Chapter 3

Yukio woke up as usual. He turned off his alarm, sat up and glanced at his brothers sleeping form. He decided not to wake him and put on his school uniform while ignoring the unmoving bulk in the other bed.
~Rin must be completely wrapped up in there, I can't even see his hair. Yukio thought straightening his tie while looking in the mirror. He didn't want to think about the evening before, his morbid curiosity or Rins strange behavior. He put on his big exorcist coat and left the little bedroom.

"Yo, do you think Yukio wants it like this?" Rins voice traveled through the halls, reaching Yukio. He frowned, thinking of the bulk in the room. Did his moron brother do this on purpose? Now they would have to face eachother, pretending everything was okay, when it wasn't. He straightened his tie, mentally preparing himself for the impending showdown.
"Yeah, you're right. I just want to have him open it and be surprised" Rins voice trailed of. "And be happy" the words seemed so low, like Rin didn't want to admit it. Yukios lips drew up in a slight smile as he walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning." He said quickly hiding his amused smirk.
"Happy to see you up nii-san" Rin spun around, quickly hiding the things in his hands.
"Good morning Yukio." He gave Yukio a cheeky smile, pretending to have been waiting. His slim black tail swooshing excited from side to side. Yukio didn't say anything more, and took his breakfast, ignoring his big brothers fast movement to hide whatever he had had in his hands in the lunchboxes on the kitchen table. Yukio said his thanks and dug in. He wasn't particulary hungry, but he knew he needed the energy in order to perform his best. Rin sat down beside him and dug into his own plate.
"Are you ready for todays test?" Yukios voice was calm, but inwards he laughed. Rin froze mid movement, his eyes moving to look at Yukio, slightly open i their surprise. Rin proceded to jerk his head in small movements till he completely faced his brother. Yukio took a particulary big bite from his breakfast, making it impossible for him to smile at his brothers shocked expression, he turned to face Rin, chewing and smiling at his puffed up cheeks.
"Yukiooooooo.." Rin whined tugging at his brothers collar, shaking them both with the force of his demonic powers.
"Why didn't I know this?" Rin whined, hi blue eyes moist from an almost comical show of frustration. Yukio made a show of swallowing his thorougly chewed breakfast, pushed his glasses back in a foreboding gesture. Rin almost shook from fear.
"Got you" Yukio said smiling.
"There is no test today, but if you ever listened, you would know it was cancelled." Rin let out at loud groan of dissatisfaction and let go of his brothers collar.
"Why would you say something like that?" He whined.
"Why not?" Yukio said finishing his breakfast. Rin shook his head, already forgiving his brother for his prank.
"Thank you for breakfast, see you at school." Yukio said putting the dishes in the dishwasher and waving at his brother.
"Remember your breakfast, otherwise there is no point for me to make it moley four-eyed idiot." Rin said jumping from his seat and running for the lunchbox on the table. He smiled, holding the box towards his brother.
"There you go." Yukio took it, a small smile on his face.
"Thank you nii-san" Yukio said bowing slightly and making sure his smile was neither to warm or shallow. He turned to leave, this time with the lunchbox from his brother.

Rin slammed the door open and hurried into the classroom. They were all there. He hurried to Shiemis side and sat down dropping his schoolback on the empty seat beside him. Yukio coughed at the blackboard, and Rin looked at him. A nerve was twitching by his right eyebrow and his glasses shone omniously.
"Sorry Yu... Sensei." Rin bowed his head almost hitting the table, trying to avoid the storm brewing in his brothers stiff figure. Yukios lips were tightly shut as he contemplated whether or not to berade his inconsiderate brother in front of the others. He wanted to punish him.
"Stay when class is over... And please don't interrupt anymore nii-san". A chill went down Rins spine. He nodded and tried to shrink, so that the glare from Bon would disappear. Shiemi sent a small reassuring smile his way, and it made him feel better. Yukio had already resumed teaching, but Rin couldn't listen. He tried to look at the blackboard and all the information already written there. He had been five minutes late, how could Yukio have been writing so much, in so little time? The writing seemed like a completely different language. He tried to look at Shiemis notes, but she had drawn little pictures of her familiar instead, her eyes dreamily fixed on Yukio. A jealux twinge caught in his heart. If Yukio felt that intense feeling for Shiemi, Rins heart would break. He looked at Bon. His eyes kept darting from the blackboard down on paper, but it was to far away for Rin to read. Rin took out pen and paper, wanting to make Yukio happy, if this was the only thing. He started copying the information to paper, thinking he could always decipher the meaning later. Why was time moving so slowly? Shiemi nudged at him discreetly, making Rin look up.
"Eh?" Yukio frowned at the obviously uninterested ravenhaired teen.
"Bon, would you please?" Yukio made a gesture and Bon stood up giving Rin a smug glare.
"When in combat one must.." Bons voice faded out. It really wasn't Rins fault, Bons voice was.. Hypnotic? How could he remember all of those lines? Rin disappeared into another fantasy, scribbling nonsense, thinking of Yukio. His face was so familiar, Rin thought, although people said Yukios face seemed more mature. He had seen so much. Rin broke the pen in his hand, thinking about the pain his brother had carried all alone. It was strange thinking they were twins, their connection seemed so much more important. Yukio had resumed teaching. His eyes seemed calm, as he spoke, his body moving gracious around as he scribbled down words and phrases to remember on the blackboard. Rin grinded his teeth.
~ Why do I have to be so stupid?
"Thank you, this is all for today."


Authors notes: I enjoy writing, and enjoy feedback. And I enjoy this fic. I do not own the anime I based this writing on even though that would have been awesome.
