she, because Yato said he was the only one that knew! Is there something going on here that I don't know about?

The second chapter of Exorcists And Gods (My Noragami & Blue Exorcist Crossover) which I am enjoying writing so far. The first beginning chapters will just be Rin getting used to living with Yato and Yukine until we get to some actual action, sorry about that; still trying to figure out how the story will go. Also, obviously this takes place right after Rin's trial in the Vatican from Chapter 14 (Manga) and Episode 15 (Anime), but obviously won't take place in either universe to avoid confusion or plot holes. In Noragami, I was thinking at first to place it before Yato and Bishamon made up (Possibly around beginning of Aragato), but then I thought maybe a little after that before he's kidnapped by Nora (Episode 8 of Aragato). Anyways, that's all I'm gonna reveal about it right now. Hope you enjoyed!

P.S. I decided that Kofuku should give Rin a nickname since she loves doing that like Yukine-Yukki, Yato-Yatty, Hiyori-Hiyorin ('Yori' in the dub) and Bishamon-Bisha. I thought it'd suit her to give Rin a nickname since she does it with everyone else.

P.P.S I added a little to the chapter as I forgot all about mentioning his little shrine that Hiyori made. I just thought to quickly add it in while re-reading it.😋

D0A OUT!
